Realm of Power

Please enter the text. The fat man was having breakfast. When he saw the Imperial Navy Minister Dustelenko walking in, he said slowly, "How are the negotiations going? What did the Fezer royal family say?"

"It's a very strange request. The other party rejected our request to actively participate in the war. They just hope that we can provide some material assistance." The Navy Minister Dustronkai, who had just completed the negotiation, looked a little tired and gestured to the fat man. Li, sat down across from him and looked at the emperor who had a look on his face that he knew he would be like this. He finally couldn't help asking, "My subordinates are a little confused. Is it just that the Feize royal family handed over such a large piece of territory to us?" Just let us watch the show?"

"Are you going to watch a show? It's okay if you want to understand it this way!"

The fat man didn't care about his important minister's confusion. "It's not difficult to understand. Although an agreement has been reached, the Feize royal family is also afraid that once the military power is defeated, the imperial power will take advantage of it and now use the west coast to hold us back. This way you won’t have much energy to participate in Fezer’s civil war.”

"That's true, but why is the royal family so confident that it can defeat the military?"

Dostelenko frowned slightly when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask the doubts he had been suppressing for a long time. If anyone else said this, Dostelenko would refute them without hesitation. The Fezer royal family was in this civil war. , is obviously at a disadvantage, especially during this period, what Dustrunke has known and understood in the West Coast region has further confirmed this idea.

The entire West Coast, whether it is the nobles of the ruling class or the slaves who are ruled, their words reveal their contempt for the Fezer royal family. If in other kingdoms, a slave made fun of the king, his head would be cut off and hung. On the pillar. However, on the West Coast, slaves who verbally insulted their slave owners would be tortured by pulling out their tongues. But if you insult the king, you will only get a whip. Such a huge gap means that slaves almost completely ignore the insults of the king. At slave owners' banquets, it is common for slave owners to unscrupulously ridicule the royal behavior. This is the West Coast, the West Coast of slave owners, the West Coast of the military, not the West Coast of the United States. west coast of ze royal family

Although those slave owners are now suppressed by the emperor. It seemed a lot calmer, but Dostronkai could feel the collision of the accelerating undercurrents under the backwaters on the West Coast. The forbearance of those slave owners was only temporary, and no one would watch it. As he transformed from a high-ranking ruler to a low-level person with the same status as slaves overnight, with the support of the emperor, the slaves were already leaving in droves. Most of the slave owners on the West Coast were arrogant. noble. It was impossible to swallow this breath. Many slave owners were members of Fezer's military, and they did not lack bloodshed and resistance. And it’s not like he has no resistance,

How could those tens of thousands of slave owners' armed forces that disappeared overnight really disappear? Although the number was not very large, if they were mobilized at once, it would still be a considerable number. Taking advantage of the familiarity of the terrain, these people lurked like poisonous snakes. In the dark, he stared at the back of the empire with eyes red with hatred. He could pop out and take a bite at any time.

Just thinking about this made Dostelenko feel chills on his back. There is an urge to order the complete eradication of those slave owners regardless of the consequences. Dostelenko didn't believe that the emperor didn't know about these undercurrents, but the emperor calmly pretended to be watching a show, so what could he say?

"Your Majesty, this is the latest report that has just been sent."

A guard captain sent a document. When Dostelenko saw the emperor giving up his favorite breakfast, he glanced at the report and his eyes suddenly lit up. He handed the report to Dostelenko and said with a smile. "Feser's Twelfth Army has already passed Jiwu Ring Fortress. At this rate of advancement, Bikoya, the gateway to the royal capital, is ahead."

"So fast? I heard that Fezer's military is still working hard to prepare military rations and absorb surrendered nobles. It is said that two-thirds of the nobles in Fezer have declared their support for Fezer's military, and another third, except for some In addition to the die-hard loyalists of the royal family in the royal capital area, most of them are also express Showing a wait-and-see attitude, as long as the military's advantage becomes more obvious, it will turn to the military without hesitation. Dostelenko looked at the report in his hand in surprise, frowning, the situation became increasingly unclear, and he Only two people may be able to understand this chaotic game of chess in front of them.

His Majesty the Emperor and King Fezer. The Emperor firmly believed that the Fezer royal family would win, but Dostelenko did not see the possibility of winning at all.

