A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

Elson's little princess did not come with the fleet at first, although she planned to come with the fleet at first, but was stopped by the queen.

For the sake of her safety, Vinier sent someone to pick her up after confirming that the war was over and the city of Tozes was safe.

After the first farce ended, Tal, who was the negotiator between Aaron Landis and Elson, introduced the identity of Heymos to the little princess and the female general.

After knowing Heymos's identity, General Venier was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at the black-haired young man carefully again.

This is another Prince Aaron Landis who is rumored to be called the 'Black Knight of Hell', Heymos?

She looked at Heymos with some doubts in her eyes.

According to rumors, this prince is an extremely powerful figure.

If it is said that the knight of the scorching sun, Kaihus, in addition to being praised for his bravery, is also praised in rumors for having a "beautiful appearance like the sun god" and is famous in the mainland for his flair, then this Prince Heymos is the one who is praised. It is described in terms of 'like a bloody blade' and 'the crescent moon of death in the dark night'.

Wherever he went, everyone was terrified.

Powerful, fierce, hard-edged...and, terrifying.

'On the battlefield, the dark figure came like the blood of hell'.

This is how the world described the prince of Aaron Landis in the rumors.

However, no matter how Vinil looked at the moment, she couldn't see the feeling in the rumors.

Indeed, this prince Heymos felt very dangerous to her, but that was the danger she felt as a warrior to another warrior who was too powerful for her to fight against.

And the so-called 'Hell's Black Knight' breath, she can't feel it from this prince at all?

Don't talk about hostility or bloody aura, this Prince Heymos exudes a soft aura all over his body at this moment, as if wrapped in clouds, especially when he looks at Prince Garlan's eyes, it is even softer It's too bad, it's like soaking in sugar water.

And when Prince Garlan rubbed the corner of his mouth just now, this person was obviously taller than Prince Garlan, but when the tall body bent down, there was no sense of disobedience, just like a head obediently letting the master touch his head Like a giant wolf.

From this point of view, the relationship between the two princes seems to be quite close.

However, rather than saying that the two princes have a good relationship, it would be better to say...

Vinier looked at it and always felt that something was wrong.

This Prince Heymos looked at Prince Garlan's eyes, always felt... very subtle, and it seemed that only the two princes had very different atmospheres around them, which was very strange.

She couldn't explain clearly. Anyway, she was watching as a bystander, and she felt a little numb inexplicably, extremely uncomfortable, as if she was forcibly fed something she didn't want to eat.

The female general Eilson didn't know that this feeling could be perfectly described in just four words in Garlan's world.

Force feed dog food.

Throwing away these messy thoughts in her mind, Vinier took a step forward, put one hand on her chest, and knelt down to salute Prince Heymos whom she had met for the first time.

"You two princes, I came here to hope that Aaron Landis can fulfill the previous agreement."

She said, "Prince Garlan, the envoy you sent once made an agreement with our queen. Presumably your envoy should have informed you."

As soon as Vinier was talking about business, the little princess beside her also showed a serious look on her little face.

Although a bit reluctant, Emma, ​​who knew her duty, still bowed seriously to Wei Wei and saluted Heymos.

Glancing at the little princess who was saluting to him, Heymos nodded and accepted the salute, then looked sideways at Garlan.

He asked: "Promise?"

Garlan hummed.

"I didn't know you could come here in four days, so I asked Allson for help in advance. I promised them that as long as they sent troops to rescue Tozes, I would let Aaron Landis admit that they were a country alone, and allow Aaron Landis Diss merchants trade with Eilson. Moreover, open the port to trade with Eilson, and give them the most favorable business tax."

He did not say that this was an agreement made by Tal without authorization, but directly took it upon himself.

Because he felt that he sent Tal to be the messenger, so what Tal said was equivalent to his words.

After speaking to Heymos, he set his eyes on the female general Allson who was kneeling in front of him.

"Of course I will fulfill this agreement. After returning to the royal city, I will definitely persuade Brother Kamos to issue the royal order. However, these things will take time, and Queen Elson please wait patiently for a while."

