A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

193. Chapter 193

Gastard's vanguard army was defeated by King Camos, and then retreated to the border area to station. It seemed that he had no intention of retreating.

It didn't take long for their follow-up army to come to the border and join the vanguard army.

Originally, after the vanguard army was defeated by King Camos's army, Aaron Landis's troops had already overwhelmed the Gastards. However, with the arrival of the follow-up army, the Gastards once again outnumbered the Gastards in terms of strength. Past King Camos.

At the same time, the Aaron Landis also heard that the Garstard army had a new commander.

What makes King Camos a little regretful is that this new commander is not the Gastad prince who has risen to fame during this period, Tire.

The Prince of Tire single-handedly led the Garstard army to attack southeast, wiping out several countries in one go, including the great country of Karnar.

The Gastards have never suffered a defeat in this battle. On the one hand, this is because the Gastards are powerful in combat. On the other hand, the prince who makes all the Gastards obey orders is certainly capable. Not small either.

King Camos was still eager to have a fight with this newly rising powerful enemy and test his strength. However, Prince Tire did not come to the battlefield of Aaron Landis in person, which was really regrettable.

Aaron Landis's western border area is now in a situation where two armies are confronting each other.

The Gastadians were superior in strength and individual fighting ability.

The advantage of Aaron Landis is that he has more cavalry, is more flexible and tactical, and has a world-famous and powerful Lion King holding the battle.

At first glance, the two sides appear to be evenly matched.

No, due to the suppression of troops, Aaron Landis is even slightly inferior.

Although Aaron Landis's wars in the north and east have come to an end temporarily, they are only temporary. Both places have to guard the borders, and it is impossible to send troops to the west to support them.

At this moment, almost everyone's eyes on the mainland were focused on the Western Region.

Many people are waiting, and many countries are also waiting, wanting to see the outcome of the battle between the established continental power Aaron Landis and the emerging power Gastad.

It is the kingdom of lions that has ruled for a long time and drives out the provocateurs.

Or the white bear from the far north bit the lion and replaced it as the dominant force on the continent.

Garlan was also a little nervous at this time.

Although Brother Camos is indeed very powerful, his opponent is the Gastad people - the country that destroyed Aaron Landis.

Therefore, before this battle, King Camos, as the leader of the army, should eat and drink, looking calm and stress-free. On the contrary, Garlan was so nervous that he stayed up for several nights. I had a good sleep, the dark circles under my eyes came out.

When he was so nervous, he didn't dare to press Brother Camos about the matter about Heimos.

However, in the eyes of King Camos, Garlan's performance was that his brother was well-behaved and sensible, and did not want to disturb him with troubles, but he was secretly upset at night, causing dark circles under his eyes.

This discovery immediately made King Camos so angry that he ate an extra bowl of food at every meal.

He needs to recharge his batteries, accumulate more strength, and then vent all his anger on the Gastad people after the war begins——

He wants to fight ten of them!

After all, that brat Heymos was not in front of him, and his younger brother was reluctant to teach him a lesson, so those Gastard people who bumped into him at this time were unlucky.

Soon, a world-famous war broke out.

Bright sunlight illuminated the entire land.

When the loud horn sounded across the sky, countless warriors surged up like a torrent on the battlefield.

Looking at it from a distance, the human eye can only see a dark area.

Looking down from a high place, you can see the Gastad warriors in white armor and the Aaron Landis soldiers in black and red leather armor closely entangled.

The two armies of different colors collided heavily, like two ferocious beasts roaring and colliding head-on, showing their fangs and sharp teeth, and fighting fiercely together.

White flags and fiery red flags flew over their respective armies.

Garlan rode a horse and stood on the hill, overlooking the endless battlefield below.

Blood splattered and flesh flew everywhere.

There were stumps of limbs and broken arms everywhere, and the ground was littered with corpses.

The smell of blood rushed towards them, and on the battlefield, life was dying at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The young man tightened his grip on the reins.

He did not reveal his identity and was still following King Camos as an ordinary general.

Although he had experienced the naval battle in Tozes City and the recent war with the Yissi army, those were relatively ordinary wars, involving only tens of thousands of people.

What was unfolding before his eyes at this moment was a battlefield of hundreds of thousands of troops.

Not to mention that he could not clearly see the battle situation at this moment, he could not even see the edge of the battlefield.

At this moment, it seemed as if something heavy was pressing on his shoulders, making it difficult for Garlan to breathe.

That's not fear.

But... an indescribable... sense of awe and heaviness towards this huge battlefield and war.

The great pressure coming from the battlefield was almost suffocating, making his whole body tense up with tension.

And he's not the only one.

Garlan's eyes swept past him.

He clearly saw that the expressions of everyone around him had changed, and everyone's breathing had become heavier.

No one present could escape the invisible and shuddering sense of oppression on the battlefield.

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and the surrounding air seemed to turn into a swamp at this moment, making it difficult to move.

The surroundings were quiet, except for the long and short heavy breathing that could be heard one after another.

