Othua's War Banner

Chapter 224 0223: Bloody Past

Early morning, Sandton Kaya main building.

Storms can last for several days, and the northern region can see a lot of spectacular extreme weather all over the place during the changing seasons.

Tornadoes and thunderstorms are the most common phenomena among them. After all the dust settles, I am afraid that the outer plains of [Qiu Ming Ancient Road] will no longer exist.

The village is still on alert.

Kuima and Hela guarded the main building, while the tribal coalition guarded the outskirts of the village. All refugees and travelers were temporarily placed outside the walls.

The room was empty except for a fireplace, a long table and chairs.

Ken was sitting on the inside, next to Selina, and on the same side were Sidi and Hume, and Wusenbu, who had just returned from hunting.

The seat opposite them was much empty, only Dan and Aron.

Represents 【Janzeles】.

"Don't panic, I have no malicious intentions, Tu Zhanwa is the child of betrayal of destiny..."

Aron opens with an aria.

Sitting next to him was [Dan] with his arms crossed and his head buried all the time. After listening to half a sentence, he covered his face with a hood.

"Uh, wait a minute."

Ken reached out and patted the table, "Who taught you this way of speaking?"

"It's great, isn't it? We were born in the north, shining like ice, and an elegant accent should be the basic quality of a magician."

Aron doesn't seem to realize his weirdness.

"This is...cough, a very powerful guardian told me."

He straightened his back confidently and pretended to have a serious expression, but when he mentioned the guardian, he always subconsciously glanced at the woman sitting diagonally across from him out of the corner of his eye.

Selina picked up the tea and sipped it with a slight smile.

By the way, most of the furniture in the room was taken out by Selina from [Lanwu].

This set of exquisite tables and chairs is her private collection. Judging from the leftover steel seal emblem, the maker is a deceased craftsman from a certain kingdom in southern Xinjiang.

Kitty leaned close to her ear and said softly, "You made him make a fool of himself outside, it's really bad."

Selena frowned slightly, and innocently argued: "He just misunderstood."

Ken said to Aaron: "Just use your normal way of speaking. I want to know, is Janzelis going to avenge Tuzhanwa?"

"No, he has been removed."

Aaron replied with a dignified expression and a very soft voice. The contrast between the firelight of the fireplace and the staggered wind and rain outside made people want to tell stories.

Next to him is Dan, the leader of the Hanage scouts.

Both of them sighed at the same time—Tuzanwa was once the youngest war sacrifice under Huoser's command. Even though the bloody incident happened decades ago, until today, the lads of Janzelis still talk about that painful past .

"I want to know, what is the reason why Tu Zhanwa left Huosser?"

Ken had seen the memory fragments of the Painted Ice Apostle, and he wanted to know the details, but he wanted to test Hawser's position even more on the sidelines.

Aaron and Dan looked at each other for a moment, and finally chose to speak out.

"Decades ago, the situation in the southern border countries was turbulent, and the Pistonke Empire had a coup. Among the people who affected the balance of victory at that time, there was a commander called 'Blood Plot', who was determined to assist the new king to ascend the throne , and to steal power from the North."

Dan was older and knew more details.

Palotusbi was very chaotic at the time, and many tribes were frantically expanding their boundaries.

But at that time, it was also the most prosperous stage of north-south trade, and almost all materials could flow unimpeded in mountain roads and wind and snow.

Wusenbu nodded and said with a smile:
"When I was young, I also worked as a smuggler. I hung shoulders with mercenaries and adventurers and made a fortune together. Ah, what a bloody and exciting day."

Aaron glanced at the old man opposite, he had learned about the animal clan.

Wu Senbu's exposed tattoos are medals for hunting frost bears and giant pythons. The clear twisted lines and black marks all reveal his noble status in the tribe.

"So, Piston Ke made a deal with Hawser, what does the other party want?"

Ken guessed based on the memory fragments.

"Magic crystal mine." Dan nodded, and said angrily, "a batch of precious materials excavated from the ruins, but on the eve of the transaction, Pistonke used tricks to make the warring relax his vigilance and sent troops to attack."

He paused.

"Tu Zhanwa is the only survivor of that battle."

He refused to continue his allegiance to Huosser, started wandering, and worked as a mercenary for a while, but when Janzeres' priests sent people to find Tu Zhanwa, he had already returned to chaos and became the [Apostle of Painted Ice], with his hands covered with blood. blood.

"Zhan Jing once said that he was born in a sea of ​​blood, and he will also return to madness."

Aaron imitated the tone of the old priest of the tribe, and repeated Huosser's previous comments.

Ken looked at the other party: "So, the sneak attack was really because Huosser believed in the rhetoric of the people in southern Xinjiang?"

Dan met his gaze, did not refute, turned his head and continued to stare at the table in a daze.

"It seems so," Ken continued to ask, "Did that guy named 'Blood Murder' pay for his actions?"

Aron shook his head.

Selina suddenly spoke at this time, telling the following story:

"The Pistonke Empire has been revived from the coup, and the decaying dynasty is constantly bursting with vitality, but the commander who turned the tide and supported the new king has faded out of everyone's sight."

She glanced at Ken suddenly with a strange look.

"But there are rumors that he has become the actual ruler of the Pistonke Empire, the black hand who handles all government affairs decisions."

Ken ignored it.

He remained silent, listening to Janzeleth's visitor repeat the already known stories.

But from the conversation, it seemed that Huosser was brooding over the events of the year.

Tu Zhanwa resigned himself to depravity, hoping to find inner peace through killing.

But Huosou has always sent people to pay attention to his whereabouts. Over the years, the wave of Qi Bing apostles has been defeated countless times, and Tu Zhanwa's reputation has become more and more resounding.

"Head up, Dan,"

Ken said quietly. "Tu Zhanwa was able to 'luckily' survive so many years of battle, did it have your help?"

Before the scout leader could speak, Aaron slammed the long table and stood up first to refute.

"You want to say that Janzelis is helping the evil? There are also our allies in those villages that were slaughtered. Do you know what you are talking about!"

"Then why didn't you kill him!"

Ken questioned.

The magic made the wings of his nose flutter, but he could only gnash his teeth, unable to refute.

"We can't do it."

Dan sat in his seat with a depressed expression, a little lost and helpless.

Figure chopping tiles is one of Huoser's heart problems.

There are tribal honors in the northern border, as well as the oath of the gods. Tuzhanwa was once a battle sacrifice of [Janzeres], and when he left, he was a "martyr"—a person who suffered a catastrophe and left with heavy memories.

According to tradition and belief...

As long as Tu Zhanwa doesn't take the initiative to attack the place where the Janzelis tribe is located, Huoser can't send someone to kill him.
