"In fact, what we have guarded for generations is actually this holy sword." Delfiri patted the wooden box lightly: "Its name is Misol, and it is a holy sword of the light system.
It was once the most precious treasure of Faenzan, but for some reason it ended up in the hands of the Lord of Fire, Gilt, and then my family brought it to this land incognito."
Bresson and Manrique seemed to have heard some fantasy, and they both had a look of astonishment on their faces.
"But why does the King of Flame go through so much trouble to do these things?" The young captain couldn't help but ask: "This is not in line with common sense!"
Delphiri shook his head: "I don't understand either, but this is a legend passed down from generation to generation in my family, and the Holy Sword does exist here. Originally I shouldn't know this, but after my father was framed and imprisoned by my uncle,
He quietly told me all this before, and I understood what he meant, he entrusted Yanbao's future to me."
"So, Baron Dalle has been questioning your father about the whereabouts of this holy sword, and your father has never let go, so that's why he was not killed?"
Delphire nodded.
"But what does it mean to Eruin? What does the Lionheart Holy Sword mean to it?" Manrique still found it difficult to accept that the holy sword in the Valkyrie's hand was actually a fake. Except for the lord,
, that is the person he admires the most: "Have the Lion Heart Swords mastered by the Sifah royal family and the Corcova royal family been fake all along?"
"No, the Lion Heart Sword is real. Although it is made of imitation of Guangyao, it contains the soul of the Holy Sword Odysseus and carries the belief of the late Lord Ek. The oath on the sword will always be
Binding Eruin, it symbolizes the soul of this country."
"So, what does this holy sword mean?"
"I think there is someone who might understand all this," Delphire thought of something, and she said softly: "My uncle's intentions are not trivial. The more I suspect that this is a conspiracy, maybe the Holy Sword will continue to stay in Yanbao today.
It is no longer safe. So I hope you can take it south to a safer place."
"You mean, Brando?" Brayson asked.
"Mr. Count once resonated with the Holy Sword Odysseus in Rushta. I think he must know something about the secret behind the Holy Sword of Flame and the Holy Sword of Light." Delphiri replied.
Brayson and Manrique looked at each other.
"What about you, Miss Delfry?"
"Of course I will stay here. My father has not recovered yet. After a while, I will go to the peace conference in Ampelser. By then, if Mr. Brando has returned to Eruin, I will
Tell him all this in person."
Manrique shook his head: "It's not safe here, Miss Delphire. We didn't catch Baron Dale, and he may still be hiding in the dark. If we leave, it will be difficult to guarantee the safety of you and the Earl."
"Maybe," Brasen thought for a moment and said, "The revitalization of Yan Castle is not something that happens in a day. Maybe we can divide our forces into two groups. I will escort Miss Deerferry to Balta, where the royal family has its territory.
, you can go there as guests. And this holy sword will be escorted to the south by Mr. Manrique. Compared to our respective locations, he is more suitable for this task."
"That's not bad." Manrique also agreed with this suggestion.
Delphiri hesitated slightly. She finally returned to her homeland and regained this land. She was not willing to leave it immediately. But she also understood that what Manrique and Brayson said made sense.
.Now she has no soldiers, and the old and weak servants in the castle are not enough to protect her and her father.
She was about to nod, but at this moment there was a knock on the door. The voice of her knight captain Luo Ning came from outside: "We may not even be able to go there, miss."
"What happened?" Brayson frowned.
"Nia was attacked just now when she was patrolling outside. An army suddenly surrounded Yanbao."
"This is impossible," Brayson said angrily: "Where are my subordinates? Aren't they stationed outside the city?"
"The camp outside the city has been attacked, sir," Luo Ning replied calmly: "I have ordered my subordinates to open the city gate and let your men enter the castle. There are many enemies outside... some are very strange.
enemy."
"strangeness?"
"How is Nia?" Delphiri asked nervously: "Is anyone injured?"
"A lot of people were injured, but Nia is not seriously injured," Ronin's voice paused: "Mr. Brayson, do you want to go up to the city wall and take a look?"
The three people in the secret room looked at each other.
"This is natural." Brayson pulled out his sword and replied in a deep voice.
The town of Capello has always been the only way from Corcova to the count of Yanburg. In peacetime, Yanburg was one of the two important entrances to the east and west of the empire; therefore, it served as a link between the center and the border of the empire.
At the thoroughfare of the region, Capello was once an important town with prosperous commerce and dense population. However, since the Frost Rebellion, the empire's ruling center has increasingly moved to West Fah and Ampelsel, and Capello's status has gradually been lost.
