Realm of Power

In the early morning, the white mist was mixed with moisture, and it was like a flowing white water strip on the vast land. The vast land was vast. In the middle of the night, a fierce battle defeated the 100,000-strong Gallic army. A galloping war horse stops in front of a raised green mound,

Wild flowers of all colors covered the rolling hilly area in front of him. The forest was like a vast wilderness. The huge mountains broke free from the shackles of the earth like a giant dragon. The terrain along the east gradually rose. The highest upright mountain peak was like a knife. The sword penetrated straight into the white cloud top. This is the Andesque Mountains that surround the hinterland of the Gallic Empire. This mountain range traverses the entire northern part of Obarro, forming countless open basins with high altitudes. The towering mountains are like a natural barrier, blocking the cold wind and snow from the cold north, forming a milder basin climate. In these basins, the brilliant culture of human civilization gradually developed. The Rusty area is located in the entire huge basin community. This is also the intention of the Gauls to fight to the death to block their iron hoof, because after crossing this mountain, Gaul will have to face many crises when the country opens its door.

At the high end of the mountains, there are dots of pleasing white snow marks, giving people a cool feeling in this spring of March.

"King Khan!"

Wu Mu, the general of Dongting, saw the fat man coming and quickly led a dozen of Dongting people's Qianqi Chang over.

The only remaining veteran of the East Court who rejected the fat man's solicitation, he got off his horse in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, knelt down on one knee in front of the fat man's horse, lowered his head, and could see stains of blood that had not yet been cleaned on the black armor on his body, majestic His body is like the vast wilderness of the grassland, and there are not many emotions on his face.

"King Khan!"

The dozen or so Dongting Qianqi Commanders behind him saluted neatly, but they were obviously much less courageous and courageous. After killing the remnants of the army, they were forced to form a powerful infantry group. For the grassland people who always valued rewards, it was simply asking them to let go of the beautiful girl and hug the skinny old woman instead. There was nothing cheap to say, and they were still so frightened by their bones that they all had their heads drooped. Facing the Falcon King, no one dared to say anything, but there was still some resentment in their hearts.

The fat man had everyone's eyes on him. With a slight smile, he asked the Dongting cavalry to give up chasing the defeated army and instead besiege the Sixth Army of Gaul. Naturally, it was not just because the Sixth Army was powerful.

These 30,000 Dongting cavalry came from more than a dozen tribes. Among them, except for the 11,000 people from the four tribes of the Chinese Army commanded by Wu Mu, they were direct descendants of Ruitang Tingna and were loyal and loyal. Unshakable, the other 20,000 cavalry are completely winnable targets. Fatty knows the nature of the prairie people very well,

He is rebellious but respects the strong. He likes killing but prefers wealth.

For these Dongting people, it is like a hunter taming a wild wolf. It is necessary to feed, but not too full. When wild wolves are not yet tamed, they will bite their masters if they are very hungry. If they are too full, they will not pay attention to the master's orders. They should give both kindness and power, and at the same time, they must let them He clearly understands the huge difference between loyalty to the empire and loyalty to Ruitang Tina.

The fat man raised his hand on the war horse. He said sternly, "You are so lucky! Since you arrived at Oparo, with the empire's southern and northern wars, your achievements have been obvious to all. I have ordered the empire to allocate grain worth 100,000 gold coins to your tribe from within and outside the empire. Salt. Iron and other materials, as for the rewards of this battle Granted, no matter what the harvest is, each unit is still 100,000 gold coins! Moreover, the grassland has been opened on the northern border of Oparo. If you are interested, you can apply to the empire. I have always believed that the empire’s resources should first be supplied to those who are interested in the empire! People who have contributed"

"Thank you, King Khan!"

As soon as the fat man finished speaking, the dozen or so Dongting Qianqi Commanders, who had looked a little gloomy just now, suddenly beamed with joy. King Khan said that the resources of the empire should first be provided to those who are useful to the empire. It simply made thousands of these tribes. The captains felt as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood, and they knocked their heads on the ground with excitement.

This time everyone was truly convinced!

