A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 306. Chapter 306

The sun is dwindling, and the sunlight between the sky and the earth is disappearing little by little.

The afterglow of the setting sun shrouded the distant horizon, covering it with a layer of crimson light.

The white hall was still very quiet, with nothing but breathing sounds of different frequencies.

Huimos had been standing next to the malachite sarcophagus for a whole day, motionless, as if completely still there.

He didn’t raise his head until the last ray of sunlight completely disappeared.

A little shimmer in the red eyes made people shudder.

“You can all leave now.”

A voice suddenly sounded in the hall that had been silent for too long, which unavoidably surprised people.

Soga raised his head to look at Huimos and frowned.

He understood what Heymos said, and Heymos said, let them all go, meaning that he would stay here.

“Master Huimos…”

Before Soga could finish his words, Heimos interrupted him.

“go.”

Huimos’ voice was so cold that he never even looked back at everyone.

Suojia could only see his back, and the indisputable command sound from above.

Without waiting for Soga to say anything, the high priest Shamash who was standing next to him turned abruptly and left without saying a word.

Suo Jia sighed in his heart, and followed Xiemur to leave here.

At this moment, Hiemos’ voice came from behind again.

“Tell the guard of the mausoleum to close the gate and no one can break in.”

Obviously it was the hottest late summer, but his voice was only the cold of the north of winter.

“Unauthorized intruders, no matter who they are, are killed on the spot.”

Suo Jia’s footsteps paused.

“Yes.”

He turned and bowed to answer.

Once this order was issued, no one would be able to step into the royal tomb unless the guards in the royal tomb were killed.

Suojia stood in the endless square of the royal tomb, and the door of the white palace slowly closed before his eyes.

The figure standing at the end of the hall disappeared into his sight along with the closed stone gate.

He turned his head and looked at the more and more lonely figure of Xiemuer who had gone away in the dark night, and sighed deeply.

Suppressing the worry in his heart, he walked heavily and turned away.

Above his head, the sky is full of stars.

…………

The huge stone gate of the White Palace slowly closed, isolating everything from the main hall.

With the final slamming sound, Heimos’s eyes that had been closed suddenly opened.

He leaned over, stretched out his hand, and hugged Garlan, who was lying in the malachite sarcophagus.

The heavy footsteps echoed in the silent hall, and Huimos held Garland up to the stone steps on the side of the hall.

On the main hall of the Royal Tomb Palace, there is a relief stone statue of the goddess of the underworld who protects the soul.

On the left side of the main hall, there is a spacious stone step, along with the main hall and the highest point of the palace.

It leads directly to the top of the palace.

Huimos stepped onto the stone steps and walked upward step by step.

The walls on both sides of the stone steps began to depict the city on earth. As they went up, they became a pattern of wings, and then up, there were runes of clouds and sunlight. At the end of the last stone steps, it was an exhibition. The arms seem to be greeted by the pattern of the goddess who came.

The stone steps and the patterns along the road mean that the soul of the owner of the palace of the king’s tomb will enter the kingdom of heaven along the invisible road.

At the end of the high stone steps, is a spacious temple, located at the highest point of the entire palace.

On the head is the vaulted sky roof, and on the surrounding stone walls are reliefs of the gods of Aaron Landis, symbolizing that this is the kingdom of heaven where the gods are.

Huimos hugged Garlan and walked into the temple. He leaned over and placed Garlan on the ground. He landed on one knee, squatted halfway on the ground, and put Garlan’s upper body in his arms with both arms.

He lowered his eyes and gently rubbed the soft but cold blond hair of the person in his arms.

Then Huimos raised his head and looked around at the relief stone statues of the gods on the stone wall of the temple.

The temple did not light up the lights, it was pitch black, only the tiny stars shone through the skylights, bringing a little light to the place.

In the dark night, only Heimos’s golden-red eyes were terribly bright.

There was clearly no light in his eyes, and he was born with the cold light of the pupils of cold-blooded animals like lizards in the dark night.

At a glance, it’s cold to the bones.

“The gods… are they?”

He stared coldly at the reliefs of the gods in the darkness, his eyes were like the bottom of the abyss, without the slightest anger, only a dead silence.

His voice is not loud, but it seems unusually clear in the silent temple.

“I know, you can hear me.”

