Realm of Power

In the capital of Harvey, the black smoke of war filled the sky

Prince von Muerjie, a famous Ikal general, personally led the main force of 50,000 Ikal troops to raid the capital of Harvey, within a hundred meters of the east and south gates. It had become hell. Various catapults mounted on the towers swept out one after another, covering the sky and the sun, and turning a layer of blood in the Ikal army's attacking troops. In this terrible metal storm, the flesh and blood bodies were as fragile as paper paste. The soldiers who were hit didn't even have time to shout for help, and were instantly crushed to pieces

"Give the order, the whole army moves forward, and must use the advantage of troops to quickly tear open the city wall defense line, and those who retreat will be killed!"

Prince von Muerjie personally supervised the battle, his eyes just staring at the rows of Ikal troops that were advancing like a tide. The army was like a tide, the military flags were rolling, and dozens of square formations were iron armored. This battle on the Harvey Plateau, which had lasted for more than a month, shook the entire Obaro in a short time. The Ikars, who had always been regarded as vassals of the Harveys, suddenly launched an all-out attack on the Harvey Kingdom. On the plateau, there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood. For the Ikars, this was a revenge war that had been planned for decades, destined to change the ruling power of the Harvey Plateau. For the Harveys, this war was extremely unfavorable from the beginning. Many forces of Obaro watched coldly and moved in hiding. The Harveys fought desperately to resist the waves that came one after another. The messenger came from the front line with a fast horse, bringing a message "Your Highness, the city wall has been torn open, but the legion has suffered too many casualties. The Fourth Army requests a temporary withdrawal!" "No!" Prince von Muerjie looked grim and said firmly, "The attacking troops must continue to advance, even if they fight to the last soldier! If the Fourth Army If you dare to take a step back, let Silias come to see me with your head!" Prince von Muerjie, who was usually gentle and polite, was even more ruthless at this moment. Silias of the Fourth Legion was a close friend of Prince von Muerjie. Prince von Muerjie turned around like a whirlwind, his eyes shining brightly. "Everyone, I, Ikar, have declared war on Harvey. This is the time when our army is closest to victory. We will take down the capital of Harvey in one go. Harvey Plateau is the Ikar people's words! "

"Yes, I understand!" The eyes of the generals of the Ikar Army were red, and a thunderous response came from the dark army formation, "Long live Ikar!"

"Seventh Army, attack the south wall fiercely!"

Prince von Muerjie raised his hand, and with the order, the main force of the 8,000 Ikar Seventh Army came out in full force, pouring in from the gap in the city wall like a tide, and in a panic. The defenders only had time to quickly mobilize hundreds of archers to snipe at the gap. However, thousands of Ikal's Seventh Army's death squads rushed forward with shields, braving the rain of arrows, climbing the gaps in the city wall, stepping on large pieces of rubble and bricks, and finally rushed into the city, fighting with a group of armed personnel dressed as citizens. On the east wing of the battlefield, it was already a close combat. A team of private soldiers of the Harvi nobles in the city desperately resisted the fierce attack of the Ikal army. The combat power of these nearly 2,000 noble private soldiers was amazing, but after all, they were put together temporarily, and the command was messy. The weapons were also different, some were armor and mail, and some were hard leather robes. Arrows were hung on the armor, the iron faces were ferocious, and the sharp blades flashed with cold light. Still without slowing down, they slammed into the influx of Ikal's army, with the sound of people shouting and horses neighing, and screaming. The sound of flesh being knocked away, and the sound of hacking and killing.

It broke out during the collision between the two armies. More than a hundred Harvey swordsmen wearing heavy armor tore through the heavy array like a sharp sword, killing Ikar and cutting them down row by row. It was like a tiger among a flock of sheep. The Ikar generals had to look at it sideways.

Prince von Muerjie's bloodshot eyes narrowed into a line, and he snorted heavily at the wings of his nose. "I didn't expect that the Harvey royal family would even send out the Harvey royal swordsmen. The Harvey royal family is already at the end of the road!"

"Harvey royal swordsmen!" Hearing Prince von Muerjie's words, the other Ikar generals changed their faces and looked The muscles on his body could not help but twitch. The strength of more than a hundred people was just a wave in the sea in the fierce attack of tens of thousands of people. However, this assault team of hundreds of people was like a strong stone, tearing apart the tidal attack of the Ikar people.

It is said that every swordsman of the Harvey Royal Family is at the level of a half-sword saint. They are teachers of the Harvey Swordsman Academy. In terms of force alone, no one on the entire Harvey Plateau can stop them. Harvey gathered these people into an assault force. When the lonely city was surrounded, they suddenly rushed out. Once they launched an attack, it was a fight to the death. His subordinates had no power to fight back in front of them. These hundreds of ferocious iron faces, turning the sharp blades, those brave warriors who rolled up the bloody rain. Countless Ikar children wailed and screamed under their two-handed heavy swords, and were chopped down and stabbed one after another. The continuous splashing turned the dry battlefield into a bloody mud in an instant. It even directly caused turmoil on the surrounding battlefields.

