Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 212: Flag

Chapter 708 Flag

Under the night, Zhan En frowned deeply, Xi Lai was very surprised, and Seychelles and others on the other side had ugly expressions.

The voices of the vassals kept going back and forth, and the audience farther away couldn't understand it, so the noise became louder and louder.

"That's great, I knew that His Highness will always find a way," D.D was excited, and lowered his long sword, "There is no need to fight them desperately."

Everyone in the Xinghu Guards breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wait a minute!"

At this moment, a strange voice sounded from the crowd.

"Your Highness, this is very inappropriate!"

I saw the local vassal on the south bank, the Earl of Lasia from the marshes, came out more and more, and was very angry, but his eldest son couldn't stop him:

"Noble arbitration is limited to public affairs!"

Thales' complexion sank.

"Family affairs of vassals, including inheritance disputes between siblings, all belong to the category of 'self-determination in the fort', and are not included!"

Lasia looked at the other vassals seriously:

"We cannot set such a bad precedent!"

"The count makes sense," the honored guest of the Emerald Ceremony, Earl Noah Harvey from Yanbi Port in the East China Sea, agreed, "We cannot repeat the transition from 'Dark Blue Stranded' to 'Red King Tyranny' The mistakes of the family caused the internal affairs of a family to deteriorate and expand into civil strife sweeping the kingdom!"

The speeches of the two imperial earls drew supportive voices.

Thales remained calm, but Zhan En frowned and smiled.

"Bah!"

Federico, who was crushed to the ground, said angrily:

"Didn't you "Shoot the Sun Bow" stir up internal strife in the Almond family in history, and helped Red King John set off a coup and bring tyranny!"

People started whispering again, but Earl Harvey's expression remained unchanged and he took it calmly.

"And you, Aitchison Lasia, have you filled them—the two teeth that my father knocked out..."

Federico didn't finish speaking, but was suppressed again by several security officers and gagged.

Earl Lasia is not so well-mannered, his complexion changed drastically, and he was furious:

"Little boy, your father is a disgraceful traitor——"

In the midst of the chaos, Paul from the Star Lake Guard suddenly raised his voice, attracting everyone's attention:

"In fact, we have such a precedent!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he put his usual bow to the ignorant D.D, tried his best to get rid of Xihuang's country accent, and said in a gentle voice:

"Twenty or so years ago, the late Earl of Wing Castle, Spencer Cromer killed his wife while drunk. The nature was bad, involving many parties, threatening the rule of the kingdom, not a single family can be broken, 'self-determination in the castle' principles no longer apply.”

Under everyone's surprised eyes, Paul turned around indifferently:

"So the case was discussed among a group of nobles and vassals - Lord Cyril, the Guardian Duke of Westland, Lord Tulayan, Earl of Walla, the eldest son and heir of the Earl of Rock City, the uncle of the Earl of Greyman Port, and Witnessed by my father, Lord Lewis, Earl of Heroesport, and others, the late Crown Prince Midil, ahead of the king, will decide by arbitration!"

Thales' eyes brightened.

Jen En frowned fiercely.

Among the vassals, Earl Harvey was in shock, Earl Lasia couldn't believe it, and the twins of the Karabyan family all changed their colors. They spread out their folding fans, hid half of their faces behind, and discussed in a hurry.

"Yes! Therefore, the Kevin Dill family cannot settle such a major matter as kinslaughter," D.D reacted, raised his bow and sword, and loudly chimed in, "His Royal Highness Thales has a right to arbitrate this case." There are legal principles to follow, and there are precedents to follow, and there is nothing wrong with it, nor is it presumptuous!"

"Unless someone has objections to this," Paul said coldly, looking around, "disagree with the decision of His Majesty the late King Eddie, and question the final result of the Wing Fort case?"

The voice fell, and Paul returned to the queue. The audience and vassals outside looked at each other, whispering again and again, and no one spoke in public.

D.D showed joy, and exchanged the bow and arrow to Paul: "Okay, Master Xihuang, it's quite useful to bring you here - why is your face so ugly?"

Paul shook his head.

"What case did you just say, killing your wife?" Miranda turned around, slightly surprised.

Paul sighed and nodded:

"My father said that the Crown Prince issued a gag order."

Until now.

D.D's eyes moved: "Wait, that means the Earl of Wingburg, the cousin of my grandmother's brother-in-law's nephew, his parents are..."

"Shut up, D.D." Paul cut him off.

