Realm of Power

Murphy O'Brien's drunken eyes slowly opened, but he himself would rather never wake up. Suffering the double blow of losing his dearest brother and the collective betrayal of the Southwest Army who had given high hopes, this man who always gave people high spirits The person in charge of the Southwest District was sitting on the chair with a haggard expression at this time.

His right hand was wrapped in thick gauze, like a rice dumpling, and little bits of blood could still be seen seeping out, while his left hand trembled slightly and picked up the wine glass on the table. His fingers closed together weakly, trying to lift it up. As a result, the bronze wine glass It rolled to the ground, and the wine inside spilled onto the carpet in the tent, staining it a bright red color like human blood.

"Why! Why is this happening!" Murphy O'Brien's face turned pale. The wine glass made him feel powerless.

"Sir, what happened!" The sound attracted the guards outside, and a young officer hurried in. As a result, he saw Murphy O'Brien bending over with clattering footsteps, trying to pull away the hand with thick gauze. I picked up the wine glass on the ground, but after trying several times, I stretched out my hand and found the empty space.

"Sir, you are drunk, I will do it, and your hand is injured! It still needs training." The young officer ran over quickly.

"Is it Lux? Where have you been? Why are you here now?" Murphy O'Brien looked at the figure walking in, frowned slightly, and raised his head drunkenly and asked,

"Sir, I am Mage of the seventh team. It is my turn to be on duty tonight." Seeing that the most respected general turned into a drunkard, the young captain of the seventh team of Murphy's Dragon Armored Cavalry replied with a sad face. "Lix is Murphy O'Burn's captain of the bodyguard. Because he was worried about Murphy Lins guarding the southwest capital alone, Murphy O'Burn deliberately left his guard captain with Murphy Lins. As a result, he accompanied Mo Murphy during the Southwest Revolution. Feilings was attacked and killed together on a long street in the dark night.

"It's Mag!!"

Murphy O'Brien took a deep breath, his eyes blurred with drunkenness. Hearing the name, he was stunned for a moment. His bloodshot eyes and dilated pupils finally had a glimmer of light, and he asked, "It's really you, Mag. What are you doing here? Where's Murphy Lins? And Lux, get them all." Call them over! I have something to ask them."

"They can't come, they are all dead, my lord. You are drunk! And the doctor said that you cannot drink too much because of your current injury."

"Dead? Yes, they are all dead!" Murphy O'Brien murmured in a low voice with painful eyes, and finally a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The firelight shone on the face that was known for its calmness in the past, and his face turned blue and white. , until now, he is unwilling to believe the fact that Murphy Lins is dead,

The death of his younger brother and the change of ownership of the southwest capital. All his efforts were in vain, and he was isolated from the Southwest Army who had high hopes. He now feels like a lost dog, "Murphy O'Burn. What a waste!" Murphy O'Burn raised his head. , looking at the sky in pain,

"No, sir. You will definitely get better!" Mager comforted him with a sad face.

"So what if I get better?" Murphy O'Brien said with a wry smile. "Three fingers are missing from my right hand. Even if it's fine, it's really on the battlefield. I guess I can't even pick up the sword, so I'm no different from trash!"

"Don't be like this, sir, as long as we capture the southwest capital, we will still have a chance of improvement!" Mag turned away unbearably. No one wanted to see his idol fall and fail, even though he knew that the death of Lord Murphy Lins was very important to Mo. Feobhan's blow was huge, but the ensuing ambush was the most fatal.

Five days ago, 30,000 Murphy's dragon-armored heavy cavalry, full of revenge, turned sharply towards the southwest capital. The number of guards who were originally expected to occupy the capital was insufficient. They could rely on the powerful dragon-armored cavalry to attack the capital in one fell swoop while its foothold was not stable. , killing all the guards who killed Murphy Lins, but unexpectedly, in a valley halfway through, Murphy O'Brien suddenly encountered layers of obstacles from the guards, all of whom had come from Sona. The Praetorian Guards withdrew from the river,

