A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 66. Chapter 66

The wind is blowing, whizzing high in the sky.

The thick clouds entangled in the sky, as if to cover the entire sky, no light penetrated, making the whole earth look lifeless, only the howling overcast wind hovered high in the sky.

The mountains are towering, standing on the ground, looking down on the ground, and a little white snow on the top of the mountain is unusually conspicuous in the gloomy sky.

The northernmost part of Aaron Landis, the mountain plateau, is the highest and coldest place in Aaron Landis, and the only place where snow can be seen in Aaron Landis.

However, the snow is only on the top of the mountain, and the plateau under the mountain is still lush. Tall trees dominated by coniferous forests such as pine and spruce cover the slopes, and deciduous broad-leaved shrubs run through it.

At the bottom of the mountain, the flat and open land is covered with short green grass. The sky is so vast that there is no end in sight.

On this wild land, dozens of miles around was deserted and uninhabited. It was supposed to be a quiet place, but at the moment it was extremely noisy. The roar of people, the neigh of steeds, and the impact of metal blades were mixed together, creating waves of war-specific noises under the gloomy clouds.

Two groups of troops in different costumes collided on the open flat ground and fought together fiercely.

Soldiers of the army in black and red leather armor held a copper buckler in one hand and an iron gun in the other. They formed teams in twos and threes to protect each other and resist the enemy.

Keng!

The heavy machete slashed heavily on the buckler. The soldiers in the white plate armor were different from their enemies. They had no shields. They held wide double-edged swords in both hands, facing the enemy in front of them heavily. Chop down.

Compared to the Aaron Landis soldiers with the lion pattern printed on the black and red leather armor, the soldiers in the white plate armor are more burly and sturdy. They have bare shoulders, arms and even their faces. They are all tattooed with terrible tattoos, making them even more fierce. When they rushed over, they suppressed Aaron Landis’ soldiers to death with their innate fierce and barbaric power.

The huge broadsword severely split the head of an Aaron Landis soldier, and the splash of blood splashed on everyone around him.

The soldiers in white armor looked like beasts, and one after another split corpses fell under their feet, and the grass under their feet had already become a muddy of blood.

Looking down from the hillside, you can see that the front end of the black and red army has been firmly suppressed by the white army, and part of the black and red has been swallowed by the white.

Although Aaron Landis’ soldiers still gritted their teeth in the face of an enemy who was stronger and ferocious than himself, the entire team had been crushed by the enemy to retreat.

Everyone can see that if this continues, the black and red army will only be defeated sooner or later.

The sound of the wind whistling, in the sky, rolled up the strong smell of blood on the earth.

Suddenly, a crisp chirp resounded across the sky.

In the gloomy sky layered by heavy clouds, a dark shadow passed by.

The hillside here is different from the hillside on the sunny side, and there is no dense vegetation. The grass and shrubs on the hillside on the backside of the sun are a lot barren, and the shallow grass and shrubs are just barely covered by horseshoes.

The dark eagle spread its wings and soared in the air. Its sharp eyes looked down on the battlefield on the earth, and the sound of its calls spread loudly in the sky.

The eagle hits the sky.

On the hillside, someone stood on horseback, raising his right arm high.

The Black Hawk made a short call again, hovering and swooping down suddenly, and suddenly gathered its wings just before hitting the person, and landed lightly on the person’s raised right arm.

It was a young man in silver and black armor. The horse underneath was majestic and strong. The thick crimson mane was swaying slightly in the wind, reflecting the bright sunlight, reflecting a bit of metal-like luster.

He was riding a horse on the hillside, and countless cavalry in armor stood solemnly behind him, quietly, except for the sound of the steed’s jet.

This cavalry, hidden on the sun-backed hillside, looked down on the army of Aaron Landis that was about to be defeated at the bottom of the mountain. His breathing became a little bit quicker, his look became a little bit fierce, and his murderous intent began to fill their eyes. .

However, even if they were almost unable to stop the fighting spirit that broke out of their chests, and no matter how savage their faces were, they still reined in their horses to stand still and stood still without the order.

