Realm of Power

Aleska, a coastal city in the Principality of Ptau

This is a small coastal town with beautiful scenery, blue sky, white floating clouds, and water lines that rise and fall like pearls with the waves. Count Remshat, who set up this place as the "Separation" campaign headquarters, is now... He looked at the report he had just received in his hands with great surprise. The sunlight outside shone through the glass, dragging out long black shadows in the room.

"Hell, how is that possible! Is this guy crazy!"

Count Remshat angrily threw the report in his hand on the table. The surprise on his face was like that of a polite nobleman who was suddenly slapped hard by a rude country farmer on the road, who was also very arrogant. raised a middle finger, he secretly teased He gathered an army of 40,000 and gave up the coastline defense policy. He had no choice anyway, so it was better to let him in first. As long as the opponent's army landed, with military power several times that of the enemy, he was confident that he had a hundred ways to defeat the opponent in a dignified manner. All the troops were pushed into the sea,

Of course, if the other party chooses to continue hiding in the first island chain and wait and see what happens, the large-scale civil strife spreading in Putao, the affected people's desire for the protection of their lives and property, will completely make the last Duke lose Putao. If that were the case, there would be no need for the so-called alternative plan. Gang Fei could directly send troops to quell the chaos.

The report said that the Duke of Ptau's army took the initiative and landed in the Lisbonto area, an abandoned city.

The two Congo squadrons that were stranded in the city of Lisbon and were responsible for cleaning up were successfully raided by tens of thousands of ducal troops who came on the waves like divine soldiers from heaven. They were defeated first in the battle. There was no other way. These two Congo squadrons were just logistics. The army is basically a military force with security and miscellaneous soldiers.

I have never participated in a war, let alone seen countless ferocious and huge warships. Like hungry wolves suddenly appeared on the sea in Lisbon, the swollen white sails of the battleships obscured the ocean. Just a violent salvo of thunder and roaring shells made these fishy people who were still trying to organize resistance know how stupid they were. Suddenly, the two squadron captains who were standing in front of the queue to encourage their courage collapsed on the spot when the overwhelming explosion occurred. The officers were running, and the soldiers were running even more. They were defeated like a mountain. The remaining troops of more than 2,000 people had not waited for the troop transport fleet to dock.

The entire Congolese army disappeared without a trace. The ground was littered with discarded weapons, and there were a few lonely Congolese military flags, trembling in front of a group of ferocious animals led by the Duke of Putao!

"Lisbonto, I'm back!"

The first thing the Duke of Putau did when he jumped off the deck of the battleship was to sing the national anthem of the Principality of Putau in a low voice even in the face of the bursting sea breeze. He looked at Lisbonto, which was almost in ruins, with deep affection. This was the hometown where he grew up, and this was his principality, even if it was completely unrecognizable. The Duke's tears could not be suppressed and flew in the wind,

"Even if my country turns into hell, I will still fight for it!" The conversation with His Majesty Falcon flashed through Duke Putao's mind.

After being forced to leave their hometown. After living half-imprisoned and half-surveilled for six years, experiencing betrayal and glory, the Duke's fate has been bumpy and tragic. This time, almost no soldiers were lost. I was very lucky and returned home happily!

"This is all a gift from His Majesty the Falcon Emperor," the elderly Puntao I wrote in his memoirs. "Before this, I had never even dreamed of such extravagant hopes! And I didn't know at the time that a piece of The real storm has just begun! From this moment on, I decide to fight bravely! For me and for the country!"

"This idiot is looking for death!"

Twisting the embarrassing report into a ball and holding it tightly in his hand, Remshat snorted in annoyance. His eyes looked at the white ocean line outside the window, and a ray of setting sun shone from the ridge. Shining on the sea, such a beautiful scenery seemed like a mockery in his eyes. The puppet he had controlled for six years suddenly turned into an uncontrollable kite with broken strings. How could he, who thought he had complete control, turn into a kite with broken strings that he could not control? The person in charge of the overall situation of Pu Tao can be willing to

But Duke Putau's landing in Lisbonto also caused his evaluation of this military idiot Duke to fall below the bottom line again. He could not think of landing in such a worthless area like Lisbonto! It takes an idiot to cultivate this kind of tactical training! Was the head of this guy who just escaped surveillance squeezed by the door? Still got kicked by a donkey! The long coastline, countless gaps that can be torn open, and the riot traps that he has painstakingly laid out. Why did this idiot run into the most unlikely place? This is simply contempt for the wisdom of this clerk!

