Realm of Power

There was faint thunder, and the rain stopped as the sky began to lighten.

Brother Shu was soaked all over and stood immediately on a mound. He stared at the land that was stretching away with a solemn expression. The mud was full of corpses of Aden soldiers. The incomplete star flag of Aden was trampled in the mud. The war horse that lost its owner lowered its head and pushed the body that had lost vital signs. The imperial eagle flag soaked by rain was like an iron rod. Standing like a giant, groups of imperial black-armored cavalry began to appear from the forests and jungles, quickly approaching the direction of the military flag. These were the best among the elite cavalry in the East Courtyard. Even after fighting all night, The armor and the underside of the horse's hooves were stained with bright red, and his expression was still serious. His body swayed slightly rhythmically as the horse advanced.

"Sir, there are fifteen squadrons in the whole army. Fifteen squadrons are sent out and fifteen squadrons are returned." After an imperial cavalry officer counted the flags of the gathered squadrons, he rode his horse to Brother Shu to report. Tens of thousands of Aden The cavalry was unexpectedly rolled back and attacked by less than half of the 5,000 imperial cavalry. This kind of thing No one would believe me if I told you. The black frenzy of the imperial cavalry finally retreated as the sky became brighter. They could no longer fight. After daybreak, the two sides could clearly see each other. The retreating Aden cavalry was assisted by the infantry group. Down, the rout has been stabilized, and any further pursuit will turn into a dogfight.

Although the Aden cavalry suffered overturning casualties, it was not enough to shake the foundation.

The number of the Aden army is still much higher than that of the imperial army. The strength ratio on the battlefield has just shaken, not a reversal.

another reason

It was because the heavy armored cavalry of the Aden people appeared out of nowhere and gave the Aden people time to prepare again. The combat effectiveness of this heavy armored cavalry was not very good. The reason why they encountered the imperial cavalry was because they were heavy and clumsy. During the retreat, they stepped into the quagmire and did not outrun the other fleeing companions. However, the heavy armor of the Aden heavy armored cavalry was blocked by The armor-piercing arrows of the imperial archers shot into hedgehogs, but after all, the distance was already the limit of the prairie bow. The specialty of the prairie bow was its speed, not its strong penetration. Even the heavy arrows only caused damage, not death. The Aden heavy armored cavalry looked like a rain of blood after being hit by arrows, and they were grinning in pain. It can be seen that it is not easy to cut off their heads.

When beheading the last heavy armored cavalry, more than an hour had been wasted, which was enough to give the fleeing Aden cavalry time to breathe.

Under the pale sky in the east, a mixed legion of Aden's infantry and cavalry can be seen. The dark infantry queue is like a forest with no end as far as the eye can see, and the rear troops are still pouring out in a steady stream. Some Aden officers wearing gorgeous armor were holding flags in front to guide the team. The two sides stared at each other at this moment, and the air was filled with a damp and bloody smell.

"Sir, will the Imperial Team rush over?"

An Aden general looked at the Imperial cavalry who looked like a black line opposite and asked with an ugly expression. Speaking of which, this was the first time they really saw what the Imperial cavalry looked like. These Imperial cavalry only wore simple light mail armor and carried slings on their waists. With quivers and bows and arrows in their hands, there was an indescribable wild aura all over their bodies. They were the ones who pounced on them like wolves in the night rain last night, killing the cavalry and running away in panic.

Sure enough, they are as barbaric as a pack of wolves. No wonder, during the battle last night, these infantry generals saw how the cavalry came back in a swarm. The cavalry generals who usually have their eyes high above their heads, After being chased like rabbits for half the night, the generals of Aden were feeling a little scared inside.

The morale of the cavalry is already in turmoil, and they may not be able to rely on them for a while. If the imperial cavalry really rushes up in a swarm, they may not be able to withstand it.

"The army has been fighting fiercely all night and is exhausted. Even if we fight, we can't fight now. The opponent is almost the same as us, and the opponent is more of a bluff!" Ramdorek's face was livid, and he snorted very angrily. The Imperial Cavalry will He would not charge forward, and he actually had no confidence in his heart. Although the Aden army had With a huge numerical advantage, but with a guilty conscience, the Aden army was caught off guard by the imperial cavalry's counterattack last night. Although the overall loss of the Aden army was only about three to four thousand cavalry, as the second largest army in Aden, The commander of the army, Ramdorek, looked at the statistical battle report with a look on his face that he wanted to be killed.

