Chapter 259 The Era of Double Kings

"So, it's deadlocked right now."

In the room in the tower, the witches still haven't moved their positions. For them, years are but a blink of an eye.

Chris looked at the factions that were divided into several different colors on the chessboard, playing with her hair a little bored.

Originally, she thought that several witches on her side would work together to block or test Roland Hill, but she did not expect that with the development of the matter, there were some internal differences.

First of all, let's talk about Kernos. This witch is the youngest and the most naughty one in their faction. This time, her spoiler also disrupted the plans of several others.

"It's a little boring." Chris was like a fish in the water, blowing bubbles about the boring life.

"Does Si Ye want to interfere with them? If this stalemate continues, the empire will soon split."

"It's already split." Tides said with a slightly vicious tongue. The Phantom Witch seemed to be in a better mood recently, and she was drinking coffee safely at the moment.

Seeing that Si Ye was still paying attention to the situation on the chessboard, without answering herself, Chris had to lie down on the sofa beside her in frustration, and she wanted to go out to play.

"What about Ai Hekatri, I don't think you're worried, did you look away?" Tides turned her gaze to the twin witch beside the chessboard, who was leaning on the back of the chair, although she looked at chessboard, but thoughts seem to fly elsewhere.

"...Me, so be it." The twin witch didn't seem to be worried about these things, or the current situation was not enough for her to worry.

The room fell silent again, and Chris got up and went to the top of the tower to get some sunshine. At this time, the chessboard that had been stagnant for a long time also changed again.

The imperial capital, Titania.

After a few months of stagnation, the Griffin army in the west launched a large-scale attack again. This time, the Raven Duke also responded rarely. The two sides seemed to have reached some kind of reconciliation and tacit understanding.

The artillery fire continued, the gunshots were endless, and the huge marble white lion slammed into the city wall like a chariot, rushing the temporarily repaired part again.

After the opening was torn open, the coalition forces in the west poured into the city like a tide, and there were shouts and fighting sounds everywhere.

In the sky, the flying dragon of war and the griffin knights fought fiercely, and the scorching breath swept across the sky from time to time like a beam of light.

At the same time, the northern coalition also began to operate.

The pale skeletons struggled from the ground, and piled up layer by layer under the city wall like living creatures, until they formed a giant ladder of white bones.

No matter how the defenders on the city wall bombed, used explosives, or magic, the ladder made of bones continued to be repaired until the soldiers in the north surged up like a tide and fought against the garrison on the city wall.

Under the attack from both sides, Titenya gradually became precarious, and the garrison in the city had to retreat step by step in front of several times the enemy.

All kinds of critical arrows are constantly rising, reporting the loss and retreat of various places.

Just when the city was about to be broken, there was a shudder from the distant land, the blood-colored rose flag fluttered, and a group of cavalry rushed out from the rear of Titenia and entered the northern coalition army that was sieging the city. momentum cut off.

On the ground where the snow fell, Elon Trey, the heir of the Duke of Raven, stood on his horse and looked at the tens of thousands of cavalry that suddenly rushed out in front.

"I didn't expect you to show up. Darcy, what is it that makes you so loyal to the new emperor?"

"However, now I'm not interested in this question anymore." Without waiting for the other party to answer, he waved his hand, and the raven knights behind him rushed out and went straight to the battlefield in front.

These raven knights wore blue-black metal armor with black feather-like cloaks behind them, making loud noises in the accelerated charge, dancing with the wind and snow.

As the direct guards under the Raven Duke, these Raven Knights are well-equipped, and they are all composed of superhumans above Sequence Five.

They are equipped with kite-shaped anti-magic shields with raven emblems, black dream lances, crow's mouth hoes, and soul-killing spears. They are suitable for various combat scenarios and are the strongest city walls and iron walls in the history of the North.

After these raven knights rushed out, they directly collided with the rose knights at the forefront. Both parties were the most elite knights in the empire, and the battle fell into the most intense part from the beginning.

The first is the opposing charge of the two sides. The front row was directly pierced by each other's lances, and fell from the horse. After approaching, the raven knights took off the armored raven hoes on their waists, like hammer heads, and smashed them towards them. local knight.

