Realm of Power

Callisu border

With the advent of the rainy season, the dry lakes are filled with water, and the smoke-filled sky in summer has long disappeared. Looking around, the swampy land composed of large and small lakes is filled with wild animals in groups. Like emerging from the ground overnight, the dry season and flood season of the Martinliya Prairie are completely different worlds.

The Southern Intelligence Department of the Empire reminded His Majesty the Emperor of this feature. The fat man was still a little shocked by the magnitude of the changes in front of him. The long winding mountain path was like a wriggling snake, dividing the land in front of him into dense forests and The two parts of water and swamp, or God’s gift to Martinli Ya Prairie, have changed from dry to wet. Wet, as if a miracle had come, everything was dense and moist. After a heavy rain, it was as if everything had come to life from the dead. Behind him was a fifty-mile transportation support line composed of six imperial fortresses. The empire's 100,000-strong army was stationed in this area. area, a large number of war preparation materials are also being transported continuously along this transportation line.

The sun was still high in the sky, but it no longer had the flaming power it had before. Salton, commander of the Empire's southern second army, looked at the emperor's back in front of him and said in a solemn voice, "Judging from the time, Martin Liya's reinforcements will We should have arrived at Langxibia, but I don’t know why, and there hasn’t been any news until now. It can’t be that there’s something wrong somewhere.”

"Haha, you don't mean to say that Lytle will avenge his personal revenge."

The young black-haired emperor had a stern look on his face and smiled. "It shouldn't be so, because even if Lytle can't see it, how can Estant be able to see it? Estant is a Nord, and based on your understanding of him. You should know that allowing the Anser army to capture Stam will only cause the Anser people to lose their last chance to escape. Lytle is a smart man. Even if he wants to avenge his personal revenge, he will never choose this time."

"What your Majesty is saying is that Anosuka has requested the empire to enter Langxibia for the third time. How should your subordinates respond?"

Salton hesitated for a moment and said, "Ever since the Anser Army entered Wolf Xibia, Anosuka, as the liaison officer, has already sensed the problem. The information about Silver Fox's possible return came from her. It was delivered to Arnovel, but for some reason, Arnovel didn't seem to have any intention of withdrawing the troops. He just said that combat readiness materials were still being prepared. How could the army not have supplies? As we drove in, the black-haired emperor looked away from an wild goat in the distance that was bowing its head to drink water by a beautiful mirror-like lake. He said casually from the corner of his mouth. Such a calm and beautiful scenery made people unconsciously attracted and stopped. "Your Majesty, this reason has been used four days ago." Salton showed a hint of embarrassment on his face. Anokasu came to him every day, which also made him very helpless. "Have you used it?" Then say that the situation ahead is unclear, and we will make a decision after we find out the situation. "Your Majesty, I have used this before!" ""Then say I went out hunting and you couldn't find me.""I've used this before.""...""Your Majesty, Your Highness Anokasu is coming this way! "At this moment, an Imperial Guards Cavalry came flying from a distance." How did Anokasu know that I was here? "The black-haired emperor looked at Salton with sharp eyes and muttered to himself. Salton's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly said, "It was definitely not his subordinates who tipped off the news, but his subordinates thought that Anokasu was known as He is a wise man from the Anse tribe. He should have guessed that His Majesty will come here to inspect, so there is a high possibility of waiting here."

While the two were talking, a group of horses approached quickly in the distance.

The team was led by a female knight. The entire cavalry was stopped by the imperial guards twenty meters in front. The female knight leading the team jumped off the horse and lifted up her helmet. Her cloud-like hair, as golden as the sun, was not affected by the attack. The restraints slid down, lining both sides of the female warrior's beautiful face, with the outline as clear as a knife. , giving people a feeling of perseverance and determination, with a particularly long neck, showing an indescribable grace. Who else could it be if it wasn't Anokasu? I haven't seen him for nearly ten days, and this Anser tribe's intellectual brain is obviously haggard and pale. There are a lot of people. No one knows that 200,000 tribesmen are on the verge of life and death. I am afraid that their condition will not be good.

"Is your Majesty feeling guilty and not daring to meet his allies?" Anokasu's eyes fell on the fat man, he took a few deep breaths, suppressed the anger in his heart, then lowered his head and looked at the fat man coldly. road

Hearing the questioning, the fat man narrowed his eyes into a thin line, shrugged his shoulders and said, "You can't blame us. As an alliance, we have restrained the Martin Liya people's largest force on the Western Front for Anse, and in Ai Lunstin, for Anser, has cleared the only obstacle that could stop them, and opened the door to the hinterland of Martin Liya for you, but look at what you have done. The places we passed were nothing but ruins. They were burned, killed, and looted. There was almost no living person. There was absolutely no place left for us to raise supplies. What else can we do now except wait for the supplies to come up later? ? Once the 100,000-strong army marches to Xibia, there will be no possibility of retreat. Without supplies, there is no need to fight this battle! "

"Is it really because of material issues that Your Majesty has delayed entering?"

