A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

Kaihos pressed Garlan's back with his hand, and his fingers felt wet.

What the index fingertip touched was a broken arrow, and the cold and hard arrow had sunk deeply into the flesh and blood.

He looked at Garlan.

The face of the prince standing in front of him was abnormally pale at the moment.

Now, Kaihos finally realized that it was not due to excessive physical exertion, but the paleness caused by blood loss.

He didn't realize it until now——

"temple……"

A hand grasped his wrist forcefully, staring at him with burning golden eyes, forcing his words back abruptly.

Garlan panted slightly, staring at Kehos.

"Stop it, Keyhors."

He said, "Say it, and it's over."

When the defense line of the city wall of Tozes was on the verge of collapse, it was because of the arrival of the prince that the soldiers guarding Tozes broke out with crazy morale and drove the pirates down in one fell swoop.

Now, they are also relying on this momentum to tenaciously resist the raging waves of pirates.

Because the prince is here, the soldiers are full of strength.

Garlan, at this moment, is the irreplaceable faith of the Tozes on the battlefield.

Standing on the battlefield at this moment, he is like a banner that condenses the strength of all Tozes.

If once word spreads that he was badly injured...

Flags snapped, beliefs crumbled.

The newly improved morale will immediately collapse, even worse than before, and the entire defense line of the city wall will also collapse.

The city of Tozes really couldn't hold it anymore.

It was because he knew this that Garlan gritted his teeth decisively and broke the exposed shaft of the arrow the moment he was hit by the arrow.

The remaining part was blocked by the cloak, and the oozing blood was also covered by the cloak stained with the blood of many enemies, making it impossible to see whose blood was stained on the cloak.

He tried his best to pretend that nothing had happened, and continued to stand on the fierce battlefield.

"...you need treatment."

Kehoes said, in a low voice, syllables.

At this moment, the knight's voice was so hoarse that it seemed to be forcefully forced out from the depths of his throat.

"After the battle is over."

Garland replied.

His hand still clasped the knight's wrist tightly.

The young prince raised his head. At this moment, the eyes he and Kaihos looked at each other were full of toughness.

"Keep fighting, Kyhoes."

"This is my order," he said.

The corners of the one-eyed knight's eyes trembled uncontrollably.

After a while, he retracted the hand that was pressing on Garlan's back, very slowly and with great difficulty.

His breathing was terribly heavy.

Then, he turned around abruptly, let out a low growl, swung the big sword with both hands, and slashed down heavily.

The big sword split the pirate who rushed behind him in two.

Kaihos seemed to be venting something, that handsome face was slightly distorted at the moment, revealing a bit of cruelty, bursting out with terrifying power, it was actually the bunch of pirates who were about to rush over in an instant Killed cleanly.

The knight of the sun stood on the wall, before his prince.

The originally bright blond hair was completely stained red with blood, and the blood sprayed onto his face flowed down his side cheeks. At this moment, his face was very gloomy, his eyes were full of terrifying evil spirit, and he could no longer see A little bit of the sun that is called the knight of the sun.

On the walls of Tozeth, the fierce battle continues.

It is like a greedy meat grinder, endlessly devouring everyone's life and flesh and blood.

Everyone involved in this war has completely fallen into madness.

Either you die or I live.

This is the portrayal of the battlefield.

Perhaps because he couldn't bear to witness this bloody battlefield, the sun disappeared into the clouds at some point, hiding his figure, and the sky darkened.

Not long after, the drizzle began to fall sparingly again.

The dry bloodstains on the city wall were washed down, and the blood mixed with the rainwater flowed to the ground, converging into pools of black and red water, soaking the corpses.

Amidst the rustling rain, night fell on the third day.

The pirates who had been unable to attack for a long time had no choice but to retreat slowly amidst the sound of horns.

Killing the last pirate in front of him, Kyhoes turned back.

Garlan was still standing there, on the city wall, in the sight of everyone.

Even in the night, his wet blond hair shone brightly against the lights.

He just stood there and let everyone's eyes fall on him.

As long as the prince is still standing on the city wall, they will not take half a step back!

Everyone swears so in the bottom of their hearts.

They could only look at the prince's upright figure and bright blond hair from a distance.

Only the one-eyed knight standing beside Garlan could clearly see the young man's pale face, and his lips where there was almost no trace of blood.

There are still bite marks on that lip, which are the bite marks of the young man who tried his best to stand on this battlefield.

Suppressing some of the surging emotions in his heart, Kayhos took a deep breath. He didn't say anything, but made a polite gesture.

He bowed slightly, and stretched out his hand in front of Garlan.

The boy with pale lips looked up at him, then raised his hand and put it on the palm of Kaihos.