In a place like Lisbon, in just three days, his 40,000 troops would be enough to defeat this heartless guy.

"Come here, order the troops to assemble." Remshat turned around from the window and gave the order with a cold face. According to the 40,000 troops under his command, there was no need to think too much. He wanted to crush them openly and with force. Massive crowds once again flooded Lisbon's weak walls

No need to think about it, this is a naked massacre! Remshat suddenly thought of something, and a chilling sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The crumpled report was thrown into the trash can without hesitation. He didn't need a prisoner! There is no need to survive. All the people, together with the idiot Duke, can just erect a whole row of crosses along the long coastline of Puntau, from Lisbonto to Alesca. It must be an excellent scenery. This Idiots who don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is He should all be crucified on the cross, let the cold sea breeze dry his skin, let the birds flying in the air peck out his eyeballs, and let all the Putao people know that the consequences of fighting against Gang Fei are just right, just use This massacre brought an end to the turmoil in Putau!

"Poof!" The Duke of Putao, who was far away in Lisbonto, shuddered inexplicably. Behind him, rows of warships docked at the port of Lisbonto. Soldiers coming and going were carrying supplies from above, huge ships pulled by steel ropes. rollers, from tall battleships A defensive trebuchet disassembled from a large battleship was hoisted on the deck, and bundles of arrows were thrown in piles from the deck onto the carriage below. The large arrow carriage looked like a hornet's nest. A heavy ballista full of violence and killing,

These large-scale equipment that had never been seen before shocked a countryman like the Duke of Putao, who had a small family background.

Especially when a heavy Linex Dragon-class main gun was slowly shot down from the side of the towering battleship by three warships, Duke Putau's face turned red and purple.

He still vividly remembered the scene when the dragon-class battleship bombarded Huacheng. The other thunder gods were in the gun bunker. Although the salvo was spectacular, he had no chance to see it. The flax butterfly main gun located at the bow of the ship was so shocking that it made people cry. The furious launch almost caused the Duke, who had never seen such a violent bombardment, to fall down on the deck.

The turbulent wind caused by the super main gun still makes Duke Putao feel tangled in his heart. If the fleet of his principality had such a weapon, Gang Fei would not call him uncle!

"Cousin. Do you really think you can withstand the 40,000-strong Congolese army like this?"

King Raphael, who had full ostrich attributes, looked like a little daughter-in-law who had just been abused. He looked at Duke Putao who was excitedly directing the moving of supplies with a look of resentment. The shipbuilding genius who had studied for three years was not a military idiot like the Duke of Putao. On the contrary, this ostrich was excellent at assessing the situation. Huacheng was beaten and immediately pretended that he was actually a "patriot". The situation in front of him was so obvious.

A half-baby army of 14,000 people. Compared with the combat power of 40,000 irregular troops armed to the teeth,

Just like the contrast between a strong man whose arms are thicker than an average person's thighs and an underdeveloped bean sprout boy, it's a genius arrangement. No matter how experienced the commander is, facing such a huge disparity in troop strength ratio, this is the only thing he can think of. Just one, dead!

"We have reinforcements and supplies, we have a fleet at sea, and we have a complete city wall that has not been damaged! So, what else do we have to be afraid of! All we have to do is defeat them, defeat them openly!" Duke Tao said with an excited expression and waved his hands.

The optimistic King Raphael, who looked sad, had no doubt that this guy must have been brainwashed by the Falcon Empire!

You idiot! Even if you want to die, don't hold me back! Prince Raphael cursed in his heart

"I hope to be able to sit on the Huacheng Island Chain, which will help us defend our backyard and ensure the supply of supplies..." Ostrich King Raphael licked his face and made up his mind not to fight this war. He was very I sincerely suggested to my cousin, and I said a lot of words, which meant, let me go to the rear. The layout was too psychologically challenging. The ferocity of the Gangfei people was well known to everyone. Once the war started, he had no doubt that the Gangfei people, who were extremely irritated, gave the first order to break through the city wall without any hesitation. Kill every Puntu soldier who is standing in the city, and even a living hen will be dragged out to fry the chicken steak.

