A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

In a secret private home in Tozes, the big businessmen who are heavyweights in Tozes are meeting here to discuss important matters.

"His Taka did not come?"

"That Highness is here. It's better to be low-key recently. He won't come forward to contact us for the time being."

"fair enough."

An older businessman with white temples nodded.

He said, "So, how well are things prepared?"

"Everything is going smooth."

"Isn't it scheduled for the second night of the temple inauguration ceremony? On the evening of the ceremony..."

The talking businessman said a vague word.

"This is a rare celebration, is it a bit disappointing?"

On the other side, the middle-aged housekeeper who was sent to the private meeting as the governor answered the answer.

"No way, no matter how persuaded by the consul, the lord decided to return to the royal city early the next morning."

He said, "Therefore, the time can only be advanced to the evening of the day."

"Since this is the case, it can only be so."

The older businessman shook his head in regret.

"Then, everyone is ready." He smiled and said, "We Tozes have to resist pirates all the year round, but it is very hard, and the Navy has suffered a lot of casualties."

"That's right." Bertola also smiled at the interface. "So, the amount of naval maintenance costs in previous years is not enough. Tozes City must leave more taxes to continue to resist pirates."

He tilted one leg, put his hands on his knees, and sat on a chair with a smug smile on his lips.

"We must make the prince realize this clearly."

He spread his hands and laughed.

"What could be more recognizable than allowing the prince to personally experience the city being attacked by pirates?"

He said that everyone in this luxuriously decorated room laughed.

Ferocious pirates attack Tozes.

Tozes navy and pirates fought a mammoth battle in the middle of the night.

The young prince, who is said to have never been on the battlefield, will certainly be frightened by this terrible war.

It is said that this prince is known as a'wise prince' and has a pure heart.

As long as the prince realizes the horror of the pirates, he and others will cry to him with the coordinator, and then let him look at the wounded or killed soldiers, which will inevitably arouse the other’s pity. , Cut off more taxes-

The perfect process.

Perfect result.

Betola, who was full of heart, smiled and looked to the side of the room.

A thin man stood in the corner, shrouded in shadows, and looked very unremarkable.

He looks ordinary and has no sense of presence. While everyone was talking, he kept his head down, and he wore a wide hat on his head, covering his face tightly and hardly seeing his appearance.

"Advance action time to tomorrow night, do you have any questions over there?"

"Please rest assured, adults."

The man touched his chest with one hand, and bowed slightly to answer, only a humble smile at the corner of his mouth under the wide brim.

"Our head said, there will be no delay for adults."

"That's good."

Betola nodded in satisfaction.

Although there is a dark cover in the middle of the night, since you want to pretend to fight a pirate, exchange with each other, you can't do it without the cooperation of the other party.

Everyone is satisfied.

Now that the pirate leader has given a guarantee, they will be relieved.

After all, in the past few years, both of them have cooperated very well. The reputation of that group of pirates sounds terrifying, but in fact it is still very credible.

They gave the pirates enough money to satisfy their appetite in exchange for not attacking their merchant ships.

At the same time, let Tozes become the selling point of pirates and provide them with various conveniences for selling stolen goods.

Anyway, these merchants also feel that large amounts of commodities can promote the prosperity of Tozes and increase taxes. As for the origin of those commodities and slaves, are they stained with blood... Haha, they are concerned about their farts, and they will not have to delay making money.

In order not to let the people above doubt, collude with the pirates, let them pretend to attack Tozes every once in a while.

Give the pirates some sweetness, you can better buy them and trend them.

Although they are a group of hungry wolves, they can still be obedient like dogs after they are raised.

The big businessman thought so satisfied.

Sometimes, these merchants will let the Navy of Tozes, who is already under their control, deliberately pretend to be unable to resist, and let those pirates attack the city.

Anyway, the town of Tozes near the coast is the lower city, where some poor people, slaves, and ordinary civilians live. These big merchants live in the upper city, a little further away.

As for the pirates, they came in, raped in the lower city, looted, burned and snatched... Well, they didn't kill them in the house anyway, it was their business.

Moreover, the pirates robbed the civilians of their property. After retreating, those civilians who could not survive the disaster can only sell their children and relatives or even sell them to them, or sell their houses to them in exchange for meager The property barely survived.