Even though the armor on these rose knights was carefully crafted by the empire's craftsmen, they were still pierced by this specialized armor-piercing weapon.

The sharp and heavy tip of the hoe, like a crow's beak, pecked open the armor and nailed it into it. The Rose Knights, who did not bother to use this ugly weapon, could only try to stab with their swords and attack the enemy's sturdy armor. And this efficiency is naturally far inferior to these raven knights.

The nobles in the middle of the empire have spent too long a period of stability. Even if they have abundant resources to build up their strength, their actual combat experience is inferior to these knights in the north.

The situation began to fall to the Raven Knights in the north. The helmets of the rose knights were smashed, and their heads fell with blood, and then they were trampled by horseshoes on the battlefield.

In the chaos of the army, Darcy became the mainstay in the turbulent current. With a gun in one hand and a horse in the other, he fought in and out on the battlefield, maintaining the situation with difficulty.

Seeing this, Elon also picked up his lance and rushed towards the brave enemy general.

The trajectory of the gun blade and gun body in the air is straight and impartial, like a meteor passing by, directly rushing to the figure in the battlefield.

Between the lightning and flint, Darcy sideways dodged the incoming spear blade, let it pass under his arm, and then counterattacked, but the four nearby raven knights held up the spear.

These Raven Knights are Elon's personal guards, and they are also good players above Sequence 6. Together, even Darcy cannot defeat them in an instant.

The blood-colored spear blade slashed through the armor and shields, forcing the approaching Raven Knights away, and then the battlefield briefly vacated a small field.

"Darcy, in fact, I wanted to kill you three years ago, but unfortunately the Duke did not allow it at that time." Elon held a long spear and looked at the man in front of him.

Then, he waved his spear, and the tip of the spear pointed directly at the famous general of the empire, and then there was a cracking sound in the air.

"You were promoted by the previous emperor Aimanke, but you didn't want to report, you betrayed many times, and you also intended to kill the queen and prince. It is despised and disgusting. It is a shame that the empire has a general like you."

"Is that so, maybe in your opinion, because I ate a meal he gave me, then I will be loyal to it for the rest of my life and never betray it. It's just because you are the masters and nobles of the empire, who have mercy that power."

"I don't agree with such a thing. In fact, after the death of Emperor Aimanke, did you know what happened to me? Have you been abused and bullied?"

"You don't know and don't care."

"So, don't talk about those old and rotten loyalty. If you think I will shake my mind because of these words, it is a joke. I don't regret everything today, and I won't have any guilt."

In the face of Elon's accusation, Darcy raised his eyebrows in response. He was tired of hearing these words from the other party. The only blow he suffered in these years was that he was easily defeated by the girl in front of the nameless village in the eastern border.

That is also his rare mental imbalance, unable to control himself.

"Really, then it seems that I can only teach you a lesson with the gun blade in my hand. It's a pity, when I was in Emenas, I graduated a few years earlier than you, and I couldn't teach you a good lesson, hehe."

"If you're talking about the past of Emenas, then I will make up for the regrets on behalf of Wei Lin." Darcy's face changed, and he poured his power into the holy relic spear in his hand, and then complex patterns emerged from the spear. , and gradually spread to all gun bodies.

Immediately, the famous general jumped up, his figure was like lightning into the air, and he slashed down in the blink of an eye, directly taking Elon Trey, who was under the protection of the layers of knights.

When Emenas was a student, Wei Lin only won the second place in the Winter Festival Competition several times. Who was the first place at that time, it was the chief of Temple Academy at that time, Elon Trey.

This senior has defeated Xing Liu and Wei Lin several times, and has maintained the name of the strongest in the academy until graduation.

After many years, the two Emenas graduates met again on the battlefield. Elon was no longer the former academy champion, and Darcy was no longer the unknown teenager in the crowd who trained with his head down.

Gu fen

The crimson spear tip swam in the air like lightning, and the stabbing and spinning made people dizzy, constantly attacking Elon Trey.

