A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

Kaihos was only stunned for a second, and then reacted immediately.

He violently snapped the wrist of another maid who was still holding onto him.

Click.

At this moment, there was a crisp fracture sound in the extremely silent room, and the maid's strangely huge strength suddenly lost its effect.

Kayhos kicked it hard against the wall with a bang, and saw that the maid's chest was almost completely dented.

Turning his head, Keyhors rushed forward and drew his sword.

A sword fell.

The hands of the maid who was smiling strangely and holding on to Garlan were cut off by his sword, and then kicked out by him.

"Prince! Lord Kyhors—?"

Hearing strange noises in the room, Vata, who was guarding outside, also rushed in immediately.

Seeing the scene in the room at a glance, he was stunned.

But while he was stunned, he still didn't forget to hold down a certain maid whose hands had been cut off and who was staring straight at Kyhos, struggling to rush over.

The maid, who seemed delicate and weak, struggled with amazing strength. Unexpectedly, Vata didn't press down, and was almost overturned by her. He couldn't help but swear, and stomped on the maid twice. calf.

He didn't have any sympathy for the beauty, he directly stepped on the maid who was still lying on the ground struggling to wriggle, and then looked up at the prince.

Yunus stood in front of Garlan, and his daughter's dagger pierced his chest.

The gray hair on his forehead was messily scattered on his face, which was already too old for shame. He stared deeply at the daughter he had loved all his life, and there was only pain in his eyes.

"Tayas..."

He opened his mouth and called out his daughter's name in a hoarse voice.

Bright red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, slid across his chin, and dripped onto the floor.

He looked at his daughter's eyes full of pain and deep sorrow.

"Why...why would you do such a stupid thing?"

Tayas looked at him, and there was no regret or sadness on her face as she stabbed the dagger into her father's chest with her own hands.

On the contrary, her eyes were wide open, and that seemingly delicate and soft face was filled with a certain fanatic look.

"You are the stupid one, my lord father."

She grinned and smiled.

She stared at Yunus fixedly, her spirit was extremely abnormal at the moment, with madness and excitement to the extreme.

"This world will eventually pass away, only everything will live forever."

"The gods will eventually fall, but only my god will never die."

"When the mother goddess of all things wakes up from the abyss, the world will be subverted by my god, and all things will become one."

"As her loyal believer, I will follow her to obtain eternal life—"

Her voice was extremely soft and soft-spoken.

But her face was completely opposite to her voice, showing a bit of ferocity.

"Aaron Landis, this cursed country...the country that persecutes my teaching...the country that dares to disrespect the Mother Goddess of All Things will eventually perish, and no one can save it."

"Come on—let the wailing echo endlessly on the land of this rebellious country—let the country that expelled my god be as foolish as you to stain this land with blood—"

"Come on! This is the beginning of the grand ceremony, this is the moment of the upcoming sacrifice—"

Yunus' face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, and his whole body was even more shaky.

But Tayas was still radiant, shouting in this room with bright eyes.

Frenzy was written all over her face.

"The crown prince must die! Only after he dies will this country be completely shrouded in death and war!"

"And that war and flesh and blood will wake up the great God of All Things from the abyss and come down to the earth again—"

She let out a high-pitched cry, as if swearing an oath, pulled out the dagger from Yunus' chest, pushed her father away forcefully, and rushed towards Garlan again.

Kaihos stared sharply and raised his sword to meet him.

With a clang, he blocked the stabbing sword.

He was taken aback.

This woman was just like the maid just now, her strength was so strange that the small dagger almost knocked the big sword in his hand out of his hand.

Even if he barely grasped it firmly, his hand was numb from the impact.

Immediately afterwards, Vata who rushed over was also violently knocked out by Tayas.

Can't be hard.

Seeing that the woman ignored him at all, and stabbed at the prince fiercely, Kehos glanced aside from the corner of his eye.

This time, he didn't forcefully connect, but pulled Garlan, who was just about to raise his sword to block, violently to the side.

Garlan didn't respond.

Tayas, who rushed towards him frantically, didn't have time to react.

And after Garlan was pulled away, the window in front of her was the window of the room.

Kaihos, who pulled the prince away, turned around and walked behind her.

With one force, he slammed it forward.

Unable to hold back her strength, Tayas rushed forward, smashed through the window abruptly, and fell from a high altitude.

The woman's shrill scream echoed in the sky.

Finally, with a bang or something broken, it came to an abrupt end.

There was silence in the room, Kayhos exhaled, and picked up the maid's arm that he had cut off just now.

On the upper arm, there is a blood red tattoo.

In the blood-red circle, the runes symbolizing the water of life and the runes symbolizing destruction are intertwined and turned upside down.

"All things teach..."

He frowned, throwing the arm aside casually.