They easily acquired a large number of slaves in this way, and they could also buy a large number of real estate in the city at extremely low prices, thus increasing their assets again by a large amount.

It is simply sitting to make money, it is really beautiful.

If they weren’t worried about attracting the above attention and considering the issue of fishing, they even wanted the pirates to come so many times.

****

The inauguration ceremony of the Temple of Shamash was held at noon, the moment when the sun was the brightest.

The sun was very hot from the morning on this day, and the bright sun hung high in the sky.

The shrine is located by the sea, close to where the walls of Tozes are near the sea.

It was originally a low-lying place, but when it was built, a solid platform was piled up with stones and mud.

The splendid and magnificent shrine is located on the high platform, overlooking the large area of ​​the lower city district.

On the side of the platform, there is a row of golden seats, and behind each chair is a strong male servant holding a parasol.

Garland was sitting in the center seat, and Kehos did not sit, standing behind him, as was the little fat man Tal. The team of guards stood upright on the back side, and the parasol was also held by one of them.

Although there is a row of seats, the chairs on both sides of Garland are empty.

According to the assumption of the consul and the big businessmen, they had to sit in the chair beside them.

However, the blonde knight who was taller than them did not sit, but stood behind Gallan. They naturally couldn't sit down anymore and had to stand next to them.

They are not the same as the strong knights, they hardly exercise much, and after standing for a long time, they began to cry and get up.

But glancing at Prince Garland didn't react, and they could only hold on with a grumble.

At noon the sun was so glaring that Galan looked up, and the huge statue of Shamash stood in the middle of the Temple Square.

A height of tens of meters, even higher than the temple.

Samash held the sword in one hand and pressed it on the head of the lion beside him, wearing gold armor and was extremely powerful.

He stood on the ground, condescending, and his amazing golden eyes that refracted the sun looked down on the ground.

Behind his tall body, there is a temple of magnificence and magnificence.

The sun **** Shamash, the righteous and wise god.

The **** of justice, the **** of judgment.

I don't know if his pair of gold eyes are said to be able to see through all the darkness, and whether they can see the evil hidden under the prosperous city of Tozes.

Garland turned his head and stood on a high platform near the sea. As soon as he raised his eyes, he could gaze at the endless sea.

The weather is just right, and you can clearly see the clear sea level where it was connected to the ground that day.

The solemn ceremony had begun, and the horn sounded, coming from the beach.

The heavy gate of the military port has been slowly pulled up, the gate opened, and huge warships drove out of the port toward the seaside on this side.

The long and deep horns from the warships rang through the coastline from far and near.

On the leading warship, Taka, the naval commander of Tozes, wore a magnificent military gown and stood at the bow of the ship with enthusiasm.

The sea breeze blew the thick cloak behind him.

Behind him is a row of sailors playing the horn.

The huge rows of warships will surround the temple, symbolizing the guardian temple, and they will guard the city of Tozes under the watch of Samash.

This was a moment of glory for the soldiers of Aaron Landis.

Garland looked at the little figure that was too far to see clearly, remembering the message Seth had sent to him last night.

Seth was excluded from the task of guarding the temple ritual.

Taka issued an order that prevented him and his fleet from staying in the military port to obtain such glory.

He was watching, and suddenly, the back of his hand was cold.

When he looked down, he saw a water mark.

Where does the water come from?

Gallan looked up at the sky and saw the bright blue sky shining in the blue sky.

…………

Just as the temple inauguration ceremony was being held solemnly, the upper city seemed a bit empty at the moment.

After all, almost everyone who has power has attended the temple inauguration ceremony, so the vacant Shangcheng District is much quieter than usual.

In a wide open space deep in a dense forest, nearly a hundred people gathered here.

These people's clothes are very worn, dark and rough, most people have mottled scars, most of them are whipped.

Their faces are full of vicissitudes and heavy dark colors, but their hands and feet are thick, their bodies are strong, and their bodies are strong.

Because those of them who are in poor health have already been exhausted or beaten to death.

The people gathered here are large and small, old and young, with different skin tones, and different accents, but the only thing in common is that they have a clear mark on their faces or on their bodies.

That is the mark of the slave.

The leader of these slaves was a sturdy man, he was looking down in silence, as if hesitating.

The few people standing opposite the man were trying to persuade him.

