Realm of Power

After receiving the order, the Falcon Empire troops began to abandon the sections of the city they were guarding in an orderly manner, leaving only a small number of sentries on the city wall to confuse the enemy. The firelight on the city road shone on Bertrand Bonnie's cold and beautiful face. Pian Guangming is divided into two parts, east and west, centered on the wide and long wall of the fortress.

To the west is the brightly lit camp of more than 100,000 people from the coalition forces. To the east are the imperial soldiers in the fortress loading various supplies onto carriages. All the horses used by Yagelinsi's Guards Banner Regiment to pull Thor were used. The war horses spewed white smoke in the cold night, pawing their front hooves uneasily. People came and went in the fortress, and tens of thousands of legions were mobilized at once. It was like an ant nest exploding. In order to avoid chaos during the retreat, Reposti personally directed the people coming and going. The wounded soldiers were loaded into carriages, and carriages loaded with items were crushed and fluttered at the same time. On the ground covered with heavy snow, flanked by escorting infantry teams, they turned neatly under orders, swayed and gradually disappeared into the darkness.

Reposti breathed a sigh of relief into her hands, wearing a black general's armor. Surrounded by several subordinates, she walked towards Bertrand Bonnie, who was alone on the city wall. She saw Bertrand Bonnie wearing a dark gold female knight's armor. , standing at the entrance of the battlements, his hand gently caressing a thunder god placed at the entrance of the battlements, his eyes were complicated and difficult to understand.

"Sir, the supplies and wounded soldiers have been transported! It's time for us to set off!"

Riposti saluted Bonnie Berlant. Large snowflakes began to fall in the sky in the middle of the night. A layer of red ice condensed on the city road at low temperatures. When someone stepped on it, it made a clear crunching sound. , Bertrand Bonnie took a deep breath, He took over the snow-proof cloak from a charming female knight behind him and glanced at the city wall for the last time. In the daytime battle, the coalition suffered more than 25,000 casualties here. The wave-like offensive never paused, and the Falcon Emperor* *There were also thirteen to four thousand casualties. Several powerful squadrons of the Central Army were crippled, and two squadrons from the northwest region were completely wiped out. The blood of countless warriors was congealing in this cold night.

During the day, tens of thousands of people fought desperately to snatch the city wall, but now only the bursting cold wind was howling. The strength gap between the two sides was too big. The combat power shown by the coalition forces was surprising. Even if there was no order to retreat, the emperor was still prepared. After evacuating, the only difference is whether to order the thunder god on the city wall to be blown up during the retreat. There was a whistle in the distance. This indicates that the last sentinels on the wall are withdrawing,

Heavy snow was falling, and the ground was covered with white leaves. The evacuated sentries extinguished the torches on the city wall one by one. The black Imperial Thunder God of Gate Gate still stood on each section of the city like a sentinel, and the dark metallic luster shone under the light of the torches on the top of the city. The cold is moving, and as the last fire goes out, everything finally turns into a blur of darkness that cannot be seen.

"Let's go!" Bonnie looked sternly and turned towards the city road. After getting on the prepared war horse, others followed closely and mounted their horses one after another. Reposti turned around and said to a group of fortress gate guards who were still in formation and said, "It can be executed. Use gravel to block the fortress gate!" "

"Yes, sir!" the captain of this group of soldiers said with a respectful expression. The city roads on both sides of the fortress gate had long been filled with various stones. The captain raised his hands to both sides. The soldiers behind the stones pushed all the stones down. The stones fell one after another, and smoke and dust flew up behind the smashed city gate.

"What a pity. Those are 200 Thunder Gods! Forget it, this is all decided by the higher-ups, why should I worry!" The infantry captain raised his eyes and glanced at the black shadow on the city wall, then looked towards the city roads on both sides. The soldiers who finished pushing the stones waved, "Withdraw, brothers!"

