Realm of Power

845 Greedy Snake (2)

"Kuhad! Are you sure that the Falcon Army went to Kuhad?" Stannis looked like a rabbit whose tail was stepped on, and his face became angry. "Kuhad City is just a small city on the coast, and its military value is far away." It’s not as important as Tiha. The Falcon Army didn’t even want Tiha, but went to a remote town dozens of miles away. The person who came to report must be a Falcon Army spy!”

"Yes, it's Mr. Bocadio of Kuhad! Your Excellency, you should still remember him. He is the biological father of the woman who married into the Bosidi family in Kyoto from the southern coast." Shi Cong responded with a hesitant look on his face.

"It's him!" Stannis was surprised and stunned. Not being from Kyoto, it's hard to know the importance of the Xing clan in the Bao Sidi family.

Seeing that the anger on Stanis's face disappeared, the servant continued, "He set out yesterday evening and rode horseback all night. He said that the besieging army had indeed raised the battle flag of the Falcon Dynasty. He also said that if he did not immediately If we rescue him, I’m afraid Kuhad won’t be able to hold on for long!”

"Are these falcon troops crazy? What are they doing in Kuhad, which is so stupid?" Stannis cursed angrily. According to conventional thinking, the falcon troops occupying Tiha should seize this favorable opportunity. They quickly went north to attack the important town of Gorath, but this falcon army seemed to have no interest. After looting, they just patted their butts and walked in without any deep intentions.

Could it be that we were not familiar with the route and ended up in Kuhad by accident? Stannis could only explain it with this idea,

"Sure enough, they are all unreasonable guys! Barbarians in the southwestern mountains!" Stannis cursed angrily, then waved his hands to the generals below and said, "Everyone, get ready. The report reporting the great victory has been If you hand it in, you have to go even if you don't want to go. Otherwise, if someone reports that the Falcon Army is still active along the coast, it will be a big trouble. Once the Ministry of Military Affairs investigates, you and I can't afford it!"

"Yes, sir!" the Nord generals replied in unison, and turned around to prepare. Stannis's 40,000-strong army left 5,000 men to garrison Tiha. The other armies went straight to Kuhad City, 60 miles away. After five After marching for more than an hour, Nord's crusade troops appeared extremely exhausted outside the small town of Kuhad in the afternoon.

This is a small city with a mountain on its back and the sea. The low city wall is nothing more than a fence made of earthen blocks. Except for a few passable buildings, the city is almost entirely covered with thatch.

Nord is not a country that pays attention to economic development. The economic center is also inland. Generally, coastal areas are mostly in dilapidated condition. Take the Kuhad City in front of you as an example. It is only about 3 square kilometers long and wide, and the total population is less than one person. Thousands of people, it is better to be called a larger town than a city. There are more than ten such cities along the coast of Nord.

Looking at the empty gate and the billowing smoke rising from the city, Stannis knew that he might be late again, and that all he could see in front of him was the burning ruins like Tiha.

Soon, the scouts who entered the city brought reports that the entire city had been completely looted. Judging from the fire, the Falcon Army had been away for more than 2 hours.

"Damn, what on earth do these guys want to do!"

Stannis punched the wooden pillar next to him in anger. In Kuhad City in front of him, only a few tiled houses made of stones were not pushed down. The other houses were either burned down or pushed down together with the walls.

The whole town was like a disgusting ruin. The Falcon Army robbed everything inside, and burned or smashed anything that could not be taken away. The ground was full of broken pieces. Then the soldiers who were searching the mountains outside the city, Found a group of refugees hiding in the mountains,

Based on the descriptions of these survivors, Stannis learned that before attacking the city, the other side gave the residents in the city a short period of time to retreat.

As long as they are not carrying valuables out of the city, the Falcon Army outside the city is not in trouble. The leader is actually a young girl in red. Her skin is a bit dark, but her calm and unhurried aura makes many people feel uncomfortable. It feels like a burning flame. Unfortunately, Stannis is an army general. If he is a navy, he may be aware of the identity of the other commander. The name of the red-clothed film is also very loud in the Nordic waters.

Only a dozen residents actually died in this war, and they all died due to pushing and squeezing each other during the panic retreat. It is now the cold winter, and watching these thousands of people rustling in the cold wind For the trembling citizens of Kuhad, Stanis could only express tactfully that he could only send a thousand soldiers to escort these refugees to safer areas.

Little did Stannis know, this was just the beginning of his nightmare,

Of course, as usual, the new performance report was sent to the Nord Army headquarters on the front line. At first, the Ministry of Military Affairs was proud of it and informed the entire army. After all, where the navy was defeated, it was the army that regained the lost ground, but as time went on As time went by, reports of 10,000 enemies, 13,000 enemies, and 15,000 enemies were defeated like snowflakes.

The Ministry of Military Affairs, which was responsible for recording military exploits, was also in a panic. Half a month later, if the records were correct, Stannis's army had defeated the 200,000-strong Falcon Army from the sea. However, as we all know, the main force of the Falcon Army was only about 15 people. So what are these 200,000 enemies? Fish in the sea?

In fact, even Dennis himself thought that the play could not continue. Every time he received a report and rushed over, the Falcon Army had already fled by boat.

In just half a month, 13 coastal cities of all sizes have been harassed by the Falcon Army. Nearly 200,000 refugees have flocked to the safe inland. 40,000 Nord troops have been running back and forth on the 230-mile coastline, exhausted. Often, just as they arrived at a reporting point, new reports of attacks came in.

The warships of the Falcon Army were like lingering ghosts lingering on the coast. Now Stannis realized that without control of the ocean, the long coastline was full of landing points for the Falcon Army. In order to prevent the Falcon Navy from landing at will, Dansness's troops finally had to be stationed separately. ,

Just like a snake shedding its skin, each attack reduced the number of Dansness, and the comparison of the numbers of the two armies was tilting unconsciously.

On the calm Nord, the sea breeze gently blew the black hair of a beautiful girl, the sky above her head was filled with silver stars, her small and perfect oval face, bright eyes, and her fairy-like posture in the moonlight,

A Hulun warrior with two scimitars on his back took a small wooden barrel from the foot of a black goshawk on his shoulder, looked at it, and hurried over.

"Miss, urgent news from home! The Sarand Navy has assembled and will arrive as reinforcements in three days!
