Realm of Power

"Sir, the remaining Kalisu troops have agreed to lay down their weapons and surrender. I just hope that you can ensure their safety." Lytle turned back to Salton, breathed a sigh of relief, and persuaded the veteran Ai, who was known for his stubbornness. Lute, it is not an easy task, if it is not for border defense In recent years, the army has been harassed and ostracized by the royal family. Even Elliot, a veteran of the border guard army for 20 years, was transferred back to the royal capital. It is false to say that Elliot was not disheartened, although Elliot was once again The royal family transferred to the border guard army, which seemed to be re-employed, but in fact it was just a puppet used to cooperate with the royal army.

If the Kalisu Army really succeeds in advancing northward this time, its huge victory will eventually fall on the Royal Army. As for the Border Guard Army, there is no question whether it will exist after the war. It is completely the Royal Army. Elliot knew this very well, and the entire border guard also knew it very well. In this life, when it was time to fight, he was so frightened that he abandoned the border guards in the fierce battle and fled without permission. Such a royal army, even the veteran Elliot, who had chosen to be forbearing, was completely disappointed with the royal army. After all, the other Kalisu border guards were even more indignant, so the border guards surrendered collectively!

"Of course, the empire has no habit of abusing prisoners. As long as you are willing to lay down your weapons and surrender, everything in front of you can be forgotten!\

,"Salton nodded with a smile and said in a solemn voice, "Although there are only more than 20,000 Kalisu troops who surrendered to the empire, that is still more than 20,000. If the opponent really fights to the death, even if the imperial army can finally defeat They killed everyone, but I am afraid it would not be possible without tens of thousands of casualties. Now that the casualties of tens of thousands of imperial troops can be reduced, it is naturally better!

"On behalf of all the Calisu people, I would like to thank you for your kindness." Lytle gave Salton a military salute with excitement.

In fact, he was also speculating and uneasy in his heart. The imperial army's tradition of not killing prisoners was true, but it did not mean that the imperial army would really accept any surrender. Look at Feishan's 300,000-strong Bavar army who was slaughtered overnight In the Battle of Li De, the empire did not leave any survivors. A total of 300,000 people were killed by the imperial army in one night. If no one among the 300,000 Feishan troops surrendered, then How is that possible! Although it is said that the Feishan people attacked the imperial army first, resulting in the death of an important official of the empire. The emperor was so angry that he directly issued a cruel order not to take prisoners!

"Lytle, are there any acquaintances of yours among the Kalisu troops who surrendered? If they are willing to join the empire, the empire will give them treatment corresponding to their status. On this point, His Majesty the Emperor has already given orders," Salton Seemingly casually, he raised his hand towards Lytle and spoke words of comfort to Lytle. His eyes swept across the dense emerald carpet-like Kalisu forest in front of him. He had already seen that the Kalisu who came out to talk to Lytle The veteran should be the acquaintance Lytle mentioned, The Kalisu region is already sparsely populated. An empty Kalisu forest cannot become a strategic support point for the empire to enter the central part of Barro in southern Europe. If the empire moves the population, it may not be able to adapt to the unique situation of the Kalisu. The climate, so the imperial army will treat the Kalisu people with courtesy. There is no other way. In the harsh environment here, only the Kalisu people themselves can thrive! "What your Lord means is that the Kalisu area will still be able to survive. Governed by the Calisu people? "Hearing Salton's words, Lytle's body shook slightly.

"Yes, in view of the special nature of the Kalisu region, the emperor plans to appoint your Excellency as the imperial governor of the Kalisu region, and the Kalisu people enjoy the same rights as the imperial people in other regions!" Salton smiled slightly, but sighed in his heart. The emperor saw it accurately. Although Lytle had been involved in the empire for a year, it was only at this moment that Lytle truly joined the empire. Guiding the Imperial Army to raid the capital of Callisu was, to a certain extent, just the emperor's test of Lytle. Now it seems that the emperor made the right bet. Lytle did help guide the imperial army to successfully attack the capital of Callisu, and He also arranged a battle in Hong'an Valley to destroy the largest heavy army group north of the capital of Kalisu. From this moment on, the hundreds of miles north of the capital of Kalisu had completely fallen under the control of the empire! Carisu's door is half open!

