Othua's War Banner

Everybody remembers Bituro...

It was as if he had taken control of the voice overnight.

Bituro's official task now is to guard the several mountain passes in the south, aiming knives and axes at the kingdom's army, as well as some blind looters and lacquered apostles.

To the south of Sandun Kaya, a dozen or so small villages expressed their submission.

Initially it was managed by Meng.

He followed Zhan Jing's orders to repair roads, protect the safety of villagers and caravans, and economic exchanges and material circulation were also smooth.

As troubles mount up north...

Meng began to deploy troops to consolidate the defense of Qiuming Ancient Road.

As the leader with the highest military merit, Bituro naturally took over the affairs in the south.

Although conscription was held in Sandton Kaya as usual, but every time Bitullo returned to Sandton Kaya, there would be several strange faces around him.

If anyone asked, Bituro would say that it was a temporary helper.

Beastmasters could smell blood on those people.

Meng also knew that the guys next to Bituro were all bad people, and some even reported to him.

The adjutants next to Bituro were bounty prisoners, and some traders came from the south to lead the team. When they met the soldiers around Bituro in Santon Kaya, they even showed signs of fear.

The reward orders of those people are posted on the streets of the city-state.

There are many mercenaries in Thornton Kaya, and they will remember one or two wanted names when they travel around.

What did Bituro recruit this group of people for?
Meng smelled a conspiracy.

Although Bituro's personal guard was mixed, the army he trained was indeed not bad.

Most of his soldiers are also simple and kind.

Everyone is unaware of his conspiracy, and they are all loyally serving Thornton Kaya.

"He came again today."

There were whispers among the tribe.

Bituro's arrival immediately attracted a lot of attention.

He would have new scratches on his armor every day, until it was about to be worn out, and he would replace it with new trophies. Those southern border equipment had their emblems and seals erased, leaving their own mark in the most brutal way.

Thornton Kaya's Iron Guard sentries and patrolling wolf riders dared not stop him.

Bituro appeared for a short time each time. He sent important caravans to Sandon Kaya, led some escaped or lost adventurers to the tribe's storage and distribution point, and then walked away clapping his hands.

This time is different.

His stay was not short, even a little deliberate.

The signs of an attack from the countries in the southern border are already obvious, and the strength of the troops that have penetrated the Qiuming Ancient Road recently is not quite right.

Meng did not believe that there was no invasion in the south guarded by Bituro. He was able to stay in Santon Kaya safely, either because he had enough confidence in his military deployment, or...

He no longer cares much about how the war spreads.

The fisherman's return to the village was actually inspired by Meng, including himself leading the northern team back to the base camp this time, and there was also an arrangement to prevent Bituro's rebellion.

Thornton Kaya's current development has benefited from the system established by Ken, as well as his reputation outside.

However, the number of new recruits has risen sharply, and there are very few people who have seen the battle banners with their own eyes. Among these people, the most are the mercenaries who defected and the refugees who fled from the Ambera Ice Port.

Ken Bouvier is the spiritual pillar and important core of the tribe.

It is already appalling that he was able to gather a group of troops through prior arrangements, and there is really no way for an unstable factor like Bituro to appear.

Even if he can predict it, it is impossible to solve it remotely.

Kane never showing up is a bad thing for a bloated army.

Meng knew that as long as Zhan Jing returned, he would be able to stabilize the situation and make up for the sense of security that everyone lacked psychologically.

The expansion of Thornton Kaya's forces is too fast.

The Hanqi brothers made resource exchange and trade routes in full swing. Various resources and precious forging materials were brought in. The development and expansion of the Wolf Cavalry was visible to the naked eye.

As the person with the highest military power in the village, Meng enjoys an advantage in equipment distribution.

Bituro's ambition was exposed very early, and it is reasonable to reduce his weapon ratio.

Meng has no experience in controlling the overall situation. Although he has tried his best to maintain stability, it is inevitable that there will be inappropriateness and neglect of details, which is completely incomparable with the level of Zhanjing.

Bituro has spent a long time training in the continent of Osua.

He took advantage of the allocation of resources to do something wrong, led the ignorant recruits to suffer several defeats, and finally led the elite soldiers to kill in time to protect the overall situation.

Compared with the distant battle banner, Bituro is a more real patron saint.

