A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

The heavy snow is flying, and the north wind is freezing to the bone, but it cannot extinguish the fire burning in the body of the Gesu people at this moment.

The gates of the northern castle, which is said to never fall and has made countless Geshurs flee in defeat in the past, have been opened, right in front of them.

Just like a ferocious beast with its claws cut off and its fangs pulled out, the former king of beasts could only hopelessly wait for the fate of being torn apart.

It was like a beautiful woman putting down her sharp blade, unbuttoning her dress, revealing her alluring and graceful body.

At this moment, the Gesu people were so stimulated that their blood boiled, their faces were crazy, and they couldn't wait to follow their general into the city gate.

What follows is a feast of massacre.

The Aaronlanders will wail under the hooves of their horses and their swords.

They will dye this city red with the blood of Aaron Landis, which has devoured countless Geshur flesh and blood.

God of Geshu——

Please accept the blood food we offer you.

Gesu's general led his army and rushed into the castle gate with great energy. He held a long sword and was high-spirited. Only a few Aaron Landis rushed up and killed him with one sword, showing his bravery and majesty.

He galloped forward as hard as he could, fearing that if he was a step too late, someone else would take the credit away from him.

But as he rushed, he finally felt something was wrong.

Although it was a dark night with heavy wind and snow, making it difficult to see far away, was the passage through the city gate of this fortress so long?

He should have broken through the inner city wall and reached the city, right?

After all, they were in the open air, and the snow fell on him.

But why, after rushing for so long, was he still on a narrow road with two low walls on both sides, so that he could only move forward without seeing both sides?

The army could not disperse.

Just when he felt something was wrong, there was a sudden loud bang, like something heavy hitting the ground.

The ground seemed to shake.

The loud noise seemed to hit the bottom of his heart, making his chest shrink. A sudden bad premonition made him rein in the reins and look back.

The moment he turned back, his pupils shrank violently.

The inner city gate that had been raised high when he rushed in just now crashed to the ground with a roar, and several Gesu cavalry who could not escape were smashed into pulp.

Gesu's general was stunned for a moment.

Suddenly, the fire was bright, countless torches were lit, and countless Aaron Landis archers rushed up the low walls on both sides in the wind and snow.

In the bright firelight, sharp arrows rained down, causing the Gesu cavalry to flip over.

There are walls on both sides. In the firelight, although it can be seen that these are temporary and crude low walls, they are enough to trap the cavalry in this narrow road.

The retreat from the rear was cut off, and the only way out was from the front.

As a last resort, in order to survive, General Gesu could only continue to charge forward with his cavalry.

Damn Aaron Landis!

Those guys are as insidious and cunning as devils!

It was they who created this trap!

He galloped wildly, gritting his teeth with a ferocious look on his face and burning with anger in his chest.

Then, the general's eyes lit up.

With the help of the firelight, his sight penetrated the flying snowflakes, and he saw the ends of the two low walls ahead.

The terrain suddenly became empty.

He could even see the end of the low wall, where Aaron Landis's cavalry phalanx stood, as if waiting for them to rush out and fight with them.

You can rush out in no time!

He stared hard at the Aaron Landis cavalry in the distance.

As long as he rushes out, he will never let those bastard Aaron Landis go.

He suffered such a big loss, which made him lose face.

They did fall into the trap, but those Aaron Landis were so arrogant that they dared to let in so many Geshur cavalry.

Even if the city cannot be broken today, he will lead his army and die together with the Aaron Landis people!

Even if he dies, he will bite off a piece of Aaron Landis flesh and blood!

Hatred dyed his eyes red, Gesu's general thought ferociously in his heart.

Knowing that he had been caught in a trap, the Geshur roared and were determined to die.

The trapped beast still fights.

The hooves of the charging cavalry shook the ground.

Knowing that they were going to die, they became even more crazy. The Geshur cavalry rushed towards the Aaron Landis cavalry phalanx in front of them desperately.

That was their last ditch effort before death——

Suddenly, there was another bang.

Just when the Geshur cavalry was about to rush in front of the Aaron Landis, the ground suddenly collapsed in a large area.

The cavalry rushing in front were caught off guard, and they fell headlong into the cavalry with both men and horses.