Just when Garlan was infected by this heavy atmosphere, his whole body tensed unconsciously.

Suddenly, King Camos, who was riding a horse in front, turned back and glanced at him.

"Don't think too much."

He said, raising his eyebrows and smiling at Garlan.

"Follow me."

After saying this, King Camos turned back.

The majestic king stood in front of everyone on horseback.

His pair of lion-like majestic eyes were astonishingly bright, and his brown hair reflecting the sun was scattered around his cheeks.

The fiery red cloak flew behind him in front of everyone's eyes.

The sun fell on that tall body, and everyone's eyes were focused on his back.

He raised his arms.

The lion flag with red background and gold pattern was rustling in the high air behind him by the strong wind.

Suddenly, that strong arm swung down heavily.

Aaron Landis' King's hand points forward.

The direction of the enemy——

"Aaron Landis!"

The swamp-like air that condensed around everyone was shattered by the Lion King's roar.

It was like that roar broke the shackles given to everyone by the battlefield.

“Aaron Landis—!!!”

Countless silver spear points pointed straight into the sky.

Countless horses raised their front hooves high and neighed loudly.

The roars of countless Aaron Landis people gathered together, seeming to shake the heaven and earth.

Horse hooves galloped, and everyone swooped down on their horses, following King Camos, who was leading the way.

The strong wind roared past, lifting King Camos' brown hair, revealing the bright red Shamash rune on his forehead, which was as bright as flames.

His brown hair was flying in the air like a lion's.

The suffocating atmosphere was broken.

The heavy feeling of oppression was gone.

The blood in the body is boiling, as if something is surging out from the deepest part of the body, making people burst out with unparalleled power——

Gallan and the others followed King Camos and rushed to the battlefield.

The burly figure in front is like a flag leading everything.

As long as he is around, the Aaronlanders have nothing to fear.

Gallan suddenly understood why King Camos was regarded as the faith of Aaron Landis.

This great king led the Aaron Landis people out of the darkness.

He brought not only victory but also courage.

He brought courage to his people.

He brought hope and indomitable will back to the world of Aaron Landis, who was once shrouded in despair.

Camos

Aaron Landis' hero.

The gods of his people.

…………

The war ended.

Aaron Landis had the final victory.

The army of Gastad was completely defeated, driven out of the western border by King Camos, and driven back to the border of Kanal.

The undefeated reputation of the Gastadians came to an end with Aaron Landis.

The reputation of The Lion King once again resounds throughout the continent.

After the war, auxiliary soldiers of Aaron Landis's army were clearing the battlefield and rescuing the wounded.

The generals were doing post-war statistics and finishing work, while the soldiers who had fought a great battle were all sitting on the ground exhausted, gobbling down the food they had been given.

The victory of driving the invaders out of the country made them smile, and they talked and laughed with their companions in a relaxed manner.

At this time, someone quickly walked into the largest tent deep in the camp.

"Uncle Yonas."

King Camos smiled, stretched out his hands to hug the person tightly, and patted the person's back affectionately.

He said, "You are here again."

He was an old man with slightly white temples, a tough face, deep eyes, a high nose, and sharp outlines, somewhat similar to Camos.

His body, which is almost as tall as Camos's, is upright. He walks with the strides of a dragon and a tiger, and he is full of energy. Although he is nearly fifty years old, he only has a few wrinkles on his forehead and looks like he is only in his forties.

Judging from his upright posture, he is obviously someone who is used to marching and fighting.

Yunus is the cousin of the late king. Although he has royal blood, he was also a general who fought on the battlefield under the late king.

Later he was given a big city and became its lord.

King Camos called him uncle.

The reason Kamos said 'here he is again' just now is because more than ten years ago, despite everyone's dissuasion, when he led an army to the border to resist the multinational coalition forces, everyone was not optimistic about him, and many city lords with blood inheritance were on the side. They waited and watched, but Uncle Yunas was the first to lead his private army to the battlefield without saying a word, fighting side by side with him until all the invaders were driven out.

The two developed a deep bond and King Camos would call him his uncle no matter what the occasion.

Being hugged by King Camos, Yunus raised his thick eyebrows, raised his right hand and patted Camos's back hard.

"Of course I have to come."

he said, snorting heavily through his nose.

"Aaron Landis is not a place where outsiders can just come in."

Hearing what his uncle said, King Camos smiled.

He remembered that during the war more than ten years ago, he asked him why he came to the battlefield. The uncle was also like today, angrily said - How could Aaron Landis let outsiders run wild!

More than ten years later, this time, even though he was nearly fifty, his uncle still rushed to the battlefield without hesitation in order to drive away the invaders.

And it was precisely because there were 20,000 elite cavalry brought by Uncle Yunus in ambush. When the Gastad people resisted and the battlefield was in a stalemate, these ambush troops suddenly attacked from one side, which made Gastad People are defeated so quickly.

After so many years, Uncle Yunus is still the same.

