Power and Empire Chapter 1268: Luminous

"Buried these corpses on the spot, and the army continued to move forward." The fat man's sharp gaze was somewhat unexpected. He swept over the dozen or so corpses that had been turned into hedgehogs. His eyebrows frowned. He didn't. I thought of meeting the Black Forest rebels suddenly in the dense forest fifty miles away from Wumutuo, but the timeline of the middle of the night was past, and he didn’t allow him much time to think about it. In any case, he must see the Black Forest rebels before dawn. Army camp, "Your Majesty, I think something is wrong!"

Beside him, a sturdy middle-aged general, the **** sè, whispered worriedly, "These Black Forest soldiers brought hunting dogs with them, proving that these people ran into us. It was an accident. Their The target should be someone else, and they just launched a rocket into the air. It should be a signal for finding a certain target or asking for help. The ability to search here from the battlefield is enough to prove that the target they are searching for is very important." Do you mean that the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Banner of the Southern Army, Jaglins, the Sukhs have failed? No, although their total strength is not as good as that of the Allied Forces, they also occupy a geographical advantage. If they guard Umutuo, they should be at least. Can last for more than 5 days. "Fatty face gave him an unexpected look. This person is the commander of the Second Cavalry Banner of the Southern Army, who arrived this morning.

"If the Sukhs really rely on the ebony support of the strong city, as your Majesty believed, they will be afraid that they will choose to take the initiative!" God Yaglins said solemnly, "Your Majesty, don’t forget, It is winter now, when the Black Forest is extremely short of food. There are very few animals in the forest. Because of the sudden incident, the Sukh people must not have enough food to hoard.

In order to avoid the oasis outside the city that can provide food, it will eventually become a share of the coalition forces, the possibility of the Sukhs taking the initiative is very high! And the most likely place to face off should be the Bianhe Defense Line, the entrance to the Umutuo Oasis.

The entrance is narrow and the river is rushing, which is a natural defensive line for the Sukhs in Umutuo. But they forgot that it is the dry season and the entire river channel is useless. If the water depth can be detected in advance If it is, it is not impossible even to swim on foot! According to the superior strength of the coalition forces, they can easily defeat their obstacles, and then directly press down the Umu Tuo"

"Bion River?" The fat man said the place name solemnly and in a low voice, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and he suddenly asked, "How far is the Bion River from us now?"

"Less than ten miles!" Jaglins replied very positively. As the commander of a mobile cavalry unit, Jaglins needs to know in advance that those places are conducive to the cavalry fighting in the same area, and those may become It is difficult for the cavalry to use mobility. Once the governor issues an order to enter the Black Forest, he wants his cavalry to be the first to reach Eumto. For this reason, it is said that he has been able to draw a map of the Black Forest with his eyes closed. Come out "So, the enemy's camp is very close to us!"

The fat man touched his chin carefully. He was not familiar with the environment of the Black Forest. However, as a Southern Army, Jaglins had already had a comprehensive understanding of the Black Forest, and he had also taken advantage of business opportunities to personally accompany him. The caravan traversed the entire Black Forest area. This time received an order from His Majesty Falcon to request a southern army general familiar with the Black Forest area to cooperate in the march. The Southern Governor Statunko first thought of him,

Jaglins’ 2nd Cavalry Regiment, generally speaking, is a light cavalry regiment with about 7,000 people. Because it is the fastest cavalry unit, the Jaglins that received the order was the earliest The army united with Fatty,

With the arrival of the Second Cavalry Banner Regiment, plus Riposti’s Third Infantry Banner Regiment·Fatty can personally command more than 15,000 troops. Considering the limited time that the Sukhs can persist, After the fat man asked Statunko to send a two-way entry into the Black Forest battle plan, he brought 15,000 people to the Sukh area in advance, but he did not expect to encounter this accident on the way.

"As you have analyzed, it is very likely that the Black Forest rebels have breached the Bian River!" The fat man's voice stopped, and the **** said cautiously. "And this time in the Black Forest Rebels, There is also a guy who has studied the tactics of the Sukh cavalry for a long time. If he deliberately set up ambush, it is entirely possible to annihilate all the Sukh cavalry on the Bian River."

"What your majesty said is the culprit behind the attack on the transport team?" Yaglins asked hesitantly." He attacked the transport team to attract the attention of the empire, and then used the Suk clan to attack in one fell swoop. Entering the ebony support, it is really seamlessly arranged. "A trace of murder flashed in the eyes of the fat man,

He also learned of the unexpected news. The descendant of the prophet, Ferrantil, who claimed to be the son of the sky, was arrested and defeated in the Battle of Umuto, unexpectedly half a month ago, from a tight defense The prison escaped. Although the Southern Governor-General Statunko has ordered a stern investigation of the matter, and has issued a search order throughout the southern part of Salander, and has also posted Ferrantil's portrait everywhere, but nothing was found.

