The great oasis of Posini

Wearing a yellow Aden military uniform, Rukhsir, surrounded by more than a dozen generals stationed in the Great Oasis of the Kingdom of Aden, strode up the steps in front of the Posini Grand Oasis Palace, passing through the spacious and bright desert-style halls and There are Aden soldiers standing on both sides of the corridor, and you walk into the royal palace hall, which can accommodate 300 people for a banquet at the same time.

"Lord Rukhsir has arrived"

The Aden soldiers standing at the door stood upright. Behind them were more than a dozen generals wearing the uniforms of the Aden generals. Their faces were iron-faced, their lips were pursed tightly, and their eyes were looking straight ahead, like ten solemn sculptures, silently Without a breath, the various oasis monarchs who had been talking about each other in the hall fell silent.

"I'm sorry everyone, Lord Eaglewoods is unwell, so for the time being, I am solely responsible for the negotiation of this agreement." Luke Hill looked cold and smiled, as if he could not see the extremely stunned faces of the monarchs of the Great Oasis. , took a document from the officer behind him, and sat down firmly at the right end of the long table in the hall.

"What's going on? Why didn't Lord Eaglewoods come?"

"It's Rukhshir!"

"Didn't you say he was imprisoned? Why are you here, and why are you here on behalf of Lord Eaglewoods?"

The other major oases monarchs looked as if they had seen a ghost. Today is the day of the formal agreement. All the major oases have tried their best to earn as many concessions from the Aden people before the actual negotiation, so in the past few days , they all tried their best to give gifts to Eaglewoods, and Eaglewoods also accepted them all without hesitation, which made The monarchs of the major Oasis 1 felt like they had taken a reassurance in their hearts. They were all secretly waiting for Eaglewoods to announce good news to them at the meeting. No one expected that at the last moment, Eaglewoods would simply Didn't show up, but was temporarily replaced by Luxi. Not only everything they gave was in vain, but it seemed to be even more serious.

Because Rukhsir didn't have a good impression of the Great Oasis monarchs, and even said many times that the Great Oasis should be destroyed,

"If it is not Lord Eaglewoods, then I refuse this negotiation." A Great Oasis monarch stood up angrily, his face was livid, his teeth were clenched, and his eyes were full of anger!

"Yes, we refuse to negotiate with someone who is malicious to the Great Oasis." The other Great Oasis monarchs stood up one after another. The Great Oasis monarchs already knew that they had been tricked by the Aden people. No one expected that the dignified Kingdom of Aden would adopt this method. Such a despicable method, even if it was a temporary substitution, the one who was actually replaced was because Rukhsir was imprisoned for planning an attack on Lord Posini. This shows that Aden did not pay attention to the monarchs of the great oasis at all. This is a naked irony of all the monarchs of the great oasis. Intimidation, the people of Aden have no intention of making a real agreement at all. If this is the case, they will only face danger if they continue to stay.

"Everyone, if I were you, I would never say the word quit at this critical moment!"

Rukhsir picked up the water on the table nonchalantly, gently blew away the white smoke on it, and drank slowly, one mouthful at a time. This is the great oasis of Bosini, and everything is under the absolute control of Aden. Now that these monarchs of the great oasis have entered Posini, they are meat to be slaughtered. Eaglewoods asked Rukhsir to come. , just here for a showdown. These great oasis monarchs really regard themselves as the masters of the great oasis, completely forgetting the humiliation of being conquered by the sword of Aden eighty years ago. Moreover, Rukshier has always insisted that these great oasis monarchs It is just a borer attached to the big tree of the Kingdom of Aden, and there is absolutely no need to exist.

In order to enjoy themselves, these monarchs ruthlessly levied heavy taxes on caravans, a bloated and decadent aristocratic class, internal disputes among desert peoples, rampant corruption and full of stupid and incompetent management officials. They just invested all their financial and material resources in the decoration of the facade. superior. And he was very proud of it. Except for the admiration of the majesty of ordinary people who have no knowledge of military affairs, it is of no use at all. During the Bosini turmoil, Rukhsir only used 300 people to capture the palace, so Rukhsir was not interested in this. The impression was extremely profound. In his eyes, these great oasis monarchs, all of whom looked good in person, were completely stern in appearance but weak in heart.

"Lord Rukhsir, if you can't make it clear what you mean by this sentence, it will force our Great Oasis to think that you have declared war on the entire Great Oasis."

