A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 75. Chapter 75

After staying in the royal city of Aaron Landis for a few days, the Tasda mission embarked on a return journey. The Tasdas left this majestic and prosperous city on horseback along the avenue with the farewell of the citizens of the city. However, the people watching the excitement on both sides of the road did not know that they were two of Aaron Landis. The prince also followed the mission on the road to Tasda.

Due to security and other considerations, as well as Garlan’s request, the news of their trip to Tasda was only known to a small group of people in the upper ranks of Aaron Landis. King Camos issued a strict order prohibiting the spread of the news.

Behind the Tasda mission are five hundred sturdy and powerful Guards cavalry, who follow the name of the escort mission unhurriedly.

The citizens of Wangcheng did not know that their prince was sitting in a carriage in their farewell team.

It was not until they were out of the royal city, far away from the lively places, and on the road where they were driving, that Gallan and the others got out of the carriage and rode on their own horses.

Of course, although it is a avenue far from the city, there are still people coming and going, but as long as you put on a cloak, a hood, and look at it, no one will see it.

Heymos’s mount was naturally captured and brought back in the north, with a reddish-brown haired steed. At this moment, it is walking slowly, and the well-matched muscles also show a streamlined texture, as if every place shows strength, both soft and strong.

Garlan’s mount was a white pony that King Camos gave six years ago. Six years later, the pony has grown into a tall and fit horse. Its hair is white, without any variegated color, and when the sun shines, it looks like a silver frost. This handsome white horse has a pair of azure blue eyes, like sapphires, coldly reflecting the shadow of the sky.

It doesn’t seem to be relatives, and when you stop there, it gives people a very high-cold feeling. Only when Garlan touched its neck, it rubbed Garlan’s hand with a reserved expression.

These two horses naturally won the praise of the Tasdar.

Although it was tickling to watch, they all knew that once this kind of god Jun recognized the Lord, he would no longer allow a second person to approach him, so they just looked at the side, no one looked at him and wanted to ride a ride.

The Tasda Mission moved forward very fast, because almost all of them rode horses.

The Tasdars and Aaron Landis were naturally separated into two groups, but during the journey, Opada often left the Tasdar team and joined Aaron Landis on horseback. Garlan joked and moved forward side by side.

The oolong he had made at the beginning had already explained clearly to his companions. Seeing Opada approaching his beloved to show his courtesy, his companions didn’t stop him, at best he made a few kindly teasing in private.

However, what made Opada uncomfortable was naturally Heimos, who had been following Garland every step of the way.

Whenever he was on the road during the day or camping at night, as long as he went to find Garland, Heimos would be there.

Wait for Lao Tzu.

Opada thought fiercely.

When it comes to Tasda, the uncle is on his turf, let’s see how he gets that guy a meal!

However, Opada is not in a hurry anymore. Anyway, Gallan intends to go to Tasda, so he simply waits for Tasda, he wants to send all the spoils of his collection to his beloved, and then woo him.

The journey went smoothly. Although the wind, meals and sleep were not as gorgeous and comfortable as the palace, Garlan was in a good mood.

Because this is the first time he has traveled far, since that experience as a child, in the past few years, he has been able to visit those towns not far from the royal city at most.

Now, on this road north, he can pass several large cities that he has never seen before, and see a lot of local customs.

As he walked, he wondered in his heart, after Himos got married and had children, which road he should start to travel after leaving the city, which city to go first, and where to go.

This way his brain fills up the future free life, and his mood improves. These days, every day is a bright smiling face like sunshine. The happy feeling is like it can infect the people around him and let others. Looking at him, I feel better.

The only exception is probably Heimos, who followed him every step of the way, facing a certain Tasdar guarding Heimos.

Regarding Garland once said that he would be caught by Opada in Tasda as a fascination, Huymos only felt choked in his throat at the time, and wanted to get Garland’s mind to look inside. What are you thinking about?

Later, I turned my head and thought about it, in the thinking of those Tasdas with only muscles in their brains…maybe they could really do this kind of thing.

So he began to seriously think about whether to secretly mobilize the army guarding there when he entered the territory of Tasda.

Just when Garland, Huimos, and Opada were all thinking about it, on the evening of the second day after departure, just after a group of people camped under a mountain wall, they found someone with a team of cavalry. Chased up from behind.

After receiving the news, Garlan lifted the curtain and walked out of the camp quickly.

The blond knight who had just galloped up and was still looking like a wind and dust rolled over and dismounted, walked a few steps forward, walked to Gallan, then leaned over and knelt in front of Gallan on one knee.

