Realm of Power

From the top of the Sky Temple in the Port of Hérault, you can see the Hérault Eastern Army swooping in from the outside like a huge spreading arc, swooping on the outermost defense line like a tide. The Empire launched from the building complex of the Port of Hérault. The heavy crossbow smashed down like a meteor, and the war spread.

"Woo, woo!" One hundred thousand soldiers of the Eastern Army roared at the same time, and the various teams billowed like red dust clouds.

"The Fourth Army is already close to the left, and our Sixth Army cannot lag behind!" an officer of the Héro East Army shouted on his horse, "There is a golden port in front of us. Whoever gets in first will be the first to make a fortune." !" In order to inspire the whole army to fight to the death, the officers of Ayrault were already robbing them nakedly. Encourage the soldiers. It is true that the shooting of the imperial ballistae was too fierce. Those who died from the arrows were better. The injured soldiers were lying in a pool of blood and wailing. Their broken limbs and arms were lying all over the ground. The ground was stained red with human blood. , the Eastern Army soldiers who were attacking behind saw this scene and slowed down, but they heard the shouts of the officers,

"Go forward, rush into Port Hérault and make a fortune!" "The women in Port Hérault are all kinds of charming, from all over the world, rush in and grab them!"

Compared to here, shouts came from other troops, and the eyes of all the soldiers of the Eero East Army turned red, like wild beasts seeing blood, full of ferociousness. This time, they had come thousands of miles away, and they had no hope of military exploits. This was in front of them. If this golden port is preempted by others, wouldn't it be a wasted trip? "Forward!" One hundred thousand Hérault Eastern Army and dozens of infantry teams launched a full-line attack on Hérault Port. They spread out and rolled forward. A spear phalanx was lit up above each infantry team in an extremely neat manner, and Above each square, their respective team flags fly,

"Erect the shields!" the commander gave the order, and they all raised their long shields, like a wall of copper and iron, advancing majestically with the dull sound of "dong dong, dong dong". The crowd was like a sea, and only a beam of fire was seen coming from the direction of the port. The cold light shines in, like small waves rising in the sea, "The ballista is shooting!"

One after another, sharp roars tore through the sky, just like a dense meteor shower falling into this sea of ​​people, splashing blood-red waves.

The queue of the Eero East Army only stagnated slightly, and then the soldiers in the rear row unwaveringly stepped on the bloody corpses in the front row. Arrows came from across the sky, whizzing past the ears and shoulders, or making a low pop. Chi, there will definitely come next There was a low groan of pain. As the distance got closer, the front line obviously withered away and could not maintain its formation. The dead and wounded soldiers lay down on the ground. The injured soldiers huddled up in pain on the ground, dying. The person's shēn Yin screams were mixed with the sharp whistling sound. The team behind them walked past them expressionlessly, and the soil under their feet was soaked in blood and became soft and slippery.

The golden port is right in front of you, within arm's reach. In front of you is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire. The soldiers of Eero's Eastern Army will also move forward, following the bloodstains of the phalanx in front of them. The nearest Eero unit is a hundred meters away from the port. The leader of the group Officer Eero drew his sword and waved it, shouting, "For His Majesty the Emperor, for Eero, and for everyone to make a fortune, come on!"

"Long live, go ahead! As if being given a shot of stimulant, the Eero East Army started to make a noise, and the teams from all walks of life were just like the spring tide, swooping towards the outside of the port.

After a fierce blockade, the Imperial Army began to shrink its defense line and evacuate towards the city. Countless Eero troops rushed into the urban area of ​​Eero like a fierce flood. The black beacon smoke in the sky, the flames dotted up and down are still burning, the battle is spreading, or in other words, the prey is stepping into the trap set.

"The Imperial Army actually withdrew into the city like this? It only lasted for such a short time!" Kablin, the commander of the Erro East Army, was riding on a war horse, looking at the Imperial Army retreating into the city with a hint of surprise on his face. "Look. What Sir Lai said is correct, we may encounter a newbie on the battlefield! "

"It shouldn't be the military god emperor, but at least he is an important minister of the empire, otherwise these regular imperial troops would not appear in the Port of Héro!" The generals of Héro's Eastern Army were also excited about the unexpectedly good situation. The situation gave them more confidence to win. Although the Port of Hérault covers an area of ​​five or six miles, it is just a city, not a real fortress. Even if the Imperial Army built a defense in the city of Hérault, How effective can it be in the face of more than three times the force?

"Let's go and see what this rumored golden port looks like!"

In a relaxed mood, Kabulin raised his hand to all the soldiers and said sternly that the strongest of the imperial army was the long-range crossbow, so before the battle, Kabulin expected that the most likely to suffer casualties would be the periphery of Port Hérault, those It was obviously an open area that had been bulldozed by the Imperial Army, as well as several trenches filled with various sharp edges, all of which were used by the Imperial Army to consume their own strength. However, they did not expect that the Imperial Army would retreat to the city so quickly. , directly discarding all the terrain advantages in the periphery! This golden port was completely exposed in front of him,

"Everyone forward!"

