Chapter 231: Desert Rebellion (3)
The wind in the desert is extremely hot, but the heart of the sand king is now as cold as ice, Dole was adopted and raised by the previous generation of sand kings, a few years older than the eldest prince, everyone calls him uncle in Pingsuri, in fact, he is the same as the prince and princess in the palace, he grew up in the palace, everyone respects him as much as the prince, and even the eldest prince respects him as the heir of the sand king.
And he also lived up to the expectations of the Sand King, and he showed amazing cultivation at an early stage, not only was the Scimitar unique to the Shalit people extremely powerful, but he was also the only Stigmata inheritor in the desert who mastered the power of water.
The Sand King clearly remembers that his father has said many times that Dole will be the greatest help to the next generation of Sand Kings and a trustworthy warrior.
"What, Her Royal Highness the Princess's words, is it just a lack of heart and a quick mouth?"
An indifferent voice interrupted the Sand King's thoughts, and the Sand King looked at the gloomy man outside the parapet and knew that he was no longer the Dole he had known before, and that power and wealth had fascinated his mind like wind and sand.
Raising his head, the Sand King kept telling himself in his heart that now is the time when he must face it forever, the future of the desert may be in his own thoughts, and he is only alone when he is not yet ten years old, but he is facing Dole, who has been entrenched in the Shalit Empire for nearly thirty years, deeply rooted and admired by all the people of the desert.
If you're not careful, you'll be crushed!
Breathing slowly, the Sand King's immature voice reached the ears of every Shalit warrior with the wind and sand, "My people, I want each of you to listen carefully to my every word. Every word, because now you are not facing your little princess, but ...... A new generation of sand kings!"
There was a commotion in the desert, and now the situation was divided into two sides, on the one hand, Dole accused the princess of plotting to usurp the throne, and on the other hand, the princess pointed out that Dole murdered the king and sought power, and most of the Shalit warriors could not judge which side was telling the truth for a while.
"Two years ago, when I was seven years old, my father took me into a sandstorm according to the laws of the desert. Be baptized in the desert. Officially becoming a member of the royal family, this day is a day that no one knows where the sand king is going, because the baptism of the desert is carried out only by the sand king and the accompanying royal family, but that day. The Assassins lay in ambush early on. Accurate hit us. ”
The Shalit warriors, who were chattering, fell silent. Everyone listened to the words of the Sand King in shock, these words were like a fantasy, the great Sand King was actually attacked in the desert. And there was no news about this at all.
There was a hint of hatred in the Sand King's voice, and he continued: "The assassins have been carefully prepared, they have used extremely powerful weapons, and they have shamelessly used me as bait, and my father has tried to protect me...... Seriously wounded, although he eventually used the cover of the sandstorm to shake off the assassins, ......"
Two tears slipped from the Sand King's eyes, "It's in the depths of the desert, in a place where no one knows, father...... Back to the desert!"
"Whoop ――――――"|
The Shalit warriors were in an uproar, and the news that the Sand King had passed away caused an uproar again.
"My people!" the Sand King suppressed the discussion loudly, and continued to shout: "We don't know who the attacker is, but we can be sure that it must be someone from the royal family, and someone who is very close to my father, otherwise it is impossible to know my father's whereabouts, and in order to protect the desert, in order to maintain the purity of the blood of the desert royal family, and for our glory!
"Ridiculous!"
Dole unceremoniously interrupted the Sand King, "The Sand King is the master of the desert, how can he casually pass it on to a little girl! Even if you are Her Royal Highness the Princess, this matter is absolutely not credible!"
The Sand King replied coldly: "Father knows that his life is coming to an end, and he doesn't know who the enemy is, so naturally he can't pass on the throne to other princes, and is there any choice at that time?"
Dole mocked: "I'm afraid that your Royal Highness the princess has been planning for a long time, killing the Sand King, not to mention, and trying to usurp the throne, but things were too hasty, and I couldn't get the official inheritance of the Sand King, so I had to wear the armor of the Sand King to get by! If you really get the position of the Sand King! Why do you still wear armor to cover people's eyes!?"
