Chapter 137, The Dawn of Chaos
Beneath the holy mountain, countless barbarians who have joined the Golden Horde for their future.
In order to protect the holy mountain.
In order to survive.
Eventually fell on the battlefield.
The end of the war has allowed countless barbarians to see a glorious end, and the Golden Horde is heading towards a future of twilight and decay.
However.
The Golden Horde Khan Adira Abu Basi, Kim Abu Basi, Dorr Abu Basi, and others, who had retreated to the Holy Mountain, did not think so.
The royal court developed through raiding, although it was strengthened.
But they didn't really digest the gains.
Never really got stronger!
Because they have experienced thousands of years of inheritance, but have been defeated by the Augustians several times, and in the end, they can only add a piece of war to the Augustian Empire in history, and the barbarians who have added a lot of achievements to the Augustian Empire are too backward and decadent!
If you don't change, you will never be able to win the vast Augustian Empire.
"So you have buried more than 100,000 people......"
On the Heavenly Pillar Sacred Mountain, in the altar of the Ancestral Spirits, the great shaman's face was full of sadness, and he felt unworthy for those clansmen who died guarding the holy mountain.
"That's more than 100,000 people!"
"Adira Abu Basi, how can you be so ruthless!"
Adira, the Golden Horde Khan who escaped from the hands of Ares for the second time, bowed his head in shame, and then suddenly raised it again, his face full of determination.
"I'm here for the future of the clan. ”
The altar fell silent.
After a long time, the great shaman sighed and said, "I know that I have seen the danger of the extinction of my tribe under the inspiration of the spirits of my ancestors. ”
"And you are the only one who can save the fire on par with me. ”
"I will give you all the inheritance. ”
Adira nodded: "I will never let you down." ”
"We will take revenge!"
The Great Shaman turned around and shook his head to lead the way for the Great Khan of the Golden Horde: "Alas, it is useless to talk more, follow me to take the inheritance." ”
The stubborn winter was finally driven away by the early spring, and as the sun slowly rose, the morning sun shone on the top of the pillars, sanctifying the ancient stone altar, and outside the altar, Kim Abu Basi and Dorr Abu Basi looked into the distance to welcome the dawn of a new day.
......
......
After cleaning the battlefield, they set up camp next to the Shura field full of vultures, falcons, and crows, rested enough, ate, and continued to fight.
Even in the early spring of the grassland, the weather is still cold.
Flies also appeared on the pile of corpses, and the smell of blood filled the sky and the earth, and the wind could not disperse.
After noon.
The reorganized army slaughtered towards the sacred mountain of the grassland.
"This is the Heavenly Pillar Sacred Mountain of the Barbarians?" Looking up at the cone-shaped pillar mountain that towered between heaven and earth, feeling the strong elemental power and special charm, Lan Dun couldn't help but say: "It's really extraordinary!"
Ordered the army to blockade the Holy Mountain, and platoon cavalry to clear the remnants of the surrounding tribes.
Bruce also led his troops to the mountain.
Along the way, everyone did not encounter obstacles, and they arrived at the stone altar on the top of the Heavenly Pillar Holy Mountain very smoothly.
"This is where the barbarian shamanic path originated?"
Looking at the altar, everyone was full of curiosity.
In the stone altar, the old man with a fat body and gray hair held the war hammer tightly, staring at everyone without saying a word, and Bruce saw this, and under the protection of Langton and Roderick, he slowly stood up.
"I am Marshal Bruce Medici of the Crusaders. ”
"Who are you?"
The fat old man with the war hammer was silent, Bruce frowned, and asked again, "You don't understand the lingua franca of the Empire?"
"I understand!" said the hammer-wielding old man sullenly, "I am the High Priest of the Holy Mountain. ”
Bruce nodded, "High Priestess, I'll give you a chance to live." ”
"Hand over your shamanic lineage and surrender. ”
"Or die!"
The High Priest of the Holy Mountain shook his head: "In addition to sacrificing to the Holy Mountain, I am also the Great Shaman of the Barbarian Race in your mouth. ”
"It's my duty to protect the legacy!"
"So you don't pay it?" Bruce didn't bother to talk nonsense, and directly ordered: "Kill!"
The rest of the people went inside the altar to look for the shaman's lineage. ”
"Delusional!"
The Great Shaman frantically gathered the elements, and as soon as he stepped on it, the ground thundered, and then the whole person shot at Bruce Medici like a cannonball.
"Die!"
"Hurry back!"
Langton burst out of his telekinesis and stepped forward, allowing Roderick to escort Bruce into the crowd for protection.
"Look for death!"
"Boom~!!"
Perceive that the Great Shaman has the strength of the Golden Peak.
As a doppelganger, Lanton knew that he was invincible, and pushed Roderick and Bruce back into the crowd to be protected, and immediately chose to blow himself up.
The great shaman, who had been halted by the spontaneous explosion of the doppelganger, was stunned.
But when he saw Lanton's clone flying in the air, he immediately understood what was going on.
"I didn't expect you Imperial people to have such tactics. ”
Failing to kill the enemy marshal, the Great Shaman suddenly fell under the siege of many transcendents, and there was no chance to rush over to capture the thief and capture the king again.
"Ares, help kill him. ”
There are only two powerhouses at the peak of the golden rank in the entire grassland, guessing the state of the barbarians, and Bruce doesn't want to continue to waste time.
Armed with a spear and a shield on his back, Ares spears like a dragon.
Instantly suppress the Great Shaman.
"Boom~!!"
