The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 155: The Red River (Part 2)

The military welcome dinner is hardly luxurious compared to the Golden City, but the colleagues in the southeast command post of the Burning Blade Cavalry are solid-minded and good people. The commander, Lieutenant Colonel Summers Sardis, went to the border to carry out He failed to participate in the banquet during his half-monthly routine inspection,,,,, the lieutenant correctional officer is the brother of Bactria garrison captain Sams Sardis, and one of the rare grassroots senior officers in the army. /

A major of the Burning Blade Cavalry Regiment presided over the banquet and expressed a warm welcome to the Royal Camelhawk Knight Mias from the Royal City and Lieutenant Colonel Jona of the Cavalry Regiment. The astrologer secretly looked at the white robe sitting opposite the square table. Pastor, this 16-year-old genius pastor is not lukewarm in his attitude along the way, which makes it difficult to understand what he is thinking about.

According to the command of Emperor Isaiba Ink, Mias’ task is to lead two cavalry teams to patrol the 12 border cities and make an assessment report on the state of combat readiness; Jonah is responsible for the defense of the Ekbatana area , Has the command of three cavalry units. As soon as the banquet was over, the major gathered the two cavalry captains in the teaching field to accept the review of the new commander. Jonah smiled and greeted these battle-tested veterans one by one. Yass showed an attitude disproportionate to his age, and simply waved his hand to accurately call out the names of the captains of the second and ninth cavalry under his command.

There are too many new names coming into my mind for a while, and Jonah has not had time to add the names and captains of the 4th, 5th Cavalry and 13th Flying Cavalry. The review is over. The major is here. A neat and clean dormitory is arranged in the barracks at the back, and VIPs from afar are invited to rest early.

After freshening up, lying on the hard bed with a plop, the astrologer stared at the ceiling in a daze: "What a messy day...Asai, how do we arrange tomorrow, are you leaving here to go to Veda? It’s said that you can walk to the border in an hour from here, and it’s only a day’s drive to the Vedic capital Mahura Gha. I think I can help you find a carriage."

The oriental man lay on the camp bed next to him, resting his hands on the bed and said leisurely: "Today is the 12th, and tomorrow is the 13th. I haven't reached the peak state yet, so I am not in a hurry to leave. You are not going to Ekbar. Tana, do you mind if I join in the fun."

"Huh, I don't mind..." Jonah secretly let out a long breath and put down his heart that had been hanging for a long time. This is the end of the journey that Asai and him have together, and the Easterners may leave at any time. I have experienced a lot of things these days. This secret-filled oriental is a good erudite, interesting, and credible partner. Jonah would like to spend a few more days with him,

"That's right, right." Suddenly, Asai sat up with bright eyes, "How about we fly over on a camel eagle tomorrow? Your thirteenth flying cavalry team has a lot of strong camel eagles, fly If you want to go to Ekbatana, you should be there in a little while."

The astrologer hesitated and said: "Is it a camel eagle? Even though I have heard about it, I haven't seen what they look like. Can they fly long distances."

The Oriental slapped the bedboard: "Of course, the flying cavalry raid is Tochar's ace of war. Imagine the wonderful feeling of flying in the sky... Don't you want to try flying in your life."

"Well, right..." Jonah thought to himself that the "Clap Henry II" aircraft had exhausted all his life's curiosity about the sky, and replied ambiguously,

After a long silence, the third-level astrologer suddenly asked: "Oh, yes, who is that old monk? It seems that the major seemed a little awkward when he asked him, and he didn't want to say more."

Asai smiled triumphantly: "Hey, I specifically asked a few soldiers to ask. There is a conflict of religious beliefs here. Punjab was originally a Buddhist city. After the Tocharo government, some people converted to the Lord God. Luta, but Buddhist believers are still the mainstream. Since the Vedas were conquered by Brahma, a large number of Buddhists built small villages around Punjab City across the border and settled down. This city has become the only remaining Buddhist holy land on the mainland. There are 3,000 soldiers stationed in two large camps inside and outside the city. Most of them are recruited from the local area. They believe in Buddhism. However, Tocharo’s state religion is the Anglican Church and does not recognize other beliefs, so the commander of the troops can only stay open. I close my eyes and ignore these heretics. That old monk is an amazing guy. He was the former abbot and elder of the Great Prajna Temple of Mashuluoga in the Vedah Kingdom. The main **** Luta came to the same person in the world. I don’t know why he went to Bactria. Maybe he was discussing with the emperor about resisting the Vedic kingdom, but in this city, he is more powerful than the mayor. People, there are countless people willing to dedicate their lives by hooking their little finger. By the way, the armed force of Buddhism is called Garan, just like the warrior called Zuta, but the spells he practiced seem a bit strange..."

