Hearing this, Gawain, the nobles and the soldiers all came to the parapet and looked down.
Mozo, riding on a wolf's back, had already passed his own army and arrived at Storm's End alone.
The only person accompanying him at this moment, apart from the seated Red Wolf, was Verdani holding the wolf flag behind him.
With such a lineup facing the entire defenders of Wind's End, it can be said that any officer or even soldier on the city wall at this moment could completely kill Mozo on the spot.
There was no doubt that Mozo believed in them so deeply that he put his life in their hands without hesitation.
In response to Mozo's trust, the defenders of Wind's End Castle also made an equal response.
With the first sound coming from nowhere, the city gate opened.
There is a second tone, and then a third tone, which is then passed down in a loud voice.
Finally, in front of Mozo, he could hear the voice coming from behind the door:
"Open the city gate for Young Wolf Lord!"
The sound was heard, and the heavy and blessed gate of Storm's End was pushed open by countless soldiers.
When the gate was completely opened, an excited soldier took off his hat and stepped forward to look at Mozo who was riding a red wolf and walking slowly towards the gate. Then he cheered even more excitedly towards the city gate:
"The real Young Wolf Master is back!"
At this point, the atmosphere of the entire Storm's End Castle was completely ignited, and countless soldiers began to pour down from the top of the city walls, just to be able to see the real Young Wolf Lord in person at the foot of the city.
The nobles on the city wall also collapsed to the ground after seeing this scene.
There is nothing that can be done.
Gawain sighed, walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, then left and walked towards the city.
In the main city of Fengxi Fort, Gebu, who was hiding on the high wall, naturally witnessed the whole scene.
When he saw the city gate being pushed open by countless excited soldiers, he collapsed to the ground like that noble.
"Why? Why on earth is this happening?!"
Clearly, just yesterday, he was still the high and mighty Young Wolf Lord, the true master of the North, but why was everything taken away so easily by this Mozo who appeared out of nowhere in the blink of an eye
Heather Fox silently appeared behind him and gave him a look of pity and anger.
Why? Isn't it clear that everything you have is obtained through your bloodline. Apart from that, you have nothing. In this case, what can you use to compare with the pure-blooded descendants
If possible, the old fox really wanted to just walk away. But no, although this chess piece was almost useless in this game, it might play an unexpected role in the next game.
So he suppressed the helplessness and contempt in his heart, and said respectfully and regretfully:
"Respected Young Wolf Lord, we should leave. It is too dangerous for you to stay here. Please believe me, believe Heather. Our great Emperor will definitely let you return to the throne you deserve!"
Hearing this, Gebu was also awakened immediately and grabbed the old fox and said anxiously:
"Oh, yes, I must escape quickly, you must save me, you must save me!"
The old fox smiled and nodded, then left Wind's End Castle with Geb.
After quickly escaping from Storm's End with Geb, the old fox stood on the hillside outside the city and couldn't help but look back at Storm's End which was celebrating wildly.
Everything that happened today was too outrageous, even for him, who was used to big scenes.
He really couldn't understand why the young man named Mozo could so easily incorporate the entire northern army.
Moreover, when the two armies were facing each other, he walked to the enemy camp alone, ignoring countless dangers, and just by saying a few words, all the opponents turned against him!
How many troops are sent, how many troops are recruited by the other side... .
The old fox could never have imagined such a thing.
But since the other party has done it, the old fox can only accept it even if he doesn't believe it.
As the old fox was looking at Storm's End, he noticed the sound of footsteps coming from the dense forest behind him.
When the old fox turned around, an old man with silver hair walked up to him.
Seeing the other party coming, the old fox couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"My prince, I wish you could arrive earlier."
The angel of the Heather Empire—Prince Douglas. This was the plan the old man had thought of before.
If it is unlikely that the Northerners can deal with Mozo on their own, then we can only hope that they can delay the time as much as possible until Prince Douglas arrives.
As long as Prince Douglas could kill him before Mozo completely took over Storm's End, the situation would be resolved instantly.
Unfortunately, the prince was a step too slow. Not only had the other party taken over Storm's End, but he also took the chess piece with him and escaped from Storm's End.
If we go back and take action now, no matter whether we succeed or not, it will only make the North lean more towards Roland.
Prince Douglas couldn't help but shake his head at the old fox's complaint:
"I roughly know what you are thinking, but it's useless. Even if I had come earlier, your plan would not have succeeded. Isabel is nearby."
The old fox was startled:
"Eternal night or dawn?"
"Eternal Night. Although neither of us has found each other, we can both feel that the other is nearby."
After saying that, Prince Douglas took a few steps forward, holding a blue box tied with ribbons and decorated with clown patterns, and looked towards Fengxibao.
"All our efforts over the years have been wasted just like that. It's ridiculous."
The old fox nodded helplessly:
"Yeah, I thought the Wolf family's bloodline had died out, but it turns out that Isabelle still has such a good card up her sleeve."
Heather and most other forces basically believe that the appearance of Mozo should be a card that Queen Isabelle has been hiding, a trump card specifically used to prevent the North from getting out of control.
Otherwise, unless she did it deliberately, there is no reason why the pure blood of the Wolf family, which could not be found in the North for three hundred years, would appear instantly after the North got out of control and communicate with the Queen in this way.
But as he spoke, the old fox shook his head and laughed:
"But our efforts are not completely ineffective."
