The cold wind blew into the room, Thales couldn't help tightening his clothes.

"So, since last year, you have instigated the Liberty Alliance to rebel against Exter, stirred up the political storm in Dragon Clouds City, sent Star Cavalry across the desert, and asked me to return to China via the Western Wilderness... All of these are the 'Sand King' a part of?"

The fire was dim, and the king across the long table was silent for a while.

"some are."

King Kessel raised his eyes and shot Thales directly:

"Some are not."

Thales exhaled, connecting all the things that happened from the previous year to the present.

"Then why not choose the northern border," the prince said in a slightly tired voice:

"Don't you choose a place that also has Broken Dragon Fortress as a fulcrum, and the Duke's family has been completely emptied by you, almost like a place directly under your control?"

The king didn't answer, but just stared at him coldly.

Thales sighed and looked back at the king:

"Please, if you don't tell me, I can't help you."

King Kessel didn't reply, but his eyes were deep and he didn't know what to think.

And Thales stared at the other party's eyes, trying to find something from the stack of blue.

Finally, King Kessel snorted softly and looked away.

"Because Val Allende is still in my prison, and because the first heir of Coldcastle is an orphan girl who is hard to accept..."

"All eyes will be on the North, on what the Fuxing Palace is doing."

The king's voice sank:

"And the officials sent by the kingdom to the northern border... are still young and lack prestige."

"In comparison, Xihuang's 'emergency control order' is still in effect, and it is more convenient for us to do things."

State of Emergency Control Order.

more convenient.

Thales couldn't help but think of Enci Town, and what he saw and heard in Xihuang on the way.

"It makes sense," Thales said calmly:

"But not enough to stop you reaching out to the North."

The Iron Fist King suddenly raised his eyes.

After a few seconds, he spoke slowly:

"The northern border, after all, is adjacent to Exeter."

Thales raised his eyebrows suddenly.

This is the reason.

King Kessel said in a deep voice:

"It adjoins a newly crowned and vigorous enemy king—Charmain Rumba has too many surprises to fathom."

Having said that, he glanced at Thales and changed his tone:

"Of course, compared to you, he is still far behind in this regard."

Thales ignored his sarcasm.

"why me?"

The prince said lightly:

"How is the 'Sand King' plan arranged, and why did you find me?"

The Iron Fist King was silent, just looked at him coldly.

Thales sighed:

"Have you always talked like this? Can't hold back a word for a long time?"

The king stared at him, but his eyes were as strange as staring at another person.

After a long time, King Kessel spoke just now:

"Because we need a reason."

"reason?"

King Kessel looked away and looked at the night outside the window:

"Because we want to deceive the cunning and treacherous Xihuang people, so that they will not be suspicious of the royal standing army marching into Xihuang on a large scale, as a bargaining chip for all actions."

Thales understood.

"Oh, the excuse of protecting the heir to the throne and returning to the country safely is indeed enough," Thales snorted softly:

"They probably thought that there are very few kings in the world who would take the safety of their heirs seriously."

The Iron Fist King's eyes were like sharp knives.

"It's just a joke," Thales shrugged:

"That's it? I'm a reason to cover the standing army's massive westward march?"

King Kaiser said coldly:

"We also need a bond."

Thales frowned.

King Kessel continued: "In order to let the people of the Western Wilderness believe in the bargaining: the royal standing army had no choice but to abandon the Saber Camp and withdraw from the western front in exchange for the princes of the Western Wilderness to mobilize army support to protect you back to the capital. "

"And I'm the guarantee," Thales suddenly realized, and said faintly:

"Guarantee that there is nothing wrong with the western front that they have at their fingertips, and that this bait is non-toxic and harmless, and you can eat it with confidence."

Iron Fist King nodded, seemingly disdainful:

"Because there are very few kings in the world who would take an heir seriously."

Thales was taken aback for a moment, then hummed unhappily.

Cheapskate.

Didn't I just mock you.

I really hold a grudge.

