Realm of Power

In an office at the Ministry of Military Affairs of Congo

The sun shines lightly on the balcony near the window curtains. A man of about forty years old is wearing a blue and straight uniform of the commander of the Gangfei Army. He is bald, his light black skin gives people a hard feeling, and his eyebrows are very thick. Like two ink dots,

He is none other than Mekaya, the commander of the Ninth Army of Gangfei, who is known as the last line of defense in Kyoto. He left a deep impression on people once he saw him. He is a burly, muscular middle-aged man with bright eyes. Full of energy and vitality, standing there like steel

"I just got the news that General Gulen, the guard officer of the Nasta region, was censored at the border!" Mekaya said in a low voice, looking at the gray-haired military commander Rubin Thacker who stood in front of the window and became more determined. 's back,

"Review? Whose order!" Rubinsack turned around unexpectedly and said in surprise, "I have never given such an order!"

"It is said to be Iket, the staff officer of the Ministry of Military Affairs. That's why I came here to ask. Don't worry if I know it's not your order, sir," Mekaya said with a respectful look.

"Did Grant say something?" Rubinsack asked after a moment of silence.

"No, I just suffered a little imprisonment!" Mekaya's eyes flickered. "I'm afraid that Gulen will think that the Ministry of Military Affairs wants to kill people and silence them, so..."

"Stop the investigation immediately. Also, Grant is temporarily quarantined!"

Rubinsack frowned slightly, touched his chin with his hand, and said slowly, "This time we are using the entire northern Puntau as bait to lure the Falcon Army into the north. First, it is to reduce the pressure on your side, but more importantly The thing is, we need to make Falcon Empire The public enemy of Barrow throughout Central Europe! The Burrows family prison in the Nasta area is the trigger for the Falcon Empire to become a public enemy! rumors!”

"You can rest assured of this. Gulen is a smart and loyal man! He knows very well what should be said and what should not be said. During the review, he always insisted that he forgot because he was in too much haste. So many people and materials were lost. Need to evacuate, this situation is normal!”

Mekaya seemed to have thought of something, and said with a strange expression, "My subordinates are just worried. What will happen if the Falcon Army doesn't step into this trap?"

"Won't"

Rubinsack looked extremely confident and waved his hand, "According to intelligence, the Falcon Empire's troops deployed on the Putao battlefield. Although their combat power is strong, their military discipline is the worst. They are prairie cavalry with a predatory nature. You You can think about what it would be like if these cruel prairie people discovered hundreds of beautiful women gathering in the canyon outpost. The beautiful female knights, as well as the witches of the Turrit family, who are famous for their beauty and coquettishness. These prairie people will never let go. Even if the Vecchia Falcon finds out and wants to stop it, everything will be in trouble until the order arrives. It's over. When the time comes, the witches of the Turrit family will be insulted, and the Falcon Empire will be the public enemy of the entire Central European Barrow!"

"That's what I say, but there are people inside who are not our own!" Mekaya lowered her head. His expression was slightly gloomy. This strategy was indeed vicious, and it might even reverse the currently unfavorable battle situation.

Rubinsack's eyes fluctuated slightly, and soon turned cold. He looked at Mekaya and said slowly, "As the current commander of the ninth legion of the empire, you should understand that there is no victory without sacrifice! Protect! The country is not about justice, but about various means. It's a bedside story I heard when I was a child: justice will prevail in the end, and evil will eventually fail. Behind the country is a deliberate plan. There is nothing to feel guilty about. Isn't this the predecessor of the Ninth Regiment? That ancestor’s famous saying!”

"Tolerate sacrifice!"

Mekaya's face became complicated. This is a well-known saying in Gangfei, and the source of this sentence is the Ninth Army of Gangfei, or the predecessor of the Ninth Army. It is directly under the fifth emperor of Gangfei. heavy infantry regiment,

This regiment was originally formed during the War to Support the King sixty years ago.

At that time, two princes from Gangfei fought for the throne of the emperor. One of the princes occupied Kyoto and declared that he was the orthodox and the enemy was the rebels, while the other prince attracted 15,000 powerful Hwen tribesmen. Thousands of cavalry help,

The prince who occupied Kyoto sent envoys to recruit volunteers in various places in the name of orthodoxy. It was at that time that the Lagla people participated in the joint army supporting the king as reserve soldiers. At the beginning of the war, soldiers from the Lagla area were not recruited. I'm optimistic about this, Lagla people. The people of Lagra have always been tough, bad-tempered, drunken, fights, disobedient to orders and other incidents occur frequently, and there are even bad incidents of robbing friendly supplies. These temporarily recruited Lagra people have been ordered to be limited to equipped with melee weapons and serve as logistics troops. use,

The higher-ranking nobles feel that these Lagla people are not worthy of trust. They are a group of undisciplined barbarians. Everyone knows that the Lagla people have no loyalty at all. They will even turn around and throw away the other party for a copper plate. The neighbor’s chickens were sold!”

At the military meeting, almost no nobles spoke well of the infantry regiment in the Lagra region, except for one person, the famous general Aristides who was later known as a ruthless loyal minister.