The Falcon Emperor gave up on Edgar overnight. Although Marquis Fit gave an order to conquer this barrier fortress within two to three days, the Falcon Emperor did not hold on for even a day. This was something the coalition did not expect. of,

When the guard told him the good news, he even stopped his usual habit of discussing matters after breakfast. Instead, he dropped the steaming food that had just been served and went directly to the front of the fortress a hundred meters away. Distance, he wanted to observe closely in person! If the guards hadn't tried their best to stop him, he might have run fifty meters away to see more clearly.

The generals of the coalition forces also heard the news at this time, and they all ran out, stretching their necks to look at the empty fortress ahead.

"I really didn't see anyone. Could it be that the Falcon Army withdrew?"

"No way, the Falcon Army gave up the Edgar Barrier so easily?"

The generals were whispering, and none of them could believe their eyes, but there was a swaying fortress, and the leading light infantry of the coalition forces had already rushed towards the fortress wall in a swarm. Hooks and ladders were set up, and the coalition forces lightly The infantrymen climbed up the city wall, but there was still no movement on the city wall. It didn't look like there was an ambush!

Marquis Feite vaguely felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong! The temptation of the God of Thunder has focused all his thoughts on it. One door of the God of Thunder is equal to fifty thousand gold coins, one hundred doors is equal to five million, and if it is two hundred doors, it is. . . . . Marquis Fit swallowed hard and looked at the Imperial Thors on the crenellations of the fortress wall. The fingers of his hands were squeezed together unconsciously, and his eyes were shining brightly. That must be the Thors! Judging from the number, there are at least 150 thunder gods in the fortress! When the Falcon Emperor evacuated, he was so panicked that he ran away without destroying Thor?

At this moment, the adjutant next to him pointed at the city wall with an excited expression. He shouted ""Sir, look! Our people rushed forward. There was no situation, no situation at all! "

Following the adjutant's finger, Marquis Fit saw a coalition flag rising slowly from a watchtower on top of the city. He was the first light infantry to enter the fortress. The gesture indicated that the fortress was indeed occupied by Falcon. The emperor abandoned, and also abandoned hundreds of thunder gods! These precious weapons, which cost up to 50,000 gold coins on the black market, are now lying quietly on the battlements. Thinking of this, not only Marquis Fit's eyes began to become bloodshot, but the breathing of the coalition generals also became rapid, and millions of The gold coins are lying on it, who wouldn't be moved?

Although they are all coalition forces, in this case, it is obvious that whoever gets it first will get it. When they thought of this, the generals suddenly became anxious. "Order the entire army to move in! Occupy the fortress and fort." There are already generals in the coalition forces who have no regard for their demeanor. shouted, everyone rushed forward, seized a Thor, and was promoted to captain! The officer was promoted to level three! "

"Everyone comes forward. The reward for grabbing a Thunder God is one thousand gold coins!" Various voices came and went from the coalition forces, and there was a din. Hundreds of thousands of troops rushed towards the fortress like crazy. It no longer mattered about the formation. The generals even planned it themselves. Horses drove the soldiers forward, holding colorful military flags. They climbed up the fortress wall without setting up the city ladder. There were too many people, and many of them stepped on the hands of the people below. From time to time, you could see people falling from high places. . The 200 thunder gods left on the city wall really made the coalition forces go crazy. "Hurry up, don't block the road in front!" The dissatisfied shouts of other companions came from behind,

Because the city road was narrow, the coalition soldiers were crowded. In order to snatch the Thor, there were many fights between the two sides. The four large shooting turrets with the Thor were the focus of the robbery, and they were crowded with crazy coalition soldiers everywhere. They all scrambled to climb up at all costs, even though there were people standing on top, they were squeezed in and climbed up again. They forcibly pulled down the people on top and pushed them down.

"This is the spoils of war for us Ruila people, everyone above, get down!" the occupiers below the fort shouted. But the people above don't take them seriously at all. "That's nonsense, why are they from you Ruila people!"

"I am from the Seventh Army of the Allied Forces, this is ours!" Some of the officers leading the team shouted the numbers of their own troops. Then he commanded the soldiers behind him to rush forward and drive away people who were not from his own country. At the beginning, this kind of conflict was limited to mutual insults, but as the insults escalated, some people began to take action, "Damn, This shit belongs to you, everyone rush up and drive these bastards away! "The people above were not to be outdone. The officer loudly ordered his subordinates to form a queue to block the oncoming crowd.