Sunset—— he looked around and laughed at himself——I have completely offended the Emerald City...

And Wing Fort too.

The lights flickered and the moon was dim. Amidst the discussions of countless people, Thales took a deep breath and turned to Zhan En, who had deep eyes.

In this case...

"Now, as the honorable Lord of the Iris, the owner of the Emerald City, the pioneer and defender of the southern part of the Kingdom, Jann Cavendir, tell me," Thales said coldly, " You are still a citizen of the stars, are you willing to accept my arbitration?"

But Jen didn't respond, he frowned:

"This is all planned by you, right."

Not good.

Thales frowned slightly.

The Duke remained silent, Seychelles and the others on the other side also had a bad expression, and even many sergeants from the Emerald Legion looked at the Xinghu Guard with ill intentions.

"Please, Zhan En, don't," Thales whispered, "Your sister is still here, she shouldn't be implicated by us."

But Zhan En is still expressionless, with only a pair of eyes, which are getting colder and darker.

"Do you know what Federico is like? Do you know what he wants?"

Oops.

Thales' heart sank:

At this point, wouldn't he still want to flip the table?

Like Charmain Rumba?

"Jane, I'm not trying to help him..."

At this moment, a commotion broke out on the other side of the arena, interrupting the conversation between the two.

"What happened?"

"What kind of flag is that, why is it so bright?"

"It looks strange, isn't it local?"

"Damn it, I've seen it, it's..."

"Sir, should we intercept?"

"Interception? You are dying, do you know what that is?"

Some people exclaimed, some were puzzled, some were excited, and the restless emotions were transmitted layer by layer, and finally spread to the Duke and the prince from a distance.

Thales turned his head in unison with everyone's eyes, and immediately jumped:

I saw a shining silver flag, which was hard to ignore, appeared at the entrance of the arena, slowly approaching them, the crowd and soldiers along the way slowly dispersed, not daring to stop them.

The flag was firmly guarded by a group of people, and it was coming towards this side unstoppably. Against the backdrop of the lights, the flag shone brightly, sometimes dazzling, sometimes clear, causing the entire arena to scream one after another.

The next second, Thales and Jen saw the pattern on the flag at the same time, and both were taken aback:

That is the nine-pointed star.

A silver light shines, hard to ignore...

Giant nine-pointed star.

Jen En looked at Thales in surprise, and Thales looked back at him ignorantly, shaking his head.

"That's..." D.D looked at the group of people following the flag, his eyes widened.

"The leader is the 'ghost', uh, I mean, Hugo Forby the bannerman." Glover saw the person at the front clearly.

"So we couldn't find him just now because..." Seeing the team getting closer, D.D's expression changed, "I knew this kid would come to settle accounts with us sooner or later..."

"It's not just him, the person holding the flag is Kusta, followed by Kongmuto, and old Genard...ah, they were the ones who split up with us when we led His Highness to break out, and they joined us ..." Miranda came to her senses.

D.D has an ugly expression:

"It's over, it's over, this group of unscrupulous people must have shaken everything out, why we acted impulsively and acted without authorization, ghosts have to keep a small notebook..."

"Wait, the ghost," Nexi was startled, "He, he is still supporting someone—it's the officer!"

Including Thales, everyone was shocked!

"You are right, Thor."

Under the banner of the nine-pointed star, Hugo supported the people on his shoulders, and looked at the scene where the sergeants were surrounded by soldiers in the arena, and everyone felt as if they were facing an enemy, and sighed:

"They sure screwed up."

"I knew it, it's a good thing you came back to find me," said the person supported by Hugo - the watchman of the royal guard wrapped in thick bandages, Tormund Mallos limped and hummed unhappily "Wait, what did you call me?"

He frowned and looked at Hugo.

"Thor—I know, but," Hugo sneered, ignoring the emerald sergeants who gathered from every corner of the arena and were hostile to him, "either this or Terrorblade, you have to Choose one?"

Mallos took a deep breath, with a bad expression on his face.

Not long after, this group of people overcame the obstacles, crossed the checkpoint, and came to Thales.

"Thor, you, are you awake?"

Thales looked at Mallos, who was covered in bandages, looked sluggish, and needed help to walk, and was surprised and delighted.

As for the rest of the guards, most of them lowered their heads obediently, not daring to speak out.

"Yes, I just fell asleep," Mallos looked at the ugly-looking Zhan En, the fierce-looking Seychelles, and the dark legion behind him, and sighed, "You just played around It's gone."

