Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 57: At dawn (below)
"That was three hundred years ago." The deputy envoy said lightly.
"At that time, Midil Canxing was one of the many princes of the stars," Putila sighed slightly: "It is said to be very similar to the founding King Tormund I. When he was young, he was an impulsive, lively, restless prince. ."
"He sneaked out of the royal capital soon after he was sixteen years old, to pursue the adventures in those stories and poems, until he met Sara and Kai Peng in the land of Dragon Kiss..."
Thyls raised his eyebrows and said in astonishment: "Sleep out of the capital?"
It turns out...the princes and princesses who slipped out of the court in micro-services, really exist?
"Hey! Don't just talk about the prince of your country," Marquis Schlesy protested. He then turned his head and smiled at the second prince: "Kepen Nihra is from Kangmas, even more so The pride of our city, he was born in a famous business family of a fishery giant. It is said that he was quick-thinking, mature and stable since childhood, and was called a genius... Just like you, Your Highness Thales."
Tyles gave an ugly smile.
"How about you?" Putila glanced at Nicolae who was holding her arms: "Is there nothing to say from the Northlanders?"
The meteorite raised his eyes and looked around at the crowd.
"Sarah is a well-deserved hero, a typical Northlander, a fearless Exeter," Nicolai shook his head blankly. "He has no surname, and future generations don’t need to remember him. His surname—because he doesn’t have to prove his greatness by birth and blood relationship—just looking at what he does is enough."
The Marquis of Shreis blinked helplessly at Putila.
"There is no surname? Is it?" A strange voice came from behind: "But Sara married the noble daughter of the Walton family after the war and melted her blood into the blood of the Dragon Spear family. Inside."
Everyone turned their heads, and Thales was surprised to find that it was Edda who said the words. She was sitting on the snow with her legs in her arms, and disdainful words came from under the cloak.
Speaking of which, this reckless elf guard has talked a lot recently.
"His son followed Walton's surname and became the Grand Duke of Longxiao City. With the help of his father's fame, he was elected as the King of Exeter."
"And Sarah was like this, sitting behind her son and king as the regent for thirty years, until his death."
"It's enough to see what he did? Huh," Edda chuckled, "In my opinion, Sarah, the so-called hero, is nothing more than that when facing power."
Nicolai frowned.
Tyles showed curious eyes.
Putillah coughed: "In short, Your Highness, the three people gathered in the dragon kiss, formed a team, and began a legendary adventure... For ten years, as mercenaries, brigades, merchants, adventurers and even The expedition, their footprints all over the Westland and the West Coast of the Eastland, the friendship between the three is indestructible, and the stories experienced in the middle have long become legends for the bards to compose music for them-especially after the Battle of Dawn."
"For example, "Looking for a Dragon in the Desert", "Hunting a Demon in a Thousand Miles of Devil", "The Devil's Sea", "The Establishment of the Duchy of Anrenzo", "The Wanted Criminal in the Forbidden Woodland", "The Sunset and Rebirth of the Sacred Tree", "The Mystery of the Castle of Souls" ", and "The Sacrifice to the Evil God in the City Horse City", etc., are all famous poems about their experiences in the past ten years."
"At least, Sara's fearless bravery, Midiel's steadfastness and reliability, and Kai Peng's wit and discretion are chanted vividly in these poems."
Tyers became more and more curious as he listened to the name of this poem: hunting for dragons, hunting demons, evil gods... This is what I remember. In those fantasy worlds, life in teams is not What?
Why is my life totally different? He sighed inwardly.
Putila took a deep breath of tobacco and whispered: "And the Third Continental War broke out at that time."
No one spoke.
"Xilu waited until the worst nightmare."
"The three ushered in the most terrifying opponent."
Under Thales's questioning gaze, Putila cleared his throat and whispered a name:
"Ranley Corleone."
"The King of Nightwing."
Putilla raised his eyes and gave Thales a deep look.
Thyls put his hands in the warm fur cloak, and unconsciously touched the fangs bracelet in his arms.
Corleone.
Really.
"He is the master of the Blood Sea Throne, the Patriarch of the Corleone House of Blood Fang, the founder and eternal ruler of the kingdom of night."
"It is said that he is also one of the oldest and most terrifying blood races. According to rumors, when he spreads a pair of giant wings, the dazzling sun will also be enveloped by the **** night." Putila adjusted In his own tone, it looked like everyone was gathering around the fire to tell ghost stories.
