Realm of Power

Looking at the half-exploded target slope a thousand meters away, everyone was dumbfounded. Even the brave veterans were in a daze.

"Is this the power of the Thor?" The facts before them made the Samoer Grenadiers know that they would become an unprecedentedly powerful force. Thinking of the dazzling bounty, everyone looked at the hundreds of Thors that had not yet been deployed. His eyes became as hot as fire, and an unknown heart palpitations filled everyone's hearts.

"This thing is simply the legendary divine punishment! With such a weapon, what other enemy can we fear?"

Everyone thought this way. In front of this terrifying weapon, not to mention charging, it was good to be able to maintain the formation and not flee. Thinking that such a weapon was about to be delivered to their hands, they would become a Samoan army. As the unit with the strongest attack power and the largest bounty, all the Samoer grenadiers felt bursts of excitement, especially the veteran Sack who was in charge of the test firing just now. The god of thunder at the door glowed and kept muttering in a low voice.

"Grandma, I finally came to the right place this time!"

"Everyone has seen it! This is your new weapon. Do you want your own land? Do you want the highest bounty? Do you want the infinite glory of killing a knight? Once you have trained this thing, what else is there? You can’t get it!”

Salonte stood up excitedly and lectured. The scheduled commander of the Grenadier Regiment this time is Guards Captain Salon. As the highest-level military attache in the legion headquarters, it is Salon's dream to personally command a force with powerful attack power. Fatty Handing over the Grenadier Corps to Saron itself is also a consideration of the centralized use of the Legion's Thor Cannon.

Taking advantage of the gap in grenadier training, Fatty re-adjusted the troops directly under the legion headquarters. Different from the heavy infantry configuration of the other three main battle flag regiments, most of the legion headquarters led by Fatty himself were light infantry, and there were also some There are 4,000 logistics troops, although there are 12,000 people, but the actual combat personnel are only 3,000 light cavalry and 5,000 mountain light infantry.

In order to meet the needs of the new Grenadier Regiment, the Legion Headquarters made adjustments in the division of services. From the original 3,000-person Light Cavalry Regiment, 1,000 light cavalry were assigned to the Grenadier Regiment to be responsible for the escort of the Grenadier Regiment. All 4,000 logistics teams were assigned to the Grenadier Regiment. Classified into the Grenadier Regiment, such a large number of people were mobilized, which shows that Fatty attaches great importance to the Grenadier Regiment.

Time has arrived in mid-July, and the harvest season is in full swing. More than 300,000 soldiers and farmers from the four counties of Satsuma are all engaged in harvesting wheat. The fat man also pretends to be holding a long-handled sickle in the fields. After a few swipes, I looked at the heavy wheat ears on the waist-cut wheat stalks, with a somewhat satisfied smile on my round white face.

Grains handed over from various places are gradually transported to Zivadin. You can see horse-drawn carriages loaded with wheat at any time on the business roads of the four counties of Satsuma. The warm harvest scene almost makes people forget that the kingdom is still at war.

In this season that is easy to indulge in satisfaction, the fat man received a letter from Kyoto. The cover of the letter was tattooed with the golden Saqi flower coat of arms representing the Duacli family in Kyoto. The letter told the fat man to capture Kujit alive. He greatly appreciated the matter of King Zuowei and suggested that Fatty hand over King Zuowei to the custody of the Duacli family. In exchange, the Duacli family would propose to His Majesty the King that Fatty be made the left minister of the kingdom. Fatty's hunter The Eagle family will have the honor of living in Kyoto.

"What do you mean? Are you coming down the mountain to pick peaches?" The fat man looked very depressed. The Duacli family was the mother of Dustan who was possessed by the fat man. In the fight for the inheritance of the Falcon family, they gave Dustan a lot of influence. Help, but to Du Yu, who was possessed by Dustan, this meant nothing. The fat man casually took the letter to the latrine.

Ten days later, the Duacli family in Kyoto, which had not received any reply, was finally disappointed with their poor relative in the south. In their minds, this idiot lord from the side line should be happy to exchange King Zuowei for a share. It is an honor to be able to live in the Kingdom of Kyoto, but now it seems that this idiot who relied on himself to become the Falcon Lord does not take the family seriously at all.

