The northern frontier and the eastern frontier were victorious one after another, repelling the enemy.
They weren't actually the first places to win, though.
The Sixth Army on the western frontier was raided by the Gasdad vanguard army, and was caught off guard, and was not strong enough to fight the Gasdadians in terms of individual combat effectiveness and strength, so it was successively attacked by Gasdad within a few days. Germans defeated.
Large swathes of the western frontier fell, and the Sixth Army had to retreat to the Kameya Valley.
At the beginning, only the more desolate parts of the border fell, but after the valley, the prosperous Kamea Plain was also an important population settlement and food production area of Aaron Landis.
Large and small cities are scattered all over the Kamiya Plain, with a total population of nearly one million, and the hoarded food and grass resources are even more numerous. If it was occupied by the Gastadians, the consequences would be unimaginable.
It was precisely because he knew the terrible consequences that Tanner, the commander of the Sixth Legion, recklessly launched the battle that was doomed to be tragic.
Even if the entire army is annihilated, the Gasdadians will never be allowed to cross the Kameya Valley!
With this determination to die with the Gasdadian vanguard, the entire army started the final battle with the Gasdadians with the heart of mortal death.
The last madness of the Aaron Landis did cause a lot of trouble for the Gasthards at first. 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 Gasdad Vanguard Army agreed with the tenacity of the Aaron Landis people, but he would not be merciful.
Seeing that the Sixth Legion was about to be destroyed by the hands of the Gasdadians, and even Tanner, the commander of the Sixth Legion, was surrounded by the enemy, and he was planning to rush into the enemy with his death intent—
Just when the army of Gastad was winning—
Suddenly, a long howl from the distant horizon ripped through the sky.
The king of Aaron Landis descended from the sky like a god.
The boundless black and red cavalry behind him was like a billowing red flame burning from the sky.
The hoofs shook the earth.
The early morning sun covered the rolling cavalry with a layer of golden sunlight, making them come as if stepping on the scorching sun.
For the past few days, the Gasdadians, who had been dismissive of the rumors of the so-called 'world-famous Aaron Landis cavalry', finally experienced the horror of Aaron Landis' elite cavalry.
They were proud of their strong physique, and under the uniform and coordinated operation of the Aaron Landis cavalry, there was no room for them to exert themselves.
Their hard and heavy armour, turned and slammed nimbly by the Aaron Landis cavalry, became a hindrance.
For a long time, when the Gastadian heavy armored warriors slammed forward, everything would be crushed by them, and no one was their enemy.
However, the Aaron Landis cavalry moved nimbly, dividing their formation little by little, and then divided them.
Even the group of Aaron Landis who were defeated by them not long ago, after seeing King Camos, they were like the blessings of the gods. The Aaron Landis soldiers, who were full of sadness and despair, actually It was a sudden burst of fighting power that the Gasthards could not imagine.
Their eyes that had been sunk into darkness seemed to be reborn, but at this moment, they were astonishingly bright, and they fought with the Gasdadians once again in high spirits.
Camos
son of the gods
our king
Wherever you go, you are where the gods are!
Facing the soldiers of Aaron Landis, who had become unstoppable due to the appearance of King Camos, one after another, the Gasdads fell like grass that had been mowed down in the valley of Camea. Next to the corpse of the Aaron Landis they killed 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 an army to pursue the victory.
The Gasthards left countless corpses along the way and fled back to the western frontier in embarrassment.
The Gasdadians, who had never experienced defeat since their expedition and were rampant on this continent, experienced defeat for the first time on the land of Aaron Landis.
Great victory on the western frontier.
It was even a day earlier than the Great Night Victory in the North.
Soon, the news of the three-way victory spread throughout Aaron Landis, causing the nation of Aaron Landis to celebrate.
The dark clouds that had weighed on everyone's heads a while ago vanished in an instant, and the bright sunlight once again illuminated the earth.