What responded to him was the same violent and turbulent black gun blade.

At this time, what Elon held in his hand was the holy spear that killed the witch back then. It had the power to sever the soul and penetrate the space.

And this royal relic in Darcy's hands also has the same effect, just one for the body, one for the soul, one for the reaction and speed, and one for attacking through space from time to time.

Both of them are at the stage of Sequence 7 being almost perfect, and they are only one step away from Sequence 8. Their strengths are comparable, and their talents are not too far behind.

The fighting situation is rarely comparable, and the more the two sides fight, the more turbulent and dangerous, the needle is facing the Maimang, like a fragile balance, once one side finds a slight gap and flaw, it can cause the other side to die.

Such a dangerous battlefield made it difficult for the knights on both sides to intervene. They could only vacate this part of the battlefield, and let the two fight staggeredly.

The situation on the north side of Titenya was at a stalemate, and the rescued cavalry broke up the northern coalition forces that were besieging the city, making it difficult to win for a while.

At this moment, on the west side of Titania, priests in white robes held up holy white six-sided shields, blocking the angry dragon breath in the air, and then the soldiers below were also blessed with magic, like lions Flooding into the city like a vulture.

After encountering the resisting array fire, a man in lion armor rushed out. He held a dazzling holy sword and slashed all the way, cutting a gap in the stagnant front, allowing countless soldiers to pour into Tai Tai. Nia's streets.

It was only at this time that Titania began to fall into a real crisis.

The old order began to collapse, and all kinds of local gangsters who did not dare to cause trouble in the past began to appear. They rushed into the rich people who had long been jealous, and soon there were all kinds of cries and screams.

The coalition forces in the west, the legionnaires who were stationed in the city, the residents who wanted to escape the city, and those who took advantage of the chaos to do evil, the streets became chaotic, and there were noises everywhere.

The remaining civilians began to bow their heads in prayer, praying that this dark hour would pass as soon as possible.

In the center of the Rose Palace, Elio stood on the top of the tall tower, overlooking the city that was gradually falling and the war was burning.

"I'm sorry, Sister Anna."

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and jumped down from the tower of the Rose Palace.

fight gradually

Spreading through the city, flames burning, women and children crying, smoke and screaming everywhere, the sound of swords clashing in every corner, blood flowing and then condensing into dark red plaques that congeal on the ground .

I don't know when, a cold white mist blew up in the city. It was so icy that the enemies who entered the city froze and became ice sculptures standing still.

Goose feather-like snow fell from the sky, drowning the sight, and constantly drifting into this magnificent giant city.

Whether it is blood, corpses, scorched marks on the city walls, incomplete goblin ornaments, beautiful buildings, etc., everything is covered by this snow.

Long and transparent ice formations slowly formed under the eaves, and the bone-chilling water droplets slowly dripped down, splashing solidified ice-colored flowers on the ground.

As more and more people froze and died, the coalition forces in the west and north finally realized that something was wrong, and they began to send out the signal to retreat, and let the soldiers who entered the city withdraw.

It's a pity that there was no response to such a signal in the white snow fog. Those soldiers who entered the city seemed to have entered another world and never came out again.

Seeing this, the brows of the lords and officers were getting tighter and tighter. Now that there are so many soldiers entering the city, none of them came out. What happened there?

Some superhumans began to rush into the sky to search the city, but these Sequence 6 and even Sequence 7 superhumans were gone forever, disappearing into the white snow that permeated the fog.

Such a scene finally dispelled everyone's idea of ​​going in and spying, and had to stop under this magnificent city wall again, looking at Titenya from a distance through the snow and fog.

In the third century, at the end of 1710, Duke Griffin and Duke Raven led an army to attack the imperial capital Titenya. When the coalition forces invaded the city, Emperor Elio disappeared. After that, the whole city was shrouded in snow-white ice fog, becoming isolated from the world. world.

All the soldiers and supernatural beings who entered the city to spy were swallowed up by the white ice fog and disappeared.

In the months and even years that followed, various forces and organizations tried to find out what happened in Titenia, but unfortunately there was no result.