He knelt with his head down, with one hand on his chest.

He said,

“His Royal Highness Gallan, Kaihus is here at your call.”

He was originally victorious with the army on the expedition, but when he received a call when he was approaching the royal city, he immediately left the army and hurried over here.

“Thanks for your hard work, Kaihus.”

The little prince who sent a message to his knight when he left the royal city said, stretched out his hand to Kaihuos and helped him up.

“Whenever, responding to your call is what I should do as a guardian knight.”

Kaihus said so, then raised his head and smiled at his master.

Bright blonde hair was scattered on that handsome face, and the almost iconic black eye mask covered one eye, but it didn’t damage his appearance. On the contrary, it gave him an indescribable attraction.

As soon as he raised his head, the Tasdar not far away whispered.

“Kyjos?”

“The’Knight of the Scorching Sun’?”

“It should be correct, blond, and only one eye.”

They talked to each other, and the eyes of the blonde knight showed fiery and admiration.

The Tasdas admire the strong.

Knight of the scorching sun.

The reputation of the newly born powerful knight of Aaron Landis has spread throughout the continent.

Because of the sun-like blond hair and the terrifying lethality on the battlefield like the sun’s flames, everyone gave it this title.

He followed Camos, the Lion King, fought south and north, participated in nearly a hundred battles, made great achievements and gained a great reputation.

It is said that so far, in heads-up battles with superior generals, he has not failed.

Some weak generals refused to fight against him when they met him, and even fled away watching the wind.

…And, as well as his powerful combat power on the battlefield, and his terrifying’combat power’ among the daughters of nobles in various countries.

The ladies are fascinated by them, but also broken by them.

Because this handsome knight has been playing games for many years, traveling among countless ladies, but never stopped by any woman.

‘He has the handsome and sunny appearance of the sun god Shamash, but he has the cunning of the night god, and he is ruthless. ‘

‘The turquoise eyes that look at every woman are gentle and passionate, but there is no trace of truth in those eyes. ‘

‘Like the sun, you can’t hold it when you stretch out your hand, just like a phantom, it will disappear in a flash. ‘

The ladies who loved and hated him sighed so.

‘Amorous and ruthless knight of the sun, where is the harbor you are willing to stay for? ‘

…………

At this moment, this handsome knight stood up.

He grabbed Garlan’s outstretched hand and stood up.

Although he didn’t need external force to get up, he wanted to hold that hand.

The warmth that he hadn’t felt for a long time when he touched his fingers softened the bottom of Kayjos’s eyes.

Every time he holds this hand, he can have a real sense of being on the ground with his feet on the ground.

He smiled and said, “I’m back, Your Highness.”

After speaking, he leaned over and kissed the prince’s hand, the curvature of the corners of his lips was full of warmth.

That was a word he would say every time he returned to Prince Garlan after his expedition.

Even if this place is not a royal city.

For him, the place where he can go back is not a royal city, but the place where the prince he guards is located.

“Well, welcome back, Kaijos.”

Garlan said with a smile.

Kaihus smiled, released his hand, and walked into Garlan’s camp with Garlan, talking as he walked.

“It’s nice to see that you are still healthy, Your Highness.”

“I have always been in good health. Don’t worry.” Gallan laughed twice, and he asked, “Where is Tal? He hasn’t arrived yet?”

“He is slower than me, and it may be later to get here.”

Thinking of Tal’s chubby body from childhood to large, and the appearance of the horses sweating profusely every time they ride a horse, Gallan nodded.

“Well, that’s what I said.” He said, “I made him lose weight a long time ago, and he just doesn’t lose weight.”

Taer didn’t know how many times he had lost weight since he was young. He made a vow every time, but every time he just took a walk, he collapsed on the ground and couldn’t get up. Then he immediately threw the idea of losing weight out of the sky.

Probably thinking of the same thing as Garlan, the blond knight also smiled.

Then he said directly: “So, what do you need me to do?”

“that……”

Just as Gallan was about to speak, suddenly the door curtain was lifted, and a tall brunette Tasdar strode in.

His loud voice also sounded in the camp at the same time.

“Gallan, I heard that the rumored’Knight of the Scorching Sun’ is here, let me see…”

The words came to an abrupt end, Opada’s gaze fell on a burly armor-shaped Kaijos, sweeping up and down, revealing a look of admiration.

Even if he didn’t do it, he could feel the strong iron and blood aura on the knight, which belonged to the battlefield.

The man in front of him is a powerful and dangerous guy.

