Realm of Power

Remember

The morning sun shines on the wilderness of the Black Forest earlier than usual. The white morning mist flows like water on the land full of ravines. A turbulent point gradually appears in the mist.

It was a black eagle that is most common in the black forest wilderness. Its spread wings are covered with black eagle feathers. It is not big in size, but has a strong body. Its bright eagle eyes are watching the vast land under its feet, "

"Woo" followed by a crisp eagle cry. The body of the wilderness black eagle flew through the air in the wilderness like a shelled bullet, drawing a vague black line in the sky. This kind of black eagle is a specialty of the black forest. It is an extremely ferocious bird of prey in the air. The barren and barren land makes the creatures here smaller and more flexible than in other areas.

This kind of black eagle is known as the overlord of the sky. In the past, it was a treasured tribute sent to the Salander royal family. An adult black eagle is definitely the most ferocious killer in the wilderness. They can easily kill people with their sharp claws. He is also a master at tracking prey by tearing apart the hunter's leather armor. Even in the dark, he can clearly see targets within a ten-mile radius.

"Don't touch it"

Ferrandir reined in his war horse, uncovered his luxurious helmet decorated with gold inlays, raised his head, and looked sharply at the increasingly distant dots in the sky.

He stretched out his hand to hold down a sharpshooter behind him who was taking aim, raised the powerful compound bow, and said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "I just want it to see our number and route clearly, and it will bring this information back. In this way, Only that bitch Su Kebailing will know what a war with disparity in power she has to face."

"The son of Salander is the son of Salander. The blood of the Phelan family is indeed very courageous."

Next to him, a strong man with a tough face, wearing an exquisite armor, and a body as strong as an iron tower said, "Although the Black Forest Chasseurs of the Suks are powerful, they only have 3,000 in number, and Bernic's 5,000." The Tiger Mamunuk light cavalry are good enough to deal with them. We only need to advance towards their camp unswervingly and use an invincible advance to destroy the base camp of these sinners."

"Haha, Master Hanigan is really joking. With the strength of our four coalition forces, to deal with a small Su Ke tribe, do we still need to assume a battle posture?"

Ferrandir looked at the army marching by and said with a smile, his face full of contempt. Next to the two of them, there was an army of 20,000 people marching from Risalan City. Just like a huge dragon advancing towards the hinterland of the wilderness, with spears like a forest and military power at its peak,

"If we want to fight, the Suk tribe's military strength is not enough." What he said also made the strong man opposite laugh in the same way.

The morning breeze blew, and the golden sunshine shone on the soldiers of the army. Seeing such a majestic army in the middle of nowhere, it was no wonder that the two of them had some earth in their hands. I have the most pride in the world

Walking at the front were Salander spearmen with simple spears in their hands. They wore large robes that almost covered their whole bodies, with only the eyes exposed. Their chests were embroidered with the symbol of the Sky Cult, which showed the sun and moon shining brightly. About ten thousand people,

The spears in the hands of these soldiers composed of believers can be said to be very simple. They are just wrapped with an iron spike at the front end. They look a bit scattered, but at least they are better because they have more people and they are not afraid of death.

The Sky Cult is a branch that split from the Sky Temple after the Normans ruled the south. The founder of the Sky Cult is the strong man in front of him who looks like an iron tower, Hanigan. He was once the high priest of the Southern Temple. A slave priest, mainly responsible for the maintenance of some dilapidated temples

But because he was too disappointed with the temple's performance in the war with the Normans. So he claimed that when he was cleaning a temple, he was inspired by the prophet Fran, the high priest of the sky, and founded the Sky Cult.

The tenets of the Sky Religion are contrary to the peaceful and inclusive purpose of the Sky Temple, and are a typical religious heresy. Hanigan declared that the Sky Religion is the only religion that the Salanders should believe in, and that all religions other than the Sky Religion are false religions. should be eradicated violently,

This kind of speech is very popular among southerners who are disappointed with the temple. There are many people like him who have gone from believing in the temple to hating the temple. It is especially popular among people in the south who have been bullied.

The Sky Sect has approximately 50,000 members. This time, nearly 10,000 members were sent out. He volunteered to open the way, not only to gain enough profits from plundering the food of the Su Ke people, but also to provide support to other people. The forces showed their strength. If they were attacked, the spear array composed of these pikemen would entangle the incoming cavalry.

Following the cultists were the slow-moving heavy troops in the middle. 2,000 heavily armored Mamunuk knights formed the backbone of the formation and 5,000 Salander heavy infantry. These were Ferran. Tire's most proud asset is that most of these Mamunuk knights are southerners. They have experienced the humiliation of defeat and the fate of national subjugation.

They fought hard, but were eventually betrayed by the kingdom. They were once the first Mamunuk Knights of Salander, known as the heroic legion in the Salander army.

During the war with the Normans, the 5,000-strong First Mamunuk Knights were responsible for breaking up the rear. However, they were defeated by the Falcon Cavalry of Avize and were besieged in the city of Yuans for a full 2 ​​months. Finally, due to lack of food, the Normans broke into the city.

