Realm of Power

"Chi" A flash of light suddenly ignited in the dark sky, like a sharp sword cutting across the long clearing, instantly tearing apart the darkness above the earth.

The lightning flashed away, like a meteor streaking across the earth, leaving only an instant of eternal brilliance. After the lightning disappeared, darkness flooded the earth again, heralding the coming heavy rain. It was a night in the rainy season in May, and there was no light at all in the summer night.

The sound of horses' hooves rolling up soil mixed with the sound of raindrops, but there was an unusual silence behind it.

On a raised slope. The electric light shone on Yaglinsi's black general armor,

Yagelins, who was riding a standing horse, looked at the outline of the fortress in the distance with a cold expression. In the flash of lightning, it was like a messenger from hell. Behind him, there were thousands of soldiers who stopped their horses and lined up in a row. Five hundred Imperial Cavalry, front It is a vast plain area. The sparse raindrops in the sky fall from high places and hit the cavalry armor, like a white flower blooming. From this position, you can see a group of small black dots heading towards the fortress.

In front of where Yaglins was looking, the hoofs of a cavalry captain were raising muddy water on the muddy ground.

This cavalry captain wore light armor and carried a crossbow on his back. His whole body was bent as close as a horse's back, and the war horse flew like lightning under his crotch. In order to reduce the weight, this cavalry captain was not equipped with a cavalry shield, nor was he equipped with a cavalry shield. Wearing a battle vest, in Yaglin Ten meters in front of Si, the cavalry captain stopped his horse violently and said in an excited voice, "Sir, we are at war with the enemy's cavalry! According to the instructions, we led the opponent towards the direction of the Watto Fortress. The opponent is now The abandoned fortress should have been discovered!"

"Well done!" Yaglinsi looked sternly, nodded in approval, and shouted behind him, "Brothers, it's time for us to take the stage. Immediately intercept the opponent's scouts with all our strength! We must make the other party think that our army's retreat is real. Unmistakable"

"Yes!" Thousands of cavalrymen galloped down the slope, flying towards the front like vines rolled in the wind. A few minutes later, Yagelins saw a group of small black dots turning in front of the Watto Fortress. It was an opportunity. lose! He immediately pulled out the sword from his waist and shouted, "Charge forward!"

"Kill!" The rain was thick and the fog was thick. The cavalrymen drew their weapons one after another, and the sound of the horses' hooves was like thunder.

"What is that sound? The Gangfei scout cavalry who discovered that the fortress was abandoned was preparing to retreat. The officer leading the team stopped and faced the horse's hooves, and suddenly heard a dense thunder-like sound coming from the side. The opponent's commander turned his head, and a flash of lightning flashed, and he saw a huge V-shaped black horse rushing towards him from the flank at high speed.

"The whole team is assembled and ready to fight! There are enemies on the flanks!" The leading officer shouted loudly. He was an officer who had just left the Imperial Guard. With blond curly hair and a heroic appearance, he didn't show any panic when he heard the voice coming from the flank. Instead, he is very skilled in gathering troops quickly and shows very high command ability.

The number of these Gangfei cavalry is also 500, and they are all the real Guards Cavalry of the Gangfei Emperor, and are well-equipped. He showed no signs of timidity in the face of the oncoming enemy,

In the flash of lightning, the distance between the two sides quickly shortened.

"The whole army attacks!" Just now, the imperial guard cavalry raised their long swords and asked their subordinates to charge in formation with the same sharp arrows. The cavalry from both sides collided heavily, "Kill! Rush in and crush them!" Full of murderous intent The shouts completely tore through the rain at this moment,

The flying hooves of the war horses stamped hard on the ground, and the sharp weapons of the cavalry on both sides collided. The high-speed war horses seemed to have hit an invisible wall, making a shrill neighing sound and rolled to the ground. The cavalry above were thrown down hard, and the sound of tearing the air made the whole space feel like a hell. The powerful weapons roared and pierced hard from both sides of the cavalry's horses,

"Papa"

The cold raindrops were hit by the howling wind on the faces of the cavalry on both sides. The horses were injured, squeezing and rolling in the neighing. The heavy and clumsy bodies fell to the ground, kicking up mud and dust, and blood splashed from the knights passing by on both sides. cum out,

