Chapter 99: Strategic Shift?

While Aaron was in a state of flux, Atai, who was now the head of the Honorary Knights, ran in panting and shouted, "Aaron, Anthony's army has attacked our villages all over the country and is now moving towards commercial hubs and several small towns!"

"Damn it, quick, send troops to intercept them at once. Aaron shouted angrily.

"But Aaron, our army is not enough to stop all the Salz. "Atay was no longer so impulsive than before, he had learned to think.

"Hell!" Aaron swept the books from the corner of his desk to the ground, sat down in his chair and closed his eyes.

Ivanova waved her hand to Arte, motioned for him to stand back for the time being, and slowly lay down on Aaron's strongly heaving chest, and said, "I know what Kingston means to you, Aaron!"

Aaron opened his eyes and looked at the stunner lying on top of him, listening to her insight.

"But have you thought about it, there is no preciousness of life, and what is the use of more Kingston to you?"

"What do you mean........." Aaron propped himself up, allowing him to sit up a little straighter.

"Now the empire is in turmoil, and the central government is struggling to deal with foreign wars and is unable to suppress rebellions in various places. As long as you and I are of the same heart, do we still need to worry about not finding a place to stay? When we grow stronger, Kingston will come back to us. What do you think?" said Ivanova.

"Got it!"

Indeed, most of the empire was now overtly and covertly separated from Louis rule, and the city-states were allied or attacked by each other, which was more chaotic than a pot of porridge. In this case, it is the most suitable time to fish in troubled waters, especially if there are people with a certain strength.

Heroes emerge in troubled times, and heroes create the times!

After consultations with the Committee, a number of people wished to remain in Kingston. When people are old, the water chestnut of ambition is smoothed out by reality. Aaron is not angry either, after all, not everyone is as scrappy as he is. In the end, except for seven or eight backbones such as Zabas, Ivanova, and Atay, who said to follow Aaron, the other members of the committee said that they would stay in Kingston. If Aaron had the opportunity to return to Kingston in the future, the old men said that they would welcome the return of the old master at that time.

Alun didn't bother to bother with these meaningless promises, and immediately set about packing up and fleeing the Salz region.

On the rugged mountain road, the outline of Kingston gradually becomes indistinct. A team of more than 30 horses walked slowly on the mountain road.

Zabas, dressed in leather armor and riding on a black horse, asked helplessly, "My lord, can you give it up?"

Aaron didn't squeak, but the determined gaze on his face had already written the answer on his face.

"Aaron, rest assured, we will always find a foothold. Ivanova looked at the city behind her, which was hidden by the mountains, and cheered.

"We were in a hurry, but now you can tell us where we should go next!" Aaron asked suddenly.

"Syria!"

"The east coast of Syria!"

"Syria!"

............

"Ah............ You ......"

"Haha, so we all thought of going together!My lord, what do you think?" Zabas let out the sullen breath in his heart, and his face unexpectedly showed the vigor of his youth.

"Okay! Aaron smiled for the first time in a long time, just because the team that had been sticking to his side had an unprecedented fighting spirit at this moment.

"Let's go, Syria, we're coming!" the enthusiastic Ivanova shouted, and the soldiers of the horse team were also demoralized, and the speed of progress couldn't help but speed up a little.

"But guys, you should tell me what kind of place this Syria is, and where is it?" Aaron suddenly threw a sentence, and at once the crowd almost fell off their horses.

Syria was a Mediterranean-like province in the northwestern part of the empire, but the land of the province did not completely enclose Syria, and the sea water poured into the central part of the province through a gap more than thirty miles wide on the mainland, dividing the province into two connected U-shaped continents.

Because of the problems left over from history, Aragon and Burundi have always had territorial disputes in Syria. Because of this, Burundi will cross the border from the snow-capped mountains and the west coast of Syria and invade Aragon as soon as the national power of Aragon is weakened to the point where it has no time to take care of itself.

Now the west coast of Syria has fallen into the hands of the orcs, who use it as a stronghold to constantly cross the ocean and invade the Syrian people. Instead of temporarily putting aside their hatred and uniting to resist the harassment and plundering of the orcs, the local city-states, large and small, fought a small fight every three days and a dozen dozen in five days.

At present, the latest situation on the mainland has undergone earth-shaking changes compared with before. Under the strong alliance of Slovenia and Aragon, the Empire of Light was defeated with the support of the Holy See. Half of the previous monkeys who were on the side of the Bright Empire dispersed at once, and some even risked the confrontation of the Holy See in the rain to join the eastern camp of the continent in a high-profile manner. However, Aragorn, whose power has been drastically reduced, is clearly not the choice of these betrayers, and they are basically at the mercy of Orpheus the Great, not Louis XXX.

The Eastern Alliance has advanced more than four hundred miles of land from the border from the beginning of the war to the present, and the balance of war seems to be tilting in their favor. Although Aragon was scavenging a lot of material wealth from the occupied lands, in the face of increasingly fierce wars and large armies, His Majesty Louis and his important ministers and senators were almost busy with supplies and internal and external warfare. For more than two years, Louis XXX had hardly slept a good night, and his whole person was much older, and he was no longer the personable and ruddy emperor of the past.

On the contrary, the Slovenians continued to grow their national power and expand their territory during the war. Compared to Aragon, the Slovenian Empire is like a rising star. Every Slovenian is working together to build the foundations of the empire and prepare for the Slovenian era.

Rumors of the Lord of War abandoning his followers have spread throughout the continent. Today, the people of Aragon are no longer resistant to the forces of evil, and in times of chaos, the power and gods to protect themselves are what they want.

While everyone was telling their baron about the current situation in Syria and on the mainland, suddenly a team swept out of the mountain pass, apparently one of the ambushes set up by Antony in the area. The number of opponents was not large, about forty or fifty knights, and Aaron naturally didn't pay attention to it. The others didn't have much nervousness when they saw it clearly, and their lord's strength was clearly displayed in front of them on the day Kingston was attacked.

It took a while, and under the initiative of three undead servants and more than a dozen soldiers, these ambush soldiers who originally thought they could make great achievements did not expect to be wiped out all at once. However, Anthony's move is not entirely out of the question. Although the strength of this ambush was not strong enough to stop the escape of Aaron and the others, before they were about to be completely wiped out by the other party, the captain of the ambush sounded the alarm, and a fire roared into the air and then exploded, and the team in ambush nearby rushed over when they saw this.

In this way, it took a lot of effort for Aaron and them to escape from the constant encirclement and outflanking. After running wildly for more than 20 miles to the northwest mountains, he gradually threw away the pursuers behind him, and then plunged headlong into the back of the mountain. Tall and strong cedar trees form a vast and dense primeval forest, forming a natural bunker.
