Shiloh hugged the horse's neck and refused to let go as if he had resigned himself to his fate. He said feebly: "I have no strength. I can't move. I'm weak. I can't survive running around all night. Besides, brother, you're hiding it and not saying anything.
As a result, I have no goals or motivation at all, so how can I still have the strength to move?"
The eldest prince was stunned for a moment, and then he saw through Shiloh's little thoughts. He couldn't help but sigh and said: "You kid, you are really the most rogue among our brothers... Oh, Shiro, the eldest brother will give you a gift."
The gift is related to your followers."
After saying that, he pointed with his thumb at the barbarian who had been following Shiloh, looking a little naive.
Bullock pointed to his nose and asked the eldest prince: "What's wrong, have you found a wife for us?"
The eldest prince was amused by Bullock's vulgar question, and said seriously to Shiloh: "I really can't find wives like your entourage. I guess the only one who can match them is a tigress."
Only then did Shiloh remember that the north was the hometown of the barbarians. In addition to all kinds of monsters, the Demon Fortress's main enemies were these barbaric tribal peoples and barbarians.
He cleared his throat, coughed twice, to cover up his embarrassment, and asked solemnly: "Brock, this trip just happens to allow you to return to your hometown. How about you? Do you want me to give you a few days off?"
Go back to your tribe and visit?"
Bullock scratched his head. The stupid big man who had been dumbfounded actually hesitated. The eldest prince gently pushed Shiloh and whispered: "Barbarians who leave their own tribe will be regarded as traitors, unless they are on the mainland.
If you achieve such a great reputation, you will never be able to return to your tribe in this lifetime."
Shiloh didn't expect that there were such rules in the barbarian society, and the look he looked at Bullock couldn't help but become much more complicated. No wonder the battle cry of these barbarians was "Return victorious or die in battle". Compared with being able to
Returning to the tribe with full honors must be their biggest wish.
After learning a little secret of the barbarians, Shiloh had no intention of procrastinating any longer. He stopped complaining and followed the eldest prince as he galloped towards the north. It was not until noon that he stopped in a small town.
Everyone was traveling lightly and simply, so the speed was naturally much faster. The eldest prince's wife and daughter were also slowly moving forward under the protection of the Bloody Lion Corps. According to the eldest prince, the handover of military affairs this time would take at least two days.
Three months' time.
The two brothers booked the best hotel in the town. After a brief shower, they lay down on the bed and started chatting.
"Brother, you have to be more careful this year as you are running around so much and doing a lot of military work."
"The eldest brother naturally understands that when my father transferred me to the Western Military Region, he naturally planned to make me and the second brother fight more fiercely.
The situation in Pontos will inevitably become more anxious in the future... Third brother, I really envy you, you can hide far away in the Gulf Stream Island Chain and don't have to worry about anything."
When mentioning the Gulf Stream Island Chain, Hilo couldn't help but be silent for a minute. He hesitated for a few seconds and asked aloud: "Brother, do you have any impression of my mother, Mrs. Sonia?"
The eldest prince thought for a moment and said, "I have a slight impression."
"Then what kind of person is my mother?"
"Mrs. Sonia...well, she is a very special and gentle person.
I remember, twenty years ago, when Lady Sonia had just married our father, until you were born, and Lady Sonia died in childbirth, the country and the people of Pontos were peaceful and peaceful without any war in these three years."
"People say that it was Lady Sonia's gentleness that tamed her father who loved war and was obsessed with conquest. It was also Lady Sonia's kindness that promoted the reforms twenty years ago, so that everyone can enjoy peace and have food.
Eat and have clothes to wear.”
"All in all, those three years were the best and fastest three years for Pontos' development, and they are also the three years that everyone will miss the most."
Shiloh listened carefully. He had no idea that his mother would have such great influence that even an iron-blooded king like Roddy could stop his campaign. He couldn't help but asked in doubt: "Brother, you didn't remember me?"
, my mother is just a small noble, how can she have such great ability to change my father?"
The eldest prince also pondered for two seconds, and finally shook his head silently and said: "I don't know either, but in those three years, my father really put down his weapons, seriously devoted himself to construction and development, and issued many unique and creative decrees.
, every government decree makes people marvel.
When I was young, I also met Lady Sonia... At that time, I had just lost my mother and had an extreme personality. One day, I was whipping some disobedient servants in the palace garden, and Lady Sonia happened to see me."
A special look appeared on the face of the eldest prince, which was like admiration and admiration. He paused for a long time and then said: "At that time, I thought Mrs. Sonia would scold me, but she didn't say anything.
, and hugged me and comforted me for a long time.
I still remember Mrs. Sonia solemnly telling me that violence can make others afraid, but it can never make others surrender. The most important thing in controlling people is the heart, not the weapons in your hands.
As the prince of Pontos, what you have to learn is to make others convinced, rather than to make others fearful through violence."
Shiloh listened silently, and when he heard the last sentence, his heart skipped a beat. He finally understood why the eldest prince developed such a humane character while giving such advice.
At the same time, he also secretly sighed in his heart: If his predecessor had not lost his mother when he was young, but had been raised by Sonia, he probably would not be like this now.
"Third brother, your mother is really a very special person... I'm sorry that you lost her when you were a child."
Shiloh sighed and felt quite emotional, but he could be considered a reborn person after all. He quickly regained his energy and continued to ask questions about his mother's family.
"Brother, even if my mother was just a minor noble, it's impossible that she wouldn't have left any traces. I have no impression of relatives or friends. If you know anything else, could you tell me all of it?"
The eldest prince nodded and said: "Actually, I don't know much about your mother, Lady Sonia. Twenty years ago, Lady Sonia suddenly appeared, and the emperor announced that she would be his concubine. Since then, we
Only then did I know the name Sonia."
"As for family and friends... I have never had the impression that Mrs. Sonia has rarely left the palace in the past three years. Even if she did, she only went to observe the people's sentiments. Sometimes, I suspected that your mother was a god who fell from the sky, so she had nothing in the world.
care."
As the saying goes, the speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional. As soon as he said this sentence, an idea suddenly appeared in Shiloh's mind, which scared him so much that he froze involuntarily.
Could it be that my mother is really not a human being?
In a daze, he seemed to see Roddy walking up to him with a serious face and solemnly announcing to him: "Hiro, my stupid son, your mother is inhumane!"
