A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 115. Chapter 115

The underpass buried by the piles of rubble vibrated violently, one after another, one after another, the rubble kept rolling down, and the number of stones blocking the door became less and less, and the wooden door at the underpass The shaking became more and more intense.

Finally, with a bang, rubble splashed away, and a big hole was smashed into the wooden door.

Two more times, the underpass was completely knocked open.

A slender figure jumped out of the dark dark tunnel, and the knights under his command filed out behind him.

As soon as he raised his head, the golden-red pupils shrank violently at this moment.

The heart deep in the chest beat violently.

In the dark night sky, the burning crimson flame not far away reflected red for half of the night sky, and also reflected the loss of Heimos’ eyes for an instant.

The dark sky.

The red flame tossing like a fire snake.

Spots of blood falling along the way.

The huge stone temple burned by flames.

Also, the figure of the young man who was swallowed by flames in the depths of the hall…

At this moment, he seemed to be back in that terrible nightmare.

…………

Uptown.

Kaihus chased his guards all the way, chased out the secret tunnel, and blocked the escaped pirates in the house at the last moment.

After looking around, he recognized it. This was the house of the big merchant where he and His Highness had stayed for one night.

Unexpectedly, in order to collude with the governor, this person actually dug a secret tunnel directly underground to the governing government.

The former Tozes naval commander Taka, when he first saw the one-eyed knight, he excitedly asked for help, and then the sneered one-eyed knight severely kicked and broke a rib.

So he got down to be honest.

At this moment, he was paralyzed on the ground faintly, with a gray face and an embarrassed expression, and he answered Kehos’ questions on his stomach.

“The pirate leader… Basha took the prince a different way. We were he who led the chasers just in case.”

He said weakly,

“The other exit is beside the abandoned temple in Xiacheng…”

Another way, then the way that Prince Huimos chased him?

After thinking about it for a moment, Kaihus turned his head and looked at someone beside him.

He asked: “Where is the abandoned temple in Xiacheng?”

“It’s the Shrine of Shamash before the city of Tozes.”

The middle-aged slave who followed him replied.

“A long time ago, there used to be a temple of Shamash in the city of Tozes. When I was very young, I heard the old man say that the temple collapsed because of a tsunami, and later, it was abandoned.”

“Probably everyone thinks the ruins are unlucky, and the ruins of the temple are in the corner of Tozes City, which is relatively remote, so few people go there.”

As Kayhus listened to the middle-aged slave, one of his guards who was in charge of guarding the outside suddenly walked into the house quickly, with an anxious expression on his face.

“Your Excellency Kaijos, something has happened, please come out and take a look immediately!”

Kaihus immediately walked out of the room.

As soon as he reached the courtyard, he frowned.

Standing in the courtyard of this tall house, he could vaguely see a corner of the Xiacheng district igniting a fire.

“grown ups–”

When the middle-aged slave who came out saw the flames there, his face suddenly changed, and his tone of voice became tense.

“That location is the abandoned temple!”

“!!!”

Kaihus was shocked.

He looked up and saw that under the dark night sky, only the fire in that place was burning the sky.

It burned the night sky, and it also made him feel uneasy to the extreme.

…………

……………………

The abandoned temple was crackling in the fire, and the decayed wood and ragged cloth that had been piled up for a long time ignited at a single point, helping the fire wave to sweep through the entire hall.

Not long after, this abandoned temple became a sea of flames.

Because the oil was only spilled on the edge of the abandoned hall, Basha could only go out and set the fire.

At this moment, in the abandoned temple surrounded by fire, he was slowly walking back.

There were blood stains on the road he walked, and the blood stains he left were swallowed by the flames that followed.

He walked back to where he put the prince down.

Flames ignited from all directions, dancing wildly in the night sky.

The heat wave hit, stirring the broken curtain hung on the stone pillar to fly violently in the air.

In the heat and the scorching redness, only the blond boy was lying quietly on the stone ground.

The golden hair became brighter and brighter in the light of the fire.

The flames reflected the slightly flushed face, and he fell asleep quietly, his lips and teeth, and his eyebrows were exquisite works of art that made people reluctant to touch them.

