Chapter 2: Don't be afraid of any difficulties

"This ...... Could it be ...... Have you been inspired by the god of the sun?"

The old minister was so excited that his knees were a little disobedient: the god of the sun was the god worshiped by the entire Blazing Sun Kingdom, and almost everyone believed in its divine power;

"At that time, I was in a hazy consciousness......"

Eddie narrowed his eyes and looked up at the sky in the distance thirty degrees, quite lamenting the vicissitudes of the world;

"Suddenly, a solemn voice woke me up from the endless chaos;

The voice told me 'I can't stop yet';

What's even more amazing is that I feel like a layer of 'fog' in my mind has been broken......

Presumably, this is a miracle. ”

"Miracles, you're right, this is a miracle!" the old minister knelt down and kowtowed to Eddie a few times;

Soon, he straightened up again and slammed in the direction of the sun......

Look at his excited face...... Add was a little worried about if he would break his brain if he was trying so hard.

Phew, it seems that you don't have to worry about identity...... Add breathed a sigh of relief;

But be cautious - Add felt like he needed to know what was going on as soon as possible.

"Now, answer my question. ”

Add's voice was slightly questioning, pulling the old minister back from his praise of the sun,

"How bad has the situation become?

Why did you throw me into the water and drown!?"

In the face of Eddie's questioning, Lao Chen's mood dimmed like a burned-out oil lamp.

"Your Majesty...... Alas, the old minister is guilty, and the old minister deserves death......

In such a desperate situation, Lao Chen really couldn't think of a way to break the situation!

At this moment, letting His Majesty's body leave the world without trauma is already the best situation that the old minister can think of!"

The situation has become so bad that it is ...... At most, "leave a whole corpse"?Eddie's brow furrowed.

"The old minister admits that it was the old minister who pushed His Majesty into the pool of ignorance just now;" Gray Wrist continued,

"In order to ensure that you sink to the bottom, a large stone is tied to your right foot......"

Add recalls when he was in the water - there was indeed a heavy object that had been dragged down by himself.

"The old minister originally wanted to follow you......"

As he spoke, Greywrist glanced at the iron sword behind Eddie;

"But as soon as the old minister was about to make a move, you floated up......"

No wonder he had an iron sword around his neck at that moment...... Add nodded, motioning for him to continue.

"Your Majesty! The old minister made this decision, it was really forced by the situation! Please allow the old minister to explain to you——

When the capital was hit by the 'Starfall' catastrophe and more than half of it was destroyed, you were spared from suffering because you were cruising with your old ministers;

The Duke of Tiamat in the West, with his army in the capital, took power, and immediately proclaimed himself 'Regent', and ordered your whereabouts to be traced;

Person...... The tactics are ruthless, and the old minister is worried that something will happen to you when you return to the capital, so he has been taking you on the run for seven months.

During this time, your escort was either lost in panic or killed in battle...... Now only the old minister is left;

And this is the outskirts of Black Mud Town, the territory under the jurisdiction of Baron 'Blue Wolf'!

Yesterday, when the old minister took you to flee through the town of Black Mud, he was catching up with the baron's soldiers to check the passers-by;

Sensing that the situation is not good, the old minister tries to take you away......

However, those soldiers were sharp-eyed!

When they saw that there was a suspicious proceed here, they reported it to the baron, who sent dozens of soldiers to pursue us, and there were two or three knights in the ranks;

Judging by the shouts of those pursuers...... We were treated as fugitives by them!"

Something is wrong, is it necessary to send so many people since it is a "fugitive"?

"Look over there," said the old man, holding out his arm and pointing to the east:

"The old minister came from that path with His Majesty before, and that road leads to Black Mud Town, and the old minister took you to hide in the forest all night, but still couldn't get rid of them;"

Add glanced to the east—there was indeed a road;

Not...... I'll have to show him a trick or two to get him in good spirits...... Don't always think about dying.

With this thought, Add raised his hand and pointed along the road to the west:

"At this moment, there are other soldiers in the west who have received the news to intercept them?"

"This ...... How do you know?"

"When the old minister went to explore the road just now, he obviously tied His Majesty with a straw rope...... Ahem, move under the tree over there......

You...... I don't think you know?"

Wooden peg...... This word is used. Eddie was a little displeased, and usually this kind of word is not used by people......

"Obvious ...... In terms of our physical strength, we can't even run;" Eddie motioned to Gray Wrist to get up,

"If you weren't cornered, you, as a loyal member of the royal family, wouldn't have made such a decision. ”

Basic logical reasoning is just that.

"Alas, the old minister tied you with a straw rope, which is really undesirable!

Just three months ago, when you were on the run, you ran away near the site of the 'extermination', and you still don't know how you suffered from the 'radiation'......"

Extermination?

Radiation?

What are they? Is there something unique to this world? Like Starfall?

...... Anyway, it had nothing to do with the current critical situation, and Eddie felt that he should put it aside for a while;

That kind of thing, can it still be fatal?

"Grey Wrist, I order you to get up and describe the situation on the west side of the road. ”

Eddie's low, slightly threatening tone successfully interrupted the minister's self-reproach;

The latter staggered to his feet.

