Realm of Power

At the southern border of Kalisu, the summer calls in the grass have become less and less. In the half-moon night sky, there are only one or two strange sounds of night owls mixed in. The dense forest at night makes people feel a different kind of tranquility, dotted with stars. Starlight pours down from above, everything is shrouded in the soft white light of the moon, and a branch on the ground makes a heavy sound. The crackling sound of backpacks, the sound of heavy marching footsteps coming closer and closer, the hoofs of horses kicking up the mud in the forest, breaking the tranquility of the mountain forest, the mountain birds flew up in panic, flapping their wings and flew into the air. Below, groups of black shadows marching southward were like giant snakes rolling in the dark night, leaving imprints on the soft and wet ground. These teams wearing black armor have no torches, only when the moonlight shines on the gaps in the forest. Only then could one see a blurry shadow in the reflected light. There were too many people to count, stretching from the end of the mountain road to an invisible distance.

In front of the team, several people wearing Anser noble costumes just silently guided the team forward. At the edge of a dense forest, one of them suddenly stopped his horse and turned to the person behind him. The imperial general saluted respectfully, raised his finger to point to the concave-shaped forest in the distance, and said in a low voice, "Sir Lytle, ten miles ahead is The main camp of the Ange Tribe. Since the last cross-border incident, the 30,000 troops of the Ange Tribe have been secretly gathering in the Rokolin Valley, and claimed that the Arno tribe was too weak for the Kata Tribe's annihilation by the empire. , is no longer suitable to lead Anse's ministries. In view of the current situation, I can only guide you here. "I understand, you can go back!"

Wearing a black imperial general's armor, Lytle had a serious look on his face and waved his hand towards several panic-looking Arnold nobles. Because the light was too dark, the Arnold nobles who led the way obviously did not recognize this man with a number. The imperial general who came from thousands of imperial armies was Lytle, the former famous general of Calisu. He originally thought that the Battle of Hokuriku would be the last. Letting the entire Ellensburg sink into the lake would definitely make the emperor furious. Who knows that the emperor didn't seem to take this matter to heart. At this time, due to the lack of relevant knowledge, earthquakes have always been a rather ominous sign. Not to mention, the earthquake in the Ellensburg area of ​​Hokuriku directly turned the Ellensburg area into ruins.

The emperor made so many arrangements and even mobilized the West Court Army, but in the end the result was like this. Lytle was already prepared to be dismissed from his post. Who would have thought that just after arriving at Calisu, the emperor's military order was delivered? In front of him, cooperate with the Arnold tribe to attack the Ange tribe! Fortunately, they didn't do anything, otherwise they would be seeking death in front of Lytle, a pure Calisio.

As one of the most famous generals in the South, Lytle has gradually seen the situation of this Civil War clearly. This process, known as the Second Civil War, is like the two sides of a chessboard, with their positions stacked up, and the strength of both sides constantly betting. With hundreds of thousands of troops dueling, both fronts are increasing their own variables. The South European Barrow side has made it clear that it wants to bloom more and make the empire exhausted. Even if in the end It is still impossible to defeat the Empire, but at least it must be ensured that within ten years, the Empire will not be able to recover from this war. Although it seems that half a million Martin troops have broken into the Order State, showing an invincible attitude, but in fact the plan is not Both sides know very well that war is not won by drawing dots on a strategic map, but by winning bit by bit, by soldiers fighting bloody battles, even to the death!

Although the empire was suppressed in the early stage, the general front was still maintained after all. With the imperial army's successful counterattack on the Hokuriku in the Battle of the West Coast, the empire had actually taken a hand out of this killing situation. The Order State was The empire's weakness is on the coast of the inland sea. The weakness of the Martin Liga people is on the Kalisu line. The Martin Liga people have already come out in force. Now the domestic troops are probably not even 100,000.

The only people that make the empire a little wary now are the Anser people. Although the Anser force is insignificant in this civil war, its unique strategic position is the key to making a difference. The Martin Liya people undoubtedly know this. On the other hand, it is said that special envoys have been sent to continuously operate on Anser, encouraging Anser's various tribes to move northward.

