A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 179. Chapter 179

Things happened too suddenly and ended too quickly. Many people are still in a state of panic.

Especially the inhuman terrifying power that Xinyas suddenly exposed, shocked everyone.

It was a huge boulder the size of a small house, and it was still rumbling down from the hillside, and it was actually blocked by such an underage boy.

It was a miracle.

The entire construction site of the temple was silent at this moment, as if time had stopped.

It’s not just the people on the altar, because the altar is located at the highest point of the temple construction site and everyone can see it. Naturally, everything that happened just now was seen by everyone below.

When they saw the huge rolling stone rushing towards the crown prince, many people screamed and their minds went blank.

If the prince prince died in an accident on the temple construction site, everyone in their presence would be inseparable from the relationship.

Especially the slaves in all construction sites, I am afraid that those who are regarded as ominous will all be put to death as the burial of the crown prince.

Seeing that the crown prince was out of danger, many slaves were scared at this moment, and many people fell on the ground with their legs weakened, their faces pale, and they gasped for breath.

The vast majority of people present at the moment were thankful that the crown prince was safe, but there were also some people in the crowd whose eyes were darkened and their faces were unhappy.

Failed.

The attack that had been planned for so long and clearly failed so far.

Obviously, as long as Prince Garlan died under the rolling stone, everything would be over.

Who knew that the young Irmia City Lord was actually possessed of a rare natural power, and he saved Prince Garlan with only one person.

Those people gritted their teeth secretly with hatred.

Why is Prince Garlan’s luck so good? !

…

After half an hour of silence, the dumbfounded people standing on the lower platform finally reacted, and suddenly rushed up in a panic.

The leading official panicked and ran to the stone steps below Garlan, ignoring the others. He was short and fell directly to his knees, with his forehead tightly attached to the steps, and constantly pleaded guilty to Garlan.

The others knelt down, and the guilty pleas came and went one after another.

They are all supervisors on the construction site. However, this kind of accident happened to the altar that should have been built. They can’t shirk the blame, not to mention that it was the noble Royal Prince who suffered the accident, which is even more unforgivable.

After they asked for the crime, they never dared to speak again, bowed their heads tremblingly, and did not dare to take a mouthful.

Still maintaining the posture of protecting the prince with one hand, the blond knight’s gaze swept across the group of people who were kneeling down below, and his face was very ugly.

He scanned the crowd with extremely sharp eyes, and there was a bit of suspicion inside.

This is by no means an accident.

Kayhus had a calm face and was determined in his heart.

How could there be such a perfect coincidence?

Gallan ignored the group of officials who knelt down and pleaded with him, and left them there, turned his back to them, and looked in the direction of the altar where he was standing just now.

Most of the altar that was still smooth not long ago has been covered by the huge rolling stone and the falling gravel, leaving only the forefront. The beautifully carved pillars that were originally erected around the altar also broke and collapsed. , Some are even shattered, one can imagine how terrifying the impact of the rolling stone is.

“Xinyas.”

Gallan waved to Xinyas.

“Brother…Uh, your Royal Highness.”

The big boy immediately wagged his tail and ran to Garlan happily, looking at Garlan with bright eyes, with a look of praise.

“Give me your hand.”

Gallan stretched out his hand and said to Xinyas.

Without saying anything, Xinyas immediately stretched both hands forward to Garlan’s eyes.

Gallan frowned, as he thought, Xinyas’ palms were full of large or small scratches, and several skins were cut open by sharp stones, and blood was leaking outside. There is still a lot of stone powder and dust sticking to the wound.

He asked: “Does it hurt?”

Xinyas was taken aback.

He didn’t react a bit, because it was the first time he heard someone ask him this kind of question.

The stern priest Shamash would never allow him to cry out for pain, he said, instead he would reprimand him for being too weak.

Although the old female officer and the people who served him respected him and performed their duties, it was even more unlikely that the servants would ask such words.

He reflexively wanted to say that it didn’t hurt at first, but looking at the appearance of Garlan holding his hand, inexplicably, the words slid in his throat.

“……pain.”

He whispered, the voice was very small, and he was a bit embarrassed. After all, under the instruction of the priest, he felt that shouting pain was a cowardly behavior, and it was something that children did, and it was very embarrassing.

But for some reason, even if he was embarrassed, he still wanted to say so in front of his elder brother.

Gallan didn’t notice the embarrassment in Xinyas’s tone. When Xinyas yelled pain, he turned his head to look at Kaihuos.

“Kyjos, help me see if there is any injury to his arm, especially the bones.”

If you use your hand to block the rolling stone that comes down from the collision, it is very likely that you will break your hand.

Kaijos stepped forward and squeezed Shinyas’s arms a few times.

Then he nodded to Garlan.

“Except for those scratches, there is no other problem.”

“That’s good.”

Garlan breathed a sigh of relief.

“Go down first, find a place with water, and help Xinyas clean the wound on his hand first.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

…………

At the beginning, the location of the Solga Temple was selected in the best location, where the mountains and rivers are interspersed, so there is a river with abundant water not far from the construction site.