In the dawn light, the imperial army once again marched into the capital of Kalisu. This time, it was different from the last successful raid. The strength of the imperial army had changed from 30,000 people in the surprise attack to a force that could defeat the entire southern Europe. Luo was frightened by the 120,000-strong army that gathered in the capital of Kalisu. Outside the city, a large area of ​​imperial military tents covered the land outside the city wall. The flying imperial eagle flag flew for the first time in the central region of Barro in southern Europe. The empire occupied the royal capital of Carisu and completed its attack on Carisu. News of the control of the north also spread to the entire continent immediately,

The capital of Martin Fang Kingdom, Organ Valley Plains

The sunny sky here begins to get hotter, and the huge rocky hills that rise like hills around here show a mineral-rich brown-red color. The Martin Tooth Kingdom does not have a city in the true sense. The so-called city is actually They are gathering places scattered on the Martin Tooth Prairie. The Martin Tooth Prairie stretches across thousands of miles and occupies one-sixth of the southern Barrow of Central Europe.

As the capital of the Martin Tooth Kingdom, Organ Valley was originally the collective name for these four huge rock hills. On both sides of the long street that crosses the huge rock hills, there are scattered houses and buildings, ranging from low thatched huts to tall stone buildings. There are all of them, covering an area of ​​17 or 18 miles. At the end of the long street is a majestic palace, completely built with brown-red stones, like a giant beast sleeping in a sea of ​​red. The light of the sun shines on the Mia marble columns, dyeing the entire column with scarlet. When approaching this majestic building, between the gorgeous column decorations and the wide corridors, you can smell a kind of... The smell of killing and blood

At the entrance of the palace, two rows of palace guard soldiers stood with weapons in hand. Duke Siris, the head of the Martin Tooth Military Department, was waiting at the door. He saw a middle-aged man getting off the carriage in front of him. Duke Siris had no idea. He said with an expression, "There is something wrong with your plan. The Calisu Kingdom's northward march failed. Instead, the imperial army occupied King Calisu's capital. The royal army that the Calisu royal family had painstakingly cultivated was defeated across the board. The imperial army may be at risk at any time." towards us Martin Sharp Fang came to attack. ""I received the news. I didn't expect that the Kingdom of Calisu would be so vulnerable, but there is nothing to worry about. Occupying the capital of Calisu Kingdom does not mean that you have occupied Calisu. Don't Forgot, the Kalisu people still have 100,000 troops in the southern wilderness. As long as the Ansers give up their control, these 100,000 Kalisu troops will attack the royal capital. "The middle-aged man has silver-white hair and is close to... Transparent pupils are known behind the scenes as " "White Fox", the sun shone on his expressionless face. "The problem is that the Ansers have just sent a special envoy to ask us, Martin Sharptooth, to assist them in destroying the Kali Su army, so His Majesty urgently summoned you here to ask questions. "What do you think?" Duke Siris said with a wry smile. "Your Majesty probably won't agree." The middle-aged man was silent for a moment with a serious face. In order to plan Carisu, he has been preparing for six years. He encouraged Carisu six years ago. Lisu royal family With the help of the military rebellion, the army was purged, and in the end, the plan to advance northward was presented, and under various temptations, the Kalisu Kingdom was pushed onto a path of no return for expansion. Now all we have to do is wait until the Kalisu Kingdom really moves north. , if the kingdom's troops are really drained, the Martin Tooth Army can easily occupy the capital of Kalisu in one battle and cut off the north and south of the Kalisu Kingdom. Martin Tooth has been waiting for this battle for eighty years, but now, But there was a sudden change! "The Anser people agreed that as long as we help them destroy the Kalisu army, they will recognize our Martin Fang as their suzerainty, and the entire Kalisu region will be open to us," Duke Siris whispered to the middle-aged man as he walked. , I have to admit that the conditions provided by the Anse people have already moved His Majesty's heart. Although the Kalisu people are There are still 100,000 troops in the Southern Wilderness, but at this moment, the morale of the troops should be almost collapsed, while the Ansers have quietly gathered more than 150,000 troops. Although they are nominally asking for my assistance, Martin Sharptooth, in fact, as long as they I, Martin Sharptooth, will not interfere. After they defeat the Kali Su army, they will recognize us as their suzerain country."

"The Anse people's promises are probably unreliable."

