Realm of Power

Hundreds of miles of great plains, with winding rivers running through it. Both sides of the river are fertile soil most suitable for planting, and large lattice-shaped fields are reflected in the sun.

Only the wind is blowing in the quiet air. Bathed in the bright sunshine of autumn, the Great Plains of Istanbul and Kyoto can definitely be described as a huge and boundless flower bed. Various colors are spread from the feet to the invisible end. There is a hint of autumn red in the forest, and outside the huge city wall extending out from Istanbul, there is nothing heavy in the fertile land. Instead of the golden ears of wheat in the field, they were flat pieces that had been vacated in advance, broken swords, the remains of burned siege equipment, and the traces left by the Southern Allied cavalry galloping across the plains. The flat grass and shrubs were left with broken guns, broken arrows and black corpses everywhere. A pile of corpses covered the originally yellow high slope.

After the emperor went south to cut off the retreat, the southern coalition forces in the direction of Istanbul stopped attacking Istanbul. The purpose of attacking Istanbul was to attract the emperor. If the emperor went south, it would be meaningless to continue the attack, and the coalition forces were in a brief panic. After that, he suddenly calmed down and did not attack. To attack Istanbul and Kyoto, the troops are not required to forcibly break through the obstacles to the south. Just as the fat man predicted, the coalition forces are delaying their own life-saving time. The coalition generals are not fools, but the situation before them is so obvious that It's hard to take people's eyes away from this,

In the combat camp of the Southern Allied Forces, the commander-in-chief of the Aden Army, Duke Jinghua, looked away from the combat situation map hanging on the wall, put down the crystal cup inlaid with dazzling silver in his hand, and said with a smile to the generals sitting around him, "Now you can Definitely, the emperor took a step and made a mistake , it is said that Emperor Commander Varisien is a well-known mainland general who has experienced many battles. In order to get out of the predicament, he forcibly cut in between our army and the base camp. Doesn’t he know that now we only need to wait for the reinforcements from the base camp to arrive? This will form a pincer attack on these 200,000 emperors."

"I think this is what the emperor meant."

Sitting on the left is the tall and straight figure of Duke Fetai, the mad lion of the Harvey Kingdom. For every two people who watch romance, one has registered an account on °.com. Like a sculpture, he said with sharp eyes, "Actually, this is not difficult to understand. If the situation is reversed, in order to maintain the credibility of the empire, front-line combat generals will also be forced to execute irrational orders. Varisien is a human being, but he is not God, if you want to attack an opponent with 400,000 troops with 200,000 troops, it will not be easy except for the dangerous situation. Although cutting south is a dangerous move, and we will fall into a dilemma of being attacked from both sides at any time, at least in a short period of time, it can temporarily delay the progress of our attack on Kyoto, Istanbul. The opponent's goal has been achieved, and we I believe that Varisien will not simply sit back and wait for death, and the emperor will definitely choose to break out in the next few days."

"Duke Feitai is right, the emperor will definitely break through, we need to stop it, otherwise all our efforts will be wasted," said Duke Jinghua, the commander-in-chief of the Aden Army,

"Hold it?" Ma Li's words made other people express their emotions. Blocking the emperor from breaking through is definitely a hard job. If you think about it, you know that once the 200,000 elite elite troops of the empire who were forced into a desperate situation to survive tried to break out, it would be like a flood breaking out of the embankment. . Thinking about the terrifying arrow rain and the sharp and outrageous attack power of the Emperor a few days ago, even the Harvey Army, which is mainly composed of heavy-armed troops, may not have the courage to block its sharpness, let alone 200,000 People pressed forward with all their strength. The biggest problem is that even if the blocking is successful in the end, not to mention the heavy casualties, I am afraid that I will be powerless by the time the time comes and I will suffer huge losses. Who would do such a thing without getting any benefits?

"The emperor's combat power is too strong. When the emperor broke through with 200,000 people, our Martin Liya army only had 50,000 people, and half of them were archers. We can only express our powerlessness." The one who laughed was Martin Liya. Andreus, the great monarch of the kingdom, looked like he was picking up a cup of red blood from the table. Like wine, he drank it all in one gulp. He knew what these guys were thinking. Since the war began, Martin's army had suffered the least losses, mainly because they were all the private armies of the great monarch Andrius and did not have enough bargaining chips. , how could a cunning man like the great monarch Andrius send his private army?

