A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

Garlan's current destination is Ayr Town, in the mansion of a wealthy businessman. Because the valley where the destroyed altar of the Cult of All Things was located was slightly closer to this town, King Camos temporarily settled in this small town after destroying the cult.

In this way, the believers in Vinar City will not be alerted. After interrogating the lives of several believers, King Camos learned that the All Things Cult had secretly colluded with some powerful people in Vinar City, and had already allowed some followers of the All Things Religion to hide in the city and operate secretly. The most important thing is that the believers hiding in the city will respond to the fanatic believers who were secretly brought into the city by the city's dignitaries on the next night, pretending to be thieves or refugee riots to attack the city, and directly rob the children in the city.

Regarding this confession, King Camos sneered and said nothing, but everyone could feel the anger in him that could almost burn the air.

Therefore, King Camos was busy all day yesterday secretly transferring his cavalry to the city of Vinar, lying in ambush outside, monitoring the movements in the city, or breaking them into pieces and sneaking into the city to wait for orders.

Although it was easy to lead the cavalry directly into the city of Vernal and crush the group of garbage, this would only kill the pests on the surface. What he wanted to do was to remove the pests that were lurking deep in the city of Vernar. Catch all the silverfish in one swoop.

The more than thirty children rescued from the cult altar were temporarily kept in one place to avoid exposure. After further questioning, it was discovered that almost all of these children were from Vinal City, so Camos decided to take them all back when he went to Vinal City today. After everything is over, arrange for the children to go home.

Now, most of the cavalry under Kamos are already on standby near the city of Vinal, and Kamos had already made preparations early this morning and planned to set off with the remaining cavalry to go Vinal City, prepare for the battle in the evening.

However, the doctor invited from the local area said that Gallan's wounds were not suitable for movement, otherwise the wounds on his hands and feet would probably split. Therefore, Garlan could only stay in the town of Ayr to continue to recover from his injuries. King Camos left five cavalrymen to protect him in the town.

Originally, Heimos offered to stay and take care of Garlan, but he was beaten back by Shemuel.

"Prince Heimos, although your martial arts skills are beyond ordinary people, you still need more training on the battlefield. Therefore, please follow King Kamos to Vinar City. This is also to allow you to obtain more meritorious deeds. .”

The priests of Shamash have always been synonymous with integrity, toughness, and stubbornness. Once they make a judgment or make a decision, they will stick to it.

Now that he has decided to keep the distance between the two princes as much as possible, Shermer will always pay attention to this.

"As for Prince Gallan, I will stay in Ayr Town to take care of him, so you two don't need to worry."

"OK."

King Camos, who was originally worried that there would be no one to take care of Gallan and hesitated to let Heimos stay, immediately agreed when he heard Shemuel's request to stay.

"That's it, Shemur, you stay here to take care of Garlan." He said, "Heimos follow me to Vinar City."

Heimos pondered for a moment, remembering what Shermer said just now, that he needed more training on the battlefield to become stronger, so he nodded obediently.

He secretly made up his mind yesterday that he must become stronger as soon as possible and become stronger than King Camos.

Before setting off, King Camos took Heimos to visit Garlan and say goodbye.

"Brother Wang, are you going to Vinal City now?"

"Don't worry, the matter will be completely resolved tonight. In two days, when Vinar City has completely settled down and your injuries have recovered, I will pick you up again."

"Okay, Brother Wang."

The little prince sitting on the bed nodded obediently and answered.

He thought in his mind that by the time he returned to Vinar City, the war should be over and King Camos would be able to control Vinar City. Then, when the time comes, he can tell Brother Wang that dead bodies cannot be discarded in water sources at will, and ask Brother Wang to organize people to dispose of those corpses.

However, it has always been a common practice to do things that can easily lead to plague. People here still don't understand the infection of germs, so he has to come up with a good reason to convince Brother Wang.

Garlan was still thinking about this when he suddenly heard King Camos speaking again.

"Garlan, I'm leaving."

Seeing that Garlan had no reaction or expression, Kamos once again emphasized his tone.

"Brother Wang is really leaving -"

Look, I'm about to leave, why don't you say anything?

Kamos' repeated and aggravated tone brought Garlan out of his thoughts. When Garlan raised his eyes, he saw his brother Wang standing in front of his bed, looking at him longingly.

Such a big man, such a strong man, but the eyes that looked at him eagerly were like a big pet begging for a hug and a pet, which reminded Garlan subconsciously of the little girl left in the royal city. Lionega. Although their sizes were different, the eyes that looked at them eagerly were exactly the same.

Ah, speaking of it, I have been away for so long, and I don’t know how Nega is doing now. I haven’t looked for it anymore. Is it because I am losing my temper and refusing to eat?

...Well, whatever, you will always eat when you are very hungry.

Garlan raised his head, his eyes curved like the curve of a crescent moon.

"You are invincible, brother Wang."

The little prince's bright smile and his clear, soft voice rang in the room, like a priest's prayer.

"No matter when and where you are, you will embrace victory."

Ouch ouch ouch——

The big lion's fur was stroked and his combat power was maxed out instantly.

King Camos lowered his head happily, hugged Garlan, and rubbed his little brother's soft face happily, feeling that his whole body was full of strength.

Ouch! I can hit twenty of them now!

The Lion King, whose fighting power had exploded, left contentedly and proudly.

Garlan was smiling and waving goodbye to Brother Camos when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

When he turned around, he found that Brother Wang was gone, but Heimos was still here. He didn't say anything, just stood, staring at Garlan with a pair of golden-red eyes.

Garlan felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, and didn't know what he wanted to do, so he could only look back at Heimos with a puzzled look on his face.

Heimos stood silently for a while, and when Gallan didn't respond, he spoke.