Opada’s instinct told him this.

“Opada, this is my guardian knight, Kaijos.”

Gallan said, “This is Opada, the son of General Tasda, my good friend.”

He turned sideways to Kaihus and said, “I will tell you the details tomorrow.”

Then he turned to Opada: “Sorry, Opada, Kejos has been here for a long time, I want him to rest first.”

“Where, I was so abrupt, because I was a little curious when I heard that the’Knight of the Scorching Sun’ came over, so I ran over.”

Opada hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, saying that he didn’t mind.

“Then I’ll go back first, don’t bother.”

He turned and took a step, then looked back.

“By the way, Garland, we hunted an antelope in the afternoon. I plan to roast it myself. Can you come here later? The lamb I roasted is praised by many people.”

Opada said, looking at Garlan expectantly, her eyes bright.

“Tonight? Sorry, I still have subordinates coming over tonight, I’m afraid there is no time to pass.”

“So…”

Kaihus stood beside him without speaking, looking at the bright eyes of the Tasdar named Opada staring at his prince, and the look he couldn’t be more familiar with.

People often look at him with such eyes.

I see.

This Tasdar is to the prince…

The blond knight in the game flower bush looked at his master again, and groaned for a while, before turning around and leaving the camp.

After leaving the camp, he looked up and swept around the place where the Tasdar camped not far away.

The scale of the mission was not large, there were only a dozen upper-class Tasdas, and only more than a hundred Tasda soldiers escorted the mission.

After all, as a mission, if you go to his King City with too much force, it will not bring friendship but provocation. Moreover, Tasda and Aaron Landis have been close and friendly diplomatic countries for nearly a hundred years, and Tasda does not worry about what will happen to his mission in Aaron Landis.

After a rough estimate in his mind, Kaihuos quickly left.

Naturally, his guards had set up a camp for him, and there was a stream nearby. After such a long journey, he was covered in dust, and he did need to clean it.

Waiting for the blond knight to clean the dust all over his body in the river water, and when he returned to his camp with wet blond hair in the night breeze, he saw an unexpected guest waiting for him there.

He raised his eyebrows, raised his hand to lift back the dripping wet blond hair, then took a few steps forward and bowed in salute.

He asked, “Prince Hiemos, are you coming to me for anything?”

Hiemos, who was meditating in his camp, turned to look at him and gave a hum.

Kaihuos vaguely felt that the prince was not in a good mood at the moment, and seemed to be a little anxious.

strangeness.

Prince Huimos has always been the kind of person who is so calm that people can’t see his emotions.

Kaihus thought.

Unlike Garland, who had not seen Heimos for four years, he followed King Kamos and went to the North almost once a year. It was only half a year since the last meeting with Prince Heimos, so Fairly familiar with Huimos.

“Pay attention, and guard Garlan.”

Heimerston gave a moment and added.

“Don’t let the Tasdar called Opada approach him.”

He frowned, pursed his lips, and then continued to say unhappily, “It’s always so stupid, I don’t know if I’ve been sold, and I don’t even know what the other party’s idea is, so I can easily let others approach…”

I see.

I remembered the look in the eyes of the Tasdar named Opada not long ago when he looked at the little prince, what Prince Huimos said at this moment, and the situation that Tal had revealed to him before he came.

Kayjos probably guessed what the situation is now.

“Caring is chaotic.”

The one-eyed knight said so suddenly.

“Prince Huimos, whether you are or your Majesty, it is inevitable that it is difficult to make correct judgments because of too much concern for His Royal Highness Gallan.”

He said, “So, I can’t agree with what you just said.”

A word from the knight caused Huimos to turn his head, and his golden red eyes fixedly stared at him.

“……What’s the meaning?”

Kaihus chuckled lightly, his expression calm.

“Prince Huimos, you are called the’Black Knight’ in the North. It is praised by everyone and even your enemies for your strength and achievements, not a vain name.”

He paused before continuing.

“So, do you think that His Royal Highness Gallan was praised by everyone as the’wise prince’ in the royal city… Is it touted by others?”

“…”

Huimos didn’t speak, he still frowned, staring at Kayjos closely.

“The reason why your Royal Highness is praised so much is because he has always made a’wise and just judgment like the sun god Shamash’ on everything that hits his hands.”

“Yes, your Highness upholds the heart of justice and justice, this is beyond doubt.”

“But there are no black and white things in this world. In fact, the vast majority of things can’t be solved simply by the so-called fairness and justice.”

