A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 111. P. 111

“Prince! Prince ah ah ah ah -”

Standing on the deck of the ship’s bow, a chubby, fat boy was jumping vigorously, waving his hands desperately at the city on the coast while he was jumping.

“I’m back! Prince! Did you see me?!”

The picture of a chubby meat ball bouncing on the bow of the ship and the whole body bouncing and shaking up and down is really horrible, and I can’t stand it anymore, General Vinelle opened his mouth in angrily.

“How can you see this distance? It’s useless if you break your hand.”

As she said, she pulled the little fat man back in front of her.

“Don’t mess up, go aside.”

Taer, who was dragged down, backed away angrily.

General Vinier squinted his eyes to observe the scene ahead. There were only a few pirate ships near the sea port, and most of the pirate ships had sailed into the spacious river channel outside the city of Tozes.

She sneered, raised her hand and gestured to the flag bearer on the observation deck. The flag bearer nodded and started waving the flag to send out signals.

Elson’s warship, which was originally in a cone-shaped formation, quickly changed its formation, spreading out to both sides, showing the tendency of flying with two wings.

The cone formation is to destroy the formation of the enemy fleet, but now most of the pirate ships sail into the river, there is no formation at all, of course it has to be changed to a two-wing formation that is enclosed.

At this moment, the scouts on the observation deck suddenly shouted and issued a warning.

She yelled: “Your Excellency, there is a large fleet approaching us on the side!”

Vinelle was taken aback.

“Is it a pirate’s support force?”

She asked, frowning.

“No, there is no pirate flag… the lion… it’s the lion flag! It’s the navy of Aaron Landis!”

Vinelle was taken aback, then turned to cast an inquiring look at the little fat Tarr.

The little fat man obviously said that his country’s navy was too late for rescue, so he went to Ailson for help, but Aaron Landis’ navy arrived at about the same time as them.

Taer didn’t see the female general’s questioning eyes. He stared stupidly at the large fleet that appeared from the sea level, with a fat face a little dumbfounded.

Obviously, it takes seven days for the reinforcements from Wangcheng to be full. How did they arrive in four days?

However, he quickly lost his mind to think about this problem, because the scout on the observation platform shouted again.

“Master Vinier! The gate of Tozes City has been breached, and the pirate ship is sailing into the city!”

What? The city of Tozes is broken? !

When Taer heard this, he jumped in a hurry.

“Hurry up, hurry up! Go and save people! The prince is in the city—”

“I see, don’t rush.”

Hearing what his subordinates said, Vinyl immediately came back to his senses.

Regardless of the affairs of Aaron Landis’ own navy, the current situation is that his fleet is much closer to the city of Tozes, and the Aaron Landis fleet that has just emerged from the sea level will take a long time. To get close to here.

She stared calmly at the coast that was getting closer and closer to them.

“It’s too late.”

Since Elson sent troops, he would never return without success.

…………

At this moment, everyone on the Tozes Wall, who was enveloped in despair because the gate was smashed by the pirates, had already reacted, and they gave out cheers that shook the sky.

“That’s the warship of the Elson Warrior Woman—”

“Our fleet is here too!”

“We are saved! We don’t have to die!”

Some people cried bitterly, but this time, they cried bitterly with ecstasy.

Some people retorted with tears in their eyes.

“No! We won! We won!”

Yes, they won.

They survived.

They successfully guarded their city.

Countless Tozeths were reveling, and the soldiers headed by Seth quickly recovered their calm after experiencing intense mood swings from despair to ecstasy, from hell to heaven.

Seth’s eyes were wide open, and he ran to the inside of the city wall while pulling his legs, while yelling.

“Bump! Hit me to death!”

He poked his head out of the high city wall and roared at the small warships moored on the river inside the gate.

At the beginning, he was transferred to the upper city to suppress the slaves in the riots. Large warships could not get in, so he could only drive all the small warships into the city.

After the battle for the city began, these small warships were nowhere to be used, and they berthed in the inner city river near the gate.

Just in case, there are still sailors on the battleship.

“Bump me! All! Bump—”

Seth yelled like crazy.

Both arms were raised, gesticulating semaphores desperately.

So, under his order, those dozens of small warships drove at full power and slammed into the large warship that was passing through the crashed gate.

