Realm of Power

Horse hooves splashed the mud, and a group of Ruela patrol cavalry was moving quickly from east to west, following the direction of the border river, patrolling and warning the swollen river.

"If you get to the outpost, you must give that bastard Carlin a few whips. What's the point of letting the brothers run so far on this rainy day!" A captain of the Rila border army looked at the rain curtain with an angry look. In the shrouded distance, both men and horses were covered in mud, their armor soaked up with rainwater, and they were heavy and wet. , although it is possible that the road has been cut off because of the rising water in the river, this is not the reason why there has been no news for two days in a row. The river in the entire area does not rise, and this is not the only one. Others are flowing with water. Come on, there are also three or four people who were swept away by the rapids. Why can we be so special when we get to Kalin?

"Captain, the pontoon bridge in front has collapsed. If we want to continue moving forward, we have to forcefully cross it. However, under such rain, it is difficult to guarantee that no brothers will be injured."

A subordinate covered in rain covered his eyelids with his hands. He looked around and whispered with an ugly face. The rainstorm came so urgently that it almost lasted all day and night. There were daily reports of violations in the direction of Carlin Post. The Eighth Regiment of the Rila Frontier Army, which was responsible for garrisoning here, didn't care at first, thinking it was heavy rain. The delay caused by this, but two days later, there was still no news from the direction of Carlin Post, which had to attract the attention of the Eighth Regiment of the Frontier Army. This patrol cavalry was immediately dispatched. In such a heavy rain, they were driven from the warmth in the middle of the night. Pulled out of the camp, the wind and fire were coming directly towards this place. No one would be in a good mood.

"The rain is too heavy. Let's go downstream and take a look. The lower reaches of this river lead directly into the Biang Kingdom. If any brothers are washed away by the Biang people, I'm afraid there will be some trouble."

The captain of the border army raised his right hand and wiped the rain from his face. After taking a closer look at the river, which was three times wider than usual, the vast expanse in front of him made his eyes hot. The Land of Three Rivers , is what the Ruila people call this place, and the meaning it represents may only be remembered by Ruila people.

The rivers here are crisscrossed and the terrain is flat. Even ordinary people know how fertile the land is. However, here you can't see the scenes of fertile fields, but large tracts of grass spreading, because this is the land of three rivers, which has been visited several times. The battlefield related to the fate of Barrow in Central Europe. Why the grass here is so dense is because every inch of the land here was once irrigated with human blood.

At its peak, there were three to four hundred thousand troops strangled here. More than a hundred years ago, the Hungarians from the east swept through Barrow in Central Europe like a hurricane. The Biang people, known as the Lords of Barrow in Central Europe, gathered other A total of 350,000 troops from all countries were trampled to pieces by the swarming Hungarian cavalry here, so that the Barrow countries in Central Europe were crushed in front of the Hungarians. Everyone is in danger, and the powerful Biang people have lost their position as the Lord of Barro in Central Europe and have turned from prosperity to decline. But what really made the Biang people bow their heads in front of the Ruila people was twenty-four years ago. In order to seize this land from the Kingdom of La and the Biang people, the people of La were the first to take action and attacked the 110,000 elite garrison troops led by the famous Biang general Duari, known as the Spear of Biang.

The battle lasted for four days. It could be said that there were mountains of corpses and rivers of blood! It is said that the dead bodies of both sides even blocked the Three Rivers. It was known as the most tragic battle in Barro in Central Europe. In the end, Rilla won the bet, with 110,000 casualties, and finally succeeded in killing the famous general Du Bion. Yari, Biang army died in battle With a victory of more than 90,000, the head of the Biang people, who had just been on the rise, was once again pressed down. That battle completely established the Rila people's position as the leader of the Barro in Central Europe, and also allowed the Biang Kingdom to remain in Rila until now. Can't hold up my head in front of others

As long as the Land of Three Rivers is in the hands of the Rila people, they can strategically suppress the Biang people. During the Hungarian Rebellion, King Owitt of Rila had to abandon the Land of Three Rivers in order to shrink his troops and return to the country for rescue. The Kingdom of Biang took the opportunity to occupy the Land of Three Rivers again. Fortunately, the Biang people went crazy and raised a flag of rebellion against the empire. The Kingdom of Rila effortlessly regained the land of Three Rivers. Even though the domestic military strength was extremely tight, it still stationed three corps with a total of 40,000 troops here. You must know that the entire Kingdom of Rila is now full of soldiers, that is, ten Thousands of people, but a new 30,000 youth army was formed to expand the force to more than 130,000 people

And here, Owitt suppressed one-third of the kingdom's troops.

Not only because of the importance of the Three Rivers Land, but also because this is the pride of the Ruila people.

