Realm of Power

Lucize III looked at the troops that had been pushed back. He staggered and almost fell. The attendants next to him quickly helped him. The surrounding generals looked panicked. They didn't know how to deal with the situation for a while. Looking at the continuous stream of Rilla reinforcements in the direction of Sun Fortress, looking at the mountains of shining swords, guns and swords Formation, one after another Rila flags flying in the air, everyone was overwhelmed by a heavy and extremely terrifying premonition. They closed their mouths tightly, and the entire command level was enveloped in a depressing and heavy silence. In the middle, Lucize III's almost hoarse voice said in a deep voice, "Send the order, all armies will withdraw from the Sun Fortress."

"Your Majesty, we must not give up the Sun Fortress."

A Rila general stood up and shouted loudly, his eyes were terribly red, and he said quickly, "Your Majesty, if we give up the Sun Fortress, we, the Biang people, will never be able to straighten our spines. Even if reinforcements from the Rila people arrive, what will happen?" In this way, as long as His Majesty gives the order, I, Lotori, am willing to lead the army to fight again. Even if I risk my life, I will definitely seize this Sun Fortress for Your Majesty."

"Can't you see that our army is no longer able to launch another attack?" Lucize III smiled bitterly.

"No, Your Majesty, we still have tens of thousands of reserves, as long as Your Majesty gives the order." The face of General Bion was ferocious and terrifying.

"The reserve team you are talking about doesn't mean that tens of thousands of wounded soldiers will also be pushed up, right?" Lucize III looked at General Biang gloomily. Where is the reserve team? Biang has already moved forward. Later, more than 200,000 yuan was invested, and all the reserves had long been exhausted. If there were still any troops that could be used, it would be tens of thousands of wounded soldiers lying all over the ground in the camp behind them.

General Bion took a deep breath, looked in the direction of the Sun Fortress with sharp eyes, and said with excitement, "I believe that in such a battle for national destiny, anyone who can still stand up should contribute his or her final strength." , now both Bion and the Rila people have reached the final moment of struggle. Even the investment of one or two thousand people can save this decadent situation. Among the tens of thousands of wounded soldiers, I believe that they can still fight again. The number of people will never be less than five thousand."

Lucize III shook his head and said, "Enough people have died. This battle has consumed the last strength of the Kingdom of Biang. It is because of my wrong decision that so many soldiers died here. Is it possible now?" Do you want to send the wounded soldiers as cannon fodder? I, Bion, have been severely injured in this battle. , Continuing to consume will only make me more disadvantaged than Ang!" Lucize III smiled faintly, with indescribable pride and desolation in his smile. When he saw the general about to speak, Lucize III waved his hand, "Retreat - this It's an order, no need to fight." The generals were dejected and each conveyed the order.

Lucize III stood under the flag of the Kingdom of Biang, his arrogant body in silence, seeming to have great power. This battle for national destiny finally failed! The thing that weighs most heavily on Lucize III's heart is Yishakelnan's mistake. He gave Yishakelnan 40,000 troops, and almost half of the troops north of the Sun Fortress were given to Yishakelnan. Kernan's purpose is to hope that Isha Kernan can give the exhausted Ryla's main force a blow in the back when the main forces of both sides are exhausted.

However, there was no information from Ishakelnan, and the reinforcements from Ruila seemed to have encountered no obstacles. With high morale, compared to losing this hastily and failed war, Lucize What I hate the most in my heart is Ishakalnan.

"Your Majesty! There is new news from the Ninth Army of the Border Guards!"

"What? The Ninth Border Guard Army 1" Lucize III's face couldn't help but be moved. Why was it the Ninth Army of the Border Guard who wrote the letter and not Ishakelnan? Could it be that Ishakelnan died in the battle? Lucize III suddenly turned around with a happy face. "Bring it up immediately." Soon a report from the Ninth Army of the Border Guard was delivered to Lucize III. Lucize III couldn't wait to open the report and glanced at it. Then, he clenched his fingers suddenly, and the bastard Ishakelnan didn't even move closer to the Sun Fortress. , they were still more than ten miles away from the Sun Fortress. At the end, they suddenly ordered the assembled border guards to retreat, and the reinforcements of the Rila people were killed from the direction south of Ishakel. Come on, if the reinforcements from the Rilla people are an hour late, maybe my deception will really work.

Ishakelnan! Lucize III clenched his fingers suddenly and crumpled the report into a ball. This was unabashed collaboration and betrayal. He finally knew where the failure lay. His eyes were red and frightening, and even his breathing was filled with heat.

Hérault Sea, Harusun Bay.

