Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 154: This palace is empty

Although the two prairie guests are distinguished, their skills are sharp, fierce and unambiguous, their wrestling skills and grappling skills are skillful and deadly, and they have obviously undergone actual combat training.

First, the martial arts style of Seri Grassland is completely different from that of Xilu. Second, the guards and servants who came to the scene did not dare to make heavy moves, so they tried several times, but they failed to suppress the two who made the real fire. In fact, several enthusiastic guests who had acted bravely were hurt and injured.

"Looking really familiar, reminds me of royal banquets."

Looking at the chaotic corner of the banquet hall, Thales was wary: "Is that this? If people die, Kingdom Secret Science can use it..."

"I don't think so." Jane, who is paying close attention to the situation, shook his head. "The prairie people know that this is their own hatred, and the conflict between foreign guests does not involve Kevin Deere. The Emerald Festival gathers. Quartet guests, every year there will be disputes after this kind of wine is hot. It is not surprising. Taking a step back, even if there are any serious consequences..."

Jen stopped and glanced at Thales.

"The Emerald City has its own laws, which are fair, rigorous, and convincing. This is known to all parties on the routes and trade routes. As long as they are handled properly, no one will put the accounts on us."

Thyls couldn't help sighing when he heard the words and thought of what happened to him.

"It makes sense. If the capital also had a judge like Brennan, then Anke Bailar would not have nowhere to ask, and he would kidnap and coerce at my banquet."

And you don't want to send him that sword to trouble me.

Thyls resisted the unspoken slander.

"I know you are scolding me in your heart."

Jane's expression remains unchanged, alienated and indifferent:

"But you are actually very clear that it is not a problem that can be solved by one or two well-trained and principled judges."

Tyles pursed his lips, and Jayne's words reminded him of Cohen's career as a police officer in Wing Star City.

While thinking about it, the conflict in the banquet hall has changed again. I saw an agile figure squeezing into the guards and instantly joining the battle between the two prairie guests!

Boom! Snapped!

The newcomer did not show any superior strength or skill, but he was very lucky. Cha Chaka was on the offensive of the two sides and entered the battle before the new round was opened. He was short to receive a fist, turn around and sweep his leg. , The two guests fell to the ground severely one after another!

The crowd onlookers exclaimed.

The anger of the two perpetrators was about to get up, but the newcomer raised his hand, and a sword with a sheath happened to fly from the side and fell into his hand.

The next second, the newcomer unceremoniously banged twice, knocking the two prairie people fainted.

The guards saw the gap, hurriedly stepped forward and separated the two of them, and then helped them to treat the wounds.

Perhaps because of the atmosphere, the surrounding guests gave out cheers and applause, and the nearby performers also played a "Conquest" in a timely manner.

The conflict was resolved, and the newcomer spun around and retracted his sword gracefully, only hearing a tear-Miranda stood barefoot on the ground, frowning at her torn skirt, a little embarrassed.

"Not bad at skill, but," Jen hummed and glanced at Thales, "It's a pity."

Thyls was thinking about what advanced words to say to express "Eh, it's not surprising, I'm all under this level", and his expression froze when he heard these words:

What a pity? What a pity? What a pity?

Don't just say half of it!

At the scene of the incident, the Marius envoy appeared behind Miranda, handing out his coat, and at the same time changing back to the eagle in her hand, which made the surrounding group of red eyes eager to try and are vying to get off The men in coats or overcoats sighed disappointedly.

"The sword came at the right time, Lord. It's just that I just kicked off my shoes." Miranda looked at her barefoot with an embarrassed expression, "Can I bother you..."

Before he finished speaking, Mallos automatically stepped aside: Glover and Paul struggled to squeeze away from the crowd, the former was squeezed out of a button, and a left shoe was squeezed back, and the latter With a smile on his face and a stain that he didn't know when, he handed out a right shoe gracefully.

"When did you find it?" Miranda took the shoes in surprise.

"When did you kick them off?" Mallos was expressionless.

Miranda smiled and thanked them one by one.

The atmosphere of the Star Lake Guard was more harmonious, until D.D squeezed away from the crowd panting, flattering and expectantly holding out the third women's shoe.

