The Amber Sword: Act 228 League II

"... and the war in the east. Although Faanzan and Aerlanta's wild elves have always been good, but with a oracles alone, the barrier on the east side of the kingdom is removed, so that the army goes to the big glacier. Is it too much? Sloppy? "

"The situation in the Ten-City region has also begun to deteriorate. Barbarian Tribe invaded the Golden Anchor Port from the north. Both the ladder Noel and the two Dukes of the Hajd family have expressed concerns about the military situation in the North. Trade and business will want to expand. The strength of Mercenary legion, and proposals in this area have been shelved to this day ... "

The humming sound of for a moment in the lobby again rose. Although the court officials did not stand up and argue this time, the whispering discussion in private fell into Petian's eyes, making the supreme one frowned of the empire.

He looked at Jiagusti Bishop, who stood up first, and replied:

"It is the idea of ​​Azerbantu to make Yinma Knights go south to support Kirrlutzian."

This sentence seems to have any curse, which makes the entire hall quiet in an instant. This sudden silence is even more weird than before, as if a lingering north wind whistled past the palace. , Frozen everyone's breath.

As we all know, Petrian III was the pope. In Faanzan, the pope was in charge of both the divine and royal powers of the empire, and it can be said to be the supreme figure. But before he was crowned and crowned, his teacher Azerbantu XI was even more prestigious. Under the majestic papal crown of already today, but before the previous pope, he was just a child forget it/that's all who had just taken the scepter.

Azerbantu Eleven is a pope who has experienced Holy War. Most of his contemporaries, emperors, and even the famous emperor of Kirrlutzian all belong to the dust of already as a way out of blood and fire. King. There is enough reason under the pope's crown to scare anyone.

Even if you need to add a prefix before the title.

Petian III seemed to have anticipated the response of his courtiers, so he added: "Moreover, Silver Horse Knights is not to support or rescue the Kirrlutzian's eldest son, but to support Kirrlutzian."

"Support Kirrlutzian?" The courtiers looked at each other, thinking that this might be a sounding excuse to get involved in the internal affairs of Kirrlutzian?

Petian III rose from the throne of one's own. His tall and burly figure made some of the everyone presents hold their breath. He looked at the everyone present and said, "The war of Kirrlutz is far more complicated than you think. My subjects, this war is related to our everyone. The movement of Yinma Knights is just the beginning, I must explain this to you, because next, I need you everyone to be united sincerely. Come with me to meet everything that will happen next. "

As he said, his face sank at the same time: "For the empire and Holy Church, the next time will be the most difficult. I hope you can let go of your hatred and pick up a thousand years ago. That sacred vow, if anyone is unwilling to do so, or even stalk it, then wait for you. It's not just my anger. "

Petian III's voice circled over the hall. The sense of sensation in it made everyone shudder, and the ministers for a moment couldn't help but look at each other.

"Your Majesty ..." Jia Gusti Bishop froze, and asked, "Are all these things you said true?"

Petian III nodded.

"This is a shrine."

In an instant, there was a big noise in the Winter Solstice Palace.

...

In the dark mountains to the west of Mehotophen. At this moment, a little bonfire is rising, looking into the distance, and with the glimmer of the Moon of the Golden Sea, you can see that there are winding teams above the plain, and they are entering the forest.

Since the defeat of East Metz. The remnants of Kirrlutzian fled from the port of Fattan and north of Ludwig in a hurry, partly entering south into Evergreen Aisle, and partly passing through the Mehotophen Basin and westward into the mountains.

After the Crystalline army swept the entire Metz, there was finally no further pursuit, so that the alliance of the black legion and Metz regional nobles who had escaped has a chance to breathe, but the good times are not long. According to the return of scout down from frontline, it seems to be short After his stay, the Crystalline army showed signs of continuing to move east.

click, click

Knight's heavy footsteps can't make Veronica's recover from the military map spread on both legs. The burning light of the bonfire reflected the front face of this Army Commander of Kirrlutzian. The few were patrolling back and forth, but one of the cluttered footsteps was particularly clear and kept coming to her to stop.

"Teacher, scout has returned intelligence. Those terrible monsters already passed the Port of Fattan. It is not clear whether they went south, but at least part of them came to Mehotophen."

A slightly tired voice sounded.

