1630 Black and White Killing (7)
With the scent of vineyards in the mountains outside the city, the horseshoe stepped into the outskirts of the city outside the city of Chromdo, outside which were the large estates of the winegrowers, and behind these estates was a city made of bridges and rocks, full of grandeur and magnificence, and the whole city was surrounded by a large lake in the mountains, the blue of the lake reflected the surrounding mountains, and from the halfway point of the lake was located, the buildings were stacked on top of each other, and slowly rose along a spiral corridor, which was both the staircase and the main road of the city.
The roof and the platform are cleverly connected together to form a series of small squares, and the corridor rope bridges that extend between the squares and the squares are connected into a single whole, which looks like a city built with various bridges from a close distance, and as if it is a huge Tsubaki tree with lush foliage, the more dense the layout of the city becomes, and the buildings become more and more exquisite and beautiful.
As the distance got closer, a piece of exquisite white exterior wall soon came into the fat man's sight, "What an unexpected scenery" The fat man's gaze unconsciously shrank on this long white wall, leaning on the stone wall of the city that stands steeply next to the lake, as if rippling and twisting, although the stone wall is twisted and wrinkled, but it is smooth like a mirror, like the folds of the skirt of the elegant ripples, at the top of the city, a magnificent white castle with three pedestals, like a dream into the mountain towering there, with the blue lake under the mountain, the beauty is intoxicating
"Your Majesty, the Minister of the Interior of the Interior who had accompanied him all the way has asked for an audience!" said a guard leaning over and whispering to the fat man who was looking coldly at the magnificent mountain city in front of him, holding his head high
"Let him come over!" The fat man stopped his horse, hesitated, and nodded in acquiescence, he knew that Angelio was here to leave, the border gate of Lengwei County had been opened, and Angelio should have reported the news of his infiltration into the capital of Roseend. The plan began to be promoted, and I believe that at this moment, the Kyoto Praetorian Guards who controlled the capital of Zhanì Sende also began to act, and laid a net in the capital that made it difficult for them to escape
It is necessary not to let yourself be suspicious, to avoid startling the grass and the snake and guiding yourself to stop the pace of the moth to the fire,
The best way is to evacuate all the people in the capital who may make you feel an eyesore, so that you can make yourself proud and more comfortable to swagger into the trap.
And these people are inside. Home Secretary Angelio is naturally at the level of a super bulb, but he can't imagine that the other party will die, this super bulb is actually a person arranged by himself,
Angelio came up from behind and waved his hand "You are waiting for me here"
The Sidney lieutenant next to him stopped his war horse ten meters away, this Sidney lieutenant was obviously a little nervous, and his eyes unconsciously paused on the fat man, Vikia Falcon, the lord of the northwest. Anyone will be curious to take a look at the "Majesty!"
Angelio stopped his horse opposite the fat man, put his hand on his chest and saluted, and said with a grim face, "The plan has been launched, and I just received an order from those fools in the capital." It's a pity that I want to return for the reason of the previous arrangement! I'm afraid that Angelio will not be able to continue escorting His Majesty along the way!"
Angelio smiled wryly at the corner of his mouth, his face full of apologies. It seemed that he was talking to the Duke of Dunkiel next to the fat man, but in fact, he was saying to the fat man that the Duke of Dunkiel's face was a little ugly. Or unbelievable
"No, you've done enough!"
The fat man was not in the mood to explain, he smiled kindly at Angelio, "Open the cold tail county according to the agreement, and use a fake order to incite the counties of Sonde to oppose the capital, the biggest hero this time is actually yourself, and I'm just here to pick up cheap idlers!"
"Your Majesty is too modest, the whole plan is the handiwork of Your Majesty, and the trip to the northwest coast has also made me more determined in my opinion of Your Majesty!" Angelio replied with a respectful expression, "Rather than letting the millions of creatures of Rusende become cannon fodder for Kyoto to launch a war, it is better to hand it over to His Majesty, at least His Majesty's heart is in the northwest, and the areas he has occupied are treated equally, and Kyoto, I just want a slave named Ruosende" "I will keep my promise and will definitely not be prejudiced against Ruosende!" The fat man definitely made a promise, he could feel it, Angelio seemed to have something to say, Angelio's move had reached a critical moment,
"Thank you, Your Majesty, in fact, I came to say goodbye this time, and there is one more thing!" Angelio's voice stopped, hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind, looked at Chromdor in the distance, and said, "Ahead, is the first gate in the true sense of the word of the capital of Grosend, Fort Clomtor!"
"I believe that in the eyes of His Majesty, it is not difficult to see that the location of the city is not simple, in fact, in the basin of the city, there were not only the people of the Assyrian people, but also the Assyrian kingdom whose population is roughly the same as the people of the Insend, the area of the control was small and pitiful, limited to the small basin of 200 square miles in the capital of the city, until a hundred and thirty years ago, we were finally defeated by the Assyrians in the battle for Chromdor, and the people of the Insend, who had been trapped in the small basin for a hundred years, opened the passage to the outside of the basin at once, and with Chromdor, we were able to gain the initiative to attack the basinIn the next 100 years, the war of Rosender was also fought for 50 years, and it was also based on the castle of Chromdor, which continued to launch expansion wars abroad, and finally destroyed Assyria and formed the fertile Principality of Rosend."
