Realm of Power

Hutuima looked away from the Gallic officer who was still shouting after being escorted away, looked at the back of Varisien who was looking at the city in the distance with a strange look, and asked, "What do you want now?" What should I do? The situation looks a little bad. This is your first battle in Gaul. Although I think you are unhappy, for the sake of my daughter, I still hope you can succeed!

"Isn't it good? I don't feel that way! As a general, I have encountered worse things than this!" Varisien smiled at the corner of his mouth and kept looking at Berlindel in the distance. He said, "I'm just a little surprised. Could it be that the guards in Berlindel City just watched a thousand guards being eaten by us, and they didn't even take any action!" It seems that the commanders of the Gallic Guards are not all the hot-blooded fools they were just now!

"Nonsense, if all the Gauls were fools, His Majesty would have already defeated the capital city of Gaul. How could it be stagnant in the Rusty area for the whole winter!" The bloody Gaul sword, wipe off the mud stained on it with your fingers,

Looking over the long sword to reveal its sharp appearance, Hutu Emma sighed unexpectedly, "What a sword! In the empire, such swords are rare!"

"No matter how good a sword is, without a capable user, it is just a decoration!" Varisien responded with a proud look, which seemed to mean that he was talking about himself.

"Stupid! What do you know? The Gallic Empire has dominated the northern part of Obarro for more than three hundred years. Its forging skills have been integrated into various skills of the steppe people in the north, the Slavs, Central Asia in the east, and Congo in the south. His skills are not inferior to ours in the slightest, just with his eyes As for the former Imperial Guards standard long sword, although it is still a little behind the "Samor Saber" specially forged by the Falcon Empire Guards, as a standard weapon that can be equipped in large quantities, this long sword has The toughness and stiffness are superior to the standard sword of the Guards Corps "

Hutu Emma's face turned slightly blue. His beard trembled slightly in anger, and he glared at an ignorant guy with a vicious look. Varisien turned pale in fright, and he quickly laughed and apologized. "What Lady Emma said makes sense. A good sword is It’s a good sword. It doesn’t matter who uses it!”

"Hmph!" Hutu Emma snorted, unwilling to pay attention to him anymore, and picked up another long sword of the Gallic Guards. To confirm that the sword just now was not specially forged, it was also a good sword that was not inferior to the one just now,

In the eyes of a professional alchemist like Hutu Emma, ​​this represents the Gallic military industry, which masters a certain forging method that he does not know.

The swaying Guards sword in front of him, forged with a hundred forging methods, was like a trembling cold light flashing through his slightly narrowed eyes. The flexibility of this sword may not be as good as the semi-curved Imperial sword, but it is only forged. The skill has reached an astonishing level. As an alchemist, he was more concerned about what the Gauls revealed on this long sword.

"What, it's just a sword, what's so good about it!"

Seeing Hutu Emma entranced with a Gallic sword, Varisien beside him could only look at the almost cleaned battlefield with boredom. He suddenly thought of the name of the commander mentioned by the Gallic officer just now. His eyebrows furrowed slightly

He had heard of this name, and even said that throughout the northwest, the name Algernonkaja was synonymous with stupidity, fool, and fool.

"Algernon Katya, the former southwestern commander of the Gallic Empire, was used by His Majesty the Falcon to lure the enemy deep into the territory, and annihilated the entire legion in the Biye Valley! In the end, he was redeemed as a prisoner and was full of humiliation." There is this After such an extremely painful experience, it’s no wonder that even after seeing all the intruding subordinates being killed, they are still as stable as a rock in the city." Varisien seemed to have thought of something, and smiled slightly, and the seriousness in his face seemed to dissipate a lot.

"It's been so long and you're still in the mood to stay here in a daze!"

I don’t know when Hutu Emma, ​​who was fascinated by the long sword, had already put away the long sword in his hand.

Seeing Varisien's dull-eyed smile, he couldn't help but said angrily, "Your Majesty is betting on the fierce battle of the main force of 200,000 imperial troops, at the cost of the lives of countless soldiers, that we can cut off Gaul in one fell swoop in a short period of time." The opportunity for the army to retreat would lead to the complete collapse of the entire Gallic army!