When Garlan said that he needed to wait for a while, Vinier's heart suddenly rose.

Eilson is not good at diplomacy. It's not that they never tried to communicate with other countries a long time ago, but they almost all suffered losses.

After several times of suffering, they understood that the need for time in diplomacy is actually an excuse to shirk, and often this sentence is said, and the matter has no follow-up.Although they were angry because of this, there was nothing they could do.After suffering a few losses, they simply closed their doors and stopped contacting the outside world.

So at this moment, when she heard the prince say the familiar diplomatic rhetoric, she thumped in her heart, and couldn't help but want to say something, but then thought, this time because Prince Heymos arrived in time with the army and fleet , so although they assisted in attacking the pirates, it was far from saving the city of Tozes and Prince Garlan.

Therefore, even if Aaron Landis refused to fulfill the agreement on this ground, they could not refute it.

Just when Vinier's mind was heavy, Garlan, who had pondered for a while, continued to add another sentence.

He said: "I promise you, within half a year at the latest, I will fulfill the agreed content one by one."

In an instant, Vinier breathed a sigh of relief, and let go of her high-hanging heart.

Fortunately, the Queen was right.

she thinks.

The little prince did not use words to perfuse himself.

He is worthy of their trust.

"Thank you very much."

Eilson's female general looked up at Garlan, with a hint of gratitude in her heart.

"Prince Garlan, the Elsons will remember your kindness."

She paused, as if she had made a decision, and added another sentence.

She stared at Garlan and said, "Please don't forget that Ailson will always be your loyal ally."

People who treat Allson people with sincerity will also be treated sincerely by Allson people.

Since Eilson is weak and destined to attach himself to a country in order to survive, then he must entrust it to someone they can trust.

Just after Garlan finished his conversation with the female general Eilson, Kaihos who was on the side stepped forward two steps.

He said: "Your Highness, if you have time now, please meet someone."

"Ok?"

"A man who was a slave."

Kehoes replied.

"He made great achievements in the defense of Tozes City, but he refused to exchange his achievements for property. He came to me and said that he wanted to exchange all his achievements for a chance to see you."

"That day you were..." The knight glanced at the Elson man from the corner of his eye, and changed his words, "When you were in danger, it was because he found out what was wrong in time that we were able to rush over. "

"Now, he is waiting for your call outside."

Garlan nodded.

"I see, let him in."

When hearing the word "slave", little princess Elson couldn't help but frown.

There are also slaves in Eilson Country, but all the slaves there are men, and most of them are prisoners of war of Eilson female soldiers.They are designated to live in the most remote areas and do the most menial and tiring work.

In Emma's mind, those male slaves were extremely humble existences.

Therefore, when she heard that Garlan was actually going to meet a slave, she felt a little nervous.

But she also knew in her heart that this was Aaron Landis, and as a foreigner, she shouldn't talk too much about this kind of thing, so she kept her mouth shut.

However, she rolled her eyes and moved closer to Garlan's side, grabbing one of Garlan's hands.

When Emma grabbed Garlan's hand, the young man she didn't like looked over at him. Although it hurt, Emma pretended not to see it, and still held Garlan's hand tightly. Sticking to Garlan's side.

Against the piercing gaze, the little princess who successfully responded to Heymos was very happy.

Soon, the young slave was summoned.

When this slave appeared in front of everyone, even the little princess who didn't care about slaves and the female general Elson were stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at it again.

Completely different from the humble and thin slave in their impression, this middle-aged man who is said to be a slave has a strong physique. Although his face looks simple and honest, his eyes are full of light.

From his body, he could vaguely feel a bloody breath, which was the breath of courage that could only seep out from the bones after a brutal fight.

As soon as the middle-aged man entered the door, he glanced slightly and landed on Garlan, then walked straight up to Garlan and knelt down.

"You use all your military exploits in exchange for a chance to see me?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Seth told me about your bravery. You have made a lot of contributions in defending the city. I have asked him to agree to your request and let you join the army."

