Realm of Power

The sun sets in the west, and in the evening in the southern mountains, when the sunset glow in the sky fades, the sky and the earth turn into light blue, and the mountains in the distance can only see a distant and winding white line, but the sunset can no longer shine. On the low slope, the screams of the two armies fighting and the clanging sounds of iron tools began to gradually subside.

"Order, the entire army withdraws into the woods." In order to avoid falling into the trap of the German army due to darkness, Ruander, who led the attack, could only order the cavalry to postpone the attack. The Falcon Cavalry followed their respective squadrons and marched along the forest to the hinterland of the forest. After retreating, the Nords did not dare to pursue them into the depths of the forest. The ambush tactics of the Falcon Army had already frightened the Nords.

The two armies just looked at each other, and finally their sight of each other was blocked by the trees in the forest.

"It's finally calmed down!" Ruande breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the last cavalry returning safely. The fierce battle just now had left both sides exhausted to the extreme.

The consequence of doing whatever it takes is that both sides paid a tragic and unimaginable price in just 2 hours of fierce confrontation. Tens of thousands of corpses covered the edge of the forest, the earth was soaked in blood, and the howling night The wind blew ruthlessly through the branches, and only the sunset glow in the sky, which had not completely retreated, seemed to still be remembering the last trace of the day.

"Everyone wear armor and rest!"

Even as they watched the reinforcements of the Falcon Army go away, the German army did not dare to relax their vigilance. The impact of the Second Guards Cavalry reduced the pressure on the Varisian Army a lot, and the dark night covered up the color of the earth. , the Nord's offensive also slowed down a lot, and the Varisian Legion finally took some time to rest.

Varisien quickly sent people to drag the injured soldiers back from the battlefield. The legion of more than 60,000 people was now fighting less than 20,000 people. This was the most brutal and tragic battle he had ever experienced. In the battle, two-thirds of the battle losses were a heavy blow to Varisien, who had always been in glory. He even painfully blamed himself. If it weren't for his own light troops, these 40,000 outstanding soldiers who followed him I won't end up like this,

When the last ray of sunset disappeared behind the ridge, the sky completely darkened. Deep in the forest, the commander of the 2nd Guards Cavalry Banner, Rui Ande, leaned against a brown tree trunk. The number of people counted made Rui Ande this long. The commander of the Falcon Central Army Flag Corps, who had experienced the battle, also took a deep breath of air-conditioning.

"3,000 people died in the battle and 1,400 were injured. Are you sure this is the number?" Ruian De stood up from the ground and asked the adjutant who came to report the battle damage with a livid face. After receiving a positive answer, his bloodshot eyes He closed his eyes deeply, with a look of regret on his face,

The 3,000 elite cavalry were gone, and the more than 1,000 injured could no longer continue fighting.

However, in just 2 hours of fighting, half of his flag regiment was lost. Such battle losses were simply unbelievable. This was partly because the order was issued to charge at all costs, and partly because the opponent's resistance was too stubborn. Using infantry against cavalry, although the opponent formed a spear to block the cavalry, their losses would definitely be more than twice as much as yours.

However, the opponent was not defeated. Within 2 hours of the fierce battle, his 10,000 Falcon Cavalry defeated the German army's queue three times. However, the opponent's tenacity was like a net. One layer collapsed, and the other layer collapsed. Pressed up again. In the past battles, I have never encountered such entangled troops.

"Damn, what kind of enemies are the other parties!"

Ruande licked his dry and hot lips, which seemed to still smell of the enemy's blood. He didn't know that the Nord Kyoto Third Army he faced was an army composed of Kyoto's lower nobles. Although the number was not large, But they should all be die-hard loyalists to the royal family, so they have a strong will to fight.

Because the sky was getting dark, in order not to give the Varisian Army a chance to breathe, the German army lit up torches all over the mountains and fields in preparation for an overnight attack.

