From time to time there were cheers from a distance. Three seven-headed snake lizards were attacking the camp of the rebels below the mountain. These huge creatures had exceeded the canopy from above their chests. When they picked up the rebels, they threw them into the air. At that time, the heads that were raised up were as tall as spruce; the seven snake lizards were covered in armor, and even the skulls were buckled with spiked skull helmets, and down were layers of chain armor that protected the long neck. The soft bows and spears of the rebels had no effect on it. When they dashed forward, they stepped through the camp. The wooden wall creaked and broke under the impact. A row of iron men in the camp greeted him and was kicked. Squash.
Faced with such a monster, the rebel's psychological defense finally collapsed, and after a scream, he turned and fled. The knights of the White Lion Guard saw the Tier 4 creature iron man made by artisans and wizards on the mountain. They couldn’t help but stun their tongues. Although they knew the existence of these snakes and lizards in Valhalla, they didn’t. I thought they were so powerful.
Could it be that Miss Monica is very careful about these babies.
Dozens of gargoyles rose into the air and flew over the sky towards the snake lizard under the command of a wind elemental giant, but the snake lizard crossed its torso under the command of the trainer, revealing the one it was carrying on its back. Two-story tower. The tree elf archers on the tower were holding silver long bows, and rows of figures stood gracefully behind the breast wall. They opened their bows, and a squeaky bow sounded across the forest.
"Open the bow—"
"put!"
A rain of black arrows flew out like a wall in mid-air, sweeping like a hurricane passing by. In a blink of an eye, most of the gargoyle withered, leaving only the wind giant roaring violently in the air, and the cloud-like body was lightning and lightning. roar.
But the commander on the tower had already noticed the polished commander, and a black flag was raised—the elves turned around and started shooting the rebels that were escaping below, because physical attacks would do little to no harm to the incorporeal elemental creatures— It was the Druid who shot, and bunches of flame arrows flew out from the tower, hitting the wind element, and it wailed again and again.
The wind elemental giants once formed an alliance with the Buga. Naturally, the gray wizards of the Sasalders could not ignore their allies being attacked, and they rose from the forest in an attempt to stop these giant beasts. But before they had time to attack, rows of silver figures descended from the clouds. They were the Valkyrie. Riding on the blazing pegasus, holding silver spears and scimitars, they whizzed and launched a charge on the battlefield.
The Valkyrie who came to support from Tonigel arrived, and they merged with the Valkyrie led by Brunhild. The number is obviously more than before, and it has almost formed a scale. Since the beginning of the restoration of the Cloud Gate, Valhalla has begun to summon Valkyrie on a small scale.
And seeing these Valkyries, the young knights of the White Lion Guard could not help but cheer again-although they are now ragged and look like a group of beggars on shoulders, this does not hinder the enthusiasm and passion in their hearts. Excitement—These valkyries have always been their biggest support these days. If they hadn't been for the gray wizards who dragged down the Sasald, they would have been burned to ashes by magic.
The gray wizards and the Valkyrie are already old opponents, and the fighting power between the two is not equal, and it is obviously difficult to tell the winner in a short period of time.
But after the biggest reliance of the rebels on the battlefield is lost, there is only a question of time left to fail. Of course, for the Tonigel people, this is not important anymore. Compared with the battle of Mintai, this is just a small scene at the moment, and the results of the thousands of noble rebels are simply not worth mentioning.
Brando found Freya after leaving Princess Griffin's tent. The Valkyrie of Eruin was sitting alone on a rock in a daze, and didn't care about the battle below. When Brando found her, the former was startled and hurriedly wiped away his tears, blushing. Jumped off the rock.
"You... Didn't you see anything?" Freya asked with a blush.
"Didn't you just watch it in the tent..."
Such an answer naturally resulted in a fierce stare.
Freya hesitated for a moment, thinking of Antitina, feeling a little guilty in her heart: "Brando, I didn't protect Miss Antitina, I'm sorry, I..."
Brando shook his head: "Your opponent is the Sassard. This time we have done a good job. If you have to apologize, you can talk to Antitina in person."
"what?"
Brando looked at the battle in the distance.
He retracted his gaze and said, "Let's go, let's save Antitina now."
Freya's eyes widened in disbelief, she pointed to her chest: "Me too?"
"Why, don't you want to go?" Brando smiled: "You lost her. Naturally you brought her back. I will take you along the way."
Freya felt warm in her heart but couldn't speak, she could only look at each other tenderly and express her meaning with her eyes.
That is thanks and gratitude.
Of course it's not just this time.
"I'm sorry, Brando," she said suddenly apologetically.
Brando was stunned: "What's the matter? Didn't you say that you don't need to say I'm sorry?"
"It's not that," Freya blushed slightly: "It's just because of something before."
"what's up?"
Freya just shook her head and put on the dumb.
