December twelfth. On the eve of the fateful river changing its course, it is still flowing calmly. In the southeastern part of Levin County, a cavalry force of more than 30,000 people is traveling between the fields and hills. The clouds were gathering and the wind was freezing. At the front of the queue, the Snorton Lion flag and the "Fire Pattern Hibiscus" military flag were flying in the air. No army dared to provoke the "Golden Althea" Knights on open terrain. What's more, in the forest of scattered flags, there are two particularly eye-catching flags, Nachini's royal flag, the "Thunder Lion", and Carter Roman's general flag, the "Blood Moon Scimitar." "With the lake and forest, this place is quite beautiful." King Nachini galloped up the grassy hill, feeling the strong wind blowing on his face, which made him feel very happy. Among the three counties in the north, the terrain of Levin County is mainly hilly, with many lakes and woodlands, and beautiful scenery. The only flaw is that after being ravaged by Snowton's Eastern Route Army and the Desert Cavalry, the entire county was sparsely populated, and the towns they passed along the way only had ruins left, occupied by crows and wild dogs. "Ten years ago, this was Ian's famous resort. Princes, nobles and high-ranking members of the Holy See all built manors here," Catroman took over. "But since the city of Elendil was occupied by the evil spirit, Levin The county is gradually declining. After all, not far away is the Fortress of Sorrow." He pointed to the north in the distance, and the clouds in that direction seemed particularly gloomy. "'Shield of Light' Elendil" King Nachni repeated and suddenly asked, "It was because of this city that Uncle Hansent was so upset that he suffered from injuries and illnesses on the way back home. He died, right?" Catroman's expression changed slightly, and he sighed after a long time, "Yes, at that time, the power of the Elendil family was growing, and there were actually three heroes in the Holy See who were expected to become legendary warriors. There was some suspicion After receiving the information from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the late king decided to use alienation tactics to eliminate this hidden danger outside the battlefield. However, Hansent believed that this was against martial arts, and his tone was quite harsh. When he couldn't get off the stage, he was temporarily relieved of his military duties and ordered to go home to reflect Unexpectedly, he suffered a recurrence of the arrow sores on the way, and when he heard the news about Elendil's destruction of the city, he felt depressed and couldn't bear to fall ill. "But in my memory, my uncle has always been open-minded, so he shouldn't be like this." King Nachini shook his head in confusion and looked at Catroman, as if he wanted to find out more about the inside story. "Actually, what Hansent objected to was not alienation," Carter Roman said in silence for a moment. He opened his mouth and replied, "It is an agreement reached privately between the late king and the former Archbishop Samuel." "What agreement?" King Nachini asked sideways. "The Holy See removed Elendil, the previous king passed to Prince Jonas, and the empire converted to the Lord of Light" Carter Roman's voice was very soft, with a hidden meaning, "And Hansent strongly advocated that the throne should be "Pass it to you." "Father, do you really want to pass the throne to your elder brother?" King Nachini raised his eyebrows and his eyes were bright. "Of course not." Catroman shook his head. "What the late king meant was a false promise. After the Holy See destroyed the city wall, he immediately sent troops south to wipe out the 'Holy Alliance' first, and then talk about other things." "The Holy See is not that easy to fool, right? King Nachini asked suspiciously. In an agreement like this, both parties will definitely make a strict contract. "The late king did not believe that God would really punish him after breaking his oath." Carter Roman replied. King Nachini touched the stubble on his chin, always feeling that something was wrong, but for a moment he had no clue. On a gentle hill, the cavalry dismounted. This was their campsite tonight. Next to it is a long and narrow lake, which is not only a sufficient source of clean water, but also prevents enemy sneak attacks, although this possibility is slim. "Uncle Wang, how much do you know about the Elendil Incident?" He always felt that what Carter Roman said was untrue. King Nachni specially invited "Golden Althea" to lead Agassiz and asked again. . Agassi did not hide anything, but his answer was not much different from Catroman. Finally, he added, "Also, before the incident, all four knights arrived at Iron Wall Pass and prepared