Through the dense forest, he could vaguely see the direction of the light, like a layer of stars covering the mountains. Ruande knew that his situation was very difficult. The Varisian Army, surrounded by German troops, was afraid that the pressure would be even greater.

Tonight will be a life and death battle for the Varisian Legion! Reande sighed, turned around and asked, "Has the situation been reported to Your Majesty? Without reinforcements, we can only sit back and watch the entire Varisian Legion." Overturned"

The adjutant replied, "Yes, it was sent out using carrier pigeons 2 hours ago, but His Majesty's main force may not be that fast. Judging from the time, Rilangkudi's 3rd Guards Infantry Flag Regiment should be there." It should be near us, but for some reason, the Rilangkudi Flag Regiment seems to have disappeared. Are they lost?"

"Lost? How is that possible!"

Ruande shook his head solemnly and said slowly, "Rilangkudi is a Kugit Ranger. He is the best at tracking and his nose is as sensitive as a dog. Otherwise, His Majesty would not have sent him to find the sweetheart of the Varisian Legion." Battle Point,"

"Then why is there no movement from the 3rd Guards Banner Regiment? There is almost a turmoil here. The sound of fighting can be heard ten miles away. If they had joined the battle just now, we might be able to break through the Rode defense line in one fell swoop. "The adjutant asked angrily.

"Haha, what do you know! Sometimes the hidden opponent is more dangerous than what is actually seen." Ruande curled his lips with disdain. "Our opponent is not only the blocking force, but also the Rode formation behind. Even if Even if the two armies join together, they may not be able to repel the siege of Varisien by the Lods. It is better to find a fighter plane and kill it with one blow!"

Ruian De seemed to have thought of something, and laughed. He glanced at the dark scene around him with a faint look, and ordered with great certainty, "Let everyone be prepared. We may fight at any time. I know that guy is a This guy is so evil that he will not pay for his life, but the famous general he admires the most is His Majesty Falcon!"

"A person who has committed evil will not pay for his life? My lord, do you mean to say that Rilang Kudi's Third Guards Flag Regiment will attack at night?" The adjutant hesitated for a moment and said in confusion, "This is too illogical, Rilang." The main force of the Kudi Banner Regiment is infantry and crossbowmen. They are good at defensive warfare. The Third Guards Banner Regiment is not good at this kind of offensive warfare. Sir, are you sure that they will take action at night?'

"Haha, yes! That guy will definitely do it." Ruian De's eyes flashed with an inexplicable luster, looking at the fire-filled Sandy in the distance, and said with absolute certainty, "Don't forget, that guy's Third Flag Regiment has one thousand five hundred people A team of senior sniper crossbowmen. In such a dark night, their long-range shooting can easily tear open the German defense line. Maybe those Nords don't know how they died! May those Nords die. May you be blessed!"

Just as they were chatting, the sound of soft footsteps came from not far away. Ruian De turned around and saw his scout walking towards here with a young man wearing Falcon armor.

"Sir, this is a patrolman sent by the 3rd Guards Infantry Flag Regiment!" The scout and the young man stopped in front of Ruian De and reported to him loudly.

"Are you from the 3rd Guards Infantry Flag Regiment?" Ruande straightened his clothes and looked at the young Falcon officer with bright eyes. This is an exciting and hale young man with slightly golden hair. He looks very cool,

"Yes, sir." The blond young officer stood at attention and replied, "I am Ampolis, the captain of the 3rd Guards Infantry Flag Regiment, and I specially bring a message to Lord Riand of the Guards Cavalry Flag Regiment."

"I am Reande!" Reande stretched out his hand to him

In the woods to the west of Rode's main formation, a Rode soldier rubbed his eyes in confusion. In the black night, he saw a large shadow appearing on the horizon in front of him. The panting soldiers stopped hesitantly. He stopped and looked around, "What is that? A large area with branches and branches, is it a bush?"

"It looks very similar, but why is it getting bigger and bigger?" A veteran opened his eyes and looked around, and suddenly shouted, "They are still moving! There are trees here and there! The enemy!"

