Chapter 25 II Death Row Prisoners

After the funeral, Li Tianhao and his party returned to Essras City. Li Tianhao, who was riding on a horse, looked a little melancholy, it stands to reason that he officially inherited the position of the leader of the Diers Alliance, Li Tianhao has completely mastered the military and political power of the Diers Alliance, but Li Tianhao's mood is not happy. Because what he was thinking about at the moment was the Yaqui general Ulysses who was on death row.

Originally, Li Tianhao had a lot of hatred for this person, because he thought that Mueller and Jimda had died at the hands of the old general. With Muller and Jimda surviving, Lee's hatred for him vanished, and he was even grateful to Ulysses after learning that it was he who saved them. And these emotions were sublimated after the battle of Kadum City, because of Ulysses's flawless formation and indomitable will to fight, Li Tianhao's favor for the veteran rose to a level of full respect. Now, as the person directly responsible for the killing of the former alliance leader Chail, Li Tianhao will have to execute this Yaqi veteran, which makes Li Tianhao feel very sad.

Although Li Tianhao was ruthless and ruthless when he stabbed the traitor Drum, he was particularly hesitant to execute the former enemy general. When he was walking slowly to the council hall, Wei Song gently walked up to him: "Since Drum has already been punished, then the punishment of that lord must also be completed as soon as possible." ”

Li Tianhao glanced at Wei Song. If it were other subordinates, he might be able to make the envoy push him back, but it was his uncle and military advisor Wei Song who said this, Li Tianhao barely swallowed a mouthful of saliva, nodded and said, "I understand." Mr. I'm going to meet Master Ulysses now. ”

With that, Li Tianhao turned around and walked in the direction of the cell. Alam and Muller hurriedly followed. Senas, who was walking at the end, hugged the back of his head with both hands and sighed loudly: "It looks like his mood will be low for a while." ”

Wei Song nodded: "No matter how reluctant he is to that old man in his heart, he must make up his mind." This painful feeling is something he must face when he walks this path. ”

"Yes, after all, he is still a young man who has just turned twenty, and he is still a rookie with an eggshell in terms of human feelings. You should learn from me, have a good drink, and then be relieved. Xenas yawned, then walked over to the kitchen.

Wei Song shook his head and smiled bitterly, he also agreed with what Xenas said in his heart. At this moment, he has no more leisure time to waste, and he must start working immediately. The post-war reconstruction work was extremely arduous, especially the formation of the Yaji soldiers and the construction of the west bank of the Nanra River. That's what he's doing. After the war, he was the only one who was busier than during the war.

Ulysses in the cell had almost recovered under the careful treatment of the medical officer. Li Tianhao's arrival was already expected by Ulysses, and he showed a faint smile and said: "Master Lao Li Tianhao has come to visit the old man in person, and it seems that it is the turn of the old man to complete his mission." ”

Li Tianhao didn't know how to answer for a while, and hesitated for a long time before barely squeezing out a few words: "I'm really sorry." ”

"Where, the old man has already been prepared, and the good intentions have made me comfortable these days, and you have achieved the long-cherished wish of the old man by doing this."

"If possible, I wish I could have had more time to talk to you."

Ulysses shook his head and said, "In terms of the way of using soldiers. Whether it is the alliance leader himself or Mr. Wei Song of your army, they are better than the old decay, if we are talking about the inside story of the Yaji Army, it is inconvenient to say anything more from my standpoint. I just want to remind you of two things. ”

"Listen to me."

"First, in terms of the martial arts of the Alliance Leader. I'm afraid that there will not be a few opponents in the entire Yaji army. As far as the old man knows, there is only Viscount Libera in the Yaggee Army who can compete with you, except for this person. Then there is only His Royal Highness Ayuka, the younger brother of King Yaki, but His Royal Highness will not go to the battlefield to fight. It can be left unconsidered; Second, if the Alliance Leader intends to continue fighting the Yaki Army. It is necessary to pay attention to the threat of another force, and that is the priestly army. ”

"Priest Army?"

"Yes, although the king's army of Arqui is strong in combat, it is far less demoralized than the priest army. The priestly army was small in number, but it was very fanatical, and for them dying in battle was the highest level of devotion to God, so this army was very terrible. More importantly, in recent years, a young general named Vulture has emerged in the priest army, this person has extremely high command and strategic judgment ability, and the reason why the war with Arubania was won last year can be said to be due to this person's credit. The mountains of Dils were originally the domain of Palci and were worshipped by the god Amun, while the main god of Yaki was Ra, so there was no priestly army in the Tils mountains. If the Dils army were to go north to attack the territory of Yaqui, they would inevitably encounter resistance from the priest army, so be careful. ”

Li Tianhao said with a deep salute when he heard this: "Thank you for your advice, I am very grateful." ”

Ulysses smiled bitterly and sighed and said: "The old man who is about to die is still worried about his family, I want to see Zelda again before I am executed, I don't know if it can fulfill my wish." ”

"Of course, please come with me."

"Thank you."

Li Tianhao immediately led the way and took Ulysses to Zelda's ward.

Zelda's hospital room wasn't big, but it was quite cool, and the interior was simple and soft. Zelda had been able to walk a few days earlier, but he was reluctant to do so, probably thinking in his mind that he should be locked in a cage in shackles as a prisoner.

"Zelda." There was a tremor in Ulysses' voice.

"Father!" Zelda was taken aback when she saw Ulysses, rolled out of bed, and ran all the way to Ulysses: "My son is incompetent, and the army is defeated!" Father, you've been disappointed! ”

"Lord Ulysses, take a leave of absence." Li Tianhao said and turned around and left the ward.

Ulysses and Zelda stayed in the room for a long time, and when they came out, Zelda was already crying. Ulysses calmly thanked Li Tianhao and returned to his cell.

At noon the next day, Ulysses was publicly executed in the square in the city of Esras. Before his execution, Ulysses once again bowed deeply to Li Tianhao, and then calmly went to his death.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zelda asked to meet Li Tianhao. After Li Tianhao heard the news, he hurriedly came to Zelda's ward, only to see that Zelda was already dressed and standing in front of the bed waiting. As soon as she saw Li Tianhao, Zelda said with a straight face: "Yesterday, I was generous enough to let my father and son get along for the last time, and I want to thank you again on behalf of my father." But in any case, you are also the murderer of my father and brother, and I will definitely take revenge on you. It's a pity that I don't have enough strength right now, but one day I will definitely appear in front of you again and defeat you completely! If you're afraid of that day, you can kill me now. ”

Li Tianhao nodded heartily when he heard this: "You are right, you have enough reasons to take revenge on me, and I also promised Ling Zun to let you go back to serve Lord Lingtang, so after you are injured."

"No need! I can't get along with my father's killer for that long, and if you can approve it, then I'll leave tomorrow! ”

"Okay. It's up to you, but be careful on the way and look forward to seeing you again. ”

"Thank you."

The brief conversation was over, and Li Tianhao bowed and then exited the ward. Early in the morning of the next day, Li Tianhao personally led the generals to send Zelda out of Essras City. Zelda, who had just recovered from a serious injury, was obviously not fully adapted to riding, but he resolutely turned his horse's head and headed north. (To be continued......)