The wind direction in the air changed abruptly and suddenly became a bit violent.

Almost at the same time, the hand raised by the young man suddenly moved forward, and the black eagle flapped its wings and flew towards the sky.

The young man in silver and black armor raised his hand, his hand held up straight in the air.

It seemed to be a signal.

Suddenly, a flag was raised high.

The color was red like a flame burning, with pitch-black fringes, and the golden lion in the middle seemed to roar in the flames.

Not only on one side, but on the remote hillside on the opposite side, there was also a fiery red lion flag raised high and flying in the wind.

The wind lifted the pitch-black forehead, revealing the dark cyan lines on the young general’s forehead that symbolized the power of the God of War, and his raised hand pointed forward suddenly.

At this moment, like the flood bursting the bank, the knights who could not wait for a long time swarmed down.

The young general Yima was in front of him, and the steed under him was galloping forward like an arrow from the string, and the crimson mane flew in the sun to reflect the blood-like luster. Countless knights followed behind him and swooped down.

The white-clad soldiers who were about to defeat the enemy and win the victory suddenly felt the shaking of the earth, and the roar like a landslide sounded on both sides of them.

They subconsciously raised their heads to look, and then found in horror that on the hillsides on both sides of them, there were countless knights surging down like a torrent.

Countless horseshoes stomped on the ground, as if shaking the whole earth.

Those knights swooped down from top to bottom, like two sharp daggers, just in an instant, they easily pierced through the wings on both sides of their army, tore their formation, crushed them and they would get it soon. Victory.

And at the forefront of the rushing torrent, the young general who led the soldier made the Gaishu soldier wide open, revealing a look of astonishment.

“black Knight!”

“Why is that black knight here?!”

“Ah, it’s impossible—”

They looked at the man and uttered a cry that was extremely angry, but with a trace of fear.

The Gaishu commander who was escorted in the military center gritted his teeth with hatred.

“Despicable Aaron Landis…”

Then, he could only watch his army completely torn to pieces by the surging cavalry.

The black-armored knight led the cavalry behind him like a hurricane, stranding the flesh and blood of the enemy in the terrible hurricane. His figure slaying on the battlefield made the soldiers who are accustomed to being brave and fearless, and the soldiers who are accustomed to be brave and fearless, are scared. .

Since the evil god came here, countless soldiers have died in his hands, and their bones can pile up into mountains.

This powerful knight has made him famous by covering countless flesh and blood of soldiers.

[The Black Knight of Hell]

This is what the Geishians called the young knight who made them tremble.

…………

A tragic battle came to an end, the sky was still gloomy, and the strong smell of blood lingered on the battlefield.

Aaron Landis’s soldiers are still cleaning the battlefield, gathering the remains of their companions, capturing enemy deserters, and taking in enemy soldiers who surrendered.

At the edge of the battlefield, the general Aaron Landis who commanded the battle stood on the grassland, his steed standing leisurely beside him, his crimson mane undulating like waves. After a great battle, the fine beads of sweat oozing from its body wetted its thin skin, wetted its mane, and at first glance it looked like blood-red sweat.

He has short hair that is as dark as the night, and the tips of the hair are moistened with sweat and cling to the cheeks. A drop of sweat slowly slid down his honey-colored skin on his cheeks, into the hair near his ears.

[The Black Knight of Hell].

This young man who was called by the enemy just now on the battlefield has a handsome face that is extremely inconsistent with his title. Even a smear of blood and dust on his cheeks cannot hide his eye-catching gem-like appearance. appearance.

The slightly raised eyebrows reveal a bit of rebellion, but they also give people a feeling of extremely firmness. The golden-red eyes are like the color of the sky. Although bright, they are dyed with the color of the setting sun, and they have a deep feeling that people can’t see through.

He has a long body, broad shoulders and narrow waist, covered with blood-stained silver-black armor, and his bare arms are tightly muscled and have distinct lines.

The bloody wind whizzed past him, raising the black and red cloak behind him.

He stood there, his pen erect, as tough as a tall silver cedar.

As long as he stood on the ground, it seemed that no one could make him fall.