"Oh oh, the power of faith...is great." As the journey approaches the mysterious ancient country, familiar terms about Yakon are getting more and more, and Jona can't help but think of the tall and thin and silent partner. , The man who traveled all over the world to recreate the body of Saraswati, where will he be now,

The oriental man sat on the edge of the bed happily, "Speaking of flying, have you ever seen the legendary steamship "Cripple Henry"? I heard that it was parked outside the city of gold, but I didn’t It’s a regret for a lifetime to see it with my own eyes... By the way, Queen St. Boren and Queen Bazelal are also temporarily staying in the Harimayan Palace. Didn’t you go to salute? Have you seen the queen before? , What a great thing a woman can manage a country. I want to update my dream. Now my dream is to sit on a steamship and enjoy a rich afternoon tea with the queen. Strawberry cake is indispensable. But hazelnut muffins are also good. Do you like muffins? There is a muffin shop in Redstone Fort St. Boren which is a godsend. It is so delicious that you can swallow the wrapping paper. I don’t know if it is still there now. If unfortunately destroyed by the Zawi, then the entire continent will miss a wonderful thing..."

"...There are still many things that I missed." Jonah shook his head, thinking that after Rose Rose, a member of the Royal Family of St. Boren, self-mutilated, I don't know how much waves have been caused inside the Halli Mayan palace. Maybe it’s one of the reasons why the Queen didn’t attend the celebration dinner.

Seeing that his partner has no interest in chatting, Asai closed his mouth depressed, "Come on, I won't tell you, go to bed, while your weird attackers are still in Bactria and haven't come with you, well. Take a break."

The oriental blew out the candle, pulled up the thin and closed his eyes. The astrologer lay for a while, feeling not sleepy, and Rose Rose’s words rang in her ears. She said that the next reminder will appear when she reaches the southeast border, then Where is the hint,

Tossing over and over and unable to sleep, he simply slipped on his slippers and wore his pajamas to walk outside. This building is a dormitory for officers. The two-story platform built with white columns and vaults looks very elegant, with few stars. There was a cool breeze. It was a pleasant evening. There was a tall figure standing by the railing. I don't know whether it was Zarin Cooper or Zarin Kut's second lieutenant. He stood upright and saluted the officer, "Good evening, Lieutenant Colonel."

"Good evening, Zalinku... Lieutenant." Jona said vaguely, hoping that the other party did not hear the last word that was deliberately vague,

Along the way, one of the two ensigns has been guarding his neighbourhood, and the astrologer suddenly remembered what Asai said, the protector of the ghost’s left hand "may be on the opposite side." Reminiscent of what Miss Rose once said. : "They have the right to answer any of your questions." Jonah decided to make a trial,

"Are you the warrior of the ghost's left hand, Lieutenant." He asked bluntly,

"Yes, Jona, the betrayer's successor." The ensign replied simply and rudely, without a knock,

Jona was taken aback for a moment, "The other ensign..."

"So does he." The old man said blankly,

"The ‘ugly face’ Liche and Zutta, are they here." Jonah mentioned a familiar name,

"They are on the road and will be there after Bactria makes a blockade." The second lieutenant said still expressionlessly,

"No, Miss Rose said that there will be three warriors to protect me. You two plus Liche and Zutta, isn't that four?" Jona scratched his head,

The second lieutenant stared at him hollowly, then beckoned, one door opened, and the other second lieutenant walked out. Jonah hadn't noticed before. The eyes of these two people were lost as if they were lost. Vitality, like the eyes of a dead fish, Zarin Cooper and Zarin Kut stood side by side, holding hands together, suddenly the body of the man on the right began to soften, melt, like a viscous liquid. Flowing out of every gap in the uniform,

"Ah." Jonah yelled in horror, and took two steps back to cover his mouth, "What's going on."

In a flash, there was only a loose set of clothes left on the ground. A second lieutenant was absorbed into the body by the other through the palms held together. The stiff man's appearance remained unchanged, but his eyes became more flexible. , "Zalinku." He stepped forward and amicably extended his right hand to Jona,

"Uh, D. Jonah II, a third-level astrologer..." Jonah hesitated to stretch out his hand, daring not to touch him. The nightmare scene just now gave him a huge shock, "You are Say, Zarin Kut and Zarin Cooper..."

"It's all me." Zalinku nodded, ",, to be precise, part of me, I am the heir of ancient blood from Quvisti, this is my ability, don't be afraid."

Jonah was holding his head with a splitting headache: "How can it be possible that you can split into two people, and the two can act, speak, and think separately."

Zalinku glanced at him strangely: "Who told you I can split into two people."

Yonaki said: "But you just said it."

The second lieutenant shook his head: "The split is true, but not two." He waved behind him, a door opened, and a short fat man in a school officer uniform walked out. Jonah recognized him. This man was right. He was one of Mias’s four men, a newly promoted officer who was selected by the royal warrior and he couldn’t help but collapsed and said: "No way..."

The chilling scene was staged again. The stocky officer walked to the second lieutenant’s side and shook hands. In a short time, it turned into a viscous fluid and merged into Zalinku’s body. Another set of military uniforms was sluggish to the ground like a snake. , "Zarin." A man with a noticeable change in appearance stretched out his right hand in a friendly manner,

The astrologer looked at the strange man in front of him with fear: "This is not your original appearance, right, what should your name be?"

"Zha." One-half of the men smiled, "The other half of me is in Bactria, and I will come to meet you later."

Standing blankly for a while, Jonah turned and walked to his room, leaving a sentence: "I think I need to rest,...bye."