The self-detonation of the Lanton clone continues.
Even with the suppression of the Holy Mountain, it was found that Adira Abu Basi had fled, and he did not know where he had escaped.
Dealing with the Great Shaman now may be the last battle of this battle.
So, Ares had to work a little harder.
Under the onslaught of the spear, the Great Shaman was affected by the self-explosion of Langton's clone and the siege of many transcendents.
The sword is unsheathed.
The Great Shaman was in a different place in an instant.
"Marshal, we have not found the inheritance of the barbarians......"
The mages searched the altar, but found nothing.
The same goes for the transcendents and the soldiers.
"Nothing?" Bruce thought of the fleeing Golden Horde Adira Abu Basi, "It seems that the things here have been taken away by the fleeing men." ”
"It's okay, Gabry, you control the clone to chase it. ”
"Find them for me. ”
"As for this barbarian altar for sacrificing ancestors, there is no need for it to exist. ”
"Come on, demolish this place for me!"
Upon receiving the order, the crowd immediately destroyed the ancient stone altar.
The grasslands are inhospitable and vast.
Even if there was a map, it was not easy for the cavalry to find the barbarians who were bent on hiding, and Langton made multiple clones and flew in the sky to search, but there was no trace of the fleeing Golden Horde and others.
Although Langton had the intention of releasing water to the enemy, he did not expect the enemy to be very effective in escaping.
More than a month has passed, and the Golden Horde King and barbarian women and children have not been found.
Bruce Medici also had no choice but to give up.
Then start distributing the loot!
In fact.
For the barbarians, Langton still has a very big doubt.
The army broke down so many barbarian tribes.
Why didn't they find the slaves they captured?
Not a single one!
Why is that?
Could it be that there is something behind it?
Or is it .....
Have they all been killed?
But that's not right.
The number of steppe barbarians is small, and they need slaves to serve as labor, so if they want to kill, why do they have to capture them so much?
Hey... Wait a minute......
The barbarians are good at grazing, and they are indeed short of people, but they don't have to take away so many people from the snowy regions and the western Northlands.
Unless......
What did they find that was extremely labor-intensive......
Thinking of this, Langton didn't tell Bruce Medici, nor Tywin and Chris.
They didn't even tell Yelena and Isabella about their plans.
Another month passed.
The army finally left the steppe and returned to Grey Serpent.
Because of the summons of the Clinton clone, the Chamber of Commerce brought people to this border fortress quickly, and then used a large amount of gold coins and goods to trade with people with countless loot.
Of course, with such a big business, the Langton Chamber of Commerce did not dare to swallow it all.
Langton also informed others.
Suddenly, Grey Serpent became a thriving trading city.
Countless horses, cattle and sheep were sold.
Here, Langton saw a great business opportunity.
But now is not the time to do this business.
And the joy of victory also dissipated in an instant because the landless nobles received orders from the imperial capital.
Because......
Emperor Adams August ordered that all the landless nobles who had contributed to this battle should be rewarded as pioneer knights.
And stay in the grassland forever!
This is completely forcing the imperial lord and the landless nobles in the middle of the country to death!
With such a great merit in exterminating the barbarians, the emperor didn't give them knighthoods and promotions, but he still wanted them to stay in the desolate grassland forever to guard?
Is there such a thing for the heroes?
If it weren't for the fact that Grey Serpent had a large number of nobles and soldiers from the west, east, and south.
Maybe some landless nobles will directly raise a rebellion!
But anyway.
The future of the landless aristocracy is already doomed......
"The Duchess of Isabella Stuart, the Earl of the Bronx Woodford, once told us that the Northlands were very short of men, and that there were many territories that were unmanaged.
After this battle of the grasslands, I think I have shown enough strength.
So I hope to belong to the Northland Stuart here!"
Outside the Gray Snake Castle, in the main tent of the military camp in the snowy region and the northland, Lan Don, who was about to discuss things with the two duchesses, entered the door and saw a group of landless nobles, among whom the middle-aged man with a beard was talking eloquently in the account.
Hearing the words of the middle-aged beard, Wickley Woodford and the Northland nobles around him were a little moved.
Tywin and Artemisia frowned.
To accept the subordination of these people is obviously to bear all the wrongs they will make.
Here the mistake even includes rebellion!
And neither Northland nor Stuart can afford it!
Tywin said, "Duchess, it's okay to accept their submission, but they must let go of everything they once had. ”
"Otherwise, the Northland will suffer. ”
"Lord Tywin, what do you mean by that?" Wickley was a little upset when he heard this, "What do you mean by letting go of everything you once had?"
Artemisia said, "Lord Tywin's words are more subtle. ”
"But it means that they can't take away their rights and territories from His Majesty the Emperor...... and hatred of the Grand Duke of Medici to come to the Northlands. ”
Hearing this, Wickley also came to his senses, nodded a little awkwardly, and stopped talking.
"This... Lady. "Middle-aged eight-character beard: "Since we have joined the Northland, of course, we think that the interests of the Stuart family come first. ”
Nothing will be done to harm the interests of the Northland and Stuart. ”
Yelena raised an eyebrow, touched her cousin with her elbow, and asked, "Isabella, do you believe him?"
Isabella frowned when she heard this: "There are many territories in the Northland that need to be managed. ”
Yelena nodded: "It's the same with the snowy region. ”
"But we have to be cautious. ”
"Not everyone can be accepted as a vassal. ”
Middle-aged with a beard: "Does Duchess Yelena Romanov mean anything else?"
Elena: "That's right, that means you're not qualified!"
