The epic "Poem of Blue" created by the Cruz people mentioned that the four kings of elves and their subordinate elements are the guardians of this world. However, this agreement is only limited to between them and Martha. These elements themselves are violent and furious. Humans rarely get along with them, as they are now—
After the lightning cage was difficult to work, Adgar the'rager' jumped directly into the third stage, Brando was shocked when he saw it. I immediately lost the mood of watching the show, and immediately turned around and shouted: "Your Royal Highness, please immediately order everyone to retreat to the southern foot of the Unk Mountain!"
The crowd went inside without knowing it, but suddenly there was a muffled noise from the ground, like the roar of a building collapsed. They raised their heads, but saw countless violent whirlwind elements in the crack where Adegar was located pouring out from under the temple ruins. At the same time, the purple-black thundercloud surged above and began to drop patches of lightning. storm.
That scene is like the scene of the coming of the "Last Judgment" described in the black prophecy book, "Between heaven and earth are the scenes of the end, electricity and fire fall from the clouds, and the knight in the evening rides between the fire and rain, and then burns. Do everything'. Everyone looked pale, and the private soldiers under Count Ouding were even more frightened. Her Royal Highness also lost blood on her face, but she calmed down a bit and immediately issued an order: "Earl Odin, Royal Knight Academy The non-commissioned officer asks you to retreat to the direction of Unk Mountain immediately, Mr. Brando, you lead our Nami friends to retreat together."
Brando looked back at the scene of the cracked ground that day, and probably the only person present was not afraid, but felt that the scene was so familiar. The player's eagerness for exploration and adventure is burning in his blood, and he turns his head again and adds: "Also remember not to leave the range of this valley!"
Princess Griffin glanced at him and nodded seriously.
In fact, there is no need to order, the Southern Legion Flying Dragoons over the battlefield have already begun to retreat. After everyone enters the forest. The last one to leave was the Greyfin Naga. When the sea monster Brigitte passed Brando, he glanced at him with beautiful bright yellow eyes, and said in a rustling voice: "You are not a good commander, but you are a good commander. prophet."
Brando's heart burst slightly and looked at her bewildered.
"Don't be surprised, the water tells me everything." The big sea monster Brigitte bowed to him, and then took his ritual and slid into the forest with a long blade, with a long tail like a snake.
"What did she say to you?" Sanir also followed, and asked curiously; the big sea monster Brigitte has a very high status among the grayfin naga, and it has not seen her do anything to that male creature. Color-whether the opponent is a naga or a human.
"She said I was a magic stick, do you see me like it?" Brando turned his head and smiled slightly.
Saner considered it for a moment, and replied seriously, "I think it's a bit like it."
It was indeed very similar, so that Princess Griffin waited until everyone had gone up the mountain, and waited a step behind until Brando finally walked up. She looked at the man carefully with silver eyes, and then asked, "Mr. Brando, have you already known that this monster is sealed in the ruins of the underground temple in Mar Heights?"
What she asked was the question in everyone's minds, and if it weren't for that, it wouldn't explain why he had to fight against the northern coalition forces in this place. Moreover, he was the one who ordered the disintegration of crystals. He ordered a team of lizardmen to transport a large number of crystals into the ground without hiding the others.
By the way, Brando also discovered the corridor leading to the underground.
Too many coincidences is no coincidence.
Brando knew that he couldn't hide it, so he nodded, "Yes." A black wolf the size of a pony passed him and rubbed his shoulder affectionately with his head. Brando touched its furry forehead. . The wolves were passing by the two of them. Her Royal Highness had only heard of such a strange sight in legends, and she couldn't help but gently hold her breath when she experienced it for herself.
"On the Anlek Plateau was once the holy land of the silver elves. There are many secrets buried here. This temple is one of them, and the other is near Faor. That ruin is much larger than this one. The ancient wars made many History is buried underground, but these histories are still recorded in the ancient documents of wizards." Brando replied.
The princess was silent for a while, she already knew that Brando knew many secrets that ordinary people didn't know. But no one knows how he mastered this knowledge, as if he was born with knowing, omniscient and omnipotent.
She thought for a while and asked: "Mr. Brando... No, the descendant of Lord Juggernaut. You said you didn't know anything about your grandfather's deeds, and your experience seemed to us like a legend; you overcome It took the dangers and difficulties that ordinary people can't imagine, so that we have come to this step. We all know that your future is unlimited. If you want, status and power, even... women are all at your fingertips, but why should you choose to help? I?"
She didn't ask for a subtext. Looking back today, it is not difficult to find that Brando's every move since he left Rideenburg is preparing for today. He unabashedly expressed his favor for her, Her Royal Highness, the Princess of Eruin, and unconditionally assisted in the most difficult time of the Corcovado royal family.
If Brando had come with the will of the swordmaster Darus, she might not have been surprised. But it is not. Brando's legend is his own epic. He didn't even know that his grandfather was the famous swordsman in Eruin's history.
