Power and Empire Chapter 3347: Another 1 preface

Sakye, within the Kingdom of Karisu

This is the northern part of the Bikalisu border. It is a veritable tropical rainforest area. Even in winter, the trees are still flourishing and the branches are luxuriant, even covering the sun completely. Looking up here, it almost looks Invisible to the sky, only dense layers of leaves are visible in the eyes. The dark green leaves and dark black leaves are intertwined with each other, blocking every trace of sunlight. The thick trees are growing up desperately, trying to The same kind of people around me are completely overwhelmed. On the muddy ground, decaying herbs and vines are deposited, making the whole ground quite difficult.

The Emperor ** team finally decided to switch from Baruja to Sakye,

"Fortunately, it is winter!

Bai Dan, the commander of the Eighth Banner of the Second Army of the Southern Empire, took a deep breath, secretly embarrassed, it was a fluke. The cold winter is like this, I can’t believe it, if it were really hot in the summer, what would it look like here? Baidan, the top nobleman in southern Salander, is not someone who has never seen dense forests. In fact, there are also large forest areas in southern Salander. What's more, when he goes hunting in the forest in autumn, Salander is young and expensive. The best place for Bai Dan, as an extremely good marksman, he can win the championship every time he hunts, which is enough to prove that he is not a rookie who has never entered the woodland, but Bai Dan has never seen such a thing before him. Lots passed along the dense forest

I have been walking for four hours along the way, barely seeing the bare soil, all covered by thick grass or mud, the boots fell gently. If you are not careful, you will step on a huge mud pit. , Even if there is no mud pit, a lot of water will be squeezed out on the ground, and then you can see a lot of unknown little bugs rushing out of the damp soil, as if frightened. Quickly scattered around, Even the emperors who have experienced many battles can see the scalp numb in this scene. This is a world completely different from other regions. If it is not personal experience, who would believe that there is such a terrible woodland area in the world, although There are no mosquitoes that are disgusting in summer, but these inconspicuous little bugs are just as troublesome. These little things that are all-pervasive, once they get into the armor, it’s really bad. Itching is hard to bear. And it will leave red wounds on the body surface

Don't talk about the soldiers below, but Bai Dan has been recruited.

Three small bugs hung on his neck. It seemed that they turned red after sucking blood. Bai Dan stretched out his hand to pull the bugs off, but he was stopped in time by Lighter. Lighter looked at the bugs on Bai Dan’s neck. , With a solemn expression, "This kind of thing cannot be forced, otherwise, once it is broken, it will not only leave wounds, but also leave permanent scars. If there is no insect-repellent burning blue grass, then use this kind of licorice. To drive away the scent of "Letter's footsteps rolled up a light blue grass path and handed it to Bai Dan. Bai Dan took the blue blade of grass and placed it on his neck, and saw that the three had already been sucked. The fat little bug broke away and fell to the ground. Bai Dan immediately crushed the bug with his feet. Although he didn't care much about his appearance, as a soldier, the scars on his body did not come from the battlefield. , But because a few small bugs spread out, his Bai Dan is also embarrassed and lost home!

"How long will it take to arrive"

The leader of the Fifth Banner, Estante, staggered from behind, leaning on a cane in one hand and a saber in the other, and cut off a wild vine in the way, and a lot of dark fell from the wild vine. Little green bugs are creeping slowly on the ground. There are still many imperial soldiers like Estante. The ground is soft and hard to focus on. It is a very effective way to walk with a walking stick. Of course, tell this. It’s still Leiter, and now Estante already feels that if Leiter went south this time without the emperor’s appointment, he and Baidan’s 30,000 army are afraid that it’s hard to move in this dense forest.

"It should be here soon."

Letter's face hesitated. If a famous Kalisu heard this, he would know that the true meaning should be a long time away. In fact, the dense forest in front of him is at least ten miles away, and the previous garrison I don’t know if there is any adjustment, or there is still a long way to go, but Lighter cannot tell the news frankly, because it is already deep in the dense forest. The army has marched for hours in such muddy conditions, mentally and physically. It’s all spent seven or eighty-eight. Once told that there may be a considerable distance, I’m afraid the soldiers will ask to rest on the spot. The problem is that it is approaching the evening. Once the army rests in the dense forest, when the sun goes down, they will be The dense forest that blocks the light is completely invisible in the dark. Not only is it difficult to find the way, but also there are all kinds of beasts. A little carelessness is the result of getting lost. Even if it is a native of Kalisa, it is generally not a last resort. Never cross the jungle at night!

