A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

Chapter 119

Views:

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 only sent someone to pick her up after confirming that the war was over and the city of Tozes was safe.

After that first-time farce was over, Tarr, who was a negotiator between Aaron Landis and Elson, introduced Heimos to the little princess and the general.

After knowing the identity of Heimos, General Vinier was stunned for a moment, and then took a closer look at the black-haired young man.

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

There was a little doubt in her eyes as she looked at Heimos.

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

If the knight of the scorching sun, Kaihos, was praised for his bravery, he was also praised in the rumors as having a 'beautiful appearance like the sun god' and was famous in the mainland for his loveliness. It is described in the language of 'like a blood-stained blade' and 'the crescent moon of the god of death in the dark night'.

Wherever he went, everyone was horrified.

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

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

This is how the world describes the prince of Aaron Landis in legend.

However, no matter how Vinier looked at the moment, she couldn't see the rumored feeling.

It was true that this Prince Heimos felt dangerous to her, but that was the danger she felt as a warrior to another warrior who was too strong for her to fight.

And she couldn't feel the breath of the so-called 'black knight of hell' from this prince at all

Don't say anything bloody or bloody, this Prince Heimos exudes a soft aura at this moment, as if being wrapped in clouds, especially when he looks at Prince Garlan's eyes, it is even more soft No, it's like soaking in sugar water.

And when the corner of his mouth was wiped by Prince Garlan just now, this man was obviously taller than Prince Garlan, but when the tall body was bent down, there was no sense of disobedience, as if he was obediently letting his master touch his head. Like a wolf.

In this way, the relationship between the two princes seems to be quite close.

However, rather than saying that these two princes have a good relationship, it is better to say...

Vinier always felt that something was wrong.

This Prince Heimos looked at Prince Garlan's eyes, and always felt... very subtle, and it seemed that only the atmosphere around the two princes was very different, very strange.

She wasn't sure. Anyway, as a bystander, she felt a little numb in her heart and felt extremely uncomfortable, as if she was forced to feed something she didn't want to eat.

This female general Elson didn't know that this feeling could be perfectly described in just four words in Gallan's world.

Force feed the dog food.

Throwing away these messy thoughts in her mind, Vinier stepped forward, put one hand on her chest, and bowed to the knees and saluted the Prince Heimos who had met for the first time.

"Two princes, I came here to hope that Aaron Landis could fulfill the previous agreement."

She said, "Prince Gallan, the messenger you sent once made an agreement with our queen, so your messenger should have informed you."

As soon as she heard Vinier talking about the serious business, the little princess on the side also showed a serious look on her small face.

Although a little reluctant, Emma, who knew her responsibilities, bowed to Wei Wei seriously and saluted Heimos.

Glancing at the little princess who saluted him, Heimos nodded and accepted the salute, then turned his head to look at Garlan.

He asked, "Agreement?"

Garland hummed.

"I didn't know you could come in four days, so I asked Elson for help in advance, and I promised them that as long as they sent troops to rescue Tozes, I would let Aaron Landis admit that they were alone as a country, and allow Aaron Land to be alone. Diss merchants trade with Elson. Also, open the port to trade with Elson, giving them the best business tax."

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

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

After he finished speaking to Heimos, he set his eyes on General Elson who was kneeling in front of him.

"I will naturally fulfill this agreement. After returning to the royal city, I will definitely persuade King Camos to issue a royal order. However, these things take time, and Queen Elson is also requested to wait patiently for a while."

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

Elson is not good at diplomacy. It's not that they didn't try to communicate with other countries a long time ago, but almost all of them suffered losses.

After suffering a few losses, they realized that the need for time in diplomacy is actually an excuse to shirk. Often, this sentence is said, and the matter has no follow-up. Although they were outraged, there was nothing they could do. After suffering a few losses, they simply closed the country and stopped contacting the outside world.

So at this moment, when she heard the familiar diplomatic rhetoric from the prince, her heart froze, and she couldn't help but want to say something, but then she thought about it, this time because Prince Heimos arrived in time with the army and the fleet , so although they assisted in attacking the pirates, they were far from saving Tozes City and Prince Gallan.