"Of course your Majesty knows that the promise of Anser is unreliable. If it were before, Your Majesty would definitely not agree, but now, the situation is completely different."

"The imperial army is pressing down on the northern part of Kalisu. Our previous plan is no longer possible. Now the Anser people have jumped out and said that as long as we don't help the Kalisu people, we don't need to use any soldiers, and we can enjoy the benefits of the fishermen. Your Majesty may not be unmoved." Duke Siris paused and said in a deep voice, walking along the gorgeous red carpet towards the palace's meeting hall.

The middle-aged man noticed that the guards of the palace were much tighter than usual today. On the long walkway from the palace entrance to the meeting hall, there were royal palace warriors holding sharp weapons standing guard. They were cold, gloomy and solemn. heavy The sound of footsteps echoed, and a palace servant opened the door of the meeting hall for them. Nearly a hundred large candles illuminated the entire hall. Martin's military ministers had already arrived first. It seemed that His Majesty the King was real. "I'm tempted" This time it's really Damn it, how did the imperial army know that the capital of King Kalisu was empty of troops? "" It's incredible. Even if the imperial army dared to enter the dense forest, how could it reach the capital of King Kalisu without anyone noticing? Next? ""Haha, what can I say? There is no doubt that our plan has been leaked. Otherwise, why would the imperial army seize the time so accurately? ""What can you say? How could such a confidential plan be leaked? "In the hall Bursts of low voices discussing

"Your Majesty is here!" The guard captain standing by the door raised his voice and shouted loudly, and everyone immediately fell to the ground. The door of the hall opened, and King Rufit of Martin's Tooth appeared at the door. Kong Wu's powerful figure looked quite tall, but his voice gave people a clear feeling. He narrowed his eyes and scanned the kingdom's ministers in the hall. There was a hint of fatigue in Rufit's voice, and then he became stern.

"According to the report, the Empire captured the capital of the Kingdom of Calisu before us. The previous battle plan had to be cancelled. Such a coincidence is really hard to believe. None of us disclosed this top-secret plan to the Empire. Otherwise, the empire would just launch its troops during the New Year's Eve, and the target tactics would be the same as ours, to attack the royal capital of Kalisu with almost no defense." He said coldly, and then slowly and mercilessly started from here. Seeing that face, the air in the hall solidified for a moment. After a long time, no one dared to make a move. Everyone felt the deep pressure. It was really a coincidence that the empire sent troops this time, and the tactics were so consistent. For that plan and to win over the Kalisu people, they sent Liaison officer, in order to convince the Kalisu people that the Martinliga people did not dare to enter the dense forest, and to submit the plan to the Kalisu people, everyone from His Majesty the King to the important ministers had to pay a lot.

That was eighty years of humiliation. The entire Martin Tooth Kingdom had endured it for eighty years, and the person who implemented this plan was also the famous White Fox. There was really no possibility of failure. Even Martin Tooth Kingdom had already thought that It was a certainty. On the night when he learned that the Kalisu army was gathering in the Karu Woodland and was about to move north, His Majesty Rufit stood outside the palace staring in the direction of Kalisu for two full hours.

If Martinliga can really annex the Kingdom of Calisu, not only will it open up the road to the coastline for the Kingdom of Martinliga, but His Majesty Rufit will also become the most outstanding monarch of Martinliga in more than a hundred years. But now Everything has come to nothing. It's like I spent a lot of effort to marry my wife. Everything is ready. , the bride went to the bed, took off her clothes, and found that the one who entered the bridal chamber was not the same as herself. The anger of His Majesty Rufit can be imagined. At this time, who dared to speak, everyone looked at the center in unison Young man, that plan was made by a middle-aged man. Now that there is a problem, you have to come out and say it! "Under the current situation, the only option is a quick decision, or the situation can be saved." In the silence, the middle-aged man sighed slightly, stood up from the important ministers, and said decisively word by word, "A quick decision?" Rufit's eyes flashed. He moved a little and took a few steps back and forth in the hall. In the final analysis, he still had no intention of giving up on the Kingdom of Kalisu! Swallowing the Calisu region is an oath that every King of Martin Fang will personally discover when he succeeds to the throne. This is not only because of the fiasco eighty years ago, but also because of the annexation of Calisu and the opening of the access to the coastline. It is the key to breaking through the development bottleneck of the Martin Tooth Kingdom.