Thales sat upright and stopped thinking about it:

"So, in order to carve up the western front and the vast territory you gave, the baited Western Wilderness lords will pull up a team, willingly walk out of the castle that has been entrenched for many years, walk into the position of the royal standing army unsuspectingly, gather in one place, It is convenient for you to catch them all in one go, saving you the trouble of breaking down one by one?"

King Kessel was silent for a while.

"more than."

The king said in a deep voice:

"For this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and to seize the huge profits from the desert trade routes, the princes of the Western Wilderness, who have been jealous for more than ten years, will prepare funds, prepare supplies, and even find a good way to make war fortunes. It can be said that they have exhausted their wealth. "

King Kessel looked at the gate:

"Those will become the expanded budget of the royal standing army."

Thales snorted lightly, not surprised.

"Sure enough, it can be supplemented locally, saving time and effort."

The prince lowered his head, his eyes fixed:

"Anke Bailar and his father, their encounter is not an exception, let alone a coincidence."

"Because in the plan of the 'Sand King', the princes of the Western Wilderness are destined to encounter strange attacks from the desert forces, and even be 'accidentally injured' by the legendary wings and the standing army, and lose everything."

Queen Kessel leaned back in her chair and nodded:

"When Xihuang suffered a disastrous defeat, the battle situation was urgent..."

His eyes sharpened:

"For the sake of the overall situation, in order to recapture the extraordinary Saber Camp, the royal standing army who came one step later 'had to' break the tradition, act cheaply, punish and deprive the incompetent noble generals, break up and reorganize the defeated remnants of the conscript army..."

"It's just as it should be, and they have no reason and no ability to resist."

Thales exhaled and took over the conversation:

"However, there are always accidents in war. If there are discords during the adaptation process, and the progress is not good..."

King Kessel's eyes moved, and he looked at him.

Thales paused, remembering the first time he met Mallos, and got a little understanding.

"I guess, since the heir to the kingdom is in Xihuang, for the sake of the kingdom's bloodline, it is also natural for the Fuxing Palace to send more troops there to support and deal with accidents - such as the army you sent to 'greet' me. "

Thales recalled the black and white confrontation between the Western Wilderness Army and the Standing Army on the Enci Avenue.

King Kessel did not speak.

Thales said in a daze:

"As for the aftermath, it's a done deal. It doesn't matter whether it's the conscripted army that was broken up and reorganized, the nobles who were punished and deprived of command, or the family that was directly abolished the right to conscription, or the Western Wilderness that was re-delineated the scope of military control. collar……"

"Everything you want, under the cloak of the "Emergency Control Order", in the name of "wartime exceptions", will be "temporarily" in the Western Wilderness, just like the Saber Camp and Enci Town."

Thales thought of the Earl of Wing Fort, what Dele Cromar said to him during the escort, and couldn't help but be fascinated:

"One year, two years, five years, ten years, until—forever."

King Kessel snorted disdainfully, seemingly dissatisfied.

The lights flickered, and the light and shadow in the room swayed back and forth, making the surroundings flickering and turbulent.

Thales took a deep breath.

He returned to the present moment and adjusted his state.

"So, from the moment you negotiated with the princes of the Western Wilderness and exchanged their troops from the Western Front, the standing army marched westward to rescue the prince, the foreign enemy took the opportunity to invade the Western Wilderness and failed miserably, and then the standing army was 'forced' and resorted to extraordinary measures' impromptu Disposal', until the war subsides and the dust settles..."

Thales' tone became more and more serious:

"With this combination of punches, you can truly 'twist' the scattered and chaotic military armaments of the Western Wilderness vassals into a single strand."

"Change the time-honored military conscription system."

Thales restrained his expression, slowly raised his head, and saw the figure of the king on the opposite side of the long table.

"The name, the reason, the general trend, and the actual benefits are all in your hands. The rest of the Western Wilderness vassals and even other nobles in the kingdom have nothing to say even if they have doubts, let alone raise their troops to resist."

There was no response from the end of the long table.

