PS: (I wanted to send these two chapters as a side story related to the work, but after thinking about it, the content of these two chapters will pull the subsequent plot and be related to Chapter 57 "The Burning Ice City", so I gave them the positions of chapters 55 and 56.) Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info readers don't think that the author is off topic when they see these two chapters, because this branch line is very important, and the foreshadowing buried will affect the plot direction of the whole book, and I decided to post it on the text after careful consideration. ）

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Cain felt thirsty in his throat, and he leaned over to pick up the jug that was tied to the horse's belly, raised his head and took a few sips, and then tied the jug back to the horse's belly.

The day's running had made his otherwise handsome face slightly haggard, and he looked back at the large army behind him, and a flash of hatred suddenly flashed in his eyes.

The night was not silent in the wilderness, the ethereal chirping of insects was incessant, and the tens of thousands of defeated soldiers who had fled with Cain had tried their best to maintain their formation, but most of them looked tired and looked vain, shrugging their bodies and forcing themselves to move forward like the walking dead.

There were even many slaves who had escaped from Karl City around the Ringing Horse Army, and they knew that there was a cavalry team of light troops in the rear that was chasing them, and all the escaped slaves told themselves in their hearts that they must not be left alone.

Cain also set up several ambushes for the cavalry of the Light Army in the rear, but each time it was discovered and defused by the enemy, Cain was obviously afraid of the slimy cavalry, so he constantly sent scouts to find out the distance of the enemy.

The latest distance available was less than five hundred meters, and it was clear that the cavalry team that followed them had an unknown mission, and Cain had already guessed roughly where the cavalry would end up fighting them.

Although Cain lost the battle, his eyes always revealed fortitude, and if the Grim Reaper wanted to get close to him, he would not hesitate to drive him away.

I think that when Cook Khan asked Cain to be his male favorite, Cain's answer to him was this resolute look of resistance.

Although the Heavenly Khan later ordered the annihilation of the Borjan tribe, so that Cain broke his arm to survive, migrated the entire tribe from the steppe to the Black Land, and later crossed the Li River to occupy a mountain, a nomadic tribe in Haoduan became a nomadic tribe that moved to a foreign land.

But Cain did not regret it, if he really became the male favorite of the Heavenly Khan, then he was actually no different from dead.

As for why Tian Khan did not hesitate to offend a tribe and make Cain his male favorite?

It all started many years ago, Cain was the only son of the Khan of the Borjan tribe, and unlike most Turks, Cain's skin was not rough, but so delicate that it was like a jade grease that made people want to pinch it. His skeleton wasn't as big as the other tribesmen, and his body was so perfect that even a woman would feel jealous.

He has been handsome since he was a child, and when he grows up, he is even more amazing, and people in the tribe even call him the most beautiful man in the mainland.

In adolescence, he has long eyebrows raised upward, slightly curled eyelashes shrouded in a pair of clear black eyes, a straight nose bridge and pink lips like peach petals, which can't help but make people doubt his gender.

Unfortunately, Cook Khan was successfully bent by him......

In the year Cain was just twenty years old, the Heavenly Khan conscripted the Khans of all tribes to participate in the hunting convention, and asked Cain, the son of the Khan of the Borjan tribe, to also participate in the hunting meeting.

Cain's father had long heard that the Khan had those quirks, and in order to protect his unbelievable son, he had to shirk the Khan's request for various reasons.

Tian Khan, who could not see the beautiful man, would definitely not give up, so he ordered the Borjan tribe to sacrifice Cain, otherwise he would order the rest of the tribe to attack the Borjan tribe.

Cain's father had no choice but to swallow his anger and beg to see the Heavenly Khan, hoping that he would spare his son and the tribe, and the Heavenly Khan, who was bent on holding the 'beauty', simply hacked Cain's father to death, and then ordered the tribes to conquer the Borjan tribe.

Knowing that his khan had been hacked to death and that the rest of the tribes were gathering troops to fight, the 100,000 people of the Borjan tribe simply took a heart and planned to break the net and tell the invaders that Borjan was not easy to mess with!

However, after weighing the pros and cons, the tribal elders decided to temporarily avoid the front and let the tribe migrate eastward to escape the influence of the Heavenly Khan.

According to ancestral rules, major decisions related to the survival of the tribe had to be finalized by the Khan, and Cain's father was hacked to death by the Khan of the Heavens, so Cain was rightfully elected as the Khan of the tribe.

