A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

The northern border is now at midnight, and the fortress stands on a snowy field that has turned white, like a towering high mountain guarding the northern border.

The cold wind blew high in the sky, and large patches of snowflakes fell from the night sky and fell on the white ground.

A guard walked across the promenade in the cold wind and came to the prison in the corner of the fortress.

In such cold weather, in the middle of the night, the guard is still bracing the wind and snow before the prison, and he will dutifully stop people at the gate.

The guard showed the warrant to the guard, and the guard was allowed to go to prison.

Not long after, he came out of the gate of the prison, and an additional person followed him.

A person who spent more than half a month in prison.

After a briefing by the guards outside the door, Suo stepped in quickly.

As soon as he entered the door, he looked up at those golden-red eyes, and Sorga felt a shock. He lowered his head and knelt down.

"Your Highness..."

He yelled with open mouth, and the rest of the words choked into his throat, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Not long ago, he secretly concealed the information of Prince Galland returned from the royal city. At that time, Heimus looked at him, his eyes deep, and there was a vague surge in his eyes.

Then, Prince Huimus, who didn't say a word, put him directly in prison.

On the grounds that the military situation was delayed.

Originally, Soga, who was imprisoned in prison, was very dissatisfied. He was thinking about how to move His Highness next time he saw Himemos, so that Heimos could understand his good intentions.

However, shortly after he was put into prison, a shattered news came suddenly, like a thunder, and the entire North Fortress fell into a dead silence.

This terrible news also left Soga sluggish on the spot.

His mind was blank, and he was completely lost.

King Camos, he...he...

The undefeated God of War in the minds of all the Aaron Landis, including Soga, also subconsciously thought so.

He never thought that King Camos actually--

Actually...

This year, the winter in the northern border of Aaron Landis was exceptionally cold.

Kneeling on the ground, Soga thought silently.

Not long ago, he was still trying to encourage His Highness to fight against King Camos, but when he suddenly received the death of the king, his chest seemed to be empty.

There was nothing but nothing but the cold wind in the north, filled with cold air, bone cold.

...

Perhaps most of the Aaron Landis people now have the same feelings as him.

Grief.

Anxious.

disturbed.

Still confused...

The land of Aaron Landis collapsed.

The solid ground beneath their feet collapsed.

"Soka, I'm going back to the king city, you stay here, my army gives you."

Standing in front of Soga, Huimus looked down at the priest of the night **** who was kneeling at his feet.

He said, "Assist the rider Heya and defend the north."

Soga shook her head and raised her head violently.

"Your Highness! No!"

The golden-red eyes seemed to be caught in the cold wind of winter, and became more and more cold into the bone.

Heimus stared at Soga and said, "The army of the Gasdad has advanced towards the royal city."

His voice was not loud and very calm.

But it was that calmness that made Soga understand in an instant that no one could change Huimus' decision.

Because the unrepaired Prince Galland is now in the royal city.

"His Royal Highness, I can understand your feelings, and my loved one is also in the Wangcheng at this moment."

Taking a deep breath, Soga said.

At this moment, his eyes, which had been somewhat confused these days, became clear again.

The calmness of the night returned to the priest of the night **** again.

"I feel the same about your concerns about Prince Garland."

He calmly persuaded Huimus.

"But, Your Highness, for Aaron Landis, please..."

Soga's words weren't finished yet, and Huimus suddenly chuckled and interrupted him.

…………

………………

One night passed, it was dawn, but the commander's room in the North Fortress was still lit.

Hea stayed up all night again.

At this moment, the consistently strong and sturdy rider has dark eyes under his eyes. In the past, he always combed his neatly foreheads in a messy manner.

The man who stayed up tonight again sat at the table, lowered his head, and pressed one hand on his forehead.

Only when he was alone in the room, Hea dared to show a little tiredness.

The news of the death of King Camos, for him and the soldiers in the Northland, was like a crack.

While the crowd was still immersed in grief and anger, the army of Gaishu, who was repulsed by them not long ago, suddenly made a comeback.

