Chapter 55 The Final Interlude (End of this volume)

It was a crazy night for Herme.

When he woke up from the big velvet bed, Hermey saw his wife's beautiful and smooth back, and then subconsciously recalled it.

Yesterday was a completely crazy night.

Although it was her first time, as a woman who often fought on the battlefield, Katya quickly adapted to it.

Then Hemei realized the power of those long legs, and Count Sazhaburg felt like he was in a state of ecstasy.

So they struggled very late, and at the most intense moment, Hemei suspected that the entire Sazha Fort had heard their voices.

Hermey was still a little concerned about the impact at the time, but she quickly put these thoughts aside. Who cares, someone might be listening outside the door now, it doesn't matter.

But now, Hemei suppressed her inner desire. After all, it was Katya's first time. The days were still long, and there was plenty of time to do that kind of thing.

So he kissed Katya's hair. The black hair exuded fragrance, and then his forehead. At this moment, Katya woke up.

The black eyes were full of shyness. At this moment, Katya no longer had the indifference she had during the day. Hermei felt that there was almost love in those eyes.

Katya recalled the madness last night, ah, this is really...

Involuntarily, she touched her belly. She seemed to be able to feel the presence of seeds. She hoped that these seeds could take root and sprout, and she would get up early and give birth to a child for Hemei.

"Okay, don't be stunned, it's time to show the sheets."

Herme started to put on her shirt, and Katya also started to put on her clothes. They were both martial arts practitioners, so even though last night was crazy, it had little impact on their actions.

However, despite her quick movements, a look of pain still appeared on Katya's face. After all, it was she who suffered the pain of breaking the melon.

And Hermey also noticed his wife's expression. He touched Katya's head as a comfort, and then, an extremely rare thing, Katya's face showed the comfortable expression of a caressed cub.

Next, the two of them pulled the sheets off the bed together. Looking at the red stuff, Katya couldn't help but become shy, and the shyness on her face became even stronger.

But the steps still have to be taken, and this is the last step for them to complete their wedding.

In tradition, displaying sheets is to show that the married lady is a virgin.

In northern society, although virgins are as rare as unicorns, the more so, the more emphasis is placed on this.

This is especially evident in marriages between nobles.

According to Hemei's knowledge, some nobles would smear some other blood on the sheets to avoid embarrassment, but Hemei had no such embarrassment at all. This was his "masterpiece".

When Herme and Katya spread the sheets on the balcony together, everyone who had been waiting for a long time cheered, because this was the last step of the marriage. At this point, Herme's wedding was officially over.

Many people were happy about this, especially the subjects of Hemei. The marriage of their ruler meant the birth of offspring, and the birth of offspring meant smooth inheritance.

A smooth inheritance means avoiding wars and turmoil, and means that the interests you gain will not be infringed upon. This is a good thing that everyone expects.

Of course, there are exceptions for those who are afraid of the world being in chaos. Those conspirators and ambitious people will never rest in peace.

Next, what everyone expects is of course that Katya will give birth to a child with Hermei blood. The boy is undoubtedly the best.

Because a boy represents a stable inheritance, it means that everything in Sazha Fort is inherited and maintained, and everyone is extremely welcome to this.

Hemei and Katya stood on the balcony, accepting people's cheers. Their faces were full of excitement and pride, and Katya's face was a little shy.

There is no doubt that Sazha Fort will inevitably move towards a more prosperous era in the future.

Everyone here believes in this.

.

When the extremely grand banquet in Sazha Fort ended, in the distant grasslands, a defeated warlord was lamenting in a cave.

This cave is very large. It was once occupied by a Harklan tribe and became their home for survival. For this reason, they transformed many parts of the cave to make it more suitable for habitation.

However, hiding in caves did not allow them to avoid the disputes on the Hacklan grassland. The tribe was attacked after all, and they failed to stop the attackers.

According to Harklan tradition, everyone in the tribe was killed and their heads were piled into the Jingguan.

Since then, the cave has been neglected and is said to be home to powerful monsters.

No one wants to come here. It is said that the monster was attracted by the corpses, and since then this cave has become a place of death.

Until a defeated warlord led his team here, they killed the basilisk that was entrenched here, and then began to rest in this cave.

These people don't take killing monsters seriously. For the men of Hacklan, fighting against monsters is a part of life.

Now, there are roughly three to four hundred people scattered in the cave, many of them have wounds on their bodies, and the herbal doctors accompanying the army are treating these wounds.

A gloomy atmosphere filled the army. Those who had not yet been injured were warming their clothes by the fire. They had been soaked in a lot of rain before.

Now they were just happy that at least they had a cave to hide from the wind and rain, and the pursuers outside were forced to stop their pursuit because of the rain.

These nomads didn't know how their leader found this place where they could escape the storm tonight.

