Volume 3 Chapter 1
Pacifying The Rebellion
Aiwa sat between Kayseri and Beria, harmonizing his breath to calm the surging blood. Since having s.e.x with Kayseri caused his blood to act crazy, he had no choice but to use the vein expansion method to bring relief to his veins. Big beads of sweat poured down his back and forehead.
Right now, a woman’s shrilling yell came from outside the tent, rather than to say it was yelling, it would be better to describe it as demonstrating.
[Kayseri, quickly get out for me!]
Kayseri had no need to think, from that yell she could already make out who it was.
[I’ll go out to take a look.]
Kayseri quickly wore her clothes, she was clear about the exterior circ.u.mstances; a thousand Tanzya soldiers had already a.s.sembled outside the Generalissimo’s tent: Naturally, those soldiers were all under Lumen’s command.
And regarding her private soldiers? Kayseri didn’t dare to think about that.
[Mama, no need for you to go out, let me handle this mad disciple!]
Looking at Beira, Aiwa was amazed, this minor humble child unexpectedly had this much courage. He didn’t know how much energy was in Beria’s body, but her determination to stand in for her mother to take up this challenge; this was enough for her to gain Aiwa’s admiration.
Although he was the Tanzyanians captive, Aiwa wanted to help this mother-daughter pair. Confronting a rebel without sufficient power could cause damage to both sides. Naturally, from the pov as Ha.s.s Empire’s frontier small garrison Favargo’s Senior Officer, letting them ma.s.sacre each other may be a good thing.
However, Aiwa didn’t think like that, Tanzyanians were Ha.s.s Empire’s neighbours, although they troubled Favargo from time to time, but, looking at the long term, this tribe has taken the important role of local guardians, standing in as Ha.s.s Empire’s border guards. Since the Wolf Kingdom was at the Southeast and the Aegean Kingdom at the Southwest direction. Although these two countries were unable to threaten Ha.s.s Empire for the time being, but the Tanzya tribe which was situated in the middle zone was very well known for their swiftness, fierceness and bravery, they controlled a long and narrow gra.s.sland zone made up of several hundred li, becoming the buffer point to the attack from these two kingdoms.
The Wolf Kingdom and Aegean Kingdom carried out the same tactics as Ha.s.s Empire, and this often disturbed their tribe’s dealings: Sometimes in order to ask for truce for a short amount of time, they even took the initiative to send all kinds of goods to show friendliness. Regarding these gifts, the Tanzyanians accepted them all without any questions, and in case of needing time, they ignored them and fled towards their territory. That’s the reason why Tanzya wasn’t encircled and annihilated in this sort of continuous plundering circ.u.mstances and the most important reason was that they never killed the goose that lays the golden eggs, they always fought over a little specific property and never brought any casualties.
Outside the tent, Lumen’s female dog kind of yelling could be heard; Kayseri had already predicted such a day like this would come sooner or later. She was always benevolent towards her army, letting a portion of high-ranking military officer’s think she was weak and gullible. Once, her daughter Beira had advised her, that she cannot be lenient towards the opponent, and had to establish a iron fist rule, consolidating her position, then no one would dare to offend the majestic Generalissimo; moreover also draw up an inheritance system, no matter who, if they relied on any other method to usurp the Generalissimo position, then everyone should put them to death.
However, Kayseri couldn’t implement her daughter’s idea, because to establish this kind of system, there was need of support from a strong and powerful military strength.
Beria thought to stand in for her mother and deal with Lumen, but Kayseri stopped her.
Beira was really very small, and still insufficient to face this military coup.
Although Aiwa’s body had stopped expanding, he felt violent pain all over his body. If he was sweating just now due the effect of his expansion method, then right now that violent pain made cold sweat flow down his body.
He continued to operate his dou qi within his body, if he could transform the energy he gained from Lucy, Lumen and Kayseri’s body and absorb a portion of them into his body, then this pain would stop.
Kayseri wore her armour, and calmly went outside the tent. In order to avoid getting plotted against, before leaving the tent, she used her perception ability to probe and verify the circ.u.mstances outside the tent.
She only felt hostile cold qi outside the tent and didn’t sense any death qi or arrow qi. If someone wanted to shoot her with a bow, then she could clearly sense it.
After Kayseri came out, she saw that her two maids acting as the outer guards were already unconscious due to the opponent’s despicable methods; she guessed that her private soldiers must have also suffered the same evil scheme. If not, barely relying of her 1000 troops, even Lumen wouldn’t have had the courage to challenge her outside her own tent.
Kayseri very calmed made two steps outside the tent, stopping there, her sharp gaze swept through the faces of the soldier’s in front of her. They weren’t her private soldiers, rather only Lumen’s private soldiers; also, Lucy’s men weren’t present here.
However, at this time of crisis, Lucy still showed neutrality, this wasn’t a good sign.
Kayseri thought of looking for her private soldier’s inside this dense ma.s.s of crowd, but she was disappointed.
[What do you think you are doing?]
Kayseri’s voice wasn’t high, when she left the tent; the tent’s surroundings were covered in absolute silence, as if the atmosphere had frozen.
Right now, her voice could reach over the entire barracks, letting every individual clearly hear her voice.
She criticized Lumen and said: [You’re thinking of rebelling?]
However, after looking at the situation before her eyes, she changed her plan, because this sentence had thrown the 1000 soldiers following Lumen into an impa.s.se, making them think that if they fought with her, then the consequences will be too horrible to contemplate.
[Humph! It isn’t about what I want, rather what I think my soldier’s deserve!]
Lumen immediately turned this military coup’s purpose towards everyone’s benefit, this was a General’s trump card, only when seeking benefit for the ma.s.ses could a person receive their support.
[Is that so?]
Kayseri paused; she continued to say with confidence: [Then compared to my soldiers, in what region’s treatment do your soldiers fall short?]
After saying this, her sharp gaze looked straight towards this instigating woman.
[ … …]
Lumen was at a loss for a moment. Her soldiers and Kayseri’s soldiers all received equal treatment, there wasn’t any difference, but she roared again: [You ignore your daughter s.n.a.t.c.hing a man from our tent, that’s not giving importance to me. Not giving importance to me is the same as not giving importance to them!]
[Hehe, so it was like that. Right, Aiwa, the Favargo Senior Officer caught by Wuya, I asked Beira to bring him from your tent. Because I am the Generalissimo, I was thinking over the relations.h.i.+p between Tanzya tribe and Ha.s.s Empire, if we insult a Regional Senior Officer of Ha.s.s Empire, then that would no doubt be making enemies between us and an enemy with a large disparity of strength with us. Then, will our Tanzyanians be able to still exist on this thin and narrow land?]
[Moreover, you keep on saying that you are thinking over the benefits of your soldiers, then, why don’t you let your soldiers enjoy the spoils or war first? The reason why I demanded Aiwa to be brought over from your place is because I thought you might impudently infuriate your soldiers. In my eyes, you are at least a valiant military leader; I don’t want to see the soldier’s rebel, so I have no choice to remove the army authority from within your hands.]
Kayseri’s words had substance, in a short while she had pulled over the hearts of some of Lumen’s hapless soldiers to her side.
[Don’t think you can cause disharmony in our relations.h.i.+p! If you don’t hand over your military leaders.h.i.+p today, then they also won’t let the matter’s rest like this!]
