A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

The long blond hair blown by the wind fluttered past Garlan's eyes, and he raised his hand to brush the strand of long hair behind his ear.

It seems to be too long, the wind has become stronger recently, and it always blows his hair.

Garlan thought to himself.

Should I talk to Taputi and cut my hair shorter?

The inexplicable throbbing in his heart just now was quickly forgotten by him. Garlan was pinching the ends of his hair and thinking about it in his heart, when he suddenly heard a whimper beside him.

The sleeve was lightly bitten by the sharp teeth, pulled, and when he raised his head, he met Nega's bright eyes.

The big lion bit his sleeve, pulled him under a big tree, then straightened up, put his hind legs on the ground, and threw his front paws on the tree trunk to scratch vigorously. While scratching, he turned his head towards Garlan and howled Call twice.

Garlan looked up and saw a few birds sitting on the branches on the top of the tree, chirping.

Because of the arrival of winter, many migratory birds began to fly south, so there are much more birds in Wangcheng in winter than in other seasons.

The boy smiled and patted the big lion's head.

He beckoned and asked his servants to bring him a short bow. Then he shot an arrow with the bow and shot down three of the birds on the tree in one breath. The rest of the birds fluttered away in panic.

As soon as the shot bird fell to the ground, Nega showed an excited expression, but Garlan held it down, and it didn't pounce on it right away, it just flicked its tail vigorously, and stared at the bird with its eyes motionless. a few birds.

Garlan let go of his hand only after his servant stepped forward to pull out the arrows, and the big lion couldn't wait to pounce on it, and began to feast on it.

"Your Highness, why are you shooting arrows again? Don't forget that your shoulder is still injured."

The female officer Taputi stepped out quickly, took the short bow from Garlan's hand, and showed a reproachful expression.

At the winter festival not long ago, the prince's injury was torn again because of shooting arrows at the festival. The bandages that were almost completely stained with blood made her feel shocked and distressed at the time.

So now when she saw the prince shooting arrows again, she came over nervously and took the bow from the prince's hand.

"It's okay, this is a short bow, it doesn't take much effort."

Garlan raised his hand and turned his left arm.

"It's been more than ten days, my injury is recovering quickly, don't worry, Taputi."

Seeing that there was indeed no uncomfortable expression on the brows of Garlan when he moved his arms, the female officer was relieved.

"what can I do for you?"

"Yes, Your Highness, King Kamos has called you over."

"I see."

The young man nodded, and patted the head of the big lion who just finished eating the little bird and was lying contentedly on the ground, telling him to sleep here obediently and not to make trouble.

Then, he left quickly.

…………

When he arrived at the palace of King Kamos, Garlan discovered that his guardian knight who had disappeared for several days was actually here.

Kaihos walked towards him with a smile. The knight who usually just bowed to him in daily life bowed his knees and saluted him.

Garlan was taken aback for a moment, looked down, and saw the conspicuous golden lion badge on Kaihos's chest at a glance.

"Kaihos, have you been promoted to cavalry commander?"

the boy asked in surprise.

"Yes, Your Highness, thanks to you, and the kindness of King Kamos."

Kyhos raised his head and answered with a smile.

Gallan also laughed.

"Oh, then you are busy with promotion these days? Which legion did Brother Wang arrange for you to join?"

Keyhos opened his mouth, but before he could answer, a deep voice came from the front and answered first.

"Third Legion, let Keyhos go in to assist the veteran for a period of time, and then let him take over the position of commander."

Lifting up the hanging curtain, the brown-haired Lion King strode in.

"By the beginning of spring next year, you'll have to go to war, just in time for Kyhoes to follow you."

King Kamos came over, raised his hand and stroked Garlan's hair.

"It's time for you to make contributions on the battlefield."

Well, it feels good to the touch, soft and smooth, give it another knead.

Shemul had already revealed this to Garlan not long ago, so when King Kamos said it, Garlan was not surprised.

"I see, Brother Wang."

"I called you here today because I have one more thing to tell you."

King Kamos moved his hand from the top of Garlan's head to his left shoulder, and rubbed it lightly.