Afterwards, Titenya, a giant city with a population of millions, seemed to have been wiped off the map. No more living people came out, and it became a dead place forbidden by various forces. Later scholars also referred to this event as the 'Titania Tragedy'.

After learning of this, many nobles and people in the middle of the empire denounced Duke Griffin and Duke Raven, believing that they forced the emperor to death, so that the empire would become extinct and the bloodline would be cut off.

At this point, the Duke of Unicorn in the Eastern Territory, together with the Emerald Forest, also issued letters and announcements of condemnation, and began to summon the lords of the empire to march towards the middle of the empire.

The lords and people in the middle who got the news continued to launch rebellions in response to the actions of the Duke Unicorn and the army of the forest elves.

The two major coalition forces with unstable foundations had to retreat step by step in the battle, and were gradually driven to the original fief by the forest elves and the eastern army.

Because of the scarcity of food, the Northern Alliance after losing the central land had to make peace with the Unicorn Duke and the Elf Queen, and vowed that within 100 years, no member of the Trey family would leave the northern fief.

Elon Trey is disinherited and Faxiner Trey is expelled from the family.

However, the Salius family did not succumb to this. Under its strong appeal, the lords of the Western Region once again organized an army to fight against the combined army of the Unicorn Duke and the Forest Elves.

Although it will not be a complete victory, it has gradually gnawed down some land, gained a respite, and regained some of the situation.

The war was at a stalemate, and the imperial family of the empire was no longer there, and many problems remained unsolved. The two sides entered a short armistice period and began to search for possible surviving imperial bloodlines.

The following summer, the knights of the Salius family first discovered the twin princesses, Evelyn and Teslin, who had been missing for several years, the two reclusive twin sisters.

After gaining a valuable opportunity, Duke Griffin announced that he had established the two princesses as queens of the empire, admitted the mistakes of the past, and stood by the Blue Stream River and swore an oath that he would always be loyal to the imperial family of the empire and would never betray again.

In order to show their sincerity, the Western Front Allied Forces voluntarily withdrew from the central provinces they occupied and returned them to the imperial family. On the way to escort the two princesses back into the empire, they presented a large amount of wealth as compensation for the use of the imperial family.

The Unicorn Duke, who has no royal blood in his hands, is in a disadvantageous situation. If he still occupies the middle of the empire, he will violate his previous oath. In the end, he had to gradually withdraw from the central provinces with the army of the forest elves.

Just when everyone thought that the Griffin family finally won the civil war, an accident broke out when the two princesses were on their way back to the center of the empire.

An assassin broke into the convoy and robbed a princess in the chaos. No one knew who he was. Some people said it was the dark moon of the empire, but others said that his methods and fighting style were the same as the dark moon of the empire. different.

Two months later, the princess reappeared in the East, with Duke Unicorn and the Forest Elves championing her as the new queen of the Empire.

So, at the same time, the empire had two queens, and with them at the center, two new capitals were established in the middle of the empire.

The two cities, near the western and eastern borders respectively, were enthroned on the same day as the nominal new masters of the country.

Shortly after ascending the throne, the Duke of Griffin announced in a high-profile manner that his son Jalan and Queen Tesslyn were engaged. At the same time, the coat of arms of the Griffin family was also changed, with a white rose pattern surrounding the original Griffin.

After learning this news, the Duke of Unicorn was not far behind. Soon another queen, Evelyn, was also engaged to a descendant of the Landsworth family. The original unicorn coat of arms was also changed to surround red roses. excellent

Ya unicorn, to show and the royal one.

At this point, the empire has once again entered the era of twin emperors, where the eastern and western capitals are far apart, and many nobles are surrounded by the two queens, forming a new imperial structure and system.

This also symbolizes that the "War of Roses" that has lasted for several years in the empire has finally come to an end. Although everything is broken, lives have passed away, and people's hearts have changed, this devastated country has finally entered a rare peace.

However, the twins, who are not together and cannot sense each other's hearts, can still glue this broken empire together, and what will be the end of the empire in the end?

Our sage girl is still sleeping in.
