A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 256. Chapter 256

The air freezes for a while.

Gallan’s breathing paused for a moment.

The needle could be heard quietly in the whole room, and no one spoke.

Moya lowered his head, clenched his fingers, gritted his teeth in pain.

He is the only person who knows this, and has always kept a secret for the prince, but he never thought that the prince actually said it by himself.

At first he thought that the prince just wanted to give the treasure to King Gallan in exchange for the help of Aaron Landis, but he never thought that the prince was…

It stands to reason that, as a knight loyal to Kanal, he should have stopped the prince.

But now, he can faintly understand the behavior of the prince.

Next to Moya, the young knight who was still holding on to his feet while griefly trying to get up a second ago stayed on the spot. He stared blankly at the back of the prince in front of him, with a look of despair.

Xiemuer and Kaihuos glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other’s eyes and the pity hidden in their eyes.

However, after more than a year, the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, and then he was caught by the Gasdad on the way to escape. Later, he was imprisoned underground by the All Things Education for more than a year, and now even his body…

The experience of this little prince who had suffered as a child is really sighing.

Although he felt sympathy for the prince of West Asia, the next moment, Xie Muer’s brain quickly started to move.

If it is true as the prince of West Asia said, it is not impossible for the prince of West Asia to hand over the throne of Kanal to King Garland under the premise that it is desperate and impossible to restore the country.

After all, although the Prince of West Asia is the last member of the Kanal royal family, he has completely lost the kingdom. Now he is not much different from the exiled nobles who lost their territory.

He has nothing except the treasure in his hand.

And the only thing on this continent that could contend with the Gasdad was the iron cavalry of Aaron Landis.

It can be said that as long as Aaron Landis rejects him, then in this life, the prince of West Asia will not be able to restore the country by his own power.

The prince of West Asia suffered that kind of humiliation at the hands of the Gastad, and coupled with the hatred of subjugation, he must have hated the Gastad to the bone.

He will definitely take revenge on the Gasdad at all costs.

Therefore, knowing that he had no hope of regaining his country, he would rather hand over the name of righteousness to King Gallan in exchange for revenge against the Gasdad.

Even if the prince of West Asia does not have any power by his side, he is still the last descendant of the Kanal royal family and has a righteous name.

He is willing to hand over the throne of Kanal to King Galan, then, from then on, Kanal’s righteous name will fall on Galan.

King Garlan will become Kanal’s orthodoxy.

In other words, the army of Aaron Landis going to Canal will be justified in the future, and no country can raise objections.

After the army of Aaron Landis drove away the Gasdad who occupied Canal, Canal will become a part of Aaron Landis from now on.

Aaron Landis will have twice as much territory as in the past, possessing the most extensive territory of all dynasties, and becoming the largest kingdom on the continent.

In addition, Kanal is a wealthy land, with a lot of minerals, especially gold mines, fertile soil, suitable climate, and a large population. Even if it is hit by a war for a while, as long as you recuperate for a period of time, you will soon be able to recover…

At the thought of this, Xie Muer couldn’t help but feel moved.

Not only the high priest, but Kaihus also looked at Garlan with scorching eyes.

Open up territory and conquer the Quartet.

These words are the dreams of almost all soldiers.

No one can resist.

Even the scorching sun knight who has always been calm, thinking of that scene, his chest can’t help but become faintly hot.

Under the scorching gazes of the two henchmen behind him, the young king sitting on the golden seat lowered his eyes, as if he was pondering something.

The light shone on his side cheeks, and the long golden hair was reflected like flowing gold from his shoulders.

His lips are pursed slightly, which is his habit when thinking seriously.

After a while, Garlan raised his eyes and looked at Xiah who was kneeling in front of him.

“Have you thought about it?”

He said, his eyes met West Asia.

“Although you are still young, as the last member of the Kanal royal family, you must bear its responsibilities.”

“So, I will not treat you as a child, but treat you as the Kanal royal family who can talk to me.”

