Realm of Power

Since last night, Algernonkaja felt that there must be something wrong. The Vekia Falcon would not use its army to work all night just to show a breathtaking "funeral". Sure enough, when the sky turned dark Fang Liang felt that the Falcon formation on the opposite side was different from yesterday, but he couldn't notice the difference for a while. At this time, he heard the attendant beside him mutter in confusion, "It's strange, the two infantry flag regiments on the left He actually ran directly to the river on the left! "

"What, the river on the left?"

Algernonkaja frowned slightly. Following the direction described by the attendant, he saw that the two camps on the left wing of the Falcon Army moved about three hundred meters to the left at the same time without him noticing, because It was still from the left, so I just felt a little awkward, but I didn't notice it.

It is facing the rock wall on the side of the mountain city of Daniel, a smooth cliff with a height of hundreds of meters that is impossible to climb. Strategically speaking, it is a meaningless position. It is Daniel The city is absolutely unbreakable because no one can climb up from there.

However, the abnormal mobilization of the Falcon Army made him shaken. His eyes flashed with confusion and hesitation. People like Vecchia Falcon would never do useless work. He painstakingly planned to quietly place the two main infantry flag regiments. There, heavy troops occupied the river, and hundreds of large ballistas were deployed to form a long sloping line that could form a long-range strangulation. Obviously, in order to completely block any attack that Daniel might launch in the direction of the river, Algernonkaja launched a A shiver,

This arrangement is not offensive! It's defense! What are the Vecchia Falcons defending? "Algernonkaja's eyebrows were completely twisted together." He ordered people to set up an observation post on the left cliff! Pay attention to the movements of the Falcon Army in the river at all times! "

Algernon Katya decided to make Danieli's defense watertight and never give the Falcon Army any opportunity to take advantage of it. No one can turn a blind eye to the arrangement of a military god, just like two chess players. With the same hand, the clever opponent made a useless move, and in order to be safe, he, who was weak in chess, could only follow up with a useless move. This feeling made Algernonkaja feel a little angry inside. But the new situation caught him off guard. Reports came from the city guards that the Falcon Army was trapped in the city, which shook the confidence of the Gauls in the city.

Can we really hold on? Or how long can we keep doing this? Such confused voices circulated among the Gauls, and the city guard law enforcement team was immediately dispatched. As many as 120 people were arrested in just one morning. This was a very serious message. The face of the city guard who came to report seemed a little painful. He was ordered to use all his strength to suppress the abnormal movements in the city, but those caught were all Gaul compatriots. How to deal with these 120 people at this critical moment became a problem. He reported to Algernonka reported the arrest results

"According to the Empire's wartime laws, such people who do not want to serve the country should be executed!"

Algernon Katya's face was expressionless. He picked up the quill pen on the table, dipped it in the sapphire blue ink bottle, and signed his order on the execution document with very elegant writing lines. In this way, 120 people did not go through any interrogation procedures and directly followed the instructions. Gallic wartime law stipulated that the Falcon Army should carry out public execution orders for spies who sneaked into the city. The proclaimer with goose feathers on his head held the just signed proclamation in his hand. The man in blue clothes and red trousers stood in the square in the center of the city and announced that the place where these spies were to be executed was on the 100-meter-high rock wall facing the river. The faces of the Gauls who were listening all around showed a trace of anger.

At the same time, Algernonkaja in the office rolled up another letter signed by himself and handed it to the attendant: "Shoot an arrow to the Vecchia Falcon outside the city. I invite him to come under the mouth rock wall at three o'clock in the afternoon." Watch how these "spies" are executed!"

"Invite the Vecian Falcon... Sir, is this okay? Those 120 people are all us Gauls! They may have some complaints, but they will be executed in front of the enemy's emperor. Isn't this an approach... "The attendant's face looked a little ugly.

"Once an order is issued, it cannot be changed!"

Erdenonkaja waved his hand with a gloomy face to interrupt him, "Of course I know that those 120 people have nothing to do with the Falcon Army, but now we must do this to stabilize the people in the city. As for whether others believe it or not, it is because So, that’s why I specially invited the Vekia Falcon to watch. As long as the battle flag of the Vekia Falcon appears below the rock mouth barrier, who will question that these 120 people are not spies of the Falcon Army?”

Algernonkaja grinned slightly. Looking at the gloomy sky outside the window, he said to himself, "Although it will leave a reputation for cruelty, only in this way can we delay the outbreak of chaos in the city as much as possible! Avoid being destroyed by self-insurrection."

"I can feel that the Vekia Falcon outside the city is planning this result. Although I don't know what the other party's plan is yet, it must be like this. I can feel it, so we must rush to appear in the city. Break out from here before the chaos!"

Algernonkaya intertwined his hands and fingers, his expression was unclear,

At the Falcon Army Camp. The fat man received the letter from the front line. Faced with Algernonkaja's so-called invitation, the corners of his mouth were a little angry and ridiculous.

The Falcon Army did not infiltrate intelligence personnel in Daniel, let alone arrest 120 of them in one arrest. Obviously, this was a superficial means of taking advantage of the situation. Algernon Katya had already sensed the uneasiness, and in order to suppress the city The possible chatter has reached the point of using whatever means necessary.

