Realm of Power

"Move forward, the Kalisu people will never retreat!" The low shouts came one after another from the Kalisu border guards. At their feet were the corpses of the Kalisu royal troops who died in the battle spread out along the ground. The Kalisu border guards Silent, just silently following the queue forward, the fluttering flags of the Calisu Border Guards began to cover the field, rows of spears flashed in the sun, giving off a chill, and everyone had expressions of determination. Jue, with a posture ready to fight to the end, said, "After this is the royal capital, everyone, bring out all your energy and energy!" The voice was low, straight into people's hearts, and the steps were lifted up and stepped down neatly, and the shaking ground was shaking slightly. Trembling, the more than 20,000 Kalisu border guards lined up, with the sound of armor clashing, and heavy footsteps hitting the ground. No one looked back, just like layers of wild waves, crashing over. "Border Guards!"

Lytle reined up his horse on the mound and remained silent for a long time. As the former number one general of Calisu, he did not expect to see such a scene. In these poorly equipped Calisu border guards, Lytle actually saw something he had not seen for a long time. The arrogance of the Callisu soldiers. Eighty years ago, it was the same army. It was here that they launched the final siege against the Martin Tooth Army who was cornered. They also adopted this steady and steady attack array.

Although from the equipment point of view, the Kalisu Border Guards in front of them are probably inferior to the so-called refugee regiment armed by Salton. After all, the equipment of the refugee regiments are all equipped by the former Fezer regular army. The Kalisu Border Guards are in Ten years ago, it might have been the focus of the Carisu royal family. However, in recent years, due to the large-scale replacement of the army by the Kalisu royal family, the well-equipped teams were removed one by one to form the royal army. Naturally, the remaining border guards could be delayed as long as they could. Even the weapons were originally two years old. Those who have been replenished have not been replaced for four years.

In contrast, at the other end of the valley about 200 meters away from them, the imperial black-armored cavalry, equipped to the teeth, began to form a team with murderous intent. Like a river converging into the sea, the imperial cavalry team retreating from the front gradually formed a black line. The lines are getting bigger and wider. The armors of these black-armored cavalry are the equipment of the first-line elite in the imperial army. The war horses under their crotches are not the slightly lower southern horses from the Barro region in southern Europe. Instead, they are all tall horses brought from the north of the inland sea. Not only can they carry heavy loads and initiate charges, but they can also have far-reaching explosive power in a short period of time. Far more powerful than the war horses of South Europe Barrow, "I didn't expect that the other party could be so calm under such circumstances. I had underestimated them before!"

Estante came from the front and reined in the horse, took off the metal covering on the helmet, and said with emotion, his whole armor was covered with red blood, and he didn't know whether it was his or someone else's, and the red cloak behind him was also twisted. Together, even he, the flag commander, was like this. However, the seemingly devastating and violent impact just now was not as easy as it seemed on the surface. Looking at the slowly but extremely steadily advancing Kali Su army, Estan Te's eyebrows frowned

Next to him, Lytle nodded in agreement, raised his hand and pointed forward, and said in a solemn voice, "This is called Hong'an Valley. It is a valley between two sloping slopes. It is a rare corridor without woodland near the capital of King Calisu. Eighty years ago, card hacking The Lisu Kingdom's 150,000-horse army was plagued by the harsh and humid environment of the tropical rainforest, coupled with the prevalence of malaria in the army. They were in a panic and were attacked by the two fronts of the Kalisu Army and the Feize Army. , this is the final place to retreat.”

"Have the Martin Liga people ever invaded here?"

Estante looked surprised. Only those who have experienced it personally know how terrifying the dense forest in the Calisu region is as a natural defense. If Lytle hadn't led the way, let alone raiding the capital of Calisu, he would have tried to Crossing Calisu's border defenses requires paying a huge price.

"Yes, the Martinliga people had a war with the Kalisu Kingdom 80 years ago. The Martinliga people, who come from mostly dry areas, almost subconsciously chose this place as their last stronghold." Wright You looked at the ground in front of you with a heavy face, and said in a slow voice, "It's not just because the terrain here is special and easy to defend. It’s even more because there is no tropical jungle here that is unforgettable for the Martinliya people. If there is an area in the Kalisu region with an environment that is most similar to their Martinliya Prairie, then it must be here. In the end, there were more than 6,000 Martins in total. Sharptooth Soldier, Martin, a prince and marshal of the Sharptooth Kingdom. Thirty-seven generals died in the valley.