“Every word of yours, every decision, determines the future of you and Canal.”

“Once a decision is made, you can never look back.”

Garlan looked at Xia deeply, his expression was very serious at the moment.

“Now, answer me.”

He asked again.

“Have you thought about it?”

The land of Kanal.

Throne of Canal.

The thousand-year glory of Kanal.

Everything that is difficult to give up…If he is handed over to Gallan, then he will even lose the’Prince of Canal’ from then on, allowing him to grit his teeth and stick to his current identity even after all the hardships.

Xia, who was still kneeling, raised her head and stared into the eyes of the young king.

The golden pupils were shining brightly against the lights of the room, as bright as the sunlight he hadn’t seen in a long time.

Just like the golden eyes of Shamash’s idol in the hall he had seen.

The young king of Aaron Landis.

He guarded Aaron Landis.

Guarding his people.

He put the lives of soldiers above wealth.

He allows the people under his rule-even the civilians and slaves in the slums to live with hope and vitality.

…………

Thinking of the first encounter with King Garlan and the bit of experience he had experienced, as well as everything that he had seen inside and outside the royal city during this week or so, Xia closed his eyes, revealing a resolute color.

He said: “Yes, I…”

“Prince!”

The young knight behind him interrupted Sia in a panic.

“Even… you don’t have to do this!”

He was eager to persuade Siya to give up that terrible idea.

“As long as you become King Kanal and when you grow up, you can choose a bloodline of the royal family to pass on to you, and the Royal Kanal can still be passed on, right?”

“Yes, Prince West Asia, as your subordinates said, you can do that and continue the Royal Canal.”

Xiemuer said.

At this time, he had calmed down and looked at Xia without blinking, paying attention to any slight changes in Xia’s face.

“Presumably you also know that King Camos in our country has no descendants. King Gallan was born in a side line and was elected by King Camos as the younger brother before inheriting the throne.”

The high priest said without shy.

If he were to be replaced by another king, he would definitely feel unhappy at him telling him so bluntly that he was not directly related to the royal blood.

But Xiemuer knew that Garlan didn’t care about it, so he said it bluntly.

“Yes, Prince, that’s it, you can also…”

The young knight continued eagerly.

Xia was silent for a moment, and then suddenly smiled.

The laughter was extremely weird.

“Pick a collateral?”

The young child squinted his eyes, but there was a mocking look on his face that was completely incompatible with his age.

The dark color was surging under his eyes, and the bright light could not illuminate his pupils that were shrouded in darkness.

“Do you think that what happened to me was really caused by the Gasdad people?”

At the beginning, he was betrayed by the city lord who had the blood of the collateral royal family, which can be said to be his distant relative, and fell into the hands of the Gastards.

At that time, he was thinking of running away.

At that time, he still held hope for the nobles of Kanal and the city masters.

He wrote several distress letters and asked his knight to escape and call for help from the nearby Kanal nobles or the city lord.

However, the letters for help have fallen into disarray.

The Gasdad people took him through city after city, but no one came to rescue him.

The Gasdad’s cavalry unit took him so carelessly to live in a passing city. At first, he tried to secretly reveal his identity to the city owners for help, but watched the city owners bow down in front of the Gasdads. , He was completely cold-hearted with the appearance of flattering and flattering.

Later, the Gasdad people intercepted one of his distress letters, furious, and beat him severely.

Half-awake, he vaguely heard Gasdad’s general discussing what to do with him.

Although the Gasdards broke through the royal city of Kanal and conquered Kanal, many of Kanal’s nobles have surrendered, and the few stubborn resisters will soon be resolved, the upper level of Kanal. Almost all are under its control.

However, among the people of Canal, countless brave men rose up, gathered to form a rebel army, and fought desperately against the Gasdad.

Therefore, the Gastards could not kill West Asia, who was the royal family of Kanal, but also allowed him to succeed to the throne and sit on the throne as a puppet to appease the rebellious Kanal people.

