Many soldiers were pierced by sharp blades and fell to the ground helplessly.

And at the end, when Araka drags the bodies of his subordinates and leaves with the survivors, the rickety and lonely figure of Wrath of the Kingdom is seen.

"No."

Thales raised his head and said coldly.

The Grand Duke showed a strange expression. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Thales steadily.

"Val Arend, he is not a hero, but a poor man living in his own imagination," the second prince said expressionlessly: "War cannot bring peace, and death cannot repay life."

"And the hatred and anger will not disappear just because of the coronation of the two kings."

The Grand Duke clasped his hands, his expression unchanged: "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is," Thales wiped the dagger clean on his sleeve, inserted it back into his waist, and said nonchalantly, "What you said is just like farts."

Grand Duke Lombard's face darkened.

"You know, you are on a dangerous journey," the Grand Duke said with a grim expression, "And what you are doing now is rejecting a powerful ally who can bring you huge benefits, ensure your safety and even the throne."

"My experience tells me that you should be careful with those who want to be your allies, no matter how sweet-talking or sincere they are," Thales looked at Lumba, watching the other person's expression slowly turn gloomy, and he said calmly:

"And I cannot believe you, His Excellency the Grand Duke Charmaine Lombard."

"Why?" Charmaine leaned forward, his face looking uncertain in the flickering firelight: "Because so many people died under your command?"

"Not only that."

"It's also because of your indifference and hypocrisy towards the death and sacrifice of your men," Thales said coldly: "Our alliance with you is destined to be betrayed. Compared with executing the alliance, we may gain more.

I can definitely say that when the covenant breaks down, the losses I will suffer will far exceed the benefits I gain."

"And I feel deeply about that."

Lumba's eyes began to become cold and scary.

"Besides, I hate what you said," Thales thought of Alaka's lonely back, gritted his teeth and shook his head: "Those people on the battlefield... they died for your selfish desires."

"As for such nonsense as 'a worthy death' and 'war is for peace,'" Thales grabbed the wine glass and sneered, "Keep it to yourself."

silence.

"At first I thought you were mature and stable, with a mind beyond your years," Lombard snorted coldly and said in a bad tone, "but now you act like a child."

"That's right." Thales said coldly.

He threw away the wine in the glass and said to the gloomy Lombard:

"And kids can't drink."
