The sun was shining, and there was a hustle and bustle outside the city of Alto. Seven thousand guardsmen broke out of camp and marched south, their white-gold cloth armor shining in the wilderness. The heavy bronze cannon was mounted on a cannon cart and towed forward by the civilian men accompanying the camp.
The Black Wolf's flag was flying high, and five hundred personal guards were tightly guarding it. Accompanied by the warrior chief, Shulot climbed a hill. There were many tall rag trees on the hill, and some blooming dahlias. And between the tall trees and
Among the flowers, a solitary grave stood quietly. There was a wordless stone tablet erected on the solitary grave, but in the center, an abstract rose was engraved.
The king stood there, silently staring at the solitary grave. He did not approach or speak. He just watched a hummingbird dancing lightly among the flowers and the solitary grave. Until the sun slanted slightly and the shadows of the trees covered the tomb.
The hummingbird pecked the abstract rose lightly, as if giving a last kiss, then fluttered its wings and suddenly flew into the distance.
The king smiled tenderly, turned around, and buried everything in his heart. His heart became harder and harder, making up for the last shortcomings and letting go of the last softness. Only after the sacrifice of life can the true king be born.
.
"Let's go!"
"As you command, Your Highness."
The two of them walked quietly down the mountain. The guards were surrounded by clanging bronze armor. When they reached the bottom of the mountain, the king spoke calmly.
"When did the envoy sent to the Gyeonggi Army set out?"
"Your Majesty, we set out last night and should be here by now."
Bertard raised his head and looked at the noon sun. The envoys in the army were all good at running. Their legs were tied tightly with gauze and they could run more than two hundred miles in a day and a night. Of course, the next day
Take a break or change someone.
"Um."
The king nodded and looked towards the south with a solemn expression.
"The army goes south, traveling forty miles a day! I will reach Kuramo City within five days!"
"I obey your will, Your Highness."
Changfeng traveled hundreds of miles south and arrived at the military camp of the Gyeonggi Army.
In the big tent, a row of bronze-armored guards held bronze axes and looked solemn. Jaguar Orosh sat cross-legged in the main seat, frowning, listening to the scout's reply. He had just read out the king's order and ordered the entire army to move out
, the scout met a nearby civilian warrior, who reported that the Crow family ahead wanted to rebel.
"Is there anything unusual happening in the Crow family?"
"Captain, since early in the morning, the warriors of the Crow family have gathered, and the militiamen of the territory are also recruiting."
"act recklessly!"
Jaguar Orosh's eyes widened and he roared angrily.
"These damn southern nobles actually dare to assassinate His Highness! The legion attacked and surrounded the Crow Manor! I will wipe them all out and sacrifice them to the Lord God!"
Hearing this, Puap of Huitu and Orta, the head of the Sky Family, looked at each other. Puap made a mouth gesture, but Orta did not respond. Puap could only step forward on his own.
"Dear Captain Orosh!"
"Captain Puap, what do you want to say?"
Jaguar glanced at Huitu fiercely and said coldly.
"I heard that you have received a lot of benefits from the Crow Family. Do you want to intercede for the Crow Family?"
Huitu's back was sweating. He forced a smile.
"Captain, these are all small items worth mentioning. I will send them to you when I get back. The Crow family has always been respectful, so they should not be unable to see the general trend... The key now is His Majesty's royal order. Damn it.
The leader of the Zicao clan dared to assassinate His Highness! We Prepecha warriors are all indignant. Your Majesty is our sun!... The Zicao family has guarded the south for generations and has been operating in Kuramo City for a long time. Although General Etalik is brave,
But after all, there are only a thousand people..."
"Puap, what on earth do you want to say?!"
The jaguar stood up and stared at the dust, its strong body bringing oppression.
"...Captain, the Qin Congcan Warrior Camp is requesting orders to go south immediately to attack the Zicao Family!"
"Exactly! Captain, please give me another half day! Crow Clan Chief Sitley is on his way back to attend His Majesty's banquet. Although he is old, he is quite agile and can arrive tonight at the latest. Even if the Crow Clan has
People are confused, and the old patriarch will not be confused, and he dares to resist the king's army... In addition, the Sky Warrior Camp also requested orders to go south immediately to attack the Lithospermum family!"
The head of the Sky Family, Horta, took a step forward and asked respectfully. He was born into a glorious noble family. Although he was young, he led loyal Sky Family warriors. In addition, he surrendered to the kingdom earlier and married a noble girl from Mexico.
...In the Gyeonggi Army, his words carry more weight than dust.
"Horta, if you ask, I will wait another half day!"
Jaguar pondered for a while and nodded. Although he was angry at the assassination of the southern nobles, he would not go on a killing spree and delay the business. The key to the Eastern Route Army was in Kuramo City. Jaguar looked at the two men
, make a decision.
