Realm of Power

On the land of white snow and ice, the sound of heavy cavalry hooves raised up the broken snow on the ground. A group of Gallic blue holy beast cavalry wearing blue armor and long silk ribbons on their heads rushed towards the pass in front with the momentum of wind and lingering clouds, like a Blue clouds float in the white sky

"Attention, it's our cavalry, open the gate!"

At the bottom of the pass is a small wooden fortress. The guards above have already become Kyoto troops. Seeing the golden holy beast flag fluttering in front of them like a wind, the officer guarding the pass shouted loudly to the soldiers in front of the gate winch.

"Giggle!"

The soldier pushed the winch, and the small fortress in front of the pass slowly opened the wooden gate.

"boom'

The cavalry rushed into the gate in front, and Pat, the commander of the 10th Infantry Regiment of the Northern Army of Gaul, who was trapped in the cavalry, was also among them. The slanting light from the corner of his eyes glanced at his colleagues who were "captured" like himself as he passed through the gate. ,

Ruhr, the commander of the 11th Infantry Regiment of the Imperial Northern Army. Ruhr, who has always been dissatisfied with Duke Simon, could not see much expression on his face at the moment. He seemed to have no idea about the meaning of stepping into this gate, and there was almost no hesitation. , and rushed in with the cavalry. Passing this door meant a complete departure from Duke Simon's Northern Army system, but this guy's extremely calm face showed that he might be feeling gloating in his heart.

Ever since Mr. Yard was transferred to Kyoto, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Duke Simon's entry into the northern part of the empire is definitely a disaster. This man spent one million gold coins to buy the Northern Commander-in-Chief from the Imperial Ministry of Affairs. The old aristocrats of Kyoto who hold the position have never considered the existence of the north in their minds, and there is no way to talk about their military talents.

This old bastard just used the Northern Army as a ladder to reach a higher status, and stepped on it hard. As for what the ladder would become, this Duke Simon has no interest in it at all. This place is not his in the first place. turf. He did not trust the Northern Army, and the Northern Army had never trusted him. Even the most ordinary Northern Army soldier did not think that such a person was worthy of the Northern Army's sacrifice.

So when the rumored imperial hero Tielan extended an olive branch and promised to supply supplies fairly, Ruhr accepted it without hesitation.

For such a choice, Pat is not surprised, as a best friend. He knew that in the eyes of this purest Northern Army general, allowing his subordinates to survive in such a situation of internal and external difficulties was the first issue that needed to be considered. When the two of them were drinking together, Ruhr showed the most concern for The Northern Army was in turmoil. This was a heroic army that once swept across the northern part of the empire in high spirits, in his mind. You should still be nostalgic for the scene when the heroes of the Northern Army cheered loudly after the victory. What an exciting day it was!

"If everyone were still here, the situation in the north would never be like this. The Northern Army at that time could defeat all enemies!" Ruhr always said this when he was drunk,

The wind blew on his face, and Pat licked his frozen, chapped lips. He looked at the other side, the commander of the 12th Infantry Regiment Adelin, who was born in Langes City near Kyoto. He was less than forty years old and already had gray hair on his temples.

Pat had long heard that this guy had been secretly in contact with Kyoto. It was this guy who called everyone together in the name of a military meeting. Then, they were all captured by the Kyoto army that suddenly appeared.

The tens of thousands of Northern troops outside the military tent were collectively defected. This was a typical traitorous behavior, but Ruel couldn't hate Adelin at all in his heart.

In this situation, if you go forward to fight the Falcon Army, you will die. If you wait to be continuously cannibalized by Duke Simon's Bidan Army, you will die if you push it onto the battlefield.