Huimos’ voice echoed in the empty temple, like traces of ice cracks.

“The gods of Aaron Landis, I want to make a deal with you.”

“I can promise you, do as you ask, let destiny follow what you call the’right track’.”

“But, as a price…”

The night is silent, and in the temples of the gods, only the voice of one person is ringing.

……………

Time flies by, and in a blink of an eye, two days and nights have passed.

Seeing that it was already the evening of the third day, Suo Jia, with dark circles in both eyes, stood at the gate of the royal tomb, anxiously angry, and kept walking around in front of the gate.

An armored guard of the mausoleum, holding a silver gun, stood in front of the gate with a solemn expression, performing his duties faithfully without squinting.

They were like a lifeless stone statue, no matter how Soga swayed in front of them, there was no movement.

But Suojia knew that as long as he dared to step inside, the tip of the spear in the hand of the guard would stab him mercilessly.

This is the third day!

Suo Jia thought anxiously, stretched his neck, and constantly looked at the white palace in the royal tomb, wishing to see the scene inside through the thick stone wall.

However, no matter how he looked around, the stone gate of the White Palace was still tightly closed, motionless.

He frowned, thinking of the conversation he had with Huimos that day, and he became more anxious.

Could it be that Master Huimos really planned to…

Just when Suo Jia was in a hurry, two people appeared at the entrance of the royal tomb.

Xie Muer still had an expressionless appearance, glanced at him, and then looked towards the closed white palace.

The blond knight who had not been seen for two days was only indifferent at the moment, as if the little tenderness had been taken away by that person’s passing, and there was no trace left.

“He hasn’t come out yet?”

Kaihus asked.

Suojia nodded.

“It’s already the third day, I’m worried—”

The last half of the sentence was swallowed by Soga, but everyone present understood his unfinished words, and their expressions became serious.

Although the grief in their hearts has not been reduced by half, they cannot let the situation develop like this.

After all, Huimos is the only heir to the throne of Aaron Landis, and he must not have an accident.

Otherwise, the kingdom that King Gallan has finally revived will decline again.

The high priest was about to walk inside, but the guard of the mausoleum guarding at the door dazzled, and the silver spear in his hand was pointed at him.

Xiemuer raised the heavy golden scepter in his hand expressionlessly.

“…It seems that I can only rush in.”

Kaihus said lightly.

He raised his hand, and the long sword from his waist came out with a loud sound.

The prince said that his remaining task is to protect Aaron Landis.

He failed to complete his vow to protect the prince, at least the prince’s last entrustment must be done.

The knight of the scorching sun and the high priest of Shamash want to forcefully enter the tomb, and the loyal guards of the tomb will not retreat.

Just as the two sides were about to trigger, suddenly, a long and heavy rubbing sound came from the tomb of the king.

The atmosphere that had originally been drawn up was stagnant, Suo Jia’s heart that had been hanging high finally came down, and he quickly raised his head and looked inside.

At this look, his breath was just a sigh.

He stared blankly at the familiar and unfamiliar figure.

Kaihuos and Xiemuer in front of him looked at the figure, and a complex color flashed across their eyes.

In the blazing setting sun, Huimos emerged from the tomb of the king and walked towards them.

The crimson sunset shines on his body and on his hair.

Huimos looked indifferent and could not see the slightest emotion, but among his dark hair, the few strands scattered on the cheeks on his forehead had become snow-white.

…………

Aaron Landis

During the reign of King Gallan, later generations were called King Xianming Ji Nian.

Five years later, King Gallan died of illness.

The rule of King Xian Ming is over.

Afterwards, the former military commander-in-chief Huimos ascended the throne and was initially called King Huimos.

During his reign, later generations called the Heimos Chronicles.

After King Huimos succeeded to the throne, he continued to appoint the ministers and generals of the Garlan period, continue to use the code of the Garlan period, and continue to implement the governance policy of the Garlan period.

And he himself is dedicated to military development.

[I hope that my people of Aaron Landis will never abandon their fellow citizens easily. 】

That is what King Xianming once said.

It has been spread in the army and in Aaron Landis. Since then, it has gradually become the tradition of the Aaron Landis to rescue the captured soldiers.

When King Huimos led his army in battle, he also fulfilled this promise.

