A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

The pirate leader Basha has fallen into rage.

The city of Tozes, which I thought was within easy reach, took more than two days to attack. Seeing that the sun was about to set on the third day, the city of Tozes was clearly on the verge of collapse, but it managed to hold on tightly to block them. offensive.

What went wrong?

Basha thought anxiously.

The promised spy in the city failed again and again, and now, there is no more movement.

I thought that Tozes City had insufficient manpower to defend the city, but, like magic, the number of people defending the city suddenly doubled every day.

What displeased him the most was that a knight suddenly appeared with a force that could be described as terrifying.

The knight stood on the top of the city wall and fired a few arrows, burning his three catapults cleanly.

You know, small catapults are just that. Large catapults that can destroy city walls are war instruments that are closely monitored by the military of various countries.

Over the years, he had only managed to get three of them, but they were all destroyed here.

His heart was bleeding as he watched the three large catapults being burned.

Basha was already furious at this moment.

The battle has reached this point, and the pirates have also suffered a lot. He must capture the city of Tozes no matter what to make up for his losses.

Thinking of this, Basha no longer hesitated.

In addition to leaving a few speedboats for patrol and surveillance, Basha took the lead and led the large pirate ships into the wide river outside the city of Tozes.

One after another, giant warships came to the place closest to the wall of Tozes.

The walls of Tozes were covered in blood.

When they saw the pirate ships coming in one after another, everyone couldn't help but feel shocked.

"Everyone in Tozes City, please listen to me!"

Basha stood on the lookout of his giant warship, which was almost as high as Seth on the city wall looking at each other.

Below him, a row of nearly a hundred pirates stood on the deck of the ship.

Every time he roared, the nearly a hundred pirates roared in unison and repeated his words together so that everyone on the opposite wall could hear them clearly.

"Give up your resistance now, open the gate and let me in. As long as you are obedient, I will only steal your money and women and leave!"

His tiny eyes narrowed and became narrower and narrower, revealing a sinister and ferocious look.

"But if you continue to resist-"

"I, Basha, swear this!"

He roared ferociously at his prey like a hungry wolf.

"Once I invade the city, no matter you are male, female, old or young, no matter what your fucking identity is, I will kill them all!"

"If you continue to resist, none of you will survive!"

"If you make me angry! I will massacre the city!"

The roars of the pirates echoed in the air and echoed off the city walls.

The entire city wall was silent at this moment.

Massacre the city.

This word that echoed over the city made everyone terrified and almost breathless at this moment.

And Basha's roar immediately made the pirates become arrogant.

Basha's words about massacre are a signal and a promise.

That means that once they break through Tozes, they will not be subject to any control and will do whatever they want. They can rob, set fire, rape, kill, and humiliate. They can trample everyone in the city at will.

Then before leaving, the city was set on fire.

"That's right! Kill all of you guys!"

When they thought about how the people in this city would scream and beg for mercy under their own swords, and then be killed by their own swords, the pirates were so excited that their eyes glowed red.

"Massacre the city!"

"Steal them all! Kill them all!"

"Hahahaha! Kill everyone in this city——"

"Hahaha, yes, only the dead are the most obedient - let me die for you all -"

The howls of the pirates frightened everyone.

The pirates, who were so excited that they went crazy, overwhelmed everyone in Tozes City with their momentum.

Arrows rained down from the pirate ship.

Small catapults on the warships continued to smash rubble against the city walls.

With the continuous support of arrows and gravel from warships, countless pirates scaled the city wall and came towards everyone like a tide.

In just an instant, countless parts of the city wall fell into the hands of pirates.

The ocean formed by the pirates surged up, forcing the soldiers to retreat continuously.

The battle situation has reached the extreme.

Almost everyone standing on the city wall was covered in blood and had many scars on their bodies. They stood there, breathing heavily, with exhaustion on their faces.

The pirates attacked one after another, and they had been fighting to the death for a whole day.

Not to mention eating, he didn't even have time to take a breath.

At this moment, they were hungry and thirsty. The arms that had been wielding the bladed spears all day were as heavy as if they were tied to stones, and it was difficult to lift them up.

The city wall is no longer stained with blood, because it has been completely stained red with blood. Dead bodies were everywhere, lying on the ground. There were also many people with broken arms and smashed thighs lying on the ground, crying and wailing in despair.

This blood-stained city wall is like hell.

The defense line on the wall of Tozes was being pushed back bit by bit.

Although the pirate ships had stopped shooting arrows and throwing stones, as countless pirates scaled the city wall one after another, they had almost occupied a small half of the city wall.

The fierce pirates forced the soldiers guarding the city to retreat.

It's over.

Everyone thought this in despair.

Can't hold on any longer.

They have tried their best.

Everyone is exhausted.

They could no longer resist the pirates' offensive, and could only watch in despair as the city wall was swallowed up bit by bit by the incoming pirates.

The situation has reached a point of no return.