The royal city was also full of jubilation, because not long after the news of the three-way victory came, another good news came.
The crown prince, who has been seriously injured for a long time, has recovered and his condition has gradually improved.
The awakened crown prince even went to the court in a soft sedan chair and showed himself to the powerful officials.
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 were relieved and very happy for the recovery of the crown prince, but some people were in a gloomy mood.
They began to move around again, wanting to attack the crown prince again when the good news was repeated and everyone relaxed their vigilance.
This time, however, they were caught before they even touched the crown prince's room.
The royal knights who rarely showed up were also dispatched this time. Together with the Shamash battle priests of Ximuer, 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. aside.
Several high-ranking nobles from aristocratic families were approached by the Royal Knights. On the charge of endangering the royal family, they were unceremoniously brought to the secret room of the Royal Knights' temple to invite them to drink a few cups of black tea.
Afterwards, in the name of recuperating, the Prince Garlan, who showed his face, returned to the palace again, living in a secluded place and easily seeing no one.
…
Of course, that's just the surface.
In fact, it was Garland, who participated in a war on the eastern border, and rushed back to the royal city. After showing his face, he left a double in the palace to pretend to be him, and sneaked out after changing his face and dyeing his hair black.
But this time, in order not to attract attention, he left the great lion of Nega, who was yelling at him with dissatisfaction on his 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 city, after assisting the Fourth Army on the eastern border to repel the Ith army, Kaihos directly led the cavalry of the Third Army. Head to the Western Frontier to meet King Camos.
Garland, who sneaked out of the palace again, caught up with the army of Kaihos, disguised as a confidant of Kaihos again, and went west together.
A few days later, Kaihos smoothly merged with the army of King Camos.
Because the sixth legion was crippled and the strength was less than 10,000, King Camos ordered to temporarily reorganize the sixth legion into the third legion. The latter is in charge of the infantry.
…
In the Kamiya Valley, a huge camp was spread out, and the camps were all over the valley, and the mountains were all over the place.
Among them, the largest black and red camp was surrounded and protected by heavy armies, standing in the deepest part of the camp.
It was the tent of King Camos.
The lion flag with gold patterns on a red background fluttered high above the camp, rustling with the whistling wind.
A team of sturdy elite guards stood guard outside the tent, with solemn expressions and sharp eyes, making it difficult for anyone to approach this place.
At this moment, in this camp, only King Camos and the two cavalry commanders of his personal guard are staying here.
There are not many things placed in the tent, which are mainly concise and practical, and there are almost no decorations. Although King Camos would enjoy it unceremoniously when he stayed in the palace, once he went out to battle, he abandoned all luxuries.
In this tent, apart from the necessities of life such as beds and cabinets, there is only a huge square table in the center.
A large map of sheepskin was spread out on the table, and many places were already marked on it.
King Camos and the two cavalry commanders stood beside the map. While talking to his subordinates, he turned his eyes to the gate of the tent from time to time, as if he was waiting for something.
Not long after, the thick cloth at the gate of the tent was lifted and someone walked in.
The sun shone in and fell on the knight in the scorching sun, as well as the young general who bowed his head and followed behind Kaijos. The hood of the cloak blocked most of the young general's face, making it difficult to see.
After entering the tent, Kaihos, who was walking in front, immediately turned sideways, stepped aside, let the person behind him walk in front of him, and raised his hand to help the man undo the cloak on his body.
The young general who took off his cape raised his head, and a handsome young man with bright eyes and white teeth appeared in front of everyone.
Dyed black hair fell from the boy's cheeks, making his complexion like snow more and more.
The golden eyes, like the clearest amber gemstones, were slightly curved, and they smiled at everyone.
… The two horsemen standing beside King Camos somehow felt as if they had seen the scene of the flowers blooming in the early spring...
…
… an illusion.
is an illusion.
It's all an illusion to see the background behind the crown prince!