The Sand King shouted with some excitement: "If I show my true face, I am afraid that I will be conspired by the enemy to die the next day! I can only lie that I am missing in the desert, but I wear my father's armor, so that the Sand King is still alive, so that everyone knows that the owner of the desert is still alive! During this time, I have been looking for the murderer, but he is hidden too deeply, and I can't find any clues, but I never thought that Dole...... It's going to be you!"
Dole disagreed, snorted and said: "I'm thinking about the whole desert! I felt that you had a problem two years ago, but when it comes to the identity of the Sand King, I don't dare to be careless, I have secretly investigated for the past two years, but I have found a lot of traces of your usurpation! Today! It is time to expose you!"
Pointing at the Sand King, Dole shouted, "Now you immediately take off all your armor, kneel down and go out of the city, according to the laws of the desert! I will not kill you! But you will also be punished as you deserve!"
The sand king said in a cold voice: "I am the orthodox sand king who has been succeeded by my father, how can I kneel down to a rebellious villain like you!
"Orthodox Sand King?" Doller laughed, "Well, please show me the evidence of your orthodox Sand King!" If you can prove that you are the current Sand King, and that you are not usurping the throne, I will naturally ...... I will kneel down to you and plead guilty!"
"Good!"
The Sand King glared at Dole angrily, "Dole, I will let you die a clear death today! When you return to the desert, you can ask your father for your guilt!"
After speaking, the Sand King turned his gaze to Tian Xian, his eyes were complicated and incomprehensible, and said: "I wanted to retrieve the Desert Dust Sword, but unfortunately now doesn't seem to be the time, I hope you let me go now, Dole is a usurper, if he masters the desert." You're only going to get worse off than you are now!"
Glancing back at Dolma, who had been freed from the sand prison by Vero, the Sand King said, "Thank you for your water and food, or for the blankets, let's talk about the matter between us again after I have put down the rebellion." ”
At this time, Tianxian looked at the sand king and felt a little distressed.
She will face the suspicion of hundreds of thousands of people, a meticulous and vicious opponent who has endured for decades, and this king has no retinue, no escort and no soldiers. She must face the grief of her father's death on her own. Facing the huge pressure of power, facing those who should love her and support her.
She was only one person, and she was only an eight or nine-year-old girl......
"You're ...... alone," Tianxian frowned.
"I'm not just a human being. The Sand King caressed his heart. "My father has always protected me. My people are waiting for me to save. This is the responsibility of the sand king, I am never lonely, I never work hard for myself......"
The feeling of leisure. The heart is sour......
How did such a little girl, after her father was assassinated, stand strong and alone to support such a huge empire, endure the torture of pain and fear, and come to this day.
"We can't interfere...... Arion saw Tianxian's hesitation, stepped forward and said softly: "This is a struggle for the royal power of the Shalit Empire, not something that outsiders should interfere in." ”
The Sand King heard Arion's words, smiled and nodded, "What he said is right, this is our matter in the desert, it's better for outsiders not to interfere!"
Raising his hand to the ground and lightly hooking his fingers a few times, the Sand King's armor suddenly rose from the ground and reattached itself to her tiny body.
The Shalit warriors outside the parapet let out a sound of surprise, although they knew that it was only Her Royal Highness the princess inside, but the appearance of the Sand King wearing armor in front of them still made people feel extremely deterrent.
"Well, there will be a date later!" the Sand King moved his five fingers, and without giving Tian idle time to think, he jumped off the parapet wall.
Tianxian had the heart to stop it, but looking at Arion beside him, he finally sighed helplessly, "Triangle, temporarily lift the Scattered Spirit Demon Array, but pay attention to the situation at any time!"
"Yes, my master!"
The Sand King jumped down, his feet did not hit the ground, and a layer of yellow sand had already floated up automatically, gently dragging his body.
In the desert, the successive Sand Kings are dominated by the desert, and the endless yellow sand is the weapon of the Sand King, and the most significant feature of the Sand King is to control the yellow sand in the desert at will.
It's also a symbol of royal power!
Dole scoffed at this, "Your Royal Highness, do you want to use the appearance of the Sand King to win sympathy? I think you have learned some skills from the Sand King, but at this time, it is inevitably a little inappropriate to use it for show, the Sand King dies, you pretend to be the Sand King, you must understand that the more you do to look like the Sand King, the more sinful you will be." ”
After a few words, the chatter in Shalit's army suddenly changed......
