Realm of Power

428 Royal Court Night Banquet (2)

Cheering crowds gathered throughout the city, and there were people everywhere,

Tribal girls in festive costumes dance like butterflies in the city streets.

I don’t know if it’s because of the tense atmosphere before the war, or because this is an extremely rare gathering.

More and more young people are chasing after them, and boys and girls hugging each other can be seen constantly.

Fatty even saw many 13- and 4-year-old girls inside participating in such exciting activities.

Looking at the pretty and childish figures, who were finally held in the arms of the chasing boy, the fat man couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Of course, the fat man didn’t know that in Kugit, these little girls were no longer children.

According to tribal regulations, when a girl reaches marriageable age at the age of 12, she must start learning and being exposed to how to be a good wife to a man.

Their first teacher is often their mother. For their daughter who is about to become an adult, the mother's responsibility is extremely important.

Because, in the eyes of the Kugit people,

The most valuable possessions are not the horses, cattle and sheep they own, but the number of wives and children they have,

Because these are the hope of the entire tribe and the most basic things of a tribe.

If a man dies, their wife and children must join another man's group,

Likewise, to protect these tribes' most valuable assets,

The man who accepts the mother and child must swear to the Immortal Heaven on the honor of his tribe and his own life.

No matter whose children and wives they were, whether they were brothers or friends, they must be treated equally.

This is a power that seems to have more obligations than benefits, but it is the hope of the tribe’s continuation.

Everyone in the tribe, from the most noble patriarch to the toddler, will testify to this matter.

Anyone who breaks his oath will not only be cast aside by the entire tribe, but also all his property, wife and children will be deprived of him by the tribe.

Therefore, while Kugit men fight desperately for their wives and sons, they never worry.

After his death, his wife and children were left alone and without support.

This seemingly cruel law ensures the most basic reproductive ability of the tribe and has become the default law of all Kugit people.

This is the law of the wolf pack and the wisdom of Professor Changshengtian

It applies to everyone, even if he is a noble Khan or a wandering ordinary citizen.

The Kugits can continue to grow in this melee environment. This seemingly unreasonable law has the most important significance.

The sky gradually dimmed in the continuous joy, and countless red bonfires lit up the entire sky.

"Hoo" a war horse roared past the erected target,

The swift scimitar in the knight's hand slid past with arc light at high speed, and the watermelon as the target was split into two halves with the knife, and the red pulp sputtered out.

"Good job." The fat man looked at the young rider who split four watermelons in succession and nodded secretly.

This is the performance of a Prairie Laren level 2 warrior,

The superb equestrian skills and the constantly flashing machete that flexibly shuttled between the targets aroused even more fierce cheers and praises from all around.

The scimitar, the favorite weapon of the Kugit people, turned into the most deadly weapon in the hands of this prairie Laren warrior.

Bow shooting, dodge attack, scimitar slashing, and horse charging. These things that are constantly flashing in the game are the essence of Kujit cavalry tactics.

For a whole afternoon, Fatty kept watching various competitions. The bravery and vigor of the Kugits made Fatty feel a little admired. At the same time, he also gained a deeper understanding of the Kugits' cavalry tactics.

Assaulting like a pack of wolves, coupled with their skillful equestrian skills and sharp scimitars, the Kujit cavalry can hunt like spread fishing nets, and can also penetrate the enemy's defense line like assault spears.

The glow dissipated, and the red round sun finally hid the last half of its smiling face, and the sky turned completely dark.

The fat man finally chose to sit down in a remote place on the tower.

Looking at the happy Kugit people under the dark and red sky, and those Kugit people dancing happily around clusters of red bonfires,

The fat man felt an incomprehensible emotion spreading. At this moment, these smiling Kugits were once his biggest enemies.

Samor Fortress, the Kugits carried the corpses of their companions and rushed to the city wall

On the outskirts of Omur, 20,000 left-guard cavalry launched a desperate attack on their own military formation, until the last Kugit general fell in a sea of ​​blood and corpses.

But now, these simple herdsmen have fought against them. The figures of the tough and cruel Kugit cavalry overlapped together, making those Kugit warriors who fought to the death appear more plump.

I have seen the brave and senseless side of the Kugits, and I have also seen the simple and enthusiastic side of the Kugits. Which one is the real Kugit?

or both

The night wind carried melodious and cheerful herdsman music into Fatty's ears. Fatty recovered from his daze, raised his head and looked at the stars above his head, feeling so lonely.