For fear of touching it, I put a smudge on it.

Basha, who staggered back, sat down in front of the boy, cross-legged, and fixed his eyes on the boy.

His face was gloomy, and he couldn’t see what he was thinking about staring at Garlan.

“…It’s so pretty.”

After watching it for a while, he said to himself.

His pupils have been somewhat dilated, which is a sign of dying.

At this moment, his consciousness was a little fuzzy, he didn’t listen to his orders, and even the fierce aura that had remained unchanged for thousands of years in his eyes slowly dissipated.

In fact, just kill the little prince directly at the secret crossing.

It’s just that at that time, for some reason, he was holding a scimitar but couldn’t make it.

What a pity.

He stared at the boy and thought.

Almost, just a little bit, this beautiful little prince is his.

Basha turned his head and looked at the crimson flames burning in all directions.

He will be buried in a sea of flames and burned to ashes by the flames.

fine.

he thinks.

As a member of the pirates, he didn’t want to be like those dead pirates in the past, after his death, his body was twisted and hung on the city wall, wind and rain, until the body rotted into bones.

He has always been a cruel man.

Be cruel to others, and be cruel to yourself.

He would rather burn himself to ashes with a fire than let his body fall into the hands of those who hate him.

Besides, there are people who can be burned to ashes with him, isn’t it good, isn’t it?

Thinking of this, Basha once again turned his gaze to Garlan.

The teenager was still asleep, breathing quickly, and the fine sweat from his thin skin wetted the blond hair on his cheeks.

He looked at the young man, his gaze was a little dazed, and he muttered to himself.

“It’s weird… I can’t kill people…”

Obviously such a slender neck, such a fragile throat, even if he is dying now, he can just stretch out his hand and force it to break it.

But the strange thing is that he just couldn’t make it.

Because when he looked at this boy, he had a very subtle feeling.

“This can be considered a martyrdom, your Royal Highness?”

The blood at the corner of his mouth was still flowing continuously, Basha smiled happily, the laughter was weird, revealing deep malice.

He looked at Garlan with cold eyes, stretched out his hand, and squeezed Garlan’s hot cheeks.

“You must be unwilling to die with a ugly pirate like me, right?”

Basha’s mood at this moment is very unwilling and very complicated.

His grand cause, his ambition for the future, were all destroyed by this young man.

I have to say that he has a deep hatred for Garlan.

However, that hatred was mixed with many subtle and complicated emotions that were inexplicable.

He hated Garlan for ruining his own affairs.

However, Garlan managed to turn the tide and abruptly defended the city of Tozes, which was destined to fall.

While he hated his bad things, he couldn’t help but admire in his heart.

Basha suddenly remembered that day, the day Garland first appeared on the city wall.

When he first saw the figure of the blond boy appearing on the city wall, he suddenly felt his heart jumped, an indescribable feeling of panic and throbbing welled up.

Because at that time, he suddenly felt that something had been changed abruptly.

He seemed to have lost a lot of things at that moment, even if he didn’t know what he had lost.

As a pirate, he never believed in fate.

But at that moment, there was an indescribable throbbing in his heart, which made him flustered.

He can’t tell why, but he just feels that way. He himself feels absurd.

The appearance of this young man changed his destiny that originally belonged to him.

The encounter between the two of them at this moment cut off his future abruptly.

So ridiculous.

But it’s so real.

………………

At this moment, Basha sat cross-legged in front of Garlan, his pupils spreading out a little bit, he leaned over and slowly stroked the boy’s hot face.

But he looked at Garlan with a ferocious gaze, with a sneer on his face.

“But, even if you are not reconciled, you can only die with me.”

“Even if we die, our ashes will be mixed together by the fire, and no one can distinguish a handful of ashes.”

He stared at Garlan, his eyes were evil and weird.

“At that time, even if your subordinates hate me, they won’t be able to separate me from you.”

“Heh, maybe my ashes can follow you into the royal tomb and enjoy the sacrifices of the royal family of Aaron Landis, hehe…hmmm!!”

