Tribulation of Mysteries - Chapter 13
[Chapter 13 Wedding (Thank you to the leader of the Supreme Open Heaven Holding Talisman Xuan Qiong Gao Lao Tie!)]
On the Black Crow Sand Dune.
“Kill!”
Thousands of troops intertwined fiercely, and a brutal assassination broke out.
Different from the entanglements in the past, today’s Theodore Sotos immediately started a fierce attack after discovering that the enemy had really begun to retreat.
And, remarkable results were achieved.
The sun was setting, the battlefield was covered with blood, and the broken flags were falling sideways, like the end of an era.
“In this war, our Sotos family finally won the victory!”
Theodore said proudly while riding on his horse, patrolling the battlefield.
“And Aaron, his information is very useful. Well… he also deserves credit for guarding Widow’s Cove.”
Theodore said to himself, and soon he saw the slightly gloomy expression on the eldest son’s face.
But he didn’t say anything.
At this time, a ranger brought an emissary from the Davis family.
“Dear Sir Theodore, I have brought the goodwill of the master, hoping to shake hands and make peace. We will admit defeat and be willing to cede part of the territory.”
The envoy was a fat man with a flattering face, and he knelt on the ground and said.
“Seek peace?”
Theodore hesitated for a moment.
Although I really want to destroy the Davis family, it will not happen overnight. If the opponent is stubborn and resists, with the help of the castle, even hundreds of people can resist for a long time.
At this moment, a raven flew down and was caught by Knight Turner, who took away the letter above.
He looked at it, his expression suddenly changed, he found Theodore, and handed the letter over: “Lord, this is an urgent letter from Master Aaron.”
“What?”
Theodore took the letter and his eyes widened. , immediately looked at the kneeling fat man, stepped forward and gave him a severe whip: “Are you lying to me?”
“Sir, I don’t dare, sir!”
The fat man rolled all over the floor, his gorgeous robes Covered in filth, he begged loudly for mercy.
“My son has already attacked your castle, destroyed the drawbridge and gate, and set fire to your grain stores!”
Theodore laughed and said, “That guy Andrew sent you here to sue for peace. Could it be that he was just buying time to rebuild ?” “
The castle?”
“What?”
Colin was shocked: “Aaron actually… captured a castle?”
He was very surprised when there was a battle report saying that Aaron killed a knight. Is this still his younger brother who has always been low-key and has no sense of presence?
‘Could it be…’
A sense of urgency was immediately buried deep in Colin’s heart.
“Send the order, attack! Attack! Attack!”
Theodore roared loudly: “I want to take down the castle of the Davis family and unify the Green Forest! I want there to be only one voice in the northern forest of Kargash!”
…
More than ten days later, Aaron received the news.
Theodore Sotos captured Davis Castle, beheaded the Davis family patriarch Andrew and the heir Andrew Jr., and completely occupied the territory of the Upper Green Forest.
From now on, the entire green forest territory will fly with the green banyan flag of the Sotos family!
“The war… is finally over.”
Aaron sighed: “Fortunately… I have completed the minimum goal and finally survived.”
…
one month later.
Inside the Green Banyan Tree Cave.
Because he won the war, Theodore believed that this was a gift from [Grandma Green Banyan Tree], and a grand ceremony was bound to be held.
During this ceremony, Aaron saw the heads of Andrew and his son, as well as more bloody and cruel human sacrifices.
When the sacrificial stone platform was filled with flesh, blood and internal organs, and the flag representing the Davis family was burned, Theodore finally announced that the sacrifice was over.
The group walked out of the cave, and Aaron took a deep breath to suppress the slight nausea.
Killing during war and killing after war are two completely different things.
“My son, you did a good job.”
After taking off the sacrificial robe, Theodore threw the robe to Colin and showed a rare smile to Aaron: “Tell me, what reward do you want?”
” How about a fief?”
Aaron and Theodore looked at each other without hesitation.
In the past, it was almost impossible for the Lower Green Forest to be divided up again. However, after acquiring the Upper Green Forest, it was very possible to set aside several knightly fiefdoms and reward those who had meritorious services.
Moreover, this was also his way of expressing to Theodore that he had no intention of being the heir.
Anyway, no matter how good his performance is, he may not be able to win Theodore’s favor and let him replace the original heir.
Maybe, this time is a test?
After hearing Aaron’s answer, Theodore’s expression condensed, and then his smile did not change: “Yes, you will be a very good vassal.”
“The lord gives land to his vassals, and the vassals return loyalty. That’s right. It’s a matter of course.”
Aaron showed a hint of excitement.
The feudal nobles of this era were completely different from those of China.
In the late Chinese feudal era, the title of Duke, Boy, Boy, etc. was also called this name, but in fact there was no real fiefdom at all, and there were no private soldiers. Of course, it was taken by the emperor life and death.
In the West, even a king cannot hang a baron with a decree.
In Aaron’s view, the Western Kingdom is like a company. The king is at best a weak chairman who may be dismissed by the board of directors in minutes…
In the green forest, once he becomes a knight, even if Colin When you are in a high position, it is difficult to treat yourself as such.
Theodore said a few more words and looked at Colin: “The Upper Green Forest has been under the rule of the Davis family for generations. Now that a ruler has been changed rashly, the people will inevitably have some resistance. What should we do?”
“Father, I am willing to be your sword and clear all obstacles for you.” Colin answered without hesitation.
Theodore was a little disappointed and looked at Aaron.
“At this time, the Shanglu Forest should focus on appeasement and recognize that the territories of the surrendered knights are legal. In addition…Although the direct line of the Davis family is dead, Sylvie is still there…”
Ya Lun had a playful smile in his heart: “How about continuing the previous engagement, letting Colin marry Sylvie of the Davis family, and announcing that their children will become the future heirs of the Green Forest?”
“It’s a good idea. The wisdom of ruling!”
A happy smile appeared on Theodore’s face: “Did you hear that? Colin… prepare to marry Sylvie immediately, the celebration must be grand!”
Colin suddenly felt like he was punched.
He didn’t want to marry the woman who brought him shame at all, not to mention…that woman was in Aaron’s hands, and she didn’t know what happened to her!
However, this is a political marriage. Even if Sylvie is a sow, he still has to marry her!
What’s more, this is also to consolidate his position as heir.
As long as they marry Sylvie and have children, Aaron Sotos and Sean Sotos will never be able to compare with him!
More updates will be added after they are released
