Realm of Power

In the chaos, the stout Katas, surrounded by hundreds of elite guards, was also blocked two hundred meters away by the light cavalry. Watching his men being overwhelmed by the imperial cavalry one by one, Katas Si Ji's eyes were red and frightening. Two hundred meters further, there was the border line, but everyone stopped here.

"Go forward, the sideline is in front!"

"Don't stop, everyone move forward!" The Kata army crowded together and were charged back and forth by the imperial light cavalry. The corpses were rolling.

In the direction of the Imperial Army, Commander Salton of the Southern Second Army of the Empire stood like a mountain, standing silently on his horse. Under his gaze, the Imperial Light Cavalry was like a huge wave, hitting the defense line that the Kattars were desperately blocking. Behind him, hundreds of armored cavalry with red tassels were silently waiting for the moment to attack.

"Sir, what if the Ansers on the opposite side come to rescue?" an imperial officer asked cautiously. The fight was right on the border. The tens of thousands of Ansers' troops were pressing there like a black cloud. It may collapse towards this direction at any time,

"You think too highly of them. Although Anse is unified in name, in fact there are many contradictions among the internal departments. If they wanted to rescue them, they would have been rescued long ago." Salton's stern mouth curled slightly. In this more than a month, He has already obtained a lot of specific information about the Ansers from the Kalisu people, so he is no longer the first person to At that time, he knew nothing about Anser. Although the Anser Alliance claimed to have 300,000 Anser troops, they were actually divided into their own internal affairs. This time the emperor ordered him to lead part of the southern army southward during the negotiations and to be in a state of war readiness, just to make it clear. Tell the Anser people that the imperial army is ready to move south at any time.

"For a small force like Anse, showing one's strength is far more effective than sincerity. The stronger you are on the border, the smoother the negotiation will be!" These are the emperor's original words. If during the negotiation, Anse If there is any abnormal move on the part of the party, it must be dealt with resolutely. This is the best weight for negotiations!

It was just that Salton didn't expect that he had brought 50,000 Southern Second Army troops from the royal capital, but the next day they would encounter the Anser people crossing the border without authorization.

Salton immediately realized that the emperor's premonition was correct. It was true that Anser sent people to negotiate, but it did not mean that Anser would not test the empire. If the empire showed weakness and was slow to cross the border, , it is exactly equivalent to exposing the fact that the imperial army is no longer in Kalisu. If the imperial army is still in Kalisu, there is absolutely no way that there will be no reaction at all.

Why are you so polite now?

For the tens of thousands of Anser people on the other side of the border, the huge noise on the opposite side continued in the wilderness. The clash of weapons, the galloping of war horses, and the shouts for help were like a flood of various sounds and shouts. There was a faint wind blowing in the face, and everyone who saw this scene looked unhappy.

After all, the people on the other side who are fighting to the death are also Ansers, but no one is willing to say anything about who of them should be rescued. Tens of thousands of imperial troops are watching the opposite side, making it clear that whoever dares to cross the border will be killed without mercy. He rushed forward hesitantly. In this situation, who dares to save him! Since it was Katabe who caused the trouble, Katabe should solve it himself, and don't drag everyone to die together!

"These bastards won't help even after 200 meters." Katas and the other troops on the opposite side were so angry that they wanted to vomit blood. Just as he was yelling, he stepped on a corpse that was still slightly able to move. An imperial crossbow arrow passed by his cheek, and a guard next to him was shot in the neck. Blood surged like a fountain, and the spurted plasma hit his face and was still hot.

"Chief, leave quickly!" The guard covered the spot where the arrow was hit with his hand, a ferocious look flashed in his eyes, and his body fell to the ground. Anyone who suffered such an injury would no longer be conscious. Another one The squadron was killed and collapsed. Katasji's hands were trembling slightly. Surrounded by crowds of fleeing figures, the smell of blood made the squadron collapse. People's hearts are tired. It has only been a short ten minutes since the order was given to flee back to the sidelines. There are three to four thousand corpses lying on the ground. Most of them were caught up by the imperial light cavalry and hacked to death while escaping. Yes, after personally commanding two attacks, both were scattered by the imperial cavalry. Katas shouted hysterically.

"Everyone is approaching me. If you don't want to die, gather together and rush over!"