Yagelins shouted and slashed his sword with all his strength, causing a stream of sparks to hit the armor of a captain-level cavalryman on the other side. The sharp edge of the knife was like a bolt of lightning, and it suddenly jumped up. The opponent struggled to avoid this violent blow. An extremely powerful blow, but it was already too late. Bright red blood suddenly shot out from the enemy's neck, and the head with a metal cross on the face flew up to the controller. The horses were restrained, and the horses crossed like light and shadow. The headless figure of the opposite cavalry disappeared from Yaglin's eyes in an instant, and bright red blood spurted from the headless chest into the air. There was no room for the cavalry on both sides to turn around, and there was no obstacle for either side. In the close range impact, blood splashed out from the bodies of both cavalrymen almost at the same time. The armor shattered and the sword flashed.

The sound of "clang" metal colliding was mixed with the shouts of fighting. The two sides were entangled like metal monsters squeezing each other, with swords and swords and shadows, and flesh and blood flying everywhere. The galloping horses fell to the ground in mourning, and the bodies of the cavalry above were crushed like iron cans. Falling off the horse, the shield, the armor, the weapon, the body with the same weight, because of the distance It was too close, and the war horses passed each other. With the high speed of the war horses, all weapons that could hit became powerful weapons to attack the opponent. The Falcon Army cavalry, which had the superior numbers, clearly had the advantage. The Falcon Empire cavalry stepped forward and defeated the opponent. The front end of the powerful arrow penetrated hard and broke it from the middle.

Hundreds of Gangfei cavalry fell, while the Falcon Cavalry only had 30 people. The huge gap in combat power between the two sides could be seen from the slightly pale faces of the other side. The two sides assembled their queues again, and Gangfei, who was leading the team, The guard officer was also a fierce general. He halted his horse on the opposite side, raised his blood-stained sword high, and shouted loudly towards this side.

"I am Captain Rashad of the 1st Cavalry Regiment of the Royal Guards. If I have the ability, I can do it one-on-one. What does it mean to have more people? Or the powerful Falcon Cavalry of Obarro will only rely on the number of people to win." ! "The loud voice resounded across the plains, and its bravery made the Falcon Cavalry here slightly moved.

"One on one, let me do it!" Yaglinsi shook the sword in his hand violently, and a streak of blood hit the ground from the sword,

"you?"

Rashad, the non-guard officer opposite, narrowed his eyes. He could see that the armor on Yaglins was actually the armor of a general. This made his face become more solemn. He quietly walked towards the cavalry behind him. He made a gesture and whispered, "Everyone obeys the order. When the duel begins, everyone will immediately turn around and break out!"

"Captain!" The cavalrymen trembled.

"Obey the order!" Rashad wiped the blood from his forehead with his hand and whispered.

"Don't you see? The opponent is definitely an elite force that has been fighting all year round. They are even better than us in terms of combat power, and they are twice as many as us. Once the opponent uses cavalry crossbows, we will have no chance of returning alive. It is better to bring the news that the fortress is empty than to die here! "

The cavalrymen behind were silent. The reason why the Falcon Empire cavalry is so powerful is not because of its strong close combat capabilities, but because the Falcon Empire cavalry is equipped with cavalry crossbows that can penetrate heavy cavalry. In the same number, the Falcon cavalry can rely on cavalry crossbows to suppress Obarro's All the cavalry, not to mention the opponent's current number is twice that of our own, just one volley, everyone will die!

"Captain! It's too dangerous for you to go up there, so let me go." A cavalryman with a firm face wanted to fight in Rashad's place. But Rasid waved his hand, "It's useless. I am the captain, so the other party is willing to accept the challenge. If it were someone else, the other party would order a charge to kill us all without hesitation!"

"Since you are a warrior! Follow the rules of a warrior! I will not give the order to take action until one of the parties falls." Yaglinsi rode his horse out of the queue slowly and shouted to Sharad on the opposite side,

"I hope you can keep your promise!"