"What are you waiting for? Missing this opportunity, you will only be slaves in your life!"

"There will never be a better chance than this time! As long as you succeed, you will be free from those noble masters and vicious businessmen."

"Look at the injuries on your body, when will you still be enslaved by those black-hearted guys?"

"You are not lowly, you have powerful power, enough to subvert this unfair world."

The man's words stirred the hearts of the people and aroused the blood of the hesitating slaves.

"Now, rebel, it's time to bring down the guys who oppress you!"

"Those who are cruel and do not care about your life and death-those who cruelly kill your loved ones -"

"Let them know how powerful you are! Let them know that even slaves have powerful powers to resist them!"

It was a very passionate voice.

"Fight them! Let them no longer control you!"

"We will distribute their belongings, houses and land to you. From then on, you can all live a life where you will never be beaten and scolded, and you will still be able to eat and drink."

The man's promise made the slaves' longing for the future.

"Navy Tozes will be dragged down by the enemies outside. It's too late to come here. The city guards are gathered in the lower city. Those black and timid guys need them to protect themselves and not let them come over."

"So, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity."

The man suddenly increased the volume.

"Don't hesitate anymore, now is the time for you to liberate yourself from being a slave!"

Numerous slaves looked at each other, and at this moment, they saw the flames in each other's eyes.

Filled with long-suppressed anger, hatred for those who enslaved them, and the desire for a better future promised by these people-

All these together, almost everything can be burned to ashes-

…………

……………………

Flap pop.

The waves beat the hull again and again, and the tall warship was shaking in the sea water.

On the edge of a small island not far from Tozes, a large number of warships are moored here, as if waiting for something.

On the leading warship, everyone was busy preparing for the war.

Only a tall man sat lazily on the deck chair on the deck, dangling leisurely, looking at the sun leisurely. He also had a green apple in his hand, and he gnawed a few bites from time to time.

When he gnawed the fruit, his teeth came out and reflected a golden light in the sunlight.

Among the full white teeth, there is a golden incisor.

A small person suddenly came over to ask him.

"Boss, do you really want to do that?"

"Nonsense, Lao Tzu has given orders, can it still be fake?"

"Hey, after all, I have been cooperating for so many years, you suddenly said you want to treat them... a little unaccustomed."

The man smiled at the man like a dog.

"After all, what you said at the beginning, even if it is a pirate, you have to be faithful."

"Pooh!"

The man spit on the floor directly, and an apple core directly hit the man's head. He raised his eyes and looked at his own idiot scornfully.

"Are you stupid, are you loyal to your own pigs?"

"What?"

The man hummed twice and lay lazily on the rocking chair.

He looked at the direction of Tozes City with a smile, and said, "The pig is fat."

He said: "With the help of someone, you have to kill it quickly."

…………

……………………

Clap.

Garland yelled, raised his head, the sun was weakening somehow, and a thin cloud covered the hot sun, which made people feel much cooler.

The wind began to blow, coming from the sea, with thick moisture.

He felt a drop of water fall on his calf again.

Is it going to rain?

But the sun is still bright.

Gallan thought, turning his head to look at the sea. The sea where the line of sight was still calm, and the waves of the blue of the sea were gently rippling.

The fleet of the Navy of Tozes has completed the ceremony they are responsible for, and is slowly retreating, moored on the side of the coast, quietly waiting for the temple to complete the ceremony before returning to port.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the solemn ceremony. The messy voice was still very small at first, and then it became louder and louder.

"What happened over there?!"

Someone shouted.

At this time, the eyes of all the people present had turned to that direction, and on this piled up platform, you could look out over the upper city of the highlands.

I saw the place that was originally quiet and peaceful. At this moment, smoke billowed up, and there were more than one place.

You can vaguely see that some houses in Shangcheng District have burned up.

Just when everyone was in consternation, a captain of the city guard ran over quickly, and whispered something in the ear of the consul.

The governor showed an unbelievable look, and when he saw that the big businessmen came over badly, he quickly whispered it out.

Garlan sat there, only to faintly hear the word'slave' floating.

At this time, a guard under Kahoes also hurried over, leaned over and knelt in front of Garland.

"His Royal Highness, Lord Kehos, there was a riot in the slaves of the Upper Town!"

