Chapter 385: Gyeonggi Army, Dust and Sky
The sun was shining, and there was a hustle and bustle outside Alto City. Seven thousand Imperial Guards broke out of camp and marched south, their white-gold cloth armor shining in the fields. The heavy bronze cannon was mounted on a cannon cart and towed forward by the civilian men accompanying the camp.
The Black Wolf's flag was flying high, and five hundred personal guards were closely guarding it. Accompanied by the warrior captain, Shulot climbed a hill. There are many tall rag trees in the hills and some dahlias in bloom. And among the tall trees and flowers, a solitary grave stood quietly. There is a wordless stone tablet erected on the solitary grave, but an abstract rose is carved in the center.
The king stood there, silently staring at the lonely grave. He didn't come closer and didn't speak. He just watched a hummingbird dancing lightly among the flowers and lonely graves. Until the sun sets slightly and the shadows of the trees cover the tombs. The hummingbird pecked the abstract rose lightly, as if it was a last kiss, then fluttered its wings and suddenly flew into the distance.
The king smiled tenderly, turned around, and buried everything in his heart. His heart became harder and harder, making up for the last shortcomings and letting go of the last softness. After the sacrifice of life, there is a true king.
"Let's go!"
"As you command, Your Highness."
The two walked quietly down the mountain. The personal guards were surrounded by clanging bronze armor. When he reached the bottom of the mountain, the king spoke calmly.
"When did the envoy sent to the Gyeonggi Army set out?"
"Your Majesty, we set out last night and should be here by now."
Bertard raised his head and looked at the noon sun. The envoys in the army are all good at running. Their legs are tied tightly with gauze and they can run more than two hundred miles in a day and night. Of course, you have to rest or change people the next day.
"Um."
The king nodded and looked towards the south with a solemn expression.
"The army goes south, traveling forty miles a day! I will reach Kuramo City within five days!"
"Your will be followed, Your Highness."
Changfeng traveled hundreds of miles south and arrived at the military camp of the Gyeonggi Army.
In the big tent, a row of bronze-armored guards were holding bronze axes and looking solemn. Jaguar Orosh sat cross-legged in the main seat, frowning, listening to the scout's reply. As soon as he finished reading the king's order and ordered the entire army to move out, the scout encountered a nearby civilian warrior who reported that the Crow family in front was planning to rebel.
"Is there anything unusual happening in the Crow family?"
"Captain, since early in the morning, the warriors of the Crow family have gathered, and the militiamen of the territory are also recruiting."
"act recklessly!"
Jaguar Orosh's eyes widened and he roared angrily.
"These damn southern nobles actually dare to assassinate His Highness! The legions attacked and surrounded the Crow Manor! I will wipe them all out and sacrifice them to the Lord God!"
Hearing this, Huitu Puap and Sky Family leader Orta looked at each other. Puap mouthed something, but Horta didn't respond. Puap had no choice but to step forward on his own.
"Dear Captain Orosh!"
"Captain Puap, what do you want to say?"
Jaguar glanced at Huitu fiercely and said coldly.
"I heard that you have received a lot of benefits from the Crow Family. Do you want to intercede for the Crow Family?"
Huitu's back was sweating. He forced a smile.
"Captain, these are all small items worth mentioning. I will send them to you when I get back. The Crow family has always been respectful, so they should not be unable to see the general trend. The key now is His Majesty's royal order. Damn Zi Chief Cao dared to assassinate His Highness! We Prepecha warriors are all indignant. Your Majesty is our sun! The Zicao family has guarded the south for generations and has been operating in Kuramo City for a long time. Although General Etalik is brave, after all. people"
"Puap, what on earth do you want to say?!"
The jaguar stood up and stared at the dust, its strong body bringing oppression.
"Commander, the Qincongcan Warrior Camp is requesting orders to go south immediately to attack the Zicao Family!"
"Exactly! Captain, please give me another half day! Crow Clan Leader Sitley is on his way back to attend His Majesty's banquet. Although he is old, he is quite agile and can arrive tonight at the latest. Even if the Crow Clan has Even if people are confused, the old patriarch will not be confused and dare to resist the king's army. In addition, the Sky Warrior Camp also requested orders to go south immediately to attack the Zicao Family! "
Horta, the head of the Sky Family, took a step forward and respectfully asked for instructions. He was born into a glorious noble family. Although he was young, he led loyal warriors of the Sky Family. In addition, he surrendered the kingdom earlier and married a Mexican noblewoman. In the Gyeonggi Army, his words carry more weight than dust.
"Horta, if you ask, I will wait another half day!"
Jaguar thought for a while and nodded. Although he was angry at the assassination of the southern nobles, he would not go on a killing spree and delay the business. The key to the Eastern Route Army is in Kuramo City. Jaguar looked at the two men and made a decision.
