A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

The northern border and the eastern border have won successive victories, repelling the enemy.

However, they are not actually the first place to win.

The Sixth Army on the western border was attacked by the Gasdad vanguard army. Germans defeated.

A large area of ​​land on the western border fell, and the Sixth Army had to retreat to the Kameya Valley.

At the beginning, it was only a relatively desolate area on the border, but after passing through the valley, it was the prosperous Camea Plain, which was also an important population settlement and food production area of ​​Aaron Landis.

Large and small cities are scattered all over the Kameya Plain, all of which add up to nearly a million people, and the hoarded food and grass resources are countless.If it was occupied by the Gastadians, the consequences would be unimaginable.

It was precisely because he knew this terrible consequence that the commander of the Sixth Army, Tanner, recklessly launched this war that was destined to have a tragic outcome.

Even if the entire army is wiped out, the Gastadians will never be allowed to cross the Kameya Valley!

The whole army carried the determination to die with the Gastad vanguard army, and started the final battle with the Gastad people with the heart of death.

The last madness of the Aaron Landis did cause a lot of trouble for the Gastad people at the beginning. However, although morale is very important on the battlefield, the strength of the army is the decisive factor that can determine the final victory or defeat. .

The commander-in-chief of the Garstad vanguard agreed with the tenacity of the Aaron Landis, but he would not show mercy, and directly pressed the whole army, without giving the Aaron Landis army the slightest chance.

Seeing that the Sixth Legion was about to be destroyed by the Gastadians, and even Tanner, the commander of the Sixth Legion, was surrounded by the enemy, and was about to rush into the enemy with the will to die——

Just when the Gastard army was close to victory——

Suddenly, a long howl from the distant horizon tore through the sky.

The king of Aaron Landis descended from the sky like a god.

The endless black and red cavalry behind him are like billowing red flames burning from the sky.

Horseshoes shook the ground.

The morning sun cast a layer of golden sunlight on the rolling cavalry, making them seem to be stepping on the scorching sun.

In the past few days, the Gastadians, who have dismissed the rumors of the so-called "world-renowned Aaron Landis cavalry", finally experienced the horror of Aaron Landis' elite cavalry.

The strong physique they are proud of has no room for display under the uniform and coordinated operations of the Aaron Landis cavalry.

Their hard and heavy armor became an obstacle under the nimble rotation and impact of the Aaron Landis cavalry.

All the while, when the Gastard armored warriors charge forward, everything will be crushed by them, and no one is their enemy.

However, the Aaron Landis cavalry moved nimbly, separated their formation little by little, and then divided and wiped them out.

Even the group of Aaron Landis who were defeated by them not long ago, after seeing King Kamos, it was like the blessings of the gods, the Aaron Landis soldiers who were full of tragic and desperate atmosphere unexpectedly It was a sudden outbreak of fighting power that was unimaginable for the Gastadians.

Their eyes, which had been plunged into darkness, seemed to be reborn, and at this moment they were astonishingly bright, and they fought with the Gastadians again with great vigor.

Camos

son of gods

our king

Wherever you go, is where the gods are!

Facing the Aaron Landis soldiers who had become unstoppable due to the appearance of King Kamos, pieces of Garstad fell like cut grass in the valley of Kameya. Next to the body of the Aaron Landisian who was killed by them not long ago.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the commander of the vanguard army chose to retreat with a livid face.

The Lion King led the army to pursue the victory.

The Gastadians left countless corpses along the way and fled back to the western border in embarrassment.

The Gastadians, who had never experienced a defeat since their expedition and were rampant on this continent, tasted defeat for the first time on the land of Aaron Landis.

Great victory on the western frontier battlefield.

It was even one day earlier than the night attack on the northern border.

Soon, the news of the three-way victory spread throughout the entire Aaron Landis, causing the people of Aaron Landis to celebrate nationwide.

The dark clouds that weighed on everyone's heads not long ago dissipated in an instant, and the bright sun shone on the earth again.

There was also joy in the royal city, because not long after the news of the three-party victory came, another piece of good news came.

The crown prince, who has been seriously injured and dying, has come to life and his condition is gradually improving.

The crown prince, who had come to his senses, even went to the court in a soft sedan chair, where he showed himself to the dignitaries.

