A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 151. Chapter 151

The two of them trudged hard along the way. The mountain road was not easy to walk, but now it is full of potholes and fallen trees. Besides, they are still carrying a tall aristocratic man. The speed can’t be slow, even when they take a break. No, then the chasing soldiers will catch up.

It is Shuluos who is in good health and is exhausted enough this time.

Ah~~ This feeling of officers and soldiers chasing after him is really exciting. He doesn’t know how long he hasn’t experienced this kind of accelerated heartbeat.

He was thinking about it with pleasure in his heart.

After a lot of effort, the two finally climbed up to the location of the waterfall out of breath.

The bard who has always paid great attention to his handsome appearance can no longer care about his own image at this moment. He throws the noble man on his shoulders to the ground, and then sits on the ground with his hands on the ground, raising his head and panting. Get angry.

The nobleman who was thrown on the ground let out a groan, and then woke up leisurely.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the unfamiliar people and the environment. He first looked around in confusion, and then the memory slowly returned to his mind.

There was anger on his face, but, full of anger, he managed to keep the dignity of a nobleman. He did not yell, but just stood up, showing that he tidied up his messy clothes, and then , His eyes swept coldly across Garlan and Shuros who was sitting.

“Humble people, I will never forgive you.”

He said coldly.

As soon as the words fell silent, suddenly the long sword stretched out, and the tip of the sword touched his chest, making him instantly froze.

“I don’t know whether to forgive or not. What I know is that your noble life is now in the hands of a lowly man like me.”

Shuluos, who was still sitting on the ground, put his sword against the chest of the noble man at will and raised his eyebrows.

“How dare you treat me—”

The chest of the noble man was violently heaving with anger.

Shuros slanted the unbelievable nobleman lazily.

“Okay, you won’t let us go anyway. Now if you let you go, you will die. If you add to the crime, you will die. It’s okay. So the noble master, do you understand the current situation?”

The aristocratic man’s face changed several times. At first, he was dazzled by the anger and quickly calmed down. After scanning the current situation, he suddenly changed his tone.

“As long as you release me now and escort me home, I will consider forgiving you for offending me.”

“Tsk tusk,’will consider’, so you nobles like to use such specious words to fool people.”

The man’s eyes fell, knowing that the bard in front of him was not a deceiver, he hesitated for a moment, still felt that his safety was more important.

He said in a deep voice, “Well, I can swear, as long as you send me back safely, I can bear the blame.”

Shuros smiled and wanted to tease the nobleman, and Garlan, who was standing next to him, suddenly spoke.

“The chaser is here, go.”

Shuluos smiled, stopped talking to the noble man, stood up, unceremoniously stretched out his hand and directly dragged the man to continue walking forward.

“How dare you–you humble commoner, dare to be so presumptuous to me–”

The nobleman who had been forcibly enduring was treated this way for the first time. He consciously suffered a huge insult and was trembling with anger, but he couldn’t get rid of Shuros’s hand and could only be dragged away in embarrassment.

“You will regret it!”

No one took care of his threats. Shuluos was already dead pigs and was not afraid of boiling water. They were all done to this point. It was a capital offense on both sides. Could this nobleman let him go because he was coaxing and holding him now?

There was the sound of rumbling water, and the group finally reached their destination.

The angry aristocratic man opened his mouth and wanted to talk, but he was taken aback when he saw what the waterfall looked like now. He reacted quickly, and after a few seconds of being stunned, he immediately turned his head and looked at the visible city of Tweeul at the foot of the mountain, with an extremely ugly look on his face suddenly.

And those city gate guards and soldiers who had finally caught up with them were gasping for breath while screaming for Garlan and the others to let go of the hostages. At this moment, they were all shocked when they saw the blocked waterfall. shocked.

The soldiers who were not quick enough to react were startled, and continued to shout at Garlan and the others, but some of the brains turned fast, such as the city gate chief, his face had turned from white to blue, and the corners of his eyes were twitching.

If these piles of rocks and mud are washed down by the massive flood that will be blocked by then…

Just imagine, he feels that his heart is about to stop beating.

[The waterfalls in the Twyllul Mountains are blocked by rocks that were shaken by the ground, and flash floods will soon erupt—-]

The city gate guard subconsciously cast his gaze on the blond boy who had yelled these words at him.

The young man stood on the rock above and looked down at him with a calm expression. He was clearly dressed in crude civilian clothes, but for some reason it was a great pressure on him, as if he was looking down at him condescendingly.

