There is a reason why everyone is so frustrated, because they all know that the stream cannot stop the enemy for long, and their horses are very tired. They cannot run for long, and it is inevitable that they will be overtaken by the enemy.
But Allaire never panicked. This commander always looked like he was sure of victory. No matter how discouraged his subordinates were, he would always be like this, and he was full of energy to encourage everyone.
It was the commander's confidence that gave everyone confidence. If it weren't for this, everyone wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long, but would have scattered halfway.
"Lord Alaire, can we really escape the pursuit of those guys? Akade has sent out all his elites, and their number is so much greater than ours..."
Just when everyone was taking the time to rest and prepare for the next battle, the short figure who had been protected by everyone walked up to Alaire, took off his hood and asked timidly.
Under the hood is a beautiful little black-haired boy, and the silver ring on his hand and the buttons on his cloak undoubtedly indicate his extraordinary status.
"Master Adam, please rest assured that everything will be fine. You just need to cooperate in protection. You are the real Bulgar Khan. You will one day be able to take back everything that belongs to you."
Allaire's tone towards the child was very gentle and full of respect.
From his words, we can know the identity of this person - Adam Dolu, the orthodox heir to the Bulgar throne.
Allaire's words made little Adam obviously relieved. He trusted this father's confidant very much. He had never betrayed the family's trust and treated him quite gently, far less violent than his father.
Next, the commander put on the hood of the Khan's son and concealed his accidentally exposed cross pendant. Aleph called the guards to protect Adam, although he had never doubted that he would be rescued.
But fighting is still possible, so the Khan's sons must be protected.
Seeing the little Khan turning back to look at him step by step, Alaire's eyes became more tender. The shared life and death during this period made his feelings for this child deeper and deeper.
Along with these emotions, his thoughts couldn't help but return to that night of the coup.
Looking back on that night, Aleph couldn't help but lament that Aqad's coup must have been planned and planned very early.
Half of Bulgar's city defense army fell to the usurper the moment the coup began, and the loyal troops were either massacred or trapped, unable to support their khan.
The coup army used extremely rapid speed to control various key points in the city, including towers, military camps, and fortresses... When the Khan discovered the coup, almost half of the city fell into the hands of the coup makers.
There was chaos in Bulgar that night. At that time, people dispersed because of the Khan's promise to redeem his wife, but then they ran into the rampaging coup troops.
The coup forces didn't care about anything. Anyone who stood in their way would be massacred. For a while, the streets were filled with corpses and killings. These killings made the lawless people realize that the time had come for them to do evil in an upright and upright manner.
In just one hour, Bulgar turned into a city of sin, filled with robbers, killings and rapes everywhere.
The coup forces occupying various key points are completely dismissive of all this. In the eyes of these devout frontier believers, the sufferings of these wealthy city people are what they deserve. They will only take action when some fools with unclear ideas try to set fires.
, but that was only because of Akkad's order. The usurper was unwilling to let this great Volga city burn.
The Khan's army was unable to maintain order, and they retreated to the palace in a short time.
Faced with this situation, Khan knew that it would be difficult to fight against the coupists with the power he had. Although the Khan's guards were elite, they only numbered a hundred people.
Even though Akade's father fulfilled his promise and took his servants to join the palace garrison, it was still a drop in the bucket.
And everyone understood that since Akade dared to launch a coup at this time, he would definitely not care about his father's life.
In such a dire situation, the Khan directly ordered Alaire to escape with his son, but the Khan decided to stay and draw attention to them.
Ashraf Khan clearly understands the character of his relative. He must come out to be a torch in the dark night so that all eyes can be focused on him. Only at this time can loopholes appear in his comprehensive and strict blockade.
Alaire naturally understood the seriousness of the situation. He chose to carry out the mission, took away the prince, and rushed to the palace while the main force of the coup army rushed to the palace. He led the selected elite to fight a bloody road, from the place controlled by the forces loyal to the Khan.
The gates rushed out of the city.
Aqad's pursuit will soon follow, sending his minions across the country in search of any trace of the Khan's son.
Soon after, the news of what happened on that night of upheaval spread. The Khan had been killed and his head was hung on the gate of Bolgar. The legalists ignored the patricide of the usurper and began to make plans for him.
He blew the conch.
As for the old man who was loyal to Khan and fought against his son, he also died. Yes, Aqad killed his father. Aleph thought that even he couldn't do such a thing, but he just did it.
.
At the beginning, Alaire and the others could seek refuge in loyal fortress lords or towns. After all, everyone still remembered who caused their relatives to be captured, and who was the legitimate khan.
But after Aqad announced that he would redeem all the captives and sent large bribes to powerful people everywhere, everything became subtle.
Aleph noticed the change in the atmosphere. Originally, he planned to use the son of the Khan as a banner to call on loyalists from all over the country to come to serve the king. But in this situation, it was a blessing that they did not send him to the usurper.
In order to prevent the situation from developing into the worst situation, and to prevent these friends who could win over from completely falling out, Aleph chose to leave Bulgar.
Everyone cooperated with this, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. No one was willing to betray the former master, but no one was willing to face such a powerful winner. This was a good choice for both parties - and
When one day the Khan's son returns as a prince, their retreat will still be to change the family.
Aleph chose to flee to Rus. Among the many rulers around Bulgar, only the monarch of Rus would definitely maintain a hostile attitude towards Bulgar for a long time.
The war has not been over for long, and the Russians will not mind a useful knife being sent to them. This is the orthodox Bulgar heir.
But Akade also thought of this. This parricide was very good at putting himself in another person's shoes. The usurper's lackeys discovered the fleeing team when they passed the border, and then they have been chased until now.
