Realm of Power

Under the gloomy sky, the wind and waves were rolling in the wilderness. Bai Wufeng was riding on his horse with a solemn expression, looking at the Sirius City in the distance with a heavy look.

The rain hit his armor, making a pitter-patter sound, and then slid down the armor, adding a bit of chill. The long and muscular horse under its crotch snorted, its hooves moved uneasily, and a long white breath came out from the wings of its nose. Beside him, Bai Fengling was dressed in light armor, with a thick look of reluctance on his beautiful eyebrows.

"Brother, are we really going to join the Mountain Province?"

"If you don't go, do you want to stay here and wait to die?" Bai Wufeng withdrew his gaze with a stern expression and smiled bitterly, "The current Heavenly Wolf Army is no longer what it used to be. Although the Situ family can no longer take over the Heavenly Wolf Army, those who surrendered before The elders of the Situ family will never tolerate it If we continue to stay in Tianlang City, it is better to leave early than this. At least Yanzhou Camp is still there and its foundation is still there, and the court has also issued an order that Shanzhong Province will take over the wilderness affairs of Zhongbia. What's wrong with us going to the Mountain Province?'

"But, after all, the mountain province is not the area of ​​our Zhongbia people..." Bai Fengling's lips trembled slightly and he said with a worried look.

"As long as you can survive, everything else is secondary. After experiencing this incident, do you still want to persist?" Bai Wufeng's eyes flashed and he said with great confidence, "Actually, I took refuge in the Shanzhong Province just to avoid It's a disaster. It's not like we really work for the Shanzhong Province. As long as Yanzhou Camp is in hand, we really can't get used to it. We still have a way out of the wilderness."

As far as Bai Wufeng could see, in the Yanzhou camp, large groups of soldiers were filling in the trenches around the camp, loading baggage onto dragon-like carriages, horses, cattle and mules. The carriages were piled full of equipment, baggage, grain, grass, and livestock. There was already a wooden stick in the mouth, and he couldn't neigh. The officers in charge who were struggling in the mud were running back and forth in the team, whispering but hastily passing orders. On both sides of the baggage were Yanzhou sharp soldiers wearing armor, their bucklers and machetes shining brightly in the rain, maintaining order. Guarding this huge column rolling north,

Sirius City looked even more melancholy in the rain. Even if the Vanilla River outside the city was flowing quietly, it could not take away this depressing feeling. The menacing Situ family withdrew from the wilderness in such a dejected manner, which was really disappointing. The Sirius army was shocked, it turned out that it was not People who rarely see Feng Shiruo believe that when the Situ family takes over the wilderness this time, the first thing they must get rid of must be Bai Wufeng, the original commander of the Sirius Army, so they cut off their relationship with Bai Wufeng in advance, hoping that in the future, Standing in a good position in the Wolves reshuffle

Who knew that in just a few days, it would be the result of sudden changes in the situation?

The eldest young master of the Situ family, Situ Wan, who was in charge of the Situ family's entry into the wilderness, died inexplicably within the emperor's sphere of influence. Subsequently, the Eastern Army, the most powerful force in the Situ family's Quartet, was also blocked by the imperial border troops. , tens of thousands of elites died in battle and still could not move forward. If it were not for the Eastern Army The general force decisively gave up the plan to march. The most powerful side of the Situ family's four armies was completely surrendered in this wilderness. The angry head of the Situ family went to Linhang, the capital of the new emperor, for help. As a result, before he came back, someone News has spread that His Majesty the Emperor has handed over the affairs of the wilderness to the Mountain Province

The Sirius Army is the largest smuggling group of the Central Asian nobles heading west. There are various internal forces competing against each other, and they have their own eyes on the upper-level rumors. Soon, the news was confirmed. The Sirius Army was in an uproar. The mountain province was... What the hell, how can an outsider with a background from the Western Continent be qualified to manage the affairs of Central and Bibia! Just as people within the Sirius Army expressed their disdain for this, everyone thought that Bai Wufeng, the commander-in-chief of the Mountain Province who would fully oppose the mountain province's invasion of the wilderness, made a sound that shocked everyone.

"Yanzhou Camp will be included in the Shanzhong Province from now on!"

Bai Wufeng's attitude was like a needle pricking the elders of the Sirius Army who were still wavering before.

Bai Wufeng may not be representative of the entire Sirius Army, but his Yanzhou Battalion is recognized as the most elite and capable unit of the Sirius Army. The Yanzhou Battalion was included in the Shanzhong Province, which is equivalent to removing the Sirius Army at once. His spine suddenly made those elders who still wanted to watch the fun unable to sit still.

