Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 19: Execution on the spot
The cell fell silent.
"Will something happen to the North?" Wiya asked in a low mood: "Is Exter really going to send troops to the south for the king's assassination?"
"This is Rumba's intention. For this reason, he may be able to easily get the support of the citizens," Thales looked at their expressions and couldn't help saying: "But I think, the other princes Would not agree-each of them can see that this is Rumba's conspiracy."
"The previous events have been proven," Thales shook his head: "Only the black sand collar himself cannot defeat the Dragon Breaking Fortress."
"But they have Miranda," Cohen sighed, gritted his teeth and said: "Her safety will affect the attitudes of the northern vassals-and the supplies and Austrian aid in Broken Dragon Fortress all depend on the stability of the northern border. ."
Miranda shook her head.
"After my father went to jail," Miranda was obviously in a bad mood. She leaned on the fence and said slowly: "Your Majesty has sent special officials and nobles to the cold fort, and at the same time increased the standing army of Broken Dragon Fortress. Seek to stabilize the situation in the north."
"Even if I am captured-the northern border will not be so bad that even the logistics and support of the fortress cannot be supported."
"Don't worry, after having learned the lesson twelve years ago," Wiya sighed slowly, saying something comforting more than substance: "Your Majesty will not relax your vigilance."
"But war is inevitable, right?" Cohen's voice came in a low voice, with a dejected tone: "Because of us."
No one speaks.
Wordless loss and despair permeated the cell.
Thyls frowned.
Something is wrong.
About the ownership of the North, he missed something.
"Oh," Cohen sighed in annoyance, and leaned the back of his head **** the ground twice: "Damn sword of disaster...we shouldn't be here."
Also, Cohen thought sadly in his heart: If we had listened to Raphael, we would immediately disappear...
Hearing the name of the Sword of Disaster, Thales suddenly raised his head.
Wait, there is another doubt.
Nicolai told him that the Sword of Disaster was the man behind the assassination of the two princes-assassinating Thales in front of the fortress, and assassinating Moral in the realm of stars.
Therefore, Duke Peffert was involved.
The former is information passed to him by Caslan, and the latter is the king's own investigation of the stars.
Now, the former has been proved to be a lie, and the Sword of Disaster has nothing to do with the magic gun incident, then the latter...
Thyls frowned, and his brain continued to spin frantically.
After experiencing the panic of being assassinated, the confusion in Gu's butcher's shop, the disbelief in the carriage in Shanliu City, and the deep thoughts in prison at this moment, the original confusing clues have gradually gradually Clear, one by one conjectures and elements, he slowly merged into the messy jigsaw puzzle.
Only the last few dollars.
"I'm starting to understand," the little prince narrowed his eyes and nodded in a daze: "How did Rumba's plan unfold."
Miranda raised her head, opened her keen eyes, and looked at the prince.
"What?" The guard grinned and endured the pain, and he rubbed his right arm desperately on the ground, as if trying to push it straight.
Cohen shook his head and found out again embarrassingly: No one answered his words.
But this time Thales quickly relieved him,
I saw the second prince's dignified eyes, slowly speaking in deep thought.
"Half a month ago, Duke Val Allende's conspiracy in the Palace of Revival was revealed," Thales' voice echoed in this small cell, in a vague tone: "Rumba killed Moral. Was thoroughly exposed."
Everything starts here.
"At that time, Rumba made up his mind, before King Nunn led the nation's army to crush him to death," the second prince struggled to his feet, looking up under the dim light, staring blankly at the dark ceiling , The icy face of the Grand Duke of Rumba faintly appeared before her eyes:
"Desperately, the Jedi counterattack."
Looking at the prince’s serious expressions, Cohen and Miranda looked at each other, and Wiya sighed.
Little Slick bit her lower lip, sobbing.
Rumba's performance on the carriage flashed through his mind.
Chaman Rumba.
Thyls told himself: In the most dangerous situation, this terrifying Northland hero, collecting scarce chips and chess pieces step by step, completed a counter-kill game with no retreat in a limited time.
"Paffert bought the Shield of Deception and tried to assassinate me and blame Rumba in front of the fortress, but he failed," Thales' thinking became clearer and clearer, and he only heard him say indifferently: "Why do The Archbishopric will betray Rumba? I thought at first that it was the cowardly and cowardly Paffett who was afraid that he would be exposed because of Rumba, so he chose to act first."
