A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 188. Chapter 188

As soon as a week was about to pass, the atmosphere in the city became more tense and restless.

The northern border was reported to have been suppressed by large forces, the eastern border was harassed by Iss, and not long ago there was news that the western border was invaded by the Gastadians.

Aaron Landis was invaded by three countries at the same time, and Canal, an important ally in the past, has been destroyed.

He was like a giant at this time. Even though he was powerful, he was madly bitten by three beasts at the same time. After all, he was still hard to beat with four hands.

As these bad news came one after another, the people in the king city were panicked, and an aura of anxiety permeated the city, making the atmosphere of the whole city extremely depressing.

King Camos led his troops to the eastern border to fight against Iss. It stands to reason that the prince who sits in the royal city should stabilize the people.

However, a week ago, the crown prince was assassinated again and again, and finally succeeded by the assassin for the third time. He was seriously injured and has been ill in bed until now.

In the depths of the palace, the prince’s place was protected by the guards specially left by King Camos, and even a fly could not fly in.

These loyal guards only recognized the command of King Camos, and only got the permission of the king to let people in.

A few days after the prince’s accident, because Gallan had been in a coma, even if the high-ranking ministers entered, they could only look at the prince who was pale and faintly lying on the bed from a distance. , Then she was driven away by the stern female chief.

After King Camos set off, as he could not get permission from King Camos, no matter who came, no matter how high authority, no matter how painful he was, the Guards were like a stone without feelings. Drive people away one by one without hesitation.

“His Royal Highness is not awake yet?”

Standing outside the gate of the palace, the Secretary-General on the right asked, his fingers firmly grasping his gray beard.

After all, he is the head of the civil servants. He is one of the few people who will not be driven by the guards, but he is not allowed in. He can only stand outside the gate and let the female officer come out and talk to him.

“Yes, His Royal Highness is still in a coma. The doctor said that when he wakes up, he can only rely on his own willpower.”

Tapti answered blankly.

After the prince was seriously injured, the magistrate had a stinky expressionless face to anyone.

“Please go back, don’t disturb the prince to heal his wounds.”

You Sixiang sighed, turned and left.

In just ten days, he seemed to be several years old. At this moment, he looked old and his face was exhausted.

After all, during this period of time, he and the left-behind priests in the royal city have been supporting him, and every day they have tried their best to appease the restless officials, dignitaries, and nervous people.

If the crown prince can wake up, as long as he shows up, everyone in the royal city can feel more at ease.

However……

As soon as You Sixiang returned to the conference room, the officials rushed over, with an expression of impatientness, and asked all the questions.

The old man sighed long and shook his head.

The faces of everyone showed disappointment.

They looked at each other and didn’t say anything. They dispersed and continued their work.

They are all serious to complete their tasks, meticulous, although there is some anxiety on their faces, but there is no panic in the eyes of everyone.

This is the only thing that comforts the right secretary these days. Although the atmosphere is tense, no one is lax and no one is pessimistic. On the contrary, the efficiency of the palace’s political affairs has been running faster than usual, especially when it comes to military affairs. , Almost no one dared to delay, everyone worked hard and performed their duties, contributing all their strength as much as possible.

They are not afraid.

Because their king is still there.

As long as King Camos is still there, Aaron Landis will never fall.

…………

……………………

The war on the northern border continued to burn, and it burned more and more fiercely, like snow falling from the sky, from a little bit of fine snow to a heavy snow.

The weather is getting colder, and the cold wind is howling on the muddy snow field.

It was originally stated that since the attack on Aaron Landis, only a part of the army has been sent out to tentatively attack each time.

However, since the news that the Gasdad had attacked the western border of Aaron Landis, the offensive of the Geshu army became fierce.

He probably felt that the opportunity had arrived. As soon as the originally cautious Geshu commander received the news, he couldn’t wait to command the army to pounce, and he began to attack the Aaron Landis Northland Legion regardless of casualties.

All the troops stationed in the rear also moved forward and besieged the Aaron Landis.

Unexpectedly, the Aaron Landis, who was suddenly ruthless by the Geshurs, was in an ambush, suffered a big loss, and suffered heavy casualties.

At a critical moment, Huymos led the cavalry to rush out and tore open the Geshu army by a big hole, which managed to recover the disadvantage.

