Thales is a Terran hero, there's no doubt about that.

For years, he led his army into the Abyss, killing hundreds of thousands of lizardmen and abyssal creatures, and he spearheaded the construction of the magnificent city of Thales, the largest fortress to guard the southern part of the Holy Land.

Thales' claim to be the messenger of the god of war in the mortal world is debatable.

It is true that he has won all battles, and his personal strength and military prowess are extremely strong, but the god of war has never sent a miracle that Thales is an oracle, and the archbishop of the temple of the god of war has never openly admitted this.

Those who love Thales naturally believe his claims, but there are always those who hate him who think that this is a mortal arrogant gibberish.

None of this mattered to Thales, who had already achieved fame and had unrivalled prestige among the Terrans, even King Alwyn was a point inferior to him.

After a while, he will reign in the southern part of the Holy Land, and the name of the kingdom has been decided, it will be called 'Gaulock', which means 'the land of the blessing of the god of war', and he will be the first king of the Gaulock Kingdom.

He had everything ready, the bishop of the Temple of the Goddess of Life in Thales City had agreed to crown him, and the bishops of the Temple of the Moon God and the Temple of the God of War would also appear together to recognize his royal power.

The approval of the gods established the legitimacy of his kingship, and at the same time, Thales's direct army also marched into the city, mastering every important checkpoint to prevent any accidents.

This army is called the Victorious Army, with 10,000 men, which was cultivated by Thales himself step by step, and each warrior has experienced a hundred battles, and they are all warriors who have crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood. And absolutely loyal to them.

The soldiers will monitor all mercenaries, adventurers, killers, and rangers with military combat skills in Thales. Stay on top of their every move. In order to guarantee the absolute safety of the marshal on the day of the ceremony.

With the victorious army here, Thales was relieved.

Now everything is in place, waiting for the scheduled date.

In the back garden of the Marshal's Mansion, Thales rarely had a day to spare, so he rested in the back garden.

The garden is beautiful and Thales loves it, of course, it's not something he runs. He didn't have the time, he didn't have the interest, it was his wife's handiwork.

He was married twelve years ago, and his wife was still very young, twenty years younger than him, and was a gentle and lovely son, and bore him three sons and a daughter. The eldest son is eleven years old, his name is Glion, and it is rare for his father to be free. And his wife and children stayed with him in the garden.

Thales didn't like to talk much, so he sat on the garden bench. Watch your children play and scream on the grass.

These cute little creatures are his hope for the future, and a large part of the reason why he wants to become independent from the Greson Kingdom is because of them.

Thales wanted his sons and daughters to carry on the legacy he had created.

After looking at it for a while, he waved his hand to his eldest son and called, "Glion, come here." ”

Glion immediately ran over, the wind and rain in the holy land were smooth, the food was sufficient, and the environment was stable, so the figure of the new generation of Terrans had greatly increased, although Glion was only 11 years old, he was already one meter and five meters tall, and in the past years, he was already an adult when he was so tall, and Thales was only half a head taller than him.

But now, Glion still looks childish, and he looks like a child.

"What have you studied lately?" Thales asked gently, as he always had done to his children.

But although his attitude is mild, the majesty accumulated by leading the army for a long time cannot be erased, in front of his father, Glion did not dare to come out, and said honestly: "Recently, I have been learning the basic theory of piloting an airship, as well as the abyssal language, combat skills, and musket skills. ”

"Well, that's good." Thales was very satisfied, his child, not to mention the others, but the force must not be left behind, looking at Glion's strong body, he couldn't help but reach out and pat him on the shoulder, and said in the gentlest attitude: "Study hard, don't let your father down." ”

"I will, father." Glion said solemnly.

"Let's go play." Seeing his son's discomfort, Thales waved his hand and let him go.

After looking at it for a while, in the bright sunlight, Thales felt a little dazed, and before he knew it, he was leaning back in his chair and falling asleep.

He had a dream.

He dreamed that he had come to an endless wilderness, and in the distance there stood a magnificent mountain.

He didn't know what this place was, and instinctively, he ran wildly across the wilderness, in the direction of the mountains.

As he drew closer to the mountains, the wilderness became a field, and the field became fertile, and the crops were growing pleasantly, and the beautiful and delicate cabins, and the farmer with a calm and calm demeanor, everything seemed so beautiful.

