Fatley looked at Grande and Margaret and said coldly: "An army of the Eastern Romans has been waiting on ships in the Black Sea for a long time, as soon as they receive our brigade of men and horses to leave Adrianople and march east, they will come ashore to kill and retake this castle, cut off our complete return, and what awaits us ahead is a huge trap, do you think I don't know about Leo IV's conspiracy?" You may not admit it, but I want you to think clearly, if you don't admit it, not only will you die here, but your three children will also die here! Margaret, if his arm is not bandaged again, he will bleed dry and die, I can have someone bandage him, but only if you tell the truth! "As long as you confess your identity and purpose, I can ask the Khan to let your three children live, and if you dare not tell the truth, your whole family will die! You have to think about it! ”

Grande yelled at Fatli: "Fatli, you are framing, she is not a spy of the Eastern Romans at all, we have never betrayed the clan and the Khan, you framed me in order to seize my tribe!" King Khan, you can't be deceived by him, he's a spy! ”

Tririg looked at Grande and said: "There is a secret passage leading to the castle in the woods outside the city, I have already seen this secret passage, it takes a lot of people to dig this secret passage, this secret passage is obviously just dug out, and there is a fresh smell of earth, it should be that the Eastern Romans plan to use the secret passage to break through to the castle and retake the castle, if it is not for the Eastern Romans planning to block our retreat, they don't need to dig this secret passage, this is enough to show that someone has betrayed us!" Your family can carry it to the end, but I can kill you and investigate slowly, and I'm sure your servants should know about some of your unusual behaviors! I don't need proof, I just need to know what your servants say you have behaved erratically in the past few years, and you will be convicted of this crime! ”

Margaret cried out, "Don't hurt my child, I say, I say, as long as you promise not to hurt my child, I'll say anything!" ”

The tribal leaders looked at each other, and they all showed surprise, it turned out that these two people were really the gap between the Eastern Romans!

Trilig said: "Okay, I promise you, as long as you all say it, I promise you that you will not hurt your children!" ”

Margaret said decadently: "That's right, I am a spy sent by the Eastern Romans, my master is the Marquis of Portlag, he is one of the intelligence officers of the Eastern Roman Empire, my task is to penetrate into the Bolgar Khanate, instigate rebellion and coercion and lure high-level figures, so as to obtain the military dynamics of the Bolgar Khanate, and report to the Marquis of Portlag in time!" ”

Tririg looked at Grande and asked, "Grande, do you have anything else to say?" ”

Grande glared at Margaret: "You······ Why are you doing this to me? You've been hiding it from me, but you've kept getting news from me, and it turns out that you're really a spy of the Eastern Romans! ”

Margaret nodded with tears in her eyes: "Yes, I lied to you, at first I did deceive you and seduce you, but then I fell in love with you, I knew I couldn't live, but I hope you can raise the children, they are innocent!" After saying that, he suddenly pulled out the sword of a soldier next to him and cut his throat.

Several children rushed over and cried out: "Mommy, Mommy······"

Grande walked over with difficulty, and knelt down in front of Margaret's corpse.

Tribal leaders, look at me, I look at you, I didn't expect things to turn out like this, only the cries of children were left in the whole hall, and Grande hung his head and wept silently.

Fatli said to Trylig: "King Khan, according to the rules of our steppe, this kind of thing must be cut down to the roots, these children are of Eastern Roman blood, and they have just seen the scene of us forcing their mother to death, they must have hatred in their hearts, when they grow up, they will definitely seek revenge on us!" ”

A few tribal leaders nodded in agreement, but the remaining leaders were silent and did not take a stand.

Trillit flatly refused: "No, I have promised her that she will not hurt her child, I am the king of the grassland, the king should have the bearing of a king, even if her child wants to seek revenge on me in the future, it will be many years later!" There is no need to say anything more about this matter, it is so decided, and no one can embarrass her children because of this matter in the future! "Come on, put medicine on this child's severed arm!"

"Yes, King Khan!" Someone immediately called the witch doctor.

Fatley pointed at Grande again and asked, "King Khan, what should Grande do?" ”

Immediately, a tribal leader stood up and said: "King Khan, it is not difficult to see from their conversation just now that Grande is completely hoodwinked, he has no idea that his wife is a spy of the Eastern Romans, and I don't think this matter should affect him!" ”

The other tribal leaders were also very sympathetic to Grande, and they all stood up to echo this suggestion, without Grande's care, with the environment on the grassland, these children would not have lived long.

