Realm of Power

655 Sap

In July, the earth is on fire, and the scorching sun seems to be able to melt everything on the earth. The Ikadiva continent has ushered in the hottest quarter of the year.

War, war, war. Except for the Redians and East Kugits in Rebogen in the north, who were about to beat their heads into dog heads, other places were not peaceful either.

After careful analysis, the southern Lods finally came to the correct conclusion that the Vecian army was not willing to go to war with them yet.

The 40,000-strong army that retreated back into the country, after bumping up and down in the hot and dense forests on the border for five or six days, suddenly appeared in the Brestany Mountains on the east side of West Dorok, and then under the strict order of the famous German general Medillan Then, he continued to move towards the hub city of Rente.

The garrison of Renent City is a general named Dohamedi ◎ Since the German army has always adopted the tactic of frontal breakthrough, the main force of Dohamedi's army was as expected, and the main force of the entire army was deployed in the east of Rennes border areas.

In the end, it only took a day for the Lud people to capture this largest hub city connecting the southeastern part of the mainland.

Medillan showed the sharp vision that a famous general should have. When the Dorok people's defense was unstable and the morale of the army was turbulent because of this incident, the main force of 40,000 Rode marched quickly and successively captured 4 cities of the Dorok people. , the soldiers pointed directly at the heart of the Dorok Federation, scaring many Rok nobles to the point of peeing, and almost collapsed on the spot...

The war in Salander Kyoto in the south was also in full swing. The Northern Army of Salander, who was stimulated for some unknown reason, suddenly launched wave after wave of offensives against Salander Kyoto like chicken blood, suppressing Desalande Kyoto couldn't breathe,

I heard that the somewhat neurotic His Majesty the Sultan was completely, completely, without any doubt, lying on the bed alive, and that the scheming and calculating Great Prince was also completely wilted this time.

When it comes to conspiracy, this guy is absolutely top-notch, but when it comes to fighting, this guy is second-rate. The tens of thousands of troops at the beginning showed weakness and ambushed, but were fooled into death by Dylans' army of less than 10,000. , is enough to illustrate the problem,

It is said that this time the Northern Army besieged Kyoto with so much enthusiasm because of this unscrupulous guy who devised some kind of continuous sitting method.

Anyone who is stranded in Kyoto and has anything to do with the Northern Army will be arrested and used as a human body wall when necessary. Anyone with any intelligence can imagine what that situation is like.

This was a hornet's nest, the kind of super hornet's nest that explodes in one bucket, but this guy with a huge conspiracy index didn't seem to realize that he went down without hesitation, almost making the entire Salander Kyoto nobles explode on the spot.

The wind is messy, the earthquake caused by the southern decree has not subsided, and the hurricane that can be said to have uprooted the roots has once again swept away the sad-looking nobles of Salander Kyoto,

It is said that the heads of several major families in Kyoto knelt down in tears on the spot when they took the new decree. There was no way they could survive.

Salander only has such a large land, and there are only so many nobles. It is an island country isolated from the mainland, and nobles cannot marry commoners. There are only a few well-matched families, and those who can afford it are of marriageable age and good-looking. There are only a few of them that are easy to get along with, and that won’t scare anyone when you take them out. These are all carefully selected treasures.

Although there is a generation gap between the north and the south, there is no generation gap in Kyoto. Many families are proud of their marriage to Kyoto. Over the past few hundred years, which family has not had several relatives in the south or Kyoto, including his cousin's second uncle, his third sister, and his fourth brother. . . . ♦If you go around like this, you will definitely find one or several southern noble families.

After doing this, the whole Kyoto is in chaos. Who can bear the thought of fighting bloody battles on the front line but not even being able to protect his family behind him?

A major rebellion broke out without any premeditation, collusion, and preliminary preparation. If the fourth prince Fubailou had not mobilized the Mamunuk knights in the city in time to control the situation,

The entire Kyoto aristocracy can burn the eldest prince's mansion as rubbish. People's hearts are against him. Who says the sky has no eyes? Fubailou, the poor fourth prince who has been unloved since he was a child, has shown this in the chaos in Kyoto. An extremely decisive and powerful method,

Several counterattacks planned by him personally almost reduced the powerful Salander noble army to ashes. His popularity and reputation among the Kyoto army were several blocks higher than those of other princes.

Especially this time in the battle for Ruoman Mountain, several areas were taken away from the Northern Army. It was considered to have completely shattered the Northern Army's siege of the Kyoto area. It seemed to be a trend of drawing a line with the North.

If the central region had not encountered a severe drought that had not happened in a century this year, and the grain harvest had not been sufficient, resulting in a logistics dilemma, maybe the fourth prince, who was like a fierce tiger, with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves, would have done nothing outside Kyoto. It is not impossible for all the northern troops to rush back to their hometown in the north.

