Realm of Power

"It's Thor, the Imperial Thunder God!"

“We are trapped“

"Boom boom boom!"

Stafa, the commander of the 16th Aden Corps, turned pale under a series of thunder god strikes. He arranged the six thousand troops around the central palace as a plan to drag the imperial army into street fighting. The large oasis was not as dense as a There is also a white sand dune in the Poka Oasis at the gateway. The surrounding areas of the large oasis can be seen at a glance. In the open sand on the border, the imperial army used long-range crossbows to intimidate the entire Obarro. Often before the army advanced, there would be dense and numbing arrows that directly knocked down the opponent, and then launched a surprise attack with cavalry. The infantry group then swooped in, and countless famous generals from the Oparo continent were overwhelmed and dragged to death.

It was impossible to win a field battle with the Imperial Army. Staffa deployed his troops around the royal palace with numerous buildings as the center. The layout also showed considerable military quality. However, Staffa never dreamed that the Imperial Army would actually Being able to bring the heavy Thor Cannon, this alone shows how large a transportation force the Imperial Army mobilized for this battle.

"Attention, the imperial army has entered the city! Hold still!"

The Aden infantry captains shouted one after another among the dense crowd. Suddenly, clouds of smoke rose up, and more than 6,000 Aden soldiers crowded into an area of ​​more than 6,700 square meters centered on the royal palace. As the smoke plumes fell, there was a gap in the crowd. "Boom." "Long" the voices of the infantry captains stopped suddenly again, covered by violent explosions. Artillery fire plowed from the front to the back, shrapnel whizzed and flew in all directions. With every explosion, a mass of flesh and blood rose up, and the fierce artillery fire did not stop at all. signs. In the blink of an eye, the blocking building outside the central palace was exploded. Each explosion lifted broken wood and flesh into the air. The deer line set up by the Aden people was about a hundred meters deep. Half of it was cleared at this time, but there were still dozens of meters left. There are layers upon layers of wooden piles, wooden frames, earth and stone obstacles. The people of Aden were hiding behind these wooden frames and didn’t even dare to raise their heads.

The imperial army entered the large oasis. The soldiers in front tore away these obstacles and climbed over them impatiently. Hundreds of imperial crossbowmen aimed at the front. The Aden defense line trembled slightly, whirring, thunder god cannonballs. It struck again, and rows of large and small fires suddenly flashed on the opposite side! The Aden soldiers struggling inside the obstacle were as if they were suddenly struck by lightning

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" The fireball exploded like a squeezed watermelon, and the Aden soldiers shook and fell in large pieces. The screams could not be suppressed, and there were people falling everywhere. The people of Aden are really ruthless. As long as the officers did not escape, these soldiers did not escape, which made the imperial soldiers who saw this scene somewhat admired

"As expected, it was indeed the fourth army of the Kingdom of Aden that fought for three days with 4,000 troops during the great war between Aden and the Eero Empire. It resisted the 8,000 imperial guardsmen under Emperor Eero who attacked for three days. Two-thirds of them were lost in the battle, but they still refused to retreat. The Aden Ace Troop"

Ramlak, who was observing the battle through the lookout mirror, took a deep breath and saw with his own eyes the extremely dense flow of people struggling in the far-reaching deer area. The dead people were innumerable one by one. But more men retreated, panting, and the Adenians placed all their soldiers within the barriers. People who rush over see it: they are densely packed in the large oasis opposite

There was actually a trench dug in the city. There was a thin deer cover in front of the trench to prevent the impact of imperial soldiers. Sharp wooden stakes were smashed into the ground in a triangular shape.

It is not a secret that the Aden people have stationed 100,000 troops in the Grand Oasis. Even the commander of that unit, the number of people, and the rationing of arms are quite detailed, and the Aden 16th Corps, the garrison in the Great Oasis, is even more prestigious. Hehe, although it is a force that was reorganized later, in terms of combat effectiveness, it is definitely quite famous among the 100,000-strong Oasis garrison. Yes, it has the title of Steel Walled Iron Guards Regiment. If it were not like this, Ramlak would not rather wait for three more hours to pull the Imperial Thunder God into position before launching an attack. The arrangement of the Aden people also proved that, The opposing commander of Aden was very smart to avoid the disadvantage of field battle with the imperial army, and instead chose street fighting that could better utilize the combat power of the Aden army!