The city gate chief felt a bit out of breath for a while.

If this young man didn’t do anything to kidnap the nobles…

If he hadn’t been forced to save people and had to chase him…

When the flood hits, no one in Twyllur City can escape. No matter rich or poor, everyone will be submerged in mudslides, and there will be no dead bodies.

Including himself.

The aristocratic man was obviously still immersed in the terrible consequences he had imagined, and he didn’t say a word for a while.

He was looking at the waterfall in a daze, and he was slapped by someone on his shoulder. The boy who patted him said: “Sorry, in order to let you see, so I can only borrow you a little bit.”

After the boy finished speaking, he pushed the noble man to the city gate chief.

“Don’t be stunned, go and report to City Lord Kanile.”

The boy’s loud shout made the city gate guard awaken suddenly. He didn’t even have time to answer the boy’s words. After ordering a few henchmen to stare at the waterfall here, and immediately lighting a bonfire when there was danger, he turned around and brought it with him. The remaining people hurried back.

The aristocratic man couldn’t even bother to teach the two abductors now, and ran down hurriedly. You know, this blocked waterfall collapsed when it wasn’t good, and his family and relatives were all in the city!

Seeing their leaving backs, Garlan and Shuros looked at each other, and both saw a little relief on each other’s faces.

Shuluos sat on the ground, calming his breathing.

As soon as the nerves that had been tense since the abduction of the nobleman loosened, he felt that the strength of his whole body was gone.

Gallan, who was also too tired, sat down next to Shuros, put his head on his knees, and took a rest to regain his strength.

He didn’t notice that in the shadow of the jungle not far away, a pair of eyes were watching him deeply and quietly.

After resting for several hours, someone came.

What Garland didn’t expect was that the Lord Kanile of Tweeul City had actually come up the mountain himself.

At this moment, he was already standing opposite Garlan.

It was a tall and burly man with white sideburns on both sides. But his body was strong, his arms were sturdy and powerful, and he didn’t have any fat on his body. He couldn’t tell that he was an old man who was already fifty years old.

The city lord walked with swift steps. He climbed a mountain without showing a tired look, and his back was straight, like a pine tree. At first glance, he was born in a soldier, and he still holds a soldier now. Demeanor.

There are not many wrinkles on his face, only the deep brows, which should be related to his stern face and laughter all the year round.

At this moment, he glanced at the blocked waterfall in the distance and frowned deeply.

Then, his gaze swept around Garlan and Shuros, and finally fell on Garlan.

City Lord Karenni stared at Garlan, his eyes were sharp, like an eagle, and his brows were even more frowning.

Gallan stared at him, her eyes calm, and her expression calm and calm.

The city lord stared at Garlan for a long time, didn’t say anything, and looked away.

He turned around and ordered something loudly to the people behind him. His voice was very loud and loud.

Soon, he led everyone to climb to the top of the waterfall. After looking around, he made a decision after discussing with several staff members next to him. He is used to acting vigorously and vigorously, and the group of soldiers he brought has already moved quickly under his command.

“They are digging a trench.”

Shuluos, who had been forgotten by the city lord and a group of people, bumped Garlan’s shoulder and whispered.

Under the command of the staff, the soldiers separated to different places and quickly began to dig the ground.

Looking at the lot assigned by each team, it can be seen that they want to dig through the lot from the waterfall to an oblique rift in the distance, and lead the accumulated water to the rift there to flow down.

In this way, even if the water washed down, there may be small flash floods, but it will not directly face the city of Twyllul. There seems to be only a few scattered small villages on that side, as long as the people inside are evacuated. .

“That’s boring.”

Shuros shook his head and said, “That rift is a bit far from here. The ground is hard and there are rocks underneath. It takes at least three days and three nights to dig it down. I don’t know where it’s blocked. How long can it last?”

However, shortly after the bard finished speaking, he wisely retracted this sentence.

I saw a steady stream of people climbing up the mountain. Except for the soldiers, most of them were civilians. They carried their hoes and axes, and just climbed up like this.

Then, under the orderly arrangement of the subordinates of the city lord, the countless civilian team joined the large team of digging pits.

For a time, the usually inaccessible mountains were crowded with people. In order to protect their homes, everyone was digging hard and desperately. When they were tired and slow, they changed shifts and rested.

As there are more people, the speed of digging increases several times, and these civilians who are used to rough work dig trenches much faster than soldiers.

“This doesn’t take three days, right?”

