The Amber Sword: Act 133 Romaine’s The second plan (on)
Act 133: The second plan of Romaine's (Part 1)
Living in the vast plateau in the north of Aouine, the Gulch clan has spread a well-known legend --. The soldiers who placed orders on the battlefield are the people who are favored by Grim Reaper.
Fan? Norsid has also heard this legend. He was an Knight recruited from the Balta area in the north of the kingdom. He was from a local gentry family. Before joining the army, he had a small hand in domesticating animals. After joining the army, he naturally became Wyvern Knight, belonging to thirty. The Wyvern Cavalry squadron -- of the Quadruple Team originally belonged to the part of the Kingdom Southern Legion, but the latter was already broken down by the Madara Undead Army in this war. Even Commander Binag Count himself was killed. -- Where is Norsid? army did not wait for the signs of the so-called truce. Instead, the offensive of Madara undead on the opposite side was better than the day, but the noble Thanes behind it was no longer providing them with the pretext that the negotiations had come to an end and the war had ended. Any support.
The messenger who sent out to contact White Mane Legion and Anlieke has no news. The situation is getting worse day by day, just like the Commander Corian Baron, the highest remaining 34 team in the Radnor southern border, wrote in the diary:
"The situation in the South is getting worse every day. We do n’t know where the brothers army are scattered. Madara's undead is launching an attack from all directions. We ca n’t contact anyone. The news seems to be blocked, and even the retreat becomes Impossible. nobles has its own way. Today, this territory already is out of the control of the kingdom, Martha above. I hope I can see the end of this nightmare -- in my lifetime "
But all this is not important for Norsid. He and his Wyvern were shot down while visiting a human village destroyed by undead on the southern border and became one of the legends of the Gurch clan. Those who were followed by the cold eyes of Grim Reaper. With blood on his face raises head, he despaired to see rows of skulls warrior coming in all directions from the ruins of this village. He was stunned by the body of Wyvern. A light crossbow in his hand was the only protective weapon. He raised his arm and shot an arrow at one of the bone shelves.
The crossbow blessed by holy potion burst into a dazzling light, and a skeleton turned into fly ash in this white light.
But after successive white lights, more undeads drowned the field of vision of Norsid. -- An endless frustration enveloped youngster. That was a few months ago. Norsid couldn't help subconsciously thinking of --. When they heard that Madara troops divided into three ways to invade the kingdom, whether it was soldier or noble, almost everyone held a relaxed mentality and waited to see if these came from behind, How the Dark Thanes of the barbaric country fell apart because of internal conflict and command, just like every joint invasion in history.
But the final result was beyond their expectations of everyone. The Madara army's march was decisive, calm and effective. Compared to the Aouine kingdom, it was more like a late old man, struggling everywhere and showing fatigue. The kingdom's former glory is long gone, and the country called ‘Flame Edge, the Example of Ancient Glory’ in the mouth of the seventeenth generation Great Deacon of Holy Cathedral of Fire three years ago is only existence in past history.
Shoot the last arrow, this youngster calmly dropped the crossbow, holding one hand tightly on the chest with the wife ’s name on his chest, he raises head, a tall skull already blocked the sunlight above his head --
The fiery Soul Fire beating in his eyes.
"Farewell, father, mother, and dear Vanessa, I just hope you can remember that one's own son, husband and many others have fought in this place to protect Aouine ..."
"But there is no hope in this country already ..."
After October, the autumn Aura gradually becomes richer, and the plains along the Trentheim coast are stained with a layer of pale yellow. Just riding on the road between the countryside, the Brando already group can feel the Aura of the obvious war.
After leather armor was torn by Aloz, Brando simply found a tailor and made a set of black long trench breeches while passing a town along the way, setting up the Thane's shelf. At this moment he sat up straight on the horse and looked around, carrying a pair of eye-catching white Glove, and a long sword with a silver-plated handle hanging around his waist. It was some young noble leader.
But it's not because he wants to get past noble's addiction, it's purely because it makes it easier to avoid trouble. Leaving the undulating hills of Chablis, travels have been mediocre for a month. Although law and order collapse nowadays, most of the thieves around the town are composed of farmers who cannot live. On the other hand, Brando has a dozen or twenty people, and the guards are all well-equipped, such as the noble child -- who travels because of poverty, and will not easily try to provoke them.