It can be seen that although the prince's face is still quite pale, he is in good spirits, and it is said that he will recover in a short time.

As soon as the news came out, countless people felt relieved and were very happy for the recovery of the crown prince, but some people were also in a gloomy mood.

They started to move around again, trying to attack the crown prince again when the good news came and everyone relaxed their vigilance.

This time, however, they were arrested before they even touched the Dauphin's room.

The Royal Knights, who seldom showed up, were also dispatched this time. Together with the Shamash Battle Priests of Shemur, they wiped out the underground forces lurking in the royal city, and cleaned up the entire royal city, especially the royal palace from beginning to end. side.

Several high-ranking nobles from aristocratic families were approached by the Royal Knights, charged with endangering the royal family, and unceremoniously brought them to the secret room of the Royal Knights' temple and invited them to drink a few cups of black tea.

Afterwards, the Crown Prince Garlan, who showed his face, returned to the palace again in the name of recovering from his wounds. He lived in seclusion and did not see anyone easily.

…………

Of course, that's just the surface.

In fact, Garlan, who participated in a great battle on the eastern border, rushed back to the royal city, and after showing his face, left a double in the royal palace to pretend to be him, and then secretly changed his face, dyed his hair and slipped out.

But this time, in order not to attract attention, he left the big Nega lion who was screaming at him with a dissatisfied face in the lion garden of the palace.

During the period when Garlan stayed in the palace and cooperated with Ximuer to wipe out the forces lurking in the king's city, after assisting the Fourth Army on the eastern border to repel the IS army, Kyhos directly led the cavalry of the Third Army Go to the western border area and meet King Kamos.

Garlan, who sneaked out of the palace again, caught up with Caihors' army, disguised himself as a trusted general of Caihors again, and headed west together.

A few days later, Kaihos successfully joined the army of King Kamos.

Since the Sixth Army was disabled and its strength was less than [-], King Kamos ordered that the Sixth Army be temporarily reorganized into the Third Army, under the joint command of the cavalry commander Kehus and Tanner, the former in charge of the cavalry, The latter commanded the infantry.

…………

In the Kameya Valley, a huge camp spread out, and the tents spread all over the entire valley, all over the mountains and plains.

Among them, the largest black and red tent was surrounded and protected by numerous armies, standing in the deepest part of the camp.

That was the camp of King Kamos.

The lion flag with red background and golden pattern fluttered high above the tent, rustling with the whistling wind.

A group of strong and elite guards guarded the camp outside, with solemn expressions and sharp eyes, making it difficult for anyone to approach this place.

At this moment, in this tent, only King Kamos and the two cavalry commanders in his personal guard stayed here.

There are not many things placed in the camp, mainly concise and practical, with almost no decorations.Although King Kamos would enjoy it unceremoniously when he stayed in the palace, but once he went out to fight, he abandoned all luxuries.

In this tent, apart from the daily necessities such as beds and cabinets, there is only a huge square table in the center.

A large sheepskin map was spread out on the table, and many places had been marked on it.

King Kamos stood beside the map with the two cavalry commanders. While talking to his subordinates, he looked at the gate of the tent from time to time, as if he was waiting for something.

Not long after, the thick cloth of the camp gate was lifted, and someone walked in.

The sun shone in and fell on the scorching sun knight, and the young general who followed behind Kehos with his head down. The hood of the cloak blocked most of the young general's face, making it difficult to see clearly.

After entering the camp, Kaihos, who was walking in front, immediately turned sideways, stepped aside, let the person behind him come to him, and raised his hand to help the person untie the cloak on his body.

The young general who took off his cloak looked up, and a beautiful face of a young man with bright eyes and white teeth, as delicate as a work of art, appeared in front of everyone.

The dyed black hair fell from the young man's cheeks, making his complexion like snow even more.

The golden eyes, like the clearest amber gemstones, were slightly bent, smiling at everyone.

…For some reason, the two cavalry commanders standing beside King Kamos felt as if they had seen the scene of flowers blooming in early spring and falling flowers in bloom…

…………

……illusion.

It is an illusion.

It is all an illusion to be able to see the background behind the crown prince!

