Chapter 437: The war begins and the Kingdom of Barak is attacked

The Kingdom of Barak is located in the southwest of the Tiandou Empire, close to the Province of Fanos.

In terms of area, the Kingdom of Barak is not large, only three-quarters of the size of Fanos Province. However, due to its geographical location, the Kingdom of Barak is crucial to the Tiandou Empire.

Because on the dividing line between the Tiandou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, there was a province and three kingdoms, namely the Fanos Province, the Balak Kingdom, the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom, and the Gulei Kingdom.

But among them, Fanos Province, Haagen-Dazs Kingdom, Gulei Kingdom and Star Luo Empire are separated by mountains and are not directly adjacent to each other.

Fanos Province and the Star Luo Empire are separated by the Border Mountains, while the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom and the Gulei Kingdom are separated from the Star Luo Empire by the Star Dou Mountains.

However, there are no mountains between the Balak Kingdom and the Star Luo Empire. Instead, they are separated by the endless Lima Plain.

Therefore, if the Balak Kingdom is not controlled, once the Tiandou Empire and the Star Luo Empire go to war and the Balak Kingdom falls to the Star Luo Empire, the Star Luo Empire's army can easily invade the Tiandou Empire with the help of the Balak Kingdom.

This is definitely something the Tiandou Empire and the Spirit Hall Alliance don't want to see.

Therefore, when the Wuhun Palace and the Tiandou Empire finalized the battle plan, they first determined that once the war started, they must first capture and control the Balak Kingdom.

Only in this way can we prevent the Xingluo Empire from crossing the Barak River from the Lima Plain to the Silvis Kingdom with the help of the Balak Kingdom, and then marching straight in with the help of the Silvis Kingdom to knock on the Jialing Pass.

In that case, the strategic depth of the Tiandou Empire would be completely lost!

Because behind Jialing Pass is Tiandou Imperial City!

Only by first controlling the Barak Kingdom, and then guarding the important passes of the Border Mountains and the Star Dou Mountains, will the Tiandou Empire have enough time to deal with the four enfeoffed kingdoms and the only principality, and then fight against the Star Luo Empire. Battle.

And in order to control the Balak Kingdom with lightning speed.

Under the orders of Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong, the Tiandou Empire and the Wuhun Palace had been transformed into the two most elite groups of soul masters, the Royal Knights and the Temple Guard Knights, and they immediately set off.

The goal of the former is to bypass Jialing Pass, pass through the Sunset Forest and the Golden Iron Mountains from the Tiandou Great Plains, enter the Kingdom of Silvis, and then use the inaccessible Barren Gold Plains to reach Barak City!

The latter's goal is to leave Wuhun City and penetrate directly into Soto City from Lima Plain!

The two core cities of the Barak Kingdom are the Soto City and the Royal City of Barak. Once the Royal City of Barak and Soto City fall, the Kingdom of Barak will become history!

……

And in the royal hunting ground on the outskirts of Tiandou Imperial City.

Qian Renxue came to the Royal Knights fully armed and riding a snow-white horse, and gave a solemn pre-war speech to the Royal Knights.

It explained the importance of the Royal Knights' thousands-mile attack on the Kingdom of Barak to the Tiandou Empire and the entire Douluo Continent, and also showed the rewards that would be given to the Royal Knights after the victory of this battle.

Under the righteousness and interests, all the knights of the Royal Knights are extremely excited and feel that they have a heavy responsibility.

Under the leadership of Soul Emperor Yan Yao, the leader of the Royal Knights, a group of Royal Knights who had been transformed into soul masters immediately summoned their own soul mounts and rushed along the specially designed route to the Jintie Mountains. And go.

Originally, the journey from Tiandou Imperial City to Jintie Mountains was more than a thousand miles.

If the former Royal Knights wanted to pass from Tiandou Imperial City through the Sunset Forest and Golden Iron Mountains, into the Wild Gold Plains, and then directly into King Barak City, they would not be able to do it without more than a month!

But after the Royal Knights collectively transformed into soul masters, the mounts underneath them changed from ordinary horses to powerful soul beast mounts that could last for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Therefore, the marching speed of the current Royal Knights has been greatly enhanced. If they travel day and night, traveling thousands of miles in a day is not a problem!

So starting from Tiandou Imperial City, they traveled almost day and night. In less than five days, the Royal Knights arrived at the Golden Iron Mountains.

