Realm of Power

In mid-June, after nearly a month of hard work, on the northern line of the grassland, the main force of the Dongting Cavalry, which was originally advancing towards the border, suddenly turned and aimed directly at the Seven Alliances on the border. The main force of the Dongting Cavalry, which had superior strength, suddenly attacked Under this situation, the weak seven-tribe alliance had no choice but to abandon its original pastures and territories and retreat in the direction of the Northlanders. Nearly ten thousand people died fighting and freezing to death along the way. Other tribes whose original attitude was unknown were either fleeing or fleeing in fear. drop,

The fat man rewarded according to his merits, divided the grassland on the border into seventeen sections, and rewarded seventeen tribes respectively for their contribution in the war, and left 20,000 people to build a city "Zhwala" library. Gith means northern sun,

Along the central line of Dongting Grassland, between the three northern counties and Motu, more than 10,000 border herders moved in succession, built 38 bazaars for trade, and opened up a safe road for traffic. Since then, all opposition forces on Dongting Grassland have been cleared away. The northern border of Dongting Grassland, which has always been a hidden danger, has finally been firmly controlled by the Falcon Dynasty.

In Palaven in July, the climate is quite cool, and the autumn wind blows through the still green fields, bringing the smell of autumn harvest. With the Falcon Dynasty's economic stimulus policy and the investment of a lot of money,

More than one million people migrated from the Palawan Plain in the center of Ruidian, and nearly 300,000 Kugits migrated from the western grasslands, plus the Dongting people who migrated south to close to Beisan County, just like the three A huge river came together. Within a few months, this land that was once littered with corpses became a scene of crowded people and busy traffic.

Palavon, which did not suffer too much damage during the war, has gradually become the center of economic, political, and cultural intersection in the central region. It complements the three northern counties of Zhivadin, the economic center of the south, and the economic center of the north.

At a beautiful lakeside outside Palavon City, the thin autumn wind passes by on the lake, creating layers of ripples. The green lake water floats gently in the ripples of the breeze, completely absorbing the blue sky and white clouds. to one’s own broad mind

This is a large villa near the lakeside. The marble white building is built among the green mountains and green waters just like the scenery in the painting. This was once the residence of the Palavon noble family, the Ramfas family. Because they escaped from the war, they only had one house. It was sold for 10,000 gold coins at a low price, and is now a restricted area where the Falcon North County military headquarters is stationed.

Soldiers have been placed on guard around the two or three miles around the lake to strictly prohibit unrelated people from approaching. Of course, most people don't know that this beautiful and picturesque place is actually the base camp of the famous Falcon Northern Army. But today , starting from the regiment commander Salon, all the senior officers of the Northern Army and above the flag regiment commander were standing in front of the villa waiting with serious faces.

There was not even a whisper in the oppressive air. It was so quiet that you could clearly hear the sound of the wind blowing in the mountains. There were three times more alerts today than in the past. The number of patrols and the number of people standing guard had reached To the extent that people are bound to be seen within five meters, even a mosquito will be stared at by countless pairs of eyes.

Soon, a group of tough cavalry wearing black armor escorting a carriage appeared in their field of vision. Salon, the commander of the Northern Army, who had always been casual about his clothes, was also dressed neatly at this time. When he saw the carriage stop with a creak, The officers all around straightened their bodies and stood there, a breath of iron-blooded warriors blowing into their faces.

Salon straightened his collar, then stepped forward to open the door of the carriage, and said with an apologetic expression, "Your Majesty, you have come a long way, I am really sorry for you."

"Okay, I don't want to be polite like this every time." The fat man came down from above and glanced at Salon. This powerful minister subconsciously stopped talking.

"What are the recent developments of the Nords?" The fat man took off his cloak and handed it to Salon, and asked in a low voice, walking up the marble villa steps first.

Salon quickly followed with a respectful look, and then more than ten flag captains gathered behind him,

Salon followed the fat man and reported as he walked, "According to the latest news, since the Nord army suffered a disastrous defeat in southern Wikiia, the domestic military strength has been severely reduced. In addition, the southern coast has been lost, resulting in fishermen being unable to go fishing. The domestic food crisis is getting worse. It was so tense that there were only about 80,000 troops stationed on the border, which was a decrease of one-third from the 120,000 troops at its peak.

However, in the past few months, the strength of our large army deployed on the border has increased from the original 60,000 to 80,000, basically reaching the level of the opponent.

I believe this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our army to take the initiative to attack Nord. However, because His Majesty was still in the distant northern grasslands at that time, I did not dare to act without authorization, so I can only wait for Your Majesty to come back and make a decision."

"Really? What are you thinking about?" The fat man looked slightly stunned and paused. The four soldiers standing at the door of the hall quickly opened the door at the end of the corridor.

With a heavy creaking sound, a spacious military conference hall was revealed, with a ten-meter long lacquered table, and a huge map hanging on the front wall.