“Uh, it shouldn’t take that long…”

Gallan resisted a smile, and slapped Shuros on the back hard.

“Come, let’s help too.”

“Gal, let me tell you, I am a bard, and the hands that the goddess Aphrodome gave me are used to play wonderful music, not for this kind of rough work!”

“Occasionally, let your hands experience things other than playing the piano, wouldn’t it inspire your creative inspiration?”

“…It seems…that makes sense.”

“Then go.”

“Only for a while, only experience for a while.”

“Well, just a moment.”

The young man coaxed the bard into the workforce with a smile.

…………

On the rock above the waterfall, the city master of Karenni with white temples stood there, looking down at the trench that was being dug not far away.

There, the blond boy was among the civilians, transporting the broken stones in the trench with everyone, making it all mud and looking dirty.

There was a bit of displeasure in his eyes.

A middle-aged man stood behind Karenni, his most trusted confidant, and his eyes also fell on the boy.

The old city main board looked at it for a long time, but his face was not so good.

“Indecent.”

He snorted heavily.

He has a noble status, but he mingled with those inferior people, and he did the dirty and tiring rough work by himself.

Kareni was really an eyesore watching that scene. He stared at Garlan, his whole body exuding unpleasant aura.

Although his personality was old-fashioned, his temper was stinky and stubborn, like a stone, but his eyes were sharp. Although he had only seen it many years ago, he recognized the Prince Garland at the first glance.

However, even though he looked like he was humming, he didn’t mean to come forward to take Gallan out.

The middle-aged staff who stood behind him and understood his character suddenly laughed, and quickly held back, otherwise the city lord would be miserable when he looked back and saw him smiling.

City Lord Karenni was silent for a while, and he suddenly said, “Did that letter go to King Kamos?”

The middle-aged man felt a little throb in his heart.

He said: “Not yet, my lord, because of the earth’s movement, I can’t take care of it for a while, so…”

“Okay, don’t make any excuses, I know you are deliberately dragging it away.”

Lord Kaleni waved his hand impatiently.

He paused, and suddenly said, “Burn it.”

“grown ups?”

The middle-aged man knew that because Lord Karenni had been on the battlefield for a long time before, the adults had always been more inclined to the heroic Heymos, and felt that the powerful man was more suitable to become the crown prince.

In the past, the Lord Karenni followed the king to fight in the south and the north. It can be said that he watched King Kamos grow up. Back then, he had to leave the army to save the king and was seriously injured, so King Kamos has always respected him. .

This time he received news that King Camos planned to make Garlan the crown prince, so he wrote a letter to oppose it.

“King Camos is not young anymore. He has been a king for so many years. He knows what he should and shouldn’t do,” said Kaleni. To interfere with things that you shouldn’t interfere is to rely on the old to sell your old. I am just a courtier of your majesty, and I must be careful.”

After speaking so hard, he just turned and left.

Seeing the city lord’s back, the middle-aged staff suddenly sighed with relief. He had long persuaded the city lord not to participate in the affairs of the crown prince. King Camos was very wise and acted appropriately, and the status of the city lord was already high enough to participate in this. Not only is it not good, but it also causes trouble for the upper body.

Someone deliberately instigated it and caused the city lord to have a prejudice against Prince Garland. Therefore, as soon as he heard the news that Prince Garland was about to be established as the crown prince, he resolutely wrote to oppose it.

He and other colleagues tried to persuade him for a long time, but the city lord was getting older, and when he got older and more stubborn, he would not listen to any advice. No way, he could only reluctantly drag the letter to Wangcheng without sending anyone, but he knew that it wouldn’t be too long, and he was anxious to get angry.

It’s all right now, it seems that the city owner wants to understand it himself.

The middle-aged man turned his head and looked at the young prince not far away.

Probably tired of moving rocks, the boy is sitting cross-legged on a flat ground to rest.

He was covered in mud, his face was dusty, and it looked dusty.

He sat among the group of civilians, talking and laughing with everyone, and then, taking the rough wheat cake that a woman handed him, he bit it down, and ate it with a bright smile.

His face was obviously dirty and gray, but for some reason, the smile seemed to be shining, so bright that people couldn’t help but let their eyes fall on him.

What a strange prince.

The middle-aged staff thought.

However, it is also very powerful to make the stubborn Master Karenni change his decision.

…………

In the distance, Gallan, who didn’t know someone was watching him, was trying to swallow the rough wheat cake, and didn’t know that he had personally removed another obstacle to him becoming a prince.

Always trying to pit his little prince.