Now that the Kingdom of Ruila wants to become the leader of Barro in Central Europe again, it must show enough strength. If it can't even control the land of Three Rivers, how can it talk about becoming the leader of Barro in Central Europe! Moreover, the Rila people have another plan. As long as the empire starts to launch a crusade against the Kingdom of Biang, they can take advantage of the river channels in the Land of Three Rivers to go down the river and seize the Kingdom of Biang's large land to the west of the Land of Three Rivers. In order to seize the opportunity, the Rila Army even built the outpost as far as Genoati, five miles away from the Kingdom of Biang, which is the location of the Carlin Outpost, the final destination of the Rila patrol cavalry.

In such a sensitive position, news has been cut off for two full days, and the patrol leader has to think about it. Logically speaking, the Biang people should not dare to show up now. In the victory of the battle for hegemony, the Biang people had occasionally shown their faces before, but now they could not even see their silhouettes. Although the Carlin outpost was close to the front, it was full of nearly a hundred people. Sharp, and there are two outposts ten miles away from Carlin Outpost. The total strength of the three outposts is 500 people. It is not possible for the Biang people to eat these three nails quietly. Such an easy thing, but now, there is no news from the three outposts. If it is just because of the heavy rain and rising water, it would be a bit too deceiving. They are all soldiers who have been exposed to the wind and rain, not so delicate!

When going down the river, you naturally want to find the narrowest place to swim. This is already a very wet and cold summer, and swimming is even colder, as if it is like an ice cellar. The soaked cavalry captain stepped into the river for the first time. He couldn't help but shudder. His already pale face looked even whiter. The river in front was rushing. A few corpses can be seen floating in the handful of tangled grass. They have been soaked and whitened and swollen. They are like white square floating balls entangled in the water plants. They are washed by the current and placed on the river beach. Following the ups and downs of the whirlpool, the familiar armor was just the first sight. The patrol cavalry captain was already sure that it was a Rilla soldier.

"Is he from Carlin's squadron?"

“I don’t know, but it’s definitely us Ruila people.”

The eyes of the cavalry behind were a little red, and their hands unconsciously grasped the hilt of their swords. They were still cursing, but they all held their breath at this moment. If the corpses in the Carlin sentry tower were all covered by the rain, The torrent has rushed here, and I am afraid that the Kalin Watch Tower is in danger. You must know that this rain only fell yesterday, but there was no news from the Carlin Watch Tower the day before yesterday. Everyone's heart is An ominous feeling arises

"Maybe it's the messenger!" The captain of the patrol cavalry looked away from the whirlpool next to the body with an ugly expression. He murmured in a low voice, and his face was even more ugly. If it was the Rilla messenger cavalry who was intercepted and killed in the river, this No wonder no news came back for two days, because the messenger cavalry died halfway. It's unwise to salvage the body at this time. The person is already dead, so what are you doing to salvage it? Moreover, under such rapids, the water has reached the height of the horse's belly. If you are not careful, you will be washed up to who knows what. There is no place to go, and rotten and soaked corpses are most likely to cause plague. I am afraid that the water in this river can no longer be drunk.

The cavalry captain glanced around. The swaying weeds blocked everything in the distance. The cavalry captain couldn't help but feel nervous. The only purpose of the other party's interception of the messenger cavalry was to prevent the news of Carlin's squadron from being sent back, or in other words, Kaline's squadron. It’s hard to say that Lin Squadron has been wiped out. This thought made the cavalry captain feel chills all over. The Carlin Squadron of 500 people, as well as the solid guard tower barrier, could not achieve total annihilation without a force of more than 3,000 people. Looking at it, who can do it here? There is only one person who can invest such troops in this wilderness, the Biang people! The Biang people sent troops to the land of three rivers again! This is absolutely something extraordinary!

"Sura, you immediately report the situation here to the camp, and the others will continue moving forward with me."

The captain of the patrol cavalry had a resolute look on his face and kept a cool head at critical moments. He was worthy of being an elite of Rilla who had experienced several wars. Even though he knew that the Biang army might have entered the land of three rivers, he would continue to encounter the enemy at any time. , but in order to understand the situation of the Carlin Squadron, he still chose to move forward. Although Genatia is the land of the Biang people, there is nothing to fear. I am a cavalry. If you really encounter the Biang people, Just open the horse's hooves and run! Even if there are more Bion soldiers, what can they do to us? , the cavalry captain loudly encouraged his men. An hour later, the cautious patrolling cavalry finally entered Genatia.

