A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

For Aaron Landis, these old nobles of Kanal are like clowns.

To use the fluffy two words of the veteran Carleni with the corner of his eye to describe it, it is trash.

The veteran of the so-called army under the nobles of Kanal didn't look at him at all, that is, a group of mobs who could bully civilians.

No matter how luxurious the equipment of the Kanal army is and how sharp the weapons are, this kind of army without blood on its body is a pile of waste in the eyes of the veteran.

Engaging in infighting, intrigue and intrigue among each other is the specialty of these old nobles.

These guys are like cockroaches crawling around in the gutter. It's hard to get out of the shadows, but if you jump out, you can easily kill them with a slap.

Therefore, when these old nobles felt that they had waited for a good time to jump out one by one to show off their might, the moment King Garlan showed up, all the Kanal nobles withered away instantly.

Looking at the endlessly mighty and majestic Aaron Landis iron cavalry behind King Garlan, they finally remembered that even the terrifying Gastadians were defeated and driven out by these cavalry.

They didn't even have the courage to confront it, and they knelt down and surrendered.

After a little interrogation and torture, these pampered nobles confessed to the remnants of the Gastadians who colluded with them and the nobles who Aaron Landis wanted to murder King Garland.

Since then, most of the anti-Garlan nobles' old forces in Kanal Kingdom have been destroyed.

In the past, Kareni still had concerns about the group of Kanal nobles and city owners who opposed King Garlan, worrying that moving them would arouse the antipathy of the Kanal people.

Now that he has the evidence that those guys murdered King Garlan, he naturally no longer needs to be polite.

After that, he ruthlessly cleaned up the remnants of the Gastads, completely cutting off the power of the Gastads in Kanal.

After killing the group of Kanal nobles who murdered him and completely resolving the Kanal matter, Garlan received another group of Kanal nobles who had faithfully surrendered their allegiance to him, and calmed down the frightened them.

Afterwards, he arranged a large number of young officials and priests he brought with him in the city of Kanal and took over all the rights.

In a city where the old regime had been completely destroyed, he began to experiment with his new pseudo-separation of powers.

After all, he alone has the final say on Kanal King City, and this is the best opportunity to experiment with the new regime.

After finishing all these tasks, Garlan left the mature and prudent Kareni to sit here, and the Sixth Army will be stationed in Kanal for a long time in the future.

Afterwards, he set off for Aaron Landis.

…………

Until Garlan completely left Kanal and returned to the territory of Aaron Landis, no one knew the news of Heymos' return.

Immediately afterwards, after the army guarding Garlan and back and forth to Kanal entered the territory of Aaron Landis, the direction of the army suddenly changed, and it actually went in the completely opposite direction from the royal city.

In the middle of the night, the army camped on a gentle hill, and the gurgling water surrounded the hill and left a lake below, which then flowed into the distance.

The center of the army camp is located on the highest point of the hill, surrounded by groups, and the lights in the largest tent are still on.

In the tent, Garlan, who had already changed into loose pajamas, was lying on the bed, propping his chin with one hand, and flipping through the parchment in front of him with the other.

It was a military newspaper from the north.

As he watched, a calf behind him lifted up and circled lightly in the air, as if playing.

When Heymos returned to the tent after taking a bath in the lake, what he saw was the young man's childlike appearance.

The corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Throwing the white towel on the head casually aside, revealing messy hair, the black hair just after wiping was still slightly damp, and it fell softly on the brown shoulders and neck that also remained damp, reflecting the lights , reflecting a little water light.

Sitting down on the edge of the bed, Heymos looked fondly at Garlan who was lying on his stomach.

He asked in a low voice, "What are you looking at?"

At Kanal, Heymos didn't make an appearance.

Using 'Hell's Black Knight' to deal with these guys is too much to think highly of them.

At that time, Garlan said this to Heymos with a smile.

Then, he handed over all the matters concerning the settlement of the old nobles of Kanal to Suo Jia.

Judging from what Garlan meant, it seemed that he did not intend to announce the news of his return.

