Realm of Power

"Edian Fink! Even you, the person I trust the most, want to disobey my king's order!"

Looking at this person who suddenly stood up to stop his order, the swollen and blood-red eyes of the King of Lod, Yagrork, opened angrily like light bulbs at this moment, pointing at his once loyal subordinates, and his whole body was full of anger. trembling,

"Your Majesty, now that the outcome has not yet been determined, retreating without authorization is tantamount to giving the backs and necks of tens of thousands of troops to the enemy!"

Former Minister of Military Affairs Edian Funk looked up with determination. Even in the face of Yagrolk's angry gaze, he still persisted because he knew that this was the last counterattack of the Kingdom of Lod. Once it failed, not only would it be a huge blow to the Lod army, This is a heavy blow to morale, and even the ruthless Kyoto will become in danger.

"You idiot," Yagorok yelled angrily, "Can you still see it? The opponent's cavalry came like a landslide and tsunami, and blocked our left wing, even at the most dangerous moment. The opponent's Chinese army showed no signs of turmoil,

His voice paused, and suddenly he raised his finger fiercely, pointed at the Falcon array in the distance, and said loudly, "What does this mean? The tactics of attracting the main force and flanking assault are so obvious,

If we don't withdraw now, once the opponent's cavalry completes the flanking attack, even if all my troops are killed, there will be no chance of withdrawing from this encirclement! You have to make the Vecian Falcons do the same thing as they did to the Redians. , are you going to stage another Battle of Staros against us on this grassy slope!"

"But Your Majesty, the other side has not invested much cavalry right now." Idian Funk's face was solemn. Facing Yagrolk's severe accusation, he still insisted on saying this without giving in. "Although the Falcon Cavalry is attacking, Violent, but judging from the situation of the battle just now, their number will never exceed 5,000. Therefore, although our left wing is in danger, it still persists and does not collapse!

Edian Funk paused and continued, "But if our army chooses to retreat in a panic before the battle has begun, the main force of the Falcon Army will definitely take the opportunity to press heavily, and not only the left wing will no longer be able to It is difficult to hold up, even our army's main formation will be scattered. They are cavalry and we are infantry.

Behind us is a flat area of ​​tens of miles. Do we want to dye this road red again with the blood and corpses of the Lod people? Rather than letting others slaughter us like this, it is better to fight hard with the elite Guards, even if they cannot be annihilated This assault cavalry unit can at least block the opponent's impact on our formation! "

"Are you kidding me? Using infantry to block cavalry, is this possible?" Yagrolk glared at him.

"My subordinates are willing to lead troops to stop the opponent's cavalry!" Edian Funk saw Yagrolk's movement and quickly knelt down on one knee in front of Yagrolk.

He put his hand on his right chest and said loudly, "As long as the impact of the opponent's cavalry is contained, even if the Falcon Army wants to make any move from the front, Your Majesty can calmly dispatch it! You can even use this buffer opportunity to dispatch your troops to defeat the incoming cavalry." The troops ate "

"What you said seems to make some sense!" Yagrolk pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword that represented the supreme royal power. A cold light flashed through his slightly narrowed eyes, and his eyes moved, appearing hesitant.

"Are you really willing to lead the army and personally stop the Falcon Guards?"

Yagrolk asked again, although since the moment he received the news that even close relatives like Crimson Suo might be spies of the Falcon Army, this generation of tycoon who has been in power for half his life is no longer willing to believe it. anyone,

"My subordinate is willing!" Idian Funk said with certainty.

"Okay! I will hand over the Imperial Guard to you! I hope you will not betray my trust!" Yagrolk made up his mind and said categorically. After all, he is also a hero who has been fighting for most of his life. Once he gets rid of The psychological burden immediately revealed the boldness and domineering nature of the Rude people.

This is a gamble, just like placing the breakthrough point of the counterattack on the exhausted Varisian Legion. From the beginning, this gamble has been an endless result, either defeating the Varisian Legion and unraveling the trap. Either the dead knot in Nord Kyoto will be defeated by Varisien, and everything will come to an end in a magnificent battle.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Idian Funk stood up from the ground with a proud attitude, and once again gave a military salute to Yagrork. "This subordinate is willing to fight to the death to find a chance of victory for me, Rode!"

After saying that, he immediately turned around and ran towards the left front of the formation. There was the formation of the five thousand Royal Guards of Luode. pillars made of bronze,

They were wearing double-layer chain armor with the most superior defensive performance in this era. Their weapons are all specially made, including heavy infantry shields and sharp long-handled battle axes that shine with cold light. They are just machines specially used for killing.