The pirate’s laughter stopped abruptly.

He opened his mouth, his blood-filled lips trembled, but he couldn’t make a sound.

His pupils trembled, zooming to the limit.

A sharp dagger sank into his chest.

The teenager who had been lying quietly on the ground had been in a coma suddenly turned over and sat up.

At this moment Basha was defenseless, a sword pierced his heart.

Basha stiffened and fell down.

At the last glance, before falling into the boundless darkness, he only had time to see the golden eyes of the young man that looked to him as sharp as a sword.

… so bright… so dazzling, just like the sun…

The last thought flashed through his mind, Basha fell to the ground sideways, his face twisted, extremely ferocious, bleeding from his open mouth.

He lay on the ground with his eyes wide open, the fire shining on his unwilling and disgusting face.

This pirate, who should have been galloping on the sea in the future, is famous and powerful enough to confront a country, and at the same time burns, kills, plunders and commits bloody crimes. At this moment, countless people are frightened when they hear his name. Swallowed one last breath.

…………

Garlan panted violently beside the dead pirate.

His faintly flushed face was reflected by the crimson fire, fine sweat leaked from his thin skin, and wet blond hair stuck to his cheeks.

He sat there panting for a long time, and the action of piercing the dagger into the pirate’s chest had almost exhausted his last strength.

When he was released from the sack by the pirates, he had a vague sense of consciousness, but only a vague sense of consciousness that could feel what was happening around him.

He burned too badly, his consciousness was hazy, his limbs were weak, his body was weak, and his body was not under his control at all.

Only let the pirate carry him in and throw him here.

Then, the pirates left, and immediately afterwards, a fire broke out all around.

When the heat wave hit, he rushed to wake him up a bit, and his weak and weak body seemed to recover a bit of strength.

Then, he continued to pretend to be unconscious, and when the pirate came back and approached him, he seized the opportunity to stab the dagger into the opponent’s heart.

Gallan panted for a long time, and finally felt that he had recovered a little bit of strength.

The heat waves hit one after another, and the surrounding fires burned more and more fiercely.

The smoke produced by the fire made him cough violently. He covered his nose and mouth, and the sweat on his forehead flowed more intensely.

Can’t wait to die here.

He thought, gritted his teeth, tried to prop up his body and stood up swayingly.

Looking around, there is a sea of fire all around.

He stood and breathed hurriedly, and then hobbled in the direction that hadn’t been burned by the fire.

Behind him, the flame spread to the pirate’s body little by little, burning it up little by little.

…………

In the sea of flames, it is difficult to distinguish the north, south, east and west.

His eyes are full of crimson colors.

Gallan was panting violently, and he felt his consciousness become increasingly blurred.

Not only the heat wave outside, he felt like fire was burning in his body, burning his internal organs, burning his flesh and blood, and making the blood in his body boil.

As if to burn his whole person to ashes.

He staggered all the way, and he didn’t know how long or how far he had walked.

There is a sea of fire all around, there is no end in sight, no way out.

His little strength is being exhausted little by little, and his vision is dimming little by little.

In fact, he couldn’t hold on anymore.

It’s just the breath in his chest, and a little thought of wanting to live, trying to support him to continue walking forward in the sea of fire.

When he staggered forward, half awake, not knowing what he had tripped under his feet, he staggered and fell to the ground.

Gallan lay down on the ground and panted quickly, a face that was horribly red, not knowing whether it was in the light of fire or burning.

On the contrary, his lips were pale, and there were several blood holes in them.

He panted, struggling to hold on to the ground, trying to stand up.

His arms propped on the ground trembled, and finally held up a little, then fell down again.

After falling down, there was no sound for a long while.

In the crimson sea of fire, the young man lay awkwardly on the stone ground, with long golden hair scattered all over the ground.

He closed his eyes and gasped for a while.

Then, his hands rested on the ground again.

It’s just that this time he didn’t try to struggle to stand up again, but only propped up his upper body and sat up.

Garlan sat on the rocky ground with his head up.

The firelight was reflected in his golden pupils.

