Realm of Power

In the morning light that gradually began to brighten, a line of abandoned large catapults from the empire was revealed in the distance. The huge catapult arms were hanging on the ground. Some scattered flesh and blood could be seen on the ground. After being used for more than an hour, After that, the Imperial Army began to evacuate hastily, leaving behind these large catapults like huge statues reflected in the morning glow.

"Sir, these slings..." an imperial officer asked Estant during the evacuation.

"Ignore these slings, everyone evacuates immediately"

Astante was riding on a war horse, waving vigorously at his subordinates. In front of all the retreating troops, two thousand elite imperial cavalry were moving forward. The horses of these two thousand cavalry were flanked by full-scale battles. Barrel of arrow feathers, the armor on his body is just a lightweight sleeveless armor, scale armor made with oriental forging techniques, especially these scale armor on the left and right On the chest are two polished and shiny round metal blocks, which look colder and whiter under the rising sun. These two thousand imperial cavalry are all prairie cavalry. They gallop skillfully on their war horses, like It spreads out like a big net. If an enemy rushes out from Edin Reese's side at this moment, he will turn into a hedgehog in an instant.

In front of the imperial cavalry, the solid raised earthen mound of Edinris began to be illuminated by the morning light. The golden sunlight came from the direction of the horizon, illuminating the exterior walls of Edinris as if they were painted in various reds. , as if being hit by countless red tomatoes, the bloody mess can be seen clearly even from a distance of more than a few hundred meters.

Even as an enemy, Luxir felt pity for the Martin Liya people in Edin Risne. They were bombed in the middle of the night. The sky was full of flying rocks, no, the sky was full of flying sheep. It would probably be enough for anyone to replace him.

"After projecting so many sheep, do the Imperial Army think that the Martinliya people in the city will be frightened by these sheep and surrender? It's really hard to understand." Standing on a slope behind these catapults , Luxir looked away from the direction of the Empire's sling with confusion, and murmured in a low voice. Although he could see everything clearly, he still had an unbelievable look on his face.

"Sir, the imperial army used such a precious huge catapult to shoot goats one after another into Edingris. After more than an hour, there were more than 300 goats. In addition to making the city of Edingris look redder. , I really can’t think of any use.”

"Who says it's useless? I dare say that mutton must be cooking in a big pot in Edinris City now. After eating and drinking enough, you will have more strength to fight us!"

"Ha ha"

Hearing the unsuppressed laughter of the generals behind him, Luxir's mind flashed unconsciously, the scene of the golden and fragrant lamb leg being grilled, the grease plopping on the fire, and the delicious roast lamb. , even he can bear it He couldn't help licking his dry lips and holding the riding crop in his hand. It was such a waste. More than 300 fat goats. It would be great if they could be used to improve the army's food. Then throw them to Edin Rees. What's going on?

But where did these sheep come from? Luxir turned around with twinkling eyes and asked the attendant beside him in a deep voice, "Where did those sheep come from? How come I don't know at all!"

"They were brought by the imperial army themselves. There are about a hundred and fifty of them. The empire said that their soldiers came from the prairie and were only used to eating mutton, so they brought these sheep as food." The attendant paused and hesitated. But my subordinates sometimes see that whenever they encounter a water source, they first drive these sheep to drink water."

"Are you saying that the Imperial Army allowed those sheep to drink the problematic water?"

Luxir's eyes lit up and his breathing paused slightly. This time, Anse cooperated with the Empire to fight against Martin Liya. Although His Highness Arnovel has decided to side with the Empire, it does not mean that he has no regard for the Empire. Defense, and the imperial army brought such a number of goats with them when they set off, which is enough to show that the empire has already planned to attack Edin Reese. So what does it mean that their side lost so many slaves in the past two days!

His eyes were a little angry, and he unconsciously extended from the trebuchet position to Edin Reese. A gap several miles wide was exposed in front of him. The wind blew through this open space and rolled up layers. The loess is covered with bloodstains on the city wall of Edinris. On the only access road, tens of thousands of corpses cover the ground.