to go south. Fighting, but unfortunately after the massacre, the city of Elendil was occupied by resentful spirits. Several vanguard troops tried to go around the city, but they were all lost in the pervasive miasma, and no one survived" "I always feel that this time Behind the incident, there is another force secretly at work," King Nachini pondered for a moment, then asked, "What then?" "After many attempts, the army was defeated, and the late king had to give up his plan to go south," Agassi said. He replied cautiously, "I remember that it was from then on that the late king lamented several times and regretted the agreement he had made." King Nachini thought about it and found that it was indeed from that timeFrom that time on, my father began to vigorously cultivate himself and showed his willingness to change his successor. "If we can open up the Elendil Corridor again," King Nakini stopped thinking about it. He stopped and looked up at the northern sky, "then we will have another layer of protection." "Your Majesty, you still don't want to Don't worry, is the 'Lightstalker's Road' safe?" Agassiz explained, "With Count Violet guarding it, the king doesn't have to worry about it." "Since the war started, 'Golden Hibiscus' has made many military exploits," said King Nachini. Walking around the lake, he ordered, "You select a group of middle- and lower-level officers who have made meritorious service. I will use them as the backbone to form a guard army to station in the Hersius Valley all year round." "Yes, King. "Enter." Agassi took the order and left. As the "golden flower" of the royal family's private army, his loyalty is absolutely trustworthy. "Bring the wine." Catroman walked into the commander's tent, casually took off his long knife and threw it on the unrolled quilt. "General, the food is not ready yet" The soldier bowed and approached, saying in embarrassment. "Wine." Obviously, Carter Roman was in a bad mood. He sat behind the case and only said one word. "Yes, sir." Seeing his expression, the soldier was startled, and hurriedly turned around and left the tent, quickly carrying back a large barrel of wine. "Get out." Catroman ordered him to put the barrel down, and then waved his hand to repel him. . He was the only one left in the waiting room. Catroman opened the oak barrel with one palm and poured himself a drink. In the blink of an eye, he drank three or five cups. A blush suddenly appeared on his slightly pale face. "Here's to you." The drunk Catroman spilled the wine in his glass in front of the case, as if his former friend was still sitting there. It was only once, because when Hanssen left Beijing on horseback. The friendship between the two came to an end. In other words, earlier, when Catroman presented the private words between the two of them to the old Lion King. He had turned his back on his friends. "How can you be friends with the enemy coach?" Catroman murmured to himself. He could imagine how regretful and angry Hansent would be when he learned that Elendil was slaughtered all over the city. Because of that plan. He came up with it. That year, two old friends were drinking to the moon on the iron wall. One of them, looking at the "Shield of Light" opposite, half drunk and half joking, proposed a vicious plan to destroy the city. The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Soon, the old lion king became obsessed with the southern expedition. At the imperial military meeting, it was decided to adopt a divorce plan. Even now, Catroman still remembers how Hansent looked at him in astonishment, as if fire was about to burst out of his eyes. But my old friend, you are content with the status quo because of your sympathy with Ellen. However, there are many young and strong generals in the emperor who dream of going south to fight and achieve unparalleled achievements. And Cat Roman is among these war madmen. The craziest one. "Now, under my feet is the land of the Holy See of Light," Catroman drank the remaining wine in the glass. Throwing the cup aside, he straightened his upper body, stared at the air in front of him, and said softly, "In the future, one day. I will travel all over the north and south of the continent" "At that time, you will understand that I am the one who Correct." The Holy White Tower. "It's going to snow." Inedil was lying on the railing, his face full of longing, like an innocent child, waiting for the heavy snow to fall, and then he could build a snowman and have a snowball fight. "Tomorrow at noon, the 'Foundation of Heaven' formation will be officially launched," the Pale Lord asked slowly, "Will there be any problems?" "No," Inedil's voice was as cold as ice, " During the exercise, those who caused problems have been beheaded." "Very good," the Pale Lord praised, "Now