A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

The drizzle was falling, and the gloomy sky was full of gray dark clouds, pressing down gloomyly, as if to crush the sky.

Although it was just a little drizzle, but when it fell on the body and was blown by the cold wind, the chill seemed to soak into the bones of the person, and the whole body was chilled.

This is one of the countless small strongholds in the long border of the northern land of Aaron Landis. It is not big, it is the size of a village.

An adobe watchtower stands on the land, the highest point on the land.Although the adobe watchtower was made of mud, it had been frozen hard during the long winter.

The cold wind whizzed past the watchtower, and the soldier who had stood on the adobe tower all morning shivered several times. Warm yourself up.

These small strongholds or small fortresses built along the border are all to guard against the Gashu Kingdom in the north. Therefore, every year when the winter is over and the food in the country is exhausted, Geshu will attack Aaron Landis and plunder food, grass and people.

In other words, in the cold winter, Geshu would not send troops.Although its soldiers are slightly more cold-resistant than Arenlandis, it is also very difficult to fight in winter.

Therefore, the sentinel of Aaron Landis did not take his duties too seriously.

Anyway, in the past ten years, Gaishu has never invaded in winter, and it will definitely not attack Aaron Landis at this time this year.

The sentinel stomped his feet for a long time, feeling that his feet were numb, but the soles of his feet were still cold, as if they were frozen in ice.

He couldn't help sticking his head out from the observation deck, stretched his neck to look down, and complained in his heart why the colleague who took over hadn't come yet.

The next moment, when he was about to turn his head back, his eyes suddenly straightened.

He opened his mouth wide and stared fixedly into the distance.

In the hazy drizzle, a large number of white figures appeared on the distant horizon, surging towards this direction.

Standing on a high place, one could vaguely see the familiar white plate armor on the cavalry rushing towards this side, and the sentinel's pupils shrank suddenly.

Without saying a word, he grabbed the cold hammer under his feet and rang heavily the bronze bell hanging outside the watchtower.

He shouted warnings to his colleagues with all his strength.

"Enemy attack! The Geshu people invaded!!"

Loud bells rang throughout the small stronghold, mixed with the roar of sentries, the stronghold that had been extremely peaceful just now became chaotic in an instant.

Soon, a team of soldiers in black and red leather armor rushed out, shouting loudly, calling their subordinates to gather.

Shouts, shouts, and the clash of iron blades echoed in this small stronghold.

Being on the border all year round, the soldiers of the Northland Legion are well-trained.In a very short time, they put on their leather armor, picked up their weapons, and gathered in front of their respective teams.

The sentinel standing on the watchtower looked down and the hundreds of colleagues who had assembled, and then looked up at the Geshu cavalry who were getting closer.

The cold white plate armor in the drizzle, at a glance, there are a total of two thousand people.

The sentinel opened his mouth, but no sound came out of his throat.

Thinking of his elderly parents at home, his eye circles were slightly red.

He was afraid... he would never be able to return to his hometown and serve his old family.

This thought flashed through his mind, he turned his head and glanced at the south, and in the next second, he suppressed the reluctance in his eyes, and the red eyes burst out with anger and cruelty.

He pulled the torch off the wall, got out of the watchtower, climbed up the wooden ladder outside, and climbed to the top of the watchtower.

The top of the watchtower is a basin-like design covered with wooden planks and covered with a rain-proof tarpaulin.

Lifting them all over reveals the accumulation of greased straw and firewood in the basin-like top.

The sentinel threw in the torch in his hand.

Soon, a thick black smoke rose slowly over the stronghold.

At the same time as the thick smoke rose, the shouts of killing also sounded in the stronghold.

Several sharp arrows shot from below, hitting the sentinel climbing outside the watchtower.

He fell from the air, his eyes wide open reflecting the thick smoke rising in the air, showing a relieved expression.

The moment he fell heavily to the ground, an iron gun pierced his body, and he closed his eyes forever in the splashing blood.

A dozen cavalry and hundreds of infantry faced more than 2000 Geshu cavalry, and the result can be imagined.

It was like a moth jumping into a flame, and was completely burned by the flame in an instant.

The attacking Geshu cavalry mercilessly killed all the Aaron Landisians in the stronghold, lit a fire, destroyed the stronghold, and rode away.

When the reinforcements came to this stronghold, they could only see the destroyed watchtower, corpses everywhere, and the land stained reddish-brown by blood...

This is just the beginning.

The vanguard cavalry of the Geshu army raged wantonly along the border of Aaronlandis, destroying small strongholds and small fortresses one after another.

All of a sudden, there were flames of war on the border, and the Geshu cavalry was constantly moving because of their fast marching speed, and their whereabouts were erratic, making it difficult for the Aaron Landis to catch their whereabouts.