Xinyas was sitting by the river, and a guard knight with a rough medical skill was helping him to clean the scratches on his palm.

The young man grinned. Although there was a tingling pain in his palm, he was in a good mood because his elder brother had been by his side.

Garlan was standing not far from the river, and Kaihus guarded the surroundings with guards.

Because of the accident just now, the guards became more vigilant. They separated several teams and surrounded Garlan’s side tightly, leaving only a hole for those who had the permission of the crown prince to enter.

Kayhus sent a team of guards to follow the officials here to investigate the collapse of the rolling stone.

Not long after, a knight of the Guards hurried over.

“Master Caijos, a strange trace was found where the rock fell.”

The knight knelt on one knee in front of Cyjos to report to him.

The blonde knight’s eyes were cold.

“The accident was man-made?”

“I’m afraid that’s the case.”

“Have you found any clues?”

“I’m sorry, the subordinates are limited in their ability. They only detect traces of man-made artifacts. No matter how many, they will…”

“understood.”

Kaihus said, turning on his horse, “Take me over and see.”

He rode on the horse and told the knight commander of the guards to protect the crown prince. After all, he had to go up the mountain and it would take some time to go back and forth.

After speaking, he hurriedly left here under the leadership of the knight.

After Kehos left for a while, the official responsible for the construction site hurried over, and the captain of the guard was followed behind him.

Gallan, who had been staying next to Xinyas, got up, said a few words to Xinyas who wanted to follow him, and asked him to stay honestly and continue to heal the wounds, and left the river.

The knight commander who had been entrusted by Kayjos with the important task has been following behind him all the time.

“His Royal Highness, in accordance with your order, the entire construction site has been sealed off.”

The official knelt down and said to Garland.

“I have been searching just now, and the captain of the guard found several people who were wrong, and now they have all been detained.”

As soon as the official finished speaking, the captain of the guard who was also kneeling on the side continued to speak.

“Yes, Your Highness, how do you deal with those suspicious people?”

Gallan pondered for a moment.

“How many people were arrested in total?”

“We have detected three suspicious elements in total, but, Your Highness, among them…”

The captain of the guard was half talking, looked up at Garlan, and stopped talking.

His hesitant expression made Garlan subconsciously take two steps towards him.

“how?”

“No… Actually, one of them is this…”

The captain of the guard hesitated, as if there was something unspeakable, looked at the official next to him with a look of embarrassment, as if he was worried that the official could not say something.

His behavior made the official who was a little surprised by his words suddenly dark.

“His Royal Highness, I did not hide anything from you! Please believe me!”

For fear of being splashed with sewage by the captain of the guard, the officials eagerly spoke to Garland.

“Shamash is on, I would never dare to do such a rebellious thing–”

The officials tried to defend themselves, but because of panic, his voice suddenly rose, and he immediately attracted Garlan’s attention.

And just as Garlan looked at the official, the captain of the guard who was kneeling on the ground with a look of embarrassment suddenly flashed a fierce light in his eyes.

He suddenly violent.

The dagger hidden in the sleeves slid out, flashing a cold light in the darkening sky.

He kicked his legs and rushed forward, showing a hideous look on his face.

The dagger in his hand had already stabbed the prince in front of him fiercely–

Sonorous.

A crisp sound of metal impact.

The tip of the dagger that the captain of the guard stabbed at Garlan slammed into the blade of the dagger that Garlan raised his hand across his chest.

Before he could react, in the next second, the knight commander standing behind Gallan had already struck him with a sword.

The sharp blade tore his chest apart, and blood gushed out.

He fell to the ground and stopped breathing.

The blood flowing from him dyed the sand under him red, and his eyes opened wide.

The knight commander who hacked the captain to death with a sword felt his heart almost stopped at that moment.

Fortunately, the crown prince reacted quickly, and he blocked the sword attacked by the captain of the guard. Otherwise, even if he could kill the guy who assassinated the crown prince immediately, the crown prince would probably be injured.

He looked at the man in the pool of blood and just breathed a sigh of relief when suddenly a certain dangerous feeling came from behind him.

He turned his head abruptly.

A familiar figure rushing here made him suddenly widen his eyes.

That was one of the knights of the guard guarding the prince.

Another knight commander besides him.

The knight commander who was supposed to guard the crown prince rushed like a gust of wind, but the sharp sword in his hand was aimed at the crown prince——

He turned desperately, trying to stand behind the crown prince.

But it was too late.

The other party’s movements were too sudden, and they attacked when everyone’s attention was drawn to the previous assassin.

The swift and violent momentum caught everyone off guard.

Even the crown prince himself turned his back to the man before he could turn around.

Seeing that the long sword in the knight commander’s hand was about to pierce into Garlan’s back, suddenly, a sharp arrow shot from the sloping ground and hit the long sword heavily.

The sword stabbed by the knight commander was slammed into one side, and it slashed across Garlan’s side. A blood hole was cut open on his left arm, and blood splashed into the air.