Seeing that the city is about to be destroyed——

Even Seth, the commander, began to despair at this moment.

The ferocious-looking pirate struck with a knife, and the spear in the young soldier's hand was thrown away by the knife. The huge shock made him stagger a few steps and fell to the ground.

The soldier who fell to the ground gasped violently.

He felt that his arms were as heavy as stones and he could not lift them no matter how hard he tried.

He sat on the blood-stained ground and glanced at the corpses with broken limbs around him.

He thought he would soon be one of them.

He thought that after all, he failed to guard Tozes and failed to protect his parents in the city.

The pirate's sharp sword had already struck his head hard.

Sorry, Dad, Mom.

The soldier thought silently in his heart.

The blade was reflected in his desperate pupils, from far to near——

A bright light flashed in the sky.

The pirate who was hit by the knife suddenly stiffened, and then fell heavily to one side.

As the pirate's thick body fell, a figure was reflected in the soldier's dilated pupils.

The blond hair as bright as the sun seemed to dye light into his dim eyes.

A young man in fine clothing stood in front of him holding a blood-stained sword, with his cloak spread out behind him.

The crimson Shamash's rune was like a burning red flame on the boy's fair forehead.

The pirate killed by the boy's sword fell at the boy's feet.

"King...Prince..."

The young soldier stammered subconsciously.

The next second, he screamed again.

"His Royal Highness Prince--?!"

His scream instantly shocked everyone nearby who heard it.

Countless eyes came over and landed on this place.

The young soldier still remained in the awkward posture of falling to the ground.

He raised his head and stared blankly at the prince standing in front of him who stretched out his hand to him.

At this moment, he felt his heart beating violently, and his mind was in a trance for a while, and he couldn't figure out whether what he saw in front of him was reality or a dream.

Dizzy, he raised his hand and grabbed the blood-stained hand that reached towards him.

The hand grabbed him, squeezed, and pulled him up from the ground.

The force coming from the hand is an extremely real touch.

More and more people gathered and rushed to Garlan's side.

"prince!"

Kayhos shouted anxiously, pushing aside the crowd and rushing to Gallan's side.

"How did you-"

He said, "This is too dangerous, please leave immediately!"

Garlan glanced at Kehos, then turned around and raised the snow-white sword in his hand again.

"Follow me."

he said, concisely and to the point.

After saying that, he took the lead and rushed towards the group of pirates on the opposite side.

Kehos was startled and hurriedly followed.

The surrounding soldiers who had been retreating just now had flushed faces and swarmed forward excitedly.

They waved their weapons and rushed behind the prince almost like crazy, slashing the pirates to pieces with terrifying momentum.

From here, Tozes's soldiers began to stir up a commotion, and more and more voices were heard.

"It's the prince..."

"The prince is here."

"It's really His Highness the Prince!"

"Why is he here?"

"It's too dangerous here!"

"What? The prince also went up the city wall?"

Like a tsunami, the news that Prince Garlan also went to the battlefield spread throughout the city wall in almost a quarter of an hour.

It was like a shot in the arm, and the soldiers who were sluggish just a moment ago suddenly became full of energy.

Their prince is here, on this battlefield!

The prince is fighting with them!

The descendants of the gods Aaron Landis are with them at this moment——

The will of the gods is with them—

An indescribable force instantly surged into the body that was exhausted just now. It was an invisible force.

It's unclear whether they were inspired or given by will. It was more likely the power given to them by the gods.

At this moment, they felt like they had endless energy in their bodies.

The soldiers rushed towards the enemy without fear of death, each one looking like a madman.

They looked desperate at this moment, fighting the pirates like crazy, and their overwhelming momentum actually suppressed the pirates' arrogance.

Under this volcanic eruption of morale, Tozes' soldiers frantically drove off the pirates who had occupied a small half of the city wall in one fell swoop.

The walls of Tozes were recaptured.

They actually took back the city wall that was about to fall——

Unable to suppress it, countless people shouted and cheered loudly.

For a time, the cheers on the entire Tozes city wall were like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, which actually stunned the pirates who were driven off the city wall for a long time.

Basha stood on the boat and looked at a city wall in astonishment.

A young man with blond hair stood there. He was too far away to see the young man's face clearly, but the young man's long golden hair reflected the sunlight extremely brightly.

Countless people surrounded the young man, and all the people on the city wall turned towards the blond young man and gave out deafening cheers.

He waved his hand and asked someone to bring Taka up.

Taka, who was thrown at Basha's feet like a puddle of mud, raised his head. Within a few days, his whole body lost weight and became haggard at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Obviously, he suffered a lot.

He looked at Basha and smiled awkwardly and with difficulty.

Basha didn't even bother to look at him. He raised his hand and pointed at the blond boy on the city wall.

"Tell me, who is that?"

He could clearly see that the city wall was about to be captured, but it was the appearance of the young man that caused Tozes' soldiers to suddenly burst out with terrible momentum, fighting like crazy, and drove them down again.