"It is said that he has lived for countless years. Before he disappeared, he was once called an existence above the extreme realm."
The missing King of Nightwing, Ramli Corleone... Thales silently recalled the struggle between the two Corleone ladies--or ladies.
That is their "father"?
"Ridiculous, above the extreme?" Nicolai sneered: "Things that don't exist at all are just the rumors of the bard."
Putilai ignored him, but was honest:
"The Third Continental War happened to be the heyday of the Kingdom of Night. The East Continental Army was under the leadership of Ramli Corleone-that was the first time they appointed a blood family as the commander of the coalition. With a small number of elites, they suddenly landed on the eastern sea cliffs, which is the most difficult and most unlikely to land in Exeter, and landed at night."
"According to the experience of the previous two wars, everyone thought that the Eastlanders would land on the stars, and looked forward to the Westland Shield once again stubbornly dragging Eastland’s offensive and defending to Exter’s brave and heavy soldiers. The troops and reinforcements from other countries came."
Thyls was fascinated.
"As you can imagine, the unprepared Exeter was caught off guard, and Elk City was the first to be breached."
The Marquis of Schlesz laughed and said: "After that, the Duke of Elk City will buy a large number of defense equipment from the City of Steel every year to guard against the sea in the east-we will be responsible for the city of Sanliu. Transport."
Putila continued: "The enemy's army is constantly pouring in from this hole on the edge of the sea cliff. It is like a broken bamboo in the empty inland of Exeter, and marches under the city of Longxiao."
"His Royal Highness, you can find the specific battle records in the major historical records." Putila sighed: "In short, after a few tragic battles, the reputation of the Nightwing King was once again recognized. ——That is the most catastrophic series of fiascos that Exter, who is proud of its soldiers and army, has experienced since the founding of the nation."
"As for the reinforcements of other countries going north, even the expeditionary forces of the stars were defeated without warning, and the armies of other small countries could not resist."
"It is reported that none of the ten survivors keeps one."
"Even the then King Exeter was killed in battle under Longxiao City."
Tyles was startled and turned to look at the current commander of the Blade Guard.
"That is also an important page recorded in the "Handling of the White Blade"," Nicolai said suddenly, his eyes complicated and said: "Since the age of the Empire, the tenth time the White Blade Guard has been destroyed, the third time.' The shame of the blade'-let the lord die in our heavy encirclement."
Since the Age of Empires?
Thales secretly asked: Has the Blade Guard have such a long history? Even before Exeter was founded?
Putila shook his head: "No one can withstand the invincible army that the Nightwing King is targeting, and his weird and changeable use of troops and tactics."
"The whole Westland—as recorded in the Supreme History Books—for a short time could not gather even a powerful expeditionary army to meet the Eastlanders."
"In this way, King Nightwing's army is invincible across the North."
"Dragon City fell into a hopeless defense," Putila said indifferently: "After the death of the king, Exeter was in chaos, and only a few princes were still resisting."
"At this time, the Donglu people also sent a letter asking for peace on the current situation. Faced with heavy casualties and huge costs, Xingchen and other small countries have begun to consider Donglu's proposal."
"At this moment, three people stood at the forefront of history and saved the precarious Xilu."
Tyles took a breath: "The Three Heroes of Dawn?"
Putila nodded: "Sarah, Midil, and Kai Peng gathered the remaining army, and their battle inspired the stars and the countries..."
The meteorite interrupted him.
"Stop bragging about yourself," Nicolai sneered, holding his arms and raising his eyes: "Sara...hero Sara, he is the only one to stand up."
"Sara returned to Exeter's battlefield alone, carrying a black flag."
"He appealed and gathered those Exeters who were determined to resist, in the mountains, in the countryside, in the big needle forest, in every inch of land, every piece of territory, not counting the bloodshed, not counting the sacrifices and the east land. People fighting."
"He was helpless, outnumbered, and even defeated at first, but he—Sara never gave up. This is how the hero is, made by pouring courage and perseverance with blood."
"It was an agreement between the three," Putila retorted coldly: "Midil returned to the stars, and Kai Peng returned to Kang Mas, trying to persuade his country to make the last fight-- This does not mean that the other two are cowardly."
"I'm not talking about Midil, but you, the reinforcements of the stars," Nicolai sarcastically said: "Midil brought twenty reinforcements-the bards remember this number Be clear!"