Unexpectedly, besides Gastard, the forces that infiltrated Aaron Landis also included the All Things Cult that was destroyed again and again and still tenaciously revived in Aaron Landis.

The purpose of the teaching of all things is to set off a bloody storm on the earth.

They believe that with war, blood, and the fear of the world, Tim Yat, the mother of all things, can be awakened.

They believed that when Timyat came down to earth, all things would become one and they would have eternal life.

When Prince Garlan was still young, he used his body as a bait to sneak into the stronghold of the Cult of All Things, and together with King Kamos, they wiped out the cult.

It was also the place where he and the prince met for the first time.

Kyhos could imagine that this cult must hate both King Kamos and Prince Garlan.

The All Things Cult and the forces of the Gastads murdered King Kamos together.

And now, in order to completely plunge Aaron Landis into chaos, they will continue to murder Prince Garlan.

... He will never let them succeed!

The clenched fingers rattled, and under the lamplight, the scorching sun knight's eyes were like knives.

He is the guardian knight of the prince.

As long as he is there, no one can hurt his prince's hair!

……

The three maids who seemed to have no pain felt their heads tilted and passed out after Tayas died. Vata led a few guards to carry out these maids who seemed to be dying.

The sudden chaos finally came to an end, and the room became quiet again.

Garlan turned his head and looked at Yunus.

The old man sat on the ground leaning against the wall, clutching his chest, the blood gushing from his fingers had already stained his hands and the clothes on his chest red.

He sat there with his eyes downcast, his face ashen ashes, and his breath was weak, obviously he was not far from death.

The brown hair was dry and scattered on his cheeks as if he had lost all vitality, and his eyes were dull and lost all expression.

Tayas's sword seemed to forcefully gouge out his heart.

It turns out... what he firmly believed in was just a joke.

He thought he was on the right track, but he was just being manipulated.

He turned out to be a puppet in the hands of Aaron Landis' enemies, and personally brought his beloved country into war.

His pride is now crushed to ashes.

Garlan looked down at the old man with a sluggish expression and dull eyes, his eyes were sharp and cold.

"Even if you do that, you won't be forgiven," he said.

This man has committed a crime that will never be forgiven.

Even if the gods forgive him, he will not forgive.

Yunus raised his head slowly.

He looked into the boy's eyes deeply, as if he wanted to imprint these eyes in his memory.

He stared fixedly at those golden eyes for a long while, didn't say anything, just leaned on the wall and stood up with difficulty and staggeringly.

As soon as he moved, the blood gushing out of the blood hole in his chest flowed more violently, falling to the ground drop by drop.

He took a step and walked forward, step by step extremely slowly.

He walked slowly, but steadily.

He walked up to Kyhoes and reached out to grab the long sword in Kyhoes' hand.

The blond knight looked at him for a while, then let go.

Yunus clenched his long sword and walked towards Juta who was kneeling on the side of the room.

Wherever he walked, blood was dripping all the way.

Juta, who was kneeling there with his arms tied behind his back, watched him come step by step, his pupils dilated slightly, showing a look of horror.

He recoiled on his knees, shaking his head in horror.

"Yu, Master Yunus, I was wrong, I will atone for my sins, I will fight desperately with the Gastadians, and I will atone for my sins on the battlefield! So, forgive me—Your Highness, Your Royal Highness! You are kind My lord, please forgive me with your kindness! I swear, I will atone! Please forgive me!"

An old man covered in blood stood in front of Juta, panting violently, blood dripping from him.

But he clenched the long sword with both hands and raised it steadily.

His face was heavy, and he said hoarsely, "Juta, traitors will never be forgiven."

Either you or me.

With a slash of the sword, all the strength of Yunus was exhausted.

Blood gushed from the bare neck of the kneeling man.

The head, which still maintained a terrified look, flew up in the air, then fell heavily, and rolled to the corner of the wall.

As if all the strength in his life had been exhausted in that sword strike, after cutting off Juta's head, Yunas staggered and fell to the ground.

Kaihos subconsciously took a few steps forward, bent down, squatted on the ground and hugged Yunas' upper body.

The decrepit old man was lying on the ground, panting heavily, blood gushed out from his chest quickly, and his vitality was rapidly draining.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, closed his eyes, and there was a faint glimmer of water in the corners of his wrinkled eyes.

Keyhos checked the situation of Yunus, raised his head, and said, "Prince, he is going to die soon."

Garlan was taken aback for a moment, he walked over and bent over to look.

However, just as he bent down, before he got close, the old man with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes weakly.

"Do not touch me!"

This low growl seemed to burst from the depths of his throat.

Yunus stared stubbornly at Garlan, gasping for breath.

He leaned against Kaihos, shook his head slightly, and refused Garlan's approach.

"Do not touch me……"

His voice became weaker and intermittent, as if it would disappear anytime and anywhere.