In this city that belongs to the Tiandou Empire and is located near the Jintie Mountains on the border between the Tiandou Empire and the Silvis Kingdom, Qian Renxue has already sent people here to prepare supplies.

After the Royal Knights completed their supplies, they immediately set off again, passing through the Golden Iron Mountains and entering the Kingdom of Silvis, preparing to go straight to King Barak City through the Wild Gold Plains!

And because compared with the distance from Tiandou Imperial City to Jintie Mountains, the distance from Jintie Mountains to Balak King City is much shorter.

So after passing through the Golden Iron Mountains, in less than two days, the Royal Knights crossed the Huangjin Plain and arrived at the Barak River.

As long as you cross the Barak River, King Barak City is within easy reach!

... "Captain, do we want to repair here for a day?"

After crossing the Jintie Mountains and marching all the way from the Huangjin Plain to the Barak River, the adjutant was a little stunned when he received the news from the regiment leader Yan Yao that they would be repairing in place for a day.

Now that they have reached the bank of the Barak River, shouldn't they just cross the river and attack King Barak City?

"That's right!"

But in response to the adjutant's shock, Yan Yao looked at the vast and vast river in front of him and spoke slowly.

However, although the Barak River is vast, Yan Yao did not say that because the river was difficult to cross, he ordered the Royal Knights to spend a day collecting materials in preparation for building a pontoon to cross the river.

In fact, because all the royal knights have been transformed into soul masters, and the mounts have changed from ordinary horses to soul beasts, crossing the river is now very simple for the royal knights.

But starting from Tiandou Imperial City, they marched all the way to the Balak River in the Balak Kingdom.

Even if they replenished supplies in the Golden Iron Mountains on the way, the journey was almost day and night. Even though the Royal Knights were riding on the spirit beasts, they were not in a hurry.

But from the time they set out from Tiandou Imperial City to now, most of the knights of the Royal Knights must still be a little tired, not to mention the souls of their mounts.

As for him and his adjutant, who were high-level soul masters, they were okay, but most of the Royal Knights were actually only around the level of a great soul master, so they were definitely not as good as him and his adjutant.

Next, they are going to attack King Barak City.

Even if they have become extremely powerful.

But King Barak City is the home base of the Barak royal family. The Barak royal family is definitely the strongest here, and the soul masters and knights under it are definitely not weak.

The next step will definitely be a hard battle, and it will take half a day to recuperate and adjust the condition.

After explaining the situation to the adjutant, the adjutant immediately went to notify a group of royal knights and asked them to repair on the spot, eat something, restore their energy and soul power, and prepare for the next battle.

In a forest by the Barak River.

While the Royal Knights were making final repairs and preparing for the next battle, Yan Yao himself crossed the river first and found the best place to cross the river. Then according to the map, he scouted forward to the vicinity of King Barak City and determined Okay offensive line.

As time goes by night.

It is the time when the night is quiet and the moon and stars are scarce.

After the Royal Knights were repaired, it felt like it was time. Yan Yao, who had returned, immediately summoned the soul of his mount, the Red Flame Demon Tiger, and sat on the back of the tall Scarlet Flame Demon Tiger. With the lance in his hand, he reached the other side and faced everyone. The Royal Knight shouted in a deep voice.

"Have a rest, okay? For this mission, we have the emperor's mandate and shoulder the future of the empire. Opposite the Barak River is King Barak City."

"If we can successfully break through King Balak City, take control of King Balak City, make a wife, and become a distinguished noble, it will be no problem."

"But if we fail and insult the emperor's order, and the future of the empire is in despair because of us, how can we have the face to meet our emperor?"

"Don't forget, you have the identity of soul masters. I don't know how many great nobles and great soul master families in Tiandou Imperial City want to be, but none of them have the chance. It was my emperor who personally requested the soul master for us. Only then did Zisumo have the opportunity to become a soul master like us."

"Being able to become a distinguished soul master, my emperor also promised us many rewards for our achievements. This is all my emperor's grace. Can we live up to our emperor's grace?"

"Can't! Can't!" x N

Under Yan Yao's words, the emotions of all the royal knights were aroused, and they felt extremely excited inside. They clenched the lances in their hands, and kept shouting in response with their faces flushed.

"Okay! Now...cross the river!"

Seeing the faces of all the royal knights turning red and shouting in response excitedly, Yan Yao felt that his military morale was at his service. He couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, turned to face Balakjiang, and shouted.
