Under the night sky, Thales raised his head and looked at the lights of the entire Emerald City, watching them gradually grow stronger. According to tradition, the Fighting Banquet is about to end, and Queen's Day, the Emerald Celebration, is about to begin.

"I understand," Thales sighed, "Emerald City is far more than just a city, it is a history, a century-old history."

Every direction has its own shape.

The kingdom was far more complicated than he imagined.

The prince lost his mind and said:

"From a certain perspective, it is even more complete, special, dazzling, and more impeccable than Yongxing City."

The moonlight gradually dimmed, and the brightly lit Kongming Palace looked even more like a divine messenger descending to earth, waving his giant arms to the sky and the earth, resisting all odds and protecting the world.

And they are now standing on this giant arm, feeling that more than a century of past has gathered into light, turning into the lights of thousands of households, gathering at the feet of the angel, illuminating the entire Emerald City and even the South Bank Territory.

"Indeed."

Zhan's mouth curved slightly, he leaned on the stone railing, and looked at the Queen's City in front of him with Thales.

"And you can't imagine how much courage each generation of the Iris family has exerted and what price they have paid in this century to build the Emerald City into what it is today."

courage.

cost.

Thales frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a few seconds, the curve at the corner of Zhan En's mouth disappeared.

"Unless the Year of Blood repeats itself and resorts to war, or disaster strikes and repeats what happened in Longxiao City, I really can't imagine any other means to defeat this invulnerable and unassailable city in the Kingdom of Stars overnight.

City of Queens to oust Kevin Dill from the ducal throne.”

The bloody year, the flames of war.

Disaster, old events in Longxiao City.

Thales' breathing stagnated, and the scene of the Dragon's Blood Night appeared in front of him.

but not.

Thales denied himself with all his strength:

impossible.

This is not Exeter.

He won't.

But the voice in the bottom of my heart calmly reminded him that when he was in Longxiao City, you thought the same thing: impossible.

That's your father, the Iron-Fisted King.

Are you sure?

Thinking of this, Thales only felt a slight numbness on his back.

And if...

If that day comes...

Thales didn't dare to think any further.

"so."

The next moment, the lord of Emerald City turned around, his words filled with chill:

"This makes me even more uneasy."

Zhan stared at Thales, his tone showing a rare fluctuation:

"Extremely disturbing."

Thales frowned:

"You mean..."

"Tales, do you think that even we can discover and see these facts?" The Duke of South Bank's voice was anxious and restrained, like an archer who drew his bow to full length and continued to persevere while trembling, "Revival

The master of the palace, your father, the Iron-fisted King, His Majesty Kessel V, wouldn’t he know?”

The iron-fisted king.

Thales' expression changed.

Facts that even we can discover...

Wouldn't he know?

These words were like a thunder, waking the prince up from the lights of thousands of houses in front of him.

The wind was blowing high in the building, and Zhan En's robe was blown to pieces, which for a moment overshadowed the singing and dancing behind him.

"But..." Thales said subconsciously.

The Duke accepted his words and still looked down at the city that his family has ruled for generations in the cold autumn wind:

"But he, our supreme king, still sent you here, to the Emerald City."

"Send to the Queen's City."

At that moment, looking into Zhan's eyes, Thales suddenly felt a sense of horror, and even got goosebumps.

He is right.

The voice from the bottom of my heart sounded faintly:

That's your father.

The supreme ruler of the kingdom.

Maybe he can't always have his way.

But he is never aimless.

Think of Longxiao City.

Think of Camp Bladefang.

"So, we know that this place is an iron wall, easy to defend and difficult to attack."

Zhan En stared at the town below him, his words trembling slightly:

"Your father is still so confident and decisive?"

"What exactly is he planning to do? What other means are there that can overthrow Kevin Deere's centuries-old rule and take away this indestructible city?"

The cold wind is getting stronger and stronger, and Zhan En's tone is getting colder and colder.

"Or is it that the king has already calculated his chips and is ready to conquer this special city even if he pays unimaginable costs and sacrifices, lays down millions of people and bleeds for thousands of miles?"

It was the first time that Thales saw Zhan like this.

At this moment, the Duke of Nan'an was like a warrior fighting against thousands of troops alone. He gritted his teeth tremblingly and raised his last sword.

Or, try your best to fight to the death.

Or, for the sake of dignity, turn the sword edge...

At that moment, looking at the man in front of him, Thales suddenly understood something.

"fear."

The Duke of Nan'an was slightly startled: "What did you say?"

the same.

Thales said to himself silently:

He and I are the same.

"What you feel is not uneasiness."

The prince turned to the outside of the observation tower and spoke slowly: "It's fear, the fear you feel when you realize that you are facing the Supreme King."

"fear?"

There was still doubt in Zhan's voice.

Thales looked back and confirmed:

"Yes, believe me, I know it very well."

certainly.

The voice in his heart said to Thales, with deep fear and vigilance:

You know.

you know.

You know it too well.

Zhan's expression moved slightly, and he looked at Thales differently.