When the two armies met, the sound of killing was loud. Although the Royal Guards had been weakened, they still numbered 50,000. Although the Murphy Dragon Armor Cavalry was powerful, they were at a disadvantage fighting in the valley. In the valley Full of sharp gravel, not conducive to The horses were running, and the dragon-armored cavalry could only choose to dismount and fight on foot. They were intercepted and fought to the death by the Imperial Guards who were good at foot combat. In the end, Murphy O'Brien personally led the army and defeated these dragon-armored cavalry with all their strength at the cost of three thousand dragon-armored cavalry. The Imperial Guards who blocked the way,

But he himself was also injured in the melee. Three fingers on his right hand were cut off, and the wrist on his left hand was cut open. For a general leading an army, this was definitely a fatal blow, and precious time was also lost. I was delayed for three days on the road,

Three days are enough to change a lot of things. Murphy O'Brien's opponent, Algernon Julia, relied on powerful methods and the golden sign of the Imperial Guards to coax and intimidate, in just three days, The capital of Gaul pulled out a so-called force of thirty thousand people "Capital Guards", most of these people are idle gangsters, gangsters, landless tenants, and debt sharks in the city. Under the coercion and inducement of the Praetorian Guards who control the capital, they were all sold to Algernon Julia at a high price this time. Pulled over in the name of employment,

Distribute a certain amount of crude weapons as a regional garrison, in units of a thousand, to fight in towns and villages outside the capital.

"One gold coin for each Murphy Dragon Armored Cavalry head, 10 gold coins for the lower-level officers, 100 for the middle-level officers, and 10,000 for the senior generals!" With the announcement of these exciting prices, the regional garrison and the Murphy Legion spent a lot of money. Got it

The 30,000 Murphy Dragon Armored Cavalry who had just fought exhaustedly were immediately like a flying bee crashing into a spider web. Although they were the top troops in the field, they faced the harassment of more than a dozen peripheral control points outside the capital. It seems a little powerless.

And the woman Algernon Julia was not idle either. In the capital, by integrating the defeated Imperial Guards, she quickly assembled an army of 40,000 people. With the belief of revenge, Murphy O'Brien didn't care. Moving forward recklessly, Murphy's army pushed hard to an area less than 20 miles away from the capital, and finally had to stop.

The regional garrison was like a mosquito that could not be dispersed. Soldiers under his command were often assassinated by civilians (dressed as garrison troops). They were poisoned to death when they foamed at the mouth after drinking water. In the end, people disappeared after leaving the tent to urinate. The next day, the body with its head cut off was found. There were many such things. The morale of the Murphy Dragon Armor Cavalry plummeted, and the soldiers were frightened. More than a dozen times a day, the good-tempered Murphy O'Brien finally got angry. He ordered to advance to the southwest capital at all costs. At the same time, any village that was attacked would immediately be uprooted by the cavalry group that heard the news. The reputation of Cavalry Murphy quickly declined, and even hit the bottom in just a few days.

Murphy O'Brien can no longer control so much. Now every day of delay, the opponent's strength is changing. He can only try his best to move forward.

Murphy O'Brien has always been known as a wise general. Almost never drink alcohol,

According to Murphy O'Brien himself, he doesn't drink because he doesn't like the emptiness in his head, the feeling of being unable to control his brain after being drunk. For Murphy O'Brien, he pursues control over everything. For a person, it was a very unpleasant feeling, but at this moment, Murphy O'Brien wanted to use strong alcohol to anesthetize himself. Only in this way can he feel no pain and regret. If he had been more cautious at the beginning, he would not be in such an embarrassing situation.

Lying on his back on the bed, Murphy O'Brien looked at the dark yellow tent ceiling with dull eyes, as if every small hole on it was full of incomprehensible mysteries, making him fall deeply into it. I was in a daze for two hours.

Murphy O'Brien began to listen to the reports of his subordinates with a dull expression. "How's it going over there in Bika Town?"

