Chapter 356 Under the Tide

East of the Empire, Landsworth House.

The famous family that has been passed down for thousands of years in the empire, the family of poets, the guardian of the east, the Duke of Unicorn, all these names describe the nobility of this family. Walking through the garden full of roses, you can see this mansion. The white statues erected in the middle are many of them made by the ancestors of Landsworth's family. Among them are carved white horses, flying dragons, women, saints, angels, etc. The time and time of creation at that time are also engraved below. author.

Compared with several other dukes, the Landsworth family is indeed the most gentle and cultural duke family, and there will always be a few painters and poets in each generation of members.

Now, in the back garden of this quiet mansion, a blond woman is sitting quietly under the flower canopy.

Accompanied by several maids, a lady walked quickly through the corridors and courtyard paths to this garden full of white roses.

When she saw the back of the blond sitting, she slowed down, as if with a long look and disbelief, she approached slowly.

"Is that you, Frothea?" Her daughter is the pride and regret of her life.

"Yes, Mother Mother."

The blond woman stood up and turned her head, revealing her still young and beautiful face, her golden hair gleaming in the sunlight and reflecting her fair face.

"Oh - it's really you." She took a few steps forward and hugged the familiar figure tightly in her arms.

"You kid...really...your father lied to me and said that you are no longer here, so I don't want to worry about you anymore. He is really cruel, and he didn't even hide it from me..." The mother's voice was full of Choked, his forehead touched each other, slowly rubbing.

"I was too self-willed. I didn't come back, which made my mother worry. There is nothing my father could do." Excited emotions.

The two continued to hug for a while before slowly separating.

"It's good to come back. Mom will never let you marry again." Seeing the daughter who suffered a shock, the lady said distressedly.

"That's probably going to disturb my mother for a long time." Frocia replied with a smile.

Afterwards, the two held hands and walked in the garden, talking about the past few years.

"After you disappeared, a lot of things happened in the empire, but your father always restrained the nobles in the east, not to get involved in the affairs of the imperial family of the empire, even the important west expedition only supported food and Materials, no personnel or teams were dispatched."

"Later, alas, a lot of cruel things happened inside the royal family. If I had known about this, I would have stopped your father from agreeing to the emperor's marriage." Afterwards, the lady rambled a lot, venting about this year. The backlog of boredom and sadness.

Frozia answered one by one, unraveling her mother's mind, until the two of them walked around the garden several times before slowly stopping.

"This garden is still the white rose you planted when you were an adult. Because the marriage was settled at that time, everyone thought you would become the future White Queen of the Empire."

"Something happened later, but because I miss you, I also let them maintain it."

"Mother..." Frocia stood silently.

For the next few days, Frocia continued to accompany her mother until the emergency report from the front reached her home.

"What, you said the Archduke is now trapped in New Rose Castle?"

"Yes, ma'am, the duke was originally protecting Her Majesty from going to the central provinces to announce the future restructuring, but he didn't want the eastern nobles in the rear to raise troops, tore up the agreement, and planned to take the queen and hold him hostage."

"and after?"

"The Duke led the team to fight and retreat. Fortunately, the troops stationed in New Rose Castle are loyal to Her Majesty the Queen, and they have not rebelled. This is why they persisted according to the castle."

"Now Lord Hulier has led the family's 80,000 army to rush there, and Lord Voy is also organizing reinforcements." Hulier is Frocia's brother and the eldest son in the family, while Voy is Fu Rosia's third brother, both of whom are the rising stars of the Landsworth family.

"Phew, that's fine." The lady was relieved when she heard the news that her two sons had set off.

"Let me go too, Mother Mother." Frocia said.

"No, you are a girl, don't get involved in this dangerous thing, and finally come back this time." She shook her head and refused directly.

"Don't look at me with the eyes of the past, mother." Frozia shook her head.

"Although she has lived in seclusion for a few years, but because of this, she has improved a lot in the practice of the transcendent sequence." Her talent is not bad, plus there is no past interruption in the forest, she can completely calm down. I went to practice, so I quickly regained the strength of Sequence 7 and began to explore Sequence 8 step by step.

"It still won't work. I've already lost you once, and I don't want you to leave again. Besides, you're a girl, and you've never been on the battlefield. Going there will only cause trouble."

"No, in fact, I still know about the family's knights..."

Frocia's remarks did not impress the lady, she seemed determined not to let the daughter leave.

But things took a turn for the worse a few days later.

"Lord Hulier's army is trapped by the enemy." The soldier came from the front line.