"We have no way to retreat! For the last glimmer of hope for the principality, we can only live or die!" Facing the whistling sea breeze, Duke Putao reached out with a very solemn expression and patted his cousin's trembling shoulder. The gaze is like a knife, deep and powerful!

"The island chain is still in our hands. We have no way out!" Raphael murmured in a low voice, reminding him very reluctantly.

"Raphael, do you still remember the time you were arrested when you were a child?" Duke Putau blinked, stared at him, and suddenly said, he knew this cousin too well. As long as he saw that the wind was in the wrong direction, he would betray his teammates. Ostrich, the first thing to do is to jump out immediately and draw a clear line with yourself, just like you did before Like that, he left himself to hold on to the capital alone and hid in the territory. When he saw the Gangfei people winning, he immediately lowered his face and acted like a pug, greeting his new master. It is impossible for a person to make a mistake in one thing. After making the same low-level mistake twice, this ostrich who betrayed his teammates should become a suicide captain!

"The time I was arrested..." King Raphael was stunned when he heard this. Too many times to count!

"The time when I peeked at my father's mistress, Miss Lasdiego, in the shower, and the captain of the guard Rasdu personally arranged for her arrest."

Duke Putao sneered, with a deep chill on his lips, and said slowly, "Uncle Stuart caught me. I didn't admit it. I was beaten until my skin was torn. I was locked up in a dark room for a day, but you didn't even get a whip." He didn’t suffer, but he was so scared when he saw my miserable state that he said everything. Do you know how miserable I was that time?”

Prince Raphael's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he said carefully, "That. It won't be worse than being whipped..."

"Being whipped! Compared with being whipped, life is worse than death! It's because of you that my father replaced my three beautiful maids who slept with me with 40-year-old aunts." The Duke of Putao was angry and gritted his teeth. , I wish I could drown this guy with my saliva

"Having been occupied by several 40-year-old aunts for a whole year, do you know what that means to a fourteen-year-old boy with highly inflated hormones! Life is worse than death...!" Duke Putao's hand Shaking. Tears were streaming down his face, and he kept repeating the words "life is worse than death" in his mouth. A pair of bulging eyes flashed coldly outwards. The shadow of his childhood was too serious, like a wounded lion roaring, and drool was pouring out. On the face of the pale-faced King Raphael opposite, several tall and thick guards gathered around him at the right time, with their fingers on the weapons on his waist.

Raphael's face turned pale with fright, and he had no doubt that his cousin had the urge to kill this rebellious boy like him immediately. The short-spirited Ostrich immediately bent down, put his hand on his chest respectfully, and said, "I am willing to follow my lord and fight to the death! Please my lord accept my loyalty!"

"Is this enlightenment? Okay, I accept it." Duke Putao withdrew his angry face, as if nothing could happen, and calmly used an almost harsh aristocratic demeanor to bow out of the bent Raphael County. The king took out a white handkerchief from his chest, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and then solemnly stuffed it into the outer pocket of King Raphael's coat.

"I'm very happy. You can have such an awareness! Your loyalty will become the glory of Putao!" Duke Putao said very rigidly. This is a ceremony for the monarch of Putao to reward his loyal ministers. What a harmonious picture. ah. What an example of the unity of the monarch and his ministers!

In the distance, a huge transport ship slowly docked. As the baffle was lowered, a middle-aged man wearing a black Falcon Emperor uniform walked down from it. He looked at the chaotic port and frowned slightly, "No wonder His Majesty Falcon ordered himself to come, with such a chaotic arrangement. If you want to complete a solid defense line against the 40,000 Gangfei army in three days, it is simply... The rhythm of seeking death!"

"His Excellency Governor Lidacus! I have heard of you for a long time."

The Duke of Putao came over from a short distance with the miserable-looking Prince Raphael, grinning from the corner of his mouth to the back of his ears.

Staying in the Falcon Empire for half a month was not in vain.