"What? Not this one? Ah, that's it, hehe, it's okay! Neshi is still behind, lying on the ground inch by inch to look for..."

The crisis came to an end, and the two prairie visitors in the matter also woke up quietly, most of their anger disappeared, perhaps because they were thrown out in public and lost their face, perhaps because the person who shot was actually a girl.

However, one of them broke away from the servants in anger and rushed to Miranda to inquire, but the Star Lake Guard was not to be outdone. DD took a step forward, holding Glover with his left hand and Paul with his right hand, protecting Miranda with all his might. .

The guest touched the red and swollen place on his forehead and spoke to Miranda aggressively. The person next to him hurriedly translated: The guest wanted to know the girl’s name and address-when he was later Riding a horse to fight, lay down ten tribes on the Kisery grassland, and when he had enough ten pastures, he returned to the west and offered five of them to her as a betrothal gift.

Miranda couldn't help but froze, trying to understand what the other person said, but the other perpetrator gave a cold snort, and also pushed the waiter away and stepped forward.

The guest, with his black eyes, blushing, and messy clothes straightened, said to Miranda in a stumbling Westland language, this girl is beautiful and brave, with great skill, is she willing to follow him? Returning to Duseli Grassland, if he wants, he will now swear an oath to his honorary sword. If he becomes the khan of the tribe in the future, she will be his eldest concubine. They will rule the tribe together, the Megatron Grassland, if he If he failed to become a khan or died early, the girl could take away half of his cattle and sheep and find another hero to remarry.

As soon as I came and went, I started again with Miranda’s two guests-I don’t know if it’s for the girl, or for "Kissery" or "Duchery"-yelling and yelling, and seeing the sleeves rolled up again When he started fighting, he was clasped by a pair of black gloves on his shoulders.

"Tell them that I am not a tool for them to compete for face."

"As for the grassland and the Khan, it doesn't make sense to me," I couldn't make up the torn skirt, so Miranda wrapped it around her calf as a leggings and wrapped it around their necks and laughed. "Because I am the Khan-the Khan on the Snow on the other side of the sea!"

The two prairie guests were startled at first, and after they understood, they looked at Miranda with more enthusiastic eyes--the two joked about each other, wanting to form bloodless, but more sacred brothers and sisters with her.

Marius appeared at the right time, smiled and praised the skills of the two guests, pointed to the dishes on the ground that were affected by their fight, and waved at the same time. The two Exeter guests next to the "Snow on Snow" Before commenting on the meaning of "Khan", let everyone take Miranda away.

The situation subsided, and the warm atmosphere of banquets and celebrations resumed in this corner.

"It is indeed a good sword."

Jen on the observation deck looked at Miranda, applauded, and said again:

"It's sharp, or has a miraculous effect."

Tyles and You Rongyan straightened their collars and straightened their waists in a dark corner that no one could see.

But Jane's conversation changed:

"It's just that the sword has double-edged swords, so it's easy to hurt yourself. If you don't have enough stature, it's better not to wield it randomly."

"Don't worry," Thales curled his lips. "I'm not like someone. I carry my sword every day and go to other people's banquets as gifts."

Speaking of the old grievances, Thales and Jane looked at each other and turned their heads together with a hum.

"Well, at least we are sure of one thing," Thales exhaled, "At the battle banquet, my father will not act on guests from the grassland-the sword will not fall from here."

"Well said," Jen said sarcastically, "Now we need to pay attention to only a few hundred other guests. This is nothing short of a cloud and a sudden, greatly reducing the difficulty of our work. "

The two were silent for a while.

"Can we stop mocking each other?" Thales sighed, "Seriously, this greatly increases the difficulty of our communication."

Jen chuckled softly, holding onto the hookah.

"Tell me, Thales, you and your people, what secrets have been spied on in the Emerald City these days?"

Tyles had a heartbeat.

"Sorry?"

The Duke of Iris snorted softly:

"Don’t pretend, these days, your subordinates-including that Aaron, even took off their uniforms to participate in the banquet-do everything possible to fully penetrate the Emerald City, up to the nobles. I have searched all the places in Limin, business, trade, public security, military, law, history, and even my sister’s affairs, everywhere inquired about... And you, yourself, can spend my hospitality funds and wander around the city. Find fault everywhere. Do you really think I don't know what you want to do?"