"This Doler is really not an easy character. Vero climbed the parapet immediately after rescuing Dolma, and frowned greatly when he heard Dole's words.
"Sister Zhuoma, are you okay?" Seeing Zhuoma rushing up the parapet in a hurry, Tianxian hurriedly asked.
Dolma was anxious, "I'm fine, she has no intention of hurting me at all, but you bastard! How can you let her go out alone! There are hundreds of thousands of troops on the other side!"
Vero grabbed Dolma, who was about to jump out, "What are you going to do?"
"Save her, of course!" Dolma glared at Vero angrily, "She's just a child!"
"But she's the Sand King!" Vero exclaimed, and said in a stern tone that he had never felt before, "This is a struggle for royal power! What is the use of you going? Even if she is a five-year-old child!
Vero has always looked at Dolma as the horse's head, but Dolma was stunned when Vero yelled, and the man in front of him rarely spoke to himself in this voice.
"Yes...... But ......" Dolma bit her lip and looked anxious.
Vero shook his head helplessly, "Let her go...... I also know it's a bit cruel, but it's always been like that in kingship, she might reclaim the title of Sand King today and then Megatron Desert, or she might be shattered, but no matter what...... Only she can do this, and there is nothing we can do about it. ”
Everyone helplessly persuaded Zhuoma. And under the parapet, the Sand King has slowly approached Dole.
The twenty guards behind Dole couldn't help but be nervous, and some of them slowly knelt down as the Sand King approached, they didn't say anything, but in their hearts, whether it was the Sand King or Her Royal Highness the Princess in front of them, they should salute.
But beside Dole, there were nine guards who did not kneel, but had been standing around Dole since they had just stood up. At this time, he stared at the sand king with burning eyes.
"The Assassin of the Day...... It's eight people. All of them are strange tricks from outside the desert. The Sand King's gaze swept over the eight guards of Dore, "But they came in and out of the sandstorm calmly, apparently the people of the desert, and it seemed ...... It's eight of you. ”
Doler snorted coldly. "Your Highness the Princess. You continue to frame me with such empty words. It doesn't seem to be any good, but it does a lot of good things for me.
"Works for you?"
A thick murderous intent suddenly flashed in Doler's eyes, and he shouted, "Listen to orders!"
"Huh!" the guards around him instantly drew their scimitars.
The Sand King shouted angrily, "Dole, do you want to kill me now!?"
"Of course not! But sooner or later. But now I must cut off the wings of sin, or there will be no peace in the desert. ”
"What?" the Sand King wondered, "what the hell are you talking about?"
Doler sneered and yelled, "Kill!!"
A burst of blood shot into the air.
The few guards standing beside Dole suddenly turned around and aimed their scimitars at their companions, and before they could be surprised, the guards who knelt on the ground and bowed their heads in salute had already been cut off by the sharp scimitars, and they were all between the lightning and flint, and in the blink of an eye, eleven human heads had rolled down the yellow sand.
The Sand King was taken aback, and then suddenly realized that Dole was actually eradicating the dissidents in the guards, these guards were all personally selected and trained by the Sand King back then, and they were all the people closest to the Sand King, and Dole had carefully recruited some of them over the years, and the rest ...... actually killed directly today!
What a ruthless method!
"You ......," the Tsar King trembled with anger, "you idiot! They are the elite of the desert! They are the soul of the desert! You are ......."
Dole grabbed a human head from the ground and shouted: "Desert people, please see what happened to these people! They followed the rebellion and took part in the assassination of the Tsar King themselves! I have investigated very clearly, and I will kill them on the spot today! Honor our great departed king!"
"Wow--"
Countless Shalit warriors shouted loudly, just now the Sand King has revealed his true face, the matter of pretending to be the Sand King has been revealed, and now the two sides are facing each other, obviously Dole is more dominant, he killed the other guards in one fell swoop, and all the Shalit warriors who spoke loudly shouted and roared wildly.
