~.< Shuhai Pavilion >-~The pillars of light reflected each other in the rain. From a distance, it seemed as if the rain threads passing through it had turned into pure gold.
Everyone raised their heads, a crack opened in the dark clouds without a trace of sunlight, and pure white light descended from behind the clouds like wings, gently protecting the people's crowns.
Beams of light pierced the clouds and fell over the port.
Laird Dulotshe stood in front of the window lattice. The old soldier seemed to be pouring all his life's strength into this posture, standing upright.
Only his hands were clenched into fists.
The ancient king walked on the top of the clouds and watched silently, but future generations could only be speechless. Do the nobles of Eruin still remember the oath engraved on the long sword?
They couldn't answer.
"Sir Knight." Marquis Balta was restless. He also felt the excitement in his heart, but what he was more afraid of was that the old knight suddenly changed his mind. Although he was already the commander of the White Lion Army, who was talking about it?
The one who has more prestige in the military and can respond to a hundred calls must be this old imperial lion.
The old man turned around slowly, his expression resolute, and there was only a glimmer of light in the depths of his dark eyes, as if he was pregnant with determination. He raised his head and said slowly: "Balta, it has been a long, long time since the White Lions lost the flag in their hearts.
But precisely because of this, we can no longer lose the honor of being soldiers——"
"To this day, if the late king asks us for that answer, but we have already deviated from that glorious path, we can only answer His Majesty with the final dignity of this kingdom's army - the White Lions, until death.
"
The White Lions will fight until death.
Marquis Balta froze for a moment. He looked at the tall figure of the old knight. Outside the window, on the horizon, lightning fell from time to time in the storm. However, once upon a time, he was also young and frivolous, with persistence and ideals, but he was competing for power.
, the palace struggle has already smoothed all this out. Even he himself doesn't know what he has lost for all this.
At this moment, he suddenly saw the young man holding a spear and flying a flag. He was galloping on the high ground. The spear was shining and the trumpet was sounding. It turned out that he was so close to his ideal.
That is the history of Eruin.
The Marquis felt some moisture in his eyes. He bent down deeply with his bare eyes and bowed to his teacher. Only today did he realize that he had finally learned the last lesson of knighthood.
persist in.
"Cruz people also had glory," a voice said quietly: "But we learned to compromise. Ideals and reality are not always harmonious. A free and firm heart is certainly desirable, but people who have achieved self-sacrifice are also
honourable."
The owner of the voice lowered his head and gave a slight salute to Laird Douluos.
The old man shook his head with red eyes and choked with sobs: "Old friend Wood, the Eruin people are bleeding."
"I understand, I understand," Ampelsel's former chief priest was on the side of the room. He couldn't help but close his eyelids slightly at this moment. His expression was a little moved. He sighed deeply: "Ek has established a society where heroes emerge in large numbers.
Kingdom. I'm sorry..."
At this time, a minister wearing a priest's robe suddenly opened the door and burst in, shouting in a panic: "Master Priest, they resonate so much that we can't control them anymore."
Wood didn't hear anything, and just looked out the window at Ampelsel with emotion. He knew this kingdom and these people. Even at the last moment, there were people fighting for it.
But no matter right or wrong, at least they still have courage; compared to those cowards hiding in the dark and shivering, at least there are still people fighting against their fate.
However, one day the sun sets on Cruz and the glory of the empire is gone. What will it be like then?
"Master officiant?"
"Do your best, they, no...he will always notice," Wood replied without looking back. He thought of the young man he saw that day again and shook his head, "But no matter whether it is right or wrong, there are some things
We always have to do it.”
"As for the results."
"Leave it to history... The light falling between the clouds was like a big hand, and the huge pressure pinned everyone to the ground.
It’s curtain call!
Karen stood in the pouring rain with a long sword in his hand and just wanted to cry loudly. He might have shed tears, but the tears melted into the rain. He saw with his own eyes that golden light seemed to separate from the rain curtain and fell.
