Realm of Power

In the brightly lit hall, the wind passed through the hall with a hint of autumn. The guards at the door of the hall closed the door from the outside. Inside the hall, dozens of people wearing uniforms of imperial generals were sitting in a strict manner. It was so quiet that even the wind seemed to have stopped. , everyone's eyes turned to Varisien, the empire's first-line general and Governor of Barrow of Central Europe, who stood up on the main seat.

"His Majesty's order, from now on, the entire army will begin to move closer to Istanbul Kyoto!"

Varisien took the order book from his deputy and showed it to all the Imperial generals with a stern expression. He was wearing a straight uniform of the Imperial Commander, with a white thorn flower on the chest. This was the latest one at the beginning of this year. The legion commander's uniform, illuminated by the light in the hall, has a straight collar, making Varisian look like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed.

"The emperor's order!" The eyes of the imperial generals sitting here flashed, and they stood up neatly. Their eyes fell on the order book displayed by Varisien. There was nothing wrong with it. The specific content cannot be clearly seen, but His Majesty the Emperor’s The seal is enough to make the generals immediately cheer up. The dark red falcon seal is indeed the seal that His Majesty carries with him. The dark red paint makes this falcon with spread wings full of excitement under the candlelight. The generals' faces didn't change much in response to this expected order.

The emperor will do its best to rescue Istan Kyoto. This conclusion is known to any soldier now, but it is not easy to rescue Istan Kyoto. According to the intelligence from the front, combined with the news sent by Istan Kyoto, the Southern Allied Forces The layout is basically very clear. The total strength of the southern coalition forces on the opposite side has expanded to 450,000 people, and there are still as many as 200,000 reserve troops gathering towards the center of the Great Plains of Kyoto, Istanbul. It should arrive on the battlefield within ten to twenty days, and the number of coalition troops outside Kyoto, Istanbul, is about 150,000. From this, we can clearly draw a conclusion.

Three hundred thousand coalition troops. Between Kyoto and the Emperor, he was getting ready, waiting for the Emperor to approach Istan Kyoto, just like a hunter waiting for his prey.

"Does everyone understand His Majesty's order?"

Varisien glanced at the faces of all the generals with a solemn expression. Such a result had been expected for a long time. "If the emperor does not rescue Istanbul, the good reputation that the empire has maintained for a long time will be destroyed. The empire may not have much influence on the mainland, but for the Barrow region of Central Europe that has not yet been stabilized, the empire will not be able to do so easily." The newly established ruling order will be like a sand wall without a foundation, falling down as soon as it is pushed.

Such arguments have been widely circulated recently, and Varisien has naturally heard a lot.

This is a naked trap. But the emperor really had no choice and had to jump. Even the imperial generals who didn't care much about politics were already preparing for a sudden attack. Isn't it just a sudden attack? Who is afraid of whom? Although the coalition forces have the advantage, how could the emperor ever Have a fear? Most of the imperial generals sitting here are veterans and officers from the Samor era. The imperial generals who have experienced the iron-blooded baptism of the continental unification war have never known what fear is. If the combat power of the 200,000 imperial front-line troops were exchanged according to the conventional combat power, they would not be at a disadvantage against the 300,000 southern coalition forces, 200,000 versus 300,000. It's time to let those southern troops know what a real assault operation should look like. If the emperor was responsible for attacking Istanbul, Istanbul would have been captured several times by now!

"Yes!" The generals responded in unison with excited expressions, and the conference hall shook with their voices.

"Very good," Varisien nodded with a trace of satisfaction on his face, took out another order book from his body, and said in a solemn voice, "Now read out His Majesty's second combat order. One day after the attack begins, all The army turns south and cuts off the connection between the coalition forces and the base camp! "

"What!" Some generals were stunned for a moment and looked in disbelief, thinking that their ears had heard it wrong. However, the looks on other people's faces showed that they were not the only ones who were shocked. "Turn south? Absolutely brilliant." The idea!" The generals had various expressions on their faces, their heads turned quickly, and they immediately realized what was going on, and their mouths opened with joy.

His Majesty the Emperor is truly worthy of being the God of War. With a small adjustment, the entire strategic layout has undergone earth-shaking changes in an instant.