"Since you are not worried about the Lagla people, then leave it to me. I don't care anyway!" The unknown famous general said with determination that he was willing to accept these Lagla people.

At this moment, he was actually still worried about his situation.

He was born in a small nobleman in the countryside, and thought he would live a life of mediocrity, but the battle for the king unexpectedly awakened the ambition of this young nobleman. In order to express his loyalty to the late king, he frantically ordered his own palace to be burned before setting off. Manor, with more than a dozen frustrated servants and farmers came to participate in the rally The king's army participated in several mediocre battles and achieved little success. In the eyes of those nobles with titles, this was just a small country noble who wanted to get rich. If it weren't for the fact that he burned down Based on his determination to seize his own manor, he might have been driven away long ago by this guy who just wanted to take credit!

“Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together!”

The nobles looked upon him with contempt, but Aristide did not care. He had his own plan. The Lagra people were indeed unreliable, but their number was as many as 7,000. This was for Aristide who urgently needed to show off his stage. Like a hungry wolf seeing fat meat,

Aristide worked hard to convince the top leaders of the King-supporting United Army, and vowed, "I will train these Lagla people into qualified warriors! Seven thousand more soldiers are better than seven thousand more enemies!"

"People can give them to you, but you have to find the weapons yourself. Whoever owns the troops is responsible. This is tradition!" The top leaders of the coalition agreed.

Aristide was ecstatic and uncontrollably excited. He became the first commander of the infantry regiment. He first bribed the quartermaster with 100 gold coins. He had long been familiar with the warehouse guard. I know that there happens to be a large number of eliminated unified long guns in the warehouse.

Because it has been stored in a warehouse for a long time, the wood used to make the spear cannot see sunlight, and the warehouse is dark and damp. The wooden handles of these spears are moldy. No regular army would need such a shameful weapon. Even the subordinate troops who follow the regular army do not need these moldy and spoiled things. The quartermaster has classified them as burned. , and reported the matter to the superior. For a bribe of 100 gold coins, the quartermaster agreed to clear out all these excess things according to the price of buying and selling wood.

These inferior long guns were distributed to the Lagla Regional Infantry Regiment! It’s like garbage with garbage! Constant taunts from other infantry units could be heard. Although he knew that the goods were of inferior quality, the first captain Aristide still gained the trust of the Lagla people.

The infantry regiment of 7,000 men was a full 300 more than the 1st Infantry Regiment, which had the largest population at that time.

The final battle finally came. The Hwin cavalry among the rebels almost overwhelmed the troops on the left wing and tore apart the formation of the Gangfei army. The noble infantry was even beaten and sent flying all over the mountains and plains. The flanks of the entire army were completely exposed. Come on, everyone thinks Gang Fei Ren will fail,

Except for the prince's own troops, the nobles' troops were all retreating. Only Aristi pulled out his command sword without fear, knelt down on one knee in front of the prince who turned pale with anxiety, "Please send my troops." Come on troops!"

"Go!"

The future Emperor Gangfei was also ill and sought medical treatment. Now who cares whether this local spear regiment is really useful? At least it can buy some time for retreat!

The charging enemies were like waves crashing on the shaky defense line. The Lagra people who were on the battlefield for the first time stubbornly leaned against each other. The dense array of spears in their hands blocked the barbarian cavalry from charging again and again. It was extremely tragic. a battle,

The ground was dyed red with blood, and the corpses of men and horses were piled up more than one meter high in front of the gun formation, as if there was a huge circle around the infantry regiment.

On the mountain where the Lagla people defended, the barbarian cavalry suffered heavy losses, and the Lagla people also suffered numerous casualties.

But no one retreated. Even if their hands and feet were trampled by the war horses, the wailing Lagra people would use all their strength to pounce on any enemy who rushed into the spear array, biting them with their teeth and picking them with their fingers. , as if the magic barrier went crazy, this terrible scene caused the Hwen cavalry who wanted to sweep the battlefield to fall short. They paid a price of 3,000 people on this mountain, but did not make the slightest progress. The morale of the coalition army quickly increased.

The retreating nobles came back with their troops. For six hours, until the main force of the rebels was defeated by the frontal Empire's main formation, these crazy Lagra people still insisted on their positions.

Of the 7,000-man spear corps, less than one-tenth survived in the end.

But miraculously, this infantry regiment was not defeated. There was not even a single deserter. Bodies lay all over the hillside, and the soldiers' mournful cries spread through the night.

Later, His Majesty the Emperor learned that a plague broke out in the Lagla region that year, but the empire had strict restrictions on the movement of the population. Those who moved without approval would be captured and executed. In order to prevent everyone from dying in their hometown, Lagra region Every family in the country strives to send their men to the imperial army, hoping to leave this place of death as quickly as possible and escape this plague. In order to leave the last seeds, some even just over twelve years old There are also young men who are hiding their age and joining the army, and there are also women who are pretending to be men!

These Lagra people fight to the death because those fighting beside them are their relatives, friends, fathers and sons, and lovers! Once retreated. The military formation was shaken, and the enemy cavalry rushed in. Everyone was destined to die!