When he was on top of the army on the opposite side, he understood at that moment that no matter what the result was, this would be the last performance of the Kingdom's White Lions.
That man, he had personally handed the battle flag to this legion, put the laurel crown on their heads, and given them glory with his own hands. However, today he was standing on the opposite side of them, asking them to surrender.
no way!
Karen raised his head, as stubborn as a child, his eyes seemed to have penetrated the dark clouds and saw the final moment.
"But children will eventually grow up, Father Jun..."
"Maybe this is our answer."
He gritted his teeth, tears already flowing out, "Comrades of the White Lion Army, my brothers! The claws of the White Lion once shined on the highlands, and we also defended the territory for the kingdom," the voice of the young commander
Roaring in the wind and rain, "But no matter when! No matter where! Have we ever remembered the motto of the White Lion!"
"The White Lions will fight until death!"
"White Lions, till death!" Many soldiers wept. They suddenly realized what they were facing. What they once yearned for and what they insisted on was now standing on the other side of them. They
It seemed like they were fighting a losing battle, but the soldiers still picked up their swords with difficulty.
This is a choice.
Because that's where their honor lies.
It is the courage of the white lion.
Anyone who fights alongside me today will be my brother every day, and this will be the case every day, until the end. Karen raised the sword with great difficulty, and shouted two words with almost trembling: "Charge...charge!"
In the light, the majestic pressure made everyone unable to move.
But the White Lions of the Kingdom are advancing, as if crawling, little by little, with the final determination and courage on everyone's face, they charge towards Brando's reappearing White Lion Guards.
Slow as a snail, but keep moving forward.
When Caglis raised his head, he happened to see such a scene. They had experienced the wolf disaster, experienced the training of the black forest, received Brando's teachings, learned the most systematic elf swordsmanship, and inherited the oldest white swordsmanship.
Lion fighting method. Wearing the most exquisite white lion armor.
They are proud because they are born with such pride. They think that they represent the most glorious history of this kingdom. They think that they can be invincible.
But it wasn't until today that they truly understood what the soul of the army is.
Everyone was watching this scene, watching Karen and his soldiers launching the slowest charge in history. But what awaited them was not ridicule, but the most serious looks of their enemies.
"My late king," Caglis raised his head, raised his hands and shouted, "let us have a fair duel."
"It doesn't matter what's right or wrong."
"Just because of mutual respect!"
The light dissipated in an instant. However, the white lion armors worn by Caglis and his party had a layer of superb golden light, which was gradually converging. Finally, golden runes were engraved on the armor.
If Brando were here, he would recognize at a glance that this is the White Lion Armor that was finally improved by the late Lord Ekko.
The historical white lion armor.
This is the recognition of the righteous by noble souls. It was not until this moment that Caglis realized that they had truly gained the recognition of the white lion.
He also raised his sword, without giving an order - in fact, at the same time that the light and pressure disappeared, two legions that spanned history and the present collided with each other across a mere ten meters distance.
This is the most direct dialogue between the past and today, and the most direct confrontation between the two armies.
The swords of the soldiers of the White Lion Legion of the Kingdom slashed at the White Lion Armor of Caglis and his party, but they could not even effectively penetrate its magic protection. The outer periphery of the White Lion Armor only swayed slightly with golden light. The Kingdom soldiers'
The long sword was knocked away by the counterattack.
The White Lion armor was designed by Brando based on the Maximilian armor. The thickness of the armor is no more than three millimeters, but the equivalent protection value is as high as 6, which is almost equivalent to a double-layer hinged plate armor with a thickness of more than five millimeters. This
This type of plate armor has never existed on earth, and even in Warnd, a swordsman with peak black iron strength would be greatly restricted in his mobility when wearing it.
In fact, it is rare for infantry armies below the fourth level to fight wearing such heavy armor. That is usually the choice of cavalry.