Garlan asked, "Didn't he tell you about this?"

The man shook his head.

"Master Seth has arranged for me to join the army, and even gave me the position of captain, but I refused."

He said, "Although I have your special permission, it is obvious that I am not welcome to come."

Even though he possesses the bravery that is not inferior to any Aaron Landis soldiers, and the great achievements he has made, the man can see clearly that the eyes of those soldiers looking at him are still looking at the eyes of slaves.

Those people would not accept him as a companion at all, and he could not have any future if he stayed here.

Thinking of this, the man took a deep breath, raised his head, and stared at the young prince in front of him.

"Your Highness Garlan, my name is Teva, I hereby beg you, please let me follow you."

He said, "Maybe I can't compare to Lord Kehoes, but I am confident that I have the strength not inferior to the guards around you. I am willing to dedicate my life and all my loyalty to you."

As soon as the man finished speaking, there was a sneer from beside him.

The little princess who was standing by the side holding Garlan's hand laughed out loud.

She looked at the man with a smile and said, "Are you going to say next, in order to repay the prince for giving you freedom, so you want to follow him?"

The little girl smiled cutely, but her eyes were icy cold that didn't match her age at all.

She stood there, looking down at the slave man proudly and condescendingly.

"This excuse is really good. Of course, being able to pick up the prince is much more cost-effective than being a soldier captain in this small city."

"I've seen a lot of people like you."

Ever since she was a child, as a princess, she has seen many such guys who find various excuses to get close to her and try to cling to her. She despises this kind of person the most.

Her tone revealed obvious contempt, and then she turned her head to look at Garlan.

"Brother Garlan, don't agree to him, this kind of guy who is trying to gain power cannot stay at all."

The kneeling man clenched his fists tightly, and the back of his hand was faintly bulging, but he lowered his head and closed his mouth tightly, without saying a word.

He couldn't refute, and couldn't refute.

Because this little princess did hit one of his thoughts.

He did make up his mind and felt that this approach would be more beneficial to him, so he took a risky gamble and came to see the prince.

Therefore, at this moment, he could only lower his head in silence, waiting for the final result.

Presumably, once the little princess said it, the prince would definitely not agree to him.

Garlan didn't answer directly, but glanced at the kneeling man, and then looked at Kehos.

"Kayhos, what is his ability?"

"It's a middle-class talent." Probably guessing what the prince was thinking, the blond knight smiled and replied, "It's much inferior to me, but as he said, his strength now surpasses all the guards around you."

"Well, that's fine, let him join the personal guard, you can arrange it."

Garlan nodded and said.

The personal guards around him were all arranged by Kaihos, who was his guardian knight, so it was natural for Teva to be arranged by Kaihos when he entered his personal guard.

The man who had already accepted his fate of failure was taken aback, and couldn't believe his ears for a moment.

He looked up at Garlan in astonishment.

He was even ready to be hated by the prince, but unexpectedly...

"Brother Garlan!"

Emma on the side became anxious and tugged at Garlan's hand.

"I told you, he just wants to cling to you as a prince! You can't have this kind of person!"

Garlan didn't say anything, just smiled and patted the little princess on the head, as if to comfort her.

Then, he turned his eyes to Heymos.

"I have stayed in Tozes City for too long, and now you are here too. There is no one guarding the King City, and Brother Wang is still fighting against Yisi in the east. We have to return to the King City as soon as possible. However, your hands ..."

When Garlan said this, Heymos's eyelashes moved suddenly, just because the movement was too fast for people to see clearly.

He shook his head.

"My hand is fine." He looked at Garlan and said calmly, "It's time to go back to the royal city."

As a result of the final discussion, regardless of Heymos' hand injury or the arrow injury on Garlan's back, they would continue to stay in Tozes City for four to five days under Caihuos' persuasion.

When the doctor confirmed that there was no big problem, he set off to return to Wangcheng.Those officials and wealthy businessmen who abandoned the city and fled and colluded with pirates will be escorted back to the royal city together, waiting to be punished.