In the era when Ruidian dominated the continent, except for the Ruidian people, few other kingdoms had the opportunity to face the final arm of the Kingdom of Rode. Even the Ruidian people only had a few main knights. Dare to contend with this 5,000-strong imperial guard. These soldiers are outstanding talents selected through traditional martial arts in the capital of Luode for hundreds of years.

They have received strict military training since they were five years old, and passed the warrior qualification examination at the age of twelve. Each soldier is a third-level skilled warrior or above. There is a 1,500-man assault force, which is composed of first-level senior soldiers. composition,

The only good thing is that the excessive requirements have resulted in a small number of these soldiers, and the main task of this unit is to defend King Rode, and there are not many opportunities to participate in border wars.

"Prætorians follow me to the left wing!"

Idian Funk raised the long sword in his hand and shouted, riding a galloping horse, he galloped past the standing guard column like lightning,

He was dismissed from the post of Minister of Military Affairs because he interceded with Salton, and then served as the commander of the Nord royal army. This is an honor that is not inferior to that of Minister of Military Affairs, but one is a soldier, and one is a military minister. It's for a warrior!

"Turn!" The neat queue turned according to the command, like a group of beasts about to be released from their cages.

These heavily armored super infantrymen quickly advanced towards the left wing. The huge shields in their hands formed a thick shield wall like magic, which just blocked the gap where the left wing was about to collapse.

"kill!"

The Falcon Guards cavalry who rushed into the enemy group were still unaware of the danger coming from behind.

They chased the scattered Rode soldiers, slashed at the Rode army with their swords, stepped on the enemy with heavy horse hooves, and let the enemy's blood spurt onto their armor. A group of cavalry rushed over, and another A group of cavalry rushed over and strangled them back and forth. The corpses fell like pieces of chopped wheat straw.

These Guards Cavalry are different from other light cavalry when charging. Their roars sounded like they were in the joy of hunting, and with a breath of madness, they used the lances of the quasi-lancers to tear through the enemy's flank array, and pierced anything in front of them with their lances. The timing of this attack was perfectly chosen. Very good,

The collision between the two ace troops first started at a small mound on the right side of the left wing. A group of about a hundred Falcon Guards Cavalry happened to take a fancy to the terrain there. If they rushed up and down, they would be able to perform better. The advantage of the impact completely broke through the last line of defense, but the most important thing was that the battle flag of the Nord First Army was right there.

"Charge up and cut it off!" The Falcon Guards Cavalry Squadron found the target and waved their sabers with excitement. Along the way, they kept splitting open the Rode infantry who tried to block them.

After several hours of extreme fighting, the Nord First Army had fallen to the bottom line in terms of both morale and physical strength. Although the Falcon Cavalry's intentions were discovered, the hastily formed defense line was unable to stop the ground guard cavalry. The attack surface is as sharp as a cluster of arrows,

For those exhausted Nord infantry, the Falcon Cavalry troops' impact tactics of strangulating back and forth were like a sharp sword raised high, drawing a large arc on the left wing of the battle line, and finally rushed into a field of tumbling heads and wheat. in the ground.

And then, the streamlined and slightly curved swords above their heads continued to cut off their heads like wheat. Cut off their limbs, slash their bellies, and let their intestines flow out...

The Falcon Cavalry attacked from the left and right, cutting into pieces any obstacle like scissors. The First Legion, which had been unable to support itself, was attacked from both sides, and finally collapsed completely. In front of the thunderous Guards Cavalry, The elite soldiers known as the First Army also screamed and fled in all directions from the surging cavalry tide.

"Glory belongs to the Falcon!" The Falcon Guardsman who was running at the front raised his sword and slashed at the flagpole less than one meter away from him. At that moment, he seemed to see the Nord's flag. Like autumn leaves blown by the wind and falling from the flagpole,

With a bang, the imaginary battle flag falling did not appear, but the surprised face of the Falcon Guards Cavalry flying out of the horse with the sword raised, and the Nord battle axes flying from the horse team. The flanks of the Guardsmen rained down,

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The mounted Guards cavalry were like reeds blown by the wind, and were thrown away by the heavy tomahawk weighing dozens of kilograms.

Even if it's a battle wearing a vest

It was unable to withstand the flying shot of the heavy battle axe. With a shrill scream, the horse's hoof tilted and threw the Guards Cavalry above heavily.

"Attention!, pay attention to the side!" The Guards Cavalry turned around one after another. To his side, a group of heavily armored Nord Guards grinned confidently, and their ferocious faces were chilling. In their view, the steady stream of Falcon Guardsmen charging towards them were like moths swooping up to die.
