Realm of Power

The black-haired young man and Putamia were on the flat-topped hill, overlooking the situation far and near.

Putamia was dressed in military uniform and looked towards the edge of the south with complex eyes. Her clothes were fluttering in the night wind. The knight sword on her waist showed the true character of a heroic Valkyrie. She said in a complicated tone, "I have to go. Otherwise, once your imperial army starts fighting with the armies of the southern princes, the road to the south will be blocked by scouts from both sides. At that time, it will be even more difficult to sneak into the south of Héro! "

"The southern part of Erault is still covered by the yellow sand. Although it may disappear suddenly, how can you determine the time of disappearance? It would be quite dangerous to rush in hastily!" The black-haired young man hesitated and decided. When asked this question, Putamiya firmly believed that the southern yellow sand would disappear, but if it did not disappear, since Putamiya chose to come at this time, in addition to the so-called records, there are other trump cards.

He knew that Potamia's determination to go to the south of Hero could no longer be shaken, and this obviously involved the secret of Potamia, the Pope of the Order. Persuasion was useless. What Potamia said was Really, without the scepter, she might not live to be thirty. Faced with this irrefutable reason, even the black-haired young man could not find a reason to persuade the other party not to go.

"Even if you don't disappear, there is still a way to get in."

Sure enough, Potamia smiled indifferently, raised her head to look at the stars in the sky, and said in a cold tone, "Going south from the capital of Aero, you can see the flat terrain of the northern wetland. The outline of the hills comes into view, and the winding lines are as close as Aero. Looking across from the royal capital, on these highlands mixed with large tracts of woodland, the water network of the great wetland began to gather, like a glittering and translucent river with floating tassels. Surrounding like a string of beads, these rivers are like blood vessels, which not only provide abundant water sources to the south of the royal capital, creating a large area of ​​dense woodland, but also as the terrain begins to rise, the reason why the Eero area was originally divided into upper and lower areas Hérault is because the topography of Hérault is extremely unique, low in the north and high in the south, forming an upper and lower layer like a sudden fault.”

Putamia paused for a moment before continuing, "So if the yellow sand that permeates the southern Erault advances northward, the faults in the terrain will greatly speed up the flow, causing the original coverage area to begin to reveal. According to what I teach According to Tuan Guo’s observations over the past ten years, Huangsha crossed the fault line a year and a half ago. area, began to enter the Hérault Hills significantly. Otherwise, why would the Hérault Emperor Farouk suddenly become interested in the ruins of the Holy City, and even mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to snatch the ruins of the Holy City? It was because the Hérault royal family obviously knew At this point, when the yellow sand crosses the fault, it is a sign that it begins to disappear."

"At that time, the southern part of Hérault will be revealed, but how long the yellow sand will last to the north is not known to the Hérault royal family. Only our country of the Order knows."

"So Emperor Farouk of Erault launched a war to plunder the ruins of the Holy City, just to know whether there were any records in this regard in the ruins. Moreover, the southern part of Eró was revealed. At first, the only holy city institutions in the southern part of Eró were the Holy City. Only special substances can be used to open it, and everyone knows that the big earthquake collapsed the Holy City, and the treasure house of the Holy City was also buried there."

"I was just talking about the ruins of a holy city, and no one paid attention to it for so many years. Why did the Ero Empire and the Kingdom of Aden suddenly invest hundreds of thousands of troops in a war? It turns out that this is what it is..." Hearing this Potamia's words caused a look of astonishment on the face of the black-haired young man. As an eyewitness of the original incident, he had always been concerned about Ero's original incident. The battle between the Empire and Aden was regarded as a land grab for the eastern corridor of the Inland Sea. If the Pope of the Order State, Potamia, had not personally come to find him at that time, he would not have known that the ruins of the Holy City were on the land of Cornonia, let alone Didn’t you know that the Aero people and the Aden people mobilized a total of one million troops and fought fiercely for more than two months, just to rob the ruins of a holy city?

Ta even watched Potamia send his own sister as a substitute to the ruins of the Holy City, and eventually died there. The black-haired young man always thought that what Potamia wanted was the radioactive material below the Holy City, and Now it sounds like that is not the case at all. The Ero Empire, the Kingdom of Aden, and the Order State are the holy The three major successor forces of the city are really fighting in the ruins. In fact, after the yellow sand in southern Hérault disappears, who can be the first to open the key to the remaining civilization in southern Hérault. In other words, at that time, the Order State , Aden’s Red Dragon Palace, and the Elo royal family already know the information that the yellow sand is about to disappear from the southern part of Elo.

