Chapter 027: Qi Strike
Then I asked Elija, "How do you know that our reinforcements are coming and not those of the Kugit? ”
Illya said like a cube of ice, "No why, a woman's intuition. ”
At that time, I wanted to say, "Is there a woman like you, who is as cold as an ice sculpture all the time?" But she didn't say it, because the joy she showed at that moment when she met hope in despair was too ...... Cute.
yes, because not only did she cheer, but she hugged me and kissed me.
I'm all Spartan!
The Kujits sounded the horn of retreat, and they withdrew like the waters of the ebbing tide from the ruins of Fort Dista. Even the catapult didn't have time to take it with him, and it fled. Not long after the Kugit were gone, another Kugit emerged from below the horizon. I was stunned, but Bestur seemed to see a loved one, and tears welled up in my eyes for a moment.
He climbed up the last remaining section of the castle wall and waved his blood-stained scarf in that direction, shouting, "Big brother!
Who is Bestur's big brother?
I was at a loss.
The Kugit army below the horizon slowly approached, and by the light of the fire still burning around Fort Dista, I saw that this group was no different from the Kugit army army, with a mix of riders and horses of different colors. Even some people are not worthy of bows and arrows.
But their advantage over the Kugit government forces is obvious, that is, they are numerous.
Too much!
At least 50,000 people were concentrated around Fort Distata, and others were emerging from below the horizon.
At the head was a knight who looked to be in his forties, with a brown stubble on his chin and blue eyes that seemed ready to breathe flames. The same money rat-tail pigtail hung all the way to the golden and distinctive traditional Kugit robes. He rode slowly to Bestur and smiled, "Bestur, my brother, I hope I'm not late. When I got the news that Nayan Tuoju and Nayan Hugu had come to attack you, I immediately gathered all the warriors of the Free Kugit and marched two hundred miles in a day and night to come to your aid. Here are only 50,000 vanguard troops of my free Kugit, and 200,000 main forces are being assembled one after another. Rest assured, brother, they have beaten your Distaburg, and we will go and shoot down their Echmoor tomorrow and give it to you!"
I suddenly recognized who this guy was, the number one resistance force in Kugit, the spiritual leader of the free Kujit, and the biological brother of Saiga Khan, Dastam Khan!
Fort Distata was originally the property of Nayan Hugu, this guy can only hunt except hunting, and he doesn't care about the things under his rule, and he doesn't even know that his wife was abducted by the housekeeper, so Bestur then attacked and occupied Fort Distal in one night, taking advantage of the fact that Nayan Hugu followed the Saiga Khan to conquer the Kingdom of Vekia.
But he didn't make a big deal of it, on the contrary, he hiberned in the castle of Dista, and in the past few years he had returned to his castle, at most the tax collector collected the tax every month. The tax collector who came had long been bribed by Bestul. This secret lasted for more than three years, and Yan Hugu was at a loss. He had always thought that Distaburg was in the hands of his butler.
After Bestur took over the actual control of Distafort, it not only formed the largest fur base in the Kugit steppe, but also developed several nearby iron mines, and for a time the goods were exported to home and abroad, and it was also well-known in the business world. Black Flag Kugit has gradually grown and developed with the help of these industrial profits.
During a routine mission, Bestul became acquainted with the leader of the Free Kugit, Dastam Khan, who was also an opponent of the Saiga Khan, and the two men fell in love with each other. Dastam Khan and Saiga Khan were the sons of the previous Gerak Khan, and Saiga Khan was ten years older than Dastam Khan. According to Kugit tradition, after the death of the old khan, the khanate was graded by the old khan's children, but the Saija Khan took advantage of the opportunity of the Dastam Khan's foreign expedition and occupied the entire Kugit khanate in one fell swoop.
Dastam Khan was furious and led his men to rebel against Kugit and formed the Free Kugit Organization to educate the people and consolidate their territory against Saiga Khan.