Adeline's choice was not wrong. Since the elite of the Northern Army marched westward and were defeated by the Falcon Army in the Battle of Daniel, most of them were defeated. The remaining army retreated to the remote Dillinger Mountains after a tragic breakout. The glory of the Northern Army at its peak was no longer ,

The original promotion paradise suddenly turned into a mudflat, and Adelin's family's difficulties were also reflected. Ade's family was just a middle-class family near Kyoto. In order to push Adelin's Kyoto local army into the prosperous Northern Army system, Adelin The family not only spent decades of financial resources and connections, but also owed more than 100,000 yuan in debt. In less than half a year, all the efforts were in vain. The original creditors were all powerful families. I heard that they had made demands. The Ed family must repay everything within three months, otherwise they will be charged with withholding military pay. Adelin caught him. Lord Ard was blocking him in the past, so the other party had a certain bottom line and didn't dare to go too far.

But things are different now. News came from Kyoto that Lord Yard was imprisoned. The adults of the Ministry of Military Affairs immediately proposed to reorganize the Northern Army. The so-called reorganization is actually not much different from the naked carve-up. Ruhr , Ellinde, and himself are all being adjusted. Kyoto plans to use a few reserve force training officers to get rid of the three of them, and then replace them with people from all parties. At that time, the Northern Army will truly exist in name only.

"Stop!" An order came from the front. The cavalry entering the gate like a flood began to slow down, and then separated to both sides, revealing a place fifty meters in front of them. A majestic-looking middle-aged general stood there. It was that day. The head of the Kyoto Army whom I met in front of Duke Simon’s chamber

"Thank you, you three. The situation is urgent and we can only deal with it decisively. Please forgive me if I have offended the other party!" Tielan walked over surrounded by several Kyoto army generals. He was wearing a gold-rimmed and blue-based armor and a large Red Flame Holy Beast Cloak, I like it Go majestic, holding a golden helmet in his right hand, with a blue ribbon on the top of the helmet hitting the ground. Against the background of the blue holy beast cavalry neatly arrayed on both sides, it is like an ancient hero resurrected in front of you, which makes people feel An urge to worship,

In terms of appearance, Tielan, who has excellent bloodline and a typical aristocratic appearance, is quite advantageous, otherwise she would not be worshiped as an idol by the passionate and impulsive young people in Kyoto.

"Lord Tielan!" Ruhr, the leader of the 11th Infantry Regiment, trembled slightly, took a deep breath, got off the horse, and Pat dismounted. He looked at the oncoming Tielan, hesitated for a moment, and said respectfully. After performing a military salute, he said in a solemn voice, "Lord Tielan." Adelin's attitude became even more exaggerated. He jumped directly from the horse to the ground and knelt down on one knee, just like a real direct subordinate, holding his head high and respectfully. "My lord!" "

"Okay, okay, it's a great honor for me, Tielan, to be able to see the three of you!" Tielan put his right hand on his chest with excitement, returned a military salute solemnly, and then walked past the three of them one by one. Help me up,

"This...how can it be done!" Ruel's face was a little dazed, as if he didn't expect that a big man like Tielan would be so condescending,

According to the title, Taluluer is just a baron. And Tielan is a genuine earl, who has already stepped into the Duke's ladder. In terms of status, he Ruer is just an infantry commander in the declining Northern Army, while Tielan is one of the most powerful in the Kyoto Army. As a character, compared with Duke Simon, Master Tilan is really a touching person!

"Your people will be well settled. Whether it is supplies or weapons, I will not be stingy with what I can give here." Tie Lan knew what he wanted most. He reached out and patted his shoulder heavily.

This time, Ruhr solemnly knelt down on one knee and said loudly, "You can rest assured, sir. As long as you say a word, I, Ruhr, and the soldiers under my command will go through water or fire without any hesitation. They are all true A warrior! It’s only when he encounters people like Simon who look down on others that he becomes unwilling to contribute! "

"I believe they will not bring shame to the battle flag of the Imperial Northern Army!" Tie Lan said with a serious face. I could feel the burning loyalty of the Northern Army general in front of me, and I sighed inwardly. I haven't seen a general like this for a long time. Such a person is the Northern Army that truly swept the North.

Tielan looked at Adelin, who had contributed the most this time, and said, "You can rest assured. In order to repay you, I have written a letter to Kyoto. From now on, you Adelin will belong to me, Tielan." "Subordinates, I will have your debts resolved!"

