Realm of Power

On a hilltop surrounded by Feize's army, a Paput nobleman knelt on the ground covered in mud. He threw the weapon in his hand and said, "I surrender. I am the Marquis of Papute. I demand to be treated as a noble." "The noble shouted. Although he was embarrassed, he was not afraid. He was the commander of the Paput army, the Marquis of Kudia.

It is unlucky to say that because the Marquis of Kudia heard the news that the Fezer army had abandoned the royal capital, he hurried north with his own army, hoping to seize the royal capital that the Fezer army had abandoned before everyone else. In this way, Kudiya was the first hero to counterattack the royal capital, but he didn't expect to be so unlucky that he actually ran into the fifth legion guarding the flanks of Feize's army.

Feize's Fifth Army thought it was encountering an imperial attack, so it naturally went all out, but who knew that it was actually a group of semi-militia Papute volunteers who easily defeated the Marquis of Kudia in the turbulence. He ran to the hill with more than 2,000 people, but was chased by the Fezer Legion. Surrounded and feeling that there was no way to escape, the commander-in-chief of the Paput Army, who had extremely poor fighting spirit, decisively chose to surrender because he was a noble. Everyone knew that although the Feize people were cruel, they were only for civilians and nobles. On the contrary, the Feize people are treated well. As long as they pay a ransom, they can go.

"Your Xing family, Noble Paput." General Fezer's cold voice came into his ears, and it felt like a handful of hair cutting his skin. He saw Fezer wearing a red cross-marked helmet on his head. The general stopped his horse in front of him, frowned slightly, and looked him up and down with cold eyes.

"I am Kudia, the Marquis of the Golden Compass of Papt." Kudia raised his head, wanting to show his identity as a noble and take a look at what General Fezer looked like who defeated him, but his eyes fell on General Feizer suddenly trembled, his face became as white as paper, and his body even trembled slightly.

"Oh, you know me?"

General Fezer's eyes revealed a hint of cat-and-mouse playfulness, and the corners of his mouth were slightly grinning with intimidating white teeth. Coupled with the skin exposed outside the armor, it has a beast-like bronze color, and it looks like a ferocious beast, just like the appearance that many nobles use to describe a murderer. His eyes were like a scimitar shining with sharp cold air. The dark red cloak behind his back was fluttering in the plateau wind, and a black goat woven with silver thread could be seen vividly.

As a marquis, Kudia is quite prestigious in the Paput army. Naturally, he knew who General Fezer was in front of him. Just because he knew it, he was trembling with fear. Black Goat Legion, Commander of Fezer's Fifth Legion, Butcher Nasrbad, Kudia could cry now even if he wanted to. If you don't come out, you should have hid in the territory if you knew you would encounter this murderous god.

In this battle between Fezer and Papt, 200,000 Fezer troops were among them. Although the performance of the Fifth Army was not as conspicuous as that of the Fourth and Seventh Army, in terms of the number of Paputs killed, it was the largest number of the entire Fezer Army. After the other Fezer Army broke through the defense line, they all moved towards Papute. The advance of the royal capital, even if there was looting along the way, was quite limited. Only the fifth legion in front of them, as the rear army of the entire advancing group, turned their anger on the Paputs because they did not get the important task of attacking the forward. Anyway, there is no need to rush to the combat location within a limited time. We can simply burn and kill all the way, taking pleasure in killing the Paput people, back and forth. At least 200,000 Paputs died tragically at the hands of the Fifth Army.

"So, you can pay the ransom?"

Nasrbad curled his lips slightly. As a rule, the Fezer Army has always been accustomed to capturing prisoners. In Fezer, prisoners of war are the main source of slaves. What's more, among these Paput prisoners, you can vaguely see a few people wearing exquisite armor. They should be Paput nobles. When it comes to ransom, it is a huge amount of income.

"Of course, the Golden Compass family is not short of money." When the butcher Nasrbad mentioned the ransom, Marquis Kudia nodded like a chicken eating rice, and repeatedly said that as long as he did not kill himself, money would not matter. question

"Sir, this Golden Compass family, I have heard before," a Fezer officer who was following Nasrbad said in a low voice, "I heard that it is the richest family in the Paput Kingdom. If a ransom is offered, at least There could be one hundred thousand, but I heard that the Golden Compass family is just a baron family, how come there is a marquis member?"

"I used to be a baron, but I was promoted to marquis for some reasons!"

Kudiya dares to hide something at this time. The Golden Compass family is also famous in the Paput Kingdom, but not because of the title, but because of wealth. Ruoyuan controlled by the Golden Compass family is actually from the northwest region of the kingdom. A commercial city, although its title is only baron, it is famous for its wealth.

But this time, King Papute, who had escaped from the royal capital in embarrassment, personally visited the Golden Compass family, and on the condition of marrying the eldest daughter of the Golden Compass family, he directly promoted the baron family to the rank of marquis and appointed him as the first emperor of Papute. The commander of the three kings' armies gave away everything from reputation to military power. He immediately obtained the support of 500,000 gold coins from the Golden Compass Family. The Golden Compass Family also added the 20,000 Ruyuan City garrison they had controlled for many years to the royal army. ,

"It's a pity, our army won't take any prisoners this time."

