A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

The green-haired priest stood quietly aside. Although he had short hair, his forehead hair was longer and partially covered his eye sockets.

His eyes are quite slender and the pupils are small. When he lowers his eyes, he can easily hide the strange color in his eyes.

At this moment, he was standing aside, his face not very pretty, and his eyes showing obvious displeasure.

As priests of Nanna, the god of night, they do not need to have a strong body like those priests of Shamash, who they call "muscular dead brains".

If the minimum requirement to become a priest of Shamash is to have a force value that can kill five, and an upright and rigorous character, then, to become a priest of Nanna, the god of the night, the intelligent ones are given priority - although others Call this 'wisdom' in their mouth 'cunning'.

If you go against the priests of Nanna, you will definitely suffer a loss.

This is the consensus of everyone.

However, in this world, one thing defeats another, and the nemesis of the priests of Nanna is the priests of Shamash.

Because the priests of Nanna are good at provoking people's hearts and seizing on the weaknesses in people's hearts to make people suffer, but the priests of Shamash have always been upright and open-minded, deal with things calmly, and have no shadows in their hearts. Naturally, they will not be caught by the priests of Nanna. weakness.

The most critical point is that although the upright Shamash priests can't talk about Nanna's priests, they will not waste their energy arguing with Nanna's priests. Instead, they will choose to beat people directly. .

…

The combat power of Nanna's priests is simply incomparable to that of Shamash's priests.

The result of this is that the priests of Nanna, who always make others suffer, become the ones who suffer as long as they face the priests of Shamash.

Shermer, you are a guy who can only use your fists to reason!

Suojia stood there, thinking with displeasure.

Yes, this time, he was defeated by Shermer again and again.

He was unhappy for a while and then turned his gaze forward.

Prince Huymos sat on the seat in front of the window, one hand resting on the table beside him.

A middle-aged doctor was in front of him, gently removing the bandage from his finger.

Although the doctor's movements were as gentle as possible, the bandage was wrapped around the skin and stuck together. Once it was removed, the sticky skin would naturally be pulled apart.

Just by watching, Suo Jia felt his hand hurt inexplicably.

As a man who could move his mouth but not his hands, and who could use his brain but not his feet, he could not imagine reaching out to hold a stone pillar that was as hot as a soldering iron.

Not to mention rushing to support, as a human instinct, avoiding reflexively is considered to have strong self-control.

Suojia was thinking this to himself, while Heimos was sitting calmly by the window. The sunlight coming in from the window fell on his cheeks, giving off a brown sheen.

It was obvious that everyone else was frightened by the sight, but his expression could not tell at all that the person whose flesh was torn by the bandages was himself.

He looked like he was sitting there leisurely.

He didn't even look at his hand injury, he just tilted his head and looked out the window in a certain direction.

The team of royal knights responsible for guarding him were in the courtyard outside, all with serious expressions.

Their figures standing there upright were like trees rooted in the earth.

Suojia glanced at the team of royal knights and withdrew his gaze without interest.

He knew where Prince Heimos was looking, so he also looked in that direction.

Dense woods and tall palaces blocked his view, so naturally he couldn't see anything.

But he knew that the Plaza of the Gods in front of the main hall should be very busy at the moment.

After reapplying medicine to Heimos's hands and replacing them with brand new white bandages, the middle-aged doctor withdrew.

Suojia stood aside and watched Prince Heimos looking down at his re-bandaged hand, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Your Highness, do we really let Prince Gallan do what is going on there?"

He said, but stopped talking.

"just in case……"

Heimos still looked at his hand, moved his fingers a little, and felt the flexibility of his fingers.

"Yes, please don't interfere in what's going on over there."

He looked rather nonchalant and said, "Don't worry, he can handle it."

"…………"

Suojia was worried in another sense, but he didn't say it out in the end.

At the beginning, he swore in front of His Highness that 'people's hearts are evil and people are selfish', telling His Highness not to believe Prince Gallan, but he turned around and was slapped in the face.

Prince Garlan protected His Highness, but he returned from that meeting without success.

So this time, he learned to be smart and keep silent.

"and……"

"and?"

As soon as he heard the twist in Heymos's words, Soga, a conspiracy theorist, immediately perked up.

Sure enough, His Highness still knew what was going on.

His Highness must still be secretly guarding against Prince Gallan.

He thought with such satisfaction in his heart.

"Besides, it's nice to experience the feeling of being protected by Garlan once in a while."

Heimos said it in an understatement, but the words contained so much love that it seemed like it would overflow.

The dark eyelashes were slightly drooped, but the half-lidded eyes were full of smiles.

Suojia: "…………"

Ah, my heart is so tired.

Not long ago, he was eaten by a priest of Shamash, his mortal enemy, and now he ate some disgusting food from his own prince. Suojia was exhausted both physically and mentally.