Thales looked embarrassed.

"Believe me," said the prince bitterly, "I'm also caught off guard."

Mallos looked at him, sighed, and turned to the Duke of South Bank:

"So now, where does the election go?"

"Lord Mallos," Zhan En looked at the nine-pointed star banner above his head in amazement, waving violently in the wind, even at night, "this is..."

Mallos' eyes lit up.

"Oh, this one, my lord duke, I forgot to introduce, this is a gift from Castle of Heroes to His Royal Highness, the silver nine-pointed star banner..."

Like everyone else, Thales raised his head in confusion, looking at the big flag above his head.

It's like looking up at the stars.

"This flag is... the one given by my father?" Paul in the team whispered, with complicated emotions, "Didn't you say that His Highness doesn't like it?"

D.D and Glover looked at each other.

"Believe me, after tonight," Kongmuto sighed, "His Royal Highness will love it to death."

Paul hesitated to speak.

Mallos patted Hugo, motioned him to let go, and immediately reached out to take the banner in Kusta's hand.

The flagpole was heavy, Mallos was still injured and was struggling, Wyah and Glover wanted to help, but he waved his hand and refused.

"Except for the six unremovable banners on the top of the Fuxing Palace," Mallos glanced at Thales, leaning on the banner with difficulty, using it as a crutch, step by step towards the Duke of the South Walking, "It is the largest Canxing flag in the world, and it is the most conspicuous symbol representing the royal family."

The Seychelles knight who was standing in front of him vigilantly looked at the huge shining flag and retreated subconsciously.

"Of course, I also have a headache. After all, such a large flag, if there is any accident, such as cracked, cracked and faded, or even worse, on a big occasion, when the flagpole is in full view, the flag will fall. Now, the flag is down..."

Mallos walked while talking, seeing the flag up and down with his steps, crumbling, everyone's expressions changed.

"Hey, then you'd better get someone to help..." the Seychelles knight wanted to remind him.

"That would humiliate the royal family, humiliate the kingdom, and disgrace Canxing. It is enough to be recorded as a 'bad omen' or a 'disgrace' by the priests and historians," the watchman's words suddenly changed, making everyone's expressions Ugly, "Even 'the kingdom is in disaster' or 'defeat is imminent', even 'dynasty short-lived' such major and evil events..."

Mallos clasped the flagpole and looked around, with deep meaning:

"No matter who caused it, whether it was intentional or not, it is suspected of ulterior motives, humiliating the royal family, subverting the kingdom..."

"His crime is so great that he must die."

Including Thales and Zhan En, everyone around looked at the shining banner above their heads, and all stood in awe.

"So we usually fold it up and hide it, and don't take it out easily," Mallos laughed suddenly, "But for such a big occasion, how could His Highness not have it—help me Put it, Captain Seychelles?"

"What?" Before the Seychelles knight could react, he saw the nine-pointed star flag crashing down, and the flagpole was coming towards him!

He shuddered, summoned up his finishing power, and clasped the flagpole. Immediately, he saw that Mallos was tired, but looked at him with a smile.

Seychelles suddenly became angry: "You—"

"Thank you, Captain," Mallos waved his hand at him with a look of relief on his face, "It can be regarded as saving the royal family of Canxing."

Seychelles paused, looking at the flag in his hand.

With his strength and ability, it is not difficult to hold the flag, but for some reason, Seychelles only feels dry mouth, and the flagpole in his hand is tilted left and right, making it difficult for him to hold it steady, and he has to do his best Use all your strength to hold on to the flag.

"Just be careful, such a big flag, don't let it fall."

Mallos said meaningfully:

"It will kill people."

The eyes of Seychelles turned cold, and the anger rose from the heart, and they pushed the flag back!

Everyone was shocked!

But another hand stretched out from the side, firmly grasping the Nine Pointed Star Flag, preventing it from falling to the ground.

Seychelles turned around in surprise:

"What do you do?"

The Cassian knight held the flag calmly, and said unquestionably:

"Save your life."

The Seychelles knight was quite upset and hesitated to speak.

His master, Zhan En, stared at the big flag with unpredictable emotions, lost in thought.

"As for the ones who managed to let it go down," Mallos turned his back on them, "Captain Seychelles, do you want a nickname? 'Starfaller' or 'Taker' Star'?"

Seychelles was taken aback.

The watchman smiled with difficulty, held Hugo's shoulders again, and began to grunt and pant in the old wound:

"Maybe, you will... be as famous as that Yankee named 'Meteorite'."

