Act 144 The Fateful War
When Sanders walked out of the summer palace in Valhalla, he couldn't help but let out a long breath. He didn't expect that Her Royal Highness the Princess would agree to meet with His Highness Levin so quickly, even though the meeting took place at another location. Some details need to be discussed, but they are irrelevant.
For this reason, the Sifah family will send a special delegation to discuss this issue, but that is not his scope of authority. When Sanders stood in the tree-shaded square, he looked through the overlapping branches outside Valhalla. The hilly scenery of Tonigel fell into his eyes from far and near, and suddenly he realized It's time to leave this place.
Although he had only had a quick glance these days, the beautiful scenery of the Mintai Hills was still deeply engraved in his heart. This is a strange land that is growing vigorously, showing other aspects of what is happening in Eruin today. A vitality that cannot be seen in other places.
People discussed pioneering beyond the boundaries of civilization, the exploration and adventure of the black forest, reclamation, minerals, and expectations for the coming year. The history of countless people's struggles converged into a heavy poem. The farmers' sons, craftsmen, and apprentices are now... Has the title of knight.
Things that were deviant in the eyes of other nobles were so natural in this remote land. When he saw the knights and their newly decorated masters driving into the deep forest with flying swallow-tail flags, At that time, I felt deeply shocked in my heart.
pioneer knight
In the Year of the Frog or after the Year of the Flame, how many years has it been since we saw the pioneering knights of the kingdom?
It's not just in Eruin. How many years has it been since humans set foot outside the Black Forest? However, Tonigel expanded by one-third in just three years, and it was paved with countless heroic souls and blood. However, how could this land called Warnde be the same?
Sanders seemed to see the birth of a new aristocratic class, just like Eruin's ancient sages, and their glory was no less than that of Eruin of that era.
It was a vibrant kingdom that seemed to exist in the past.
He couldn't help but sigh deeply. It would be great if His Highness met him first instead of the eldest princess. They would definitely have the same goals. Compared to the somewhat overly conservative Corcova family, he still thought that perhaps another option would be better.
But for now, everything is still unclear, and the future of the kingdom still hangs on this crucial meeting. The urgent sense of mission forced him to put away his emotions:
"Get a fast horse and take this document to Port Gris."
"Okay, leave it to me, sir."
The attendant from Balta took the letter with both hands, patting his chest and confirming it. Little did he know that the letter in his hand was holding together a kingdom, two families, dozens of noble inheritances, and the fate of countless people.
Antitina glanced at the envoy not far away. She knew that the envoy had just come out of the Summer Palace of Valhalla. Her Royal Highness must have agreed to the envoy's request for a meeting. This person had been left hanging in Valhalla for half the time. For months, if the light spirit hadn't reported the situation of these 'outsiders' to her every day, of course, this was also her request. She would have almost thought that this person had left.
But the other party was so patient that he actually waited. Maybe it's because Haruze is back, or just because Her Highness the Princess's mood has improved. She was not surprised why the special envoy of the Earl of Gray Mountain appeared at this point in time. The Earl of Gray Mountain and the Corcova royal family have a natural close relationship. A war cannot change anything. History has long proven this. Although She was slightly surprised by the other party's keen sense of smell.
The kingdom's history of continuous struggle for the throne and power has never been cut off. Although it rarely developed into civil war, before the end of the Sifah dynasty, Eruin also had constant disputes. The family connection gave Antitina a heart. A heart that can discern the current situation keenly.
She knew exactly what she was doing and had to do it.
"Although the lord is unwilling to interfere in the internal disputes in the kingdom, these matters cannot be avoided by wishful thinking. The lord does not want to be contaminated by this layer of filth. As his staff, we should not cherish our feathers too much, mistress Be it a butcher or not, I don’t care.”
"This is the first time I have heard you answer this question head-on. You have changed a lot during the Lord's absence. Antitina."
"Mr. Charles, no matter what outsiders say, we all understand why Sir went to the empire. He cherishes each of us, whether it is Miss Akane or everyone else. This may be a bit naive. ,but……"
Antitina sighed softly: "I cherish it too. This kind of emotion, everyone is together, watching each other..."
"So when the master is away, I have to help him manage this family in order to be able to live up to this trust. If anyone dares to interfere, I won't mind making that name more fearful."
