A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

Almost all the limbs were paralyzed, and the body was throbbing with severe colic pains one after another. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been rolling on the ground in pain, but King Kamos was still standing.

He tried his best to control his body and stood upright. Even though the veins on his forehead were bulging, there was no trace of pain on his resolute face.

He stands tall and straight, like a mountain rising from the earth, like a brown pine pointing to the sky,

Even though his face was pale and the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth was still flowing slowly, no one could deny that as long as he was still standing there, people would feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.

The seriously injured lion is still the king of beasts.

No one can erase his majesty.

No one dare not fear his existence.

"I trust you, Yunus."

A pair of tiger eyes stared deeply at Yunus, and the shock and outburst of anger in Kamos' eyes had all dissipated.

The way he looked at Yunus was terrifyingly calm at this moment.

"I trust the warrior who once fought side by side with me, I trust the hero who spared his life to protect Aaron Landis..."

Speaking of this, King Kamos's voice paused for a moment, and he lost his voice for a moment.

His tone was indifferent, but from his momentary loss of voice, one could feel the indescribable pain deep in his heart at this moment.

"But, Jonas, what you've done has made my trust a joke."

King Kamos continued.

Up to now, the anger in his eyes looking at Yunus was gone, just like looking at a stranger, looking at a despicable enemy.

Nothing but indifference.

"You betrayed me, your king, and Aaron Landis."

In the deep voice of Kamos, Yunas, who had been kneeling on the ground, slowly stood up, looked up and looked at Kamos, and the bright light fell on the gray hair on his cheeks.

"I betrayed you, but I did not betray Aaron Landis."

He looked at Kamos with burning eyes.

"I have no choice."

Yunus said.

The old man's face looked very calm, without the uneasiness and embarrassment that a betrayer should show.

Because in his own eyes, he is not a traitor.

He firmly believes in his loyalty and justice.

"All of this could have been avoided, we could have avoided this step."

"As long as you promised me just now to abolish the current crown prince and replace him with the noble blooded Prince Heymos, I will give you the antidote before you become poisoned."

The old man's hoarse voice was like a low sigh.

"In this way, nothing will happen...My lord, I am still your most loyal subordinate, and the relationship between us will remain the same as before, and nothing will change."

King Kamos did not speak.

He pursed his thick lips tightly, and the moonlight shone through the skylight, dancing in his brown hair.

He lowered his eyes, shadows fell on his eye sockets, and he frowned as if thinking about something.

Yunus took a step forward and reached out to pick up the half cup of tea that was still steaming.

Then, he raised his hand and slowly poured the remaining half cup of tea on the ground.

In the silent room, thin streams of water fell from a high altitude, and were then completely absorbed by the brown carpet.

"My lord, you were once a great king. You once saved Aaron Landis with all your strength. You are worthy of the blood of the gods flowing through you."

"I was once proud of you," said the old man.

"Over the years, I have never regretted the sword I blocked for you, even if I lost my left hand forever."

"However, the long time has changed you."

"You have forgotten your identity, the blood flowing in your body, and the glory of Aaron Landis that has been passed down since ancient times."

"By now, you have even begun to forget the will of the gods."

The old man said that his tone of voice was like a judgment.

From the emotion and sigh at the beginning, it gradually became cold and hard, and became extremely severe.

It was as if he was judging this rebellious king on behalf of the gods.

"Noble blood must rule over all people. This is the will of the gods. It has been so for thousands of years, but you—how dare you try to challenge the will of the gods?"

King Kamos listened blankly, but suddenly guessed something, his face sank suddenly.

His eyes burst out with sharp light and shot straight at Yunus.

"It's you?"

He spoke suddenly, staring at Yunus with piercing eyes.

"It's you, Yunas, who is behind the assassination of the crown prince again and again in the royal city."

He said in a firm tone.

"It's me, but it's not just me."

Yunus replied.

"That's all those who really want to protect Aaron Landis and carry out the will of the gods."

"King Kamos, it's you who pushed us to this point—you promoted the white blood of the lower blood to be on par with us time and time again, and in the end you even went so far as to let a white prince crush you On the truly noble bloodline, the foundation stone that shakes Aaron Landis—it is you who forced us here!"

The old man said loudly, his words were full of anger.

His face was tough and well-defined, and at this moment, he had a resolute expression, which made his words and deeds at the moment give people a sense of righteousness.

"You turn a blind eye to everyone's advice, we try our best to advise you, but you refuse to pay attention, we can only watch helplessly as you lead Aaron Landis down the wrong path step by step..."