The huge warship that smashed through the gate was seventy to eighty meters long, and its own hull also crashed a lot, so the speed of passing through the thick gate was not fast.

When its stern was still stuck in the gate before it had time to get out, Tozes’ warship ran into it one after another.

Although Tozes’s warships are much smaller than this giant warship, they crashed into each other desperately. The ship sank and died with it.

I saw that in the huge gate of the city gate, dozens of small warships were entangled with the wreckage of the huge warships that were badly damaged.

As a result, the giant warship that had been hit by the water leaking and slowly sinking couldn’t move forward. Instead, it became an obstacle stuck in the gate, blocking the pirate ship following it.

Seeing the reinforcements coming from the sea, Basha was eagerly planning to rush into the city to take the heavy prince hostage. At this moment, he saw the giant warship that had smashed the gate sinking in the gate and blocked it. After the road, I was dumbfounded.

Since it was impossible, he gritted his teeth and decisively ordered all the warships to rush out of the river channel outside the city of Tozes at maximum speed and return to the sea.

Up to now, instead of being blocked by those reinforcements in the river, it is better to fight to the death in the sea instead of fighting to the death, maybe there is still the possibility of breaking out of the siege and fleeing.

However, half of the pirate ships had just sailed into the bay, and half of them were blocked in the river before they had time to come out. Ailson’s warship, known for its speed, had already been killed.

They spread their wings and jammed the pirates in the bay.

When the warships of each other approached, thick hooks flew over in the air, and they all landed on the sides of the pirate’s ship.

Immediately afterwards, countless Elson women warriors jumped up, stepped on the ropes built by hooks, ran across the ropes at a vigorous and agile pace like a cheetah, and jumped onto the pirate ship.

For a time, the slender and fit figure of the Elson female warrior could be seen everywhere, and the heroic fighting posture.

They held war bows with all arrows, and shot the pirates who were trying to rush to death under the arrows one by one.

When the quiver was empty, he took the spear and buckler on his back with his backhand, and ruthlessly pierced the pirate’s throat and heart with the spear.

Just as the battle between the Elson female warrior and the pirates was fierce, with a loud bang, a huge warship slammed into the hull of the outermost pirate ship with a lion’s metal head. The son smashed the pirate ship in his waist.

Aaron Landis’s fleet is here!

They are not as flexible and fast as the Elson warships, but they are huge and heavy, especially the metal heads equipped on the bows, which are extremely hard.

Just like a group of lions, without a word, they slammed into the pirate ships fiercely.

The pirate ships stuck in the bay simply couldn’t avoid it, just like they blocked Tozes’s fleet on the beach not long ago. Now the situation has changed a lot, replaced by the blocked, they watched. Aaron Landis’ heavy warship slammed into it fiercely, and watched as his warship was smashed one after another, the hull slanted, began to leak, and slowly sank.

The pirates who were in a frightening battle were naturally killed by the unscrupulous Elson female warriors.

For a time, the deck of the pirate ship was stained with the blood of the pirates, and the pirates wailed and screamed and begged for mercy.

Pirates have no discipline. Usually Basha relies on his own prestige and everyone’s fear of himself to direct the pirates. At this moment, he has suffered a big defeat. Basha’s orders have begun to lose control, and it is difficult to control them.

I saw that many pirates started to jump out of the sea and swam to the shore desperately to escape from the ships that were hit and cracked. Many pirates directly attacked the Elson woman who boarded the ship on the deck. The soldier or Aaron Landis soldier kneeled and surrendered.

The pirate leader Basha stood on his ship and watched his fleet being destroyed one after another. His eyes were red, his complexion savage, and his teeth clenched to the point of rattling frustrated.

He couldn’t figure it out.

Obviously victory is just around the corner.

Obviously, given him a little more time, he will be able to successfully capture the city of Tozes and wantonly plunder and slaughter.

Obviously Tozes City should be the meat in his pocket–

Why is it that he has become the defeated party now?

No, this is not right.

It shouldn’t be like this!

Basha always feels that this should not be the case.

Although he didn’t know why, he had a feeling in the dark… He should have been able to successfully break through the city, become famous in the first battle, and slaughter tens of thousands of city residents. Then, he can take the huge wealth of Tozes City and leave the sea of Aaron Landis freely, and then use this wealth and great prestige to grow his fleet step by step, and finally become anyone in the sea. The terrible existence that even the country does not dare to underestimate.

