A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

Because of the assassination of the crown prince, the atmosphere of the entire Wangcheng suddenly became tense.

The number of guards patrolling the city increased by two times compared with normal days, and they watched all kinds of suspicious people. The city guards simply carried out a stern cleanup operation against the king city, and attacked the criminals of the land ruff. many people.

At the beginning of the winter, the atmosphere of the Wangcheng was one of sorrow.

The ordinary people in Wangcheng are extremely happy about this matter, but they can’t help but worry about the news that Prince Wang was assassinated and injured.

The reputation of Prince Gallan is almost two extremes among the dignitaries. One part firmly supports him, and the other part regards him as a beast of floods. For these years, the young prince’s refuge in civilians and the king’s The various proposals for benefiting the people have damaged the interests of many nobles.

However, among ordinary people, this wise prince is second only to the lion king Camos. Especially in the Wangcheng, there are many people who benefit from the prince. Gallan can be made a crown prince, and they feel happy from the heart.

Perhaps the heroic Prince Heimos is famous on the battlefield, which admires countless warriors, but for ordinary people, they hope to have a wise king who loves the people.

Therefore, when the Prince Wang was injured, the people were a little uneasy.

I don’t know whether Prince Wang’s injury is serious or not, if in case...

I don't know where the news came from. It was said that Prince Garland was seriously injured and may die at any time. To avoid accidents, it is best to quickly recall Prince Huimus in the north to the royal city.

For a time, the uneasy breath spread in the royal city, and the people who did not know the truth of the rumors began to become uneasy.

Because of these rumors, the atmosphere in the Wangcheng became more tense.

"Prince Wang needs to show up before the people."

Standing in front of Garlan who was wounded in bed, Samash's priest said so.

"This is too dangerous, Lord Xermor."

Kehuos frowned.

"The latter, which was intended to assassinate the prince, has not yet been found. Now he hastily appeared in the public, and those guys are likely to take this opportunity to shoot again."

"Can't continue to let gossip spread."

Xie Muer said.

In today's court, many people have proposed the recall of Huimus to the royal city.

Although King Camos did not hesitate to reject this proposal and forced those people back, but it can be seen that this is just the beginning.

A dark tide has been surging in the palace.

"This may be the strategy of those guys, using these gossip to force the prince to appear in front of everyone, and then take this opportunity to assassinate the prince again!"

Facing the continually neglecting guardian knights, Xie Muer said nothing more, but turned his gaze to Gallan.

Obviously, he was letting Garland decide.

Sitting on the bed, Garlan's injured arm hung on one side, with the other hand on his leg.

He pondered a little, then looked at Xie Muer.

"You go to arrange, I will come forward."

"prince--"

"Kejos, I can't hide in the turtle shell for fear of those people, it's so ugly."

The boy said that his expression was calm and he smiled lightly at his knight.

"It was just an assassination, and I was slightly injured. If I was scared, I would make those people more proud."

He said, "I'm not going to make those guys who hurt me wish."

"..."

Kehuos bowed his head slightly.

"I understand, prince, I will do a good job of vigilance."

Xie Muer nodded aside, and he was naturally satisfied with Gallan's decision.

…………

After a few more days, flying around all kinds of rumors-even when rumors that "Prince Wang was actually assassinated and killed on the spot, but the royal family covered the matter and did not announce it", King Camos came out Suddenly ordered to let the crown prince attend the winter festival on his behalf.

The so-called winter festival is a ceremony to worship Yadimi, the hunting god.

In Aaron Landis, hunting is generally not allowed in spring and early summer, while hunting is encouraged in winter. When winter comes, it is a time for hunters to celebrate.

According to legend, when the hunting **** Yadi Mi was born, Aaron Landis fell the snow for the first time in the warm season.

Therefore, Ya Di Mi is also known as the **** of winter.

Her birth date was regarded as the beginning of Aaron Landis' winter.

King Aaron Landis, the son of the gods, must shoot the prey in the festival on this day, and sacrifice the prey to Yadi Mi, the hunter, and pray to the goddess to bless Aaron. The hunters of Diss can obtain abundant prey in winter.

The festival was held in the huge temple of the hunter **** on the side of the royal city.

In front of the temple, a tall stone statue of the hunted **** stood on the ground.

It was a young and muscular goddess with a beautiful face. Unlike other gorgeous goddesses, her statue was wearing a sleeveless tunic skirt and hunting boots, and she wore a crown made of cypress branches and leaves.

Standing on the ground, she stood vigorously, holding a white bow and arrow, carrying a golden arrow, and a mighty hound followed her.