In order to survive, everyone is fighting desperately. When faced with a desperate situation, even cowards will become warriors! Aristide's cunning gave him the chips to win. Later recorders commented on the battle that made him famous,

"For victory, sacrifice can be tolerated! This became his motto!

The strong fighting will of these Lagra people in the face of the Jedi finally saved Gangfei! In the future counter-insurgency, the enemy on the opposite side will tremble whenever they see the battle flag of this infantry regiment. Lagla Infantry Regiment, the immortal regiment!

To show reward to the Ragla people. After the war, the Emperor of Ganfei announced the cancellation of taxes in the Lagla area for fifty years. And announced the permanent retention of this infantry regiment that saved the entire war. Incorporated into its own direct-administered troops, thirty years later, this outstanding infantry regiment once again achieved a key victory in the Southern War. The directly affiliated Lagla Infantry Regiment was expanded into the Empire's Ninth Legion. The main soldiers are still Lagla people, and they still maintain a very tenacious combat capability.

Just when Rubinsak and Mekaya were quietly waiting for the Falcon Army to cause a tragedy in the canyon, thereby angering the entire Central and European countries, unexpected news came from the border, which made their expectations come to nothing.

"What did you say? Did Iket bring the female knights back safely in the canyon?" Rubensak's cold face looked like it had just been blown by the cold wind. How is this possible! How did Iket do it?

"Get General Mekaya!" Rubinsack sat down on his seat and ordered the guard at the door. He was a little confused. Why did the brutal Falcon Army let go of such an opportunity? Didn't it mean that these prairie cavalry were capable of burning, killing, and looting? Did he suddenly become a saint?

Soon, Mekaya appeared at the door,

"What's wrong, Mr. Minister!" Mekaya looked at the depressed Rubinthack curiously, feeling slightly surprised. Rubinthak was in charge of imperial affairs and always gave people a feeling that he would never be destroyed. He had a broken image, but now, this gray-haired old man showed a rare trace of fatigue.

"The plan failed. Iket went to the canyon post and brought everyone back!" Rubinsak raised his head and groaned in dissatisfaction. "I don't know how he did it. It's really disappointing." Incredible!”

"What should we do now"

When Mekaya heard that the plan failed, his expression became more solemn. He raised his head and looked at the map on the wall, and said worriedly, "After the Falcon Army fully occupied the northern part of Putau, it will have a strategic foothold to launch an all-out attack on Gangfei." , the most frightening thing is that we and Pu Tao The border is more than 200 miles long, and the defense force is seriously insufficient. There are loopholes everywhere. Once attacked, it will immediately collapse. Moreover, behind the border is the land of the empire, and the people there are also subjects of the empire, not like Putao. You can throw it away at any time!”

"Yeah, it feels like someone is holding a dagger on your neck! It's too close, there's no room to use it!"

Rubinsack rubbed his temples painfully. "From now on, there are only two ways. One is to immediately seek peace with the Falcon Empire. I am afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will not agree to this, and the Falcon Empire may not necessarily agree to this." I would be willing to negotiate again. ." Rubinthack stopped with a hoarse voice.

"What is it?" Mekaya asked curiously

"Move to the capital!" Rubinsack said with a heavy tone, "Now only by moving to the capital can we avoid this imminent crisis. And as an empire, Kyoto is currently in a very bad situation even if there is no general defeat. , the Falcon Empire's navy can bombard Kyoto at any time. Once the Falcon Empire's army lands, it can reach Kyoto within a day. This makes us very passive strategically and moves Kyoto into the well-protected inland Anize Province.

. . . . . . . . .

From the first moment he saw this woman, Fatty could feel that she was not so much a witch, but more of an ascetic who was diligent in spiritual practice. He was very good at controlling his emotions. His beautiful face and Turitko Lin is 78% similar,

The gorgeous and dignified appearance is in great contrast with the tranquil soul.

The fat man looked at the woman opposite, whose whole body was shrouded in a long and wide black robe. She was the head of the Turrit family and the biological mother of Colleen Turrit. Her double identity became increasingly confusing. This woman's true thoughts were not about the black robe. No one would believe that she was actually a witch.

Tens of thousands of cavalry completely controlled the valley. The outside was silent and filled with murderous intent. After learning that the head of the family was actually the biological mother of Turrit Colleen, the fat man could only choose a more polite attitude, "You are the Falcon of Vikia." ? The Emperor of the Falcon Empire! Colleen once mentioned, but "

The middle-aged woman looked at the fat man in astonishment. Her deep eyes were the same purple as Turrit Colleen. They were as purple as the sea before the dawn. The room was small in size, exuding the aristocratic style of being small and exquisite. The furniture was all neatly tidied, and the walls and floors were spotless. In the middle of the room was a bench that had turned dark gray due to age. Sandwiched in the middle was an equally old wooden table, a kettle with a patterned clay pot, and four pottery pots. Wooden tea cup.

On the other side of the room is a simple bedroom with only a bed made of bricks, covered with a straw mat and white sheets. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Fatty would not have believed that this was the first generation of Turrit. The master's bedroom.

As the core of the super wealthy Burrows family, the Turrit family represents dark power and incredible power, which is not consistent with what you see in front of you.
