A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

:

As some people jumped up and down, the rumors quickly spread among the uneasy citymen.

It was like an infectious disease, but it was only a few hours. Almost everyone in the city knew about it.

The consul fled with other officials!

The soldiers protected the officials and fled!

They were abandoned!

How can this be--

Although it was late at night, the city was already in chaos.

Because of the pirate's attack and hiding in the room tremblingly for an afternoon, the mindset of the panicked citizens was completely crushed by this last straw.

Fear, anger, disappointment and other surging emotions overwhelmed their reason, and with the encouragement of some people, they burst out of their brains and gathered like thousands of streams to form a terrible force.

Thousands of city dwellers flooded the streets and gathered from all sides to the executive government in the center of the city.

"Let the Archon come out!"

"Let the officials come out!"

"Where are our soldiers?"

Before taking office, the large empty square was crowded with people at the moment.

Everyone shouted loudly, and everyone's face was filled with anger.

Someone screamed hysterically, others waved their fists angrily, and roared loudly.

Human beings are the most susceptible beings of the same kind around them.

Even those who just wanted to see the situation were involuntarily affected by this environment and were caught in the waves and excited.

"How can you run away? What should we do?"

"I actually want to leave us alone and run away, you cowards!"

Hundreds of soldiers in charge of guarding the ruling government struggled to stand at the gate of the ruling government, traversing the long | gun in front of them, blocking the crowded citizens in front of them.

Their figure was like a solid wall, blocking the turbulent crowd violently and preventing them from rushing in.

And their hindrance angered the people who were already angry.

"Leave us! Actually leave us alone! You are not as good as pigs and dogs!"

"You stray dogs!"

"Get off, we want to see the Archon! You **** stray dogs get out of us--"

Some people shouted and shouted at the soldiers who stopped them.

Someone reached out and wanted to take the long | gun from those soldiers.

Once someone takes the lead, many people will follow.

A hand reached out, tearing the soldier's hair and clothes.

There were also hands reaching over, hitting heavily on the soldiers, and even scratching the scars on their faces with their nails.

"You guys who help the abuser!"

"You must not die!"

"Consultant! Let him come out and see us!"

The soldiers who were insulted and insulted had stretched blue muscles on their faces. They clenched their teeth and didn't make a sound.

But they still stood there and used their bodies to block the surging crowd.

When Galland rushed out of the side door with Kehuos and several generals, he saw this situation.

I didn't expect the scene to have reached such an unmanageable situation. Everyone froze at once, unable to speak for a while.

In the dark night, I saw tens of thousands of citizens crowded in the square, shouting to see the consul.

Just then, suddenly, the originally dark square lit up.

The torch that was connected by special organs and surrounded the square was all lit.

In an instant, the light shines.

The brightest place is a high platform extending in front of the high-rise building of the executive government.

The front of the platform faces the square, while at the back, it is a hemispherical shape that surrounds the platform.

A huge torch lit up the high platform.

That is the bulletin board of the ruling government.

Whenever there is a major event, or a grand festival is held, the city residents will be summoned to the square, and the consul will stand on the bulletin board and speak to the people.

After the craftsman's special and ingenious design, on the bulletin board, the voice of the speaker can be amplified.

As long as the square is quiet enough, speaking loudly here can spread throughout the square and let everyone hear it.

The noisy square was quiet for a moment when the torch of the bulletin board lit up.

Everyone looked up and saw a man in a navy general dress appearing on the high platform.

"Captain Seth?"

"It's Captain Seth."

"Yes, it's him!"

Many citizens recognized this person at a glance.

The appearance of Seth caused them to start whispering with the people around them.

"Citizens of Tozes, please listen to me—"

Thanks to the special features of the bulletin board, Seth's voice rang throughout the square.

"You have not been abandoned."

He says,

"We are still there, the army is still there, please believe us! We are soldiers of Aaron Landis, no matter what happens, we will not leave you behind!"

"So don't be afraid, please go home with confidence."

Seth shouted,

"We will protect this city, and we will protect you!"

Captain Seth has always been known for his integrity in the city of Tozes, and his words made the crowd a little quieter.

The anger in my heart weakened a little, and everyone looked at each other. Although no one was moving, everyone was still standing on the square, but many people's faces appeared hesitant.

Those who were affected by the intense environment and whose emotions were out of control also began to calm down, and a few sober people have begun to persuade their relatives and friends to leave here.

Seth was relieved.

But at this moment, there was another loud shout suddenly from the quiet crowd.

"Good talk! Who knows if you are lying to us!"

Everyone froze for a while, who hadn't responded to who yelled the words, and similar questioning sounds again and again.

"Yes! Just want a few words to make us believe you, how is it possible!"

"Yeah yeah, you're just a captain, what qualifications are there to say this?"

"Don't be fooled by him!"

"Let the Archon come out! We will see him with our own eyes and listen to him with our own ears—"

These questioning sounds came from different places in the crowd, and suddenly made the quiet hesitating people restless again.

The flame was ignited again, and they shouted with the sounds.

"Yes! The consul is out!"