Unlike other squares made of white stone or bluestone slabs, the square of the Hunting God Temple is a vast grassland, covering an extremely large area. There are many animals in it. It is more a square than a square. Small hunting grounds in the city.

If the dignitaries want to worship the hunter god, they must enter and hunt in person, and then dedicate their prey to Yadimi the hunter.

In today's festival, Gallan, who replaced King Camos, will also enter into it.

At this moment, he was standing at the entrance of the hunting ground, and the snow-white horse stood quietly under him, occasionally gently digging the ground with his front hooves.

Wangcheng has always had a warm climate, and it is only early winter. Many people still wear short-sleeved robes, but Gallan is a strong suit. He used to wear light-colored clothes. He is now wearing a dark brown long-sleeved tunic. , Even the cloak was replaced by a dark one.

The perimeter of the hunting ground was already full of people who came to watch the winter festival. Many people saw the crown prince riding at the entrance of the hunting ground with their own eyes, and immediately gave excited cheers, shouts, and drums.

"Prince Wang is obviously very good. I don't know who talks everywhere."

"Yeah, I don't think it's hurt like Prince Wang?"

"Probably a little wound."

"Hah, to be sure, King Camos is very fond of the Crown Prince, maybe it's really just doing something for a little injury."

"Don't quarrel, don't quarrel, you see, Prince Wang has entered the hunting ground--"

"The hunting **** Yadi is on the top, please give my family enough prey in the winter."

In the cheers of the people watching from afar, Garland bowed slightly, and the horse galloped into the hunting ground like an arrow.

The cool wind swept over his cheeks, causing the long golden hair behind him to fly in the air.

Even if it has entered the winter, the sunshine of the royal city is still bright, shining bright light on the clusters of blond hair.

As the **** of choice among thousands of miles, the white horse runs very fast. In a blink of an eye, it has already rushed to its prey with its owner.

Along the small stream in the distance, a herd of antelopes and a group of stags were drinking water.

Coming into winter, they are already fat and strong.

Suddenly, the running hounds broke their leisure time. In the sound of hounds, panicked animals ran up, driven by the hounds, and ran in one direction.

Not far away, the white horses flying towards them have slowed down.

The dark cloak was flying high behind him, and the blond teenager immediately raised his bow at the prey driven by the hound.

An arrow shot, and a gray antelope splattered with bleeding on the neck and fell.

The cheers of everyone outside suddenly increased.

At the same time, a sharp tingling sensation came from his left arm, causing Galland's bow-shaking hand to shake.

He took a deep breath, forcibly held back the pain on his left arm, pulled out the arrow again from the arrow barrel behind him, and continued to shoot with his bow.

A sharp arrow shot away in the sun.

In the cry of the hound, the animals running panic fell to the ground one by one.

After Gallan gritted his teeth and endured the pain, he shot all the golden arrows in his barrel, and his forehead had oozed sweat.

The left arm holding the bow was trembling slightly, a dark trace like a water mark slowly spreading on his sleeve, but he was wearing a dark brown long-sleeved coat and was blocked by the cloak, making it unclear That trace.

The festival can only carry ten arrows, which are special golden arrows carved from the tail of the arrow.

The more prey shots are dedicated to the hunter, the more they will be praised by the hunter, thus sheltering the people of Aaron Landis during the winter hunting.

There are only ten arrows, which also means that the hunter warns everyone not to over-hunt.

With a long whistle, the hounds stopped driving, and the surviving animals fled, and soon disappeared without a trace.

The people outside the hunting ground counted the number of prey lying on the ground, counted to ten, and cheered again.

The crown prince has no arrows, and will surely win the hunter's favor, and let the Aaron Landis harvest in winter.

Soon the priests of the Temple of the Hunting God came and lifted their prey to the statue in the temple.

After a night of enshrining the idols, they would cook these prey as a grace given by the hunter gods to let the people share the food.

Gallan was finally able to retreat. In the cheers and shouts of the people outside the hunting ground, Gallan waved to them, and then left the hunting ground.

The guardian knight, who was also riding at the entrance of the hunting ground, greeted him on the horse, and his eyes fell on the water stains on the dark clothes of Gallan's left arm.

Noting his sight, Gallan lifted his cloak by hand and concealed his left shoulder under the cloak.

Garland rode all the way to the direction of the temple. Under the sun, he smiled brightly and behaved calmly.

Sweat oozes from his forehead, and his blond hair with temples is almost wet and sticks to his cheeks. In the eyes of others, it should be the sweat from the vigorous activity of the hunting just now.