Veronica came to raises head. Fina is reflected in her eyes. Her student has caused her headaches in the past. Although the other party is very talented, both in Magic and Swordsmanship have great insight. , But that bad temper is really uncomfortable, she knew privately that this student is a famous female demon in Didu.

But at this moment, the little Qianjin face of this Floral Leaf Shire can rarely find the waywardness and arrogance in the past. Instead, she is mature and resolute. Fina wears a Knight armor that she rarely sees in her daily life, hanging on her waist. Wearing a sabre, her fair face was covered with a layer of gray, and there were one or two bruises on her forehead.

But the biggest change is the eyes of the other person. At the moment, those pale blue eyes like the sea are all calm and calm.

Sometimes Veronica can't help thinking, if this nightmare doesn't happen now, how gratified she will be in the face of one's own student.

Unfortunately, assumptions can only be hypotheses.

East Metz ’s battle has long been the biggest nightmare of anyone who has experienced it, even for her who experienced the Holy War 60 years ago. She sometimes uses the experience in Holy War to compare everything she has encountered these days, but every time, she can't help but think of the scene where the army of Kirrlutz collapsed under the impact of the sea of ​​Crystalline.

In that battle, Kirrlutzian watched the powerful and suffocating Dragon Race fall in front of himself, and then there was a terrible defeat, until finally losing all relevant memories.

But Kirrlutz has lost, but it has not yet died. The dead already is asleep, but the living still struggles for survival and hope.

For Fina, Veronica only nodded silently, she frowned, and used charcoal to draw a line on the military map to indicate the latest trend of Crystalline.

It can be seen that at least in the Vanquer region and the entire Metz region, the Crystalline army already is unstoppable. Although they have not yet moved south, Evergreen Aisle has just experienced the raging of Gorgon Ravine and Goldmane Torquine south. The only power of the empire is still Four Borders Plain's legion.

She did n’t think about going south to merge with Akino legion, but the road is too far away. The key is that East Maze ’s noble army already has no morale. Otherwise, this time the enemy of the Empire will not give them a chance to surrender. I'm afraid these people have long since collapsed.

She can go south with the remnants of Black legion and Blue legion, but the power of the Empire already is so low, these noble legion, already can no longer be abandoned.

As for the Mantle Bay area and Anzeluta, there is still no contact. Although Veronica did not know that the disaster of the next month already tore the southern part of the lofty inland sea and permanently changed the terrain there, but I am afraid that those places where she wants to come Inevitable.

Crystalline troops can go west from the Vanquer area, and naturally they can go south. Although there are imperial navies in the Mantle Bay area, it is difficult to resist those terrible monsters.

In other words, the remaining power in her hands and Four Borders Plain's Akashi legion may be the only power left in this empire.

When did this country left by Flame King Gaetel, one of the most powerful empires in the human world, have fallen to this point?

The Lenarret sitting next to Veronica was also a little embarrassed, but the eldest son soon calmed down, the frustration of his body was swept away, and he looked back and asked:

"What do we do now, Lady Veronica?"

Fina is also staring at one's own teacher.

Veronica is slightly frowned, and the Crystalline army already crosses the port of Fattan. Today, it is not possible to return and pass Evergreen Aisle south to already. There are only two roads before them.

One is to enter Faanzan north and ask for help from Holy Church forces, but the Enir people are the vengeance of Kirrlutzian. The hatred between the two is even deeper than the contradiction between Kirrlutzian and Wind Elf. Not to mention going north through the steepest section of the Alkash mountain range, where it is close to the big glacier area, and it is difficult for the army to cross.

In contrast, both Fina and Lenarret are willing to choose the second road, that is, to the southern foot of the Alkash mountain range, where the low and mountainous hilly areas are steeper than the ridges and mountains of the edge of the big glacier. It's much better, and after passing through the Golden Forest, it can also enter Four Borders Plain, maybe it will have the opportunity to merge with Akino's legion.

But this road is facing the possible pursuit of the Crystalline army. When I think of the defeat of East Metz and the terrible enemy to face, even the most brave and intelligent Kirrlutz Knight, we must also in silence.

Several people were hesitating. Suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd. Veronica just thought of what would happen from the Aouine's small Count in such a situation. At this time, raises head came, but saw a group of people already before the crowd came to the campfire .

"Buga people?"

The Fina stood aside for a moment.