A sly smile appeared on Sharad's lips. He thought that the other party was a arrogant general. Such people often valued their promises and waited until the next fight. If his subordinates break through in full force, the other party will definitely be caught off guard. Even if he will die, it will be enough to at least be able to bring back the situation at Watto Fortress.

"Let's begin!" Sharad shouted with all his strength, raised his sword with all his strength, and galloped towards Yagrinsi in front of him. Jaglins rode his horse past like the wind, and swung his sword. Everyone heard clearly. After the crisp sound of swords clashing, I saw two people passing each other. One of Sharad's arms was broken, and he fell to the ground from his galloping horse.

At the same time, all the Gangfei cavalry, as if they had received a certain signal, turned around in unison and ran for their lives. Yaglinsi glanced thoughtfully at Sharad, who was holding his broken arm, and looked at the cavalry behind him. Raise your hands high

"No, our duel is not over yet. You have to keep your promise! You can't kill my people before the duel is completed." Rashad yelled with blood all over his body, swinging his only remaining arm, angry. call,

"Your efforts are useless, we are faster than them!" Yagelins looked at him. At this moment, all the Falcon Cavalry opposite Rashad felt a sense of tragedy. The Guards officer was protecting his men with his life, and the wind hurt his face.

"I don't care, you must keep your promise!" Rashad looked ferocious. He needed to buy time for his subordinates to escape, even if it was just a few dozen seconds, "poof" a crossbow arrow came from the opposite side, shooting without mercy. It pierced his throat and caused his shouts to stop abruptly. Rashad looked at the archer with bulging eyes.

"Is this the end?" Rashad was at a loss for a while. He heard the sound of his bones breaking, and then his whole body knelt on the ground. His whole body ached, and the bright red blood directly blurred his retinas. Life was in his eyes. His face quickly disappeared, and his mind The path in the family garden that was full of purple-red immortelles emerged, as well as the lover waiting for him at the end of the path. He missed those good times without war, blood, and hunger, and the bloody world spinning around. Shad's body fell to the sky

Opposite him, Yagelins inserted the crossbow with the bow string still trembling in his hand into the weapon slot of the war horse, and glanced at the body of the young guard officer. "You have completed your goal, and they have also got the opportunity to escape. Don't ask for too much." , I can only be disappointed.”

"Everyone, start pursuing with all your strength!"

Yaglinsi shouted to the cavalry behind him, and the imperial cavalry galloped out. The lightly armored imperial cavalry was obviously faster than the running Gang Fei Guards cavalry. Although it was delayed for more than ten seconds, as the distance increased, , arrow clusters were shot from a whole row on the side of the Falcon Cavalry, flying towards the front. The Gangfei cavalry walked away with traces of death. The powerful crossbows shot into the Gangfei cavalry's armor, bringing up a shower of blood. The Gangfei cavalry rolled over from their horses to the ground covered in blood. Some of the Gangfei cavalry began to turn around. , took out the compound bow to fight back, the rumble of horse hooves sounded like the beating of war drums.

The imperial cavalry held their cavalry crossbows with cold expressions. Their eyes were shining with hot red eyes, shining with ruthless light. Their fingers were solemnly pressed on the trigger of the crossbow.

Raindrops hit the face, mixed with moist water vapor and blood. Life and death only happened in an instant. The horses' hooves stepped on the muddy ground, making a crisp sound, and the strong composite bows were drawn out for the full moon. Both sides were calculating the distance. Although the range of the crossbow was better than the compound bow of the Gang Fei cavalry,

But that little distance, in front of the speed of the high-speed horse, is just the time difference between shooting one second earlier and shooting one second later.

