Realm of Power

The wind blowing against my face, sweeping across the sky

"Woooo

Wuwuwuwu!" The long horn sound echoed outside the cloud city that was several miles wide. Everyone looked nervously into the distance. Of course, they saw nothing except the white horizon.

The beast tide is approaching! The heart-rending shouts of the sentinel cavalry came like needles in the wind. At first, the tribal leaders in Yunzhong City were quite disapproving. Everyone just listened to it as a joke, and both the speaker and the listeners were laughing. "How can there be a tide of beasts in this world? There haven't been large-scale beast herds in the Tianmiao area for decades. It's just the small tribes in the fringe areas who are blind." There have been so many boos and shouts that now people are panicking. The weather this winter is abnormal. The cold winter days are supposed to be cold, but the climate in the Tianmiao area has never been normal.

It is not cold in winter and not hot in summer. It has been regarded as a special feature of the Tianmiao area. However, the weather at this moment is indeed making people feel uneasy. Just a moment ago, the golden sunset was shining above the head, making people feel that the sunset is infinitely good. In the blink of an eye, the sky has changed. Suddenly dark clouds came over and the sky darkened. The wind blew, one after another, and it was freezing. Most of the soldiers were still wearing winter uniforms, and they were shivering from the cold. "Steady, don't mess up!"

"Don't be afraid, everything is under control!"

There was a mess of sounds. The tribal leaders gathered together and looked at the black clouds in the sky with complicated eyes. They said they were strong, but their hearts were numb. What is going on? Even in the Tianmiao area, they are used to winter. They had never seen such a doomsday-like scene during a thunderstorm. The wind blew stronger and stronger, and soon the strong wind turned into a violent wind. The Tianmiao area of ​​​​the vast plain has begun to fly sand and rocks, and the wind is rolling in black clouds. The clouds are so dark that they are as low as the top of people's heads. Amidst the roaring wind, inexplicable white lights flash across the sky from time to time. They are dazzling. The wind is so strong that it will The rangers who were investigating the situation outside were all driven back, and the guards on the outside guard tower had to hide under the curtain wall to avoid the wind.

"Watch out, watch out in the air"

"Wow!" A strange sound came with the wind,

There was a dull echo from the distant east. It was unknown whether it was thunder or something else. The sound became louder and louder, as if a huge beast from the wild was roaring and roaring over there. All the tribes in Yunzhong City looked at each other in shock. The sky turned dim at this moment, hanging faintly in the sky, like the moon. Everyone watched this spectacle and marveled.

"Attention, it's coming!"

"Everyone is ready!" In an instant, shouts came one after another, and countless black spots appeared in the sky. Birds were overwhelming, including geese, sparrows, mountain doves... countless well-known and unknown birds flew over everyone in one group after another. However, everyone was dazzled when they saw it. Next, the bells of the sentry tower rang intensively, and everyone saw a spectacular scene. They saw many animals running from the east and heading to the west. The animals were running around in darkness, as if they were being chased by something. The tribal leaders actually saw a herd of deer and a pack of wolves mixed together. Running, it was a wonder that neither side made any mistakes. The face of an older tribal leader suddenly turned pale, which was a sign of impending disaster. "Pop!" A flagpole was even broken by the strong wind and flew into the distance.

"Everyone, don't mess up. We have the protection of Tianmiao, and everything will be fine!"

The tribal leaders who were cheering for their own clansmen were all startled. Seeing the visions of heaven and earth coming one after another, everyone felt a little uneasy inside. They all had stiff faces and the atmosphere was depressing. At this time, the lightning in the sky became more frequent. The sun was setting in the sky, but the sun was dim. The sky was as dark as if it had been dyed with ink. The wind blowing against my face was full of the stench of wild beasts. The flag was blown precariously by the strong wind, and it looked like it might be blown off at any time. Everyone stared at the big heraldic flag of the Tianmiao Temple swaying in the wind. There was an ominous premonition in my heart. Why hasn’t the high priest of Tian Temple come yet? As the guardian of the Tianmiao and the most prestigious person in the Tianmiao area, the high priest of the Tianmiao rarely leaves Yunzhong City, but he is the spiritual leader of each tribe.

"Sir, please spare all the guards. Will the high priest blame us for this..." A Yunzhong City noble was riding on a horse with an ugly face and hesitated to speak. In front of him was the entire resistance force. The backbone consists of 2,700 regular troops from Yunzhong City, including 1,800 armored infantry and 900 cavalry. Although the equipment cannot be said to be elite. , but compared to the tribal warriors who were still wearing animal skins, these soldiers in Yunzhong City had completely realized the armor transformation. The Kentam Royal Caravan sold a total of eight hundred pairs of mail armor and armor to the Tamasu family at one time. The imperial standard weapons suddenly raised the Tamasu family's military strength by two levels, which also made the nobles in Yunzhong City have red eyes.

"What does it mean that the high priest hasn't come for a long time?"