Prince Douglas was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said:
"Are you saying that it is difficult for the old ministers of the North to accept that the North continues to submit to Isabel?"
The old fox walked up to the prince and said with a smile:
"This is just one of them. The old ministers in the North are basically Cromwell's diehards. They can't deny Mozo's pure-blood identity, but they can't accept continuing to serve the tyrant."
"At the same time, the new generation of nobles in the North are Gebu's old subjects. No matter what Mozo does next, there will basically be such a thorn in the hearts of both sides! At least that's how they see it."
As he spoke, the old fox first glanced at the distraught Gebu, then turned back to look at Fengxi Castle with a deep look in his eyes and said:
"This is what Cromwell taught me."
The main reason why the old fox could never make up for the Heather split three hundred years ago was because Cromwell told the problem to the divided nobles.
You who have already betrayed, do you really dare to believe the other party's promise? Can you really return to your original circle
Of course, there are many other factors at play. For example, the nobles were divided at the time and did not have enough people to convince them. They were a scattered group and therefore could not reach a consensus, apart from suspicion of each other. At the same time, Heather's predecessor had a bad reputation.
But the main reason is still the problem of "double-faced officials".
Now, the 'double-minister dilemma' is about to appear in the North.
This made the old fox very happy. And the opponent's problems at the moment were more than just these two points:
"In addition, the appearance of the purebloods of the Wolf family will inevitably cause the nobles of Loran to have many concerns. The nobles of the old seven nations will be afraid and hostile. The new nobles will wait and see whether they can invest in the North."
“Even if these problems don’t cause the North and Roland to fall into the quagmire together, they will still make them very uncomfortable.”
At this point, the old fox recalled the feeling when he fought with Mozo, and then he said solemnly:
"But these are just problems that are bound to happen. What I can really look forward to is a backlash!"
Prince Douglas became interested and said:
"You mean, the butcher's cub will bite back at his master?"
The old fox recalled Mozo's actions along the way and the speed at which the northern army turned against him, then he smiled triumphantly:
"I'm afraid he won't just bite back, but will bite off his neck directly!"
This time, Prince Douglas asked in surprise:
“Are you so sure? Not to mention that Isabel is a Sequence One, her base in Loran alone would not allow that Mozo to do this.”
The old fox shook his head and laughed:
"What if I say that Mozo can become the second Cromwell?"
Prince Douglas hesitated, staring at the confident old fox for a long time, and then he said carefully:
"If that's the case, then maybe we can look forward to it."
-
At the same time, in Wind's End Castle, Mozo had arrived at the main city of Wind's End surrounded by countless soldiers.
At the same time, the knights guarding here told Mozo with shame on their faces that Heather and Geb had already escaped.
Mozo was not surprised at this. Although Gebu was heard to be useless, his bloodline was still very useful, so the old fox would definitely take him away.
And given the old fox's ability, Mozo would have been surprised if he hadn't escaped.
And judging by the old fox's ability, he must be looking forward to biting back at the Queen in the future with great joy.
The other party might even be thinking that if possible, they would chop off Geb's head as a sign of sincerity in negotiating with him and investing heavily to encourage the North to continue to go to war with Loran.
Normally, his idea is indeed promising.
But unfortunately, the water was so deep that even Mozo felt terrified. If he wasn't careful, he might drown.
Fortunately, with the wisdom of the old fox, he will definitely react quickly and see the clues left by Mozo. After all, he was also "faking his death".
By then, the old fox will surely rush over to "rescue him to shore".
Thinking of this, Mozo just wanted to laugh. It was really great that the old fox faked his death!
"Young Master!"
A powerful and deep voice, yet filled with sadness and loneliness, sounded behind Mozo.
As soon as this voice sounded, the soldiers who were cheering just now stopped their actions and made way for the owner of the voice.
Mozo also turned his wolf head and looked in the direction of the sound.
Among the soldiers who were marching out in formation stood the old ministers of the North, led by Gawain.
Seeing that they were all present, Mozo sighed in his heart and said - they are here.
After jumping off the wolf, Mozo walked up to his old followers. Behind him was Verdani, who followed closely.
Seeing Mozo approaching, Gawain took a step forward with a complicated expression. But before he could get close, Verdani drew her sword and pressed it against his chest.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa Gawain, but please step back."
Verdani knew Gawain's obsession, so she didn't dare let Gawain get too close to the young master.
Gawain was not angry about this. Instead, he stepped back with a complex expression showing a hint of relief and said:
"No need to apologize, you did the right thing, my child."
115 A Shocking Kneel
After that, Gawain and many of the old ministers of the North all knelt on one knee in front of Mozo at the moment when Verdani sheathed her sword, and Gawain asked with great sorrow:
“Young Master, are you going to let go of the blood feud between the Wolf Family and the Tyrant?”
"Are you going to bow down to the tyrant who killed your old master?"
Before Gao Wen finished speaking, some of the old officials started crying quietly. Although Mozo hadn't answered yet, they had basically guessed the answer.
Mozo also considered his words carefully and said seriously:
"The North is Loran's North."
Hearing this, Gawain raised his head in great excitement and said in a painful voice:
"It used to be, but not after the tyrant killed the old master!"
But after saying this, Gao Wen felt that he shouldn't be so loud to the young master, so he immediately lowered his head.
