Gartnu III sat in the tent, a large chair covered in tiger skin hugging his huge body.

Next to the tiger skin chair, stands the wizard.

Gartnu III sat lazily in his chair, his black armor draped in absent-mindedness, exhausted by days of marching and fighting.

It is clear that Gartnu has inherited the physiognomy of his ancestors, with a pair of green eyes in his sunken eye sockets and a large nose on his bearded face.

The wizard next to him lowered his eyelids and stole a glance at Gartnu's face.

Gartnu III suddenly spoke: "Wizard, it stands to reason that you deserve to die for your sin, but I will spare your life because of your old relationship with my father, do you understand?"

The wizard bowed his head and leaned to his ear: "Yes, General Gartnu, the villain understands in his heart that General Xie has the grace of not killing!"

Garthnu III moved his eyelids, a large nose sniffed, and green eyes glanced into the wizard's eyes.

"I asked the king to attack the territory of the Celestial Empire in the name of deterring the Quartet, and this expedition to the Western Regions is to take revenge. According to what you said, my father was killed in Yuxu Mountain in the Central Plains, and you were the only one who escaped and returned to Capricorn to report the truth to me, so I will not kill you in the old love, and besides, only you know that cave. This time, we attacked all the way, not only to give the Central Plains a dismount, but I also wanted to fight all the way to Yuxu Mountain and find the book of heaven, so as to unravel the curse that had plagued my Gartnu family for many years. ”

The wizard smiled sinisterly: "The general is smart, no wonder you crusade all the way, and you don't garrison the city, just to give the other party a dismount." ”

Gartnu smiled: "The number of our soldiers is not advantageous in the first place, if we still disperse our troops to garrison, wouldn't we suffer a big loss." Like a pack of lone wolves, we can concentrate our forces on the enemy, but if we scatter them, we may suffer a big loss. ”

The wizard continued to compliment Gartnu: "Yes, that's exactly what the general said. The soldiers are not tired of deceit, our purpose is not to occupy the Western Regions, but only to attack the strength of the Celestial Empire and deter them. Besides, we still need to get the book of heaven, which I guess is still in the hermit's possession, and maybe it's hidden in the cave. ”

Gartanu glared at the wizard, "Are you sure the Book of Heaven is still there, really?"

The wizard snorted and said, "I am sure that this is the case, that hermit has been living there in seclusion all this time to protect the Heavenly Book, and maybe he hasn't left until now. ”

Gartnu shrugged his nose: "Hmph, I hope it is as you say, otherwise I won't be able to spare you." ”

The wizard winced: "Yes, General, I dare not lie to you, but there are some situations that we may not know. ”

When Gartnut heard this, he suddenly raised his head: "We don't know what the situation is, but you can talk about it!"

The wizard hurriedly leaned down and said, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that after so long, we are far away from the Central Plains, if there is any change in the middle, we really can't expect it, but the possibility that the Book of Heaven is hidden there is still very large." ”

Gartnu III pondered for a moment: "No matter what, we will go and find it." And we have to hurry up as soon as possible, our soldiers are not strong in combat during the day, but at night, we can rely on Canon to defeat each other, so the opportunities left for us are also very limited. ”

After saying that, Gartnu clenched the spear in his hand and shook it, this spear was obtained by Gartnu's grandfather when he lifted the seal from the temple, and the heir of the Gartnu family used this spear to summon the evil spirit Canon.

In order to lift the curse of Canon, the father of Gartnu III came to the Central Plains to look for the Book of Heaven, and was killed by the White Snake next to the cave of the hermit of Yuxu Mountain, and only the wizard and the two injured samurai escaped.

Along the way, the wizards and samurai sold the Dragon's Blood Stone Necklace and the Qiankun Sword, and they took the money and fled separately.

The wizard got the money and wandered around the Central Plains for months, feeling that there was nowhere to hide. He thought that once the news of General Gartnu's death reached the ears of Gartnu III, he would think that the sorcerer and others had failed to protect the general and failed to fulfill their responsibilities, and would definitely send men to hunt them down.

Simply he didn't sue the vicious dog first, and simply returned to Capricorn to make up some excuses to tell Gartanu III how General Gartenu was killed by the powerful demon snake, and everyone else except himself lost his life in order to protect the general, and he just escaped by luck.

Moreover, he can also claim that the Book of Heaven is still in the hands of the hermit, leaving some hope for Gartnu III, and he can even personally lead the way to find the Book of Heaven when the time comes.

As long as the Book of Heaven cannot be found, the curse of the Gartnu family cannot be lifted, so the wizard who is familiar with the Heavenly Book can survive as an insider.

Along the way, the wizard came up with an excuse to return to Capricorn and reported everything to Gartnu III.

Gartnu III was very sad, and the old General Gartnu choked his breath from grief.

Gartnu III vowed to avenge his father, so as to find the book of heaven to lift the curse of the family, so he asked the king for his life, saying that the Central Plains is rich and vast, but has always threatened the sphere of influence of the Capricorn Kingdom, and hereby invites troops to attack the Western Regions and make an example of each other, so as to demonstrate the majesty of the Capricorn Kingdom.

When the king saw that Gartnu had sworn and felt that it was profitable, he ordered Gartnu III to lead a large army to attack the Central Plains, and along the way he might plunder countless gold and silver treasures, enough for the princes and nobles of Capricorn to enjoy for many years.

Therefore, after receiving the order, Gartnu III led a large army south to attack the Western Regions, plundering countless times along the way, many soldiers were thus filled with their own pockets, and a lot of property was sent back to Capricorn by Gartnu III, so the king actually agreed to Gartnu III to continue to wave his troops south, until he gained a lot and decided to return to the day of victory.

Gartnu III relied on the strength of Canon to conquer everything and be invincible, and his ambition was getting bigger and bigger, planning to kill all the way to Yuxu Mountain and find the Book of Heaven.

That way, he could break the curse and even rely on the power of the Book of Heaven to control Canon, which would kill two birds with one stone.

But after finding the Book of Heaven, will he be able to break the curse? Gartnut III actually has no bottom in his heart, but as long as he finds it, he believes that there will always be a way.

In any case, this book of heaven is a lifesaver for Gartnu III, and he will do whatever it takes to get his hands on it.

As a result, Gartnu III marched south, killing all the way, and the corpses were strewn all over the field, and the people were struggling to survive.

But he couldn't care about this, just burning, killing and looting, ostensibly to show the prestige of Gartnu and the Capricorn Kingdom, so as to deter the Quartet, and then fight all the way to Yuxu Mountain, so as to find the cave where the books were hidden, and end his lifelong wish.

As for the consequences, he didn't think about it at all, even if the king didn't order him to lead troops to attack the Western Regions, then sooner or later, when the Capricorn country could not satisfy its appetite for the surrounding small countries, the king would still covet the rich Central Plains.

It's like this in the morning and evening, it's better to be a day late than a day earlier, and take advantage of your youth to take the initiative to attack.
