Chapter 435: The Hot Throne

Under Darryl's repeated assurances, Dylan glanced at the exhausted soldiers behind him again, and then nodded in agreement.

Now that the large forces have converged and have almost reached the border of Chongjiang Province, there should not be much of a problem.

In the middle of the night, Dylan didn't rest, after all, such a large team needed to rest, and he really couldn't sleep peacefully. It wasn't until the second half of the night that the arrival of the "Knights of Time and Space" completely relaxed Dylan's tense heartstrings.

In this way, even if the Garneman army chooses to attack at night, the "Knights of Time and Space" can use the magic of the space-time system to buy the most critical time for themselves.

And he was really tired during this time, and in the previous battle, he consumed a lot of mental strength, making his already tired body even more weak, and he really needed a sufficient sleep to relieve the double fatigue of body and spirit.

So, just a few minutes after lying down, Dylan quickly fell into a deep sleep.

By the time he woke up, it was already dawn, the eastern sky was already bright red, and the sun was about to rise.

Dylan walked to the top of the hill, looked to the east, and using the dragons' reconnaissance skills, he found that there were no suspicious targets within a hundred miles, and then he took a long breath and came to Darryl, who was on the night watch.

"Look at you like this, you probably haven't slept all night, do you need to take a break before you go?" asked Dylan with concern.

Daryl smiled indifferently: "I've been used to it all these years! The battle with the giant clan on the Great Wall of Flint often lasts two or three days, if I rest, then who will command?"

Dylan asked with some curiosity, "I've often heard you talk about the Great Wall of Fire and the Giants, can you tell me about the situation?" ”

Daryl looked at the giant axe in his hand: "This great axe has been following me for many years, and my father himself forged it for me. My father's intention was obvious, he wanted me to protect our empire. ”

Dylan looked dazed, and Daryl's answer was not what he asked, which made him a little confused.

There was a look of remembrance in Daryl's eyes: "Speaking of which, I have been guarding the Gomore Kingdom for so many years, and my father's senses for me still haven't changed much. On the contrary, for a son who has not been home for more than ten years, he has always been obsessed. ”

Dylan knew that the person Darryl was talking about should be his teacher, Rick Spirits.

After the Battle of the Dragonslayer, Rick chose to stay in the City of Light instead of returning to the Kingdom of Gomore.

Daryl looked a little lonely: "For so many years, no matter how good I do, in the eyes of my father, it seems that I will never be able to compare with my younger brother." Even if I have great achievements, even if I have a high prestige. ”

"In his opinion, I can only be a qualified general, not a qualified king, and he said that I am too angry and murderous to be the lord of a country, because that would bring disaster to the kingdom of Gomor. ”

Hearing this, Dylan's face changed completely, and he really didn't understand, why did Daryl mention this to himself?

Darryl ignored Dylan's anomaly and continued: "I actually have resentment and jealousy in my heart. But I kept it down, and then when I got to the battlefield, I took all my anger and resentment out on the enemy. ”

As he spoke, Daryl gently stroked the giant axe in his hand: "My axes have killed countless giants! ”

Dylan saw that there was an abnormal light in Daryl's eyes, a kind of calmness that was indifferent to life, death, and everything.

Dylan couldn't help but ask, "Then do you want to be king?"

Daryl shook his head without hesitation: "No, not interested at all." ”

Dylan was slightly stunned, he originally thought that Daryl should really want to be the king of the dwarven kingdom, otherwise how could there be so many complaints?

saw a simple smile appear on Daryl's face: "What's so good about being a king, there will always be all kinds of troubles, and you need to manage an entire kingdom well, it's too tiring." ”

Darryl smiled and turned his head to look at Dylan, "Do you think what I said is a bit inconsistent? I'm obviously so unconvinced by Rick, why don't I want to be king?"

Daryl laughed out loud this time: "Actually, all I need is a word of affirmation from my father." ”

Dylan was a little surprised: "It's that simple?"

Daryl nodded, "Yes, it's as simple as that. In fact, I know very well that I am not suitable to be a king at all, I am only suitable to go into battle and kill the enemy. But I wanted to be recognized, especially my father. ”

"Even if he told me that my brother and I had a chance to be kings, I would be very happy. In fact, even if my father wanted to pass the throne to me, I would flatly refuse it, because I knew very well that it didn't mean anything to me, and I didn't fit in. ”

After saying this, Daryl looked at Dylan with a smile: "Do you think it's strange, why am I mentioning this to you?"

Dylan blinked, waiting for an answer.

But Daryl explained, "Because you're Rick's only student, and you're his doted successor." There are some things that I can't tell him directly. I'm telling you this just to make him understand that I'm not going to fight him for the throne, and he doesn't have to worry. ”

Dylan looked embarrassed and said, "In my opinion, it seems that the teacher is not the material to be a king!"

Daryl burst out laughing, "Do you think so too?" Hahaha, I actually think so too. However, this position belongs to him, and I will not fight for it. ”

"As for the Great Wall of Fire and the Giants, you can go there by yourself, and everything will be clear when you see it, and if you want me to explain slowly, it's too tiring!"

With that, Daryl left on his own.

Dylan was a little speechless, the princes of other empires would fight each other for a throne, and some would even kill each other, but in this Gomore Kingdom, no one wants to sit on the throne of the king, which is really weird.

However, in this way, the Gomore Kingdom avoided the tragedy of fratricide, and whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for the Gomore Kingdom?

Not long after the army departed, Dylan received a secret letter from Tarona, addressed to the Shadow Mage.

It's just that at this time, this spy was seriously injured, and one of his left arms was missing!!

Dylan looked at the Brotherhood agent who had been holding on, and his heart was full of anger and heartache.

It turned out that in the process of delivering the letter, this secret agent was still pursued by the devil! In the end, he bought back his life at the cost of an arm.
