Realm of Power

Raindrops hit the window sill of Duke Denia's room. Duke Denia's back was straight, with a strong military aura, and he unexpectedly examined the latest report on the progress of the war in his hand. "It's been four days, and Rwanaka is still here." In the hands of the Falcon Army! "What kind of trump card is hidden on the northwest coast?" He closed the report with a complicated look and stood up, the rain outside the window was wet. His emotions, he is a monarch with a military complex,

He advocated using disciplined soldiers to build the country's constitution and achieve a high degree of unity of the monarch's will. Because of this, he knew better that five thousand troops were used to block a hundred thousand troops for four days. The information revealed in this report represents "What," how strong is the real military power of the northwest coast? Or, during the Northwest Rebellion, the guy who separated the entire alliance with less than 20,000 cavalry had already surpassed the real strength of the northwest coast. "The limitations of land"

This idea, which was infinitely close to reality, made the always aloof Duke of Denia feel a little frustrated, "My lord, the envoy from the northwest coast has arrived!" The voice of the attendant came from the door, "Please go to the hall and wait, I will be here soon!"

The Duke of Denia straightened his collar, and his face regained its former sternness. The last time he took the initiative to form an alliance was rejected by the fat man, and this time, he was also considering whether he should use the same method to feed back to the other party.

The person sent by the fat man to negotiate this time was Dorset, the governor of the Normandy region. This old and strong politician was in the hall of the Duke of Denia's palace, watching with interest the full-body armors standing on both sides of the hall. There are twelve pairs of armor, six on each side. It seems that they are well taken care of on weekdays.

Support made of precious mahogany frame. The finely ground and polished high-quality plate armor, the bright and mighty heraldic shield, completely protects the whole body, and is almost invulnerable, but it is not light in weight. I guess it will be difficult for me to wear one.

On the wall behind the armor hang cross-arranged spears, short axes, short swords, and heraldic shields. The flames of the fireplace shine on the surfaces of these cold metals, glowing with a cold yet distinctive red light. The entire space looks more like a military fortress than a living room." Just pick up the wall He can fight with his weapons, and the opponent should be a very aggressive guy with a sense of danger! "

Duozhi withdrew his gaze from the wall, mentally digesting the information obtained from the displays in the hall. Since he was here to negotiate, it was naturally best to understand the character of the target task first. At this moment, he heard rapid and heavy footsteps coming from the door, a middle-aged man with red hair wearing a black and gold military uniform. Walking in with a mighty look,

"Your Majesty the Duke!"

Choose to bend down and salute more often, before coming in front of you. He has already seen the drawing of the Duke of Denia. Although it is not exactly like it, there is no doubt about his aura. This Duke, who admires soldiers from the bottom of his heart, even walks with a burst of wind.

"Are you the Falcon's special envoy?" Duke Denia pretended to be dissatisfied and said with a bit of ridicule, "Last time you rejected my alliance, didn't you think that you would be defeated by me this time?" Reject?"

"It doesn't matter!" Duoxi responded without being humble or arrogant, "What I brought this time is just a piece of advice from our Lord to the Kingdom of Denia!"

"Advice? A joke!" Duke Denia's face was stunned for a moment, and he sneered. "I think you haven't figured it out. The people who are now besieged in Luwang Akali are not my subordinates, Vekia." If Falcon doesn’t come to the rescue, why should he come here to give me advice?”

"If Your Excellency the Duke does not want to listen, I can leave immediately. I believe that other countries will be interested in listening!" Duozhi shrugged his shoulders cunningly. He could see from the furnishings on the wall that the Duke of Denia in front of him was a very good person. For people who are easily suspicious, being too eager may backfire.

Sure enough, seeing Duozei wanting to leave so decisively, Duke Denia quickly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, or you can tell me and listen!" Anyway, I don't have anything to do now, so I just want to listen to the story to relieve my boredom! "

"Okay, just think of it as a story!" Duo Ze smiled nonchalantly, "I wonder, Your Excellency, have you ever heard of the story of a fight between two giants?"

"Two giants fighting?" The Duke of Denia felt amused. Any normal person knows that in front of a hundred thousand regular imperial troops, a small town like Rwanaca is completely unqualified to stop the Southwest Army. The Southwest Army has many powerful soldiers. Everyone, from Yate Departing from Woodsea City and heading north to the northwest, in front of the 100,000 Southwest Army, there was only one Luwangaka with only 5,000 troops. Although Luwangaka's defense was very tenacious, even too tenacious, it was still far away from the giants. This metaphor goes too far.

Duo Zai didn't take it seriously and continued, "An ordinary man sandwiched between two giants! Just like the current Denia, my northwest coast and the Algernonka family who have been peering into the northwest, there must be a big war in the end. This war The outcome of the war will determine the direction of the entire west, and for the Principality of Denia, choosing a correct winner to bet is the only way to gain benefits in this war, otherwise it will be like encountering two Two giants running against each other and colliding with each other were instantly caught up in this unexpected storm."