This is the beginning of the centripetal force of Aaron Landis’ army, unafraid of life and death, and its combat effectiveness has gradually become stronger than that of any country.

In the third year of Heymos, because Aaron Landis unilaterally cut off the purchase of livestock products such as beef, mutton and wool in the country, the economy of the country, which has been regarded as a pillar industry, was hit hard. .

Ith sent troops outrageously to attack Aaron Landis.

King Huimos led an army to the east to counterattack, defeating the army of Isth, and then directly marched eastward and took the city of Isth.

In the fourth year, the city of Yesh was breached and Yesh was destroyed.

During the First World War of Iss, the veteran Kaleni, who was over 70 years old but insisted on participating in this expedition, made great contributions in the war, but after the death of Iss, he died with a smile soon after returning to the city.

In the fifth year of Huimos, Geshu and Gasdade joined forces to attack Aaron Landis.

With the assistance of Tasda, the offensive of the two countries was defeated by King Huimos one after another.

In this battle, the name of Xinyas, the younger brother of King Gallan, spread throughout the world.

In the seventh year, Aaron Landis and Tastar joined forces to attack Geshu.

After two years of strenuous support, the royal city of Geshu was broken by King Huimos.

In this war, the general Novi, a disciple of the blazing sun knight Kehos and later known as one of the pillars of Aaron Landis, began to shine.

In the ninth year of Heimos’s chronology, the country was destroyed.

Seeing that Aaron Landis is unstoppable, part of the small countries that have been struggling to survive in the cracks of the three kingdoms of Geshu, Iss, and Aaron Landis take the initiative to vote for Aaron Landis and recognize it as the suzerain country.

Aaron Landis, who successively annexed the two big countries and several small countries of Issi, Geshu, and many small countries, temporarily stopped its aggression and expansion in the surrounding areas and began to recuperate.

While recuperating on the mainland, the huge navy established by Aaron Landis in the past ten years began to sweep the southern waters.

In the thirteenth year, Aaron Landis had unified the entire southern waters except Elson Island.

Born in Tozes, the general who made great contributions to the naval command of the navy, Seth, retired because of his old age, settled in Tozes with his family, and died eight years later.

In the fourteenth year of Huimos, King Huimos led an army to the west.

He broke through many small countries such as the Sidar country occupied by the Gasdad people, forcing the Gasdad people to flee to the northwest back to the Gasdad snowfield.

During the expedition to the Gastad Snow Field, the’slave general’ Twa, who was already more than 60 years old, fell ill and died on the battlefield due to unacceptable water and soil.

In the fifteenth year, Aaron Landis Vanguard General Novi broke through the royal city of Gasdade.

Gasdade was subjugated.

At this point, Aaron Landis unified the entire continent.

Since then, this continent has been called Aaron Landis.

Only Tasda in the Northland Plateau and Elson in the Southern Ocean Islands have been allowed to continue their own country because they have been leading the army to follow Aaron Landis in the North and South wars.

Aaron Landis has since entered the Empire period.

Therefore, the Heimos Chronicle was called the Imperial Chronicle by later generations.

The bard Shuros retired after Aaron Landis unified the continent, and he was never seen again.

In the twenty-eighth year of the empire, Kehos, known as the knight of the blazing sun, died at the age of sixty-six.

This knight, who is known for his romance, has been among many noble ladies, unmarried and childless all his life.

He has fought on the battlefield all his life, starting at the age of eighteen, fighting for Aaron Landis for more than forty years.

After his death, because he was the guardian knight of King Garlan, he requested permission from Emperor Huimos before he died and was buried in the side hall of King Garlan’s tomb palace.

In the 30th year of the empire, the high priest of Shamash, Shemur, passed away, in the seventieth year.

Although it is not recorded in the history books, in the same year, the magistrate Tapti who served Emperor Huimos passed away, the same year in seventy.

In the thirty-second year of the empire, Emperor Huimos passed away at the age of fifty-nine.

He did not leave a descendant, but chose a person from the bloodline of the royal family of Aaron Landis to be the heir to the throne.

There is a record of wild history that the appearance of Emperor Huimos has hardly changed in decades since he took the throne.

At the time of his death, he was nearly sixty years old and looked exactly the same as he was twenty-seven or eighteen years old when he took the throne. Everyone thought this was the shelter of the gods.

