[Comprehensive Fairy Tale] The Uncrowned King

Samuel was sitting in the combat conference room, listening to the generals of the expeditionary army talking eloquently about the next battle plan, the various arms, tactical arrangements, and what strategies they used. Drowsy due to the background sound of the fierce debate, only supported by his trained manners. In the eyes of others, Shengzi's waist is straight, his eyes are lowered, and his expression is solemn and solemn, which makes their eyes As soon as he stared at him, his voice subconsciously lowered, unaware that Samuel was pretending.

This war really doesn't use him, as expected he is not taking the path of a normal protagonist.If the protagonist wants to lead the war, he can only sit on the stool and smile coldly, part of his heart complains about his uselessness, while the other part is rejoicing.

——It’s great, you don’t have to face the war directly, you don’t need to know how many people die and how many families you break up with each order you issue, you can also have illusions, thinking that the hateful eyes of the locals in the occupied areas are not against oneself.

Self-deception comes in handy at this time.

"My lord, we plan to attack Crote, the capital of Heinedil, in a week's time. Please also pray and bless our soldiers tomorrow."

Samuel nodded reservedly and agreed gracefully, hiding the ups and downs in his heart.

The capital of Heinedir is not in the center of the country, but on the edge of a strait. In the past, this location was naturally good, provided that Derek was their ally.But now, since the army of the single god region occupied part of their border territory, the location of the capital is too close to the enemy, and the expeditionary army heard that the royal family planned to retreat to the rear and hand over the front line to the soldiers. Taking advantage of the fact that the capital, Croat, was greatly reduced with the migration of the royal family, they occupied the capital in one go, so as to deal a severe blow to their morale.

This idea is good, and the generals of the expeditionary army have deliberated many times, but Samuel felt that it was not so easy.The current king of Heinedir, Paliulius, is not so timid. He has long known the idea of ​​​​invading the single god area, and he must have made a lot of preparations in advance. trap.

But whether it's true or a trap, it's not Samuel's business.How developed the modern society is, there are many wars, let alone this time.Samuel was in charge of the rear.

On the second day, Samuel was dressed in a grand holy son to serve. The top and bottom of the clothes were pure white, and the characters in the book of Shenyin were embroidered on them with dark embroidery threads, which were faintly visible in the sunlight.Because he is a spiritual representative, more than half of the holy son's exclusive carriage is filled with the holy son's costumes and decorations for various occasions. Wearing them against his blond hair and blue eyes really makes him look more holy.

Samuel began to mutter.The course of what the Holy Son should say on various occasions is the most important thing that the Holy Son learns. For Samuel, it is like a composition template, just follow it.When he spoke, all the soldiers were silent, only the eyes were shining, all focused on him, and Samuel had long been immune to this high-intensity gaze.

After the speech, he emphasized the need to treat the people of the polytheistic area well, saying that these are future believers, and it is not allowed to take benefits from them. Fortunately, the Holy Son's words are still very effective, although they are somewhat disapproving. , but agreed.

Then Samuel went to inspect the temporary church here.The temporary church requisitioned the private residence of the original castellan, and the repair was no worse than that of the castellan's mansion.With the arrival of the expeditionary army, there are many priests with combat effectiveness. Every time they occupy a place, they will leave a priest to preach, and this belongs to Samuel, so he has to watch the priest treat a group of unwilling people in the temporary church. The natives who had been forcibly brought over preached while giving speeches again.

...And so Samuel spent his first day back as a leader.

The feeling is, boring, unusually boring.

It's not as interesting as being in the wild before. Samuel was bored, resting his chin, sitting in his room watching the marching map, and suddenly wanted to go to Clothes to find Coleridge.

This idea is not impossible. Although the two sides have opposing positions, Samuel believes that Coleridge knows his intentions and should not refuse to see him, and he also wants to talk to Coleridge.After bidding farewell to Coleridge, many things happened to him. Although he would not tell him all of them, he always wanted to talk to the friends he thought. It had nothing to do with the war situation, but just friendship.

Samuel went out and explained to the general, saying that he seemed to have comprehended, and planned to meditate in the room for a few days, do not disturb him these days, and there is no need to bring food.Accepting their admiring gazes, Samuel Shi Shiran carried Xiaohua and Edwin to Crote City, and remained invisible the whole time.

