A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 189. Chapter 189

Time goes back to a week ago.

In the middle of the night, at the moment Garlan turned around because he wanted to return to King Camos’s palace, a figure suddenly rushed out of the shadow on the side of the road.

A cold light passed in the dark night.

The dagger in the hand of the visitor slammed into Garlan.

Between the sparks and flints, Garlan suddenly raised his left hand.

With a bang, the metal crash sounded in the dark night.

The long sleeves of Garlan’s wrists were torn by a dagger, revealing the gilded bronze wristbands on his wrists.

The tip of the dagger that the man stabbed directly into the hard metal wristband, and couldn’t pierce it any further.

At the same moment when he swiftly raised his hand to block the blow, Gallan had already drew out the short sword on his waist.

His backhand was a vicious swing.

In the next second, blood splashed in the night, and the assassin whose throat was cut by Garlan’s sword widened his eyes and fell backward.

However, even if he had killed the assassin who had attacked him suddenly, it was not time to breathe, because immediately after that, several assassins rushed out from the dark corner and pounced on Garlan.

Garlan stepped forward, just about to meet the person closest to him.

But he hadn’t done it yet, suddenly a knife came through the air, and instantly pierced the man to his heart from behind.

Gallan was stunned for a moment, and when he looked up, he saw a majestic figure that seemed familiar rushing over, pulling out the knife that was stuck on the back of the assassin who had fallen to the ground.

It was a sturdy general wearing black and red leather armor.

He stood in front of Garlan, armed with double knives, swung violently in the dark, and together with several other guards, slashed all the assassins who attacked Garlan to the ground.

After a battle was over, the dark-skinned general knelt on Garlan’s body. His body was full of blood, splashed on him by the assassin he had chopped off.

Garlan looked down, his eyes moved, and suddenly fell on this person somewhere.

The sleeve on the upper side of the general’s right arm was torn apart in the battle just now, revealing strong muscles and… the tattoo on the skin.

That is a tattoo that symbolizes slavery.

“Twa?”

He called out the name.

“Why are you here?”

Garland remembered that Kehuos had told him that Tewa had been placed in his own guard. Later Kehos entered the Third Army and brought Tewa in.

Kaijos has been busy taking over as the commander of the legion during this time, rarely returning to the palace, and Teva followed Kaijos and should be in the third legion’s resident.

Kneeling on one knee, Watt lowered his head to answer with one hand on his knee.

“Master Kehos asked me to come over. During his busy time, I will be responsible for your safety, Your Highness.”

He said, “I’m sorry, Your Majesty, you are frightened. I should have rushed over earlier.”

“No, you came in time.”

Gallan said, taking off the cloak behind him, and putting it directly on Tewa.

Facing Tewa’s stunned gaze, he patted Tewa on the shoulder and smiled at him.

“This is your reward for saving me.”

After speaking, he straightened up and walked forward.

“I’m going to Brother Wang now, come with me.”

Tewa grabbed the cloak that the prince suddenly put on his shoulders with a dazed expression, and did not react for a while.

For the first time in his life, he saw someone use a cloak as a reward for others, which made his mind unable to turn around for a while.

It wasn’t until Prince Garlan had already moved forward that he recovered, and immediately stood up and quickly followed.

After all, Master Kaihuos gave him the order to protect His Royal Highness the crown prince every step of the way during the absence of Master Kaihuos.

After just walking a few steps, the cloak that hadn’t been tightened on his shoulders slid down. Twa instinctively turned his head and wanted to pick up the cloak. When he turned his head, he saw the torn clothes on his right arm. The sleeves, and the slave tattoos from the clefts in the sleeves.

He stayed for a while.

Suddenly, he understood why the prince gave him the cloak.

Most people who can become guards are born nobles.

Once it is known that he is of slave origin…Perhaps Master Kaihuos can keep him, but he will definitely be scorned and ostracized by others.