So Lighter believes that the elite troops of the Kallithu Kingdom in the Baruja area are definitely still waiting for their attack, and will not think that the imperial army may bypass them and enter from the direction of Sakye, because the terrain here is really It’s too bad, Karisu’s side will not believe that the emperor will detour,

Now we can only do our best to make the Di ** team insist on going out! Leiter gritted her teeth secretly. Hearing Leiter’s words, Estante rolled his eyes speechlessly. This is the fourth time you said that it’s almost coming, okay? You said that two hours ago. The dense forest in front of you is completely It’s as if you can’t see the edge. One hour later, when Estante thought and asked again, the field of vision in front of him began to widen a lot. It seemed that he could see a large area of ​​land. The end of the line of sight of the earth was vaguely visible. The outline of the city's outer wall, faintly, can see the buildings that are rich in the characteristics of the Kalisa Kingdom, and the buildings of the Kalisu people are very distinctive. Almost all of them are backed by a big tree, and then use this big tree as the backbone to support a house

"It's Sakye!"

Elliott stared at the outline of the city in front of him, his voice trembling slightly with excitement, and a look of relief appeared on his face. This city was the northern gateway of the Karisu Kingdom, and it was only a small town at the beginning. It was during the period when he was commander of the Sakye Northern Army by Elliott that he not only built a defensive wall for the town, but also gathered all the Kalisu people who were ambushing around, gradually expanding the town in front of him. Becoming a city, although only a trace of Sakye was seen from such a long distance, Eliot’s face was already very satisfied, and the distance would not be very far!

"It's a city!"

"Finally came out, this **** ghost place!" The emperor was also boiling up and down,

"Order the whole army to rest for a while!" Leiter said to Baidan and Estante. "I have been walking for five or six hours in a row. Everyone must be hydrated and stamina. Hurry up and rest, and before the attack, I I hope to be able to go to the previous city of Sakye, where the Sakye Northern Army is located. I have been in the Sakye Northern Army for several years. If there is no change, I should be able to persuade them to join us."

"My lord is going to Sakye?" Bai Dan looked stunned. The lord has been stationed in Sakye for several years. Everyone here knows you. You are almost not sleepy if you want to get in. The situation is not what it used to be. The adults have to go to Sakye in person. If there is an accident, we are afraid it will be unbearable."

"Relax, I know in my heart that I will not go in in armor, and I will cover my face, even if I am an acquaintance, I will not recognize it. You know, I died long ago during the promotion of the Kingdom of Karisu, a dead man. Why did you appear here?" Lighter smiled disapprovingly, and really took out a piece of black cloth from the cotton-padded jacket under the armor, blocking the lower half of his face, only showing a pair of piercing eyes. "I know this makes you guys." I am embarrassed, but come back a year later. What is the current situation of my subordinates? Now that the army may launch a siege war, I am eager to know, so even if it is an adventure, I have to give it a try. It is quite common in the Kalisa area, because the perennial rot in the dense forest can cause people to be poisoned unknowingly, so it is normal to walk in the dense forest and cover your nose and mouth. The other party will not doubt it."

The importance of Lytle has now been fully revealed. To a certain extent, without Lytle, this time the empire’s southward raid on the Kingdom of Kallithu is a big joke, not to mention the capture of King Kallithu’s capital, it’s just now. It can be said that Lytle is responsible for the success or failure of this battle, and the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of troops. Now Lytle is going to the city of Sakye, where the Soviet army is stationed, by himself. Bai Dan is definitely not willing to agree, but he I also heard the firmness of the other party from Lytle’s tone. As a person who had a similar experience, he was quite empathetic to Lytle’s experience. Lytle’s words reminded him of those Saran who followed him and died in Normandy. Fellow Germans, the words of disagreement came to the lips, but they could not be said.

"I can only give the adults two hours. If the two hours have not returned, our army will attack!" Just when Bai Dan hesitated, Estante rushed to him and said the conditions.

"Extremely grateful." Lighter nodded excitedly, turned around and took out the Kalisa civilian costume that had been prepared from his horse's bag, and quickly put it on and stepped on the horse and galloped away.

"What should Master Lytel do if he doesn't come back? Bai Dan's face is gloomy, and Lytel has prepared a civilian clothes in his sack. This really makes him have to think about it.

