Realm of Power

Please enter the text." The scout reported that Feize's army had arrived on the other side in the afternoon and was running along the river towards Kanyala. Is there any need to strengthen the river bank defense? "The slightly dilapidated city top of Kanyala , Salton handed the report from the forward scouts to Roxanwick behind him, and his eyes fell on the defense line next to the rolling Lery River bank in front.

"It's already very strong. To be honest, if we hadn't known that the higher-ups only asked us to hold on for ten days, I really doubt that the higher-ups were going to trap all of Fezer's 200,000 troops here." Ruosanwek shrugged calmly. He shrugged his shoulders and seemed not to take Fezer's approach of 200,000 troops seriously at all. It was surprising how relaxed he was, but However, a mature and prudent general like Salton actually vaguely agreed with this point. He sighed and was dissatisfied with the proud expression in his old friend's tone. Salton said, "Only such a rich man is qualified to say this. If you know the treatment in the Imperial Flag Corps is so good, I should have recommended it myself!”%

"I knew that when I was selected, I must have something to do with you." Rose Anvik glanced at the corner of his mouth, looking at the river bank in front, and said, "The Imperial Flag Force is not the regular army of the Empire. In a sense, He said that it can only be regarded as an armed business group. If it were not for the special guarantee given by the Ministry of Supervision, I would not have chosen to join in the first place."

"Special guarantee? Honestly, can you tell me?"

Salton hesitated and asked. Although Rothean Vick was recommended by him, he knew very little about what happened next. He only knew that after coming out of the Supervision Department, Rothean Vick joined the irregular army. The imperial flag force was transformed from a general of the regular army to the commander of an armed merchant group. This once caused quite a stir among the Rode faction within the empire, and Her Royal Highness the Princess came forward later. This matter did not spread in the end

"Actually, this matter is not something that cannot be said. Even the Ministry of Supervision did not deliberately keep it a secret. It was just that no one believed it when it was said." Roose Anvik's eyes flashed with the brilliance of memories, deep in his heart. Take a breath. He said, "If I say that I met His Majesty the Emperor at the headquarters of the Ministry of Supervision, would you believe it?"

"Emperor? What did the emperor say?" Salton nodded. Who is Rothean Vick? In order to impress a person who dared to speak outright even in the face of the former King of Germany, a mere Supervisory Department was not enough. On the contrary, the possibility of His Majesty the Emperor appearing is quite high, because after the establishment of the Imperial Flag Corps, the The first one to enter the battlefield was Paput, and then the empire used the battle of Kanyaro, which Rothean Vik only knew. In the end, it led to the emergence of the Central Eight-Nation Alliance. With such a layout and such methods, how could it be possible without His Majesty the Emperor?

"The Emperor said that as long as I join the Imperial Flag Corps, he will give us German soldiers a chance to truly stand on their own." Rozenvik held his hand on the cold crenelated bricks of Kanyaro, and a wry smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth. His eyes were full of desolation and bitterness. The elite infantrymen who once roamed the continent. Now that we have reached such a situation, as a German soldier, if we can use our reputation to save everything, then there is nothing to fear about sacrifice!

"It's actually like this!"

Salton was dumbfounded when he heard this, and his body trembled slightly. This guarantee was indeed a condition that any Rode soldier who wanted to restore Rode's glory could not refuse. Yes, the hearts of the Rode soldiers were full of eagerness to prove themselves. This time, he led 30,000 cavalry to attack the 200,000 Feize army. Could it be that such emotions in his heart were at work? As the representative of the Rode military force in the empire, . What Salton learned was that the situation was even more unbearable. As the last faction to surrender on the entire continent, the Rode faction had also experienced a brutal rebellion among the traditional martial arts. All their elites had been lost. In the Battle of Rode, the empire was crushed all the way.

Therefore, for the conquered Rode area, the emperor had no intention of recruiting troops at first. Later, in order to appease the disbanded soldiers, His Majesty the Emperor reluctantly formed the Rode Second Army in the southern part of the empire, and it was also in the name of Princess Rode. They were recruited from the beginning to cope with the current situation.

How could the emperor value such a troop so much?

