Realm of Power

In April, the last touch of coolness before the hot summer comes in the Kalisu dense forest. At this moment, it has been completely covered by the flames of war.

In the area near the South Wilderness Wall, smoke and flames rose up one after another. The black smoke pillars were pulled by the wind and rose slanting into the sky. It was like countless beacons were lit in an instant. The South Wilderness Wall was breached, and more than 100,000 people were killed. The Anser army poured into the southern part of Kalisu. At first, they were just light infantry with fast assault speed. At night, they were large groups of infantry. Go ahead and go in. There are flags of the Anse people flying everywhere, and scenes of people shouting and neighing. There are even more Anse people arrogantly starting to bury pots to make rice. The rising gray smoke pillars are mixed with streaks of smoke. White smoke, as some small towns were occupied, Su Luo, the largest city in the south of the Kalisu Kingdom, became the focus of the Anser people's attack.

In the blazing fire, the Ansers swarmed towards the city wall of Suluo like ants. The sound of shouts and the blood of fighting covered everything. From a bird's eye view, it was almost twenty miles long and wide, with beacon smoke and each fighting person. The team is fighting, and the heads are densely packed. The cold light of the sword is even more ferocious at night. You can't see the end at a glance. In the alternation of darkness and light, there is a spreading sea of ​​​​people!

How many people were fighting, and the sound of killing was loud. The warring parties rolled up layer by layer like a tide. And in some defensive points, arrow clusters as dense as locusts were flying. Polished stone bullets hit the temporary arrow towers, and a piece of broken wood exploded. The Ansers had pressed forward across the board. The 150,000 people the Kalisu people thought were actually 230,000 people from all south of Hanlu Mountain. Although some troops were still behind, the Anser and Kalisu people were determined to fight to the death. He looked like he was ready to fight like this. Even if you use your life to fill it, you have to gnaw the opponent away with your teeth!

Fifty miles north of Suluo City, there is the main formation of the Kalisu army, which is carrying hundreds of thousands of Kalisu people fleeing north. There is a faint smell of blood in the air. The total number of soldiers on both sides exceeds 30. On a mound in a large battlefield with tens of thousands of people, Marshal Shinur of the Kalisu Kingdom, surrounded by a group of personal guards, tried his best to look in the direction of Suluo. Looking at the rising smoke pillars, the generals' faces were filled with expressions. It's extremely difficult to see.

"Sir, Su Luo fell. Duke Ansilia and his subordinates' 6,000 defenders were all killed in battle. Our left wing is fighting hard!"

A blood-stained Kalisu Army scout came flying from the direction of Suluo. The news he brought made the Kalisu Army Marshal Shinur’s brows tighten again as he stared at the entire battlefield. Suluo It is the largest city in southern Kalisu and also the most defensive. The powerful city also had six thousand elites under the Duke of Ansilia. Unexpectedly, it only persisted for eight hours before being breached. It is conceivable that the Ansers' attack was so swift and violent that it was absolutely impossible for them to learn about the Kali Su army. After evacuating, they rushed in pursuit.

"Sir, if our army continues to lead the civilians away, I'm afraid they will all be killed before they reach the royal capital!"

"Yes, the Anse people have obviously been prepared for a long time. They may even know exactly when the Kali Su army will withdraw. Otherwise, it would never be possible to become the current situation. And now, the fall of Su Luo, This means that the Anser people in front of them are like mad dogs biting behind the army. In a few hours, their current size will be doubled, or more. If all the troops are killed, even the civilians will not be able to survive! "

Behind him, some General Carisu said with an ugly expression. He originally wanted to evacuate the Southern Wilderness Wall suddenly. No matter how courageous the Ansers were, they would never dare to bite them in one bite. This way, civilians could be evacuated along the way. Even if we can't save all the Kalisu people, we can save 30 to 40 percent. But I didn't expect the Ansers to pursue so fast. It took almost the main force of the Kali Su army to retreat. The Ansers killed all the 5,000 defenders left by the Kali Su army on the Southern Wilderness Wall with their back foot. Even now, it was a reaction. No matter how slow they are, the generals of the Kalisu Army have already guessed that they have been betrayed by the Martin Sharptooths.

The generals gnashed their teeth when they thought of the Martin Liya people.

