Realm of Power

The Lord has fallen! "

There was chaos on the top of the city. Algernonkaja fell to the ground full of grief and anger, his eyes were closed tightly, his face was pale, and the blood from his mouth stained the clothes on his chest. The attendants hurriedly helped him up and shouted loudly. He scolded the Imperial Guard officer for offending the superior officer.

The officers of the Imperial Guard did not expect such a situation to occur. They all stayed there completely, and some looked at each other meaningfully. Before the battle, their chief officer was seriously injured and vomited blood. It was really unlucky!

"Asshole, what are you doing? Come on, find a doctor right away."

The stubbled Algernonkaja's attendant shouted loudly. After a while, a doctor about forty years old was brought over by the attendant. This doctor had a very bad image and was wearing a leather black apron. , holding a dirty black toolbox in his hand, he looked more like a plumber repairman than a doctor. However, seeing the doctor's attire, the eyes of the attendants shone with hope.

In this era, doctors dress like this, especially doctors on the battlefield. Most of them are surgeons who have become monks. They usually perform simple amputations and wear leather skirts to prevent blood from splattering on their clothes. The simple operation is to use a sharp hatchet that you carry with you to cut off the injured or arrow-hit arm or foot, and then quickly wrap the wound with cheap styptic powder. Under normal circumstances, the injured person will recover soon. I fainted from the pain,

This kind of surgical operation seems very barbaric, even cruel, cutting off limbs just for a wound, but in Gaul, where the medical situation is low, this situation is very long sword, and the wound torn by the metal arrow is easy to become inflamed, and once infected, it will The most terrible thing is tetanus. Sometimes more people die from tetanus after war than from those who actually died in the war. Although the disability is pitiful. But at least he's alive.

The doctor looked at Algernon Katya who was unconscious on the ground. His eyes paused on the blood stains on his white clothes. He opened the box in his hand with a slight frown and took out a pair of tweezers. To clean up the bone and blood residue from the wound,

This adult must have suffered a serious trauma. The doctor ran over and squatted down. He judged casually. He stretched out his fingers tremblingly and carefully checked the location where the blood was stained red. Unexpectedly, he found that there was no wound. I tried hard and unwillingly to check again, but still nothing.

The doctor summoned up the greatest courage and asked in a trembling voice to the murderous attendant beside him, "My lord, can you tell me where this lord was injured?" "Nonsense, sir, we are here." Under heavy protection, I will let you come over to see how I can get you to wake up! "The attendant's angry nose was crooked, and his sharp gaze fell on the doctor like a knife. The feeling is obviously that of killing someone! "I'm a surgeon! Such a disease..." The doctor couldn't laugh or cry and raised the forceps in his hand, saying that he only knew how to amputate and bandage limbs. There was nothing he could do about this unknown internal disease. His answer was that the head attendant viciously kicked him in the face, and his face was covered in blood and rolled on the ground.

Standing at the city gate, the blond Guards officer named Luak was also making final preparations. Straightening the blue ribbon on his helmet, when he heard the noise coming from the city wall, he turned his head and glanced in the direction of the source of the chaos. I saw a man who looked like a doctor being thrown down the steps of the city road by Algernonkaja's attendants. His screams gradually became fainter, "Are you fainting? That's right. You're fainting now. Wait a minute." The appearance of no land is better"

A complicated look flashed across his face. No one knew how enviable Algernonkaja, the former famous general of the empire and the youngest commander-in-chief of the empire, was. He was a talented military genius and a great figure in the imperial world. The future star, His Majesty the Emperor’s most trusted personal attendant,

While he was still wasting his years in the Imperial Guards who could never go out to fight in the capital, Algernonkaja was already in charge of the southwest as a peer of his own age, commanding more than 100,000 of the Empire's southwest army. His background as an Imperial Guard was even more important. He is the idol of many passionate Guards officers, and Luac is no exception.

But the Battle of the Southwest changed everyone's views

The genius suddenly turned into an idiot, and the empire's dominance over the northwest was lost.