"Perfeet of Fengzhao City?" Cohen said in a puzzled manner: "First, King Nunn, then Rumba, and finally betrayed Rumba--who is he with?"
"It doesn't seem to be that simple now," Thales' pupils slowly shrank, as if he saw Puffett who was hysterical at the last moment: "I'm afraid Puffett was terrified by Rumba's last desperate thought, so Trying to use my death and the power of the stars before Rumba drags him down to hell, to stop Rumba’s madness in one fell swoop."
"After suffering the dark loss of the magic gun troops under the fortress, Rumba traced the assassin all the way, and finally, he found the shield of deception," Thales thought of the white and clean northerner codenamed Brazier, thinking of him Interacting with Rumba, I remembered the scene in which he uttered the phrase "The shadow is immortal", and felt uneasy: "However, Rumba chose to shake hands with the Shield of the Shadow and start a new cooperation-the goal should be It is King Nunn."
"The Shield of Shadows, are they again?" Cohen's expression changed, and he was surprised: "God—Do they really want to hang out in Xilu?"
Thyls shook his head dreamily, ignoring the guard.
So the latter fell into embarrassment again.
"At the same time, Rumba began to contact other alliances," Thales took a deep breath, straightening out one by one, restoring the original appearance of the conspiracy: "Slice Bai, who has a cooperative relationship with King Nun The Marquis of Murrah, Ullad as the underground power and order officer of Longxiao City, and even the famous former Blade Guard commander Kaslan Rumba-I don't know how he found these people."
No.
A voice said in Thales’s heart: Actually, you know.
You always knew.
You just don't dare to think about it.
The light in the cell quivered strangely, causing a tremor of light and shadow.
Miranda looked at Thales intently, with a look of surprise in her eyes.
Following Thales' words, even the six guards in the cell gradually turned their heads and listened to the prince's reasoning.
Thyls sighed a long sigh, only feeling that the prospect was gloomy and the future was lost.
He cheered up and continued: "Through the channel of Kaslan, Rumba sold Puffett, another behind the scenes of Moral's death, to King Nunn."
Thyls felt very uncomfortable when he thought of Caslan's open-minded and generous image, and of his betrayal and hypocrisy.
"So, under the secret instigation of the Marquis of Comus, King Nunn and I both set our sights on Peffert, on revenge, on the intrigue with the princes. ," Thales thought of the smiling Marquis lord, remembered the dizzying duel, his eyes became more and more serious:
"Charman Rumba, while King Nunn had no time to take care of him, hid in the dark to accumulate strength and make plans."
Rumba wiped his blade and told him expressionlessly about the tragedy of the Rumba family twelve years ago, and appeared before Thales again.
Tyles' eyes slowly gathered.
King Nunn VII, he used merciless conspiracy and methods to erode the black sand collar and the Lombard family.
And Chaman Rumba, the young aristocrat of the Northland under the wings of his father and brother, grew into a new black sand prince in the darkness and blood left by Nunn.
Thyls could not help but squeeze his fist slightly, adjusting his breathing.
"First of all, Rumba seems to have used two thousand people to **** me to Longxiao City." Thales shook his head, shaken off the thoughts in his heart, and returned to the present. "In fact, it is through me to loyal to him. The soldiers escorted to Longxiao City."
Thyls couldn't help thinking of the respectful **** of the Viscount Cambeda along the way, as well as the moment when he mercilessly ordered the crossbowmen to kill him.
"Secondly, Rumba also used Caslan's channels and the guise of the Sword of Disaster to bring Miss Miranda Allende, the heir of the North Guardian Duke, to Dragon City."
"Even the Tower of End is dared to use," Miranda sighed slightly: "He manages so broadly..."
A cold wind blew from outside the cell, and a harsh wind blew through the crack under the thick door, interrupting Miranda's words.
"Their division of labor is very clear." Thales saw Xiao Shuatou shivering with cold in the corner behind him, so he unconsciously moved his body to block the incoming cold wind, and continued: "Caslan said King Nunn conveyed elaborate information and attracted scapegoats. The Shield of Deception recruited the best assassins in the world for him and arranged for the assassination. The Marquis of Bermuda confuses the king in the palace and monitors the situation. Ullad passes through the black market. Disguise the army led by the Black Sands as a patrol, prepare supplies and arrange entry into the city."
"Don't he think this plan is too big?" Huai Ya's expression was uneasy: "Any link goes wrong..."
"Huhu--" There was another stern cold wind, which was louder than before.