It was replaced by the Earldom of Gray Mountain further south and began to decline from prosperity.
Since the Yanbao Rebellion began four years ago, the new rulers of Yanbao have exploited the business travelers in the past. As a result, the commercial activities on this road have become more and more dwindling. To this day, it has become a trade distribution center.
, it has become a deserted and desolate town.
However, the town itself still retains its former size, and the fortress built to protect commercial activities still stands in the mountain pass to the north of Gray Mountain. This is the territory of the Corcova royal family, so knights regularly patrolled here.
.
But today there is something special.
The knight who should have returned at this moment has disappeared. The war horse that lost its owner is wandering in the mountain pass. The shirt with the royal emblem of stars, moon, silver and lily is scattered in pieces among the gravel. Broken armor, broken pieces.
The sword, the cold corpse and the blood flowing in the valley seemed to tell the story of a tragic battle.
A silent army was marching forward along the valley. The dense flow of people seemed to occupy the entire field of vision from far to near. Occasionally, a few Corcovado gray wolves passed through the gravel in the valley.
Watching this endless march with cold eyes.
On Capello's sentry tower, Sentinel Vilian was finally pushed awake by his companions. The biting chill of the morning made him shrink his neck involuntarily.
"Is it time to change the shift?" he asked in a mumble.
But before he finished speaking, his companion covered his mouth.
"Woo..." Wei Lian smelled a disgusting stench, which almost made him roll his eyes: "Damn... what are you doing? Did you just poop?"
"Shut up, Wei Lian, you don't want to live anymore?" The horrified look in his companion's eyes finally made him calm down, and he pointed outwards with gesticulating gestures and said, "Look outside!"
"Outside?"
"In the valley, damn it!"
"What is that?" Wei Lian finally pushed his companions away and climbed onto the crenel. He suddenly took a breath of air: "Where did that army come from? Is it the army a while ago? They came back from Yanbao.
?”
"Those are the White Lions, but these are different. Look at their flags. Their flags are different!"
Wei Lian squinted his eyes and tried to distinguish the dark flags. He compared the few flags in his limited memory, but none of them matched the flags.
There was a roar in his mind, and an idea suddenly flashed across his mind that made him almost tremble.
"Quick...quick..." He trembled and said to his companions: "It's not our people, it's Yanbao. It must be Yanbao who rebelled!"
"what should we do?"
"Go and sound the alarm, you damn idiot!"
When the jingling alarm bells reverberated over the entire Capello sky, in the late winter of this year in Eruin, the shrill bells that echoed from Capello finally spread to the people from Balta to Sifah.
between mountains.
…
Levinson sat in the carriage, looking gently at a lighthouse in the distance, and the blue surface of the shining sea, sparkling and twinkling in the sun, was the last lighthouse on Cape Ampelser.
The lighthouse marks the end of Eruin's southern boundary. Further north, beyond Pelican Castle, is the land of Sifah.
The eldest son Wang's light blue eyes were unblinking, as if he could really see all this, but the holes in the blue-grey pupils blocked all the beautiful scenery between heaven and earth.
He was not at peace in his heart. During this trip to the south, he sent away his most beloved sister, but he achieved the result he wanted most. For the first time, Eruin's future seemed so real and within reach.
, so close before our eyes, it seems that everything is unfolding for the best. The continuous turmoil in the kingdom since the Frost Rebellion seems to be coming to an end at the end of this year.
Although the nobles whose interests have been harmed will more or less rebound, most people have already sided with the royal family. Everyone seems to have had enough of the long-term division and war. People are beginning to feel tired. They finally
Let go of the baggage of the past and start taking steps forward again.
Ever since the defeat of Duke Anlek in the battle of Ampelsel, Eruin has shown such signs, and he just made it come earlier.
"Adesha." Levin suddenly said softly: "If my ideal comes true, what about yours?"
"My dream is to be with His Highness forever and to be His Highness's eyes."
"You always say what I like, but I want to hear what's in your heart."
"This is all true, Your Highness," the maid replied softly: "Because I am the only one who understands the ideal in Your Highness' heart. It is so tall and glorious, and I am willing to keep every detail of it in my heart and tell the people who come after me."
"But if there really is a dream," her voice became a little hopeful: "I do have such an ideal, Your Highness."
"oh?"
"I hope that one day, His Highness can regain the light and see with his own eyes all that you have achieved, the smiles on people's faces, and the future of this kingdom."
