Chapter 044: (War Ignites)
In the Kugit Khanate, men have always been inferior to women, and a woman actually wants to be the lord of the city.
This challenged the traditional wisdom of the Kujits, and Saiga Khan refused, and then issued an order: let Ireli marry a Kugit lord, and her realm must be inherited by the Kujits!
When Ireli received the Khan's order from the Kugit messenger, she was furious, she was fed up with her father's coldness and the rudeness of her former Kugit husband, and the barbarians would only play with themselves as exclusive prostitutes and irresponsible.
However, once the Khan's orders were disobeyed, it meant a blatant rebellion. With less than 2,000 soldiers, how could they resist the Kugit army?
Ireli didn't seem to think so much, she tore up the Khan's handwritten letter in front of the messenger, and then pointed her sword at the already dumbfounded messenger, and shouted: "Tell Saiga that he is no longer my Khan, and I will only be called Ireli Lucius in the future!"
"You arrogant and foolish woman, if you dare to tear up the Khan's handwritten letter," the messenger summoned up the courage to warn her. "You will be punished in the most cruel way. ”
"Get out of my castle, or I'll have the soldiers cut out your tongue. "Ireli showed the impulses peculiar to a strong woman.
Some frightened messengers picked up the debris from the ground and fled out of the castle in disarray. These torn pieces are evidence, and he must bring them back to Saiga Khan, or he will be punished.
With the guts and bravery of a man, Ireli flatly rejected the Khan's request, which is why Hantus fell in love with the Queen of Snowridge. The Virgian mercenary knew what he would face soon, but he didn't regret it.
·
A few days later, the embarrassed messenger returned to the 'steppe star' [Tulga] and handed the evidence he had brought back to the Khan in front of him.
Saiga Khan was actually very unconcerned about the movements of Fort Lerag, and that barren place had no real meaning for his country. His letter was nothing more than a message to an arrogant woman: You should learn to obey and bow down!
But when Saiga Khan saw the torn confetti brought back by the messenger he sent, a burst of fire burst out of his chest!"This arrogant and stupid woman dares to disobey my orders. He uttered almost the same words as the Messenger had at the time.
The messenger bowed his head and said respectfully, "Khan, it is said that she is on good terms with a Virgian mercenary. ”
"Vigia mercenaries?" questioned Saiga Khan. "This lowly woman, does she think that my chief of Kugit is worthy of her widow?"
"She says you're no longer her Khan," the messenger added. She also said that you are not worthy of being her Khan at all, and called herself Queen Xueling. ”
Saiga Khan's brows furrowed suddenly, a little annoyed. "This lowly widow wants to be my equal," he said in a cold voice. "I'll make her pay for her stupidity. ”
Saiga Khan's prestige in the Kugit Khanate was extremely high. The proud khan would not allow anyone to challenge his authority, let alone a woman!
But at the moment most of his army is gathering at the 'Steppe Star' [Halma], and the Saiga Khan intends to take advantage of the Swadians' southern expedition to the Duchy of Rhodok to attack the Dehrim region. This was the perfect time for him to expand his territory.
·
Hantus and Ireli understood what the worst outcome of the betrayal of the Khan of the Kugit would be.
After the messenger departed, they gathered every lord in the barren mountain lands, armed them, and trained them to resist the iron-mounted lions of the Kugit that were about to roll in.
However, Hantus understood that this small border city could not withstand the overwhelming power of the Kugit Khanate.
Now, Hantus and Ireli understood why love was so precious—because, with the interference of many worldly forces, love was the most extravagant thing!
When Hantus and the 2,000 soldiers in the city were ready for everything, they never waited for the news of the Kugit crusade against the army!
The capital of the Kugit Khanate, [Tulga], is normal, and there is no sign of gathering troops or military action!
Hantus was a little confused. "Supposedly, if such a thing happens, the Kugit, who have always been cruel and murderous, will attack immediately, but now"
"Whatever they do," Ireli said to the man she loved. "Anyway, since we have time, let's have a wedding!"