"Send a reply to the city and I will be at the cliff on time!" The fat man said to Hu Keqili who had sent the letter.

"Your Majesty, the other party obviously has no good intentions, why would he still..." Hu Keqili was a little confused.

"How can you not go to such a good show!" The fat man smiled slightly, patted the shoulder of the important minister of the empire and said. Hu Keqili's face looked a little confused. What is the plan of His Majesty Falcon?

"Why don't you go? It's such an interesting thing. It seems that guy wants to run away!" The fat man laughed loudly and walked out of the military tent. The guard guarding the door quickly put his right hand on his chest and saluted. The fat man said to the guard "Tell him." The carpenters in the army rushed to make one hundred and twenty coffins before three o'clock in the afternoon. Since it is all an act, let's put on a good show! "

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The guard nodded and turned away. The carpenters who accompanied the army quickly made one hundred and twenty coffins.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, on the cliff to the left of Daniele, the Gauls were a dense mass of people. Three thousand soldiers were dispatched to maintain the situation, and they laboriously used their spears to form a blocking line. Shouting "No chaos, no chaos!"

The wind blew across the front of the moss-covered cliff. 120 soldiers selected from the army's supervising team stood at the front of the cliff. The wooden stakes used for beheading were lined up at their feet. They were all cut down in the morning. The new wooden piles still exude the unique fragrance of elm wood.

When the soldiers of the supervising team drew out their swords, the fragrance would be contaminated by another smell, that is, the smell of human blood. 120 Gauls who were judged as spies were kneeled on the ground in rows, and their heads were covered with black His head was covered, his hands were tied behind his back, and his mouth seemed to be stuffed. It can only make a whining sound, like a row of earthworms twisting

"Is the Vekia Falcon here?" Algernonkaja asked in a low voice the war supervisor in charge of supervising the execution. He looked at the hourglass representing the time. The scene was about to be staged, but the main audience had not arrived yet. , I don’t dare to come, or I’m not interested!

"Not yet, my lord!" the war supervisor replied with an uncertain expression. The Vekia Falcon will reply, but who can guarantee such a thing? At this moment, a group of black-armored cavalry appeared five hundred meters below the cliff, lined up along the raised mounds, with a golden side The falcon battle flag appeared like a windstorm, and the battle flag burst into pieces. A murderous aura made the Gauls on the cliff feel suppressed. The battle flag embroidered with a golden falcon was reflected in the gloomy sky, and the iron hoofs clanged.

The black armor shone with a dark luster. As the cavalry dispersed, a figure appeared in everyone's eyes.

"Wei...Weijia Falcon!" A citizen of Dany City turned pale with fright and his legs trembled.

"Oh my God, it's that devil!" A Gallic woman almost collapsed on the ground. It was so terrifying.

"He is simply the incarnation of a blood-soaked demon!" A white-haired old man crossed himself on his chest with both hands, swearing that he had never seen such a terrifying person in his life. In full view of everyone, the man wore black eagle wings on his head. Helmet, riding a tall and strong war horse like a Warcraft The exquisite armor breastplate is as dark as night. The chest is in the shape of a white thorn flower. The shoulders of the armor are full of sharp edges. You can't see the face clearly, but the whole person stands there, with a strong murderous aura permeating the whole body. , that feeling is like a demon god overlooking all living beings,

When the man raised his head and looked towards the top of the cliff, tens of thousands of Gauls "hoo" felt as if their hearts had been violently shaken. "Clatter", their footsteps were chaotic, and the crowd crowded back neatly. He retreated more than ten meters, as if being pushed backwards by an invisible giant hand.

It wasn't until the man looked away from here that a sound of inhalation could be heard from the crowd.

It's so terrifying. This rumored demon king who killed millions of people carries a shuddering coercion. Even though he is separated by hundreds of meters and a hundred-meter-high wall, it makes all the Gauls feel terrified. Everyone felt the chill of winter, and there was silence all around. Tens of thousands of people were suppressed by the momentum of one person, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

"Mom, look, I'm not afraid of him!"

A little Gallic boy with yellow hair bravely picked up the stones at his feet and wanted to rush forward and throw them towards the mound below. He was dragged back by his mother behind him, and the mother who always doted on her children slapped him away. On the little boy's tender face!

"What do you want to do! You are crazy. If you die, your mother will die too!" The mother hugged the child with tears in her eyes, and never wanted to separate her hands.

"Sir...Sir, the Vekia Falcon is here!"

An attendant with a flustered face trotted towards the audience seat where Algernonkaja was sitting, where more than a dozen tables were lined up. The Gallic generals were sitting behind the tables one by one, discussing this with great interest. This public execution, executing 120 spies at once, was like watching a joke to the generals who were familiar with the situation. When they heard that the Vekia Falcon really came to attend the appointment, the generals' faces suddenly became very strange, and they mutually They looked at each other and fell into rare silence.

"We have 100,000 troops in the city, while the Falcon Army outside the city only has 100,000 troops. We are the defenders, and they are the attackers. Our army is waiting for work. The enemy is an expeditionary force that fights continuously. The opponent is making a common sense mistake. I thought our army would be trapped because of this swamp, but the other party was wrong."

