A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 39. Chapter 39

Aaron Landis is the kingdom of the gods, and here is the land that the gods bestowed on their people.

The Aaron Landis people living on this land have been hardworking, brave, and full of wisdom since ancient times. They built their kingdom with their own hands.

They are loyal and at the same time daring to resist.

They were loyal to the gods who gave them everything, but they also dared to resist the nobles who oppressed them and even the priests in the name of God|.

However, for the Aaron Landis people, there is only one person who is absolutely not offensive.

King Aaron Landis.

It was the descendant of the gods, inherited the blood of the gods, and replaced the gods as the king who ruled the land of Aaron Landis.

King Aaron Landis, is the incarnation of the gods descending to the world.

He is the supreme being.

He is the existence of the wholehearted belief that all the people of Aaron Landis are willing to dedicate their lives and souls.

In particular, the current King Aaron Landis, Camos, is regarded as a living god, and has an incomparably lofty reputation in everyone’s hearts.

“Who gave you the courage to point the prince of Aaron Landis with an arrow?!”

A childish but unusually clear voice sounded in the silent night.

The phrase’Prince of Aaron Landis’ was clearly heard by everyone present.

Everything in the world seemed to pause for a second at this moment. Everyone looked at Garlan in astonishment, with an incredible expression on his face.

And after that pause for a second, with a buzzing sound, the originally terribly quiet place suddenly exploded.

“Prince……?”

“impossible!”

“How could the prince come to such a place—”

“It must be a lie!”

“But the kid doesn’t seem to be lying…”

“Are we attacking the prince?”

“Then we are treason?”

“Do not……”

…

“Quiet!”

The flustered voice was suppressed by a sudden loud shout, and it was the middle-aged man who spoke.

Compared with other refugees who are panicking, he has a lot of composure. At this moment, he looked at the blond child standing in front of him. The child stretched out his hand and pointed his finger at the sharp arrow in his hand.

Obviously, just under the point of his arrow, there was no fear on that little face, but an indescribable solemnity.

A small body with injuries, but bravely standing in front of thousands of rioting refugees, under countless bows and arrows.

And the gaze that stared at him calmly made the blond child look nothing like an ordinary child.

The child has bright golden eyes.

And what makes the middle-aged man most strange is that when he was stared at by those golden eyes, his brain, which had been disturbed by hatred since yesterday, suddenly became cold, and there was the kind of restlessness in his body. It felt like it was about to explode, the kind of pain that can only be alleviated through revenge. At this moment, when the child’s golden eyes saw him, his whole person seemed to have been poured cold water on his face, and he was a little awake from the flames of hatred. .

The man didn’t know that when he met Gallan’s eyes, the pale black mist that was almost invisible to ordinary people entwined in the depths of his pupils seemed to be suppressed by something, and dissipated a little bit.

He only knew that, suddenly, he was a little more calm and a little more sober.

So, he used the extra point to calmly start thinking.

He is now facing the arrow… is the prince of Aaron Landis?

“Prince?”

The man asked loudly, he still didn’t put down the bow and arrow in his hand.

“How could the prince come to this place? Do you think you can save your life by deceiving us in this way?” He said, “Do you have evidence to prove that you are a prince? If not, why should we believe you!”

The man’s series of questions immediately awakened those who subconsciously believed and panicked after hearing Garlan’s words. Many people even put down their bows and arrows facing Garlan in a panic.

However, when the man said so, they also reacted. Looking at their unwavering leader, they subconsciously followed the leader, once again raising their bows and arrows to aim forward.

Gallan put down his hand and smiled at the countless arrow tips that flashed in the cold light.

He looked very calm, as if he was not worried that these people would really hurt him.

“Do you think that in the land of Aaron Landis, in this land where the gods are watching all the time, anyone would dare to pretend to be the descendants of the gods?”

“…”

Looking at the silent man, Gallan continued to speak.

“If you don’t believe it, do it.”

He said, “But, are you, and the people behind you, ready to bear the consequences of letting the blood inherited from the gods flow on this land?”

Many people’s hands suddenly shook.

They are not afraid of death, nor are they afraid of the dignitaries and armies who oppress them. But the devotion of the people of Aaron Landis to the gods is a deep-seated belief.

They are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that after death, their sinful souls will be thrown into hell, tortured, and never allowed to live beyond life. Also, they are not the only ones who bear the wrath of the gods, but their children and grandchildren.

Everyone was silent at this moment, even the leading man was silent, without the aggressive aura that he had when he first questioned.