However, the Gasdad people are also worried that someone will come to rescue him. If this descendant of the Kanal royal family is rescued and escaped from their control to other countries, then no matter how long it has passed, as long as the Kanal royal family’s If the blood is still there, it will cause a lot of trouble to the Gasdad people.

At this moment, the distant relative, the City Lord, who betrayed him, came up with an idea in order to please the general of Gasdade.

-Let him never recover from the idea.

…………

“I see.”

After listening to Xia’s words, Xiemur nodded slightly.

It seems that the city lord of Kanal with the collateral bloodline wanted to kill with the sword, and with the hand of the Gasdad, cut off the direct blood of the Kanal royal family.

And the purpose of that city lord of Kanal did this…

I’m afraid everyone here already knows it well.

When the direct bloodline is severed, there is hope for the collateral royal bloodline to sit on the throne.

Xiemuer’s gaze revealed a little sarcasm.

Even if it’s just a puppet’s throne, those guys will probably flock to it.

Sia stood up slowly, he turned around and looked down at the two Kanal knights who were kneeling in front of him.

His eyes were extremely gloomy.

“The nobles of Kanal, the collaterals of the royal family…I will never forgive all those guys did.”

He said, as if venom was quenched in his voice.

“When the Gastadians invaded, they surrendered without resistance, opened the gates and let them in…”

“Take the initiative to lead the way for the Gasdads…take the initiative to become a running dog of the Gasdads and slaughter their own clan…”

“They helped the Gasdad people encircle and suppress my father’s army and killed him.”

“Under the command of the Gasdad, they broke the royal city, let Brother Wang fight to death, and forced Sister Wang to death… In the end, I suffered such an insult… They succumbed to the Gasdad without any shame. Like mad dogs, they bite and persecute the Kanars who want to resist the Gasdad.”

“these people……”

The child smiled gloomily with an expression that was not his age.

He turned his head and looked at Xiemur.

“Your High Priest, I know what you are worried about.”

He said, “You are worried that I just used the throne of Kanal as a bait to deceive King Gallan into helping me restore my country, and then establish another bloodline as a successor.”

He looked at Xiemur blankly.

“You don’t need to worry. Now I don’t care about royal responsibilities at all.”

…He thought he would die at that time…

When I die, I don’t have to face my mutilated body anymore, and the sad future without hope…

But he survived after all.

Because he is not reconciled.

What made him crawl back from hell was not the responsibility of the royal family, but the hatred.

revenge.

Revenge against the Gasdad.

Revenge the Kanal nobles who betrayed him and abandoned him.

This is the only purpose he lives till now.

“I will never let those who harm me and my loved ones get the throne.”

Xia’s eyes were very calm, so calm that there was nothing left.

Calm to the point where people can see it, the bottom of my heart feels cold.

“I would rather let the Kanal royal family be completely cut off than let them…no.”

He paused and said,

“It should be said that even if I destroy the entire kingdom of Kanal, I will never give it to any of them.”

After speaking in a cold tone, he still had that expressionless appearance, reaching out to Xiemur.

“Your High Priest, please lend me a dagger.”

West Asia and his knight came to see Garlan, so naturally they could not wear any sharp weapons.

Therefore, he can only ask Xiemur.

Xiemuer glanced at Xia and felt that he couldn’t hurt Garlan in front of him and Kayjos, so he pulled out the short sword from his waist and handed it to him.

Xia took the short sword and pierced her thigh directly under Xiemu’er’s surprised eyes.

In an instant, blood spattered.

The intense pain made the corners of his eyes twitch, he almost gritted his teeth, but didn’t make a grunt, abruptly use the tip of his sword to gouge away the scar left on his inner thigh.

He used the tip of his sword to dig out a platinum badge the size of a fingertip from his own flesh.

Platinum, that is an extremely rare precious thing that only Kanal can refine and craft in the entire continent.

The heraldic ring of the Canal royal family is made of white gold.