Twenty people?
Thyls looked at Putila curiously, waiting for his reply.
Putila frowned: "The stars at the time were indeed very worried about continuing to send troops. After all, the Nightwing King’s soldiers were in front, and Midiel was just a prince who had been away for many years, and asked for Military power."
"Not only that, as a prince, Midil was ordered not to participate in the battle of Exeter," Putila's eyes were burning: "but Midil did not give in. In the face of such orders, he was in front of all The courtier’s face threw away the nine-pointed star emblem that symbolized the Royal Family of Can Star."
"It means he gave up his right to inherit the throne." Putila said softly.
Thyls widened his eyes slightly.
"'Remember not to forget, the stars established the country by oath.'——He, Midel said so in the face of the entire angry star court."
Oath-keeper.
That's it.
"In this way, the oath-keeper walked out of the Fuxing Palace alone, with twenty warriors who were willing to follow him, and went north to Exter to help Sarah who was fighting alone."
"That's why we only admire the oath-keeper," Nicolai chuckled: "When the entire star becomes a coward--he is one of the few kind of imperial people."
"Even the Kangmas people are better than you!"
Putila said nothing.
"On this question, I have to say that the Prophet Kai Peng actually..." Shreis coughed slightly and interjected: "This is why we Camus admire him..."
"From proposing bills to gathering consensus and passing resolutions, Kepeng Nehra was the only person in history to persuade the Supreme United Council of Kangmas to send troops in 86 days. The fourteen city states at that time agreed. , Hand over all the army, supplies, money, and the last property in his hand to Kai Peng, a thirty-year-old young man, and let him take it to the battlefield of Exeter."
"If you know something about the efficiency of the coalition council, you know a little bit about the greed and stinginess of the city-state councillors..." Marquis Schlesz sighed: "God knows how Kai Peng did it. Of."
"That's your history," Putila squinted: "It's not ours. The last one to save the battlefield is still the reinforcements of the stars, right."
Thyls looked up at the three of them.
"But Kai Peng's move to lead troops out is obviously very effective, and the status of the Confederate Alliance in the world has improved a lot," Shreis spread his hands: "In this way, the three are reunited on the battlefield. , To deal with the army of Donglu."
"The three learned the lessons they had learned before, and this war lasted more than a year."
"Until the end, at the Wellland collar, where we stand under our feet, on this Wellland Snowfield," Putilee said silently: "Sara'hero','prophet' Kaipen Nehra ,'Oath Keeper' Midil Canxing, with the final coalition ambition to counterattack, intercepted the central main force of the Donglu people."
"Here, they are fighting against the invincible and prestigious ‘Nightwing King’ Lanli Corleone, who has been invincible since the invasion of Westland, and launched the final battle with countless fierce troops under his command."
Tyles lowered his head and touched the snow under his feet.
Wayland Snow Field.
Three hundred years ago, on this land...
"The tragic battle started in the early hours of the morning. It is said that the snow covered the snow that night, and the reflections made the moon very scarlet." Putila continued to use his bard's specialties: "Both sides have paid a lot. The casualties, gathered into the blood of Nuanhe, and even let the snow melt in advance."
"Midil killed the armor to pieces, coach Sarah was once in danger, and even the prophet Kaipeng himself was sacrificed in that heroic battle."
"Until dawn, the moment when the sun rises."
The deputy envoy paused, and Thales listened quietly.
No one interrupted him, even Nicolai bowed his head and said nothing.
In the silence of no one, Putila said softly:
"They won."
The cold wind roared across the fire, blowing the crackling flames more vigorously.
"This is the Battle of Dawn."
"It is related to the battle of the saints in the period of the kings, the battle of the reversal of the cold wind in the battle of the end, the glorious battle of the Fourth Continental War, and it is called the four major reversal battles in history-of course it is our Westland The names of the East and the Mainland obviously have very different opinions on this."
Putila slowly concluded: "Heroes, prophets, and oath-keepers have since been called the "Three Heroes of Dawn" in the West."
Tyles took a deep breath.
The Battle of Dawn.
The story of the three heroes.
And his ancestor who was special and casual, willing to abandon the throne for friendship and promise.
In a corner that no one noticed, a figure in a cloak listened to poems and stories from beginning to end, staring at the fire quietly, motionless.
"Midil, even though he lost the royal emblem of the star," the second prince raised his head and asked, "but he still inherited the throne and became the'king of the oath', right?"
