The news of the destruction of the Arubanian fleet was a blow to Zelda, as he seemed to see the only door in front of him rumble shut, cutting off his future completely. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

What to do now, Zelda kept asking herself in her heart, but there was nothing she could do. Now that the fortress of Baroud is besieged by the Palchi army, the only possible waterway to escape has lost hope, and there is no way to talk about reinforcements, so the fall of the fortress of Baroud is only a matter of time, and the next thing to solve is what to do if the fortress loses Prince Gilmus?

Yaki's royal family has been wiped out by Li Tianhao, and Gilmus is the only remaining prince, so his existence has become all the hope of Yaji's recovery. Zelda didn't dare to imagine what would happen to Gilmus after the fall of the fortress, maybe he would take the initiative to surrender to Li Tianhao when he still had the strength to spare, and then protect the life of Prince Gilmus? No, no, once disarmed, Gilmus will become a fish on the chopping block, Li Tianhao's promise is the only thing that can be relied on, but this guy's hatred for the Yaki royal family cannot be measured by his past performance.

While Zelda was at a loss for what to do, Gilmus sent for him to discuss important matters.

Knowing what Gilmus was negotiating, and that he had no solution to it, Zelda still set out - even if he didn't have the ability, at least he should bear the outcome with Gilmus.

As Zelda expected, Gilmus looked very depressed, but His Royal Highness did not ask him directly about what to do, but just looked out the window with his hands behind his back.

"Lord Zelda, how long do you think we can hold out with our current strength?" Although there was a slight disagreement with Zelda's thoughts, Gilmus asked his question anyway.

"Well, with our current food reserves, it's about a year or so." Zelda's answer evades some other objective factors.

Gilmus looked back at him and whispered, "But our forces can't withstand a year's attrition, and people's hearts are even more fragile. Right? ”

Zelda was stunned, he didn't want to tell the prince the truth, but the prince had apparently learned to judge things independently.

Gilmus slowly returned to his seat and said lightly: "If the fortress of Baroud is a fortress that cannot be attacked, and we have enough troops and food reserves, and the Palchi army will be forced to live under the city for many months, maybe we may wait until there are problems within the enemy army." Unfortunately, we won't have that much time, and the problems within the enemy army are not so intense. So, the fall of the fortress of Baroud is inevitable, do you agree with me, my lord? ”

“?????? The subordinates are incompetent, and they really have no shame to face His Highness. Zelda choked up.

Gilmus shook his head and smiled, "My lord, I'm not accusing you of anything. Li Tianhao is a figure who can raise an army with a bandit and finally destroy two countries, and it is too reluctant to confront him with your and mine. ”

"No, Your Highness. Your Highness, you are a natural king, as long as you can take time, you will definitely become a king who dominates the party! ”

Listening to Zelda's words, Gilmus smiled bitterly a few times and said, "I'm afraid it's because of your expectations that I have this kind of false name." ”

Zelda stammered again. He suddenly realized that he had made a major mistake, precisely because he hoped to use Gilmus's genius to win people's hearts, but he ended up giving the twelve-year-old boy too much burden and reputation, and this reputation would harm Gilmus after the defeat, because Li Tianhao could not tolerate a genius Prince Aki alive, which was simply an excellent prop for the Aki people to rebel against Palci's rule.

Gilmus took a sip from the glass in front of him, and then said, "Lord Zelda, I want to ask you for something. ”

"Your Highness, please."

"My men have done their duty to fight for me, and there is no need for them to lose their lives in a war that is sure to be lost. I want you to lead the people to surrender to Li Tianhao, but you must ensure that no one of us will be killed by the Palchi army for surrendering. ”

Zelda was shocked, because he clearly realized that Gilmus did not count himself among our personnel, and he immediately asked, "Your Highness, ?????? Aren't you going to surrender to Palch personally? ”

"How can I bow my knee to the enemy country that killed all the members of the royal family? And I don't think Li Tianhao will let me go. So I decided to cut myself before you surrender. ”

"Your Highness, you must not do this!" Zelda hurriedly said: "Even if you give up resistance, your subordinates will definitely find a way to escort Your Highness to a safe place!" Please rest assured, Your Highness! ”

"No need, sir. It doesn't have to be so troublesome. Gilmus said indifferently: "No matter where he flees, Li Tianhao will not give up." And I don't have the right to ask for more people to die for me. ”

"Your Highness, you can't give up hope!"

"Lord Zelda, to be honest, Yaki has been dead for as long as I can remember, and I can't even remember what Yaggi was like before I set foot on that land the last time I set foot on it. And I have fought for this country with no memory to this day, and I should perhaps say that I did it with the expectations of all of you. Actually, I don't want to do it, I just can't resist my fate. Now I want to make a decision for myself, in this life, a decision that will save you. Please forgive me for being selfish, and I apologize for disappointing your expectations and your cultivation over the years. The glass of wine I drank just now has been poisoned, and there is no turning back for you. ”

"What! Your Highness, spit out the wine! Zelda no longer cared about the courtesy of the monarch at this time, and rushed forward in a few steps to induce vomiting for Gilmus.

Gilmus dodged in a flash, and with his current skills, if he didn't want Zelda to get close, Zelda really couldn't get it right away.

"Your Excellency, you haven't promised me anything to ask you for. Can you promise me? Gilmus frowned as he spoke, the pain in his stomach had begun to spread throughout his body, and he had to hold on to the back of his chair to continue standing.

"Yes?????? The subordinates will definitely complete the entrustment of His Highness! Zelda didn't know when tears had flowed all over her face.

Gilmus squeezed out a smile and said, "Thank you, thank you for everything you've done so far." ”

Gilmus said as he slowly slid towards the ground, where Zelda had hugged His Royal Highness before he fell to the ground. At this time, Zelda could no longer cry, but Gilmus could no longer make a voice to respond to his loyal servant.

Two minutes later, Gilmus died.