Seychelles couldn't believe it. He looked at the nine-pointed star above his head, and at Mallos who was away from him, he was shocked and angry.

At this moment, everyone in the arena was staring at the nine-pointed star flag in awe, and Thales was among them. He also subconsciously stretched out his hand to block its flickering from time to time, which invaded his sight , the silver light that stings the eyes.

As if at some point in time, an invisible pressure enveloped the entire arena and even the Emerald City, forcing everyone to look at this light nine-pointed star.

No, Thales, that's not a nine-pointed star.

There was a small voice in the prince's heart, and he said to him:

That is - you.

Thales couldn't help but tremble.

And, what you symbolize.

Thales lowered his head in a daze, and looked at his cuff - there was a dark pattern of a nine-pointed star lying there.

"Enough!"

Zhan En's cold voice sounded, waking up everyone who was unconsciously looking at the flag.

"Yes, yes," Thales came back to his senses, he held his breath, and forced himself to regain his sanity, "Then, Master Zhan En, back to just now, you are willing to abide by the "Sacred Stars Covenant", Do you accept my arbitration?"

At that moment, the vassals, distinguished guests, soldiers, Xinghu guards...all held their breaths, waiting for the duke's answer.

Jane's eyes turned cold.

Arbitrate.

He turned his head and glanced at Xi Lai who had been silent since just now.

Arbitrate.

He lowered his head and glanced at Federico who was panting heavily on the ground.

Finally, he turned his head with difficulty and looked at Thales with burning eyes.

You **** little brat.

"I—"

The Duke of South Bank was about to speak, but the wind blew, and the flag above his head slammed loudly!

He froze for a moment.

More than that, the silver embroidery on the flag is extremely reflective, and the nine-pointed star emblem floats back and forth in the night sky, shining with silver light.

The fleur-de-lis flag in the distance is dimmed.

At that moment, Zhan En looked at the huge nine-pointed star above his head with complicated eyes.

Finally, when the nine-pointed star rose against the wind for the third time, the owner of the Emerald City, the Guardian Duke of the South Bank, took a deep breath and lowered his head.

"Look, Thales, when you take off your mask and start playing cards seriously, you're quite good at it, aren't you?"

Jen En sneered slightly at Thales, but the laughter was bleak:

"Although it is someone else's hand."

Thales felt a chill in his heart.

Jane smiled slightly:

"Unfortunately, no matter how good the cards are, you can still only place your own bets in the game."

The next second, before Thales could react, Jann took a step forward and said loudly:

"Of course, Your Highness! Since I am a citizen of the stars and a nobleman of the kingdom, I should accept His Highness's arbitration! I have no complaints!"

The surrounding crowd was in an uproar.

The emerald sergeants in the front row looked at each other in disbelief, but the discussions of the vassals and guests were much quieter, and many people secretly aimed at Thales.

Finally - Thales was relieved to hear the other party's conclusive answer.

It's okay.

No big trouble happened.

I saw Zhan En smiled, but the smile was extremely complicated and contained deep meaning, he waved and ordered:

"Emerald Legion, put down your weapons, get out of the way, and let them arrest me."

Seychelles gritted his teeth, quite dissatisfied:

"Adult—"

"Under the nine-pointed star flag, His Highness Thales has an order, and the Kevin Dill family will obey it!" Jen En stopped him from speaking, his tone unquestionable.

Seychelles took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and ordered his subordinates to retreat, but he looked at the Xinghu guards with extremely cold eyes.

Soon, the Jade Sergeants looked at each other, put away their weapons one after another, and retreated voluntarily or involuntarily, and many of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thales nodded towards his subordinates with a sigh of relief in his heart, Wyatt and Glover looked at each other, they stepped forward cautiously, passed the leaderless and helpless Emerald Legion, and came to Zhan En.

Glorfoll wanted to **** them to show his majesty, but Zhan En didn't give them such a chance:

The Duke himself held his head high, stepped decisively, and walked out of the legion's defense by himself.

Walk into Thales' team.

"If you have any comments, Jen, you are welcome to appeal to me during the arbitration and make your own voice," Thales looked at him with complicated emotions, "You can also ask someone to speak on your behalf Defend, if I remember correctly, the guild of defenders is in the Glorious Zone—it costs money, but it saves trouble.”

Jen En smiled slightly, not paying attention.

Compared to the noise and noise just now, all this happened quietly. The bystanders might whisper, but no one dared to speak loudly.