When King Kalisu's capital was destroyed, the king died in battle, and the imperial army pressed on the border, the Martinliga people, who were supposed to be a military alliance, raided the important border town of Yiluli City. Although in order to avoid shaking the morale of the army, Xinu Marshal Er ordered the news to be blocked, but as the corpses of a large number of soldiers from the Kalisu Army floated down from the upper reaches of the river, the news exploded within the Kalisu Army. Sold! As a senior officer of the Kalisu Army, Shinur and the kingdom's generals knew that Yilunli City was not only a border gateway, but also stored a million grain reserves purchased by the kingdom from Martin Liya!

Martin's Liya Army raided Yilunli City and cut off the logistics line of the Southern Wilderness Wall in one fell swoop. Although the Kali Su army who finally forced the Southern Wilderness Wall had 100,000 people, they knew that once the Southern Wilderness Wall was released, it would be very difficult for Kali. It was a life and death catastrophe for Su Lai, but he could only choose to evacuate the Southern Wilderness Wall. The final result of the Desolate Wall was that due to the cutoff in logistics, one hundred thousand troops were all killed in the Southern Desolate Wall under the two-line attack of Anser and Martin Liya. The final result was probably even worse, but at least they could survive the evacuation. Calisu's last 100,000 troops were able to protect a large number of civilians from evacuating along the way.

And it is interesting to say that this million of grain was actually purchased from Martin Liya!

The Kalisu dense forest area does not produce food. In addition to what is obtained from hunting and gathering, the only way to fill the gap is to purchase food from abroad. Therefore, in previous years, the Kalisu army had only 50,000 troops at the Southern Wilderness Wall at its maximum. , and this time, in order to ensure that the Ansers would not break through the Southern Wilderness Wall during their northward advance, causing the entire northward advance plan to fail, King Kalisu resolutely ordered that 50,000 Kalisu troops stationed in the royal capital area be sent south. Of course, this decision was opposed by the generals.

"This time the Anser people are far more powerful than before. It is conservatively estimated that more than 150,000 Anser troops have gathered at the Southern Wilderness Wall. They are eager to take advantage of the opportunity to cross the Southern Wilderness Wall that has been unable to be climbed for decades. Increased The guard strength is inevitable! But if the number of defenders at the Southern Desolate Wall increases from the original 60,000 to 110,000, it will probably be difficult to support it even with the logistical capabilities of the southern part of the capital! "

It is not that there are generals who are familiar with war among the kingdom's important ministers. When they heard that the king was going to transfer 50,000 troops to the Southern Wilderness Wall, they immediately expressed their concern. "The original 50,000 or 60,000 defenders of the Southern Wilderness Wall have all been sent to the southern part of Kalisu." The limit of supply capacity has now been increased to 110,000. The severe winter has just passed, and even if there is storage, it has been consumed. At this moment, there is a sudden request to increase the supply of the Southern Wilderness Wall. Logistics supply, even if we wipe out all six cities south of the Royal Capital of Kalisu, I am afraid it will not be able to support the consumption of such a large number of troops! There will be some action. Feize's southern vassal country has almost no strength to fight. I believe that it only takes twenty days at most to decide the overall situation. "King Carisu looked coldly and said to some generals objected, and confidently stated that there would be no problem with food, and he said, "The royal family has been prepared for a long time, and it should be able to sustain it in just twenty days, and the royal family has signed a contract with the Martin Liga people for one million grains." As long as the purchase agreement can survive these twenty days, by then, the food purchased by Bihasuli in the Imperial Capital of the Northern Empire will basically be shipped, so the Southern Wasteland Wall There will be no logistical problems, and I will not be stupid enough to be used as a weapon by the Martin Liga people. "Your Majesty, what if the Martin Liga people regret it? "Some generals expressed their distrust of the Martin Liya people." You can rest assured. The order for the northern march will not be issued until the one million grains from Martinliga are transported to Calisu. In order to get as close as possible to the Southern Wilderness Wall, I will let the Martinliya people transport the grain to Yilunli City. "

King Kalisu waved his hand, and said to the generals with a sneer on his lips, with a burning luster in his eyes, "I believe that this northward march is the most important action of Kalisu in more than a hundred years. All you need to do is follow the established plan. If the plan is executed, this honor is destined to be recorded in the history of Calisu. "But what if the Martin Liga people betray us..." "Okay, I don't want to go into the specific details." , What the royal family needs is execution! "King Carisu was so confident that he spent six years to change the entire army. Most of the middle-level officers were replaced by people from the royal family, and for the high-level generals , is more of an illusion. After all, it directly promotes the interests of the top military leaders. King Kalisu is also afraid of causing a fierce backlash, so he first takes the middle-level people into his hands. Naturally, the high-level generals are unable to resist.