However, after this battle, the Aaron Landis, who could have been able to face the Gesu army on the snowy field, could hardly fight the Gesu army overwhelmed by the whole army, and had to be forced to retreat to the fortress, relying on the castle. The firm defended passively.

However, even so, the Northland Army suffered heavy casualties.

When the Geshurs attacked, considering the strength of the opponent, the commander-in-chief Heya ordered the abandonment of the surrounding small strongholds and fortresses, fully contracted back to the northern fortresses, and concentrated all his forces in one place to resist the enemy.

There is no problem with Heya’s decision. The scattered forces will only be destroyed by Gaia’s army one by one. It is the best choice to shrink into a fist and wait for reinforcements in a solid fortress.

However, what people did not expect was that they had no reinforcements because of the sudden attack in the Islamic State and the civil strife in the Tasda State.

In this way, they can only fight alone.

These days, the Northland Fortress stands alone on the ground, being impacted by waves of cover-up troops, and the storm is precarious.

After the Aaron Landis army was forced back into the fortress, the Gaithers became more unscrupulous.

Tall trebuchets were built outside the Northland Fortress Castle. Every day, countless boulders roared away from the sky and hit the city wall heavily. Some even fell into the city wall, smashed houses and wounded them. people.

Wooden arrow towers rose from the ground. Countless archers stood on the arrow towers, pouring arrows down on the Aaron Landis soldiers on the city wall.

Although the Geshurs have taken advantage, Aaron Landis’ resistance is still tenacious.

Relying on the strong fortress, the Aaron Landis people with many casualties still clung to the fortress in the north.

Siege of a city is a very difficult battle, especially this kind of fortress type castle.

Seeing that it would be difficult to capture it for a while, the Gaither commander simply surrounded the Northland Castle with a large army, and cut off the river flowing into the castle from the outside, cutting off the water source for the Arondis.

The Aaron Landis were forced to live on the melting snow.

At the same time, the materials in the fortress have been consumed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Everyone knows that once the snow stops and the water is gone, the fortress will be breached sooner or later.

Aaron Landis are brave and fearless, but not everyone is like this.

With the help of some people lurking in the fortress, the aura of restlessness spread in the fortress little by little.

The few people who are afraid of death and flexible in their minds gradually have other minds…

Soon, in a dark night, someone sneaked out of the fortress in the dark and sneaked into the camp of the Geishu army.

“…As long as you can guarantee…my lord can get enough…”

“Yes…my adults will do it…”

“As you wish…”

The whispering sound came out from the darkness.

“…Then it was agreed…”

“In the middle of the night, the city gate opens……the light is a signal…”

Before dawn, the figure that had left the Geshu camp quietly returned to the fortress castle.

I don’t know how long it has passed before dawn.

The sun rose from the horizon little by little, and the sun shone on the dark city wall that had been pitted by huge boulders over the past few days. At this moment, even the sun faintly carried the icy breath of the cold winter.

It shines on the dry blood stains on the city wall, as if to herald the arrival of danger…

…

………………

Regardless of whether it is the northern or eastern border, because the city has been fighting against the enemy all the year round, the city is strong, so even if it is difficult, it will try to fight the enemy.

However, the situation on the western border is far more sinister than the other two places.

After all, in the past, Canal and Aaron Landis had a close relationship and would not fight at all. That’s why the relatively small Sixth Army in the Aaron Landis Legion was stationed here.

Its main task is to suppress bandits and go to the north to support when necessary. Because of the lack of the baptism of war, it is inferior to other legions in terms of combat effectiveness.

The most worrisome point is that due to the good relations with Kanal, the cities on the western border are not as strong as the other borders.

The Gasdad’s sudden attack caught Aaron Landis by surprise. The strongholds along the border were cleaned up one by one, and several small fortresses fell shortly thereafter.

The Aaron Landis people fought in a hurry, but the Gasdad people were already strong, but they were still unintentional, so they were defeated several times in a row.

The Legion suffered a lot of casualties. In the end, the western border fell and the Sixth Army retreated to the Kamea Valley.

That was the last place to be defended. After passing here, the Kamea Plain in Yimapingchuan is in front of us. Several large cities are scattered on the plain, with a population of hundreds of thousands.

It is conceivable that once it breaks through here, the horseshoe of the Gasdad will unscrupulously set foot on the Kamea Plain, and those cities, as well as the hundreds of thousands of Arundis people in the city, will be in desperation.