King Kamos didn't know what the cavalry commanders were thinking while coughing a few times to cover up something. His attention was already on Garlan.

Seeing his younger brother again after half a month, King Kamos felt a little emotional for a while.

At the beginning when he planned to lead his troops to fight against ISIS, it was Garlan who raised objections and asked him to stay in the royal city for a few more days on the grounds of pretending to be sick.

Otherwise, he will definitely be one step late, which will lead to the annihilation of the Sixth Army and the fall of the important Camea Plain.

Although he believed that he would be able to drive those Gastadians out in the end, the loss would definitely be much greater than it is now.

Kamos walked up to Garlan, and raised his hand to stroke Garlan's hair and side cheeks.

The lion king who made the enemy heartbroken on the battlefield, in front of his king's brother, always has a softer gaze than anything else.

His gaze scanned Garlan's body carefully, from top to bottom, carefully and gently.

After the baptism of the battlefield, the young man in front of him was a little less immature and a little more awe-inspiring, but those golden eyes were as bright and clear as before.

Like the rising sun in the morning, it can dispel all the gloom.

Even on the battlefield, a boy's smile can bring the warmth of the sun.

"You've grown up, Garlan."

Camos said, with a smile on his sharp lips.

That little kid has really grown up.

Before he knew it, the child had stepped out of his wings and faced the ups and downs outside alone.

The young man standing in front of him now has a kind of strength that ordinary people can't see, a strength that makes people willing to trust and follow from the bottom of their hearts.

Yes, his younger brother has grown up.

The matter that Kamos had been hesitating these days finally made up his mind at this moment.

The child has grown up.

Already have the power to make decisions in their own affairs.

He is his brother and his guardian.

However, even so, he did not have the right to make decisions on behalf of Garlan in the name of protecting Garlan.

"You go back first."

King Kamos said, "Stay outside."

The two cavalry commanders standing on the side and Kaihos obeyed, bowed and retreated, and stood guard outside the gate of the camp.

In the camp, only Garlan and Kamos were left.

King Kamos pondered for a while, then raised his eyes to Garlan.

"Garlan."

He asked, "I suddenly sent Heymos to the north, you know?"

"Ah."

Although he didn't know why Brother Wang suddenly mentioned this, Garlan still nodded.

"...Well, everyone knows that I sent him to the northern border, but there is one thing that I didn't announce."

King Kamos paused and said,

"I issued an order that Heymos is not allowed to set foot in the royal city for ten years."

"what?"

Garlan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted abruptly.

He remembered the strange behavior of Heymos who suddenly broke into his room that night, and the strange movement that hugged him tightly, as if he was trying to suppress something strange.

Ten years must not step into the royal city.

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder Heymos looked like that at the time.

"Why did you issue such an order? Brother Wang, are you worried that he will fight against me in order to fight for the throne? Heymos will not do such a thing..."

"Do not."

King Kamos' deep voice interrupted Garlan's words.

"It's not because of this, I know, I know he won't hurt you."

"That……"

"Garlan, answer me honestly."

King Kamos stared at Garlan with a pair of brown eyes, and his eyes flashed.

He stared into Garlan's eyes without blinking.

"Do you know... that Heymos has special feelings for you?"

"!"

Garlan's chest tightened suddenly.

He looked at King Kamos with wide eyes, opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound.

Why did Brother Wang know about this?

His heart was beating rapidly, and in the silent tent at this moment, he could almost hear his own heartbeat.

Is it because of knowing this that Brother Wang exiled Heymos to the Northland for ten years?

The boy bit his lower lip tightly, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

But King Kamos, who had been watching Garlan's every move, had already got the answer from Garlan's expression.

His complexion became complicated, he hesitated to speak, and finally he could only let out a long sigh.

"It seems that you know..."

"Brother Wang, I..."

"Garlan, I was very angry when I first learned about this. In order to break his mind, I ordered Heymos to be exiled to the northern border for ten years." King Kamos said, "I thought at that time, ten years later You are married and have children, Heymos must have given up on that idea."

"I think I made this decision without telling you to protect you."

He looked at Garlan with a gentle expression.

"But I want to understand now that you have grown up, and I shouldn't make decisions for you in the name of your own good."

"So, Garlan, tell me, what's on your mind?"