"Also, what happened in the Western Wilderness is happening in the Western Wilderness. In the final analysis, this is only an emergency in a local area, not a mandatory decree affecting the entire territory. It will not arouse the enthusiasm of the people and pay the price of chaos in the kingdom."

Thales' words were filled with emotion:

"Of course, the wool comes from the sheep. Whether it's expanded or restructured, the sources of budget funds and conscription are all robbed of the money, land, and people of the princes of the Western Wilderness. You don't even need to use much of the treasury budget, and you can't lose money."

The prince crossed his arms and took a deep breath. While recalling the warmth and dryness of Xihuang, he felt the darkness and coldness in Fuxing Palace:

"Once things are done, from now on, from the Saber Camp to Enci Town, from Rikenan to Heroic Soul Fort, and even Wing Fort and Ruins..."

His tone unknowingly brought a trace of awe:

"On the land of the Western Wilderness, unless there is the permission of the Fuxing Palace, the local lords can no longer conscript troops to command operations on their own. The royal standing army will become the only reliable place for legal arming and military service."

The king made no answer, and the Ballard room fell silent.

The dim and erratic lights gradually became stable, casting each of the utensils in Ballard's room with its own unique shadow.

Thales gently rubbed the back of his hand:

"More importantly, this is just the beginning."

He looked deeply at the High King:

"With the precedent of the Western Wilderness, it is no longer an irreversible natural tradition for the lord to conscript and the princes to support the army."

"When people gradually get used to the idea that 'only a king can have an army', there will be examples to follow in the reform of the military system in the entire Xingchen territory, and it will be a matter of course."

Thales suddenly remembered the battle he saw in the desert:

"It's like a cavalry charging, no matter how perfect the defensive formation is, once it is rushed out of the gap and the flanks are exposed..."

He said in a daze:

"The rest is the tide sweeping..."

"The momentum is like a broken bamboo."

King Kessel still didn't speak, but this time, he turned his gaze away from Thales.

"What a 'Sand King'."

Thales couldn't help sighing:

"So, Xihuang is really a good horse."

It can completely pull the chariot of the kingdom.

only……

"Until you show up."

The king's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Thales' thoughts.

The prince couldn't help frowning.

"The report from the Secret Division said that in the great desert, you originally met the patrolling troops of the standing army, but you didn't meet them as planned. Instead, you disappeared without a trace and disappeared without a trace."

If the king's words had power, they were accompanied by the cold wind outside the window, making the permanent lights in the room flicker.

Thinking of the past, Thales hesitated:

"I……"

But King Kessel did not allow the prince to interrupt, his eyes became sharp and cold:

"On the night when the operation started, you inexplicably appeared in the center of the storm, and you brought a lot of friends: Shadow Shield, Northerners, Darkroom, and even a lot of sword sellers mixed in with your ass - Bone of the Bone A day trip to prison?"

Taylor's heart tightened:

"about this……"

The king snorted coldly and stopped looking at him: "The people on the western front do not have the courage to revive the palace. They are cowardly and hesitant, and dare not take the risk of losing their heirs. Therefore, they stand still and disperse their personnel, resulting in serious disjointed actions."

"And our spies should have encouraged the warlike orcs and bone men to attack the armies of the princes while the standing army was far away, but they seemed to have sensed something in advance. Not only did the main force not come, even the siege was just a feint. Retire immediately."

Hearing this, Thales couldn't help saying:

"Um, yes, I heard that there is an orc named Kandar in the desert..."

But in the next second, King Kessel's gaze struck again like a sword blade!

"Uh," Thales put away his smile, determined not to say more:

"fine."

The king ignored him, but looked at a faint and erratic eternal lamp, the chill and dissatisfaction in his eyes were clearly visible:

"Williams was lying in ambush on the side of Saber Camp. That idiot has always been vigorous and resolute. Instead, he procrastinated and slowed down that day. He waited until the battle was almost over before leading the troops back to the camp, which delayed the opportunity of the battle."

