A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 103. Chapter 103

“What are you talking about? Prince?!”

The man who had been leisurely drinking tea in the room watching the drizzle outside the window suddenly stood up.

The teacup in his hand slammed on the tabletop with a snap.

The pleasure of having everything in his control was slapped away in a moment, and the man’s face was rather ugly.

Not only did the work fail, but many of the people lurking in the crowd who were bought by him suddenly disappeared.

The man has a sullen face.

Obviously, everything was within reach, and the city was completely finished. Unexpectedly, the prince who suddenly appeared was stirred up by the prince who suddenly appeared.

He is clearly distinguished, and he wants to stay in this dangerous city.

That prince has a brain disease, right?

He thought unhappily.

Wait for me! I must solve this city.

The man said cruelly in his heart.

No matter how bad the man’s mood is, the matter has become a foregone conclusion. The people gathered in the square have left one after another and returned to their homes.

Before leaving, many people turned their heads to bow and apologize to the soldiers who had been torn and scolded by them just now.

They remembered what the prince had just said, that these soldiers who were unwilling to flee with the Archon stayed to live and die with Tozes City, and their crazy behavior just now, their faces were a little bit ashamed, and they spoke a little bit. Now.

The soldiers who were guarding the gate of the executive government had originally been scolded one by one, but they were also torn into a very embarrassed state. Now, their expressions have eased.

They nodded to the citizens who apologized to them, and then continued to stand at the gate under the drizzle, guarding the clinging government.

In the dark, the soldiers’ waists were straight.

As long as they think of what the prince said just now, they feel that they have infinite energy in their bodies, and they feel proud from the bottom of their hearts.

…………

On the coast outside the city, the pirate leader Basha, who had been paying attention to the situation in the city, saw the faint message in the dark night sky.

His original lazy expression turned gloomy in an instant, a cruel look came out of his small eyes, and he let out a heavy grunt from his nose.

Useless things.

Thinking like this in his heart, he stood up and impatiently kicked off the subordinates who were clamoring around him.

“Okay, let me go back and lie down on my stomach.”

He said, his tone was very uncomfortable.

“Early tomorrow morning, continue to attack the city.”

After speaking, he waved his hand and left.

The pirates who were still waiting for the boss to speak while attacking during the night looked left and right, and they dispersed, each went back and lay down.

…………

The city of Tozes in the dark finally recovered its calm. Garland did not return to the guest room of the tall tower next to the ruling government, but randomly found a room near the government affairs hall in the ruling government and stayed in.

In this case, it would be more convenient for Seth’s generals to report to him.

Not long after he arrived in the room, there was a knock on the door.

Then, the blond knight stepped forward.

Garlan looked at his guardian knight, inexplicably vague.

He asked: “Are you angry? Kaijos.”

Kaihus raised his eyes and met Garlan’s gaze.

In the square just now, facing thousands of excited city people who are still able to calm down, at this moment, like a kid in trouble, tilted his head to look at him.

Just seeing the look in the young man’s eyes, Kaihuos felt a mess.

He raised his hand and rubbed the soft blond hair.

“His Royal Highness, what I said, I am your knight.”

He looked at his prince softly.

“So, please do not have any scruples, continue to implement your will.”

“And I will always be by your side.”

Even death.

Swallowing the last sentence back into his throat, Kaihus smiled slightly at his prince, and then began to talk about the dozens of people who had been caught.

Because of the tight time, he just interrogated in a hurry.

“It has been clearly known that they were indeed instigated by others, but they did not know who they were. Most of them just accepted the other party’s property and did things for the other party.”

“I sent someone to the place they said to find it. The place is already empty, probably transferred.”

“The only thing I know now is that their members are not too many, and now more than half are in our hands. And they don’t have much loyalty to that person. It’s okay to just spread rumors, and really want to do something terrible. …They won’t do it.”

“As long as the city people calm down and are not bewitched by them, they will not be able to make waves.”

Kayhus finished the report, and then continued.

“His Royal Highness, regarding what you said to Seth and them that there will be reinforcements in four days, what are you going to do? It’s always bad to deceive them like this.”

“It’s not a deception.”

“However, in any case, the reinforcements of the Royal City are absolutely impossible to arrive in four days.”

“Kyjos, don’t you find anyone missing me?”

“Um?”

When Gallan said this, Kaihus reacted immediately.

By the way, where did Tal go?

He usually wanders around His Highness, but he hasn’t seen him all afternoon?

Because things happened one after another, and the little fat guy didn’t have much sense of existence, he had forgotten him.