The eyes of the soldiers of the Eero East Army were shining and they were shouting. In front of a violent group like the army, the rumored Golden Port was like a beautiful woman who had taken off her clothes. What was there to hesitate about! What appeared in front of the soldiers of the Eastern Army of Hérault were the streets in the Port of Hérault, which were like a huge fork in the road. In front of them were the backs of Imperial soldiers in black armor hurriedly escaping for their lives.

"Come here, it's all shops, it should be the fattest trading area!" A soldier looked ahead with bright eyes and shouted. As soon as he finished speaking, it was already a hell. A group of Imperial crossbowmen emerged from the windows of the high-rise houses. Several Imperial heavy crossbows mounted on tall buildings were also launched at the same time. The powerful Imperial crossbow arrows were swept out one after another.

"Watch the heights!"

"We were ambushed!" The soldiers of the Eastern Army of Eero were hit by arrows and screamed, shēn yin, blood, and death. They trampled on each other in panic. The sharp sound of wind that broke through the air filled the space. The soldiers of Eero who had just entered the city were bumping into each other and pushing each other. They were thrown into a ball, and pieces of flesh and blood flew everywhere. In this terrible metal storm, the flesh and blood body was as fragile as paper, and was crushed to pieces in an instant.

The miserable howl reached the ears of Kablin, the commander of the Erro Eastern Army behind him. The smile on Kablin's face suddenly solidified. The other Erro teams that had not yet entered the city all slowed down. It was like the sound of cheering after finding wealth, but more like the sound coming from a slaughterhouse,

"Sir, the Fifth Army, the Eighth Army, and the Eleventh Army were ambushed by the imperial troops on the high-rise houses on both sides of the street." The fast horses galloping from the front were violently reined in in front of Kablin. General Leya was also injured by an arrow, please be released temporarily!"

"No, how can we withdraw at this time? Tell Leya that even if he dies in the battle, he must not retreat even one step, otherwise I will kill him personally!" Kabulin said firmly, "The attacking troops must continue to move forward, even if Fight to the last soldier! Now that this battle has begun, there is absolutely no word about retreat!"

Kablin, who was usually quite kind to his subordinate generals, suddenly showed such a tough attitude, which shocked the other generals of Aero.

Kablin turned around with an extremely serious expression, his eyes shining brightly, "Everyone, the emperor's attention must be on the attacking block at this moment! The defense of the port must be weak, which is exactly the opportunity for us to win it in one go. The third Army and the Ninth Army, immediately attack towards the port, and we must capture the port before dark today at all costs! Otherwise, once it gets dark, the Imperial Army trapped in the Port of Hérault may escape by boat! "

"Yes, Lord Kablin!" The generals all understood. No wonder the troops who were attacked were not allowed to withdraw. It turned out to be a cover for the assault on the port area, but so were the three legions who rushed in first. Everyone was still there. After a bloody battle, they just want to go in and eat alone! Deserve it! "All the troops, attack the South District!" Kabulin raised his hand and shouted. The South District is the port area. Previously, he deliberately deployed a weak attack force in the direction of the South District in order to invade the city in other areas. Finally, after attracting the attention of the Imperial Army, the most elite troops were truly put into action. In this direction, it was like a long knife held high cut across an arc and then slashed down at a strange angle. The number of Aero's troops who originally attacked the southern area was only three or four thousand, and the number suddenly increased. All the troops that had not yet rushed into the city suddenly turned around and rushed towards the southern district.

"Kill, capture the port!"

The main force of the Eero Eastern Army came out in full force, and countless Eero soldiers poured into the south area. In panic, the Imperial Army only had time to quickly add hundreds of crossbowmen to block it desperately. The soldiers of the Eero Eastern Army carried shields and fiercely He rushed forward, braved the rain of bows and arrows, and used his powerful force to knock down an earthen wall built by manpower in front of the southern district.

"Come on!" Shouted all day long, stepping on large pieces of gravel and bricks, the Eero soldiers crossed the last ditch outside the South District and went straight into the streets of the South District.

The cry of death came from outside the stained glass of the temple. The black-haired emperor picked up the tea in his hand and took a sip. He raised his head and looked at the graceful figure coming down the steps of the corridor in front.

"Where is His Highness the Pope going? Although the defense force around the temple is enough to ensure that Eero's army cannot get close to here, if His Highness wants to go further, it is difficult to say. If I were Your Highness, I would not You're going to run around at this time!" The fat man put down the tea in his hand with a calm expression, and looked at the pretty and pale Putamia with eyes as sharp as a knife.

