The Amber Sword

Chapter 590: Requiem (2)

Views:

The demons seemed to have discovered the actions of humans in advance, and countless harpies flew into the sky in the starless night. The flagship Victory of the Eruin Royal Fleet opened the prelude to the war with its bombardment, a test shot, and the flash exploded in the harpy. The crossbowmen on the side of the ship saw that the layers of wings almost obscured the strong light from the explosion, and the cannonball was like a stone thrown into the sea.

Uncountable enemies.

The wizard observed the effect of the shelling through the porthole of the gun door, and his face was pale by the light of the explosion. He removed the paper filled with forms from the side, and recorded the charge and the amount of magic power injected on it. The herald took the form from him and gave the order.

After a while, the entire fleet roared, and countless shells roared towards the airtight harpy group. A flash of exploding light blossomed between these monsters, and the shock wave of the explosion almost formed a wave of blood, pushing countless feathers and stumps forward, and the mutilated corpses fell like rain.

The roar in the rainy night awakened the dormant earth, and the roar of the rumbling sound resembled the recovery of the forest from Bunoan to the Silver Sheath Cliff. The blood imaginary under the surface was flowing in huge blood vessels. Rolling and roaring, every soldier felt the ground under his feet shuddering slightly, like a living creature. The flash of explosion above the head illuminates the sky and the earth. At a glance, you can see the panoramic view of the bumpy battlefield near the Acropolis of Bunoan. A flag is raised on the edge of the battlefield, and then a human army is supported. Appeared in the field of vision.

The human coalition began to attack.

The goal of the Eruin and Cruz was to capture several villages near the Acropolis of Bunoan, in order to attract the demon to put more troops on the frontal battlefield; but the fireball of the demon warlock on the head of the Acropolis of Bunoan gave The entire battlefield brought great trouble, and the progress of the battle was slower than expected.

Freya, her non-commissioned officers and Lantonilan knights were advancing briskly along a forest in the middle of the battlefield, and they soon arrived near the Acropolis of Bunoan. Their goal was to seize this castle. Freya immediately ordered an attack after observing the terrain. Hundreds of Lantonilan knights immediately attacked a breach in the collapsed wall of the castle.

The little demons in the gap are not their opponents. These thin and inferior demons are notoriously timid and timid in the River of Sulphur. They have neither magic skills nor fighting skills. The upper demons do not even admit that they are demons. They can be exchanged as food or even currency. After being killed by a few of his companions, these seemingly cruel and terrifying monsters showed their instincts and scattered, and the knights quickly slew on the head of the city. The young girl from the Buche countryside took the lead, and was delighted to see that her own offensive was progressing rapidly. At this rate, it would take less than a quarter of an hour to take the Acropolis of Buenoan.

But at this time, a demon warlock appeared at the top of the gap-unlike human wizards who wore robes, these demon warlocks had muscle knots, huge horns on their heads, and no decorations like lower demons. . They held a flaming fireball in their hands, and when they dropped it, they exploded among the knights rushing forward.

The air wave from the explosion blew the knights of Lantonilan to their knees, and a splashing stone even pierced Freya's face, making the girl's face immediately bloody. However, she ignored the hot pain and immediately shouted: "Everyone, follow me, rush up in a rush, don't give it a chance to cast the spell again!"

After finishing speaking, Yima took the lead and rushed up to the gap on the gravel. The two little demons summoned by the Demon Warlock pounced on her from left to right, but Freya raised her shield and blocked them and threw them back to the city. Her heroic behavior greatly encouraged Lan. The morale of the Tonylan knights, the knights shouted the name of the female knight to kill the city.

But Freya also attracted the high attention of the demon warlocks, and soon more little demons surrounded her, forcing her to slow down. The surrounding knights quickly passed her, and they rushed to the top of the city, but a huge figure appeared on the top of the city.

That is a tauren.

As the monster from Qiao Gendigang appeared without warning, it was obviously ambushing behind the city wall from the beginning, waiting for the human knight to throw himself into the net. This monster is at least three people tall, holding a giant axe larger than its own, standing there like a giant windmill, and it also swept the giant axe in its hand forward like a fan of a windmill, and charged. The Lantonilan knight at the forefront uttered a scream and was chopped at the waist.

The tauren roared and rushed down a collapsed city wall, sweeping down the city regardless of whether it was humans or demons standing in front. The human knight was not its opponent at all, the monster quickly came to Freya, raised his axe and swept it roughly.

"Be careful, Freya!"

Freya even heard the reminder from Beth behind her. At that moment, she was very nervous. She had never seen such a huge monster except for the terrifying wind element in Margao. But the feeling of looking at it from a distance is different from the feeling of close hand-to-hand combat. The black and heavy axe face has brought tremendous psychological pressure to her.

If it's cut, it's dead.

No, you must not die here. Brando is still in front and must help him capture this place. Only in this way will the demons shift their attention to the front battlefield.

Everything learned in the Royal Knights Academy seemed to become clear at once. At the last moment, her heart was calm, as if there was some special power flowing in her body—this feeling was the same as the moment when she got the Lionheart Sword. Exactly the same.

The tauren's great axe was coming in an instant, and Freya lowered her head as if she was a blessed soul to dodge the attack, and at the same time leaped forward.

The tauren didn't have time to see clearly, so he swung the axe to the highest point. Freya let go of her hand and jumped up and landed on its huge axe face-the axe face was almost a meter wide, which was enough for her to stand on. Then she took advantage of the strength to jump again and landed firmly on the back of the tauren's neck.

This series of actions was only completed in an instant, and everyone had not had time to react, but the tauren finally realized that the prey in front of him no longer knew how to come to his back. It let out an angry moo, and reached out to grab Freya behind it.