Anoka Sumei's eyes became sharper, and there was a look of disdain on the corner of his mouth. He said word by word, "I don't think it's necessarily the reason. I secretly thought that the 200,000 troops marching into Langxibia are destined to have a big battle with Martin Liya's reinforcements. Your Majesty only needs to stand still, and the troops will be able to fight without a heavy blow." To frustrate the strategies of both Anse and Martin Liya, if we change As your Majesty, I am afraid I will make the same choice, but Your Majesty has such a plan for me. Who will dare to cooperate with the Empire in the future? The Empire's purpose of entering the hinterland of Barro in southern Europe will be even more difficult, unless Your Majesty Can conquer the entire southern European Barrow under the iron cavalry.”

"Don't worry, since I promised the Anse tribe, I will definitely do it, and the empire has never had any record of cheating its allies." The fat man raised his hand in a solemn tone and pointed in the direction of Wolf Xibiya. "According to the latest news , the Anser army has captured Stam, and it is already known that Martin Liya's reinforcements will If the situation comes, I believe that your brother will be prepared. Martin Liya's army hastily returned to support. It is impossible for him to bring too many troops. In addition, after several days of running, his physical strength and morale have reached the lowest point. In this situation "Come on, if Anse's 200,000 troops can't withstand the attack, then I have nothing to say."

Anokasu frowned slightly, and seemed to think that what the emperor said was not wrong. After all, it was an army of 200,000 people, not just two or three kittens and puppies, 200,000 people, just standing here for use. To cut with a knife, the edge of the knife must be curled, not to mention that Martin Liya's army was rushing back, how could he choose to fight immediately! But she was still a little worried in her heart and said, "Your Majesty really has no intention of letting me be used as cannon fodder?" "Cannon fodder?" Has His Highness Anokasu ever seen cannon fodder take all the spoils for himself? "

The fat man smiled mockingly at the corner of his mouth, and Anokasu's pretty face couldn't help but blush slightly. He knew that this meant that Anse had been ruthlessly exploited along the way, so much so that even the imperial army's logistical supplies could only be obtained from Kasu. Lisu's side shipped it, and even had to spend a lot of effort to build five fortresses in order to protect the transportation line. In this battle, the empire did not spare any effort to support it. On the contrary, Anse was greedy and eager, and completely ignored the empire's allies. Bian, what you did was a little too much

"The empire is very powerful, but I secretly thought that I was only partial to a small group, but it made His Majesty laugh." Anoka Suxing glared, and then his expression darkened, and he lowered his gaze, "But this battle is dangerous, and Martin Liya's leader is even more powerful. He is a person like Silver Fox. I am afraid that my brother will not be able to defeat Silver Fox. Please, Your Majesty..."

"Let's see, the army can't enter Wolfxibia for the time being. I can ask the Xiting Army to send out 10,000 elite cavalry to enter Wolfxibia first. This can make you feel more at ease, right?" The fat man waved his hand to interrupt Anoka. Su's words

"What your Majesty said is true!" Anocasu finally showed a happy look on his face. She had seen the Empire's West Court Army outside King Kalisu's capital. They were worthy of the name of the Emperor's sharpest minion. That was A real field archer has a natural suppression effect on the Martin Liga Cavalry.

After Anokasu left, Salton asked with a curious look on his face, "Is your Majesty really going to mobilize the West Court Army to join Wolf Xibia?"

The fat man stared in the direction of Langxibia. The lakes and lakes were sparkling with sunlight. This was what happened on the outskirts of Langxibia. I didn’t know what the scene was like in the hinterland of Langxibia. He nodded, "Not bad." , in fact, I still can’t let Anser’s main force be lost in Langxibia. If 10,000 Xiting troops open like Wolfxibia, at least the battle can be guaranteed. Under unfavorable circumstances, the Anser army will not be crushed by the Martin Liya cavalry on the way out. You must know that what causes the most mass casualties is often when the enemy is covering up and killing them all the way during a rout, and when blood flows into a river, "the fat man's voice" He paused for a moment and smiled slightly, "If all the Ansers die in Langxibia, who will act as bait to lure the Silver Fox out?"

Hearing the emperor's words, Salton couldn't help but feel chilled in his heart. It turned out that the emperor's real target had always been Silver Fox. He used 200,000 secret men as bait to force Silver Fox to take the bait. Moreover, Salton believed that Silver Fox himself might I also know this. This is like a confrontation between the hunter and the prey. Both sides are trying to show off their tricks.

In fact, the confrontation between the Silver Fox and the Emperor has already seen blood from the moment the Ero Empire was destroyed and the Southern Alliance prevented the Order State from joining the imperial camp. In the subsequent battle for Carisu, the Hokuriku nobles moved south. , Eero moved from the south to the north, and Martin attacked the Order State with an army of 500,000 people, all of which were fueled by this silver fox.