But when Brando saw the empty farms along the way, I couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, on the day of Chablis, the Dragon Race girl Aloz had warned him before leaving, telling him that an Madara's undead army was now hovering in the south of Trentheim. This news coincides with the history known to Brando. Historically, the "Black Jazz" Insidolon still relied on Radnor even after half a year of the armistice agreement. This is because the food rumors know that -- talks about this old kingdom at this moment. .
It's almost the end of Month of the Autumn Evening (October). In the history of the other side known to Brando, the upper layer of this old kingdom is at this moment already bewildering and undercurrent. As far as he knows, the support behind Oberu's eldest son, Hamel, came from the power of Queen Anna. Anna is the sister of Duke Sifah. Her entry actually represents the restoration of the Sifah dynasty. -- royalist member supporting the Corcova family was originally right. This has different perspectives, coupled with her ambiguous relationship with the power minister Kluge Marquis, and finally even teamed up to imprison the king, thus laying the root cause.
In early November in history, Eldest Prince Hamel suddenly announced the crown of Buga. This event officially opened the prelude to the internal division of royalist. Of course, character's strong Princess-Regent Gryphine would not endure in silence, and she immediately went to the entire one's own territory. All the kingdom's noble and Knight declared that Hamel's throne was illegal. Of course, supporting her was the power of the royalist core member who had long been dissatisfied with the queen and the elf party she represented.
At the end of November, Archduke of Anlieke announced its support for Eldest Prince Hamel. At the same time, the localities have become independent or turned to one side, and the Aouine's civil war began immediately. From this moment, until two years later, this civil war has thoroughly shake the foundation of this kingdom. Although it experienced a short period of ZTE, the kingdom already lost the blood of the newborn and it was naturally difficult to be reborn in the fire.
It can be said that the death of Aouine's has accelerated the pace of already since this moment.
At this point, no one cares what the southern 'black jazz' Insidolon is doing. However, no one's relationship does not mean that the actual impact is not existence. The whole village and village migration in this area leaves a deserted area. When they pass through the empty and silent villages, they can feel an obvious Shaw.
But as the pace moves south, this kind of Xiaose is gradually changing --
Because we are close to the core of Trentheim -- Fir City, the road finally starts to gain popularity. Rule Thane of Trentheim is the third son of Count of Radnor, Baron Grudin. Brando is no stranger to this name, but it is not familiar. At this time, the noble was mostly indifferent and thought it was -- but Thane was another look. In addition to sharing the noble Facebook, it had to be harsh, cruel, and violently exploited thrall .
Brando and his team noticed this when they entered Fir City, or they expected that they had not expected it before, and this time they have reduced a lot:
The first thing that catches their eyes is the residents who live outside Fir City. Only those who are really poor and inferior status will live outside the unprotected city. Generally speaking, they are either farmers working outside the city or those who fled. refugee. On both sides of the street were shabby and messy thatched huts. Men and women were undressed, their skin was yellow, their eyes were bleak, and their hopes for the future could not be seen.
The dust is on the avenue, and the dry air is full of the smell of livestock manure. Compared with this, noble bureaucrats who act dogmatically, sluggishly and arrogantly Bruglas seem cute, at least in those places, despite the low status of citizens -- but at least survive.
However, just like the harsh nature of people born from barren land, the more barren the land, the more they demand. Brando understands that it is not Golan-Elsen's noble that makes this difference more humane, but because of the same exploitation, the land of Trentheim is more barren, and the people are naturally more unbearable.
Amandina, once a damsel, looked at all this and couldn't help covering her mouth gently, some were unbelievable.
"Lord Thane, the territory you want to inherit ... is this kind of place?" she asked, a little disappointed.
She originally thought that after leaving the Dominion of mountain people, Trentheim on the eastern coast should be a wealthy scene. By the sea, it means that trade is developed, and trade that is developed means wealth. Even if it is not as good as Ampere Searl, it should be at least the same as the Bugras area?
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be such a bleak sight.
Brando is also a stunner, because Mercenary who did not tell Amandina Lopes was actually his summoned creature, which caused this young girl to be sorrowful and blame herself. He was retaliated. At least a month after Chablis, Amandina talked to him with a business-like attitude. When he saw him before, his good complexion disappeared, and most of them were with a blind eye.
Although damsel has always been self-proclaimed by his Adviser, Brando thought that this was not the attitude that his family members should have when facing their Thane, but of course he would not bring it up, using nobility status to suppress a weak woman , Brando as a modern half has not been so shameless.