"Long live! Long live Harvey!" Seeing how powerful the swordsmen were, the soldiers of the Harvey Army cheered loudly.

"Cavalry, get ready!"

Prince von Muerjie showed a grim smile and raised his right hand wrapped in armor.

The dedication of the swordsmen of the Harvey family was enough to show that the defense force of the Harvey capital had reached its limit. At this moment, as long as the elite Harvey was completely wiped out, it would deal a heavy blow to the morale of the Harvey defenders. This was God's blessing. In the final battle for the Ikars to change their own destiny, the Harveys made one mistake after another. The prophecy was true. The Ikars were not limited to struggling forever on the vast and barren grasslands plagued by wolves. The Ikars could also become the masters of the Harvey Plateau.

Although the Harvey Royal Swordsmen are fierce, how could the Ikal Army, which has been a long-term auxiliary, be unprepared? Everyone of the Harvey Royal Swordsmen is a master of swords, but they also have a huge shortcoming, that is, the armor is too It is heavy and affects mobility, and the Harvey Swordsman is the pinnacle of the infantry. It can even compete with the notorious Imperial heavy armored infantry. Now is the time to defeat the myth in their hearts in front of all the Harvey people! Ikar wants to use the blood of these Harvey elites to destroy the resistance of the Harvey people.

Facing the enemy head-on, Ikar naturally cannot find anyone who can defeat the Harvey royal swordsman, but this is a battlefield. The most popular rule on the battlefield is that you can do anything for victory. The Harvey sword in heavy armor Soldiers are killing machines, but killing machines are also people, and human physical strength It was limited. After seeing Prince von Muerger's order, the armored Ikar cavalry neatly climbed onto their horses without saying a word. The horses' hooves stepped forward heavily, and a four-meter-long lance began to penetrate the wall. Laying flat, the war horse appeared in front of the Ikar army's main formation like a wall, standing high in Linxia,

"Cavalry, charge"

Amid the shouts, the Ikar cavalry urged their horses to advance rapidly. Nearly a thousand Ikar cavalry roared like wolves and eagles, and surged forward. Strictly speaking, the Ikar cavalry is not a real main battle cavalry. In previous battles, the Ikar cavalry was more responsible for reconnaissance and harassment tasks. Even on the battlefield, it was only used as flank harassment. This time von Muerger All the cavalry in the prince's generals gathered together to make It was already a breakthrough attempt by the Ikar cavalry, but the effect was just as expected by Prince von Muerger. It was a bit terrible. It was not at all like the powerful charge of the imperial cavalry that was rumored to sweep across the continent. It was more like A swarm of stragglers rushed forward,

In the past, Ikar cavalry operations were based on squadrons, with a squadron of two hundred Ikar cavalry. This time, nearly eight and a half squadrons were mobilized. The number is there, but the real actual combat is another matter. Feng Prince Muirjie did not expect the cavalry to trample these Harvey royal swordsmen to death, but holding back the Harvey royal swordsmen group was not a problem.

"Kill!" The Ikal cavalry and the Harvey royal swordsmen collided fiercely.

The weapons flew, blood spattered, and the horses neighed miserably. The sparks that were splashed by the swords on the armor of both sides danced in the thick yellow dust and smoke splashed by the horses' hooves. The ferocity of the collision is shocking! The Harvey royal swordsman roared again and again. Fighting with all their strength, facing the oncoming cavalry, some simply dropped their swords, protected by the cavalry shield tied to their left arm, and fought to the death with their right hand wielding the sharp long sword forged from Ikar's black iron. Ikar black iron sword. It was originally forged from the best steel in the Ikar Mountains. The hilt of the sword is extremely long, and the brass sword melon is balanced with a weight. The spine of the sword is thick, and it is only edged on one side. It is more like a thick long knife. When swinging, it can be rotated smoothly to slash. In addition, the sword is extremely sharp. As long as the blade hits the person's armor, if the armor is flat, blood will burst out!

Most of the Ikar cavalry were light cavalry, and they attacked randomly under the two-handed sword dance of the Harvey swordsman. The war horses made fierce roars. The Harvey swordsmen were back to back, automatically forming a circle. These scarred warriors did not care about their injuries and fatigue. They were also desperately swinging their swords at the oncoming Ikar cavalry, or using their long swords to cut off the legs of the Ikar cavalry. To this extent, it was almost impossible to escape unscathed. Many Harvey swords The knights cooperated with each other, one stepped on the back of the other, getting taller and more angry, struck horizontally with his left hand, and the cavalry shield slammed into the face of the Ikar cavalry. The force was so strong that the scarred cavalry shield suddenly fell into pieces. But the Ikal cavalry was also knocked off their horses, screaming and falling to the bloody earth.

