A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 266. Chapter 266

After more than a year after Aaron Landis expelled the invaders from the Castadans, it was also more than a year after King Garlan became king, and Aaron Landis’ army went to Canal.

The news that the two powerful knights of Aaron Landis were about to lead an army to Canal together drew the attention of various countries on the continent.

In the early morning, the sun shone on the earth.

Bright brilliance flooded the Plaza of the Gods.

Under the attention of the public, the army about to expedition stood solemnly on the square.

The upright postures of the soldiers are like countless tall poplar trees standing on the ground.

The invisible power slowly radiated from the army, oppressing in all directions, so that the people who were watching and whispering excitedly in the distance were also infected by the solemn atmosphere at this moment, and they closed their mouths involuntarily, and their expressions changed. Be solemn.

The commander-in-chief of the two legions stood before the army.

A black knight in pitch-black armor, Hiemos.

A knight in the blazing sun in bright silver armor, Kehos.

Among countless people, only these two are extremely conspicuous.

They stood steadily, their tall bodies standing on the ground like towering mountains.

The high priest of the god of war Assyria wears a fiery red robe that symbolizes war and holds a golden hammer.

Beside him, a priest held a golden basin of water in his hand.

The water in the golden basin was placed at the feet of the God of War statue in the temple for three full days. During this period, priests of the God of War continued to pray in the temple.

——Pray for the victory of Aaron Landis to the God of War.

The golden hammer is the weapon of the god of war Assyria.

Legend has it that the God of War possesses the power to destroy the world.

When he waved the warhammer in his hand, the storm raged across the earth, and the whole world would tremble.

The high priest points the golden hammer in his hand into the water in the basin, symbolizing that the god of war bestows strength on the soldiers on the expedition.

Then, he stepped aside and stepped aside.

The young king walked down from the high steps, the light-colored cloak was draped from behind him, and the end was hanging down long on the stone steps.

His long golden hair reflected the sunlight, shining brighter than the golden hammer.

The square of the gods is silent.

The two commanders leaned over, landed on one knee, and knelt in front of the young king.

In the myths and legends of Aaron Landis, even the god of war Assyria, who is powerful enough to destroy the world, would willingly kneel in front of the noble sun god Shamash.

Garlan touched the water in the basin with his fingers, and made a water mark on Kehos’s forehead, which was said to be the holy water bestowed by the God of War.

“My knight.”

He looked at Kaijos and said,

“I will wait for your triumph in the city.”

The blond knight smiled slightly, made a fist, and pressed it against his chest.

That is where his heart is.

“Swear to you, my majesty.”

Garlan nodded to Kehos, then turned and walked to the side, where Huimos knelt.

He didn’t say anything, just touched the water with his fingertips and hit the teal rune symbolizing the god of war between Heymos’ eyebrows.

Huimos raised his eyes to look at him, and a smile appeared in his golden-red eyes.

“Wait for me for half a year.”

He said,

“Within half a year, I will return and dedicate Kanal to you.”

He lowered his voice, only he and Garlan could hear him.

With a slightly curved smile, the sharp corners of the eyes turned into soft arcs at this moment.

“I think.”

He said softly.

“Maybe you can figure it out at that time, and you won’t refuse anymore…”

“To shut up.”

Unexpectedly, this guy dared to mention it without any hesitation under everyone’s eyes so boldly, the corners of Gallan’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

Kehos, who couldn’t see far away, looked suspiciously here, and Hiimos seemed to want to continue to say something, Garland hurriedly spoke first, blocking the other party’s words.

“I see. I’ll talk about this kind of thing when you come back.”

Garlan said in a low voice.

He pressed the fingertips of Hiemos’ brows and gave an uncomfortable poke, and stamped a light red mark on the opponent’s forehead with the dark blue rune.

Heimos, who was interrupted and jabbed in his forehead, laughed.

He stretched out his hand and took Garlan’s hand that had not had time to withdraw it.

Under Garlan’s warning gaze, he held Garlan’s hand and placed it in front of his lips.

His kiss fell on the back of Garlan’s hand.

He looked up at Garlan’s eyes and provoked a long and narrow arc.

“I will bring you victory.”

Huimos said, his brows were like swords and frosty.

There is huge confidence in his words.

It is like a sharp sword that is still shining astonishingly on the top of a snow-capped mountain in a chaotic blizzard.

The moment the sharp blade was unsheathed, the sharpness was revealed, making the world look at it.