"Since you two asked for orders, I will give you a chance to make a contribution! Puap, you take two thousand troops to attack the Lithospermum Manor! Horta, you go to support Kuramo City! Remember, the Lithospermum family,
The crime is unforgivable, don’t leave Gulamo!”
"As you command, Commander!"
The two of them knelt down to salute, and turned to leave at the same time. The Jaguar stared at the two men's backs with fierce eyes until they disappeared outside the tent. His Highness was assassinated, and he also felt sorry for these two battalion commanders who were born in Prepecha.
Suspicions arose. But His Highness was safe and sound, the kingdom was still as stable as a mountain, and no legion dared to launch a rebellion and bring about their own destruction.
Thinking of this, Jaguar sat back in the tent again. He looked at the armored warriors in the tent, pressed the armor under his shirt again, and whispered to himself.
"Then just wait! Let's see how they perform!"
Outside the tent, Puap walked forward with his head sullenly, while Horta hurried behind. After the two of them walked hundreds of steps, Horta sighed quietly.
"Huitu, how could this be? How dare Gulamo assassinate His Majesty!"
"Hmph, Horta, he is a poisonous snake. Only you, the woman he sent has deceived your mind! And you even got me involved!"
"I have sent my personal guards back to Gyeonggi to kill them all."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Horta argued feebly, still feeling a little reluctant in his heart. The noble daughter of the Mexica is so tall and imposing, how can there be a member of the Lithospermum family?
Beauty is gentle and obedient, understanding emotions and interests.
"Huitu, the biggest problem now is the secret letter we wrote to him! At that time, we agreed to help each other, but how could we expect that he would dare to launch a rebellion and assassinate His Majesty! And it has not succeeded yet!"
"Damn it! I can't even read, but I just drew some pictures and words, so there's no point in forming an alliance with him!"
Puap suppressed the anger in his heart, looked around, and roared in a low voice.
"At that time, His Majesty traveled thousands of miles north and didn't know when he would return. I was confused, so I was pulled by you to enjoy his beauty together and wrote a letter to communicate with each other! It wasn't you, I and such a great noble
I can’t get on the line. You’ve screwed me over!”
"Huitu, that's not what you said at that time! When you were drunk, you didn't say that the chief was very kind to you. If His Majesty didn't come back from the northern expedition, we would support Prince Tarasco together..."
"Shhh!!"
Huitu Puap covered Sky Horta's mouth.
"Do you want to die! How dare you say such things in the military camp!"
"Isn't this already at the head of your camp?"
"My battalion leader is also your Majesty's warrior! Warrior Qin Congcan has been surrendered for many years. He believes in the main god, accepts military merits, and his family is in the royal capital... If they report to the war priest..."
Hearing this, Horta lowered his head and remained silent. Although his Sky Warrior camp was slightly better, it was entrusted by His Majesty and taught by priests. It was deeply penetrated by the kingdom and could no longer be regarded as a family force. After a while, he
Whisper to yourself.
"Huitu, we were just chatting. We'll just have to pay attention in the future."
"Haha, that will have to happen later."
Huitu Puap's face was gloomy.
"Because His Highness was assassinated, the leader of the regiment had murderous intentions towards us in the tent today."
"Ah? Huitu, did you see it wrong?"
Horta was suddenly moved. He didn't notice it at all.
Huitu Puap glanced at Horta coldly. In fact, to be precise, the leader's murderous intention today should be directed at him. Because Horta really did not pose any threat, it was easy to clean up.
"Horta, the words you have said and the things you have done will always leave a trace."
Huitu thought for a moment and his expression became fierce.
"This time we asked for orders to go south just to buy time! We must clean up everything before His Majesty goes south!"
"Well, that's true."
Orta nodded, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Huitu, calculate the itinerary, Gulamo is probably in this area. Should we send warriors to search..."
"No. Gulamog must have gone south, or even returned to the fiefdom."
Huitu shook his head. He looked towards the south and said in a deep voice.
"If he can do such a big thing as assassinating His Majesty, he must be prepared to fight to the death. We will set off immediately, bypassing the Crow Family's manor, and go straight to Kuramo City to kill!"
"Okay! I'll send an envoy to the Crow Family, and the army will go south immediately! Gulamo must be killed!"
The two Prepecha generals looked at each other, stretched out their arms, and held each other. Their faces were full of unconcealed murderous intent, not for the kingdom, but for themselves.
"Quack! Quack!"
As the sun set, a crow flew across the sky, emitting a death cry. It looked down curiously, and saw that there were people similar to itself on the manor. And under the vigilant eyes of the crow family, four thousand Prepechas
The samurai hurried south along the edge of the manor, raising clouds of dust and covering the sky.
