Chapter 231 Fatal Attraction
"Yes, my lord, I will definitely complete the task!"

Zoltan reassured Janos that his words were very firm, and he couldn't do without firmness. He had already failed once, and he couldn't fail again this time.

Janos has never been tolerant of losers, and his methods of losers are even more cruel, that is, to dig up bones and flesh as sacrifices alive, in the name of dedicating their souls to the gods. Bliss in the paradise of the gods.

Even Zoltan, as the old priest, could not avoid such a punishment—an old fritter like him would not believe that nonsense—after all, the prestige of Janos, the chosen one, had surpassed all the priests.

Zoltan's prestige couldn't keep himself at all, and even his subordinates thought it was for Zoltan's good, and then they sent him up as a sacrifice very enthusiastically.

But Zoltan was regretting in his heart, why he didn't hint more clearly at that time, and why the part he set was more obvious.

But things have passed, and the past cannot be changed. The only thing that can be done now is remedy.

Zoltan came in front of those nomads. Although these nomads gathered again at this moment, they were all downcast. After all, they had experienced such a defeat before, and so many people saw their heroic escape. Shame on me.

It's too embarrassing to be left here like a waste, no matter how thick-skinned people are, they can't help it, so they can only stay where they are in such a depressed state.

Looking at these frustrated cavalry, Zoltan's solution was very simple. He directly told these people that they were entering the city to rob.

Moreover, they still robbed the palace, and their morale was mobilized in an instant.

People participated in the war just to grab food and money. Now the opportunity to rob the richest place in the whole country is in front of them. How could they not be moved? This immediately mobilized their morale, and then rushed to the city.

Rostislav saw Zoltan entering Fechshwar with nomadic cavalry, and they filed in through the gates under his internal control to reinforce the battle for the palace.

And the prince was not at all happy about the reduction in the number of enemies in front of him. Those losers were not included in Rostislav's combat power, but their going to the city might cause some bad influence.

For example, let the city misunderstand that the troops outside the city have been eliminated, thus losing combat awareness, and finally led to the massacre of the Christian princes in the palace.

and many more.

Rostislav suddenly had some different thoughts in his heart, some dark and dark thoughts that he hid in the deepest part of his heart and would be suppressed immediately once they came out:

If the uncles were dead, wouldn't he become the ruler of all Rus?Didn’t Rose’s supreme authority just fall into his hands?
And he doesn't need to do much, he just needs to leave here with the troops under his control, return to Rose to wait for the death of his uncles, and then take over their territory.

This is a god-given opportunity.

Rostislav's unavoidable heartbeat, after all, only one betrayal is needed, and then the whole of Rose can become his own, who wouldn't be heartbroken?

As long as the troops are withdrawn, everything will belong to him, the throne of his father, the throne of his grandfather, the throne of the princes of Rurik...

These thoughts are like the poisonous snake (that is, Satan) who tempted Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, hovering in the mind of the prince of Moscow, and it will be difficult to dissipate for a long time.

Those poisonous words are like honey at the moment, tempting him to make that choice, and his bottom line called morality is getting weaker and weaker under the corrosion of this poisonous honey.

At this moment, Rostislav somewhat understands why so many people in history choose those choices that will be despised by future generations, and may even become a life-long stain.

Because it was too, too tempting, and the supreme power was right in front of us, and how many people were willing to refuse it cruelly.

Moreover, the monarchs of Hungary and Poland will die, Boleslaw has no heirs, and the adults of the Arpad family are afraid that they will be wiped out here.

These two countries will inevitably fall into chaos in the future. He can expand these countries, or even annex them, and do things that his ancestors could not do...

Rostislav was so engrossed in his thoughts that he even ignored the battlefield, forgetting that he was directing a brutal fight.

He even began to fantasize about what he could do after sitting on the throne of Kyiv, what kind of ruler he could be, and what kind of influence he could bring to future generations.

Until Jan shouted Rostislav's name with his loudest voice, the monarch who was immersed in his own ambition world finally woke up, he looked at his old friend with some puzzled eyes, what happened——Ros Dislav was so stuck that he didn't know what he was supposed to do and where he was now.

And Yang looked at Rostislav in disbelief, when is this and you can still immerse yourself in your own world like a normal person?
But Yang didn't struggle with this for long, now is not the time to think about these things, the current war is raging.

And Rostislav also noticed his gaffe, and quickly returned to normal, because what happened now was more important.

"Lord Rostislav, look over there."

Looking along Yang's palm, Rostislav suddenly found that the left wing of the pagan army had killed a large army at some point, and looking at the armor, it belonged to Poles and Magyars.

Now the left wing of the pagan army is being pinched and squeezed by two armies, deserters keep appearing, and it is only a matter of time before they fail.

Seeing this scene, Rostislav realized that the envoys he had sent before had successfully completed their mission.

The troops belonging to the King of Poland and the King of Hungary chose to come to aid after all, and their generals were also people who knew the overall situation.

So at this moment, everyone must abandon the prejudices brought about by those camps and interests, and stand together as Christians to overcome the difficulties in front of them.

They chose Cech as the commander of everyone, because he is the only one who has the qualifications here, and no one can be more suitable than him.

And in order to come here, they have also experienced a lot of battles along the way, not to mention the horse archers outside the camp, it is not difficult to break through those guys.And on the road, troops composed of pagan thugs ambushed them everywhere, and this road was really hacked and killed.

When they came to the battlefield, they found that Rostislav had fallen into a very embarrassing situation, unable to move, unable to make any flank detours, and could only exchange sons with the heretics.

As a veteran, Sichech naturally knew how to solve the current predicament. With his order, the Poles and Magyars took advantage of their entry from the other side of the battlefield and attacked the pagan army. The left wing, sandwiched the enemy's left wing in the middle and besieged.

And as long as the left wing is eliminated, the predicament they are currently facing will be solved.

"The troops of King Boleslaw and King Bella, they are here after all, and they came at a very timely time."

Looking at that scene, Rostislav breathed a sigh of relief slowly, not because of the support from his allies, but more because the scene in front of him made him let go of something.

Now that the reinforcements are here, it is possible to repel or even defeat the enemy in front of us, and the battle situation is no longer so hopeless.

Moreover, the side of the general in Rostislav's body began to emerge, and he did not allow himself to give up this opportunity.

In addition, in this short period of time, Rostislav also made up his mind. If he really committed the act of treachery, his life would be equated with this treachery, and he would become his. A stain for life.

And I haven't mentioned the political crisis that he will inevitably bring about by doing so. In such an era that values ​​legal principles, doing so will really shake the foundation of governance.

Most importantly, it was a question of whether those pagans would kill the uncles, and if he betrayed the uncles, he would be too ungrateful—except for the second uncle, of course.

So Rostislav gave up that conspiracy, and instead of trying to win those shortcuts, he might as well follow the original plan and slowly move towards his ultimate goal.

The thing to do now is very simple, that is to let go of all distracting thoughts and use this opportunity to completely turn the hopeless defeat into a great victory!
