Realm of Power

"Tata\

,"The horses' hooves trampled on the dry and hard ground. The trees above their heads had turned into bare branches in the late winter. They were swayed left and right by the night wind, making a whining sound. In the darkness, a group of Eero light cavalry The imperial cavalry quietly appeared here, and more than a hundred people were at the fighting position with the Eero light cavalry. In the woods a few meters away, a stern young officer with blond hair wearing dark red armor looked at the battle ahead with flashing eyes. When he saw that the enemy attacking the Erault cavalry was a group of cavalry wearing black armor. At this time, the blond young officer grinned slightly and finally found the target!

"Lord Atoni, the enemy's attack was so swift and violent that it was very similar to the black-armored cavalry that attacked us that night. According to the guard officer, the same black-armored cavalry suddenly attacked us when our army had already won. The Royal Guards formation of His Majesty the Emperor was overwhelmed, eventually leading to a complete rout of the entire army." A captain of the Hérault light cavalry appeared behind him.

"Black-armored cavalry! Or rather, imperial cavalry!"

The blond young man groaned with red eyes. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed the scene in front of him. The opponent seemed to be completely devastated. With strong combat power, just a short contact, he defeated the equal. The attack of Erault's light cavalry was in pieces. It could be seen that the opponent's side was also a light cavalry. The gap in combat power between the two sides was too obvious, especially the opponent's sharp and accurate long-range bow shooting. There is a feeling of tingling on the scalp,

In such a dark night, it is really amazing to be able to have such an accurate head. The blond young man's face turned a little pale.

The arrow clusters shot from the galloping horses penetrated into the gaps in the armor as if they had eyes. What a terrifying power this was. It had trapped the Eero light cavalry here almost before the two sides came into contact. Chaos, more than two-thirds of the light cavalry were hit by arrows and fell from their horses before the enemy rushed up, and then were attacked by the opponent's powerful slashing power. The combination of combat power displayed was absolutely unmatched by those who have not experienced cruel wars. Impossible to forge

And this is just the combat power of a patrol-sized black armored cavalry!

As the only cavalry commander in the eastern frontier of Hérault, the young officer knows that the combat power of cavalry is completely different in different numbers. The impact of a hundred cavalry and the impact of a thousand cavalry, It is definitely not as simple as one plus one. The impact of a thousand cavalry and the impact of 10,000 cavalry are as big as heaven and earth.

Just a small team is so tough. It is conceivable that when they suddenly faced a surprise attack by more than 20,000 black-armored cavalry that night, it is not difficult to understand why the Emperor's Imperial Guard formation collapsed so quickly. ! According to the remaining officer of the Eero Praetorian Guard, the real culprit of the Eero army's Lutian fort, and the one who attacked the emperor's main formation and reversed the entire battle, was not the Eero people, but a sudden reinforcements. The black armored cavalry emerged from the direction,

If the origin and movements of this black-armored cavalry are not understood, for the Eerodong Army, it will be like feeling a cold sharp blade behind their backs at all times. The opponent was able to forcefully overwhelm the formation of the Emperor's Imperial Guards. , naturally he can use the same trick again and stab Hero's Eastern Army in the back.

Atoni took a deep breath, raised his hand, and said to the light cavalry captain behind him, "Call everyone immediately to come closer to us. The game of cat and mouse is over. Now that the target has been found, the bait cannot be allowed to continue." Running around, the other party is just a patrol, kill Just them and all the Templars, I just want to take the body back with Pope Potamia." The blond officer Atoni showed a ferocious look on his lips. If he hadn't deliberately let off steam, there were only a hundred or so Templars guarding him. How could the bait break through all the way and come here! The Legion Army never imagined that the black-armored cavalry who disappeared after the attack that night was the real target he was looking for! "Yes, I understand!" The subordinate nodded and left. A long and heavy trombone sounded from the direction of the woods, echoing in the surrounding empty hills. More and more rumbles of horse hooves were heard all around. The sound was like a war drum that woke up the entire land. An astonishing number of Eero light cavalry seemed to suddenly emerge from the night. Countless torches lit up from all around.

