A great battle was in full swing, only to be interrupted by the sudden appearance of a man who had been 'dead' for months.
The Geshus retreated hastily, and Aaron Landis inexplicably won this battle.
In the afternoon, in the Northland fortress, Garlan was greeted by the cavalry commander Hea who rushed over to the political office.
As soon as Heya reported the situation of the Northern War to Gallan, the door was pushed open, and the one-eyed blond knight walked in quickly.
The armor of Kaihos, who had just left the battlefield, was still stained with blood, and he was surrounded by a bloody aura.
As soon as he entered the door, he leaned over and knelt down to Garlan.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I put you in danger because I don't know anyone."
His hands on the ground clenched into fists.
His head was lowered deeply, and his voice was full of annoyance and remorse.
"It was all my fault."
Although the matter of Mitayas has not been fully disclosed, as his superior, Kaijos has already known about it.
Because he was worried about the safety of Garland, he specially sent the strongest generals under his command to protect Garland in his place. Unexpectedly, this became King Garland's biggest crisis.
He never imagined that the loyal knight commander who had followed him for many years would do such a treacherous thing.
Had it not been for Heimos just in time...
Every time Kejos thought of this, he felt terrified and remorseful.
"You did make a mistake that you don't know, and you have a certain responsibility."
Garland said,
"But it's not your fault that you should be ashamed."
"The one who should really be ashamed and responsible for this is not here."
The young king leaned over and held out his hand to his knight.
"So, look up, Cayhorth, you should know that I can't blame you for something like this."
Kaihos raised his head, and his eyes met those bright golden eyes.
At this moment, the depression that had been stuck in his heart suddenly dissipated.
During this time, he had been restless.
As long as he thinks about the prince, he feels distressed and uncomfortable. In addition, he is worried because he can't follow Garlan's side, and his mood becomes very bad.
Later, he learned that Mitayas almost killed Gallan, and his extreme anxiety triggered his violent emotions.
Even if they were constantly fighting on the battlefield, the violent emotions could not be suppressed.
Until this moment, when he held his prince's hand, whether it was full of anxiety or the violent emotions that filled his whole body, it was calmed down by the clear eyes that Gallan looked at him.
Kaihos breathed out a small breath, and his mind became clear again.
Holding Garlan's outstretched hand, he stood up.
Green pupils stared at his prince, and the smile that had not been shown for a long time returned to the handsome face of the knight that had been gloomy for a long time.
As the sun reappears, the clouds dissipate at once.
He clenched Garlan's hand, looked at the boy intently, and said softly, "I'm worried about you, prince."
"I know."
Garlan raised his head and smiled slightly.
The familiar smile on the boy's face calmed the knight's mood even more.
"Sorry, Cayhorth, I've worried you and others for a while."
Garland smiled and said,
"However, as I said at the beginning, you also have a part of the responsibility. Therefore, your military exploits in the north this time are all cancelled."
Garlan turned his head and said to Heya, who was standing beside him, "Remember, when you count your military exploits after the war, cross out all the parts that belonged to Kaihos."
Heya was stunned for a moment, hesitating to speak, he seemed to want to intercede for Kaihos, but his eyes fell on Kaihos's face, looking at Kaihos' indifferent look, he shook his head. He shook his head and stopped talking.
Kaihos, who had lost all his great military exploits, didn't care about it. He looked at his prince softly, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something.
Suddenly, footsteps came from the side.
A tall figure came out of the side room and walked towards this side quickly.
"Long time no see, Kaihos."
Whether it was intentional or unintentional, Heimos said.
No, it must be intentional.
As Heimos spoke, he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the hand that Kejos was holding Garlan.
Others couldn't see it, but Kaihos could feel it, a heavy force grabbed his hand and separated him and the prince.
Cayhoes glanced at Heimos.
Heimos's eyes narrowed slightly.
The two knights looked at each other.
There seems to be an invisible airflow colliding in the room, and there is a faint trend of surging under the continuous confrontation between the two.
Garlan didn't see it well, so he hurried to stop it.
"I know you're excited to meet again after a long absence."
He stood in the middle, raised his hand, and pressed the arms of the two of them one by one.
"but-"
He said in a coaxing tone,
"It's time for dinner now, no matter what, let's eat first, okay?"
Under Garland's push, the two knights stared at each other unwillingly, but they were still pushed out the door obediently by Garland with one hand.