Life and death only last for a moment, and the brutality here is no less fierce than the short-blade attacks between the two armies. Human differences are irreparable flaws. Crossbow shooting by the Falcon Army cavalry is a part of daily training. However, the bow shooting of the non-Jiang Guard cavalry has long been reduced to a semi-decorative role. There are very few opportunities to draw a compound bow on the battlefield. The Royal Guards have not been on the battlefield for a long time, regardless of the emperor. His Majesty is also an important minister in the military. He has a special liking for melee combat, so when both sides shouted to shoot almost at the same time, arrow clusters flew horizontally, and the arrowheads on both sides intertwined with each other. Drawing traces of death,

The powerful crossbow shot into the cavalry's armor, causing a shower of blood. A non-guard cavalryman was thrown off the horse from Zhongjian, and the sharp arrows were driven deeply into his chest, one, two..., blood spattered everywhere, and his body had not yet fallen off the horse. A dozen arrow clusters had been inserted, and bloody metal arrows emerged from his back. The cold metallic luster mixed with his hot blood, and the body fell to the ground together with the war horse under his crotch. "Whoosh! Whoosh!" ! Whoosh! "The situation is similar to him. Most of the people who turned back were shot by arrows.

The cavalry in black armor flew past these fallen Gangfei cavalry without mercy, and a Guards cavalry was shot through the lungs by an arrow. He was not dead for a moment, his body was twitching, and pink foam was spitting out from his mouth. He still wanted to reach out and pick up the weapon that fell at his hand.

"Run!" The Guards cavalry shouted in a low voice that only he could hear. The black-armored cavalry was extremely fast and shot out arrows like a volley of arrows. As soon as the companion running in front was hit, There was a stream of blood, and he fell from his horse to the ground with a long hiss. However, the desperate obstruction of these Gang Fei cavalry was still effective. At least some of the cavalry ran out of the shooting range of the crossbow.

Jagelins followed closely with the cavalry. The two groups of cavalry fought several times on the road. The fleeing Gangfei cavalry reduced their number from hundreds to less than ten. Following these desperate Gangfei cavalry, they Guardsmen, after two hours, Jaglins finally On the plain ahead, I saw countless camps. In the middle of the camp, a pure white war flag was flying on the top of a huge military tent. In the middle was a huge black bear head with an open mouth and fangs. The pure white Beautiful and high bear head,

Yagelins stopped the horse, tightened his grip on the horse's reins, and took a deep breath of cold air.

"This is!"

Looking at the flag with some disbelief, Yagelins felt a little unprepared. He originally only followed the escaped dog to find the dog's nest, but unexpectedly he found a bear. Judging from the scale of the camp, it was inhuman. The number of troops should be more than 50,000. Yaglinsi swung his horsewhip. This hornet's nest is really big.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

A cavalry captain came over to ask with a somewhat unnatural expression. The other cavalry captains were also at a loss. The bear was not a symbol of the royal family, and the pure white bear flag in front gave people an extraordinary feeling. Momentum, the White Bear Guards who were not emperor were the target of special attention from above. The few guards who escaped fled into the forward camp with the White Bear flag flying.

"What's wrong? What happened!"

The Gangfei soldiers in the camp pulled their horses hard, and the Guards cavalry on top was already dying.

There were still several arrows stuck in the back of this Guards cavalry, and the blood stained the armor. It was obvious that the situation was very bad. Because he was serving as a front scout, this cavalry had the lightest equipment in the entire squadron, which was also his weakest. The reason for running into the camp first

As several other Guards cavalry rushed into the camp, the chaos at the entrance of the camp attracted the attention of a patrol. A Guards officer came over with a bad look, angrily pushed away the crowd of onlookers, and shouted "What are you doing here? Don't you know the military order prohibiting private gatherings?"

"Well, what's going on?" The officer saw several cavalrymen covered in blood, and recognized one of them as "Lul, the former scout of Sharad's squadron." Sharad was still very famous in the Guards. He is brave, enthusiastic, and shows strong commanding ability. The most important point is that Sharad's father is the current flag commander of the Guards Corps, and his future is extremely bright.

"What happened to you? Where is Captain Sharad? Where are the others?" The officer asked with an ugly face as he felt a sense of foreboding.

A cavalryman's eyes were shining with crystal light, and he lay on the ground covered in blood and cried bitterly. "We found that the Watto Fortress was empty, and then we were ambushed by the enemy's rear cavalry! "Dead, Captain Sharad is dead, The others also died, and we were the only ones left in the entire squadron! "

"What, you said the Falcon Army abandoned Fort Watteau!" The officer's expression changed (To be continued...)