He was already extremely weak, but his voice still revealed the last stubbornness of this headstrong old man who had used himself all his life.

"Crown prince... don't let me, a sinful sinner... get your hands dirty..."

Blood had already stained the floor beneath him, and the old man opened his eyes.

He looked into the boy's eyes again.

The golden pupils seemed to be melted from the purest golden sunlight.

Just like the sun that never sets in the sky, even in the dark night, it is brighter than all other things.

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

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

It is recorded in the ancient books in the temple.

"All sins belong to me. I will take my sinful daughter to hell and accept all punishments... I will not ask the gods for forgiveness..."

Yunus closed his eyes a little bit.

His life is passing away little by little with time.

"Garlan, the crown prince of Aaron Landis..."

The wings of death cast a shadow over his face.

"The future king of Aaron Landis, chosen by King Kamos..."

The old man's voice weakened little by little, and finally disappeared into nothingness.

"Please be sure...to protect Aaron Landis...to protect this land that belongs to you..."

The light on the wall was flickering slightly, the room was very quiet, only the sound of the breathing of two people echoed.

The old man lying in a pool of blood closed his eyes and had stopped breathing.

........................

The night passed in silence.

The high city wall stands above the ground, and the fiery red lion flag erected on the city wall is flying in the air.

The early morning wind swept across the sky, whistling past the young man standing on the city wall.

Garlan opened his eyes, watching the fiery red sun rising from the distant horizon.

The crimson morning sun reflected on Garlan's face, as if it had dyed his fair skin red.

His guardian knight stood behind him like a pine tree.

After Yunus died, Garlan came to the city wall of Judas.He leaned on the city wall, looked up at the night sky, and stood here quietly for half the night.

Kehos didn't ask anything, he didn't say a word, and just stood behind Garlan for the middle of the night.

Until the sun rose in the east, facing the rising sun, Garlan exhaled a long breath.

He seemed to have exhaled all the turbidity and stuffiness in the center of the night in this breath, letting them all melt under the sunlight.

He turned around, and the smile of the young man bathed in the rising sun was as bright as ever.

He said, "Keyhors."

"Yes."

"Issuing a summons order."

Under the red lion flag flying high on the city wall, the young crown prince issued his first order after recapturing the city of Judas.

"In the name of Crown Prince Garlan, I am here to summon the troops from all the cities in Aaron Landis to come to Judas City."

……

Crown Prince Garlan issued a summoning order calling all the cities of Aaron Landis to send troops to the city of Judas.

The news spread like a hurricane throughout the land of Aaron Landis.

There was a lot of discussion.

If it is the summoning order of the Lion King, with his prestige, needless to say, as long as he makes an order, the entire land of Aaron Landis will respond with a bang.

All the city lords will immediately lead the most elite troops under their command to rush to the Lion King's command day and night.

However, when the crown prince's summoning order spread, all the cities in Aaron Landis were silent, with almost no movement.

…………

In the governing government of a certain city, someone was speaking to the city lord.

"The crown prince summoned the army, it should be to rescue the besieged royal city."

"The crown prince wants to expel the invaders, we should be obliged to wait, but..."

"However, the crown prince is too young, and he has never led an army before. I am worried that even if we lead our troops to rush there, with his ability, if he loses to the Gastadians, he will be completely defeated like the last war." With the army annihilated, Aaron Landis is really in danger."

"So, Your Excellency the Consul, let's wait and see the situation first, and don't act in a hurry."

…………

In another city's castle, the city lord sitting on top sneered.

"If it's the summoning order from King Kamos, I'll rush over without saying a word."

"It's just an underage brat who became the crown prince based on the favor of King Kamos. What ability can he command us?"

"The Battle of Tozes, the Battle of Judas City, who knows if it was touted by the people around him?"

"Why should I go? Let him lead Lao Tzu's subordinates to death?"

"Oh, I don't believe that there will really be a fool going to Judas City, just wait and see his jokes."

……

………………

In the same city, although the consul here summoned the army and pretended to respond to the summoning order, he has been using various excuses to delay and not move.

"The current situation is too complicated, the royal city is besieged by the Gastadians..."

He thought to himself.

'It's hard to say... When will the royal city be broken, and the Gastadians will become the rulers here. '

'If I rashly respond to the crown prince's summoning order, I will be liquidated if the Gastadians win. '

"It's better to stay put and wait for the situation to be clearer before deciding whether to go to Judas City or..."

…………

The land of Aaron Landis was quiet, and countless pairs of eyes were fixed on the city of Judas.

They are quietly watching the development of the situation, intending to make a decision according to the situation.

The first day passed.

There was no movement in Judas City.

The next day passed.

There was still no movement near the city of Judas.

Then, the third day also passed.

The city of Judas stands alone on the ground.

No one came.

……

In the eyes of everyone, the so-called summoning order of the crown prince has become a complete joke.