"How is your recovery?"

"It doesn't have much impact anymore."

"That's good." Seeing that Garlan's tone didn't sound fake, King Kamos nodded, and he said, "Five days later, the Aaron Landis mission will go to Kanal, led by you."

Garlan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

"Kanal, like Tasda, is our friendly country. It would be best if you can make good friends with the royal family members of Kanal when you get there. However, if you don't like it, don't force yourself."

King Kamos said meaningfully, and even the smile on his face showed a little subtlety.

There was something in his words, but Garlan couldn't understand the hidden meaning in his words at all, but was thinking about going back and asking Tal to collect some information about the members of the Kanal royal family, planning to learn about it in advance.

Well, the customs and taboos of the Kanal country also need to be well understood.

He couldn't be frightened by their special customs like the last time the Tasda mission visited, and almost got into trouble.

Just when Garlan was thinking about this matter in his heart, there was suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps outside.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Xie Muer walking in quickly.

Priest Shamash frowned more tightly than usual, his face was serious, and there was a little worry in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I just received an urgent military report from Heya."

He said in a deep voice, and handed over the note that was no more than two fingers wide.

It was a note sent by the carrier pigeon first.

"Gaishu Kingdom raided the northern border and destroyed several strongholds in the northern border."

King Kamos, who had been watching Garlan with a subtle smile just now, froze, took the note, glanced at it, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Brother Wang?"

"Gai Shu? They usually invade the northern border in spring. Why is it so sudden this time?"

Kayhos said suspiciously.

Garlan couldn't help asking, "Will the northern border be in danger?"

He was a little worried about the sudden outbreak of war in the northern border.

After all, during this period of time, he has also seen how deeply Heymos thinks about him. However, Heymos has been away from the royal city for so long, and even he was assassinated and injured, and no news has come back until now... …

Hearing this news now, Garlan couldn't help but wonder, is it because Heymos was injured on the battlefield that he didn't contact him?

"Don't worry, Your Highness, there are Cavalry Commander Heya and His Royal Highness Heymos sitting in the northern border, and there are 6 people from the two Northern Land Legions guarding there, and the Geshu people will not let the Geshu people act recklessly."

Kehoes said,

"The Geshu people have invaded the northern border over the years, and have never taken advantage of it."

That's right, Heymos also stayed in the northern border for several years and was never injured, so there shouldn't be anything wrong this time.

If you don't contact yourself, you should just be doing your best to deal with the Geshu army.

Thinking of this, Garlan breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought for a while and said: "In the past, the Geshu people would only attack the northern border at the beginning of spring, mainly for the purpose of plundering food. I heard that they have a bad year this year and suffered a drought. Could it be because of the food they got this year?" It’s not enough to survive the winter, so you attack the northern border at this time?”

Xie Muer frowned tightly, with a dignified expression.

"Indeed, Gai Shu's grain harvest this year is poor, and it may be very difficult to survive the winter."

He nodded first, then shook his head again.

"However, their purpose should not be as simple as plundering enough food... According to Heya's military report, this time Geshu sent a total of [-] troops to invade the northern border."

One hundred thousand troops.

That was all the troops that the entire Gaishu Kingdom could mobilize except for the troops left behind.

It is impossible to achieve this level just to plunder food.

"What? One hundred thousand troops!"

Keyhos's chest tightened suddenly, and he even paused for breathing.

Just like Gea, the cavalry master of the Northern Army, he almost instantly thought of the tragic battle he had participated in more than ten years ago.

At that time, in order to destroy Aaron Landis in one fell swoop, the Geshu people also attacked with all their strength.

Shemul looked at King Kamos.

"Your Majesty, although there are two major Northland legions stationed in the northern border, and His Royal Highness Heya and Heymos are stationed in the northern border, it is impossible for the Geshu army to break through the northern border in a short time, but our army is still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. In order to avoid too many casualties, we must send troops to the northern border for rescue as soon as possible."

King Kamos, who had been sitting there since just now, suddenly let out a low laugh.