Hearing the familiar name, Thales shuddered.

"This allowed the princes of the Western Wilderness in the Saber Camp to retreat calmly——Wild Ruins, Wing Fort, and Heroic Soul Fort. The main forces of the three major Western Wilderness families were even more vigilant. "

Thales recalled what the Duke of Xihuang said to him, "power comes from violence", and his brows became more and more frowned.

"Afterwards, that old bone of Falkenhaus made a surprise visit to the Saber Camp in front of everyone. Not only did he chat and laugh with you, but he also gave you a family heirloom sword. The news quickly spread throughout the kingdom."

Thales took a deep breath, remembering the "Warning" sword that Falkenhauser gave him, and unconsciously clenched his fists.

"As for the crow and the black lion, they escorted you all the way out of the Western Wilderness in a ostentatious and submissive manner, as if they were flattering the king, and blocked the reinforcements sent by the Fuxing Palace."

King Kessel snorted lightly:

"In the end, the Kingdom's Secret Division launched an emergency plan to try to recover the losses."

His eyes were directed at Thales, and at that moment, it seemed as if he wanted to dig out his heart.

"As you said, in the matter of the Western Wilderness, the horse stumbled."

"'Sand King' is on the brink of failure."

Thales closed his eyes, leaned back in the chair, and sighed heavily.

It turned out that that night, when he was fleeing desperately in the Saber camp...

In places he couldn't see, many thrilling and extraordinary things were happening.

"But the mere stumble of a horse, the mere failure of Xihuang, will not stop the kingdom."

The king's voice was sharp, and Thales opened his eyes.

I saw King Kessel's expression was extremely calm, but there was endless storm in his eyes:

"That's why I got this letter."

Thales lowered his head and looked at the letter in his hand. The wax of the iris was dim under the constant light.

"Xihuang didn't do it, so I changed to another place."

The Iron Fist King's tone was cold and could not be refuted:

"Whatever the cost."

"cost geometry"

At that moment, Thales gritted his teeth tightly.

Falkenhauser's voice sounded faintly in his ears:

[And a person like your father will accept the reality and give up, or will he look at me and Xihuang's strength and attitude with admiration...]

[Go all out, pay back a hundred times? 】

"Now," King Kessel's eyes returned to Thales:

"It's your turn to speak."

now you.

The king's words were plain, but they echoed countless times in Thales' heart:

"what do you have?"

"what can you do?"

King Kessel said coldly:

"To make up for your folly?"

Thales was silent.

He looked at the faint lights in the room, not knowing what to think.

"how?"

King Kessel sneered, with a mocking tone:

"Can't you hold back a word for a long time?"

But in the next second, Thales suddenly spoke.

"do you hate me?"

The tone is ethereal and the voice is indifferent.

At that moment, even King Kessel, who was as calm as King Kessel, couldn't help but wonder:

"What?"

Thales took a deep breath, looked at the empty corner, and said in a trance:

"I asked……"

"From Broken Dragon Fortress to Dragon Cloud City, from Eternal Star City to West Wilderness, you have constantly calculated and used me, and you have put me in danger many times, trapped me to death, and thrown your own son into the wolves. "

King Kessel frowned deeply.

"Why?"

Thales sighed:

"Why do you hate me so much?"

"Is it like written in many novels, my birth killed my mother, so you even hate me?"

At that moment, King Kessel's eyes sharpened!

"Or, what did my mother, Serangirana, do before she gave birth to me that made you hate your whole life?"

Thales stared at King Kessel.

Serangirana.

Sure enough, the name worked.

Because the iron-fisted king who has always said that he is categorical and unyielding is actually frowning at this moment, with deep eyes.

As if facing an unprecedented chess game.

Thales smiled.

"Why, to be able to complete the 'Sand King', promote the reform of the military system, and use the bargaining chip to prosper the kingdom..."

He gritted his teeth and stared at the silent King Kessel V:

"Can't you exchange a sentence, the truth about my mother?"