Later generations regarded this record in the wild history as a myth and legend made up by the Aaron Landis for the ancients, and they passed by with a smile.

…………

At the end of summer, the sun was scorching hot, and the earth was exposed to the heat like a fire.

The high priest of Nanna stood in front of the snow-white king’s tomb, looking at the two palaces standing side by side.

Because he is getting older and his eyes are much worse, he has to squint to see more carefully.

The hot wind blew over, shaking his gray hair on the sideburns.

He thought, in a blink of an eye, more than thirty years have passed.

“Your High Priest.”

A voice came from behind, and Suo Jia turned around and saw someone approaching him.

It was a chubby figure.

Soga squinted at the visitor.

Back then, the little fat man who wagd his tail like a puppy and wandered around King Garlan, now he is no less powerful than him.

Today Taer stands on the royal court and controls the financial power of the empire, which makes one dare not look at him.

The chubby face still had a grinning appearance, but that smile never reached the bottom of his eyes again.

Taer said: “General Fataya has been waiting for you outside for a long time.”

Although Fataya married Suo Jia, he did not settle down.

In the past few decades, she has been following Huimos in the South and North, and is the only general in Aaron Landis who has become a general as a female.

Although he is now old and no longer on the battlefield, he still leads the position of commander of the city guard in the royal city.

Suojia nodded, turned and walked quickly outside.

After walking a few steps, he heard Taal’s low murmur coming from behind.

“Prince……”

Suo Jia’s footsteps paused, he turned his head and saw Taer standing there, looking at the white palace in the king’s tomb, with a trance on his cheeks.

He saw the corner of Taer’s eyes, and there were also deep wrinkles.

For some reason, there was a sense of sorrow in his heart.

After walking out of the royal tomb, Suojia saw the female general who had mostly gray hair but was still standing erect in a leather armor.

The woman he loves most in his life.

His eyes became gentle.

“Fataya, are you here to see your majesty?”

Fataya grumbled.

She looked at the royal tomb in the distance, and sighed: “Alright, for your majesty, it’s a relief…Finally, she can follow King Gallan…”

“Fataya?”

Suojia was startled, and Fataya’s clear tone surprised him.

Although King Garlan publicly announced the matter between him and Heimos in front of several of them, he did not have time to announce it to the outside world, so…

At that time, everyone who knew about it was tight-lipped about it, and he never told Fataya.

“How do you know…”

Fataya smiled at her lover.

There was emotion in the smile, and a deep sigh.

She remembered that a long time ago, in the bright sunlight that day, Heimos, who was riding on horseback, showed more gentle gaze than anything at Garland, who was holding him in front of him.

He looked at Garlan, his eyes bright as if they were shining.

She just watched from the side, and her heart moved for a moment inexplicably.

“Soga, didn’t you find it?”

The female knight sighed.

“From the day King Gallan passed away, he has never laughed again.”

From that day on, there was only a bottomless abyss in that person’s eyes, and there was no more light.

Perhaps since that day,’Huimos’ no longer exists.

In this world, only the king of Aaron Landis.

“…”

Suo Jia did not answer.

After a long silence, he raised his hand and gently stroked the strands of white forehead scattered in front of Fataya’s eyes.

How lucky he is to be able to grow old with his beloved.

…………

……………………

The death of Emperor Huimos, heralded the end of the golden age of famous generals since the era of King Xian Ming.

Many stars have fallen or aged one after another, and Aaron Landis’s celebrity is not picked up.

In addition, this period coincided with the most intense time of the slave-liberation movement, and the Aaron Landis Empire was in turmoil.

Under the guardianship of the two generals, Novi and Xinyas, known as the “pillars of the Aaron Landis Empire,” coupled with the presence of old and important officials such as Tal and Suoga in the royal court, the turbulent empire finally stabilized.

The empire of Aaron Landis therefore continued.

According to historical records.

During this period of turbulence, when Emperor Aaron Landis led his army on an expedition, a rebel army mainly composed of slaves and civilians took advantage of the emptiness of the king’s city and actually invaded the king’s city.

The rebels even invaded the tombs of the kings that are only a river away from the palaces. They dug up the tombs and palaces of the kings in the tombs and snatched the funerary objects such as gold and jewelry.