With a snap, the room closed.
There was one person left in the room.
Hija: "..."
The commander of the Northern Legion, who was left in the room, looked puzzled.
As the only honest person in the room who didn't know the situation, and didn't know anything about the undercurrents between the two knights, he was forgotten by Garlan and the others.
…
Although in this battle, due to the sudden appearance of Heimos, the Geshus who suspected that Aaron Landis had set up a conspiracy trap temporarily retreated, but the Geshus could not really withdraw from the border like this.
After checking and finding that there were no traps, the Gash army naturally made a comeback.
However, they were at a disadvantage in the previous war, and now, the army of Aaron Landis has once again increased its strength and a powerful general.
It is also important to note that the presence of Heimos on the battlefield greatly reduced the morale of the Geshu soldiers.
In this way, in the next few battles, the Geshu army will eventually be defeated.
After losing battles one after another, Geshuren saw that there was no way to take advantage of it, and his own armament materials could not last any longer, so he had no choice but to retreat.
Great victory in the north again.
In this battle, the Geshu people not only failed to plunder enough food and supplies, but also suffered a serious injury.
King Geshu, who advocated launching this war to divert the contradiction of insufficient domestic resources, was more dissatisfied with him by his nobles because of the failure of the war.
With the domestic turmoil in Gaishu, it is estimated that he will not be able to invade the south again for a long time.
When the Geshu retreated, a grand celebration was held in the northern fortress.
It was already dark, but the entire Northland fortress was brightly lit, and every household was lit up.
Especially in the huge square in the middle of the fortress, countless bonfires were burning in it, and the square was illuminated like daytime.
Meat was roasted over the campfire, and grease fell on the burning wood with a sizzling sound.
A strong aroma of meat filled the entire square, and while everyone ate meat, they chatted and laughed wantonly, and the laughter resounded under the night sky.
Everyone sat on the ground like this, cross-legged and barbecued on the bonfire. When it's done, just tear it off and share it with the people around the bonfire.
When the interest came, someone directly opened their throats and howled with a wolf-like voice.
The people next to him shouted loudly, or someone simply ripped open their shirts and performed a vigorous dance with the singing of their comrades-in-arms.
It is called a banquet, but it does not have the delicate feeling of a noble banquet at all, only the roughness and boldness that belongs to the army.
But that's what makes it even more lively.
It's a dinner party to enjoy the victory, tonight is the time to revel.
Garland and his party were also among them, enjoying this kind of bonfire dinner with strong northern battlefield customs.
Heya was originally worried that King Garlan was not used to this kind of atmosphere, but he was relieved when he saw Garlan sitting on the seat, looking around with a smile and interest.
Kaijos and Heimos sat on the side seats, and in front of them were naturally roasted tender meat, fresh fruits and vegetables, and water and wine.
Women in the north are used to being bold and unrestrained. They grew up in cities where wars would break out at such moments, and their courage was no less than that of men.
They are used to being straightforward and straightforward, and their mobility far exceeds that of women in other regions.
These two knights were like heroes in the hearts of the northerners. Seeing the two sitting side by side at this moment, the eyes of several northern women lit up, and then they leaned over generously.
For them, being able to spend a night of dewy love with these two is something they can't ask for.
As romantic as Kaihos, it is natural for beautiful women to come.
After all, during this period of time, because he was in a bad mood, he had no extra thoughts at all. In addition, he had been fighting in Canal before, Kaihos had calculated it, and he had been vegetarian for almost half a year.
It was rare for him to untangle his heart, and it happened that there was such a chance to indulge tonight. Of course, he would not be polite.
Soon, Kaihos was surrounded by several beauties from the North, and they were definitely beauties at the level of beauty.
Others looked at it, and they all felt that the name of this knight of the scorching sun was truly worthy of the name.
These few managed to stay by Kaijos's side, and they were instantly satisfied.
But looking at Heimos, almost all the women came back in vain.
Basically, they were forced to retreat by the invisible repulsive aura emanating from Heimos before they approached.
As a result, the girls immediately understood that Lord Heimos had no such interest at all, so they simply gave up.
Although Kaihos was in the warm and fragrant nephrite, he glanced at Heimos from time to time.
Seeing that Heimos didn't let anyone approach him, even though he kept drinking water and wine, his eyes were only staring at Garland sitting on the seat, and his eyes showed a little satisfaction.