Under pressure from the tribal leaders, Trillit had to take a step back and said, "Okay, I can not kill him, but he must hand over the rights of the tribal leader, and I will send someone else to take over!" Grande, do you agree? ”

Grande nodded silently and didn't speak, everyone knew that he was already disheartened, and being able to raise a few children in his lifetime was the biggest responsibility in his life.

In view of the merits of Fathli's report on the inner ghost, Tellig said to him: "Fathli, you have helped us find out our internal spies, and I appoint you to replace Grande as the leader of the Kutragul tribe!" ”

Fatli knew that he would not be able to subdue the Kutragul tribe no matter what, and that the people of this tribe would definitely reject him, and maybe even secretly kill him, and for the Kutragul tribe, he was their enemy.

Fatli hurriedly said: "King Khan, thank you for your generosity and appreciation, but I can't accept the Kutragul tribe, my ability is not enough to rule the two tribes, please choose another talented person for the Khan!" ”

Wangut, the leader of the Salagul tribe, said: "King Khan, let an outsider be afraid that it will be difficult to rule the Kutragul tribe, in my opinion, it is better to let Balalets of Kutragul be the new leader, his prestige is only under the Grand Grande, and the tribesmen should be convinced of him!" ”

The other chiefs agreed.

Trilig had no choice but to agree: "Alright, go and call Balalets!" ”

Two days later, outside Adriatic Castle, Balalets, the new leader of the Kutragul tribe, led some men and horses to send the Grande father and son a few miles away.

After leaving the sight of Adria Castle, Grandema stopped and said to Balalets: "Chief, send it here, you must be careful in this battle with the Eastern Romans, you are the leader of our Kutragul tribe, and all our clansmen will rely on you in the future!" ”

Balalets hurriedly said: "Everyone knows that you are wronged, you don't know anything about the leak of the news, and with my ability, you can't be the leader of the Kutragul tribe at all!" I've already consulted with the others, I'll help you take the position of leader first, and as long as you are alive, you will always be the leader of the Kutragul tribe! ”

Grande did not respond to Ballarets' words, but said to his eldest son: "Krum, you guys say goodbye to Uncle Ballarets and other uncles!" ”

Krum, who was only a few years old, was a strong man, but with a cold glint hidden in his eyes, he took his two younger brothers to say goodbye to Ballarets and the others.

After Balalets returned to Adria Castle, his three-year-old son cried: "Mom, I'm looking for Mommy, I'm looking for Mommy!" ”

The steel-made Bolgar warrior Grande once again shed tears silently and said to his eldest son, Krum, "Krum, your brother must remember that Fatli is your brother's enemy, and when you grow up, you will kill Fatli and avenge your mother!" ”

Krum nodded heavily.

No one knows that in history, this child named Krum ascended the throne of the Bolgar Khanate twenty years later, and he joined forces with Charman the Great of the Frankish Kingdom with his outstanding political vision to destroy the Avar Khanate, which had been entrenched in the Panolia Plain for hundreds of years, and defeated the Eastern Roman Empire several times with his superb military command art and talent, and also besieged the 100,000 army commanded by the Eastern Roman Emperor Nikephoros I in the Balkan Mountains, and defeated Nikephoros I's army. Emperor Nikephoros I himself was killed in battle, and Krum had his head cut off and a skull goblet made of silver inlaid in silver, which alone was enough to make Krum famous in history.

Under the planning of Fatli and Tlilig, they divided the Bolgar army into two parts, and a small part took a large number of Thracians, Slavs, Germans and other barbarians recruited in Thrace to form a large army to attack eastward, their speed was very slow, mainly to plunder, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil, robbing everything that could be robbed, and burning everything that could be burned, so many Eastern Roman villages and towns in Thrace were reduced to scorched earth and rubble.

They left most of the remaining Bolgar army in Adrianople and divided it in two, one to guard the castle and the other to hide in the castle. When the Eastern Roman Empire got the main force of the Bolgars to march eastward, an Eastern Roman army on the Black Sea landed on land and quickly came to the outside of Adriatic, they besieged the castle, and began to attack the castle through the tunnels the next night, Tellirig and Fast had already prepared, they raised fire on the castle, and the Bolgar army hiding outside the city quickly attacked the Eastern Roman Empire army overnight, and the Bolgars in the castle also took advantage of the situation to kill, Most of the Eastern Roman Empire armies that had entered the tunnels were blocked in the tunnels and could not enter or exit, and were trapped alive inside, while the Eastern Roman Empire armies outside were completely defeated, and the Bolgars pursued them with a large number of light cavalry, so that this Eastern Roman Empire army was completely annihilated.
