A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 209. Chapter 209

The rain was still falling, soaking the whole world soaked. The moat surrounding the city was originally reduced by the Gasdad people. The water level of the moat was reduced a lot. At this moment, the heavy rain rose again, but the water surface became more and more muddy.

In the room, Huimos was standing by the window, pattering raindrops drifting in with the wind and falling on his dark hair.

He stretched out his hand, and the rain soon wet his hand.

Although the hands were soaked, they didn’t feel cold, and the rain even had a little warmth.

“Spring is beginning.”

An veteran general in armor stood on one side, expressing such emotion.

Winter in Aaron Landis has always been short, and it will pass in a blink of an eye.

At this moment, spring has returned to the earth with the warm spring rain.

The veteran watched the drifting spring rain outside the window, feeling a little lost for a while.

He didn’t come back to his senses until Huimos turned around and cast his gaze over, and smiled ridiculously.

“Sorry, your lord, when people are old, it is easy to hurt the spring and sadness… alas…”

The veteran sighed.

He was the riding commander Novi who stayed behind in the royal city. He followed the first king on the battlefield since he was young. After the death of the first king, he followed King Camos, and was later promoted to the Cavalry Commander and commanded the Third Army.

I thought that people would be able to retreat safely and steadily in their later years, handing over the command of the Third Army to the young people, and taking care of themselves quietly. Who knows…

That battle.

That fiasco.

The faith of the Aaron Landis people has fallen.

Let all the people of Aaron Landis unforgettable and unhappy.

…

In the face of the approaching Gasdad, Novi has no time to grieve. He knows that only by desperately defending the king’s city can he comfort King Camos’s spirit in the sky.

He was already ready to coexist and die with the royal city.

In the past ten days, under the fierce attack of Gasdad’s army, the king’s city was shaken by wind and rain, and everyone was panicked.

Fortunately, under the leadership of Prince Huimos, they finally managed to survive.

It’s just that, although the king’s city was held fast, the atmosphere in the king’s city was extremely depressing.

The city seemed to be shrouded in the long night, drowning in darkness.

Everyone can’t wait for reinforcements, see no hope, and they all feel that this is just lingering, and it is not good that when the king’s city will be destroyed, and Aaron Landis will perish, all of them will fall into the hands of the cruel Gasdad.

In this depressed atmosphere, suddenly, a message came from Rudas City to the west.

It instantly made the dull King City boil.

The crown prince retakes the city of Rudas and will soon lead a large number of reinforcements to the city!

They have hope!

In an instant, everyone rejoiced, and the morale of the soldiers who defended the city rose sharply, even if the subsequent attacks of the Gasdad did not knock down their morale.

Even the veteran Novi, who has long been exhausted because of his age, feels that he has a lot of energy.

As long as the crown prince leads the army as soon as–

The veteran Novi stared at the rain curtain outside the window, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

He must be the first to lead his troops out!

Join the prince’s army and attack the army of Gasdade on both sides, and return all the anger and anger that have been suffered by the people of Gasdade these days!

At this moment, a rapid footstep sounded outside, from far to near.

The door was pushed open, and the brown-haired priest Shamash’s boots stepped on the wooden floor with a heavy noise, and hurried in.

At this moment, Xie Mu’er was also in armor. Even though the armor was wiped brightly by him who had a tendency to cleanliness, some blood stains were inevitably left behind.

Not only him, but the powerful Shamash priests themselves will take off their priestly uniforms and replace them with hard armor when they go on the battlefield.

During this period, the Shamash priest fighting group led by Xiemuer stood on the wall every day.

They insisted on their belief in Shamash, and their spirit was very firm. All priests would never leave the city wall unless they died in battle or the enemy retreated.

Xiemuer hurriedly walked in, frowned, and looked at Huimos.

He said: “His Royal Highness, there is something wrong with the Gasdad people.”

“What’s wrong?”

“They seem to be retreating!”

When Xie Muer said this, Novi was stunned, and everyone was surprised.

Huimos was taken aback for a moment, and then with a thoughtful look, he walked out quickly.

The other people in the room naturally followed suit and filed out from the door.

A group of people quickly walked up the city wall.

The walls were also noisy at the moment, and the soldiers who solemnly guarded the walls in the past couldn’t help but talk to each other in low voices, looking into the distance, their faces were both surprised and surprised.

Huimos, Novi and others looked at the past from a distance on the city wall.

In the drizzle, the huge camp in the distance was shrinking and disappearing. The Gastards are pulling out the camp, and part of the army has even set off and left the camp.

“Their commander, the prince Tyre is quite decisive.”

Novi shook his head and said, “Knowing that you can’t attack the city, if you stay in a stalemate, you will be attacked by both sides, so I resolutely abandon the siege.”

His face was unwilling, and his eyes were full of regrets.