…………

……………………

The commotion caused by the sudden incident in the Square of the Gods has subsided. The red-armored knight whose arm was bitten off by the big lion and stepped on heavily has completely passed out.

Sa Ge waved his hand and asked his subordinates to carry the traitor down, along with the bloody severed arm.

He will not let the betrayer go, but before that, he must interrogate who is the instigator behind the betrayer.

Since you dare to take action against the Royal Knights, you must be prepared to face the wrath of the Royal Knights.

At this point, things have come to light.

In order to lead his troops to rescue the city of Tozes, Prince Heimos stole the talisman guarded by the royal knights. However, the traitor in the royal knights waited for Prince Heimos to leave and took advantage of his companions' trust in him to kill him. He killed two knights and put the blame on Prince Heimos.

However, there is still a problem.

Although Heimos has been cleared of the crime of killing the royal knights, it is an indisputable fact that he used military symbols to mobilize the army without the permission of King Kamos.

He himself has admitted this.

And this matter...can be big or small.

Everything depends on King Camos's thoughts.

"Prince Gallan, you have found the real culprit, but Prince Heimos still committed the crime of stealing the talisman, so we will continue to guard him until King Kamos makes a judgment."

Captain Sage said to Garlan.

Compared with the first meeting, his attitude towards Garlan was less cold and more sincere.

Garlan helped him catch the traitors of the Royal Knights to prevent their honor from being tarnished further.

It is equivalent to being kind to him and being kind to the royal knights.

Therefore, apart from King Camos, the only one who could treat him like this was Prince Gallan.

Garlan also fell silent for a while at this moment.

Then, he nodded slightly to show that he understood.

In any case, the Heimos incident... won't be that easy.

After all, military power is an extremely sensitive thing no matter which dynasty or generation it belongs to.

He couldn't think of any good solution for a while.

His eyes swept across the ministers and nobles opposite. The expressions of those people were different, and some of them had incomprehensible expressions, but he could vaguely feel that they all had their own thoughts.

Especially the silent Chief Secretary, who didn't know what he was thinking about.

...It would be great if King Kamos was here now.

At this moment, Garlan couldn't help but think so in his heart.

The thought just came to his mind.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the edge of the square.

"King Camos is here——"

That shout shocked the whole audience.

Everyone standing on the square turned around and looked towards the entrance of the square.

A tall figure led a group of knights and strode towards the square.

The brown hair like a lion's mane, the calm and majestic face, and the tall and muscular body made everyone feel awe in their hearts.

Upon seeing the familiar figure in the distance, the noble ministers on the high platform immediately became unable to sit still.

They stood up one after another.

King Camos strode forward with a vigorous pace.

The wind howled and lifted up the thick red cloak behind him.

His golden brown eyes were piercing, and with a single glance, everyone bowed their heads in submission.

The entire square was silent at this moment.

It was as if time had stopped at this moment.

There was no need for anyone to scold or remind anyone. Naturally and silently, the crowded crowd retreated to both sides, revealing a spacious and straight road leading to the high platform.

Then, they all leaned over and knelt on the ground, pressing their foreheads to the ground.

They were piously expressing their surrender to the king.

Camos walked between the people kneeling on both sides and bowing their heads deeply to him.

Brown hair was flying in the air, and his posture was like a lion majestically patrolling his territory.

The bright sunlight fell and spread on the road that everyone gave way to, reflecting a golden light.

King Aaron Landis, who was striding forward, seemed to be walking on a path formed by the convergence of lights.

Behind that majestic body, a crimson cloak like burning flames flew behind him as he strode forward.

There was no one standing on either side of him.

When he ascended the high platform, the ministers, nobles, royal knights, guard knights and others who were standing on the high platform also knelt down.

Even the right minister, who had always relied on his old age, the chief minister with scheming intentions, and everyone with their own thoughts, were all kneeling on their knees at this moment, bowing their heads deeply to King Camos standing in front of them.

King of Aaron Landis, Camos.

The king of heroes.

The King of Lions.

His reputation spreads far and wide.

When he was there, no one dared to look up.

Wherever he goes, he can make everyone kneel to the ground without even a roar.

…

The Chief Secretary, who was kneeling down with his head bowed, was very uneasy. Although he was jumping up and down to do things when King Camos was not around, he was definitely one of the most honest people in front of King Camos. .

Perhaps it was because when the late king was poisoned and the bloody killings in the royal city by King Camos who had just ascended the throne caused him to be afraid of King Camos.

That night, the blood-stained royal city was engraved in his heart along with deep fear.

He dared to force the two princes because King Camos was away fighting and would not be able to come back for a while.

However, unexpectedly, King Camos, who was supposed to lead his army in triumph after four or five days according to the original plan, actually came back early with only a few guards and a light cavalry.