The one-eyed knight kept the polite gesture of "supporting" his prince, and walked forward with the prince, slowly walking down the city wall.

The right hand he was raising was stably horizontal in mid-air, motionless, as if the hand was not bearing a little force.

...'Xu Fu'.

Yes, it seems so.

But only the two parties know that Garlan's hand was pressed on Kaihos's hand, and almost half of his body was supported on that hand, so that he could walk calmly and calmly under the gaze of everyone. Go down to the city wall.

…………

As soon as he returned to the Consulate's room, the door was closed tightly, and Kayhos immediately stretched out his arms and hugged Garlan horizontally.

The blood-stained cloak was torn off and thrown to the ground.

Garlan, who was carried onto the bed by Kaihors in three steps at a time, was lying on the bed, his back, his clothes had been soaked into a blood-red patch.

scoff.

The blood-red clothes were ripped open, and a broken arrow was stuck on the boy's pale back.

The point of the arrow sank close to the shoulder blade.

Kyhos stared at the broken arrow solemnly, and pressed his fingers lightly near the tip of the arrow, and his pale back immediately trembled immediately under the fingertips.

The tip of the arrow has a tearing effect. Once it is forcibly pulled out, a large blood hole will be torn open on the back, and the blood will immediately gush out like a fountain, which will temporarily lose the ability to move.If the bleeding is not stopped in time, it will cause death due to excessive blood loss.

That's why Garlan only broke the shaft of the arrow and didn't pull it out.

Kyhos pulled out the personal dagger from his waist that he hadn't used today, and roasted the blade on the candle for a long time.

Then, he leaned over, put one hand on Garlan's back, held the dagger in the other, and used the point of the sword to cut open the flesh at the point of the arrow.

The arrow had been pierced into the flesh for too long, and some flesh had scabbed nearby, melting the arrow into it.

The scabbed skin must be reopened.

When the sharp point of the sword sliced ​​through the skin and flesh bit by bit, Garlan's pale back, which was held down by Kaihos, was constantly trembling.

His fingers clenched the bed so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

Kyhoes put down the dagger, and said, "Prince, find something to bite on."

Garlan took a deep breath, opened his mouth and bit the pillow forcefully.

Kehoes still had one hand on his back and the other held the Broken Arrow.

Then, pull hard——

"!!!"

The golden pupils shrank violently.

The broken arrow was forcibly pulled out of the flesh and blood, and the diamond-shaped arrow tip tore the skin suddenly. The blood sprayed from the wound splashed on the side cheek of Kaihos, and even fell on the young man's tense back in a series. back.

The tight shoulders made the butterfly bones on his back protrude deeply, like the broken wings of a butterfly.

The crimson red of the splashed blood on the back made the skin on the young man's back so pale that it was almost translucent, which made people feel shocking at a glance.

Kehos kept his hands on, and quickly applied a hemostatic medicine to the wound, and then wrapped it tightly with a bandage.

After he finished all this, he looked up, only to find that Garlan had not moved at all. It turned out that he had passed out while pulling out the arrow.

In the silent night, the room was quiet, only the slight sound of breathing could be heard.

The boy leaned over on the bed, his long blond hair spread out on the snow-white bed quilt.

A thin layer of sweat oozed from the back of his slender neck.

That half of the face was deeply buried in the soft pillow, and the exposed half of the pale side face was almost devoid of blood.

He closed his eyes, his slender eyelashes drooped down, and there was still a little drop of water at the end, which was trembling slightly, as if it was too fragile to bear any more weight.

Kehos stood by the bed and looked at Garlan who had fallen into a coma.

The blood-stained blond hair was messily scattered in front of his eyes, making it impossible to see the expression on his face at this moment.

But he could see his hand hanging by his side clenched into a fist.

On the clenched fist, the veins on the back of the hand popped.

Suddenly, a light knock on the door came from outside, and the sound woke up the silent knight. He turned his head and took a look, and after gently covering Garlan's body with a thin blanket, he turned around and tried his best to Quickly walked out of the room.

His personal guards were outside the door, telling him that Seth and other generals had arrived in the hall downstairs and were counting today's battle damage. He and His Royal Highness were invited to go there.

"The prince is too tired and is resting. I'll just go."

Kejos said that several personal guards were ordered to stand guard at the door and in the hallway, and no one was allowed to enter the room.

After finishing his instructions, he turned around and walked quickly to the hall.

In the quiet room, there was only a slight breathing sound.

I don't know how long it took, but the sky outside was completely dark and gloomy. The lights in the room were still on, the windows were closed, and the rain was hitting the windows. It was light rain at first, and then as the sky darkened ,getting bigger.

