For three seconds, no one spoke.

Until......

"Throw away the nonsense," said Nikolae, who tilted his head, intentionally or unintentionally, to reveal the hilt of his knife behind his back, his eyes shining fiercely, and his words were as cold as frost, "Or do you like to joke?"

Cohen's eyes narrowed.

Even the little slipper shook his head.

Tails raised an eyebrow and smiled awkwardly: "But I'm serious......"

He looked at the puzzled eyes of the crowd and chuckled in his heart.

The prince finally had to shake his head: "Okay, let's get to the subject......"

"From the assassination of King Nunn until now, I have gathered a lot of intel on the run," Tails sighed, "a lot of details about Rumba's plan this time. ”

Putile and Raphael looked at each other, secretly surprised.

Miranda frowned slightly: "On the run, collect intelligence?"

Tails shrugged: "You can't just run for your life in a panic. ”

Nikolai's eyes flickered: "For example?"

"For example, the real purpose of the rumba," Tails' breathing slowed slowly, "whether it is the army that he should have brought with him, or his own appearance, it has far exceeded the scope of what is needed to 'fight back against Nunn to protect himself'." ”

"We talked about it in our cells," Miranda said keenly, "do you have an answer?"

In everyone's eyes, Tails bowed his head slightly.

He recalled the oppressive conversation in the carriage.

"When King Nunn died, and I fell into the hands of the Rumba, he said to me," said the second prince, recalling in his mind: "That phrase haunted me until just now. ”

Raphael unconsciously leaned forward slightly, narrowing his eyes.

"Charman Rumba's exact words were," Tails said in a thick voice, in the tone of the tyrant, "'What's next?'"

"'I'm going to save this country.'" ”

Except for the little slippery head, everyone was stunned.

Another few seconds of silence.

"What?" was the stunned Putira.

Raphael and Miranda bowed their heads in contemplation.

"Hmph," Nicolai shook his head and exchanged glances with Mielke, "the self-defense of the shameless, the sophistry of the king-killer." ”

But Tails shook his head solemnly.

"No, I can feel it," the prince exhaled, his eyes full of solemnity, "and he meant it: Rumba did think that what he was doing was saving Exeter. ”

The Starfaller's face slowly froze.

Cohen scratched his head, "Perhaps, we should stop this guessing game, go straight to the point, and say something I understand?"

"There's something wrong with that," Putile took a puff of his cigarette, his eyes swelling: "What is there in this country that needs to be saved?"

"Probably referring to the overthrow of King Nunn?" Miranda folded her arms and pondered, "and as far as I know, the reign of Nune VII for thirty years has made the Grand Dukes both respectful and fearful. ”

"For Rumba, Nunn's death is a new birth for the nation, and they can finally get rid of the oppression of Walton and Dragons?"

Michael sighed.

But the prince shook his head anyway.

Tails took a breath and said silently: "The biggest reason why Rumba wants to bring down King Nunn is that he is afraid of King Nunn's revenge on the Black Sand Collar, and it is to protect himself. ”

"But this problem has been solved," Tails looked up, assembling every element in his mind, "King Nunn is dead, and he won't crawl out of the Prison River to find him again." ”

Raphael didn't say a word, but suddenly smiled.

"According to the original sentence of the Lombard," the young man of Mykoh showed a scrutinizing gaze, "he is about to 'go' to save the country, and King Nun is dead at this time, and in chronological order, it is not right. ”

Tails nodded distractedly.

"Unless Rumba has not taken a grammar class, he can't even tell the difference between the present and future tenses. Tails said lightly.

"Otherwise, what he said about saving the country ......"

Tails raised his head, his eyes were extremely solemn: "It's definitely not just about overthrowing King Nunn, it's not even about getting rid of the oppression of Longxiao City, it's not just about changing the king." ”

"He wanted more. ”

"He wanted something that had never been changed before. ”

"I want to 'save the country' in the most complete way. ”

Everyone fell silent.

"I bet," Tails let out a breath, his tone serious and serious, "this is why Rumba brought the army to Longxiao City, and the reason why he went to Valhalla at this moment is also the key to our counterattack. ”

"If you take the army to Valhalla, you can save the country?" Cohen said suspiciously, "What is he going to do?

Putile sneered.

"In the first few decades of my life, I learned one thing," said Mr. Vice-Chancellor, puffing out a puff of smoke, "violence is the shortest, simplest, and least effective of all the means of solving problems, and it is best used as a last resort." ”

Tails sighed, all the clues becoming clearer and clearer in his mind.

"During that impressive journey, I heard another detail. ”

All eyes were drawn to the prince again.

"The Shadow Shield tells Rumba," Tails said silently, "when Saliton assassinated King Nunn, it took him a long time to find the king's traces. ”

Putile looked up sharply!

It's like thinking of something.

Raphael also opened his mouth in surprise.

Tails lowered his head:

Thanks Kaslan......

Thank you for giving me Gu's hiding place......

Otherwise......

Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have seen the meeting between Rumba and the Shadow Shield.

He thought silently.

Wya's eyebrows raised: "Is there anything wrong?"