Seeing the hesitation on the faces of those people, Gallan was relieved. It seems that it is very useful for the fox to fake the tiger’s might and deter these civilians under the banner of the gods.

In my heart, I casually thanked the so-called gods that he had always had an opinion on, and then threw them into his mind. Gallan’s mind was moving fast at this moment.

Now, these refugees who are in the passion of the riot seem to have begun to calm down. For this kind of riot, they are afraid of the blood rush. Now, the leader seems to have recovered a little reason.

It’s good to be sensible, he thought, as long as he is sensible, he can negotiate.

“I know that you are all the people who have been miserably harmed by the nobles and nobles, so don’t believe them…”

Gallan pointed to Xiemur and others behind him, and continued, “It is understandable.”

He said, “Then answer me, people of Aaron Landis, do you believe in your king, my king brother Camos?”

When the name Camos was spoken, the refugees suddenly caused a commotion.

Almost the faces of the vast majority of refugees have a look of awe. There are even some old people and women who have already held hands in front of them, lowered their eyes and began to whisper the hymn that praised King Camos that has spread throughout the kingdom. .

When Aaron Landis was about to perish, the king who had turned the tide on his own and guarded all his people, had supreme authority in the hearts of Aaron Landis’s people.

Everyone firmly believes that King Camos is the incarnation of God.

They believe in King Camos, just as they believe in gods.

They believed that by chanting this hymn, King Camos would be able to guard them.

Even the leading middle-aged man showed awe on his face. He said, “King Camos, there is no doubt.”

Gallan nodded.

“As the priest said, Brother Camos already knew about the embezzlement of relief supplies and the persecution of civilians by officials in the city of Vernal, so he sent me here to investigate the matter.”

He looked directly at each other and said sternly.

“That’s why I am here as a prince.”

When he said this, someone suddenly shouted in the crowd.

“No! The first king has only one child, and King Camos has no brother at all. You are lying to us!”

With such a shout, many refugees who were put under control by the banners of the gods and King Kamos also reacted, and immediately countless suspicious eyes were cast over.

Yes, the ancestors only had a descendant of Camos. They had never heard of King Camos as having a younger brother, and they never knew that there was actually a younger brother in this country.

Seeing that the refugees who had finally calmed down a little bit became commotion again, Xiemuer, who had been watching everything silently behind him, shouted in a deep voice.

“King Camos gave the king’s order to the whole country more than a month ago, telling all his people to choose an outstanding descendant from the bloodline of the royal family to become his brother! Didn’t you get the city of Winar? Is it up to this edict?”

“You are talking nonsense.”

“We haven’t heard of it.”

“Yes!”

“How can this matter…”

There was a mess of denial from the refugees, but it was quickly stopped.

“No, they are right.”

The man who was the leader of the refugees raised his hand and stopped the riots behind him.

He looked complicated and said: “There is indeed this incident. I saw this edict in other cities at the time, but at that time, our Wiener city happened to be flooded, so this edict did not affect us. Spread here…”

He looked at Garlan.

In his eyes, Garlan did not look like an ordinary child at all.

No… It should be said that the child who confronted him calmly at this moment is not like a child at all.

…………

… Is this really a prince?

The man hesitated, then said, “If you…”

After a pause, he changed his name.

“If you are really a prince, then why do you want to take all those children away?”

These people from the royal city used cavalry to take away a group of children. This is something someone has seen with their own eyes.

“This question, my priest has already answered you.”

Gallan said, “We didn’t take the children, but rescued them from the teaching of all things, and then escorted them back to the city of Vynar.”

“As long as you return to the city, you can see them.”

“… But you don’t have any evidence to prove that what you said is the truth.”

After saying this, the man didn’t speak any more, he was hesitating, wondering whether he should believe the child who claimed to be a prince in front of him.

Even if this child has a strong presence, it may be just the child of a nobleman, using this excuse to delay time, and then mobilize the army to encircle them.

He hesitated.

If he is the only one, the big deal will be his own life. However, behind him are countless people who believe in him and follow him, and his judgment will determine the fate of these people.

Therefore, he still maintained the posture of raising the arrow, unable to make a judgment for a long time.

But the man hesitated, and other people naturally focused on him, waiting for his decision.

When everyone was in a stalemate, a loud voice of a child rang in the dark night, breaking the dullness at the moment.

“I can prove it!”

A girl pushed aside the crowd, got out of it, and stood in front of them.