"What!" Kudiya's face was ashen. "But since he is a noble, there are always some exceptions." Nasrbad raised his riding crop, his tone showed a bit of hesitation, but the teasing in his eyes was more obvious, but Kudiya Ya couldn't see this at all. Hearing that Feize's army didn't want to take prisoners this time, Kudia was about to wet his pants when he thought of the style of the commander of the fifth army. "As long as you let me go, I will send you a lot of gold coins." "

Kudiya looked hysterical. Life and death were at stake, and there were so many things at stake. At this time, even if he was asked to lick Fezer's riding boots, he would do it. "Don't you Feizers always consider themselves rich? So why are you still hesitating?" Well, 20,000, 50,000, 100,000, as long as you make a price." Kudia's intestines were filled with regret. In fact, he was just a lord of a commercial city. Although there are thousands of garrison soldiers under his command, none of them have ever been on the battlefield. This time he spent a lot of money to recruit 20,000 soldiers, which made his ambitions also expand. Who would have thought that tens of thousands of troops would suddenly They were scattered, running all over the mountains and plains like others chasing ducks. These Feize people are so terrifying. They kill people just like chopping melons and vegetables.

"Just cut off his head and send it away. It will be easier to carry it with you!" Looking at Kudiya's face, Nasrbad smiled cruelly and said to the soldiers standing behind Kudiya waved his hand

He likes to see people's hopes rise and then be shattered. It feels good to play with this little nobleman Papt. At least it can relieve some of the unhappiness of being arranged as a flank of the army, "You..." Marquis Kudia's expression changed greatly. Unexpectedly, the Fezer people did not want to take prisoners. He immediately stood up and ran away, but he was already pushed to the ground by several Fezer soldiers. One soldier chopped off his head with a sword and put it in a jar. As for the body that was still there The bleeding, headless corpse was thrown into the mud and left unattended.

With Nasrbaid's order, the Fezer army who was picking up the prisoners stopped. Amid the panic and commotion of the prisoners, the Fezer army's sharp spears began to surround them from all directions." No one will be left behind!" Fei Zejun's captains showed strange excitement on their faces. , the cage made of spears began to shrink, and the more than two thousand Paput soldiers trapped in the middle who had lost their weapons along with the Marquis of Kudia, crowded together toward the center like crazy, with long steel spikes The whole row of guns pierced the Papt man's body, bringing up pieces of blood.

"The capital of Paput has made enough money. Only as soon as possible can the country be safe. If the order continues, no one is allowed to bring prisoners on the road." When there was no longer a Paput standing, Nas Erbaid ordered the pursuing Fifth Army of Fezer to retreat, because these Paputs had already wasted half a day, and they were within a short distance. The distance between the army and the main army was originally twenty miles, but now it is forty miles, and the position on the flank is often the easiest position to fall into a deadly battle. Once the emperor really attacks hard, and the flank is overturned, that bastard Omu will Only God knows whether there will be rescue or not. "Sir, if we don't attack, the Fezer people will withdraw."

Looking at Fezer's army camp that was starting to shrink in the distance, the adjutant looked at Salton next to him. They were located more than a thousand meters away, on the edge of a dense forest. Behind the two of them, tens of thousands of imperial cavalry. The group stopped neatly and uniformly at the edge of the woodland following the order. The horses' hooves trampled heavily on the soft soil of the woodland. The horses' hooves lifted up and put them down uneasily. At the same time, they picked up the soil on the ground and moved the earth under their feet. It turned into a ball of mud, and the low neighing of the war horses came one after another. The destruction of Papt's army was staged before their eyes, but Salton's indifferent expression was worthy of his name as the "disabled lion" in the imperial world. The master of solid wall defense is ruthless to the enemy and even more ruthless to himself. If the emperor had attacked just now, he might not have been able to save more Paputs, but Salton completely ignored these Paput volunteers.

The relationship between the empire and the Paput Royal Capital has been irreversible since the moment the capital was destroyed. Do we still need to worry about the feelings of the Paput people now?

Many nobles in the royal capital died, and the number of high-ranking nobles in the entire kingdom decreased by 80% overnight. For the king who escaped from the battle, it was equivalent to holding a lot of high-ranking titles in his hands, and even the outside world was worried. There are rumors that His Majesty the King abandoned the Royal Capital in order to wipe out the high-level nobles who had been stale for many years. Therefore, although the losses in the destruction of the Royal Capital were heavy, His Majesty the King strengthened the once weak royal power several times.

And those industrial lands and manors that were slaughtered by the high nobles became royal property overnight. Now the king is simply the Paput king in the past, with the greatest wealth and power. He gave up the royal capital as simply as he gave up. However, now he has raised the flag of counterattack against the royal capital with determination, showing an attitude of not giving in even in the face of Feize's strong military power.

As a king, his support and reputation have reached their highest point. Now, no matter whether they are Papt's nobles or civilians, they all respect him as "Holy King". Everyone can see that once Feize's army withdraws, Papt, this King Papt is fully capable of controlling everything, and the first one to be liquidated may be the imperial forces. They are going to fall out anyway, so why not weaken their power now? (To be continued.)