Taal is indeed very courageous, but it is unbelievable to say that he left Garlan and escaped Kayjos.

Over the years, he knew very well how devoted the little fat man was to Garlan.

That guy simply worshiped Garlan as his own god, and even if he died, he must be holding the prince’s thigh with his face full of tears and nose.

“It’s up to him to wait for reinforcements in four days.”

“You mean…?”

“I asked a few guards to protect him and broke out of the city before the pirates encircled him in the afternoon.” Gallan said, “He took the token and went to the Elson Nation for help.”

“A token? Is the earring that the little queen gave you?”

“Yes.” Gallan nodded. “Get close, get in touch as soon as possible, and rescue us within four days, and they are the only ones who have naval forces powerful enough to fight pirates. And not long ago, we It’s kind of a kind relationship with them.”

He said: “As long as the Elson Navy can come to rescue Tozes City, we will be able to support the reinforcements from the Royal City.”

Kayhus frowned when he thought of the little fat guy accustomed to messing around around Garlan and flattering him.

“His Royal Highness, such an important matter… It is too reluctant to let Tal serve as an envoy to a country. Moreover, although Ailson is not recognized, he is a country after all. Even with that kind of grace, let a country send soldiers to rescue. This is a very difficult thing for cities in other countries. With Taal’s ability, I am afraid that he will not be able to complete your mission at all…”

“Do not.”

Gallan interrupted Kehos and said, “He can do it.”

The prince’s bright golden eyes looked at his knight.

“I trust Tal as if I trust you.”

Quiet for a long while.

Then, the one-eyed knight bowed his head and bowed his head in salute to his prince.

“I understand, Your Highness.”

He said,

“Now, it’s late at night, please rest well”

Starting tomorrow, Tozes City will fall into the most difficult predicament.

…………

One night passed, and there were not many people in Tozes who could not sleep at night.

I don’t know how many people are praying that the night will never pass and the sun will never rise.

However, no matter how they prayed, the sun still rose slowly from the sea level.

Almost in the early morning, fierce shouts of killing sounded on the wall.

The tall and spacious walls were already full of people, and the soldiers of Tozes were already standing on the walls.

Under the command of their respective captains, they firmly guarded the walls of their respective responsibilities.

Pushing aside the wooden ladder, the pirates who climbed the wooden ladder screamed and fell from the sky.

Pour oil on the climbing pirates, drop the torches, and burn those pirates into fireballs.

They tried their best to defend the city wall, but compared to the pirates who were several times theirs, their number was not enough, especially because the pirates had the support of warships.

Countless arrows only poured from the warship, forcing the soldiers to squat down and hide under the city wall.

Some pirate ships also have small trebuchets, constantly throwing stones over the city walls, smashing holes, and if the warriors don’t have time to avoid them, they will pass out by those stones.

In this case, pirates soon boarded the wall and slashed fiercely with their knives.

The soldiers started fighting on the wall with the pirates who climbed up the wall. However, this will cause more pirates to climb the wall.

The battlefield on this wall of the city near the sea is precarious everywhere.

Nearly a thousand soldiers, led by the commander of this war, Seth, were cruising on the wall, rushing up whenever there was a danger.

Under the bloody battles of the soldiers, even though they were in danger several times, they barely managed to survive this day.

Seeing that the sun was about to fall to the sea level, although the pirates were unwilling to do so, they had no choice but to retreat and retreated again.

As soon as the pirates retreated, many soldiers slumped on the ground, panting for breath.

Sweat, blood and water mixed with dust made them feel embarrassed.

They were sitting next to their companion’s body, with a sad look on their faces, but they were too tired to say anything.

After a long time, they helped each other and walked down the city wall.

In the evening, Seth and the other generals, who hadn’t eaten all day long, looked very ugly.

“His Royal Highness, the casualty statistics have come out.”

He said gravely, “The number of casualties among soldiers has almost reached 15%.”

Originally, all the guards in the city, plus his navy, and even the reserve team, all the soldiers had a total of seven or eight thousand men, and nearly a thousand men were lost in the first day of battle.

“I’m sorry, Your Highness, it’s our incompetence. The pirates have the cover of the warship, which is really unfavorable to us.”

Seth gritted his teeth.

Kaihus, who had read the information on the side, spoke.

“According to today’s situation, if this continues, let alone three days, I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold it tomorrow.”

He closed his eyebrows.

“Even if I bring all my guards up, there are too few people to help.”

For a moment, everyone fell into silence.

Make bricks without straw.