"Thank you so much, sir!"

Adelin was so excited that he couldn't contain himself, with a grateful expression on his face. This was partly because of the debts, but more importantly because he had become a direct descendant of Tie Lan, a hot and powerful man in Kyoto. This was something he could not ask for before. Taking the Tilan line and becoming a successful person is not a dream, everyone can Knowing that Tielan is already one of the top figures in the Kyoto Army, it is only a matter of time before he can take command of the Kyoto Army. If a monster like Yarde, who is unparalleled in both performance and military history, had not parachuted into the Kyoto line from the north, Tielan might have been there earlier. He is the leading figure in the Kyoto Army.

Tie Lan looked at the third person and hesitated for a moment. This was the person who made him feel unsure the most. Pat, the commander of the 10th Infantry Regiment of the Northern Army, wanted to compare with his two colleagues who had aspirations. This appearance Bald Pat, who looks the rudest and most unscrupulous on the battlefield, is actually the most difficult person in the Northern Army.

"Don't worry, sir. My goal is just to survive! I followed the other two to join you because the three remaining infantry regiments of the Northern Army are a whole. If both of them ran away, I would die if I stayed. , so I ran away too! "Pat showed his surprisingly white teeth and directly expressed his attitude." There is nothing else, but no matter how you look at it, in the north, the adults are the final winners of this war! \

,"oh? Why do you think so? This battle for the north has not really started yet, and the current leader of the north is still Duke Simon! The Bi Dan Army under his command is still the number one in the north in terms of combat power. . . . . . "

Tie Lan pretended to be surprised, but his eyes shone with fear, "Sir, you are a bit deceiving yourself when you say this!"

Pat raised his head, his eyes flashed like daggers, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said, "The Northern Army has declined, but its combat power is still there. It is still the most powerful and largest army in the northern part of the empire, and it makes even Kyoto feel threatened. It's a pity that idiots like Simon can't see this. If the Northern Army can be used as the basis, with the vast territory of the North, rich resources, and the advantages of being far away from the frontal battlefield, it only takes one to two years to grow into a force with A military group that rivals Kyoto's military"

"Oh? Keep talking!" Tie Lan's calm face became solemn,

"If Duke Simon hadn't been so short-sighted, the North wouldn't be what it is now!" Pat continued calmly, "In order to weaken the influence of the Northern Commander Yarde on the North, and in order to gain complete control over the North in a short period of time, This old nobleman, who had no ability at all and only knew how to fight among himself, stupidly deliberately suppressed the Northern Army and created a Bidan Army. He wanted to strengthen himself by draining the Northern Army. In fact, he did not realize that there was no Northern Army in the North. Commander-in-Chief himself is a joke,

"Only when an army has been forged with iron and blood can it truly be called an army. It does not mean putting on armor and picking up weapons to become a soldier, let alone truly winning the loyalty of the Northern Army. An army without loyalty, There is no fighting power at all. Duke Simon is fully responsible for a series of poor performances of the Northern Army in the war.

This is a heroic army, because it will only release its true combat power for those who are worthy of its efforts! So I can say with certainty that if the Bidan Army meets the Falcon Army, the final result will be a disastrous defeat! "Pat's decisive tone echoed on the snowy land, and there was silence all around.

After his eyes met Tielan's, he said loudly, "I believe your Excellency is well aware of this, because now. The advancing Falcon Army should have encountered the Bidan Army, which Simon Old Fox is most proud of." ,, 30,000 versus 30,000, no matter what the result is, it actually doesn’t mean much, because your Excellency has already taken control of the situation in advance, sitting on the mountain to watch the battle between the tigers and the tigers, and sitting on the Kyoto Army’s Northern Army with a total of nearly 100,000 troops. Will be the real winner in this battle for the north"

"Real winner, okay! Well said! Are you willing to help me?" Tielan looked at Pat,

"Can your lord let me live?"