"As a member of the royal family, I cannot just watch you continue to act recklessly and lead Aaron Landis to the path of destruction."

Yunus said, his tone was decisive and decisive.

"Even if you bear the crime of killing the king—"

At this moment, he was like an upright courtier who had the courage to face the fatuous monarch.

At this moment, the old man is like a hero who bears and dedicates everything for Aaron Landis.

The words are conclusive, and there is no turning back.

It even made him feel moved by it——

However, at the moment when the old city lord Yunas's loud words fell to the ground, inappropriate laughter resounded in the room.

The haha ​​laughter instantly shattered the excited atmosphere in the room.

"It's really embarrassing for you, Yunus, something that can be explained in a few words, you have to talk about it for a long time, and find a lot of high-sounding reasons."

King Kamos, who had been supporting his body and stood expressionlessly on the spot, sneered.

"Not tired?"

He raised his hand and wiped the dried blood from the corner of his mouth.

"I say for you, 'I'm going to usurp the throne.'"

King Kamos sneered.

"How simple a few words, it's hard to say?"

As soon as King Kamos said these words, the old man's face froze.

The next second, he flew into a rage.

It is not clear whether his selflessness was misunderstood, or because he was stabbed in the most secret thoughts in his heart, he no longer had the impassioned appearance of the previous moment, but glared at Kamos, The beard and hair are all Zhang.

"No! Everything I do is for Aaron Landis."

he growled.

"You will destroy Aaron Landis, so someone must replace you, the fallen king, and rebuild the order of Aaron Landis!"

And that person is himself.

He was for Aaron Landis!

His eyes were fierce, and the face that had been wearing a dignified mask finally shattered at this moment, showing a ferocious look. Yunas stopped wasting time and pulled out the long sword at his waist.

He slashed at King Kamos with a sword.

King Kamos drew his sword with difficulty to block it.

Even though he was severely poisoned, his body was cramped and his limbs were paralyzed, he still forcibly moved his arms, almost resisting Yunus' attack with pure will.

However, Huluopingyang was bullied by dogs.

The body corroded by the poison could barely use one-tenth of its normal strength, and Kamos was forced back step by step by Yunus.

Finally, with a loud clang, the dagger in his hand was knocked flying by Yunus.

The severe pain that almost made people feel that the internal organs were burning caused King Kamos to spit out a mouthful of black blood again. After all, he was exhausted and slammed back against the wall heavily.

Leaning against the wall, he stood with the last of his strength and fixed his eyes on the traitor who was approaching him.

A lion caught in a trap, even in the face of death, will stick to his majesty as the king of beasts.

"You are useless, Kamos."

"I also have the blood of the royal family. A rebel like you can be a king. Why can't I?"

The old man kept talking, his brown eyes similar to those of King Kamos were full of excitement to the point of madness.

Probably because he was about to succeed and was too excited, he kept talking.

"I have already agreed with that person...the one who killed you was the assassin sent by the Gastadians...After you die, when the Gastadians attack aggressively, I will replace you and lead Aaron Lan Diss defeated them and became the new king..."

The crisis in the North and East has been resolved, leaving only the West.

And what he paid was the desolate land on the western border. That man made an agreement with him that as long as they gave Gasdard those deserts, they would pretend to be defeated by him and return to Karnal.

And he, Yunus, will save Aaron Landis once again.

He will become the new king and rebuild the real order destroyed by Kamos!

Watching Yunus raise his sword and approach him.

Kamos, who was leaning against the wall and could not move, was panting violently, blood was continuously flowing from the corner of his mouth, and there was a trace of pain in his eyes when he looked at Yunus.

Jonas was right in saying that a long time is enough to change a person beyond recognition.

The saddest thing in this world is the red face and white hair, and the old hero.

Yunus.

This hero who shared joys and sorrows with him in the most difficult years and risked his life for Aaron Landis...

...A comrade in arms who once fought side by side with me...

Still getting old...

... Corroded by the long years, the old hero did not fall on the tragic battlefield, but fell under his own greed...

The heroes of the past are dead.

The Uncle Yunus he remembered was dead.

The one who wants to take his life in front of him now is just a hideous traitor who even colludes with foreign races in order to seize the throne.

He, Kamos, fought for half his life, and died at the hands of such a person——

A pair of brown eyes were full of unwillingness, and King Kamos gritted his teeth, but his body eroded by poison was already trying his best to stand up.

He opened his eyes wide, and the veins on his forehead bulged, but he could only watch helplessly as the long sword that was held high slashed heavily at him.