"Very inappropriate," Putile's eyebrows tightened, and his tone was nervous: "I arranged an assassination, but I couldn't determine the location of the target and the time of the assassination......"

The thin man's eyes froze: "This is one of the deadliest and most unforgivable mistakes for an assassination that requires pre-planning and preparation. ”

"This means...... The Shadow Shield and Saliton's assassination were unexpected surprises they hadn't expected. ”

"Oh," Cohen on the side suddenly patted his head, then raised his thumb and said sincerely: "It seems that Uncle you are very experienced." ”

At that moment, Putilai's eyes darkened.

Tails took a deep breath and looked up.

"The Flying Locust Blade jumped down from the Sky Cliff and assassinated the King," the prince said solemnly, "He had been hiding on the Sky Cliff before. ”

Not even Ashida nor Black Sword noticed him.

Tails clenched his fists, thinking and tidying up.

"How did he get there?" Nicollet wondered, "Even at night, it is impossible for Saliton to climb the cliff of the sky without being noticed. ”

Tails shook his head.

"It doesn't matter. ”

"The important thing is," the second prince's pupils shrank, "there is only one place where the Sky Cliff is connected. ”

Lord Mielke, who had been a king for many years, had a twitch in his eyes and said the answer: "Valhalla." ”

No one spoke, and everyone knew what that meant.

"That is to say," Tails nodded slightly, "Ba'an Nate Saliton had intended to enter Valhalla from the Sky Cliff and assassinate King Nunn. ”

"Valhalla is where they planned King Nunn's death. ”

Raphael: With a strange smile, he looked at the prince quietly.

"It's all over," Tails thought for thought, "after Nunn's assassination, Rumba appeared with an army that was unorthodox, and even wanted to kill us, but he shouldn't have done such an unwise act of self-reproach. ”

Syllable!

Tails slammed his fist into the palm of his hand, his eyes lit up.

"Now I understand that Rumba and the army will be there," he exhaled, "because there was an accident in the assassination plan: King Nun should not have died in the shield area, but in Valhalla, just like the accident in the Dragon's Blood Project." ”

Raphael sneered silently.

"Sariton couldn't find the king in Valhalla, so Rumba had to send an army into the shield area to search for Nunn's traces," Tails clenched his fists, "And after confirming the success of Sariton's assassination, his first thought was to kill the witnesses to kill the mouth." ”

Nicolai, on the other hand, turned blue and had a look of pain in his eyes.

"Your Majesty," the Meteorite said bitterly, "he should have stayed safely in Valhalla during the crusade against the Calamity, but he chose to set off with the Whiteblade Guards and came outside the palace. ”

He said he believed that the place where the White Guards were located was the safest place in the world. ”

Mielke lowered his head and said hoarsely: "We have all failed in our duties. ”

Tails' eyes darkened: "Choosing to leave the palace, although it is inevitable to be assassinated, this may be the wisest decision of the old king before his death." ”

"Leaving us a glimmer of life. ”

The vigilante officer raised his hand.

"What does this mean?" Cohen waved his palm and pondered, "Rumba doesn't want people outside the palace to know that Nun is dead?"

Miranda looked up, her eyes cold.

"If King Nunn dies in Valhalla for no apparent reason, according to Rumba's original plan," the female swordsman asked coldly, "What will happen then?"

Putile shook his head: "It's not how the situation will ......"

Tails snorted, and several high-ranking figures appeared in his mind, and muttered as he took over the words of the deputy envoy: "It's four friendly and kind old friends who were at Valhalla at the time......

"It's what they're going to do. ”

Tails jerked his eyes up and looked at everyone.

"Let's go. "He's unequivocal.

"Where?" said Nicolais, narrowing his eyes.

Tails smiled.

"Go and test my final conjecture," said the prince softly, "to find the weakness of the Rumba." ”

At the same time, in the Hall of Heroes in Valhalla, the conversation between the five Grand Dukes became more and more tense.

"About Your Majesty's Misfortune ......"

Charman Rumba looked at the four archdukes in front of him with a cold expression: "It seems that you have something to say?"

Ronnie of Qiyuan City snorted coldly:

"Don't take your peers for fools. ”

I only heard Archduke Ronnie say coldly: "We are not those noble background boards among knights who only set off the protagonist and give his daughter to him for nothing. ”

Rumba narrowed his eyes.

"As His Majesty's greatest enemy, Chaman," the bearded Oletheus raised his chin, clenched his arms, and looked serious, "It's not easy for you to know about his death so much earlier than a few of us." ”

Grand Duke of Black Sand snorted lightly.

"And not sooner or later, just after His Majesty's assassination?" Archduke Trudida hid half of his face in the shadows that could not be illuminated by the brazier, touched his beard, and said in a strange manner: "It seems that the horse of the Black Sand Collar is really fast, how about catching up with the dragon and selling me some?"

The Grand Duke of Rumba curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

"I thought," the old and solemn Archduke Leco shook his head, making his bald head more conspicuous, and a pair of eyes occasionally showed a gleam, "if you just want to talk to a few of us...... You have too many 'entourage' outside the door, right?"