The cavalry commanders who coughed a few times to cover up what they were thinking, King Camos didn't know, and his attention was all on Garlan.
After half a month, seeing his brother again, King Camos felt a little emotional for a while.
At the beginning, he planned to lead an army to fight Yisi, but it was Garland who raised an objection and made him stay in the royal city for a few more days on the grounds of pretending to be sick.
Otherwise, he will definitely be a step late, which will lead to the annihilation of the Sixth Legion and the fall of the important Kamea Plain.
Although he believed that he would be able to drive the Gasdads out in the end, the losses were definitely much greater than they were now.
Camos walked to Gallan, raised his hand and stroked Gallan's hair and side cheeks.
The Lion King, who broke the hearts of his enemies on the battlefield, always looked softer than anything else in front of his younger brother.
His eyes swept over Garlan 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 ever.
Just like the rising sun in the morning, it can dispel all darkness.
Even in the battlefield, the young man's smile can bring the warmth of the sun.
"You've grown up, Garland."
Camos said, a smile on his angular lips.
That little kid had 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 possesses a kind of power invisible to ordinary people, a power that people are willing to trust and follow from the bottom of their hearts.
Yes, his king brother has grown up.
The thing that Camos had been hesitating for 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 has no right to make decisions on behalf of Gallan in the name of so-called protection of Gallan.
"You go back first."
King Camos said, "Stay outside."
The two cavalry commanders and Kaihos who stood on the side obeyed, bowed and stepped back, guarding outside the gate of the camp.
In the tent, only Garlan and Camos were left.
King Camos pondered for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Gallan.
"Gallan."
He asked, "You know how I suddenly sent Heimos to the North?"
"Um."
Although I don't know why Brother Wang suddenly mentioned this, Garlan nodded.
"... Well, we all know that I asked him to go to the North, but there is one thing I haven't announced."
King Camos paused and said,
"I gave an order that Heimos should not step into the royal city for ten years."
"what?"
Garlan froze for a moment, then reacted suddenly.
He remembered the strange behavior of Heimos, who had suddenly burst into his room that night, and the act of holding him tightly, as if trying to suppress something strange.
You must not step into the royal city for ten years.
I see.
No wonder Heimos looked like that at the time.
"Why do you want to give such an order? Brother, are you worried that he will be hostile to me for the throne? Heimos will not make such a..."
"Do not."
King Camos' low voice interrupted Garlan's words.
"Not because of that, I know, I know he won't hurt you."
"That… "
"Garlan, answer me honestly."
King Camos stared at Gallan with his brown eyes, and his eyes flashed.
He stared at Garlan's eyes without blinking.
"Do you know... that Heimos has special feelings for you."
"!"
Garland's chest tightened suddenly.
He looked at King Camos with wide eyes and opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Why does Brother Wang know about this
His heart was beating fast, and in the silent tent at the moment, he could almost hear his own heartbeat.
Is it because he knew about this that the king exiled Heimos to the Northland for ten years
The boy bit his lower lip, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
But King Camos, who had been keeping an eye on Garlan's every move, had already gotten the answer from Garlan's expression.
His face became complicated, he hesitated to speak, and finally he could only sigh deeply.
"Looks like you know..."
"Brother Wang, I..."
"Garlan, I was very angry when I first learned about this. In order to cut off his mind, I ordered Heimos to be exiled to the north for ten years." King Camos said, "I thought at that time, ten years later. You are married and have children, and Heimos must have broken that mind too."
"I think I made this decision without telling you to protect you."
He looked at Garland gently.
"But I understand now, you have grown up, and I should not make decisions on your behalf on your behalf."
"So, Garland, tell me, what are your thoughts?"
…
Garland is now panicked, very panicked.
He knew about Heimos going to the north, but he thought he was sent to the north in a normal way, just like before.
He never thought that the truth was because the brother knew about Heimos's feelings for him, so driving Heimos out of the royal city was equivalent to exile, forcing Heimos to go to the north.
