Chapter 166 – 16. Blue Wolf, White Deer (6)
The cavalry, led by the Kamag Tribal Alliance and Unbreakable, galloped through the snow-covered plain without hesitation. It was to break through the enemy lines head-on while Baron Ardennes, who went out first, attracted the attention of the ten tribes.
“Temur, I see the baron ahead.”
“Are you engaged?”
“That’s right. I’m playing catch-up with the ambidextrous.”
A subordinate with exceptionally good eyesight pointed in a certain direction. People who live in harmony with nature usually have bright eyes, but in such a terrible snowstorm, the scattered light made it impossible to distinguish properly.
“How are things around you?”
“Not far away are the Shechen and Oronar cavalry. In the other camp, it seems that the other eight chieftains are just getting together and moving. The ambidextrous is probably dragging their time until they come. The baron is in danger!”
“Trust Romuald, Urwood’s secret magic is excellent, but it’s nothing compared to him.”
“But if the other chieftains come, even the hero of Limousin… !”
“He and I know the weight of the burden on each shoulder. Leaving this opportunity aside and choosing support is a betrayal of that trust. We will go to defeat Hoelun according to our duty.”
Temur, riding a brown horse, tightened the straps of his leather armor. The envoys who attended the baron’s wedding were all strong warriors, the so-called bodyguards who had served since his father his, the great warrior Tamir.
“You understand, gentlemen?”
Dozens of cavalrymen nodded at Temur. It was unbelievable that a leader who was only 19 years old could show leadership. After all, judging from his appearance of being over forty, he did not look like a young man not yet twenty.
“This is Jae Il-woo’s chance. Do not hesitate to move on.”
Temur, who was in the lead, shouted, pointing at the blurry area on the horizon. Even though the fierce snow wind disturbed the vision, there was no way that they could not fail to recognize the place of their tribe, which had decided to settle down until the Sabbath passed.
“All members, full speed ahead!”
“Wow!”
The cavalry of Daejeonsa covered the far-flung snowfield at once. As it is, we headed towards the settlement under the snow mountain where the citizens of Camag and Kassar are staying. Outside the fence, he boldly walked among the soldiers of ten tribes forming an encirclement and attempted to join them.
“The cavalry of Temur! The unbreakable one has come!”
“They come scattered to the left and right! In full defense formation!”
Even though the heads of each tribe and their bodyguards were away, there were still about 10,000 troops in the snow-covered fields. It was realistically impossible for Temur’s cavalry, which had only a few dozen, to break through from the front.
“Gods of Camag, follow me!”
But Temur, the unbreakable, did not stop.
“Hear the traitor and her slaves her! You who go against the laws of heaven, get out of the way!”
“In the name of the great ancestors and benevolent spirits, glory be to the great snow!”
The same was true of the warriors who served him young and young as their leader.
“Stop! Stop them from joining the warriors inside!”
“The disgrace of the great warrior and the deception of that false leader will soon end!”
A fierce snowstorm fell from the sky. On the earth, the lives of those living today vibrated. The valiant cavalry ran across the line between life and death. Then, some were caught in nets, cut by knives, and even fell off horses.
“Chief Sorgal, the one who is not broken right now outside!”
“I saw it too! Warriors of Cassar! Hold on a little longer!”
An epic battle ensued. In a fierce battle, one side tried to step on the land where the tribe had settled. The other side tried to prevent their old chief from joining the base of support for me.
Struggle at the limit of the Far North!
However, casualties were small compared to the momentum of both sides not yielding an inch. Indeed, no one lost their lives, and there were only a few serious injuries, and most of them were only slightly wounded and captured as prisoners.
The reason was simple.
The bonds of the Great Snowfield are very strong. It is the same reason that the three tribes of Mukhali and Kesikte refused to belong to the union but maintained their identity as one nation. Even in a world where survival is the only truth, there are rules that must be followed.
“Are you here too, Temur?”
Amidst the melee, the woman stood tall and looked forward. She glared at her man who was running furiously to the front gate of the residence I was guarding. Following in the footsteps of the great warrior Tamir, he was an unbreakable one, a masterpiece who did not run away from his fate.
“Hoelun, woman chasing the moon!”
Hee hee hee! The brown horse kicked off the frozen ground and soared into the air, making a loud cry. At the same time, Temur, with two axes in his hands, jumped up on his horse with a massive build and landed in front of the heroine of Mukalli.
“Yeah, I thought you would definitely come.”
“How could you, who was kind and wise, forget the cause of the past and cause such confusion?”
“That tongue still seems to be working.”
“I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard that you were the ringleader of the treason. I thought that you, strong and wise, would not commit an atrocity like today, even if you would take a different path from me.”
The two men and women who are closest to the position of chieftain in Danggeumyi Snowfield stood facing each other. It was really messy, and while everyone was hitting and kicking, I only focused on the opponent in front of me and had a conversation. In an atmosphere where a breakup could happen at any moment, the final negotiations were conducted in order to somehow find an agreement.
“What is the reason why the respectable heroine of Mucali raised an army?”
“It must be because you killed the Great Warrior.”
“What do you mean by life? But, as you know, Tamir was my father. I respected him and was proud of him. He is still trying to follow him. For what reason did I harm Tamir?”
