A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

The author has something to say: Guessed wrong~~

Heimos didn't climb up the wall at night.

The city walls are also guarded at night, and you will be discovered if you climb the walls.

The walls of the royal city of Karnar have become chaotic.

A group of Aaron Landis sneaked into the city from nowhere, rushed up the city wall, killed the Gastad soldiers who were on duty at night, and rescued the compatriots imprisoned on the city wall.

A sharp whistle suddenly sounded under the night sky, awakening the Gastard people who had just fallen asleep. The soldiers hurriedly put on their outer armor, picked up their weapons and rushed out amidst the anxious shouts of the generals.

The silence of the city at night was completely broken. For a moment, there were hurried footsteps, the neighing of military horses, and the clash of weapons everywhere.

Outside the city, the camp of the Aaron Landis people in the distance, which seemed to have been silent in the dark for a long time, suddenly lit up.

The soldiers who should have taken off their armor and were sleeping on the bed were now fully armed, holding newly lit torches, forming a neat military formation.

The army, led by deputy commander Caihuos, quickly rushed to the city.

By the light of torches, Aaron Landis's infantry took advantage of the darkness and began to attack the city.

The catapults and other siege equipment that had been maintained in the evening were pushed over with a rumble in the light of the fire, and were once again aimed at the city wall not far away.

Outside the gates of King Kanal City, countless Aaron Landis cavalry stood tall in the dark night.

The horses under the cavalrymen neighed low on the noisy battlefield, as if infected by the atmosphere of war, their hooves scratched the ground under their feet.

The majestic cavalry stood on the ground, waiting quietly, ready to go.

At the front of the huge Aaron Landis cavalry, the blond hair of the knight in the blazing sun was unusually dazzling in the firelight.

"Lord Kayhos, since you and Lord Heimos both know the secret passage leading into the city, why didn't you send someone to sneak in from the beginning?"

Tevar, who was following Caihos, was waiting, and finally couldn't help but ask.

That's right, before the expedition, the former Canal prince Sia, who had been renamed Novi, came to Kehos specifically and told him and Heimos about this secret passage.

That was a secret passage that only the royal family of Kanal knew, so West Asia was able to successfully escape from the royal city of Kanal, which was surrounded by Gastad's army.

Tonight, Heimos led a group of extremely powerful warriors under his command to sneak into the city through this secret passage, and climbed up the city wall to save people.

"It's just a secret passage used by the royal family of Kanal to escape. In order to be concealed, such secret escape passages are usually very narrow and cannot allow too many people to pass through at one time."

Cayjos replied calmly.

"A maximum of several hundred people can be sneaked in at a time, but it's just a drop in the bucket and has no effect at all."

In some biographies or novels, they always like to write about a surprise attack strategy in which a small group of soldiers sneaked into the city through a secret passage, opened the city gate, and destroyed the city with almost no damage.

Ordinary people would take this so-called 'surprise attack' seriously and think it was some kind of conspiracy, but to generals like them who have experienced hundreds of battles, it was just a joke, and they could just laugh at it.

Unless the generals of the defenders are really incompetent, the important city gates will be heavily guarded even late at night, and it will take a lot of time to open the heavy gates - just dozens or hundreds of people. There is no way the team can open the city gate unless all of these people are brave warriors who can fight one against a hundred.

However, in reality, how can we find hundreds of powerful warriors that are rare for thousands of years in one go?

Of course, if the city was fortified and could not be attacked no matter what, he and Heimos would use this secret passage to find a way.

But the siege is progressing smoothly, and it can be taken head-on, so there is no need to think too much.

The so-called wars, surprise attacks, and tricks are all deceptions, extremely risky, and should only be used under forced circumstances.

The correct way to win is to completely overwhelm the opponent with strength and momentum.

Caihos raised his head and stared at the chaotic battlefield on the city wall, his golden hair brushing the dark eyepatch on one side.

As he listened to the sounds of fighting coming from above, he suddenly remembered the scene tonight.

In the dimly lit camp, the man standing under the light lowered his head and fastened the armor on his arm.

‘I promised Garlan that I would bring his people back to Aaronlandis. ’

The man said so lightly, grabbed the long sword on the table, opened the door curtain, and strode out.

In the dark night, the blond knight's eyes showed complicated emotions.

…………

Everyone on the city wall is now fighting together.

Hundreds of brave warriors led by Heimos himself were fighting with the Gastad soldiers on the city wall, rescuing the compatriots imprisoned on the city wall one after another.

After being imprisoned on the city wall for several days, these people were very weak, but as soon as they were rescued, they seemed to gain infinite strength.

Even a sickly and nearly dying lion is still a lion.

