Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 73: Guess

"Rumba, what are we princes in your eyes?"

In front of the gloomy Rumba, Grand Duke Lecco suddenly spoke out.

His words caught everyone's attention.

"As an alliance under the Sworn Covenant, you should have thought about this when you used the example of stars to persuade us, didn't you?" The old man said lightly: "Is it your ally, or a stepping stone or a victim ?"

Rumba looked up suddenly!

"This is our only chance! When the Star Kingdom recovers, it will become stronger..." Grand Duke Heisha angrily: "You watch Exeter sinking gradually and sit still?"

"Exter is always inferior to your own in your eyes, right?"

Just now.

"Charman Rumba," the Grand Duke of Qiyuan City, Culique Ronnie suddenly said, "What is Exeter?"

Rumba was startled slightly.

"More than six hundred years ago, right here, in the feasting hall above us, the legendary Nine Horsemen, including your and my ancestors, who returned from the blood, lifted the hero Nicaru above their heads and respected He is the king and the Kingdom of Exeter was born.” Ronnie raised his right hand and pointed at the dragon spear carved in the cloud above his head.

Grand Duke Olesiu's expression moved.

Selma behind Thales heard the history, and her eyes lighted up.

"After the death of the hero, when the kingdom of stars is becoming stronger and the disaster of the empire is about to come back again-also ten lords of the North, who are in their own affairs and conflicted with each other. Under the testimony of the Queen of the Sky, they are in front of Nikaru's tombstone. Write an oath, abandon previous suspicions, and make a co-governance vow of ten grand princes," Grand Duke Ronnie said coldly: "We are the first time in the name of the Kingdom of Exter, we are like brothers in front of the precarious winter castle, side by side. Fight, blocking the star army of'Black Eye' John!"

Rumba looked at Duke Ronnie in disbelief, then looked at the other people who were thoughtful.

Thyls sighed slightly.

War creates a country, and a country creates war.

"The reason why we established the Kingdom of Exeter is to protect our cherished things in the chaotic world-to protect our family, our blood, our glory, trust us and loyal to us Territory and people, guard our creed and spirit of ancient guardianship!"

"We are Exter!" Ronnie punched his chest fiercely, and the emblem of the Law of the Knights on his shoulder trembled slightly: "Only those of us who guard it and recognize it exist first. The Kingdom of Exeter will exist!"

"If for the illusory so-called'Exter' in your mouth, we would sacrifice, give, and abandon even these things that we once sweared to protect," Ronnie screamed fiercely. A mouthful: "The Kingdom of Exter lost its original meaning-what is left of it?"

"It's just another tyrant and toy, another ancient empire that forcibly aggregates under violence and oppression, forcing its people to identify with themselves and to sacrifice for the empire that has nothing to do with them in fact." Luo Nig glanced at Rumba in disgust.

"Tell this to the stars," Rumba retorted fiercely: "When they **** you or your children to the guillotine!"

"They were sent to the guillotine, or you were sent to the guillotine," Ronnie also fought back sharply: "To be honest, I can't see which is worse."

Rumba jerked up his hand and pointed at Thales!

The prince was slightly surprised.

"But everything this boy said, decline, seizure of power, change-the so-called end of ours, nothing has happened yet!" He gritted his teeth: "Are you here to worry about the future of your great-grandson?"

"Everyone!"

Rumba took a deep breath.

"Even if the worrying thing happens, as long as we work together, I believe we will find a way to overcome it. Will we princes turn a blind eye to the problems before us?"

The Grand Duke Heisha seems to have recovered from the impulse just now. He stared at each Grand Duke earnestly: "But before that, we must take measures-the enemy close at hand and the enemy for hundreds of years. , They are gearing up and gradually recovering their vitality. Isn’t this more terrifying?"

"As for other things-whether I am ambitious or not, whether I want to disadvantage you, whether I want to tear up the co-governance vow, I can talk slowly."

Tludida and Olesiu, the two southern princes who are close to the stars, looked at each other and pondered.

Thyls felt anxious.

"Your Excellency the Black Sand!"

Thyls couldn't help but speak loudly, attracting everyone's attention!

"There are three fallacies in your words." Thales said coldly.

Rumba's expression choked.

The princes turned to the prince.

"Go on, Your Highness of the Stars," Trudida grabbed his beard, "What is your opinion?"

Thyls sighed, rubbed his face, and organized his thoughts: "First, you compare the threat of the stars with the trap in your proposal."

Everyone frowned slightly.

"Your Excellencies."

