Theoretically, it would take quite a while to travel from the Kingdom of Alger to the Kingdom of Kelan, but unfortunately, the two people sitting in the carriage, including the driver, were not human.
Using a little inhuman strength to move is a simple matter, but compared to the seemingly peaceful Kingdom of Alger, the Kingdom of Kelan is already in ruins.
Not only was the black dragon lingering not far from the royal city every day, but the Cliff Kingdom, seeing that they were weak, suppressed them mercilessly.
But just as Lin Su, as the God of Darkness, would not care about the life-and-death struggles between dark creatures, the God of Light, Yulia, would not interfere too much in human wars.
And when there's war, there are casualties. Seeing the blood spraying and the injured lying on the roadside, Tang clenched his fists. "Lin, why is this happening?"
"If a ruler is incompetent and a wrong decision is made, it will bring disaster to the country." Lin Su said as he sat next to him. "The Kelan Kingdom could have been on par with the Cliff Kingdom, which is closest to the Temple of Light, because they had their only dragon knight. But they thought that if Ansir could easily control the black dragon, then anyone else could too. Dissatisfied with his disobedience, they decided to assassinate him, which led to the current disaster."
As a ruler and a king, you carry the lives of many people and elves on your shoulders. You cannot be too willful and must understand the consequences of your words and actions.
Tang understood that Lin was using the facts before him to tell him about his responsibilities and words and deeds as a king.
"But the disasters caused by the rulers should not be borne by ordinary humans. They are innocent." Tang looked at the people lying on the roadside. Their bodies were still stained with blood, and some even made painful and low groans, but no one helped them.
"War is always cruel, so ordinary people yearn for peace." Lin Su touched his head and said, "Do you want to help them?"
"I want to!" Tang looked at him and said.
"So what do you want to do? Do you have any idea?" Lin Su looked at him and asked.
"I can help treat their wounds," Tang said.
"That will only speed up the outbreak of war." Lin Su looked at him and said calmly, "Once they recover, they will go back to the battlefield. The victorious side may have won, but as long as there is war, there will be death. If people on this side are saved, more people will die on the other side."
Tang grabbed his arm tightly: "Then what should I do?"
"Tangtang, as a king, you have to think for yourself." Lin Su patted his head and said, "As an ordinary person, you can only save those you see in front of you. As a king, you should consider the interests of more people."
Tang lowered his eyes, wondering what he should do if the Elf Forest was oppressed by such a powerful enemy. If the Dark God who had been hiding in the Elf Forest before was not Lin, and if he still chose to believe him, then the current situation in the Elf Forest would definitely be even more tragic than the scene before his eyes.
That was an irreversible consequence caused by the ruler, and he should bear all the responsibility, face the enemy, and leave the elves with hope of survival.
"Leonard wants to kill the king of Ansir, right?" Tang asked, raising his eyes.
Lin Su nodded and motioned for him to continue.
Tang took a deep breath and said, "If the Black Dragon Leonard only wants the king's life, I think the king should be sent out to shoulder his own responsibilities. Without Leonard's oppression, judging solely by military strength, the Cliff Kingdom should not be able to destroy the Kelan Kingdom. Furthermore, if Cliff can capture the Kelan Kingdom, it will only be the royal family. The impact on the people may be great, but it will not cost their lives."
Kingdoms change very quickly on this continent. You may be a citizen of one kingdom today, but become a citizen of another kingdom tomorrow. The replacement of rulers is even faster than you can imagine, because no matter whether it is a king, queen or princess, she may become the ruler of a kingdom.
The loyalty of ordinary people to the rulers of the kingdom is questionable. What they believe in most is the God of Light who lives in the temple. This is very different from the elves who only recognize their own race, but this also means that the people will not be greatly affected by the change of royal family.
"That makes sense." Lin Su looked at him and said, "So what are you going to do?"
"Let's go to the palace and bring the king out to Leonard." Tang said seriously.
"Who is stronger between you and Leonard?" Lin Su did not object, but asked with a smile.
Tang was stunned for a moment, and said a little embarrassedly: "Ten of me can't beat one of him."
"Since you can easily capture the king from his castle, why can't Leonard catch him?" Lin Su asked.
Tang stagnated in place, trying to put himself in Lin Su's shoes and figure out why. But this was too much of a challenge for an Elf King who had little experience with conspiracy and intrigue. He stared at Lin Su for a long time and said, "I, I don't know..."
I can’t figure it out. He is really an unqualified Elf King.
"Leonard almost lost his beloved, and Ansir was betrayed by someone he trusted." Lin Su flicked his forehead and stopped making things difficult for him. It was good that the little guy had a simple mind. Being a king didn't mean he had to be immersed in conspiracy and intrigue all day long, but there were some things he had to know. "With such deep hatred, it would be too easy for him to just kill him. So Ansir will definitely ask the royal family to hand over their king. The threat of the black dragon and the pressure from the enemy country will make the king live in fear every day, and others will definitely push him out for their own survival."
Sacrificing one person can bring peace to a country, even if that person is the king. Regardless of whether it is the people or the nobles, they will not care whether that person is willing to die or not.
The premise of all this is that the king is at fault first. Without Leonard and the others taking action, His Majesty the King of the Kelan Kingdom will experience the feeling of being betrayed by everyone.
Tang Qu put his finger under his lips, looked at Lin Su in surprise and said, "Lin, what you said makes sense... How do you know everything?"
"If I didn't know anything, we would both be sold and have to help others count money." Lin Su said with a smile.
Tang was stunned for a moment, feeling as if he was calling him stupid. His surprise turned into anger and embarrassment: "You bad guy!"
"I'm helping you analyze it, but the Elf King is turning the tables. Who is the bad guy?" Lin Su grabbed his hand and asked.
Tang stopped where he was, trying to figure out the cause and effect, and realized that he really seemed to be a bad elf: "Ah, well, I... I'm sorry."
He was very angry, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
However, before he could figure it out, Lin Su had already hugged the elf in his arms and changed the subject: "The affairs of the Kelan Kingdom should be coming to an end soon. When everything settles down, you can use the money in the Black Dragon's Lair to help those suffering. What do you think of this?"