On the parapet, everyone was nervously watching the situation outside, and Doler surprised everyone by killing the killer directly to kill the other guards.
Looking at the cheering Shalit warriors, Vero couldn't help but shake his head: "This little girl is not an opponent...... That Dole is afraid that he has been preparing for today for a long time, even the personal guards of the Sand King have been co-opted by him, and the subordinates below don't know how many have fallen to him, and now he is almost a hundred calls, and the identity that the little girl concealed has been exposed, but now it has become the target of everyone, hey......"
The situation was as clear as Vero said, but everyone was silent, although anxious in their hearts, but also very helpless, now the person who can help the Sand King regain the royal power does not exist at all! Even everyone can imagine that once someone intervenes, Doler will immediately deduct the charge of fornicating with foreign enemies and murdering the Sand King to the innocent little girl now.
Listening to the countless cheers, Dole couldn't help but be complacent, and laughed casually, "Your Royal Highness, you didn't expect your people to be eradicated like this, did you?
The sand king looked at the blood all over the ground, and his heart was extremely painful, these people were all henchmen left by his father, and he couldn't determine who was a traitor in the past two years, and he didn't dare to reveal his identity, but now he finally knew that they were loyal people, and when he had to rely on them to support the empire and support himself, they had all turned into dead corpses!
"Dole, you are burying the entire empire with your own hands, I will definitely not let you go!"
Dole laughed: "Your Highness Princess, you are already unable to protect yourself, so you don't need to say this anymore. I'd love to know what proof of your so-called royal power is, and what is it?"
The Sand King had no choice but to temporarily put away the grief in his heart and said coldly: "Dole! you want to usurp the throne, but you can't control Shanu, right? And Shanu can't be co-opted, so you choose to start when your father and I go out alone, and Shanu is not even there!"
"Her Royal Highness is telling jokes again. ”
The Sand King raised his head and said loudly: "Sons of the people, please listen clearly! Please listen to every word clearly, every generation of Sand Kings has its own chariot, and only the Sand King can control a unique car like Sanu, do you see? Dole wants to destroy Shanu! Forcibly control Shanu to storm the enemy's moat! He can't control Shanu. I want to destroy the traces of the sand king. But let each one of you know and see with your own eyes that I, your king, can control the Shanu!"
This sentence carries a lot of weight, and the lord of the desert controls his own unique car. This is a desert tradition. Each generation of Tsars has a different car. But the same thing is that only the sand king can control it.
In the past two years, the Sand King has never had a problem controlling the Sand Slave, which is a well-known thing! This is something that only the Sand King can do with the approval of the Sand Nu!
"Joke!!" Doler's cold snort followed.
"Your Highness the Princess. Don't be confused anymore! Speaking of Shanu's words, this proves even more that you have usurped the throne and seized power, and you are not an orthodox sand king at all!"
Dole stared at the Sand King viciously and said, "However, Harnessing the Sand Nu should be the ability that the Sand King possesses, but I ask all the people of the desert to hear clearly, the Sand Nu is our great master, the seat of our previous generation of Sand King...... It's not your car at all!"
Just now, some of the Shalit warriors who believed in the words of the Sand King couldn't help but be stunned, what Doler said was indeed right, counting, Shanu is the car of the previous generation of Sand King, and each generation of Sand King's car is different, which is also an unwritten tradition in the desert.
Dole continued to say proudly and loudly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, if you are the Sand King who has obtained the orthodox inheritance, then you will naturally have the ability to get your own car, so why don't you have your own car, and you don't know what method you used to deceive Shanu and let it continue to be your car, you know...... Each generation of Sand Kings has a different car!"
Sha Wang was a little speechless, "Naturally, I want not to reveal my identity! If I change my car, won't it make those assassins suspicious!?"
"Oh......" Dole pulled a long voice and sneered, "I don't dare to show my true identity to guard against those assassins? But am I really wrong?, Your Royal Highness Princess, you are so deliberately playing the role of Lord Sand King, not only wearing the armor of Lord Sand King, but even using unknown methods to confuse Sand Nu, you are so powerful, are you really afraid of being assassinated? Or ...... You haven't gotten the real Sand King Inheritance at all, and you don't know anything about the Sand King's secret methods!, so you don't dare to see people with your true face, you must have been collecting things related to the Sand King Inheritance for the past two years!"