However, when this army arrived in front of King Garlan’s tomb palace, Qiu did not commit any crimes and retreated in front of the tomb.

The mausoleum and palace of Heimos the Great, who was located after King Garland, was thus preserved.

…………

Thousands of years have passed since then.

In this long period of time, the Aaron Landis Empire has flourished and declined.

There are times of reunification and there are times of division.

There are times of heyday, there are also times of life and death.

Sometimes it was invaded by powerful foreign enemies when it was declining, and when the country was subjugated several times, and even when it was divided by many countries and slaughtered by foreign races, it was about to be subjugated and extinct.

But no matter what happened, no matter what happened, thousands of years passed, Aaron Landis was always there.

[Aaron Landis will never give up their fellow citizens. 】

They always remember this sentence.

A word handed down from the age of the ancient King Xianming made them stand up from decay and destruction again and again.

That has become the faith of all Aaron Landis people into their bones and blood.

It is the existence of this faith that allows Aaron Landis to stand on the land of Aaron Landis no matter what kind of suffering and hardship he has experienced.

…………

……………………

In later generations, in Aaron Landis’s thousands of years of ups and downs, the history of the three dynasties of Lion King, King Xian Ming, and King Huimos is the most talked about by future generations.

It was the most magnificent and famous era in Aaron Landis’ history.

Among them, the most researched by historians is not the heroic era of the war-torn Lion King, nor is it the empire year in which Heimos fought the Quartet and finally unified the continent of Aaron Landis.

What historians are most curious about is the shortest period of King Xian Ming in these two dynasties.

King Gallan, who was later called the King of Wise, was reigned for only five years, but Aaron Landis had undergone earth-shaking changes.

In the era of King Wise, it may not be as exciting as the heroic era of the Lion King, and perhaps not as magnificent as the era of King Huimos.

However, it was a special era that shaped the belief and civilization of the Aaron Landis people.

The wise king Gallan was the only king of Aarondis who, decades after his death, still allowed the Aarondis who had become rebels to retreat from his tomb.

His love among the Aaron Landis can be seen.

At the same time, countless’firsts’ in the history of the world all appeared in the era of the wise king of Aaron Landis.

The first centralized kingdom in history was established.

The first kingdom in history to begin mass emancipation of slaves.

The first kingdom in history to establish a plague prevention mechanism.

The first kingdom in history to establish a commercial tax mechanism.

The first kingdom in history to build extensive roads extending in all directions.

The first kingdom in history to create a’system of separation of powers’.

…Such as all the above, all of the above were born in the rule of the King Xianming.

The most important and most influential one is the iconic existence of Aaron Landis, a code created by King Xian Ming.

The Code of Aaron Landis, also known as the’Code of the King of Wise’.

It contains many laws and regulations of the ancient country of Aaron Landis at that time, such as the national law, civil law, criminal law, and military law. The original text is carved on dozens of obsidian steles in the Shamash Temple in the King City of Aaron Landis.

It is the world’s first normative and systematic written code, and it is the foundation of all laws in later generations. It holds a pivotal position in the legal history of the entire world.

The Code of the King Sage is also the proof and symbol of Aaron Landis as an ancient civilization with a long history.

………………

King Gallan.

Aaron Landis is the thirty-sixth king.

Reigned for five years.

Because of his fair and wise governance, compassion and compassion for his people, he is deeply loved by the people.

He was honored as the King of Xian Ming by later generations.

In just five years, he has created many origins in Aaron Landis, like a miracle, leaving a strong mark in world civilization.

Therefore, later historians will call this era, the [Miracle Age of King Xian Ming].

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

…

………………

A strong desire to survive is the end of history, not the end of the full text.

…………

And, regarding some friends, Heimos took away Garland’s merits.

I want to say that merit cannot be taken away.

As the great emperor, Huimos was remembered by history for his unifying feats. He is not the only one. There will surely be an emperor with similar feats in Aaron Landis’s later generations.

But what Garland left to later generations was civilization and spirit.

He has been remembered by the people of Aaron Landis as a faith, and is also remembered by history as one of the symbols of Aaron Landis’ civilization.

…… Um… to make an analogy.

The Great Wall and Qin Shihuang, who do you think can be more a symbol of civilization and spirit?