Now the entire Obarro's attention is focused on the two major battlefields of Southern Obarro. Nearly a million troops are fighting for each other. In fact, they are just pawns in the chess game between the Silver Fox and the Imperial Emperor.

The first major battlefield is naturally the battlefield of the Order State where the main force of the empire and the main force of Martin Liya are located. Half a month ago, the main force of Martin Liya's army has taken advantage of the early advantage to advance all the way, invincible, and has reached the outskirts of the Holy Capital. But now Half a month has passed, and Martin Liya's army is still unable to advance outside the Holy Capital. Especially when Martin Liya's western front was suddenly invaded by the Anser people, it made the whole situation worse.

Judging from the losses on the battlefield, the Martin Liya people are not as beautiful as they appear from the outside.

The main commander of the battlefield of the Order State is One-Eyed Saron, and the other commander who cooperates with him is Varisien the Destroyer. Neither of these two famous generals of the empire are generals with orthodox backgrounds, and they are not the same this time. If you are not fighting on the mainland of the empire, there is almost nothing to worry about. Under the emperor's instructions, two famous imperial generals commanded the imperial army without any burden. It seemed that they were retreating steadily, and they successively abandoned the central part of the Order Kingdom and the outskirts of the Holy Capital. In some unimportant strongholds, they continued to shrink their limited forces at important nodes, relying on the powerful defense of the imperial army that made the continent fearful, causing Martin Li Ya's army to fail several attacks. Liu, who has been unable to open up the situation outside the Holy City, has a posture of being a cowed turtle, which has shattered the glasses of many forces from various countries who originally wanted to see the fierce battle between the Empire and the Martin Liya people. !

But as time goes by, the views of various countries on the current Martin Liya Army have also changed dramatically. They originally believed that the Martin Liya Army can definitely attack the Order State in one go, but now they are also skeptical about this, because as long as they are not blind , it can be seen that the advantages of Martin Liya people are increasing It is gradually lost as time goes by, and the empire's extremely powerful war mobilization capabilities and abundant war preparation materials gradually level the unfavorable situation as time goes by. Time is the empire's best counterattack, just wait until the countries see this clearly. By that time, the situation had become unprepared.

According to statistics from the intelligence ministries of various countries, it has only been more than a month since the Martin Liya Army crossed the border of the Order State. The Martin Liya Army has successively fought with the imperial army, the local defenders of the Order State, and troops from various provinces. The garrison engaged in more than 300 battles, almost ten battles in one day. Although this total number of battles was considered normal for an army of hundreds of thousands of Martins, once the statistical losses were reached, even Even the top leaders of Martin Liya Army are not calm anymore.

Because although Martin's army defeated at least more than 100,000 The Order's garrison, its impact on the Order's battlefield military strength was actually minimal. The real main force in the battle was still the Imperial Army, and the Imperial Army's losses were only three to four thousand people. , the annihilated regional garrison of the Order State was itself a temporarily constructed Order militia. Under the call of the temple under the banner of jihad, they only distributed simple weapons to become soldiers. Many of these garrison members were religious believers, and more importantly, they defended their homes and country. The brutality of the Martin Liya people since the invasion, It also allowed more civilians to join the garrison, so it was not easy for Martin Liya's army to annihilate the regional garrison.

Maybe one stronghold or one town only cost Martin Liya's army no more than two or three hundred, one or two hundred, or dozens of troops, but with so many towns and temples in the Order State, the cumulative number is quite considerable. , a conservative estimate is that Martin Liya people are On the battlefield of the Order State, more than 30,000 troops were lost due to the resistance of the garrison. In order to stabilize these areas, more than 100,000 Martin Liya Army were restrained. The more areas the Martin Liya Army occupied, , the more troops are needed,

You must know that although the Martin Liya Army is known as an army of half a million people, its logistics line first passed through the Harvey Kingdom and then entered the territory of the Order State. It is already more than 400 miles long. Now as the main army gradually approaches In the holy capital of the Order, the supply line has grown from more than 400 miles to nearly a thousand miles.

Just to suppress the territory of the original Harvey Kingdom and protect this thousand-mile transportation line, as well as plunder the areas occupied by the Order State to ensure forward supplies, the 500,000-horse army had to detach 200,000 troops. And now as the Anxili family's 100,000 elites have retreated to the country, they are now outside the Holy Capital of the Order. The front-line Martin Liya Army actually has a strength of 200,000 people. After the empire's emergency mobilization some time ago, with the entry of Salon's southwest army and the entry of the Feishan area army, the empire's strength has dropped from the original six to six. The number of people from more than 10,000 people has increased to 170,000. Even if they can compete head-on with Martin's army, it is not impossible!

Silver Fox finally chose to call back to the Western Front. This may not necessarily mean that he believed that the battlefield of the Order State could no longer be defeated and decided to regain the situation from the Western Front.