This son of the sky seems to have evaporated from the world. Although Statunko once wanted the other party to enter the Black Forest, a blank area in the south, but considering the complicated situation in the Black Forest, he has always No search order was issued, but people were secretly sent to search in the forest. According to the information that came back, in the Black Forest, the most powerful punk tribe found a person with similar identity and behavior, but was always covered in black robes. So I can’t be completely sure

But as soon as he received the fat man’s order, Statunko immediately concluded that it was this person who attacked the convoy, because the news came back from the punk eyeliner, just a few days ago, this The mysterious black-robed men took 300 warriors of the punk tribe to go out. In the end, fewer than 50 people came back, and everyone was injured. That night, the punk tribe issued an order to advance to the entire Sukh tribe. Calculated from time, it was the time when the transport team was attacked. "In fact, why are we guessing here?" The fat man stopped the horse and suddenly shouted to the guard cavalry behind him, "Ritatang, with your Kujit's first tracking technique, you can find the opponent in this dense forest. Are you looking for the target? I want to know what these people are looking for!" "Your Majesty is relieved, as long as there are traces, there is no possibility of escaping my eyes." As the response sounded, a 30-year-old captain of the Guards Cavalry from Coming out of the queue behind him, with a strong confidence on his face. God respectfully saluted the fat man, saying, "But the area of ​​this dense forest is a bit big, and I need some scouts as a helper!"

"This is not a problem!" Jaglins turned and rode his horse to the front of the cavalry formation behind, shouting, "The first and second scouts are out! Two teams of light cavalry with crossbows obeyed the order and neatly followed Come out from the queue later

"From now on, this man's order is my order!" Yaglins pointed to Ritatang and shouted, "Does everyone understand?" "Accomplished," the scouts responded neatly. Thank you. Now!" Redenta nodded gratefully to Jaglins, and issued an order "Everyone follow me,"

Hundreds of light-armored scout cavalry who heard the order left the team from both sides of the group like the wind. Following the guard cavalry captain, they dived into the dense forest shrouded in darkness.

The armor on their bodies is very thin, and the horses are extremely fast, like a huge fan combing through the woods, the grass up to the belly of the horse, and the crotch of the horse, engraved with the maple red leaf coat of arms. The cavalry shield made a rustling sound.

Facing the cold moonlight overhead, a huge search net quickly spread from the gap between the forest and trees. The moonlight shone on the black armor with a cold halo, and some frightened night birds flew in horror. In the air, turned into countless black spots

No one speaks, only dense horseshoes, stepping on the fluffy and dry leaves on the forest surface, making a low and crisp cracking sound, the whole night is dying, and the air is filled with a heavy atmosphere,

"Stop!" The Redenta at the front suddenly stopped the horse. He came down from above, squatted on the ground and pushed aside the weeds in the woodland, and soon found a bunch of messy traces in the grass, one of them The more frivolous footprints attracted his attention, and the spots of blood on the ground appeared dark red in the soil

As a senior Coherit scout, Redangta knows very well that the prey being pursued is often extremely weak or injured, although the opponent is very good at covering up his whereabouts, and as much as possible He was looking for dense weeds to conceal the traces, but this did not escape his sharp and sophisticated eyes. In the freshness of the forest, the faint smell of blood was difficult to cover up, and Redenta’s nose was in the entire West Library. Kitts are all very famous. There are rumors that even if they are separated by 2 kilometers, they can sensitively distinguish the taste of male and female wolves

Following the traces of discovery, the scout cavalry began to gather the range, and the large net closed. After a few minutes, the news of the discovery of the target was soon sent back from the front. "Your Majesty, we found a fainted person in the front meter. Woman"

"Let me see!" When the fat man heard the report, his face was as sinking as water. He quickly urged his horse to run to the position where the scout reported. In front of a dense weed pile, the scouts formed a circle, Rui After Tang Ta saluted him, he carefully removed the weeds on the ground to cover,

Pointing to a figure inside and said, "It's her, and she passed out when she was found! There are blood stains on the ground, but it should not be fatal! It should be due to excessive agitation, plus fatigue and hunger, so it was short-lived. I fainted"

Ritangta analyzed it professionally and said that she didn't notice at all. His Majesty Falcon was cautiously squatting down, using his hands to draw up the woman’s scattered red hair, her eagle-eyed pupils shrank slightly.

"It's really Su Ke Lark!" In the moonlight, the beautiful face of the woman reflected on the eyelids, the fat man took a breath of air, and his hands trembled slightly. The prediction was confirmed. The Black Forest coalition forces had already penetrated Su Ke. The defensive line of the clan, and severely damaged the proud Cavalry of the Sukh clan, otherwise the Sukh Lark would not fall to the end of being hunted down," come, take her to the military doctor immediately! "The fat man stood up and stood up severely. Yelled that although this woman had met herself several times in peace, but she couldn’t just watch her die slowly. The scouts quickly carried Su Ke Lark onto a war horse,

"Your Majesty, look now..." The Second Cavalry Banner Commander Jaglins asked cautiously, even a fool could see that this woman had some unclear relationship with His Majesty Falcon. As for What is the relationship, it is not important, what is important is whether the Falcon will continue to march.