Although it was only a short encounter, it was extremely shocking news to both warring parties. A rapid horn sounded from the top of the city, which was an order for the royal swordsmen to retreat. On the Ikar side, the flag was waved urgently. Circles of Ikar infantry groups rushed towards the center of the battle. Prince von Muerger Make it clear that this royal elite must be completely left on the battlefield. The posture on the battlefield finally caused Harvey to tilt the center of gravity of the battlefield to this side. Harvey's army's rescue team rushed towards the crowd desperately, and all the trapped Harvey royal swordsmen were covered in blood and sweat. , the whole body was wet with sweat, and the chest and abdomen were heaving violently. But the formation change was still completed quickly. This iron current began to surge again.

In this world, it’s not just the Empire’s heavy armor that can last for more than two hours in a battle. The Harvey swordsmen are also the pinnacle of land combat arms. The Ikar army clearly has an absolute advantage, but they are stunned by the numbers of less than 10,000. Harvey's defenders held him back for most of the day.

"Your Highness, the north has broken through."

The messenger cavalry flew quickly. Prince von Muerger's expression perked up and he looked to the north. He saw the red triangular flag representing the Ikar Army dancing on the north wall. A general said with great energy, "Our army has occupied the area." Advantage, as long as we put a little more pressure on the defenders, they will collapse! I think..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the commander of the 11th Army, Essent. Luo had already stood up and said

"Your Highness, all the armies are exhausted. Only our Eleventh Army is recharging its strength. Please let us, the Eleventh Army, show its strength."

"Asshole, this guy clearly wants to go in and steal the victory when he sees the city is about to be destroyed!" Someone inside the general cursed in a low voice,

Prince von Muerger stared at Escentello's face for a few seconds before nodding and saying, "Okay, although the Harveys have destroyed the city, we don't know what the situation is inside the city. I really need a powerful force to help." The army is overcoming obstacles." His meaning is very obvious, that is, to tell Escentro that it is one thing to attack the outer city, but to actually enter the city is another thing, and to remind the other party that they need to be cautious.

"For the glory of Ikar, I will never hesitate to die!" Escentro put his right hand on his chest and said impassionedly. I turned around and got off the command podium, and then I heard his voice shouting, "Eleventh Army, all troops advance, capture the capital of Harvey!"

"Son of a bitch!" Someone on the podium cursed, "This old fox knows how to take advantage!"

The sun was completely dark. The Eleventh Army entered the city and Harvey's defenders had to mobilize their forces to come back for reinforcements. Prince von Muerger gathered his forces to attack from both sides. Looking from the top of the city, a group of bright torches continued to flash. They flocked to the urban area of ​​King Harvey, filling the mountains and plains. Endless, like a tsunami roaring, the attacking troops keep coming up. The city wall has been shattered by falling rocks, and there are more and more gaps. Fierce battles took place at each gap. The defenders could not care about the east but not the south. The Ikal army advanced step by step, and more and more sections of the city wall were broken. The Ikars were overwhelmed and the fighting continued until eleven o'clock in the evening. All the walls of the capital of Harvey fell into the hands of the Ikar army.

"The capital of Harvey is right in front of me."

Prince von Muerger climbed onto the broken city wall and looked at the Harvey capital in the darkness. For a moment, he even had the illusion that what he saw in front of him was not the capital of the Harvey people, but his hometown of Tiemulin. , it was a dark and primitive place , the dusky castle stands majestically and independently. Thousands of years old trees stretch across the surrounding three acres, exuding the smell of moisture and decay. The forest consists of sentinel trees covered with gray and green pine needles, sturdy oak trees, and trees as old as the ancient poems of the Ikar people. Made of iron trees. There, thick and thick black tree trunks crowded together, twisted branches weaved a dense towering treetop overhead, and deformed and twisted roots struggled with each other underground. Everything is fine, but it is not suitable for people to live in for a long time.

At this moment, they finally created a suitable living environment for future generations.

Prince von Muerger excitedly faced the army commanders, with tears in his eyes, "This is a great day. We, the Ikars, finally no longer need to be inferior to others. We use our swords to win the cultivated land for our plows, and for Our people provide daily food, and our descendants will no longer be trapped in that barren land. They will be able to live in sunshine, flowers and smiles. For this, the sacrifices we make today are worth it! "Future generations will be forever grateful to us!" "Long live Ikar!" The shouts one after another, the countless bloody swords and guns, think of the battles and killings along the way, and the countless fallen comrades and soldiers. Beloved, even the Ikar generals who had their own thoughts couldn't help but burst into tears, raised their swords and shouted, "Long live Ikar, long live my king, long live victory!" Today, the Ikar people are finally qualified to stand among the powerful Barro countries in southern Europe. List!