The purpose of the free Kugit is very close to that of the Black Flag Kujit, both of which advocate the establishment of a Kugit Khanate that retains the traditional national culture of the Kugit itself, and oppose blind learning from the four great powers. After a few nights of candlelight talks, the two leaders finally put their hearts in their hearts, and without saying a word, they bowed to their hands, and agreed that if either side was in trouble, the other party would give all their all their might. So there is today's scene.
The news of the change of ownership of Distaburg was finally known by Nayan Hugu, that day he led his men to ransack a village in the Kingdom of Vekia, and unexpectedly caught his butler, he was extremely surprised that his butler appeared in Vekia, thousands of miles away, and what surprised him even more was that he found that his wife was hiding in the butler's bed. He tortured the butler with more than twenty kinds of torture, and finally learned the news that shocked him that his fiefdom, Fort Dista, had long been occupied by the traitor Black Flag Kugit!
With less than 10,000 riders under his command, it was wishful thinking to reclaim his fiefdom from the brave and warlike Black Flag Kujit, so he found his father, Na Yan Tuoju, who was guarding the big city of Aichemor. Hearing this news, Nayan dragged up 20,000 horses, and more than 10,000 people from Nayan Hugu came to Distaburg.
Such a large-scale transfer of men and horses could not hide the eyes of Free Kugit, so there was this scene of galloping for hundreds of miles.
After listening to the synopsis of the matter, Besture sighed.
He said: "I almost misunderstood Mr. G, thinking that they were spies for Kujitt's gang of grandchildren. ”
I said, "It's nothing, you've already paid me for my mental loss." "I'm thinking about the two twin Kugit flowers.
Bestur was even more ashamed, he said: "I owe Mr. G today, Mr. G doesn't care about me a lot, but I'm not an unreasonable person, from now on I owe Mr. G a great favor, if in the future, Mr. G, you can use me, let me go up the mountain and down the sea of fire, I will not give up!"
I waved my hand modestly.
It was Dasham Khan, after hearing my nonsense identity, an unfathomable light flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Mr. G has such courage at a young age, it is really terrifying." ”
I immediately became vigilant and said nothing.
Dasham Khan continued: "My men have just told me that some time ago he had seen President G from afar in Djerkhala, and that he had a very pleasant conversation with King Griffos at that time. ”
I said, "It's nothing, we're just talking about attracting investment and opening up the market." ”
Dastam Khan laughed and said, "But my men can hear it clearly, and the old fellow Griffos has repeatedly told him that the letter must be delivered to the Saiga Khan himself." I don't know what kind of letter it is, but I want to go to the labor G to make a trip in person?"
This sentence was like a thunderclap on the ground, and it exploded heavily in my mind, and Besture on the other side shook his body, his eyes revealing incomparable shock and disbelief.
Later, I wondered what kind of intelligence network this Dastam Khan had, and how he could investigate the details of a person he had never met so clearly in such a short period of time. But at that time, I knew that it was useless to conceal it, and it was not easy to gamble on such a little trust from Bestur by almost risking my life, and it was really impossible to lose it again in these things that would have to be made public sooner or later.
I said, "Dastam Khan is really powerful, to tell you the truth, I came to the steppe this time, in addition to pursuing to contribute to the rich development of the steppe people, I also shouldered an important mission. I want to pass on King Graves' quest for peace to the Saiga Khan of Kujitte, and I want to stop the senseless war that Kujit and Rhodok have been waging for five years. ”
Dastam Khan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect me to hide this, and as if he didn't expect me to say it so generously.
Bestul's face turned red for a moment, and after a long time, he said, "Why?"
I said, "What, why?"
He said, "Why did Rhodok want a truce with Kujitte? Why did you come to sue for peace? Why did you hide it from me in the first place?" and he almost shouted at the end.