[I will bring you victory. 】

What kind of arrogance is it to make this man say these words with confidence at this moment.

It was the awe-inspiring aura that oozes from his bones, as if the world is under his feet.

Even if he was kneeling on the ground at this moment, he didn’t cut anything.

Garlan looked at Hiemos quietly.

Perhaps others would think that Heimos was too complacent.

How could it never be defeated on the battlefield-even the Lion King who was once recognized as the most powerful and brave on the mainland could not avoid a defeat.

No one can guarantee that he will bring victory on the battlefield in his life.

Only Garland knew that if Heimos said it, he could do it.

This terrible man has gone through countless battlefields in previous lives and has never lost a single defeat.

Like a king born for war.

No one is his opponent.

But Gallan also knew.

At that time, Heimos was also called the “King of Killing” and the “King of Blood”.

Because as long as it is the battlefield where Hiemos participates, whether it is the enemy or the enemy, the process is extremely tragic, but the enemy has more casualties.

Huimos’s war is like a double-edged sword. While tearing the enemy apart, it will also gouge out a piece of his own flesh and stab himself bloody.

His tactics are cold, even cruel.

In his opinion, the so-called soldiers are just pawns on the chessboard, and as long as necessary, they can be discarded without hesitation. He could send tens of thousands of soldiers to death without blinking, just to make them a pawn to lure the enemy.

In the eyes of Huimos, nothing matters, only the final victory is his ultimate goal.

Therefore, in previous lives, he was able to make the decision to abandon the king’s city and most of Aaron Landis’s people without mercy.

Therefore, he could watch indifferently the countless Aaron Landis people struggling and dying in pain under the iron cavalry of his country, while he was still stationed in the northwest, waiting for the best fighter to arrive.

Although Heimos has changed somewhat around him in this life, but the indifference to life in this person’s bones still exists.

Gallan can imagine it.

Those soldiers of Aaron Landis who were tortured in the hands of the Gastards, as long as he could cause a little trouble for Huimos, he could abandon them without hesitation.

…………

“Himos.”

“Um?”

“I know that in war, both sacrifice and death are inevitable. In order to win, sometimes we have to make cruel choices.”

“I know, you are the commander-in-chief of the army, and your goal is victory.”

“But, Hiemos, from my standpoint, I hope you will value your life and the life of my soldier Aaron Landis.”

“They are soldiers who can give their lives for the country, but they are also the people I want to protect.”

Holding the opponent’s hand with his fingers, Gallan spoke to Himos very softly.

He stared deeply at the man in front of him.

“I hope that my people of Aaron Landis will not easily abandon their fellow citizens until they are irretrievable.”

“This is my hope.”

Huimos raised his eyes, and his eyes met with the bright golden eyes of the young man for a moment.

Seeing Gallan’s hopeful look in his eyes, he smiled, the sharpened eyes softened a little.

“good.”

He said.

One word, one sentence.

“I will bring your people back to Aaron Landis.”

That is a promise and an oath.

…………

……………………

As summer is about to pass, and autumn is about to come, Aaron Landis’ army sets out for Canal.

A few days later, the army crossed the Kamea Plain, arrived at the border of Aaron Landis near Canal, and joined the Sixth Army of the Western Frontier, which was rebuilt and commanded by the veteran Kaleni.

For more than a year, Tewa, who had been practicing under Kaleni and receiving Garlan’s secret order to keep an eye on the situation in Kanal, returned to the First Army and returned to Kaijos.

Just in case, in addition, the veteran Kalenni was indeed too old to be suitable for long-distance and rushing operations, so Galan asked the Sixth Army to still guard the west and not participate in the attack on Kanal.

After resting in the West for more than ten days, Aaron Landis’ army crossed the border.

From where the Gasdad had invaded Aaron Landis, the army set foot on the land of Kanal.

Since then, the war of the Aaron Landis against the Gasdad began.

Unlike the original strategy of the Gasdards ignoring other cities and attacking the city like lightning, Aaron Landis’ army did not attack the city of Kanal in the first place.

Two world-famous powerful knights each led their own legions, up and down, attacking in different directions.

Aaron Landis’s two armies were slow to attack, and it could even be said to be a little slow, step by step, steadily fighting.

Gallan had already announced that he would attack Canal more than a month ago, so the Gasdad had already reacted.

Their forces are mainly concentrated in important large cities, and there are not many troops stationed in ordinary cities.

The Aaron Landis army was not in a hurry to attack the important cities heavily guarded by the Gasdad people, but chose to attack the places where Gasdad had fewer troops first.