"Tell Reposti, the combat objective has changed, and encircle the Bianhe River! Before dawn, I will launch an attack" The fat man took the reins of the war horse from the guards, turned on the horse, and said grimly on his face

"Come, let's toast to the capture of Eumto tomorrow. In the barracks on the river beach, the patriarch of Punk, Punk Pasteur, raised the wine glass in his hand and shouted excitedly to the patriarchs sitting in front of the blazing bonfire. ,

All around are carnival soldiers Bai Rì. Although the coalition has paid 3,000 casualties, it also wiped out the resistance of the Sukhs. What is now in front of everyone is no resistance. The capable ebony support, like a beauty who is about to be stripped naked, is about to face a group of mobs armed to the teeth. The morale of the coalition army will be greatly boosted. In some cases, this war has ended early

In the camp, countless burning fires light up the sky, eclipsing the stars in the sky. The door of the largest camp in the middle of the camp is filled with red cuckoos that symbolize victory. In the huge camp, the lights are brightly lit, and the noise of people is mixed with the toast of "Long live Pasteur" from time to time.

The burning fire light illuminates the flushed faces of soldiers of all ethnic groups. The military band of the Talsi Military Academy is playing a melodious march. Several thick-voiced bass are singing along with the tune to win the ranks of the officers. Cheers. Full of an atmosphere of enjoyment.

"Cheers, for the Black Forest!" The emotionally muscular Patriarch Spears raised his glass and shouted loudly.

"For the Black Forest!" The patriarchs of all races responded in unison, holding up their wine glasses and drank them, and everyone laughed together. "Now, Patriarch Pasteur should be able to tell us, is the treasure of the prophet really in Emu Tuo?"

Duane Tukas got up from his seat and asked as if drunk or not. As soon as his words came out, the patriarchs around him calmed down and everyone's eyes swept to the wine glass. Punk Pasteur, the punk patriarch, froze in the air,

Many patriarchs here went to the rumored treasure of the prophet. At the beginning, the prophet Ferran was expelled into exile by the temple. It is said that the exile was the Black Forest, and the first generation of builders of Umuto accompanied him back then. The prophet was exiled together by several tribes. From the perspective of various relationships, the saying that Umutuo was the place where the great Prophet Ferran was buried is not groundless! "It's true!" Feeling everyone's gaze, Old Punk Pasteur's cunning face showed a smile very promptly, very bewitching, and said, "Everyone should remember that the sky teaches a few months ago. Attack on Umutuo and call it the holy place. Don’t forget, the Sky Cultists are fanatics of the Prophet Phelan. Umutuo is the last place where the prophet’s bones are buried. He told me that many of you. Isn’t the ancestor of the Prophet a vassal of the Prophet? Everyone should be well aware of how terrible the power the Prophet had at the beginning, and the direct descendant of the Prophet Ferran, the Lord Ferrantil, is in our barracks at this moment! Even if we discard these. Not to mention, just the hundreds of years of wealth in Emu Tuo are enough for us to survive this winter safely!" "Ferantier is also in our barracks, is this true!" Duan twisted the face of Cass. After changing, he continued to ask, "I heard that his arrest notices are posted everywhere now. If we contain him, will it attract the attention of the Falcons? After all, with our strength, we still cannot truly compete with the empire. Contending, in case...!"

"Nothing in case" a slightly hoarse voice interrupted his speech, giving people an unpleasant feeling, "Although the Falcon is powerful, he is not an omnipresent **** after all, as long as we advance fast enough Hurry, when they are aware of it, they have to admit the fact that they have been completed, unless the empire goes to war on the Black Forest, this possibility is too small, if the empire wants to go to war, it would have been opened long ago, and there will be waiting until now! And I It can be guaranteed that within ten days, the empire’s eyes will not see here!""

"Why are you so sure!"

Duane Newcastle’s voice stopped, and his eyes turned to the mysterious black-robed man next to Punk Pasteur, because he was always covered with black robes, and the patriarchs didn’t know his identity, just Knowing that this is a strategic genius~IndoMTL.com~ This ambush the Sukh cavalry and broke the Bianhe defense line in one fell swoop. This is the arrangement of the black-robed man. Hearing him say this, the patriarchs feel nervous in their hearts. Also reduced a bit

"Hehe, three days ago, an imperial transport team on the border was attacked. This should be enough to keep them busy for a while!" The black-robed man's mouth sneered, and the complacency in it was clear. Revealed" is a bold and effective plan! "After hearing the explanation from the black-robed men, the patriarchs shouted with excitement" Come, let us work harder and take down the ebony support tomorrow! "The current rushing Bion The river water slapped the warm pebbles on both sides, the water scoured and collided, and there was a brisk sound of water, which also covered up some abnormal sounds.

The moonlight floats down like water. In the darkness, the boundary between light and darkness lies in the forest not far from the river beach. With the advancing of a black line, it was divided into two dark sides, one side is the dense forest under the moonlight, and the branches swaying in the kind night breeze form a dreamlike tranquil scene, and the other side of the forest , The shadow of the black is gradually expanding, like a black cloud gradually covering the sight of the moonlight, it is a dense black with a dense breath of suffocation,

Occasionally, I can see a few deep black reflections. If someone looks at it from a high place at this moment, they will find a dense forest less than 100 meters away from the brightly lit camp. It is like an island and reef that is gradually being submerged by the black sea,