The little bit of resentment just now has long since disappeared. He traveled thousands of miles across the sea, endured all kinds of lovesickness and cruel battles, not only to gain wealth and glory, but also to bring prosperity and hope to the tribe. 100,000 gold coins are enough to make a living by herding. For most of the grassland tribes, it is definitely a huge fortune.

What's more, there are grains worth 100,000 gold coins, salt and iron and other materials that may not be bought with money, as well as the rumored new pastures in the border areas, which are fatal temptations for all prairie people. In the two months since they came to Opalo, these thousands of Dongting Cavalry Commanders were shocked by the empire's rapid expansion in Opalo.

The two large regions of southwest and northwest were included in the empire's territory, which is equivalent to expanding the empire's land by one-third. It is said that there is a vast unclaimed land north of the long border wall. The empire is making every effort to reclaim these areas, and it is not the same as Gangfei. The war of the empire, the Falcon Empire once again achieved complete victory, East Court The thousand cavalry commanders also felt lost. They felt that relying on the big tree called the Empire, they could get unexpected gains every time. It was not only wealth, but also glory, and an inexplicable and exciting sense of belonging. King Khan's generosity told them how generous the rewards of loyalty are.

Wu Mu's face looked a little ugly, but as his subordinates were excited, he bit his lips and did not speak, choosing to remain silent.

One word lives, one word dies

King Falcon Khan's fierce method of turning his hands into clouds and rain has long been irresistible to the Dongting general. His eyes paused slightly on the figure of the fat man. It was as complex as the spotted mountains in front of him. King Khan His Majesty is obviously trying his best to evade the power of the eldest princess. From a certain point of view, Wumu really cannot resist this approach.

Just as King Khan talked freely with himself that night, the greater the strength the eldest princess possesses, the more she is forcing the empire to kill at the last moment. The restoration of the East Courtyard is just a phantom in the water. The reason why King Khan is still forbearing is, It was entirely because of his affection for the eldest princess, but King Falcon Khan has never been a person without a bottom line. On the contrary, King Falcon Khan's methods in the entire unification war were often not to make any mistakes, but to take action. There is no room for redemption!

According to the nature of King Falcon Khan, or perhaps out of love, he would not kill the eldest princess at the last moment, but imprisonment was inevitable. It would be a big joke to say that the East Court took the initiative to go to war with the Empire. Although there were many people in the East Courtyard, their hearts had already collapsed under the various temptations of the Empire.

The war started. It is estimated that two-thirds of the tribes will give up the eldest princess without hesitation and happily fall into the arms of the empire. This is the general trend. In the larger sense, the empire represents the Falcon Khan and the common master of the grassland. The ever-frightening Whip of Heaven, no matter how proud the tribe is, can only bow and obey in front of this person. In terms of strength, the empire's military power is at its peak, expanding its territory. Sweeping the entire northwestern territory of Oparo, it might be possible to fight when the East Court was in its heyday, but it is absolutely impossible now. According to the current development trend of the East Court, integrating into the empire may be the only possibility for its continuation.

His Majesty the Khan is only 25 years old this year, even if His Majesty the Khan only lives to be 50 years old. There are also 25 years to rectify the local structure of the mainland. 25 years, Wu Mu dare not continue to think about it. According to the ability of King Falcon Khan, it only takes five years at most, even if the entire Dongting Grassland is restored. It's more than enough to flatten it once.

The iron hooves of His Majesty Falcon's army once trampled the mountains and rivers, and thousands of armies fled. Faced with the sharpness and bloodyness of the imperial sword that terrified the entire continent, no one on the grassland dared to gasp loudly. What's more, the recent news coming from China has made General Dongting feel that the situation is serious.

"What's going on with the besieged Gallic army?" The fat man first asked the excited Qianqi commanders to retreat, and asked Wu Mu who was left alone.

"Following His Majesty's order, we have been harassing them for two consecutive days. It is estimated that even if they are made of iron, they are unable to fight at this moment!" Wu Mu lowered his head and replied, "It's just that his subordinates don't understand. Although the enemy's combat power is strong, they are all Infantry, if your majesty allows it, our Dongting cavalry can defeat them in one fell swoop!"

"They have to be wiped out long ago. There are other uses for keeping them!" The fat man walked into Wu Mu's tent with a nonchalant smile, and Wu Mu followed behind him with a respectful expression.