…………

Garlan is panicking now, very panicked.

He knew about Heymos's trip to the northern border, but he thought he was sent to the northern border in a normal way, just like before.

He never expected that the truth was that Brother Wang knew Heymos' feelings for him, so driving Heymos out of the king's city was equivalent to exile, forcing Heymos to go to the northern border.

Although they both went to the northern border, the former and the latter are completely different!

Thinking of the reluctance and hidden anger in Heymos' tone when he said goodbye to him, the boy felt panicked.

He knows what kind of person Heymos is.

Now that Heymos was being oppressed by King Kamos with his royal authority and forced to go to the Northland, Garlan could guess what Heymos would do next without even thinking about it.

That guy with a gloomy paranoid personality and a belief that the strong are respected will definitely be angry with Brother Wang, unwilling to be subdued, and then have the idea of ​​​​confronting Brother Wang.

He went to the Northland, and he will definitely do things in the Northland.

And there are soldiers from the two major legions stationed in the Northland.

Garlan felt that Heymos would be able to control that army in his own hands in about two or three years without needing ten years.

Garlan dared to swear that with that guy's disposition, the purpose of controlling the northern army was to fight against the king's brother——

In this way, wouldn't it be equivalent to Aaron Landis fighting internally?

...No, no, no, absolutely not.

In the past few lives, he and Heymos fought internally, which consumed a lot of national power.

And if in this life, Brother Wang and Heymos become infighting...the consequences would be unimaginable!

Just imagining that scene, Garlan felt like he was about to break out in a cold sweat.

No.

He had to find a way to get Heymos back as soon as possible, that kind of time bomb... no, a dangerous person like a nuclear bomb had to be kept under his nose and stared at, so as to be safe.

"Brother Wang, I do know about this, and I also rejected him."

Thinking of this, Garlan spoke up, trying to intercede for Heymos.

"After I refused, he didn't do anything to me, so you don't need to banish him for so long... I think it's just that I like someone, which is uncontrollable. He didn't do anything. It's so unfair."

King Kamos looked at him.

"Garlan, I know you have a kind heart, and you grew up with him, and you always have feelings for him, but you don't understand how scary men are."

Gallan: "..."

Brother Wang, I am also a man, okay?

"Maybe he can still control himself now, but with his paranoid personality...if he sees you marrying a wife with his own eyes, I don't know what he will do."

Camos shook his head.

"Once something happens, it's too late."

He pondered for a while, and said, "However, I just said that this matter is up to you to decide. Since you said so, I will withdraw my order not to return to the royal city for ten years."

Just as Garlan breathed a sigh of relief, King Kamos continued.

"But you can't let him come back in these two years, at least, after you get married."

Otherwise, with Heymos' personality, I'm afraid he could really do something that ruined Garlan's wedding.

Kamos thought so.

Gallan: "..."

I'm afraid it will be too late in two years.

Moreover, he has no intention of getting married anytime soon.

He couldn't just find someone to marry in order to let Heymos return to the king's city, right?

And he is sure that if he dares to get married, that guy Heymos will dare to bring someone to call him——

Garlan, who was suffering from a headache, wanted to hug his head.

But he couldn't directly express his judgment on Heymos.

Did you just say something like 'If you don't call Heymos back, he will take control of the Northland Legion, fight you, and become your threat' to Brother Wang?

Even if I say...

I will be afraid of the threat of that brat?

Garlan can guarantee that his brother will absolutely scoff at his 'Heymus threat theory' with this attitude.

...Ahhh, so what should I do?

What should I do to get Brother Wang to call Heymos back to the royal city?

What to do? What to do? What to do……

Probably because he let go of such a worry, King Kamos also showed a relaxed look.

He sat down on the wooden chair beside the table, picked up the cold tea, and took a sip.

...there is only one way...

Garlan stood where he was, the expression on his face changed several times.

Finally, he gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind.

"Brother Wang."

"Ok?"

"I...uh, I..."

King Kamos looked at his brother, waited patiently, and took another sip of water.

"actually, I……"

Heartbroken, Garlan clenched his hands vigorously, his face flushed red, and he looked deathly at home.

"...I like Heymos too!"

puff!

The Lion King spat out a mouthful of water.