The subordinates who reported the report said, "The 4th and 6th Squadrons have already entered the town of Bica on the outskirts of the capital, annihilating 600 Guardsmen and 214 people from the regional garrison. The 5th Squadron Botero was attacked while attacking the outer Ander area. He was hit by a hidden arrow, and his life and death are uncertain at the moment. There is also Aksulida of the second squadron who was attacked when he was resting. Fortunately, he was only slightly injured! "

"As of today, two days into the attack, our army has suffered 700 casualties and defeated 3,000 regional garrison troops. Although I know I shouldn't interrupt, my subordinates are very worried. The other side is using these regional garrison troops to delay us. Mo Feobern waved his hand gloomily. The battle was not going well. He was only 20 miles away from the capital, but he had to stop. The candlelight in the tent was like a flickering will-o'-the-wisp, and the light looked very strange.

"Another loss of 700 people. Okay, let's send people to clean it up tomorrow, and then move on!" I don't know how long it took, but Murphy O'Brien said in a loud voice, as if he came from another world. If they hadn't heard him speak in person, his subordinates would have doubted whether the person speaking was actually Murphy O'Brien. Changed, completely changed, that wise Murphy O'Brien, that always trustworthy voice, almost completely changed.

The subordinates looked at each other and reported again unwillingly, "According to the intelligence, the capital has withdrawn 50,000 Imperial Guards from the front line. In terms of military strength, our army is at a disadvantage. The other party has deployed troops outside every building. It is obvious that they want to To be consumed peripherally, if we continue Being trapped like this, our army will lose the energy to capture the capital! "There was a sudden silence in the military tent. Everyone wanted to see Murphy O'Burn's reaction, but everyone was disappointed. Murphy O'Burn! After a long time, there was a low sound, and then there was no sound again.

"My lord is completely out of sorts!"

The generals of Murphy's Legion looked at each other with deep worry in their expressions.

In the two-hundred-year history of Murphy's Legion, there has never been such a bad time. The current coach of Murphy's Army can no longer be called a coach. This is just an Avenger who is blinded by hatred. Even if he knows that there is a wall in front of him, he will hit it without hesitation. The glorious Murphy Legion is being led into the Jedi by the blind commander, and is forced to attack with a cavalry force. I don't know what the adults think about the strong walls of the capital city, but the generals still execute the orders silently.

In the southwest capital, Algernon Julia was also nervously arranging the defense of the capital. The role of the regional garrison was only to delay. Murphy's army advanced at all costs, causing the regional garrison to collapse. She was caught off guard. It’s true that there are still fifty thousand Praetorian Guards. , but due to the plague and the failure to ambush Murphy's army halfway, the number of the 50,000 Guards who can actually fight is less than 20,000, and their morale is extremely low. In other words, he has to fight with 20,000 The incompetent Imperial Guards faced off against the vengeful Murphy Army.

Algernon Julia still remembered that when she attacked Murphy Lins, the obstruction of a hundred Murphy cavalry cost her more than 300 people. That time, if it weren't for the dark ambush, only 500 people would have infiltrated. All the elite guards in the city were dead, and they could not kill Murphy Lins. Murphy's army is worthy of being the real elite on the battlefield in the eastern part of the empire. Fortunately, it has a strong capital city wall. If it is a field battle, Murphy's dragon armor cavalry is enough to kill his troops back and forth twice.

The army in the southwestern capital is currently divided into three parts. Stanley Spencer is currently in charge of the defense of the city wall. Although this famous general in the eastern battlefield almost suffered a mental breakdown during the Battle of the Sone River, it is undeniable that the current ban in the capital is Among the guards, there are those who can stand up to Murphy O'Brien. There is only this Marquis of Stanley Spencer, and he is also the northwest commander personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor. He is the commander of the 180,000 troops marching north, and the 50,000 Guardsmen who have withdrawn are under his command.

The second part is the three thousand Praetorian Guards under Algernon Julia. They are mainly used as a supervisory team. Algernon Julia's identity is enough to issue execution orders for any escapees. Moreover, although these three thousand Praetorian Guards They are also guards, but they are genuine royal guards. Both in terms of combat power and status, they are superior to Stanley Spencer's Praetorian Guards.