"It's the black-armored cavalry. We found it. It's the black-armored cavalry!" His voice sounded excited and a bit like gnashing of teeth.

"Are they those bastards who hit and run? Brothers, it's time to wash away the shame with the lances in your hands!" The densely packed Eero light cavalry slowly emerged from three directions like an arc. His eyes immediately caught sight of the black-armored cavalry in front of him who was turning to escape, and then suddenly it came crashing down like a collapse.

"Catch them, don't let them escape."

"These cowards who dare not fight head-on are indeed them!" There were shouts one after another, and an astonishing number of Eero light cavalry were flying like a long red line.

"This is……"

The sudden scene in front of her made Pope Potamia's dark blue eyes filled with shock. The Templar knights behind her had dead expressions on their faces, their heads drooped, and they were running to death no matter who discovered them. , and also sacrificed many companions along the way, only to become the opponent's bait, all with the expression in front of them.

One of the Templars made a voice and said, "How come there are so many light cavalry? If they really wanted to pursue us, they would have caught up and killed everyone. Why, the other party has been following us without a trace?" Take action?

"Idiot, can't you see? We were used as bait by these Eero cavalry!" There are smart people among the Templars. Maybe His Highness the Pope can survive. War breaks out between Eero and the Order State not once or twice. , for the Templars who have firm faith and powerful combat power, the Eero people have always killed them directly after capturing them.

The Templar knight's expression was dull for a moment, and his face suddenly turned red. When all the numbers of Erault's light cavalry were revealed, he quickly realized that the scenes on the road were unreasonable. It was clear that the other party could catch up, but deliberately It was always a close call. These Eero light cavalry pursued them for so long, until the Imperial cavalry showed up and suddenly summoned all nearby troops, obviously using themselves as bait to draw out the Imperial cavalry!

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect the Ero people to have so many cavalry following them."

Putamia also had a pretty face with solemnity, following closely behind the imperial cavalry officer, and said to the imperial cavalry officer with an apologetic face.

"It doesn't matter, His Highness the Pope doesn't need to mind! Even if His Highness the Pope doesn't come, our empire has no intention of hiding anything, and such an army of tens of thousands can't hide it just because it wants to!" Then An imperial officer glanced at the red mass of Eero light cavalry chasing after him. The horse even shook the ground and trembled slightly. He did not show the slightest panic. Instead, he showed an upturned smile. The fish has bitten the hook. They themselves are the bait. Are the Aero people taking advantage of the teachings in front of them? The regimental army, what does it mean to them? Their role is to lead the Aero cavalry into the prepared battlefield.

The war horse was galloping in the dark night, and the cold wind was freezing. Putamia was lying on the horse's back, showing that she was exhausted. Her physique was originally delicate. As the pope, she prayed regularly every day. The time was definitely far longer than the time for exercise. After running desperately for most of the night, she had reached the limit of her physical strength. In the blink of an eye, under the escort of two hundred thousand cavalry troops, she had already rushed into a low-lying corridor.

Even though it was dark, Putamia was still able to tell that the direction was wrong.

What appeared under her eyes were two undulating ravines. The depth was not very high, but the bottom was like an upside-down funnel. Only when she entered the entrance of the corridor did she realize that the width in front was actually a sloping slope. Putamia had just returned from Port Hérault during the day and had no memory of passing this promenade. She couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this the direction to Port Hérault?"

"Your Highness the Pope, the route has indeed been temporarily modified. We cannot take these tails to Port Hérault," the imperial cavalry officer leading the way said calmly. When the imperial officer said this, Putamia was slightly stunned. What does this mean? Although the performance of this imperial cavalry just now impressed her, but in the face of the pursuit of thousands of Erro cavalry, what can these two hundred imperial cavalry do?

"Are you going to run around in circles here to escape pursuit?"