In order to protect the badge from being taken away, Xia stoned it from the ring of the royal family.

No one had ever thought that Xia had hidden it in his thighs, and even his guardian knight Moya was surprised at this moment.

Throwing the dagger on the ground, Xia limped to the front of Garlan, and handed the bloody platinum badge to Garlan.

The key to unlock the royal treasure of Kanal.

The symbol of the Canal royal family.

It is also the proof of King Kanal.

“King Garlan.”

The child’s dark blue pupils fixedly looked at Garlan,

“Canal will be under your throne from now on.”

He said,

“Please treat the people of Canal just as you treat the people of Aaron Landis.”

This is the last thing he can do for the people of Kanal as the prince of Kanal.

Garlan didn’t look at the platinum badge that had stretched out in front of him to symbolize the Throne of Canal, but looked at West Asia’s eyes.

The dark blue eyes were bloodshot, gloomy, without a trace of light.

However, Xia looked at him with a firm gaze and did not waver at all.

Then, his gaze shifted slightly down and fell on the hand reaching out in front of him. Perhaps even Xia didn’t notice it. The fingertips of his hand holding the badge were trembling slightly.

Gallan stretched out his hand.

Under everyone’s gaze, he picked up the bloody platinum badge in the palm of West Asia’s hand.

The young king sitting on the golden throne said: “I will treat the people of Canal, like the people of Aaron Landis.”

Xia leaned over and knelt in front of Garlan on one knee again.

He let out a breath.

It seemed to breathe out all the extremely heavy burden that he had once assumed.

He lowered his head, no one saw it, and the light in his eyes was disappearing little by little.

Like ashes about to extinguish.

…………

……………………

The platinum badge was carefully taken by Xiemuer, and after washing off the blood stains on it, it was embedded in a gold ring.

Then, this badge ring, like Aaron Landis’s lapis lazuli seal ring, was worn on Garlan’s left hand.

The pattern printed on the Canal Platinum Badge has many small lines. After zooming in, it is found that it is a map.

Obviously, it is the map of the treasures of the Canal royal family.

Gallan has no plans to move this treasure for the time being, because it is in the territory of Kanal, and he still has no shortage of money.

He continued to deal with the administrative documents accumulated during the time he left, and took care of Aaron Landis’s affairs.

As for matters related to Kanal, the high priest Sheemur will carefully discuss with Huimos and Kayjos, who are in charge of the military, and report the proposal to him after considering the situation of all sides.

But within two days, he received a bad news.

“Prince West Asia is seriously ill?”

Garlan frowned and looked at Xiemur.

“He looked fine two days ago.”

“Yes, I suddenly fell ill that night. I didn’t notify you because it was just a bit of cold. I have sent the best court physician to treat the prince of West Asia, but I didn’t expect…”

The doctor said it was just a little cold, not serious, and it would be better in two days.

Unexpectedly, the prince of West Asia fell into a coma the next day, with a high fever that did not go away.

Xiemuer shook his head.

“Your Majesty, I think the cause of his illness was not his physical illness, but his heart disease. The prince has completely collapsed.”

He said, “The doctor told me that the patient himself has no desire to survive, and he is really helpless.”

Knowing Garlan’s character, Sheemur did not say that if the prince of West Asia died of illness after entrusting Kanal to King Garlan, it would be best for Aaron Landis. result.

The prince of West Asia is alive, his identity will be extremely embarrassing, and maybe it will bring hidden dangers to Aaron Landis in the future.

After hesitating for a while, he put down the quill pen in his hand, which was still stained with ink, and Garlan got up.

He turned and left, the flying light-colored cloak glided across the table the moment he turned.

“Go and call Kaijos.”

He said.

…………

When Galan came to Xia’s room, the doctors and maids around Xia’s bed bowed to him in salute.

The two Kanal knights who had been guarding the hospital bed day and night for the past two days also leaned down and knelt. They were all black and blue, with shaggy beards, and only slumped faces remained.