"You are just a captain, what do you say?"

"The governor? Why hasn't he come out yet?"

"It must have really run. You see, except for Captain Seth, no officials saw them. They must have all run away, leaving this person to trick us--"

"We want to see the consul!"

"We won't believe any of your **** until we see the consul!"

In an instant, the public sentiment raged again, and the people shouted together screaming together.

They rushed forward, trying to break through the soldiers' blockade and into the executive government.

They were stunned with anger and red eyes, with a look of fierceness, roaring to the point where the green muscles on their necks burst.

They seemed to want to vent their panic, anger and fear at this moment.

Seth yelled at the bulletin board and snarled anxiously, but it was useless and never believed him again.

The line of defense formed by the soldiers is already crumbling. Even if they are soldiers, they can't compete with so many crazy people.

The scene has been completely out of control.

The generals Tie Qing stood at the side entrance and looked at all this in front of their eyes.

Kehuos frowned deeply.

Looking at the unmanageable situation in front of him, Gallan stood quietly.

He closed his eyes slowly, the fine blonde hair scattered on his slender eyelashes, as if a little golden light had stained his eyelashes.

The deafening cry was like a mountain and a tsunami, echoing in his ear.

But in this grumpy square, somehow, only the place where he stood was unusually quiet.

Garland stood there for a while.

Then he opened his eyes.

The burning fire around the square seemed to fall into his golden eyes at the moment he opened his eyes.

He turned suddenly and suddenly, without greeting anyone, and walked quickly back from the side door to the executive government hall.

When he left, Kehos was telling some guards beside him.

The knight ordered: "Arrange people immediately into the crowd, and control the guys who just started coaxing and inspiring others, and don't let others discover."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and saw that Garlan's figure was about to disappear into the door.

He was startled, his face suddenly changed, and he hurried up.

"prince!"

In the empty hall, only footsteps echoed.

Kehuos shouted, but Garland didn't look back.

He walked through the hall, quickly walked through the promenade inside the ruling government, and walked to the other side.

It was in the middle of the executive government. A door was opened, and inside the door, spiral stone steps led directly to the top.

Seth's anxious and futile cry came from the top of the spiral stone steps.

Going up from here is the bulletin board.

Garland lifted his foot.

However, as soon as he took a step forward, the blonde knight he chased grabbed his hand.

The teenager looked back, and he stood on the steps, looking down at his knight.

Kehuos clasped his wrists and looked up at him.

"No, Your Highness."

The knight said that his voice was suppressed at this moment.

His pupils contracted hard.

"No."

If you are sitting invisible behind the scenes, no one but the generals will know that the prince is still in the city.

This is why he has always been calm and never persuaded the prince to leave Tozes City.

He had already thought about it. Once the city was defeated, he forced the prince to break out.

He has this confidence.

However, if the prince now appears in front of everyone...

Kehuos held Gallan's wrist tightly.

At this moment, he felt that his breathing was a little difficult.

"Your Highness."

Kehuos said softly.

His voice was very soft, as if fearing that a bigger one would make something irreversible.

"This time, as long as this time is good, this time, you must listen to me."

He says,

"Please... don't go."

do not go.

If you go.

Once you appear in front of everyone, you cut off all your retreats.

Standing on the stone steps, the boy's golden eyes looked down at Kehuos.

He did not answer.

He just looked at Kehuos and smiled.

A little silence, a little silence.

The knight gripped the teenager's fingers slowly and hardly.

He stood downstairs and watched Garland turn away.

The light-colored cloak that flew up as the teenager turned turned across his eyes.

A deep shadow glanced across his malachite-green eyes.

The knight stood there, watching his prince's back disappear into the spiral stone steps.

…………

………………

Seth stared staringly at the noisy crowd below. His voice was dumb, but it had no effect.

At this moment, he suddenly had a feeling of exhaustion.

The enemy has not yet come in, but Tozes City has already collapsed from within.

How ironic.

They desperately wanted to defend the city, but the city dwellers who did not know who was instigated did not believe them, determined that they would abandon themselves, and yelled and yelled at them.

Even if he was as tough as Seth, he was a bit discouraged for a while.

Just when he was helpless, suddenly, footsteps came.

He opened his eyes wide when it seemed that familiar figure.

"prince?"

He shouted out the identity of the person.

The surprise at the person made Seth forget that he was on the bulletin board at the moment, and his voice was expanded with his shouting.

On the square, the special title suddenly sounded in my ears, which made many people startled and looked at each other.

"prince?"

"What is he saying?"

"How is it possible? Wrong?"

They had a lot of discussion and could not help but look up.

"How do you--"

Kehos's plan has already been revealed to Seth.

Seth was very much in favor of Kehos's idea, and told the generals that the Prince was still in the city.

When he saw Gallan coming up here, he was anxious and wanted to persuade Gallan to go down.

"Seth, you step back."

Garlan's words made all of Seth's words stuck in his throat.

With a deep sigh in his heart, he lowered his head.

He said, "Yes, His Royal Highness."

He looked down and stepped aside.