"When he told you examples of stars, and told you what Mindis III and his successors have done in more than a hundred years?" Thales took a deep breath and said solemnly. : "You really should feel a deep fear."

Rumba was taken aback for a moment, wondering why he had to support his argument.

"But the fear does not come from the fear of the enemy country." Before the princes questioned, Thales asked and answered himself, and the conversation turned: "It comes from pure, inner vigilance and panic."

He took a step forward and hung the dagger back to his waist, revealing the heaviest gray expression the prince knew.

"This is no longer the broken pieces of struggle in knight novels, and no longer the short-sighted political skills of assassinating, framing, marrying, fighting for land, conquering, etc., back and forth by brain-dead nobles." Thiel Si whispered in a low tone, trying to enhance the atmosphere.

Tludida squinted his eyes and said, "The mouse is short-sighted?"

Grand Duke Olesiu snorted dissatisfiedly.

"I have no intention of offending, but," Thales gritted his teeth: "But what Xianjun did is no longer in the above category."

He raised his head: "It's the ruler sitting on the throne. It was he who choked the throats of the vassals silently, and then step by step, little by little, inch by inch, slowly and faintly but never Tighten the hand of power in a pause."

The princes listened quietly.

"He will smile and use the gradually spreading but unstoppable gentle flood to submerge the status, power, wealth, and privileges of the vassals, and the lord who has given power to the famous party for a while, one by one, one family, all suffocating. In the long river of history, the ashes have disappeared and will never stand up."

"Power flows slowly and silently in his chess game, and history rolls forward fiercely between his fingers." Thales imagined the amiable middle-aged king in the portrait, and suddenly came into his heart. A shuddering feeling.

"This kind of road, this kind of change, this kind of threat, once it starts, whether you notice it or not, it is no longer in the category that the lords can control, not the struggle and contradiction you are familiar with," Tai Speaks hard:

"Even if you put 10,000 extreme swordsmen in the palace, even if you build a high iron wall in the city that goes straight into the clouds, even if you dig out a moat that floods hundreds of miles outside the city, even if you are on the battlefield. Won hundreds of thousands of battles, even with rare wisdom and strategy to defeat countless powerful and terrible enemies, even winning the fame and prestige that no one in the world can match, even the legendary dragons and disasters are not day and night. Guarding the rest by the pillow......"

"It can't stop this trend, it can't stop your destined decline and ruin."

The expressions of the princes became solemn.

Rumba clenched his teeth.

"Facing it, no matter how great, strong, and boundless power is, it is just a joke."

"So, the scary thing is not the threat, but you know where the threat is," Thales said grimly: "But there is still nothing you can do, you can only wait for destruction."

The faces of the princes all changed.

"Once you think of this threat happening behind you, do you have to agree to Rumba and go hand in hand with him on such a path?"

"Enough," Rumba said decisively, interrupting Thales angrily: "I am fed up with your baseless clamor and bewitching, kid."

He strode towards Thales.

The prince was agitated, and Selma turned pale.

But Rumba only walked halfway, and Duke Ronnie appeared in front of Thales.

"Stay back, Rumba," Ronnie knocked on the hilt of his waist, his expression cold: "I haven't compared swords with you, but I'm happy to try it."

Rumba's expression froze.

"Northlander," Grand Duke Lecco said softly, "Don't act like a low-level **** who just vents his hatred by killing the whole family."

Tyles just took a big breath, soothing his tension.

"Your second fallacy, Rumba," Thales forced himself to continue: "Do you think what I said is baseless?"

"No," Thales said hardly: "The Star Kingdom is the best example."

The princes' eyes condensed.

"Everyone, how did Rumba exaggerate the national power and strength of the stars with you, and speak of our threat?" Thales turned around, intentionally or unconsciously pulled Selma to the other princes, "In his depiction, has the Star Kingdom become a giant dragon that only takes one step into the sky?"

"I don’t know how you know the geometry of stars, but what I want to tell you next is to guard the dukes and emperors—that is, the news circulated among the six giants and thirteen noble families, perhaps the truth. , Maybe it’s a rumor."

"On the day I left Wing Star City and embarked on this unlucky journey," Thales gritted his teeth in the eyes of several princes. "An unexpected person came to me and told I..."

The figure of Duke Cyclops appeared in front of Thales.