As the empire began to conquer Obarro's war, the imperial power was re-adjusted. In addition to the original system, even soldiers from the Salander faction joined in. Even the Dorok people recruited countless soldiers after integrating into the imperial system. When a young officer enters the empire, there is more choices at the top to support Dorok's power. On the other hand, Luo De, although Her Royal Highness is a princess, she cannot be ranked as the real king. Among the concubines, there is also a lonely Salton among the important military generals. Over the past few years, the empire conquered Gaul, defeated Gangfei, annexed Feishan, and conquered Istan. There were so many bloody battles, so many illustrious military exploits, so many amazing things. As a blinding military reward, the Second Army of Rode could only watch from the sidelines, or it arrived late as a reserve force. Basically, the war was over.

There are almost no opportunities to fight on the front line, and there is no reward for military exploits. After several years of this, even the elites have been reduced to ordinary troops. In the annual assessment, even the Imperial Ministry once asked the emperor I would like to suggest that the Second Rode Army be abolished, which was originally formed solely to deal with the situation. It is a pseudo-main force in the name of a first-line army, but its combat strength is still a second-line army.

But this time, the emperor suddenly transferred the Empire's Southern Second Army to Paput to face the war pressure between Paput and the Fezer Kingdom. Salton originally thought that the emperor's transfer was just an illusion to confuse the Fezer people. , according to the usual practice, the Second Army still only needs to stay quietly in the direction of the coast, waiting for the big attack. After the war, we went to clean up the battlefield. Anyway, we have already done too many things to prepare the team. It doesn’t matter if we do it again. However, the capital of King Papt was destroyed, the country was destroyed, the mountains and rivers were broken, and the tragic situation of corpses and blood seas unfolded all at once. In front of Salton, the empire showed no sign of mobilizing a main army.

Hearing Rothean Vik's words, Salton was shocked to realize that this time, the Second Legion really participated in this tragic war as a blocking force for the empire. In other words, the main army of the empire was defeated in a short period of time. The car will not enter Paput. Salton can already feel the emperor's scrutinizing gaze, looking over from across the sea.

The Rode warriors who have dominated the home continent for hundreds of years are either remembered again because of this battle, or reduced to a historical noun because of this battle. If the Rode Second Army wants to truly become the frontline main battle force of the empire. It is necessary to go through such a test of blood and fire. In this regard, the emperor is quite famous for his ruthlessness. Even the emperor's most beloved disciple, the flower of the emperor's world, Berlant Bonnie's Gangfei Second Army has just been formed. He had suffered such an ordinary test before, and it was only after he faced the Central European Barrow Alliance's army of more than 200,000 men aggressively charging into Congo that he now had the position to stand alone in the northern part of Congo.

"Don't worry, this time I personally begged Miss Sokutus Stellan, who can be regarded as the senior commander of the Imperial Bank Flag Team. Miss Sokutus Stellan is also very concerned about our situation, so she promised to give us some Aid" Rothean Vic looked at Salton's face became serious. "The rising water caused by the heavy rain should disappear within ten days. That's what the higher-ups think, too. Without the impact of the flood, the Fezer people would probably bypass Kanni." This road to Yarrow, that’s why we only need to guard it for ten days.”

"Are you sure it's just some assistance?"

Salton rolled his eyes when he heard this, wishing he could kick this guy with his feet. There were fifty Imperial Hundred Ballista vehicles, one hundred and fifty Imperial Heavy Ballista vehicles, and sixteen merchant ships loaded with various war preparation supplies. Two of the merchant ships actually had the muzzle baffles of the Imperial Thor on their sides. Is that still a merchant ship?

Rose Anvik said that it was the armed fleet of the Imperial Bank, so it was equipped with the discarded products of the Imperial Navy. The problem was that the eliminated products were also Thors. The weapons could be used as eliminated objects, and the strong and skilled Thor gunners were also eliminated. Taste? If you haven't seen it with your own eyes. Salton also didn't expect that Rothean Vick, who arrived later, would bring such a powerful force. It was not used to block, it was simply used to kill! After the fleet arrived, it did not leave. Instead, a bearded man wearing a navy admiral's hat came down. Requesting Salton to mobilize manpower, "Sir, I am Chekov, Commander of the Imperial Navy's Second Squadron. We need some manpower to expand the port outside Kanyaro City as a docking point for ships."