In the attic where the flow of information is the strongest, at least Duke Putao, besides being romantic, was still curious and seriously inquired about the situation of the Falcon Empire.

The man in front of me is definitely a legendary general.

Lidakus, Governor of the Falcon Empire, attributes: Logistics Master, Super Defense Master, Duke Putao’s eyes are filled with stars, he definitely belongs to the kind of famous general who is in the limelight, blocking the battle between Luwangaka in the southwest and northwest , with 5,000 troops, they blocked the 100,000-strong army of the Southern Army of Gaul for fifteen days!

This was simply a miraculous turn, which led to the Southwestern Army of Gaul finally choosing to take risks, and as a result suffered the most humiliating defeat in Biye Valley in history.

"Ahem, Your Majesty the Duke, I'm afraid it's not possible to mobilize resources like this! We need a more effective arrangement."

Lidakus pretended to cough dryly, with a cold expression on his face. This time he was sent by the fat man specifically to assist the Puntau people in guarding Lisbonto. Speaking of tactical training, Lidakus' ability will be reflected in the flicker of the falcon. Among the stars, it can only be regarded as average. It does not have the bravery of Salon to escape the dangers of thousands of troops, nor does it have Hu Keqili's ability to capture fighter planes.

But there is one thing, there is no doubt about Lidakus’ ability.

This guy is a logistics expert and has genius-like scheduling ability for the arrangement of various supplies. Under his guidance, the general medicine people can build a solid line of defense in the shortest time, but this guy is timid and cautious by nature. Even if you see a fighter plane, you won't take the initiative to attack.

It is precisely because of this that Lidakus was known as the "Iron Wall Turtle that cannot be crossed" after the Battle of Rwangaka.

The fat man sent this iron turtle to the Puntao people to catch the Gangfei people blindly. The turtle's shell was very hard, and the cunning bitch also put countless spikes on the turtle shell. If Gangfei When someone steps on it, it's not just as simple as bleeding.

Under Lidakus's genius and effective arrangement of various materials, the ruin-like Lisbon Tower miraculously displayed staggering defensive capabilities. The city walls were ready-made, intact, and shockingly strong, and the stones were ready-made. Yes, the city is full of ruins,

Ridakus shamelessly dug two long pits outside the city. One was at the 150-meter line, which was the shooting range of the infantry crossbow, and the other was 100 meters, which was the shooting range of the arrow chariot. Ridakus Si also had someone quietly put a sign three hundred meters outside the city.

On a sunny morning, the battle flags of the Congolese army appeared like a sea under the city of Lisbon. Remshat, who was riding a horse and looking at the half-ruined city in front of him with disdain, was waiting for the troops to gather. One after another, the regimental flags of the Congolese army Driving forward, countless spears suddenly erected a metal forest in the sun, infantry, cavalry, and siege tower cranes, just like showing off in front of the Putu people. More and more Putu troops arrived in Lisbon. Below the city, a war broke out.

"Can we really win?" Under the seemingly calm face of the Duke of Putao, there were a pair of hands clenched into fists. His fingers sank into the palms of his hands, and there was a heartbreaking pain.

"Haha, today, the weather is nice!" Lidacus looked at the army of the Gangfei people, and his mouth curled slightly. The Gangfei people would never have thought that among the 14,000 ordinary troops that seemed to be weak soldiers, 6,000 of them were the genuine Falcon Empire Central Army.

The Empire Central Army, which was truly equipped to the teeth, far surpassed the regular army of the so-called first-line and second-line troops of the Gangfei side in terms of weapons and equipment, morale, and combat power. Long-range defense is the specialty of the Falcon Army.

The deployment of a large number of heavy weapons dismantled from warships has made the garrison of these 6,000 Falcon Army qualitatively improved.

Under normal circumstances, unless the opponent mobilizes more than five times the troops, after the siege, they will line up a desperate battle line and launch an attack at all costs, or break the defense line of 6,000 heavy-weapon-equipped Imperial Central Army,

But now

the opponent does not know the details, and the first-line troops sent by the opponent are at most 20,000 people, and you will be beaten to vomit blood. Can you get close to the wall of Lisbonto? No! (To be continued...)