No matter how powerful a general, if he has no soldiers, he can’t do anything.

“Seth.”

Garlan spoke suddenly.

“Yes?”

“You said there should be eight thousand soldiers, but I don’t think there are so many on the battlefield today.”

“Yes, Your Highness, there are more than a thousand city guards in the wood factory in the west of the city to guard the slaves.”

“Slave?” Gallan was taken aback, “Didn’t you say last time that you have solved all the slaves in the riots in the upper city?”

“The slaves in the riots have indeed been resolved, but, your Highness, the slaves who did not participate in the riots in the upper city and all the slaves in the lower city, add up to tens of thousands.” Seth said, “we must send soldiers to guard. Those slaves, otherwise, if the tens of thousands of slaves mess up again when the pirates are attacking the city, we will be completely finished.”

Gallan stopped talking. He sat there, lowered his eyes, and meditated for a long time.

After a long time, he pursed his lips, as if he had made up his mind.

Looking up, he stood up.

“Seth, take me to the place where the slaves are held.”

“Huh? Why are you…”

“Going right now.”

Garlan said categorically.

…………

A large area in the west of Tozes is a large wood factory, and it is always crowded, bustling and lively.

Of course, work is now suspended.

Yesterday afternoon, Seth transformed this place into a simple large open-air cell, drove most of Tozes’ slaves into this place, and sent nearly a thousand city guards to guard them outside.

He ordered that any slave, as long as he dared to take a step here, be killed on the spot.

Many slaves didn’t know anything about the Shangcheng District. They were driven to the wooden fence for some reason. They saw the pirates attacking the city from a distance. The smoke was everywhere, and everyone couldn’t help but feel anxious.

The slaves stayed here for two days and one night. No one gave them food. They were all hungry. Fortunately, it rained last night and they could drink a few mouthfuls of rain.

In today’s day, listening to the sound of fighting in the distance, watching the unkind eyes of the city guards, they shrank into a ball and became more and more nervous.

They are so hungry.

News began to spread between them secretly, saying that the citizens of Tozes City were worried that they would riot again and would gather them and kill them all.

A few people were flirting, saying that it was all death anyway. Instead of starving to death or being killed, it was better to fight.

One day passed, and in the evening, the slaves who had not eaten for two days were already dizzy with hunger.

Hunger caused the panic in the hearts of the slaves to emerge a little bit.

Do those people want them to starve to death?

The few people who sneaked in secretly pretending to be slaves saw the effect and became more active. They agitated, saying that they had tens of thousands of people, and the city guards were no more than a thousand people. Everyone would go on together, otherwise they would have to wait for death and so on. if.

However, no matter how they fought, the habit of being slaves a long time ago and the suppression of the upper city not long ago made this group of slaves dare not do anything for the time being, and continued to be accustomed to endure it.

However, the feeling of dissatisfaction inevitably gradually fermented.

No one knows how big this dissatisfaction will be and when it will break out.

The sky was not dark yet, and suddenly these hungry slaves smelled the fragrance of rice porridge. They raised their heads, sucked their noses vigorously, and looked at the place where the fragrance was wafting out.

The wooden door rails that had been closed for two days were opened, and several cars were pushed in. The scent of porridge floated from the huge tanks on the wooden cars.

They subconsciously swarmed up, but before they squeezed up, they were pushed back by the guards.

The city guards shouted loudly to make them line up, and then distributed the porridge to them with inferior gourd scoops, and one person could receive a rough buckwheat cake.

The extremely hungry slaves almost devoured the food, and the dissatisfaction in their hearts dissipated a lot when there was food, and they simply ignored the sullen guys.

The slaves who were patronizing and eating did not see them. Not far away, behind the city guard, a group of people were watching them.

Seth was smiling bitterly: “His Royal Highness, when is this, do you still have time to worry about whether these slaves have enough to eat?”

Gallan glanced at him.

“Didn’t you say that the defenders are not enough?”

“It’s not enough, but what does this have with this group of slaves…”

Halfway through, Seth stopped abruptly, as if he had understood something.

“No! No, your highness!”

He objected fiercely.

“This group of slaves is not worthy of trust! You know, the slaves in the upper city rioted not long ago! Although the slaves here did not participate, they are also slaves. Maybe they will hold the same mind. How can you— ”

“The purpose of those slave riots is to want freedom, isn’t it?”

Gallan’s eyes lightly swept over the tens of thousands of slaves.

He said: “Okay, I give them freedom.”

Wanting to bring a wave of rhythm in the slaves again, but this time, a man who ended before it started said: “MMP!”
