A crowd, even if it were filled ell-trained soldiers, was more unpredictable and more fathomless than a restless sea And only the most experienced old boatmen could foresee the storm before it came

Gulun, the deputy commandant, looked out at the faces of the hundred or so chiliarchs, most of whom he was familiar with to the point that he could call out their nae as a pack of beasts with hostility hidden behind their smile as if they were ready to tear him apart at any ht in front of your eyes,’ Gulun said to hiht be able to work ner Although Azheba and his fellow officers were reckless, they had at least dared to put their ideas into practice He had to do so too

The five candidates sat in a row, each with an eenerals and officers ranked below captain had five small sheepskins in their hands, one of which was stained with blood They would line up in front of the wine-jars and throw a sheepskin into each, and the man with the most blood-stained sheepskins would be the new co to tradition, no one was allowed to show his sheepskin to the candidates, let alone speak to them, so eyes were their only estive eyes If all of them were credible, he would be the new commandant for sure

He confidently looked back at them with firm eyes but clearly knew at heart that he, like the other three candidates, were just decorations

The vote was over and everyone heaved a sigh of relief Gulun stood up with a sreeted everyone who came by and occasionally paused to listen to the whispers of the officers, pretending that everything was still up in the air

King Shengri, thewho had once been famous for his wine and bird addiction, was now the ure in the Norland So him before the result had been announced, and Gulun had to push his way through the crowd to reach hiri spread his aresture, already prepared with a feords of ridicule on the tip of his tongue

Gulun had also prepared a few greeting words, but he changed his ri with a dagger held high in his hand But he wasn’t a killer and couldn’t bear the dramatic temptation of words, so he shouted, “You traitor to the Norland…”

No one was allowed to enter the tent with a weapon, but in the Norland, a dagger was seen more as a tool than a weapon, so no one cared about the Shengri was so frightened that he didn’t even have any time to put away his smile, which made the whole scene feel more bizarre

Gulun suddenly felt a pain in his lower back and fell onto King Shengri, no longer able to thrust out with his dagger

The second assassination in the Court Attendants Army had also failed

Gulun, the assassin, died under the gaze of over a hundred people The news ih the whole ca out of a daed as it proliferated, but ’ in their retelling of the event

“There’s no such thing as coincidence The Co showed up soon afterward Is he a flying immortal?”

“He’s not an immortal but a devil You know, he has a devil bird It’s said that the bird likes to eat dead people, and many people have died in the Royal Court recently…”

“Indeed, the night before yesterday I saw a very large shadow in the sky that definitely couldn’t have been a cloud”

“The Dragon King must have ordered the devil bird to kill the Commandant so that he could then he appear and play the part of a good s froions and Co forced to eat them”

“Do you remember, ever since that devil came, the Royal Court has been in turmoil One misfortune after another …”

The soldiers woke up fro brought life, who had been suathered at the tent of the Dragon King

The influence of the ru was accused and seen as a nified by a thousandfold The crowd stopped a few dozen paces away and was held back by the s of hatred and fear

“Silver Condor is exorcising the devil” These words were like a secret signal that spread through the crowd like ripples No one asked how Silver Condor had suddenly appeared in the camp

The duel that was about to start was interrupted Silver Condor took a glance at the crowd and said, “As I said before, you can’t escape the prairie”

Gu Shenwei shook his head slightly, replying, “I also said that I didn’t kill him”

As he looked up at the starry sky, Silver Condor, who had never believed in ghosts and Gods, could al down at him He could not explain the coincidence of hie to the Dragon King He wasn’t very sure of winning at the beginning, but now he felt that losing was ion King, and subdue the deer

“Ehh, aren’t you King Riyao’s guard? Why are you wearing a suit of the Court Attendants Ar Riyao’s subordinates had just stirred up trouble in the camp so this accusatory question immediately attracted the whole crowd’s attention No one found the questioner but all eyes quickly focused onto the one soldier who had just shouted ‘Kill the Dragon King’

“He really is one of King Riyao’s nized panicked There were people everywhere and he had no way to escape “I, I borrowed the clothes I hate the Dragon King as rasslands…”

Soe that Gu Shenwei didn’t understand, but all the soldiers present understood that theRiyao was a uard obviously didn’t understand because he was also froh he had talked with people of the Norland before, he had never seriously learned the local language

“I’m loyal to the Norland No one can doubt that…”

No one doubted hiner like a whirlpool of water and when the whirlpool dissipated, a corpse had appeared on their raised arms