Croat has entered the highest level of pre-war martial law, and guards stand everywhere, but as far as Samuel sees, the atmosphere in the city is not bad, at least the businessmen still come out to do business as usual, and the people walking around are also carrying Smiling, as if not worried about the siege in a few days.Combat in this era is considered open and aboveboard, especially for the conquest army who consider themselves righteous and represent the will of God. Their gauntlet has already come down, but the atmosphere in Clot City is such that it is obvious that Paliulius has a plan.

Samuel didn't look at it much, or even think about it.He waited for both sides to fight until they were exhausted, until they could no longer fight, before making peace. Otherwise, no matter which side had the hope of winning, the two sides would not stop fighting. This was driven by human desire and ambition.

Samuel turned back to the gate of the city, found the underground passage he escaped from, and entered Crott's underground escape passage again.This time, he stopped looking at it nervously, and Samuel couldn't help admiring the underground world. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an underground city, with a grand scale and excellent production.He wanted to use his spiritual power to search for Coleridge, but found that all the spiritual power he released was absorbed by the walls that made up the dungeon. He immediately understood that this was the emperor who built the escape hatch before, and he was afraid that those with abilities would find them. Special anti-detection material only used.

Now it's time to go.There are many forks in this dungeon, each leading to a different place. Samuel couldn't remember it at the beginning, and it's even more impossible now. After walking for a while, he got lost.He remembered that Coleridge said that the sound insulation here is very good, so he directly made a sound for him to spread around, while he stayed where he was, hoping that Coleridge would hear it and come to him again.

Fortunately, Samuel was lucky, and after a while he heard slight footsteps, turned around, and then Coleridge walked in front of him.

At first glance, in the dim candlelight, Coleridge still looks the same, too, it's only been a year, how could anything have changed?But after taking a closer look, Samuel discovered that the former prince had actually changed a lot.

Coleridge had been handsome, handsome and charming.In fact, this kind of praise is very cliché, but he can set off these words very well.It's not that he's unattractive now, it's just that his long, light gray hair is now dull in color, and his facial features are also pale and hollow because he hasn't seen the sun for a long time, but his pupils are getting brighter and brighter. Unknown, with this environment, it looks like a dark creature like a ghost, but it seems that he has a strange charm.

"I knew it was you." He smiled slightly.It was really "Wei Wei", very light and light, which made Samuel understand that he was smiling, so he took the smile back.

Samuel felt a little uncomfortable, as if seeing Cinderella escaped from the ball again, and he saw Coleridge's weirdness outside.

Samuel secretly vigilant.Although he is still naive, he is no longer credulous, let alone die so miserable like the cannon fodder in ghost movies who doesn't believe in his intuition.

"How can you be so sure it's me?"

He also responded with a smile, but his smile was big and he looked a little silly.

"I only told you here, except that, no one else will come to me again."

Coleridge stopped two steps away from Samuel, and the two looked at each other.Samuel felt that he should not have shown anything unusual, his fingers were not clenched, and he was not thinking about clenching the hilt of the sword. The smile should also be a sincere smile, but Coleridge saw it right away and said bluntly Come out, with a naive doubtful tone:

"Samuel, what's the matter? We haven't seen each other for a long time, why do you look so afraid of me?"

Listening to this aggrieved voice, Samuel made himself more relaxed:

"No, I just saw you coming here from the darkness suddenly, and the light and shadow effect scared me."

"Ha, I have changed a lot too. Since I hid here, I have never returned to the ground, and I have never seen daylight. Sometimes I feel that I am as dark and invisible as a mouse, and even when I see You feel so jealous. By the way, I haven't congratulated you on becoming the Holy Son yet, but as soon as the news comes, I will be happy for you."

"You knew already?"

"Of course, there's nothing I don't know. Since I plan to live here for a long time, I've been a gopher and dug the hole myself. I also opened up the lower chamber of Paliulius. When he was discussing political affairs with ministers I just hid below and listened, so I naturally know about your becoming the Holy Son."

"Ha ha……"

Samuel didn't know what to say, grabbed his hair in embarrassment, and laughed twice.He regretted coming to meet Coleridge on a whim, no matter what he was thinking, anyway, the feeling of getting along now was hard to resist.