The tense atmosphere in Tianlang City is becoming more and more intense. On the streets at the top of the city, there were troops from the Sirius Army and various forces in Central and South Asia. There are small forces in simple clothes and cavalry in red armor. Since yesterday, a large number of foreign troops have been stationed in Tianlang City. As the army moved in, there were one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps on the city wall, and the number of patrols in the city also increased several times. Residents in the city are only allowed to enter but not to leave. The place with the tightest security is naturally the Sirius Army's base camp. It is an old brick-and-tile building. Although it looks a bit old and outdated, it has driven away a lot of the stuffy feeling.

In the hall, a sturdy elder of the Sirius Council angrily threw the report about the Yanzhou Battalion's preparations to leave Sirius City on the long table of the Council of Elders: "Crazy, this guy Bai Wufeng must be crazy." , I’ve said it before, we went too far some time ago and irritated this kid.”

"You've all seen it. I've long said that Bai Wufeng is an untrained wild colt and an untrained white-eyed wolf. He shouldn't have been elected as the commander-in-chief in the first place. Originally, because of the Situ family's defeat, there was already a lot of trouble. The whole city is in panic. If Bai Wufeng is allowed to leave with Yanzhou Camp at this time, it will make matters worse and the entire Sirius Army may be divided! "

Another serious-looking old man snorted with a heavy nose, "I don't know what Bai Wufeng was thinking. After all, the Situ family is a second-class military minister family in China and Bia. It is only a small gap from the Zhang family, which was the peak of the year. It is absolutely possible for such a family to want to take over the Sirius military. It is acceptable, but the Province of the Mountains is different. This is a province composed purely of people from the Western Continent. It is a remnant of the defeated Gallic Empire. It is just for the sake of being protected in the name of Central Asia. Such people How could he represent China and the Biya court as the leader of the Sirius Army!

"Yes, this bastard Bai Wufeng, announcing his separation from the Sirius Army at this time, is simply revenge on us!"

"Yes, we must not let Bai Wufeng's Yanzhou camp leave."

"Since everyone thinks that Bai Wufeng should not be let go, then send someone to intercept him! It is not a pity for such a person to die!" In the commotion of the chaos, I don't know who said this sentence, in the conference hall It suddenly became quiet. Yes, if Bai Wufeng wants to leave, just stop him. I don’t know who said such nonsense.

Although the Yanzhou Battalion under Bai Wufeng's command only numbered a thousand or so, they were truly elite warriors who fought bloody battles. They would not retreat even if they fought to the last man. Bai Wufeng himself was even more powerful and powerful. General, a ferocious wolf leads a group of ferocious wolves, the effect will definitely not be as simple as one plus one, Yanzhou The combat power of the battalion is obvious to all. It is conservatively estimated that if you want to wipe out Bai Wufeng's Yanzhou battalion, you can't do it without preparing for a loss of more than 5,000. Although the Sirius Army claims to have more than 10,000 troops, that is actually It was pieced together by all the Chinese and Bianrian forces. Who would actually use their own money to help others open the way!

"If Bai Wufeng really goes to the mountain province, he will definitely pass through Lingku City. If the Lord of Lingku City, Wang Qianjun, is willing to assist, it is not impossible to stop Bai Wufeng!"

A thin middle-aged man stood up and looked at a fat man with a pale face among the participants. Although the weather was very hot, the wind coming from the hall was cool, but this man was wearing a gold silk robe with a head on his head. The fat man had a jade hairpin stuck in his head, and beads of sweat fell from his forehead like this.

"Fuck you Lu Kaiwen, Bai Wufeng's Yanzhou camp is so cruel, how can we stop it with only five or six hundred troops in Lingku City!"

The fat man looked angrily at the middle-aged man who had brought trouble to him. He stood up immediately, tore open his shirt to reveal his chest covered with tattoos. He slapped the table and said loudly, "I really want my soul library." It's not impossible for the city to stop Bai Wufeng, but we must show enough sincerity, otherwise our Lingku City will be destroyed and we will be able to gain advantages for others in vain."

"What do you mean by sincerity?" Song Yang, an elder of the Sirius Army, frowned slightly and asked in a solemn voice. Situ's Quartet Army arrived at Sirius City. He was the first elder to seek refuge with the Situ family. Bai Wufeng betrayed Sirius City. It was a slap in the face. Naturally, he wanted to get rid of Bai Wufeng as soon as possible. As long as he could stop Bai Wufeng, he would accept it even if he made some sacrifices.

"One million imperial gold coins, as long as the Council of Elders takes it out, I, Wang Qianjun, will admit it even if I scrape off all the flesh!"

Wang Qianjun said with a look of death on his face. He was already tall, with well-developed limbs and strength, and his eyes flashed with a vicious light. Don't look at his fatness. It's not easy for someone who can intimidate a city in the wilderness. The murderous look in his eyes when he spoke was like an enraged wild boar.