Although they all go to the North, the former and the latter are simply worlds apart!
Thinking of the unwillingness and hidden anger in Heimos's voice when he said goodbye to him, the teenager felt panicked.
What kind of person Heimos was, he could not have been more clear.
Now that Heimos was oppressed by King Camos with his royal power and forcibly rushed to the North, Garlan could guess what Heimos would do next without even thinking about it.
That guy with a gloomy and paranoid personality who believes in the strong will definitely be angry with the king, and he will not be willing to submit to others, and then the idea of confronting the king will arise.
He went to the Northland, and he would definitely do things in the Northland.
And in the north, there are two heroic soldiers stationed in the two legions.
Garlan felt that it would not take ten years, about two or three years, for Heimos to control the army in his own hands.
Gallan dared to swear that with that guy's disposition, the purpose of controlling the northern army was to fight against his brother-
In this way, isn't it equivalent to Aaron Landis fighting infighting
… no no no, no, absolutely not.
In the past few lives, he and Heimos fought infightingly, which consumed a lot of national strength.
And if this life turns into a fight between the prince and Heimos... The consequences are absolutely unimaginable!
Just imagining that scene made Garlan feel like he was about to break out in a cold sweat.
no.
He had to find a way to get Heimos back as quickly as possible, that kind of time bomb... No, a dangerous person like a nuclear bomb must be watched under his own eyes, so as to be safe.
"Brother Wang, I do know about this, and I also rejected him."
Thinking of this, Garlan opened his mouth and tried to intercede for Heimos.
"After I refused, he didn't do anything to me, so you don't need to exile him for so long... I think it's just that you like a person, it's uncontrollable, he didn't do anything, this is how you treat him It's so unfair."
King Camos looked at him.
"Garlan, I know you have a good heart. You grew up with him and you always have feelings, but you don't understand how scary a man is."
Garland: "..."
Brother Wang, why am I a man too
"Maybe he can still control himself now, but with his paranoid personality... If he saw you marrying with his own eyes, I don't know what he would do."
Camos shook his head.
"Once something happens, it's too late."
He pondered for a while and said, "However, I said just now that this matter is up to you to decide. Since you said so, I will withdraw the order that you cannot return to the royal city for ten years."
Just as Garlan breathed a sigh of relief, King Camos continued.
"But you can't let him come back in the past two years, at least, after you get married."
Otherwise, with the character of Heimos, I am afraid that he can really do something that destroys the wedding of Gallan.
Camos thought so.
Garland: "..."
I'm afraid it will be too late in two years.
Moreover, he has no plans to get married in a short time.
He couldn't just find someone to marry in order to let Heimos return to the royal city, right
And he was sure that if he dared to get married, the guy from Heimos would dare to bring someone to call—
Garlan, who was suffering from a headache, wanted to hug his head.
But he couldn't directly say his judgment on Heimos.
Could it be that he directly said something like 'If you don't bring Heimos back, he will control the Northland Legion, fight against you, and become a threat to you'
Even if you say...
Will Lao Tzu be afraid of the threat of that stinky boy
Garland could guarantee that his brother would scoff at his 'Heimos threat theory' with such an attitude.
…Ah, so what should I do
What should I do to get the king to call Heimos back to the king's city
What to do? What to do? What to do…
Probably letting go of such a concern, King Camos also showed a relaxed look.
He sat down on the wooden chair by the table, picked up the cold tea, and took a sip.
… there is only one way…
Garlan stood there, the expression on his face changed several times.
Finally, he gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind.
"Brother Wang."
"Um?"
"I... uh, I..."
King Camos looked at his brother, waited patiently, and took another sip of water.
"actually, I… "
With a sigh of relief, Garlan clenched his hand hard, blushing, and looked at death as if at home.
"...I like Huymos too!"
puff!
The Lion King spat out heavily.