That seems to be many times ago.
Memories that only remain in my heart...
"... I want to find my parents. My uncle and aunt said that when I grow up, they will tell me who they are. They said that my father is a knight, and he is as great as Lord Everton. One day I will become a man. knight."
"Of course Roman wants to become a businessman, because a businessman can make a lot of money, so much money that my aunt and I will never use up!"
"What about you, Brando."
"I?"
"I don't know, but I don't want to learn any swordsmanship. I want my grandfather to understand that what is really powerful in this world is not a sword. One day, if I have this ability, I must let Eruin never be invaded by war. , So that its people can live steadily without a sword, instead of worrying about it every day."
"How is it possible that the undead are so terrible, how can they let us go, Brando, how are you going to deal with the undead?"
"I haven't figured it out yet, but anyway, I always feel that I have seen such a world in my dreams. If it exists, I will definitely find it out."
But the naivety that was once gradually became mature. When she stood in front of the young girls, she asked them: "Brando, Mr. Madden is the chief instructor of the swordsman of Ridenberg, he is a really capable person. I am. I'm going to join the militia, Breson will also go, don't you want to protect other people, come with us?"
The teenager shook his head: "I may be going back to Braggs for a while. Let's talk about it if I have a chance. My father wants me to inherit his mill. He said in the letter that his grandfather's health is getting worse and worse. The elderly may want to see. I."
She was a little disappointed in her heart, but she did not ask for some words.
"What about you, Roman."
"I will wait for Brando to come back, and if he is going to participate in militia training, I will go too."
The girl nodded, turned and left.
That is seven years.
When they met again, it was the midsummer of the year of blooming flowers; and on the summer night of that year, the stars in the sky were particularly bright.
The two walked side by side in the camp like this, Freya quietly looked at Brando on the side-he had never forgotten those words at that time. It turned out that Roman had always known that she was the stupidest one. That person. But why did he choose such a path? Mr. Madden said that his path was different from ours. It turned out that Mr. Madden had already seen something. He knew from the beginning that Brando was the swordsman Darus. Descendants of
Freya thought silently.
"Has the elements been civilized, Freya, can you fly?"
Freya returned to her senses and looked at Brando's hand extended to her.
"Well," she nodded: "Andrea and the others taught me."
"Then put my hand—"
She stretched out her hand, hesitated for a moment, and placed it in the heart of her warm hand.
The wandering heart unexpectedly settled down at this moment.
…
Rows of seats, religious-style reliefs, twelve-story columns rising one by one, and the supporting arches immersed in the darkness, one hundred and seventy stone statues stared at the noisy hall in the shadows. On the top of the vault, the final battle between the Azure Knight and the Twilight Dragon is drawn. The heroes of the gods and the destruction of the world. The cyan and red paints each occupy half of the mural, and the sky light is projected from the central hole.
A ray of white light passed through the darkness, suddenly carving out the long circular table in the center of the hall from the darkness.
The representatives of the Farnzan, the Cruzes, the Wind Elves, the Silver Bay states, the Bugans and the Druids each occupy an area, and then the representatives from the White City states, the barbarians, in the center of the long circular table, It is the master of this place, a Miner elemental tyrant in a red robe, Tumen, Modefice and Andrique are separated from the old man.
Beside the three of them is Grey Sword Mephistopheles. The latter is looking at the area where Cruz’s representative is. At that moment, more than half of it is empty. Only the few troops of Mangrove, Duke Ludwig and Veronica The people on the side were sitting there.
The elves have not yet arrived, there are only a few guards in the position of St. Ossor, and the elven girls carrying long bows are whispering to each other. The area of the Silver Alliance was almost vacant. Only three or two big cats and kittens remained. Most wizards had left the Babel Fortress, only a few apprentices remained, and they never spoke to any suggestions.
A taciturn elder sat in the position of the druid, proving the existence of the sky ring.
Although the crowds of the Silver Bay states are crowded, in fact there are not many people who have the right to speak. Quite a few of these people are asking about the Wilderness of the Four Realms and why the coalition forces in Silver Bay have not yet arrived in Alcash. . As for the representatives of the barbarians-most of them are the mountain people who fled from Varach and the highland people of Anzeruta. They rarely send representatives, but they rarely express their opinions.
Finally, there are representatives of the Farnzan and the White City states. The former mainly includes members of the Farnzan Royal Knights and the Air Knights who are supported by the Pope’s order. The latter is basically a make-up—except for the Adventures of the Eagles in the Far Land. The guild sent a group of more than 300 mercenaries to come to support it.
After all, the Farnzan and the wild elves of Ellanta have to deal with the threats from the Great Glacier and Nightbirds in the east.
This decision on whether to withdraw from Fort Babel was in fact mainly centered on the opinions of the wind elves and the Cruz people, but the sudden absence of the Cruz people and the wind elves before the meeting made most people feel puzzled, and for a while in the hall There was a lot of discussion, echoing with a buzzing sound of discussion.
