Realm of Power

In front of the Rutia Sub-Fort, under the sunshine, more than 100,000 members of the Order rushed at the ancient outer wall of the Rutia Sub-Fort with overwhelming momentum. The outer wall of the sub-fort was already filled with densely packed corpses. The high-spirited Order army was like a swarm of locusts, and the dense flow of people quickly collapsed the outer wooden fence fortifications. Rows of siege ladders were heavily leaning against the battlements that had been stained with human blood. The heavily armored temple mutiers held white lions. The shields with emblems quickly climbed up the wooden ladder, while the defenders above raised their swords and chopped down fiercely. The weapons hit the metal shields with a clanging sound. Behind the infantry charge, the arrows of the Eero archers fell on the sub-fort like raindrops. The Eero defenders who were hit by arrows kept falling from the high battlements like dumplings. The Eero side had only more than 10,000 troops in the direction of the sub-fort, and they were facing thousands of knives, swords, and spears that outnumbered their own number and poured onto the city road. Thousands of soldiers from the Order were transferred from behind the battlements. The resistance line of the Ero soldiers had been pushed back.

"Protect His Highness!"

The Ero guards shouted loudly, like a dam made of flesh and blood, forming the most tragic scene in the attack and defense of the Rutia sub-fortress. More than half of the guards had given up guarding the entire outer wall. They gathered together densely, forming a human wall, guarding the Ero prince Nikeante, whose face was ashen, and retreated to the highest tower of the sub-fortress. The guards The soldiers formed an extremely effective blocking array of spears. The dense spear tips flashed the terrifying sharpness of metal under the beautiful sun, but they still underestimated the determination of the religious army to attack the Rutia sub-fortress this time. Looking at the long spear array standing in front of them, a religious officer twitched his solemn face and uttered a word from his thin lips: "Kill!"

"Kill. Don't let them come up!"

"Kill them up, kill all these Ero people!"

The officers of both sides encouraged each other and even picked up their weapons to join the battle. On the dozens of steps at the entrance of the tower, the guards and the religious army fought together, forming a huge melee. Hundreds of people gathered at the narrow entrance of the city road to fight, resulting in a lot of blood and sacrifice. With the fall of the outer wall, every space in the Rutia sub-fortress became a battlefield. The stables, the slaves' quarters, and the main corridor were full of fighting soldiers. Although they knew that they could not defend the Rutia sub-fortress, as the personal guards of His Royal Highness Prince Ero, the guards still insisted on fighting to the death. The tradition of the last person

"For His Highness, for Eero, we, the Royal Guards, have reached the most glorious moment!" A blood-soaked Eero Royal Guard looked proudly at the Legion soldiers who wanted to capture him alive, and jumped off the 20-meter-high stone wall of the Rutia Sub-Fort. None of the Royal Guards begged for surrender, some just fought to the death, and some just died together. Many Royal Guards had swollen arms and could not see the enemy or companions at all. They only knew to wave their swords forward, waving, waving, until they were finally knocked down! Because the battle was too fierce, a lot of blood flowed down the stairs of the city road, which looked like a flood under heavy rain.

"We have already attacked! At this speed, I believe it won't take long to capture the Rutia Sub-Fort. As long as we take down the Rutia Sub-Fort, we can set up Thor from a high position. Although I don't know how much casualties it can cause to the 200,000 Eastern Border Army of Ero, at least it is much better than nothing."

A Templar Knight quickly stepped up and saluted to report, "Lord Nagia asked me to come back and report. Our army has broken through the outer wall of the Rutia Sub-Fort. The Third Army and the Fourth Army are doing the final cleanup work." After the Templar Knight finished reporting, he saluted dignifiedly. Behind him, a huge black smoke column that went straight up to the sky burned in the direction of the Rutia Sub-Fort. Even a blind man could see that the Rutia Sub-Fort was finished!

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Pope Pudamia nodded, her pretty face slightly frowned, her long hair like a waterfall under the pure white cap was slightly blown by the wind, and she attacked the Lutia sub-fortress with several times the elite force, and the attack was completely reckless. It was not a surprise that they could break in. Instead, it was the cold-eyed observation of the Ero side that really made Pudamia's fingers clench tighter and tighter.

As analyzed before the war, the biggest difficulty in capturing the Lutia sub-fortress was not the defensive outer wall of the sub-fortress itself that could withstand large-scale engineering weapons, but the Ero army that came out of the Ero capital and was in a stalemate with the army of the cult. In order to deal with the opponent's rescue, another 60,000 to 70,000 troops of the 150,000 cult troops were stationed in front of this Ero army.