It was late at night, and in the valley of Kamea, there were tired soldiers sleeping on the ground everywhere. They lay on the cold ground, either with a coat or a shabby blanket.

The riding commander Tanner in black and red armor walked slowly among his soldiers, occasionally leaning over, and gently covering the blanket that had been lifted back to the sleeping soldier.

The Sixth Army originally had only more than 10,000 people, but it was defeated one after another and retreated to this point. Now it is less than 10,000.

And Gasdade’s army is 30,000 people.

Tanner stood on the hillside, looking at the camp of the Gasdad who was chasing on the opposite side.

In the dark night, the wind blew by him, raising the cloak behind him and making a rustling sound.

He just stood there, motionless.

His guards also stood quietly behind him.

He stood like this all night, until the sun rose from the horizon and the sun illuminated his face.

He raised his eyes and looked at the rising sun, a determination written in his eyes.

…

In the early morning of the second day, the earth was bathed in bright sunlight.

Before the army, Tanner stood on horseback.

“We have nowhere to go.”

He said, tightening the reins, and the horse was slowly walking back and forth in front of the army.

The riding commander had an elegant face that was not like a warrior, but no one could deny the perseverance on his face at this moment.

“Our hometown, and our family, are right behind us.”

He raised his hand and pointed to the plain land that was sprinkled by the sun with a light golden light.

“To protect them, we have no choice but to fight.”

The army of nearly 10,000 people, but the valley is silent.

No one spoke, all the soldiers were watching their commander in silence.

They looked into the distance with Tanner’s hand. There were nostalgia, regret, and sadness in their eyes, but there was no fear.

When they turned their heads back, the various emotions in their eyes faded.

[There is no choice but to fight. 】

Staring at the enemy in the distance, a fierce flame ignited little by little in the soldier’s eyes.

Even if they were defeated one after another, they didn’t see a trace of sullenness in their eyes.

There is an invisible force agitating in their bodies, causing their blood to boil.

The sky is already bright, the sun is hanging above the sky,

The valley was shaking, and a roar of great oppression came from the opposite side, and an army of Gasdad people attacked them with a dark cloud covering the top.

The soldiers clenched the cold weapons in their hands.

Aaron Landis is the kingdom of lions.

They are fearless Aaron Landis warriors.

Their home is behind them.

Even if they died here and shed the last drop of blood, they would not take a step back.

The riding commander Tanner stood in front of everyone.

Behind him, the red lion flag was flying high in the sky.

“The gods of Aaron Landis are watching us.”

He shouted, holding the silver spear high in the air.

A sharp light flashed from the tip of the gun.

The next second, the silver spear pointed forward heavily, his roar seemed to tear the entire sky apart.

“For Aaron Landis—”

Tanner rushed forward, leading a large army to meet the enemy.

Under the sun, large and small armies of different colors slammed together.

The army dressed in black and red leather armor slammed into Gasdad’s army with an indomitable momentum.

The Aaron Landis soldiers reversed their previous disadvantages and fought wildly with the Gasdad.

In the face of enemy forces several times their own, they fought with the determination to break the boat.

Even with a few knives in his body, he still stands tall.

Even if he was chopped down to the ground, he still dragged down the enemies around him.

Even if you die, you have to drag the enemy to death.

Their momentum, as if they were about to die together, actually smashed the mighty Gasdad army to a halt.

In the previous several battles, the Gasdad people directly overwhelmed with their strong physique and strength, and defeated the Aaron Landis people time and time again.

But this time, the battle situation was actually forced by the Aaron Landis to show a stalemate state of confrontation.

At this moment, the courage and fierceness of the Aaron Landis people has changed their opinion of the Gasdad people who previously thought that the Aaron Landis cavalry were nothing but such.

Although their individual strength is not as good as their own, but in terms of tenacious will, the Aaron Landis are already qualified to be recognized as their opponents.

The commander of the Gasdad army thought so, and then, with a wave of his hand, the whole army pressed on.

The stalemate situation was quickly broken, and the Aaron Landis soldiers held on for a while with a fierce aura, but after all, they could not hold on for long.

Amid the icy clash of weapons and the splashing blood, one soldier after another fell to the ground.

Their blood drenched the land that nurtured them.