"No, Lord Lytle was squeezed out by the royal family in the Kingdom of Karisu, and now he is ruined, and Lord Lytle's daughter is still on the west coast." He stared at Lytle further and further away, and finally turned into a small With a black dot from the back, Estante turned around, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said to Bai Dan, "The whole army is ready for combat. If we don’t agree to his request, I’m afraid he won’t be willing to guide us through here to get stuck. King Lisu, now I only have a chance to try it. In two hours, we should be able to build the first batch of city ladders. If Lord Lytel does not come back by that time, we will attack the city according to the scheduled plan! "

"But if the Carly Soviet Army is threatening Mr. Lighter, we..." Bai Dan hesitated for a moment, and stopped with words

"Of course, we will continue to attack the city. Otherwise, let the Kalisu know that Lord Lytel is our weakness. Not only will the army be blocked, but also Lord Lytel will be in a more dangerous situation. Once the Kalisu know Lord Lytel is the commander of this battle emperor army. If you are the commander of the Kalithu people, would you let Lord Lighter, a person familiar with the situation of Kalithu, continue to live?" Estante took a deep breath. With a sigh of relief, instead of saying categorically, "On the contrary, our army continues to attack the city without any scruples, Lord Lytle is more likely to survive!"

"Hope, everything goes well!" Bai Dan sighed long.

For two hours, the imperial soldiers were cutting down trees and building siege ladders from local materials. The scouts also figured out the general situation of the city in front of Sakye, mainly piled up with mud and wood. It’s hard to say that the garrison is not very strong. The garrison doesn’t seem to be too much, and it’s obvious that there is no news of the outbreak of the war. There are only a hundred guards lazily leaning on the tower to rest, and the gate below is also large. Open, there are almost no people to interrogate, and the commuters are all Kalisu civilians from nearby villages.

The scout's report made Estante's eyebrows frown,

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Bai Dan looked at Estante curiously. He has amazing and sharp perception, but it is born from family inheritance. When it comes to combat experience and reputation, it is actually far inferior. The Estante in front of him, others don’t know, but he knows. The entire Estante in his eyes is not an ordinary person.

We must know that the composition of the Second Army of the South of the Empire itself is the elite unity of the Nord Kingdom. This is the southern overlord who was able to fight against the Falcon Dynasty at the beginning, the first land lion in land warfare for more than a hundred years, and how many Nord generals Gathered together, now all compressed in one legion, Estante can still sit firmly in the important position of one of the eight banner commanders, which is enough to show Estante’s ability

It is said that Estante was nominated as the commander of the Fifth Banner. The application submitted by Lord Salton was originally rejected by the Ministry of Military Affairs. Lord Dunn filled in three words on the application, and this recommendation letter was approved.

And the position of the signature is not the gun, shield, and eagle emblem of the Ministry of Military Affairs~IndoMTL.com~ and the coat of arms of a spread-winged falcon, that is the coat of arms of the Falcon Emperor, indicating that this recommendation is by His Majesty the Falcon Emperor I personally approved it. As for the three words filled in on the application form, Bai Dan knows that they are the three words "Norras"

This is the name of a young Nord,

A name that seems little-known. In the Falcon Dynasty and the Nord Kingdom decided the battle for continental supremacy, it did not have the slightest name, but after the Nord Kingdom surrendered to the Falcon Dynasty, it rose like a comet. , Took the 50,000 Nord Southern Remnant Army, and used the Nord Southern Mountains to resist the Falcon Dynasty army alone for a month. In the end, the princess of the Nord Kingdom personally issued an order to make this Noras. The young general agreed to disband the army and surrender to the Falcon dynasty, but because it was to resist the Falcon dynasty's southward brilliance, the name of Noras was also considered a taboo in the emperor after the surrender.

It is said that this young Nord General Nord has disappeared after disbanding the army, but now, I am afraid that is not the case! Estante in front of him is not a sharp face, and he is also very lazy, but the savage occasionally revealed in his strategic gaze is a genius that Bai Dan also feels extremely admired.

"This used to be the front line of Karrisu Kingdom against Fazer. I dare not say that heavy soldiers are gathered here. At least it should not be the case. Such a state of defense is really not normal. It is also the same as Lord Lytel said earlier. The situation in the Sakye Northern Army garrison does not match." Estante's eyes were sharp and bright, and he raised his head to look at the sky that had begun to dim, and his voice paused and said, "So either the Sakye Northern Army among the large population of Lytle will appear. A major change, or that there is actually no defensive force here."

"My lord, there is chaos in the city of Sakye!" At this moment, an urgent message came from the front scout