"Asshole, kill them!"

Some angry soldiers on the fort pulled out their weapons. What was originally a friendly team had completely turned into enemies.

These are all warriors who fought hard in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the battlefield. They are strong-blooded and unafraid of death. They have never flinched even in the face of arrows flying all over the sky. But now their eyes are red. One fort has two Ten Thunder Gods, "After killing them, whoever stops me from going up? I will recognize him, but my spear will not recognize him!" The unfortunate man who was at a disadvantage immediately pulled out his weapon and

"Damn it, who's afraid of who?"

The people above picked up the spears in their hands and stabbed the surging crowd below. Amidst the chaos and noise, the coalition forces started fighting on their own. Although it was a small-scale fight of hundreds of people at the beginning, the bullied party soon summoned When more companions come, the other party will also have more companions coming.

Many coalition soldiers who were pushed down the battlements screamed and fell from high places. There were too many people, and most of the murderers were not held accountable. Hundreds or more lives were lost at this moment. He was killed inexplicably. Ruila's army had the best equipment and numbers. First, two forts were captured and the roads leading to them were blocked. Of the other two forts, one was captured by tough non-Tallin mercenaries, and the other was divided among the three countries. As for the battlement entrance It’s impossible to count the scattered thunder gods on the ground, they are fighting everywhere,

When everything calmed down, the coalition forces made an embarrassing calculation and found that the casualties caused by the robbery of Thor were more than 2,000, and several officers at the level of squadron leaders were even killed.

"What a nonsense... From now on, no one is allowed to mention this matter!" Marquis Fit also called a meeting with the generals with a gloomy face, saying that everyone should not fight, the God of Thunder has been divided up, this kind of cannibalism After all, it is not honorable. Although the amounts obtained are different, all countries have obtained more or less, and some have more than twenty or thirty gates, such as The non-Tallin Kingdom is that. The non-Tallin soldiers are already tough and have rich combat experience. They directly targeted the forts and captured one of the four turrets in one go, capturing twenty-five Imperial Thors. However, the non-Tallin soldiers Few, many teams wanted to come over and grab it. The non-Tallin mercenaries were the first to draw their knives, killing the surrounding coalition soldiers and running away as if they had seen ghosts.

Logically speaking, the coalition countries should be very friendly towards non-Tallin people, but the actual situation is that generals from many countries have approached Ambata, the non-Tallin general, and kindly expressed their willingness to bid to buy all these thunder gods. As for casualties and so on, there was no mention at all! These are all achievements. The more points you have, the more weight you have. Who cares about the life and death of the soldiers? Let’s get the merits first. Non-Tallinians are famous for producing war mercenaries. Human lives can be sold. What else can’t be traded? of. In this big brawl, even King Silas, who has always had loose military discipline and extremely poor combat effectiveness, burst out with staggering combat effectiveness and managed to grab three gates. His leading general Amelia expressed confidently that this It was a major victory for the Kingdom of Silas, and he wanted to personally escort the three-door Falcon Empire Thundergod as a trophy to the king. Glory to Silas forever

After the large and small interests were divided up, the impact of this incident was suppressed by the joint efforts of all coalition forces. It seemed that there was no big fluctuation, but there were only more than 2,000 casualties. For the main force of the coalition, which numbered more than 100,000, it was too small to count, but the atmosphere of seamless cooperation between all parties in the coalition had disappeared.

"Lord Fit, since Edgar has been captured, when are we going to go back!" At the meeting, the generals began to express impatiently that it was time to withdraw, you see. The Edgar Barrier has been taken, and the proud record of capturing the Imperial Thunder God has also been achieved. No matter from which aspect, this is a great victory that is enough to shock the entire Oparo.

"It's okay to retreat. Who will hold Edgar and provide a barrier for the army to retreat!" Marquis Fitt's eyes were gloomy and he took a deep breath. Looking at the coalition generals

"this...."