"In the Star Kingdom, the East China Sea Territory, Sun Sword and Shield's Cullen has become a tortoise with a shrunken head, and he is only a no-nonsense to the royal family; Falkenhauser of the West Desert is leaning on the western front, struggling to support the four-eyed skull banner ; South Bank collar, Iris Kevin Deere’s inheritance genealogy is erratic, and two baronies were confiscated by the royal family a few days ago; the blade collar, the blood moon Duchess of Tebuck has fallen to the point where it cannot survive without the royal family; The giant horned deer in Yadi was driven to a dead end and had to fight back."

The expressions of the princes changed. They were surprised, thoughtful, questioning, and various emotions.

"And the Northern Territory you are most familiar with, the imperial giant that has been enemies with Lombard for generations, Aaron of the White Eagle, has long since been revealed in the conspiracy, and under the heavy fist of the royal power, has become a vassal of the royal family."

"This is just the six most beautiful giants, the thirteen noble families below, and the traditional aristocrats below. What did they experience when their power and status were deprived?"

"You want evidence? The stars are your evidence!" Thales said loudly: "Look at our current situation! The country is chaos at the meeting, do you think it's just acting?"

Rumba closed his eyes and clenched his fists tightly.

"However, this is far from the end," Thales looked at the expressions of the princes, and said heavily: "They, those deprived will not give up and wait for death, but secretly wait for an opportunity and fight back. ——Do you think that Aaron only wanted the throne on a whim!"

He took a step forward, opened the clothes on his chest, revealing the scar burned by Quaid, gritted his teeth and said: "Since I was retrieved, I have experienced countless assassinations and conspiracies. You can smell the faint tension and blood in the Fuxing Palace!"

Selma covered her mouth and looked at the scar on his chest in surprise.

Tludida whistled, while Olesiu folded his arms.

Grand Duke Lecco looked serious.

"Nineteen nobles are only the representatives of them-this kind of dissatisfaction will not be limited to the vassals and nobles, but spread to the whole country, and all the affected people become uncontrollable riots and dissatisfaction."

"The **** struggle of this kind of struggle has never ended, it just dormant quietly, and it will even break out again one day, until the final outcome is determined." Thales said coldly.

"The game of Mindis III ushered in a climax after more than a hundred years," the prince turned his head, his tone firm: "And I can tell you for sure: The Star Kingdom is in the darkest moment, the most dangerous On the edge of the world, the contradiction between the new order and the old blood..."

Speaking of this, Telston gave a moment, his eyes condensed.

A terrible thought instantly climbed into his mind.

The darkest...

The most dangerous...

New order.

Old blood.

At that moment, Thales opened his mouth, his face full of consternation.

His hands trembled slightly.

No way?

"What's the matter?" Olesiu said impatiently: "Are you stuck?"

Under Selma's pull, the prince recovered, but still couldn't calm the panic in his heart.

But he tried his best to contain his emotions and press his lips.

"This is your third fallacy, Rumba," Thales suppressed the question in his heart, and said with difficulty: "You think the confusion and weakness of the stars are only temporary. Once we recover, we can return At the peak, can you be invincible to Xilu?"

"No."

"Just as there is no change without cost," Thales gasped, "there is no change without risk."

"The decline of the nobility is the price, and their counterattack is the risk the stars face"

Speaking of this moment, the expressions of the princes are already wonderful-among them, even Rumba frowned.

"The current weakness and turbulence of the stars are not accidental, but the inevitable after taking this path," Thales said, reasoning, and was shocked by his new guess: "This is Xianjun for the stars. Things left behind."

He was pale and in a trance, remembering the words left by the Cyclops.

Selma looked at him worriedly.

"I don't know how long the stars can support, where this country will go, and what kind of results it will usher in," the prince said aloud, without any purpose for the first time, sincere And truly opened his mouth: "Is it fragmented, or is it all suffering."

"I only know that in this torrent, whether I or King Kessel, whether it is the six giants or the thirteen noble families, we are all trembling and precarious."

That's it.

Whether it’s true or not-Thales convinced himself~IndoMTL.com~ at least...

At least it is enough to convince them and shake them.

"And in this torrent, the biggest and most terrifying wave..." Thales gritted his teeth and pressed his hand to his chest.

There is a map given to him by King Nunn.

"You should have heard of it."

The princes looked at each other, with doubts in their eyes.

"Yes," Thales was breathing in pain before the eyes of the princes, and among countless memories and clues, he said the answer he just guessed:

"Everyone lost in that tragedy. There was almost no winner."

The Star Tomb of Fuxing Palace appeared in front of Thales. There were countless large and small stone jars and stone urns, and the girl duke of the Tebuck family appeared. In the stunned eyes of the princes, unconsciously Whispered:

"The Scarlet Year."
