A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 271. Chapter 271

It was early in the morning, and there was already a glimmer of light on the horizon.

Patter.

A stone rolled down along the mountain wall.

It fell to the ground, rolled over twice, and lay down quietly.

The slave yard of the palace is at the end, which is the place closest to the mountain wall.

At this moment, Noor looked at the rolling stones under his feet, a little strange.

After staying in this place for more than a year, it was the first time he saw a stone falling from it.

Patter.

A companion not far away suddenly groaned in a low voice.

Noor saw that his companion was holding a larger stone in his hand, and asked the surroundings: “Which one of you hit me with a stone?”

This person thought it was his companions who had been waiting for a long time, and because he was in a good mood to regain his freedom, so on a whim he threw a rock at him for fun.

At this moment, there was a crisp sound.

Many people have noticed that another stone fell from the sky and fell to the ground.

Subconsciously, everyone looked up at the sky.

Huimos also looked up instinctively.

In the next second, the golden-red pupils shrank sharply to a point.

The huge shadow formed by the gravel and broken wood that fell from the sky overwhelmed his entire figure–

…………

………………

The Royal City of Kanal is built on the hillside.

That mountain is also known as Mount Kanal, which is hundreds of meters high.

Behind it is a huge mountain range that stretches endlessly.

Because the last piece of the palace building was embedded on the mountain wall, before that, the craftsmen of Kanal spent a little bit of effort to smooth the original uneven mountain wall, and then paste the white stone slab on the mountain wall. .

In this way, from a distance, the mountain wall looks like it was built manually, and even the curving arc of the gurgling water flowing down the mountain wall is designed to be just right.

For so many years, the Royal City of Kanal has never experienced an earthquake, and all the water flowing down from the mountain wall are very thin springs. These countless springs only converge to form a river at the bottom of the mountain wall. There is no possibility of flooding.

Therefore, this white palace has been standing steadily and peacefully under the mountain wall.

The people of Kanal believe that this is a place blessed by the gods.

However, at this moment, no one saw that, on the mountainside about a hundred meters up from the mountain wall, nearly a hundred Gastadians were busy on the slope here.

The gurgling spring water flows down from the top of the mountain wall and flows into a depression here.

Originally, this depression was very shallow, less than half a meter deep. On weekdays, the spring water will continue to flow from this full cave.

But now, the thick trunks are tied together by strong ropes and blocked at the opening of the cavity, raising the originally extremely shallow cavity to a few meters high.

Obviously someone did it deliberately.

The ropes that tied the trunks extended from both sides, divided into several strands, and tied them far away on the thick trunks on both sides. The huge load-bearing capacity made each rope stretched to its limit.

And on the inner side of this tree row, a lot of stones or chopped wooden pieces were thrown in.

They piled up in one place, almost completely blocking the flowing spring water.

After several days of accumulation, the spring water has filled this man-made cave several meters high, and has even overflowed from above.

The long night has passed, and it is early in the morning. On the high mountains, one can clearly see the distant horizon, and the fiery red sunrise is slowly rising.

A burly Gasdad stood here, looking down at the white palace at his feet.

It was him who had brought nearly a hundred soldiers to artificially create such a dangerous situation in front of him in these few days.

He looked down at the Aaron Landis at the foot of the mountain, the size of an ant, and the tiny palace.

At this moment, he saw the tallest white tower in the palace, and a black flag protruding from the window was constantly shaking.

His eyes became fierce by the way, turned around and waved his hand.

Everyone standing nearby retreated far away.

Someone has long been standing next to the rope-bound tree trunk, holding a sharp blade.

When their leader waved his hand, they waved a sharp blade and severely cut the rope in front of them.

There was a loud bang.

The rafts of tree trunks that were blocking the hole crashed down, and the huge tree trunks tied together spread out in the air.

The huge water spouted fiercely.

The countless large and small stones piled up in the depression were held by the terrifying jet of water and gushing out together, falling from high in the sky.

They followed the flood rushing all the way from the top of the mountain wall, breaking down countless trees and boulders.

Swept down.

The first thing that was washed away by the black mountain torrent was the white tower leaning on the mountain wall. You could vaguely see a small black flag being drawn into the flood and disappearing without a trace in an instant.

The huge boulder trees that rolled down from the mountain wall smashed into pieces one by one the ingenious buildings embedded on the mountain wall.

The bursting building collapsed forward and was eventually caught up in a torrent of gravel.

The huge roar attracted the attention of everyone in the royal city.

When looking up, everyone’s face showed a look of horror.

They saw countless boulders and collapsed buildings rolling down from the mountain wall like a flood, instantly submerging the huge white palace.

The rubble swallowed the palace, smashed the ground, and then merged with the river surrounding the palace to form an even larger mudslide, rushing toward the entire city without stopping.

For a time, screams in the city came and went, accompanied by the neighing of frightened horses.

Too late to think, the survival instinct can make everyone run forward desperately.

The mudslide chased behind them like a death god.

Large tracts of buildings were shattered by it.

Countless people who couldn’t escape took a step slower and were swallowed in the black torrent, and instantly there was no bones left.

…

After a long time, the rocks finally stopped collapsing, and the earth finally returned to calm.