Many people believe that the empire's failure in the west began with the Battle of Biye Valley, where the entire army was annihilated. Algernonkaja, who was the most responsible, undoubtedly lost his glory, and Gaul was praised by everyone. Famous generals and generals of the empire were suddenly reduced to the status quo that even passers-by felt ridiculed by.

But as the Falcon Empire rose like a comet with great strength and swept across the western part of the empire in just half a year, the current Gallic soldiers better understood what a terrifying person the opponent Algernon Katja faced back then was!

The Vekia Falcon, who has gone through hundreds of battles without ever defeating the Emperor God,

If it were in the past, the Gauls would have absolutely sneered at such words. A barbarian is a barbarian, and the so-called military god is nothing more than a barbarian. But now, in the battle of the Sona River, one hundred thousand elite troops of Gaul were sacrificed, and the battle of Rusty , the Eighth Legion of Gaul was completely wiped out. In the battle of hundreds of thousands of troops, the Falcon Army smashed them up and down, and they lost their armor and armor. It was so horrific that no less than ten famous Gallic generals died in their hands! It has reached the point where the Gallic generals changed their expressions upon hearing this.

"Being able to survive in the hands of such an opponent is probably a blessing! Wasn't what I just said too harsh?"

Luac hesitated for a moment, but when his gaze swept across the Gallic flag fluttering in the wind on the city wall, the hesitation in his pupils immediately disappeared and he groaned, "As a soldier, if you can't even do the most basic things, If the bloodiness and courage to face the enemy are gone, then such a soldier is just an empty shell without a soul. "Lu Yak, what are you still hesitating about?"

Someone on the side was urging him loudly. It was Lacrosse, the Guards officer who had just left with him. He was a young man with flaxen hair and a high nose, giving people an aura of vitality. He was fearless. He pulled out his sharp sword and danced a dazzling sword flower in the air. He said arrogantly, "I'm so excited. This is my first choice, La Crosse." Let's fight. Alonsoti is guarding your right side! Tiese is responsible for the rear. What else do you have to worry about? With the combat power of our three squadrons of heavy cavalry, there is nothing to be afraid of even if we face tens of thousands of enemies. . Listen to the cry of the swords in our hands. This is the sound of thirsting for blood. We want these falcon barbarians to know what blood debt means."

"Yes, blood debt must be paid with blood!"

Luak's blood boiled when he heard the excitement, and he looked movedly at his friends who supported him. On weekdays, the four of them and the dead Bird were known as the "Five Elites of the Guards" among the young officers of the Guards. Thinking of Bird's head, which was staring at death a hundred meters away, blood flowed from Luak's cracked eyes again.

He firmly took the whip of the war horse from the waiter waiting beside him, turned over and climbed onto the broad back of the armored war horse, put down the metal visor on his helmet with his hand, turned around, and shouted to the subordinates behind him, "Everyone Are you all ready?"

"Please give the order, my lord!"

Behind him, about 3,000 Gallic Guards heavy cavalry responded loudly, their voices filled with confidence of victory. The armor and horse gear made the sound of metal friction among the dense cavalry. Finally, carefully Checked the weapons and equipment. The Gallic cavalry formed a triangular array,

At the front of the triangular array are three hundred heavily armored heavy cavalry. The heavy heavy cavalry lances were neatly put down. They will become the most terrifying strike forward. Use the horseshoes of the heavy cavalry to crush any object blocking the front into pieces. Then there are two thousand armored assault cavalry on the two slopes of the triangle. They will use the sharp knives to cut through the fragile objects and crush them away from the heavy cavalry. Gap pours in. Turn the entire gap into a wound that is difficult to heal, allowing the enemy's troops to bleed and wail there. Until it collapses.

This is a typical shock array used to deal with infantry. They have just discovered that the Falcon Army outside the city only has infantry, numbering about 20,000. The wide, flat terrain is an excellent battlefield for cavalry to fight in groups. In such a situation Fighting on terrain, the Gallic Guards are not afraid of any enemy, even the Falcon Army, which is known as invincible in land warfare!

"Open the city gate!"