"I also need to go."

Garlan: "Huh?"

I knew you were going, I just said it, why did you say it again?

Heimos said quietly again: "I am the same, I want to go to the battlefield."

"…………"

Finally feeling the anticipation in Heymos' eyes staring at him, Gallan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Heymos seems to be, may be, seems to be, should be... He wants to say to him what he just said to King Camos.

No.

How could he say that.

Forget it, Brother Wang, Heimos is an enemy and has killed him many times. How could he bless a person who has killed him so many times?

Impossible, impossible in this life.

Seeing Garlan purse his lips and look at him without saying a word, the look of expectation in the young man's eyes dimmed. He stood there like a black wolf with its ears twitching down. Even the tail behind him that seemed to be shaking constantly hung down, looking listless.

…There is always a feeling that one’s conscience is being tortured.

Looking at the pitiful look of the languid wolf, Garlan was very confused.

You are the big devil in the future. What's with this abandoned look in your eyes now?

…

…………

Okay, okay, I'm scared of you.

"Then... you have to be careful, don't be so frightened that you fall off your horse."

Although in the end he was no match for the foul look in Heymos's eyes, Garlan compromised, but he still couldn't help but arrogantly mixed some curse elements into it.

But the cursed person didn't care, or didn't hear it at all. When he said this, Heimos's eyes lit up instantly. The young man looked at him, his eyes bright and even slightly bent.

Then, Heimos said good, smiled and touched his head, and then turned around and left with satisfaction.

So, a lion and a wolf that were shaved happily ran towards the battlefield.

The little prince who was left alone was thinking hard about the reasons why he would remind his brother to dispose of the corpses in the water in a few days, while he continued to think hard about how to abolish his identity as the king's brother... Oh, no, not alone. , Xie Muer also stayed and was responsible for taking care of him.

Therefore, Garlan soon had no time to think about those two difficult questions.

Because the priest who was said to be taking care of his Shamash came in with a book, sat beside his bed and opened the book.

Although your hands and feet are injured, your brain can still be used.

For this reason, Shermer began to teach him one-on-one.

Previously, it took Garlan a full month to make Shermuer completely disappointed in him. But now, Shermer has returned to his original energetic state, mustering up all his energy to carve out this piece of waste wood.

If you are not as qualified as Prince Heimos, you have to make up for it with diligence.

The priest of Shamash reprimanded Garlandao in a serious manner.

So, at the end of the day, Garlan felt exhausted both physically and mentally.

Ah, the road ahead is bleak and there is no (destroyed) hope at all.

The little prince was very sad.

It is impossible to say that you don't want the throne at all. No one will believe you if you say it. Instead, people will think that you are just pretending to show so-called courtesy.

Garlan pondered.

So, would it be useful to say directly that I think I am not as good as Heimos, and I think Heimos is more suitable to be the successor to the throne... Will this be useful?

...It might have been useful before, but now...

Now that he knows that his qualifications are not as good as those of Prince Heimos, he must make up for it with diligence!

The current Shermer would probably teach him such a righteous lesson, and then use various means to forcefully change his 'decadent' thoughts to a 'positive' one.

As for Shemuer's methods of forcing people to be 'positive'... Garlan shuddered when he thought about it.

No, no, no, this method won’t work either, absolutely not!

…

So, in the end, we still have to find a way to get Brother Wang and Xie Muer to take the initiative to abolish themselves?

Shermer was giving a lecture there, and Garlan, who was sitting on the bed, seemed to be listening obediently, but in fact he was already distracted, and his mind was full of thinking about how to make Shermer give up his own method.

For a time, the two people's thinking went in opposite directions, and they were completely out of sync.

If the priest, who was so passionate about teaching Garlan to be an excellent heir to the throne, knew what Garlan was thinking about at the moment, he would probably be furious.

Just when one was teaching seriously and the other was not interested in learning, there was a sudden noise outside.

Xie Muer turned his head and looked at the sound, and when he made a closer distinction, he suddenly frowned. He, who has been in battle for a long time, has already heard it. In the noisy sound, there can be a vague sound of metal collision, which is probably the sound of weapons clashing.

However, King Camos had clearly led the remaining cavalry to Vinal City early tomorrow. At this time, he should be catching the sneaky fish of the cult in the city and the dignitaries who had secret dealings with the cult. It was impossible to return to Ayr Town.

Just when Shermer stood up and planned to go out to find out what was going on, there was a burst of rapid footsteps, approaching from far away.

Then, the door was pushed open violently.

"Lord Shermer!"

Someone opened the door and walked in quickly. It was one of the five cavalrymen left by King Camos to protect Garlan, followed by two others.

It was already late at night, but they were all wearing leather armor and fully armed, looking at Shermer solemnly.

Shermer stood up and glanced outside over the shoulders of several people. In the dark night in the distance, abnormal firelight could be faintly seen, as if a house was burning.

"What happened outside? Why is it so noisy?"

The leading knight replied solemnly.

"Sir, the refugees gathered in Ayr Town launched a riot tonight! Now they are attacking the town's ruling house, and a group of rioting refugees are coming in our direction!"

"What!"

Xie Muer's pupils shrank, and he quickly walked out without saying a word, and several cavalrymen immediately followed him.

Garlan, who was left in the house, watched in astonishment as Shermur and the others filed out. Through the open door, he could faintly see dangerous firelight swaying in the dark night in the distance.

……ha?

Refugee riots?

Now? it's here--?

Garlan subconsciously recalled the half-sentence Heimos said to him late last night.

[If there is another time and you encounter this kind of thing again...]

Heymos, you crow's mouth!

This is definitely your curse coming true!

The author has something to say: Garlan decisively passed the blame for his lucky e-physique to Heimos' crow's mouth...