Putilai nodded: "Yes, after the Battle of Dawn, his prestige is the same-and the best heir to the throne, Your Majesty Midiel IV."
"As for Sarah, she married the daughter of the Walton family, and their descendants became the new King of Exeter."
"Kepen Nihra," Shrei said with a smile: "A huge bronze statue was built for him in Shanliu City, and it stands in the center of the city...in memory of this shining light of wisdom The prophet, commemorating his sacrifice and his contribution to Shanliu City and the entire Kangmas in the Western Land."
Not right.
Thyls thought secretly.
In the portraits of the Three Kings of the Stars, the portraits of the three kings should all be based on their respective representative achievements. For example, Tormund I was based on the end of the war, but Thales clearly remembered: The background of King Deer IV holding a shield and sword is a towering tree.
But according to that, the greatest achievement of Midil IV-shouldn't it be the Battle of Dawn?
Thyls frowned.
"You didn't mention the last part," at this moment, Nicolai said slowly: "The post-war part."
Putila sighed.
Thyls was puzzled: "What happened after the war?"
Putilai was silent for a while before speaking silently:
"The saddest thing is here," the deputy envoy said lightly: "Sara and Midil, these best friends who should have been living and dead, after the war..."
"Fight against each other."
"Even the relationship between the Star Kingdom and Exeter, which had improved slightly, has taken a turn for the worse."
Nicolae’s voice sounded:
"The Broken Dragon Fortress was built by Midil while Exeter was weak, and has since become our biggest confidant threat-a person who can withstand the extreme cold, stands on the border, and is easy to defend. Difficult to attack, countless garrisons, monitoring our every move, ready to be a huge fortress for marching northward as an outpost!"
Nicolai stared straight at Thales and said: "If it weren’t for Sarah, who had severely wounded the Nightwing King before the end of the Battle of Dawn, was too famous, I have no doubt that the stars would be directly at that time. Go north to attack Exeter!"
"Little prince, why do you think we care about your broken fortress so much?"
Thyls was dumbfounded.
Broken Dragon Fortress...
Guarding the meritorious fortress in the north of the stars, the iron curtain wall, and resisting the fortress where the dragon goes south...
So in the eyes of Exeters, is this status?
The bridgehead where the stars invade north?
And... he lowered his head.
Sarah and Midiel?
A pair of comrades-in-arms who have been entrusted with life and death for ten years of adventure...
Against?
"Why?" Thales gritted his teeth, raised his head and asked: "Sara and Midiel, why did they turn their heads?"
Putila sighed and shook his head: "I don't know."
"I don't know?" Nicolai said dissatisfiedly: "I know a saying..."
"That's just an unsubstantiated rumor..." Putila said disdainfully~IndoMTL.com~ at least a statement! "Nikole interrupted him unceremoniously.
The Marquis of Schlese watched the dispute between the two with interest.
Only the voice of the meteorite overwhelmed the deputy envoy of the stars:
"There is nothing to conceal," Nicolai ignored Putila's face. He sneered slightly: "The two most outstanding in the Battle of Dawn broke for a woman."
What?
Thyls opened his mouth in surprise.
Woman?
Putila let out a sigh of relief, his face unswervingly: "If you insist on saying that, you are despising the friendship between the hero and the oath-keeper, and tarnishing their former glory and common legend..."
"And you also insulted the honor of Queen Esola, and at the same time offended the Star Kingdom's Star Kingdom's Star Kingdom and the Sacred Tree Kingdom's Yeluo Family!"
Queen Esola? Thales heard a strange name.
And... Holy Tree Kingdom, Ye Luo Family?
"So what?" Nicolai said in a cold voice: "Everyone knows! When Sara insisted on fighting independently in the North, the oath-keeper of the stars-Midil ·Can Star..."
"Taking Sara's lover away!"
"I even marry her as my queen after that!"
Thyls froze.
Under Putila's unhappy eyes, the meteorite shook his head and said: "A fairy queen."
Elves...
Queen?
The one Sara loved...
The queen of Midil IV?
The heart of the second prince was pounding.
Another cold wind blew.
Thyls suddenly noticed that Edda behind him had disappeared at some point.
Note: Regarding the three heroes of Dawn in the West, I will update the Fanwai 5 in an article related to the work (seems like I can't see it in QQ reading, I can only see it on the PC website) to mention their stories.