"If you say so, I, Ikar, are all light infantry, and I am even more powerless to stop it. Naturally, I am powerless." Prince Max said quickly with a happy face,

The other generals were silent;

"With this attitude, there is no need to continue this meeting."

The commander-in-chief of the Aden Army, Duke Jinghua, stood up from his seat angrily. He glanced over with a cold look on his face. In the battle ahead, the Aden Army suffered the greatest losses. More than 8,000 of the 60,000 camel cavalry were killed in one hit, and even the emperor was still alive. I haven't even touched the edges of it, and now I have become the laughing stock of the entire coalition.

"I don't believe that the emperors are all blind. They would take the initiative to choose our Aden Army as a breakthrough point. Then we can see who will be the unluckiest." Duke Mali gave the Ikar people a fierce look.

Hearing Ma Li's words, Ilka's Prince Max's face changed. He secretly regretted that he should not have expressed his stance too early. This time it was troublesome. Among the six teams, Ilka's army was the weakest. As Ma Li said, Once the emperor chooses to break out, he will inevitably choose the weakest one. The weakest one is undoubtedly Ikar. Thinking that he will soon face 200,000 The emperor's attack caused beads of sweat to appear on Prince Max's forehead. He quickly said with a smile, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that. I just think that it is not any attempt to cut off the 200,000 emperors' breakout in one go." What a country can accomplish can only be achieved by everyone working together. As long as the meeting is decided, I, the Ikar Army, will fully cooperate."

"Indeed, it is very difficult for any country to bear the heavy burden of stopping the emperor. We need a unified plan." Duke Feitai, the commander-in-chief of Harvey Army, said in a serious voice. "I, Feitai, propose here, no matter who is ultimately responsible for it." Whichever army comes to stop him, half of the spoils obtained by the coalition forces from defeating the emperor will belong to him."

"Half the spoils of war." The generals of other kingdoms all took a breath of air. Half of the spoils of the two hundred thousand emperors, how much is that?

"Half of the loot, isn't it too..." Duke Max of Ikar looked ugly, hesitating what he wanted to say. He didn't get much loot in the first place, but now he has to take out half of it, but he can't go back and explain. ah

Duke Feitai knew what he was thinking, and looked at him with a sneer on his lips. He snorted coldly and said, "If Duke Max has any objections to this suggestion, then let the Ikar Army do it. I, Feitai, can guarantee here, half of the loot. Not a single gold coin will be missing. But if the Ikar Army If you can’t take the responsibility, then it’s best to shut up.”

"Although half of the loot is a bit much, it's acceptable." The great monarch Anliu closed his eyes. After coming over for a few seconds, he opened them violently. He said solemnly, with a hint of imperceptible understanding flashing through his eyes. This guy Feitai is indeed cunning enough to give up half of the loot in one go. With such a tempting pit, the Aden people, who are always known for their greed, really have no worries. Jumping in, this time the coalition forces sent troops to Istanbul, the Kingdom of Harvey sent the most quickly, but when it comes to strength. The Aden people are still stronger. No matter how you calculate it, Harvey's army is just an infantry group.

As for the 60,000 camel cavalry dispatched by the Aden people in one go, one camel cavalry is equal to three infantrymen. Harvey's army was not enough. Naturally, the Aden people did this not just to show their wealth, but also because the Aden people To take the lead in the coalition forces,

To know. In the full pursuit after defeating the emperor, the infantry could not escape the cavalry, not to mention the camel, a creature known as the desert boat, which is famous for its patience. Once the emperor collapses, the camel cavalry of the Aden people may even attack the Eastern Province directly in one go and hit Feishan directly. At that time, the infantry of other countries will be defeated. It is possible that they have just arrived at the edge of the Eastern Province. How many remnants of the areas that the Aden people have swept through are left to other countries?

On the contrary, the Aden Army is invincible all the way. With the momentum of the southern coalition, the Aden people can quickly support the pro-Aden puppets in Feishan before the main force of the coalition arrives. By then, the other southern countries will just pick up some incomplete spoils. The Aden people swallowed up the Eastern Province and the entire Feishan Kingdom in one go. The total land area of ​​the two regions is almost the territory of the Kingdom of Harvey. The profits are endless. Even if the coalition forces are re-divided afterwards, the Aden people have the greatest advantage, and naturally the largest area will be divided in the end. If they didn't have such considerations, how could the Adenites suppress 60,000 camel cavalry in one breath?

The ambitions of the people of Aden are so great, how can the people of Harvey let them get their way?