Unexplainable emotions surged in the eyes of the mature man who was born as a slave. His fingers holding the cloak tightened slightly, and then released it.

He tied the cloak tightly around his shoulders, and quickly caught up with the prince.

Even if he has become the prince, this prince… is still the same as in Tozes City.

It hasn’t changed at all…

Tewa was thinking this in his heart, and Garlan, who was walking in front, suddenly paused and stopped.

“His Royal Highness, what’s the matter?”

“No… this won’t work.”

“what?”

“In this way, you wipe me some blood from your body, and then carry me back, showing a panic and angry look along the way.”

“what?”

“In addition, I immediately sent someone to notify Brother Wang that I was attacked by an assassin again. This time I was seriously injured and dying.”

“…???”

Although he didn’t understand the reason for his highness to do this at all, the confused Twa still carried out Garlan’s order honestly.

When he carried the prince who was smeared with blood on his back and pretended to be in a coma, he rushed to Garlan’s palace, and he didn’t know how many people were shocked along the way.

Many people have seen Garlan’s’seriously injured’ appearance with their own eyes.

King Kamos, who received the news, immediately dropped the ongoing military meeting and hurried over with Xiemur.

The obvious panic on the Lion King’s face and the unstoppable anger emanating from the whole body made people more and more sure that the crown prince’s injury was not light.

…Is not light.

Anyway, when King Camos rushed to Garlan’s palace anxiously, as soon as he entered, he saw his brother sitting on the bed drinking milk while taking a bite of freshly baked cookies, eating and drinking sweetly. At the time, he couldn’t hold back his breath, and slapped his beloved brother on the head.

Gallan’s forehead was all red after the shot.

The priest Shamash who followed also had a stinking face and stared at Garlan blankly.

If it weren’t for repeatedly admonishing myself not to commit a crime in my heart, I’m afraid Xiemur could not help but do it.

Both the servants and the maid were driven out, and King Camos’s guards surrounded the palace tightly, and no one was allowed to approach it.

In Garlan’s dormitory, at this moment, there were only him, the magistrate, King Kamos and Xiemur.

“You mean, there are spies in Aaron Landis?”

“I think so. Whether it is the Tasda mission or the attack on Tozes by pirates, there is a man behind the scenes who is controlling it in the dark.”

Gallan said, “Maybe, even the assassination of me has traces of their actions.”

“King Camos.”

After pondering for a while, Xiemuer spoke.

“Prince Garland’s suspicion… it may be possible. During this period of time, I tracked down the assassination of the prince. Although it was indeed done by the nobles who valued bloodliness, there seemed to be a strange force beyond that. Participated in this matter.”

“Brother Wang, I don’t think you should rush to the north.”

Gallan said, “Heymos is over there. I believe he will not let the Geshurs in easily.”

Although the current situation in the Northern Territory seemed dangerous, Garland felt that as long as Heimos was there, nothing major would happen.

He continued: “I can’t act rashly right now. I pretend to be seriously injured. I want to take this opportunity to bring out the black hand behind the scenes. At the same time, Brother Wang, you can stay in the city for a few more days on the grounds of worrying about me. After seeing the real situation, decide what to do next.”

…

The situation of the battle is changing.

Because of Garlan’s’serious injury’, King Camos, who had stayed in the royal city for two more days, had secretly received the exact news of various battlefields.

After the news of Isth’s invasion of Aaron Landis’s eastern border was made public, King Camos led his troops to the east in front of everyone, declaring that he would repulse the Isths and then go north to support the Northern Army.

Because the crown prince was’seriously injured’, he only took the first legion out and left the third legion in the city to guard the crown prince.

The First Army is also known as King Camos’s Guards. It is Camos’s confidant army. It has always followed Camos in the north and south wars. It is the army with the most troops and the strongest combat effectiveness of all the corps.

The other armies are commanded by the cavalry commander, and the commander of the Guards is King Camos, and there are two cavalry commanders in charge of the army as deputy commanders.