Thales slowed down his pace and walked slowly down the field path, occasionally encountering pedestrians along the way, who saluted him and called him Marshal respectfully.

"Where is this?" Thales couldn't help but ask.

"Follow the road all the way and you'll find out, marshal." The pedestrian replied.

Thales's doubts grew more and more in his mind, and he quickened his pace once more, and crossed the field into the high mountains, where the path was gentle, and on both sides of the road were planted many fruit trees that were growing well, and among them you could occasionally see bright and delicate wooden houses.

Thales felt a little thirsty, and couldn't help but reach out and pick a dewy red fruit, and when he took a bite, the sweet juice ran down his throat, and it was delicious.

He ate several in a row, and then continued to the top of the mountain. This mountain is extremely high, although the road is flat, but he went all the way up, walked for more than two hours before reaching the top, looked back at the mountain, and saw the clouds and air, and the figures walking under the mountain were already small and ant-like.

After more than an hour of walking, the road became smoother and smoother, and a fork in the road appeared, one road continued upward, and the other led to an unknown place shrouded in white mist.

As if feeling a call, Thales did not continue upward, he walked into the white mist, and went all the way in the mist, after about ten minutes, the fog suddenly dissipated, and everything suddenly became clear, and a rock platform appeared in front of him, on the platform was a long table, the table was full of fruit and delicacies, and there were delicate wine glasses on the table, and the glass contained amber wine, just looking at it, it made people feel delicious.

At the end of the long table, a vague figure was sitting, this person gave Thales a feeling of great familiarity, but he was shrouded in a psychedelic light, and he couldn't see the specific form, Thales was confused, but he walked up anyway and naturally sat down on an empty seat.

"Enjoy the food and wine." The man said.

Thales felt that many things in his heart had disappeared, and the etiquette, the fear of strangers, and the wariness of strangers were not present, and when the other party spoke, he naturally began to enjoy the food.

The food on the table was delicious, and Thales quickly indulged in it, eating until he felt his stomach full, and he stopped.

"As my messenger, you have done my mission well." The vague man said.

Thales was still puzzled, and when he heard this, he guessed, "You are my lord, the god of war?" ”

The other party did not answer, and continued: "There will always be an end to your splendor in the mortal world, and when that day comes, I will lift your soul to the heavens and become an eternal and immortal heroic spirit. ”

Thales was stunned and wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't open his mouth, everything in front of him became blurred, and the white mist became thicker and thicker, obscuring everything.

Suddenly, Thales felt a shock in his body, and then his wife's voice came from his ears: "Master, it's getting late, it's time to go back." ”

Thales opened his eyes, and saw his wife, sons, and daughters, all standing in front of him, and he was still sitting on a garden bench, and then he suddenly said, 'I just had a dream.' ’

After a while, the contents of the dream were a little indistinct, the sweet wine, the beautiful scenery, the majestic mountains, etc., were a little blurry, even if he thought about it carefully, he could not experience that beautiful feeling again, but he still remembered clearly what the vague figure said to him.

"Eternal immortal Heroic Spirit? God, is this your promise to me? But why did you make a promise to me at this time? Thales asked softly, covering his head.

He couldn't figure out, or even tell if it was a revelation from God, or if it was just a simple dream.

"Mother, I'm hungry, let's go back." The words of the youngest daughter, Vivi, reached his ears, and then Thales heard his wife whisper, "Baby, wait a little longer, my father hasn't woken up yet." ”

The brief exchange between mother and daughter allowed Thales to completely recover from the trance caused by this bizarre dream, and he returned to reality, he stood up, walked over and picked up his little baby, and a kind smile on his face that he had never seen before: "Let's go, little thing, let's go back." ”

He saw the look of surprise on his wife's face, and he couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart, he was too busy to take care of his own home.

He decided that when he became king and everything was stable, he would make good restitution to his wife and children.

At this moment, the ambition in the heart of this invincible male lion began to wane, and he was captured by the web of affection, and he would slowly become weak.

But in the soundproof underground chamber of a remote hut in Thales City, there is a cripple who learns the art of hunting lions as best he can.

This cripple is gifted, not afraid of hardship, not even death, he quickly familiarizes himself with his new weapon, and every day he makes great progress.

In the last month of his life, the cripple burst into the greatest passion.

In this context, the time for the coronation of the king is approaching day by day. (To be continued......)