The cavalryman who had just managed to rein in his horse was hit by his companion who rushed up from behind, and fell down with him.

Suddenly, wailing sounds were heard everywhere, and the bottom of a huge pit was filled with Gesu cavalry who had their limbs broken or were crushed to death by horses.

The Gesu cavalry behind them who were lucky enough to escape the big pit were blocked by the big pit. They were stuck in a low wall and endured the rain of arrows fired from both sides.

Their only way was to dismount and crawl through the big pit in front of them.

However, even if they successfully climbed over the pit, the horseless Geshur cavalry faced the countless Aaron Landis cavalry in front of them, like fish on a chopping board.

Aaron Landis' cavalry, who was waiting for work, easily killed these people off their horses.

General Geshur, who led the army to charge in, was lying at the bottom of the pit. When he fell, he was pinned down by his own horse, his ribs were broken, and he was seriously injured.

Even though his bodyguards quickly rescued him from under his horse, he was already pale and could not survive.

At this moment, looking at the tragic scene in front of him and listening to the wailing of his subordinates, General Geshu, who had dreamed of being promoted to a noble rank not long ago, vomited out a mouthful of blood in pain.

He opened his eyes and took his last breath reluctantly.

…

The Gesu army that rushed in was trapped to death, and the other Gesu army that was ambushing outside the city gate on the other side, waiting to meet its companions, did not fare much better.

As originally agreed upon with the traitors in the northern castle, the Geshur army rushed into the city and immediately captured the west gate. They joined forces with the Gesu troops waiting at the west gate and opened the west gate.

This Geshu army in the west gate heard the fighting sounds coming from the fortress and couldn't wait to attack the city gate.

Suddenly, the originally silent west city gate suddenly lit up with lights, and countless Aaron Landis archers stood on the city wall, shooting arrows at rapid speed.

The Geshu people were suddenly attacked, and they were caught off guard. Moreover, they had been frozen in the cold wind of the night for too long, and their bodies were stiff. They were unable to evade, and they were shot down in large pieces by the rain of arrows.

To make matters worse, the west city gate slowly rose, and the cavalry rushing out from it was not the companions the Geshurs had been waiting for, but the Aaron Landis cavalry wearing black and red leather armor.

They were fully armed, in the light of fire, and rushed towards the Geshur with murderous intent.

The Gesu army that attacked the northern castle but fell into a trap suffered heavy casualties. On the other side, the Gesu army's camp was also in chaos.

Fire shot into the sky, and red flames swept through the Geshur camp.

The fire was blazing, accompanied by panicked shouts from the Geshur.

He was supposed to be a hunter, but he ended up being prey in the eyes of others.

The commander-in-chief of Gesu dispatched a large number of troops to attack the city at night in an attempt to capture the Northland fortress in one fell swoop. He was contentedly waiting for the good news to arrive in the commander's camp, but what he did not expect was that Aaron Landis's cavalry suddenly arrived. News of a night raid on the camp.

Because most of the army was deployed, the camp was empty, so Aaron Landis's spies easily sneaked into the camp, poured oil on tents, supplies, food and other places, and set fire to them.

There was great chaos in the Geshu camp.

At this moment, an Aaron Landis cavalry rushed out of the night.

It opened its front in the shape of an arrow and rushed into the depths of Geshur's camp.

The formation of this cavalry army was like a sharp arrow, shooting forward quickly and penetrating the Gesu camp.

The tip of the arrow points directly to the heart of Geshu Camp——

At the front of the cavalry army, at the sharpest 'arrow tip', was a tall knight wearing silver-black armor.

Heimos leaned forward slightly, grasping the reins with one hand and the silver gun in his hand with the other.

The horse beneath him was galloping, and its reddish-brown mane was extremely conspicuous in the dark night.

The wind whistled in his ears, and the dark hair was blowing in front of his eyes.

He rode forward and led the elite cavalry under his command to tear through the obstacles. In the flames, when the Gesu people were caught off guard, they pierced the heart of the Gesu camp.

He galloped forward, spilling blood everywhere he passed.

Any Geshur who dared to stand in front of him was shot dead by him.

No one is his enemy.