Hutu Emma stopped, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "But now, we have been delayed here, wasting the precious time that the 200,000 main force fought hard to win! But we can only achieve the goal of annihilating the enemy." A battle of one thousand men! Is this your first battle in Gaul?

"If His Majesty Falcon knew that you were so incompetent, he would definitely chop off your head with a knife!"

"Cut off my head, and your daughter will become a widow..." Varisien thought maliciously, looking at Emma Hutu with a half-smile on his face, and then he saw old Emma. The man who was blowing his beard and staring had the urge to draw his sword and challenge him to a duel.

He quickly said seriously, "Ms. Emma, ​​don't get me wrong, I'm not in a daze, but I'm thinking about a serious issue."

"Serious enough to laugh!" Hutu Emma curled her lips disdainfully, this guy is too shameless!

"I'm not kidding!" Varisien sighed with a very serious look on his face, looked in the direction of the road, shook his head and said, "I was thinking about the news that the mountain fortress was defeated and our army entered Berlindel. The news should have reached Hassan Rambo at this moment, which means that the enemy's reinforcements should also be heading here. Without any decision, we will face a cruel situation of being attacked from both sides! "

"hiss"

Hearing Varisien's words, Hutu Emma took a breath of air with a disdainful expression, and her face turned pale with horror. It was really possible that the mountain fortress was defeated, and it was a fool who knew that the target was from the rear. Berlindel, the commander of the Gallic side, Hassan Rimbaud, was no ordinary person. When he realized that there was a possibility of cutting off the road in the rear, he would definitely send Elite troops were dispatched to return reinforcements, and the Falcon Army that attacked this time happened to be located between Berlindel's defenders and the returning Gallic army. If the reinforcements and Berlindel's Praetorian Guards attacked from both sides, the 50,000 of our own It's really hard to die without even a scum left. Even if you are lucky enough to run back and face the anger of the angry Majesty Falcon, it will be a kind of torture!

"What should we do now?" Hutu Emma was a little confused. He was also experienced in battles, but he was famous for being timid when he commanded the Ruidian Fifth Army. Otherwise, he would not be respected by the Ruidian Army. For shame and alienation.

"In extraordinary times, we can only use extraordinary measures!" Varisien responded

"Extraordinary measures?"

Hutu Emma's face was slightly stunned. Varisien looked up at the sky. It was almost noon. The sun above the head began to heat up, and the corpses on the ground always made people feel uncomfortable. The smell of blood was floating in the wind, and the soft soil soaked in blood under their feet made a creaking sound when walking.

Varisien turned to the messenger cavalry behind him and ordered, "Cut off the ears of all the corpses of the Gallic Guards. Put them in a string and hang them on our army's battle flag! Then send someone to plant them under Berlindel City."

"You are crazy! Doing this will only anger the Gauls in the city and make them fight to the death with us!" Hutu Emma said angrily.

"Wouldn't it be better if they all stayed in the city? What's the difference between cavalry and infantry?" Varisien said with a sly smile, "I decided to set up Thor outside the city and blast away Berlin. "Del's city wall!" He pointed around with a serious expression. "I just looked at it carefully, Berlindel." The terrain is flat, and there is an open space outside the city. With our existing two heavy infantry flag regiments, it is already good to be able to hold on against the attack of the 20,000 Gallic Guards with heavy cavalry, let alone expect a short period of time. Capture this well-defended city, but there is a forest on the left that is our chance to win."

"woodland?"

Hutu Emma looked puzzled. The woodland could block the attack of the cavalry, but in terms of location, the woodland was a bit evasive, and there were too few opportunities to be effective on the battlefield.

"Yes, I will place all the ballistas and arrow carts I brought this time in the forest!" Varisien said cheerfully, "If the enemy dares to leave the city, I will give them a flank attack there. As long as I can let them The enemy thinks our army There are a large number of troops ambushed in the forest, and the enemy's cavalry will not go out of the city to fight in the field. As long as the enemy's cavalry does not take the initiative to leave the city, under the fierce bombardment of our army, the city will have 20,000 more or less 20,000 people. What a difference!"