Saying that, Dole tapped his forehead lightly, and his eyes suddenly turned to the parapet, "I remember, in the past two years, you suddenly became interested in the treasure in the desert, and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to investigate all kinds of news about that treasure, I remember that Lord Sand King said before, that is the treasure is the root of stabilizing the Sand King, just like the meaning of endless water to the desert, no one can touch it lightly, and even arranged a formation in the position where the treasure may be stored." But you're particularly interested in this during this time......"
After a pause, Dole seemed to suddenly realize, "I finally understand now, you should be eager to get new strength to stabilize your position, in this case, you may not know anything about the inheritance of the Sand King, otherwise why would you pursue other powers, or even ......"
Deliberately raising his voice, Doler shouted: "Even at the expense of colluding with foreign enemies to plot the treasures of the desert! Your Royal Highness Princess, you are really unscrupulous for the sake of royal power!"
This guy actually hit a rake first!
The heart of Tian Xian listened to the fire, this Doler not only played with power and secretly assassinated the Sand King, but now even his own side was arranged into his lies.
"Nonsense!" said the Sand King, "I have collected the news of that treasure because there has been a change in the north! I have to do this! And I don't know those people at all! There is no collusion with outsiders to plot the treasure of the desert!"
Dole laughed, "Then Your Highness Princess, can you tell me where the treasure of our desert is now?"
The Sand King was furious, but he had to suppress his anger, and replied with a snort: "We are not as good as others, and they have already taken possession of that thing, but I have already negotiated with them in detail! This is a matter of discussing the return of the treasure, Dole! You fool is rebelling at this time! It is an unforgivable sin!"
"Talking?" said Doler, dismissively, "In my opinion, it must be dividing the spoils, right?"
"You...... What do you say!?"
Dole looked righteous and stared at the Sand King with hatred, "Your Royal Highness Princess, all of us saw it clearly just now, you are free to move around in the enemy formation, come and go at will, I don't know what mechanism there is in front of the city wall, thousands of our soldiers are trapped in it and can't break free, and you actually walked out so easily, it looks ...... You've really had a good conversation with them, but I don't know if I'm going to talk to them forever if I don't bring the troops here...... Never to return to the desert?"
The sand king is about to be to death, and Dole's every sentence is strong, but he said that in an inexplicable place, there was nothing wrong with what happened these days, but now that her identity is exposed, after being put on a hat by Dole, this qiē has become suspicious.
"She's lost......" Vero let out a long sigh on the parapet, "She's strong, but she's clearly no match for the cunning Dole, it seems like we're going to get out of here, and after Dore takes power, he will inevitably choose to attack us to consolidate his leadership." ”
"That'...... Then we'll leave her alone?" Dolma was a little confused, looking at the Sand King standing there alone.
"She's alone now, and she doesn't even have anyone to testify for her, and since the Sand King was assassinated at that time, she must not have left anything enough to prove her orthodox identity in a hurry, otherwise she would have taken it out a long time ago!" Vero shook his head again, "She is doomed to failure, and we can't help her!"
There was an indescribable oppressive aura in the desert, and until not long ago there were some Shalit warriors kneeling there, but now everyone stood up and stared at the lonely figure, with no reverence in their eyes, only anger and hatred.
"Your Highness, Princess, do you have anything else to prove who you are?" asked Dore, a look of victory on his face.
Evidence!
The body under the armor of the Sand King was shaking violently.
How can there be any evidence!
The inheritance of the Sand King does not have so many probative things, who would have thought that someone would assassinate the Sand King, in such a short period of time, there is really not much left for himself, only this armor and some secret methods, and Shanu......
And even if there is any evidence now, who can stand with him? He has put himself in a disadvantageous situation by pretending to be the Sand King, and now every piece of evidence has become pale and weak, even if he takes out his father's handwritten order to inherit the throne, I am afraid that he will be framed as a fake in the blink of an eye, who can prove that he is the real Sand King for himself?
How much does it really do to prove yourself in the face of hundreds of thousands of doubts?
Father, am I coming to an end today? (To be continued......