“It’s just a pity that I can’t kill the prince of Gasdade personally to avenge my king.”

The veteran sighed sighfully.

The king’s city is defended, and the result is already very good.

He is too greedy.

Now, they only need to wait quietly for Prince Garlan to return to the royal city.

After investigating the movement of the Gasdad army, in order to avoid this being the other party’s trick, everyone strengthened their guard against the city wall and monitored the movement of the Gasdad who had left the camp.

Then they returned to the chamber of the royal palace.

“What are they going to do next?”

Xiemur frowned and said, wiping his wet hair with a towel.

“I don’t think they will quit Aaron Landis easily.”

“But they have limited food and grass, maybe they plan to go back and meet the Prince’s army first?”

The head of the Royal Knights guessed.

The veteran Novi shook his head: “If you replace me, the top priority is to raise grain and grass. I think they are likely to attack other large cities with grain and grass…”

Just as everyone was discussing the next whereabouts of the Gasdad people, Huimos, who had been pondering, suddenly spoke.

“No, their marching direction doesn’t seem to be turning back.”

He said,

“Perhaps, they are…”

Just this time, a guard passing the news rushed in and knelt in front of Hiemos.

“His Royal Highness, Gasdad’s army bypassed the royal city! To the east!”

“what–?”

“Go around?”

Everyone was immediately astonished.

“East? What are they going to do in the East?”

Hiemos stood there, his dark forehead was wet with a thin layer because of the drizzle on the city wall just now, and there was a bit of cold water at the moment.

The golden red eyes narrowed slightly, and the cold light flickered in them.

He said: “In the east, the army of Isth is still on the eastern border, and there is only one Fourth Army guarded there.”

Veteran Novi stood up abruptly.

“No! The Gastadians plan to bypass us and join forces with the army of Isth!”

The strength of the Fourth Army was less than that of the Islamic Army, and it was only by virtue of the strong fortresses and walls built on the eastern border, as well as the advantage of the high terrain to block the attack of the Islamic Army. If the Gasdad attacked from the rear, the 4th Legion, which had lost its geographical advantage and had insufficient strength, would surely be destroyed by the attack of both Ith and Gasdad!

Moreover, the Fourth Army guarded the eastern border all the year round, and naturally a lot of food and grass were hoarded. As long as the Gastards defeated them, they would no longer have to worry about food and grass.

“Send the letter immediately! Let the Fourth Legion be on alert!”

“Ma sent a letter to His Royal Highness Prince Wang! Ask him to speed up to the east!”

…………

In the drizzle of drizzle, a huge army was marching along the main road towards the southeast of the city.

Looking at it from this side, the densely packed roads are full of people, and the long army can’t see the end at a glance.

The flags symbolizing the different patterns of each family are held high in different armies, and at the forefront of the army, the flame-like red lion flag with a gold pattern is flying in the rain, as if leading everyone forward.

A black eagle spread its wings and hovered in the rain. It looked down at the black crowd on the ground, occasionally making a long cry.

“His Royal Highness, there is news from Wangcheng.”

Kaleni said solemnly, “The Gasdad gave up attacking the royal city and bypassed the royal city and marched eastward. It seems that they are planning to defeat the Fourth Army together with the Issi.”

He said, “We must speed up the march and rush directly to the east to rescue the Fourth Army.”

Garlan was riding on the horse, and the blond hair slightly wet by the drizzle was scattered on his shoulders, even in the rain, it seemed to be shimmering.

He lowered his eyes, as if he was groaning.

Then he raised his head and looked east.

In that direction, the Gasdad army that bypassed the king’s city was rushing towards the Fourth Army.

“Please give an order immediately to turn the army around and rush to the east.”

Kaleni said.

…

………………

The retreat of Gasdad’s army made the king’s city full of joy, and the people were ecstatic.

The dark clouds pressing on the top of the head finally dissipated, and there is no need to listen to the screams and screams coming from the city wall every day, always feeling frightened.

If it weren’t for the royal city is still under strict control and no one is allowed to move, the people can’t wait to give up the celebration.

However, the opposite of the relaxed and joyous atmosphere in the royal city is the heaviness in the royal court.

Unlike the people who only knew that the king’s city was safe, the generals here knew that Aaron Landis was still in crisis, and all of them were thinking heavily.

There is no extra force in the royal city to pursue it. We can only hope that the Prince’s army can rush to the east to rescue the Fourth Army in time, or the Fourth Army can support it for a while.

“As long as the Fourth Legion supports it for a period of time, the army of His Royal Highness Garlan will be able to arrive.”

Novi said in a deep voice, “As long as it can hold…”

He looked at Huimos.

“His Royal Highness, we should send a letter to… Your Royal Highness as soon as possible?”

For some reason, Hiemos hasn’t said a word since just now.

