The Amber Sword

v6 Chapter 208: Veil I

In the first age of 376, at the end of the Year of the Sword, everything is withered, and when the severe winter is approaching, when many times have passed, we will remember what happened during this month. On the north side of the Opsom Evergreen Corridor, a small town east of Metz, along the frosted mountain road near this town, dejected people are retreating, and several long lines meander through the forest in the early winter. Coiled, people stepping on a shallow layer of snow and creaking branches, silent, the rows of knights walked past, the bright armor was stained with piercings, the spears were covered with gaps, and the flags were pulled It is full of holes, big and small.

Duke Odwig's face was dusty, his hands were trembling like chicken feet, he was shaking, his bare fingers were covered with blue frostbite, he could only grab the stables subconsciously, and he looked at it dullly. In one scene, it seemed that he hadn't awoken from that nightmare. Of course, he may prefer not to wake up, so that he will always be buried in that dream and let time freeze in the moment when the Cruz Cavaliers charge, and never, never wake up.

Several dragons flew to the south in a hurry, and when they passed over the hills, they brought a gust of ice and blasted the pine forest. People like the walking dead looked up and looked at this scene with wooden eyes, but none of them Complaints. The eldest son of the Cruzs sits on his saddle, motionless, like a puppet, with dark eyes constantly changing colors, as if still reappearing the horrible light seen on that day .

The figure across the sky was falling slowly. The heroes of the dragons, Owen Rose, the dragon king of this generation, lost his dead body and fell heavily on the ground. The dragon mourned and screamed, the incomplete corpse fell like raindrops, and a huge black hole was suspended in the center of the sky. The terrifying and creeping creature that emerged from the back of the black hole was its past masters who had left the world for countless years, it was the giant **** Milos, the dragon **** Bahamut, and it came back. Come back and destroy your people with your own hands.

Above the earth, the full front stepped back a little and broke down completely. Many people fell to their knees desperately, crying and weeping, praying, begging, and hoping that Martha could save them, but they did not get a response, some Just endless darkness and pain. There was killing, the will of the dusk swept across the battlefield, watching all this indifferently, and then it silently retracted its gaze.

Thousands of worlds have been destroyed, but that is only a moment in its eyes.

Empire is over

Founded more than 1,500 years ago, it has a glorious past and a long history. It is engraved on the magnificent palace with a mortal kingdom full of brilliant words, murals and carvings about the past. Under the heavy blow from the connection, it was as if a proud knight was seriously injured. The helmet is broken and the sword is stained, and the bloodstained frontier is high, with his head held high, his eyes firmly fixed on his enemies, and the Tamil poets take their last breath in their emotional and generous tragedy.

He fell. Destined to completely rewrite the historical process of the entire continent, but this year's people trapped in the severe winter and the quagmire could not pass the news on the first time. Countryside blocked by the catastrophe of disasters, large uninhabited areas. The elves tried their best to save the disaster from the border. They did not know that time had passed in a minute and a minute of silence, and the first messenger raged through the new black near the crack in the Evergreen Corridor. When the forest came to Ingers Ta'an Hilllund, the deputy chief of the Red Army, the crucial two months had been lost, and by the time humans and elves re-established trust, they didn't understand What an important thing I lost.

time.

Time to change everything.

A month later, a letter from Cape Bay was transferred to the Black Sword Fortress, with only a short line of text on it:

‘Help, whoever you are, wherever you are, help us, we ’re done, the fleet ... we ca n’t resist them ...’

The signature on the letter is concise and powerful: Chris King. Count King. The pride of the nobleman in the cloak bay, the uncle of the silver queen, the husband of princess valley, the imperial admiral with a strong reputation and a reputation that is difficult to describe with pen and ink, what is revealed in the text is a kind of gray Withered despair, like the desperate words of someone who is about to die. At the end of the letter, he stamped his mark with his own stamp, as if stained with blood, the red mark seemed to foretell an unknown **** future.

...

