The Amber Sword: Act Fifty-Five Preparations for the Mission

The first Holy War generally refers to the War of the Holy Saints that happened a thousand years ago. The four Saints led the Black Iron races to fight against the brutal rule of Dragon of Darkness. The countless songs praised the glorious and sacred war.

The second Holy War started at the end of Year of Chaos. It was the God Holy War battle initiated by Faanzanian, Kirrlutzian, and Wind Elf in order to open up the vast wilderness and Black Forest between the three countries. It belongs to the era of Pioneer Knight, the magnificent generosity on the wilderness. The tragedy continued until the establishment of Aouine's. Since then, the territory of the three Great Emperor countries has basically taken shape. Only narrow and dark forests remain as buffer zones between countries. This war is also magnificent and lasts for nearly two centuries. The name of Holy War is therefore While standing.

The third time, Holy War, began in the glorious year. It lasted for nearly half a century --, and it turned out that this war was neither glorious nor honorable, especially the November War in the last seven years. The bloodshed became people The only memory of this war. The reason for the beginning of the war stems from the Magicite technology brought by the rise of Hazellian. The introduction of new technologies has brought countries into the most prosperous era, but the hidden dangers caused by population expansion have also been presented one by one. When the population began to flow into the border, the eyes of the empire You have to invest in the remaining unopened areas.

Starting in the glorious year, three Great Emperor Country compliance Holy Covenant Common direction Four Borders Plain Frontier march from Alkash The war started south of the mountains, but it turned into a terrible mistake. Throughout the war, due to the contradiction of land division, the royal families did not trust each other and Holy Cathedral Growing conflict between doctrines, plus Origin Association Believers make trouble and deceive the mind, First Era Three hundred and twenty years -- Year of Change, Kirrlutzian of Luwurtz local legion All of a sudden Wind Elf Flanking -- The battle was apparently in retaliation for an earlier conflict, but many of them Origin Association Acting shadow. Subsequently Wind Elf Humans on one side legion Revenge was also launched, which completely intensified the contradictions. Wind Elf Fight each other on the narrow battlefield, Origin Association Infiltrate into the upper levels of an orderly society noble Played a significant role in the battle, but most noble When I woke up, the results were long gone.

But this actually reflects the human heart from a certain side, Scholar Ron Samillian of Rune Fort wrote in his book, 'People shirk their sins too much into some evil power without reflecting on one's own. Fault. In fact, history has already proven that this kind of force only played a certain driving role in the entire course of the war, but it only exposed the ugly side of human nature. -- ', this statement describes the war at that time. Scene, after June, Faanzanian Chiluo barely joined the war, then Torquine's Leonin, large and small principalities and kingdoms were all drawn into the vortex, the war dragged all participants into an endless battle , Because of hatred, greed or whatever, until they are exhausted from each other.

Kirrlutzian Occupied the whole after the war Four Borders Plain Plus four-leaf clover A small part of the plain, including what originally belonged to Wind Elf's Large tracts of land, Faanzanian Is the biggest winner, taking advantage from both sides, Leonin Addresses their need for hatred, while many principalities, large and small, are enslaved in war -- Because the empire nobles Greed, or the need for the course of the war -- It looks like a second time Holy War in Year of Cave Beast It has come to an end, but in fact the seeds of deeper hatred have long been planted, the final trust between the empire and the empire has been lost, and the friction on the border has intensified. Almost everyone understands that these three beasts are just lost It takes a short recuperation to gain strength, and each of them can't wait to jump up and bite each other immediately.

Kirrlutzian needs to make some kind of compensation for the blood of noble shed from November War in the last seven years. Although they have benefited from the war, they are more hurt. This kind of pain makes the entire noble class popular Impetuous and fiery, they increasingly want to be free from that disreputable war and punish Faanzanian and Wind Elf. This atmosphere has made Kirrlutzian aggravate the exploitation of small countries, and also allowed the penetration of Origin Association to have a wider market. However, for Wind Elf, it is also an unforgettable hatred. It is the same for Faanzanian and Kirrlutzian. They lost territory during the war and naturally want to retake it. The only Faanzan who hopes to keep the results of the last war, because the Kirrlutzian and Wind Elf's on the border continue to provoke, and gradually start to become less impatient.