Luyak had a determined face, feeling the gazes from all around, he raised his head and shouted to the tower above,

Behind him, the sharp Guards cavalry spear was held high in his hand, shining brightly under the sun, reflecting a coquettish light. The Guardsmen from other troops were all looking at this cavalry that was about to attack with blood in their eyes. The troops were filled with incomparable envy. At this moment, everyone seemed to feel that the Imperial Guard, a tiger that had been imprisoned in the capital of Gaul for hundreds of years, finally had some of the grace of its predecessors sweeping across northern Gaul. "Giggle"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the huge city gate was pulled and moved by three iron cables connected in series. The heavy and heavy gate slowly opened in front of everyone, "calling" as countless rays of light came in from the opened and enlarged city gate. , it is countless fierce winds blowing in from the cracks of the city gate. The wind chills people's faces, but there is no The ignited fighting blood was not extinguished. In the bursting war wind that hit the face, the ribbons on the helmets of the Gallic Guards lined up behind the city gate were blown and danced, as if countless battle flags were raised at the same time. The whirring sound filled the silent air with the suffocating smell of killing.

"For the Empire, for His Majesty the Emperor! The Praetorian Guards attack!"

Luak looked shocked, raised the sword in his hand, and then dropped it suddenly. He mustered up all his courage and shouted loudly. The war horse flew up and turned into a shadow. He was the first to rush out of the city. The sound of hoofbeats Like thunder, three thousand Gauls were banned A torrent of guard cavalry poured out from the city gate, their silver armor was like snow, and countless blue streamers were blowing in the wind. The roaring and vibrating sound of horse hooves rolled up the weeds and debris on the ground, like a huge arrow cluster, heading quietly towards the outside of the city. The waiting array of Falcon troops surged forward.

In the distance, a black light and shadow that covered the sky and the earth was rushing towards them from the direction of the Falcon Army. The entire row of cold light was like a swarm of locusts rising on the horizon, blocking the original color of the sky.

"This is the Falcon Army's arrow screen that is said to be able to tear the sky apart!" Luke, who was running at the front, even lost his mind for a moment. The Falcon Army's long-range arrow screen was hailed by the Gallic soldiers as the sickle wielded by the God of Death. God is not immune,

Since the battle between the Empire and the Falcon Army, countless brave Gallic warriors have died in such continuous long-distance attacks. This is no longer something that human power can contend with. The Gallic army has already responded to the Falcon Army's arrows. Mu has a phobia,

This is the most terrifying tactic of the Falcon Army, and it is also the most common tactic of the Falcon Army. Although the Gallic Guards did not go out to fight in Beijing, they also knew how terrifying the Falcon Army's arrow screen was, and they had already made preparations. In a short period of time, After losing consciousness, Luak rushed before the black cloud formed by the arrow cluster fell. Raise your cavalry shield,

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

The arrows hit the cavalry's face violently, and the sound was as dense as a rainstorm. Lu Yak's face suddenly turned pale, and he felt a huge sense of pressure and fear. Only when you have been to the Falcon Army's arrow curtain can you know the terrible feeling. The feeling is so strong, it's like moving in a storm, every blow is like hitting the soul, making people feel that the scalp is exploding from the inside out. Even a shield. Even the heavy cavalry could not withstand the dense barrage of crossbow arrows.

At a distance of 150 meters, the Gallic Guards began to fall from their horses.

A hundred meters away, dense clusters of arrows began to come towards the enemy. The arrow clusters were like the wind, quickly whistling and powerfully penetrating. Even the cavalry shields were shot through easily. Luyak's eyes were dyed red with blood, and he looked at his companions who were filled with dense arrow clusters, and fell off their horses like hedgehogs filled with white feathers. The only thing he could do was to move forward with all his strength. The arm tied to the shield was shot through, and he gritted his teeth in pain. Looking at the cold light of an arrow coming from the bones of a hand full of blood, he endured the loss and ignored death. Three thousand Gallic cavalrymen paid the price of a thousand men on the road;

The Gallic heavy cavalry is still advancing,

In the direction of the Falcon formation, Varisien was dressed in black armor and looked at the Gallic heavy cavalry getting closer and closer with a calm expression. The ground was shaking. The horseshoes had not yet reached the ground. The grass clippings and stone characters in front of him were already like boiling water. Generally bouncing up, the aftermath of waves of horse hooves hitting the ground came from the Gallic heavy cavalry coming like a silver wall in the distance, shocking people's hearts. The Falcon Army's military formation began to become a little commotion, and countless spears came from the array. The shields stand up like a hedgehog that explodes when in danger.