Freya rode a horse and stood on the hillside near Winomare, watching the retreating undead army below the lakeshore area. The first snow of Eruin had not yet fallen, and there was still autumn in the mountains. Xiao Se, the bare trees were covered with teeth, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves. The tall gray Karasuma stood in a cluster of heathers, carrying his owner on his back, and threw it away. The tail, driving the worms.

Behind the horse, the soldiers looked admiringly at their commander. Some young knights even had the admiration in their eyes. Just two months ago, with the counterattack of the banshee king Alvite, Eruin Man launched an offensive against Redeos from both the left and right wings, thus winning the first victory since the Second Black Rose War.

In that battle, Freya led the Valkyrie decisively into the junction between the two armies of the undead. She was the first soldier in the battle and shouted the name of Eruin above the battlefield, like a banner. It led everyone forward, and with the rising morale of the White Lion Guard heavy knights defeated the black knights of Madara in one fell swoop, thus completely establishing the victory.

In this campaign, both of the two deputies of Leodios were in battle. He was also seriously injured. The banshee king Alvette betrayed. Another commander skeleton lord Rolfman also died of the Valkyrie. After this battle, the army of the undead in Winormar was unable to fight again, and was almost blocked by the coalition forces of Denell and Lantonilan in the lakeshore area. Tonyland.

The name of the Valkyrie on the battlefield has spread widely. Since this battle, the guards and knights of the White Lion Guard have almost spontaneously painted three pairs of lightwing emblems on their shields, as if to commemorate them. The shining banner they saw on the battlefield that day

The shining wings of light are always in front of everyone and never stop.

Under the hills, the undead are converging in the direction of the southern Braggs, like a dark ocean, with various flags mixed in, there is no order, and it seems a bit chaotic.

But Freya didn't have much joy on her face.

Her eyes were a little dull.

For half a month, after receiving Brando's letterhead, she knew that the Second Black Rose War had come to an end, which was probably good news for Eruin, although they were in Winoma In this war, the decisive victory was achieved, but the Highland knights were losing ground in Braggs, in Karasu and Viero.

Unlike the blind optimism of many people, during this short year, especially as a guard knight near Princess Griffin, Freya quickly transformed, from that naive from Butch countryside. Little girl, transformed into a qualified commander.

Although it may be a step away from the politician, it is at least enough to let her see something farther than ordinary people see, those factors that determine Eruin's future.

She stood silently on the hills, feeling her own growth, and it felt as if she could finally feel Brando's eyes, and everything he had seen, breathed the future fate together with him.

But everything that was simple and clear in the past has become more complicated.

Alluin is a small kingdom, but it has a powerful enemy. It does not need a trivial victory or revenge. It requires time and change. Peace is too precious for this country.

Precious is almost unbearable.

But the real worry of the Valkyrie was Brando. The letter mentioned that the reason that Her Majesty's Emperor reached an agreement with Eruin. Madara's invasion of Eruin was caused by long-standing misunderstandings between the two parties. Mutual mistrust and hatred blinded the eyes of both the soul and the dead. Only with the encouragement of some mischievous northern lords did this kind of tragedy come about.

Today, Her Majesty's Emperor Madara has made up his mind to quell these northern delinquents. Therefore, he needs to be transferred back to the army to suppress the country. The black rose of Bromanta, the behemoth and the small kingdom of Eruin, which is lumped together, Reasons should let go of the dispute, there is never a natural contradiction between big and small countries.

Madara has many enemies, but never includes Eruin. Not only that, as a vengeful and natural opponent of the northern lords, Eruin should also support His Majesty's Emperor and reach an alliance with him .

This is a suggestion for Princess Griffin, as well as her students, Her Majesty the King of Alluin, Haruzer.

It was such a letter.

The clouds of war that shrouded above the head of this ancient kingdom have disappeared.

But Freya knew that it would soon make a big splash on another 'battlefield' of the kingdom. From Viero to Rantonilan, from Silman to Jean-Dernell, the royal party had already acted.

It's not just the nobles. In fact, these days, she has heard a lot of complaints. The knights complained that their Lord Lord deprived them of their glory. They should have done everything to completely destroy Manowell's army of undead.