In fact, for ordinary Aden soldiers, there is no place to avoid these thunder bullets that explode like meteors. The royal palace behind is a prominent living target. The ears of the Aden soldiers hiding here are all filled with thunder bombs. From the roaring sound above his head, one can imagine that the situation behind him in the direction of the royal palace was much worse than on his side. This is not the key area taken care of by the Imperial Thunder God. Only one of the five Thunder God bombs landed here. "Steady!, don't mess up!" The command knife in the hand of the Aden officer was still pointing straight forward. The officers and soldiers in front of him who were lying on the ground during the explosion were shouting. When I got up, I was blown out of the vacant position. Immediately, someone with a determined look stepped forward to fill the position.

"To the south, a large amount was found in the south"

"The west side, the west side is also blocked!"

"They're coming, the imperial army is coming.

Flags that had almost never been seen before poured in densely from the entrance of the big oasis. Under the flags was a dense mass of darkness and a long line like a crowd. It was impossible to see how many people there were. All I knew was that there were countless people in the area that could be seen. The sharp spear pointed towards the sky, still shining brightly under the dim sky, the black From a distance, the colored armor looks like a dense forest shimmering with black cold light. Rows of large steel shields also set up shield walls from several directions. It is completely unknown how many people are behind the shield wall, but there are One thing is certain, it will definitely exceed the current number of Aden troops. The imperial army is beginning to prepare for a general offensive.

"If our army defends like this, there will be no other possibility except being blown up by the Imperial Army's Thunder God!" The officers of Aden were wavering. The terrifying power of the Imperial Thunder God made them shake their determination to persevere. The Imperial Army's crossbow shooters also The beatings caused blood to be splashed among the soldiers, and screams could be heard from heaven to earth. Some Aden officers shouted orders and organized archers to shoot, but the range of the imperial crossbow was obviously longer than the range of the Ding compound bow. Seeing the arrows finally falling lightly in front of the imperial army twenty or thirty meters away, the Aden officers went crazy. Normally, he would slash at the wooden stake in front of him with the sword in his hand.

The imperial army had an absolutely overwhelming advantage in the long range. Facing the imperial arrows that flew towards them like metal waterfalls, and the indiscriminate bombardment of the imperial thunder gods, everyone in the Aden army felt that it was huge to defend the palace. Wrong, the imperial army's long-range weapons are actually It was so powerful that the imperial army could level the entire royal palace area with just the Thunder God, without the need to use infantry to attack. Just when Staffa was still hesitating, the lookout post located at the highest bell tower of the royal palace News came that made the faces of the people of Aden change suddenly.

"Sir, the imperial army is setting up catapults on the sand dunes three hundred meters southwest of the royal palace!"

"catapult!"

The Aden officer saw the corps commander Stafa trembling, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

When he saw the Imperial Thunder God, Staffa had not wavered in his determination to hold on, but when he heard the catapult, he showed an expression as if he had heard a savage beast. It is not scary for the imperial army to cut down trees on the spot to build catapults. What is scary is that the imperial army has Several terrible weapons for use with slings, The most notorious among them is the Imperial Incendiary Bomb. Although the Imperial Thunder God exploded violently and caused considerable casualties, there are still blind spots that can be avoided. But if the Imperial Army uses an incendiary bomb that burns everything against the central palace, these six of our own will I'm afraid not one of the thousands of people will survive!

"Pass my order, all squadrons must assemble and prepare to break out!"

Staffa glanced at the already darkened sky, and clenched his fingers fiercely. If the imperial army could transport the heavy Imperial Thunder God, they must have brought incendiary bombs with them. "Hulala!" The night wind was fierce. The sound blew through the large empty oasis, and the central palace was filled with thick smoke. In the flickering light of the fire, the Aden army began to gather quietly. The more they gathered, the more they gathered, the darkness was overwhelming, and an explosion The flash of the thunder god from the explosion illuminated Staffa's stern face. Under his thick black eyebrows, his gaze was as deep as the night sky. At this time, it was a blessing to be able to break through the encirclement and only one third of the 6,000 people could survive, but he would always die in battle. It was better than being burned alive, and the imperial army would never have thought that they would suddenly abandon the defense of the palace and break out at night, which greatly increased the possibility of a successful breakout.

"Sir, we are ready."

An officer reported to Staffa that in the dark night, even the night wind became miserable. In front, the attacking imperial army stopped attacking half an hour ago and began to distance itself from the Aden army. This was about to happen. It was a precursor to launching an incendiary bomb attack. The power of the incendiary bombs was too fierce, and with the fire, even the imperial troops who were too close would be affected.

