The Amber Sword: Act 512 Kingdom Rebirth (Part 2)
The purple ocean is disappearing from the valley.
The herald absentmindedly looked at that direction, and after a while, she turned back and said in an unbelievable tone: "They ... they are retreating from the first line of defense, Your Excellency Army Commander."
Veronica looked at this scene calmly.
In the valley, Fina lifted the helmet upwards, and flung long golden hair, all covered with steaming sweat. She threw the helmet out of the air and raised the Knight sword with the blade in her hand, and shouted hysterically to the distance:
"We won!" Tears could not help but burst into tears.
Knights was already cheering by her side.
Everyone is cheering.
Magdelle stood silently next to one's own's grandfather, White Wolf Sword Saint Blanc pressed sharp rocks with one hand, and watched this scene condescendingly. The breeze rushed across Alkesh Valley, as if a gentle hand was touching between the bare mountains and rocks, with ragged flags, wreckage and flowing blood.
This is a tragic victory.
On the countless Air Ship in the air, Hazellian and Kirrlutzian watched this scene together. -- This is the first retreat of Crystalline in three months.
It's self-explanatory.
This is the beginning of Year of the Swift. The upheaval that people have experienced in the past six months is far more violent than at any moment in history. Kirrlutz Empire civil strife, Black Moon fall, Mana tide coming, Twilight recovery, Hakusan disaster, Chaos of Aouine, wizard war start and end --
In the end, however, Vaunde emerged from a series of complicated events. With the end of the wizard war, under the public bow of the Buga people, Saers and Madara finally came together. As if in the darkness of reaching five fingers, people finally saw the dawn of a light.
That may be the darkest moment before Dawn.
The combined fleet of Hazellian and Kirrlutzian traversed more than half of the Holy White Plain, and wrote a perfect period at the end of the battle. Year of Sword's Month of Winter Chords, Bahamut fell outside Kanderbeg, and Quinn Leonin, who rejoined Holy Covenant, abandoned their former suspects and helped their former enemies Aouinian calm down the rebellion during the Corcova battle.
After the destruction of the Sasaarland alliance, the coalition of Nine Phoenixes and Buga people began to clear the remnants -- sacrifice Wild Centaur of Dragon of Twilight on the Great Plains of the East. And once the war on the eastern front is declared over, it is foreseeable that the re-conclusion of the Holy Pledge already is near.
Silver Bay sent a second coalition, Undead Army just arrived in the area of Isorin under the command of their emperor, and two elf legion already walked in front of them, entering the valley area of Soland Forest. -- Four Borders Plain was ahead. .
But before these new troops arrived, the Alkesh battle already was announced in advance. The Silver Bay Coalition led by seventh day of the second month, White Wolf Sword Saint Blanc and Princess Magdelle arrived. Two weeks later, the human coalition regained the first line of defense of Babel Fortress.
After this battle, Dragon of Twilight finally began to conquer the one's own force --. Perhaps after the Sasaarland conspiracy was defeated, the chaotic monarch already was tired of repeatedly consuming power in one place.
But the fist is retracted just for the next heavy swing.
-- is celebrated in many areas, especially in Silver Bay. However, for more humans and the senior management of elf, it is becoming more and more aware of this.
Obviously, the victory of a battle is not the end of all of this. On the contrary, it may be the beginning of this long war. Then, it will no longer be a conspiracy and trick, but it will be real. Bleeding and fighting.
The time node seems to be getting closer to already.
A new round of Four Borders Plain meetings is under preparation. This time, Kirrlutzian chose the venue for the conference as Manketor. This place was called sacred white -- in the old Miirna's language. It used to be the place where a sacred vow in War of the Holy Saints was concluded. It is located at the old Holy White Conference site in the center of Four Borders Plain.
The potential implications of choosing such a place are already well known.
Silver Bay states, Hazellian, Faanzanian, Buga people, Nine Phoenixes and even Aerlanta Wild Elf and Sky Circle Druids all already responded to the call of this covenant, not to mention other countries and forces of all sizes, Four Holy Cathedrals once again Together, the scene from a thousand years ago is reproduced at this moment.
As far away as high mountain north of Aouine, an army of dwarves is also crossing the snow-capped mountains, and their destination has long been determined.