Following this loud shout, a German soldier from a squadron who was resting near him saw a neat row of black shadows rushing over from the opposite side. At the front, there was a cold flash of steel and countless white arrows. Clusters of locusts shot in from the front of them like flying locusts at high speed. "Ah!" The unsuspecting German soldiers screamed everywhere, and hundreds of soldiers fell down.

"Assault, target, the German army's main formation!"

The Falcon army that came up from behind was the 3rd Guards Infantry Flag Regiment that was attacking at night. Three thousand Falcon heavy infantry in heavy armor rushed up from the rear wings. Rows of towering spears were as bright as snow. It was like a dazzling band of light in the dark night. The black heads, the towering spears, the arrow clusters flying all over the sky, and the exciting, accurate and deadly volley of crossbow arrows made the entire row of Nord infantry who tried to rush to stop them panic. fall down,

"Hold on. Anyone who retreats without authorization will be killed!"

The teeth of the Nord soldiers who rushed up involuntarily made a "clack" sound, and their faces turned pale. Uploaded by netizens== Behind the phalanx, the military judge supervising the battle ordered the military police to form a skirmish line, with bright arrows pointed at the backs of the soldiers in front.

"What's going on?" Yagrolk came out of his military tent. He was awakened by the sound coming from behind. As a sixty-year-old man who was already mentally and physically haggard,

After directing the battle for a day, his physical strength and excitement had reached the limit, so he had to take time to come back from the front for a short rest. He looked behind him with a slight frown, and saw only a fire in the back mountain. In order to illuminate the enemy, the Lod people lit their own fires,

But they didn't expect that this time the troops of the 3rd Guards Banner Regiment rushed up with groups of crossbowmen. The crossbowmen simply used the light of fire to kill the unsuspecting Nord infantry one by one.

"Your Majesty, the Falcon Army is coming up from behind!" A Rode Shi ran over from behind with a hesitant look on his face.

"Back there? Why is there the Falcon Army!"

Jagrork asked with a livid face. Now the main force of the Nord army has been sent out. The number of troops left in the base camp is less than ten thousand. Most of them are troops who have withdrawn from the front to rest. They havetily responded to the battle. It is completely chaotic.

"My subordinates guess that it should be the Falcon Army that came to support! I don't know why, but it has been lurking until now before launching an attack." Rod Shi responded with a bold guess.

"It should be like this, otherwise, God has abandoned me, Luode, and ordered the whole army to close in on me." Yagrork looked ugly, hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the back mountain where there was already a chaotic battle, and decisively ordered

Judging from the overwhelming momentum of the other party, the other party has not been peeking at its own formation for a while, otherwise it would not be so easy to launch an attack from the weakest gap. If the armies continue to fight like this, it will not take half an hour. , the Falcon Army will break through Nord's main formation very strongly. Not only will they have to escape in embarrassment, but all the advantages they have gained will be wasted.

"Kill!" The 10,000 Falcon infantrymen of the 3rd Guards Flag Regiment rushed up the hillside of the German army's main line from the flank. On the left line where there had been fierce battles many times, the night that had just calmed down once again made a strange noise. Vibration sound

"In formation, it's the Falcon Cavalry!"

The Third Army of Rotoku Kyoto, which was stationed here, also felt the smell of blood in the oncoming wind, and saw countless black spots approaching at an incredibly high speed!

The main cavalry below!"

On the other side, Ruian De, who was leading the cavalry to cooperate with the attack, had an unconcealable joy in his eyes. The wind blew away the fog rising in the forest at night, and countless black shadows surged out like demons.

Every time you blink, you get closer! You can see it, a golden falcon battle flag emerges from the depths of the forest, the thundering momentum of the horse's hooves, the ferocious face of the cavalry, the white air spurting from the horse's nostrils, the iron armor The torrent was as powerful as a storm, as fierce as a roar, and came in a dense formation. Thousands of people were swept by the torrent.