As soon as the guard's words ended, Kehos and Tal looked at Galland in unison.

They looked at Gallan's eyes with stunned eyes, apparently remembering what he said a few days ago that'continue to treat those slaves might cause trouble.'

Of course, they still think it's impossible. It's the prince who thinks too much. How can those humble slaves have the courage, who knows how dare to--

Garland frowned and stood up.

He was about to speak, and suddenly there was a voice beside him.

"Hahahaha, it's too exaggerated."

Betola walked over, her slightly fat face still looking like a smile.

"Prince, your subordinates are too exaggerated. What a riot is just a few slaves making trouble."

He said that he didn't care.

"Please don't worry, we have sent people over."

The consul also came over with a smile, also a relaxed expression.

"Yes, the city guards want to maintain order here, so the fleet left in the military port is dispatched."

"Prince, you don't need to worry at all, we can continue the ritual." He said lightly, "I think, when the temple inauguration ceremony is over, things over there may have been resolved."

Click, click, click.

The rain fell suddenly and landed on Gallan's face.

Ignoring the two people around him, he looked up.

Not long ago, the sky was bright and sunny, and I don’t know when it was thick with thick clouds. The heavy raindrops fell from the dark clouds.

The calm and undisturbed sea just stirred up just now, and the wind whizzed past, and the waves set off, higher and higher.

At a glance, it seemed like the whole sea was irritated.

It was like a monster that had been sleeping, woke up, and then began to shake its huge body violently.

The waves swelled up, and huge waves swept through, hitting the high platform beside the city wall heavily.

There was a loud bang, and the wall seemed to be shaken by this huge wave.

There was a bang.

The sky seemed to make a loud noise like the waves.

I saw a sneer, a white lightning struck the gloomy sky.

The downpour was pouring down, but in a flash, the head and the face were poured and the group of people on the high platform was poured out like water from the water, soaking wet.

The shade of the umbrella behind the chair was already blown by the wind and I wonder where it went.

"His Royal Highness, go to the shrine to avoid rain?"

The consul persuaded Garran anxiously.

Garland ignored him. He lifted his feet up the steps and looked up at the statue of Shamash standing on the high platform.

Heavy rain poured down, and the rain fell like a waterfall along the idol.

In the darkness, the golden eyes of the **** looking down on the city seemed to be dimmed at this moment.

The teenager stood in the rain curtain, his whole body covered with wet blond hair, tightly attached to his soaked neck and wet clothes.

The rain hit his raised face, and drops of water kept falling from his cheeks.

In this panic, there was a sudden scream again.

"pirate--!!!"

The scream was exhausted, but it was so small in the pouring rain.

When the hurricane struck, Garland turned suddenly.

In the heavy rain, in the gloomy sky, dozens of boulders hit him like a shell.

They roared in the wind, accompanied by thundering thunder.

boom!

A huge stone came down from the sky, hitting heavily on the leg of the standing Samarsh statue.

With a click, there was a crack in the place where it was hit.

Then, the crack quickly extended to the other side, just a moment, the whole burst apart——

The majestic statue in golden armor collapsed.

With a bang, the stone image fell heavily on the platform, just in front of Gallan's eyes, on his side, shattered into a pile of ugly rubble.

A terrified scream rang behind Garland.

The slightly fat big businessman was almost shocked by the stone statue that collapsed on his side and almost fell to the ground. He was stunned by the servants around him and didn't fall down. He couldn't care about anything else. Step back.

When the stone statue collapsed, the stone burst from the side of Gallan's face standing there, and a blood stain was rubbed on his face.

He stood there without moving.

Yin Hong's blood oozed from the cut wound, mixed with rain, and stained his cheeks.

He was so wet that he stood on the high platform covered with cracked stones and looked into the distance.

The gusty wind roared, lifting his wet, long blond hair from the side of his neck, and flying up in the air in a mess.

Thunder thundered, and lightning ripped through the sky.

The white light illuminates the juvenile golden pupil that suddenly enlarges.

After that heavy rain, countless warships carrying pirate flags rushed to Tozes like greedy hungry wolves—

The author has something to say:

Internal slave riot

The fleet was stopped in the open sea

The military port is open, and the left fleet is sent to solve the slaves, so it is empty

A group of pig teammates

Pirates suddenly attack

No reinforcements outside