Duke Denia's face suddenly turned gloomy. He didn't like this metaphor and corrected him loudly, "Denia should also be a giant, not an ordinary person. Our military strength in Denia is not inferior to that of the northwest coast! You put it like this, But it’s too much!” Duke Denia snorted dissatisfiedly.

"Really?" Duozhe tilted his head and sneered, "If victory or defeat can be judged only by the number of troops, then many things in this world will be much simpler."

"What do you mean by this?" Duke Denia's face was heavy, with a murderous look on his face.

Duozhe said coldly, "Denia has no neutrality from the very beginning of this war. The Principality of Denia is located to the north of Rwanaka, the battleground, and it is on the only way for our northwest army to go south. , without a clear attitude and vacillating left and right, both the northwest coast, which has completed its troop concentration, and the Southwest Army, which defeated the Alger farmers advancing northward in Rwanaka, will regard the Principality of Denia as their primary enemy."

In that case, Denia, caught between the two major military groups, would be in a very embarrassing situation! And Rosende, who has been watching eagerly next to him, will definitely take the opportunity to launch an attack. Under attack from three sides, I don’t know how the Duke should talk about the issue of military strength! "

"That's not necessarily the case! If that's the case, I can completely make way for the Southwest Army!" Duke Denia looked grim. "In this way, we can not only avoid being attacked from three sides, but also use the strength of the Southwest Army to completely defeat Ruo Sen." De!”

"Your Excellency, are you deceiving yourself?" Duke Denia, who had known earlier, would have such a choice reply, he laughed and said, "The Southwest Army's original intention was to advance both by sea and land, but now the main force of the navy has suffered heavy losses, and the only way to provide logistics is by land. , the further north you go, the more difficult it becomes. Winter is coming and the ground is frozen. Our army only needs to maintain defense. It can stop the pace of the Southwest Army. I can guarantee that the Southwest Army, which is in logistical difficulties, will definitely attack Denia first. If the Duke is willing to be generous, it is not impossible to get out of the way. I am afraid that the Southwest Army will Denia has tasted the sweetness and lingers, the Duke is just inviting the wolf into the house and reaping the consequences! "

"You may be right, but what good will it do me, Denia, if I join your northwest coast camp?" The Duke of Denia broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, and gritted his teeth and said, "And once Rwanaka is captured, the Southwest The army will inevitably move north, and Denia will be the first to bear the brunt! Who will ensure Denia’s safety?”

"I can't guarantee this!" Duoze shook his head coldly, "And I also think that Denia is fully capable of protecting herself, so my master just asked me to bring you a piece of advice!"

"What advice?" Duke Denia asked curiously. "If the Southwest Army collapses, please do your best to guard your door. Otherwise, it will really lead to the wolf entering the house as mentioned above. I'm afraid that by then, there will be no traces on the map." There will be no more Denia! ...""You...bastard! "Duke Denia's face turned red with frustration and his eyes were bloodshot. This was the first time someone dared to talk to him like this. My Denia has an army of one hundred thousand. He wanted to say this, but he thought The other party's analysis just now, such as a hundred thousand troops, seems a bit unspeakable. Indeed, in this storm that is shaking the entire northwest, I really can't see enough! If you are not careful, you may be in catastrophe.

He grabbed Dong Ze's shoulder and wanted to ask for more specific information, "I don't know the rest, I'm just here to tell you!"

Duozhi was very principled. He patted his clothes, stood up from his seat, and saluted the Duke of Denia. "Everyone's time is very tight, so I won't disturb the Duke anymore." Duozhi doesn't want to bother him anymore. Reveal one word and walk out of the hall directly

After a while, Duke Denia came back to his senses from his trance, "The collapse of the Southwest Army? Is this possible?" Duke Denia smiled bitterly. What kind of bullshit advice is this? One hundred thousand Southwest Army How could it possibly collapse!

Are the Northwest Coast's Vecchia falcons going crazy because of the stress? , but out of careful consideration, the Duke of Denia rearranged the troops on the border and transferred 30,000 people from the capital area to fill the border.

The duo who came out of Denia turned to Roxund, another powerful country in the northwest and south. Under almost the same threat, Rodson also quickly strengthened its troops on the border.

This is the seventh day, and the stalemate war outside the city of Rwanaka continues... Algernonkaja, who is still waiting for his prey in the Rwanaka area, doesn't know yet that his road to the north has been suddenly blocked. Block it up,

Whether intentionally or unintentionally,

In this war, the northwest region truly stood on the same front for the first time, and at this moment, the balance of the goddess of victory began to slide towards the Falcon Army (to be continued...)