The wildness in his bones will never disappear, and no matter how long he is chained, his claws will remain sharp.

They picked up the swords that they had not held for a long time, as if they were holding an extremely important part of their lives that they had lost - transforming from slaves into warriors of Aaron Landis again, they followed Heymos and the city wall The Gastard people fought desperately together.

Fence after fence was opened.

There were sounds of chains being broken, and the warriors who had regained their freedom had their eyes red, and they were killing the enemy crazily.

It was like a snowball, little by little, it rolled more and more, and the lineup became bigger and bigger.

From the beginning, Heimos brought only a few hundred people, and as more and more people were rescued, it gradually grew into thousands and thousands of people.

What started as a small stream merged with water droplets from all directions, and gradually formed a torrent that swept across the city wall.

The Gastad soldiers guarding the city wall not only had to resist the Aaron Landis soldiers outside who climbed up the city wall along the ladder, but also had to fight the Aaron Landis people who had been rescued on the city wall. They could not balance it at all, and gradually Overwhelmed by the opponent.

Like a flood that broke a dike, more and more Aaron Landis soldiers rushed up the city wall and gathered under the team led by Heimos.

Gradually, on the city wall, Aaron Landis's troops overwhelmed the Gastad soldiers.

At the forefront of the fight, Heimos' black armor was splattered with blood.

Under his feet and around him were corpses.

Wherever the blade of his hand touched, blood splattered three feet away.

Even the always brave Gastad people couldn't help but become timid when they saw the murderous black figure, and instinctively shrank back.

The Black Knight of Hell.

The evil god who emerged from the fire of hell.

It makes people tremble in fear.

No wonder their powerful Prince of Tyr died at the hands of this man.

Who can resist such a terrifying enemy?

…………

Reflecting the swaying firelight on the city wall, the golden-red eyes swept around, revealing the coldness of the night.

Heimos didn't speak, he just raised his hand and waved forward.

Just such an action caused the soldiers following him to roar like a mountain and a tsunami.

Led by their unrivaled commander, they swooped down the city walls with great momentum.

The Gastad soldiers guarding the city wall retreated steadily before this surging torrent.

The Aaronlanders attacked the city wall in one go, captured this place, and struggled to turn the huge winch.

The winch rotated slowly, and the gate on the city wall was lifted little by little.

The iron horse of Aaron Landis, who had been waiting outside the city gate for a long time, rushed in ferociously the moment the city gate opened. With his horse neighing, he knocked down the Gastard soldiers blocking the gate and turned them upside down.

The sharp swords in their hands severely split the enemy's heads.

The spears in their hands penetrated deeply into the enemy's chest.

They seemed to want to vent all the anger they had been holding back for the past few days at this moment, like a group of hungry wolves with red eyes, launching a mad charge against the enemies in the city.

Heimos rushed down from the city wall, leaped, and climbed onto his horse.

With a tug on the reins, the horse beneath him neighed and turned around.

He and Caihos, who was leading the cavalry to fight, looked at each other in the air and nodded slightly, confirming each other's thoughts.

Heimos led thousands of cavalry on horseback and rushed along the royal road towards the palace in the center of the city.

Caijos, on the other hand, led the remaining cavalry and the infantry who rushed down from the city wall to continue fighting at the city gate to ensure that the city gate was completely controlled by his side.

After Heimos left, he led the army and launched a fierce battle with the Gastad soldiers who came from both sides in an endless stream.

…………

The snow-white palace stands in the dark night.

Noble and elegant, like a gorgeous and exquisite work of art.

The last part of the building rises from the ground against the steep cliff, and most of it is embedded in the mountain wall. It is an almost completely suspended building, which looks both exquisite and spectacular.

The clear spring flows down from the cliff and falls on the ground, forming a clear river surrounding the white palace.

It is a symbol of the cultural heritage and the heyday of art in Karnal for thousands of years, and is the pride of Karnal people.

However, it is now occupied by the invaders who destroyed Kanal.

Most of the Gasdad troops are distributed near the three city walls, while the troops in the center of the royal city are much smaller in comparison.

Heimos led Aaron Landis's cavalry to charge all the way, with overwhelming momentum.

Immediately afterwards, there was a fierce battle in front of the White Palace, and the Gastad people who were guarding outside the palace were defeated.

They fled to the rear and retreated into the palace.

Turning over and dismounting, Heimos led the crowd into the palace.

When he entered the palace along the high white stone steps, the corpses of Gastard people were everywhere on the snow-white road and steps in the palace.

He stepped on the enemy's corpses and blood and strode into the hall.

The black and red cloak flew behind him, sucking all the firelight on both sides of the palace into the deep black.