"In fact, with equal strength, if we don't consider the residents of the city, we can break out easily! But before we do it again, we can't reveal the slightest sign of a breakout. On the contrary, we have to use the blood of these 120 people to let the hunters The Eagle Army believes that our army will defend to the end, making the citizens in the city believe that we will coexist and die with the city." Algernonkaja, who assigned the task, paused in his voice. His sharp eyes swept over the generals attending the meeting and said sternly, "This is the best secret of our army. If it is leaked, everyone will die in Daniel!"

After learning that Lord Algernonkaja had decided to break out of Danieli, the generals collectively chose to remain silent. Danieli had become a dead city, and the 200,000 Danieli civilians in the city would eventually bring down the army. Instead of having to massacre a large number of civilians to gain breathing time, it is better to use the blood of these 120 people to buy delay time. The breakout time has been set for the night after tomorrow. The thousand-meter swamp is the biggest problem, but as long as it lasts for several days, it will be In such hot weather, as long as it doesn't rain, the swamps will become dry and hard.

In order to deceive everyone in the city, Algernonka asked for a public execution of 120 Falcon Army spies on the wide terrain of the cliff.

From here, you can also see the mounds below. Algernonkaja stood up from his seat with a solemn expression. He had always regarded the Vekia Falcon as his destined opponent. He saw what happened just now, and it was worse than expected. . One person scares tens of thousands of people, what kind of power is this!

He even had no doubt that once the 200,000 civilians in the city of Daniel knew that they would be abandoned by the army, there would be uncontrollable chaos and a decision had to be made! He said coldly, "I can see, my eyes are not blind, let's execute him!"

"Sir, didn't you say you wanted to reprimand the Vekia Falcon in public?" a general reminded in a low voice.

"Rebuke? You saw what happened just now. The situation is already like this. What's the point of reprimanding!" Algernonkaya rolled his eyes. He did have such an intention at the beginning. High on the cliff, he scolded the Vekia Falcon below in order to improve the morale of his army and the people. The scene just now made him completely lose his confidence.

"Everyone raise their swords," the war supervisor's voice was cold and loud.

"Whoa!" The soldiers of the war team with serious faces raised their hands neatly and raised the infantry two-handed heavy sword that could cut off a person's neck with one sword. One hundred and twenty smooth swords made of Bode steel were like raising a river of light under the gloomy sky. The crowd around became commotion again,

The crowd was like a group of ducks whose necks were held. One by one, they stretched their necks and shouted, "Raise the sword, raise the sword! Cut it quickly, cut it quickly." Some family members of the criminals shouted in the crowd. howling,

Algernonkaja slowly raised his right hand, and the soldiers in the supervising team looked at him. As long as his hand dropped, the heavy sword would fall, and then heads would roll around.

The fat man raised his head and looked at the execution ground above the cliff, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. Ever since he received Algernon Katya's deliberate letter, he had become suspicious. This guy had arranged such a grand plan. Such a farce, only I am afraid that it is not just to suppress the abnormal movements in the city. This farce is for myself and for the residents of Daniel City. From the death of Hassen Rimbaud under the city of Daniel, the fat man guessed that Algernon Katja Already planning to run away

The sword flashed, and blood spurted out from the headless chest. The man who was still struggling in front of the wooden stake suddenly collapsed, and his head fell off and rolled according to inertia, all over the ground.

The farthest one rolled more than 20 meters, all the way to the feet of the people watching. The head was originally covered with black cloth, but without the neck, the black cloth fell off during the rolling, and the head inside rolled away. When he came out, there was a sudden commotion, with a chubby face, a pair of bleached eyes like dead fish bulging out of the eye sockets, only half of the tongue in his mouth, and the other half was gone somewhere.

It was Locke, the pig butcher in the city. Someone recognized the name of this head. Because when he was selling meat, he joked that there might be no food in the city, but if there would definitely be meat, he was called a spy. He was arrested. According to the city guard, this guy must be planning to kill people and sell them as human flesh after they run out of food. Dirty business, such people should be killed in advance, otherwise I don’t know how many people will eat human flesh. The butcher who has been killing people all his life received the same treatment today. The bones of his cervical vertebrae were cut off, and they were in the red meat. It looked extremely white, dazzling and disgusting, like a fat pig's head. More than one person started to make vomiting sounds.

"Someone, send one hundred and twenty coffins to the city of Daniel!"

The fat man waved his hands in boredom. This play was not very exciting. He would have thought that in order to fulfill his role, Algernon Katya would give a generous and loud lecture to himself, the villain, in front of him. Who knows? I didn’t dare to let it end like this!

But I still have to follow the rules. One hundred and twenty coffins. I admit the frame-up. Smart guys like Algernon Katya will understand! This is a declaration of war. There is no point in deceiving. It is impossible to escape quietly. If you want to leave, you have to fight openly, or leave Danielni in a coffin. One hundred and twenty coffins, if they are distributed to those middle and upper-level officers in Gaul, it should be enough!