The air seemed to be filled with a burning smell in advance.

Staffa turned around sternly, mounted the horse behind him, and broke out to the north. Although the next large oasis was still eighty miles away, this was the only possible way to survive. He glanced at the dark mass of soldiers behind him. , with a complicated look on his face. Of the 6,000 soldiers, there were only less than 4,000 left in front of him. In the end, he didn’t know how many of them would reach the next oasis alive.

"For the glory of Aden, everyone follow me"

Staffa drew his sword and shouted loudly. He was the first to rush into the main road in front of him, like a long silent black line. The Aden soldiers followed closely behind him. After crossing a low-lying land in front, dense sounds rang out from the side. Sharp and sharp, like in the dark night In the middle, a river of light suddenly rose up, the horses' hooves rumbled, and the earth trembled, "There is an ambush by the Imperial Cavalry!" The shrill alarm sound brought a chill to people's faces, and the cracking of the horses' hooves was like a storm passing over the earth. I saw a sword like snow. The imperial black-armored cavalry's impact line spread out like eagle wings, suddenly swooped down like an avalanche through the undulating arc of the ground.

"Fooled!"

The first thought that came to Stafa's mind was that it was impossible for the imperial army to use imperial incendiary bombs, because the destructive power of incendiary bombs was too strong. Once ignited, they were completely uncontrollable and the entire oasis would turn into a sea of ​​flames. And the imperial army If you want to establish a foothold in the Great Oasis, you will never carry out a devastating blow to the Great Oasis. Otherwise, the Empire will not only destroy the Great Oasis it has obtained, but also become the ruins of the entire Great Desert because of this devastating fire. Deadly enemy! Therefore, the imperial army deployed slings, either to show off, or to force themselves out of the central palace. The imperial army had already opened their pockets, waiting for them to move in!

The sound of horse hooves roared loudly, roaring, fighting sounds, and various sounds of metal and iron clashing at the same time. The imperial armored cavalry suddenly launched an interception at close range. Even Obarro's heavy armored infantry could not stop it. , and because of the hot weather, most of the Aden army's garrison in the Grand Oasis are light infantry.

On the main road of the Grand Oasis where four horses can run parallel, the Aden soldiers who broke out had no time to dodge. The imperial cavalry was like a hammer speeding at high speed, exploding into the group of Aden soldiers.

The armored cavalry at the front, holding lances and shields in their hands, slammed into the turbulent crowd in front of them like a sharp nail. "Pap-pa-pa", the flying hoofs of the horses violently knocked away the people in front. Sharp spear, big flash

In an instant, it was like steel hammers hitting the exploding sparks. At this moment, countless weapons collided together, shields, vests, spears, imperial swords, accompanied by the scraping sound of twisted gold and iron,

The lightly armored Assault Imperial Cavalry followed closely behind. When they broke through the crowd, they immediately cut down the scattered Aden soldiers like a dividing line. Their heads rolled under the horses' hooves. The Aden soldiers behind had not yet done anything. Knowing what was going on, the huge impact of the imperial cavalry quickly trampled the people in front of them to the ground. The whole team of Aden infantry were like densely packed ducks, dumping to the ground with blood and rushing into the crowd. Black armored cavalry There were too many, and cold light fell from the head everywhere. An infantry captain raised his shield at a slightly higher angle, and the sharp imperial cavalry spear pierced the iron on his body, causing pain. uttered a cry and counted A cavalry spear followed his voice, and a bloody tip emerged from his weakly armored back. The infantry captain's eyes were dull and his body was knocked away by a war horse several meters away. The soldiers under his command were hit by a wave of black armored cavalry. Directly submerged

"Prepare for the second charge!"

What attacked the Aden army was two thousand imperial cavalry. Stephansos, the commander of the 11th Imperial Cavalry Flag Regiment, rushed through the crowd fifty meters later and turned his horse violently. The cavalry reorganized their team, and their backs began to be filled with strength. The two hundred heavily armored Imperial cavalry at the front were completely stained red with flesh and blood, and their horses' hooves were heavy. Stepping into the soft sand of the large oasis, there was a snapping sound. The long heavy cavalry spears were lined up side by side again and moved forward. The cold light was like snow. Following the shouts of Stephansos, the imperial heavy armored cavalry The queue began to leap forward again, and the torrent of iron armor was like the scythe of death, reaping the chaos of the Aden people.

The blood mist is no longer splashing out in clusters, but in clusters, spreading like a gush.