Although the Northland Army with grief and resentment once again successfully repulsed the enemy, it was apparent that the army of Gaishu, who had been informed of the death of King Camos, was stationed on the border.

Obviously, Gaishu has to wait for opportunities.

Disaster is not alone.

The news came again the day before yesterday, and the Gastads used the captured Judas city as a stronghold, and hundreds of thousands of troops began to march toward the king city.

Among the royal cities, only half of the Third Legion guarded it.

Wangcheng is at stake.

Crown Prince Wang, who was seriously injured in the city, was at risk.

Hea gritted his teeth, his fists on the table clenched tightly, and his nails penetrated deeply into his palm.

However, the Northland Army could not move.

They cannot go south to rescue the king city.

The covered army was just across the border, staring at Aaron Landis.

As soon as they move, the northern border may fall immediately.

The army will cover the north and go south all the way.

In this way, Aaron Landis was really over.

It’s not just the northern border. Hea didn’t have to guess. The Eastern border is probably the same. I’m definitely not going to miss this great opportunity.

The Fourth Army in the East must also be unable to move, unable to rescue the King City.

The dim light shone on Hea's side face and made the difficult decision of'don't rescue the king city'. He closed his eyes in pain and exhaled for a long time.

Just then, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the door.

In the next second, the door of the room was pushed open without notice, and an anxious cry from the person rang in the room.

"Your Excellency! Your Highness Huimos will break out of the city gate!"

Hea stood up sharply.

…………

When Hea hurried to the city gate, he saw Prince Huimus, who was confronting the guards of the fortress gate, and the guards who were behind him.

It was early in the morning, and Huimos rode in front of the city gate. White snowflakes fell on his head, dyeing the dark hair a little white.

He stood quietly, his expression indifferent, and did not act too violently. It didn't look like he wanted to break out of the city gate, but more like he was waiting for Hea's arrival.

Layers of soldiers stopped at the gate and looked at him nervously.

Everyone in the North knows the prestige of this ‘black knight’ and understands that no one can stop him here.

But they must obey the orders of their superiors, and even if they die, they cannot let Huimos out of town.

Hea rushed over and stopped sideways in front of Huimus' horse.

"His Royal Highness!"

He snapped.

"What do you want to do!"

Facing the harsh look of Hea, Huimus looked extremely calm.

"Back to the king city."

He said lightly.

That breezy sentence choked Hea, and he just wanted to be angry, but when he looked at Heimus, he looked at him lightly, and his heart was irritated somehow. .

He smiled bitterly.

"Your Highness, you should understand the current situation."

Hea's tone also calmed down.

He looked at Huimus and said, "King Camos died in battle. The army of Gasdard had attacked the king city. Prince Garland was sick in bed, and it was difficult to support the overall situation. I was unable to rescue the king city. "

"once……"

Once the king city fell.

Hea paused and finally failed to speak out this sentence.

"Prince Huimus, if things become like that, you are the only one who can support Aaron Landis, so you must stay here."

He said, "For the future of Aaron Landis..."

Wang Cheng didn't even know if he could hold it.

Once the king city falls, the crown prince in the city will surely die.

If so, Prince Huimus is the only hope.

He would not allow the last heir to the Aaron Landis throne to return to that dangerous place in the royal city.

As if he didn't hear Heya's persuasion at all, Huimus spoke softly again.

"Open the city gate."

He said that Longma took another two steps forward.

Hea stopped riding in front of Huimus, and the team of soldiers behind him also stopped in front of the gate.

He looked at Huimus.

"Unless I step on my body."

He said, be decisive.

"Unless you kill all the Aaron Landis soldiers behind me, sir, we will not let you step out of the city gate!"

Heimus raised his eyes and looked at Heya with golden eyes.

He raised his hand, revealed the scroll that had been in his hand, and threw the paper away in the air.

On the underside of the parchment, the familiar fiery red coat of arms appeared before Hea.

"The handwriting written by King Camos in his hand, he ordered that I return to the city immediately."

As he said, he threw the scroll to Hea.

Hea caught it and looked at the familiar handwriting on the parchment, his eyes widened suddenly.