I thought to myself, anyway, I just won't hide. I took a shallow sip of Aalto's wine and said, "As a merchant, the perennial war between Rhodok and Kugit has seriously affected the production of wine, pig iron, and furs, and our trade routes from South Calradia to North Calradia, and even to Tianji Province and Morrowind Province have been greatly damaged, and we have not even gained anything. I came from Rhodok and along the way I saw too many burned villages and people hanging from trees. There are Rhodoks and there are Kugits, and it is not fair to let the common people be sacrificed just for the sake of some interests of the nobles! As I am personally...... If this is done, Calradia will soon be singing the name of my old G, man, who doesn't want to make a name for themselves?"
I saw Bestur's brow furrowed, and the look on his face was cloudy. I went on to say, "Of course, these are not the most important things, the most important thing is ...... Have you heard of the Dark Order?"
Bestur shook his head blankly, but Dastam Khan trembled as if he had been struck by lightning, and his eyes were full of disbelief: "How do you know about the Dark Order?"
I smiled helplessly and told them everything I had heard from the Count about the Dark Order's impending attack. After listening to me, neither Bestur nor Dastam Khan spoke.
I said, "What do you two say?"
Bestur hesitated: "Since the situation is as you said, Calradia is about to be destroyed, of course we can't ...... for our own selfishness."
Dastam Khan suddenly interrupted him: "It's useless!"
Dastam Khan sneered: " I know that guy Saiga better than any of you, if this letter is delivered to him, he will be overjoyed, and the next step must be to sign a peace treaty with Rhodok first, and then concentrate on uprooting our free kujit and black flag kujit in one fell swoop, once the rear is stable, he will not care about the destruction of Calradia, when Rhodok and they resist the dark order, this opportunistic and sinister guy will inevitably stab Rodok in the back, and the catastrophe suffered by the world will be far more serious than now。 ”
I was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Dastam Khan pondered for a moment and said, " The current Kujit, it's not Saiga alone who has the final say, at least, our two forces of Free Kugit and Black Flag Kujit are combined, enough to be equal to that old thing in Saiga, you go back and tell Graves, I, the Dastam Khan of Free Kugit and the Bestur Leader of Black Flag Kugit have decided to accept his demands on behalf of Kugit, in the area under our actual control, we will not have any conflict with Rhodok, if Saiga has a move to attack Rhodok, we will resist him. But we have one condition, Rhodok must provide us with 500,000 dinars every month for military expenses, and we will use these 500,000 to arm the Free Kujit and the Black Flag Kujit, and when the power grows, we will overthrow Saiga's rule in Kugit in one fell swoop, and then the heroic Kugit warriors will join him in the sacred struggle against the Dark Order. And after the war, he signed a permanent non-aggression pact with Rhodok and returned peace to the border. Just say that to King Griffos. ”
Besture nodded and said, "That's right, you just replied to Griffos, this is what we mean by Black Flag Kugit and Free Kugit. ”
I said, "Then I don't need to go to Saiga Khan?"
"That's right," Besture said. ”
I said, "Then you can write me a personal letter, and King Griffos, who has no evidence, may not believe me." ”
Besture nodded and said, "Big brother, you can write it." It's up to you. ”
Dastam Khan hurriedly said: "Brother, you should write it, the person who wrote this letter will inevitably leave a strong mark in the history of my Kugit nation, isn't it famous for the manhood, I'm old, I've seen enough, you're still young." ”
Bestur said: "Big brother, it's better for you to write, the brother's qualifications are too shallow, and his prestige is not enough to convince the public." ”
Dastam Khan said: "Brother, you don't have to shirk, the back waves of the Polak River push the front waves, old brother, I will be the one who will retire sooner or later, after all, you are a rising star, and it is also the wisest choice for you to write this letter." ”
I said, "Okay, you two can write the same thing." ”
Bestul's face was flushed at this time, and he said in embarrassment: "But...... I can't read......"
Illiterate......
Literate......
Word......