The sun has risen into the sky, and the people who have escaped from the dead looked at the ruins buried by the mudslide in front of them with lingering fear.

Kaihuos stood in front of this huge ruin.

The hand hanging to his side was clenched hard, and he gritted his teeth, so hard that his facial muscles were jerking and beating.

The jade and stone were burned.

No one would have thought that the Gasdad people would be so frantic.

The ruins in front of him almost encompassed a full one-third of the royal city.

All the houses in the large area near the palace were crushed under the gravel and soil, and hundreds of thousands of Kanal people were buried alive in their homes.

The palace closest to the mountain wall has been completely smashed across and buried deep underground.

Although part of them escaped, many Aaron Landis people who had not had time to escape from the palace died among them.

Among them,… Aaron Landis’ coach, Huimos.

According to the soldiers who escaped, Huimos was in the deepest part of the palace, closest to the mountain wall.

Glancing darkly at the ruins in front of him, Kaihus’ nails pierced deeply into his palm, and he closed his eyes tightly.

No one can escape in such a dangerous situation.

Before the roar and power of nature, the power of mankind was so small.

He knew he couldn’t do it.

Even as strong as that person can’t do it.

Although he had always been at odds with Huimos, at this moment, Kayjos was uncomfortable and had a hard to breathe feeling.

He never thought that that person… would die in this way.

And he felt so sudden and unacceptable.

Then, Prince Garland, who is closer to Huimos than anyone else, if he learns of the death of Huimos, then…

…………

……………………

To the far southeast, a golden palace stands on the seashore, gleaming in the rising sun.

The autumn and winter seasons of Aaron Landis have just passed, and spring has arrived.

The warm spring breeze blows from the sea, with the breath of moist sea water.

White seagulls are flying in the endless blue sky.

The teenager who had just woken up stretched and got out of bed.

Bright sunlight shone from the skylight and fell on his eyes.

There was a short call from the open French window, and Gallan lifted the thin screen and walked to the outside balcony.

The black eagle Anu stood proudly on the bird stand, his black feathers shining black against the sun, and a cold posture. After seeing Garlan, he patted his wings lightly.

Gallan reached out and teased it.

“Don’t worry, your master will be back in half a month at most.”

He said with a smile.

Gently pecked Garlan’s finger, Anu stared at him with bright black eyes, revealing the peculiar sharpness of a bird of prey.

The fierce aura exuding all over it is very similar to its owner.

Thinking of that person inadvertently, Garlan turned his head and looked to the west.

That is the direction Kanal is in.

In the military report he received yesterday, he said that he had begun to attack the royal city of Kanal.

With the skills of Huimos and Kayjos, it shouldn’t take too long to break the city.

The person who always followed him in the past suddenly disappeared without a trace, which made him very unaccustomed.

During the period when Huimos had just left, there were several times when he was lost in thought and forgot other things, and wanted to find someone to talk to, almost calling out the name of Huimos.

Fortunately, in those few times, except for one time when Tapti heard it, other times there was no one around him, or he reacted in time and closed his mouth.

Otherwise, if Heimos comes back and hears this, the guy doesn’t know what he will say.

Maybe he would say something like he missed him a lot…

…………

………………

All right.

When the big deal came, he admitted frankly that he was really worried about him.

After all, that guy is the commander-in-chief of the army, so he often thinks about it as a king, is it normal?

Gallan pursed her lips slightly, lowering her eyes to think.

He was teasing Anu absentmindedly, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth that he hadn’t even noticed.

However, he thought that according to Huimos’s character, he would probably throw all the troubles after the war to Kayjos after he took down the city of Kanal and ended the war, and he would rush back quickly. .

So maybe you don’t need it for half a month, and you can get back in a week.

Um.

Well, he let Taputi prepare the banquet earlier. After all, as a fair king, his subordinates have made such a great contribution, so he has to give some rewards.

Of course, if that guy makes any…excessive demands, he will never agree.

Gallan was thinking about some messy things.

Suddenly, there was an eagle crowing next to him, sharp to the extreme, revealing a strong sorrowful meaning.

His heart beat violently in surprise.

A dark shadow rushed past his eyes, and went straight to the sky.

“Anu?”

Gallan cried out in surprise.

Anu, the black eagle who was still staying quietly on the bird rack, suddenly rushed into the sky, and his wings hovered in a circle above him, and he let out a stern long cry again.

Gallan was suddenly flustered.

He had never heard Anu scream like this.

“Annu–!”

After that mournful cry, the Black Hawk circled around him again, then spread the black wings and flew to the west like lightning.

It flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, you can only see a black spot in the sky from a distance.

Garlan stood on the balcony, staring blankly at Anu who left him and flew away.

The bright sunlight fell on him, but he felt cold all over for some reason.

An indescribable sense of panic emerged from the deepest part of his body.

He stared blankly in the direction Anu was leaving.

The west.

Canal.

A gust of wind blew in from that direction, lifting a strand of blond hair across the shadow-shrouded eyes of the teenager.

There was a disturbing breath from far away.

It seems that something terrible is happening far away…

[I will bring Kanal’s throne and your people back to Aaron Landis. 】

[I swear to you. 】