This is the hand written by King Camos more than half a month ago...that is, a few days before his death.

Holding the scroll of parchment, Hea didn't know what to do for a while.

Wang Ling is absolute.

However, now such a situation...

As Hea hesitated, a voice suddenly came from the opposite side.

"Sir Heya, do you say that because King Camos has passed away, will you violate his orders?"

Heya was furious with a word.

"How dare you so defile my loyalty to the king!"

He glared at the Tsing Yi priest who said what he had just said to him.

"Then express your loyalty, obey King Camos' will, and return His Royal Highness to the royal city."

"........."

During this time, Hea Ben was exhausted because of the scourges that followed, and had no time to rest for a long time. Just now I saw the oracles with my own eyes.

He sullenly said nothing.

Seeing Hea standing there on horseback, watching the scroll in his hand motionless.

Soga said again: "Your Excellency Hea, please follow King Kamos' will."

Last will.

Hea felt a sudden pain.

Even if the king is gone, he can't go against the will of the king.

He lowered his eyes, drove the horse back to the side, gave way, and raised his hand to signal the soldiers on the wall to open the gate.

The heavy winch slowly turned, lifting the gates of the North Fortress. A group of cavalry rushed out of the gate, led by the knight in black armor, galloping on the white snowfield.

In the morning sun, their figure gradually disappeared on the horizon, only the series of horseshoe marks on the snowy field showed their departure.

Then, those horseshoe marks were quickly buried by falling snowflakes.

Standing on the high city wall, Soga looked at the direction of Huimos' departure.

He remembered the conversation between them last night.

...

"His Royal Highness, I feel the same about your anxiety, but for the future of Aaron Landis..."

A low laugh interrupted him.

"Feel the same?"

Suddenly, Soga had a feeling of trembling.

The sensational feeling made him numb after a while, making it difficult to breathe.

auzw.com Can’t tell if it’s the person’s sight above, or the person’s trembling sensation from an unspeakable voice.

"If he is not..."

It was extremely calm, but the voice that made him chill from the bottom of his heart came from above.

"So, everything in this world is meaningless."

He heard Prince Huimos say.

"...Including Aaron Landis."

…………

Soga chose to help his master to leave the north and go to the impending danger.

Because he felt fear.

If Prince Garland really disappeared in this world...

He didn't dare to think about what His Highness would be, and what terrible things he would do.

His Highness Huimos is powerful.

Incomparably powerful.

Everyone thinks so.

But at this moment Soga suddenly realized that maybe...Prince Huimus is actually more vulnerable than anyone.

Because as long as one person, that person can completely collapse it.

…………

……………………

Judas City.

The army of Gasdard has been away for several days, and the whole city has become quieter and quieter.

Perhaps because of the departure of the Gasdade army, the Gasdade who stayed in the city responsible for guarding this stronghold became more and more harsh towards the Aaron Landis.

They adopted high-pressure rule and used extremely harsh means to control the city, allowing the Aaron Landis to honestly obey their orders.

As long as a little bit of dissatisfaction with the Gastads, or those who did not obey the Gastads’ orders, they would be immediately arrested and even executed on the spot.

The soldiers of Gasdard can do whatever they want in the city, they can break into anyone's house and plunder what they want, and if the city people dare to resist, they will be beaten or killed directly.

They used this horrible and brutal rule to control the city of Judas.

In these days, the residents of the city have strained their nerves whether they speak or walk, and the atmosphere does not dare to take a breath.

Under the cruel rule of the Gastads, they lived with fear and trembling.

They even sleep unsteadily every night, and they worry about the invasion of their homes by Gasdard soldiers anytime, anywhere, humiliating their wives and daughters, robbing their belongings, and even taking their lives.

It's not going to happen.

This difficult and humiliating day made Aaron Landis's dissatisfaction resemble a greased flame, becoming more and more fierce.

However, no matter how they hated the Gstaad, they could only continue to endure the bullying of the other party.

On this day, the day passed in a hurry, and it was already late at night.

On the road, calm and quiet, people are rarely seen.

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the street.