"We have done our best for Tianmiao, but at the critical moment, Tianmiao just looked on with cold eyes. It is really chilling." Some nobles in Yunzhong City complained in conflicting voices. The high priest of Tianmiao did not show up. Sure enough, It makes people's hearts fluctuate. The stern face of Marquis Tamasu There was no fluctuation at all, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. As expected, the Red Dragon Palace attracted some of the nobles in the city, and started to build momentum while the beast tide was approaching. If the news of the death of the great priest of the Tianmiao finally came, these nobles would take advantage of the momentum. Get up and push Lina Muya onto the throne of the high priest of Xintian Temple

Because of the lack of female swordsmen, the Tamasu family, as city managers, has been the head of the secular aristocracy of Yunzhong City for generations. Tamasu Shilin is the deputy leader of the female knights of the Temple of Heaven, and is also the most promising to become a female swordsman. One of the candidates, and this transaction with the Kentam family also expresses the new royal family's recognition of the Tamasu family's management status in the Tianmiao area. Some of the nobles in the city who have been suppressed by the Tamasu family for a long time Finally decided to invest in the Red Dragon Palace

It's just that these clamoring nobles don't know that they have completely misunderstood the weight of their opponents. What they are facing is not the distant alliance between the Kentam family and the Tamasu family, but the imperial emperor and the Tamasu family. Su family

These idiots! The Marquis of Tamasu looked on with cold eyes, watching their performances with various faces as if they were watching a sideshow. Seeing that the leader, the Marquis of Tamasu, was unmoved, the nobles gathered around them one after another.

"Sir, what exactly does Tianmiao mean?"

"Even if we send the knights, there are actually only more than a hundred people, what effect can they have?" A middle-aged noble with flaxen hair said with a dissatisfied look. After hearing his words, other nobles also showed dissatisfaction on their faces. , seeing this scene, the middle-aged nobleman showed a look of joy on his face. At this moment, as long as he firmly grasped that the high priest of the Tianmiao did not come here, If you don't let go at all, the nobles will be dissatisfied with the Tianmiao. As one of the representatives of the Tianmiao, the Tamasu family will definitely be affected. Yunzhong City will have a new high priest, so naturally it will To replace a new secular representative, the new era requires new faces. The Tamasu family is obviously not suitable. Some mature and prudent nobles chose to remain silent.

The storm is coming!

Compared with the approaching beast tide, the biggest crisis in Yunzhong City is the human heart and the Temple of Heaven! Use the approaching beast tide to target Tianmiao! There was tension in the atmosphere, and there were loud crusade against the Temple of Heaven. The Temple of Heaven, known as the Holy Land, was suddenly pushed to the forefront. This is the rhythm of someone trying to cause trouble. Some nobles have already felt that something is wrong.

"We are the nobles of Yunzhong City. We are not a tribe that can be abandoned by the Temple of Heaven at will. If the high priest of the Temple of Heaven does not show up, we will go back to Yunzhong City!..." The middle-aged noble looked at it and retreated. The nobles behind the scenes deliberately pretended to look sad and angry.

Marquis Tamasu slightly tightened his grip on the reins. He did not expect that the emperor would come in person this time. Faced with the increasingly clear situation in front of him, Marquis Tamasu was extremely glad that he chose to surrender. The real outbreak was indeed in Cloud City! If this king hadn't already taken control of everything, the Tamasu family would not have been able to escape the catastrophe in Yunzhong City, and he would never have had such a calm mind to view the current situation.

The overall situation has long been in the hands of the emperor.

The famous imperial general Varisien personally led 20,000 imperial cavalry into the Heavenly Temple. This alone was not something that a mere Heavenly Temple could stop.

As for the beasts, the biggest trump card that the Red Dragon Palace thinks it has is actually a joke. In front of the imperial cavalry sweeping the world, what does a mere tens of thousands of beasts mean? And these so-called nobles are just like candlelight in the strong wind. Seeing his solemn look, a Yunzhong City nobleman next to him pretended to comfort him and said, "Lord Tamasu, don't worry too much. I believe this is just an abnormal weather, sudden darkness, and the approaching heavy rain, which caused the beast tide." Because of his panic, he desperately approached Yunzhong City. As long as the weather improves, the beast tide will change its direction! It's just that the high priest of the Tianmiao has no regard for the life and death of the tribe and everyone. This is really chilling! Think about how loyal we have been to the Tianmiao for so many years. I thought that today would end like this."

"We just made the right decision. I believe that the high priest will also do his best for the safety of Yunzhong City. If we ourselves are shaken, how can we talk about defending Yunzhong City!" Marquis Tamasu Standing on the horse, he looked calmly at the dark cloud-covered sky in the distance, and said in a deep voice with an extremely determined expression, as if he didn't notice anything unusual,

"Sir, the beast herd has approached Yunzhong City ten miles away." A black armored cavalry galloped from a distance.

"Send the order, the whole army will stop temporarily"

Looking away from the long and narrow outline of Yunzhong City, which stood like a tower rising from the ground in the distance, Imperial General Varisien, who was wearing black armor and riding on a war horse, raised his hand behind him, and there was a long, low sound. The sound of the horn seemed to carry a sense of wildness and sadness from the grassland, and the herd of animals, numbering fifty to sixty thousand, moved towards Yunzhong City like a tide.

To the east is a stretch of rolling mountains, above which is a dark jungle, dyed gray by the sky.

And two miles away behind the black tide of the beasts, the hooves of 20,000 imperial armored cavalry were like a huge long line, with layers of stragglers advancing in a hashing manner!

The officers of each team worked hard to maintain the formation. The mail armor on the countless cavalry reflected the cold light. From a distance, they could see the momentum flowing like water. Each team maintained a distance of about 20 meters, and the horses were majestic. , the cavalry above held bows in their hands and quivers on their waists. Countless heavy horses' hooves were lifted up and stepped down intensively, and the tumblers were filled with smoke.

The trumpeter who was immediately at the first position on the left side of the queue raised his horn bugle and blew the horns vigorously. The imperial cavalry queue, like a rushing river, began to slowly stop.