Then the Kingdom of Aden announced that it would abandon the inland sea area, and Pudamia brought the army of the Order State to personally launch a war against the Hero Empire. There is no doubt that the plot was to manifest the world in the southern part of Hero.

If Potamia hadn't said it, he would never have thought of it. The black-haired young man took a deep breath and felt that his head was in a mess. The large hills in front of him were so beautiful under the starry sky that it was really difficult. Combining the scene before us, in a few months, the shadow of the raging yellow sand may actually be seen in the capital of Eero, or the terrible scene of the capital of Eero becoming a flooded area of ​​​​yellow sand.

The capital of Hérault basically represents the largest scale of large cities in this era, because in the capital of Hérault, the black-haired emperor rarely found a complete urban underground sewer system, which almost covers the eleven main streets in the north and south of the capital of Hérault. There are fourteen east-west streets and thirty-seven districts criss-crossing it. Among them, the traffic trunk that runs through the west-bound street is only slightly smaller in scale than the current Imperial Capital Ocean City.

"The royal capital built by the Hérault people in the south was three times the size of the Hérault capital in front of them. The surrounding city clusters had a total population of more than 1.2 million. The temple built along the Hérault river was There are nineteen buildings, forming a cross-shaped layout, covering the entire Lower Hérault area. Divided into nine districts, it can be seen how developed the agricultural civilization was in the southern part of Hérault, and how attractive the heritage of this civilization is. However, Your Majesty does not have to worry about it. The yellow sand will disappear before July. , this is my personal prediction, I am not in a position to disclose the rest.”

There was a confused look in Pudamia's eyes. After all, the southern part of Erro is the heritage of the Holy City. For this goddess stick who claims to be a descendant of the Holy City, it has a natural and huge attraction. She took the war horse from behind. He took the reins and climbed onto the horse with a strong body. Under the night, in the wilderness outside the capital of Aero, spots of fire spread out under the vast sky.

"Where did the Holy City come from and why it was eventually destroyed? It is said that the answer can be found in the southern branch of Erron. If I can't come back, please be kind to the people of the Order." Putamia smiled bitterly. The hearty voice followed the galloping horse away, and it could be heard from the voice that the female pope was actually sure of finding the scepter of the Holy City. Not big, but this was the mission of the three successors of the Holy City. For this reason, Emperor Farouk of Erro died in the war. The Kingdom of Aden reluctantly gave up its interests in the eastern part of the Inland Sea. Millions of soldiers saw it in the ruins of the Holy City. This earth-shattering scene, all of this, in the end, turned into the final struggle for the southern part of Hérault, the final push at the last moment,

Seeing Potamia's dashing figure disappearing into the distance under the escort of a dozen Templars in plain clothes, the black-haired young man secretly felt a sense of desolation.

The Imperial Minister of State Hu Keqili came up from behind wearing heavy armor and hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, the scouts have dispersed. The coalition of princes in the southern part of Eero has now retreated to Kumbar, eighty miles away. Do we need it?" Intercept His Highness Putamiya?"

"No need to stop us, let's go down and start the cleanup operation, and let Potamia pass by!"

The black-haired emperor withdrew his gaze from a distance and waved his hand. His relationship with Potamia was originally based on interests, but it would be false to say that there was no personal relationship at all, not to mention that Potamia finally chose It was a choice to hand over the Order State to the Empire and go to the south of Hero alone!

Kumbar, which means hills after rain in the Eero language, and the humid and hot climate all indicate that it has just rained here.

The long wilderness wind blows past the cirrus clouds in the hazy sky, and the hilly wasteland of the earth begins to appear in front. Under the bushes, the yellow-brown sand and dust can be faintly seen, and the wind blows like a barrier. Rolling, rolled up into the air, and then thrown down fiercely, shrouding the world in desolation.

In the wilderness, the hoofs of the horses were raised and lowered, turning the ground under their feet into mud. The coalition forces of the southern princes that had retreated from the capital of Aero had arrived here. There seemed to be only the whistling of the wilderness wind in the humid air. The Imperial Minister of State The 80,000-strong army of Hu Keqili, the Sword of the Empire, arrived at the capital of Aero. The number of imperial scouts has increased rapidly. From a small number of cavalry at the beginning, to now they are pressing forward unscrupulously. As the sharpest weapon used to limit opponents before the war, the imperial scout cavalry relied on the assault crossbows on their fingers. The suppression of the scouts of the southern princes' coalition was too obvious.