That battle determined the stability of the Calisu Kingdom for eighty years. Human blood dyed the entire valley red. The originally bare hard ground," Lytle's voice paused, continued, "It grew in the second year. The dense shrubs were blown by the wind that passed through the valley, making a swaying and rustling sound. Even the Kalisu people themselves said that it was thousands of Martin's teeth. The human soul is lingering and mourning. In order to commemorate that great victory, we Kalisu people finally named this valley "Hong'an Valley". It is strange to say that we also tried to plant trees in this valley, but it was obviously The trees that can grow lushly not far from the edge of the valley will die within a month once they reach the valley, and they will eventually have to be given up.”

"That's true. There is green all around, but here, the color doesn't seem so unlucky!"

"Not only the color, but the name is also very unlucky. Red An Valley is the Valley of Requiem. For warriors, the most disliked name is this kind of similar name. For us Kalisu people, it only reminds people of to death."

"I don't feel that way yet."

Estante did not find Lytle's strange statement ridiculous. He had experienced more life-and-death battles and was more sensitive to all kinds of so-called weirdness. After all, in life and death on the battlefield, in addition to one's own ability, luck rather accounted for it. Most of them, even if you are a famous general, if you are unlucky, you will still be killed by the soldiers." It has been more than two years since I encountered this. Such an opponent, if possible, I am not willing to fight against such an opponent!" There was a hint of respect in Aitant's tone, "Carisu Border Guards, such an unexpected opponent, "Bai Dan is here!" The person next to him also sighed. This border guard force, which seemed to be in a backward era, was still well-organized at this moment. This is what a kingdom border guard force should look like! If the previous Kalisu army behaved like this, it would be more than twice as difficult to successfully attack the royal capital. Even the royal capital defenders who desperately resisted, after learning that King Kalisu had escaped, they immediately The beasts dispersed, but the border guards in front of them knew that King Carisu was dead. When the kingdom was in danger, they faced the imperial army that killed the elite of the royal army.

This border guard with shabby armor stepped forward in the cold light of the horizon, rolling towards this side without hesitation. Under their feet were the fallen Carisu soldiers. "The body has already entered two hundred meters, we can't wait any longer, let the infantry team come up!" Lytle took a deep breath, his hands trembling slightly,

"Okay! The infantry team is coming up!" Bai Dan, who was in charge of the infantry, gave the order. As the main force of the battlefield, 15,000 imperial infantry appeared on the high ground of the slope. Most of them were in fine scale armor and iron helmets with red tassels. Their footsteps stopped. When it fell, the nail leaves struck each other slightly, making a tiny metallic sound. They are all tall and strong Nords. Their armor almost covers their knees. Behind them is the standard equipment of Nord heavy infantry, eight light javelins.

These javelins that were once stained with blood, the dark red on the tips of the spears, even the wind blowing there carries the smell of blood

Nord heavy armored infantry, the most fierce and brutal existence among the imperial heavy armored infantry, not only because of the thick armor, but also because the Nords have been indoctrinated with bravery ideas since childhood. What they like most is to run into each other head-on during a battle, even if it is two people. Enemies twice the size may not be able to block it If the Imperial Cavalry Division can withstand the thrusting attacks of these Nord heavy armors, then the Nord heavy armored infantry, composed of Nords as the backbone, is really good at piercing the enemy's defense line with one hammer in large-scale battles. The heavy hammer "crossbow shooter begins to attack"

The imperial army took the lead in attacking preemptively. Countless imperial crossbow arrows flew toward the Kalisu border guards below like locusts rising from the horizon. "Erect their shields." The prepared Kalisu border guards neatly raised their shields. It was like a river of silver light suddenly fluctuating. Countless crossbow arrows flew down, hitting the river of light. Countless arrow clusters bounced around like a colorful rain, twisting and flying in the air. . In the rush of arrows, the Kalisu border guards bravely moved forward, rushing forward as if combing, rushing forward! Screams resounded throughout the battlefield. Under the intensive attack platoons of imperial crossbows, some of the Kalisu border guards rushing at the front were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, but the entire queue was advancing faster and faster!