This guy is really good at fighting. Several powerful families in Kyoto met and put it all together. Come on, nothing matters now. Whoever can fight the most will be the most useful.

If Kyoto is destroyed and everyone dies, no one will say that so-and-so is my relative. In the face of absolute interests, Zhengcheng will turn into a bloodthirsty beast, not to mention those poor relatives who are full of resentment for being abandoned. , if we really let them enter the city, they would probably cause more harm than the eldest prince. That is simply not the same level.

"Your Majesty is old and the country is in trouble. The crown prince's rebellious behavior has caused turmoil in Kyoto. He is no longer able to control the affairs of the court. He needs a wise regent to assist your majesty in running the kingdom."

His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince of Fubailou became the Regent of Salander. As for the Northern Army outside the city, it also subsided.

This is originally a civil war for the power of the Salander nobles. If the new regent can cancel the southern decree and restore the land and reputation of the southern nobles, it is okay for everyone to make do with it. After all, the fourth prince's fighting ability is abnormal. , with the Vikians watching from the other side, no General Salander dared to fight head-on.

Unfortunately, the news returned from Kyoto does not seem to be conducive to the Northern Army.

When Fu Bailou became the regent, the violence he had been suppressing suddenly broke out. In his eyes, these weak Salander nobles were simply a bunch of scum.

The people who attacked us at the beginning were the vigilantes of Vikia. You two-pronged Salander traitors are nothing like you.

With these words, the new regent wielded the Sword of the King of Shanrico, which had killed countless heads, and once again launched a war against the north.

4,000 experienced Salander Mamunuk knights and 15,000 infantry regiments, under the leadership of this young regent who was good at fighting, set out from Nales in Kyoto and along the central route The Sarris Mountains advance all the way eastward,

The new regent's reply made the northern army generals very hurt. It had only been three days, and the Salander northern garrison responsible for resisting the Kyoto army's northward advance was like a squeezed persimmon, with bright red blood flowing out. filled the earth,

In order to retaliate against the people of Kyoto, all the castles and fortresses along the way were destroyed. Looking at the half-collapsed city walls, the dilapidated castle burned into black pillars by fire, and the ruins of the fortress full of broken mud and wild vegetables, Salander The Northern Army was completely in tears;

How to fight like this? This time the Kyoto army was like being drugged. Their morale was so high that they collectively transformed into Super Saiyans. They sang songs all the way, waved battle flags, and conquered the castle. They were invincible and had great potential. The posture of killing gods when meeting gods, and killing Buddhas when meeting Buddhas,

Coupled with the personal expedition of the young and heroic regent, the momentum and combat power of the army are already unparalleled. In this case, if they cannot effectively stop it, then they really have no choice but to pack up their bed and get out.

"Vekians, where are the Vekians?" The frightened General Salander only then remembered the Vekians who had defeated Kyoto and lost their armor. Although there are only 10,000 troops stationed in the center now. The Vekian Army, after all, are elite Vekians who have fought a hundred battles, right? Once they are pulled out, the Kyoto Army on the opposite side may shrink. You know, for the Vekian Falcon, the Kyoto Army was beaten to the point of suffering sequelae. ,

Regarding these heartless Salander nobles who asked the Wikians to leave and now came to hug their thighs in tears, Voctus, who stayed on the island, opened his eyes with goo and shrugged extremely dissatisfied. Shrugging his shoulders, "Excuse me, what are you doing here at midnight? Don't you know that disturbing someone's rest is a very impolite behavior?"

"We need help"

The representative of the Salander nobles saw Actus holding on to the last straw like a drowning man, with a desperate look on his face. He wanted to be honest with him directly, without even the most basic diplomatic rhetoric.

"Sir, we need reinforcements. The Kyoto army surrounded the Chikla Fortress. We lost 8,000 people. 8,000 people. Without reinforcements, we have no chance of winning. We can only save us now, so we have to put it aside."

"Me? Who to save?" Actus pretended to be stupid.

"Just like you did before, use your swords and riding boots to slap those Kyoto bastards in the face." The Salander representative shouted hysterically with a look of enjoyment on his face, as excited as if he was doing this. thing

"There is no way." Walkertus said, and after asking carefully for a while, he shrugged regretfully, "I'm sorry, this matter must be reported to the Grand Duke. It is not the general's power to start a war against a kingdom. It is my responsibility. Defense territory, I have no power to decide other matters.”

"Where is the Grand Duke now?" Representative Salander had a dark look on his face. If he had known this, he wouldn't have been so excited just now. It was very embarrassing.

"According to the military battle report issued last month, the Grand Duke seems to be on vacation now. The specific location should be in the area north of Lazar Port, south of Natu, west of Eberron, and east of the Snowy Mountains." Walker Tu Si continued to pretend to be stupid. This has become his habit. This is also the reason why Fatty specially chose him to guard Salander. He is smart when he should be smart and stupid when he should be stupid. This is the talent of a general who guards a side. Otherwise, what? Take care of everything and still not get scolded to death

"..." After hearing the scope described by Vectus, the Salander noble looked sad, "Damn it, isn't that the entire Wikiia?"