"Wang Qianjun, why don't you just go and grab it? One million Zhongbiao is about the same as silver, and one million imperial gold coins. Do you think Bai Wufeng is made of gold?"

Everyone here is basically a person who has rolled out of the pile of dead people. Who has not killed a lot of people? When they heard the conditions proposed by Wang Qianjun, they suddenly felt like a pot exploded. Since the Central Asian Empire moved south, the national treasury has been almost completely destroyed. After running out, the mints in China and Libya are operating day and night. In order to fill the vacancy of copper required for minting money, the mints have already been severely short of silver and copper, and even use scraps. Iron comes with heavy weight. Out of one thousand Zhongbi silver coins, at least five hundred are made of iron. Such large amounts of inferior silver coins have caused the commerce in many areas to completely stop. People would rather barter than use Qianjing for transactions. The last silver and copper coins, and as a wilderness area hit hard by smuggling, the imperial gold coins are abundant and can be exchanged for lightweight gold tickets at any time, which is much easier to use than the iron and silver coins circulating in Central and Bibia.

"One million Zambian silver? If you don't give me money, you will have to sacrifice your life. Whoever wants to go will go." Wang Qianjun grinned and squatted on the position with his fat ass. Don't look at it, it is one million, but the ratio is The disparity is extremely disparate: one to one hundred, or even more. If one million Zambian silver coins can be exchanged for ten thousand imperial gold coins, it is considered a profit.

"Isn't there anyone who thinks about the overall situation?"

Song Yang, the elder of the Sirius Army just now, had an angry look on his face. He looked angrily at the leaders of all the forces participating in the meeting, and said in a solemn voice, "Although the Yanzhou camp is strong, it only has a few thousand people, and there are still a large number of people to worry about." It’s so difficult for everyone to work together to capture Bai Wufeng!”

Quiet.

No one else seemed to hear anything.

you! "Song Yang's eyes protruded and his whole body was trembling. He had to hold the conference table with his hands to stand steady. He gritted his teeth and raised his hands with slight trembling. "Whoever can catch Bai Wufeng, I will personally reward him with 20,000 imperial gold." It was still a cold scene. No one answered, but there was a look on his face. The color has changed slightly. Twenty thousand imperial gold is not a small amount in the wilderness. As Song Yang said, the Yanzhou camp is strong, but its biggest weakness is that more than a thousand people need to protect a large amount of supplies. No matter how strong the thousands of elites in the baggage are, their strength is quite limited.

"If Elder Song Yang can raise the bounty to 30,000 yuan, I would be willing to give it a try." It was a middle-aged man with slightly gray temples and sharp eyes.

"Chen Gongwei? Aren't you Bai Wufeng's best friend? How could..." Song Yang saw a trace of surprise on his face when he saw this middle-aged man, and the others also had similar expressions. It seemed that They simply didn’t believe what this middle-aged man said. His name was Chen Gongwei. His Chen Jiajun was a powerful force in the Sirius Army. He had a very good relationship with Bai Wufeng. No one expected that he would come forward.

"Why are you all so surprised!" Chen Gongwei smiled coldly, "I have a close personal relationship with Bai Wufeng, but I also know what ethics, justice and shame are. Bai Wufeng left the Sirius Army and went to the mountain province of Ximanzi, which is for Zhongbi. Ya's betrayal, everyone will punish him!"

"Okay. Everyone can kill him!" Song Yang laughed with a weird expression, "Chen Gongwei, do you really think we are so stupid? You are obviously planning to fake the pursuit and let the real person go. If you really let me Go and chase them, I’m afraid you will escort them all the way into the mountain province!”

"Since Elder Song Yang doesn't believe it, forget it!" Chen Gongwei's face turned cold and he stopped talking.

In a woodland outside Tianlang City, an imperial guard cavalry galloped over, jumped off his horse in front of the woodland, gave a military salute to Mu Lihe, the leader of the ninth banner of the imperial frontier army, and said, "Bai Wufeng's Yanzhou The battalion has left. His Majesty’s order is to kill anyone who pursues us!”

"Yes, I understand." Mulihe nodded on horseback, looking coldly and ruthlessly at Tianlang City at the edge of the earth in the distance. Behind him, the long tassels and thick armor on the helmets of the five thousand imperial cavalry appeared. Shining brightly after being washed by the rain, the upper body is made of a single piece of forged plate armor, and the lower body is made of joints. The protective iron armor, the left hand is a tower shield for protection, and the lower right hand is a cavalry lance on a hook. The sharp tip of the lance is placed forward. The Imperial Eagle flag flutters in the wind and rain, making a crackling sound. The sound, the cold raindrops hit the cavalryman's face, flowing down the cold armor to the ground,
