The Amber Sword: Act 208 Curtain I
First Era Yuan 376. At the end of Year of Sword, when everything is withered and the severe winter is approaching, we will remember what happened during this month after many days have passed. 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, walking in rows of Knight, the bright armor was stained, the spear was covered with gaps, and the flag was pulled It is full of holes, big and small.
Oderweig Duke is full of dust, his hands are like chicken feet, hunched back, trembling constantly, his bare fingers are covered with blue and red frostbite, only subconsciously can grab bridle, he looks dull. This scene seems to have not been awake 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 Knights of Kirrlutzian is charged, and never, never wake up.
Several heads of Colossal Dragon flew to the south in a hurry, and they blew a breeze of wind as they passed over the hills, causing the pine forest to crackle. People like corpses walking along came raises head, watching this scene with wooden eyes, but no One person complained. The eldest son of Kirrlutzian sits on the saddle of one's own. Without moving, it looks like a puppet. The dark eyes are constantly changing colors, as if the horrible light seen on that day is still being reproduced.
The figure across the sky is slowly falling. The hero of Colossal Dragons, this generation of Dragon King Russian Winrose lost his dead body, and heavily fell on the ground. Colossal Dragon wailed and screamed, the incomplete corpse fell like raindrops, and a huge black hole was suspended in the center of the sky. The horrible and horrible creature that emerged from the back of the black hole is its past masters who have left the world for countless time, it is the giant **** Milos, Dragon God Bahamut, and it is back. Come back and destroy the one's own people.
On the earth, the full front was a little bit retreat and completely collapsed. Many people fell to their knees desperately, crying, crying, begging, hoping that Marsha would save them, but they did not get a response. Some are just endless darkness and pain. Then there was the killing. Twilight's Will swept across the battlefield, watching all this indifferently, and then it silently retracted its gaze.
Thousands of worlds have been destroyed, but in its eyes, it is only a moment.
The empire is over
This mortal kingdom with a glorious past and a long history, which has been established for more than 1,500 years, is engraved on the splendid palace palace with brilliant words, murals and sculptures about the past. Under the heavy blow from the connection, it seemed like a proud Knight who was seriously injured. The helmet is broken, the blood is stained, but the head is high, and the enemies of one's own are closely watched with firm eyes. The TEE poets swallowed the final one breath with their emotional and generous tragedy.
He fell. Destined to completely rewrite the entire history of continent, but this year, people trapped in the severe winter and the quagmire, were unable to pass the news on immediately, Four Borders Plain and Anzeluta were blocked by the disaster of the Black Moon fall. Large uninhabited areas. elves spared no effort 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 newly born Black Forest near the crack in the Evergreen Corridor. The key two months of already were lost when the Deputy Army Commander of Akamura legion was in front of Inges Ta'an Hilllund. When humans and elves re-established trust, they still did not understand what they had lost. Important things.
Time.
Time to change everything.
A month later, a letter from Mantle Bay was transferred to the Black Sword Fortress, and there was only a short line of text on the letter:
‘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 Shield King Shield Count. The pride of Mantle Bay, noble's uncle, The Silver Queen's uncle, Wally Princess's husband, spirited, fame is difficult to describe the Empire Navy Admiral, in the letter of this letter reveals a kind of gray despair, As if the impeccable words of someone who is about to die, he stamped emblem with the one's own stamp at the end of the letter, as if stained with blood, the red mark seemed to foretell an unknown **** future.
...
Freya is riding on a hillside near the hills near Winomare, watching the undead army retreating in the lakeshore area below. The first snow of Aouine's has not yet fallen, and there is still autumn in the mountains. The bare trees were teeming with teeth, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves. The tall grey Callas horse stood in a heather bush, carrying its owner on his back, shaking his tail and driving away. Insects.
Behind the horse, the soldiers looked at their Commander with admiration. Some young Knight even had the admiration in their eyes. Just two months ago, with the counterattack of Banshee Queen Alvit, Aouinian launched Ladios from both left and right wings at the same time. Offense, thus winning the first big victory since the second War of Black Rose.
In that battle, Freya led Valkyries to decisively cut into the junction between the two legion of undead. She was the first soldier in the battle and shouted the name of Aouine above the battlefield, like a banner. Everyone went forward, and with the rising morale of White Lion Guards and Knight, they defeated the Madara's Black Knight team from the front, thus completely establishing the victory.
In this battle, Ladios's two deputies were in battle. It was also seriously injured, Banshee Queen Alvit betrayed, and another Commander skeleton Thane Roffman also died in the hands of Valkyrie. After this battle, undead Normar's two-part army was unable to fight again, and was almost blocked by the coalition forces of Radnor and Lantolian in the lakeshore area, and then unable to threaten Radnor and Lantolian.
The name of Valkyrie on the battlefield has spread. Since this battle, the personal guard knightss of White Lion Guards almost spontaneously painted three pairs of light wings emblem on the one's own shield, as if to commemorate that day. The shining flags they saw on the battlefield
The shining wings of light are always in front of everyone and never stop.
Under the hills, Undeads is heading to the south in the direction of Bruglas. It is like a dark ocean with various flags mixed in it. There is no order and it looks a bit chaotic.
But there is not much joy on Freya's face.
Her gaze is a little dark.
For half a month, after receiving the letter from Brando's, she knew that the second War of Black Rose already came to an end. This is probably not good news for Aouine, although their war in Winormar A decisive victory was achieved, but in terms of Bruglas, Callas and Viero, Highland Knight was losing ground.
Different from the blind optimism of many people, in this short year, especially the experience of serving as personal guard knights around Princess Gryphine made Freya rapidly transform, from the naive little girl from the Bucce countryside, to become One qualified Commander.
Although it may be a step away from the politician, it is at least enough to let her see something more profound than ordinary people see, those factors that determine the future of Aouine.
She stood silently on the hills, feeling the growth of one's own, and that feeling seemed to finally feel the eyes of Brando's. Everything he had ever seen, together with him, breathed the fate of the future together.
But everything that was simple and clear in the past is now complicated.
Aouine is a small kingdom, but it has a powerful enemy. It doesn't need a trivial victory or revenge. It needs time and change. Peace is too precious for this country. .
Precious is almost unbearable.
But what Valkyrie really worried about was Brando. The letter mentioned that the reason why Her Majesty Madara's reached an agreement with Aouine. Madara's invasion of Aouine was caused by the long-standing misunderstanding and mutual distrust between the two sides. Hatred has masked the soul The eyes of both sides and the deceased were inspired by some ill-conceived northern Thane's, which led to such a tragedy.
Now Madara's Emperor already is determined to calm down these northern delinquents, so he needs to be transferred back to the army to suppress the country, and the Brumand's Black Rose behemoth and Aouine, a small kingdom that is so lopsided, should let go of the dispute. There is no natural contradiction between big and small countries.
Madara has many enemies, but it never includes Aouine. In addition, as a vengeful and natural opponent of Thanes in the North, Aouine should also support His Madara's Emperor and reach an alliance with it.
This is a suggestion for Princess Gryphine and one's own student, future King of Aouine, Halutz
It's such a letter.
The cloud of war over this old kingdom has disappeared.
But Freya knows that it will soon make a big splash on another 'battlefield' of the kingdom. From Viero to Lantolian, from Silman to Radnor, royalist already takes action.
Not only nobles. In fact, these days, already has heard a lot of complaints. Knights complained that their Lord Thane deprived them of their glory. They should have done everything to completely destroy Manowell's Undead Army.