Thyls's expression stagnated.

Oh oh.

"I thought I had talked to you, Thales: In the Emerald City, we are open and honest--"

In the face of Jen's scorching eyes, Thales, who was uncovered, coughed.

"Um, I, aren't we busy these days, you are not free, I didn't have time to visit your bedroom at night, um, I can't tell you privately..."

But Jann ignored his borders and continued aggressively:

"——You are doing little tricks behind your back, searching for intestines, thinking about how to break me down?"

The Duke of South Bank put down his cigarette holder and exhaled a puff of white smoke, making his expression even more weird.

Thyls was a little embarrassed, he rubbed his hands.

"Yes, I sent people to investigate and detect, understand the current situation of the Emerald City, search for the weaknesses of the Emerald City, because—because this is what I should do!"

The prince adjusted his mood and made himself sound confident:

"Since we want everyone, especially my father, to see that the two of us are in a state of war and are hostile to each other... Isn't this normal, necessary, or even necessary?"

Jen squinted his eyes.

Thyls turned around and waved his hand without a doubt:

"Since the pursuit of thorns-the pursuit of effects, then follow through to the end!"

Jen didn't answer, but just looked at him silently.

The silence of the other party lasted so long that Thales felt a little embarrassed and had to put down his sore arm.

"Good point."

The Duke of South Bank looked at the Emerald City outside the lookout and snorted coldly:

"As your visible enemy, I should also do my best to fight against you, block your channel, embarrass your subordinates, hinder your life, and never let you live well, to show that we are really fighting. It’s up to you to die and live without revealing any flaws—otherwise, how can you fool others, right?"

Thyls is not to be outdone:

"Why? Are you threatening me now? Don't forget--"

Jane continued: "How about cutting your daily meals?"

Food...

Thyls put on a friendly smile in time, and the conversation changed:

"——Don’t forget that we are just acting!"

He laughed:

"Oh, acting is just a means after all. It is not good to be too serious or too deep in the show. It will seriously affect our cooperation efficiency. After all, we still have the biggest enemy!"

Jen hummed disdainfully, then took a breath of cigarette.

"Then, your Royal Highness and your men, have worked so hard in these days, have you found anything in the Emerald City?"

In the smoky smoke, the Duke of South Bank's gaze hit Thales's eyes directly:

"For example, is there anything worth noting that can be used as a handle to overthrow Kevin Deere's house with a fatal blow?"

Tyles paused, smiling awkwardly.

"Well..."

Something enough to overturn Kevin Deere's house-uh, the secret sauce for barbecue?

"We thought we were done, honestly?"

Is it the next moment, the Duke's momentum changed, full of murderous intent:

"Tell me, Thales, if you were the king and you were your majesty, how would you deal with the Emerald City to seize power from Kevin Deere?"

Tyles' smile froze.

If you are the king.

How to seize power...

Thyls?

The prince looked back at each other silently.

And Jane just smoked silently, waiting for his response.

At that moment, many thoughts flashed through Thales' mind.

You are the king.

You are your majesty.

What would you do?

In an instant, he seemed to return to the Fuxing Palace and saw the young man with the crown from the back.

The youth just moved his fingers, and the whole kingdom moved like a machine, neatly aligned, like a finger.

His kingdom.

Thyls had to reach out and pinch the covenant in his pocket, leaning on the bone spurs on it, to pull himself back to reality.

The two people on the observation platform are facing each other in silence. On one side of them is the banquet hall full of singing and dancing, and on the other side is the panoramic view of the Emerald City.

Finally, Thales sighed softly:

"Yes, I have sent my subordinates in the past few days. It is true that I have learned some information about the Emerald City."

Jen put down the hookah and looked at him seriously.

"As far as I know, a large number of commercial goods from the entire kingdom are gathered here, in the Emerald City, assembling, processing, sorting, and trading."

Thyls looks serious:

"It will be transported to Gonghai City, where it will go out to sea, leading to the north, east, or south to the sea, and vice versa."

This is the topic that Glover came back from the canal area after talking about a lot of horror stories about the water ghouls on the wharf and the sea legends of tide hunters.

