The cold-bloodedness of the Wolf King was admired by Reggie, but also made him feel scared. As a puppet king, if he wanted to stand up, he had to make a desperate move and not hesitate in the face of all the sacrifices and costs.
But if Reggie faced the same situation as Asalon, he would never abandon the lives of his wife and children. As the leader of a country, this is an insurmountable difference between them.
After taking a bath and changing his clothes, Asalon regained the magnanimity a king should have and talked about his past experiences. Only then did Reggie learn the true history of the Wolf Kingdom.
When Asalon's grandfather, the fifth king of Benlang Kingdom, was young, the king still had absolute control over the entire country. Naturally, the royal capital, Sirius City, would not be built in such a shabby place, but in Benlang.
The heart of the country, the shores of Tianlang Lake.
Sirius Lake was once the largest lake in the entire continent. What is commendable is that it is a freshwater lake. Because it is connected to the Blackwater River and the Prancing Horse River, the huge Sirius Lake has an inexhaustible water source and the vast grassland feeds
With countless shepherds and livestock, the prosperous Sirius City can even rival the Lion City.
But in the late period of the Fifth King, Tianlang Lake gradually dried up. No one knew the reason. They only knew that the grass was withering, the ponds were disappearing, and the livestock were dying in groups.
The population of the royal capital is getting smaller and smaller, and life is becoming more and more difficult. The old king must find a new way out. According to the tradition of the werewolves, occupying and plundering is undoubtedly the best choice. After careful consideration, he chose the White Wolf
He asked the two wolf kings to contribute half of their land to build a new royal capital for him.
Of course, these two wolf kings would not agree to such excessive demands, and the fifth king was also ready for a battle. In the history of the Benlang Kingdom, this was a common occurrence. Eating meat, drinking, and beating the wolf king was almost a common occurrence in all dynasties.
The daily life of a king.
The Fifth King knew the strength of the two wolf kings very well, but he did not understand his own strength. He thought he had an army of fifty thousand, but in fact he had less than thirty thousand soldiers, and they were all dandies who did not know how to fight.
If there is less water and grass, there will be fewer livestock, and if there is a smaller population, there will be fewer soldiers. The king will not understand such a simple truth, but he has not experienced such a dilemma.
He was used to the praise and flattery of his retainers, and he was used to their lies and deception. With a vulnerable army, the old king went to war with the two wolf kings. After a nightmare battle, the old king almost lost the battle.
everything.
He returned to Tianlang City, preparing to guard the increasingly deserted land for the rest of his life. But what he didn't expect was that the never-ending wind and sand not only took away his grassland, but also constantly eroded his royal capital, which was extremely strong.
In just a few years, Tianlang City turned into ruins, and the reason behind this came from an evil creature called the Sand Demon.
The sand demon can swallow up water sources and cannibalize buildings. The fifth king, who was poor and sick, was still thinking about fighting the sand demon before he died. However, his son, the sixth king, was much wiser. He chose to migrate and brought a few people with him.
The retainers and children were begging among the various wolf kings for survival.
In the end, the Black Wolf King took them in and built a castle on a hill, which eventually became today's Sirius City. The Sixth King lived to the age of sixty with his excellent mentality. His son Asalon began to remember
From that day on, he has been under the threat of the Black Wolf King and has survived until today.
Reggie had always thought that animals that had been kept in captivity since childhood would not know how to resist, and the same was true for humans who were completely enslaved. But Asalon was a special case. He had endured for more than thirty years, waiting for the chance to turn over. He learned a lot of military knowledge
Knowledge also placed a spy next to the Black Wolf King. In addition, he also found a way out of the royal capital, even though this road was so disgusting.
According to his suggestion, Reji set fires in the east, west, and north directions of Sha Yanglin. On the south side of Yanglin, Reji left the only exit and deployed all his troops, waiting for the Black Wolf King to surrender.
.
Sand poplar is a unique tree species in the Benlang Kingdom, and it is also the only tall tree that can grow in the desert. Legend has it that this tree has the blood of dragons flowing in it, and it can thrive as long as there is a little bit of water. And it
A large number of fallen leaves are produced every year, and these leaves will eventually rot into soil and cover the surface with yellow sand.
In the world that Reggie lived in, sand poplar was definitely a precious tree species that transformed the desert. Seeing the poplar trees turned into charcoal, Reggie felt really sad.
Asalon couldn't understand Reggie even more: "I heard that you never blinked when you killed people, but I didn't expect that you would feel sad for the trees."
Reggie said: "It depends on who is killed. At least these trees have never deceived me, let alone hurt me."
In the dry climate of the desert, the fire spread deep into the poplar forest at an alarming speed. Three hours later, a cavalryman rushed out of the woods.
Asalon was not exaggerating. The horses of the Black Wolf Cavalry were incredibly fast. One hundred cavalrymen rushed in front of Reggie in less than fifty breaths.
Unfortunately, before that, they encountered one round of artillery fire and two rounds of grenades. When they rushed in front of Reggie, there were less than twenty cavalry left.
They were faster than the Cambrian Knights, and perhaps more capable than the Cambrian Knights, but their defensive capabilities were much worse than the Cambrian Knights. Amidst the gunfire, the remaining dozen or so cavalry fell to the ground one after another, giving
Reggie left behind many fine war horses.
The purpose of this force is to explore the road, and now they have proved one thing with their lives, this road is too dangerous.
But the Black Wolf King had no other choice. If he broke out from other directions, he and his soldiers would probably be choked to death by the thick smoke before passing through the sea of fire.
This is a difficult choice, either rush to the south and fight to the death with Reggie, or choose another direction and gamble on your luck. Of course, you can also do nothing and wait for it to rain.
Half an hour later, the Black Wolf King made a decision. He led the cavalry out of the woods from the south, but his speed was not fast because he was not here to fight, but to negotiate.
"Your Majesty Asalon, where are you?" the Black Wolf King shouted loudly, "If you are still the king of the werewolves, if you still bleed the blood of the werewolves, stand up for me immediately!"
After speaking, the Black Wolf King asked the soldiers to bring Asalon's wife and son to the front of the military formation.
Upon hearing the news of the king's escape, the Black Wolf King immediately captured his wife and children. He thought that the king might defect to Reggie Victor, but he did not expect that the king knew the location of his garrison.
He treated him as a pure puppet, but he didn't expect that Asalon spent more than ten years planting a spy beside him.
"Stand up, Asalon! Otherwise I will kill your son immediately, and let the soldiers take turns entertaining your wife!"
"Go ahead and do it, Biamba (the name of the Black Wolf King)!" Asalon shouted loudly, "That boy is not my son, and that woman is not my wife!"