King Camos wanted to have a detailed chat with his uncle whom he had not seen for a long time, so he asked the four cavalry commanders in the camp to leave first.

Several cavalry commanders bowed and retreated.

When other people passed by Yunus, he looked at them with a smile, but when Kayhos passed by him, he stopped smiling and frowned.

"Is this the guy who calls himself the Knight of the Sun?"

After the others left, Yunus frowned and said to King Camos.

"It's too arrogant."

King Camos laughed.

His uncle is really still the same as before, he likes people who are down-to-earth and hard-working, and he despises the young people who flaunt themselves like peacocks.

It was obvious that my uncle didn't like Kehos.

He didn't bother to argue. Uncle Yunas' likes and dislikes couldn't be changed over the years anyway.

Therefore, Camos just smiled, poured a cup of tea with his own hands and handed it to his uncle.

Because Yunus was leaning sideways, the teacup handed over by King Camos was closer to his left hand. Most people would catch it directly with their left hand, but Yunus turned halfway and took the teacup with his right hand.

Seeing this scene, the smile on King Camos's face faded, and his eyes fell on Yunus' left hand.

"Uncle Yunus, your left hand is still..."

On the battlefield more than ten years ago, during an extremely dangerous battle, King Camos was ambushed and almost died. It was Uncle Yunus who jumped up to block the knife for him and protected him.

But Yunus' left hand was disabled as a result. Although he could still move it, he couldn't even lift anything as heavy as a cup.

Yunus waved his left hand carelessly.

"There is no need to mention the old things. Anyway, after so many years, they have no impact on me."

He took a sip of tea and smiled heartily on his square face that was somewhat similar to Camos.

"It's worth it to buy Aaron Landis's stability for so many years with one of my hands."

His eyes swept over Kamos, and he suddenly felt quite emotional.

He said, "Your Majesty, if the late king were still alive, he would definitely be proud of you."

"Of course, I'm so good."

King Camos replied with a matter-of-fact expression.

Yunus: “…………”

In the camp, the conversation between the two people who had not seen each other for a long time continued until late at night.

…………

……………………

The war ended and we stayed for two more days to wrap things up.

The night before the army was about to return to the royal city, King Camos called Garlan.

"Garlan, since you want Heimos to come back, I will order him to be recalled to the royal city after the situation in the north stabilizes."

"Really, Brother Wang! Thank you!"

After getting what he wanted, Garlan was so excited that he rushed over and hugged his brother.

Ahhhh, this matter is finally solved!

Garlan was excited.

There is no need to worry about how dark Heimos has become now, and there is no need for him to use honey traps... Bah! There is no need to coax people.

He patted Garlan's back gently, hugged his cute little king brother in his arms, lowered his head and buried his nose in the soft hair. King Camos was also very happy.

However, thinking of Garlan's eyes that suddenly lit up when he finished speaking just now, he felt sour in his heart.

Because he had successfully prevented Aaron Landis from having a possible internal fight in the future, the young man breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed Brother Wang's chest in his arms, eyes curling up.

Very good.

he thinks.

We can finally get Heimos back.

...Heimos won't be so sad anymore...

In addition to preventing internal fighting, this secret thought hidden deep in his heart flashed through Garlan's heart, and he suppressed it with some panic.

After he felt relieved, he felt a little strange again.

"Brother Wang."

"Um?"

"Aren't you... angry with me?"

"Why should I be angry with you?"

If he was angry, he would be angry with that brat Heimos.

King Camos thought.

"I am the crown prince. I must get married and have children. I thought you would be angry..."

When he said those words, he was ready to fight with Brother Wang for a period of time. Unexpectedly, Brother Wang followed his wishes and agreed to call Heimos back without saying a word.

"It doesn't matter."

"ah?"

"It doesn't matter if we don't get married and have children. Your brother and I don't get married and have children either. I'm not the same as the crown prince or the king."

Garlan: "..."

After rubbing the head of Garlan who looked at him in astonishment, King Camos smiled lightly.

"Garlan, it is my selfishness and insistence to let you inherit the throne unwillingly. Apart from this, I will never force you to do anything else."

he said softly.

Pushing aside the dyed black hair from the forehead of the young man in his arms, King Camos lowered his head and gently kissed his brother's forehead.

"I am your royal brother and your guardian. As long as it is your decision, whatever you want to do... no matter what it is, remember, Garlan, even if everyone in the world opposes it, I will stand On your side."

Garlan raised his head, his golden eyes reflecting the shadow of Kamos.

He suddenly lowered his head and hugged Camos tightly again.

He buried his face in Camos's chest and rubbed it, like a spoiled child.

King Camos stroked his head lovingly.

Children have their own will and their own decisions.

As long as Garlan wants to do something, he won't stop him.

Garlan wanted Heimos to come back, so he called Heimos back.

...At worst, when that kid comes back, he will fight every day... No, he will train once a day.

Hmm, it seems less.

Young people need more training.

The Lion King thought to himself.

Simply treat the boy's training as a digestion exercise after a meal.