The fourth time Holy War -- or the third time, because of the third time Holy War's reputation, the world is more and more reluctant to associate the subsequent Holy War with War of the Holy Saints, especially Scholar, many of them War of the Holy Saints is not regarded as a war of the same type to expand the territory, but it is taken from history alone and put aside --. The pain caused by the second war is destined to erupt in the third war. This is Every country has long anticipated things, but it really started earlier than everyone expected.

At the end of July, the death frost forest exploded.

On the same day, Torquine, Wallez and Aokins were bombarded by Fourteenth Circle spell Divine Judgment, and countless dead and wounded. The three cities were almost turned into fly ash.

In the following two months, Goldmane Leonin began to gather an army. Their attack moved away from the Greymount mountain range and Yanilas in the south, crossed the Holy White Plain, and began to march toward Kirrlutz. At the beginning of Moon of Hoar Frost, Leonins left the warm The Great Plains arrived at the Lion Fortress and shut down. The news of the war spread throughout the Kirrlutz Empire within half a month. In the same month, the Wind Elves revenge army set off from the ruins of Aokins and sneaked into the red legion of Kirrlutzian on the four-leaf clover plain. Wind Elf quickly regained several towns and forts on the four-leaf clover plain, and Kirrlutzian was launched on the border of Four Borders Plain Stalemate.

As for Faanzanian, although there is still no action on the surface, their army has already begun to assemble -- from White City and Graciousness.

When Constance and Vala Great Deacon summoned the envoys of Holy Cathedral of Fire and noble to Lucita, Brando understood that the second chapter of game, the era of -- war and chaos, already came ahead.

Her Highness the Princess confirmed the candidates for the mission in the shortest time.

First of all, the Commander of the mission is naturally Brando. Although there are many objections in royalist, Gryphine has suppressed all the objections. She understands the true purpose of Brando's trip and supports the Lord Count to do so. . Most of royalist's opponents think that this is an act of indulgence of childishness and impulsiveness, but she doesn't think so. Brando's phrase 'This is the backbone and pride of a nation' finally moved her. The kingdom really needs some belonging to one's own Proud, Gryphine understands that such a banner will allow her to get some people who really support her, not those timid noble.

They broke up with her on already as early as Ampere Searl. The Her Highness the Princess didn't have any luck with this.

If a kingdom's noble does not stand with her, then she must at least stand with her nationals, Brando's words, as if a lighthouse was lit for her in the darkness.

And next, for the royal family, the Her Highness the Princess still stubbornly chose Halutz --, which made Brando somewhat flattered. He was very clear about Laws between Vaunde noble, so he also knew the reason why Her Highness the Princess chose -- because Halutz is the future crown prince of Aouine. For whatever purpose, Kirrlutzian cannot detain him in the empire. Otherwise, The Silver Queen will not only offend all her nations, it will even leave a very bad reputation in the empire noble. .

But it still takes some risks to do so. The crown prince's long journey itself is full of instability factors. Imperial Prince Lenarret, which is still reclusive in Trentheim, is a ready-made example. But Gryphine has made up her mind to willingly let her beloved brother take risks and protect Brando, the envoy of Commander, because she understands the significance of Brando for Aouine's at this moment. If he died in Kirrlutz, then she and Halutz have the same future. It was bleak, she knew what she was going to do, and in her opinion: Halutz, as the future king of Aouine, it was time to take responsibility for the future of this kingdom.

This is what she said to her only brother: "Halutz, you and your teacher ’s mission experience will probably become the most valuable Wealth in your life; Halutz, this may be me The last time I told you, you have to be strong alone because you are King of Aouine. "

Little Prince had no objections, but was frightened by the severeness of his sister, almost crying, but was stared hard by Princess Gryphine, and swallowed tears into his stomach, and then honestly Nodded.

With a little gratitude for this Her Highness the Princess, Brando returned to Trentheim and began to select the 'servants and deputies' accompanying him. He hated it clearly. The so-called mission was just a guise. What he was going to do was clear to everyone around him. Therefore, what this so-called diplomatic mission needed was not a courtesy full of noble etiquette, but a An army that can turn the Kirrlutz upside down.