The bean-sized raindrops fell down, making a loud knocking sound.

The sleeping boy was awakened by the sound of heavy rain. He still kept lying on the bed and slowly opened his eyes.

There was a layer of blush on the pale face, but the lips were still bloodless and a little chapped.

water……

he thought unconsciously.

Looking around slowly, his eyes fell on the glazed jug on the table at the side of the room. The clear water in it made his throat twitch slightly.

Throat was so thirsty that it seemed to split open.

Garlan stood up, resisting the sharp pain in his back that was almost convulsive, got out of bed, and walked towards the table.

I don't know if it was because of excessive blood loss, his hands and feet were a little weak.

What's more, when he stood up, he felt very dizzy in his head, and the kettle not far away had doubled in his sight for a few seconds.

……

The body is very hot, as if there is a feeling that the whole person is being burned in the fire.

His panting was severe, but even the breath he exhaled was hot, making him dizzy.

He took a few steps forward again, and suddenly his eyes went dark, his feet softened, and he fell headfirst on the wooden floor, making a loud bang.

"prince?!"

The door was pushed open abruptly, and just after finishing the conversation with Seth and other generals, Kaihos, who was thinking about Garlan's rushing back, rushed in anxiously.

He raised his foot and wanted to run towards the fallen boy, but just as he took a step, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and closed the door tightly, and then hurriedly ran to pick Garlan up.

As soon as his hand touched Garlan, the expression on Kaihos' face changed.

So hot!

Garlan closed his eyes and lay powerlessly in his arms. At this moment, his obviously pale face had an abnormal crimson color. Thin sweat kept oozing from his scalding forehead, and his wet blond hair stuck to him. cheek.

The bloodless lips were slightly parted, and the breath was short of breath, and the lips looked very dry.

Keyhos's heart shuddered.

He was injured by an arrow but did not go down for treatment in time.

The wounded body continued to forcefully fight.

Then, it rained and got soaked.

It is likely that the wound was also soaked, causing evil spirits to invade and become inflamed.

The chain reaction caused by this finally made this overwhelmed body feverish.

...And it's not just an ordinary fever, the degree of scalding the skin, this kind of heat, is already considered very serious.

No!

Even at the risk of the news of the prince's injury being leaked, he had to bring the doctor over immediately.

The knight thought so, and put Garlan back on the bed. He had just let go, and before he could straighten up, there was suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and someone rushed over and knocked heavily on the door.

"His Royal Highness Garlan! Lord Kehoes!"

The people outside the door shouted anxiously.

"The pirates launched a night raid—"

Kaihos took a breath, and in the next second, a monstrous anger swept from the depths of his body.

The evil spirit all over his body exuded.

At this moment, anger raged like a storm, and the knight was already furious to the extreme.

Those pirates are so deceitful!

The killing intent in the knight's only remaining eye was overwhelming.

And in the next second, the thought of 'can't let the prince know' came to his mind immediately, and he shouted to the people outside the door to shut up.

Then, he stood up and planned to leave.

However, just as he was about to get up, a hand suddenly grabbed his arm.

Reflecting the light, the back of that hand was pale and almost transparent, but the fingers clasped his arm tightly.

His heart tightened, and when Kaihos lowered his head, he saw Garlan's eyes, which had been closed just now, slowly opened.

Under the slender eyelashes, there is a golden light.

The young man clutched his arm, lowered his eyes, panted rapidly, and made a weak but firm voice.

"Kayhors, change my clothes."

Keyhors paused for breath, and then, he gritted his teeth.

"No, Your Highness, it is impossible to do anything with your current physical condition."

He said, "Please rest here and leave the rest to us."

"Kayhors..."

Garlan's voice was weak.

"Prince, you can't even stand up now! How can you still stand on the battlefield?"

The burning feeling in his heart made the knight uncontrollably forget his dignity at this moment, and growled at Garlan in a disrespectful tone, almost reprimanding him.

"When did you suffer from this kind of suffering since you were a child? Even if you go to the battlefield, you won't be able to survive!"

The eyelashes were raised, and the golden eyes glanced at Keyhos.

"...I can hold on."

The boy said so.

The abnormal blush on his face was like a crimson flame burning and devouring his vitality bit by bit.

His lips were shockingly pale.

But the way he looked at Keyhos was calmer and calmer than anything else.

What else in this world can be more painful than death?

Suppressing the burning sensation in his body as if being burned by fire, and the tearing pain in his back, Garlan gritted his teeth and propped up his limp body with all his strength.

He knows he can take it.

It's not that he hasn't suffered.

He died four times.

Therefore, the pain at this moment is nothing to him.