Under the fat man's sharp and trembling eyes, Putamia knew that her attempt to peep into the secrets of the Imperial Army's operations had been seen through, so she bit the bullet and said, "His Majesty Falcon is really joking, everything is like this outside." , the Eastern Army of 100,000 eros could come in at any time, why would I run outside? I just felt it was too boring to stay up there, so I went out for a walk. ""Such weather is indeed a bit... "It's dull, but your Highness can rest assured. I believe things will change soon." The fat man smiled lightly, raised his hand to Putamia and gestured to sit down. "If Your Highness is interested in the operation of the Imperial Thunder God, In fact, there is no need for this at all. I can send someone to send you a copy of the operation manual. "What His Majesty Falcon said is true! You can really give us an operation manual... ahem..."

Potamia's voice suddenly stopped, and she realized something was wrong. The Falcon Emperor was obviously deliberately deceiving herself. His pretty face was full of embarrassment, and he made a dry cough to cover up. "It's just an operation manual, His Highness the Pope." There is no need to be so concerned. In fact, if His Highness the Pope can listen to what I have to say, the empire can even train a team of thunder god operators for the Order State, and coupled with the empire's fifty thunder gods, it is guaranteed to make the Order army as powerful as a tiger. Add wings and be invincible! "The fat man had a profiteer's smile on his face. It was a big mistake to give fifty thunder gods to the religious regiment. He only gave them to the thunder gods, but did not train the thunder god operators for the religious regiment, and then sent them to attack the city. The test team of the Thor Type 2 also deliberately reminded Putamia that without the correct operation method, the power of the Imperial Thunder God might not be able to be exerted even half, and indeed they had trapped this extremely ambitious female pope!

"Actually, it's nothing. His Highness the Pope has led the religious army to fight against the Eero Empire for more than half a year. Although he has gained an advantage, the domestic economy is close to collapse. I believe that what His Highness the Pope needs most now is two things, the same is the capital of Eero. "The other thing is a lot of financial support!" The fat man stood up and came to the window, looking at the long black smoke that filled the sky over various areas of the city, and said word by word.

"I believe that after going through this period of time, His Highness the Pope should understand that you are His Highness the Pope of the Order, but that does not mean that His Highness the Pope will always be you." The fat man stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, and his voice paused. , said in a concentrated voice, "Although this attack on Eero was successful in the end, in the true sense Apart from a battalion of wounded soldiers and a high national debt, how much value does it have to the upper echelons of the Order? I heard that the upper echelons of the Order are quite dissatisfied with Your Highness for launching this war. Even if His Highness returns home victorious in the end, what will he do? It’s hard to say whether he can keep his position as pope!”

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Putamia's body trembled slightly, her charming eyes flashed, revealing her inner panic.

"The Imperial Bank can provide financial support to His Highness, and can cooperate with His Highness to build the Order State's commercial fleet. I believe this will be of great help in improving domestic dissatisfaction with His Highness."

The fat man's eyes fell on Pudamia's pretty face with clenched hands and hesitation. Pulling the Order State completely into the empire's camp was of extremely important significance to the empire in Barrow, southern Europe. The empire had already controlled Fezer on the southern west coast. The six central countries have also been included in the sphere of influence. Now if the Order countries can be brought into the empire's camp, then the entire coastline of Barrow in southern Europe will completely become the empire's territory of influence.

This will mean that the imperial trade route connects the east and west along the Barro coastline and land routes in southern Europe, which will greatly promote the development of imperial trade and expand its influence.

The conservative political and religious rule of the Order State has always made the empire make little progress in this area. Because of the existence of this barrier, the empire's trade routes in Barro in southern Europe have to bypass the coastline of the Order State. In terms of land trade, The trade routes that cost a lot of manpower and money to build had to stop in the Order Country area.

"Trading fleet?"

Potamia blinked her eyes. The conditions put forward by the emperor undoubtedly moved her heart. The religious legion suffered heavy losses one after another. What they need most now is news that can revive people's hearts. After the battle of Lutia Castle, she also began to realize that she did not Not just one person, but a group. If she loses power, the unlucky ones will be all the subordinates who follow her and fight bloody battles. From that moment on, she is no longer a pure servant of God, she is a team The leader!

"Your Majesty, the Eero Eastern Army has suddenly turned to attack the Southern District!"

The door of the hall was pushed open, and an imperial guard walked in from the outside and reported to the emperor.

"Southern District, isn't that the port? Putamia's face changed. Once the war situation is unfavorable, leaving from the port is inevitable. And the Aero army suddenly attacked the Southern District, obviously wanting to completely keep the emperor in Egypt. Luogang

"South District? I really can't wait." The fat man turned back from the window, looked at Putamia with a cold smile, "Your Highness, are you interested in watching a grand performance with me?"

"A performance specially prepared for these 100,000 eros of the Eastern Army?" Putamia was stunned for a moment, looking at the emperor's sly smile with slightly raised corners of his mouth, which unconsciously reminded her of Lutia In the Battle of Zibao, the emperor personally commanded 30,000 imperial cavalry to kill an army of 200,000 eros with a sword!\t (https:)