"That cold-blooded mistress of Fir Castle?"
"Mistress is not even close."
"I hope Lord Martha will protect Miss Roman, Miss Metissa and Lord Lord." Ciel prayed.
The two of them were sitting in the cloister of Valha's Moon Square. The arcade made of trees and vines was filled with snow-like clusters of flowers. Even after September, they were still in full bloom. When the wind blew across the square, the flowers and leaves were flying and falling. on the ground.
Antitina looked away from the other side of the square and asked: "Then what are your plans next, Mr. Charles?"
"I may go to the front line. After the third batch of students from the Moon Tower graduates, I will take them to the Manowell area."
"Really? I thought you would go find the Lord's whereabouts alone. If that's the case, I don't need to persuade you anymore."
"You originally planned to persuade me?"
Antitina nodded: "This war is related to Eruin's future. We understand what is most important in the hearts of the lords. The victory of this war is still a bit far away for us, but at least we We can’t lose too much, Tony Geer needs time, it only takes twenty years, or even ten years, before we have the ability to fight Madara head-on.”
"This is exactly what I have in mind, and I don't want to see Brando's hard work go to waste. But after that, I may not be able to help you develop magic devices, but I will leave you with enough manpower, no. Everyone will be taken away.”
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, there are only the final finishing touches left. Although there are still many problems, I think it should be able to catch up with this war."
Charles paused for a moment: "Your teacher, Garlok the Stranger, recently went south with Nicholas. He may come to see you. He is very accomplished in magic devices and may be able to help you with the last step. busy."
Antitina frowned when she heard the name.
"What?" Charles keenly noticed the change in the mood of the staff lady.
"It's nothing, it has something to do with my father."
"Does he know your father?"
"...It has a little relationship." Antitina changed the topic and said: "By the way, bring the witches with you. Eruin's magician group is far inferior to Madara. Freya also thinks that The battle line will retreat to the east of Chablis within half a month. The coalition forces of Lantonilan and Anlek are ready to stop the undead army in the Crimson Canyon. You will need them when fighting in the forests and hills. of."
"It sounds like things are bad on the front lines."
"The undead's offensive is very fierce, and the coalition forces of the nobles are spending a lot of money on the front line. According to the news from Silman, they can buy us so much time, which is already commendable."
The coalition forces of Goran Elson and Viero could not stop the undead. This was something that had been expected. The royal party was summoning reinforcements from the rear to support the front line, but for Tony Geer, having Brando as a prophet plug-in, the territory has actually already made all preparations.
Historically, the coalition forces retreated all the way to the north of Manowell, losing the strategic depth of the Fort Kurk defense line and the Bragues area. This led to the division of the Karasu and Lantonilan battlefields, and also led to the second Black Rose. The direct cause of the fiasco in the Red Canyon during the war.
But right now, at least the battle that destroyed all hopes of the Kingdom of Eruin has not yet begun. Brando has pre-arranged the plan according to the worst plan from the beginning. At this moment, Freya has gone to Jeandenel to assemble, and Bai The Lion Guard came out of the southern foothills of the Dwarf Ring Mountains, echoing the Lantonilan Legion heading south from Shallow Water Town.
Coupled with the White Lions in the Anlek area, under such circumstances, it is almost impossible for Bromando's Black Rose to fight a perfect annihilation battle like in history, and it is more likely to revolve around Ku There were dozens of defensive battles, large and small, in the strategic point of Erke Fort.
The Crimson Canyon will no longer be the place of Eruin's pain. On the contrary, it will be a hideous wound that drains Madara's blood.
What's more, he didn't expect Eruin to defeat it in the second Black Rose War just three years later. But Madara has more than one enemy, and there is not only one front in the Dead Moon Kingdom. As long as he can win in the library There is a stalemate situation near Erke Fort, and the undead will soon be unable to support it.
After all, the rising Black Rose of Bromando is not the huge and unstoppable empire that it will be in a few decades.
And what Eruin needs is all the forces that can contain Madara to attack smoothly. The coalition of nobles, the reinforcements of the royal party and even the White Lion Army are just the original weights on the scale. What can really change the situation of the battle is the history. Power from Valhalla that never existed.
The fire ignited by the Ring of Trade Winds will finally light up the future of this kingdom on this day.