The fat man stared at Angelio with flickering eyes, he was waiting, since Angelio pointed out the importance of Chromburg, it was definitely not just to remind this problem that anyone who is not blind can see it, so what does the long white wall that Angelio refers to?
Under the fierce gaze of the fat man, Angelio's voice stopped, and said in an accentuated tone, "To put it bluntly, Lengwei County is the lord of the city, how long is the Krom the real gate of the capital of the city, no matter how many troops there are, if you can't step on the Kromdo, then it is all empty talk for the military plan of the capital of the city! But for His Majesty, it is not a problem at all, because the gate here should be waiting for a British lord like His Majesty!"
"Oh, why?"
The fat man was stunned unexpectedly, the army overflowed Leng Wei County, and the fat man had already made a plan to forcibly get through Chromo, as long as he conquered here by surprise. In front of the capital of the city is a plain with a flat river, there is no danger to defend, and the cavalry group is quick to decide, even if the other party reacts, it can only stare and watch.
"The lord here is the Corion clan, although his ability is mediocre, but there is one thing that is worthy of admiration" Angelio seemed to know what the fat man was thinking, and raised his finger into the distance, "Your Majesty sees that white wall"
The fat man nodded, the walls were so conspicuous, even a little artistic, "That's the masterpiece of the contemporary Cromdor Shou Corion!" Angelio's eyes flashed with memory. As if thinking of something, he smiled and said, "That guy is my good friend since childhood, and he has been a chamberlain officer for three years, I know him too well, and he is a guy with his own opinions. But the strong walls that are a weapon of war can't also lose their meaning with the years, and who knows when Cromdor will become a battlefield again!" "Do you know what that guy said?" Angelio smiled slightly, "He said that the war in Cromdor is over, and this old city wall has too many traces of war. It's really unappetizing for everyone who comes to Chromdor, it's a prosperous era for Chromdor, and if he had a choice, he would ignore everyone's opposition. He designed it himself and turned it into a delicate white wall that all travelers were amazed at when they saw it, so that the cruelty of war would be forever isolated from this white wall" "This guy is really interesting!" The fat man was a little dumbfounded when he heard it. The gaze stopped on the white long wall in front, where it should have been the city wall, but it was replaced by a long white wall, which seemed a bit nondescript, but under this white long wall, it was not the vicissitudes and sadness under the city wall in the past, but the shadow of the mountain sheep leisurely looking for food, thinking of the grape trellises along the way, the picturesque mountain stream, and the sun shining on the white wall also glowed with a peaceful light
"It's a peace that can't be broken, well, I can promise you that if I don't have to, I can not use force against this city!" the fat man took a deep breath and promised
"As long as you can win the peace, that guy will satisfy Your Majesty!" Angelio smiled with satisfaction on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Let the sound of thousands of troops and horses fighting in the chaos of war become the horse bell ringing in the era of caravan peace, this is the greatest monarch of this era, that guy is very worshipful of His Majesty." I chose to flee to the northwest coast, in fact, it was also this guy's mentions, I have secretly sent him a secret letter, stating my position and the conspiracy of Kyoto, and stating that His Majesty is in this convoy, and after arriving in Kromdor, he can take a little rest, and that guy will definitely cry and shout!" I don't know if I'll be able to see Majesty again alive this time, that guy is also a squire officer, and he is also a local county guard, and he is a very useful talent for His Majesty to finally manage the Rosender Society" Angelio sighed and said goodbye to the fat man, rode his horse into Chromdor, and finally disappeared
Looking at Angelio who was riding away, the Duke of Dunkel, who had been serving as a foil next to the fat man just now, the gaze in his eyes was like a ghost in broad daylight, he didn't expect that the Minister of the Interior who came to greet him and served as a surveillance mission turned out to be the person of Vecchia Falcon, it was really terrible, when did this dead fat man arrange such an important identity of the shadow?
The Minister of the Interior is in charge of the affairs of the Principality, and it is too easy for him to manipulate the orders sent to various places.
It's no wonder that the atmosphere between the local county guard and the capital has become more and more strange in recent times, and the knowledge of the situation in various places can make the Vikia Falcon attack on the Rosende like a tiger.
Thinking of Lengwei County, which had just opened its door, and now that Chromdor had not yet arrived, he had already "fallen" the Duke of Dunkirk in advance, and he felt a little chill in his back, and he didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
A day later, somewhere in the Kromdor Mountains, the crisp sound of horses' hooves was unusually clear in the silent night, and it was getting closer and closer, and in the shadowy darkness, the cavalry swept across the land like locusts, leaving behind invisible dust.