Almost the main representatives of the Saint Osor side did not show up at all, and the Elf guards who were responsible for maintaining order would naturally not participate in this level of meetings, while on the Cruze side, serious disputes occurred within the military.
Veronica firmly does not advocate evacuation of the fortress-her persistence is not without reason. After exiting the Alkash region, the crystal cluster army can launch an attack from the Alkash mountain to the entire Four Frontiers, and thereafter it will be thousands of miles away. There is no danger at all in the plains.
In the future, I will retreat to the Mugu Forest, relying on the Baishan and Qiumu Mountains to defend. Although the ancient forest is the natural border of St. Osor, it is hard to say how important it is to the army of crystal clusters. .
More importantly, the conditions there are not necessarily better than here. If the immortal fortress of Babel cannot be maintained, then what is the point of building a line of defense in other places? They can retreat today, but can they go further, is it like in the battle of the saints, fleeing to the wasteland
This time the enemy is not only from the west.
Her idea was supported by most of the young officers, but she was faced with difficulties from reality-the twilight offensive had broken through the last line of defense, and the scattered acropolis and defensive facilities outside the'Tongtian Tower' were next. Within a few days, they will be thrown away clean. Without logistical support, how long can they stay in this lonely fortress? One month, two months, half a year or a year
So on the other hand, to be precise, Duke Ludwig totally disagrees with such a desperate approach.
Trapped in the fortress waiting for the Buga to solve the internal problems, and then let the wind elves change their minds and the undead of Madara back to the negotiating table-how can military operations be so passive and hope everything will happen to the best possible situation ? But if it is too late to bury the coalition of humans and elves here, the world of such a loss order cannot afford it.
His statement has also been supported by some people, even most people. After all, most people understand the principle of "losing land and keeping people, man and land; losing people and land, man and land both", and most people understand it, and This sounds more logical.
Intellectually, Veronica did not disagree with this logic.
But this female army commander still has deeper worries in her heart.
If the coalition forces retreated to the Baishan-Qiumu Mountain line, then the passage of the empire to Eruin would be completely exposed. Speaking of the border country to the southeast of the empire, Veronica felt a little strange in her heart. It wasn't her sentimentality, but a faint feeling in her heart that this matter was not that simple.
Although Eruin is nothing more than a humble existence for most people in the empire, it is this small kingdom that has shown amazing power during the recent civil strife in the empire—that young man, Veronica felt even more Can't see through. She always felt that the other party might have some secrets, otherwise it would be difficult to explain the rapid rise of this small kingdom.
What is even more difficult to explain is that if the Baishan disaster is understandable, then why the Buga's rebellion went to Eruin to make waves, and there was no connection at all with this war.
What if the original purpose of the Twilight Dragon was to destroy this little kingdom
The more Veronica thought about it, the more she felt that she might have seen through the movement of the Dragon of Twilight, but this judgment was completely contrary to her common sense and logic. There was no reason that the army of Twilight had two powerful civilizations, Cruz and St. Ossor. If we don't deal with it, we have to destroy a small border country first.
She can only speculate that the dragon of dusk has another picture.
But it is exactly what she has difficulty telling. The meaning behind a military operation on such a large scale may affect the future of the entire continent. No one will use his own conjecture as a criterion for judgment-no matter how she thinks about this conjecture. How confident.
And she could not prove her conjecture, because of Anzeruta's disaster, Cruz and Eruin's land contact had long been severed. Almost all news about that kingdom now comes from the Silver Bay area, but the Silver Bay area is actually unilaterally accepting the magical information from the South.
Now it is impossible for anyone to go to Eruin to confirm the accuracy of the news. After the outbreak of the war, commercial exchanges in various regions have already tended to halt.
Veronica can only choose to stick to her own opinions.
But her attitude seemed to be stubborn to outsiders, and even the people who supported her at the beginning couldn't help but waver after a while.
And there are also some pro-war factions. Most of these people are young people from various noble families. They seem to be organized by others to lobby those hesitant double-faced factions. At first, Duke Ludwig thought that Veronica had found these people, but later discovered that the female army commander seemed to disdain to do such a thing.
However, the political influence of these young people is weak, and neither side regards them too much.
For Veronica's stubbornness, Duke Ludwig just kept shaking his head.
"No, no."
He kept opposing.
The dispute between the two became louder and louder, and even overwhelmed the discussion in the hall. People turned their heads in this direction one after another, the look on Mangrove's face was a bit embarrassing, but at this moment, an attendant hurriedly walked in from outside the hall.
Mangrove had a bad premonition from the look on the servant's face, and the servant came to him, leaned over and said a few words in his ear. After Mangrove listened, Huo Ran got up from his seat.
"What did you say?"
…