He raised his head, his tiger eyes were piercing.

He was like a male lion lying lazily lying on the ground dozing off, suddenly smelling the breath of blood coming from a distance, and slowly raised his head to wake up, his face was mighty, and his eyes were piercingly looking into the distance .

The beast-like ferocity began to wake up in the golden-brown eyes.

At this moment, there was no dignified and anxious expression on the sharp-edged face, but King Kamos's eyes were full of excitement that he was about to cull his prey.

The sharp teeth could not wait to show them, and great pressure was exuded from his whole body, and the evil spirit that had been suppressed for a long time burst out, making the lion king show his power at this moment.

"Yes, it's interesting."

He chuckled and tossed the note aside casually.

"Gaishu people want to be ruthless, so I don't have to be polite."

He squeezed his hands and made a clucking sound.

"It's not too long to spend time in the king's city." He shook his arm full of hard muscles and said dissatisfiedly, "My muscles are all soft, so I should move my body in advance and exercise a little bit." gone."

King Kamos laughed and turned to Garlan.

"It's just right, Garlan, you're here too this time." He grinned and said, "Only such a large-scale battlefield can be worthy of the first battle of my Crown Prince Aaron Landis, isn't it?"

Having said that, he suddenly remembered something, and changed the topic.

"By the way, your mission to the Kingdom of Kanal will be canceled first. Shemul, you send a messenger to explain to King Feinoa, and wait until this war is over."

King Kamos had just finished speaking, but Xie Muer had not had time to agree, when suddenly a personal guard rushed over and knelt down to salute.

"King Kamos, the envoy from Kanal has arrived."

"Kanal's messenger? What are you here for? Are you here to pick up Garlan?"

King Kamos asked puzzledly.

"It's just right, Ximuer, you go to receive him, and tell him to postpone temporarily..."

"No, Your Majesty."

The guard hurriedly said,

"Kanal's envoy is here to seek help from our country!"

"Ask for help?"

King Kamos didn't realize it for a while. The country of Kanal hadn't experienced a war for a long time. Usually, when Aaron Landis's army was short of food and armaments, he asked Kanal for help. Kanal almost I haven't asked Aaron Landis for help much.

"Yes, the Gastadians have captured the Kingdom of Hida and are attacking the Kingdom of Kanal. Many cities in the northern part of Kanal have already fallen. Now the army of the Gastadians is marching towards the royal city of Kanal. , if we don't rescue in time, I'm afraid..."

The personal guard smashed the ceramics wrapped outside, took out the stone letter fired at high temperature inside and presented it to King Kamos with both hands.

"This is a request for help from King Feinoa's envoy."

His gaze swept over Shi Xin, and King Kamos stood up abruptly.

"Call all the generals to the palace immediately."

With a solemn face, he said in a deep voice.

"Discuss the rescue of Kanal Kingdom!"

"Yes!"

The guard ran out in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, in this way, we will not be able to go to the northern border to support in a short time."

Shemur said with some annoyance.

He knew that Kanal must be rescued, but now Geshu's army of [-] is attacking the northern border, and the northern border has insufficient troops. If there is an accident, Gaishu's army will drive straight from the north, and the consequences...

"The Kingdom of Kanal must be rescued."

King Kamos said decisively.

"In the northern border, Heya and Hymos can only carry it for a while."

Gastardian?

Garlan on the side thought for a long time, but he couldn't find this name from the memory of previous lives.

Thinking about it carefully, at this time in previous lives, he was already dead, so it is impossible to know what happened after his death...

…………

and many more.

He seemed to remember something.

Gastardian.

When he was sent to this world for the first time, the envoy told him about the demise of Aaron Landis.

In False Fate Line, Heymos takes the throne.

When he was in power, Aaron Landis's cavalry dominated the mainland, unstoppable, and he made Aaron Landis reach its peak in military affairs.

It's just that this kind of prosperity is a deformed prosperity. After the death of Heymos, Aaron Landis declined at an extremely fast speed.

Soon after, it was destroyed in the flames of war.

And the country that destroyed Aaron Landis was Gastard.