The White Lion Armor is not only the protection of the armor itself, because it is magic armor. In fact, the wind protection spell surrounding it also provides an additional 5 points of magic protection, and the average strength of the White Lion Army of the Kingdom is at the peak of Black Iron.
Ordinary soldiers. Just breaking through 5 points of magic protection is very difficult.
Unless they also use enchanted weapons, but since the royal family's power has declined, the situation of the White Lion Legion has also been far worse than before. In the past, the White Lion Legion did have a glorious period, when everyone was issued magic armor and enchanted swords. But now
To this day, only a few elite troops in the legion can have magic armor for everyone.
As for enchanting weapons, don't even think about it. Because of the size and material of the weapons themselves, they are often more difficult to enchant than armor, so they are more precious. Eruin, including the royal knights, does not have that weapon yet.
The army can afford enchanted weapons.
Not to mention, the fourth column of the White Lion Army under Karen is not actually an elite force within the army. Only a few of the more than 200 people have magic swords in their hands, and most of them are personal items.
In fact, when Karen swung his sword and slashed at the armor on Caglis's shoulder and neck, he couldn't help but feel bitter. The sword in his hand was also a family sword. Although it was just a shimmering magic sword, at least it was
It had something to do with enchanted weapons. But when this sword slashed down, it only made a deep gash in the opponent's armor.
Of course, he didn't know that the armors of the White Lion Guard sergeants in Caglis were specially made and reinforced. He just thought that everyone on the other side was like this, and he couldn't help but feel half cold. He was a high-level Silver-level officer.
A swordsman can't even break through the opponent's defense with one strike of his sword, not even him, let alone anyone else.
But Karen was startled, and Caglis was equally startled.
If you don't fight with the opponent, you don't know how powerful the veteran of the White Lion Army is. To say that his strength has actually reached the middle level of silver after experiencing the Black Forest, and the level of White Crow Swordsmanship he has learned is far superior to the opponent, but the opponent just relies on that simple
The military swordsmanship almost killed him and caught him off guard.
It was just a quick word, it was too fast. As if the other party guessed his intention, he blocked the direction of his sword first and slashed it on his neck. If it weren't for the white lion armor, it was more powerful than expected.
, I’m afraid that his head is already in a different place at this moment.
At this moment, Caglis felt the pain that Buga, the White Knight Eberron, and Brando felt when they fought.
For a moment, Caglis couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
And now he is not the only one who is breaking out in cold sweat. All the young people from Tonigel are getting more and more frightened. Although they still have the advantage on the scene - the White Lions of the Kingdom have been losing troops from the beginning, and they are...
However, there was not even a single slightly injured person on one side.
But everyone knows that this is not their fault. It is that the armor designed and manufactured by the lord is too abnormal. In fact, they have been being suppressed and beaten by the veterans of the White Lion Army of the other kingdom, and they almost couldn't even fight back.
It's amazing. But the veterans of the White Lion Legion often slashed at them with more than a dozen swords. The White Lion Armor had no problem at all, but when they counterattacked with the Lion Sword, someone on the other side was often seriously injured or killed.
The veterans of the Kingdom's White Lion Corps don't have any fancy combat skills. They rely on the limited acceleration ability provided by the defective "White Lion Armor" to seize the opportunity to attack in an instant, and they can call Cagli every time.
Si's group was in a hurry.
It’s just Caglis~~-< Shuhai Pavilion >-Net. The first update~~ The more he beats, the more frightened he becomes, but the more the beats bring, the more painful Karen becomes.
Because no matter how much advantage they have, they can never win.
What's more, the opponent is not a bunch of rabble, Karen can also see it. Caglis and his party are like the new recruits on the battlefield, what they lack is experience.
But they have become more and more mature, and their counterattacks and defenses have become more and more stable. In comparison, they have become the other party's teachers - teaching the other party how to kill themselves.
Karen couldn't help but close her eyes in pain.