The big tent was set up on the mountainside. From a broad view, you can see the camp of the Gallic Sixth Army in the distance. Looking down from a high place, you can see groups of prairie cavalry constantly wandering around the periphery of the Gallic military camp. Whenever they have free time, After a while, they will launch a rain of arrows at the Gauls camp. The Gauls army is arrayed in a tight formation, not daring to relax at all. The wood outside the camp is filled with white arrow clusters, so densely packed that there may be millions of them.

"The life of the Sixth Army of Gaul was miserable enough. They broke out in the middle of the night and were still unable to retreat into the mountains. Once they were overtaken by a large number of cavalry, it would be difficult to escape!" The fat man said with a sneer on his face. "For this marriage in the West Court, you What do you think? "The fat man stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance from a high place outside the tent, and suddenly asked

"West... West court marriage? This..." Wu Mu's strong body trembled slightly unnoticeably, and said with a stunned expression, "The East and West courts have been at odds with each other for so many years. Even if they are not mortal enemies now, they are definitely not." Friend, and this marriage in the West Court is obviously aimed at our East Court, so I really don’t know how to answer! "

"Wumu, you should know what I'm asking! There are some things that I can't ask! But I don't want to see some stupid woman walk all the way to the end, hit her head and bleed, and don't know how to turn back! "

The fat man turned around nonchalantly, his eyes coming at him like two sharp swords. The solemn pressure of a king made Wu Mu feel a slight sweat on his forehead. He quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet the eyes of King Falcon Khan. He knew that pretending to be stupid might not get him through, so he lowered his head and speculated uneasily in his heart.

Stupid woman, this is probably what Falcon Khan can say. The eldest princess is stunningly beautiful, a rare figure in the grassland for hundreds of years. However, facing Falcon Khan, the man who unified the continent and ended five hundred years of chaos. A peerless king, who dares to say that he is not a fool.

Wu Mu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said bravely, "Her Royal Highness the Princess was naturally very angry about the news. It is said that she smashed her most cherished glass cup. Xiting mentioned the marriage again, which was obviously aimed at Her Royal Highness the Princess wrote a letter saying that she would do her best to lobby other forces in the empire to boycott the marriage of the Western Court."

"Stupid! It's so blind that you can't see the mountain."

Wu Mu heard a low curse from King Falcon Khan and his eyebrows jumped. Then he saw King Falcon Khan's eyes were deep and he said slowly, "The news of another marriage is not a shocking thing. The East and West have been fighting for many years. Xiting has always been weak and finds that the balance cannot be maintained, so he will naturally try his best to find a way to make up for it. "

"But the other forces within the empire collectively silenced themselves on this incident. It was like a person reaching out to take the apple that everyone wanted to get in front of everyone, but everyone just watched silently. This This situation is really terrible. There are many forces within the empire."

"Which of the several forces that have a direct marriage relationship with the empire is a good opponent? Xiting proposed another marriage, which broke not only the balance in power construction, but also the tilt in the empire's resources. The proportion of power, for For other forces within the empire, this is an act of banditry that cannot be ignored."

The fat man's voice stopped, and he looked at the huge bulging mountains in the distance and said, "But the collective silence of other forces on this incident means that all forces in the entire empire have already acquiesced in a certain situation because of Tingna's aggressive momentum. Hidden alliance. The West Court is just a pawn launched by this huge hidden alliance. The situation in the East Court is like the besieged Gallic army, which is being trapped in layers of nets."

"This..." Wu Mu shuddered, sweating again, and deeply performed a tribal etiquette to the fat man, feeling a surge of gratitude in his heart, in accordance with the identity of King Falcon Khan who dominates everything. You only need to watch quietly to get the maximum benefit from this incident, but His Majesty is not so heartless and speaks such an important reminder at such a critical moment. His deep affection for the Dongting Patriarch and Princess is obvious.

"That's all I can say, the rest is up to you!"

The fat man adjusted his collar. He took the cloak from the guard at the tent door and said, "Come with me to the front to have a look. I'm very curious about this Gallic Sixth Army. I just don't know if Hassan Rimbaud is in it. It would be nice if I could meet him." ! I heard that this guy is known as the God of War in Gaul.