The closer we get to the outlet of the Grand River Hérault, the more turbid the water becomes, so turbid that only a thin surface can be seen with the naked eye. A large number of invisible undercurrent vortices are also ambushing. The river rushing out from the direction of the continental shelf is like a huge yellow dragon thousands of miles long. The seawater surges against each other and creates turbid waves. Large tracts of algae float in the sea water, providing a steady stream of food for marine fish. The fish production of Harusun Bay is quite famous in the entire eastern part of the inland sea. In normal times, you can see fishing boats here, going back and forth, just like a vegetable market on the street. However, when the Imperial Navy fleet coming from the direction of Cassi Island entered Harusun Bay, no fishing boats were seen. Looking at it, the sea surface of Harusun Bay is empty and looks very dark. The sea water is surging restlessly, and from time to time waves rise up to one meter high.

"The storm is coming. We can only take shelter here temporarily. It would be better for you to make preparations!" Imperial Navy Minister Dust looked at the gloomy black sky and said to Hu Keqili beside him.

"Preparation?" Hu Keqili looked stunned. What do he need to prepare? In his mind, isn't the Imperial Navy an invincible existence? Do you have to avoid even a small storm? Dostelenko had to explain to the Imperial Army Minister why he had to be prepared. Manpower was weak in the face of the huge force of nature. Even a storm could destroy an entire fleet. Fortunately, now The shipbuilding technology of the Imperial Navy has improved a lot, especially the huge dragon-class main battleships. They are the bulwark of the entire fleet during sea confrontations. During storms, they are also the focus of stabilizing the entire fleet from being overturned by the storm.

"When a storm comes, it's best not to stand on the deck." Dostelenko wanted to persuade Hukoqili to go to his cabin. Just when Hukoqili was about to nod, the right side of the ship's deck, on the side of the ship, There were shouts,

"Sir, we found an abnormal situation on the right side." An imperial sailor ran over panting, and the two immediately came to the right side of the ship. The storm had not yet come, but the sea water was already surging uneasily, and the water in the Hudson Bay seemed to be It's gradually boiling. There are not too many waves, but the dense waves one after another make people feel that the sea has become impatient and wants to scream and roar urgently. There were a lot of debris floating on the sea from nowhere, and even the rotting corpses of dead people.

"It's really not a good sign."

"It must have been destroyed by the storm in front. It looks like it was a smuggling ship." Listening to the discussions of the sailors around him, Hu Keqili was not surprised. Smuggling ships are generally not very strong, and many of them are made of old materials. It is a very normal situation for a large ship to be converted into a shipwreck in the sea, and smugglers do not deserve sympathy. I can only say that these people are so unlucky!

"Sling a small boat down!" Dostelenko's eyes fell on a broken deck floating on the sea. The words on it made him frown. He ordered a small sampan to be sent down immediately.

"Is there any problem?" Hu Keqili felt that Dostelenko was making too much of a fuss. It was just a shipwreck. This kind of thing should be common on the sea. Dostelenko is a dignified person. Lord Admiral of the Imperial Navy, this kind of thing is not worth showing any fuss about,

"This is an Aden smuggling ship," Dostelenko snorted with a heavy nose.

"Aden smuggling ship?" Hu Keqili still didn't know what the problem was.

"Aden no longer has an outlet to the sea in the inland sea, and the entire inland sea has also entered an embargo. How do you think this Aden smuggling ship got here? Warm water is the harbinger of heat storms. What is the origin of this storm? "It's not small." Dust's words had just finished, "Boom!" "A thunder seemed to resound throughout the entire Harusun Bay, and in the blink of an eye, the downpour began to wreak havoc. The raindrops hit the deck of the Dragon-class battleship like bullets. The rain was cold and biting, but the waves were warm. The sea water on my body is warm, which is in sharp contrast with the rain.

"Commander Dustrunkai, there is no need to beat around the bush. To be honest, if you pick any one of the imperial sailors, they will know these things better than me." Hu Keqili wiped the rain from his face and said no. He smiled in satisfaction. His Majesty the Emperor was right. You should never fight in an environment that you are not familiar with. This is the vast and boundless sea, and this is Dustelenko's world.

Dostelenko's eyes flashed and he took a deep breath, "The fleet of the Adenites has long been unable to pass through the inland sea, and the fleets of other forces hardly approach the seaport where the undercurrent surges. There is only one possibility. That is, the Aden smuggling ship sailed out from the big river, and the place connected to the south of the big river is the Sea of ​​Mist. The fact that the Aden smuggling ship can drive here is enough to show that they have a way to cross the Sea of ​​Mist.

"It's a pity that there are no survivors, otherwise..." Dostronkai sighed, and the sailor who went to check came back with roughly the same report. It was certain that this was indeed an Aden smuggling ship.