Charman Rumba looked up and glanced at the dragon spear stone carving in the clouds above his head.

His hand pressed against the old saber at his waist.

The next second, he nodded slowly.

But on Lomba's unsmiling face, his eyes became colder and colder.

"I didn't know you were starting to learn to act in stage plays," the Grand Duke of Black Sand lowered his head and snorted softly, looking around at the four of them:

"One line, one line?"

Bang!

Grand Duke Ronnie slammed his fist into the rectangular table, his eyes cold.

"Save the nonsense," the Grand Duke of Qiyuan City said fiercely, "What are you thinking about your big head that has been blown by the wind and sand of the south for forty years!"

"Kill the king and destroy our biggest rules and tacit understanding for more than six hundred years?"

"Do you think you'll be able to escape?"

The Grand Dukes looked at Rumba coldly and did not answer.

Rumba frowned as he faced Ronnie's questioning.

A few seconds later.

"I thought you would be happy," Rumba said softly, his voice a little hoarse, "after all, he is dead, and you can finally get rid of that tyrant." ”

"Get rid of his officials. ”

"Get rid of his unreasonable demands. ”

"Get rid of his growing greedy **. ”

"Get rid of his growing power. ”

"Get rid of his unjustified dictates to the affairs of your respective territories. ”

Charman Rumba glanced coldly at the Grand Dukes, "Isn't it?"

At that moment, the eyes of the four Grand Dukes flashed with different colors.

There was a moment of silence.

Archduke of Willan, Rebien Auretheau, stepped forward.

The corners of the bearded Grand Duke's mouth curled, and he said in a cold tone, "But that's not how this game is played. ”

"You can't flip the board just because you're at a disadvantage. ”

His eyes narrowed: "You act like a desperate gambler, which makes us nervous." ”

Rumba snorted coldly, as if disdainful.

"Nervous?"

He stretched out his palm, patted his chest, and said in a deep voice, "Ask yourself, my Grand Dukes. ”

"In the last thirty years, in the last sixty years, in the last ninety years," said Rumba, his expression was like ice, and his words were like swords, "is it me, or those kings surnamed Walton, who have pushed you to the point of suffocation with all kinds of means and menacing momentum, that make you even more nervous?"

The Grand Dukes did not speak, and the years of experience had long since accustomed them to the fact that they were moody and invisible, and not everyone was as young as Peverett.

Lomba stepped forward and walked in the direction of the rectangular table.

"Of course, Nunn and Walton are very good at playing this game, and he keeps his chessboard in order," only to hear Rumba Han say in a cold voice: "Look at that throne, it has been in Longxiao City for almost a hundred years!"

Grand Duke Heisha waved his hand and pointed to King Nunn's position, his eyes were cold: "Don't you think it's strange?"

Grand Duke Auretheus snorted fiercely.

"It's none of our business," the Archduke of Willan led to him, and confronted Rumba without flinching, "but you have indeed broken the oath of condominance, and Your Majesty is still your co-king." ”

Boom!

Rumba takes a step forward!

His forehead was almost touching Aletheus's forehead.

But Aletheus did not flinch, and his eyes were fierce.

The atmosphere between the two Grand Dukes became more and more tense.

"Then you should know," said the Grand Duke of Rumba, narrowing his eyes, and he bit the words again and again, sounding particularly terrible, "if he were still alive, in two months my head would be in a box for you to see." ”

"How do you know that the head in the next box won't be one of you?"

"Stop talking nonsense," the eldest Grand Duke of Leco looked up rarely, his eyes very serious, "Trying to convince us that it was the Prince of the Stars who killed the king is not a good idea to divert the focus. ”

"The people of the Northland have their own way of the Northland," Archduke Ronnie picked up his words and said in a deep voice, "Just follow it." ”

Grand Duke Rumba narrowed his eyes, as if rather dissatisfied.

Grand Duke Trudida clapped his palms.

"I don't think he wants to follow the way of the North," I saw the Grand Duke of the Re-Reconstruction Tower, who was known for his cunning, tilting his head, "Look at the pile of stunned soldiers outside the door." ”

Grand Duke Ronnie snorted coldly: "What, do you still plan to wipe us all out here?"

Grand Duke Rumba looked at the four Grand Dukes, and his face became colder and colder.

He clenched his fists.

But the four Grand Dukes in front of them did not have the slightest intention of retreating, whether they were sitting or standing, they all stared at Rumba coldly, uncompromising.

Half an hour later.

Rumba let go of his fist, sank his chest, and exhaled slowly.

"I'm not here to threaten you. Grand Duke Heisha said solemnly: "It's not to be bad for you. ”

Archduke Leco's eyes narrowed, as if in deep thought.

Rumba looked up suddenly: "I'm here today for Exeter. ”

Archduke Auretheus and Archduke Ronnie glanced at each other and sneered at the same time.

"For the sake of Exeter's future," Rumba said solemnly, "I have an important proposal to make to you." ”

Trudida looked puzzled.

Grand Duke Heisha raised his head, his face was cold, but his eyes seemed to be burning.

Like a flame in ice.

"We ......," he said lightly,

"Divide Longxiao City. ”