He was sitting on the dark wooden chair, his head bowed, his thin lips pressed tight. Scattered black hair scattered around the corners of his sharp eyes, and his eyes seemed to be covered with cold light.

He raised his eyes and swept across the crowd slowly.

He said: “What if their goal is not the East?”

“what?”

“Didn’t they go east?”

That handsome face looked at everyone blankly at this moment.

“If that Tyr is playing a trick of hitting the west…seemingly going to the east, and suddenly turning to the north during the march, what should I do?”

“this……”

“I just received the news.”

Huimos’ eyes were cold.

“The Gastards have changed their marching direction on the way. The target of their attack was not the Fourth Army in the East, but the Second and Fifth Army in the North.”

His voice seemed to reveal a hostility at this moment.

“The object of their alliance is not the Issi people, but the Geshurs in the north.”

At this moment, the whole meeting room was silent.

…………

……………………

When the city was besieged, the drizzle in the early spring kept pattering and pattering. Although not big, it was endless, so that people were soaked all over, with a little warm damp, which made them accustomed to the cold. The Stard people are extremely uncomfortable.

After going all the way north, the rain became less and less, and gradually disappeared.

The climate is also cooler than that in the royal city, which makes the Gasdad people feel much more comfortable.

After many days of rapid march, Tyre led Gasdad’s army to the north.

He rode at the forefront of the army, looking at the past from a distance, the outline of the northern fortress was looming.

A cool wind blew Tyre’s silver-white forehead, blowing the white cloak behind him.

Knowing that the attack on Aaron Landis had failed, he decisively chose to leave.

Just before leaving, made a vain move.

If Aaron Landis had caught his blindfold, then the army of Prince Garlan should be on the way to the east.

Even if something was wrong in the middle and turned around to chase him, Aaron Landis was already a step late.

And what he must do now is to take advantage of the time difference between the few days and join forces with the Geshurs to smash the Northland Fortress.

Tyre stared scorchingly at the looming outline of the male city in the distance.

Although the Northland Fortress is a majestic gate for the Geshurs, it is extremely difficult to attack, but the Northland Fortress sits on a geographical advantage.

It would be much easier to attack from the back, not to mention being attacked by two sides this time.

As long as he and the Geshurs join forces to capture this northern fortress and occupy Aaron Landis, the male city guarding the northern border. Then, not only the problem of food and grass has been solved, he can still go south at any time to attack, and retreat can defend at the northern fortress.

He can sit in this city and join forces with the Geshurs to devour the northern land of Aaron Landis little by little, and at the same time open up the channel connecting Kanal, and there will never be a broken road or lack of food and grass. Case.

The sun is about to set, and the red sunset is shining on Gasdad’s army.

Suddenly, a loud call cut through the sky.

Among Gasdad’s army, a general who was riding behind Tyre subconsciously looked up and saw an eagle hovering in the sky, then fluttered and flew away.

Seeing the eagle flying away, he also retracted his gaze.

Going over the hill in front, it’s not far from the Northland Fortress.

Suddenly, he saw several scouts rushing from the front on horseback.

“Your Highness!”

The leading scout cavalry rushed in front of Tyre and said hurriedly, “There is an army in front of us, stopping in front of our army!”

Is it the Aaron Landis Army garrisoning the Northland Fortress?

The general thought so in his heart.

Did the Aaron Landis take the initiative? Shouldn’t it? Since they are less than one-third of our strength, the Aaron Landis should be huddled in the city.

Suddenly, another loud eagle sounded in the sky, and the eagle he had seen just now appeared in his sight again.

The jet-black long wing flapped its wings and drew a black arc across the fiery red sky, and swooped down to the other side.

His eyes fell involuntarily following the arc.

On the opposite side, on the fiery red horizon, in the setting sun that shining half of the sky, a black army stood on the ground.

The black eagle swooped down, spread its wings, and landed lightly on the arms raised by the young man who was riding a horse in front of the army.

The lion flag with gold stripes on a red background was erected high behind the boy, and his long golden hair flew like a cloud behind him.

A majestic lion stood beside him, with his brown mane draped in the afterglow of the setting sun, undulating in the wind like waves.

Tillema stopped moving forward.

In his expectation, the army of Prince Garlan, who should have been behind them, suddenly appeared in front of him at this moment.

He looked at the opposite, his lavender pupils reflected the sunset on the horizon, and also reflected the bright blonde hair flying in the fiery sunset.

Garland, the prince of Aaron Landis.

Prince Tyr of Gasdade.

This is the first official meeting between the two on the battlefield.

Suddenly, there was a roar.

Came through the sky.

The roar of the lion seemed to shake the whole earth.

Sorry, the first ten chapters were revised because the name of the slave general was accidentally written incorrectly.

So I had to modify it all