“His Royal Highness.”

The man who called the name ran up on horseback, and when he reached Huimos’s side, he reined his horse and jumped down.

It was an older man. Although he was tall, he was not strong, so instead of wearing heavy armor, he was dressed in light leather armor, with blue clothes underneath the leather armor.

The conspicuous dark blue rune pierced on his wrist clearly showed his identity as the priest of the night god.

“The last battle is over.”

Standing next to Huimos, the older man looked around the battlefield and sighed like this.

“The king has issued a transfer order, and the riding commander who will take over here will arrive soon. We are finally going back to the city.”

Huimos stretched out his hand and stroked his love horse’s mane, and the huge horse head nuzzled his hand lightly.

He raised his other hand, and his fingers with distinct joints gently stroked the jade earrings on his ears. The azure lapis lazuli earrings were smooth and round like the sky. Obviously, they had this effect when they were often stroked.

Lapis lazuli is an extremely rare gem, its color is like the sky. Aaron Landis call it the gem of the sky. It is considered to be the favorite ornament of the sun god Shamash, and it is a gem of majesty and protection. .

However, the carving of the lapis lazuli earrings looks very rough, the guardian rune is carved crookedly, and the rough carving is really inconsistent with its rare identity.

The priest of the night god looked at the lapis lazuli earrings that had been stroked so smoothly. Since the first time he saw His Royal Highness here, he had never seen His Highness take it down, and no matter what he encountered When things happen, when they are upset, when they are hard, or even when they are happy, His Royal Highness will raise his hand to stroke this earring.

At a celebration banquet, a certain dancer who was with His Highness Heimos was curious because she saw the precious lapis lazuli for the first time. When she reached out her hand in a coquettish tone and wanted to touch it, the next second, When everyone hadn’t reacted yet, that highness who always had a low expression and deep emotions directly kicked the dancer who was so coquettish that all the generals in the room were greedy, and made everyone present. The son is dumbfounded.

Because that was the first time everyone saw His Highness Heimos angry in front of everyone.

Then, among the generals, rumors spread secretly that the lapis lazuli earrings were gifted by His Royal Highness’s beloved person, and even made up many different versions of the story.

You know, when a group of big men talk about gossip, they are not inferior to women.

To be honest, he is also quite curious.

Serving the prince over the past few years, he has some understanding of the temperament of Prince Huimos.

This prince is a very strong, proud, but also very ego. In other words, the most important thing in this prince’s heart is only himself, and he will never put others in his heart easily.

But such a self-centered Prince Heimos regarded that rough lapis lazuli earrings as treasures, so I am afraid that he would pay more attention to the giver.

Who is that person?

The priest of the night god is really curious.

Huimos turned his head and looked into the distance, feeling the smooth touch of the lapis lazuli earrings touched by his fingertips, a little bit of coolness seeped into the fingertips, and a smile appeared on the corners of his lips.

At this moment, the bloody evil spirit remaining on the battlefield surrounding him seemed to dissipate a lot.

four years ago.

When he left the royal city and came to this cold and harsh Northland, the child was still a small group.

He was already twelve or thirteen years old but still looked like a child, small, short, with a slightly round face with a baby fat, too cute.

Although the child has been very resentful of his height that has not changed much…

I haven’t seen him in four years, and the child should have grown up.

It’s just that I don’t know what it looks like now.

…………

King Camos issued a king order.

Heya riding commander took over the northern army to prevent the invasion of the Geshu country.

At the same time, Prince Huimos, who had been training in the northern army for four years, returned to the royal city.

…

The bright sun shines on the earth, and the royal city by the sea is always warm throughout the year, full of sunshine, without a hint of chill.

Outside the gate of the courtyard, a maid stood guard outside. The warm sun shone on her body, and the maid yawned slightly.

The sunshine makes people feel sleepy.

The maid shook her head vigorously, thinking so, to wake herself up.

Well, at this time, you should think about His Royal Highness.

The maid squinted her eyes, and the image that emerged in her mind made her hold her face, and the sleepy bug was driven out all of a sudden.