The imprisoned several people fell silent.
Until Miranda broke the silence again.
"There are two questions, but they still don't make sense." Miss Allende said lightly.
Cohen raised his eyebrows: "What?"
"Army," the black-haired female swordsman raised her head, the stains on her face did not affect her heroism: "There is still disaster."
Thyls' eyes lit up, and he raised his head to look at Miranda.
An invigorating sense of "talking to smart people is easy."
"I had this question from the beginning," the prince nodded affirmatively: "From weakening the enemy to seeking alliances, from arranging the plan to the final implementation, Rumba has done everything he can do. He only needs to take the rest The matter is handed over to the Shield of Deception. When I go home, I will take a soapy bath and pray that King Nunn’s head will fall."
Cohen raised his eyebrows.
Thyls showed a thoughtful expression:
"But he not only came to Longxiao City, but also brought an army-just to capture you two?"
"In Longxiao City, is there anything he must bring an army to accomplish?" Huaiya couldn't help but say: "Sack and destroy Longxiao City? Or capture and threaten others in the Palace Grand Duke, hold him as king?"
"No," a small female voice sounded timidly from the corner: "Longxiao City is the capital city, the Prime Minister and the patrol directly under the General Order, the court guard directly under the Palace of Valor, and the king The directly affiliated White Blade Guard has 2,000 to 3,500 people. If Walton’s private soldiers are mobilized, they can even gather nearly 10,000 conscripts in a short time, plus layers of city gates and terrain. …Two thousand people, not even a city gate can be attacked-King Nightwing proved this three hundred years ago."
Tales was taken aback, and looked at the girl in the corner with the others.
Xiao Huan returned to her senses, and then she realized that everyone was looking at her, her face paled with tension, and she shrank back to the corner.
"Also," Thales reacted and quickly helped her out: "The four princes are not soft eggs that let Rumba knead...Each of them is not easy."
Miranda nodded and agreed: "As long as Rumba is not a fool, he will not make such an act that thinks he died fast enough."
"Two thousand people, two thousand people who can't fight or arrest people," Cohen seemed to have improved a lot, but he raised his head and his eyes rolled: "It can't be dedicated to death, right? What evil gods sacrifice , It takes two thousand lives as a sacrifice or something..."
The whole cell is quiet.
The others all turned their gazes to look at Cohen.
"Huh?"
Cohen noticed these eyes, and his expression froze on his face.
"That... novels and bardics often have..." The guard seemed a little embarrassed, and saw him laugh and say, "Of course, I just talked about it."
Wiya put away his contemptuous gaze, he turned his head, worried and said: "Moreover, with such a big movement of two thousand people, how did they send the army into the city?"
"This is the second question," Miranda took the topic, her eyes very serious: "Disaster."
Thyls's expression darkened and did not speak.
"From disasters and chaos, to the assassination and entering the city, the timing of Rumba's launch was so well grasped," Miranda frowned deeply: "It's almost like..."
Miranda raised her head and glanced around at the other people, then she said solemnly:
"It's like disaster is cooperating with him."
Hearing the name of the calamity, Xiao Slick remembered something and bit her lip aggrievedly.
Cohen's expression changed, thoughtful.
At this moment, the guard leader spoke again.
"Well, you guys," he walked coldly into the middle of the corridor and looked around several cells: "Long talked, even if it is a death row prisoner, this kind of treatment is enough."
"From now on," the guard leader turned his head and looked directly at Thales: "Shut up for me."
Tyles frowned, and when he was about to fight for reasons, the thick door that separated the cell from the outside world suddenly knocked.
As the thick door opened, cold wind and light came again to these small cells.
Another soldier from the black sand collar ~IndoMTL.com~ wearing a patrol costume came to the cell and seemed to be sending orders.
Tyles' heart tightened. He moved his body and leaned against the fence, trying to see the outside scene clearly, but Xiao Slick carefully followed his footsteps.
The same goes for Cohen, Miranda, and Wiya.
The messenger carefully closed the thick door, then turned around and pulled out a scroll and handed it to the guard leader.
"The Grand Duke has arrived at the Palace of Valor, this is his warrant." Hearing only that the messenger approached the guard's ear, he lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Execute immediately."
The leader of the guard frowned. He opened the flame paint on the scroll and checked the stamp on it.
After a while, the guard's face changed drastically. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the messenger.
"Is this true?"
The guard leader looked at the new messenger solemnly: "Executed on the spot? All?"