Hearing Rukhsir's words, the faces of the monarchs of the Great Oasis all changed. Rukhsir is different from other Aden people. This is a person who really dares to take action. How long has it been since the Bosini Incident? The smell of blood has not completely dissipated in King Posini's palace. Could it be that Rukhsir still thinks of attacking everyone! The person who stood up to question Rukhsir was a middle-aged monarch with sparse hair and a square chin. His nose took up almost two-thirds of the entire face. With this appearance, it didn't matter if he declared war. Rukhsir secretly thought that it was the last moment to break up, so what else did he need to be polite about?

"We in Aden have just decided to abandon the big oases and withdraw the garrison troops from the major oases, so we also ask all the princes to cooperate."

Luxir glanced at the major oasis monarchs, and said every word with a solemn voice. Just as he finished speaking, the Aden generals standing behind him stood up neatly, and a pressing pressure filled the air. Come out, these generals of Aden are all from the regular army of Aden. Many of them had participated in the war with the Aero Empire. The natural murderous aura in them made the air in the entire hall seem to be stagnant.

"What, give up the big oasis!"

"Are you kidding me? Are you Aden people giving up on the grand oasis? If you give up on the grand oasis, what will we do?"

Another Great Oasis Lord stood up angrily. All the Great Oasis Lords were also shocked by the news. The Great Oasis is their foundation. Without the Great Oasis, they are nothing. And the most unacceptable thing for them is , is the reason why the people of Aden abandoned the Great Oasis and completely prevented enemies hostile to the Kingdom of Aden from entering the Gulf of Aden! Why should we sacrifice the entire oasis for the safety of the Gulf of Aden? Regarding the selfish behavior of the people of Aden, the eyes of the monarchs of the Grand Oasis are red with anger. Any negotiation is simply a lie. From the beginning, the people of Aden have decided to sacrifice the entire Grand Oasis to preserve the Gulf of Aden! So despicable, so abominable!

"Lord Luxir, is there no other way?

Over the years, our big oasis has made considerable contributions to the Gulf of Aden." There was also a voice from the monarch of the big oasis pleading.

"This is something that has been decided. There is no need to change it. You just need to implement it according to the arrangement. I am considering your safety. This is the great oasis of Posini where unrest is rampant. Although we have carried out measures to deal with the unrest. suppression, but no one can guarantee that no rioters will take risks To attack the princes, you must know that since these turbulent elements dare to attack the royal palace, it is entirely possible to attack you on the way!" Luxir snorted with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, looking at him with a sharp gaze like a knife! Under the gaze, the monarchs of the Great Oasis broke into cold sweat and swallowed hard.

"I suddenly have a stomachache. I hope you can provide convenience." A big oasis monarch suddenly stood up with an embarrassed expression, saying that he had a stomachache and could hardly bear it.

"Go!" Rukhsir's eyes flashed and he waved his hand to the great oasis monarch. The great oasis monarch quickly ran out of the meeting hall. The first thing the great oasis monarch did when he left the meeting hall was Walking to the toilet, he found that the Aden people didn't pay attention to him at all. The monarch of the great oasis was pretending They looked around calmly, and then suddenly turned into the corridor on the right side of the meeting hall. None of them came alone. They all came with more or less guards. As they entered the meeting hall, all the guards were left behind. Outside, at the end of the corridor was the waiting room where the guards were. He walked quickly towards the waiting room.

In another room in the Palace of Bosini, Eaglewoods put his hands behind his back and stared at the sky to the west of the great oasis. Under the clean and clear blue curtain, there was an endless expanse of yellow sand.

"Sir, the personnel are all here." An Aden officer walked in and reported.

"Have the rosters been corrected?" Eaglewoods turned around and asked.

"Yes, there are a total of one hundred and eighty-nine people. They are all officers from major oases serving in our Aden garrison." The Aden officer looked serious, hesitated, and continued, "And His Highness Tamasu is also here. "

"What is he doing here? Didn't I tell him that he can change this matter?" Eaglewoods' face darkened, and after taking a deep breath, he said, "Let Your Highness Tamasu come to see me, and also Tell Hamas to execute it without further delay!”

"Yes, I understand." The officer nodded and left.

The midday sun shone into the conference room in the military camp in front of me. The conference room where more than a hundred people gathered was silent. Their faces were pale and their eyes were bloodshot. None of the Aden officers who had received the order and rushed from various oases were there. After closing their eyes, as soon as they arrived at the military camp, their weapons were confiscated and then they were gathered here.