"There is no way. In our country, the position of the Grand Duke is the highest military secret. Don't tell me about you. Even I don't know. Please understand." Vactus picked up the water glass from the table, blew it gently, and kept talking intermittently. , and then said the following words: "If you really have something urgent, I will convey it as soon as possible, but, um, oh, it should, at least, take half a month or more. This is already the fastest speed." , please understand "

"Half a month..." Representative Salander was completely stupid and couldn't even speak clearly. What should we do in this half month? Waiting to die? Or go jump into the sea collectively. . "

"During this period of time, I can only rely on your bravery." Vactus spread his hands.

Representative Salander's face turned pale and his lips trembled for a long time.

Brave? Brave asshole, if bravery works, those Mamunuk generals who are clamoring for me to challenge the invincible in the world would have rushed up and cut the regent into pieces. They need to be like the third grandson now, hiding in the fortress. He didn't even dare to show his head, so he sent me, a powerless civil servant, to come out and rescue him.

His answer was still the standard action of Walkertus, shrugging, "No way, please understand."

The representative of the Rand's Northern Army was already frothing at the mouth and fell twitching.

Somewhere in the north of Vecia, in a castle high on a hilltop,

Someone is leisurely admiring the beautiful scenery in front of him, while gently tasting the ice-cold Lingluo fruit wine brought from Salander. It has a light sour and sweet taste and an intoxicating aroma.

The fragrance comes from the opposite side, the fragrance blows on my face, the beauty is alluring, the fat man looks a little silly

"Haha, sir, you lost again"

Opposite her, Grand Duchess Nilay had a joyful and seductive smile on her fair and bright face. With her white hands, she gently picked up a precious chess piece carved from crystal amber from the chessboard and put it into the golden chess piece next to her. The box is filled with the same chess pieces, but the flag box on the other side only contains a few chess pieces.

"We lost again. It's the third set..." The fat man seemed to have recovered from his trance, and said to himself, who would believe that the Vekia Falcon, which had no rivals on the battlefield, was actually an underdog? chess idiot,

"Now, sir, can you tell me why you want to help Salander Kyoto?" Nilai stared at the fat man with her bright moon-like eyes, showing a bit of pride that the conspiracy had succeeded. "If your Majesty hadn't let someone deliberately betray you, I'm afraid It's impossible for the young regent to defeat the siege of the Northern Army so quickly, right? "

"Ahem, how do I know this?" The fat man heard the complaint from the beautiful duchess and coughed slightly with an embarrassed look on his face. "Maybe this is just a coincidence. You also know those guys in the Northern Army, typical White-eyed wolf, you have helped them so much, what do you get in return?

"Really? What a coincidence," the duchess said to herself.

The fat man paused, glanced at Nilai, who had a cold face, and said slowly, "Actually, this is not a bad thing. Rather than staying and becoming a scourge, those so-called northern troops might as well send the young regent from Kyoto to him. It's good for him anyway." This bite, these are excellent reputations and achievements, how could he let it go? If he didn't swallow it, he might suffer from indigestion."

"Then, what are you going to do next?" Nilai gritted her teeth and asked unwillingly, "Let Kyoto continue to grow, or... fight..."

Yes, war, Nilai's kind heart ached a little. She thought about how Fatty had caused a bloody storm in Salander in just a few months. If Fatty also wanted to be angry for her, the Duchess would be very happy. His big eyes blinked, feeling a trepidation and unknown excitement.

"Don't worry, I have no plans to go to war with Salander yet." The fat man certainly knew what the kind-hearted duchess was thinking, and smiled at the corner of his mouth. "That regent is not qualified to be my opponent yet.

"Such an opponent is really not worthy of my action," the fat man said with a sincere face. "He is young and unruly and suddenly rises to a high position. He doesn't care about stability and uses troops blindly. He doesn't know the enemy's details, nor does he know his own details. It would be strange if he doesn't cause trouble. Now every battle we fight is actually consuming Kyoto’s abundant food reserves and taking a step closer to death.”

"Death line?" Nilai's eyes widened in astonishment. This was the first time she heard the argument that if you win, you will die. If someone else had said this, she would have scorned it. She didn't see the Kyoto military commander. Morale is like a rainbow or death? , even if your whole family dies, the Kyoto army will not die.

"Okay, I believe you"

Nilai nodded infinitely piously, and just when the fat man looked impressed, he suddenly said, "I heard that there is one of the most popular proverbs in the Ikadiva continent. The sharp claws of a falcon never fail. This proverb has been around for a long time." It has penetrated deeply into the hearts of the entire Ikadiva continent, and it has almost reached the level of a heaven-defying curse. You said that the regent is going to die, I believe it.