The rain in front of me washed away the mud and dust on the leaves, making the vast grass in front of me look green. The horse's hooves stepped into the mud on the ground, splashing water. Although they were moving forward in the rain curtain, they were going very fast, and the sound of the horse's hooves was very loud. Light, all the patrol cavalry fell on their horses. No one spoke, there was only the faint sound of the horses neighing,

"The Carlin sentry tower is in front of us. Others should be on guard." The captain of the patrol cavalry straightened up and issued an order after confirming that the surrounding area was safe. "The heavy rain destroyed everything. We have no way of knowing whether there is a Biang army nearby. If it is true, If you are targeted, you will immediately turn around and run away, you know? "

"Yes, Captain." The other cavalrymen nodded, spreading out like a huge fan. When the patrol cavalry captain came to the sentry tower, all he saw were corpses piled in front of the sentry tower. These corpses seemed to have been deliberately placed at the entrance of the sentry tower. The white flowers that had been stripped of their armor were tangled together. In front of the pile of corpses, a man wearing The corpse of a middle-aged man in Ruila Army armor was tied to a wooden stake. The corpse had been hit by countless arrows. It was shot to pieces and looked like a human being. There was still a sword in his hand, and one side was stained red with human blood. The Rilla Squadron flag hung diagonally on the wooden railing. The rain washed away the blood, but the sight was so suffocating that people could not breathe.

"It's Captain Carlin! The Rilla cavalry around them let out a scream, and all they thought about was that Squadron Carlin was finished!

"Everyone, check around and bury them," the cavalry captain said in a trembling voice with red eyes. The cavalry quickly checked the outpost, and a puzzling situation was discovered. They were found in the stable of the outpost. The corpses of five war horses were found, and the entire Carlin Squadron was equipped with only five fast horses. In other words, those who died in the river were not the messenger cavalry of the Carlin Squadron.

This discovery made everyone confused. Everyone looked at the cavalry captain. Sweat broke out on the cavalry captain's forehead. This was a bit stressful.

"It's not the messenger cavalry of Carlin Squadron, are you sure?"

"It's not wrong. We counted the horses, and all five of them were there. The other party cut the horse's neck directly, probably to prevent someone from escaping. And the mark on the horse's butt showed that it was the war horse of Carlin Squadron, and we When burying the corpse, the body of the messenger was found. In other words, this place was raided by the enemy, surrounded and then destroyed, so that the messenger cavalry did not have time to run to the stable."

"Are you saying that the Biang people really used a large army just to deal with a squadron? Someone asked hesitantly

""Or maybe some other target, it's hard to tell." The subordinate who came to report said to himself, which made the cavalry captain really want to kick this bastard to death. Do you know how shameful it is to leave such a serious matter to a superior? polite behavior

"Captain, we found traces of army movements to the east of the sentry tower. They should be the enemies who attacked the Carlin sentry tower. But for some reason, after the enemy attacked the Carlin sentry tower, they seemed to be in a hurry and headed east. , the number of traces is amazing!”

A patrol cavalry ran over panting. Even the rain all day and night could not hide the traces. This was at least only possible for an army of tens of thousands of people. Tens of thousands of people... A Carlin squadron was wiped out. The expression of the cavalry captain Bai was so scared that the situation was so weird that his head was numb. The Biang people used a large army to destroy the Carlin sentry tower, and then turned sharply to the east. This showed that the real target of the Biang people was to the east, but there was something to the east. What?

"Everyone gather, let's go to the east." The cavalry captain ran towards his horse, got on the horse and galloped towards the east. There was a large black cloud in the east. This was what made the cavalry captain's scalp numb. Based on experience, the cavalry captain knew that those were not dark clouds, but vultures. Such a large number of vultures itself was enough to explain the problem.

Vultures are scavengers. The fact that so many people died at Kalin Watchtower and not a single vulture came here is enough to prove that the feast there is better than here.

The rain-soaked weeds in front of me had obviously been trampled, and most of them were hanging low in the mud. After running eastward along the traces for more than half an hour, a wilderness soaked in blood appeared in front of us. Countless streams, all red

"Oh my God!" The cavalry captain pulled the horse hard, his pupils dilated. The cavalry behind him were even more confused. Some even fell off the horse because of excessive force and rolled into the muddy water. There was no feeling of pain at all, and everyone was shocked. Just in front, under the grass as far as the eye could see, there were people wearing broken war clothes everywhere. A's corpse was spread out in a line, hundreds of meters apart, and the strong smell of rotting corpses in the air was unbearable. Densely packed broken spears and broken spears covered the edge of the earth, and a broken flag in the distance. It stood diagonally in the rain wash. The flag cloth on it had already been soaked and rolled around the flagpole, making it look even more desolate and broken. The words on it were still faintly visible. The flag is still here, and underneath the flag are piles of corpses. Large groups of corpse-eating vultures are still swarming in the rainy China, rising and falling one after another, screaming strangely as if to celebrate their good luck.

"It seems to be the military flag of the Youth Army!" "Why did the Youth Army die here? This is a Youth Army of 30,000 people!" The voice of the cavalry captain was almost hysterical, resounding through the wilderness.