When he answered, he was still standing at the center of the platform, and his voice was expanded again.

Everyone heard the title again.

"Yes, he is talking about the prince."

"Is it really..."

"It's impossible. The prince is so noble that he is more honorable than the consul. The consul has fled. How could he still be?"

"But he shouted..."

"Yeah, I heard it just now."

All the people who were excited just now became quiet in an instant, and everyone stared at the brightly lit bulletin board with their eyes wide open.

They held their breath and waited.

They saw Captain Seth stepped back and bowed his head.

A teenager appeared in their sight.

The light of the huge torch illuminates the teenager's face and the long blond hair blown by the wind.

That is... His Royal Highness?

The citizens of Tozes stared at the young man in awe and awe. The natural awe of the supreme royal family made them shut their mouths and dared not make any more sounds.

After all, it was a prince.

No matter how furious they stunned their heads and gave them great courage, they did not dare to pretend to the prince.

"The citizens of Tozes."

Under the gaze of the thousands of citizens, Gallan spoke.

"I am the prince of Aaron Landis, Galland."

Really His Royal Highness!

The hearts of the people were beating violently, and they were raised high.

But the next second, the heart they lifted up suddenly fell in a flash.

Gallan said: "As you know, Tozes's governor and most of the officials have fled."

"!"

Seth looked up sharply.

They tried their best to hide this matter, but the prince said it directly.

He opened his mouth to say nothing, but couldn't say a word.

Garland's words were like a thunderbolt on the sunny day, and the citizens of the entire square were suddenly stunned.

They stood there dumbly, but they could not make any sound with their mouths open.

Determined the fact that he was abandoned, the anger instantly reddened their eyes. At this moment, fear and despair even overwhelmed their awe of the prince. Some people opened their mouths and wanted to yell.

But before they yelled, Garland had already spoken a step ahead.

"Everyone who wants to escape has already escaped and escaped."

Gallan said.

He raised his hand and pointed to the side, the kneeling Seth.

Then, down again, pointing to the crowd, to the soldiers who stopped the public from being pushed and shoved by people.

"So those who stay here now are those who have refused to flee with the consul, want to protect you, and are determined to coexist with Tozes and die."

Just a few words of understatement, and he held back the roar that everyone was about to break out.

The square once again showed a strange and quiet situation.

Garland said, "Tozers, do you intend to continue to abuse these fighters for your protection?"

Everyone was at a loss for a while.

But, perhaps intentionally or unintentionally, those who hit the soldiers stepped back involuntarily.

The square was quiet, and everyone was relatively speechless.

Rumours of the governor's escape made them extremely angry.

However, when they confirmed that the gossip came true, instead they continued to feel angry.

The hearts were empty, and the terrible reality left them blank.

Kahoes, who stood on the side of the square, looked up and looked at his prince.

His personal guard has secretly captured the dozen or so people who just took the lead in the crowd and brought them back for interrogation.

"My wise people in Tozes City."

On the high platform, the prince's voice spread in the sky.

"Don't let anger and panic stun your mind, think about it, no matter whether officials run away or not, you come here to no avail."

He was not angry because of the turmoil of the city residents.

His voice was peaceful, just like his calm look at the moment.

"My people, Sorga, the **** of wisdom, has given human wisdom, so now, calm down and use your mind to think."

He says,

"Think about who will be the winner after the chaos in Tozes."

"Think calmly, are you going to continue."

This time, without the constant disturbance of those with rhythm, in a silence, the city residents began to calm down.

The fine rain began to fall again.

The cold rain drenched the mind, which was stunned by anger and fear.

What did they do?

When I think of what I did just now, many people are pale and have a dream-like feeling.

They didn't even think about how they did that kind of thing.

It felt like it was swept into the trend all at once, and he shouted involuntarily following the blood punch.

At this moment, everyone was silent and the square was terribly quiet.

I can only hear the wind roaring past.

Soon, a sob broke the deadly silence.

Someone is sobbing.

"Prince, I'm scared."

She said in a crying voice, "I'm really scared."

"Please tell us, can we survive?"

She sobbed and said the common wishes of everyone present.

"Please tell us, what should we do?"

On the silent square, the voice seemed exceptionally clear.

Almost everyone heard it.

Subconsciously, it seems to be a resonance, and everyone looks at Gallan.

Everyone's gaze to Garland was complicated.

On the one hand, they want to hear from the prince’s mouth, ‘I will protect everyone’, ‘Tozes City will be safe’, ‘everyone will live well’, and so on, even if it is a lie.

On the other hand, they also felt that if the prince really said the same thing as Captain Seth, then they were simply coaxing them and perfunctory.

This contradictory mood even made them feel dazed.

They didn't know what they wanted to hear from the prince.

They could only raise their heads and wait for the prince's answer in silence.

Garland looked down at the thousands of people below who were watching him.

"I do not know."

He says,

"I don't know if I can hold Tozes or whether we can survive."

The light in everyone's eyes dimmed.

The prince did not lie to them.

They felt a little comfort on the one hand and despair on the other.

"But my people."