In the early winter, the Château de la G, perched on a snowy ridge, hosts a shabby aristocratic wedding, with rude GIs and dirty farmers and hunters
But no matter what, love has finally come to fruition in a sense!
Perhaps, not yet!
Although there are no wedding dresses and ceremonies, you don't care about anything if you really love each other!
The night of the wedding was lively, with the people in the castle hall enjoying the sumptuous food and drinks prepared for them by the castle owner, and several amateur singers singing on the high stage.
Hantus on the high platform was drunk, and very drunk. It was the only time in years that he got drunk out of joy. He found the woman he loved and became her husband. Although he could not see the fate of the future.
After the dinner, Ireli helped her unconscious husband back to their new house. Then she laid him down to bed, and helped her husband take off his boots and coat like a wife, and covered him with a stuffed fur quilt, and at last she blew out the candlelight.
Hantus became the lord of the castle of Lerague, and he must be responsible for his beloved wife and the people of the castle.
Although the Kugit did not invade, it does not mean that they will not come.
The ancestors of the Castle of Larrag were vassals of the Kalad Empire, and now the Kalad Empire has become the Swadia Kingdom, but they are thousands of miles away, and no one knows whether they will do anything for this barren and remote mountain city enclave.
After discussing with his wife, Hantus decided to dedicate the [Castle of Lerag] to the Kingdom of Vegia, and he was willing to be the border lord of the Kingdom of Vegia and guard the [Fort of Lelag] for generations!
After agreeing on this, Hantus sent someone on a fast horse to deliver the news to the kingdom of Vegia. The messenger traveled day and night, and after seven days, he arrived at the capital of the Kingdom of Vegia, the city of Frost.
King Yarogark was pleased with the pie falling from the sky, after all, there was no king who did not like his territory to become larger, even if it was only a mountainous area known for its barrenness and coldness.
However, Yarogark understands that this bird place is disputed, in the early years it was a fief of the Karad Empire, and later the lord raised the city and surrendered to the Kujits, and then the lord's daughter was ready to dedicate the city to herself for love!
If it is taken, it will be a provocation to the Kujits, and it is likely to lead to a full-scale war between the two countries. Yarogark thought to himself. Now he has only been king for four or five years, and his father, Berlek, usurped power, and there are many opponents in the country.
Even if it were to be expanded militarily, the coastal areas of the Nords and the strategic location of the Swadians, the Dehrim Plateau, were more powerful than the bird land of Fort Lerag.
However, from another point of view, the other party took the initiative to lead the city to surrender, and he could pick up a big bargain for nothing, if he didn't seem a little too stupid, and moreover, it would reduce his prestige in the country - it seemed that he was afraid of the revenge of the Kujiits.
Yarogelk chose a compromise solution: accept Hantus's surrender, but instead of sending any reinforcements to help defend Fort Lerague, he just sent a convoy to give Hantus a large number of armor, bows, crossbows, sword weapons, and gold coins worth 100,000 dinars!
Yarogark's strategy was to nominally accept the surrender to save face, but not to send troops would at least not provoke the Kugits too much, greatly reducing the chances of triggering a full-scale war, and these aids would allow the locals to arm themselves against a possible Kugit attack.
At least, it wouldn't directly put the Virgian army in the face of the Kugit's saber bow!
Soon, the news reached the Kugit Khanate. Saiga Khan was angry, but he didn't want to go toe-to-toe with the Vigians at this time. His primary target remained the Dehrim region, a vast plateau that the Kugit most wanted land.
However, Saiga considered that if the lord surrendered to another country with the castle and did nothing himself, it would be a great shame and provocation for a khan.
As a result, the Khan Saiga of Kugit wrote a letter and ordered the chief of Bogugentar Asa to lead his tribe to defeat the rebels of Fort Lelag.
But the main army of the Khanate did not move. This meant that Chief Asa could only lead his headquarters of more than 5,000 troops and horses to attack Fort Lerag, and there were no reinforcements.
Saiga Khan also promised in his letter: if it is captured, it will be the fief of the Aesar chieftain!