"Yes...... Your Majesty. About two miles to the west, a knight from Qiantang Village was leading several soldiers to intercept him;

Due to the relatively narrow terrain over there, it is almost impossible to cross it quietly.

As for the north and south sides, as you can see, this waterhole divides the south side, and to the north there is a rushing stream;

The pursuers would arrive in a little while, and even if they tried to hide in the forest, they only delayed for a while......"

...... It's not easy to do. Add pondered the situation;

It's no longer a headwind problem;

For example, the opposite side has already pushed to the crystal with the last knife left......

"Last night, the old minister was in a drowsiness, dreaming that a round of sunset was slowly setting and no longer saw the light, presumably it was also a god who foreshadowed that the royal family was exhausted, and this is the only time today that he was ruthless and pushed you into the pool......

Your Majesty, we can't let them catch you!"

Gray wrist wiped a handful of tears, and his expression was much more serious;

"If Your Majesty falls into the hands of a soldier and does not identify himself,

They will treat His Majesty as a fugitive, first humiliated, tortured, and finally hanged!

And if Your Majesty reveals himself to them, that is, shows the seal behind you, they will escort you to the capital......"

Add has compiled what is known so far:

The royal family of the Blazing Sun Kingdom has almost been wiped out, and now the power is held by the regent who has no blood relationship with him;

At this time, he was sent back and fell into his hands......

Thinking about what happened next, Eddie got goosebumps.

"You will become a puppet king with no real power;

Tiamat will first use your name to subdue the nobles who remain loyal to the crown;

At that time, there will be no more prestige left in the royal family;

You, as the last remaining royal bloodline, are also ......"

Eddie knew that it was the meat on the board, and people could cut it however they wanted......

It is estimated that eighty percent of them poured themselves a glass of poisoned wine after they ran out, and then announced to the public that the king died unexpectedly, and then usurped the throne, all in one go.

Add began to calculate: the current situation is "almost impossible to get out", and if he is caught, he will die if he does not reveal his identity, and if he reveals his identity...... will be tossed for a while and then die. Is this still a choice?

Of course, "dying on the spot with the old minister" does not deserve to be called an option at all...... The dream of the "sunset" he had was entirely caused by "thinking about the sun", and it was not a foreshadowing at all;

Then the next thing to do was decided—Eddie thought, taking a deep breath.

"Old minister...... He has long been favored by the royal family...... Failure to protect His Majesty is already a capital offense;

If His Majesty is mistaken for a thief, he will be humiliated, or even be treated as a puppet to bear the infamy through the ages...... That old minister is dead, under the nine springs, and I am sorry for the ancestors and ancestors!

More shameless...... See all the kings who came before you——!"

Grayfist spoke, crying out again, and to Eddie's uneasiness, his eyes began to aim at the iron sword behind Eddie:

"Your Majesty! Now there is really no way, the old minister can only choose this strategy! It is the same death, it is better to kill himself as soon as possible to save his name!"

With that, he began to walk towards the Iron Sword—but Add raised his arm and stopped him.

"Gray wrist, can you erase the infamy by cutting yourself off? That's the act of a coward!

No matter what difficulties we encounter, don't be afraid!"

Eddie felt that this sentence was quite appropriate, and of course, he didn't have time to give a full speech at this point.

At this moment, Eddie's demeanor was calm and serious—something that had never been seen in the Gray Wrist's memory.

"The royal family is in danger, if I die, who will be able to restore the prestige of the royal family!?

Gray Wrist had his mouth open, and a dry hiss came from his throat;

His eyes were full of reluctance, but what could he do?

With the physical fitness of the two of them, even an ordinary soldier can't beat them, how can it be possible to break through?

"You don't know the true purpose of last night's dream!" Eddie's voice jerked three points higher;

"The sunset does not mean that the royal family of the Blazing Sun Kingdom is about to die out completely at all—but that after the darkness, the new rising sun will surely replace the dim sunset to shine again in this world!

And I fell into the water and stood here again – a symbolic representation of the process!"

Grey Wrist was startled at this, and he realized that this was a more appropriate explanation for the dream! At the same time, Eddie's sense of majesty ...... This feeling of being inviolable......

The old minister felt that his knees were not obeying again.

"Something...... While we can't admit it openly, we can't deny it either. ”

Add said, turning back to pick up the iron sword, and took the scabbard from the gray wrist, which was already in tears;

"A living drummer, for example, is also worth more than a dead king. ”

Speaking of which...... This sentence seems to have been said by some emperor.

"Even if we do identify ourselves and are sent to the royal capital;

Then, on the way to the royal capital, we still have a chance to escape;

After escaping, it is not too late to seek a great cause. ”

Eddie's words completely opened the dead knot in the gray wrist's heart-

The previous situation was that the old minister had a mentally retarded man;

If you identify yourself to your pursuers and be sent to the royal capital, it will be almost impossible to escape on the way;

But...... What if it's an old minister and a wise and martial king!?

"Let's go, let's meet them!" Eddie strode toward the road to the west;

"Obey ——!"