Although there was a monster, as soon as everyone rushed forward, the guy fell down.

Monsters cannot fight against humans after all. Although they are powerful, they are just beasts.

The monster's lair is now occupied by humans, and humans are very happy. At least they don't have to move forward in the rain, otherwise there will probably be fewer people here.

No one knows what the chief who brought them here wants to do, but basically everyone here is die-hard loyal to the chief.

In any case, just follow the chief. As for what will happen tomorrow, they are all ignorant.

The chief who led this army was none other than the chief of Harklan, Kotaian, who had invaded the land of the Cossacks.

Sitting by the fire, Ke Tai'an was roasting the mutton brought by the guards. Only some salt was sprinkled on the mutton, and the mutton smell was very strong, but Tai'an didn't care and just stuffed it into his mouth.

When Ke Tai'an glanced at the crowd, everyone lowered their heads in fear. Although they had been defeated, everyone was still afraid of the "cannibal".

This made Ke Tai'an very satisfied. His subordinates still maintained fear, which was good. He was eating people to maintain the fear of his subordinates.

And that awe is still there, which is good.

But although Tai'an looked stable on the surface, he had a lot on his mind. He was recalling his experiences over the years.

Since returning from the land of Cossacks, he has annexed many tribes and wealth, but he has also become the target of siege.

Although everyone accuses them of betraying the alliance, and everyone often betrays the alliance, it is very rare for people like Ke Tai'an to sell so many allies and then kill them all. Even in Hakkalan, whose moral character is already very low,

This is also very rare.

So everyone happily launched a siege on Ketai'an. It was difficult to find such a good siege target, so everyone was very active and almost launched a siege on Ketai'an one after another.

Originally, in Ke Tai'an's view, he had tricked so many tribes to death this time, and it would take some time for others to snatch the things left by the unlucky ones, enough to cultivate themselves, but he still intentionally or unintentionally underestimated the greed of the grassland tribes.

.

After all, it is always more profitable to rob directly than to rob the pasture, and everyone is doing both things at the same time, and they will have a tacit understanding to put aside the pasture dispute for the time being, and then attack Ke Tai'an together.

In their view, Tai'an had tricked so many tribes, and since he was already the master of a large tribe, the resources in his hands would definitely be enough for everyone to make a fortune.

But Tai'an blocked the initial siege and strung the heads of the defeated on the battlefield as a deterrent to the defeated.

Unfortunately, just when he thought everything was about the same, it was not the end, it was just the beginning.

The enemy launched attacks continuously. As if they smelled blood, the wolves on the grassland launched continuous attacks on him, one after another.

But Tai'an can win once or twice, but three times, four times, five times or six times is another matter. The enemies are always coming in a steady stream.

But Tai'an continued to win, but his power became weaker and weaker. After all, the war seemed to be chasing him.

The constant losses and the flight of personnel made him look more and more like a loser, and his power was increasingly weakened.

But Tai'an could not settle down in one place, so he could only move the tribe around. Naturally, the migration could not allow the tribe to recuperate, and the people of the entire tribe became more and more undisciplined.

Under such circumstances, in the end, Tai'an was defeated. He was defeated by the coalition forces of various tribes, and then the entire tribe dispersed, leaving only these three or four hundred people around him.

He was lucky because those greedy wolves fought to rob his tribal assets and gave him a chance to escape, otherwise he would not have been able to escape at all.

And when he was desperately wandering on the grassland, avoiding the pursuers, he received a letter, which was brought by a crow.

That crow made Ke Tai'an feel strange. His intuition told him that this was no ordinary crow. The color of the crow's eyes was dark red, which undoubtedly showed that it was extraordinary.

The letter brought by the crow led him here.

Normally, he would never believe this information, but now his identity was different, so he went to the place mentioned in the letter and came to this cave.

"Chief, I have just counted them. There are still 359 people left. Most of them can continue to fight."

The guard with a steel mask reported the news. This news made Ke Tai'an feel sad, but he definitely couldn't tell it.

The personal guards were still respectful and could not see the changes in Ke Tai'an's psychology at all. Even if they could see it, they would not say a word because they were Ke Tai'an's die-hard loyalists.

"Well, I understand, let's continue working."

But Tai'an really lamented that he used to have more than 5,000 cavalry, but now he only has more than 300 people. The contrast is really too great.

He remembered that desperate battle. He faced tens of thousands of people, and no matter how brave he fought, he was unfortunately defeated in the end.

Chief Harkland feels a little desperate. Although there have always been many examples of desperate counterattacks on the grassland, he is now a public enemy on the grassland. It will be difficult to win over people.

Moreover, if he goes out for activities, he may not be immediately besieged.

Then, he remembered the letter that led him to this place, but Tai'an took out the letter and read the words on it.
To be continued...