In such a hot weather, the smell of blood and rancidity that filled the air would have forced the army to hold its nose if it had not caused the army to retreat a certain distance. It seems that this is what the empire should have done when it asked itself to retreat. Consideration, but the most difficult problem for the army to solve at present is still the water problem.

Even if we got help from the empire when we set out, and the empire provided more than 300 carriages to transport water back and forth from the Kalisu Forest area, this approach could only provide temporary relief. Even if the drinking water of hundreds of thousands of people was ignored, As well as the life and death of those slaves, the drinking water for the 30,000-strong army is also a considerable number. And as the distance of the combat line lengthens and gradually extends to the hinterland of Martin Liya's land, let alone three hundred carriages, there is one more. times, it can’t last more than a few days

We are now only a few dozen miles away from the Kalisu border, and the entire attack line can still get support from the rear. But even so, drinking water is already extremely tight. Many soldiers run to nearby lakes to drink water because they are thirsty. Not long after they came back, they were all suffering from vomiting and diarrhea, and their hands and feet were twitching. Not to mention fighting, it was difficult to put on armor. The number of soldiers with such symptoms has exceeded 300.

With so many people suddenly falling ill, the impact on the morale of the entire army was obvious to the originally ignorant Anse people. There was even a saying in private that it was the gods who treated the Anuo family. Du Da expressed his dissatisfaction and wanted to punish the entire Anse with diseases. If the Anuo clan still didn't wake up, the entire Anse clan would be completely wiped out.

Obviously, this is the slander of those insidious villains who are dissatisfied with the Anuo people's imminent establishment of a nation.

But ordinary soldiers don't care about this. After all, the Anuo tribe has not yet established a country, and not all soldiers in the army are soldiers of the Anuo tribe. The soldiers only saw people drinking water falling down, and tens of thousands of troops were trapped in this wasteland. It is clear that without water, one will die of thirst. If one does not want to die of thirst, the fortress in front must be conquered. To conquer this fortress, one can only do it with a large number of sacrifices.

Once it is incited by those who are interested, in the chaos of war, I am afraid that it cannot be suppressed without blood on the blade! The only way is to capture Edin Reese. Only by controlling this largest water source can Anser's attack on the most powerful country in the south be turned from a joke to a possibility! Only in this way can the current unfavorable public opinion be suppressed, and only in this way can the entire Obaro hear the roar from the southern mountains!

"Sir, the Imperial Army has sent someone here."

An attendant suddenly raised his finger and pointed in the direction of the Imperial Army's camp. Sure enough, he saw an Imperial Cavalry rolling up smoke and flying towards this direction in the sun. The Imperial Army that retreated from the front did not join forces with the Anser Army. Instead of being together, they were stationed alone on a mound in the northwest. A golden imperial eagle flag became even more vivid under the morning wind, as if it had come alive.

The empire took over the responsibility of attacking Edin Reese. Although Luxir was dissatisfied, he could still accept it. After all, the empire sent was not an ordinary person, but the most popular imperial general Estant recently. His reputation lies there, Miracle Fourteen God, this person defeated the Hokuriku nobles like magic, even Even Fezer's No. 1 Ellensburg was able to capture it, and he was already known as a master of attack. He was still able to capture a mere Edin Reese. Who would have thought that after a night of vigorous tossing, this famous imperial general would be confident Full of tactics, more than 300 sheep were thrown at Edin Reese...

Thinking of this, Luxir's face turned red and black. If he hadn't known that the empire was currently a mortal enemy of Martin Liya, and there was absolutely no possibility of supporting the enemy in the war, he would have thought that Edin Reese was blatantly funding Edin Reese. The defenders, especially the dozen or so large catapults were left there like this. This is really a pity for Luxir. If he had known that the empire would throw away these catapults, he should have ordered these catapults to be thrown away. It was better to snatch the slings back than to do it now in front of everyone, but it was difficult to do it. He planned to wait until night, use a team of 1,000 people, and bring 3,000 slaves, and they should be able to dismantle these slings. The Imperial Army The camp is hundreds of meters away from the catapults. In the dark night, you may not notice it. If you don't admit it until you kill him, I believe that the empire will not break the joint operation with Anser just for a dozen catapults! With these catapults, I believe it won’t take long for Anse to make his own catapult.