"This is what my subordinates think." Salu walked into the hall, stood in front of the map, pointed to a point in the middle, and said excitedly, "Everyone knows that the center of the Nords' northern defense line is a prime location for heavy defense. As long as our army seizes the opportunity to defeat Fort Herburg, a huge gap will appear on the entire Nordic northern line. At that time, the army can move south in one fell swoop and approach the Nordic Kyoto area. Even if they cannot defeat it, they can still repay the promise. The Germans attacked me with a single blow in the southern part of Wikiia"

"You want to attack Fort Tichberg?" The fat man frowned and stared at the place pointed by Salon, and said, "As far as I know, the permanent force there is between 20,000 people, and it is 5 miles away. There are also 10,000 troops stationed in the Nordic city of Tihebo. In other words, you only have one chance to launch a surprise attack. How sure are you that you can take it down in one go against 30,000 defenders? "

Judging from the map, Fort Tichberg, which controls the mountains, is indeed the most critical node of the Nords' northern defense line. It has the highest terrain and is also the area with the strongest defense. But precisely because it is the strongest defense, Fatty also I believe that under the current circumstances, if a raid is launched, the probability of success is very high.

Salon replied solemnly, "In fact, after I discovered that the Nord army was insufficient in number, I immediately sent a large number of spies. There is definite information that there are only 14,000 troops currently stationed in Tichberg Castle. Thousands of people, and the 10,000 city garrison they relied on as backup had already headed to the Susuo area half a month ago. It is said that there was some unrest there.

"Unrest?" The fat man looked at Salon in confusion. He had been in the northern grasslands some time ago, so he didn't know much about Nord's internal affairs. If there hadn't been some major event such as a war, the intelligence department would not have sent Green Eagle. Cherish resources like that,

Generally speaking, they are homing pigeons, but homing pigeons are useful in other places. However, on the prairie where there are many raptors in the sky, it is often difficult to fly to the destination without being intercepted by the raptors. Therefore, many messages must pass through and wait. It usually takes a few days for the news to reach Fatty.

"I heard that Governor Salton of Soro was dismissed by Nord for treason." Salon also said with a subtle smile on his face, "I don't know what this guy known as the disabled lion said at the court meeting. , which aroused the anger of King Nord. When he was dismissed from his position as governor of Susuo, and when he heard that this guy was escorted away by the palace guards, he was still shouting about 40,000, 40,000 lives, which is really true. It’s sad that such a famous general ended up like this.”

"There is such a thing." The fat man couldn't laugh when he heard it. This matter must be related to Salton's ransom of tens of thousands of prisoners of war from him. I didn't expect that the King of Nord would avoid that fiasco so much that he would rather remove his cronies. Salton was unwilling to face this matter head-on.

"Soldiers of 40,000 outstanding warriors are not as valuable as one's own face." The fat man couldn't help but feel a sad emotion in his heart. It seemed that Yagrolk was really old. He was such a hero at the time, but now he has fallen to such a low level that he dare not Faced with the reality of the situation, several powerful kings in the Ikadiva continent seemed to have a bad ending.

King Vekia was burned to death in his palace by the Stian rebels, King Redian suffered a stroke and died of paralysis, the Khans of the East and West Kugits all died in battle, and the Sultan of Salander was killed by his own son. In the dormitory, it seems that everyone has a happy death, but what about me? What will be the outcome of this little butterfly who stirred up the turmoil in the mainland?

Seeing the fat man's dazed look, Salon thought there was a loophole in his strategy, and quickly said cautiously, "Your Majesty, with sufficient preparations, as long as all the armies on the border are mobilized to contain the other Nord border guards, I can achieve a 4:1 troop advantage at a certain node."

"The armies on the border? You mean the armies of Varisien and Crolissart?" The fat man was stunned for a moment, and then asked Salon with a serious face. "If I give you full power to command, how can you attack Titus?" How sure is Herbergburg?”

"I'm 51% sure." Salon gritted his teeth and said bravely. He thought the fat man would scold him and fight 51% of the battles, but that would only be better than half the battle. The probability of victory is half that of failure. It is simply an irresponsible gamble to invest the fate of a hundred thousand troops for that trivial point.

Unexpectedly, the fat man turned his head indifferently and asked curiously, "Why is it 51%, not 50%? Where did that come from?"

"My subordinates spent a lot of money to bribe a Nord officer. Although he is only a squadron leader, he is the person in charge of guarding the gate of Fort Tichberg." Salon explained hesitantly. "With his assistance, as long as he opens the Our army will march straight into the gate of Fort Herberger."

"Is it reliable?" The fat man's face flickered, as if he was thinking.

"Absolutely reliable." Salon smiled and said, "That guy is a gambler. He lost his wife and son for gambling. His subordinates sent someone to redeem his wife and son, and he also promised to give He received a reward of 10,000 gold coins, and now that guy has no way out because his wife and son are also in our hands."

"Okay, for your 100 percent change, I decided to bet." The fat man placed his sharp eyes on the map and said decisively.