Eighty meters away, you can see the white mist emitted by the armored horses, you can see the eyes eager to kill behind the masks of the Gallic cavalry, and you can see the smell of blood clearly on both sides. , the other party is desperately advancing in order to step on At the moment when his own military formation was shattered, the Falcon Corps spearman held tightly to the handle of the gun wrapped in cotton cloth, so that when the enemy's heavy cavalry broke in, he would not let the splattered blood make him slip and lose his hand. Even if the spear is broken by the impact, it will not fall into his body.

"Put your guns up! Defeat them!"

The Gallic heavy cavalry, which was moving forward like a wave of silver light, began to level the spears in their hands. The dazzling brilliance bloomed in the sun. All the sacrifices were made in exchange for this moment. Even the wind could cut through the advancing cavalry spears, revealing the The dead silence before the explosion, the scattered sunshine,

"It's a pity that no matter how hard you try, you can only stop here!"

Varisien said to himself, standing behind the array, his eyes became like sharp swords at this moment, slowly raised his hand, looking at the enemy cavalry completely exposed on the side, and a thousand thornwa longbowmen standing in the woods on the flanks. , finally raised the drooping huge long bow, opened the bow string, and hung the special Mitsubishi long arrow specially designed for armor breaking, the cold light was like snow! The 70 crossbow vehicles loaded with arrow clusters began to turn. The soldiers behind raised their axes and slashed at the ropes hanging from the bowstrings!

"Hello", the stretched bow string made a muffled sound of tearing the air, and the special long arrows shot out with swirling airflow, like a giant hammer that crazily crashed into the side of the Gallic heavy cavalry. , a sound like tearing cloth, mixed with the shattering of flesh and blood. There is no shield on the side of the heavy cavalry, only flesh and blood. Even the thick armor cannot stop the crazy killing of crossbow arrows within 100 meters.

Just when the Gallic Guards were gritting their teeth and desperately seeking a fight, "Ah!" A galloping Gallic heavy cavalry was hit by a giant one-meter-long crossbow arrow into the chest without even a groan. , the powerful force penetrated the body, and even The horse with the corpse rolled over more than ten meters, and often a crossbow arrow penetrated the body of a Gallic heavy cavalry, and the remaining force was still inserted into another Gallic heavy cavalry. The group of Gallic cavalry seemed to be knocked away. The dam broke, people piled up and fell off their horses,

"No!"

Luak looked at the scene in front of him, his pupils tightened, his cracked eye sockets cracked again, and blood was flowing. This was a world of blood and death. Although a Gallic cavalry blocked his side with his body, his His life was only extended by less than ten seconds. Thousands of long bow arrows as thick as thumbs Like a big net, the Gallic heavy cavalry became struggling fish. When the storm of arrow clusters stopped, the corpses were stacked with the corpses of the horses, and blood flowed from the arrowheads to the ground. The rumble of the horse's hooves stopped, and there was only one left in the world. The white arrowhead tail trembled in the cold wind, like small white flowers.

On the walls of Berlindel, there was a dead silence,

On the top of the city, Algernonkaja, who had fainted, was slowly waking up. When he opened his eyes, the dazzling sunlight made him feel dizzy. The first words he said after waking up were to gasp and say: "Quickly." , ordered the city gates to be closed, and no one was allowed to leave the city! "

"Sir, just now, they have left the city! And... they are all dead..." The chief attendant who supported him lowered his head and hesitated with an ugly face, "What! These fools!" Algernonka Jia's face suddenly darkened, her lips trembled, and her eyebrows were like flowers that had withered in an instant, haggard for years (To be continued...)