The golden-red eyes looked like the red pupils of a black wolf with fierce eyes in the dark night.

The sinister atmosphere makes people shudder.

Heymos' pupils were firmly reflecting the figure of the Gesu commander in the distance who was heavily guarded by Gesu soldiers.

Nothing else.

——The black knight of hell, walking through the night, calling for wind and frost, and coming with the flames of hell——

The Gesu soldiers who survived the battle all described that night in this way.

There was deep fear and hidden reverence in their voices.

Even if they are enemies, it is the instinct of all Gesu people to admire the strong.

…………

In the unbelievable eyes of countless Gesu soldiers, the devil-like black knight forcibly broke through the obstacles of countless Gesu soldiers.

He rushed towards the heavily protected Commander Gesu with an unstoppable momentum.

Staring at those ferocious golden-red pupils, the back of his neck felt cold. Commander Gesu turned his horse's head in panic and tried to escape.

The silver spear in Heymos' hand suddenly thrust out.

White light flashed across the dark night like a bolt of thunder.

A shot penetrated the back of Commander Gesu's heart.

Commander Gesu fell down from his horse.

And Heimos hit the target with one strike, and the next moment he was far away.

He led the elite cavalry under his command and once again tore apart the Geshur camp, threw off the pursuers, and disappeared into the night.

Leaving the Geshur camp in chaos in the flames, Aaron Landis's cavalry left calmly.

A glimmer of light ignited in the sky, the sun slowly rose from the horizon, and the early morning sunlight illuminated the earth.

The Geshu army attacked the northern fortress at night, fell into a trap, and returned with a disastrous defeat.

At the same time, Aaron Landis's cavalry attacked Geshur's camp at night.

The Gesu commander was killed by the Black Knight's gun, and the Gesu army was in chaos. Later, they were pursued by Aaron Landis' army and were defeated again, with heavy casualties.

Great victory in the North.

……………………

On the eastern border of Aaron Landis, on the battlefield where the Aaron Landis and the Yithians fought, the camps of the two armies faced each other.

The two armies have been facing off for more than a week.

Although Yis used twice as many troops as usual, more than 40,000 troops to attack Aaron Landis this time, Aaron Landis's Fourth Army Corps, which had been guarding the eastern border all year round, was not a vegetarian.

With its entire 30,000 troops, it resisted the invasion of the Islamic State and refused to let this group of nomads enter Aaron Landis.

Yes, nomad.

This is the name given to the people of Yith by the people of Aaronlandis.

The Yi people are a country that lives by hunting and herding. They have no fixed residence and have always moved with the seasons according to the water and grass.

Their level of civilization is much lower than that of Aaron Landis. Daily necessities such as iron, tobacco, salt, and herbs can only be obtained through livestock trading or robbing neighboring countries.

Aaron Landis was the richest kingdom around them, so it became the place most frequently attacked by Yis.

This time, the Yi people did not originally plan to attack Aaron Landis in the winter, but someone came to persuade the King of Yi Yi, saying that Aaron Landis would soon be in trouble, and let him attack Aaron Landis.

At first, King Yis was a little hesitant. After all, Yis and Aaron Landis had been fighting back and forth for so many years, and he knew that this enemy country was not easy to mess with.

Moreover, fighting in winter is very disadvantageous for the Yi people who lack food and herbs.

King Yishen secretly sent the army to the border, but did not move, intending to wait and see for a while.

Not long after, when he heard that Aaron Landis was in trouble from being attacked from both sides, he immediately ordered the army squatting on the border to attack Aaron Landis.

The Yisi people wanted to take advantage of the situation, but they had to ask the Aaron Landis people first if they would agree.

Although they caught the Aaron Landis by surprise at first, they plundered many border towns and gained a lot. However, the Fourth Army Corps guarding the eastern border quickly reacted and rushed forward, forming a tug-of-war with the IS army.

At this moment, on the plains, the two armies faced each other.

Since Yis's army is composed of all cavalry, it is more flexible and aggressive than the Aaron Landis army, which is half infantry. Therefore, on the battlefield now, the Aaron Landis are obviously at a disadvantage.

However, the face of Commander Yisi, who was standing on horseback in the rear army, did not show a happy look, but instead showed a look of displeasure.