Caglis finally couldn't help it anymore. He was not a fool. Let's not talk about whether they would learn anything if they continued to fight like this. I was afraid that the morale of the Lord's White Lion Guard would be completely wiped out. Although
Arrogance is always a recipe for death. But an army cannot live without its own pride.
He couldn't help but look at the fighting White Lion veteran with some admiration.
At the same time, he issued an order: "White Lion Army. Give up defense and attack with all strength!" He almost yelled this sentence, which was a bit ridiculous. Their clumsy defense was completely useless in front of the opponent, but it was better to just simply
It is straightforward to leave the protection to the White Lion Armor and go all out to crush the opponent.
Although this order sounds a bit bizarre, it is the best solution Caglis can think of.
It is also the most effective.
As soon as the young people from Tonigel gave up their defense, they immediately seemed less confused. They seemed to have returned to the vast black forest. Their opponents were still those terrifying monsters, and they did not need to be confused anymore. They only needed to
Just like that day, muster up all the courage to move forward.
That's enough.
Caglis and his White Lion Guards roared in unison, raised the Lion Swords in their hands and began to charge forward. At that moment, the training they had endured in the Black Forest began to show its effect, and in their hands
The sharp swords were all swung at the enemy in front of them——
that moment.
Karen knew that failure was imminent.
That sword was so dazzling.
The dense air blades wielded by the White Crow Swordsmanship gather together, and if they pass through the rain curtain like waves, bringing up the hazy white mist, people realize why it is named White Crow.
Because it was a group of gray-white birds fluttering in flight.
They pass through the crowd.
Blood rained down.
Karen almost burst into tears. He didn't understand why he came here. Shouldn't their enemies be the Cruz people? But he brought his men here, causing them to lose their lives and all their glory.
But at this last moment, the entire fourth column of the White Lions of the Kingdom burst out with the greatest courage. They no longer retreated or took precautions, but completely strangled themselves with Caglis's men - the battlefield
It can hardly be called a confrontation. The soldiers of the White Lions of the Kingdom just want to die.
Even Caglis couldn't stand it anymore.
"enough!"
"Stop it——!" He stood in the heavy rain and roared, like a lion charging into the crown: "Everyone, stop it!"
In fact, without his order, the young men from Tonigel had stopped one after another. Then the soldiers of the Kingdom's White Lions also stopped. Many of them had become completely bloody men, but they were still staring breathlessly.
His enemies hold weapons tightly in their hands.
The street was blood red.
The two sides stood on this street, and there was a moment of silence between them.
"I don't know who you are," Caglis gasped in the rain, his voice echoing in the rain: "Commander on the other side, but I hope you will give us a way... This killing has already
This should not continue."
"The White Lions will never retreat, even if they die to the last man." Karen looked at the commander of the heavily armored 'White Lions' opposite him. He was also breathing heavily and was disheartened.
But still firm as ever.
Caglis took a deep breath.
"This is not retreat," he closed his eyes, "but do the White Lions of the Kingdom have to move forward in the face of the Eruin people? Is this where your glory lies? Why are you here? Answer me? Just to fight for power?
"
"No, this should not be what the White Lions are pursuing!"
"Is this what you yearn for?"
"When you joined under this glorious name and swore an oath to that flag, was this what you yearned for?"
"Open your eyes and take a good look!" Caglis almost roared, clenching his fists: "Look at your battle flag, it has been dyed red with blood! Look at this port, it has been
There’s blood all over it!”
"But it's all the blood of the Eruin people..."
"Listen to this burning sound. This is the dying groan of the kingdom. Don't you hear it?"
"This is what you swore to protect? This vast territory, everything you risked your life to protect in the oath, the homeland protected by ancient glory."
He stared at them word by word.
"We are killing our kingdom."
"So, please step aside... okay?"
With a clang, the sword in Karen's hand fell to the ground. He saw it, saw the blood-stained battle flag that Caglis pointed to, the white lion, but it was stained with the blood of the Eruin people themselves.
.
Is that really what they are after?
In the wind and rain, the knight of the White Lion Army knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