On the other side, Morgan pushed away several petrified security officers, roughly dragged Federico on the ground, pulled out the cloth strip from his mouth, and escorted him to the Star Lake guards.

"Not bad, cousin," Zhan En glanced at the culprit of everything today, with unspeakable emotions hidden in his eyes, "Not bad."

He looked at Thales, and his words were meaningful:

"But you think this is the end?"

"Yes, cousin," Federico, who was being escorted, responded quickly, panting, with malicious intentions, "You are finished."

The eyes of the cousins ​​met, and the surrounding air seemed to become anxious.

"The Duke surrendered just like that? It's so simple?"

In the guard, Nexi couldn't believe it:

"They have a legion, a whole city, and two extreme masters..."

D.D shook his head, thankful that he survived another night under the hands of the prince:

"Exactly."

"And we only have..."

"We have Wrath of the Kingdom."

Nexi was stunned:

"What? Where?"

D.D patted his shoulder, smiled and said:

"Behind."

Neixi looked behind her, but saw nothing, and looked puzzled when she turned her head.

"No, Jen!"

At this moment, Xi Lai, who couldn't bear it any longer, broke through the barrier and rushed to his brother, crying.

Wyah frowned, but Glover glanced at Thales and shook his head at him.

I saw the eldest lady grabbed Zhan En's hand, and then looked back at Thales with his head bowed in a daze. She wanted to speak, but she didn't know what to say.

In the end, it was Jen who unquestionably pulled her back.

"It's okay, Cecilia, sister, listen," the Duke held his sister's hand with complicated eyes, "We are Kevin Dill, right."

Xilai stared blankly at her brother, her eyes flushed.

Jen En smiled. He glanced at Thales, then turned around and held his sister's hand.

"Don't forget, Ning Yinyou..."

Heilei was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth, nodded, firmly:

"Don't die with the enemy."

I am neither used to nor like to watch this scene that seems to be parting from life and death (especially he is the instigator), Thales sighed and turned around with complicated emotions.

The emerald soldiers guarding this direction all changed their expressions and retreated abruptly.

Thales was taken aback for a moment, then smiled helplessly, and turned to explain.

"Listen, everyone, take it easy, I'm not trying to take..."

But when he turned his head, he happened to meet the vassals in the South Bank Territory again. The latter were all startled, and quickly turned sideways or backed away to avoid looking directly at him.

Thales paused for a while, and then turned to the foreign guests. They had serious expressions on their faces, but when they saw the prince looking at them, they all smiled and saluted in a friendly manner.

The Karabyan sisters are more cautious than before, a little less frivolous, and a little more alienated. Earl Harvey performed the ceremony as usual as if nothing happened. Earl Lasia reluctantly bowed his head under the urging of his eldest son , Earl Chaoyanghua of Qingdao often frowned and didn't know what to think, Sea Wolf captain Tanganga had a flattering attitude, his mouth full of gold teeth gleaming, Harshat of Tyrion made an exaggerated and enthusiastic smile, and Yannick of the Feast leader smiled Applauding him, the Earl of Li in Corleone has long since disappeared.

Thales frowned deeply.

It was only then that he realized that as far as he could see, everyone in the arena was lowering their heads to dodge, turning their heads to avoid, and if they really couldn't dodge, they bowed respectfully and carefully, and bowed far away, lest someone Get offended.

Everyone.

Almost everyone.

"Your Highness," Mallos' lazy voice sounded, "Are you ready?"

Are you ready...

Thales came back to his senses, he subconsciously touched the bone ring in his pocket, "The covenant ~IndoMTL.com~ is very strange, Guertaxa, who has a hideous appearance and a bone spur, is silently speaking at this moment." Lying in his inner pocket, docile and natural, as light as nothing, as if the previous weight and faint tingling were just a momentary illusion.

The night wind blew, and the big flag in Cassian's hand rustled again, shining with silver light.

At the moment standing under the banner of the nine-pointed star, Thales held the bone ring that could not see the light of day, looked at Zhan En who said goodbye to his sister in a low voice, looked at Federico who was staring at him with burning eyes, and looked at Seychelles, who is not angry but swallows his anger, looks at the vassals and guests who are whispering with fear, and looks at the star lake guards who are talking and laughing...

Finally, he looked up at the starry night sky of the Emerald City, and suddenly understood:

No matter what the process is, what the details are, what will be the result...

At least for this moment.

Emerald City...

It's his.