…

But now, it seems as if fate has deviated somewhere…

In uncontrollable anger, Basha vented his anger and slashed his long knife to the floor in front of him.

Who can tell him what went wrong? !

No matter how angry Basha was, how miserable the pirates in the bay, the Tozes who stood on the wall and watched everything was excited and shouted hello. Seeing a pirate ship being hit and cracked and countless pirates being killed, they only felt very happy, and they wanted to let all those pirates die and be buried on the bottom of the sea.

Amidst the enthusiastic cheers and cheers, few people found that the young prince and his knights who had stayed with them on the wall for a day and a night had quietly left at this moment of carnival.

…………

If the battle on the wall of Tozes City by the sea is described as swift and fierce, then the battlefield at the gate of Tozes City bordering the land can only be described as terrible.

The pirate’s corpse hung on the side of the ship, and the eyes that were wide open with horror had not had time to close.

Not long ago, he hurriedly tried to pull up the anchor, and when he hit the rope, he was shot through the throat with an arrow and lay on the side of the ship without a glance.

There were also several people who encountered the same thing as him. They leaned together, and blood dripped down from them, stained the wooden ship’s gunwale red, and dripped into the river below.

At this moment, the entire deck of the ship still docked on the shore has been dyed red, and there are countless stumps and broken arms on it, piled up like a mountain of broken corpses, blood flowing into a river, flowing along the inclined hull to one side, converging Into a pool of blood.

Pata, the jet-black boots stepped on this pool of blood, and the blood was splattered as the footsteps moved forward.

A knight in jet black armor stepped on this pool of blood.

Not to mention the armor on his body, even that dark hair was mostly reddened by the blood splattered by the enemy, dripping down his light brown cheeks into his neck.

The star-eyed sword eyebrows are handsome and beautiful without Tao, but with a chilling anger.

The young man who stepped on blood was like walking from a sea of blood in hell.

At the gate of the city on this side were three pirate warships, with a total of thousands of people. After Aaron Landis’ cavalry rushed and jumped on the ship like black clouds, they were defeated.

Like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, the pirates did not even have time to resist for a long time before they fell in pieces.

Seeing that the situation is not good, many people knelt down and begged for mercy, bowed their heads and surrendered.

At this moment, the battle is over.

However, there was no prisoner.

Because all the pirates were completely killed, no matter how screaming and begging for mercy, all the pirates, without exception, became bloody corpses.

That was an order from the commander of the black cavalry, without leaving a word.

With a blood-red boot print step by step, Huimos retracted the sword and re-sheathed it and jumped off the boat.

With a whistle, a red-brown steed rushed in front of him.

Huimos turned on his horse, and he raised his hand. On his handsome face stained with blood, the golden-red eyes showed a daunting gleam.

The flaming golden lion flag rose high behind him, flying in the evening sky.

The merciless killing even shocked the soldiers guarding the city wall and sluggish on the spot. It was not until Hiemos raised his hand to signal that they reacted and quickly turned the axle to slowly open the gate of Tozes. .

When the gates were completely opened, Huimos leaned forward and urged him to get off his horse.

The red-brown horse has four hooves and the wind is blowing, and a horse is galloping into the city gate.

Behind him, the black and heavy cavalry followed closely behind him and filed in.

On the ground they were flying over, what was left were the bloody traces of dripping drops of blood, blood-red horseshoe pits, and the corpses of countless pirates…

…………

The sky has darkened, the sea battle outside has come to an end, and the overall situation has been determined.

The room was lit, and Garland was lying on the bed, with a warm yellow light shining on his pale face, his slender and closed eyelashes cast a shallow shadow on his cheeks, and his long, golden hair was on the snowy white. Spread out on the bed.

Although he closed his eyes, his brows were very tight, as if he was holding back something.

Although it was finally time to rest, for some reason, Gallan was not drowsy at the moment.

Obviously the body is exhausted, but I just can’t sleep.

The back hurts badly, and the head twitches so badly. It seems that the nerves have been stretched for too long, and the tension is so severe that they can’t relax.

The room was very quiet. After a while, the boy opened his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and looked out the window.

It was already night, the sky was dark, and a crescent moon in the night sky was looming in the clouds, casting a faint light.

He stared at the night sky blankly for a long time, when suddenly, there was a sound of rapid footsteps outside.