The sound of horses' hooves woke up the animals in the mountains, and the wild birds that were frightened flew up to the sky, hovering above, and the birds in the nest chirped. In the mountains below, the black cavalry maintained a high degree of silence, and at the moment of dawn, the sky seemed very dark, it was originally a night when the moon and stars were scarce, and the faint moonlight gradually illuminated the black armor on those cavalry,
Some of these cavalry were Guards cavalry with white thorn flowers on their chests, and some were steppe cavalry wearing pointed helmets and carrying hunter compound bows. The cold May air is full of sweet smells, the grass buds in the field seem to have grown a lot taller overnight, and the golden colorful grass straightens its stems from the hard frozen soil, allowing its pale yellow petals to bathe in the rising sun as much as possible.
"Tata Tower"
On a rugged mountain road, 30,000 cavalry marched in four formations, cautiously and slowly crossing a rolling hill. The rumbling sound of horses' hooves was like bursts of muffled thunder, occasionally mixed with the neighing of war horses and the collision and friction of metal vests.
The black armor was lined up in several long, fast-moving black lines, shining with a dark sheen in the golden light of the sun.
Dense cavalry formations continued to emerge from the heights of the hills, looking from a distance like a black wall that had suddenly appeared in the hilly area, and the sharp spears in their hands hung down, shining like snow with a terrifying brilliance. The bursting mountain wind passed through their ranks, and the smell of blood spread in the wind,
"Your Excellency. Your Majesty's order!"
A cavalry guard appeared from the corner of the mountain road in front, stopped in front of Hukochili, took out a copy of the order, Hukochili stopped his horse, took the order and looked at it, and his cold face showed a touch of surprise,
It's really good, Hukochili put the report in his arms, the main target of this sneak attack is Chromdor, but the order from His Majesty shows that he thought that he needed to use the sneak attack to be able to open Chromo, the local county guard has already surrendered to His Majesty the Falcon, it is really an accident in an accident, according to His Majesty's order, the 30,000 cavalry that followed up no longer need to be hidden,
"Order the whole army to speed up! Go straight to Kromdor!" Hukochili excitedly ordered to the cavalry cluster behind him, "Speed up the whole army, go straight to Kromdor!" As the order was conveyed, the speed of the cavalry group began to speed up, and the long dragon dragged out by the 30,000 cavalry on the mountain road raised the dust that covered the entire mountain, and in the evening, the queue of 30,000 cavalry had appeared under the city of Kromdor, and the gate of Kromdor had already been opened, "Enter the city!" Hukochi raised his hand, and the horse team stepped into the drawbridge outside the city wall, and the group of goats gnawing on grass blades below, as if startled by the horse team, dispersed in all directions, and the cry of the sheep made the cavalry a little less slaughtered.
In the hazy sunset, black lines emerged from the edge of the ridge, and a large dark and messy stretch of the road was infinitely far away.
Groups of cavalry began to rush down like a huge arc, the brilliance of the metal shone with the breath of killing, the golden sky also showed light at this moment, a layer of golden light appeared in the east, the earth trembled at this moment, and the full 30,000 cavalry were like a sea of war horses. The secret dense armor of the horses shone with a cold and ruthless light, and in front of them was the last obstacle to the capital of Sonde,
"Stop!"
Hu Keqi raised his hand, stopped his horse on a high slope, and the cavalry of the guards following behind him pulled the reins of the horse, and the horse's hooves stepped on a puff of smoke and dust, and in the distance, the city located in the dense forest and mountains was already faintly visible, and it was already past evening, and there was only a little sunset on the horizon, and on the pale white line separating heaven and earth, a half-remnant cold moon slowly rose from behind the city in the distance,
The city in the distance is the target of this time, and human beings may be born to forget their hurts and pains! or, as well, that humanity can grow stronger in the midst of countless chaos."
Hu Keqili hesitated for a moment, and looked at the city in the basin in front of him with deep eyes, and the lights of the city were like gorgeous and brilliant stars flickering in the dark sky, which naturally dissolved in the quiet night around him, projecting a vibrant scene,
The mountains are like shadows, and the silver moonlight shines on the jumping figure of the war horse. The night is like water, and the silver moon has slowly climbed to the top of the mountain, shining on the body of the cavalry cluster, like a soft fluctuating silver glow rendered around, "My lord, shall we start attacking?" The steppe cavalry was a little impatient at first, "Don't hurry, according to His Majesty's order, don't rush to attack for the time being, and gallop all the way, ours can stand it, and the war horses can't stand it!" Hu Keqi waved his hand to stop it, his eyes staring at the city have gradually been able to see some outlines from euphemistic as a line,
This city, reflected in the faint silver glow, exudes a bit of quaint atmosphere, the mountainous terrain is extremely undulating, it may be seen from the top of the mountain, the target is only less than 30 miles, but at that time, the straight line position, really to reach the goal, but it needs to go up and down the mountains several times, the distance is several times more, this is the so-called Wangshan running dead horses!" But His Majesty has stopped in Kromdor, can we just look at it?" Several Kujitwan horsemen expressed puzzlement. Although His Majesty stopped, the black-and-white killing arranged by His Majesty this time had just begun!" Hu Keqili smiled mysteriously and looked into the distance, "Sometimes, not moving is more terrifying than moving!" (To be continued......)