Feeling anxious in his heart, the Chief Secretary made up his mind to speak first.

Seeing that King Camos was striding towards this side, he took a step forward on his knees and spoke when King Camos passed by him.

"King, I..."

It had only been a few minutes since King Camos appeared, and he had already figured out how to explain it to King Camos.

He was eager to speak first and gain the upper hand.

However, as soon as he said a few words, he watched helplessly as those long legs stepped past him without stopping for a second.

His mouth was open, and all the words were stuck in his throat.

A chuckle suddenly came from among the people who were kneeling together. It was so low that it was unclear who came from it. It made the chief director's face turn red all of a sudden.

It had been a long time since he had been humiliated one after another like he was today.

If it had been anyone else, he would have been furious. But the other party was King Camos, so he could only suppress his anger in his stomach and continue to kneel honestly.

Without stopping to walk past everyone, King Camos walked directly in front of Garlan.

Unexpectedly, King Camos actually appeared at this moment. Garlan was a little stunned, and the surprise was also full of surprise.

Seeing King Camos walking in front of him, Garlan finally recovered from his surprise and smiled happily.

He opened his mouth and wanted to call out Brother Wang happily.

However, before he could make a sound, a pair of strong arms stretched out and hugged him.

The arms holding him were so strong that they choked him.

The look on King Camos's face at this moment made him a little at a loss.

King Camos hugged Garlan very tightly. Even in full view of the public, he didn't care at all about the surprised looks of others and kept holding the person in his arms tightly.

His nervous movements seemed like if he let go, Garlan would disappear in front of him.

Holding the boy in his arms, Kamos thought of the torturous days and nights.

He was used to galloping on the battlefield and only felt passionate and excited on the battlefield. He had never felt that war was so difficult.

From the day I received the news that "Tozes City may fall into the hands of pirates", every day has been torture.

He remembered that a long time ago, on the day when he received the news that his father was critically ill, he rushed back to the royal city from the battlefield day and night, but what he saw was his father's pale face.

He still remembered how his heart seemed to freeze at that moment.

After many years, he once again felt the same mood as that day.

…

The fearless lion king.

Everyone in the world calls him this.

But no one knew what kind of fear he was surrounded by during this time.

He is the king of Aaron Landis.

It is his duty to protect Aaron Landis.

It was impossible for him to leave even half a step before the battle with Yis was over.

He didn't dare to think about what would happen if his brother was really...

Holding Garlan tightly in his arms and feeling the familiar temperature, his tense spirit finally slowly relaxed.

The cold chest seemed to have regained a little warmth at this moment, allowing him to feel his heartbeat again.

What lingered on the tip of his nose was the scent that made him feel extremely reassured.

"Brother Wang?"

A low shout woke Kamos up. He opened his arms and looked at the boy in his arms.

On his anxious way back, he already knew everything about the battle in Tozes.

He knew very well how difficult and dangerous that battle was.

His brother Wang raised his head and looked at him. The young man's face still retained a bit of childishness, and he looked at him with confusion in his eyes.

But at the same time, under the childishness of this child, there is also the perseverance to bear everything.

This soft-looking boy has a will that is stronger than any strong man.

King Camos looked at each other with those bright golden eyes, his eyes were so gentle and filled with emotion.

He had always felt that his royal brother was still young and needed to be taken under his wing.

But before he knew it, the child he had always held in his hands and cared for had grown into a tall and beautiful tree, protecting the earth with his own power.

He held Garlan's shoulder and grinned.

He said: "Garlan, you are my pride."

He considered Shermer's proposal to him for a long time.

At this moment, he finally made up his mind.

Although it is still a young tree, it is already tough enough and has experienced enough storms.

So, it's time.

King Camos turned his head and glanced at everyone with scorching eyes.

"I hereby declare—"

Standing on a high platform, King Camos looked down at everyone.

Bright sunlight enveloped the land, and stone statues of the gods surrounded the square, looking down on their people.

Under the gaze of the gods, the voice of King Camos resounded throughout the square.

"On the day of the national ceremony of Aaronlandis in one month's time, the day of the celebration of the gods of Aaronlandis."

He said,

"I will make Garlan the crown prince of Aaron Landis!"

The Lion King's rich voice was so powerful that it seemed to pierce the sky.

There was silence between heaven and earth.

Only this one voice echoed across the entire land.

Echoing among the stone statues of the Aaron Landis gods that stand above the square.

Immediately afterwards, the entire square exploded with a bang.

…………

Amid the commotion, Garlan was completely stunned.

No.

etc.

...Wait for me!

Brother Wang

I finally escaped from Tozes City.

You are killing me now——

The author has something to say: Well, it’s almost time to change from Prince Garlan to Crown Prince Garlan.

…

Garlan: ...I heard the footsteps of the God of Death.