There are legends that they were all killed in the battle, and some said that they were still alive, but were captured by the Normans. Ferrandier was a middle-level officer in this army at the beginning, and there was only one person who knew what happened to this army. He knew best that he was neither dead nor captured. The remaining 2,000 people fled to the central part of the country through a secret passage discovered accidentally, becoming the most shameful deserters.

Because of this, he knew that once these Mamunuk knights put on armor again, once they have the opportunity to hold the sword in their hands again, they will become a sharp sword that cuts everything open, as if they were reborn with desire.

The defense of Mamunuk knights is worse than that of regular knights, but they can completely defeat light cavalry. The weapons in their hands are various, including heavy flails that are good for breaking armor, and heavy swords used by traditional knights.

They walked in the middle of the queue, with serious and cold expressions. Their eyes swept across the yellow ravine land in front of them from time to time. The red tassels on their helmets swayed with the leaping horses.

The armor hit the vest, making a swishing sound. There was a dazzling scarlet color in the white morning mist, and the heavy horse's hooves rose and fell. The ground was trampled until it was filled with mud,

Ferrandir believed that with these 2,000 orthodox Mamunuk knights and 5,000 well-equipped heavy infantry, the miscellaneous hunting cavalry in the Black Forest who relied on speed to fight would only become a joke in front of this iron wall. .

According to the plan, this time the four coalition forces set off from two directions towards the Suk camp in the Black Forest. To the east were Ferrandir's 20,000 Risalan army and the 5,000 followers of the Sky Cult. Their goals It was a direct attack on the base camp of the Suks, uprooting the Suks' power in one fell swoop. Therefore, the troops were mainly infantry who were good at advancing operations.

In charge of the south are the other two factions, Bernic's 5,000 tiger Mamunuk knights and Ssafi's 11,000 assault spearmen. Both of these men were once well-known leaders among the southern nobility, among whom Bernik was once known as "the most heroic Mamunuk"

"Woo!" In the vast wilderness, a loud and rapid horn sound came from a protruding slope in front.

"All troops stop." Bernik heard the horn blowing by the forward scouts in front, which represented contact with the enemy's cavalry. He raised his hands to the cavalry formation behind him. The sound of horse hooves suddenly disappeared, and the entire cavalry formation stopped their horses one after another.

Bernick waved his hand to a cavalry officer behind him and ordered: "Bukans. Take a squadron and take a look."

"Yes, sir." The cavalry officer next to him with two red tassels on his head nodded in response and galloped out of the queue on horseback. Horse hooves stir up smoke and dust on the ground,

The young officer shouted, "Come to me from the Fifth Squadron." A group of about a hundred Mamunuk cavalry rushed out of the queue, followed closely behind the young officer, and rushed in the direction of the horn sound.

"It's a cavalry team from the Suks. It has been driven away by forward scouts." Soon, the officer who went to investigate came back and reported to him.

"Are there any casualties?" Bernier asked

"The other party slipped away very quickly. One of our cavalrymen was shot in the shoulder while chasing. He has already pulled out the arrow cluster and checked it. There is no poison on it," the young officer responded.

"Really, this is really lucky." When he heard that there was no poison on the arrow clusters, Bernik's heavy face relaxed slightly, and he said to himself, "Why did the hunting cavalry appear here? It's still far away from the Suc camp." It's more than a hundred miles away. Have you discovered our intention?"

Bernik frowned, his eyebrows were like swords and his eyes were as bright as stars. The sideburns that are full of mature male charm are vaguely dotted with white hair, and the weather-beaten and erect body. Although he is over fifty years old, he still looks as dazzling as a sharp sword.

He was once the chief instructor of Salander Mamunuk. His record of winning the Mamunuk competition five times in a row when he was young has not been surpassed by anyone to this day. He commanded the horse team known as the Tigers of the South. The Knights of Munuk, in the war with the Normans, were defeated by the falcon cavalry of Avize because of their flank collapse.

Bernic and more than 5,000 of his men were also captured due to defeat. One month ago, he found that the guards in Normandy were becoming increasingly weak. He looked for an opportunity to kill the 500 Normans in charge of the guards, and fled to Zsaland with his original men. , relying on his former prestige, he quickly attracted many Mamunuks and rebuilt the Tiger Mamunuk Knights.

His rich war experience told him that it was a bit unusual to find the opponent's hunting cavalry in this place. Because it was a cavalry unit, it advanced the fastest and chose the most desolate area to enter.

The main force of the infantry was actively exposed to attract the attention of the Suk cavalry, and then Bernic's tiger Mamunuk knights launched a surprise attack from behind. In this way, no matter how hard the Suk hunter cavalry fought, it would be difficult to escape and be attacked from both sides. As a result, the army was annihilated, and an ominous omission appeared in the perfect plan.

"My subordinates think it should be just a routine patrol," the young cavalry officer said hesitantly. "This team of cavalry does not seem to have any intention of fighting. It just retreated as soon as it made contact. The hunter cavalry of the Suks have always been known for their speed and use." They are famous for their poisonous arrow clusters. This time they did not use poisonous arrows, which just shows that they did not expect to encounter us, so they did not follow the wartime equipment. If it was just a routine patrol, it would be normal."