The generals of the coalition forces lowered their heads one after another, thinking that they would receive the most solemn courtesy when they returned to the country, and that promotion to the rank of officer would be just around the corner. The hearts of the generals were as if they were returning home. No one wanted to stay at the Edgar Barrier for one more day, which was hundreds of miles away from the border and could face retaliation from a powerful empire at any time.

"If you gentlemen can rest assured, our army is willing to garrison Edgar as a barrier for the army!" Just as the generals were looking ugly, a thin figure stood up. It was Ambata from the Kingdom of Tallinn.

"That's great. General Ambata is willing to provide a barrier for the army, so there will be no problem at all!" The generals' faces relaxed. Non-Talin people have always been good at fighting. Although there are only two thousand people participating in the coalition this time, Talking about combat power It is not inferior to the tens of thousands of people from ordinary countries in the coalition. Anyway, it is just a barrier at the rear. It is nothing more than blocking the main force of the Falcon Army from counterattack. As long as it can be delayed for a day or two, the coalition will be far away. Who cares then? Life and death for Tallinn people!

Ambata took in everyone's expressions, paused in his voice, and smiled slightly: "My lords, our army has limited strength, and this time it is a barrier for the army. It can be said that I have a narrow escape. I am not from Tallinn and have always been a mercenary as a profession. Fighting I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of giving in vain.

"The coalition will not sit back and watch the warriors die in vain. As long as General Ambata is willing to stay, our Kingdom of Ruila is willing to pay 50,000 military expenses. As for other countries..." Marquis Fit's voice paused, and the other generals thought At the Shenhui, they all expressed their willingness to provide military expenses to Tallinn. Marquis Fit even said that the 50,000 military expenses were moved with the coalition's frontline base camp and would arrive tomorrow.

"Fifty thousand gold coins? Ambata's eyes flickered, with an imperceptible chill.

"General Ambata, this has already ruined the market!" In the end, the coalition generals were even a little dissatisfied! said

"Okay, just 50,000 gold coins. When the army evacuates tomorrow! I hope to see these life-saving money!" Ambata left the meeting bench with a serious face. When he saw him leaving, no one said anything to stop him, and there were even some The coalition general sneered from behind, “When did the lives of non-Tallinians become so expensive? Knowing that the price of non-Tallin mercenaries on the market, even skilled mercenaries with strong combat capabilities are only two to five gold coins. We use 50,000 gold coins to buy only 2,000 non-Tallin mercenaries at such a high price, and that’s just In a few days, a war may not break out, but it still seems like we have made a profit!”

"Haha..." Low laughter came from the conference room. No one noticed. In the dark shadow outside the corner of the fortress corridor, Ambata heard the roar of laughter coming from the conference hall behind him, and the corner of his mouth smiled slightly. Grinning, smile, laugh as much as you want, two thousand lives of non-Tallin people are only worth fifty thousand gold coins, which is probably not as much as the jewelry you guys buy for your lovers, but from now on, non-Tallin people Human life will no longer be cheap,

On January 25, with white flakes of snow falling on the ground, the main force assembled at Edgar Fortress began to take action. Early morning hours. The army began to move out. Tens of thousands of coalition troops poured out of the fortress, their sharp armor flowing and emerging in the deep fog, as if adding a river of light to the earth.

You take the benefits yourself, and others take the blame for the disadvantages. If the coalition forces still had the idea of ​​unity before taking Edgar, such thoughts are long gone now. The Falcon Empire, a powerful empire that rose in the northwest of Obarro, has never been Not a good person,

The battle in the Southern Great Lakes region had already frightened the coalition forces. This time, the coalition forces relied on their absolute superiority to capture the Edgar Barrier. They only took advantage of the strength of the troops. However, the Falcon Empire still has a main force of 100,000 in the southwest region. This force Once the new force joins, the entire war situation is very likely to be reversed.

Although the Edgar barrier is strong, it cannot stop the cluster bombardment of the Falcon Empire's Thunder God. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