I am just a passerby. This happiness is so close, yet so far away. This is the happiness that belongs to the Kugit people, but I have to leave tonight.

When tomorrow's morning light pierces the sky, among the cheerful crowd here, I don't know how many people will put on their battle armor, pick up their scimitars and rush to the front line.

They will fight for their own tribe, their own khan,

This decisive battle affecting the entire northern war situation will also be completely ignited.

"Let's go, it's time for us to set off. The fat man's mouth was filled with inexplicable sadness, and he patted the dust on his body with his hand.

Under the escort of several Kujit cavalry, he walked into the carriage that Scellis had been waiting for under the city tower.

The black curtain was lowered, completely cutting off the cheerful world outside.

The carriage shuttled through the crowded crowd. Half an hour later, the carriage passed through the entrance on the second floor, and Scellis's pretty figure appeared in front.

The fat man came out of the carriage. At this moment, he had changed into the Kugit clothes prepared in the carriage. If you didn't look carefully, you would have thought he was a fat young Kugit.

"The third floor is the range of the Royal Guards. If you follow me, as long as you don't raise your head, no one will be able to see it in the night." Sceris whispered in the fat man's ear,

A dozen serious-looking Kugit cavalrymen guarded the two in the middle.

"These are my personal guards, and there is absolutely no problem with their loyalty." Seeing the fat man's frowning expression, Sceris quickly explained in a low voice.

"These personal guards are somewhat similar to you in stature. They are your best cover. As long as you pass through the guards at the three-story gate, you can quietly leave the group and do your thing.

Even if the royal guards notice something unusual, they will never be able to find you among the large number of dignitaries’ guards.”

"Well, I'll do as you say." The fat man nodded affirmatively. Sceris was right. In the important place of the royal court, the passes must be subject to strict inspections.

My appearance is indeed very different from that of the Kugits.

Taking advantage of the vast darkness of night, hiding oneself among these dozen Kujit cavalry can indeed save a lot of trouble.

The horse team went up the winding mountain road,

"Crackling" torches on both sides of the road, sparks flying in the fierce mountain wind,

There are more and more Kukit nobles on the road, and most of them are accompanied by beautiful girls in costumes. However, compared with the beauty and elegance of Sceris, they seem a little inferior.

Sceris, who was leading the way, was like a beautiful goddess in the night, frequently attracting the attention of nobles on the road.

Seeing the cavalry of the Royal Court Princess Sceris, they all moved out of the way.

Sceris was not polite and drove her horse through the middle of the road. As a royal princess, Sceris naturally did not take the nobles of these tribes seriously.

As the mountain road gets higher and higher, a huge door appears not far away, and more than a dozen Kugit royal guards wearing exquisite mail armor are checking one by one.

"I'm sorry, princess." A captain of the Kukit royal court guard stopped Sceris's horse and said with a respectful expression, "The royal court has strict orders tonight. Because of the war ahead, in order to prevent the Ruidian people from sneaking in to assassinate King Khan, all the soldiers tonight Even the cavalry of Her Royal Highness the Princess will be inspected, so please cooperate."

"Why do you want to check even my cavalry?" Sceris waved her horsewhip with an angry expression, scaring the captain of the royal guard to turn pale.

Scellis is not an ordinary royal princess. She has both royal court affairs officer and military positions.

This is the only one like this in the entire Kugit court. Even the princes do not have such favor. It can be seen that the Khan valued this unruly princess more than the prince.

Sceris looked at the guards around her with pale faces, but they had no intention of letting them go. She knew that it would be difficult to get through this time, so she could only put on an angry look and said

""Since it is the king's order from King Khan, you can check that these people are my personal guards, and they all have military badges. If you don't believe it, you can go to the military court badges on their waists to verify.

I will report this matter to King Khan truthfully. I would like to ask King Khan if my status as a princess has also been revoked."

""this. . . . . The princess is too worried." The captain of the Wangting Guard looked slightly flustered, and there was speculation in his heart.

This search was not an order from the royal court at all, but someone specifically ordered it. Princess Scelise’s cavalry must be investigated strictly, as if hoping to find something out of it.