Jane's eyes changed when he heard him.

"And those merchants, artisans, and craft owners, they don’t go anywhere, they only believe in the Emerald City and Kevin Deere, and believe in the order and rules here," Thales shook his head, "Mike can threaten a wine The renunciation of business may be able to influence some industries through him..."

"Apostasy?"

Jen is thoughtful.

"The wine merchant, do you really think that secret science can influence certain things through him, or someone like him?"

"Maybe, just maybe," Thales shook his head. "But the point is that they can't force so many people to turn around at the same time, they can't reverse the impression of the Emerald City in everyone's hearts, and they can't cut off your climate. The lifeblood of financial resources."

Jenn didn't speak, just silently nodded.

"In addition, the Kevin Deere family has a lot of armed merchant ships that have a stake, such as the pirate just now, um, the former pirate, and the sea wolf ship group in Tanganga."

Thyls continued calmly:

"Of course, it is still a merchant ship in name. It belongs to different ship owners. The scale is not as large as the Kingdom and Huigang navy anchored in the East China Sea. The combat power is also unknown... but it is enough to ensure your transoceanic trade."

This is the information that Wiya and Commutuo brought back after having eaten around the major guilds through Gilbert's fame.

"As for the Emerald Legion, this is another pioneering effort—yes, they are not long-established, they have not been under war, and they are not well-trained. They are not as powerful and scale as the standing army of the royal family, and may not be able to withstand the anger of Araka Mu The guard rushed back and forth two times."

This is the conclusion reached after Glover, including Miranda, had "tested their hands" with a few good-looking local officers.

"Excessive reputation," Jen said suddenly, "I know that the group of green hats have a few kilograms and can withstand half a round without being crushed, even if they are worthy of the salary."

In the face of such a frank Duke, Thales was a little embarrassed.

"But they command unity and use this as their duty. There is no disadvantage of enlisting soldiers," Thales continued. "If my father wants to deal with you in a way similar to the Wings of Legend mixing the Bladefang Camp, I'm afraid it will It is difficult, at least there are not enough excuses and reasons."

Jen laughed.

He looked at the teenager with interest and seemed to encourage:

"What else?"

Thyls looked back at him as well.

Jen looks very calm.

Is it confident?

Still gaining momentum?

"Citizens here."

Tyles continued.

"They are different from Yongxing City. In fact, they are different from the citizens of most places I have seen. They are various workshop owners, industry owners, boat owners, merchants, and workers, craftsmen, and coachmen. , Trackers, sailors...too many, too many to count, including the various guilds, guilds, and chambers of commerce they formed, so that Emerald City has set up a notary office to deal with their matters.

"This is also the case with the grassroots officials. This is the first time that I have seen so many people in the Security Department. There are too many people. They are not enough. They have to recruit volunteer assistants from good citizens. Most of them are ordinary citizens. The Emerald City has production and industry."

This is the intelligence that Kong Muto obtained through the relationship of the Security Department and found a few old friends here.

Of course, there are also D.D and Nexi, who were found out by a group of people eating and drinking in the city - of course, they were relying on the public funds of the Emerald City.

"In other places, farmers, herders, and craftsmen live on the land in the countryside around the lord’s castle. If there is no shortage of food, they may protest the uprising. In order not to be overwhelmed by them, the lord may also be entrapped in them. Bring the contradiction to the level of the guardian duke."

Thyls sighed softly, his eyes were different:

"However, these citizens of all walks of life who have left the land...want to incite them to oppose you and overthrow Kevin Deere. I can only say that it is not the time yet."

Jen's smile is not diminished:

"It is not surprising that Yongxing City, Huigang City... big towns all have such characteristics."

But Thales shook his head.

"After I came here, rumors spread all over the streets of the Emerald City. Although the versions are different, they probably have one thing in common: once I marry your sister..."

Speaking of sensitive information, Thales couldn't help but raise his head and observe Jayne's expression, lest the other party push himself from here on impulse.

Fortunately, although the Duke of South Bank frowned slightly, he did not act too drastically.

"The rumors say that once I marry the Duke’s sister and become Kevin Deere’s brother-in-law," Thales said cautiously, "then the Iris family will have to Forced to bow their heads, the royal merchants will flood into the Emerald City..."

