"In fact, it is this holy sword that we have been guarding for generations." Dilfieri patted the wooden box lightly. "Its name is Mithol, it is the holy sword of the light system. It used to It is Fa Enzan’s treasure, but I don’t know why it came to Gilt, the King of Flame, and then my family brought it to this land incognito."
Bresson and Manrique seemed to have heard some fantasy, and their faces showed a look of astonishment.
"Why does the King of Flames take so much trouble to do these things?" The young captain couldn't help but asked, "This is not in line with common sense!"
Dilfieri shook his head: "I don't understand, but this is a legend passed down from generation to generation in my family, and the holy sword does exist here. I shouldn't have known this, but when my father was framed by my uncle and went to jail Before, he quietly told me all this. I understand what he meant. He entrusted me with Yanbao's future."
"That said, Baron Dall has been torturing your father. Your father has not let go of the whereabouts of this holy sword, so he has not been killed?"
Dilfieri nodded.
"But what does it mean to Eruin? What does the lionheart holy sword mean to it," Manrique still couldn't accept that the holy sword in the hands of the Valkyrie was a fake, except for Lord Lord. , That is the person he admires most: "Could it be that the lion heart swords held by the Sifah royal family and the Corkova royal family have always been fake?"
"No, the Lionheart Sword is real. Although it is forged by imitating the brilliance. But it has nurtured the soul of the holy sword Odyssey, and it carries the belief of the first king Eke. The oath on the sword is always It binds Eruin and symbolizes the soul of this country."
"So, what does this holy sword mean?"
"I think one person might understand all of this," she said softly after thinking of something Dilfieri: "My uncle's plan is not small, and I increasingly suspect that this is a conspiracy. Maybe the Holy Sword will continue to stay in Yan today. The fort is not safe anymore, so I hope you can take it to the south to a safer place."
"You mean, Brando?" Breson asked.
"Mr. Earl once resonated with the Holy Sword Odyssey in Rusita. I think he must know something, the Holy Sword of Flame, and the secret behind the Holy Sword of Light." Dilfieri replied.
Breson and Manrique looked at each other.
"What about you, Miss Dilfield."
"Of course I stay here. My father has not recovered yet. After a while, I will go to the peace meeting in Amperexel. At that time, if Mr. Brando has returned to Eruin, I will Tell him all this personally."
Manrique shook his head: "It's not safe here, Miss Dilfieri, we didn't catch Baron Dale, he may still be hiding in the dark. If we leave, the safety of you and Lord Earl is difficult to guarantee."
"Perhaps it can be this way," Bresson thought for a while, and said: "The revival of Yanbao is not a day-by-day event. Maybe we can split up. I escort Miss Dilfrey to Balta, where there is the royal territory. , You can go there as a guest. And this holy sword is escorted to the south by Mr. Manrique. Compared to our respective positions, he is also more suitable for this task."
"That's not bad." Manrique also agreed with the proposal.
Dilfieri hesitated slightly, she finally returned to her homeland and regained the land, easily reluctant to leave it immediately. But she also understands that both Manrique and Bresson are right. Now she has no soldiers and no soldiers. The old and weak servants in the castle are not enough to protect her and her father.
She was about to nod, but at this moment there was a knock on the door. The voice of Ronin, the captain of her guard knight, came in from outside: "We may not be able to go there anymore, miss."
"What's the matter?" Breson frowned.
"Just now Nia was attacked while patrolling outside, and an army suddenly surrounded Yanbao."
"It's impossible," Bresson said angrily. "What about my men, aren't they stationed outside the city?"
"The camp outside the city has been attacked, my lord," Luo Ning replied calmly, "I have ordered someone to open the city gate and let the lord's men enter the castle. There are many enemies outside... some very strange enemies. "
"strangeness?"
"How is Nya?" Dilfieri asked nervously, "Is anyone injured?"
"There are a lot of people injured, but Nia is not a serious problem," Ronin's voice stopped: "Mr. Bresson, do you want to go up to the city wall to have a look?"
The three people in the secret room looked at each other.
"This is natural." Breson drew out his sword and replied in a deep voice.
The town of Capello has always been the only way from Corcovado to the Earl of Yanbao. In peacetime, Yanbao is one of the two important entrances and exits to the east and west of the empire; therefore, it serves as a link between the center of the empire and the border. The region’s thoroughfare, Capello was once a major commercial and densely populated town, but since the Frost Rebellion, the center of empire's rule has increasingly shifted to West Fah and Amperel, and Capello’s position has gradually been reduced. It was replaced by the Grey Mountain Earl from the south, and it began to go from prosperity to decline.
