Chapter 156 Entering Ross
"Really, I didn't expect it to be so easy..."

Riding his horse on the road in Northeast Ross, Aleph couldn't help sighing.

And now, although his subordinates and Khan are all around, there are groups of Ross cavalry in front of and behind their team, but he is not panicked.

This team is now walking on the latest leveled dirt road in Northeast Ross. From time to time, some bones can be seen on the side of the road, and there are even skeletons that have been suspended and floated in the wind.

It's just that these are traces from a long time ago, at least a month ago.

These Ross people lined up very well. Aleph initially thought that what they encountered was just an ordinary Ross army, but the facts told them that they were the elite Ross, and they were also the elite Ross who were waiting for them.

Since the news of Bulgar's coup d'état, the prince of Moscow has deployed an elite of one hundred people on the border, waiting for the entry of Bulgar exiles.

Recalling the scene at that time and the experience at that time, Aleph sighed that the journey went smoothly.

When Mahad's band of traitors withdrew, Aleph had to face the Rus who surrounded them without a word.

Aleph was really nervous when he was in contact with the Ross people. His number of people was insufficient and he was exhausted. Most importantly, he didn't have any reliable armor.

The enemies are fully armed, and I don't know how many enemies are hiding in the shadows. Fighting them is completely like hitting a pebble with a stone.

The Khan's cronies initially thought that there would be more or less trouble, but the fact is that the leader of the Rus accepted them after listening to their words, and said that he would escort them to Moscow.

Then the Khan's cronies knew that these people had been waiting for them here for a long time, and the young man named Rostislav sent them.

Aleph could only lament that the young man was so unfathomable that he had even prepared for their possible exile.

But thinking of the flood that Kashin encountered and the hearty counterattack of the Ross people, he was not surprised. After all, this is a terrifying young man, and Aleph once again resolutely decided not to be his enemy.

The officer headed by these Rus is Vasily Hronsky, the shining knight who is now walking in the forefront, his long-sleeved chain mail gleaming in the sun.

Aleph remembered that this person was sent to them by Ross's traitors during the last expedition to Ross. This person obviously remembered this too, but he didn't say much.

This knight is usually very arrogant, but he is very humble in front of him and the Khan's son, and he is very talkative, but his respect is not because of appreciation, but because of the noble blood of the Dulu family, and he is only a joint .

Aleph remembered that this person once asked his surname, wanting to know which Bulgar nobleman he was, but Aleph told him that he did not have a surname, and that he was just a domestic slave of the Dulu family, and he has made it to this day through hard work.

Although Vasily's face didn't change much, Aleph saw contempt in the depths of his eyes, the contempt of a superior, but on the surface his humility still remained.

And Vasily's deputy, the Gaelic man named Domhnall who always wears a blue cloak, is much more sincere than him.

This man is not only a warrior, but also a poet. Whenever he marches, he will pluck the strings and sing that beautiful poem.

"Where are the flowers? The old things are gone.

Where are the flowers?Don't mention old things.

Or ask about flower traces, the catkin of a quiet woman.

Seeing one after another, it is meaningless to predict.

What is the meaning of Jingnv?The old things have been explained.

What is a quiet woman?Don't forget about old things.

Or ask the virgin, the boy's wife.

Get used to it, make it your own.

Don't ask where the young man should be,
I am heartbroken and dare not forget.

Who can cut the iron clothes in the army?
Triumphant sees no old face,
Left alone on the tomb of Remnant Flower Hill.

In the coming year, we will be busy picking flowers again. "

Just as he was thinking, the poem flowed into his ears again. The Gaelic Ross had a strong accent, but this made his poems full of exotic atmosphere.

The poem seemed to be about a widow mourning the death of her husband in battle, and Aleph was touched, having seen so many such tragedies in his horseback career.

When the poet finished playing the last note, his satchel suddenly twisted.

Then a little black head poked out, it was a little black cat, its eyes looked around curiously, but the rider pushed it back the next moment.

Domhnall always has a little black cat with him, and no one knows why.

After lamenting the Ross people, Aleph turned his attention to the land he had conquered. To Aleph's surprise, only one month had passed since the end of the battle, and the order in Northeast Ross had basically returned to normal.

Yes, it's back to normal, there are no traces of killing on the road, and there are no mobile gangsters.

This is very unusual. In Aleph's impression, the chaos after the war would take a month to eliminate, but looking at the current situation, order was restored not long after the war ended.

After asking Aleph, I found out that shortly after the battle ended, Rostislav sent his elite to conduct a week-long sweep of Northeast Ross, wiped out the bandits and deserters on the battlefield, and made all the people who were ready to move because of the war The village community put away their little thoughts.

Normal economic activity returned as quickly as possible, even immigration.

Under the call of the prince and the promise of tax exemption, many wanderers living in the forest went to the villages that were slaughtered and destroyed.

After all, although the villages are gone, the land developed by these villages is still there, and these homeless people are saved from the pain of development.

Aleph has seen several such villages along the way. After all, the road they took was also the road that the Bulgar army marched at that time. These villages have now regained their vitality.

Different, yes, Aleph felt that Rostislav was very different. This young prince seemed to understand not only the battlefield, but also how to govern and how to develop.

It is very terrifying for such a ruler to become the ruler of Northeast Ross. If he rules this land, it will be a threat to Bulgar...

Out of habit, Aleph couldn't help thinking, but he patted his head the next moment, why bother with this in his current capacity?Now the Khan is the usurper of Akkad, let his mind go.

And thinking of usurping the throne, Aleph couldn't help but wonder if they could get help from that prince, who they could ask for help now.

Although the hope is a little slim, they must also ask, and at worst they must let the Ross people take them in.

With such a mood, the outline of Moscow appeared in front of Alaire's eyes. Looking at the extremely prosperous Christian city, he knew that his destination had arrived.
