Antitina and Charles didn't speak for a long time. ▲∴▲∴,
Only the core personnel around Brando understand what the next war means. Tony Geer has been preparing for it for too long, but it still seems so hasty.
Many people once thought that the war between Madara and Eruin might take a long time to come, and Bromando's Black Rose would not be able to provoke the bottom line of the human world again and again, but what is the reality?
Facts once again proved that the Lord was right.
Now that the voices of doubt from the outside world have been silenced, Tonigel must do his best for this war. In the past three years, there has been something new on this land, and only a few people can understand it.
Valhalla's silver fleet is only part of its power.
After a while, Charles spoke again: "By the way, I heard that Levin Onneson Sifah's sister also went south with their expeditionary force."
"Is this Miss Chiara?"
He nodded: "Would it be troublesome?"
Antitina shook her head slightly.
"The hatred between the Sifah family and the Corcova family has become the key to Eruin's future in this era. The eldest son of the king is a very knowledgeable person. I understand his thoughts. Her Royal Highness and I will handle this matter.
It’s nothing, don’t worry.”
"Then I'll feel relieved."
…
The wind on the hills in the misty hills has calmed down. It is the trade wind called Tirnope. It blows from the Sea of Darkness, passes through the Lantoniland Passage, and after crossing the wide Lake Valentin, arrives
There is only a weak portion of the southern foothills of the Dwarf Ring Mountains, which usually bring rain from the ocean winds, but before the last season of the Year of the Sword arrives, the north of Magitan remains dry and rainless.
The sun was very bright, passing through the leaves and falling on the girl's solemn face.
The girl silently put down the brass telescope in her hand. The childishness of her youthful age had completely faded away from her face, and now only a trace of the country girl who belonged to Butchi could be found in the deepest part of her face, those flaxen eyes.
"There are traces of undead activities east of Majitan, but they are not large in scale. They should be their vanguard, blocking the exits of Chablis and the Sapphire Mountains, Your Excellency the Knight."
Behind her, a cuirassier was reporting, "But we can't confirm the situation in the direction of Fort Kurk. The undead have blocked the maple forest walkway. The cavalry can't pass anywhere, so it's impossible to determine where Viero's army is now.
What location, or if it still exists."
Freya stretched her hands behind her head, straightened her long ponytail, then turned around and stared at the tactical map spread out on the ground.
Not far away, the knight captains of the Royal Knights of Eruin were gathered in a circle. After listening to the report of the scout knights, they immediately turned their attention to the tactical map and began to draw.
The undead are stationed in Katuo Village and east of the Magitan River Beach. They are composed of two brigade of troops. They are commanded by high-level corpse witches, and there should be at least one necromancer.
The army of the undead usually moves around in the southern area of Magitan after dark, and recruits a steady stream of troops from the cemetery and the wild. Now the scale has expanded several times for low-level skeleton soldiers alone.
Although these weak skeletons were vulnerable to heavy cavalry, they were still a problem after their number increased several times.
Not to mention that there is a small group of black knights among these two large groups of undead.
"Is there an air force?" Among these knights, Caglis Haberto raised his head and asked.
"There are bone vultures, and there should be ghosts in the forest, but we can't get too close to Kato Village. It is rumored that there are several bone dragons stationed there, but we have not observed them."
"Rumors are unreliable," a knight replied.
"But no matter what, we have to seize this defense line and open up the road to Qianshui Town." As the commander of this army, Caglis waved his hand and replied decisively.
Just like the calm expressions on the faces of other Royal Knights of Eruin, he was not nervous at all when he was fighting the undead for the first time. On the contrary, he was a little excited.
As a natural soldier, he missed the first Black Rose War and the Silman War. Although he participated in the Battle of Ampelsel, it was only the Eruin Civil War. The honor of a knight should be in foreign wars.
Seize, obtain from a former opponent.
Fortunately, he will not miss this time. Now the north and south of the kingdom are gradually leaning toward peace. After Her Royal Highness the Princess and the eldest son of the king reach an agreement, Eruin will do his best to fight against Bromando's Black Rose.
According to Caglis, this is a national war.
And they, as the ones who kicked off this war, will forever have their names engraved on the monument of the kingdom's history.
He clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention: "Listen up, everyone, now we must first reach an agreement. We came to this place through the Dwarf Ring Mountains. Obviously we are not here to enjoy the natural scenery of the misty hills.
It’s really beautiful though.”
The knights let out a low laugh.
"We are here for only one goal, which is victory. No matter where the enemy is or how many there are, we have only one belief, which is also victory."
Caglis's eyes swept over everyone present, and finally landed on Freya.
"Do you have any objections to this?"