Although Heymos didn't know what Garlan was planning, he was always conniving with Garlan, and he didn't ask any further questions, and just followed Garlan's wishes.

Therefore, during this period of time, everyone discovered that King Garlan suddenly had a tall guard who always followed him every step of the way.

This guard always wears a helmet in front of people, and most of his face is blocked, making it difficult for people to see clearly.

But it's just a small guard, and no one cares about it.

But at this moment, the black-haired 'guard' sitting beside the king's bed bent down, put one hand on the king's shoulder rebelliously, and casually lowered his head to look at the confidential military report placed in front of the king.

As for the presumptuous behavior of this 'guard', the Young King seemed to have gotten used to it.

Garlan turned his head to the side, still in the posture of propping his side cheek with one hand, his long blond hair was scattered on the bed by his arms like a waterfall.

He looked at Heymos and said, "Before returning to the royal city, are you interested in taking a stroll in other places?"

The snow-white bare feet dangled in the air again.

When the marching direction of the army changed, Heymos vaguely guessed what Garlan wanted to do.

Seeing the boy smiling now, he also smiled.

He lowered his head and kissed Garlan's forehead.

He said, "Wherever you go, I will follow you."

The bright golden eyes blinked for a moment, then curved into the arc of the crescent moon in the night sky at this moment.

"Even hell?"

The young man looked at him with his cheeks sideways, and asked with a smile.

"Even hell."

Looking at Garlan with watery eyes, Heymos replied.

There was not a second of hesitation.

……

No matter where you are, I will follow you.

Even hell.

........................

The land of the northern border of Aaron Landis.

The flames of war had been ignited here half a month ago. Taking advantage of the great opportunity that Aaron Landis sent part of his troops to Kanal, and the black knight died in battle in the royal city of Kanal, Gai, who had been quiet for two years, The narrators impatiently moved southward and invaded the northern border.

The northern border has always been guarded by the Second Legion and the Fifth Legion, and the commander is Cavalier Heya.

These two legions stationed in the northern border all the year round, even when the Garstads came under the king's city, they still firmly guarded this place, and did not let the Geshu who took advantage of the fire to step into Aaron Landis.

If it was an ordinary invasion, the Northern Legion would be enough to resist it.

But this time it was the first time the Geshu people invaded after two years. The army was much larger than before, and the severe shortage of domestic supplies made them extremely urgent and fierce in this invasion.

Therefore, King Garlan sent the First Army of the Central Army, led by the knight of the scorching sun, Caihuos, to the northern border for support.

Subsequently, the two sides fought for more than half a month, and you came and went.

Although Aaron Landis's army generally had the upper hand and controlled the battlefield, the Geshu people obviously had no intention of giving up.

They attacked more and more fiercely, as if they were going to fight the Aaron Landis people desperately.

As a result, the northern battlefield fell into a state of confrontation.

In such a battle situation, a cavalry unit suddenly rushed to the northern battlefield.

When this cavalry unit arrived on the battlefield, it happened to be at the moment when the two sides were fighting fiercely in the afternoon.

Kehos is leading the army to fight with Geshu's army on the frontal battlefield.

As soon as this cavalry unit, apparently belonging to Aaron Landis, approached, Geshurian scouts discovered its presence.

However, because there were only two to 3000 cavalry in total, the Geshu people didn't pay much attention to it, and only sent a reserve cavalry of about 5000 to intercept it.

Accompanied by the sound of rumbling horseshoes, General Geshu, who led 3000 cavalry, soon faced the Aaron Landis cavalry with less than [-] troops.

General Gai Shu looked at the enemy army, whose strength was nearly half that of his own, sneered, and then waved his hand.

The Geshu cavalry army rushed directly towards the Aaron Landis like a flood.

General Gai Shu believes that he can completely crush the opponent directly with the superiority of troops.

However, just as the general Geshu led the cavalry army to rush over aggressively.

The Aaron Landis cavalry on the opposite side also unceremoniously launched a frontal attack on them.