"Oh my God, it's the Falcon Flag!" As the cavalry got closer and closer, a terrifying voice shouted in the phalanx. All the German phalanxes suddenly fell into chaos, and the soldiers shouted regardless of military discipline. "It's the Falcon War Flag! The Vecian Falcon is coming!"

"Oh my god, run, we will die!" One by one, the soldiers dropped their weapons and ran out of the queue. The officers stopped them and shouted, "Don't run! Whoever runs will be killed!" "Stop! I order you to stop!"

"Let go!" The expressionless military judge waved his hand, and the law enforcement soldiers began to shoot arrows. One by one, the fleeing soldiers were hit by arrows and fell down screaming. However, more and more soldiers escaped, like a landslide, and the fierce fighting continued for a day. The morale and physical strength of the German army have dropped to the lowest point, and the unstoppable collapse cannot be controlled even by excellent generals.

Du Sha, the commander of the Third Army in Kyoto, rode on his horse and shouted loudly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, go back to the queue! In order to protect us... for our glory..."

"The Falcon will win!" A huge shout suddenly burst into the sky, drowning his words. The earth was shaking, and it seemed that even the black night was collapsing! Thirty thousand Falcon main cavalry suddenly appeared from the left wing, Quickly overwhelmed the Nord Kyoto Third Army blocking the left wing,

Seeing the beast-like war horses rushing in from the front, and seeing the cavalry swords radiating cold light all around, the Lud soldiers felt a kind of fear from the deepest part of their hearts!

The Nords will never forget that in Pelgra, it was this kind of cavalry that drove several times the number of Nord infantry for a whole day and night. The Falcon Cavalry, numbering less than 20,000, swept across the entire northern part of the continent, causing King Kugit Khan of the northern grasslands to die in battle!

"The left wing collapsed! The Vecian Falcon himself committed suicide!"

With such shouts, the affected Rohde phalanx immediately collapsed. The soldiers no longer ignored the orders, scrambled to drop their weapons, turned around and ran away.

"Oh my God, come quickly, the murderous devil is here!"

The scattered troops were like water that had opened a gate, like the waves of a river. The crowds were surging, and they suddenly overwhelmed the supervising team behind them. There was a noise everywhere: "Run away! Run away!" "I'm dead!" People fled in all directions, stepping on, squeezing, rolling, and colliding with each other. White weapons were scattered all over the floor, and discarded flags were everywhere. .

"Your Majesty, we can't stop it!" Yagrolk's personal guard captain ran over panting, "Your Majesty, the main force of the Falcon Army has already come over, let's withdraw quickly!"

"Withdraw? Do we still have room to withdraw?"

Yagrolk turned his head and glanced at him, silent, looking away from the killing battlefield and towards the vast sky. At this time, there was no more power that could save the army from defeat.

He watched quietly in front of him that he had spent countless efforts to gather an army that was running wildly across the mountain. He watched groups of defeated soldiers running past him. It was such a shame that a single Falcon flag gave way. His entire army collapsed without a fight before it could take the lead! In comparison, what does he, the king, mean?

The guard captain thought he hadn't heard, and repeated anxiously, "Your Majesty, let's withdraw! We still have Kyoto, and as long as Your Majesty is here we will..."

"Let's go! I can't go back." Yagrolk didn't know where he got the strength. Without anyone's support, he suddenly turned over on his horse, sighed, and said softly, "Life and death, life and death. But that’s it! I was so stupid before!”

The captain of the guard rushed forward and grabbed the reins. "Your Majesty, where are you going?"

Yagrork smiled but did not answer, suddenly drew his sword and cut the reins of his own horse, and let the horse gallop in the opposite direction to everyone else. His long sword was pointed straight at the head of the Falcon Cavalry. passed.

"His Majesty..."

The guard captain stood there blankly, watching a tall figure slowly disappear into the crowd of people in the opposite direction. The last smile was deeply engraved in his mind. The guard captain understood that Yagro Erke, a stubborn southern overlord, used this method to avoid the eventual defeat of his country.