"Of course not."
"Of course."
"Stop talking nonsense, Caglis, just say what you want to say."
The knights answered all at once.
"Muke?"
"Don't talk nonsense, Caglis, you know who I am." The highest commander of the Royal Knights, the senior knight captain of the Royal Knights, Baron Dussard Muke didn't even look at this guy, he looked cold.
He replied coldly.
"Okay," Caglis said, still looking at Freya: "Then we will at least make it clear, Miss Freya, if the undead have bone dragons."
"They won't exist."
"Very good, then I'll leave it all to you, our Valkyrie Miss Ampelsel," Caglis said as he drew his sword.
Muke glanced here and silently drew his sword.
The royal knights drew their swords.
Freya also pulled out her own sword and placed the shining blade on everyone's swords, intersecting each other.
"May you live forever"
"May the black pine evergreen"
"May your sword always shine"
"Long live Eruin!"
"Long live the King!"
A quarter of an hour later, a dozen pegasus with four hooves burning with blazing flames soared from the forest, led by a knight riding a snow-white wind-controlling horse, and flew towards the south of Magitan.
Freya sat firmly on the saddle of Gudian, holding a spear and saying nothing.
The strong wind blew the hair on her forehead, where the silver mark of the Valkyrie faintly flashed.
"Success!"
"My dear Martha, you allowed us to witness this scene!"
In Valhalla, in the Valulun Warrior Hall, the cloud giant craftsmen suddenly burst into cheers. They are the people of wind and lightning, the most unrestrained people. Someone in the crowd immediately picked up a wooden barrel and drank from the sea.
, amidst the joyful noise, the sound of laughter came from time to time.
The goblin lady Tanya frowned tightly as she watched this scene. Unlike goblins like Feas, as allies of the Bugans, the light goblins have always been elegant and self-disciplined, and it was really unbearable for these dancing giants.
But she didn't say much, because this moment was indeed a moment worthy of celebration for these people of wind and electricity.
Someone among the giants shouted: "Go and tell the lord, quickly, go and tell the lord the good news!"
"No. Moos, you idiot, the lord is not here, go and inform Miss Antitina!"
"Yes, and Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"Ms. Brünnhilde, don't forget, she and her sisters are back too!"
The strange cries of the giants immediately echoed through the hall.
Babu, the leader of the cloud giant craftsmen, came to the elf lady with an apologetic smile and bowed slightly to the latter. Although it was a bit funny to bow to a light spot floating in the air with its huge body.
"I'm sorry. Ms. Tanya, my people are too excited. After all, after more than ten thousand years, we can finally recreate the glory of the Cloud Temple again."
"I can understand."
"This is all thanks to your generous provision of the gold in the river and the wind horse."
"They are not generous at all. Before the Gray and White War, they were called the 'damned stingy wizards' for a reason. If not for completing the deal with your lord, of course, in fact, it was because of the fall of Onaiqi.
For some reasons, they wanted to default on the debt several times, but unfortunately Sir William did not allow it."
The goblin lady didn't seem to have any intention of covering up for her people or allies. She looked at Babu and replied in a teasing tone.
"Well, that's really bad."
But Tanya looked at the steps outside the hall that looked like stairs made of silver. Hundreds of steps went straight up to the clouds, like the legendary kingdom of silver in myths.
And that is indeed the country of silver.
"Behind that door is the hometown of the Silver Clan, right?"
"Yes."
"It's a pity that we can never go back..."
…
Time is passing minute by minute. It has been seven hours since the sun rose from the law of tiamat in the order built by the seventh stone slab in the Tonigel region after the eternal darkness.
It was already after lunch, but there was still deathly silence in the hut of master alchemist Tamar.
There are only occasional tiny sounds left between the collision of operating tools and objects.
Near morning, the apprentices replaced a batch of candles, but a few hours later they burned out completely again, and the alchemy apprentices in coarse robes had to light a batch of suet candles again.
Then carefully place them on the candlestick, trying not to make the slightest sound.
But at this moment, Tamar suddenly raised his head and disassembled a crystal on the workbench with a 'snap' sound. This sudden noise shocked everyone.
Everyone looked here in unison.
Tamar silently handed the crystal in his hand to the apprentice beside him, and at the same time, his only son. The latter took the crystal with some caution and asked:
"Done, Father?"
Tamar nodded.
"Go and ask Miss Antitina to come over."
"Go and tell her that I have fulfilled my duty. As the lord said, a new era has come."
After a moment of silence.
Suddenly a burst of earth-shattering cheers erupted in the room.
On this day, one and a half months after the Second Black Rose War began, and three weeks before the Harvest Festival.