At the very back of the palace, it is also the highest point.

A middle-aged Gastad man with pale skin and a thick beard stood in the room of the tower.

He stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows, condescendingly looking down at the Aaron Landis people who entered the palace with an indifferent expression.

He is the commander-in-chief of the Garstard army guarding Karnar, and a loyal subordinate of the dead Prince of Tyr.

The middle-aged commander stared fixedly at the tall knight in black armor.

The dark armor has been stained with the blood of the Gastad people.

Black Knight Heimos.

It was this man who killed the monarch he was loyal to, the Prince of Tire.

And now, he has also fallen into this man's hands.

He stared at Heimos coldly.

Suddenly, a sinister smile appeared on his lips.

A ferocious and crazy look flashed in his dark eyes.

…

In the main hall of the Karnal Palace, which was as white as clouds, Heimos stood quietly.

In this light-colored hall, standing in black armor, he looked unusually abrupt.

The long sword in his hand pointed to the ground, and the blood that had not yet dried dripped down the blade onto the white jade ground.

He looked around, his handsome face stained with blood looked extremely cold, and his eyes were solemn, as if he was thinking about something very important.

The surrounding Aaron Landis soldiers looked at Heimos with awe. They breathed softly and stepped back so as not to disturb their commander's thinking about important matters.

At this moment, Heimos, who was looking around the palace hall, was thinking...

It is said that Karnal's craftsmanship and art are unparalleled in the world, and I originally thought that I could find some treasures and bring them back to Garlan.

But after looking around, Heimos thought that Kanal's slender and exquisite style did not seem to be the type that Garlan liked.

Well, forget it then.

As soon as Heimos finished thinking about the 'important matters', a man hurried over from the side and reported to him.

"Your Excellency! Found it!"

The soldier who ran quickly to report gasped for breath.

"They were all kept in the slave yard behind the palace."

Heimos nodded, stepped forward, and led everyone quickly towards the back of the palace.

There were tens of thousands of Aaronlandis who were captured by the Gastards and brought to the Royal City of Kanal. They were all turned into slaves and enslaved.

Even if the Gastad people took them as hostages, they could not send all the tens of thousands of people to the city wall. They only drove thousands of people to the city wall. The remaining people were naturally imprisoned in the slave yard behind the palace.

These Aaron Landis people who were imprisoned here had been waiting nervously and uneasily after being awakened from their sleep by the sound of fighting outside.

At this moment, they saw the soldiers wearing familiar black and red armor rushing in, and they let out excited shouts.

The stone pillar fence that had imprisoned them for more than a year was broken open, and the iron chains that locked them like livestock were cut off. After more than a year of living in darkness, they finally regained their freedom.

Many people couldn't help but have red circles in their eyes. They almost couldn't wait to rush outside, following the footsteps of their comrades, and quickly rushed out of this place where they had suffered so much suffering and humiliation.

At this moment, everyone's faces were full of joy, and the joyful atmosphere infected every place.

Since there was only one exit, everyone formed a neat queue and left the place quickly and orderly.

Heimos stood quietly on the high platform on one side, watching the long queue of people crawling outside as fast as a dragon.

His expression was cold and emotionless, but everyone who passed by under the high platform looked at him with gratitude and awe.

Raising his hand and inserting the long sword that was no longer bleeding into its scabbard, Heimos raised his head and looked toward the southeast.

His eyes seemed to penetrate the thick walls and distant space, looking towards the golden palace on the seaside.

The palace where the blond boy was.

Five months have passed in a flash.

He had not seen Garlan for five months.

Missing makes people suffer so much, it is more bitter than poison and more heart-piercing than a sword.

The fierceness of the war still remained in the sharp corners of his eyes, but at this moment, there was a trace of softness in the eyes of the blood-stained black knight.

He raised his hand, and his light-colored lips gently fell on the malachite ring between his fingers.

The war is over.

He was finally able to make his way home.

Back to Aaron Landis.

Back to that golden palace.

Return to his beloved boy.

…………

Noor was at the back, moving forward as the line moved.

Although everyone left very quickly, there were tens of thousands of people here after all. After a while, a small number of people still couldn't leave.

Noor was in no hurry.

It took more than a year to get through it, no less than a short time.

He raised his head and looked in awe at Lord Heimos standing on the high platform.

He saw Lord Heimos, who had been standing there, suddenly move, jump down from the high platform, and walk towards him, as if he was planning to leave with the last group of them.

Noor was feeling nervous because the other party was approaching, and suddenly he felt a pain in his head, as if he had been hit by something.

He looked down and saw a stone rolling under his feet.

Strange, how could a stone fall and hit his head in a place like this?

Noor thought in confusion.
