Chapter 488: Decision
"The Chifeng tribe has been attached, as the lord tribe, I am the barbarian tribe and have the responsibility to protect them!"
"If you don't come to the rescue, the Chifeng Department will be destroyed, and no one will survive!"
"Aslen, don't hesitate!"
Half slope of the North Mountain. A detachment of centaurs hides in the jungle. There are not many people, only thousands, but all of them are sturdy barbarian warriors, driving one heterogeneous giant mastiff after another, and they are extremely fierce.
The first man, with chestnut hair and beard, rode a snow-white mastiff under him, looking particularly powerful. His name is Asleng, and he is currently the monarch of the barbarian tribe, and he also has two identities, Eliman's nephew, and Fang Xiaobao's former barbarian guard.
"I want to fight too, but the owner ...... it"
Asleng hesitated. He had already received instructions from Xinghai to endure as much as he could, and try to avoid head-on conflict with the Gu Clan. The Naiban tribe was able to develop from a small tribe in the north to a huge force today, all thanks to their own owners. Therefore, he could not disobey the instructions of Xinghai.
But!
Looking away, the shouts of killing under the mountain were like thunder. The Gu cavalry was overwhelmed, rushed into the camp of the Chifeng Division, and was slaughtering. Regardless of the target, children, women and children were all targeted, and the scene was tragic and indescribable.
Aslen clenched his fists. Nails sink deep into the flesh. He was furious, but he never made a decision.
Until!
An extremely arrogant shout came from afar.
"Barbarians are untouchables who are inferior to pigs and dogs...... Treat them with only one word, kill! ”
"Kill all the barbarian pigs and dogs, flatten the Chifeng Department, and leave no chickens and dogs!"
A guy who seemed to be in command shouted with a knife. He was a warrior, and his voice was blessed by Xuan Qi and spread far away. When his subordinates heard this, they were like chickens, screaming and scolding wantonly, and brutally slaughtering at the same time.
Can't hold back any longer!
I can't bear it, I don't need to endure it anymore!
"The warriors of the barbarian tribe, show me the snow lion flag, rush-"
At this moment, Asleng finally made a decision. Even if the owner blames, he will help the Chifeng brothers and defeat the enemy.
A big flag was raised. The flag is displayed, a snow-white giant mastiff pattern embroidery, domineering and mighty, and the horse is extraordinary.
"Kill!"
Accompanied by a thunderous roar. Thousands of giant mastiffs carried their masters and rushed down the hillside to pounce on the Gu cavalry camp and launch the most fierce attack......
…………………………
"Is it a barbarian? Snow Lion Flag? ”
"Just a thousand people, they actually killed the elite cavalry of my Gu clan of 10,000 people...... Can any of you tell me where this barbarian came from? ”
Basilica. Gu Lie was wearing a crown robe, his face was gloomy and ugly, and he directly threw the report from the northern leader in front of the ministers below. Hundreds of civil and military officials, princes and important ministers, all looked at each other, and the atmosphere did not dare to be revealed.
A military attache stood up. This person's name is Lu Feng, who is in charge of the Ministry of War, and is an old minister of the former dynasty, because of his rigorous actions and hard-line style, he is valued by His Majesty today, and remains in the post of Minister of War.
"Your Majesty, after a detailed investigation by the Ministry of War, this barbarian department was originally a small tribe in the northern territory, and after the fall of the night wolf, after a few years of development, its power has grown dramatically!"
Lu Feng's face was solemn, "Now it is a barbarian department, the soldiers are strong, the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, there are nearly a hundred barbarian tribes under his command, and he controls millions of people, and his strength should not be underestimated!" ”
"A million barbarians! The soldiers are strong! ”
Gu Lie sneered again and again: "The barbarians have such a strange movement, and you have not noticed it until now...... Is it a dereliction of duty? Or is it an afterthought? ”
"Your Majesty forgives your sins!"
Lu Feng knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Since the Northern Territory was recovered, both the minister's military department and the Spiegel Division have sent a wide range of secret agents...... However, this is because the barbarians are too low-key, and the tribal camps are inhabited, and it is difficult to find traces...... If it weren't for this incident, it would be difficult for the ministers and other subordinates to deliberately investigate in a targeted manner! ”
After hearing this, Gu Lie pondered for a moment, and asked slowly: "Lu Qing, now that the intelligence of the Barbarian Department has been collected, you are analyzing it...... How did they grow from a small tribe to their current size in just a few years? ”
"Two possibilities!"
Lu Feng said in a deep voice: "First, they are the remnants of the night wolf, and they have obtained the legacy resources of the night wolf, so they are proud of their rapid development...... However, after careful investigation by the minister, when the Night Wolf Kingdom was destroyed, all personnel and materials were emptied, so this possibility is extremely unlikely! ”
Gu Lie nodded after hearing this.
"Second!"
Lu Feng said again: "There are big forces that secretly support the Nabarian Ministry, give all kinds of resources, deliberately cultivate the Nabarian Ministry, and strengthen the power...... Its purpose is nothing more than to be hostile to the imperial dynasty, to bury a chess piece in the northern territory, and to make a move in the future! ”
The tone paused. This looked at Gu Lie, who was sitting on the throne, and said in a deep voice: "This possibility is extremely high! ”
"Hostile to the Imperial Dynasty?"
"Great power? There can be a big force that can compete with our ancient dynasty, except for the Western Sass Empire, there is no other! ”
"Could it be that the Western hairs are secretly doing evil?"
The courtiers were full of discussions. Gu Lie's face was extremely ugly, and he secretly knew in his heart that this great force was very likely to be......
"It can't be, it can't be him!"
Gu Lie didn't want to admit it in his heart. But the facts are in front of him, and he can't help but believe it.
"There can be a big force that can compete with my Gu clan, in addition to the Western Saas Empire, there is also the Sea of Stars!"
Lu Feng said in a deep voice: "The Western Sass Empire is far away from the ocean, and it is difficult for the tentacles of influence to extend to the Western Territory, so the big force behind the support of the Northern Territory is the barbarian tribe, and it is very likely to be Xinghai!" ”
This is the conclusion he deduced.
In the hall, the two elders of the Gu clan also informed the inner court of the information through transmission.
"Your Majesty, after many investigations, the hidden guards of the inner court have determined that it is the Xinghai side, secretly supporting the barbarian department!"
"They are unkind, don't blame me for the injustice of the Gu clan!"
"Your Majesty, for the sake of my Gu Clan...... It's time to decide! ”
The inner court finalized that the big force behind the support of the barbarian department was Xinghai. After Gu Lie heard this, his face turned blue and white for a while, which was very ugly.
"Xiaobao, I treat you like a brother, why do you want to ...... Betray me? ”
"In that case, don't blame me...... Don't talk about brotherhood! ”
At this moment, Gu Lie finally made a decision. He got up slowly, and loudly announced that the matter of the Northern Territory was a barbarian department, and the courtiers were not allowed to discuss it again, as if it had never happened. However, when he approached the inner hall and met the two elders of the Gu clan. With a gloomy expression, he slowly said a word.
"Let's get started!"
After hearing this, the second elder Xuanji couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. They have been planning for this day for an unknown number of years, and they have made sufficient preparations in advance, just waiting for the helmsman of the Gu clan to give orders.
"Capture the high-level of Xinghai first, and the rest of the people ...... It should be easy for my inner court to join forces with the God of War Temple! Guji suggested.
Gu Lie nodded. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, "Ten days later, I will invite him and the high-ranking members of Xinghai to the palace for a banquet in the name of canonizing the crown prince...... When the time comes, what to do, the two emperors and ancestors will make their own decisions! ”
"Yes!"