At the last moment, what flashed through his mind was the child's bright smiling face with crescent-like smiling eyes.

Garlan, my royal brother.

Forgive me, I failed to fulfill my promise.

I failed to deliver you a peaceful Aaron Landis.

The moonlight was like water, reflecting the cold light of the sword that was slashing straight at Kamos.

And at this moment, a figure jumped in from the window in the middle of the castle.

The person rushed forward.

The hood of the cloak slipped back, and black hair, tied in a lock, flew high in the moonlight.

While rushing forward, the visitor touched his waist and pulled out the short sword he was carrying.

A silver light passed by.

There was a clang, the crisp sound of metal hitting.

The short sword that was swung suddenly blocked the long sword that was slashing at King Kamos at the very moment.

Yunus' pupils shrank violently.

Through the crossed blades, he saw a pair of bright golden eyes in the sparks splashed upon impact.

The purest golden eyes are like the rays of the sun in the sky.

It is extremely bright, as if it can burn the eyes of those who look at it.

[That is the blood of the gods, the descendant of gold. 】

[Aaron Landis, the supreme king, he has golden pupils like the sun, illuminating this land. 】

…………

At this moment when Yunus was in a trance, the young man holding his long sword suddenly exerted force, knocking Yunus back and staggering a step.

When the short sword was exerting force, the striking blades rubbed heavily.

The sound of scraping between the blades was extremely harsh in the silent room.

The sparks splashed out during the friction exploded in the air.

Garlan, who had pushed Yunus away, did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but took a step back.

His hand holding the dagger was raised slightly, and the tip of the sword pointed to the ground.

He stood in front of King Kamos and confronted Yunus.

The black hair tied at the nape of his neck fell over his left shoulder and down his chest.

The boy's figure is not tall, compared with the two people in the room, he can only be described as slender.

But at this moment, he used this slender body to firmly protect King Kamos behind him.

"Garlan...Prince..."

Yunus, who was standing opposite, spit out these words slowly.

He stared at Garlan, his eyes were full of darkness.

Garlan and Yunus looked at each other, but said nothing.

He stood there, breathing heavily.

Just now seeing that Brother Wang was in a critical situation, he jumped over the window, rushed over, held him up with his sword, and knocked him away, all in one go, it was almost an instinctive reaction of the body, and there was no time to think about it.

Now that I came back to my senses, I was terribly afraid.

He felt his heart beating almost out of his throat.

If it weren't for the fact that he saw Brother Wang and Yunus leaving on the way back to the banquet, followed him on a whim, and then found that there was something wrong with the deployment of troops around this room...

If it wasn't because he had an inexplicable premonition, so he decisively decided to climb from the outer wall to the window to take a peek...

fortunately.

Fortunately, his premonition of bad things is always very accurate.

Garlan thought with lingering fear.

While staring at Yunus vigilantly, he took out a small white cloth bag from his arms and threw it to King Kamos behind him.

"Taputi prepared a lot of antidote pills for me. Anyway, brother Wang, you should take them all first."

There are not many types of poisons in this world, there are only a few that come and go, and Taputi prepares the antidote for him.

Eat them all, and there will always be one that will hit.

Hearing Garlan's words, Yunas's eyes froze, he hurried forward, and stabbed fiercely with his sword.

Garlan waved the dagger in his hand, and swung away the stabbing long sword with a clang.

Immediately rush up, you come and go, and fight with Yunus.

"Garlan—"

King Kamos' anxious shout came from behind.

After all, Yunus is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years, and Garlan may not be his opponent.

In the shout of King Kamos, the young man raised his hand to hold the long sword that had been cut diagonally.

"Brother Wang, you have been protecting me since I was a child."

Garlan clenched his teeth, and tried his best to hold the sword that was pressed against his eyes.

"Now, I'm grown up."

When he said this, he paused, and then violently knocked the opponent away.

Once again rushed forward to entangle with Yunus and fought together.

He nimbly dodged the opponent's attack with agile movements, and rushed forward with ferocity when he seized the opportunity.

Finally, he seized an opportunity to cut a long bloody gash on Yunus' left shoulder by taking advantage of his opponent's immobility of his left arm.

Once again, Yunus was knocked back.

Gasping for breath, Garlan stood there, still standing firmly in front of King Kamos.

The short sword in his hand was held horizontally in front of his body, and the boy's eyes reflected the falling moonlight, bright as golden flames in the night.

His voice is powerful.

He said, "Brother Wang, this time, I will protect you."