He often hinted at the ignorant recruits, blaming the failure of the battle and the death of the soldiers on the backwardness of the equipment, and used public opinion to point the finger at Meng, who had the best resources in the tribe.

Every time Bituro escorted the team to Santon Kaya, he would go to ask for the team's weapons and armor with great fanfare.

Meng and the beast trainer will compromise and agree at the beginning, and the distribution is reasonable according to military merit.

Bituro's insidiousness gradually manifested. He returned to the camp with a full load of equipment, and used the mouths of some adjutants to package himself as a hero who won benefits.

Sensible riders and scouts brought the news back to Thornton Kaya.

It was only then that Meng realized that he had been put together.

He had no way to spare his hands to deal with the trouble, so he could only continue to reduce his equipment. If Bituro blindly sought failure, he would be able to find a reason to demote him.

But Meng still underestimated the opponent's routine.

Bituro continued clamoring for tribal villages to supply military supplies, turned his head and led the team to fight a few beautiful victories, showing his personal strength and excellent commanding skills.

The army continued to fight in the south, returning only infrequently, and the contact with the village was short.

Meng's continuous refusal became an unpleasant thing under Bituro's command. As the deception continued, the southern army seemed to gradually become Bituro's private army.

"The people of Santon Kaya come from all over the world and have a different belief system from other tribes."

The animal trainer began to analyze the opponent's actions. "Bituluo took advantage of this to cause obvious divisions in the tribe. This way of controlling the army is very similar to the southern border countries. It is a bit tricky, but it is very dirty."

Mengrang scouts watched Bituro's movements.

The anaconda Jura has to go to the hatchery every day to cultivate the eggs.

Many villagers knew about this incident, and the patrol riders and a small number of familiar travelers also began to recognize her.

But she was actually helping Meng gather intelligence.

The means of scouting will arouse Bituro's vigilance, and if Bituro uses it, there may be accidents.

There were frequent battles on the invasion route in southern Xinjiang. He said that the army he led would firmly keep the invaders out. It seemed that the situation was not urgent, but a vague sense of crisis had already pervaded.

As a snake spirit, the anaconda Jura can manipulate not all giant pythons, but also small snakes, and even phantoms condensed by magic.

Palotus is frozen all year round, and the things called snakes are almost all monsters, and they rarely hibernate.

They are active in dark corners, nourished by magic, and it is normal for them to acquire special abilities.

With the help of a rising sacrificial stone and a few drops of animal blood, she was able to communicate with distant creatures.

The offensive of the southern border countries became fierce three days ago.

Bituro's army did not suffer much losses. Although it was stable, it was not as optimistic as he said. On the contrary, it was steadily withdrawing to the ancient road around Santon Kaya, and when it was about to step in, the stalemate resumed.

The soldiers under his command obeyed the orders, thinking that they were protecting the tribe, and the news sent back by the scouts was normal.

Bitullo does not appear to have intended to initiate a mutiny.

But Meng knew that this guy's ambition could no longer be restrained, so he asked Anaconda Jura, a person outside the tribe, to dig out the opponent's conspiracy from other angles.

Jura is the daughter of Usenbu, proud and excellent, and very excited to be entrusted with important tasks.

She seemed to be experiencing an adventure she had never had before, so she was extremely excited and worked very hard.

As long as there is a message from the snake spirit, Jura will run into the hatching room and play magic on the sacrificial stone. place.

There are several main southern roads controlled by Bituro.

As the battle situation on one of them reached a stalemate, Jura began to shift his attention to the other two ancient roads that he rarely cared about.

She used the magic of the beast spirit to control the snake group, and moved her consciousness to the distance continuously. After a long time, Jura found a huge number of southern border troops in the silent night.

……

The mist emitted by the spirit snake condensed into letters and dissipated in the air, leaving no traces on the snow.

A steel combat boot stepped on the dormant ice, making a squeaking sound.

The soldier commander who had already walked past looked back suspiciously.

He didn't find anything strange, then raised his eyes and looked around...

Countless riders and beast monsters kept silent in the night.

The steps they took looked heavy and oppressive in the dim light. The horned helmets were chamfered, which seemed to be a certain characteristic, and the flag hanging down in the night looked very strange.

Thousands of troops are spread across the wide plain, like a pine forest.

These guys are from the same city-state, the closest military base near the Permafrost Wall and Pistonk.

The purple pupils of the commander of soldiers swept across countless horned helmets.