The infantry lines of both sides finally collided with each other. In the field of vision, the human figure and appearance quickly came closer with huge shaking. At the moment of contact, a thunderous shout was heard from the front line along with the light of the sword: " ...Kill! !" The shield was knocked away, and the weapon in his hand was used to chop off the head in front of him! Waves of blood surged out on the front line!

The crisp metal cracking sound of guns breaking and knives breaking resounded through the battlefield like hell. The two-handed axes of the Nord heavy infantry slammed hard on the shields of the Kalisu border guards. The shields were twisted and broken by the smashing. Countless soldiers on both sides Fighting in staggered collisions, shields collided with each other, and tens of thousands of people were crowded on an impact arc of less than 100 meters. , the wave of heads rolled, on the side of the Nord heavy armored infantry, the fine black armor made the Kalisu people very difficult. The swords would either bounce off when they hit it, or a string of red sparks would slip out. They found the weapons of the Kalisu people. Unable to cut his own armor, the Nord heavy infantry was as powerful as a tiger. "Is this the world-famous Imperial heavy infantry?"

When the veteran Elliot saw this scene, his old eyes, which had been used to decades of wind, frost, rain and snow, looked at the ferocious black color that was as motionless as a torrent. His own border guards were unable to parry, and his pupils shrank slightly. The Imperial Army's Although this was not the first time he saw the combat power, it still made Elliott feel incredible. The slopes were filled with shouts of killing, and the infantry lines collided, fought, and dispersed after contact... But it did not waver the veteran Elliott at all. Determination of the road ahead, even if 20,000 border guards were sent up in one breath, the more than 100 meters long line of flesh and blood was washed away like sea water hit by a huge boulder, looking at the flags of the border guards one after another Become staggering, Some were even directly overwhelmed by the black armor of the Imperial Army. The veteran Elliott only frowned slightly. This border guard was forged by him. How could he not feel distressed at all? But now no choice

Abandoning the Karoo Woodland Fortress means a complete hole in the back

No one knows whether the imperial army will come from behind to cover up and kill them. When the time comes, they will be blocked in front and pursued in the back. The tens of thousands of border guards will face a dead end, and in front of them is Anhong Valley, where Martin's Tooth Army fled. This is where the command level was intercepted and killed. If you can't take advantage of it, With the morale of the border guards still intact, they broke through the Hong'an Valley in front of them in one fell swoop. Then the fate of the Martin Liya people was their own fate. However, the battle ahead was indeed quite difficult. The formations were densely packed with few gaps. Collisions and conflicts The fight is so determined that a large number of lives are dying every second.

There was a huge noise, the clash of weapons, the screams of the wounded, all kinds of sounds and shouts like a flood, thousands of queues pushed up, and on the front line of contact, the Imperial heavy infantry wearing thick armor Continuously forming a line, like a huge barrier, the flaming arrows flew through the sky, and half of them landed fifty meters behind the front line, constantly splattering blood.

Rush forward! Rush forward."

The commander of the Sixth Regiment of the Border Guards, Sigburn, loudly supervised the battle and pushed forward with his shield. The guard beside him was hit by a stray arrow, and blood surged. He stepped on a corpse that was still slightly able to move. The Imperial heavy armored infantry's The ax almost passed by his cheek, and Sigburn could feel that the blood on it was still hot. There were swords and swords all around. The smell of blood made people's hearts feel greasy, and he was covered under his feet. The corpse stumbled and lost its balance. If it weren't for the guard nearby, it would have fallen headlong into the blood-red muddy water. Under normal circumstances, it would be nothing, at most it would be embarrassing, but in this intensive debate, Afraid that he wouldn't even have a chance to get up, Skyburn wiped the blood from his face after being helped up. At this moment, an urgent horn sound came from the rear of the Kali Su army.

"What's going on?" Skirburn looked behind him in surprise. That was the emergency evacuation horn.

"Sir, look behind us!" A guard raised his finger with an ugly face and pointed at the rear of the Kalisu army. A large black mass was swarming towards this side. It was an astonishing number of imperial troops. Conservatively It is estimated that it is at least 80,000. The other snakehead, which was originally one of the two-headed snakes, is now in front, so that the discovery of the black one was so late. Seeing this scene, Sigburn felt like he was falling. Entering the ice cave, the imperial army really came from behind!