From a strength comparison point of view, the border guard force controlled by Fezer's military is Fezer's most elite force, and its number is twice that of the royal army. It has an absolute advantage in this war, not counting the nobles who have taken refuge. Compared with the strength of the army, the royal family with only 100,000 troops directly under the army seems too pitiful. Regardless of the military strength it controls, its connections, and the scope of support, it is far inferior to The military, to put it bluntly, when Dostelenko saw the newspaper sent to describe the scene of Fezer's Twelve Army marching all the way to the royal capital, his first feeling was that this was the direction of the general trend and was irresistible. As long as When the preparation of military supplies is completed, the main force of Feize's border defense army will follow the path opened by the Twelve Army and attack Feize's royal capital in a mighty manner. With twice the strength advantage, the battle for Feize's royal power will be decided.

But in the eyes of the emperor, it seems that he is completely invisible to all this. It would be fine if it were someone else, but who is the emperor? The God of the Continental Army, a man who swept away 700,000 Southern Allied Forces in one breath and could make the entire South tremble when he sneezed. If the emperor thinks that the Fezer royal family can win, then the Fezer royal family will definitely win." The second batch of troops of the Northwest Army will be Arrival at what time?

The emperor looked at his Admiralty Minister with dagger-like eyes. Originally, he was a little confused as to what methods the Fezer royal family would use to make Fezer's army completely out of control. But now he saw that the Twelfth Army was so smoothly forced into Biya, the portal of the royal capital. Grams, I have already roughly guessed a few things. That Fei King Ze is indeed willing to spend enough money to abandon the entire area outside the royal capital and let Feize's army advance all the way. Unless he is a particularly suspicious person, I am afraid that such a confusing strategic deployment will not be considered useful. Question "If everything goes well, we can arrive within seven days."

Dostronkai didn't know why the emperor asked this, so he quickly stood up and explained respectfully, "Naval transportation is different from land transportation, so the time cannot be said with certainty. Winter is approaching. The wind and waves in the outer sea are getting bigger and bigger, and the navy The Ministry will definitely do its best to complete the task.”

"In seven days, I don't know if it will be too late!" Dostelenko heard the emperor sigh with emotion. Somewhat unclear, a chill suddenly flashed through my mind. He solemnly said, "Does Your Majesty think that there will be any big changes in these seven days?" "What a big change. If I say that Feize's 12th Army will break through Bikoya Fortress and invade the royal capital area in one fell swoop, would you believe it?" "The emperor's words were not shocking, he put down the knife and fork in his hand, and took the tablecloth sent by the guard. Wiping the corners of his mouth, he had a relaxed and carefree expression on his face, as if he was saying a matter of course. "How is this possible! Dostronkai was stunned. He couldn't imagine that the emperor said that the Twelve Army would attack Lower Bikoa Fortress... Bikoa Fortress as a fee The portal to King Ze's capital is not only built solidly, but also has the experienced veteran Duke Gankefu sitting in charge, as well as 30,000 elite troops from the directly affiliated legions. It is already considered to be the strongest field cluster that the royal army can assemble in one go. , even if It is an important strategic point that can only be won in a bloody battle against the main force of Feize's army. Opening Biak is equivalent to opening the door to the capital of Feize. The road leading to the throne of kingship. As a soldier with combat experience, Dostelenko believed that facing a strong wall like Biak Fortress would require at least nearly twice the number of troops. Fezer's Twelve Army was full. With only 40,000 troops, it is completely impossible to capture the fortress in one go!

But it was the emperor who said this. Who dares to say it’s impossible!

In the vast plain in front of Bikoya Fortress, there was a fierce battlefield with large armies. The grass that covered the wilderness was trampled under the feet of groups of heavily armored soldiers, and countless stones were thrown crazily at Fezer's Twelve Army in front. The attack line of the Twelfth Army spread out like a flood hitting a dam.

The double-headed eagle battle flag of the direct legion was hunting over Duke Gankefu's head. The veteran's eyes seemed to be burning with two balls of fire. No one knew what he was thinking. There was clearly a strong fortress, but he dragged the entire army out by some strange combination. In the field battle of the fortress, the black and overwhelming military formation of the twelve armies on the opposite side was all included in his In the flash of cold eyes, the hand holding the riding crop tightened violently. For more than a hundred years, the military border guards and the royal corps have finally become enemies. They are both Feize's brave warriors, but at this moment they are crazy about each other. The countless living lives were turned into flesh and mud in front of the falling stone bullets.

Duke Gankefu, recognized as the most qualified veteran in Feize's military circles, looked at the battlefield in front of him with his lips trembling slightly.

"kill!"