Because the food and grass that was supposed to arrive yesterday are still missing, and the IS army currently has very little food in stock.

Those lazy serfs!

They must be lazy and wasted time.

The Yisi commander with tattoos on his cheeks and bear fangs on his neck cursed in his heart.

He looked at the battlefield ahead absentmindedly. Anyway, the advantage of the Yisi cavalry was obvious, and it would be a matter of time before they defeated Aaron Landis's army.

He was thinking about sending a group of his trusted cavalry to rush the grain transport team.

He turned around and was about to give instructions to his confidants when the guards around him suddenly shouted in panic.

Commander Yis turned around and was suddenly stunned.

I saw a wisp of green smoke rising from the camp not far away, and the firelight flickering, which was where the few remaining grains and grass were.

how come?

He clearly left a lot of troops to guard the food and grass, so how could he be attacked by someone?

And he saw with his own eyes that all the cavalry in Aaron Landis's army were fighting on the battlefield, and there was no spare cavalry team to sneak attack on his food and grass——

Just when he was still in shock, he saw that the cavalry unit he had left to protect the food and fodder actually fled towards the direction of the army.

Behind the fleeing Yisi cavalry, among the billowing sand and dust kicked up by the horses' hooves, black and red cavalry came like a torrent.

The lion flag with red background and gold pattern fluttered in the wind high in the sky, stinging the eyes of the Yisi people.

The eyes of the Aaron Landis soldiers who were originally at a disadvantage were all bright, and their morale instantly rose.

The Aaron Landis cavalry who came from nowhere chased the defeated Yisi cavalry and rushed into Yisi's rear army in one breath. The Yisi army, which was attacked from two sides, instantly became chaotic.

The knight who led the charge into Yis's army was as brave as a tiger among sheep.

With a wave of the silver spear in his hand, he threw away the blood all over the sky, killing the Yisi cavalry with fear.

The blood-stained blond hair sparkled in the sun, extremely gorgeous.

"Knight of the Burning Sun!"

The sharp-eyed Yisi cavalry recognized it and shouted.

"It's Aaron Landis, the strongest knight!"

"Knight of the Sun——"

Opposite to the panicked voices of the Yisi people, there were the cheers of the Aaron Landis people.

"It's the Lord Knight of the Burning Sun!"

"It's Lord Keyhos——"

At this moment when people from the two countries were shouting with different emotions one after another, a long roar shook the mountains and forests, and seemed to suppress the fighting sounds on the entire battlefield.

A male lion emerged from the crowd, running on the battlefield, its dark brown mane flying in the wind.

Its lion's roar actually made the horses under the Yisi cavalry nearby tremble in fright. Their legs weakened and the rider was thrown off.

Many horses were so frightened by the lion's roar that they lost control and ran around like crazy. The riders could not control themselves.

The huge male lion pounced forward and bit off half of the head of the Yisi cavalryman who fell to the ground in one bite.

Turning his head, he caught up with a fleeing Yisi man, threw him to the ground with one jump, and bit out his throat amidst his howling as a ghost.

The bloody sight of the Yisi people who died in the lion's mouth scared the nearby Yisi people and fled in all directions.

After the lion killed several Yi people nearby, it looked at the others who had fled away, and seemed to be too lazy to chase them.

It turned around and ran back.

He ran up to a young general who was wearing armor covering half of his face and wearing an ordinary general's leather armor, and he whined at him as if asking for credit.

The golden eyes hidden under the helmet looked at Nerga, who was asking for credit. Garlan raised the corner of his mouth, leaned down from the horse, and touched the big lion's head.

The big lion was then satisfied and lay beside him without moving.

A pair of majestic eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly, as if guarding Garlan.

…

On the eastern border, a cavalry army of Aaron Landis secretly came around the battlefield from behind and took away the food and grass that the Yisi people were transporting to the front line.

Subsequently, this cavalry unit, led by the knights of the burning sun, raided the fighting Yisi army from the rear.

Attacked from two sides, the Yisi army was defeated and suffered many casualties.

Later, due to lack of food and grass, they had no choice but to retreat from the eastern territory of Aaron Landis.

Great victory in the east.