Ahhhhh~~satisfied.

Thanks to her hard work and hard work, she stood out and was selected and transferred to the palace of Prince Garland as a member of the maid serving the prince.

It is so happy to see the beautiful young prince every morning when I wake up.

The maid thought happily with her face in her hands, and narrowed her eyes with a smile.

As a believer of Afdomir, the goddess of love and beauty, she admires and yearns for all the beautiful things in this world.

Beauty is justice.

This is the doctrine of Afdomir, the goddess of love and beauty.

Just as the maid obeyed the doctrine of the goddess she believed in and was immersed in her feelings of beauty, suddenly, a pair of dark boots appeared in her eyes with her head down.

She froze for a moment, then instinctively moved her gaze from bottom to top.

Go up… go up…

…

This leg is really long…

The maid couldn’t help expressing such emotion when she looked up.

Slender, but not thin, full and tight muscle lines on the thighs are just right.

It is a pair of slender and powerful long legs.

The believers of the goddess of love and beauty said so in their hearts.

Well, narrow waist.

Yes, I can see that there is no fat at all.

The upper body is wrapped in clothes, and there is a cloak on the shoulders, so I can’t see much, but the overall proportion of this body gives people a very good visual beauty.

Although it is still not clear whether there are chest muscles and abdominal muscles, she can also rank in the top ten among the male bodybuilders she has seen so far.

While looking up, the maid kept giving comments in her heart.

The next second, when her gaze fell on the face of the young man standing in front of her, her eyes straightened suddenly.

The great goddess Afdomir!

Is the man standing in front of me the man who was favored by you and bestowed beauty——

Oh my goddess, thank you for sending’beauty’ to the world so that your believers can feel its beauty!

Staring at the handsome face of the young man in a black short robe and strong dress, the maid who looked straight could not help expressing such emotions towards the goddess she believed in in her heart, and subconsciously piously Praise her goddess.

As for the maid’s inner activities that are full of poetry and touching, this handsome young man is completely unknown.

He asked bluntly: “Is Garlan in there?”

The praise of the goddess in my heart was interrupted, and the maid was taken aback, keenly aware that the handsome young man did not use honorific words to the prince, and this attitude was very natural.

Her mind, which was touched by the’beauty’ she saw a second ago, instantly awoke, and immediately lowered her head to answer this person’s question respectfully.

“The prince is resting in the courtyard, may I ask if you are…”

Halfway through her words, she saw the young man going inside, and she quickly stopped him.

“I’m very sorry, you can’t enter without authorization…”

Halfway through her words, someone walked out of the door and interrupted her.

The Taputi female officer who appeared looked at this man with a rare look of astonishment on her face.

She asked in surprise: “Prince Hiemos?”

The maid was surprised.

Prince Huimos?

This is the other prince who is said to have gone to the Northland four years ago?

She knelt on the ground in panic and bowed her head deeply.

She didn’t dare to look up again, only to hear the conversation between the two from above.

“Obviously received the news that you will not arrive until a later date, why are you here now?”

“Taputi, it’s been a long time.” Huimos replied, “I was in a hurry.”

“Really…it’s been a long time indeed, Prince Huimos, are you here to see His Royal Highness Galan?”

“I heard his servants in the palace say that he is here.”

“Yes, Prince Huimos, His Royal Highness is indeed inside, but he is resting at the moment. And it would be a bit rude for you to break in without any notification, and it will disturb Your Royal Highness.” Even King Camos The magistrate who was also able to drive out mercilessly said, “So please leave first. I will tell your Royal Highness that you have returned, and arrange a meeting between you and Your Royal Highness at dinner.”

“…You really haven’t changed at all, Taputi.”

“You have changed a little, Prince Huimos, only the recklessness and rudeness have not changed.”

Thus, the kneeling maid heard her boss oust Prince Huimos mercilessly, and then she was praised by the always stern magistrate.

“You are doing a good job. No matter who you are, you can’t easily break into the place where His Highness rests without the permission of His Highness, and you will do the same in the future.”

“Uh, yes, yes, Master Tapti.”