Huimos is training soldiers.

The reformed legion is a newborn legion, like a newborn cub.

Although he was confident that what he bred would be a beast that shocked the world, at this time, the minions of this newborn cub were still slightly immature.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry to confront Gasdade’s strong soldiers, but to start a few less dangerous wars as a grindstone.

After a few battles, the legions quickly ran into each other, and their combat effectiveness was also rapidly increasing.

As a result, Huimos led the army that had grown up and began to flourish, and violently rushed to important large cities.

In a blink of an eye, four months have passed.

In the past few months, good news continued to spread to the city of Aaron Landis.

Almost every ten days a week, the King City will receive a good news from the First Army or the Third Army.

In the beginning, every time the people of the royal city saw the messenger flying towards the palace on the royal city avenue, they would nervously guess the victory or defeat of the army in Kanal.

After that, no one guessed at all.

Anyway, every time is a good news, without exception.

You can’t make a bet at all.

On this day, near the evening, the citizens of the royal city saw the familiar figure of the messenger riding horses on the avenue again.

They talked with the people around them calmly.

“We seem to have won again.”

“Yeah, many places have been attacked.”

“A little faster than I thought, I thought this battle would be deadlocked for a while, after all, the Gasdad people looked so good at the beginning.”

“The city of Kanal should be down soon, too.”

“Yes, I always feel that our army will soon take back the city of Kanal from the Gastads and give it to our majesty.”

Seeing the back of the messenger going away, everyone talked a lot, and for a while, they only felt embarrassed.

The awe-inspiring appearance of Gasdad’s army at the time seemed to be yesterday.

They had been terrified of that terrible enemy, and even thought that Aaron Landis would perish in the opponent’s hands.

However, in a blink of an eye, more than a year later, they had actually counterattacked the terrible enemy back.

Especially in the past few months, Aaron Landis’s army is pressing harder and harder, and the Gasdards have been retreating steadily.

This made them feel proud at the same time.

Sure enough, a momentary misstep is nothing, Aaron Landis has always been the strongest.

No one can beat Aaron Landis wherever the cavalry goes.

Aaron Landis thought so proudly.

…………

Although it was evening, the government affairs of the palace had ceased.

However, according to the regulations, the urgent report delivered from the front line must be presented to the king immediately, even in the middle of the night.

Therefore, soon, the Taputi magistrate got this victory.

“Your Majesty, a good news from Canal.”

The magistrate smiled and delivered the emergency report to Garlan.

During this period of time, the frontline Lien Chan Lianjie, Your Majesty was in a good mood, and she was naturally in a good mood.

Uncovering the special bright red lacquer sealing wax on the scroll, Gallan opened it, and the familiar handwriting in the good news appeared before his eyes.

It was a good news written by Kayjos himself.

There is nothing superfluous in the victory report, only that the next important city will be attacked.

Gallan got up and walked to the side wall of the palace.

A huge map hung there, clearly showing all the cities and terrain of Kanal.

Many cities on the map are marked with a red cross-starting from the border of Aaron Landis, going west, the important cities above and below Canal are full of red crosses-all of them are Kaijos The city attacked by Huimos all the way down.

Two curved marching routes were formed along the red crosses on the map. However, the two lines attacked the same place after cutting an arc.

Draw a new red cross on the map. From the map, the city is very close to the royal city of Kanal.

“It will be over soon.”

Day by day, I watched these two arrows approaching King Kanal little by little.

Seeing that the ultimate goal was right in front of him, even if he was not on the battlefield of Kanal, Garlan not only felt excited with empathy.

Looking at the map in front of him with scorching eyes for a while, Garlan couldn’t contain his excitement, and turned his head to share the joy with the people around him.

“Himos, this place is plain, there is no obstruction, and you will be able to—”

When he looked back, he only saw Taputi who looked at him in astonishment.

Gallan stayed for a while.

The next second, when he reacted to what he had said, he turned his head back abruptly.

It was so excited that he forgot that Huimos was at Canal, not by his side.

Because Huimos will always be by his side, no matter when.

So he subconsciously felt that that person was still by his side…

Raising his head and staring straight at the map, Gallan used this to cover up his embarrassment.

He thought, he might just be a little uncomfortable.

Not used to that person disappearing from him.

…

Garlan, who was staring at the map, did not notice.

Behind him, the female officer watching his every move sighed softly.

A little helplessness was revealed in that sigh, and there was a deep displeasure hidden under the helplessness.