If that guy dares to let any woman get close... Humph!
Kaihos snorted coldly in his heart.
Not long after that, the open-air bonfire dinner was the busiest time. A guard hurried over and reported something to Garlan.
Then Garlan got up and left the seat, obviously something had left beforehand.
Although Kaihos has been making out with the beauties around him, he always pays attention to the situation on Garland's side. When he sees Garland leaving, he subconsciously needs to get up and follow him.
But he hadn't moved yet, and Heimos, who was next to him, had already stood up one step ahead of him and quickly chased after him.
Looking at the back of Heimos, Kaihos's eyes flashed, and he sat back again.
A woman beside him also noticed Heimos' departure and couldn't help asking curiously.
"Lord Kaihos, what type of women does Lord Heimos like? He has been in the Northland for so many years, and I have never seen a woman beside him."
She said with a smile, "You know him so well, why don't you tell me what Mr. Heimos likes? I can help him introduce..."
Halfway through speaking, a slender finger pressed against her lips.
The blond knight who put his arm around her and held her mouth with the other raised his mouth slightly, looking at her tenderly.
"no."
He said softly to the person in his arms,
"He can't, no one can hit him, you know?"
"why?"
Kaihos smiled.
"Because he already belongs to someone."
He said it like a joke, but also very serious.
"His words, even a strand of hair, belong to that person, do you understand?"
Of course, the beauties around him all showed blank expressions when the meaning of the knight was unclear.
…
…
After receiving the news from the messenger, Garlan left the open-air banquet and returned to his temporary residence.
When he came to the Northland, he sent a message to summon someone.
Now, the man he had summoned had finally arrived here before he left the Northland.
"Praise the great goddess Aphrodite, who guards her majesty, and makes you more beautiful than everything in the world, as always."
As soon as he entered the room, the familiar voice of the aria entered Garlan's ears.
A handsome young man with long black hair tied behind him stood in the room, dressed in a refreshing cyan suit.
He was carrying a cyan bow behind him, his face was full of smiles, and the peach blossom eyes that were slightly bent towards Garlan revealed a little romantic charm.
Shulos' eyes fell on Garlan's face, and after watching for a while, he showed a satisfied look.
With one hand on his chest, he looked at Garlan deeply, and continued to speak in a singing tone.
"Ah, Your Majesty, your beautiful face as magnificent as a thousand stars has washed my heart. I feel that my heart, which was deeply hurt just now, has been saved because of you..."
"speak English."
"Well, when I was passing by the square just now, I saw piles of men with naked upper bodies jumping around and wolves crying, but thinking they were singing, it made me think I was going blind and deaf."
The bard, who worships the goddess of love and beauty, feels that his heart has been devastated.
Fortunately, Gallan appeared in time, relying on his majesty's beauty to wash his eyes, he was finally relieved after being severely beaten.
Guessing Shu Luos's thoughts faintly, Gallan snorted, unshakable, he had become accustomed to it.
"By the way, Your Majesty, is there something wrong with you calling me here?"
"Well, I have an important task for you to do."
"Sure enough... Your Majesty, you are really good at calling people. Since I got on your pirate ship, I have hardly rested in the past few years."
Either run all over the country to check the road conditions, or sneak into Kanal to search for information, and continue to send to Tal the living conditions of the people in various places, monitor the nobles who have misbehaved, and so on.
A free-spirited bard who is accused of going round and round.
Raising his hand and rubbing the side of his neck, Shulos complained.
"Call me here. I thought there was something good waiting for me, such as rewarding me with a few beauties in the Northland. I heard that the beauties in the Northland are very bold and enthusiastic..."
Garland smiled slightly.
"It's useless to give you more beauties, you are still a virgin."
Shulos, the self-proclaimed suave bard: "..."
One hit kill.
The bard was speechless for a while.
Your Majesty, is it really okay for you to say such cruel words with such a beautiful face like this—
The bard, whose heart was bleeding from the poke, fought back in a fit of anger.
"Your Majesty, who is also a virgin, are you qualified to say such things to me!"
The sixth virgin Gallan: "..."
Just when the two hurt each other with extremely cruel language, with a creak, the door was suddenly pushed open.
The eyes of the two who were facing each other fell on Heimos who walked in.
Heimos raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them.
He suddenly said: "Eligible, because His Majesty will soon be gone."
Shulos: "???"
Garland: "??...!!!!"