Since Tozes City has no defense force, half of the royal navy fleet will be temporarily stationed here.The reorganization of the Tozes fleet and the selection of a new consul can only be issued by King Kamos himself after he returns to the royal city after his war with Gashu.

Afterwards, Keyhos informed Seth and others about the matter.

As a result, the news that Prince Garlan was about to leave Tozes and return to the Royal City quickly spread throughout Tozes City.

Immediately afterwards, under the petition of everyone in the city of Tozes, Seth went to discuss with Kaihos, and finally decided that a grand banquet would be held in the city of Tozes the day before the two princes returned to the royal city.

On the one hand, it is to appease the emotions of the citizens of Tozes who have been frightened for a long time, and on the other hand, it is also to send off the prince.

The city of Tozes quickly became lively, and the previous panic was gone, and everyone looked beaming.

This time the celebration was naturally also held on the huge square in front of the Consulate.

On this day, countless townspeople from Tozes flocked in, crowding the huge square to the brim.

Before evening, the square was already bustling with joy.Everyone was smiling, and they came with their families. They enjoyed the joy of the celebration heartily and recklessly at this moment after the catastrophe.

A high platform with guardrails in the Consul Government extends from mid-air, above the square, it is open to the open air.Whether you look down from the high platform or look up from the square, you can see each other clearly.

When the night's celebration was about to begin, Seth and the others entered the high platform one after another and sat down in their respective seats.

When everyone appeared on the open-air high platform, regardless of the official position of that person, it would cause a burst of cheers from the people in the square below.

People in Tozes City will never forget that it was these generals and officials who insisted on staying without fear of life and death, leading them through the most difficult moment.

Even the little princess Eilson and the female warriors, who are not very familiar to the people of Tozes, attracted friendly cheers from the crowd when they appeared on the high platform.

They were thanking the Elsons for their rescue of Tozeth City.

Amid the bursts of cheers from the crowd, the boy's figure appeared in front of the crowd.

The light of the lights around the high platform reflected on the long golden hair like gold, and the hollow hair ornament carved from emerald green malachite symbolizing the God of Wisdom was entangled in the strands of golden hair.

Garlan, who was dressed in light colors, appeared on the high open-air platform under the gaze of everyone.

His fair skin reflected the dim light of the lamp, and on his forehead was a crimson Shamash rune.

When he walked forward, the night wind blowing over the high platform lifted the long hair on the back of his neck, forming a golden arc in the dark night.

The pale green peridot brooch, which can expel people's fear and evil of the night, and symbolizes the radiance of the sun fastened the collar of the cloak on his shoulders. When he walked forward, the knee-length cloak flew up behind him .

When the blond prince appeared, all sounds stopped abruptly.

All sounds seemed to disappear at this moment.

The whole earth was silent.

It was as if time and space stopped for a second at this moment.

The sudden and unreasonable silence startled the little princess who had already sat down, and subconsciously looked towards the square under the high platform.

what happened?

she thinks.

Why suddenly there is no sound at all?

What happened?

However, the moment she just turned her head and set her eyes on the square——

Suddenly, caught off guard.

The entire square erupted in a terrible cry like an exploding thunder.

The cheers like a tsunami swept across the entire earth.

Emma was stunned by the astonishing shout, and she could only watch this incredible and shocking scene with her eyes wide open.

At this moment, the whole world seemed to be shocked.

In the light of the night, countless people stretched out their hands frantically, trying their best to reach the direction where their prince was.

They howled, cheered, and shouted hoarsely for their prince.

They seem to have engulfed the whole world in a frenzied flame at this moment, burning crazily, as if they could burn everything up.

"prince!"

"Prince Garlan!"

"May the light of Shamash be with you!"

"The glory of the gods will always be with you!"

"May you be honored forever—"

That voice was deafening.

The cheers resounded throughout the world.

The ground was shaking, and the entire city of Tozes seemed to be shaking amidst the shouts of countless people.

The endless sound spread far away, and even the boundless sea seemed to stir up waves.

……