It’s just that Martin Liya didn’t expect that the emperor of the empire would come in person. One was the emperor who claimed to have never been defeated, and he was suppressed by 200,000 imperial troops. The other was just a special envoy with the title of baron. He had no soldiers and no power, and relied entirely on one person. Open your mouth, the gap between the two is worlds apart

When the Arno tribe's guide pointed out that the front was Rokolin land, Lytle had basically confirmed the authenticity of this information. He was also a little shocked in his heart. How did the emperor convince the Arnuo tribe to join the imperial camp? This is simply ridiculously fast. Others don’t know about the Arno tribe. As a Calisu, Lytle has also fought against the Anser people. How could he not know how powerful the Arno tribe is, which is the most powerful in the Anser tribe? stubborn existence

The Anuo tribe was famous among the Anser tribes for being stubborn and belligerent. Ten years ago, the Anuo tribe seized the opportunity and defeated their powerful enemy Ange tribe. They forced all the men of the Ange tribe who were taller than a wheel to commit suicide, almost killing all the Ange tribe. All the young men of the Ange tribe were killed, but he himself also suffered heavy losses. Due to the pressure from other tribes, he had no choice but to give up the eradication of the Ange tribe.

Ten years have passed, and a new generation of the original Ange tribe has grown up. Although they openly expressed their submission to the Anuo tribe due to pressure, in fact, the hatred of the Ange people for the Anuo tribe has penetrated into their bones. , these years the Anuo people have been overtly and covertly suppressing the restoration of the hidden grid, not only restricting the casting craftsmen from the hidden grid The number of tribes, and also specifically required that half of the loot obtained by the Ange tribe must be handed over to the Arnold tribe. This was also the condition of the Arnold tribe's promise to the tribes not to destroy the Ange tribe. However, as the Martin Liya people came to find The Ange Department, with a steady flow of weapons smuggled in from Martin Liya, the strength of the Ange Department is rapidly growing.

If the empire wants to express its support for the Ano tribe to establish a nation, please ask the empire to kill the Ange tribe first! This is the condition Anokasu proposed to the emperor

As long as the empire helps the Anuo tribe to kill the Ange tribe, other tribes will definitely be panic-stricken. When the Anuo tribe declares its founding, most of the resistance will be reduced. After all, the strength of the Anuo tribe may not be enough to deter other tribes, but if the Anuo tribe is increased Going to the Empire is another matter. In just a day or two, the alliance between the Ano tribe and the Empire has already begun!

In the early morning, Lytle's eyes fell on the front. In the early morning of the humid forest, it looked like a piece of white smoke. The mist flowed like a ribbon of water. It was as if the world was frozen at this moment. The advancing light cavalry of the Empire wearing imperial uniforms were like A large net quickly passed through the dense forest weeds as high as the knees, and the whole team held the uniforms. The imperial infantry with the tower shield stepped into the forest in front with determination. The dense spears like the cold light of the wilderness occasionally came through from the direction of the thick fog. The sound of horse hooves came from the front, and an imperial scout cavalry galloped from a distance. Come and rein in him hard, because the speed is too fast, the horse's hooves are raised and it takes a few steps back before it stabilizes. The scout cavalry reported loudly and respectfully, "Our army encountered an Ange patrol in front."

"How's the situation?"

Lytle's stern eyes flashed, revealing a sharp feeling, and he was wearing the empire's black general armor. Short chestnut hair sticks out from behind the eagle-winged helmet. Although he is regarded as a traitor by the Kalisu people, he also has no favorable impression of the Anser who massacred the Kalisu people, and the Anser are also the most ferocious among the Anser tribes. After breaking through the southern wall of Kalisu, the Ange tribe acted as the left line of the Ansers and massacred the city all the way, killing four Kalisu cities into nothingness. , at least more than 150,000 Kalisu people died under the butcher's knife of the Ange people, not to mention that the main force of the Ange people gathered in the dense forest at this moment, and everyone's hands were stained The blood of the Calisu people was deserved, so after receiving the emperor's secret order, Lytle immediately transferred 30,000 elite soldiers from the Battle of Hokuriku to the designated location.

"There were about thirty people on the other side, and we killed most of them. But a few still ran away," the scout cavalry said with an embarrassed expression.

In front of Lytle's gaze, he could see that around the vast woodland, countless flying falcon flags of the Imperial Army were flying along the horizon, pouring like mercury into the ground. The Imperial Army's attack line was standing there quietly at this moment, just waiting for the final order. Sunlight like a beam of light casts down from the high clouds, and a milky white mist envelopes the earth.