"Since you two asked for orders, I will give you a chance to make a contribution! Puap, you take two thousand troops to attack the Lithospermum Manor! Orta, you go to support Kuramo City! Remember, the Lithospermum family, The crime is unforgivable, don’t leave Gulamo!”
"As you command, Commander!"
The two of them knelt down to salute, and turned to leave at the same time. The jaguar stared at the backs of the two men with fierce eyes until they disappeared outside the tent. His Highness was assassinated, and he also became suspicious of the two battalion commanders who were from Prepecha. But His Highness is safe and sound, the kingdom is still as stable as a mountain, and no legion dares to launch a rebellion and bring about their own destruction.
Thinking of this, Jaguar sat back in the tent again. He looked at the armored warriors in the tent, pressed the armor under his shirt, and whispered to himself.
"Then just wait! Let's see how they perform!"
Outside the tent, Puap walked forward with his head sullenly, while Horta hurried behind. The two of them walked hundreds of steps before Orta sighed quietly.
"Huitu, how could this happen! How dare Gulamo assassinate His Majesty!"
"Hmph, Horta, he is a poisonous snake. Only you, the woman he sent has blinded your mind! And you even got me involved!"
"I have sent my personal guards back to Gyeonggi to kill them all."
Orta argued weakly, still feeling a little reluctant. The noble girls of the Mexican people are aloof and domineering, but how can the beauties of the Lithospermum family be gentle, obedient, and understanding of emotions.
"Huitu, the biggest problem now is the secret letter we wrote to him! At that time, we agreed to help each other, but how could we expect that he would dare to launch a rebellion and assassinate His Majesty! And he has not succeeded yet!"
"Damn it! I can't even read, but I can only draw some graphics, so there's no point in forming an alliance with him!"
Puap suppressed the anger in his heart, looked left and right, and roared in a low voice.
"At that time, His Majesty traveled thousands of miles north and didn't know when he would return. I was confused, so you pulled me to enjoy his beauty together and wrote a letter to communicate with each other! It wasn't you, such a great nobleman and I both I can’t get online. You’ve screwed me up!”
"Huitu, that's not what you said at that time! When you were drunk, didn't you say that the chief was very kind to you, and that if His Majesty didn't come back from the northern expedition, we would support Prince Tarasco together."
"Shhh!!"
Huitu Puap covered Sky Horta's mouth.
"Do you want to die! How dare you say such things in the military camp!"
"Isn't this already at the head of your camp?"
"My battalion leader is also your Majesty's warrior! Warrior Qin Congcan has been here for many years. He believes in the Lord God, accepts military honors, and lives in the royal capital. If they report to the war priest."
Hearing this, Horta lowered his head and remained silent. Although his Sky Warrior Camp is slightly better, it is still entrusted by His Majesty and taught by priests. It has been deeply penetrated by the kingdom and can no longer be regarded as a family force. After a while, he whispered to himself.
"Huitu, we are just chatting, we just have to pay attention in the future."
"Haha, that will have to happen later."
Huitu Puap's face was gloomy.
"Because His Highness was assassinated, the regiment leader had murderous intentions towards us in the tent today."
"Ah? Huitu, did you see it wrong?"
Horta was immediately moved. He didn't notice it at all.
Huitu Puap glanced at Orta coldly. In fact, to be precise, the leader's murderous intention today should be directed at him. Because Horta really poses no threat, it is easy to clean up.
"Horta, the words you have said and the things you have done will always leave a trace."
Huitu thought for a moment, and his expression became fierce.
"This time we asked for orders to go south just to buy time! We must clean up everything before His Majesty goes south!"
"Well, that's true."
Orta nodded, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Huitu, calculate the itinerary, Gulamo is probably in this area. Should we send some warriors to search for it?"
"No. Gulamog must have gone south, or even returned to the fiefdom."
Huitu shook his head. He looked towards the south and said in a deep voice.
"If he can do such a big thing as assassinating His Majesty, he must be prepared to fight to the death. We will set off immediately, bypassing the Crow Family's manor, and go straight to Kuramo City to kill!"
"Okay! I'll send an envoy to the Crow Family. The army will go south immediately! Gulamo must be killed!"
The two Prepecha generals looked at each other, stretched out their arms, and held each other. Their faces were full of unconcealed murderous intent, not for the kingdom, but for themselves.
"Quack! Quack!"
The sun was setting, and a crow flew across the sky, making a death cry. It looked down curiously. There were people similar to itself on the manor. Under the vigilant eyes of the Crow family, four thousand Prepecha warriors quickly moved south along the edge of the manor, raising clouds of dust and covering the sky.