Balta in the Valley of the Kings --
The snowstorm already has stopped on this plateau for a week. This will be the last heavy snow this winter. After the heavy snow, the mountains and forests are already preparing for the upcoming Vibrant season.
Everything just waits for the snow and ice to melt, and the spring of Year of the Swift will announce its return.
That will be the hope of recovery.
It's just another scene in the snow-capped valley at this moment. White Lion Legion's Knights are lined up, raising their heads and looking up. Behind the rows of flags are the feet of the restless giants multi-headed hydra --, and the Forest Elf's shooters are appeasing their huge 'comrades'.
Commander Feini walked around the neat Centaur queue, looking a little boringly above the sky. The silver fleet from Trentheim was approaching one by one, and the lights shone in; then the figure of Valkyries appeared in the sky. The heavenly horse, which burned grey flame, flew over the valley, causing a shout of joy and thunder.
Following them were Wyvern Knight and a small number of Griffin heavy cavalry. Knights held the Aouine's flag high. The silver battle flag sang in the wind, which once made the atmosphere in the valley.
The cheers from time to time fell on the snow and crushed ice on the treetops in the distance, fell into the stream below, floating ice floating on the water, disappeared in a whirlwind. At the end of the stream will be the warm south of the kingdom, where spring is already full of spring.
But above Holy Cathedral in the middle of the valley, there suddenly appeared several figures.
One of them is a small head, but the figure seems to embody the heart and power of the whole kingdom.
The valley calmed down.
There is only a sound of quiet breathing.
Everyone looked up, waiting for their commander -- their king.
Crying in the cold wind, Halutz exhaled white gas, blinked slowly, and stared at the whole valley. He gathered the cloak of one's own. The cotton cloak was extremely inconsistent with his size. The long cloak had been dragged on the marble floor. The color was golden red, and the cotton ball was white and white.
He seems a little too weak, almost not like a king, more like an Her Highness the Princess, a little thin and tender little girl --, but he is firm enough to remind people of the same brave Princess Fosha .
The cloak, like a silent agreement, bears on the future heirs of this kingdom.
In the past 100 years, Corcova's country royal capital has chosen to take the throne in Fort Winterclaw. There, they will take the scepter and crown symbolizing the king from Bishop of Holy Cathedral of Fire and become the true rulers of this land.
But today, there are some special things.
The crowd slowly separated.
Halutz turned around, her sister one's own was reflected in her silver eyes. She was slowly walking down the high level ladder accompanied by Oberbeck Sir, and step by step came to her. He saw the crown in her sister's hands, and the dim silver crown was inlaid with the shining gem.
That Correct Goring Gem.
It was born in the hands of a hero, and it has witnessed the birth of another hero. When people retrieved it from the ruins of Dengbao, the brilliance on this gem was not damaged, as if everything in the past could not leave any trace on it.
As this old kingdom's steadfastness and indomitability, it also represents the indomitable courage of Aouinian.
Halutz raises head came, the silver eyes were a little moist, he silently stared at one's own sister.
"Are you ready?" At this important moment, Gryphine was a little bit distracted. She held the crown and asked softly.
Halutz nodded seriously.
A ceremonial officer stepped up and gave him the ruby scepter and Golden Apple.
Halutz held up these two symbols that symbolized the power and power of the king, and looked at him with raises head, -- Princess Gryphine, and said a little nervously, "from today henceforth, you will inherit Aouine the will of the kings and become the new master of this land ... But it is not just rule, it is more responsibility. The vow First King Eicht made under his sword is to guard this land. "
"Halutz," she asked again: "Are you ready, take this kingdom forward."
Halutz is silent.
He has some regrets. On this important occasion, the person who is most important to him is not here. Rather than assume this responsibility, he hopes to be recognized by his teacher. In his mind, only that person is the eternal hero.
Where would you and your sister be without him?
But thinking of the teacher's look towards him, Halutz became firm again and nodded solemnly: "I'm ready, sister."
"Swear it."
"From this moment on, I will become the king of Aouinian, but it is the courage of Aouinian --. I swear that I will stand before everyone and always guard this ancient kingdom until the end of my life." >
Princess Gryphine nodded, she looked at Wolf Knight aside.