After all, Katasji had also fought in the war. Under his loud shouts, the soldiers who were scattered around began to gather around. As light infantry in the forest, the Ansers were not elite at first, but they were strong and agile. In the dense forest, they could The quality of individual soldiers is astonishing. If they are on a frontal battlefield, their actual combat power is better than that of a cannon fodder unit. The team is a little taller, but in the land of dense forests, the advantages of Ansers living in dense forests all year round can be brought into play. Ansers are often thinner in stature, but their strength is quite strong. When they encounter a situation where they find there is no way to escape, Next, like a mad dog forced into a back alley, he collided with the Imperial Light Cavalry.

The arrows were thrown into the air, the horses were running, and their hooves were flying at a speed that reached the limit.

"Hold them!" the officers of the Kata Department shouted loudly, and the soldiers desperately pulled the imperial cavalry on horseback. This is a light cavalry. In most cases, it is not originally used to rush into the battle, especially not for use. The hedge is that in such a chaotic battle, the original dense attack formation of the Empire's light cavalry can no longer be maintained.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhness" The horse suddenly turned around and lost its balance. The imperial horse that passed by diagonally lost its front foot. In the blink of an eye, under the pull of the Kata infantry around it, the human body and the horse's body rolled and twisted on the ground. Five or six All the imperial light cavalry were involved in this collision. In the blink of an eye, there was a series of collisions between six or seven horses. The nearby Kata infantry stabbed with long spears, and the imperial light cavalry flipped off their horses.

"Front line, kill!"

The imperial infantry group finally rushed forward. The long-handled battle ax of the Nord heavy armored infantry exploded in the crowd of Kattar people. Hundreds of giant axes rushed in like a wall, followed by the tall man. The commander's voice of command will rise with one step, and will be struck down with another step! The handle of the Nord battle ax is made of thick hardwood, and is more than two meters long. Every time it is swung down, it is like hundreds of powerful and unparalleled lightnings tearing through the air. They are all carefully selected for their height, arm length and strength. The strong man of Nord only wears more than two layers of heavy armor. Under the helmet pocket, his iron face is ferocious, like a ferocious steel beast.

"Kill, kill!"

The Nord heavy armor that once shocked the continent of Ikadiva was simply devastating against the Kata light infantry in front of them. It was like a hammer of flesh and blood smashing in with two steps. As the most powerful force in close combat combat, Top-notch troops. Selecting Nord heavy armor is more difficult than selecting elite cavalry. And because it moves slowly, its use is extremely limited, and it is a very cost-effective unit. It is extremely expensive to raise, but there are various restrictions on going into battle, and it is not a large-scale battle. And with enough light cavalry cover, it is difficult to exert its power. Otherwise, the Nord heavy infantry would have swept across Ikadiva. However, as the traditional elite of the Nords, they are regarded as the bravest in the army. Salton was completely composed of former Nord guards. After filling in the selection, the number of qualified people was only five or six hundred, and they were held by Salton as if they were treasures. However, this battle was the first time they were released.

These strong Nord men were so suffocated that their eyes were as red as blood. They wanted to chop everything in front of them to pieces! In the light of such constantly falling axes, the light armor on the Kata infantry was like paper. Under the light of the ax, there was only the sound of metal tearing and breaking one after another! Every sound of metal tearing and shattering meant that the body of a Kata soldier was split open, and dirty blood spewed out like a fountain!

The Kattar army that had gathered so densely now saw pieces of blood flying as the giant axes fell. The swords extended by countless Kattars hit these heavily armored Nord infantry soldiers, and the powerful ones barely managed to fight. It broke through the heavy armor, but it also lost its strength. Under these heavy armors, there was also a layer of chainmail made of iron rings. After the chainmail, there was another layer of leather armor to buffer blunt damage. ! Even if the outside is broken, the two layers of armor inside cannot be torn apart. Not to mention that the spears used by the Kata Army to deal with the cavalry just hit the heavy armor, causing sparks to fly and the spear shafts to break. It is almost impossible to cause damage to these djinn-like Nord heavy-armored battle axemen.