Two cavalry units galloped across the plain, and they were about to collide violently——

At this moment, all of a sudden, General Gai Shu suddenly opened his eyes wide, showing an expression of astonishment, and there was a bit of fear in the astonishment.

Not only him, but the Geshu cavalry who charged behind him also showed the same look of shock and fear.

In front of the Aaron Landis cavalry army, a knight in black armor took the lead and rushed to the forefront.

The familiar figure who was like a devil in the hearts of Geshu people, who could stop children from crying, appeared in front of them again, making their hearts tremble suddenly.

what happened?

Doesn't it mean that this terrible devil is dead?

Why is he here? !

Staring at the black-armored knight who had completely imprinted the fear into the memory of the Geshu people, General Geshu's mind was already in a mess.

fake.

Must be fake!

General Gai Shu told himself so repeatedly in his heart that he forcibly suppressed the fear of seeing that figure.

That's right, the Black Knight is dead.

Been dead for more than three months.

The man in front of him was just wearing a black armor to confuse them!

However, at the next moment, when passing by the black armored knight on horseback, the head that flew up from his shoulder clearly answered his question about whether the black knight was real or not.

Although this answer is completely unimportant to him who died in an instant.

Under the leadership of the black knight, Aaron Landis's cavalry, like sharp arrows, ruthlessly tore apart Geshu's cavalry, which was twice as large as his own.

After more than two years, the Geshu people once again experienced and felt the power and terror of the knight in black armor.

The Geshurian cavalry were routed and fled.

The defeated army fled to the main army.

Then, the subordinate generals who fled back reported the news of the sudden appearance of the black knight to Commander Gaisu in horror.

Commander Gai Shu was stunned.

Black Knight Heymos Appeared?

How can it be?

Isn't he dead?It has been more than three months since he died.

Why would a person who should have died suddenly appear on the battlefield?

Immediately, Commander Gai Shu became suspicious.

Could it be... the black knight is playing dead?

He recalled two years ago that Geshu's army was lured into the northern fortress by Heymos and then defeated in one fell swoop. He also remembered the news that came not long ago that King Garlan pretended to be dying in the city of Kanal and then killed Kanal. The things that the nobles of the old forces in Seoul wiped out in one go.

Aaron Landis is very cunning, he thought.

Whether it is the Black Knight or King Garlan, they are all sinister and cunning guys!

What was King Garlan planning to send both the Sun Knight and the Black Knight to the northern border?

He actually let the black knight pretend to be dead on purpose...

There must be a conspiracy!

Definitely a big conspiracy!

Suspicion could not be suppressed at all, and Commander Geshu, who had decided that the Aaron Landisians must have conspired to do so, waved his hand and gave an order.

"All retreat!!!"

So, the moment Heymos appeared on the battlefield, the Geshu people receded extremely quickly like the ebbing tide.

The Geshurians retreated so quickly that the Aaronlandians were stunned.

They stared blankly at the enemy retreating quickly as if they were afraid of something, and subconsciously looked at the black figure that suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of Aaron Landis let out loud cheers.

They call upon the name of the Black Knight.

They call upon the name of Heymos.

Their cheers echoed endlessly between the heavens and the earth, and on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, Heymos suddenly appeared, alone, he frightened the entire Geshu army back. '

Such an incredible scene has been recorded in history with this sentence.

This matter pushed the name of the black knight Heymos to the peak, and since then completely overwhelmed the name of the knight of the scorching sun.

And in the later generations, people also argued endlessly because of this matter.

Some people think this is a historical fact, and some people think that this is a fabricated thing in Unofficial Romance to highlight the power of Heymos.

After arguing for many years, there has been no conclusion.

……

In fact, when Gaishu's army retreated quickly, the reaction of everyone on the battlefield was...

Commander Geshu: Fortunately, I retreated quickly, otherwise I would fall into the tricks of the despicable Aaron Landis!

As for Aaron Landis...

Keyhors: ? ? ?

Heymos: ? ? ? ?

Gallan: …………

Although from the beginning it was the idea of ​​closing the door and releasing... wolves, intimidating the Geshu people.

But the effect seemed too good to be true.
