Chapter 263 The Fate(1/3)
"We are very excited, very excited."
Kaslan coughed, remembering the past years like the most ordinary old man: "We, including little Lisban, all have the same ideals, and we are also tired of the grudges between families, and between territories.
blame."
"So that's how it started," Kaslan looked at the stone pillar that Nikolai was leaning against, and said in a sad tone: "You can't imagine what we have gone through for decades around Nunn for Exeter.
.”
Nicolai raised his head unconsciously and looked at the ceiling.
"It was just a small matter at first: consolidating the prince's authority and power, protecting the endangered families loyal to the prince, and punishing the vassals who had enriched their own pockets." The old man's eyes flashed with a strange light: "Break the convention of the White Blade Guards and select some people of unknown origin.
Highly qualified candidates to train Nunn for a guard that is only loyal to him and has no family worries. The candidates include you, Big Mouth, Byrne, and Isaiah. You were all recruited by me at that time."
At that moment, Nicolai's breathing was stagnant, and the words he was biting in his mouth almost blurted out.
The day he was recruited into the Blade Guard
boss
"Everything is prepared for a future king to realize his ambitions."
Kaslan's face darkened and his tone changed:
"But as Nunn ascended to the throne, things began to change."
"His enemies are becoming more and more numerous and stronger. He needs a sharper knife and a stronger shield."
"My tasks are becoming more and more unscrupulous and have no bottom line. From chasing criminals, to extorting political opponents, kidnapping children, to forging crimes to frame opponents, and even burning down the barns where farmers spend the winter."
Nicolai clenched his fists and suppressed the emotions in his heart.
He paid attention to Kaslan's shadow in the firelight, and his eyes kept wandering around the weapon racks, trying to find a way to get rid of the threat of the opponent's javelin.
My accuracy is not as good as his, so I can't compete with him in javelin at long range.
I need to
"Yes, the cooperative relationship between Mrs. Kassan and me and the Dark Room is much closer than you think," Kaslan said sadly, his attention always focused behind the stone pillar. "There are many other things that Nunn doesn't want the Dark Room to interfere with."
, it will be left to us to handle.”
"I once escorted the doctor to Wellandland overnight so that he could poison the heir of Archduke Alessio."
"As the king's emissary, I once incited the vassals of Qiyuan City to rebel against their lords and find reasons for Longxiao City to intervene."
"I even pretended to be a robber and robbed and killed the nobles who were dissatisfied with the king. From the male master to the female family members, I spared no one except an ignorant girl."
"I also secretly turned against my nephew Harold and persuaded him to turn to Nunn, even if it might jeopardize his relationship with his father."
Kaslan closed his eyes and felt a tightness in his chest.
What he didn't expect was that in the end, Holt would be so cruel as to let his two sons kill each other to get rid of Nunn's control.
"So," Nicolai snorted, "This is why the Scarlet Witch always wants to pry something out of me and the White Blade Guard."
Kaslan sighed.
"I tried to convince myself that this was for Exeter," Kaslan said painfully: "For the sake of ideals, I can even leave my family behind, not to mention my own honor and conscience?"
"Under the sun, I am a sword-wielding commander who leads by example, is glorious and majestic, and is admired by thousands of people." The old man endured the severe pain in his chest with every breath. "In the shadow, I am as stone-hearted, unscrupulous and ruthless."
The king's killer, with the earliest members of the guard, is doing the dirtiest and most secretive deeds."
"You once said that you saw through my extremely hypocritical noble face," Kaslan whispered: "You are right, I am not worthy to stand in front of you and lecture you as a commander."
A cold question came from behind the stone pillar: "Why?"
Kaslan closed his eyes.
"Nun has changed," Kaslan knew what he wanted to ask and sighed regretfully: "He has grown old and has become suspicious, vigilant, sensitive, selfish, and conservative."
"For a new Exter, Nunn must control powerful power. This is a necessary means." Kaslan clenched the javelin in his hand with complicated eyes: "But, I don't know when, the means have changed.