"Oh my god, what is this!" The tens of thousands of Ansers on the opposite side have stopped breathing. It's not like they have never seen heavy armored infantry before, but this is really the first time they have seen heavy armored infantry like this. , forget about the spear, the other blunt weapons in the hands of the Kata infantry, such as the Lianjia, the iron spike hammer and so on, are hammering crazily. These tall figures were hit with sparks flying everywhere, which only caused them to sway for a moment. These warriors, who looked like hundreds of iron towers, still raised their axes steadily with one step, and then dropped the axes with another steady step. The next scene was that the light armor was shattered, the hind torso of the light armor was cut open, and blood sprayed up to half the sky!

Such power and combat power made Anse people afraid to breathe.

By the time the overall situation was settled, these heavy armored infantry were almost covered in blood from head to toe! Countless corpses lay on the road they walked. Katasji, the leader of the Kata tribe, stood there with a pale face. Beside him, there were less than two hundred Katas. Everyone was injured, and the ground was already dead. Stained red with human blood, tens of thousands of Kata's infantrymen have been lost. The one who ran the farthest was shot in the back by a crossbow 30 meters away from the sideline and fell to the ground. The array of the imperial army has all moved forward. Come on, with the flag flying, more Imperial Armored men stopped in front of the border. The Imperial Light Cavalry was still charging back and forth. The Iron Cavalry rushed past, splashing large black and yellow mud balls, and every Imperial Cavalry had blood stains on their bodies. Mixed with the mud, it flew past Katasji. A whistling sword cut through Katasji's head. Katasji's headless body fell heavily to the ground.

Of the tens of thousands of Kata tribe members who crossed the border, not a single one was left standing. The eyes of the Imperial soldiers who had just killed someone were still red, and the Anser people staring at the other side of the border were also quite unkind. The Empire can judge military merit by heads. , these Anse people in front are really not enough. Tens of thousands of troops were pulled out, but they were all picked up by light cavalry and heavy armored infantry. They just drank the soup! "Tell the front, don't cross the sideline"

Salton smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth and ordered to the messenger cavalry, these Anse people think that they are invincible after defeating a half-crippled Carisu? Just a bunch of frogs in a well!

After passing three checkpoints in a row, the two teams of imperial light cavalry leading the way began to slow down, which meant that the main camp of the imperial army was not far away. As expected, as the horses crossed a raised slope in front, the scene in front of them suddenly became clear. , countless imperial military tents were densely packed for miles, almost completely covering the land in front.

The eyes that scolded Anokasu couldn't help but tightened slightly, and the hand holding the reins of the war horse became tighter. Now she knew why the empire gave up King Kalisu's capital to settle the Kalisu refugees, but allowed nearly ten people to settle down. Ten thousand troops are stationed in this small town on the outskirts of the royal capital, because if the army is stationed in Within the capital of Kalisu, every move is exposed to countless pairs of eyes. On the contrary, as it is now, a military restricted area is drawn out on the outskirts of the city, and a large army is stationed within it, which immediately isolates all prying eyes, just like It's like this huge military camp in front of you. Even if it's half empty, who knows!

"There's something wrong with the situation here!" The other Anse people also looked around with slightly changed expressions. The emptiness in the imperial military camp made them beat the drum in their hearts. Originally, they all thought that they could use the Hokuriku nobles to come south to intimidate them. As for the empire, the unexpected situation in front of us caused They were panicked. They had also brought it to the army and knew what an army of 100,000 people should look like. However, the number of imperial soldiers in the camp in front of them was obviously insufficient. Generally speaking, having 30,000 to 40,000 people would be enough to support the sky. In other words, a full 60,000 imperial troops no longer know where they have gone!

If it weren't for the imperial cavalry all around, what I wanted to do most right now was to turn around and leave immediately. Why would there be any negotiation?

It is impossible for tens of thousands of imperial troops to disappear out of thin air. Even if you guess, you can guess that they are either going to rescue the west coast or heading south. If they go to the west coast, it is easy to say, but if they go south, that is where the frontline of the troops is pointing. Anse, that is to start a war... I can't imagine what the outcome will be if Anse's various ministries are not prepared at all. For Anse, who has just stabilized his footing, I dare not say it will be a catastrophe. At least there were heavy casualties! It’s ridiculous that everyone’s attention was attracted by the Empire’s surrender of King Calisu’s capital to resettle southern refugees, and they were all looking at the large-scale reclamation launched by the Empire. Who would have thought that the Empire’s army might suddenly move south! "Everyone, don't mess up. Now that you're here, let's figure it out first." Anokasu's pretty face turned cold. She raised her hand to the commotion.
