Chapter 108: Reservations
At dusk, the orange fireball fell into the embrace of the grassland, the snow had already fallen outside, the snow reflected in the glittering sunset, and the giant eagle swept over the seemingly endless white landscape, and finally flapped its wings sharply and leaped over the rolling mountains.
On the other side of the mountain, the alien peoples moved the fortress - in the clouds, it is said to be a fortress, but in fact it is a collection of countless tents, in the distance, a large number of herds of cattle and sheep rummaging in the snow for vegetation, this year the snow covering the earth came very early, the cattle and sheep are far from accumulating enough fat to survive the winter.
Jiang Yuan sits on the back of an eagle overlooking the ground, occasionally closing his eyes to rest, and the snow reflects the sun's rays and easily damages his eyes, which is commonly known as snow blindness.
This was the third day of the investigation, and through the disguise of sneaking in, he already had a basic understanding of the internal structure of the alien peoples in the Northland.
Headed by the royal court, supplemented by the left and right courts, many tribes live in the vast grassland in the form of nomadism, and the clan king Seka is over sixty years old this year, judging from the average life expectancy of other peoples, the other party has already entered old age.
At this time, the most prestigious was the Left Bone Marquis Xubu, who, with the influence of the cold wave, forcibly fused the royal court with the left and right courts, trying to become a leader like the emperor.
This trip south was not the usual consumption of population and plundering of money and grain, and the real purpose of Subu was to capture the four counties of the fortress and completely occupy a part of the cultivated land.
The mobile fortress cloud belongs to Subu, and now it is approaching the fortress county as a whole, and if he can win this time, no one will be able to stop him from walking to the throne.
But Jiang Yuan was not interested in Xu Bu, firstly, according to the original timeline, Estes had a high probability of completing the winter hunt, and secondly, even if he won him, it would not be of much benefit, at least it did not meet expectations.
The mobile fortress was still more than a thousand miles away from the imperial border, and normally the daily speed of the cavalry was about one hundred and sixty miles.
That is, he still has some time.
The giant eagle continued to fly, and according to the information he received from Estes, Jiang Yuan went straight to the royal court and Daijun.
……
A day later, the only stone city on the steppe appeared in front of me, and the scene here was already somewhat similar to that of an imperial county town, and in the distance, you could occasionally see the scattered cultivated land outside the city.
Jiang Yuan secretly released the earth dragon nearby.
At night, the giant eagle landed in front of the king's palace, and the dust continued to drift in all directions, and the sound alarmed the palace guards, and soon hundreds of people surrounded the comingers.
At the head was a stout man with a beard, who held a great sword and had a good countenance, and asked:
"Uninvited, slash!"
Hundreds of guards suddenly stepped forward with guns, the eagle puppet spat out the wind blade, three blue lights cracked away, tearing more than thirty armored soldiers into pieces, at the critical moment, the strong man rushed forward, the giant sword slashed non-stop, the sword wind swayed wantonly, and easily stopped the wind blade that was halved in power.
"The Imperial Baron, Nol Tius, wants to see the king."
"Just tell me about it."
On the high wall of the palace, a handsome black-haired young man sits with a gun, wearing the emblematic forehead protection of a foreign royal family, and exuding a fierce aura all over his body.
The second general in attendance, Numa Seka, the most beloved prince of the foreign nation.
"There are 300,000 elite cavalry under the command of Subu, but since ancient times, it takes five to ten times the strength to attack the city, and in the face of four heroic cities and 150,000 border troops, he is not qualified to be born in the grassland and lacks siege experience, and you are the same." Jiang Yuan shook his head, "I'm here to see the clan king." ”
The strong man and Numa change color at the same time.
After a while, Numa said: "After traveling, I know most of the emperors of the empire, so put your dead march in place, don't be clever. ”
"Yes." Jiang Yuan summoned the blonde boy with a long knife in his hand, and then said, "If there is any change, the giant eagle will take it away, don't do useless work." ”
Numa jumped off the palace wall and took the baron to the palace with him, and with the other party's physique, there was no threat after removing the imperial equipment.
After the two left, there was a guard who looked at the long knife and his eyes were hot, and almost everyone knew about the imperial equipment, so he couldn't help but speak:
"Chief, we ......"