Princess Griffith never believed that there would be unprovoked love in this world, just as there would be no unprovoked hatred.
This question is still asked. Brando scratched his head. It's not that he hadn't thought about this question. It was indeed difficult for him to answer. Can't it be said that the love and hatred of the previous life have continued on to this soul, so that it is unforgettable
"Uh... probably because some people are born worthy of being helped. Besides, the princess is so beautiful, isn't it worthy of help?"
"Mr. Brando intends to use this answer to perfuse everyone. I think even your subordinates need a reason?" Griffin asked calmly.
This really hit Brando's death hole. He turned his head and noticed that Kaglisi and Antitina were both quietly paying attention to the movement here. Indeed, what he did in the past can make the people gathered around him not ask why. Because they believe that he can lead them to create miracles.
But it takes more than miracles to save an aging kingdom. One day, they need a common goal.
"... Actually I don't understand, Your Royal Highness. But I think the kingdom has also been rejuvenated, but it is fleeting, and one or two strong men will not be able to change history in the end. Perhaps what the kingdom needs is not only strong power, but this What purpose does the power serve."
"Is it determined to eradicate everything wrong in this kingdom, or just to maintain its decadent reign. Princess, don't you already have the answer in your heart, and your answer is my answer." Brando replied slowly.
He closed his eyes, and others thought he was talking about the second rejuvenation of the kingdom, but Brando was actually talking about Eruin's last revival. That was the last drama of this kingdom, but it came to a regrettable curtain.
Princess Griffin looked at Brando in a daze, and clenched her fists. In fact, she had already thought of this answer in her heart. But she closed her eyes and tried not to cry because of her excitement.
She wants to maintain the rule of this kingdom.
It is not because the Corcovado royal family has to be forever.
It is to inherit the ideals of the ancestors and oneself, and to reproduce the most glorious era in Eruin's history. But her brilliance does not belong to the nobles, but to the entire kingdom, everyone. Even if the Corcovado royal family no longer maintains the rule, she will not lose the glory of Saint White.
From then on, Eruin will shine in the history of Vaughan as a country, not a vassal and stage of the nobility. Just like the oath promised by the first king Eke on this land-what the Lionheart Sword should prove is not that the rule on this land will continue forever, but that the glory belongs to the Eruin people.
Until that moment, this ancient country will grow stronger from the inside out, radiating new life and vitality.
Brando silently looked at this weak girl—she had never had a companion in history—even except for a few players, no one knew the true ideals of the princess, even the nobles who supported her did not understand her persistence. What is it.
In order to obtain the support of the royal party, in order to obtain the support of Duke Anlek, she had to compromise again and again. Some players even slandered her as a political prostitute|female—but she had to retain the rule of the nobility in order to maintain her most basic requirement to achieve that ultimate goal.
It’s just that the development of history is often not as expected. This is where the tragedy of the princess lies.
She had to go against her ideals time and time again, although she tried her best to make up for it, but in the end it was difficult to recover. When she finally decided to give up the past and move forward, the new aristocrats who had been pulled by her hand and the royal party that supported her immediately abandoned her.
But maybe she should jump out of this old thinking at the beginning and win the help of people who really should support her. But after all, she was a princess who grew up in the royal family, deeply afraid of the deep-rooted power of the nobility.
But finally someone stood behind her.
Brando thought silently, maybe this is a change. Let her understand that she can rely on more than the nobles of the kingdom, this ancient kingdom has more people who want to change, such as Freya, Antitina, and even the descendants of nobles like Kaglisi , It’s just that they can’t tell, can’t see through the fog of history.
But he can see everything in the future at a glance. He doesn't even need to guess, the history and the future are within his reach. Brando understands what is right and what is wrong.
The nobles in the north are obsessed with the power of the past, and all their efforts are just to continue the current situation. But eventually someone was determined to get rid of the evils of the old days, and understood that this ancient kingdom must be reborn on top of its ruins.
He turned his head and saw Kaglisi lying on a simple stretcher not far away winking at him. And Antitina nodded to him with a smile, as if she was relieved.
Princess Griffin also took a deep breath.
Her gaze couldn't help but crossed Brando's shoulder, and her silver eyes reflected the sight of Adgar raiding in the northern coalition in the valley, and she sighed slightly.
"Thank you, Mr. Brando."
"Although the Eruin people still inevitably kill each other, after losing half of the Black Blade Legion, the nobles in the north will reconsider their position. If the Flame Temple does not want Eruin to fall into a long civil war , Maybe it will turn to compromise with us."
"The kingdom must go through the throes of new life, but it is better than slow bloodletting, and Ampersel did everything in the first battle. Mr. Brando changed the future of Eruin alone, saving more Eruin from the war. , I thank you for this ancient kingdom."