There was dust on her face and body, and her whole person looked embarrassed, probably because she was rushing towards her, standing still panting violently.

After taking a few breaths, she glanced at Garlan with a complicated look, and then turned to look at the middle-aged man.

“Kerry?!”

The man was startled, and then he was delighted.

“Why are you here? I heard that both you and your father have already—”

“Second Uncle.”

The little girl with the flaxen ponytail called the man and said loudly in front of everyone.

“I can testify for him-he is the one who saved those children!”

She said cautiously, “The Sect of All Things is in the valley. The thieves have taken many children into the valley. It was he who saved me, saved those children, and also saved grandpa.”

“Father…”

The man was startled, then he saw an old man walk in from the crowd.

“Father!” the man yelled.

The old man ignored him and stood there, looking at Garlan deeply.

“Golden eyes…”

He seemed to be mumbling to himself.

“Inheriting the proof of the blood of the gods… the characteristics of the royal family… I even forgot this.”

He raised his hand and slapped his son hard.

“Let down the arrow!”

The old man said sharply, his slap was merciless, and his son’s face was immediately flushed and swollen.

Then, the old man took two steps forward, stood in front of Garlan, and bowed his head deeply.

“His Royal Highness, please forgive my son’s disrespect.”

There was deep grief in the old man’s voice.

“He did this terrible thing after losing his wife and children. Please forgive him.”

Kerry stood by and supported her grandfather, still panting hastily.

That night, Gal led away the group of people. She and Grandpa didn’t dare to move and hid in the forest for a whole day. After making sure that no one was looking for them, they struggled out of the valley and returned to the town.

The two of them, an old man and a child, were originally weak in physical strength. When they reached the town, it was already late at night.

Unexpectedly, the town of Ayer was panicked in the middle of the night. She heard from familiar townspeople that her second uncle had attacked the town with refugees and was now attacking the nobles from the royal city, so she came over with her grandfather in a panic.

did not expect……

The little girl looked at the blond kid standing opposite.

Unexpectedly, this child who was regarded as her younger brother was actually the prince of Aaron Landis.

…………

…No, anyway, no matter who Garr is, he is still alive and not dead, so she is already very happy.

Gallan was also very surprised. He didn’t expect that the little girl and old man he saved back then were actually relatives of the leader.

Does this count as kindness and reward?

To the old man’s bowing and apologizing, he did not immediately answer, but raised his head and cast his eyes on the leader.

The man was slapped by the old man, the bow and arrow in his hand had already been put down, and the bows and arrows of the others behind him had also been put down.

The old man saw that Garlan didn’t answer, but when Garlan looked at his son, he suddenly understood.

He turned around and said loudly to his son: “Jia, don’t take everyone back!”

The man named Gia was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

“No, I can’t do this.”

“Gia–!”

“No, father, if it’s just my life, I’ll do what you say. But now I’m leading thousands of people who trust me to entrust their lives to me. If I retreat like this, wait. Ours is probably the encirclement and death of the army.”

Gea said in a deep voice, turning his gaze to Garlan.

“We must get a result! An explanation!”

He stepped forward.

“If you really are the prince of Aaron Landis, then please be here, under the witness of the gods of Aaron Landis, and listen to the voice of my waiting—”

Gallan looked at the man’s eyes, and the man’s eyes looked at him scorchingly, with a mortal determination.

He nodded.

“Good.” He said, “Under the witness of the gods, I am willing to listen to your requests.”

After speaking, Garlan was about to walk forward, but suddenly she was grabbed by Xiemur behind him.

“Don’t mess around!”

Xiemuer whispered, “This is not something you should do, I will negotiate with them.”

Garlan looked at Xiemur and tilted her head slightly.

He said, “You can’t.”

He looked at Sheemur calmly and said, “Do you know the reason why you failed to negotiate with them for the first time?”

“what?”

“Xiemu’er, as an aristocrat and self-esteem, you don’t know what these refugees really want.”

Gallan pulled his hand out from Xiemuer, and smiled lightly at Xiemuer.

“So I said, you can’t.”

He said, “You’re on it, and the talk is broken, we all have to die.”

“…”

In the silence of the priest Shamash, Garlan turned and walked forward.

…………

……………………

Well, he successfully caught Xiemuer.

Well, it feels so awkward that Xie Muer has nothing to say.

At this moment, the little prince who walked towards the mob with a calm and calm look in front of the crowd was in good physical and mental comfort.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

proceed if you can–

Well, Xiemuer can’t do it, so the little prince can only get on it.