The advance suddenly turned south with all its strength. How come no one thought of this? Just when everyone thought that the emperor would definitely move towards Istanbul with all his strength, the situation was suddenly reversed. According to the emperor's excellent attack power, he would attack for a day at least. It will also shake the defense of the coalition forces. At the same time, in order to lure the emperor to go deeper, the coalition forces will consume the sharp force of the empire's advance troops. Angry, they must evacuate towards Kyoto while fighting. This is equivalent to invisibly clearing the way for the 300,000 southern coalition troops to connect with the base camp. Even if some defensive forces are left, they will be very limited. The entire empire's army suddenly turned around. South, like a heavy knife that cuts off everything, cuts off the retreat of the coalition forces in one breath, and the 300,000 coalition forces are not crazy! With the escape route cut off, who would have the guts to fight against the walls of Istanbul and Kyoto?

"Then execute the order! Please let the Southern Allied Forces know what a real assault operation is!"

"Yes!" This time, the generals' shouts were more bloody, with murderous intent. They felt helpless at first, but now they had already flown to nowhere.

On July 3, under the hope of the southern allied generals, the emperor, who had always been condescending, finally gave up his defensive posture and began to move out. Two hundred thousand emperors, with countless imperial flags, marched along the line outside Kyoto, Istanbul. , the military flags are rolled up, the battle flags are laid out, the soldiers and horses standing like a forest emerge in the dawn light, flashing swords and armors, hunting the fluttering falcon battle flags in the morning wind, the imperial army begins to attack, according to After setting up a plan, the southern coalition's outer line only offered symbolic resistance for one day and chose to retreat. The Imperial Army entered the outskirts of Istanbul and Kyoto. However, the next day, new news came, and the coalition suddenly became stupid. Yesterday, it was aggressive and aggressive. The 200,000 emperors who were attacking Istanbul had secretly turned around at night. The front of the soldiers cut across like a sharp sword, turning the two fortresses guarding the coalition's rear route into a hornet's nest.

"The road back has been cut!" The 300,000-strong coalition army couldn't sit still. No one expected that the emperor would be so shameless, 300,000 people. Including the number of troops besieging Kyoto, that is half a million, and the daily consumption of supplies is simply astronomical, and they are cut off for a day. It's enough to cause turmoil in the army

The weather is fine with light wind and clear clouds, and the sight is enough to see an area of ​​five or six miles.

"Coming!"

Varisien immediately stood up high, looking at the Southern Alliance flag in the distance like waves, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The Southern Allied Forces suddenly turned to attack Istanbul Kyoto, which was indeed beyond his expectation. They knew clearly that there was a trap ahead, but they still had to step on it. This was what troubled this important general of the empire. Now it's okay, the emperor's hand is light With just one move, the enemy's trap suddenly becomes the enemy's deathbed. His hands turn into clouds and his hands turn into rain. As His Majesty's enemy. How sad! Varisien felt a moment of silence for the Southern Allied Forces on the opposite side. The general direction of the war had been determined, and then there was the issue of execution. In terms of rich combat experience, who could be more rich than the experienced imperial generals?

The emperor let go and asked everyone to move towards Istanbul with all their strength, which undoubtedly meant that everyone can perform to their heart's content! Five hundred and seventy imperial ballistae, two hundred and forty honeycomb arrow carriages. There are also a total of 21,000 crossbow arrows and 3,000 imperial special crossbow arrows, so you can perform as much as you want. . . . . That wouldn't make those confident Southern Allied Forces happy!

The coalition troops began to appear from the scheduled combat locations, and combat teams came out all the way. Discovering that the emperor was waiting in front, they spread out their formations on the plain. The messengers rode horses and galloped between the phalanxes, shouting: "Get ready!" The infantrymen raised their spears uniformly, and there was a piece of steel above the phalanx. An icy flash. The cavalry began to spread out on both wings as reserves for counterattack, and rows of raised sabers were as bright as snow. Like a dazzling strip of light,

The ground trembled slightly as the 60,000 Aden camel cavalry stepped on it. On top of the camel, which is taller than the war horse, there are cavalrymen in armor holding huge machetes, and the smoke from the hooves of thousands of camels fills the air.

"The tip of the spear points forward, bending down to meet the enemy."