The third part is the 10,000 garrison troops recruited in the city. Most of them are citizens in the city. These garrison troops are forced to recruit. The main job is to assist in the defense of the city and is responsible for transporting supplies, similar to the logistics troops in combat. The commander is named Donald. He was an adjutant of the former city guard. He had a fat head and big ears. He discovered that the imperial guards controlled the whole city. When the city guard was nowhere to be found, this Donald offered himself up and asked to assist the Guards in maintaining order and security in the city. Algernon Julia agreed to him. This Donald's ability was quite good. Because he was the city guard chief who was familiar with the situation, although the southwest capital changed hands, the fluctuations were not big.

On June 17, the seventh day after Murphy O'Brien returned angrily, the war in the southwest capital finally started. It was an early morning with a white drizzle. The guards on the capital city wall heard a burst of military force coming from the distance. The echo of the horn, first several purple-armored Murphy cavalry appeared on the distant hill, and then a group of Murphy's dragon-armored cavalry holding shields appeared behind like locusts, with battle flags filling the air, and it seemed to be grand. to the mountains in the distance,

The mountain wind blew on his face, biting the cold, but the guards on the city wall obviously couldn't feel this. Under their sight, one squadron, two squadrons... The flag of Murphy's regiment instantly filled his sight, Although he had been mentally prepared, when 20,000 Murphy's dragon armored cavalry began to advance from a distance, the horses' hooves rumbled, the ground trembled, and the spectacular scene came like a wave, which still made Stanley, who had been through battle for a long time, Spencer felt a little scared

"Raise the battle flag!"

Stanley Spencer raised his iron-protected hand high with a solemn expression, and faced Murphy's army with 20,000 weak troops. He was not confident. Murphy's dragon armored cavalry has always been known for its fearlessness and sharp attacks. Fei's armor-breaking reputation is well-known in the eastern battlefield. The Murphy cavalry below came slowly. Their similar marching line and speed put great pressure on the Imperial Guards on the city wall. Everyone held their breath.

"dismount!"

At a distance of two hundred meters, the Murphy's Dragon Armor cavalry below began to dismount, taking off their heraldic shields and weapons from their horses. Some engineers assembled long ladders for siege under the city. All the Murphy's Dragon Armor Cavalry began to dismount. It's heavy infantry, no archers,

The cherry blossoms on their heads were fluttering in the wind. No one spoke. Only the strong aura of killing filled the air. It was the first time for the Murphy Dragoons to attack the city wall in an infantry posture. Everyone's face was solemn. But this will not have any negative impact on the performance of this elite team. The feeling of ten thousand soldiers holding their breath caused a slight commotion among the imperial guards on the city wall.

"Forward!" Tens of thousands of Murphy's dragon-armored cavalry in heavy armor loomed like floating in the white mist-like raindrops. The battle line was winding and turbulent like a long snake, and the sound of footsteps trampling in the mud was heard. , as if walking in the hearts of the Praetorian Guards, the Praetorian Guards began to turn pale, the wind blew the flags, and made a hunting sound.

"Quick, pay attention, archers are ready!" A slightly nervous command came from the city wall. The order soldiers ran in the passages between the battlements, issuing commands loudly. The guards carrying quivers on their backs were divided into six groups. On the battlement, he was loading his strong bow with arrows. With a stern expression, he opened the bow and arrow in his hand and raised it at an angle of forty degrees. .

"shoot!"

As the officers violently waved their arms down, countless white lines turned into dense turbulence in the air, like a swarm of locusts rising from the horizon, and densely fell on the heads of Murphy's army below, splashing with blood. Looking from above, He Moan saw that the entire sky was completely occupied by the light that fell along with the raindrops.

"Beautiful!" There was a burst of cheers on the city wall, but soon the cheers stopped. The Imperial Guards on the city wall looked down dumbly. The entire line of Murphy's Dragon Armor cavalry below did not receive any arrow clusters at all. The impact caused arrow clusters to fall on the heavy armor. They were either bounced away or stuck in their bodies. However, the soldiers were still moving forward. There was obviously no damage at all and no words were spoken. Only the sound of the battle flags rustling in the wind and rain. ,. )