"Come to carve up the market and profits?" Jann asked, raising his eyebrows.

"No, Emerald City is not afraid of someone coming to carve up the market. In fact, you also welcome to encourage businessmen to come, thinking that this can drive circulation and promote prosperity," Thales denied. "But you let out this rumor--yes. , I know it’s you-what I want the citizens to know is: someone, a big man, is going to change the rules of the Emerald City from top to bottom."

Jen raised his eyebrows.

Yes, rumors, this is the news that Rolf pretends-not to have to pretend to be deaf and mute, relying on the advantage that no one cares about, he heard in the street liquor store.

Tyles leaned on the railing and looked at the lights below.

"As the Duke, you can introduce specific administrative institutions into the Kongming Palace, willingly pay fines to the court, and make a low voice to the judges. This means that in the entire South Bank, no one—unless he The power of the status is above the guardian duke-dare to break the rules that even the iris must abide by."

Thyls looked at each other:

"It is the rules created and maintained by the Kevin Deere family that have shaped the unique order of the Nanan Ning: outside merchants can safely bring their goods in, not afraid of turbulence and power; local citizens Even daring to go to the streets with a bag of gold, without worrying about safety or loss; even the wealthy aristocrats have to move their chips to bet the game at this table according to the croupier's instructions."

"In short, here, no one needs to watch the lords' mood and preferences with fear, subject to the randomness of the rulers, and worry about possible turbulence. For example, when a king dies in Exeter, just Want to change to a new bitumen ore contract?"

Jane stopped smiling, he stared at the prince closely, without saying a word.

Tyers changed his head:

"But once I become a relative of Kevin Deere, and the South Bank has a natural presence higher than that of Kevin Deere, will the established rules still be obeyed, or will they be obeyed? Once the greed of the capital The nobles and imperial merchants followed me and followed Can Xing to the Emerald City. Will they still respect the order? Wouldn't they take advantage of the inherently stronger kingship to seize it by accident?"

"For example, when Dagori Moss was arrested before, what you want the whole Emerald City to see is not that the Royal Family of Stars is covering the merchants in the center, and the "Royal Family wants to change the rules that you depend on for your living." '?"

Thyls sighed:

"This is the purpose of your rumors-and I happen to be a northerner who grew up in Exeter, oh, I forgot, for the South Bank, north of Muhe, including Yongxing City It's all considered'barbaric north'."

Jen's eyes grew stranger as he watched him.

"I guess, in this way, almost all the merchants, owners, craftsmen and workers in the Emerald City, it can be said that most of the ordinary citizens, will spontaneously reject me, hate me, and resist the entry and intervention of the royal family—that finds I won’t talk about the dumb earl of my duel, but the sunset ritual who expressed dissatisfaction with my marriage a few days ago, I guess he reflected and reflected the wishes of the general public?"

Tyles sighed in his heart: At this point, the prince's butts have lost.

"So, any **** marriage, go to the hell," Thales sneered, "If I really set marrying your sister as my goal, thinking that I can safely encroach on the Emerald City through the marriage between the royal family and the duke. I'm really blind."

"It's not bad, Your Highness," Jen hummed lightly, and looked at him with admiration, "Not bad."

Tyles took a deep breath.

But it's more than that.

Much more than that.

"And the entire South Bank Territory, from the duke down, the traditional high-ranking vassals—whether they are real or honorable nobles, earls, viscounts, barons—and their families have business in the Emerald City, with foundations, and intricate relationships. All walks of life." Thales continued.

This is the news that D.D and the dudes of the Emerald City came back after eating, drinking and having fun.

"For example, Karabyyan in Walla, Lasia in Zedi, these nobles either partnered with a certain businessman as a guarantee, or bought shares to support a certain industry to pay dividends, or simply led to open up a business route by themselves..."

Well, there are also the two Karabyyan twin sisters... In order to find out the business relationship behind the family through the Tailor’s Guild, Kong Muto had to be slaughtered two hundred and twenty-four gold coins. Fortunately, he just had It was resolved by Miranda.

"...So their profits and income no longer depend on their traditional land, but largely depend on—"

"The prosperity of the Emerald City." Jann took the words calmly.