Tanner led his guards to fight in the enemy’s army, and watched his men fall one by one, with hideous faces and red eyes.

The silver spear had long been lost in the fight, and he was now swinging his sword to slash the enemy in front of him fiercely.

The arm hurts so badly that it has been so heavy that it can’t be lifted up with countless waves.

There are fewer and fewer personal guards following him, and when you look at it, there are all enemies that cannot be killed.

He roared, rushing from left to right among the enemy forces, trying to save his men from the enemy.

Suddenly, a javelin was thrown from the rear, and it pierced the mount under him heavily.

He fell forward, leaned forward, rolled around on the ground, and stood up quickly.

Standing among the corpses of countless Aaron Landis soldiers, looking at the enemy forces approaching him, Tanner didn’t show any fear in his eyes.

He looked calmly at the countless enemies.

Taking a deep breath, he clenched the blood-stained sword in his hand.

This will be his last battle…

Just when he was about to rush towards the enemy with a mortal heart, he suddenly whizzed.

Immediately afterwards, there were countless swishes, like buzzing sounds in everyone’s ears.

At this moment, a large wave of arrows crossed the sky, pierced from the sky behind Tanner, and shot at the Gasdards overwhelmingly.

Countless sharp arrows fell into Gasdad’s army like a torrential rain, shooting countless people to the ground.

Tanner was stuck in place.

Suddenly, a long howl came from a distant place behind him.

He had an illusion inexplicably.

That long roar seemed to be the roar of the lion king of the jungle, which shocked the entire valley for a moment.

In the ecstatic cheers of countless Aaron Landis soldiers, Tanner turned his head abruptly.

His breathing stopped abruptly for a moment.

On the distant horizon, the red flag was flying high in the sky.

The footsteps of horseshoes resounded across the sky.

Above the ground, Aaron Landis cavalry in black and red armor rushed like mercury.

Foremost, the pitch-black horse is like a black lightning.

The tall and burly man galloped on his horse, and the huge sword in his hand was like bare fangs.

The iconic dark brown mane was flying in the wind, reflecting the sunlight like a cluster of burning flames.

Camos

Undefeated lion

King of heroes

You guard the land of Aaron Landis.

You are the unquenchable faith in the hearts of all Aaron Landis people–

…………

……………………

At the same time, crossing the land of Aaron Landis, beyond the edge of the east, behind the battlefield where the Aaron Landis army and the IS army were fighting, an army was slowly advancing.

This army was wearing a slightly rough leather armor, mostly fur, wearing a felt hat, a bow and arrow on the back, and a machete in the waist.

The horses they rode were a little shorter than normal horses, and each person’s neck or arm had some kind of animal’s fangs hung on a rope.

This is the cavalry army of Isth. They are escorting a large amount of grain and grass to the front battlefield.

At this moment, the Isi cavalry yelled loudly, brandished their whips, and whipped the serfs who were pushing the wooden carts to make them move faster.

The wheels of that heavy wooden wagon plunged deeply into the ground, rolling countless deep traces on the grass.

Not far away, behind the rolling hills, a cavalry army dressed differently from that of the Islamic cavalry hides behind.

The assassin who had returned from investigating the enemy whispered to the general of the cavalry army.

The blond riding commander stood with the horse, under the helmet, the fine hair was scattered on the dark blindfold, he let the thorn waiter back down after listening.

Then, he turned sideways, lowered his head slightly, and whispered something to a guard standing beside him.

It’s just that the tone of the knight in the scorching sun and his guards didn’t seem to be treating a subordinate at all, but rather respectful.

The young knight dressed as the guard raised his head, it was the face of a young boy with a little bit of childishness still remaining.

If the right secretary saw this face, he would be dumbfounded.

Because this young knight behind the eastern frontier battlefield turned out to be the crown prince who was supposed to be unconscious in the palace.

While talking to Kayjos, Garlan felt his thigh hit slightly.

He lowered his head and saw the big lion lying next to him yawning and arched his legs with his big head.

Gallan smiled, while touching Niega’s head, while looking up into the distance.

The unconscious’prey’ was walking into the trap little by little.

The young man stroking the lion on his side looked forward, and his pure golden pupils were shining brightly against the sun.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Yes, above Huimos, King Camos is on the left and Garland is on the right.

One on each side.

Hum (ˉ(∞)ˉ) chi

Fortunately enough people.