“If it’s just one thing, maybe it’s just a coincidence, but over the years, for so many things, no matter which one, His Highness can make a fair and wise judgment on it, making everyone willingly obey his judgment. ”

“It’s always been like this.”

The remaining green eyes of the blond knight drooped slightly and smiled.

“Prince Huimos, I think you should also understand that in order to do this, in addition to the’heart of justice’, there are more’intelligent eyes’ that need to distinguish between true and false, and’wisdom’ to see through everything. ‘…”

Before Kayhus had finished speaking, Huimos had already turned around, raised the curtain, and quickly left the camp.

Looking at the dangling draperies falling down, Kehos chuckled.

No matter how talented, he is still a young man after all.

The blond knight narrowed his eyes and thought with a chuckle.

However, soon, he groaned again.

That’s it for King Camos. After all, His Majesty has always been very fond of His Majesty, and His Majesty’s character is not very sensitive to this kind of things, so it’s normal not to see it.

But Prince Huimos…

As far as he knows, this person’s character has always been calm and composed, especially on the battlefield, he is almost cruelly sensible, and he is also very sensitive to things… Such a person hasn’t seen it?

There is nothing right.

Moreover, the look of Prince Huimos just now showed no calmness on the battlefield at all, it was almost like…

…As if panicked…

…………

…Is it messy if you care?

Kaihus groaned.

Although it made sense to say that, but for some reason, he always felt that things didn’t seem to be that simple.

…………

In the middle of the night, another cavalry team came to the camp.

A chubby body rolled off the horse like a ball, and then quickly rolled into Garlan’s camp.

“His Royal Highness, this is the information you asked me to collect–”

The little fat man of the year has grown into a chubby big fat man, but his chubby face is still very pleasing when he smiles.

He handed the forearm-long copper cylinder in his arms to Garlan, his eyes gleaming, like a fat puppy asking for a reward, all he had to do was sway his tail at Garlan.

“Thanks for your hard work.”

Opened the copper tube and took out the parchment paper inside, Gallan quickly scanned a few of them.

He pondered for a while, then took out one of the parchments. Because the camp was set up against the mountain wall, there was a solid stone wall on one side of his camp, and he hung the parchment paper on a curtain close to the stone wall.

It was a map, a topographical map of the border between Tastida and Aaron Landis.

Taer leaned over and pointed at two places on the hanging map.

He said: “His Royal Highness, I have checked carefully, only these two places are entrenched with thieves, and no other places have heard of thieves.”

“Is that so… what is the scale of the thieves in these two places?”

“It’s a bit bigger here, but their site is far from where you said. Well, I found all their information and write them here.”

Tarr pulled out a sheet from the pile of parchment and handed it to Garlan.

Gallan took it, looked down for a while, then looked up at the map hanging on the wall, and thought again.

Taer looked at Garlan in deep thought, and finally couldn’t help but asked in a low voice.

“His Royal Highness, are you really okay with this?”

“Um?”

“You know it, and…King Camos was very angry. Everyone in the palace was trembling when I left the palace, and Prince Huimos, who also…Are you not afraid of him being angry?”

The boy blinked, tilted his head slightly, and gave his fat subordinate a cute and sly smile.

“Isn’t it funny to see Heimos’s embarrassed appearance?”

“Although it is really hard to come by, but he…hehehehe——”

Tal’s sudden cassette tape made Garlan amused.

“Tal, although you know that you have always been afraid of Huimos, you wouldn’t be so scared to mention a name, right?”

Seeing Taer who looked at him in horror, Garlan smiled.

He wanted to say something, but before he could say it, suddenly, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind and grabbed his shoulder.

At that same moment, the extremely familiar low voice from behind made the boy’s smile instantly froze on his face.

“It’s funny to see me embarrassed… isn’t it?”

Even if he didn’t look back, he could feel the dangerous aura in the low voice.

Gallan’s smile still froze on his face, and the hand holding his shoulder tugged and pushed, turned him around, and pressed hard against the stone wall on which the map was hung.

A hand stretched heavily over the side of his head and pressed it against the rock wall.

The man’s tall body pressed over and almost enveloped the young man under his shadow.

Those golden-red eyes looked down at Garlan, with a gleam in the bottom of his eyes, and one glance made his heart tremble and his back chilled.

“Uh, that… Hiemos, I can explain it, actually…”

Garland, who was imprisoned between Heimos’ body and the stone wall, panicked suddenly.

“Do not listen.”

Huimos vetoed it in one fell swoop.

He looked down at the young man under him, squeezing Garlan’s chin with his right hand, his eyes scorching to the extreme.