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

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

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

In an instant, Vinier breathed a sigh of relief, and let down her heart that was hanging high.

Fortunately, the Queen did not see the wrong person.

she thinks.

The little prince did not perfunctory himself with words.

He deserves their trust.

"Thank you very much."

Elson's female general raised her head to look at Garlan, and a trace of gratitude appeared in her heart.

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

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

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

People who treat Allison with sincerity will be treated with sincerity by Allison.

Since Elson's weakness is destined to depend on a country in order to survive, then it must be entrusted to the person they can trust.

Just after Garlan ended the conversation with General Elson, Kaihos took two steps forward.

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

"Um?"

"A man who was once a slave."

Cayhors replied.

"He made great achievements in the defense of Tozes City, but he refused to exchange his achievements for property. He found 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 eyes and changed his words, "When you were in danger, it was because he discovered something wrong in time that we were able to rush over."

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

Garland nodded.

"I see, let him in."

When she heard the word slave, Little Princess Elson couldn't help frowning.

There are also slaves in the Elson country, but all the slaves there are men, and most of them are prisoners of war from Elson female warriors. They were designated to live in the most remote places, and to do the lowest and most tiring jobs.

In Emma's heart, those male slaves are extremely lowly existences.

Therefore, when she heard that Gallan was 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 citizen of another country, she shouldn't talk too much about this kind of thing, so she kept her mouth shut.

However, she rolled her eyes, approached Garlan, and grabbed Garlan's hand.

When Emma grabbed Garlan's hand, the young man next to her, whom she didn't like, glanced at him. Although the stabbing hurt, Emma pretended not to see and still held Garlan's hand tightly. Clinging to Garlan's side.

With that piercing gaze, the little princess who successfully responded to Heimos was overjoyed.

Soon, the aged slave was summoned.

When this slave appeared in front of everyone, even the little princess and the female general Elson, who didn't care about the slave, were startled and couldn't help but scrutinize it.

Completely different from the humble and thin slave in their impressions, this strong 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 him, I could vaguely feel a bloody aura, that is the breath of courage that can only seep out from the bones after having experienced brutal fighting.

As soon as the middle-aged man entered the door, his eyes swept slightly and fell on Garlan, then walked straight to Garlan, bent down and knelt down.

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

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

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

Garland asked, "Didn't he tell you about it?"

The man shook his head.

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

He said, "Although they have your charter, it is clear that they do not welcome my presence."

Even with the bravery of any Aaron Landis soldier and his great achievements, the man could see it clearly, and the eyes of those soldiers looking at him were still the eyes of slaves.

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

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

"His Royal Highness Gallan, my name is Tewa, and I hereby beg you, please let me follow you."

He said, "Maybe not as good as Lord Kejos, but I have confidence that I have the same strength as the guards around you, and I am willing to offer you my life and all my loyalty."

As soon as the man finished speaking, a sneer came from the side.

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

She looked at the man with a smile and said, "Are you going to say, 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.

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

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

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

Ever since she was a child, as a princess, she didn't know how many times she had seen such guys who made various excuses to get close to her and try to cling to her. She despised this kind of person the most.

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

"Brother Garlan, don't promise him, this kind of flamboyant guy can't stay at all."

The man on his knees clenched his fists very tightly, and the back of his hands faintly burst into blue veins, but he lowered his head, closed his mouth tightly, and said nothing.

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

Because the little princess did hit one of his thoughts.

It was indeed after his calculations that he felt that this approach would be more beneficial to him, so he took a risk and came to see the prince.

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

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

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

"Kaihos, what is his ability?"

"It's a middle-class asset." Probably guessing what the prince was thinking, the blond knight smiled and replied, "It's a lot worse than me, but as he said, his current strength is better than all the guards around you."

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

Garland nodded and said.

The personal guards around him were all arranged by Kaihos, who was his guardian knight. Therefore, when Tewa entered his personal guards, Kaihos naturally arranged it.

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

He looked up at Garlan in astonishment.

He was even ready to be hated by the prince, but he didn't expect...

"Brother Garland!"