The army is in a hurry to kill, just waiting for blood

The wind blew over his head, and the battle flag made a snapping sound. Lytle raised his hand, "At this time, even if the opponent reacts, it will be too late! Send an order to the troops in front to start attacking." "The scout cavalry nodded and left. ,

"Everyone, move forward!" shouted the galloping Imperial light cavalry, and the rumble of horse hooves came like bursts of thunder. Groups of black cavalry, mixed with the neighing of war horses and the collision and friction of metal vests, Driving neatly into the forest, the light mist slowly dissipated under the breeze, and gradually rose from the ground. All the attackers were well-equipped. Hoplites, wearing helmets with long red tassels and thick black heavy armor all over their bodies, were densely arranged among the dense forest and grass, like a raging sea that wanted to submerge everything in front. The first row was the traditional heavy infantry. Shields and spears, and in the second row are Nord heavy-armed axemen holding two-handed axes, like thick walls of steel covering the edge of the forest.

When he learned that his camp was attacked, An Xilai, the leader of the Ange tribe, had just woken up from his sleep. Yesterday, the Anuo tribe held a banquet for all the chiefs of the Anse tribe. The butcher who had killed 117,000 Ange people was speechless when he questioned him. In the end, he could only announce the banquet in despair. The meeting ended and came to rescue the siege. The proud An Xilai was naturally very drunk. Unexpectedly, before dawn, he was pulled up by his own tribe. Looking at the drunken patriarch, he immediately poured a basin of cold water down on him. One of the attendants slapped An Xilai hard and shouted in a cruel voice, "Chief, the camp has been attacked."

Each tribe in the Anse tribe has a tribal system, but the tribes in the Ange tribe are different from the tribes of the grassland people. Because the grassland tribes need to survive in a cruel and harsh environment, they need to give their leaders the authority to make decisions, so the grassland tribes need to survive in a cruel and harsh environment. The clan leader of the tribe has considerable prestige, and the tribes of Anse originate from the southern woodland. They have a loose tribal structure in the woodland area, and the authority of the clan leader is not strong.

"The camp was attacked? Are you kidding me? Who dares to attack the camp where I have 30,000 troops?" An Xilai was sobered up by a slap in the face. He reluctantly got up and walked outside the tent. The sight in his eyes caught his eye. But it was the low neighing of the war horse, and the metal armor Armor and spears flashed in the mist. At the beginning of the first wave of cavalry attack, 6,000 imperial archers formed four teams and spread out on the high ground. They raised their compound bows toward the woods in the low-lying areas and tightened the bow strings to follow the orders. Pull it all the way to the maximum. The steel arrows with blood grooves were raised in unison, and under the rising sun, a layer of pale white light belonging to cold metal flashed. "Hold the wooden fence, don't mess!"

"There are more of us than them, so everyone is coming closer to me."

The big and small leaders of the Ange Department shouted in the chaos, waking up their subordinates from their rest. The camp of 30,000 troops was specially reinforced with wooden barriers. Even if the imperial cavalry wanted to rush in in a wave, It's also very difficult to do. Before Anser finished speaking, he I heard a sound of grace coming from the sky, and dense cold stars flashed in. The stunning star points were like starlight suddenly falling from the sky, with a deadly breath, and they plunged in with unbelievable speed. The hidden soldiers ran towards the wooden fence, and a bloody flower exploded. You can even clearly hear the sound of blood exploding in your own body. The soldiers in the dark cell fell over and said, "Save me, save me." The one who was hit by the arrow screamed in the pool of blood, his body crawling on the ground, and the arrow clusters were like a storm. It was still flying in, and soon the shouts turned from fierce to weak, and finally disappeared completely.

After three rounds of intense arrow rain, in front of the wooden fence, the imperial heavy infantry gasped and swooped in like a tide. The cold light is like iron, carrying a huge shield on his back, and holding a pair of sharp swords in his mouth. He climbed up the wooden fence with agility. The hidden guards standing on the sentry tower hurriedly raised their hands on it. The spear slammed into the head of the person below. The imperial infantry climbing below grabbed the opponent's spear and pulled it down. A shrill sound was heard, and the secret guard was pulled down.

"Kill"

The overwhelming shouts of killing, the bloodshot and cold eyes of the imperial soldiers, were like ants climbing onto a candy bar. The crowded armor made a harsh metallic sound. Just like layers of waves crashing onto the shaky wooden sign of the Dark Man