In the evening of this day, the setting sun in the sky illuminated the earth red.

Thick black smoke rose slowly, and horseshoes trampled on the ground, kicking up waves of dust.

The sound of clashing weapons, laughter, and roars intertwined in the setting sun, and Geshu's cavalry charged wantonly in the stronghold, piercing the bodies of Aaron Landis soldiers with iron guns in their hands.

The hooves of the steeds under them stomped heavily on the body of the Aaron Landis who fell on the ground, and the screams of the other party only made them more happy.

A leading cavalryman galloped on horseback, pierced a soldier's chest with a single shot, and nailed his whole body to the stone wall with the help of inertia.

Seeing the soldier nailed to the wall spitting blood and struggling in pain, he grinned triumphantly.

Just when he was laughing out loud, suddenly, a cold light shot from the side, instantly entered his right eye and pierced his head.

His next laugh was still stuck in his throat, his pupils were already dilated, and he fell off the horse with a thud.

This is not the end.

After the Geshu cavalryman was killed, there were countless sharp arrows following that arrow.

Arrows rained all over the sky, and nearly a hundred Gaishu cavalrymen shot off their horses with just one encounter.

The horses neighed in panic one after another, and the leading Geshu cavalry commander turned his head, his pupils dilated suddenly.

Countless horseshoes trampled on the ground, shaking the ground slightly.

In the sight of the cavalry commander Geshu, countless cavalry appeared on the horizon.

The Aaron Landis cavalry in black and red leather armor, dyed by the flames of the setting sun, rushed here like a red torrent.

The flag is flying high in it, with a flame-like background. When the flag flutters, the golden lion seems to be roaring in the flames.

The leader was dressed in silver and black armor, and the crimson mane of the steed below him fluttered in the wind, reflecting the setting sun like a cluster of burning flames.

That familiar figure made the Geshu cavalry who were still raging on the land of Aaron Landis just a moment ago shattered with fear.

"black Knight!"

"No! It's the black knight—"

"The devil from hell is coming!"

The Gesu cavalry shouted in panic.

The Black Knight of Hell.

The morale of the Geshu cavalry was drained.

This knight of Aaron Landis, as they called him, had a devil-like record on the battlefield, and the Geshu people who heard this title were terrified.

Why is this black knight in the north?

Didn't it mean that he has been recalled to Wangcheng? !

Even the cavalry captain who was the commander of Gai Shu's vanguard this time, his heart was beating violently because of fear.

He forced himself to calm down, and glanced at the Aaron Landis cavalry who were rushing towards them.

The cavalry of Aaron Landis in sight is about 1000 people, which is less than the cavalry led by him, and he can lead the army to fight against it.

Thinking of this, he was slightly relieved.

However, Gai Shu's cavalry commander scanned his body, and his heart skipped a beat.

Several strongholds had been destroyed in the past few days, and the vanguard cavalry team was in full swing, but the appearance of the black knight suddenly suppressed the morale of the cavalry team.

He could even see the hesitant, panicked, and even fearful faces of those cavalrymen.

That does not work!

Isn't this cowardice before a fight!

Gai Shu gritted his teeth fiercely.

If this continues, their cavalry phalanx will be penetrated and defeated in an instant by the oncoming Aaron Landis cavalry, and they will undoubtedly lose.

In this way, even if he survived and fled back, what awaited him was the heavy punishment of being executed and his family being demoted to slavery.

He can't lose, he has to inspire the morale of the team.

The cavalry commander gritted his teeth and thought.

The black knight rushed forward with his horse, a distance away from the cavalry behind him.

And no matter how strong the black knight is, he is still alone, and he can't beat four punches with two hands. As long as he leads the people to swarm up and attack the cavalry behind him before he can catch up, he will definitely be able to defeat him!

And as long as he defeats it, he can replace the black knight's prestige and become famous all over the world——

Feeling turbulent and full of energy, Gaishu cavalry commander gave an order and rushed up with the cavalry, with dozens of personal guards following closely behind him.

close!

It's here!

It's now!

The cavalry commander let out a loud shout, and thrust forward with all his strength the iron spear in his hand.

At the same time, the other guards around him drew out their iron guns.

More than a dozen long spears stabbed at the knight in black armor ferociously, making it impossible to avoid him, and they could pierce more than a dozen holes in his body.

The cavalry commander even showed joy on his face——

But in the next second, he saw the heavy iron spear in the hand of the black knight rushing forward suddenly turned around, knocking away all the pierced spear points, including the iron spear in his hand, which was also involuntarily caught. A huge force suddenly overwhelmed him to one side.

Before he could react, he only saw a silvery cold light coming from his line of sight.

Immediately afterwards, it was dark in front of him.

He lost all consciousness.

