Chapter 257 Counterattack(1/3)

 Two braziers in the Hall of Heroes have been extinguished.

But at this moment, no one in the stone hall paid attention to the temperature anymore.

"Rumba wants to do more than just kill King Nun."

Thales finally adjusted his breathing, and the voice of Prince of Stars sounded softly: "He also wants to make the most of King Nunn's death to achieve his goal!"

The prince raised his head and looked at the four grand dukes with delicate expressions: "You can imagine: King Nuen just executed one of the five grand dukes in the name of revenge last night, and died next to the other four in the blink of an eye.

"

"What would that be like?"

Archduke Lecco clasped his hands and his eyes froze.

What will happen?

The old man looked at Lombard, his thoughts racing.

In contrast, Lumba's eyes when he looked at Thales returned to a dead silence, which made the latter feel uncomfortable.

Thales looked unusually calm, and he continued: "I don't know Lumba's specific plan, but in his imagination, you were probably the prime suspects at that time. You couldn't explain anything, and you were worried. And you were in the unfamiliar Longxiao City.

The shrewd and capable Prime Minister Lisban may be difficult to deal with."

The prince recalled the intelligence and truth collected bit by bit during the tense and thrilling escape journey starting from the assassination, and sighed slightly: "Next step, with the help of the dark room, Prime Minister Lisban and the four regicide 'suspects'

Conflict will inevitably break out."

"Push you completely to the opposite side of Longxiao City!"

A subtle silence fell in the hall.

The grand dukes all looked at Lumba, thinking about Thales' words with different expressions.

Thales walked to the rectangular table, and under the unhesitating look of Archduke Ronnie, he jumped on a chair and looked at Archduke Lecco across from him: "I just heard that even now, Prime Minister Lisban is under siege.

City gate?"

Lumba tilted his head without saying a word, as if he was not the protagonist of the conversation.

"Originally, I couldn't understand why Lombard wanted to bring the army while assassinating the king." Thales took a deep breath, recalling the soldiers disguised as patrols, and also recalled the suspicion in the cell: "I now

I believe that Lombard's army is here to intervene in the conflict and rescue you grand dukes when the situation gets out of hand."

Trudida raised her head.

"Why?" Grand Duke Zaizaota asked solemnly: "Assuming what you said is true, why did Lumba do this?"

Thales paused slightly.

"To convince you." He said expressionlessly.

"What?" Grand Duke Trudida subconsciously asked in surprise.

"You are suspected of regicide and are incompatible with the Prime Minister. In order to protect yourself, you will spontaneously accept Lomba's proposal, willingly and even eagerly to push the king's death to the Star Kingdom and me."

Speaking of this, Thales' face darkened.

"You will voluntarily become Lomba's accomplices and send troops together with Lomba to invade the stars: not only to end the threat of King Nun, but also to fulfill his long-cherished wish." Under Selma's strange eyes, Thales sighed softly:

"This is Lombard's real original plan to use calculations and framing to tie his allies to his chariot."

The eyes of the grand dukes kept going back and forth between Lumba and Thales.

The Grand Duke of Heisha remained motionless, his eyes becoming calmer and calmer.

Thales exhaled and leaned back on his chair tiredly. At the same time, he looked strangely at Archduke Ronnie's face getting increasingly ugly.

Did I offend him?

Archduke Alessio knocked on the square table solemnly, and his thick voice sounded: "If this was Charmaine's original plan, then why did he change his mind?"

Thales clenched his fists and remembered Putilai's words.

"To Lombard's surprise, the assassination was an accident," Thales replied calmly: "King Nun did not stay in the Palace of Heroes as he wanted."

"Lomba had to expose himself, enter the city early, and personally witness Nunn's death in the Shield Zone."

The prince raised his eyes and scanned every grand duke with his gray eyes:

"He has lost his leadership and control over the situation. He can no longer blame you, and he cannot use the situation and crisis to force you to form an alliance with him."

"That's why this scene happened now."

"Rumba had no choice but to take the risk of taking the city gate, entering the Palace of Heroes in person, and personally convincing you to put aside the mystery of Nun's death and cooperate with him."

Thales slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "Unlike the previous plan that relied on the situation to force people, this time, he is going to use a reason that you cannot refuse to persuade you to join his big plan."

His voice fell.

Leave silence to the hall.

The expressions of the princes were very interesting.

"Is this what you're going to say?"

Grand Duke Lecco pondered for a while: "Charmaine was planning to use some disgraceful means to pull us into the chariot?"

Lumba snorted coldly.

"It's nonsense," Duke Heisha's tone was full of disdain and indifference: "And it's full of doubts."

Thales gritted his teeth.

But Trudida interrupted his retort.

"Our Grand Duke Heisha is very scheming," Grand Duke Zai Zaita smiled slightly: "But so what?"

"Even if he was really planning to plot and frame us," Grand Duke Trudida turned to the others and gently spread his hands: "At this point, it's too late."

The Grand Duke turned his head slightly and looked at Thales.

At that moment, Trudida's eyes shone with cold light: "For Exter, you still have to do what you have to do."

"You can't change anything."

Lumba still looked blank, but the Duke of Black Sand still turned his face and nodded slightly to Trudida.

Thales was slightly startled.

He observed the expressions of several grand dukes and found that they all seemed indifferent.

Thelma came forward worriedly and pulled at the corner of his torn clothes.

But Thales smiled.

In front of the grand dukes, His Royal Highness showed a relieved smile.

"My dear princes."

"How did Charman Lumba convince you?" Thales scanned these powerful lords one by one and pursed his lips: "What irresistible reason did he give to make you cooperate obediently?"

The faces of the princes became a little ugly.

"It doesn't matter," Thales closed his eyes and sighed: "Actually, I already guessed a few things on the way here."

Lumba's pupils paused slightly.

"Did he tell you that compared to Lombard's disloyalty," Thales straightened up and faced the archdukes seriously: "In the country to the south of you, a more terrifying threat is rising? As strong as Aix.

Can Te not be able to resist?"

At that moment, the princes all behaved more or less unnaturally.

It seemed that he was not used to these words coming from the mouth of the Prince of Stars.

Lumba snorted softly.

But Thales ignored the Grand Duke of Black Sand.

This is his turn.

Thales clenched his fist lightly.

"Did he tell you that the country behind that empire is undergoing changes to an unprecedented degree?" Thales' eyes became sharper and his voice slowly raised: "Their national strength is being integrated into one as never before, and it is becoming more efficient.

Arms to use fingers?”

Thelma looked surprised.

"Did he tell you that only by striking preemptively, using war and violence, and desperately nipping the threat in the bud, can Exeter make a way out?"

Archduke Alessio and Trudida looked at each other, surprised at each other

"Did he also tell you that if you don't do this, one day your territory will be taken away, your family will be destroyed, your bloodline will be cut off, and everything you own will be wiped out and cease to exist?"

Archduke Lecco's eyebrows twitched, and veins appeared in his hands again.

Thales took a deep breath and said the last sentence: "Then did he also tell you: Everything Chaman Lombard did, whether it was a coup to kill the king or provoking a war, was a last resort choice and a helpless choice.

One step, is it the sacrifice of being willing to bear the stigma, the courage to stand up as a hero, and the righteousness of sacrificing oneself for the country?"

After saying this, Thales felt that Lumba's gaze on him was getting colder and colder.