Oberbeck one step forward, looking at Halutz, said: "Your life is still very long, my king, but the vows will last forever. Remember, if one day you forget today's vow, not only Lion Heart Sword will leave You go, each Aouinian will call your name the betrayer. "
"I will never betray, Sir Oberbeck."
"I hope to see this day."
Oberbeck raised the Lion Heart Sword in his hand. The bright sword edge still has a shallow crack, but it has already symbolized not only a sword --, which is the power given to the king by noble and the people. He placed the sword on the shoulder of Halutz. Lightly, give it to the young king.
Then he lowered his sword and helped the king to save it into the scabbard.
At that moment, one of the crowd, Miss Adviser, looked at the scene quietly, and she felt a little bit sorry, but full of relief.
Wolf Knight retreat One step, let Princess Gryphine come to her brother. Her Highness the Princess held up the crown in his hand and carefully placed it on top of Halutz. Little Prince lowered his head slightly to bear the weight of this crown.
Gryphine said slightly sternly: "Remember this moment, Halutz, this will be your last bow; from today henceforth, your Majesty the King of this kingdom, you are the symbol of all Aouinian courage, never let this ancient The kingdom has lost its backbone. "
"I remember, sister."
The crown was gently put on.
Halutz also raised his head in at the same moment.
The crows and birds are silent in the whole valley.
This is how many people look forward to the scenes of countless moments, how much blood and tears, to pay for the rebirth of this kingdom.
Three days ago, Aouine's's last fief holding noble, Count of Greymount voluntarily surrendered its power. And make one's own daughter -- Idunn join Chamber of Nobles and become a noble MP.
A month ago, frustrated Archduke of Lantolian took her great-granddaughter one's own to declare her retreat and returned one's own fief to the royal family.
Afterwards, Archduke of Callas was also willing to go to the Corcova Province long residence at the invitation of the royal family. With the support of the Cardillos family, Highland Knight had previously fallen to the royal family and accepted the collection of White Lion Legion, and became a true military force belonging to Aouine's.
During the severe winter of Year of Sword, all involved in the rebellion nobles got their due end. Any noble who participated in collusion with Origin Association or Sasaarland people has been hung on gallows outside Ampere Searl.
Viero province, Golan-Elsen Province was directly withdrawn by the royal family, no longer sealed.
In the north, the rebels have long since disappeared.
The final resistance of Swallowburg County was also surrendered under the attack of the royal fleet; waiting for the end of these people will not be much easier than the nobles of the South involved in the rebellion and may be deprived of noble status. already is the most benevolent treatment.
Behind this great recovery is the biggest change in the history of old kingdom. For the first time, the entire kingdom has been completely integrated, rather than actually being in the hands of large and small fief holding noble.
This is the birth of a central kingship, but it also witnesses the contract between the royal family and noble, noble and the people. In the future, this may be a country that belongs to all Aouinian.
As Brando described in the letter.
A week ago, this Aouinian hero, Trentheim Thane, Her Highness the Princess's Knights -- legendary Count of Tonigel sent such a letter from distant Saers.
In that letter, for the first time, he entrusted everything in Trentheim, including even Valhalla, to his only student in Aouine in written language.
This Lord Count method shocked everyone, but in addition to being incredible and shocking, people's hearts are more deeply admired.
Some people can turn the tide and save everything.
These people are called heroes.
But others can calmly walk out of the glorious Halo. When the world was still indulged in illusory pride, his eyes had already seen the history, and he had seen the established through the mists. s future.
They should probably be called Fool.
But in any case, Aouinian will remember such a name.
As if they remembered his grandfather.
History is no longer here.
An old kingdom is reduced to ashes in the flames.
But another brand new Aouine already appears, just like the shining crown.
"For Aouine!"
"For Her Majesty the King!"
"May the black pine evergreen,"
"I wish Aouine will last."
"May the faith shine like never before."
"May the sword be as sharp as before."
Your Majesty, holding his scepter, turned slowly. He dragged his long cloak to the edge of the terrace, and his childish silver eyes stared at all his subjects.
It's a boiling sea.
He then raised his scepter high and pointed towards the northern border of the kingdom.
After half a century since the second Holy War, at this moment, the army of Aouinian has once again stepped out of the country from here. Their opponents will no longer be compatriots -- but will fight for the future of the order world.