Although the Heavenly Khan ordered the conquest of the Borjan tribe in order to obtain Cain, everyone knew that the rest of the tribes had long been eyeing the Borjan tribe, and the Heavenly Khan's conquest order was just a cover. While it was a fact that he wanted Cain, the suppression of the growing Borjan tribe was one of the reasons he ordered the conquest.

Therefore, the tribesmen of the Borjan tribe did not resent their new khan, because they all knew that the real reason for the tribe to be conquered was because the tribe had threatened the dominance of the heavenly khan.

-

Eventually, before the conquest arrived, the Borjan tribe moved eastward, and it took them a week to reach the Black Land. At that time, Patch wanted to use this tribe to contain the Cook Iron Horse, so he carved a piece of land at the junction of Cook and the Blacklands, allowing the Borjan tribe to take root there.

Patch even wants to help the Borjan tribe upgrade to a state, with a population of only 100,000 and a land area of less than 300,000 square meters, but it can serve as a buffer zone in the event of a war between the Blacklands and Cook.

It is said that a woman who is beautiful and has long hair is a brainless vase, but it is clear that this sentence cannot be applied to a beautiful man.

Not only did Cain possess the beauty of a beautiful woman, but he also possessed a majestic strategy that rivaled the hero, and as for Patch's desire to use the Borjan tribe to fight a proxy war, Cain would certainly not let him succeed.

Ignoring Pacch's threat, Cain led his tribe across the Li River and stationed in the mountains on the west bank, a disputed and sensitive land over which both Nolan and Blackland claimed to have dominion, and the two countries fought for years in order to compete for the abundant land resources in the mountains. On average, tens of thousands of battles are fought each year, which also leads to the fact that the mountains always change hands, and there are many vacuums that the two countries cannot reach.

The long-term conquest naturally makes the people miserable, and those who can't survive will think of going up the mountains and falling into the grass, so there are many bandit dens in the continuous mountains, and Nolan and the Black Land are inseparable, so naturally they don't have time to pay attention to the bandits hiding in the mountains.

Over time, these bandit dens formed a force to be reckoned with, surviving in the cracks between the two armies, and over time growing into an armed force comparable to the regular army, although Nolan and Blackland called them the Ringing Horse Army, they had another resounding name, and that was the Sirius Alliance.

Cain led the tribe to migrate to the mountains two years ago, and in the face of such a large and sudden army, the Sirius Alliance not only did not panic, but helped the Borjan tribe to take root in the mountains. The Alliance Leader even opened his mind to give Cain the position of Great Elder, and Cain sitting in that position meant that his position in the Sirius Alliance was second only to the Alliance Leader.

Two years was enough time for the Borjan tribe to adapt to life in the rolling mountains, and they proved to be even more fierce than they had been in the steppes. Because the most ferocious animals encountered in the grasslands are nothing more than wolves, and in the continuous mountains, every day they encounter fierce beasts such as tigers and black bears, and from time to time they have to fight against the army that goes up to the mountains to suppress bandits.

As a result, the increasingly fierce Borjanians repeatedly made contributions to the Alliance, so the old leader chose to abdicate and hand over the responsibility of leading the Sirius Alliance to Cain.

Maybe it's because the sweet words of the Nolan royal family are too tempting, or maybe Cain wants to take the opportunity to defeat the Nolan Light Army who advocates the suppression of bandits.

So when the Nolan royal family conspired with the Sirius Alliance to kill Bais, Cain, the leader of the alliance, did not hesitate to make a blood oath.

He knew very well that as long as the Sirius Alliance could kill Bais, they would get more than just a mountain of wealth, and once they could kill Bais, the generalissimo of the Light Army who advocated the suppression of bandits, then the Sirius Alliance would have a chance to survive in the world.

So last night, Cain commanded 30,000 soldiers from eighteen hills in the alliance and took advantage of the darkness to wave his army down the mountain towards the city of Karl.

When the Nolan spies opened the gates, Cain was happy to think that the mission was half accomplished, but when 30,000 troops burst into the city, the Nolan army suddenly rushed out of ambush on the rooftops and lanes, and caught them by surprise.

Seeing that the troops were about to be caught in the urn, Cain decisively ordered to abandon the mission and lead the army to break out of the encirclement, but only tens of thousands of people broke out of the encirclement with him, and the remaining 20,000 people died tragically under the butcher's knife of the Nolan army.

And their breakthrough force also had a rough fate, since last night there was a cavalry team of more than a thousand men following in the rear, Cain had already roughly guessed why that cavalry team had not attacked.

The thought that the reason for the current situation was the Nolan royal family, the anger in Cain's eyes became even more intense.

"The Fili family! Sooner or later, I'll have to settle accounts with you!! ”