Thyls nodded, his expression solemn:

"And the prosperity of the Emerald City depends on commerce and trade re-exports, rules and order, the governance and protection of the Kevin Deere family, and the prestige you have accumulated in the South Bank for a long time.

"This keeps you safe in the traditional ruling order: when the real baron and the villagers, who are forced to desperate by the land, move out of the jurisprudence and cry in the courtroom, no one will pay any attention, even none of them have weight. When his vassal is willing to arbitrate for him, it is even more impossible for my father to subvert you through these people. At the royal banquet, the land conflicts and debt disputes like Baylar and Doyle are here. There will be no splashes, and even if there is, it is the task of Inquisitor Brennan's hammer."

Thyls remembered something, was silent for a while, then continued:

"So, the princes of Exter, they may unite and oppose Chaman Rumba; the Forex and Zemuto families in the north may be short-sighted, proud, and greedy, thus coveting Asia. Lund did not fall behind in the power vacuum; the officials of the Western Wilderness, including Chroma of Wingburg, and Bozdorf of Soulhold, may also be separated from Duke Falkenhaus due to their different positions and split political opinions. "

Thyls only felt that what he said was extremely heavy:

"But here, the great vassals of the South Bank, they have been in the game for too long, they are too involved, and they are too dependent. It is not only impossible for them-to be bought by my father-to oppose you, but also to surround the Emerald City. , Tied together by the entire South Bank system, supported Kevin Deere and resisted the royal invasion."

"Really? Are you sure?"

Jen's eyes became sharper.

Thyls stared at Jen, feeling something deeper in the other's eyes.

"As for the final counterattack force," the prince slowly said, telling the information that Gilbert had sorted out and came to him through Wyah, "As long as your father died, you succeeded the duke. That year, it was completely extinguished."

Jenn's eyes moved.

"Nearly ten years ago, in 669, Viscount Sona Kevin Deer of Gonghai City hired a murderer to assassinate your father."

Jen took a deep breath.

"Viscount Sonar--your uncle was half successful, but after the incident was revealed, the conspiracy was revealed and he died in jail," Thales sighed, "I think that is the last counterattack of the traditional land aristocrats in the South Bank. ."

Of course, if this happens to Exeter, it is estimated that the Northlanders will choose Sona Kevin Dill as king.

The night wind blew across the observation deck, and Jane had a deep look.

"Ning to die because of a friend, not an enemy."

He extinguished the hookah and put the pipe back into the pipe:

"But my father never thought that this sentence could be applied to his brother."

Thyls didn't speak, and gave the man in front of him a little respect.

"Finally, it stands to reason that such a big city, a slum like Xiacheng," Thales continued after a few seconds, "In the Emerald City, there should be only a lot more."

"It's a lot," Jen nodded. "The new suburb here is that its area is increasing year by year."

Thyls shook his head:

"But it is far less chaotic than the capital city—in comparison, there are more citizens in Yongxing City, but there are more poor people. The area of ​​Xiacheng District is several times that of other districts. It can be managed by dividing into three districts. ——If they call that management."

Thyls can't help frowning when he thinks of the past in the sixth house.

"The Emerald City is rich, with a lot of business, miscellaneous industries, and a lot of work. As long as you have the hands and feet to work, you will not starve to death. As long as there is hope, there will not be many people who take risks," Thiel Si sighed, "Even the Brotherhood and the Blood Bottle Gang must be cautious in this order."

"Therefore, it doesn't seem feasible to think from the bottom of the city."

The voice fell, and Thales was silent for a long time.

Jane didn't speak either. It seemed that at this moment, the two were tasting the same things tacitly.

"These are all the information I know about the Emerald City."

Thyls sighed:

"In short: the so-called weakness of Kevin Deere, I didn't find it at all."

Jen looked at him, his eyes changed several times.

"I really admire you, Jayne, really."

The prince looked faintly:

"As far as I can see, from the military to the finances, from politics to the system, from commerce to public opinion, from the ruling relationship to the bottom society, this city, this territory, everything is tightly connected and interlinked. It’s not leaking and impeccable."

