Chapter 32: The Fuse (II)
The junction between the kingdom of Ardley and Rositin, the canyon of the Norseman, is the place where the two countries cease. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
However, tonight, in this valley, there is a strong smell of blood.
"Whew!"
"Whew! Oh! Oh! ”
A wolf howl sounded, followed by several pairs of green eyes, which appeared in the darkness.
"Click! Click! Click! ”
Then came the sound of the teeth rubbing against the bones and the minced meat.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The deafening sound of horses' hooves echoed through the valley. The wild wolves suddenly raised their heads alertly. Then, under the leadership of the wolf, he quickly left.
"Whew!"
The horses stopped, and in the silence of the night, the sound of the horses panting was a little harsh.
"General!"
I don't know how long it took, but finally a small soldier spoke.
"What do we do now? The entire tulip family's convoy was wiped out, and our responsibility is not small! ”
"Death doesn't admit it!" The leader, with a hoarse voice, spat out a few words from between his teeth.
"But, here......" The little soldier was still in a cold sweat, and wanted to say something more.
"It's none of our business! It's the Ardrians who have been indoctrinated! They are jealous of the wealth of the Tulip family, so they kill people and sell goods! Do you understand! ”
The general-like man slapped the soldier to the ground. The sound was heard almost throughout the valley.
"Understood...... I see! ”
The soldier who had been dismounted nodded tremblingly.
Obviously, he also understood that if he wanted to survive and avoid the wrath of the Tulip family, he had to retreat everything to the Adrian army on the other side.
Just when all the soldiers were about to grit their teeth, one of them spoke up again: "General, in this case, then the wealth of these tulips ......"
That's right, those goddamn bastards, although they killed everyone in the tulip convoy, did not take away those precious belongings everywhere.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn green, just like the vicious wolves from before.
"Hide everything and divide it all when the time comes! There's something for everyone! ”
The general did not hesitate and immediately ordered. In particular, the words "everyone has a share" bite particularly hard.
"Yes!"
A uniform voice rang out behind the general.
Obviously, no one expected that this time not only could they avoid the wrath of the Tulip family, but they could even get a lot of money.
No one questioned, let alone dared to tell the truth. Because, the entire Luo Xiting Kingdom attaches great importance to collective honor, and if one person is convicted, the whole team will be implicated.
No one is stupid......
Fortunately, the wagons carrying large batches of silk and paper were not damaged, so it was much easier for everyone to carry them.
Outside the canyon, both to the south and to the north, was very familiar to them. It is not too easy to find a mountain forest and hide it.
While this group of dozens of rangers was busy, they were completely unaware that somewhere on this cliff, a pair of dark eyes were staring at them tightly.
In the early morning of the next day, it was faintly bright, but outside the canyon, there were more than 1,000 Luo Xiting troops stationed. And they are all cleaning up the corpses that almost fill the valley.
"It's a three-hooked light feather arrow used by the Ardleys." A muscular man said as he gently held on to the bloodstained arrow.
"It seems that this day is about to change......"
News from across the border spread faster than anyone expected. In just one day, the letterhead had been delivered to King Rositin.
This is, of course, due to the unparalleled influence of the tulip family. After all, if such a big thing happens, the Tulip family, whether it is to vent their anger or to establish their power, must find someone to open the knife.
No one is stupid enough to go to the trouble of the Tulip family at this time.
Therefore, in order to deliver this letter, I don't know how many horses died of exhaustion along the way.
In the royal court, King Luo Xiting, who received the letter, was not as nervous as he imagined.
On the contrary, he showed a hint of excitement.
"Your Majesty!"
In the middle of the court, there was a rush of footsteps. Then, a man in his fifties walked briskly into the main hall.
"Uncle, you're here!" The king stood up with some excitement.
As in the kingdom of Adri, almost all countries on the entire continent are cronyism. As a result, almost all of the top executives have relationships.
"Has my uncle known the news?"
"Hmm. I guess this should be able to hit! "The old man was obviously more excited than King Rositin.
"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”
"This time, the Tulip family has suffered such a great loss, and only blood can calm their anger. Moreover, you must know that the Tulip family has purchased a large number of repeaters. Now that they have lost such a big face, they will definitely make a big effort when the time comes. In this way, our financial burden will be reduced considerably. ”
"But will this attract the reproach of the church?"
This is what King Luo Xiting really cares about, after all, if he provokes an all-out war between the church and the Heavenly Master Temple, then he will be more than lucky.
However, the uncle shook his head with a smile.
"My Majesty, have you forgotten the group of otherworldly? With them, the Heavenly Master Hall is in a situation where the enemy is on the back of the abdomen. ”
King Rosickine's eyes lit up. At first, he remembered that Cardinal Stanley of the Church had a good conversation with the messenger.
Or think about it another way. If that group of otherworlders and the Heavenly Master Hall could get along, would they still come to Luo Xiting?
The more the king thought about it, the more excited he felt, and then he clapped his hand and said, "This king has decided, the kingdom of Yardli is mad, and in disregard of the treaty, he will kill the merchants of the Tulip family. As the king of Rositin, I must be responsible for my people! ”
"Convene a court council! Immediately! Right away! ”
"Yes!"
The old man smiled, bowed, and then walked towards the outside of the hall without hurrying.
The Norsman Gorge is an important passage, especially the appearance of the Lower City, which has led to a large number of caravans entering Yadley.
Therefore, when such a big thing happened in the canyon, the side of the Adley Kingdom also suddenly became nervous.
Although, from the corpses of the Tulip Convoy, a lot of weapons that belonged to the Ardley Kingdom Army were found. However, everyone knows that it is extremely unlikely that it is Yardligan.
After all, where the tulips are gone, it is closer to Roxiting. Or, even if Yardley were to do it, he should do it at the mouth of the canyon.
But, they also know that this is impossible to convince each other. No one is stupid, and this incident can obviously only be concluded with blood.