When the strong man heard the sound, he slashed it with a sword, and these fools didn't know how big the matter was.
"Stand by now, I'll just say one last time!"
The palace of the clan king is located in the center of the entire Dai County, and after pushing open the stone gate, it is very dark inside, only two rows of oil lamps are lonely and fluttering, and it is almost rudimentary.
On the stone seat, an old man covered his legs with a leather jacket, looking without the majesty of a king, he was too old, his face was full of wrinkles, and the cold environment in the hall was not suitable for this aging body.
Four fully armored warriors walked out on both sides of the main hall, and each of them was not inferior to the strong man just now.
"Father." Numa bowed.
"Come to me." The clan king coughed violently twice.
When Numa came to the throne, the king moved to the side, and the two of them sat down.
"Young man, what is the matter?"
"At most, in January, I will bring someone to pick up the head of His Excellency the King of the Clan, and I hope that the two of you will help me open the city gate at that time."
Hearing this, the four fully armored warriors drew their long swords, and their killing intent became extremely strong in an instant.
The clan king gently pressed Numa, who was about to burst out, and with a smile on his face, he said hoarsely, "Then try to convince me." ”
"I have been to your city, and a sheepskin can only be exchanged for three barley cakes, and I have seen your cattle and sheep, which can hardly even survive the winter, and it is not normal for Subu to be famous and powerful, and to drive 300,000 elite horsemen, but to accommodate a beloved prince, both of whom are alive.
From the sky, the mobile fortress Yunzhong is approaching the imperial border, including livestock, grain, women and children, which reminds me of one thing, the army will burst out with extremely strong combat effectiveness under the retreat of the river, and the cloud is the river behind the cavalry, you have pressed too many chips.
The most important thing is that behind the cavalry is in the clouds, and behind the clouds is you, and in the case of the imminent start of the war, Subu shows such a strange trust, which has to make me think about it more.
Four heroic cities, 150,000 border troops, if you want to break through, you can only rely on internal flaws to surprise, but once you are prepared, Norfolk has a thousand years of prestige with a crimson aria in hand, and will not give you a chance. ”
"To put it simply, I'm too old for the dead wood to understand the bird's song." The clan king no longer smiled.
"There is a problem in Norfolk's family, and Subu intends to cooperate with the outside world, you acquiesce to this, because the nation is weakening, and under the premise that the weather is getting colder and colder, the result may be destruction, I am only the baron of the empire, the high-level already knows about it, Subu is doomed to failure, and the foreign nation needs a new leader at that time, he must be young and strategic, strong and sympathetic to the people, but you are too much of a hindrance, the king, aging has made you lose the trust of the people, so when the day comes, please give me the head, The prince would not have liked the script of homicide. ”
Jiang Yuan is rare and sincere, if the other party does not cooperate, it will be extremely difficult to break through Daijun, and the supply lines and bad weather do not support the expedition of the army.
"Rotten wood decays on its own." The clan king refused, and one day, he would kill himself.
"But before decay, rotten wood can also burn, the front line is defeated, the clan king is dead, the existential crisis will be unprecedented, and the one who turns the tide will be in the spotlight, I will kill you to achieve miraculous feats, and the prince will kill me again to ascend the throne and unite all forces, as for whether he can do it, you should have confidence."
Jiang Yuan planned to chase after Earnest, and the head of the clan king was the steps.
"It's better for us to form an alliance and join forces to capture the fortress county."
"No, you are too wasted of time to adjust compared to the empire that is not suitable for breeding populations."
"I don't understand, but you want to book my head with one mouth, right?"
"That's right."
"I agree, but you have to survive first."
After the clan king finished speaking, the four full armor battles suddenly moved forward.
Jiang Yuan stomped his feet slightly, the floor collapsed, and the whole person fell into the tunnel dug by the earth dragon and kept sliding.
At the same time, outside the hall, the blonde boy's feet cracked, and the eagle puppet flapped its wings and soared into the air.
The clan king was silent for a long time, and then he held Numa's hand tightly and said, "If he kills me, don't obstruct it, you kill him at any cost!" ”
"I see." Numa felt exhausted to the point of no return.