I really lost a lot this time!

Although I didn’t lose my pots and pans or destroy my capital in one battle, it’s not too different!

Ramdorek looked at the battle damage report in his hand, and his teeth were itching with hatred. He was full of confidence and prepared to annihilate the five thousand imperial cavalry in one battle, and then use the momentum of victory to drive into Bosad and fight with The Fourth Aden Army captured Persad together, but now they were severely beaten by the opponent. The knife in his hand clenched his heart, taking away a piece of flesh from the position he valued most. How could he not feel bad? The method for calculating battle losses in Aden is very simple. It is normal for one or two to be lost. If the entire team has If you get lost, what else can it be but death in battle! If he didn’t come back, he was basically killed in battle.

More than 3,400 Aden elite cavalry did not return, including the two most elite squadrons of the legion. They were specially selected by Ramdorek and were composed entirely of veterans. They are well-equipped and skilled in riding skills. , and after a long period of training and combat, this is also the biggest capital that Ramdorek has the confidence to compete with the imperial cavalry sweeping across the entire Obaro. It is because he has the strongest fighting will, the most skilled and best equestrian skills, so These Aden cavalry were able to bite the running imperial cavalry for twenty miles, so that when they suddenly faced the imperial cavalry's counterattack, they were the first to be attacked and did not even have a chance to retreat. The elite of these Aden cavalry were completely unavailable. He was shot to death by random arrows when he had a chance to show his strength, especially the three hundred Aden heavy armored cavalry of Samdeo who disappeared, which made the entire Second Army of Aden feel numb just thinking about it. If Master Samdeo fought If he dies, what can he do?

"Go down with the order, hold still, don't attack without orders!"

Ramdorek said the order speculating in his heart, with a bitter taste in his mouth. The Second Aden Army, which has 24,000 men, would be forced to take a defensive posture by 5,000 imperial cavalry. This kind of thing said It’s a joke when you go out. I didn’t expect the Imperial Army to be so powerful. It’s no wonder that Toblas, who has always been proud and arrogant, has an army of more than 100,000 in Aden, but he is actually being confronted by 20,000 Imperial Army in the small Bosa. Virtue! "The opposite side has withdrawn, my lord." The general next to him called out. The imperial cavalry on the opposite side seemed to feel that the Aden army here was completely invulnerable, and began to evacuate in an orderly manner. Under the horses' hooves, smoke filled the air.

"Where is that over there?" Ramdorek asked

"It's the Rasiel Time-consuming Mountains," the subordinate replied.

"Immediately send someone to look for traces of Lord Samdio's troops!" Ramdorek breathed a sigh of relief, hesitated with a slight frown on his brows, and then waved helplessly to the messenger cavalry behind him. "At the same time, he immediately Reporting to the royal capital, the intruding imperial cavalry was defeated step by step by our army, and was finally driven into the Lasheer Mountains by our army. The unrest is about to be brought under control. God bless me, Aden! "

"Sir, is this a report...?"

"I'm just reporting truthfully, is there any problem?" Ramdorek stood on his horse and snorted with cold eyes. He was still laughing at Toblas when he saw the Bosad battle report at the Ministry of Military Affairs. What a great achievement, the slogans were shouted loudly. When they entered the battlefield, they were the first to fight against the fifth scum. With five times the superior force, they couldn't even win a single Persad!

Now look at yourself, I'm not as good as Toblas

At least in terms of strategic situation, Tobras still holds the initiative on the battlefield in Persad. According to the report submitted by Toblas, the reason why the imperial army is allowed to survive in Persad is entirely to make Besad become the emperor. The tomb of the team, and the confrontation with Persad attracted the entire imperial team in the southern Gulf of Aden. , catch them all in one fell swoop, and solve all problems in one battle. There is absolutely no problem with this battle plan, and it can even be said to be a stroke of genius. Looking at my side, there is no comparison at all. The initiative on the battlefield still lies with the Imperial side. Tobras can at least say The emperor's main force was nailed to Persad. What should I say? Was the Imperial team counterattacked?