"The docking point of the ship? Are you saying that the naval fleet is going to enter the inland river? Salton was really shocked by the naval officer's words at the time. It is not unprecedented for the Imperial Navy warships to enter the inland river, but a large river like the one in front of you, Although it is wide during high water periods, once it falls into the water, it will be difficult for large ships to move in. If warships can come in so easily, why does the army need to fight so hard? The navy warships can just follow the river and kill it." The fleet cannot enter such a river. "The bearded Chekov is a real man. He scanned the river left and right after the water rose, shook his head, but said with certainty, "But the merchant ship can. If a support point can be established here, It can be connected to the estuary. In this case, the movement of various supplies will be greatly increased. I heard that it takes at least ten days to get here from the northern coast, but it actually only took us less than four days to get here. sky! ""I see, I understand." Salton had also been the military minister of Rode after all. He was very clear about the importance of war transportation. The empire was really good at calculating and took advantage of the opportunity of the war to set up support in the Paput River. point, as the front moves forward, whether it is the battle ahead Both trophies and later supplies can move at twice the speed, just like the fleet that suddenly arrived in front of us. If so many supplies and ordnance came from overland, it would be too late anyway, but Now coming from the waterway, he rushed directly in front of Fei Zejun.

Fei Zejun thought that what stood in front of them would be a long-distance attack and a force that was short of supplies. He never thought that there would be enough supplies here to kill all 200,000 Fei Zejun because there were enough supplies. , there are also pontoons along the coast built by the fleet, and the earthen forts built one after another are like building a city wall on the extended extension of the river overnight. The imperial soldiers looked down at the opposite side. On the river beach a hundred meters away, the flood rushing down from the upper reaches hit the thick earth barrier, and suddenly rolled up a large whirlpool of white foam. The rumbling sound was faintly like the muffled thunder in the sky. On these earth barriers, a An imperial heavy crossbow cart was pushed up, and the huge clusters of metal arrows flashed in the dusk with a chilling chill, turning the only stone bridge still crossing the river into a murderous area.

"Rumble" Amidst the sound of rushing water, the sound of smoke and dust could be heard faintly from the distant river bank. On September 24, Feize's fifth army, sixth army, and eighth army marched south, totaling 130,000 troops. The formed Chinese army first appeared densely opposite the Kaniyaro Stone Bridge.

A steady stream of mixed troops on foot and cavalry marched out of the forest at the foothills on the opposite side, the rumble of hooves and footsteps raising a cloud of yellow dust.

"Sir, the Emperor has taken control of the bridge entrance." A scout ran over from the front.

"It looks a bit tricky!" Omu stopped his war horse. Although he was far away, he could still see the earthen ramparts standing on the opposite side, and the several ships docked on the opposite shore made him frown tightly. , these ships should be coming from upstream, which made him feel a little worried. Worry, it is no secret that the Imperial Army transports troops by water, but I did not expect that I would encounter such a situation. It is just a few transport ships. It is already overwhelming to be able to transport thousands of reinforcements. For more than ten people on my side, For an army of ten thousand, what is the use of this small amount of reinforcements?

"Sir, give the order to attack."

General Feize could no longer bear it any longer. The Imperial troops on the other side could only have fifty or sixty thousand troops at most. The reason why the army arrived so late was to build offensive equipment. As soon as an order was issued, three hundred aircraft were immediately rushed to work. The simple catapult was pushed up, and giant giants with water chestnuts were pushed up. The large rocks were put into the catapult basket, each one weighing more than a hundred kilograms. The earth barrier on the opposite side was simply the best target. A trace of red flashed in Feizer's eyes. An officer raised his hand, and the machine of the trebuchet The spring made a rattling sound when it was tightened, waiting for the order to throw the stone.

Just when everyone was nervously waiting for the order, a cold shadow suddenly erupted from the other side of the river in front, and more than a hundred high-speed objects like white lines were seen crossing the river a hundred meters and flying towards the position of Fei Zejun's catapult. At the same time, Feizer felt that the sky above him suddenly darkened. When he raised his head and saw it, he was almost scared to death. There were countless black dots flying across the sky.

"Arrow attack!" Before the horrified cry of a Fezer soldier could be heard, his body was pierced by a white line, and a sound of bones cracking was heard. The soldier's body was struck by a huge impact like a light straw. Flying with force , slammed into the wooden frame of the catapult behind the soldier, with a boom, the front end of the metal crossbow spun under the collision, and the wood chips flew everywhere. The catapult, which was already tense and waiting to be launched, swept across the impact. Collapse