Even if they can't consume them all, at least they should make it impossible for the Aden people to expand the results of the battle. This is what it means. Andrius blinked and glanced at the mad lion Duke Feitai opposite.

"Half of the loot? If that's the case, our Aden Army can barely accept it." As expected, Duke Jinghua of the Aden Army, who had an angry face just now, heard that he could get half of the loot, and his eyes suddenly lit up, revealing A bit unbearably excited,

In his opinion, the battle situation has been completely ordered. If the emperor goes south easily, he will be put to death at once. If he is caught in a double attack, he is definitely dead. So what he has to consider now is not how to attack the emperor, but how to attack him here. In this huge victory, he grabbed the greatest benefits for himself,

Being attacked from two sides and panicking like a bereaved dog, how much fighting power does the emperor still have? By then, he can defeat the Duke of Jinghua without a single charge. He has such confidence in his horse power. Although nearly one-fifth of the 60,000 camel cavalry were lost in the battle, There is enough left to gallop on such a plain,

It is said that the emperor's weapons and ordnance are the first in the continent, with 200,000 emperors. The number of ordnance is impossible to calculate. Just this amount is already an astronomical figure, not to mention the empire's Eastern Province and Feishan area. After losing the emperor After being protected by the main force, in front of his own camel cavalry, he was simply It is an area that is easily accessible. In the Kingdom of Aden, the dukedom is not the largest. The largest is a great monarch like Anliu. Once he can capture Feishan and the Eastern Province, Duke Mali is confident that his entire kingdom will be conquered. The title of Duke of Flowers should be replaced by the title of King of Flowers.

"Then let's agree that the Aden Army will be responsible for this blockade, and other armies will provide full assistance. Half of the spoils will go to the Aden Army." Feitai, the Duke of Mad Lion, said with a serious look on his face, looking at the faces of the generals present one by one. past,

"No problem" the generals replied in unison

"Then, let's all go back and prepare. Within three days, the Emperor should be able to break through and succeed or fail in one fell swoop." With strong confidence on his face, the mad lion Feitai slammed his fist on the table and said sternly, but he As soon as he finished speaking, an attendant hurriedly followed He ran in from the outside and whispered in his ear, "Sir, I just received the battle report. The coalition base camp was attacked again by the Hungarian cavalry. The Hungarian cavalry used thunder to blast open the camp barriers. The cavalry rushed into the camp. Our troops suffered casualties. The tragedy was so severe that we had to move to the south again.”

"What"

The mad lion Feitai looked in disbelief and was stunned for several seconds. Although the main force was deployed, the base camp was still guarded by 20,000 to 30,000 troops, and a rock barrier was built to withstand the impact of the cavalry. Why? Said, it shouldn’t be defeated at the first touch. The Hungarian cavalry led the Thor to attack the coalition base camp. What happened? The base camp was forced to move south. Doesn’t that mean that this time hundreds of thousands of southern coalition forces The army was truly cut off. The expected pincer attack with the base camp suddenly disappeared without a trace. What made the mad lion Feitai feel most anxious was that if he had previously thought that the emperor was forcibly Going south to cut off the retreat is asking for death. So now we have to consider another question. Is the emperor really going to eat the 400,000 southern coalition troops isolated in Istanbul in one go?

Using 200,000 troops to eat up 400,000 troops is no longer a tactic, it is a crazy fantasy. . . . . . The mad lion Feitai was scolding fiercely in his heart, but his hands were trembling and clenched together unconsciously. Once upon a time, there were 300,000 Feishan people like this in the Bavalid area on the border of the Feishan Kingdom. Think about it, and now, isn't it the same way that the 100,000 Emperor's head was chopped off? With such a vanguard, who dares to say that the 200,000 Emperor's army cannot swallow the 400,000 Southern Allied Forces?

"You go down first." The mad lion Feitai waved his hands like a deflated rubber ball. His face seemed to have aged by more than ten years. The situation was so obvious. If it weren't for the complete isolation of the southern part of Istanbul in Kyoto, Allied forces, what's the point of the emperor's attack on the base camp?

"What's going on?" The generals sitting here looked at each other for a moment. They were all surprised at Fei Tai's change, and an ominous premonition arose in their hearts.

At the door, another attendant ran in from the outside and whispered in the ear of Prince Max of Ikar, "How is it possible that the base camp abandoned us and retreated south?" Prince Max seemed to have his tail burned. Jumping like a rabbit, to be continued.