It has become a purpose, but the original purpose has long been forgotten.”
"We eat to live, prick our heads, but we shouldn't live to eat." His tone became more and more painful.
"The longer he became king, the more he cared about the status of Longxiao City more than the power of Exeter, and the inheritance of his son more than the future of the kingdom. Nunn became the most traditional Exeter.
A special monarch. Apart from his family and rule, he has no power and no intention to find the ideal he once had."
"Controlling power has become Nunn's only goal, and 'for Exeter' has become a pale excuse." Kaslan observed every place where Nikolai might rush out, and took the shadow behind the opponent's stone pillar.
Locked in the field of vision, patiently waiting for the opponent: "This makes everything we have done in the past few decades look like a joke."
Nicolai sneered.
"You know, what you are doing now," Meteor Man suppressed his anger and tried his best to sound nonchalant: "makes everything you once taught us look like a joke."
Kaslan paused for a second, his face mixed with imperceptible guilt and pain.
"So I'm tired."
"I quit, I gave up," the old man exhaled and shook his head: "That day I stood at the foot of the steps and asked him for the last time in front of all his subordinates: Do you still remember your original ideal? I asked
Him: Since when did he have no choice but to compromise with reality?"
Nicolai said nothing.
"You all know what happened later," Kaslan said with a touch of sadness: "King Gongju was furious, and a large number of old people and I were kicked out of the White Blade Guard."
silence.
The brazier burned brighter and hotter, reflecting the shadows of the two people on both sides of the stone pillar.
"Yes," Nicolai took a deep breath, seeming to be in pain: "And I was promoted exceptionally and became the acting commander of the White Blade Guards."
Before he finished speaking, the next moment, the meteorite suddenly burst out from behind the stone pillar!
The fighting started again without warning.
Kaslan did not hesitate and threw the javelin accurately and sharply.
The incredibly powerful javelin shot through the enemy's body.
"Dang!"
Pin him to the ground!
However, Kaslan, who was experienced and had been observing the opponent's shadow, immediately realized that something was wrong. It was only Nikolai's chest leather armor that was hit by the javelin.
The real meteorite jumped out from the other side of the stone pillar, wearing thin armor and almost no protection!
Kaslan reacted very quickly and saw the gap between Nikolai's injured leg landing, and shot the second javelin without any delay!
The meteorite man felt a chill in his heart when he heard the sound of wind in his ears.
It's over.
Couldn't fool him.
At this moment.
"Nicolai!" A familiar voice sounded.
Nicolai looked up suddenly and saw a round disk-shaped object flying towards him!
Meteorite didn't hesitate, the power of termination exploded, his feet bent incredibly, and he caught the object in mid-air.
The javelin strikes.
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound.
Kaslan's pupils shrank.
His javelin struck the plate in Nikolai's hand, a round shield covered with thick wood.
The tip of the spear pierced the shield, nearly piercing it, and Nicolai's hand sank.
The Fallen Star gritted his teeth, pulled out the javelin from his shield, and held it in his right hand.
But Kaslan had no time to pay attention to Nikolai. He turned around solemnly and looked at Nikolai's helpers warily.
"Byn," Kaslan frowned, but a trace of nostalgia appeared in his eyes: "Long time no see."
But as a former White Blade Guard and King's officer, Bainmeike, standing at the door of the weapons depot, obviously didn't like to respond to the enthusiasm of his old boss.
"Sorry, boss, it's not that I don't want to reminisce about old times," said Michael in the distance with a heavy face. He took two short-handled throwing axes from the weapon rack and waved his arms violently: "But I just saw my own
daughter"
"I'm in a bad mood now!"
Kaslan's expression changed, and the javelin was shot almost at the same time as Michael's two throwing axes!
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Javelins and throwing axes crisscrossed in the air!
"laugh!"
Although he tried his best to avoid it, Michael was still stabbed in the thigh by Kaslan's javelin. He fell into a row of weapon racks in severe pain.