However, the Taputi magistrate had some doubts in her heart.

Prince Huimos left so easily… I always felt something was wrong.

…………

Of course it is impossible to give up so easily.

For Heimos, who rushed back overnight to meet the child one day earlier, it was impossible for the magistrate to wait until the evening just because of a few words.

After leaving Tapti’s sight, he made a circle and walked to the tall stone wall on the other side.

Looking around, there was no one, so he jumped up, climbed over the stone wall in a few strokes, and landed in the courtyard inside the wall vigorously.

He looked around, and even though he had been away for more than four years, the courtyard had not changed much, and the sight was full of familiar scenery.

The clear stream turned a bend, flowing slowly from a distance, and there was only the sound of running water in the quiet courtyard.

The memory instantly rushed to his heart, and Heimos walked along this flowing stream, an indescribable feeling overflowed little by little, filling his chest, and inexplicably more hesitating.

Near nostalgia.

Four years later, the little child in his memory should now have grown up to become a teenager.

Like him, there have been great changes.

I don’t know what it looks like.

…

But no matter what the child became, he thought, he could recognize him at a glance.

Hiemos heard the sound of clear water splashing, which was the sound of clear water splashing on the jade.

He looked up.

Dense emerald green olive trees stand on the green grass, interlacing light and shadow, forming a greenery in the bright sunlight.

The olive tree standing in an arc half surrounds an oval pool, and the snow-white jade carved with patterns is piled up to form a very beautiful rockery. The clear water falls from the rockery, splashes on the jade, and splashes on the pool. middle.

Under the dense olive trees, a young man was lying on the velvety grass, as if sleeping.

He was lying on his side, and his slender body was half sinking into the green grass, showing a semicircular arc.

He was wearing a loose and concise white short robe, slightly bent his body, his slender limbs were wrapped in green and stretched out beautiful lines in the green velvet.

The sun fell on him, reflecting his skin as white as transparent jade.

The pale golden hair, which seemed to be pure financialization, was scattered on the white neck and shoulders of the boy’s skin, and the pink traces of cherry petals on the back of the neck were faintly revealed in the hair.

The breeze blew away the long, supple blond hair, letting it spread out in large areas on the emerald green grass, with the ends scattered on the edge of the pool and immersed in the water. The lavender hyacinths by the water swayed gently in the wind, as if they were guarding the sleeping teenagers, their figures reflected in the water, as if the water was smudged with a little lavender trace.

At the time when the flowers bloom, the branches and leaves of the olive tree are full of clusters of small white flowers. When the wind blows, the tiny petals that fall from the rustle are like the finely divided snowflakes in the north, and one petal falls softly on the youth as before. On the pink lips like blooming flower buds.

The young man sleeping in the greenery is like a water and forest spirit in the form of a pure white deer.

When he slept quietly, it seemed that the whole earth fell into a peaceful sleep with him.

Hiemos stood there, he almost forgot to breathe.

As if an invisible force contained his body.

He just stood like that, motionless, his golden-red eyes deeply reflected the sleeping youth under the tree.

But in light sleep, Garlan seemed to feel the presence of others, his eyelashes moved lightly and opened slowly.

The soft golden color came out from the thin eyelashes, and it was a little sleepy.

Then he slowly got up and sat up.

Long pale blonde hair slid down on his snow-white shoulders and arms, and the tiny petals that fell from the olive tree passed by the teenager who was kneeling on the grass.

Bright sunlight fell through the branches and leaves of the olive tree on the still childish face, and the hazy golden eyes looked at Heimos.

Under the golden forehead, the crimson line outlines a pattern symbolizing the guardianship of the sun god Shamash dotted on Garlan’s white forehead.

At a glance, the Yinhong pattern was inexplicably imprinted to the deepest part of people’s hearts.

At that moment, Heymos seemed to hear the moment his heart was imprinted with the red pattern on the boy’s forehead, and could not tell whether it was because of too much pain or something else.

Hmm… I know everyone has been waiting for a long time.

So, simply merge the chapters of today and tomorrow, and today they are better together.