Ice was condensed on his beard stubble, his face was indifferent, and he looked down at his boots again, then continued to use the standard long gun as a trekking pole, and turned to walk in the direction of Qiuming Ancient Road.

"My God!"

Jura's head dropped at a constant speed, the smoke dissipated from his mouth and nose, and he raised his head suddenly.

People in southern Xinjiang already know how to break through the defense line.

The enemy bypassed the tribal coalition forces on the eternal frozen wall, and wanted to try to see if they could find a route deep into the northern border through the ancient Qiuming road.

……

Jura crossed the top of the animal shed and went to give the news.

She took advantage of her figure to leave from a secret passage that only she and Meng knew.

Although night has fallen, Thornton Kaya's patrol force is not a show.

Jura left from the top. From the outside, it seemed that the door valve hadn't changed at all. The lights and catalytic magic streamers were still normal, as if someone was still in the hatching room to take care of the cubs.

At the beginning of the reconstruction of Thornton Kaya, Mon often bypassed his companions.

Under his guidance, Jura avoided the patrolling post along the established route.

At present, most of the tribe is recruits, Zhan Jing is not there, and Lorgar is not there. No one can judge whether the identity of the other party is suspicious through observation like these two people.

Bituro is a despicable guy, he may have a spy, so be careful in everything.

Jura walks through the night.

The main road of the village was bustling with people. Although he was worried, he didn't realize that the danger was already approaching.

Jura suddenly thought:

Bituluo has rich experience in guarding several important main roads in southern Xinjiang. Why did he make the mistake of concentrating his troops and give the southern army a chance to break in?
Unless it's not a bad decision, but an arranged plan.

She walked through the winter houses with firm steps, and when she was about to blow over a fence, she suddenly retracted her body, sticking to the stone-built wall, and then controlled her breathing.

After a moment.

Bituro and two adjutants appeared at the diagonally opposite corner, and walked into the darkness looking left and right.

The incubator belongs to the inner side of the tribe.

Even if Jura passed through the tribe, he would still go to the periphery. It stands to reason that he would not pass by when returning to the barracks normally.

Bituro deliberately took a detour.

This group of people had already fooled the scouts, but they did not expect to meet Jura by chance.

Suddenly, a burst of light came out of the dark corner where Bituro was, and blue magic flashed like lightning across the corner of the lumberyard's utility room, and then a circle of dark magic circles emerged on the ground.

Bituro was cautious.

He turned around and glanced at the quiet passage before walking in with his adjutant.

The light of the magic circle began to shrink, and the teleportation magic created by the magic weapon was not reliable, and the feeling of headache tortured several people.

Bituro cursed and tightened his brows.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a dark army surrounded by a dozen spears and steel swords. The strange environment and the burning brazier were both familiar and strange.

The two strong lieutenants beside him had already grasped their weapons.

Bituro raised his hand to signal his subordinates to relax, and as required, held the stone used to mark the teleportation point in the firelight.

This is the teleportation stone for Thornton Kaya.

Bituro lingered in the village just to have enough time to mark it.

He told his adjutant to relax, and said in a low voice, "The few of us can't beat a black cavalry."

The two swallowed in unison.

Looking at the iconic spirit horse and black flame, they could only follow the orders of the boss.

There was a low, dangerous voice on the wind.

"You came a little early, and you can't hold your breath... This is not a good thing."

The commander of the Heli cavalry appeared in the distance, as if he had been prepared for his arrival, and Bituro's impulse was also being calculated.

Bituro obviously had his own calculations, and said loudly: "I brought the sincerity of cooperation, but I started to regret it. I don't think you have the ability to bring me back to the top."

The young man who spoke laughed.

He approached from the darkness, and the surrounding soldiers respectfully stepped aside.

Ariel Moss's iconic prismatic false pupils shone brightly in his eye sockets, and his straight military uniform exuded majesty, and he signaled the sentries to continue their work with a smile that did not cross the line.

"I'm high on promises, Bituro," Ariel said. "Knights of the Imperial Emblem never break their promises."

Bituro pursed his lips and nodded, but there was suspicion in his eyes. "You said you would leave me an army of your own, but now you want to sneak attack again, I really don't understand what you want."

Ariel shook his head.

"Wrong, sir."

He stared into Bituro's eyes, and said softly: "Now it's time to figure it out, what do you... want?"