This ‘army’ is small, and he already has a suitable candidate in his mind.

"Because almost all the funds in the territory are invested in the preparation for war, -- is mainly recruiting and training of White Lion Guards, building weapons and armor, as well as Magic Crystal overhead, daily maintenance, acquisition of rare materials, etc. After --, anyway, building in Black Forest is now basically stopped by already. This situation can be maintained for about three to four months, and no later than half a year, we will have shake our previous results.

The carriage was bumping, Lin Ying went through the window, leaving a mottled pattern on the black dress as the wheel moved forward. Brando's face was lit up by light and shadow, and he listened to miss merchant with one hand on his chin. Reporting -- to myself rarely seems to be a boring thing in Little Romaine, so the little eyebrow is screwed into a ball. As part of the merchant's interest, she doesn't mind reading the pile of books or similar But if she read them one by one and turn them into audiobooks, she started to feel a little bit dry.

But this is what Brando wants her to do. She used this reason to convince herself about five minutes and more than ten seconds, but she immediately found a new excuse. -- Brando always liked to see her in trouble. Make her very unhappy. Lady Romaine was unhappy, and Romaine began to realize this. She raised her feather-like eyebrow and quickly moved her mouth and said, "White Lion Guards had almost a hundred casualties in the previous war ..."

Brando stared at this guy with a stare: "Wait, what did you say in the second half, I didn't understand at all."

"The content of the second half is like isn't that so, but I read it very quickly and you didn't hear it clearly, but I finished reading already." miss merchant began to fool as always.

"You are playing tricks, aren't you saying that you should read the report to me this afternoon? I have to understand what happened to the territory during this time." Brando answered angrily.

"But I finished reading already, and used my aunt to teach me -- 'witch's fast reading method', Brando did not hear clearly that Brando is not witch, that has nothing to do with Romaine," her black eyes glared Turn around and stuff a stack of reports into the hands of Flo next to it: "But you can let Flo read it for you, she won't 'witch's fast reading method', so Brando need not worry that it will not be heard clearly."

Brando is convinced that her "witch's method of fast reading" must have temporarily popped out of that little brain and didn't know what corner, but the Miss merchant's imagination is so rich that it has the same name before and after There is a difference. He rolled his eyes and was too lazy to take it apart, because this ojou-sama will be able to justify himself anyway. This is a Lady Romaine stunt that rolls on the ground, and most people ca n’t learn it.

He looked at Flo, who was sitting opposite them and turned a blind eye to the two living treasures including Lord Thane in front of her. She silently sorted out the manuscript and continued reading: "White Lion Guards's casualties have been from Trentheim, The recruits recruited by the Minteye regional police team were supplemented. In addition, they recruited another 500 people, a total of 1,500 people compared with the previously expanded part. However, these recruits are still training in Trentheim and Radnor, and they are unusable for a short time.

"Cagliss did a good job." Brando praised.

The scenery outside the car window has long been replaced by a quiet mountain forest. This is the second day after returning to Trentheim. He stretched out in the compartment and found that he felt more relaxed after returning to the territory. Although Bruglas's home was very warm, he still twisted -- in the face of his dad. After all, this is the one's own site he set up hand to foot. He originally wanted his parents to move to Trentheim, but Old Scott refused to accept it stubbornly. Although his mother Wensha looked a little emotional, he still couldn't make it. Fortunately, Bernard promised to send someone to take care of his family. There are Highland Knight Protection doesn't care about possible retaliation for Madara.

And Her Highness the Princess did not succeed in the end. Princess Gryphine had to arrange for him to go to Kirrlutz's Commander. Naturally, he had to go to Trentheim to inspect the team he had chosen for the --. Beware that this Lord Count really took an army to Kirrlutz. Of course, this is just a plain excuse. Princess went to a subordinate's territory in private. In fact, it did not conform to the rules and had an adverse impact on her reputation. But the world knows that Trentheim and Radnor Shire are next to Vlada. She insisted It is not unreasonable to detour from Trentheim.