They were all locals from major oases. They were promoted to officers after accumulating military merit in the Aden Army. However, because of their background, their positions were not high. The highest level was at the level of squadron leader, and the others were squad leaders. At this moment, they were also waiting with blank faces, not realizing that the disaster was coming.

In the eyes of the people of Aden, they will always be people of the Great Oasis. Once the Kingdom of Aden adopts a policy of destruction of the Great Oasis, it is difficult to guarantee that these low-level officers who are familiar with the inside story of the Aden army will not rebel. Eaglewoods believes that the simplest way is to all Get rid of them. They are just low-level officers anyway, so they won't have much impact.

But the one who is more troublesome to bypass Eaglewoods is a man named Tamasu. Tamasu is the military training officer of the Aden Military Affairs Department in the Grand Oasis. Although his position is not high, he is directly attached to the Royal Ministry of Foreign Affairs. , and Tamasu’s other identity is the illegitimate son of His Majesty the King of Aden. He is only twenty-four years old and has already He has officially entered the Royal Ministry of Military Affairs, and it is said that he will soon be awarded the position of regimental commander. He can be said to be a young and promising new leader in the army. Tamasu was transferred to the Grand Oasis six months ago to serve as a training officer for the Ministry of Military Affairs. He is completely This is because the Grand Oasis is considered a war zone in the Kingdom of Aden, and three years of service in the war zone is the basic requirement for promotion to Corps Commander.

Outside there was the sound of neat queues marching, commands, shouts, and the sound of the cavalry's hooves. The officers who felt something was wrong, their originally pale faces turned pale, and they all looked at a man with flaxen hair sitting in the corner. young officer.

"Don't be nervous, everyone, I believe it's just a temporary measure." The young officer with flaxen hair said with a smile, hoping to reduce the depressive atmosphere. Just as he finished speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a large group of soldiers People poured in and surrounded the venue. A middle-aged general wearing a yellow officer's uniform appeared at the door.

"Master Hamastu, how long are you going to keep us under custody?" The flaxen-colored young officer stood up. He is Tamasu. He has a very good relationship with the middle-aged general in front of him, so he insists on staying here. , Hamasdu had no choice but to smile and say, "Don't get me wrong, I'm leaving everyone here because Lord Eaglewoods has a special mission to give you, so don't be so nervous."

"Is this the order from Lord Eaglewoods?" Tamasu's expression changed.

"Yes, Lord Eaglewoods specially asked me to invite you," Hamasdu nodded and said.

"Okay, I also want to know what Lord Eaglewoods means." Hamassu nodded, then turned to the other officers and said, "Everyone must calm down. I will get Lord Eaglewoods's warrant immediately." Come here. "Since it was Eaglewoods' order, if you can't persuade Eaglewoods, everything is in vain. Although he didn't know why Eaglewoods did this, he could vaguely feel that this was not a good thing.

After Tamasu left, Hamasdu glanced contemptuously at the frightened officers and ordered, "Take it down!" The surrounding Aden soldiers pounced on them like wolves and tigers, several of them dealing with one by one, and those who didn't put up much resistance were killed. The officers were tied up tightly. Hamasdu went to the center and stopped. "Now I read the warrant of Lord Eaglewoods." There was silence in the wide auditorium hall, only Hamasdu's voice echoed. "Rectify the discipline of the army and eliminate any possible suspicion of rebellion to ensure that we The long-standing glorious reputation of the Aden Army will not be tarnished. All the royal officers from the Great Oasis, from the squad leader to above, will be executed.

The room suddenly exploded with cries of injustice: "You're wronged! We didn't do anything!"

"Lord Hamasdu, have mercy!" "We have shed blood for Aden, we have fought with the Ero people, and we are loyal to the Kingdom of Aden." Some people shouted angrily, "Hamasdu, you bastard ! I won’t let you go even if I’m a ghost! Just wait!” Half an hour later, Tamasu excitedly took Yi. With the order from Gwurtz, he rushed to the military camp and walked into the venue. He was stunned. The corpses of more than a hundred officers were strewn across the entire venue, and blood flowed out of the door. A strong smell of blood was overwhelming... Hamas Du turned back and smiled brightly at him: "You are back. Have you got Lord Eaglewoods' warrant?"