Emma, who was beside her, became anxious and tugged at Garlan's hand.

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

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

Then, he turned his attention to Heimos.

"I've been in Tozes City for too long, and now you're here too. There's no one guarding the royal city. Brother Wang is still fighting Yisi in the east. We have to return to the city as soon as possible. However, your hand …”

When Garlan said this, Heimos's eyelashes moved suddenly, just because the movement was so fast that people couldn't 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, whether it was because of the hand injury of Heimos or the arrow wound on Garlan’s back, under the persuasion of Kaihos, they would continue to stay in Tozes City for four to five days.

When the doctor determined that there was no major problem, he set off to return to the royal city. Those officials and wealthy merchants who abandoned the city to escape and colluded with pirates will be escorted back to the royal city together to wait for their release.

Since the city of Tozes has no defensive strength, 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 ordered by King Kamos after he ends the war with Geshu and returns to the royal city.

Subsequently, Kaihos informed Seth and others about this.

As a result, the news that Prince Gallan was about to leave Tozes and return to the royal city soon spread throughout Tozes City.

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

On the one hand, it was to appease the emotions of the city residents of Tozes who had been frightened for a long time, and on the other hand, it was also to bid farewell to the prince.

The city of Tozes soon became lively, all the fears that once dissipated, and everyone had a beaming look.

This time the celebration is naturally also set on the huge square before the ruling government.

On this day, countless townspeople from Tozes flooded in, crowding this huge square.

Before the evening, the square was already bustling with jubilant atmosphere. Everyone was smiling and brought their families and mouths. After the catastrophe, they enjoyed the joy of the celebration to the fullest and wanton at this moment.

A high platform with guardrails of the ruling government extends out from the air, and above the square, it is open in the open air. Whether looking down from the high platform or looking up from the square, they can see each other clearly.

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

When everyone appears in the open-air platform, no matter how big or small the person is, it will cause a burst of cheers from the people in the square below.

The people of Tozes City will not forget that it was these generals and officials who persisted without fear of life and death, and led them through the most difficult times.

Even the little princess Elson and the female warriors, who were not very familiar to the Tozes, attracted friendly cheers from everyone when they appeared on the high platform.

They are thanking the Elsons for rescuing Tozes.

Just as the crowd cheered one after another, the figure of the young man appeared in front of everyone.

The light of the lights around the high platform reflected on the golden long hair, which symbolized the god of wisdom.

Garlan, dressed in light-colored clothes, appeared on the open-air platform under the gaze of everyone.

The pale skin reflected the shimmer of the lamp, and the crimson Shamash rune was on his forehead.

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

The pale green peridot brooch, symbolizing the brilliance of the sun, which expelled the fear and evil of the night, fastened the collar of the cape around his shoulders, and as he walked, the knee-length cape flew up behind him. .

When the blond prince appeared, all the voices stopped abruptly.

All the sounds seemed to disappear at this moment.

The whole land was silent.

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

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

What's wrong

she thinks.

Why is there suddenly no sound at all

Has something happened

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

Suddenly, caught off guard.

The whole square burst out with a terrifying cry like the explosion of thunder.

The cheers like a tsunami of mountains and tsunamis swept the entire earth.

The astonishing cry suddenly shocked Emma to the point of being stunned. She could only open her eyes wide to watch this incredible and shocking scene.

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

In the light of the night, countless people reached out their hands frantically, doing everything they could to reach their prince.

They roared and cheered and shouted hoarsely for their prince.

They seem to let the whole world be involved in a frenzy of flames at this moment, burning like crazy, as if they can burn everything.

"prince!"

"Prince Garland!"

"May the light of Shamash be with you!"

"The glory of the gods is always with you!"

"May your glory be forever—"

That sound was deafening.

The cheers resounded throughout the world.

The earth was shaking, and the entire city of Tozes seemed to be shaking amid the cries of countless people.

The long-lasting sound spread far and wide, and even the boundless sea seemed to raise waves.

Garland

son of the gods

I'm the prince of Aaron Landis

The glory of the gods is upon you

You are the eternal faith of my people of Aaron Landis—