Taka was stunned for a moment, Basha kicked him impatiently, and he quickly answered.

"Prince, that's Prince."

He said quickly, "He is the younger brother of King Camos and the prince of Aaron Landis."

Aaron Landis’ Prince?

Basha's eyes suddenly lit up.

Pirates wander on the sea and call home all over the world. They are never afraid of countries on land.

On the sea, there are many pirate forces from all sides. Pirates from different factions compete for strength and prestige.

The reason why Basha is famous among pirates is because he once killed a general of a big country, which made him famous.

And now, the prince of a country is right in front of him.

Aaron Landis is a great and famous country. If he can kill the prince of Aaron Landis - then no one in this sea will be able to compare with his reputation!

When he thought of this, Basha was very excited.

"Kill him!"

He shouted and gave orders to his subordinates.

"Rush up and kill that prince!"

The pirates who received the leader's order immediately swarmed towards the wall where Garlan was.

Basha waved his hand again and ordered all the archers on the pirate ships approaching the city wall to aim in that direction.

He stood on the deck, his small eyes staring intently at the prey that would make him famous, his eyes filled with greed and murderous intent.

"My lovely prince..."

He said, licking his lips that were a little hot with excitement.

"Just think of it as your bad luck and use your body to pave the way for my rise in the sea."

…………

Before the Tozes soldiers who guarded the city wall had time to cheer for too long, the pirates who had just been driven off the city wall attacked again.

However, this time the siege was a little different from before.

The pirates seemed to be targeting Prince Garlan who appeared on the city wall, and swarmed towards this part of the city wall. Even the rain of arrows shot from the ship almost concentrated on that area.

The pressure on the soldiers guarding other sections of the city wall was suddenly reduced, and all the pressure was transferred to a certain city wall.

Garlan was on that section of the city wall, continuing to fight with the others. He was like a magnet, attracting pirates to rush towards them one after another.

For a moment, the city wall where he was standing was like a boat swaying in a violent storm.

Kayhos had called back all the nearly a hundred personal guards who had been scattered, and they were concentrating on guarding Garlan's side.

It is precisely because of their existence that this section of the city wall, which was in danger under the ferocious attack of pirates, could be firmly defended.

Wave after wave of arrows came, densely packed.

The outside of this city wall was almost full of arrows, and the ground inside the city wall was covered with arrows that had been knocked down.

There were too many arrows being shot, and you would be hit if you were not careful. Even among the powerful knights, a dozen people were injured by the arrows and were hurriedly carried away for treatment.

Seth hurried over.

He persuaded Garlan to go down the city wall and ensure his own safety, but Garlan only said one sentence and he was speechless.

Garlan smiled at Seth.

He said calmly: "Do you believe that if I go down, the city wall will fall soon?"

Seth was momentarily speechless and could only leave sadly.

Yes.

All the morale on the battlefield now is brought by the prince standing here.

Once Garlan leaves, this morale will be drained at any time.

It was precisely because Keyhos understood this that he did not continue to mention the matter of letting Garlan leave. Instead, he and his subordinates gritted their teeth and stayed by the prince's side.

The next moment, Kehos waved his sword again to block a wave of arrows.

"Your Highness..."

At this moment, the knight covered in blood began to gasp violently.

"You're being targeted."

"Ok, I know."

Garlan, who had just killed a pirate with his sword, took a few steps back and stood shoulder to shoulder with Kehos.

He was panting harder than Caijos, and his face was pale. He seemed to be a little unsteady, standing weakly against Caijos.

A light-colored cloak hung behind him, covering most of his body, but most of the cloak was stained red by the splattered blood, and it was impossible to tell whose blood it was.

"If I make the bait, there will be a lot less pressure elsewhere. If he keeps an eye on me, he can delay it for a while."

Garlan said with a pale face.

Thin beads of sweat continued to seep down from his forehead, and the damp blond hair clung to his bloodless cheeks.

As if he was holding back something, he took a deep breath and took a step forward.

Suddenly he staggered and almost fell down. Caihos beside him killed an oncoming pirate with his sword, turned around suddenly, and stretched out his hand to support Garlan.

"Your Highness, you need to rest..."

The words stopped abruptly in the middle of the sentence, and Caijos's pupils suddenly dilated.

In order to help Garlan who almost fell, he put his hand into the cloak behind Garlan.

At this moment, he put his hand on Garlan's back, and his fingertips felt warm and wet. The warm liquid almost wetted the clothes on the young man's back.

The tip of his index finger even touched the broken arrow.

The black iron tip of the broken arrow sank deeply into the flesh and blood of the young man's back.

"Your Highness?"

Kehos looked at Garlan in disbelief. His fingertips that touched the broken arrow trembled uncontrollably.

"Don't say it."

Garlan said.

He looked at his knight, terribly pale.

The pink lips seemed to be gradually losing their color.

He said, "Kayhos, don't say anything."

The author has something to say:…………

Sneak away quietly...