“I’m sorry, Your Majesty, if I don’t have the desire to survive, we can only pray for Solga’s mercy.”

The kneeling doctor said to Garlan.

Solga, the god of wisdom, is also the legendary god who teaches human medicine and guards herbs.

[Pray for Solga’s mercy. 】

This is the words of the doctors euphemistically telling the patient’s relatives that they are unable to recover after being helpless with the patient’s condition.

“…You all retreat.”

Under Gallan’s order, everyone retreated.

Only the bedridden Sia remained in the room, along with Garlan and the knight Kejos behind him.

Xia was awake at the moment. He was lying on the bed, his pale skin, which had not seen the sun for a long time, was almost translucent at this moment.

An abnormal bright red appeared on his cheeks, like the last moment of the flame that was about to burn out of life.

He leaned against the bed, although he looked at Garlan, his eyes were empty, like rootless duckweed, without the slightest expression.

At this moment, West Asia is like a puppet without a soul.

It was hatred that allowed Xia to crawl back from the dying hell and sustain him to the present.

A bitter hatred.

When Kanal was handed over to Garlan, Xia knew that he had completed his revenge.

Soon, the Gasdad will be driven away from Kanal.

Those Kanal nobles who deliver treason will never end well.

For him, everything is over.

He is the pride of the Kanal royal family… he is not allowed to survive in the world in such a crippled body.

While Xia was lying on the bed with eyes blankly, Garlan, who was standing by the bed looking at him, suddenly spoke.

“Kyjos, take him off the bed.”

The blond knight who was absolutely obedient to his majesty didn’t care if his behavior was bullying the weak, and went straight forward, picked up the thin child from the bed and threw it to the ground.

The pain of falling to the ground made Sia wake up in a trance.

He endured the pain and raised his head, looking at Garlan in confusion.

“From now on, Kayjos will teach you martial arts and the tactics of arranging troops.”

“…”

“In your opinion, is it all over when the Gasdad is driven out of Canal? No, that’s just the beginning.”

Garlan looked down at Xia who stared at him blankly.

“I won’t forgive the Castadans for everything they did to Aaron Landis, and they made me lose the most important person.”

He said, his eyes were sharp.

With an unstoppable momentum.

“I will make them pay a heavy price for their actions.”

“Pay… the price?”

“Yes, Canal is just the beginning. I will drive Gasdade away from all the countries they occupy, and wherever they come from, I will return to them. In the end, I will also do their kingdom. Don’t plan to let it go.”

Xia’s eyes widened suddenly, and a bright light flashed across her gloomy eyes.

“It will take a long time to drive the Gasdad people back and break through their kingdom. It takes a long time to achieve this goal, and this time is enough for you to grow up and become stronger.”

The child looked directly at Garlan, he seemed to have thought of something.

His breathing became hurried at this moment.

Gallan leaned over and squatted halfway in front of Xia, his golden pupils staring at him calmly.

“West Asia, did you choose to die here as Prince Canal, or a few years later, as the general of Aaron Landis, personally break the Gastadian border?”

One second of silence.

The child’s outstretched hand firmly tightened the corner of Garlan’s clothes.

His fingertips were almost white due to excessive force.

“Please make me stronger, teach me how to become strong enough!”

Xia looked at Garlan, her dark blue eyes flashing sharply.

It was like a dying young wolf opened his eyes again, revealing palpitating eyes and fangs.

“In return, I swear to the gods that one day, I will offer you the royal city of Gasdade!”

…………

Kayjos, who stood by with his arms in his arms, twitched without a trace.

It seems that he must set aside time to teach his disciples hard in the future.

He thought helplessly.

But the knight who was complaining in his stomach looked at his majesty’s eyes still soft as usual, with a bit of indulgence.

The Sect of All Things and the so-called God of All Things may never understand.

In this world, the most powerful force is not destruction and destruction.

A truly incomparable power…

It is salvation.