"Your Majesty, this year's grain harvest is only one-tenth of previous years. It is very difficult to maintain the consumption of the army guarding Kyoto. We must collect grain taxes from various lords. The existing grain in Kyoto is only enough to last for two months at most. ! "

The Kingdom's Minister of the Interior, Tuxado, looked at Guitar III on the throne carefully. Recently, the king was worried about the negotiations to hand over the land of Ruidian. Now everyone can see that the Kugits are no longer able to survive, and it will only be a matter of time before they evacuate. matter, in which case let the kingdom be delivered His Majesty the King was unwilling to give Ruidian a large county, and neither were the nobles of the kingdom who had a large number of private armies. Everyone was gearing up to prepare for a big blow when the Kugits withdrew. This is like Whoever rushes to the brand-name store with huge discounts that is about to open soon will own the land.

Nearly a year of war has made the aristocratic private army an important part of the court proceedings. The revengeful soldiers and the aristocratic private armies with weak ambitions have filled the entire court meeting with a violent and repressive atmosphere. Who are the weak civil servants? I dare not say more. These knights who worship the supremacy of force cannot defeat the Kugits. They can defeat civil servants who have no strength.

A few days ago, the left minister in charge of the treasury, Marquis Chidok, said a few words about the private army generals deducting soldiers' pay, which caused several major noble generals of the private army to break their ribs. For this kind of blatant contempt His Majesty the King just scolded him casually for his behavior, which made all the civil servants feel chilled.

In fact, King Guitar III didn't know that the military was too powerful, but he couldn't do anything about it. He was the culprit for the current situation where soldiers were rampant.

In order to supplement the serious shortage of military personnel, Guitar III relaxed the restrictions on the establishment of the Kingdom's Kyoto army. Many Kyoto nobles with strong financial resources but no territory began to form private armies. A large number of noble private armies blocked the Kugit offensive. But it also left the kingdom’s Kyoto army in a situation where it was too big to lose.

Among the 80,000 troops guarding Kyoto, the private army accounts for 40,000, which has reached one-half of the total military strength. This is a sharp double-edged sword that can block the scimitars of the Kugits. Can also break through the city wall of Kyoto Klesto

Due to the ongoing war, large areas of fields in the directly-administered territories in the central part of the kingdom are deserted. Residents have fled in large numbers. Ten rural houses are empty. Those who are left can only make a living by digging wild vegetables. This year, all the 13 counties in the central part of the country have harvested only a measly amount of food. Six hundred thousand dan, if it were only 20,000 standing troops in previous years, would be more than enough. However, now that there are 80,000 people in Guangjing and 20,000 troops stationed in other places, this amount of food seems to be too little.

At this time, the Marquis Duacry, one of the main representatives of the private army, stood up and suggested:

"Your Majesty the King, I heard that the Southern Samoa region has a rare bumper harvest this year. Instead of letting the grain rot in the barns of those southern hillbillies, it is better to use it to reward our bloody fighting army. The Southern Samoa region The calm situation in the area is entirely due to our Kyoto warriors blocking the Kugits. Otherwise, the Kugits’ scimitars would have smashed their small rural castles to pieces!”

The words of Marquis Duerric caused laughter among the nobles in the court meeting. In this era when everyone has an army, the majesty of the royal family has long become history.

"Samuel? Well, yes, I remember it seems to be the garrison of the Southern Army. It is indeed the main food-producing area in the south!" Guitar III nodded slightly, although he wished that Marquis Doueric would let the Kugits kill him tomorrow. I have lost my head, but I still have to pretend to be very appreciative and ignorant on my face.

In fact, King Guitar III was not as ignorant as the private military nobles thought. After being besieged in Kudan Castle for several months, the isolated and helpless King Guitar III realized a truth.

"Those who are arrogant will be defeated!"

Guitar III knew that Samour was now under the rule of a Marquis of Dustin. In Guitar III's mind, the heir to the Falcon family of this kingdom should have a marriage relationship with the Marquis Doueric who had bad ideas in front of him.

Since you want to fight among yourself, why don't I give you a push?

"Marquis Duerric, since you are so familiar with the situation in the south, then tomorrow you will send an envoy to the Samoa area with my documents! I will leave the rations for one hundred thousand soldiers in Kyoto to you."