The officers of the Kingdom of Harvey shouted in the ears of the Harvey soldiers. The soldiers nailed their feet more firmly to the ground and held their spears tightly. Everyone's hearts were beating wildly as they watched. In front of the black legion like thick clouds, the teeth of the soldiers in the front row involuntarily made a "clucking" sound, and their faces turned pale.

"Kill those who retreat!" Behind the phalanx, the military judge supervising the battle ordered the military police to form a skirmish line, and the bright arrows were pointed at the backs of the soldiers in front.

"Wishes last forever"

The 80,000 white-armored Wish Tree Legion shouted in unison, as if huge and neat steel phalanxes were formed in an instant, covering the entire bay plain.

"Asshole, what is this!" Prince Damask of the Ikar Kingdom looked at the black clouds in front of him angrily. The Ikar infantry under his command were all light infantry, capable of defense but lacking in attack power. They were originally only used as auxiliary units. They were on the front line, but now, the fastest Ikar light infantry also had to face a tough battle.

The hunter suddenly turned into the prey. He originally dug a trap and waited for the emperor, but now it was all in vain. He still had to fight his way back and conquered the entire central and northern parts of Obarro's powerful legion. The mighty Falcon Empire The division has fought thousands of miles and destroyed the country along the way. The murderous aura condensed from hundreds of battles can put such heavy pressure on people just by forming an array. Can this battle really be won?

"Don't be afraid, they don't have as many people as us, they don't have Thor, kill them all, kill them all!" The encouraging voice from the officer made the soldiers look better. They had heard too many rumors about the Empire's Thor. , so that most of the soldiers in the coalition believed that the Emperor relied on the God of Thunder to fight. Now that he heard that the Emperor did not have the God of Thunder, the fear in his heart was suddenly swept away.

"Forward!" The first to launch the attack was the most courageous Harvey Army. Dozens of infantry teams lined up and marched forward in unison. The spear phalanx was lit up above each infantry team in an extremely orderly manner. Above each square, flying the military flag of the Kingdom of Harvey, "Shield" "Card!" Following the command of the frontline officer, the Harvey heavy infantrymen in the front row raised their long steel shields in unison, like a copper wall, and walked as neatly as one person, beating the dull drum of "dong dong, dong dong". The sound is majestic and advancing, as if one mountain after another is gradually approaching.

"My wish remains, kill those enemies of God!"

A loud voice, with panic and prestige, spread across the battlefield, and a middle-aged blond Templar wearing silver armor appeared at the forefront of the Templar Army. Compared to the Harvey Army, the Wish Tree Order Nation was at its peak. His military appearance is even more shocking. The death of the Pope’s biological father, the Grand Knight Commander of Luoshan, seriously stimulated the nation of the Wish Tree Order. , this time they dispatched 80,000 Templar troops in one go, which is almost more than half of the entire Order Nation's troops. There is also the Grand Knight Commander Pema among the three knight commanders. This fifty-year-old Grand Knight Commander, in the Holy Order, The prestige in the Temple Army is very high. Many Templar Knights are its disciples. They are called "Golden Lions" because of their blond hair.

"Go forward and kill the enemies of God!" Hearing the voice of Commander Pima, the Templar Knights drew their swords one after another. Courage, glory, loyalty, and eternal wishes! As the uniform voices continued to sound, the faces of these Temple Kingdom soldiers gradually began to become fanatical. They held shields in their hands and moved faster and faster.

"Charge!" Smoke and dust filled the air, and 60,000 camel cavalrymen from the Kingdom of Aden rushed towards the opposing emperor's battle line like a torrent. One by one, the camel cavalrymen raised their machetes high and waved exciting circling movements. With the light of the sword, even in the torrent of galloping, countless crazy camel cavalry were holding back their energy, trying to express their posture fully to the emperor on the opposite side.

The camels ran in an orderly manner, but the advancing queue was not neat, like a large group rolling forward, but like magic, the camels were very close to each other without touching each other, and the cavalry also bumped up and down.

The camel cavalry's eyes were narrowed by the wind, but the eyes of these camel cavalry only saw the red line of blood and killing.

As a kingdom made up of an oasis, the Kingdom of Aden has a cheerful and unrestrained character. The Imperial Formation that is getting closer and closer across the way, in their eyes, is a prey waiting for death.

The impact of 60,000 armored camel cavalry makes any array a joke. Even some heavily armed units may not be able to withstand the camels (to be continued.)