On the battlefield, the officers loudly encouraged the blood of the soldiers, the battle flags were like clouds, and the troops all over the mountains and plains were like tides. For an individual soldier, such a scene was like a kind of hypnosis, and personal reason was no longer important. , when the queue moves forward, who will stay behind, see The blood of the enemy on the opposite side was boiling like boiling water. It was like being injected with infinite power. The advancing army was swept forward and rushed forward. The moment the two armies collided, it was like a large red field in an instant. The turbulence was involved, and an infantry regiment at the forefront was torn apart in an instant.

The red-eyed soldiers on both sides shouted the same voice almost at the same time. The metal hit the metal and made a harsh friction sound. The falling rain hit the body and was cut into water droplets. It mixed with the blood on the front end of the spear and fell down. ,

"Form up, don't mess up." All kinds of shouts came one after another. "My lord, the fifth regiment has encountered the opponent's heavy infantry!" Duke Gankefu listened to the report calmly. He rode on his horse and looked at the flanks in the distance. The soldiers collapsed, the densely packed spear points flashed with the terrifying sharp edge of metal in the white rain, and the spears were broken. The sound of folding sounded like dense raindrops, and the blood exploded at the moment of contact, just like a bright red mist suddenly appeared. Because it rushed too fast, the soldiers at the front had not had time to stop, just like that Being pushed and beaten to death from the front by the people behind, it is simply a death line that will crush even the soul.

The heavy infantry phalanx of Feser's Twelfth Army was like a huge iron anchor coming up from the side and crashing heavily into the array of the direct army. Soldiers from both sides collided almost at the same time. The fierce collision of metal sounded like The waves crashed on the rocks, splashing out the fresh blood of countless soldiers Blood, the spears of the direct legionnaires were bounced off the heavy armor of the heavy infantry of Fezer's Twelfth Army, bringing up a stream of red sparks. The cold light flashed, and the spiked flail in the hands of the tall heavy infantry had fallen violently. Swinging it up, a swift and dazzling cold light flashed through the air.

"bump"

The bodies of the entire row of direct army soldiers were like struck balls. Their entire bodies were knocked over, and the armor sewn with iron sheets on their bodies was suddenly torn apart by the huge cold light.

Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and blood flew down from a high place like raindrops. The heavy infantry took the opportunity to move forward, pushing aside the infantry queue of the direct legion in front, as if tearing a huge hole on the river bank, and the fine iron weapon in their hands The hammer kept swinging, knocking the people in front of it to the ground.

"Teacher, this kind of combat intensity should be enough."

The young adjutant next to Duke Gankefu turned his head away with some unbearable eyes. The directly affiliated corps did not have heavy infantry, because the military has repeatedly stated that heavy infantry, a scarce unit, should be used for border guards who need it more. As an excuse, as early as ten years ago, all heavy infantry squadrons were classified as border guards.

However, for the heavy infantry, the direct legion had already prepared. Duke Gankefu snorted from the corner of his old mouth and raised his hand again, "Load the armor-piercing arrow."

"Brush" the 3,000 shooters from Fezer's direct legion who were standing in the back formation. They took a step forward uniformly. Their muscular right hand slowly raised the laminated compound bow tightly in their hands towards the sky. These direct subordinates The archers of the legion are all veterans of more than five years. They are equipped with leather quivers and hold powerful laminated bows in their hands. They have no armor on their bodies, so they can escape quickly when encountering an enemy attack.

The front ends of the arrows were all arrow cones used to break armor, and soon they poured like heavy rain towards the heavy infantry formation of the Twelfth Army. The sharp arrows tore through the rain curtain and brought up a stream of orders in the rain. With the chilling white light, the heavy infantry soldiers who were caught off guard were hit by arrows one after another.

Arrow clusters with armor-piercing tips were firmly nailed to these heavy infantry. The front arrows were immersed in the armor, and soon blood seeped out from the gaps in the armor. Some of the heavy infantry fell to their knees as soon as they were hit. He was panting heavily and his steps were as slow as a crow. Turtle, these arrow clusters cannot kill the heavy infantry with one blow, but they can cause the heavy infantry inside to be injured and bleed. The heavy infantry is a branch that relies heavily on physical strength. A large amount of bleeding will seriously weaken the combat effectiveness of the heavy infantry, until in the end because Bleed to death

"Old bastard, if you can, fight face to face!" Cooley, the commander of the Twelfth Army, yelled angrily. The three thousand heavy infantry were his heart and soul, and they were also the field capital of the Twelfth Army. Now they were hit hard. , although they can still fight, it is only a matter of time before they are all killed (to be continued.)