This was an attack and also a test! From the beginning of the attack till now, the faces of Pudamia and her generals have become paler and paler. Even the news of the victory in the attack on the Rutia Sub-Fortress cannot weaken the chilling feeling in the hearts of the commanders of the Order at this moment, because everything has been confirmed that what the Emperor of the Empire said is not intimidation, not groundless!

Although the news came from the Falcon Emperor himself, the people of the Order still have a glimmer of luck. What if the Falcon Emperor is wrong? Maybe there are not 200,000 Eero troops heading towards the battlefield?

But the fact is that, after staring at the brutal strangulation of Lutia Castle for more than an hour, the main army of the Ero Kingdom, which was facing its own army, just stood silently, preferring to watch Lutia Castle be captured. There will never be a single soldier left. The meaning behind this is enough to make the generals of the Order State feel cold in their hearts and make their hair stand on end. I am afraid that what the Emperor of the Empire said is true. Even if the 200,000 Eero army from the east is about to arrive on the battlefield, there is definitely a decisive force approaching the battlefield, and this force belongs to Eero's side. Otherwise, the Eero capital will never behave like this. If they don't think that The victory was guaranteed, and the opponent would definitely not scare the enemy away. Tens of thousands of Aero troops actually sat back and watched Lutia's fortress fall step by step.

"Everyone, since we have captured Lutiya Castle, please start making arrangements immediately!" No longer daring to delay at all, Putamia looked away at the east and said coldly, "We Time is very tight. The life and death of the army this time is at stake. Even if we know that the Lutianzi Fort The area has not been completely cleared yet, so we must move the army quickly towards the Lutia Fort! Who knows when the vast plains with the same blue sky will be filled with countless Eero troops, and I will be overwhelmed. Yu Wan’s religious regiment has become the nourishment for this land’s blooming mountain flowers in the coming spring!”

The cold wind blows in the face. Under the huge military flag of Emperor Eero, staring at the black smoke billowing Lutiya Castle in the distance, Emperor Eero Farouk's body on the horse swayed slightly, and his face was pale as if he had lost it. Blood-colored, he raised his hand slightly several times but put it down several times, Eero The entire army was in a state of solemnity. The sound of the war flags fluttering in the wind was like the sound of wind blowing through a dense forest. The spears towering toward the sky were like a large forest. Such a large number of troops were just watching a show. This was for Eero It's quite a feeling of contempt for the generals!

The Lutian Fort fell in this way, and was submerged by the religious legion in front of them like a tide. The generals all had heavy expressions on their faces. A few generals who wanted to speak were met by the emperor's cold and majestic gaze. In the end, nothing could be said. The emperor didn’t even want his eldest prince. What he did was not Tie this pocket more firmly, and strive to annihilate all the more than 100,000 religious regiment troops in the Lutianzi Fort area. Complete the battle and completely eliminate the ancient enemy of the religious regiment for the Ero Empire before his death. , the emperor has made such sacrifices. As a general under the emperor, there is nothing more to say, except to fight to the death.

The morale of Eero's army is rising. Under Emperor Eero's deliberate stimulation, the morale of Eero's entire army, which was originally low due to the breach of the outer defense line, is like being ignited by fire. It is burning. Revenge, we want revenge! The breathing of the Eero soldiers seemed rapid and powerful. The death of tens of thousands of their companions and the fall of the Lutia sub-fort were like an invisible knife that made more than half of the recruits in the Eero army feel what war is and what invasion is. The murderer's ferocity and tens of thousands of red eyes sharing the same hatred with the enemy made even the soldiers of the Order Army on the opposite side tremble inwardly.

Thirty miles away, the emperor, who was returning from Lutia Fort, also stopped his horse's hooves on a mound at this moment. His eyes were dazzling, and a red line appeared on the horizon in the distance where he could see. The red line was expanding rapidly, and soon it turned into a long red line, and then turned into a red river as it expanded. Finally, as if all the rivers returned to the sea, all the red lines gathered together. Looking at the endless red ocean, the fat man narrowed his eyes slightly. With his sharp eyesight that was different from ordinary people, he could see as if Why can't you see that the red line is thousands of troops marching? The light cavalry surged forward from both sides of the marching column. Thousands of horse hooves trampled the same land many times. The infantry formation was orderly, as if A red hurricane is sweeping everything with an unstoppable momentum. The direction of this hurricane is exactly the direction of Lutia Fort.