It is a fact that the Imperial Army retreated to the Rasir Time-consuming Mountains, and he has cut off the connection between the slave rebellion and the Imperial Army. What is wrong with such a report!

In the capital of Aden, in the dark night sky, red fireworks shot up into the sky, and then bloomed, reflecting the colorful lights all around.

The night wind is slightly cold,

Fireworks from Central Asia, the huge white and red light clusters are burning, dragging their long tails, blooming in the black void. Whenever one disappears in the night, a bigger and more dazzling light will appear. It will light up, and the twinkling stars will spread in all directions. The rehearsal for the celebration day of the King of Aden's promotion to the empire. Just the cost of these fireworks is a shocking figure, but all of this is just an insignificant number in front of the wealth plundered from Central Biya by the Kingdom of Aden.

Outside the window of Longines Palace in Aden, another huge red light lit up, illuminating the hall.

"This is the fourth attack on Persad. Hasn't Toblas made a breakthrough in Persad?" The stern face of the King of Aden stared out of the window, half-dark in the sudden flash of light,

"Toblas said that the fortress of Persad has been captured. Due to the heavy rain, the attack had to be temporarily stopped!" A slender middle-aged noble stood behind the King of Aden and handed over a letter with a respectful expression. A document marked top secret "This is the content of all relevant reports that have just been tallied, although the person from the south of Hérault The news coming sounds a bit whimsical, but the possibility is very high. "" Deliberately draining our troops from the royal capital area, and then directly attacking the royal capital with the usual navy, what are the chances of success? "The King of Aden frowned slightly. He jumped a little, turned around from the window with a stern expression, and opened the file expressionlessly. Even though he was mentally prepared, his pupils couldn't help but shrink when he saw the document.

"My subordinates believe that the probability of success is close to 90%, and judging from the situation, the empire has succeeded. Our army has been nailed to death on both the north and south fronts. Even the second remaining Aden The army was also sent to quell the rebellion. There were less than 10,000 troops in the entire Gulf of Aden. Although the military fleet has 140 ships available, there are less than 80 ships that can actually be used for combat." The middle-aged nobleman, the Minister of Military Affairs in Aden, looked extremely ugly. His voice paused before continuing, "And the main force of the Imperial Navy is said to have been More than two hundred ships gathered at the southern port of Aden!”

"Two hundred ships!" King Aden took a breath of air and laughed, "What a throat-sealing sword!"

Just ten days ago, the prince who was previously sent to the south of Hérault returned and brought back a member of the Hérault royal family, or more appropriately, the last member of the Hérault royal family. The Kingdom of Aden was promoted to the empire. At the ceremony, this member of the Hérault royal family will appear as the Hérault royal family. Although the Ayrault royal family is no longer in name only, it was once an imperial royal family and a mortal enemy of the Kingdom of Aden. It is also a very honorable thing to have this mortal enemy of Aden come to Aden to congratulate. Who cares whether the Luo royal family still has strength or not! It’s just that this member of the Aero royal family brought a top-secret message that shocked even the Aden Minister of Military Affairs.

The empire's goal in this battle is the Gulf of Aden. Whether it is fighting in the south of Aden or in the desert, there is only one purpose, which is to drain the Gulf of Aden area of ​​its troops as much as possible. The empire's real trump card is that it has been too late. Unmoved Imperial Navy The fleet, this brutal fleet that has bombarded the capitals of other countries many times, has powerful force enough to blast the entire King of Aden into the sky. On the day of the promotion ceremony in the King of Aden, the Imperial Navy will use thousands of thunder cannons to directly Wipe the capital of Aden off the map!

This is a plan that sounds like a fantasy, but as the King of Aden and the Minister of the Royal Affairs of Aden, he confirmed this possibility at the first time, because the situation has become more and more obvious, and the Imperial Navy If they really raided the Gulf of Aden at that time, Aden would be caught off guard and would be completely unable to react!

But now, it's different,

"It's a pity that no matter how good the plan is, it can't achieve the destiny. This is God blessing me, Aden!" The King of Aden looked deeply at the fireworks rising outside the window, his mouth trembled slightly, and said to his Minister of Military Affairs, "Gather all our forces Power, let the main force of the Imperial Navy sink in the beautiful Gulf of Aden. I want the vines to cover the wreckage of the Imperial Navy warships next summer!