“Prince!”

Kayjos rushed out of the guards, still holding a bow in his hand.

It was the arrow he shot just now that blocked the sword that pierced Garlan’s heart.

Garlan took a step back abruptly, covering his shoulders, blood dripping from his fingers, quickly staining his fingers blood red.

“I’m fine.”

He said solemnly.

The other guards on the side had rushed up, protecting him round and round.

“Master Caijos? How could you—”

Seeing Kaihus, who was hiding in the guards in an ordinary guard costume, the knight commander was shocked, and immediately realized it again.

“This is the trap you set…”

Before he could finish his words, Kaihus dropped the bow in his hand and drew the long sword at his waist.

Slash with a heavy sword.

The knight in the scorching sun shot with great anger, and forcibly split the sword in the knight commander’s hand into two pieces, and even cut a big hole in the knight commander’s chest.

If it weren’t for keeping alive and controlling the strength in his hands, Kayhus’s sword might be able to directly split the chest of the knight commander.

He kicked immediately, kicking the knight commander to the ground heavily.

Then he made another heavy kick, and with a click, he directly broke the man’s hand bone.

“Prince, your injury…”

Turning around and walking quickly to Garlan’s side, Kaihus looked at the wound on Garlan’s arm with lingering fear.

Yes, this is what he discussed with Garlan.

He felt that the matter of Rolling Stone must be someone secretly making a ghost, and the person must still be on the construction site, and there may be follow-up actions.

In order to pull out the black hand behind the scenes, Kaihuos deliberately pretended to leave, in fact, after a circle, under the cover of his confidant subordinates, he changed his costume back and hid in the guards.

Sure enough, in order to achieve the purpose of assassinating Garlan, the captain of the guard jumped out directly.

What Kaihuos and Garland didn’t expect was that the captain of the guard was just a bait that attracted everyone’s attention. The real assassin was hiding in the guards guarding the prince. Knight Commander.

This is really incredible.

“Brother!”

Xinyas had rushed over, watching Garlan’s arm hurt and jumped anxiously.

“You are hurt!”

“Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

“How could it be okay, so much blood shed—”

“Is there a doctor here? Call a doctor right away!”

“Get the medicine right away!”

After a long period of turmoil, he finally settled down.

The sky was completely dark, and torches were lit on the dark construction site.

The wound on Garlan’s left arm has been tightly bandaged, and the bright red smudged by the snow-white bandage is very conspicuous in the flames.

In a clearing, Garlan stood, watching the knight commander who was kneeling in front of him.

The knight commander was tied up with five flowers and knelt in front of Gallan.

With his arms tied behind his back, the hand that was stepped on by Kayjos showed an abnormal bending angle.

The clothes on his chest were cut open and spread out embarrassingly, the shallow scars on his chest were still bleeding.

Slightly long black foreheads scattered messily from his cheeks, the light of fire reflected on his face, and the skin glowed with dark brown.

“Noli, you, as a knight of the Guards, are deeply favored by the royal family. Why do you betray the royal family?”

The other knight commander shouted angrily.

He still couldn’t believe that his colleague, who was supposed to be the most loyal guard knight to the royal family, did such a rebellious act.

The brown-skinned knight commander looked up, and he smiled.

“I am loyal to the royal family of Aaron Landis and never betrayed.”

“Loyal? You are trying to assassinate His Royal Highness!”

“This is exactly what I am loyal!”

The knight commander sneered.

Although he was kneeling on the ground, his clothes messy and looked embarrassed, he raised his head and his chest was arrogant.

He was proud of his behavior from the bottom of his heart.

“The throne of Aaron Landis, how noble it is.”

“That is the throne that only the blood of the gods, the sons of the gods are qualified to sit on.”

“The prince of low blood is not qualified to be our king, not qualified to be the ruler of Aaron Landis!”

Kaihuos’s face sank, his eyes became cold, and his sword pointed at the opponent’s throat.

“presumptuous!”

The knight commander held his head high, and although he was kneeling on the ground, he was proud of his attitude, and his face was unwilling to hesitate.

Even under the sharp sword, there is no fear on his face.

Before deciding to do this, he knew how he would end up.

He is not afraid of death.

“Only people with the most noble blood are qualified to sit on the sacred throne and become the king of Aaron Landis.”

All he did was to protect the nobility of the heir to the throne.

He is the most loyal knight of the royal family of Aaron Landis.

He is a martyr who truly guards the honor of the throne.

Death is his glory.

“We do not allow the lower blood to defile the sacred throne.”

The knight commander raised his head and stared straight at Garlan, who was standing in front of him.

The sound from his throat was like a low growl from the deepest part of his body.

“We… will never let a prince with a low bloodline become the king of Aaron Landis!”

As soon as the last word fell, he suddenly leaped forward and dashed forward.

With a loud bang, he slammed his head against the stone pillar.

Blood splattered and brains burst.

The blood splattered and dyed the corners of Garlan’s clothes standing aside.

In the flames of the night, there was a dead silence.