The reason for the death of Tamir, the Great Warrior, was the senility caused by the curse.
“How can we, the descendants of an ancient empire, have only one great warrior, Tamir? Above all, it doesn’t matter who is responsible for harming him. I’m asking you to pay for your sins for making their sacrifice a dog’s death.”
Crumpled, Hoelun, who clenched his fist extremely strongly, took a stance. After an impeccable gesture, his whole body was energized. He can attack at any time. And let him know that he will attack at any time.
“Look at what the filthy Gauls have done to us. They caught you and my godmother in a cowardly trap. Even the body could not be found. Until just a few months ago, defenseless children were abducted and sold as slaves.”
Wow! Moving with her invisible speed, she suddenly took her surprise. With her qi-laden fist her, she struck the side of her ax held by Temur, and she cracked her with the blow.
“Keugh… !”
His hands his, which were holding the hilt, throbbed. It was tremendous strength.
“Sansar sister, that fresh and beautiful sea of stars was none other than your older sister. Her pain her is still as vivid as last night when her mercenaries of trash from her frozen land her took several of her young tribesmen hostage and blackmailed her away. But what you chose was a fake peace full of lies and deceit.”
“It is not so…”
“Even pity is a luxury for a man who has abandoned his own people blinded by his ambition. Nothing in our lives has improved since you took the leadership position. I just watched the installation, saying that a person without blood and tears would not be broken.”
Fault! Hoelun stepped out again. With a neat regime without superfluity, he repeatedly hit Temur’s two axes. And finally, when it showed signs of being broken, it turned into a full-scale offensive.
As if it was no exaggeration to say that it was an iron fist, a fist as strong as a lump of iron, he gradually pressed him with his body his, which was like a weapon.
“I am different from you. I will rise to the position of Katun regardless of means and methods, even for the sake of my poor fellow countrymen. We will reorganize the coalition around Mukhali and establish a nomadic empire.”
“For what?”
“For the lost glory.”
“What is the honor worth?”
“With the blood, sweat and tears of this Hoelun as the cornerstone, I will never be trampled under foot again!”
It was a fierce battle as much as an argument. Like spears and shields, the two people who competed according to their respective strategies continued to raise their voices. I added the level of blows exchanged.
“You speak like someone who has never experienced the horrors of war. You talk as if you haven’t heard the songs of those who are deeply grieving the loss of a family member, lover or close friend.”
“Sacrifice is inevitable in everything.”
“If your abilities are so outstanding, what is the point of making such sacrifices?”
“I’m not like the idiots who just keep their positions hidden behind hierarchy and fame. If it helps, I will share it with everyone, and if it hurts, I will bear it alone.”
Little by little, little by little more.
“It is not right to risk a war by getting caught up in personal feelings. It is something I would absolutely refuse even if it was because I felt sorry for the life I would lose because of it. That is why I was trying to bring about harmony between the great snowfield and the frozen land.”
“You fool, what you say is nothing more than a sham ideal.”
“No, actually, I almost succeeded! If only Mucali’s heroine had gone mad with a sense of mission and hadn’t joined hands with Ruth!”
It was at one point.
“You speak well of things I don’t understand. Did you think that you could avoid my challenge with such a false name? If so, that’s a huge misunderstanding. What a complacent way of thinking.”
Thud! Temur suddenly set his ax down on the floor. Perhaps she wants to see a fair match against the woman who had the same dream, but she disarmed and revealed that she had no intention of attacking.
After that, I looked at her with her infinitely deep and serious eyes, and my brain went black.
“All wars are tragedies. Please don’t let your power struggles with me split this snowfield in half. If we really need to compete, I will apply for a duel according to the laws of the Great Snowfield.”
“Do you think I would accept such a ridiculous offer?”
“You will receive it. If you win, this Temur himself will convince Sorgal and lay down everything from Kamag and Kasar. I will hand over the whole position of the unbreakable to the woman who chases the moon. Then you will be our warchief. Go ahead and take the seat of Cartoon.”
It was an unexpected proposal. Hoelun sent her suspicious glances, then she asked cautiously.
“… If you win, then what?”
“I will not ask you to step down as chieftain of Mukkali. There will be no one like you as their leader. However, from now on, all pending issues in the great snowfield will be decided through me. Whatever choice the other tribes make, you support me. Not only the alliance with Gaul, but also the foreign policy towards Rus.”
After hearing the conditions, there was no reason to refuse. Even if it’s not right away, if the fierce battle continues like this, there will be casualties someday. The duel devised by the old boss of the younger generation was a rather neat solution.
“Is that all? Anything else besides that?”
“There is one more.”
“Speak.”
“If you lose, I will take responsibility for making your dreams come true.”
“You’re going to take the Khan’s seat for me?”
Temur shook his head. He also dreamed of establishing the country again to realize the glory of the old empire. However, what he said at this point was a more sophisticated and secondary confession.
“Cartoon doesn’t necessarily mean only the empress.”
“Hey, you can’t…”
The mistress of the empire, what they call the empress.
“If this body wins, please be my companion.”
In short, the unbreakable man challenged the woman chasing the moon to a duel in marriage.