"As expected of the elite troops who have been fighting against the Kingdom of Aden in the east for hundreds of years, such prey can be considered to have some value!"

The fat man stared at the red flowing in the distance, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. This army, which did not order to be recalled even when the King of Aero was trapped, would suddenly be attacked by the religious legion without any defense. Appearing on the battlefield, it is very likely that the religious regiment will collapse without a fight, but it is difficult to say now. The key point of everything is Let’s see who can occupy the Lutiya Fort. This fort is located high up and can overlook the area for several miles. From a geographical point of view, in the royal capital area where the entire terrain is a great plain, the outstanding geographical location of this fort can be said to be It is uniquely endowed, and the high position of Lutia Fort can be the first to detect the approaching Hero Eastern Army, and then make adjustments in advance.

"Let's go back to Port Hérault immediately!"

The fat man raised his hand and shouted to the more than a hundred Imperial Guards behind him that the Eero East Army was advancing at an alarming speed. If the Order State was really willing to do what he said and set up a defense line with the Lutian Fort as the core, even if Even in the face of a surprise attack by the 200,000 Eero Eastern Army, he is still capable of fighting. As long as he can delay enough time, he may not be able to join forces with the religious legion and completely bury the last bit of power of the Eero Empire! This is something that is difficult to achieve strategically. After all, the Héro Empire is a big country in the south for more than a hundred years. It has a strong domestic foundation. In addition, the current Emperor Héro can be regarded as a versatile monarch in both civil and military affairs. If it weren't for this time He was seriously ill and eager to defeat Eero's old enemy, the Order State, before he died. He wanted to bring together Eero's most combat-effective troops, or he would not rush to send 200,000 Eastern Frontier troops in such a hurry. The military callback gave the empire such a golden opportunity!

"Your Majesty, the Eero East Army has reached such a distance. Do you need to send someone immediately to tell the Order Army?" An imperial guard asked for instructions.

"No need. I'm afraid that by the time our people arrive, the National Army of the Order will have already encountered the Eastern Army of Eero." The fat man waved his hand. He had already said what needed to be said and done what needed to be done. He even said something to show his sincerity. Personal warning, if the religious legion still insists on going its own way, then the Lutian Fort will be the final burial place for hundreds of thousands of religious legion soldiers. Since there is no way to intervene on the battlefield here, it is better to rush back to the Port of Hérault as soon as possible to arrange

It was already midnight when the fat man rushed back to Port Hérault, and he was surprised to see Palstina already waiting at the villa.

"I'm sorry that His Majesty changed all his plans because of me!"

Parstina nodded and handed the steaming towel to the fat man with complicated eyes. After learning that the emperor only brought more than a hundred guards to the Lutiya Castle during the fierce battle during the day, Parstina Stina's beautiful face looked even paler. Thinking of her willful words in the past two days, she felt uneasy. She originally thought that the emperor must have returned to Fei. Shan, I didn’t expect that the emperor actually went to Lutia Castle. What could he do at Lutia Castle at this time? Just think about it and you would know that he would definitely go to inform the Order of the danger. Just because of his own willfulness, the emperor is After running back and forth for more than a hundred miles, looking at the emperor's dusty face, Parstina's heart was already entangled.

"Nothing, maybe you are right. Since Port Hérault is a territory of the Empire, then the Empire should shoulder its own responsibilities! I have ordered the mobilization of the Imperial Army. If everything goes well, Port Hérault can avoid this war." The fat man took it from Palstina's fair hands. She wiped her face with a steaming handkerchief and said casually, but she didn't know that such words fell into Parstina's ears, which made the former saint of the Sky Cult feel more and more self-blame. Tens of thousands of the empire's army were about to The reason for setting foot on this battlefield is probably just because of my own willfulness! In fact, I know very well that the lives of the 300,000 people in Port Hérault do not have much weight in the eyes of the emperor. The emperor's words like this are more like a strategy to comfort himself.

"Your Majesty, Sir Varisian's 30,000 troops have arrived at the Port of Hérault!" Just when the two were slightly embarrassed, the Imperial Guards brought news that surprised the fat man. The fat man asked Varisian to arrive within three days. Port of Hérault, and it has only been two days now, there is a full extra day. This is definitely the difference between heaven and earth for the entire strategic layout. Time is sometimes a heavy weight on the balance of victory and defeat!