Since the Yanbao Rebellion began four years ago, the new ruler of Yanbao has doubled the use of the past business travelers, and the commercial activities on this road have become more and more withered. To this day, this place has become a trading center of the year. The center has become a deserted and withered town.
However, the size of the town itself still remains. The fortress built to protect commercial activities in the past still stands in the pass of the northern part of Grey Mountain. This is the territory of the Corcovado royal family. Therefore, there are knights in the daily routine. Patrol here.
But today there is something special.
The knight who should have returned at this moment is nowhere to be seen. The horse that lost its master is wandering between the mountain passes. The battle robe with the royal emblem of the star, moon, silver and lily is scattered among the gravel, broken armor and broken. The sword, the cold corpse and the blood flowing in the valley seemed to be telling a fierce battle.
A silent army was moving forward along the valley. The dense crowd seemed to occupy the entire field of vision from far to near. Occasionally, a few Corcovado gray wolves walked past the gravel in the valley. Watching this endless march with cold eyes.
On Capello's watch tower, Sentinel Weilian was finally awakened by his companions, and the cold early morning made him shrink his neck involuntarily.
"Is it time for a shift?" he muttered.
But before he finished speaking, he was covered by his companion.
"Woo...," Weilian heard a disgusting stench, making him almost roll his eyes: "Damn...what are you doing, did you just shit?"
"Shut up, Weilian, you don't want to live anymore?" The horrified gaze of his companion finally calmed him down, and the other party pointed to the outside and said, "Look outside!"
"Outside?"
"In the valley, damn it!"
"What's that?" Weilian pushed his companion away, climbed to the crenellation, and took a breath: "Where did the army come from? Was it the army a while ago? They came back from Yanbao." ?"
"That's a member of the White Lion Corps, but these are different. Look at their flags. Their flags are different!"
Weilian squinted his eyes and tried to distinguish the dark flags. He compared the few flags in his limited memory, but he didn't find any that could match the flags.
There was a bang in his mind, and suddenly a thought flashed through that made him almost tremble.
"Quick...Quick..." He said to his companion tremblingly: "It's not ours, it's Yanbao, it must be Yanbao's rebellion!"
"what should we do?"
"Hurry up and ring the alarm, you damn idiot!"
When the jingling alarm bells echoed over the entire Capello, so in the late winter of this year in Eruin, the stern bells that echoed from Capello finally spread to the group from Balta to Sifah. Between the mountains.
…
Levin Onesson sat in the carriage, gazing gently at a lighthouse in the distance, and the blue sea of the Sea of Glitter, shimmering and shimmering in the sun, it was the last on the Cape of Ampersel A lighthouse, it marks the end of the southern border of Eruin, and further north, past the Pelican Fort, is the land of West Fah.
Wang's eldest son's light blue eyes didn't blink, as if he could really see all this, but the holes in the blue-gray pupils obscured all the beautiful scenery between the world and the earth.
He was not at peace in his heart. On this trip to the South, he sent away his beloved sister, but he achieved the results he wanted the most. For the first time, Eruin's future seemed so real and within reach, and it was so close in front of him, as if everything was developing towards the best. Since the Frost Rebellion, the kingdom has been in constant turmoil, as if it is really going to come to an end at the end of the year.
Although the nobles whose interests have been hurt more or less have some rebounds, most of them have been on the side of the royal family. Everyone seems to have had enough of the prolonged division and war. People began to feel tired. They finally Will let go of the burden of the past and start to move forward again.
Since the defeat of Duke Anlek in the Battle of Amperexel, Eluin has shown such signs, and he just let it come sooner.
"Edessa." Levin said softly suddenly: "If my ideal is realized, what about yours?"
"My dream is to be with Your Highness forever, serving as His Highness's eyes."
"You always say what I like, but I want to listen to your heart."
"It's all true, Your Highness," the maid replied softly, "Because only I understand the ideal in His Highness's heart. It is so tall and glorious. I am willing to keep every detail of it in my heart and tell the people who follow it."
"But if there is really a dream," her voice became a little expectant: "I do have such an ideal, Your Highness."
"Oh?"
"I hope that one day, Your Highness can regain the light and see with your own eyes all this you have achieved, the smiles of people, and the future of this kingdom."
Levin Onesson fell silent suddenly.