A group of cavalry from the southern princes appeared here. They followed the horrific battlefield traces. After stopping their horses, everyone's face turned pale. The outline of the battlefield was already obvious. Human corpses and horse corpses, the ground was stained with blood, and they fell. The light cavalry horses, eyes that cannot close their eyes, and the colorful lord's broken flags drifting diagonally in the wind are like monsters. As the demon danced, a tall corpse also attracted their attention. The armor was thick and exquisite. It showed that he had an extraordinary status. There were several old wounds on his hands, and there were several knife marks on the wolf fang shoulder pads on the armor's shoulders. It is enough to prove that he is a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles. I don’t know what kind of enemy he encountered, but he was killed here.

"I never expected that Captain Ruta, known as the Southern Gale, would also be finished!"

The officer who led the Southern Allied Forces took it back from the body with a bleak expression. Southern Gale Ruta, the general person in charge of the Southern Allied Forces scouts, even he died here, which is enough to show that this large-scale battle between the scouts of the two sides, with the Southern Allied Forces The princes' scouts ended up in a disastrous defeat. One day ago, in order to break the embarrassing situation of being completely compressed by the empire's scouts, the chief scout personally gathered 400 scouts and left the camp.

But I didn't expect that in just one day, Feng Ruta's body would appear here, and the consequences for the other four hundred scouts can also be imagined.

After confirming that there were no survivors, the scouts' eyes were full of sorrow. The disparity in strength was really too great.

I didn't feel it when I surrounded the capital of Eero before. I thought that the so-called Imperial Army, the number one in the mainland, was nothing more than that. Everyone had been confronting each other for two months, but no one saw anything special about the Imperial Army. , it was impossible to rely on the sophisticated weapons, but now the Imperial Army really showed its fangs, and they were so sharp,

"It's all the trouble caused by the Aden people. They attacked the defenseless Sky Temple of the Empire. Now the Empire is venting its anger on us." Another scout took a deep breath and murmured in a low voice with an ugly face. What happened to the Sky Temple incident? The news had already reached the coalition forces of the southern princes of Aero. At first, everyone did not take it seriously, but the ensuing imperial retaliation made them feel that they had become the scapegoat.

The Imperial Army's violent style of blood for blood, tooth for tooth, relied on the absolute superiority of the cavalry scouts to comprehensively suppress the southern coalition scouts.

Within two days, more than 600 southern coalition scouts were killed. The fifty miles around the camp became a slaughterhouse. As long as the existence of southern coalition scouts was discovered, the Imperial Army would kill them without hesitation. This resulted in a large number of The scouts of the southern princes army disappeared directly. Less than 30% of the scouts sent out from the camp every day often returned. In these few days, the southern coalition scouts have refused to carry out orders.

The Southern Allied Forces did not expect that the Imperial Army would fight like this. A scout battle was like a massacre. They were caught off guard and the losses were tragic. The corpses of the Southern Allied Army scouts were scattered on the hills, and the wilderness was chaotic. On the grass, on the rocks, and in the folded ravines on the ground, there is blood that has solidified. There were still scattered arrows on the ground, and fallen war horses with arrow clusters on them. Their owners also fell not far away, their bodies covered with scars. The tail feathers of arrow clusters were stuck on the corpses' backs. The fan-shaped area in front of them was Almost all of them were dead Southern Allied Army scouts. Looking from a distance, it looked like a huge white flowerbed swaying in the wind!

"No, I'll ask for the scout team to be called out when I get back. If this continues, we will all die, and we will all be killed by the emperor." A scout wailed, tragic, bloody, and the pitiful sadness of rabbits and foxes made all the southern scouts I feel a chill coming from my heart. This is the true combat power of the Imperial Army. As long as they are targeted by Imperial scouts, no one can escape.

In front of the entire southern princes, the empire once again perfectly demonstrated what absolute suppression and absolute control mean!

Now the entire southern coalition seems to have been blinded and deafened, and the imperial scouts are still wandering outside the southern coalition camp from time to time, making the camp extremely tense every time. The southern princes do not know that at this moment in the imperial In the ** camp, the general has been quietly changed, and the one who is actually in command has been replaced by another person 2k reading network