But Freya dodges a hand the size of a monster's straw mat, and at the same time she gritted her teeth and held up the lion heart sword. At that moment, a bright light radiated from the sword, as bright as it was. A beam of icy blue flames illuminates the entire Acropolis of Bruno, and also illuminates the bright eyes of this country girl from Buche.

Just like a reappearance of the scene of the day, a pair of silver wings of light stretched out from behind Freya, and the war pattern of the Valkyrie reappeared; the female knight clamped the tauren’s neck with her legs, and her hands clasped the sword along the monster. The spine is inserted downward.

With a flutter, the shining lion heart sword was inserted into the tauren's neck like cutting tofu.

The tauren suddenly raised his voice and let out a wailing, as if going mad, he threw down his giant axe and slapped himself on the neck. This time Freya couldn't hide it. She heard a sharp pain from behind, and her internal organs almost moved. The girl's eyes were dark, and her body fell back subconsciously, but her hands were still Grabbing the hilt of the Lionheart Sword and dragging the sword out of the field, the black plasma on the tauren suddenly gushed out.

Freya coughed a mouthful of blood, then raised a long sword and thrust it into the back of the tauren's head. This time the monster finally couldn't bear such a severe injury, and suddenly fell forward and fell on the collapsed city wall with a crash.

Everyone was shocked.

"Freya!" Beth, who went with Freya, went crazy and ran towards the tauren's body. The non-commissioned officers and students of the Wangli Knight Academy had a relationship of comrades-in-arms with each other, plus she and Fu Leia is one of the few women, and her relationship is better.

But at this time, the mind of the young girl from the Buche countryside was dizzy, but she only thought about one thing.

Can't stop yet.

She had already learned everything from Charles, Brando was not yet ahead, she knew what he was going to do, and she also knew what she was going to do.

She would never be Freya who was the captain of that useless Butcher's militia anymore.

She wants to change Buche and change the fate of everyone.

Brando can help her.

But she is no longer the ignorant country girl, she has learned a lot. She even vaguely felt that she might have seen everything Brando had seen, which was exactly what the princess was looking for. Not only an ideal, but also a beautiful vision.

When will Eruin get rid of his established fate? Beth said that the tragedy of Buche will not repeat itself until the kingdom becomes more powerful. But Brando told her that it was not just the task of the nobles. Her Royal Highness told her that everyone must use their own sword to defend their dignity.

"Freya!" Beth came to the girl and helped her up.

When Lantonilan's knights saw the bloody female knight, they couldn't help but let out a cheer. Freya gritted her teeth and raised the Lionheart Sword in her hands high.

The dazzling blade of the sword is more like a flag, and this flag is in front of everyone's eyes. It was the Lionheart Sword, a banner of victory, as if it symbolized Eruin's uprightness and indomitableness.

"Freya!"

"Freya! Freya!" Everyone's heart was full of enthusiasm, and the knights shouted the names of their temporary commanders and launched an attack on the city wall.

No more minotaurs appeared on the city, high-level creatures like this, even the army of demons could not use them as consumables. After all, this is no longer the battlefield of the battle of the saints thousands of years ago.

Freya watched the torrent of black and red pouring into the Acropolis of Bruno, but her heart was calm.

"Beth, help me up."

"What? You are hurt like this." The short-haired girl complained: "I promised the commander to take care of you. Now my precious magic longbow can't be kept."

Freya couldn't help coughing and laughing. She knew Brando would never care about her for this reason. She felt a terrible pain, but she had never been so relaxed for a moment. Something in her heart was far away from her, but she became more mature.

"I seem to understand something suddenly, Beth."

"What do you understand?"

In another time and space, Eruin's future Valkyrie smiled slightly. At that moment, she finally understood that it turned out that those words were not for her, but Brando was asking and answering himself.

'War will always happen, we only have to choose to accept. '

'We were born in a very bad era, and we cannot choose our era. But we can try to change it,'

'Maybe nothing can be changed, but at least we have worked with many people to achieve it-such a memory is already precious. '

'Do you know the word companion? No matter how far you go, there are many people to accompany you. You will never be alone. '

She, he, everyone will advance with Eruin.

Forever.

As the situation on the battlefield changed, the demons finally began to notice that the frontal offensive of humans was so ferocious that they were beyond their expectations. Although losing the Acropolis of Bruno is not a big deal, it at least shows that the weak opponent on the opposite side still has room for counterattack.

They began to throw Qiao Gendigang's army into the frontal battlefield, trying to completely crush the last hope of these poor creatures in one fell swoop.

In the mountains and forests near Ampersel, the knights looked up at the sparkle like fireworks in the sky, but they were speechless in their hearts. The group understood what it was, the flash lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and the old witch Barbasha finally brought her companion back.

Just as Brando expected, those witches living in seclusion all over Eruin, most of whom are in the same strength as Barbasa, seem to be led by Barbasa.

They all expressed their loyalty to Brando, and even took an oath, of course, avoiding the attention of others.

Time is running out, Brando has no time to appease these new subordinates. Under his order, everyone packs up and heads north. The knights had to rain through the forest in the dark, and sometimes they even had to wade through one or two high-water mountain streams. Fortunately, except for the princess, most of the entourages had the strength above silver and were bad. At best, the weather can only cause them a little trouble.

They bypassed a few low mountains, traveled north for more than 20 minutes, and quickly arrived at that location. The secret gate is located in a valley, surrounded by twelve hazelnut trees, just as Brando remembered. But when they walked out of the woodland, they saw a clearing with neither a door nor anything that could be called man-made.

Everyone stopped and couldn't help but cast doubtful eyes on Brando.

Brando didn't speak, knowing what was going on in his heart. But he was already quite cautious, and Barbasha who was waiting aside explained: "Here is an illusion that only a witch can solve."

Sure enough.