There was a sea of fire all around him, and he couldn’t see anything except the burning flame and the dark night sky above his head.

…That’s it.

The young man kneeled quietly on the ground, in the sea of fire.

Scarlet flames jumped around him, slowly spreading towards him.

This time, he was going to die in the fire again.

He sat there, his consciousness a little fuzzy.

Everything in front of me is slowly dimming.

This time, if you die, you are really dead.

There is no chance again.

Gallan looked dazed, raised his head slightly, and a little mist covered his eyes.

Water marks slowly seeped from the corners of his eyes.

…He is dying…

He opened his eyes, but couldn’t control the tears oozing from the corner of his eyes.

He clenched his hand, but couldn’t control the shaking of his fingertips.

His body was trembling with extreme fear, and there was some kind of unspeakable sadness.

It’s the same as coming to this world for the first time.

He will die in the fire.

…No matter how much he wants to live…

The flames are burning, and there are constant sounds of falling things around, or broken stones, or burning rotten wood.

The palace that has stood on the ground for too long and decayed for too long is shattering and collapsing.

A sloping column was surrounded by flames. The flames surrounded it and burned. Finally, this sloping column could no longer withstand the burning of the fire.

There was a crisp sound, and a crack opened at its root.

The crack was bursting and spreading rapidly.

The next second, it shook a few times in the flames, and broke apart from the roots.

The cracking sound made Garlan raise his eyes subconsciously.

His pupils dilated suddenly at this moment.

The huge column surrounded by scarlet flames crashed down towards him.

It was too late for him to escape.

…He no longer has the strength to avoid it.

The young man sat on the ground with his head up.

The huge column surrounded by flames was reflected in the golden pupils.

From far to near in his eyes–

In the flames.

In the sea of fire.

Suddenly, one of his hands suddenly stretched out from the diagonally.

Those brown hands sank into the crimson flame without hesitation.

It pressed against a column that was burned hot by the fire, and held it in the air abruptly.

The chick was inaudible, like the sound of a soldering iron.

A scorched breath instantly filled the air.

The corners of the visitor’s eyes were twitching almost convulsively, and his thin lips were tightened like a blade, but his hands stretched into the flames still firmly supported the collapsed pillar of fire.

With a violent force, the collapsed pillar of fire was pushed aside by him.

He stood there, panting violently, his hands trembling in front of him.

Not to mention the arms that were burned by the flames, his burned palms on the burning cylinder were almost completely peeled off, and the injuries looked terrifying to the extreme.

Huimos took a deep breath and controlled the tremor of his hand caused by the sharp pain.

He turned around.

Leaning over and kneeling halfway in front of Garlan.

“Don’t be afraid.”

He stretched out his hand and wiped the tear from the corner of Garlan’s eye with his burnt fingertips.

The flames burned all around, reflecting red on his cheeks.

The gaze he looked at Garlan was gentler than anything else.

He said, “I am here.”

He softly coaxed the young man crying in the sea of fire that he had finally found.

All things in the world, the ruins and the sea of fire, the pain of the heart.

It couldn’t be better than a drop of tears in the golden eyes of a young man watching him at this moment.

…………

Anxiously rushing to the ruins, Kaihuos just stood before the burning temple, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a scene that shocked him to stand still.

Under the dark night, the temple engulfed by flames was burning.

The roof of the temple collapsed, the stone walls burst, and rubble fell.

In the boiling flames, someone came out of the fire.

The crimson fire light reflected the figure of Heimos coming out of the flame from behind.

His hands were full of shocking burn marks.

But the burned hands firmly and carefully hugged the young man in his arms to his chest.

Garlan nestled quietly in Huimos’ arms, closing his eyes.

Although there was still a burning red tide on his face, his brows were relaxed at this moment and stretched out.

He leaned his head obediently against Heymos’ chest, and all his long golden hair was scattered in Heymos’s arms.

With his fingers, he lightly grasped the clothes on Heimos’ chest.

His cheeks pressed against Huimos’ chest, and the rhythmic heartbeat from there made him feel more at ease and calm than anything else at this moment.