After half a day of marching, King Camos suddenly ordered the army to turn around and make a detour to the west.

In the eyes of everyone, the prince who should have been ill in bed, after dyeing his blonde hair black, changed into a guard costume, sneaked out of the palace, and claimed to be training outside with the cavalry unit of the Third Army. The Kaihos converge.

Then, they led this cavalry force, disguised as the army of King Camos, and rushed to the east quickly.

The infantry unit of the Third Army was led by the old cavalry commander to guard the royal city.

Gallan deliberately brought Nega.

As we all know, when King Camos goes out, most of them will be accompanied by a lion.

The lion is the symbol of King Camos.

Therefore, relying on the big lion Nega, who is usually fierce and arrogant in front of others, and squirts around in front of Garlan, Garlan and the others successfully disguised the illusion that King Camos’s army was marching east. .

…………

a week has passed.

To the west, King Camos is showing his power in the Kamea Valley, heading towards Gasdad’s army.

To the east, Garlan and Kaihuos led cavalry troops to sneak around to the front battlefield, set up a trap, robbed the grain and grass transported by the Iraqi people to the front in one fell swoop, and cut off the Iraqi army’s food.

In the north, fine snow fluttered, and the sky gradually dimmed.

Another day passed, and a little bit late into the night, perhaps because the temperature dropped and the fine snow gradually increased.

The wind and snow obscured the sky, and the thick clouds hung high in the sky, making it almost invisible to the moon and stars. The visibility this night was much lower than before.

For most people, there is no difference between this night and weekday, but for some people, tonight is an extremely critical moment.

The Geshuren’s camp was quiet and dark. Only the wooden pillars around the guards were hung with oil lamps, and the faint light of the fire spread to the surroundings.

From a distance, the Geshurians had fallen into a deep sleep just like every night in the past.

However, in this dark and dull night, the Geshu army was secretly attacking the northern castle standing on the ground under the cover of darkness and wind and snow.

The horse’s mouth was put on a bridle, and the horse’s hooves were also wrapped in cloth, making as little noise as possible.

Beidi Castle was quiet in the night, and did not notice that countless criminals were approaching silently.

The generals in Geshu lay in ambush at the bottom of the city wall with a large army. Snow flakes fell on him, and the icy cold wind blew away almost all the heat from his body, making his lips pale.

However, at this moment his heart is fiery.

He raised his head and stared at the city wall without blinking.

This time, if he can lead the army to invade the Northland Castle for the first time, he will get the greatest merit in this war!

He will be rewarded personally by the King of Gaisu. Whether it is an official position, property, or a servant, he will be favored by countless noble ladies, and he will be regarded as a hero by everyone, and he will become an object of envy and jealousy for everyone.

When he thought of this, his heart seemed to have a fire burning in his heart, and his blood boiled with enthusiasm.

I don’t know how long it has passed before, after living like years, he finally expects the signal to appear.

Through the wind and snow, one can vaguely see a torch swaying constantly on the city wall.

He immediately let his guards light a torch and shook it vigorously in that direction.

I should have seen the torch swaying under the city wall, and the torch above was extinguished.

He suppressed his excitement and waited patiently for a while.

In the creaking sound, in his fiery gaze, the gate of this sturdy northern fortress castle lifted up little by little.

Almost unable to wait, he waved his hand and led the army into the city gate.

He galloped on his horse, his face flushed with excitement, and he rushed in with a fierce air, like a wolf leaping towards its prey.

This prestigious Northland castle has never fallen since it was built.

He will be its first conqueror!

The excited General Geshu did not see that there was someone standing on the high wall, looking down at him and his army.

The white snow fell on the silver-black armor, and the jet-black hair was scattered in front of his eyes. In the dark night, the golden-red eyes looked like burning clouds in the sky at sunset.

Huimos condescendingly looked down at the Geshu army that filed in from the city gate, his thin lips pressed slightly, and a cold smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Got the bait.