Putamia took a deep breath, and couldn't help feeling ashamed of the wit of this imperial cavalry. Thousands of light cavalry were following closely behind her. Although they had the original intention of diverting the trouble to the east, Putamia Mia is still full of tangles in her heart. As the pope of a dignified religious country, she needs to adopt such a dishonorable method, but there is no other way. As a matter of fact, the strength of the religious regiment's army has been greatly reduced, and their morale has been even lower. Just as soon as the battle began, they were already overwhelmed by the Eero East Army. In just half an hour, two teams collapsed. If you didn't To draw away the attention of the Eero East Army, the more than 100,000 religious regiment troops who had accompanied him in the battle until now would all die here!

In order to prevent the Order Army from being completely wiped out, Potamia used herself as a bait, eventually inducing the Eero East Army to suspend its attack on the Eero East Army. In fact, Potamia herself also wanted to expose the empire to the Eero East Army's sight. Plan, only in this way can the attack direction of the Ero East Army be truly diverted.

"Ahead...is there fire?" Putamia narrowed her eyes into a line, trying hard to see clearly ahead. A bright light entered everyone's field of vision, and as the corridor went deeper, it suddenly appeared in front. A camp was built, and bright yellow firelight came out from the camp. In the cold wind, even just seeing it made people feel... An extremely eager urge to get closer, but if there are thousands of Eero cavalry coming like hungry wolves behind them, it will be a disaster that is enough to kill them. Fire is undoubtedly the best way to guide the pursuers. guide, and judging from the direction in which this imperial cavalry is traveling, it is undoubtedly the direction of the camp ahead.

"Don't look at this camp as simple, but it is not simple inside. His Highness the Pope has been running around all night. If you don't mind, just take a rest here and wait until dawn before going to Port Hérault." The imperial cavalry officer who was leading the way turned around. He came over and said to Putamia who looked solemn.

"Under the attack of thousands of cavalry, what use can such a small camp do? We must stop His Highness the Pope." Putamia could hear the low discussion voices of the Templar knights behind her.

Under the playful eyes of the imperial cavalry officer, Putamia actually nodded, "I feel very tired too, and I am quite satisfied to be treated like this!" "Your Highness, this is absolutely not possible..." "Imperial Is the army trying to kill His Highness? He is actually resting in the camp at this time!"

"Damn it, we actually believed that these stupid guys could save us! The Templar knights behind him were like water drops falling into boiling oil and exploded. On the contrary, the imperial officer's originally somewhat contemptuous expression showed a He became solemn and gave a military salute to Putamia: "Then please invite your highness to enter the camp!" "

"Kakaka"

In the cold wind, the wooden door of the camp was opened from the inside, and the lights inside were cast out. Ignoring the dissuasion of the Templars, Putamia rode towards the camp gate, a trace of struggling hesitation flashed on her pretty face, although she knew the camp It is definitely the most eye-catching target, but if you don't enter the camp, can you still go back? There are thousands of Eero light cavalry behind you. How far can you run with just a dozen Templars as guards? go? Relatively speaking, the camp here is the safest place!

The cold wind of winter night blew across the wilderness layer by layer, like an invisible big hand wrapped around it. At this time, it was being blown away by a strong force.

"The target has entered the camp!"

"It seems that I have realized that I can no longer escape, so I am ready to fight to the death. If this is the case, then just trample this camp into pieces together." The blond young man looked coldly at the firelight of the small camp in front of him, and showed a smile at the corner of his mouth. Cold, slightly raised his hand

Behind him, the horse's hooves stopped steadily. The gathered Eero light cavalry suddenly cut into the earth like a red line. The broken roots spread out in the wind. The firelight reflected in the eyes of the Eero light cavalry, like There was a red fire burning, and the cavalrymen's hands holding their lances tightened unconsciously, and they held their breath for a brief moment almost at the same time.

"Crush them!"

The slightly hoarse voice of the blond young man was like a sudden burst of thunder, like a chill that tore through the night. Countless Eero light cavalry swarmed out, and their horses' hooves rumbled like thunder in the sky, spreading out on both sides like a huge wave. The arc lengthens, the earth becomes dark, and the horses’ hooves gallop!