"The enemy will not be so stupid. The cavalry group that gives up its field advantage and only suffers some losses will be used as infantry to defend the city! That is unless the opposing commander is a fool!" Hutu Emma sneered slightly at the corner of her mouth after hearing this, obviously Disagree with Varisien’s whimsical strategic ideas

"It's hard to say. I'm not sure about others, but if it's really that Algernon Katya, the possibility is very high!" Varisien shrugged his shoulders indifferently, with a heavy heart in mind. He smiled and said, "Don't forget, that guy is someone who has fought against His Majesty!

"Back in Biye Valley, His Majesty wiped out the entire legion in one fell swoop, and his energy was captured miserably. If you imagine His Majesty's style, you will know that if His Majesty Falcon is so ferocious, greedy, and extremely fierce, he will definitely kill him if he makes a comeback. The giant creature pulled him into his cave and tortured him, and finally took a bite. What a painful memory it was."

"It is estimated that even if the pain to the former Southwest Commander-in-Chief is not to the soul, it is to the bone marrow!" Varisien's voice paused, with a hint of ridicule. "Even if he puts it back for so long, he will still be scared when he sleeps at night." Wake up! Such people are afraid of His Majesty. The fear is hopeless. I dare to conclude that if the other party thinks that it is His Majesty Falcon who appears under Berlindel City, and sets up a large number of ambushes to catch him again, even if he is waiting to be bombed in the city, he will I will never choose to take the initiative to go out to fight in the city!"

"This guy is really despicable..." Hutu Emma was dumbfounded. For some reason, he could also feel that Varisien's method was quite feasible, and at the same time, he couldn't help but arouse a trace of anger. , this bastard who seduced his daughter, in addition to luck, also learned five or six points from that person in terms of despicableness. If that person attacked the city personally, or really dared to ignore the opponent's cavalry and attack the city wall directly with the Thor .

"Let's arrange it like this! First we have to prepare a generous gift for each other, and then send it over in the name of His Majesty!" Varisien had a little excitement on his face, and even personally ordered the soldiers to cut off the ears of the corpse. The bloody ears were strung together , hanging on the back end of the battle flag, "The wind stirred up the dust on the ground, flew upward, and kept circling. A golden falcon battle flag blown by the wind also rolled up a long string of red flags with the wind. At the end, it was a red flag composed of thousands of bloody human ears falling in the wind,

In full view of the Gallic garrison in the city. This military flag, which was like a declaration of war from the devil, was deeply planted 100 meters outside Berlindel City by a galloping black-armored cavalry. Under this battle flag, this black-armored cavalry He even threw away a disheveled head very arrogantly. Blood flowed from the fractured head. The ground beneath the head was stained red. It was the head of Bird, the commander of the Gallic Guards, with unwilling white pupils open. After rolling on the ground for a few times, the expression on the city wall in front of him was fixed, causing a commotion among the Gallic defenders on the wall.

"It looks like Captain Bird's head!"

There were also Gallic Guards on the city wall. Seeing the tragic scene of their colleagues who had just left the city without authorization and been beheaded by the brutal Falcon Army, the young and passionate Guards bit their lips with their teeth and held their swords tightly in their hands. Damn, are these Falcons all devils? If you humiliate a Gallic warrior who refused to surrender in battle, aren't you afraid of being punished by God? The glaring Gallic Guardsmen. Looking at the black-armored cavalry who lowered the battle flag in the distance, I wanted to kill him with a thousand knives.

"Your Excellency Algernonkaja, after half a year's absence, your Majesty misses me very much, so I specially prepared this gift to express your gratitude!" the black-armored cavalryman sneered. Suddenly he said, "Your Majesty, let me tell you that since the war in Biye Valley, there has been a long-lasting cold wind. It is the ghosts of those who died in the war waiting for Your Excellency Katya!" The slightly awkward Gaul pronunciation was in The sound echoed in the air, and the Gallic Guards on the city wall roared. Like a drop of water falling into oil, all kinds of curses suddenly exploded on the city wall

"Asshole, die!"