The knight commander whose forehead was pierced by the spear point could no longer see the blood gushing out of his eyes, and fell straight down from his horse.

The horse that lost its owner seemed to have been greatly frightened, and ran forward like crazy.

Then, the heavy pitch-black iron gun swiped vigorously, and the terrifying force swept away the several guards nearby.

In the next moment, the tip of the spear pierced through the bodies of the two people again.

With just a face-to-face meeting, the black knight easily killed the cavalry commander Geshu.

Then, the Aaron Landis cavalry behind him caught up.

Like a group of ferocious hungry wolves, the group of cavalry pounced on the Geshu cavalry, pierced through the phalanx of the Gaisu cavalry in an instant, and crushed the group of Gaisu cavalry whose morale had collapsed due to the loss of their commander.

Although the number is superior, the Geshu cavalry without the backbone is already in a state of disunity. They can only fight instinctively on their own, and are forced to retreat step by step by the angry and fierce Aaron Landis.

Especially the black figure who was rushing repeatedly among the Geshu cavalry as if he was in no man's land. As long as he waved his spear, some Geshu cavalrymen would be killed by his spear.

Wherever he goes, is where the god of death comes.

The Geshu cavalry, who were terrified by the black knights, were gradually defeated and began to flee in all directions.

The Aaron Landis cavalry chased after him unceremoniously.

Watching his subordinates chase him away, Heymos did not move. He stood on the spot on horseback. His silver-black armor was completely stained red with blood, and it was still dripping down.

His eyes swept over the dead Aaron Landis soldier who was nailed to the wall, and then over the destroyed stronghold and the corpses of hundreds of soldiers who died in battle in the stronghold.

The blood of the people of Aaron Landis was shed on the land of Aaron Landis.

The personal guards rode quietly behind Heymos.

There was silence at this moment, no one spoke.

The last fiery red sunset on the horizon fell, and the earth was pitch-black, just like Heymos' eyes shrouded in shadows on horseback at this moment.

…………

It was late at night, but the lights in the meeting hall of the Northland Fortress were still on.

The commander of the Northland Legion, Cavalry Master Heya, stood by the table, looking at the map spread out on the table, frowning.

Heymos lowered his eyes, stood to one side, and glanced over the map.

There are several red crosses drawn on the map, small strongholds and forts along the border that were destroyed by raiding Gasur vanguard cavalry.

"It is now certain that the Geshurians waged war in winter."

Heya said in a deep voice, "Besides, judging from the scale of their troop deployment, the Geshu people's intentions are not small."

That night, they got a lot of important news from the Geshu soldiers who were captured alive by Prince Heymos in the evening.

"One hundred thousand troops... one hundred thousand troops!"

He punched heavily on the table, making a loud bang.

Heya's expression was serious, anger burst out in his eyes, and he cursed directly.

"What the hell is the Geshu trying to do!"

The entire Northland Legion is full of battles, and there are only more than 6 people.

At the beginning of spring in previous years, the Geshu people would only dispatch 4 to [-] people when they came to Aaron Landis to plunder supplies.

The [-] army can almost be said to be all the troops that Gai Shu can mobilize except for staying behind.

And the Geshu people suddenly poured all the power of the whole country, and dispatched a large army to attack the goal of Aaron Landis at this time...

…………

The last time the Geshu people poured all their troops into attacking Aaron Landis, it was more than ten years ago, what happened in the tragic war that nearly destroyed Aaron Landis.

When Heya thought of this, he couldn't help but feel chills in his heart.

"Urgent military report, the highest level! Deliver it to His Majesty as quickly as possible!"

It was still late at night, and dozens of cavalry galloped out of the Northland Fortress on horseback.

They separated quickly and galloped towards the Wangcheng along different roads.

At the same time, dozens of white pigeons were also released from the high tower of the fortress, flapping their wings and flying to the south.

…………

………………

The wind howled, blowing from the northwest of Aaron Landis's Northland stronghold, it came through the country of Tasta.

The further north you go, the stronger the north wind and the colder the weather.

The fine snow was flying and slowly falling on the dark brown ground.

After passing the Tasda country, it went north through several small countries.

The country of Xida there has perished in the flames of war.

Coming from the more distant northwest, the iron hooves that brought blood and flames of war have traveled all over the land of this small country in just ten days, annexing it together with another neighboring country.

However, the giant ice and snow beast from the extreme north was not satisfied with this, and it continued to move towards the southeast.

Passing through the land of the devoured Xida country, from the heavy snow to the place where there are bits and pieces of snow flying.

This is the border between the country of Kanal and the country of Hida.

The prince in silver-white armor stood on a horse that stretched as far as the eye can see, his cold purple eyes looked at the fertile land that was about to be trampled by his iron hooves.

The flames of war burning from the cruel northern land are about to burn to the land of Kanal.