A young girl wearing an old cloth towel and holding a bamboo basket in her hand was entangled by several passing Gasdar soldiers on her way home.

Panicked, she begged the soldiers and asked them to let themselves go home.

Of course, her plea had no effect.

As soon as she gritted her teeth, she suddenly kicked the soldier holding her hand while the other party was unprepared. The basket in her hand fell to the ground, and the dry cake was scattered all over the ground.

In the night, she ran forward desperately.

The footsteps of the chasing behind and the screams of the soldiers were like the steps of the devil, approaching her little by little.

The misfortunes of the neighbors and friends seen in the past few days in the hands of these devil-like soldiers emerged from her mind. She gritted her teeth and ran forward desperately.

She held back the tears she was about to shed.

It’s no use crying now. If she is caught up and caught, she has only one way to die—

Seeing that the catching soldier stretched out his hand, he grabbed the girl's hair. Suddenly a stone was kicked in the darkness, and he stopped under the soldier's foot without any trace.

The soldier at the front was tripped and suddenly fell to the ground, blocking the two companions behind him.

The girl who did not know that she had escaped a corner turned around in front, but rushed in and found that she ran into a dead end.

She looked at the wall in front of her face with a blank face, and the footsteps of those people chasing closer and closer made her look desperate.

Suddenly, a hand reached down from the roof of the nearby dwelling.

"catch me."

As the drowning man suddenly saw a driftwood, the girl grabbed that hand desperately.

The next second, she was dragged by the hand to the roof.

It was not clear who was the person who rescued her in the night, she followed the man in a panic and hurriedly fled from here.

The man took her off the other side of the roof, turned several bends, and came to a remote and safe place.

She was still in a state of horror. At this moment, seeing the safety, the fear that had been squeezing all of a sudden rushed into her heart.

She squatted on the ground, buried her head in her skirt, and shook her arms.

Fear of the incident just now, and the fearful life that has been lived since the Gastads occupied the city of Judas, so that at this moment the young girl finally couldn't bear it anymore, sobbing in her voice Got up.

After crying for a few minutes, she finally remembered something.

"Thanks... Thank you for saving me."

She wiped her tears and looked up to thank the people in front of her.

As soon as she looked up, the face under the moonlight left her for a moment.

What a pretty teenager.

She has never seen such a good-looking person.

"Then, that... really, thank you very much..."

In front of such a good-looking boy, she remembered that she was in a dusty and dirty state at the moment. She was a little embarrassed, flushed her face and bowed her head stutteringly and continued to thank.

The teenager looked at her and smiled slightly at her.

"During this time, it is best not to go out alone so late, it is not safe."

He said, then leaned over, reaching for her, as if to pull her off the ground.

The girl shook her head in panic as she looked at the slender, white hand in front of her eyes, and at her rough, muddy hands.

She didn't dare to grab the beautiful hand in front of her. She lowered her head and even dare not to see the boy, she panicked.

"I'm sorry to trouble you... its, in fact, I don't want to go home so late, but there is no way..."

Her mind was blank at this moment, and under the watchful eye of this pretty boy, she didn't even know what she was talking about.

Perhaps it was because the amber eyes were so reassuring that people unconsciously removed all precautions.

Perhaps it was because the teenager's smile felt too warm and filled the chest, as if it was overflowing.

"I'm also scared of the Gasdars..."

She stammered.

"But I can't go to work... Dad is sick... I have to go out to make money..."

"It used to be the same... obviously we had a good time before, and before those Gasdars came... even if our father was sick, we had a good time, but..."

A few words are spoken upside down and incoherent.

The corners of her eyes were sore that she couldn't control it anymore, and the big tears fell suddenly.

She has endured for a long, long time.

Overnight, the sky turned upside down, and her world suddenly changed.

"Uh...uhh...I don't want this kind of life, if I can go back to the past...back to the time when not to be afraid..."

Her hands clasped on the ground, and her tears stained her face with tears.

She whimpered twice, and when there was a reaction, she quickly raised her hand and wiped the tears that were falling.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I suddenly said these messy words to you, I didn't mean it, I just..."