This big shot couldn't afford to offend him, but Princess Scellis was not a guard captain, so she couldn't afford to offend him. When he was hesitating and unable to make a decision,

Suddenly there was a commotion among the people coming to the banquet on the right,

I saw a girl in red clothes riding a blue war horse and rushing out of the crowd with more than a dozen guards.

The mountain road is narrow, with only enough space for five horses to walk abreast at a time. Being disrupted like this, the entire mountain road was immediately in chaos.

The sound of war horses neighing and people shouting and cursing made the royal guards in front of them who were blocking the investigation also become confused.

"Get out of the way, this is the cavalry of Princess Alenas of the East Courtyard." A cavalryman in mail armor knocked away the cavalry in front of him, waved his whip arrogantly, and shouted to the guards of the Royal Court who were blocking the road ahead. road,

"Princess Alenas's Horse Team" saw the appearance of the girl in red. The captain of the royal guard who had insisted on checking just now turned pale and quickly put on a flattering expression.

He shouted to the guards of the royal court around him, "Quick, move the fence. It's serious if the distinguished guests of the royal court collide." The guards hurriedly moved the fence blocking the road in a panic.

"Hurry up, let's go." Princess Alenas had no scruples about her behavior of breaking up the other cavalry. Instead of apologizing at all, she waved to the guards behind her.

He urged his war horse and rushed directly through the fence that had just been partially opened.

"Asshole" suddenly a scolding voice attracted everyone's attention,

The captain of the Royal Court Guard, who was full of flattery just now, covered his face with his hands and retreated several steps with a clang.

Sethlis was waving a bloody whip in her hand, and said angrily,

"You are blind. You need to check my horse team. Why did you let the Dongting people's horse team pass? In your eyes, my Princess Wangting is not as good as Princess Dongting. I must ask about this matter clearly. If you can't answer, I will personally cut off your head."

"No, it's not like that at all." The captain of the Royal Court Guard covered his bleeding face.

Sethlis's angry whip whipped him, causing him to scream in pain. He quickly said to the panicked subordinates behind him, "Why are you still standing there? Let them go."

The fat man hurriedly rode his horse to follow Sethlis's horse team and passed the Royal Court checkpoint without any hindrance.

The winding mountain road quickly became flat, and the surroundings were lit up. The bright bonfire illuminated the top of the holy mountain Hyrule.

The fat man found an opportunity on the way and broke away from Cecilis's horse team. He followed the black wall of the palace and followed the map provided by Cecilis through a wide flat with three-pole stairs.

On the flat, a thick black stone pillar went straight up to the sky. Countless noble girls in gorgeous clothes half-knelt in the center of the flat to pray for the royal court.

The war was imminent, and these girls were also worried about their lovers, fathers, and brothers.

The constant sounds of the birds and the birds seemed particularly clear and pleasant in the dark night, as if they could be transmitted to the top of the sky through the towering huge stone pillar.

The fat man was wearing the clothes of a Kugit guard, and these noble girls only regarded the fat man as an ordinary royal guard.

No one noticed this royal guard. It quickly disappeared into the darkness in the distance, and a huge palace was faintly visible there.

The fat man bypassed two sentries and sneaked into a dense forest on the right.

Because there was no one else around, the fat man completely let go of his hands and feet, and his body turned into an elusive shadow, like a sensitive fat civet cat quickly shuttling through the woods.

If someone saw it now, they would be scared and scream, thinking that they had encountered some mountain spirit or tree monster.

Gently pushing aside the obstructing bushes, the fat man stared at the abandoned palace in the distance with his sharp eyes.

There is indeed a problem here. The fat man found it when he saw the gate of the abandoned palace for the first time.

Today is the Seventh Festival, and the defense on the road is obviously more sparse than the fat man expected. Only here, even The guards patrolling the palace gate, the fat man secretly counted them in his mind,

Three patrol teams, 200 people standing guard, there are more than 400 guards who can be seen alone,

Densely surrounded by this abandoned palace full of mystery,

It is conceivable that in those invisible shadows, there will be more invisible eyes, vigilantly watching all those who may enter the palace,

This is just the palace gate, if you count the various sentries and patrols in the other three directions, I am afraid the number is no less than 3,000,

With such tight defense, if you say there is no trick inside, that is a problem.

Looking at the abandoned palace with such tight defense, the fat man also felt a headache,