"What happens next? Will the whole army retreat?\

,"The person who said this was Elliott, the veteran commander of the border army, who was also the commander-in-chief of the northern march personally designated by the king. But even Elliott didn't know what the plan was! After hearing his words, the generals also looked slightly stunned.

"It depends on the situation, adapt accordingly." It may be that Elliot is still needed to direct the battle to the north. King Carisu's voice was deep, but it could be seen that he was already quite impatient.

"Your Majesty, can you be more specific? It's too abstract." The gray-haired Elliot frowned to express his dissatisfaction. Therefore, in response to the generals’ doubts, King Kalisu’s tone became sharper: “You are my soldiers of Kalisu. As long as you are given the order to move forward, you should move forward bravely no matter where you are. What’s more, this time it is related to my card. Lisu is an important battle for the national destiny for a hundred years. You should all To overcome the difficulties, we need to be more obligated. In these short twenty days, as long as we advance directly into Feize's southern vassal country with a large army, my name of Carisu will be famous in the continent of Oparo!" "The name of Carisu will be feared from now on! It’s really going to spread throughout the entire Oparo, but it’s not a reputation, it’s a joke!”

Shinur's mind was full of bitterness when he thought of the self-confidence of the Kalisu Kingdom.

The royal capital fell, Elliot's border guards surrendered, and the most elite royal army under the royal family was also annihilated by the imperial army. The promised ally Martin Liya betrayed his promise, stabbed him in the back, and the Dark Seers invaded, killing Carrie in one fell swoop. Su pushed the country back to the brink of destruction. My lord, is this what you call adapting to circumstances?

I really don't know how to change! "Sir, please make a decision immediately. Su Luo City has fallen. We don't have much time. It's more than a hundred miles away from the capital. It will take at least two days. Moreover, the capital is now occupied by the imperial army. If the imperial army does not accept us, the situation will become worse!" A Kalisu general looked at Marshal Xinuer who was stunned just now with a flickering look, and said anxiously. It's ironic that the only one who can provide security for the Kalisu people now is not the soldiers of Kalisu, but the empire that resounds throughout the continent with its brutality. The whole of Obaro knows that the empire never shows mercy to offenders, blood for blood, tooth for tooth. Even if the Anse people are brave, they will never provoke the empire without a firm foothold. Now looking around, the Anse people are rushing in, and the Martin Liya people are stabbing in the back. On the contrary, only the empire can give the Kalisu people a chance of safety!

Now there are two choices before Xinuer, is it to protect civilians or the army?

Xinuer didn't know that on a mound to the east of the battlefield, a middle-aged man wearing Martin's Tooth armor stopped his horse, his eyes swept across the dense forest battlefield where the battle was fierce, looking at the long columns of black smoke rising up, his pupils unconsciously shrank into a dot, giving people the feeling that it was like a beast's eyes that were like thin lines standing up. This person actually had a pair of beast-like fox eyes with vertical pupils!

Behind this middle-aged man, teams of Martin's Tooth infantry seemed to fill the range of vision. In the lush green forest, Martin's Tooth infantry surged like an iron stream, reflecting one piece of metal light after another. Thousands of people were crowded, densely packed, more than 10,000 or 20,000? Moreover, there were large groups emerging from the eastern forest continuously.

The breathing of these Martinliya soldiers was a little rapid. When they looked at the dense forest in front of them, they saw an unusually red color. They marched south along the river, destroying more than a hundred outposts set up by the Kalisu people along the way. As they gradually approached the battlefield, the blood of the Martinliya people was also ignited. Eighty years ago, their ancestors had come here and also killed their way to the capital of Kalisu along this route. In the end, due to the special environment of the Kalisu dense forest, the army collapsed. The place where the bodies were thrown was said to be scorned by the Kalisu people as the blood flowed over the ankles! In that battle, the Martinliya people, who had always been unruly, were labeled as cowards of the dense forest. This time, eighty years later

The 80,000 Martinliya troops entered the dense forest again. This time, what they had to do was to avenge their previous shame and use the blood of the Kalisu people to turn the forest in front of them into the "Hong'an Valley".