"Shoot that guy to death!" Someone opened the bow and arrow in his hand, but the black-armored cavalry had already cleverly turned around and ran away, leaving only a fat war horse butt swinging from side to side, leaving it on the city wall, which almost made him angry. Crazy Gauls

"Sir, please let us go to war!" A group of officers of the Gallic Guards walked up to the steps of the city wall tower with hurried steps and looked sad and angry. They knelt down on one knee towards Algernonkaja who was standing at the top.

"Sir, Bird died so miserably, and the entire Bird squadron is responsible for the blood debt. I request you to go to war immediately!" A blond-haired officer of the Gallic Guards shouted in grief and pain. His name was Luac. , is Bird's best friend. Seeing his friend's tragic death, his eyes were filled with anger and blood oozed out.

Algernon Katya stood on the city wall, holding on to the battlements with his hands, his face turned extremely green, with ten fingers clenching the battlements, he took a hard breath, his face was white and lost all color, like a crazy beast in his arms. Roaring inside,

Biye Valley! , for him, a patient who has just emerged from his psychological shadow, this word is like a knife piercing his heart, dripping with blood.

"The devil is right below the city!"

Algernonkaja's body was trembling, and his whole soul was trembling. The tragic past that he could not bear to look back on was like a lingering nightmare, swirling in his mind. His eyes swept over the dozen Guards officers below. With slightly trembling lips, he uttered a heavy sentence: "No! No one can attack without orders. This is a trap of the enemy! The other party must have an ambush somewhere. I have fought against that devil, and I know him better than you! He must .

Algernonkaja's words suddenly stopped, because he saw with a slight frown that the young officer with blond hair with cracked eye frames had stood up. His red eyes were stained with blood, and his aloof gaze was like an arrow. shoot at him,

That kind of look is full of contempt and pride. I once had such a look,

The young officer said slowly, "It seems that Lady Katya's courage has long been scared away by that devil. Since Lady Katja is so afraid of that devil, then let me, Lu Yak, die. As His Majesty the Emperor's prisoner, Guards, even if it is a cold corpse carried back to Kyoto, it is better than a frightened coward struggling to survive!

"Luak, are you going to disobey the superior's order?" Algernonkaja looked at him with cold eyes, and snorted heavily, his tone full of murderous intent. A Bird has appeared, and this will never be allowed. If this happens again

"If a person survives once, he will continue to survive. This Gallic proverb is really suitable for Lady Katya! Those Southwest Army warriors in Biye Valley really didn't deserve their death!" The blond young officer, completely Ignoring his threat, he sneered and turned resolutely towards the city road.

"Luac, I'm going too!" Another officer of the Gallic Guards stood up decisively, with a majestic look and made a noise as he walked. It was Tiese, the captain of the fifth squadron of the Guards, who was Tielan's subordinate of the Kyoto Army. Brother, seeing him stand up,

Another young officer with a thin and capable body stood up and said, "How can such an interesting thing be done without me, Nisda!"

"And me, Alonso"

"I am La Crosse!" The officers of the Gallic Guards stood up one after another.

"Come here, arrest these people who violate military orders immediately!" Algernon Katya was almost going crazy.

Looking at these elite members of the Gallic Guards, thinking that they would become lifeless heads like Bird,

he no longer cared about stability and shouted angrily, but there was silence all around. From soldiers to officers, no one was willing to move. Several of Algernon Katja's servants wanted to move, but seeing the unfriendly eyes around them, they dared not move. They looked at Algernon Katja with the same eyes as those young officers.

"You... Why don't you believe me..." Algernon Katja was so angry that his face turned pale.

Feeling a strong repression that he couldn't spit out, a bloody smell surged from his chest to his throat, and finally spurted out of his mouth with a puff.

The sky was blood red, like countless red raindrops falling, the world was spinning rapidly, and the vision was getting more and more blurred. . . . . . .

"The master vomited blood and fainted!" There was horror all around, and several servants hurriedly ran up in a panic,