Just when his mind was inexplicably excited, the imperial cavalry stopped the horse violently in front of Luxir, took out an order book from his arms and handed it to the attendant who came over, and made an imperial gesture to Luxir. Military Salute: "Lord Luxir, Lord Estante asked me to come and tell you that the Martin Liya people will definitely break through tonight. Please prepare early!"

"Breakout? Who did you just say will break out tonight?"

Luxir looked stunned. He thought he was distracted and had auditory hallucinations, so he asked again.

"The Martinliya garrison stationed in Edin Reese will break out tonight, my lord!"

The imperial cavalry repeated it again. As the words fell, Luxir reluctantly held back his laughter and nodded. "Please reply to Master Estant, we will obey the order." The imperial officer turned around and rode away. Go, an Anser general behind Luxir couldn't help laughing. Is the general of the empire still awake from his dream? Did he do it too late last night to be able to make such a ridiculous statement? Unparalleled order, "Will Martin's army break through tonight? This joke is not funny."

Edinris is as stable as gold. Even if a large sling is used, it will be impossible to capture it in less than ten days and a half. The imperial army's attack only lasted for more than an hour last night, and not even a single soldier was sent. You know it's just nonsense. Could it be that the Martin Liya people were so scared that they ran out of Edin Reese? "Okay, no matter what, there is nothing wrong with everyone being prepared, just in case the blind cat encounters a dead mouse!" Luxir said with a smile that he couldn't suppress, and waved his hand to the laughing subordinates behind him. , that Estante's behavior became more and more weird. Last night he ordered the army to retreat and used slings to throw sheep in. Now he told himself that the enemy would break through Edinlis tonight.

"Yes, sir!"

Although Anse's generals were all dissatisfied, they all responded. Since the empire said that the Martin Liya people would break out tonight, then everyone should go and get ready. Wait until this time tomorrow to see what kind of face the imperial general has to give. Order!

After the generals left one after another, Luxir's eyes fell on the raised mounds of Edinris in the distance, and he took a sharp breath. What on earth was this Estante thinking about! , breakout? Why breakout? The Martin Liya people stay inside to eat and drink well, what are they going to do when they break out! Although Luxir recognized Estante as a famous general in the mainland, and the fourteen-day miraculous war in Hokuriku was fought unexpectedly, which made the generals of the entire Oparo continent feel chilled, he absolutely did not believe that Martin Sharptooth The military association suddenly gave up on Edin Reese.

It's just that due to the reputation of Anse's alliance with the empire, he didn't come forward to directly mock him just now.

After all, the current situation is rare. His Highness Arnovel has high hopes for this battle. As the first battle between the empire and Anser, this battle will have a huge impact on the entire campaign. If it fails, it will not only shake the entire army. Military morale, and it also makes it impossible to open up the subsequent situation. Once Martin Liya recovers, he will be as defenseless as before. It is completely impossible to prepare. In the final analysis, if the Anuo tribe wants to establish a country and become a member of the Southern European Barrow, what they need to rely on is the empire, the big tree in the sky, and the empire also needs the Anser people to achieve its strategy. The Alliance, just like this joint attack with the Empire on Martin Liya, seems to mainly benefit from the Anser people. In fact, the real beneficiary is undoubtedly the Empire!

For the Anse people, defeating the Martinliya people only means that they can occupy a few more pieces of Martinliya land and gain a few more capitals to establish the country. It is just a regional interest.

As for the Empire, if a fire breaks out in the backyard of the Martin Fang Kingdom, the half-million Martin Fang troops still fighting in the direction of the Order State will have to divide their forces. The pressure on the empire on the frontal battlefield will be reduced a lot, and Once the empire defeats the Martin Liya people and achieves the final victory in the Second Civil War, then after the empire has swept the northern European Barro, it will no longer have an opponent to fight against the entire southern European Barro. The power of the empire The territory will completely cover the entire Oubaluo continent!