But Brando knows that Her Highness the Princess will not leave easily if they come to Fir Tree Shire this time. He left Aouine and went to Kirrlutz. The influence on the situation in the kingdom is an unstable factor, and at least on the surface, Her Highness the Princess is still standing behind Trentheim in the eyes of the world. If he is Count of Tonigel out of the kingdom for a short time, then she It is likely to face the danger of being suspended once again by royalist.

The reason she came to the one's own territory this time was to have a mentality behind the inspection and to show the outside world a close relationship with his Count of Tonigel. For these considerations of Her Highness the Princess, Brando didn't think too much at first, only when Her Highness the Princess came to resign for him, but only after he reminded him through Amandina. In fact, Trentheim and the royal family are also interdependent. When he was not in the country, his territory in particular needs to be recognized by the royal family. This is related to the legitimacy of the territory and to avoid being taken in by royalist.

So after understanding Eldest Princess's considerations, he started to cooperate tacitly.

For this reason, Princess Gryphine sealed the title of Count of Radnor -- on the first day of his arrival in Trentheim. This is actually a compensatory title, because Trentheim was never County. Originally, Brando had no ambitions for Radnor. In his original plan, Radnor and Anlieke should be merged into the royal territory. further strengthens the power of the central government and can also serve as an example for other places. Besides, Anlieke has a kingdom. The second best soldier source -- Highlander (Aouine's main soldier source comes from Greymount area), Radnor is the most prosperous territory of Southern Territory except Ampere Searl. After having these two territories, the royal family can have a pivotal speech in Aouine right.

As for himself, Count of Tonigel is just a guise. The land of order developed by Faithwind Circle has the size of Southern Territory near half. After it is fully grown, it is not difficult to create another Aouine. The key is that it contains Exciting minerals and resources made him have little interest in operating other territories.

But Princess Gryphine eliminated his idea with only a few potentials. Her Highness the Princess told him seriously that Feng Jie was not only a reward, but also a recognition, based on his current status and his relationship with her. If he did not get the title of Count of Radnor today, I am afraid that it would easily cause outside doubts, which would make the situation in the kingdom turbulent. Not only can't aggravate the royal family's right to speak, but will only make the Corcova family prestige, and also the legitimacy of shake Trentheim. After listening to Brando, I realized that the one's own idea is a bit too naive and had to follow the good.

After obtaining the title of Radnor, nominally, he obtained a part of the command rights of Southern Legion, and this expansion is actually carried out under this name.

Princess Gryphine just did n’t see it, not to mention the attribution of the original Southern Legion that was still resting in the Ampere Searl area at the moment. Brando also seemed to pretend to forget this. The two kept the tacit understanding to perform this play. Outsiders only When the two of them, youngster, have not yet understood the operation of the local forces in the kingdom, including royalist, almost no one reminded them of this, as if holding a joke mentality and waiting to see them ugly. However, many people inside Trentheim understand that one's own Lord Thane apparently got some kind of intention to prepare the Southern Territory regional nobles -- legion forces from the roots to restrain each other and drag the hind legs of this mess.

However, this plan has just begun, Brando has to want to put it aside, and give it to Cagliss or Her Highness the Princess, because Kirrlutzian annoyed him. He interrupted the sister in front of Wild Elf and skipped this paragraph directly and asked: "In terms of preparation for war, the reserve of materials can be slightly slowed down. If we really want to start a war with Kirrlutzian, it is not possible to just be Trentheim. Her Highness the Princess will find a way to help with local matters. The focus of materials and funds should be on Valhalla, Flo. If I need to use all Valkyrie, how long can the territory afford?

"If the pace of other aspects is slowed down, the supply of the Magic crystal ore in Black Forest should be no problem for one year, Lord Thane." elven girl replied unchanged.

"What if you want to keep building within Black Forest?"

"Three months to six months."

Brando nodded: "What about the acquired materials?"

"At present, there are only Phoenix wings and singing silver. The quantities are very scarce. As for other Lord Thane materials, there is no eyebrows at the moment." Flo looked at him and said.