"As long as you are still on this land, whoever dares to move you and move Kevin Deere’s rule is to move the city’s rules, its order, its interests, and its roots. It is bound to endure a counter-attack from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, from the entire South Bank leader."

Thyls walked to the observatory and knocked on the stone fence of Kongming Palace:

"It is not as thrilling as the Northern Territory, not as rough and fangs as Xihuang, not as powerful and powerful as Yongxing City, but it is a solid copper wall and iron wall, as solid as golden soup."

The prince looked at the town in front of him, and couldn't help feeling:

"The Emerald City is known as the city of queens, but some people call it the'Queen of the City'."

He turned to Jen, meaning something:

"You know, the victory or defeat on the chessboard is determined by the king's life or death, but in fact, the queen is the strongest one."

Jen said nothing, and was silent for a long time.

"Will you overestimate us? You know, we don't even have a wall."

Thyls smiled.

He patted the railing, only his palm hurts:

"Yes, it has no walls—the speed of expansion is not as fast as the influx of residents into settlement, but..."

Thyls remembered the scene and said with emotion:

"The mediocre monarch used earth and stone to build his walls. Foreign enemies are difficult to invade, and the castle is difficult to fall..."

But before he finished speaking, Jen interrupted him:

"The wise monarch takes the human heart as his wall, always wins undefeated, never rests."

The Duke of South Bank said this sentence, slightly surprised.

Thyls was startled:

"How did you know?"

Jen looked at him:

"Of course, the "Supreme" by the Honorable Earl of Al Ruhsan."

"He was a military strategist a hundred years ago, a trooper who had no power to restrain the chicken, but became the imperial military adviser of the Xianjun Mindis III, and became the de facto supreme commander of the Star Army, the so-called company. The "Marshal Without Sword" who can't hold the sword-since you quoted him, you should know?"

Huh?

"Supreme Slightly"?

Luh what?

What is it?

"Oh, Lu, Ruhsan, well, yes," Thales, who was ignorant on his face, had to pretend to be calm, "I'm talking about him."

But Jain seemed to see him through, and saw the Duke chuckle.

"Rukhsan was the commander of the'Glorious Battle' in the Fourth Continental War. He overthrew many established combat thinking and combined naval and land warfare, city defense and field warfare, coast and plains to formulate strategies. Although there was no glorious red sea battle in the Borasco battle of the "Far Sail", it also caused the Morrowind fleet of the Humbles and the Ligurian fleet to return without success, making the so-called'Hundred The Wanxiong Division’s landing failed, so he could only withdraw his troops and return to the voyage."

"It was also from him that military consultants became a permanent position in the Imperial Conference, and the Royal Knights Academy also added strategic planning to the curriculum."

Jane's smile disappeared as soon as his conversation turned around:

"But in his later years, Ruhsan retired and retired, and after living in the Emerald City, his military thinking became conservative and backward. He has been criticized and mocked, saying that he was old and unwilling to make progress, and was suffering from a sick nightmare. I was scared, and the power is no longer."

""Supreme" is his unfinished posthumous work. Compared with his other strategizing and controversial works, this book is not about how to fight wars, but how to avoid them. Too many people are willing to read."

There was a chorus in the banquet hall~IndoMTL.com~ It seems that the competition banquet has come to a climax.

"Uh, yes, yes," Thales coughed. "That's it, uh, it fits the current situation of the Emerald City. The jackals, tigers and leopards who have gnawed down this bone have no way to speak."

Well, is it disrespectful to describe the king like this?

Jen's face is sinking and silent.

Time seems to have passed as long as a century.

"It's not me."

Jane finally spoke.

"What? What's not you?" Thales wondered.

"I mean, it's not just me, not even my father."

The young duke came to Thales and watched the lights of thousands of houses under the Kongming Palace with him:

"What you see today is from the golden age of stars opened by the wise king a hundred years ago, from the Duke Federico, who was mocked and clumsy and said he was parroting, and went through six On behalf of Kevin Deere, the seven Duke of South Bank, countless people with lofty ideals work together, it is the city of queens built by them who clung to one corner but have a long-term vision, keeping a low profile to subtly influence the city for a century."

One hundred years.

Six generations.

Seven dukes.

Thyls changed color slightly.