The reason is not complicated. Those nobles who united to rebel, naturally expected the reinforcements of the Landsworth family, and set up ambush and block on the road. Under such circumstances, the army led by Hulier would naturally advance.

The speed of advance is slow, and there are always various harassment and attacks on the road, and once you want to pursue the opponent, you have to spend a lot of time and manpower, so it is too late to support New Rose Castle.

"What happened to the Legion that Voy called."

"There are currently about 160,000 family soldiers summoned by Lord Voy. They are going to divide into three routes and head west, so that they will not be easily blocked, and the supply pressure will be much less," the officer explained.

After hearing about it, Frocia said, "Let me go along with it."

"Don't rush to refuse this time, now is not the time to be concerned about personal safety."

After speaking, Frocia closed her eyes and opened them again, her body also overflowed with light golden magic power, her whole body seemed to become hazy, her long golden hair slowly fluttered in the air, accompanied by light golden light. The suspension of particles emits ripples of magic power.

The family members in the hall were amazed by the powerful magic power visible to the naked eye of the seventh young lady, and they no longer stopped him at this time.

"Okay, it's up to you this time." The mother nodded helplessly.

"Bring the reindeer guards at home, they were originally my personal guards, but now I'll give you to lead them. They are quite strong and will protect and follow you well."

Frocia's grandfather, the family her mother grew up in, was a great noble with antlers as heraldic arms. In order to keep her daughter from being helpless in the Landsworth family, she married this 2,000-strong bodyguard. The team still guards the mansion today.

"Yes, mother." Frocia was relieved to hear that her request was finally granted.

In the afternoon, Frozia was wearing armor and preparing to accompany the army in the room. There was a slight noise from the door, and then two petite figures slipped in quietly.

Hearing the familiar footsteps, Frocia knew who it was.

"Sister Frocia~" Sure enough, the two sisters at home gathered around the vanity mirror, looking at Frocia who had put on a white backing.

Before putting on the armor, a suitable underlay is necessary, and Frocia had already put on the silver-white armor on her upper body at this time, and was changing into her skirt armor and leg armor.

"So beautiful~" The two sisters were envious of the shiny silver armor and the white pattern branded on it.

"I've never seen it before." The two asked curiously.

"Because it was prepared a long time ago, it would be very early." Frozia recalled the scene in her memory. It was a birthday present from her father when she was in the second grade of Emenas.

"Originally, I was going to give you the elixir to keep you young and beautiful, but your bloodline is special, I guess you don't need this kind of thing, so I changed it for you again."

"I know that you are a girl, so this armor is specially designed by someone, which is both beautiful and practical." Father touched her head lovingly, and then revealed the white rose armor behind him.

"You are a child of the Landsworth family. You are already beautiful. You are more likely to be envied by others when you go to the royal family. Occasionally showing a strong part can dispel the idea of ​​others offending you. This armor can be taken out when you are hunting on horseback. Use, it is another court dress."

The ethos in the empire is to be lofty and strong, and although the Landsworth family has a good reputation, it sometimes gives the impression of being weak, and it is easy to attract temptation and jealousy. Her father has considered a lot for her future life.

‘I don’t want to, but I used it here today. ’

Frozia changed all the armor, and finally put the helmet on slowly. The golden hair was exposed from the lower edge of the helmet, like a bright satin waterfall against the armor.

So, let's go, maybe it's time to try what you've learned over the years, and see if you can stand the test.

In front of the square, the Silmarillion Pearl of the Landsworth family had a snow-white unicorn on it. As the golden-embroidered flag on a white background held high, a group of reindeer cavalry followed, carrying bows and arrows, saddles with them. With long swords and shields hanging from them, it is a ranger cavalry leaping through the forest.

The sound of horses' hooves shook, and the team quickly disappeared at the end of the field of vision, submerging into the distant mountain road.

The civil war in the Eastern Territory has also begun. The ideas and interests that deviate from each other, the old forces that are about to die, and the new forces that yearn for the future, everything is going through the last struggle and madness.

Meanwhile, the other side of the empire.

In the antler collar of the western border, on the mountain road in the deep green forest, groups of tired and wounded soldiers marched north. Some of them carried guns, some supported their teammates, and some dragged supplies. workhorse.

These soldiers are the remnants of the Western Alliance Army. After a difficult battle, they temporarily broke away from the pursuit and continued to retreat all the way north.

Isaiah also followed these soldiers on horseback. He was the highest commander of the team, and it was because of his direct lineage that the team's morale did not collapse, collapse and surrender.

However, this situation will not last long.