The teenager who had been standing quietly in front of her leaned over.

He squatted in front of the girl.

He reached out his hands and gently held the girl's hand that was trying to wipe the tears.

He held the rough, muddy hands indifferently.

"No need to apologize, you did nothing wrong."

He said softly,

"It's the people who put you in this situation that should apologize."

Holding the hand, the girl stared blankly at the teenager in front of her.

Under the moonlight, her clear eyes, like amber, reflected her shadow.

The eyes seemed to contain her entire body in the warm golden sunlight.

"You are doing well and being strong."

I can't tell why, the young boy's sweet voice seemed to have a magic that penetrated people's hearts and calmed her heart.

"Soon, everything will return to the past, I assure you."

Obviously it was impossible, but from the teenager's mouth, inexplicably gave her a feeling of wanting to trust.

She has a strange feeling.

The teenager looked at her eyes as if guarding her.

That made her feel a sense of peace and calm at the moment, who had been in panic in these days.

"Now, go back first, back to the father who is waiting for you, will you?"

"Ok……"

…………

At this moment, the blonde knight hiding aside looked at the scene not far away.

Looking at Gallan's shallow smile to the girl, his uneasy heart these days has finally relaxed at this moment.

"Fortunately..."

He looked at the prince.

Fortunately, the prince is still the same as before.

"...No change."

"Are you worried about the prince?"

A sturdy man appeared beside him.

"Teva, have you solved it?"

"Well, those guys couldn't find anyone, so they left."

Twa said.

Not long ago, he secretly kicked the stone over and tripped over the soldier.

More than half a month ago, Judas City fell into a dogfight at night, and Tewa, who was extremely sensitive to danger, was one of the few people who had fled Judas City.

After avoiding the chasing soldiers, a few days later, he found the code of Kehuos, and followed the code to find Prince Galland and Kehuos hiding in the deep mountain forest.

Then, following the prince's order, he sneaked into the city of Judas and mixed into the slaves in the city. He had old slave tattoos on him, which made people never doubt his slave identity.

Tonight, he came out to meet the prince secretly in the alley, mainly to report the current situation.

I just didn't expect that I accidentally hit the Aaron Landis girl chased by the Gasdard soldiers.

"My Excellency Kehuos, I don't think you need to worry about the prince."

"...Your Highness experienced cruel things, he witnessed the death of King Camos, he must be very painful, I am worried..."

"You are worried that the prince was stimulated by that incident, and his temperament changed a lot, right?"

"..."

Kehuos did not speak, but silence was the default.

In just half a month, the prince grew up quickly.

After that day, he did not shed a tear, and rarely showed a painful look.

These days, he has been calmly and calmly planning everything.

Kehuos was very worried, because the death of King Camos would make the prince's temperament indifferent and paranoid.

But at this moment, the Cavaliers finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The prince has not changed.

Although his eyes began to become sharp.

But his gentle light is as usual.

"When I was a slave, I saw more people whose temperaments changed a lot because they suddenly became slaves."

Twa said,

"They are too fragile, and the sudden changes in their surroundings make them unbearable, and instinctively want to escape, so their temperaments change greatly."

He suddenly changed the subject.

"Your Excellency Kehos, more than ten years ago, King Camos witnessed the death of the first king poisoned. This is an extremely cruel thing for him, so has his temperament changed so much?"

Kehos did not speak and turned to look at Twa.

"I am just a reckless man from a slave. I don't understand many things. But I know that the real strongman will not change himself because of anything."

"Because their strength allows them to take everything."

Twa said,

"King Camos is like this, and so is the prince now."

Looking up, Twa looked at Galland not far away.

"Sir Kehos, the prince does not need your worries, nor does anyone need to worry."

"He is very strong, very strong...and this kind of power is stronger than you and me, and more than anyone."

"King Camos chose the prince."

Twa said,

"Because Prince Garland is the only powerful person in this world who can inherit the will of the Lion King."

The author has something to say: 　　 Touch the little friends who are willing to go along with the little prince.

The little prince has a strong heart, so he will not be blackened.

He will not change except that he will become stronger and grow faster.