The next moment, the door creaked and was pushed open.

Gallan turned his head subconsciously, and his eyes met those golden red eyes.

The young man standing in the doorway breathed a little bit, with the coolness of the night on his body.

The black hair was wet, and there was still water dripping from the ends of the hair, and there was still moisture on his body that hadn’t been wiped off yet.

Hiemos stood there, fixed his gaze at Garlan, and stepped up quickly.

A strong smell of blood came out.

He was clean and so was his clothes. Obviously, he had hurriedly washed before coming here and changed his clothes, but he couldn’t wash away the strong bloody breath.

Gallan propped up his upper body and sat up on the bed.

His eyes curled up happily, and he smiled at Hiemos.

“You came so quickly.” He smiled. “I thought I would have to wait for you for at least two days.”

Huimos did not answer, and walked over quickly.

Leaning over and kneeling beside the bed, he raised his eyes to look at Garlan.

The young man sat quietly on the bed, looking down at Heimos with a little confusion, his complexion was pale, only two smears of abnormal burning red still lingered on his cheeks.

The bloodless lips opened slightly, and his breathing was a little quick.

His clothes are loose now, revealing the snow-white bandage tightly wrapped around his slender shoulders, and his long golden hair falls from his shoulders.

Obviously his physical condition was extremely poor, but his golden eyes remained as bright as usual, even in the dark.

But it is this contrast that makes people feel distressed at first glance.

“Because you are waiting for me.”

Huimos said.

Because I know you are waiting for me.

So no matter what method I use, I will rush to you.

Gallan stared at him blankly and blinked slightly.

The slender eyelashes quivered slightly like the wings of a butterfly under the warm yellow light.

“I am coming.”

Huimos stretched out his hand and took Garlan’s arms.

“Don’t be afraid.”

He said: “I am here.”

The boy’s gaze seemed to be dull for a moment, and then his lips tightened little by little.

He squeezed so hard that it almost became a straight line, so tight that the corners of his lips seemed to be shaking slightly.

…………

In fact, he has always been upset.

He was actually scared all the time.

He was never a fearless hero.

He was so afraid of death.

But he can’t show an expression of restlessness, and he can’t let others know that he is afraid.

During these nights, when he was alone, he lay on the bed and shrank himself into a ball.

Panic kept nightmares hit.

Countless times, he woke up in nightmares.

In his dream, he saw the blood flow in the city of Tozes, and countless souls wailed at his feet.

Every time he wakes up from a nightmare, in panic and heartbeat, he can’t sleep all night.

He doesn’t know the ending.

He didn’t know if Tozes could survive.

But after daybreak, in front of Seth, in front of the Tozeths, and even in front of his guardian knight Kehus, he could not show the slightest weakness.

Because he is the backbone of everyone in Tozes.

Everyone can be upset.

He alone can’t.

Everyone can be afraid.

He alone can’t.

Everyone can despair and give up.

He alone can’t.

He is the prince of Aaron Landis.

…………………

But now, in front of this person, it’s all right.

Garlan leaned deeply, his forehead resting on Huimos’s shoulder.

Long golden hair fell from his side cheeks, covering his face.

His hands clasped Heimos’ arms tightly, tightening them to the point where the knuckles were all white.

His tense shoulders twitched uncontrollably, as if shaking.

His face rested on Hiemos’ shoulder, and the clothes on that shoulder oozeed a little bit of moisture.

This young man who stood tall on the battlefield was trembling in Huimos’ arms at this moment.

…………

Anyway, he has died four times in the hands of this man.

No matter how ugly, no matter how ugly, no matter how cowardly, Heymos has seen them all.

So, even if this weakness is exposed in front of Huimos now, it is not a big deal.

……is not it?

………

[Because you are waiting for me. 】

I have been terribly scared.

[Don’t be afraid, I am here. 】

Um.

………………

In the middle of the night, the one-eyed knight Fengchen came over, walked quickly across the corridor, and gently opened the door.

When he looked up, he was taken aback.

Hiemos, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, raised his head and looked over with his golden red eyes.

He looked at Kehos, raised his hand, and put his index finger on his lips.

The teenager who was hugged by him fell asleep in his arms, quiet, and his eyebrows were peaceful and stable.

The warm yellow light fell, and the long golden hair slipped from Huimos’ brown arm.