Even though he is a rare military genius in the new generation of the empire, there are some problems that can be solved not only by fighting. Most of the soldiers' hometown is in the west. If Duke Griffin dies, the nobles who recruited them to promise them No longer, these people almost have no support point to fight.

If it is an era of chaos and many countries, Isaiah may still be able to rely on the team in his hand to occupy one side, and even survive, but now is not such an era. It will soon take the western border into its arms, and then advance northward step by step until it reaches the coldest region of the empire.

It is not the past, the empire has existed for nearly a thousand years, and under such a time, the people in the country gradually recognized such an identity, and no longer excluded,

At the beginning of the third era, there were hundreds of countries, and anyone who wanted to unify would have to face all kinds of obstacles.

After turning these thoughts in her mind, Isaiah also laughed at herself that she was born in the wrong era. If it was the era of the red and white princes, it might not have been possible to achieve great things.

As the team slowly climbed to the top of the hill, the vast scenery behind the hill came into view.

After crossing these mountains, there is an endless field of flying flocculents. There are water nets on the ground, and many reeds and aquatic plants are scattered here. This is the junction of the west and the north, and it is not too cold. A meadow, a sparse coniferous forest, and then the black peaks where Mole County is, where there are snow-capped mountains and the ground is often frosted.

The wind blew through the white reeds and the sea of ​​grass at the foot of the mountain, a wave of ripples. After experiencing the heat of the midsummer, these soldiers felt a rare refreshing feeling, and even their low moods improved a lot.

Some soldiers put down the things on their shoulders and stood on the hillside and let out a loud roar. The sound spread far and wide in the field, and some gray geese jumped up from the water plants and flew to the lavender sky in the distance.

"Looks like I can add some extra food tonight." Isaiah also parked the horse on the hillside, feeling the world suddenly opened up.

It was night, and the team of 20,000 people camped in the field where the reeds and aquatic plants were located, made a fire to cook, and settled down for the time being.

The orange-yellow bonfire adorned the place. Soldiers sat around the fire, eating rare hot food and drinking boiled soup. A faint satisfaction came to mind.

Although the road ahead is still elusive, at this moment, I finally got some peace and rest.

In the large tent, Isaiah was also sitting in front of the simple-built bed, eating the roasted gray goose meat prepared by the soldiers, and slowly flipping through the book in her hand.

This book is about the terrain and terroir of the northern region. It can be regarded as a temporary supplementary lesson. He has already vaguely remembered many knowledge of the northern region.

"Lord Isaiah." An adjutant lifted the curtain and approached the tent.

"This is freshly cooked hot soup that you can enjoy after your meal."

The color of the soup is white, and it seems to be cooked with milk mixed with vegetables and meat, with a faint fragrance.

"Thank you, you should rest early today, so you don't have to keep too many people vigil."

"I know this will be more dangerous, but it is more important to restore energy now, and with our current situation, if the enemy really wants to catch up, it will be futile to counterattack." Many weapons and materials were lost during the retreat. The current team, The fighting power of the past is long gone.

"Yes, my lord."

With the fall of the Griffon Land and the collapse of the allied armies of the nobles in the west, the allied forces in the south began to gradually take over towns and cities in the west. A lot of work was required, and they had to free up time to clean up the remnants and bandits in the territory. In such a situation Next, the number of teams chasing Isaiah's army became less and less, and in the end, they simply let the other party leave the land of the Western Territory.

When the end of the year was approaching winter, the team led by Isaiah finally arrived in the middle of the North, and with the consent of Duke Raven, settled down for the time being.

The 20,000 remnants of the soldiers could not lift a single drop of waves in the vast north, and melted into the white cold soil and wasteland like grains of sand. What Duke Raven really cares about is the officers and commanders in this team.

During the turmoil in the West and the battle in the South, the North was also cleaning up internal problems. The silence of the Lady Jackdaw caused the Black Feather witches in the North to be severely suppressed by the nobles, and many witches who followed Ms. Jackdaw were expelled. Leaving the North, or being held under house arrest, the nobles supported witches from other minor factions and began to integrate internal problems.

Different from other realms, the nobles in the northern realm and the common people do not have much conflict, and in many cases they even share weal and woe. This is due to the difficult living conditions in the northern realm. The nobles have indeed fulfilled their important responsibility of protecting their people. Therefore, when the theories of the southern border and Crancia spread to the northern border, even though there was some discussion, there was no strong reaction from the people, and everyone still lived a similar life as before.

It is a pity that the North is not an isolated island isolated from the world, and the wave sweeping the empire is destined to spread to every land, and everyone has to make their own choices in this wave.