"Now we can only hope that this is the case, otherwise, we will prepare for a fierce battle." Bernik said with a wry smile, "Although the Suks have a small number of troops, they are elites who have experienced wars and are good at guerrilla tactics and Use poisonous arrows that seal the throat with blood, especially the hunting cavalry of the Suk tribe. It is the sharpest assault cavalry among the Salander light cavalry. It is powerful in combat and can shoot poisonous arrows like the wind. It can escape immediately without hitting a hit. It is extremely difficult to deal with. Even the Goshawk was known as the undefeated one among the Normans. Avi also felt extremely headache, so the Normans finally gave up their plan to conquer the Black Forest.

"Woo"

A burst of urgent trombone sound came through the mist in front again, but this time it was a little different from the previous one. It was more like a scream of being cornered, mixed with the howling morning wind blowing through the wilderness. middle. a whimpering sound

"There's something going on ahead." The expressions of Bernik and the officer next to him changed at the same time. The two long and one short horn sounds will only be used in the most urgent situations.

"Everyone, follow me," Bernik raised his hands and shouted loudly, his horses thundering like thunder. Before he could reach the hillside where the horn sounded, a harsh whistling sound came from the air above his head.

Bernik's face turned pale, and he raised his head high, only to be illuminated by the morning light that had just risen above his head. Countless shining objects shone down like stars in the sky. Thinking that these might be the poisonous arrows used by the Suk hunter cavalry to seal their throats with blood, Bernik felt a chill coming out of his back.

"Everyone put up their shields and pay attention to their heads."

Bernice shouted with all his strength. With his right hand, he skillfully raised the duck-shaped cavalry shield to block his body. In an instant, countless rapid arrow clusters fell like a rainstorm. The impact of the shield made a clanging sound. Suddenly, a group of people fell on their backs. The knight's shield protected the body of the knight on the horse. , but could not protect the war horses under their crotches. Countless war horses fell down with mournful neighing sounds after being hit by arrows.

"Despicable guy" Bernice put down the shield in his hand, gritted his teeth and looked at the arrow tail stuck on the shield that was still shaking, and looked at the surrounding terrain with an annoyed look. I couldn't help but take a deep breath of air-conditioning,

This is a road running towards the hillside. The surrounding fog makes the visibility low, so it is impossible to determine the direction of the arrows. Although many people have put up their shields, there are still hundreds of Mamunuk knights. Hit by an arrow. The horse that lost its owner was spinning in circles, and the other Mamunuk knights didn't know which direction to pursue.

"To the east, the enemy is to the east"

The adjutant's shout came from next to him. Following the direction of his finger, Bernis saw a group of about a thousand Suc hunting cavalry who had just put down their bows and were about to make a cunning choice to escape.

"Despicable guys, kill them all." Bernis pointed at the fleeing attackers. Thousands of Mamunuk knights behind him stepped up their horses and followed them like a landslide. Their eyes were fixed on the fleeing attackers. Chasseurs, with the sound of the morning wind blowing in their ears, thinking of the comrade who died tragically just now, the eyes of the Mamunuk knight were full of bloodshot eyes,

"Sir, I think there is something wrong," the adjutant approached Bernice while riding and said loudly, "these chasseurs' bows are not held in the right position, and the bows in their hands are obviously not the light bows used by the assault cavalry like the chasseurs. I wonder why it looks a bit like the powerful compound bow of the legendary Falcon Army."

"Powerful compound bow?"

Bernice's face changed slightly. He is a senior Mamunuk. Of course he knows the difference between the powerful compound bow and the light assault bow of the Chasseur, not only in terms of range, but also in terms of power. It is no wonder that a round of arrows just happened. The rain caused so many of the Mamunuk knights under his command to fall. If it were just the light bow of the Chasseur Cavalry, it would not be able to penetrate even the Mamunuk armor at any distance."

"No wonder I always feel something is wrong." Bernice woke up and shouted quickly, "Stop the pursuit. Stop the pursuit." However, because the formation was too big, the Mamunuks who charged with all their strength only arrived ten minutes later. Finally stopped,

Looking at the tops of the surrounding hills, there was a strange light slowly emerging from the white mist in the morning light. No matter how stupid Bernice was, he knew what was going on.

"Fooled"

Bernice's eyes were dull, and his face was pale as he looked around at a black line emerging from the mist.

Although he is a fierce general, he is not the kind of person who thinks carefully. When the Normans and Salander's army fought, the first thing they did to break through the defense line was to tear open the entire defense line from him, and This time, he unfortunately got tricked again

"There are so many enemies.

"We are surrounded. Who are these people?"

The Mamunuk knights looked at each other, looking around in confusion and fear. They were riding on horses, and they were forced to move closer to the middle.

Groups of black cavalry were like demons appearing in the fog. They were so dark that they seemed to emerge from the ground. The earth trembled slightly under this power, and flags fluttering in the wind continued to emerge one after another.

"This first Mamunuk warrior is really not easy to catch."

On the top of a hill not far away, the fat man was riding on a horse, squinting at the five thousand Mamunuk knights who were surrounded below. (To be continued.