She said these words with feelings. The crisis in Amperexel seemed dangerous, but it also contained opportunities. The royal party, the northern nobles, including herself, are all looking for the key to breaking the situation, but the northern nobles are taking the lead, and the addition of the Temple of Flame is even more unexpected for her and the royal party. Seeing that the situation is irreversible.
But at this moment, Brando changed the whole situation on his own.
She has seen many people, but the young man in front of her looks like an outlier. He has power and strength, but he can't see the sophistication and cunning that the royal nobles are used to. Even she herself inevitably bears such a mark-so she can treat herself or others as a political bargaining chip without changing her face.
But Brando didn't have it, just a short time together, she could understand this. She couldn't understand the free, unfettered yet firm temperament, which seemed ridiculously naive in the eyes of the nobles, but perhaps it was such a person who could change history.
Her Royal Highness looked a lot more relaxed.
But Brando shook her head, and had to beat her feeling a little better: "His Royal Highness, I'm afraid it's not that simple. You think of the Temple of Flames too simple."
He is not alarmist, but has witnessed the greed and arrogance of those guys. The Eruin lost their honor, so why not the descendants of the Flame King? It's just that the Cruz empire has a rich family background, and Eru is shaken by the wind and rain.
Princess Griffin frowned slightly: "Mr. Brando, are you saying that the Temple of Flame will tear up the sacred covenant and intervene in the civil war in Eruin? Isn't it... impossible?"
Indeed, this is something unprecedented in a thousand years.
But today is different.
Brando knew that the Great Demon Tide was just around the corner, and many prophecies had a few words about this huge change. The Temple of Flame has a long heritage, and it is impossible to be unprepared for it. In fact, the next holy war is just one link in a series of chain reactions brought about by this change.
The reason why the temple attaches so much importance to this holy war is precisely because of this. They would never compromise with the vassal country at this time, let alone the fragment of the Flame Blade still on his body.
Although the Flame Blade is not something obligatory, of course, it is exciting to be able to get the artifact, but there is more than one artifact in this world, and it is not worth losing your life.
But now he can't help but choose.
Because Otales had already told him that the thing had been bound to him. Simply put, unless he is killed, the Blade of Flame will belong to him.
It sounds wonderful, but in fact it is full of crises.
Brando glanced at the princess and nodded. Her Royal Highness does not know that history is at the most critical juncture of change, and the wrong judgment is excusable. Moreover, because the kingdoms of Eru have been under the rule of the temple for centuries, no one will dare to underestimate the majesty of the temple. .
Princess Griffin fell silent for a while, and she didn't know how she should resist if the temple intervened. Although there is still the Temple of the Queen of Winds—the wind elves of St. Osor will never take action as long as the Cruz people don’t try to annex Eruin.
She couldn't help biting her lip tightly, and before she knew it, bloodshots came out of her lower lip.
But Brando looked up.
The sky was overcast with clouds, and in the river valley below, Adgar was fighting hard with the northern coalition forces. But at this time, Brando felt an unusual breath in the sky.
A stone was dropped into the calm lake, rippling circles on the entire battlefield.
"Brando, that's a portal response." Otales' voice suddenly sounded in his heart.
"I know." Brando nodded.
He is so familiar. On the battlefield of Warend in the future, cluster teleportation is almost one of the most commonly used tactics. When a large-scale portal is opened, it is often the most shocking scene on the battlefield.
But this time the teleportation over the sky made Brando feel palpitations.
That's... the door of flames.
…
Above the sea outside Ampersel, there is already a world of water between heaven and earth at this moment.
A quiet fleet docked quietly over the sea off St. Baie Bay. The Royal Navy's non-commissioned officers aboard the flagship of the first-tier battleship "Victory" of the Royal Fleet in Eruin stood up in the heavy rain, as if waiting for inspection.
A clear call from the distant sky penetrated the rain curtain, and an Eruin Yalong vibrating wings emerged from the rain. It approached the fleet in an instant, and then landed on the deck of the Victory.
The flying dragon flapped its wings twice, and a person jumped from its back.
"Captain!" the non-commissioned officers immediately shouted in unison.
"Very well," Eruin Royal First Fleet Commander Count Yanilasu looked at his men and replied solemnly: "Bring my coat."
"captain?"
"Amperisel has entered a state of war. Her Royal Highness ordered that the First Fleet is ready to set off."
There was an excited cheer on the deck.
Count Yanilasu raised his head, the ship was already busy, the magical power core began to recharge and spin, and several wizards in silver robes also came to the magical rudder at the highest point of the Victory.
"Direction, Lord Earl." The first helmsman of the Victory, the silver-robed mage master'Silver Flame' David, raised his head and asked calmly after confirming that all the procedures of his apprentices were in place.
Count Yanilasu turned his head and looked under the rain.
"The anchor point coordinates: 128, 22, the whole fleet is in place, and the situation is level one. Start the secret anchor point in St. White Bay, plan the code name-the battle of St. White, listen to my orders, and prepare to jump."
