king of ros

Chapter 155
"My lord, my lord, they are coming!"

Hussein, dressed in black robes, came hastily, the squire who was now the scout of the team, and told his master the news of the enemy.

"Really? Then let's prepare, everyone hides and prepares to fight!"

Aleph's team was indeed an elite division. Even though their morale was low, they moved extremely quickly under the command of their commander, occupying the surrounding areas that could provide cover and leading their horses to hiding places.

And just a moment later, the pursuer arrived.

It was a group of Bulgar riders holding bows, all of them were wearing light armor, and their number was obviously much larger than that of Akkad.

Many people were covered in water. It seemed that they were quite embarrassed when they passed the stream before, and their expressions were quite unkind now.

"About 70 people, damn, why are there so many?"

Hussein said in a low voice, and was immediately reprimanded by Aleph to shut up. The commander's current mood was just as bad as Hussein's tone expressed.

The people on Aleph's side are all in the same mood, but their badness is not because of death, they are not afraid of death, but because they are afraid that they may not be able to keep the Khan's son.

"Master Aleph, can you come out and talk?"

Just when the guard of the Khan's son was thinking about how to delay time, he remembered a familiar voice, which made Aleph smile with hatred on his face.

It's the traitor, Mahad.

Aleph remembered this guy. He was the commander of an important tower in Bulgar City. If he stuck to his post, the coup army would never be able to control the city so quickly, but he rebelled.

And he also killed Aleph's friends, Aleph's comrades-in-arms, and hung their heads on spears during the mutiny.

And most importantly, this guy has a very good relationship with Aleph, he is someone he trusts, and was given such an important responsibility under his recommendation, his betrayal is undoubtedly a personal betrayal of Aleph.

Since you came to persuade me to surrender, that's just fine.

The commander thought, then I'll just do what I can.

"Mahad, it seems that you have made a fortune, and that betrayal seems to have made you a fortune."

Aleph stepped out of his bunker and looked at the traitor. Mahad was a man of medium build with a loyal face. Everyone would automatically think that he was a reliable person.

Mahad's attire is much richer than his usual ones. He is wearing a good horse from Arabia, and he is dressed in colorful silk and satin. On his finger is a gemstone ring, and even the bow and arrow They are all carved with various textures.

"Master Aleph, I just changed my position wisely."

Facing the sarcasm, Mahad didn't feel any annoyance, and remained calm, just like he usually does.

"I think you should do the same. Khan has already said that as long as you hand over the son of Waste Khan, you can regain everything you deserve, and more things will be given to you."

The reason for Akkad's coup was that the Khan had acted mischievously and violated the Islamic law, so he deposed the Khan. At the same time, the Islamic legalists who faced money and machetes also recognized this statement, and put the usurper on the law of religion from religion. coat.

"Do you think I'm a traitor like you?"

Aleph noticed that Mahad's men were moving, taking advantage of the position, and he unfortunately couldn't do anything, if he reacted, the battle would start immediately which was not what he wanted to see.

"Of course you are not a humble person like me, Lord Aleph."

There was a look of humility on Mahad's face, as if he was still Aleph's subordinate, and this made Aleph's disgust skyrocket, and his betrayal came to mind when he saw that face.

"You are a famous Bulgarian general. A hero like you will definitely make the right choice. Moreover, Khan said that if you are willing to surrender, he can even give you Suvar."

These words really moved Aleph's heart, Suvar, that is the second largest city in Bulgar, and the usurper dared to use it as a bargaining chip.

It's just a pity that Aleph's vacillation only lasted for a while. Suvar is certainly tempting, but God knows if that Khan will really keep his promise. He has caused countless troubles for that guy.

But he couldn't turn his back on him yet, just when Aleph was about to continue talking trash and dealing with this person, he suddenly saw Hussein giving him a gesture.

The meaning of the gesture caught Alaire subconsciously, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"Mahad, I can give you a showdown. I will not surrender, let alone hand over the Khan's son. You and your usurper master go eat shit."

Alaire's sudden refusal stunned Mahad for a moment, why is he still negotiating just now... Then he was stunned again, and immediately became ferocious, realizing that he had been tricked, and all that was just to delay time!
"In that case, let's go to war!"

"No, no, how can we start a war, especially here, friends in the forest, please come out."

Just when everyone thought that the battle was about to start, Aleph said in a leisurely tone, which made everyone at a loss. What is going on with this man?

And then, everyone's doubts were solved.

Because at the end of the words, countless walking soldiers stood up in all directions. At worst, they were armed with armor and leather armor, and there were many warriors in iron armor.

"This is Rose's territory. We have crossed the border now, so are you going to fight here? Mahad."

The triumphant smile on Aleph's face could no longer be hidden, he had made such a big circle for this moment, just for the present.

The Khan's confidant had fought on the Rus-Bulgar border for many years, and during that time he had scoured the land, knowing many dangers and places suitable for ambushes—like crumbling wooden bridges.

Now that he has explored all over this land, how could he not know where the Ross patrol is stationed and where it must pass?

"You bastard!"

Mahad looked at the Ross people who didn't know when they surrounded them, the expression on his face was too bad, he was fooled, he was completely fooled.

If the battle starts now, only a few "accidental injuries" are needed, and these Ross people will inevitably be involved, and it will be a major diplomatic accident by then.

In normal times, such an accident would not matter, but now, with nearly [-] Bulgar prisoners in Rose's hands, it would be too bad if he did this, and Khan would definitely use him as a scapegoat at that time.

"You're great, Aleph, but the Ross people can protect you for a while, but they can't protect you for a lifetime, and their purpose is very obvious. Take that kid with you, but as long as you dare to set foot on the land of Bulgar, we will would have killed him."

Mahad said viciously while turning his horse's head, but Aleph was completely indifferent to these words.

"I already knew..."

Then he turned his head to look at the approaching Ross, ah, there are still troubles to deal with here, but at least it is not fatal.