Tielan heard the corner of her mouth burst into laughter. What a great harvest. I didn't expect that there would be such an insightful figure in the Northern Army. Sure enough, those who can climb to the top in the Northern War forged by blood and fire are not simple people. Ruhl has his own unique loyalty, Pat. Looking at the calmness of the overall situation, although Ellind has some minor flaws, he is also an excellent and resourceful general. The collective defection of tens of thousands of northern troops this time can be said to be watertight. It is estimated that even now, Duke Simon is still confused. In the dark

For the first time, he felt that leaving Kyoto was an extremely correct choice. How could he see such beautiful scenery without stepping out of the circle? Looking around the wealthy families in Kyoto, everyone wanted to get a share of the army's interests. You fight for me to take it,

Even I would never have the chance to independently control such a large army with tens of thousands of people and rich combat experience. But here, I can do it easily because it is far away from the center of power in Kyoto, which is even more valuable. Yes, the Northern Army is not a weak motley crew as rumored, but a self-contained military group with a heroic heritage. These officers and soldiers were all soldiers who fought desperately against the Slavs.

Glory, bravery, and rich experience are completely beyond the capabilities of the troops assembled in Kyoto in a short period of time. Just because of Daniel's tragic defeat, they were deliberately forgotten in the cold in the north, and were slandered by others in Kyoto. The north The army was like a sword that fell into the dust, unable to see its original appearance. However, when I accidentally wiped it with my own hands, I realized that what I picked up might not be a piece of scrap metal, but a sharp sword that could cut off everything!

Tielan sighed deeply in his heart. He felt that his distance from the center of power in his dreams was no longer so vague. Let everything start from the north! Alder must have thought so at the beginning,

"Report, Bidan Army and Falcon Army encountered each other in Winter Valley!" A blue holy beast cavalry rushed into the gate, shouting and attracting everyone's attention. The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Bidan Army and Falcon Army We met!

"Order the cavalry to prepare"

In the silence, Tie Lan turned around, his red general's cloak fluttering in the cold wind. Behind him, the five thousand blue holy beast cavalry who were the first wave of assault troops were saddled on their horses, arranged their weapons, and put on their armor. With a layer of war robe on top of the armor to keep out the cold, the war horse neighed in a deep voice, and puffs of white air spewed out from its nostrils.

"brush!"

After hearing the order, the blue holy beast cavalry got on their horses neatly, making a uniform clash of metal armors, just like the cold wind blowing on the mountain ridges. All the cavalry had a high-spirited fighting spirit on their faces, and they began to line up. Go out through the slowly rolling pass gate,

The iron hooves shattered the ice on the ground. Under the guidance of the gold-rimmed red flame holy beast flag of the blue holy beast cavalry, they merged into the howling cold wind. The time had been calculated long ago. It is about twenty miles from here to the Winter Valley. The cavalry Go slowly, there is still an hour of rest time.

Four hours later, when both the Bidan Army and the Falcon Army were exhausted, in the thick darkness, the all-out assault of five thousand blue holy beast cavalry was enough to reverse everything on the battlefield! Of course, if the Bidan Army is annihilated in the Winter Valley and the Falcon Army really breaks into Antura, he can personally lead an army of 100,000 to cut in from the Winter Valley, cut off the retreat of the Falcon Army that breaks into the Antura area, and then turn back. Eat one gulp of the 30,000-strong Falcon Army marching northward that had just been seriously injured in Winter Valley.

No matter how you look at it, there is no suspense about the outcome of this war. Just as Pat said, he has already stood on the scale of victory in this northern battle in advance, and it is heavy enough to tilt the scale in advance.

The unexpected war situation in the north seems to have slipped in a direction that surprised even the fat man.

Tie Lan, Pat, the Northern Army, the Kyoto Army, the Salon Army, the Central Army, inadvertently, the duel between the two armies of 100,000 people was like the last ray of warmth in the winter sun of the Gaul Empire, the last ray of sharp light flashing on this land that has been frozen for thousands of miles.