"His God of War is fake, King Khan is the real God of War!" Wu Mu said calmly.

"People say that honest people usually don't tell lies. Telling lies can deceive people to death! It seems to be true!" The fat man coughed and smiled, and glanced at him unexpectedly. He could feel that he was connected with this thing. The iceberg in the heart of the general in front of the court is melting. What a pity. What a good governor of the imperial grassland. The fat man whispered regretfully, turned over and mounted his horse. Unable to notice the strange look on Wu Mu's face, the fat man galloped towards the encirclement in the distance, on the raised mountainous area. The Gallic army, numbering between five and six thousand, was squeezed between the powerful Dongting cavalry.

The Dongting Cavalry side had clear flags, standing high in the air, with the falcon battle flag and the three-star moonlight battle flag fluttering in the wind. On the contrary, the Sixth Army of Gaul only had two or three military flags left, and they were still swaying listlessly. Revealing the desolation of defeat, Wumu divided the 30,000 Dongting cavalry into six groups, each group of about 5,000 people, commanded by different thousand cavalry commanders, and formed a battle formation; with the two wings stretched out, like a big crab. It unleashed a giant sting and pinned both sides of the Gallic army so that they could not move.

The fat man stopped in front of a Qianqi Commander and asked: "What's going on!"

When the Qianqi Commander saw that it was His Majesty the Khan, his face turned red with excitement. He was so excited that he reported, "We fought with them all the way last night and annihilated nearly half of their troops. We also shattered their other plans to enter the mountainous area. Now Everyone in Gaul is exhausted, and a full-scale attack can surely kill them. However, some losses are unavoidable due to the enemy's trapped beasts."

The fat man took a closer look at the formation of the Sixth Army of Gaul and found that the opponent was already too weak to form an army. He was holding on with sheer perseverance. All he had to do was wait patiently and trap the Sixth Army of Gaul. After a period of time, you can win without fighting. , in the encirclement densely packed with archers, when the Gauls desperately broke through, it was the beginning of the massacre. From the horrific sight of the corpses of Gaulish soldiers covered with arrows on the entire plain in front of Berman, he knew that Gaul soldiers The Lu people's breakout has been crushed!

"They are really tenacious! The Imperial Tiger Army has some momentum!" The fat man said to himself with bright eyes, and ordered to a guard captain behind him, "Go and ask the Gauls opposite if Hassan Rimbaud is there." Inside, if he is, I have something to say to him! "The sound of the trumpet echoes in the sky,

The captain of the guard went straight to the front of the Gallic army and stopped his horse fifty meters away from the Gallic army.

"Attention!" The Gauls on the opposite side suddenly became nervous and clenched their weapons. Because they were too tired, many soldiers fell asleep while standing. They suddenly woke up and looked at fifty meters away with bloodshot eyes. Are you thinking this person is crazy? What does a person want to do here?

"The one facing us is the Sixth Army of the Gallic Empire!" The captain of the Guards Squadron looked calm and shouted calmly. The Gauls opposite made a stir, and a man who looked like an officer replied, "That's right. We are the Sixth Army of Gaul. If you are here to persuade us to surrender, then go back immediately. There are no prisoners in the Gallic army. We would rather die in battle than surrender!"

"I'm not here to persuade you to surrender. My Majesty has something to convey. If Mr. Hassan Rambo is here, can you come out and see me!" The captain of the Guards Squadron grinned.

"Who is your Majesty? I am Hassan Rimbaud." As he shouted, there was a slight commotion among the Gauls opposite, and a middle-aged man wearing the blue robe of a Gallic general walked out, with gray hair on his temples. , but with an unyielding steel-like feeling,

"Your Excellency is Hassan Rambo? What a pleasure to meet you! His Majesty, the Empire can only be me, the Vigia Falcon." Following Hassan Rambo's voice, a slightly fat figure riding a black warhorse slowly came out from the opposite side. The powerful momentum immediately caused chaos and commotion in the Gaul army. It can be seen that the name of Vigia Falcon has deeply imprinted fear in the hearts of every Gaul. Even Hassan Rambo's forehead broke out in a row of cold sweat, and he whispered, "It turned out to be that demon king!"