you are a qualified king." "I am the fifth in the Holy See. The sixteenth Archbishop" Inedil seemed to be reminding himself not to forget his original identity. "It is also the last one," the Pale Lord took over, his tone full of temptation, "After the Kingdom of Heaven comes, you will be the only king between heaven and earth. Hundreds of legendary strong men will gather under your command. In front of them, Whether it is the Lion King in the north or the eldest princess in the south, they will all kneel down and surrender A bright empire spanning the north and south will be built in your hands, and the name of the King of Light Inedil will appear in It appears in the books of the Holy See, the history of the Empire of Light, and the records of all human history books. ""Is it?" Inedil looked at him blankly, like a child, waiting eagerly. , the candy promised by the Pale Lord. "Believe me, believe you." The evil god in charge of "hypocrisy" and "deception" said with a smile. Meet InedilNodding understandingly, the Pale Lord urged gently, "Child, it's time to rest. In order for the kingdom of heaven to come, you must be energetic." Inedil lay on the jade couch and fell into a deep sleep. He should Have a nice dream, because maybe there will be few opportunities like this in the future. Herseus Valley. "It's going to snow." Aphra said happily. Every child will look forward to the arrival of snowy days. "Yes." Nada, who was lying next to him, echoed. Half of his hair has turned red, looking like an unburned flame or a volcano about to erupt. "Have the last batch of magic array disks not been shipped to the front line yet?" Allegri asked casually at the tea table by the fireplace. He only learned this information when Brooke accidentally mentioned it in the morning. "Send it to where?" Onissa asked, "City of Severa or City of Ljajic?" "That's right." Allegri nodded, not noticing the fallacy. The news that Snowton's cavalry was attacking Lyaichi had just come, and these magic array disks had been detained in the river valley for some time. "Wait until the next batch of formation disks is completed, and then send them to Severa together," Onissa thought for a moment and suggested, "If you have time tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, activate the newly made formation disks, otherwise it will be too late." A few days later, the king returned to hold a celebration banquet, and you had no time to leave." "No problem," Allegri asked, "How many unactivated formation disks are there?" "Fifty or sixty," Ao. Nesa replied, changing the subject, "There is one more thing that requires your approval." "What is it?" Allegri lazily leaned on the soft chair and reached out to control the flames in the fireplace. "The construction of the part of the castle connected to the Violet Tower has already started," Onissa smiled. "Brooke said that the rooms inside the castle can be heated through the magic tower's 'energy furnace'. Can you modify the method? The array circuit is also convenient for construction. " "It's very simple, but during the renovation, most of the functions of the magic tower cannot be activated," Allegri frowned slightly, but seeing Onisa's expectant expression, he still agreed. "Okay, it will take about three days to modify the drawings and prepare materials. After that, I will put the magic tower into temporary hibernation to complete the transformation of the heating system." "That way, our children don't have to worry about freezing. ." Onissa lowered her head, with a hint of blush on her cheeks. "Yesyes" Allegri nodded repeatedly. At this time, if Onisa asked him for anything, he would agree without hesitation. "Teacher," Aphra slid down the window sill and came over, "Is there a room for me in the castle?" "Of course," Allegri said with a smile, "After the construction is completed, you can choose whatever you want." Nada Standing timidly by the window, the time was still short, and he had not yet been able to integrate into this atmosphere, but the envy in his eyes still revealed the young man's inner thoughts. "Nada, come here." Allegri looked at him and waved. "My lord." The young man took a few steps closer and bowed. "Sit down," Allegri looked at him and said warmly, "After your physique strengthens, you should be able to train in martial arts, but due to your innate deficiencies, your future achievements will not be very high." Nada nodded sadly, he Also know this. "In addition, you have magic talent, but the same problem is that the upper limit is too low," Allegri paused and continued, "But it just so happens that I have a magic warrior training method here, which I personally created, and you can The situation is quite suitable. I wonder if you are interested? " (To be continued.) ps: (Updated.)