The fat man's face was covered with black lines in embarrassment, and he smiled bitterly, "Really, it's just a coincidence."

"Haha, it's just a joke," Nilai said with a playful smile. "Who told you not to tell me? Although I don't have any insights on layout, I'm not a fool either.

The loopholes in the defense of the Northern Army, no matter how you look at it, it seems that the castles and fortresses that were left behind were ordered to be demolished by your Majesty. The stone bridge that blocked the river was built by your Majesty. I didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now it seems that it is just the same. To the end?

Now the Northern Army can't even stop them if they want to vomit. They can be beaten to a pulp like a chain being pulled apart. Now they have transferred me from the north of Salander. It is obvious that they don't want my alliance to lose. The army supports the Northern Army?"

"You see," the fat man's face changed, and he said apologetically, "Actually, it's not that I didn't say it, but that this kind of thing depends on the conditions. When evacuating, no one knew what would happen. If I told you in advance , will produce wrong guidance, and when the time comes, it will be bad.”

"Oh, are there any conditions?" Nilai's eyes glowed,

The fat man nodded and asked, "Is there a severe drought in central China this year? Is there no food to eat? Is it true that the refugee wave is coming again? Isn't it that central China is already in a state of drought?"

Nilai nodded silently. It has not rained in the central area of ​​Saland for three months this year. The wheat seedlings in the fields are basically all dead. In the scorching summer, the ground is dry and cracked with cracks that can accommodate the palm of your hand. The crack is simply too horrible to look at.

"You said that the regent has no food at all. Isn't he looking for death if he starts a war now?" The fat man said with some pride. "The more territory he conquers, the more people he gains. Then his burden will be heavy. Once the food shortage reaches a critical point, , not to mention civilians, even the army will mutiny,

"That's a human being. It's impossible for a brave warrior to go without food and water. If we don't want to fight then, just wait and accept the territory." Under the fat man's poisonous tongue, Nilai didn't even have a chance to refute.

"Actually, what I'm thinking about right now is how wonderful it would be if my little Nile wore Queen Salander's jeweled crown on her head."

The fat man felt that his level of love talk was getting higher and higher, especially when paired with an affectionate face, deep and bright eyes with strong feelings inside.

Sure enough, the face of Duchess Salander, who was a little angry just now, turned red, her round E-cups straightened up, and her face was flushed. She looked as refreshing as drinking ice water on a dog day in June.

"Queen Salander..."

"The beautiful Grand Duchess lowered her head. Thinking about the scene where the fat man put on the gorgeous and flawless crown for herself, her heart melted with sweetness. Although the Duchess did not have much taste for power, the title of Queen is very important to anyone. For regular people, it is like a shining gem with unparalleled lethality.

Fatty didn't know when Salander's regent died, but he knew that people were going to die in Rebogen not far away, and many people died.

In mid-July, the Battle of Rebogen, which had been stalemate for half a month, entered its climax. The stalemate of the battle was broken due to an unauthorized surprise attack by the ill-tempered eldest prince Alsax of Redian.

The powerful First Knight Order is truly worthy of being the royal guard of the successive kings of Ruidian. It has powerful combat capabilities, and its discipline, equipment, and staffing are all top-notch.

Just like a big weight was suddenly added to the scale, the situation of the battle suddenly changed.

A total of more than 5,000 well-equipped Ridian knights marched towards the seemingly powerful flank of the Dongting people without hesitation. The reaction was unexpectedly large. There were only 4 wooden camps and 6,000 light cavalry. The right wing of Dongting was suddenly on the verge of collapse.

The Ruidian pike cavalry and patrol cavalry guard the two wings, and in the middle is a tough center composed of the Ruidian royal guards. The back line of archers provides a bit of ranged attack with dispensable projectiles.

And at the very back, surrounded by two teams of a hundred royal guards and twenty guard knight captains, rushing forward in the river as high as a horse's belly, was Prince Alsace, who was at the forefront of the assault.

This was a disaster for the Dongting light cavalry who were serving as cannon fodder on the opposite side. More than 4,000 cavalry were slaughtered almost within an hour. To the right of the Dongting people was a river about a hundred meters long, so most of them were distributed There are only 4,000 lightly armed archers and light cavalry here. Most of these archers are requisitioned by herdsmen and have basically no combat effectiveness.

Because no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for the Ruidian people to attack this place. The river is about 100 meters long and the rapid water will even sweep away the horses. Only the nerves will want to cross the river here.

But it happened that Prince Alsacs fell in love with this place. This was all caused by the dry season in June. The geographical advantage in the war helped him. Taking advantage of the extremely rare few days of dry season in June, the prince decided to first Give the Dongting people a sap and then talk about it. ..