The blonde knight staring at the wet mark of her hair clenched her rein fingers tightly.

The priests' ritual of offering sacrifices will continue for a long time. The crown prince can go to the room inside the shrine to rest for a while.

Garland took Kehos into the house, and the guards were outside the room.

As soon as he entered the room, the seemingly relaxed smile on the teenager's face disappeared instantly.

He stood in place, clutching his left shoulder with his right hand, closing his eyes and pursing his lips, showing a painful look on his face.

Kehuos stepped forward quickly, pulling off Garland's cloak.

The dark brown piece of Garlan's left arm near his shoulder was stained red, and the blood was still faintly spreading.

Kehos gritted his teeth.

In the final analysis, the winter festival is only a ritual, and the requirements are not high, so shooting the domesticated prey in the hunting ground is actually very simple.

The difficulty is to shoot ten arrows in one breath.

People who know how to shoot arrows know that continuous shooting is extremely energy-intensive. Generally speaking, when an ordinary person shoots the fifth or sixth arrow, the muscles in the arm will be sore. When the seven or eight arrows are reached, the arm will be difficult to lift.

The more you get to the back, the more you rely on perseverance.

In the case of partiality, Garlan was injured in the arm.

Kehuos quickly changed Gallan's dressing and re-dressed the wound.

With the prince's injury, I am afraid that the injury on his arm will split when it is halfway through.

Almost all the bandages changed were stained with blood red.

Packing up the blood-stained things, Kehos looked at Galland.

The young prince was sitting on the chair, only half of his coat was on the right, leaving his left shoulder open, and the white bandage that had just been bandaged had oozed out again.

The teenager leaned his head back and leaned on the back of the chair, closing his eyes as if recuperating.

Opening his mouth slightly, his breath was short.

The slender eyelashes moved slightly, obviously suffering from pain.

Kehuos's eyes sank.

He thought that King Camos had mentioned to him a few days ago, and he had to be prepared to promote him to a cavalry and command an army.

Military power is an indispensable part of controlling power.

The prince must have his own military power.

……………………

Large flakes of snowflakes fell from the gloomy sky and fell on the snowy ground.

It was an endless frozen land.

The majestic huge stone fortress stands on this icy ground, becoming the only dark color in this dazzling white snow.

The cold wind blew violently through the window of the stone castle and poured into the castle.

Deep in the castle, in a spacious room, the walls on all four sides were made of black stone, and almost no ornaments were seen, not even tapestries.

Rows of cold flashing soldier blades hung on the stone wall, giving people a cold feeling more and more.

The flames in the huge fireplace on one side of the wall were burning, and the crimson flames were reflected on those soldier blades, and also on the cheeks of the few people in the room.

The silver hair was dyed with a flash of light, and the slightly slender Danfeng eyes drooped slightly.

The faintly glowing silver hair was scattered in the slightly raised and sharper corners of the eyes, and the snow-colored young man stood in front of the fireplace.

The other two knelt in front of him on one knee and bowed their heads deeply.

"His Royal Highness, a message came from Aaron Landis's royal city."

The thick, light-colored eyelashes lifted up, and the young man looked at his subordinate kneeling in front of him.

"Following your instructions, those of us lurking there have successfully provoked the struggle between the two princes of Aaron Landis."

The person kneeling down reported.

"Prince Huimus has been cast out of the royal city."

"The matter that provoked the assassination of the Prince Alan by the Allen Landis also went smoothly."

"The crown prince is already ill and our people are still encouraging those people to continue to assassinate the prince."

One person finished speaking, and the other person continued.

"The crown prince has disrupted your deployment several times, especially the one in Tozes City..."

The man looked sorry.

Their people have been lurking in that city for several years. If the prince successfully deployed in the secret of Tozes City, Tozes City, which is an important port of maritime transport, fell into the hands of pirates, not only can weaken Aaron Landis The national strength of the country has caused confusion, and it can also greatly reduce the reputation of Aaron Landis on the mainland.

The silver-haired youth in a thick velvet cloak stood in front of the fireplace, and the edge of the pupil, like a lilac gemstone placed in ice and snow, reflected a little red flame.

Thin lips, like a flame, but it gives an extremely ruthless feeling.

"Prince Garland..."

He repeated the name whispered indifferently.

Then, turn your head and look at the side wall.

A huge map hung on the stone wall.

The young and beautiful face is cold, as if there is no emotion.

But in his eyes looking at the map, the flame called ambition burned deep in his pupils, as if he could devour and burn everything he saw.

"The State of Kanal will be available soon."

He says,

"The next one is Aaron Landis."
