When the knights launched a heroic charge under the leadership of the princess, Hao Ren rolled up a storm of flames and explosions in front of the Western Fortress, and the western gate of the kingdom screamed under the impact of chaos, the hinterland of this ancient kingdom still remained
Calmness is just a depressing and uneasy atmosphere brewing in the calmness.
White City, Talos I led his followers to build this glorious city on the plains nearly three centuries ago. It was the time when the tide of Chaos receded and the Year of Turmoil ended. Anzu continent was like other continents.
Everything was in ruins. The "Eagle Empire" that once dominated the southern part of the continent was destroyed due to the impact of Chaos. The Eagle Empire and the survivors of several nearby mountain kingdoms reorganized to form a new ethnic group. Talos I was this ethnic group.
leader. When he built this city, he just wanted to provide a sheltered place for his people to shelter from wind and rain, but he did not expect that the era of fertility that quickly ushered in the continent after the end of the tide of chaos would allow him to become a dynasty.
The founding king of the country.
The former sanctuary was remodeled and expanded many times and became the sacred capital of Talos.
The name of the White City comes from its color: 80% of the buildings in the city are holy white. When the chaos recedes and the sun shines on the earth again, the White City will shine as brightly as the holy white gems on the earth. This
The unique style has also made it the most famous and magnificent city on the Anzu continent. Even the envoys from the Holy Land once lamented: "This small border country in the corner of the continent actually has a pearl-like city."
"Capital", although this evaluation is full of arrogance from the people of the Sanctuary, the Talos people still believe that this is enough to prove how proud their capital is.
The earliest cornerstone of the White City was a white rock from the "Tassili Valley" in the eastern part of the plain. According to historical records, the Tasili Valley appeared out of thin air within a month after the end of the Chaos War. Therefore, scholars believe that the rock was the force of chaos that was re-ordered.
The product of power shuffling, in the world of Koro, this incredible thing is part of the laws of nature. It is the constant shuffling of chaos and order that allows this world to continue to exist in a cycle. And today, the Tasili Valley's
The rock field has long been closed, and the main materials of the city's buildings have changed from stone to magic and alchemical materials. However, the people of Baicheng still have not changed the color of their city. They collect white clay from the plains to use as house paint, and continue to maintain the color of Baicheng.
pride.
Or to be more precise, it is the pride of the aristocratic class in the city. The common people don't actually care what color the house they live in is. However, the aristocrats hope that the name of "the holy white gem of southern Ansu" can last forever, so they will
"Maintaining the holy color of the city" was written into the decree, and white clay became one of the means for these proud nobles to amass wealth.
"Their pride should be thrown on the front line of Chaos. I want to see if those drunkards and ricebags can block the monster's claws if they stick to the city wall!"
A loud shout broke the peace of the "Golden Rose Palace" in the royal city. A middle-aged man with a strong build, short flame-red hair, scars on his face, and wearing a military uniform of the kingdom threw the parchment in his hand on the ground.
, and then walked around the room angrily. This rather rough-looking man had the right to make a loud noise in this royal city, because he is the most famous fighting hero in this country, the supreme commander of the Royal Knights, and the hero.
Eagle General Groen Mordorik.
He was used to yelling in front of the king. This habit started when he and the king secretly climbed trees in the palace.
Of course, at that time he and Rudolf III combined were only in their teens.
There were several other people in the room. A middle-aged man wearing a lavender robe with slightly gray purple hair and a majestic face was sitting on a gorgeous armchair in the center of the room. There was no expression on his indifferent face. The middle-aged man
Next to the man stood a girl who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. This girl had long bright lavender hair and was wearing a moon-white princess dress. Her temperament looked elegant, dignified, calm and peaceful. If Hao Ren was there,
Here, you will be surprised to find that this girl looks almost exactly like Veronica.
The last person stood far away from everyone. He was wearing a dark red tweed suit commonly worn by nobles, with two rows of shiny copper buttons. He had a thin figure, a serious face, and light brown curly hair sticking to his cheeks.
It hangs down a little, making that thin and long face look even more inhuman.
"Gron, be quiet. I know at least half of them are losers, but nobles are still necessary for this country," the middle-aged man in the armchair finally said when General Groen circled around for the third time.
He spoke in a calm and powerful voice, "Including the rice pail part."
"What can they be used for?" Groen replied rudely, but still calmed down: although he was notorious for his lack of etiquette when he was with the king, as a general of the kingdom, he still knew when to do it.
obedient.
"At least they can let you curse and vent your anger," Rudolf III, the man on the armchair, joked, "and they are right. The kingdom's defeat in the west has disgraced us in Anzu, and even in the entire Kolo
The whole world has been disgraced. Although face is meaningless to chaos monsters, it is real benefits and opportunities to politicians. If we cannot hold on to the last piece of order in the southern part of the continent, then there will be many countries.
Are you willing to 'help' us defend it? In the Glow Continent, the Violet Empire's magic airship fleet has begun to assemble."
"These guys," the scars on Gronn's face trembled with anger, "the Glow Continent is close to the Holy Land, the tide of chaos always ends earliest, and the damage is the least every time, and then they always
Put your paws into other people’s homes!”
"The darker the darkness, the closer it is to recession. The power of the tide of chaos has reached its peak, which means that this disaster is almost over. The year of plenty is coming soon. Every country must make plans for the future.
The corpses of the dead are divided and eaten by the living, and those who survive have the obligation to become stronger in order to face the next war. This is the iron law of Kolo since ancient times, and this is how we have come."
Rudolf III quietly talked about the cruel reality. However, this reality is like this. The last few years of every chaos war are the biggest tests that mortal kingdoms have to face. Most of the kingdoms that eventually collapse are in this final period.
If a country cannot withstand it for a few years, those powerful kingdoms with spare power will be waiting early. Once a country faces collapse, they will immediately take action, first to rescue it, and then to naturally incorporate and annex it.
This is not despicable at all. Incorporating and reorganizing a country saves resources and time rather than rebuilding a civilization from the ruins. The tide of chaos that occurs once in a century does not allow people to negotiate slowly. How to complete the redistribution of resources after the war as soon as possible?
and reconstruction work are the laws of the jungle that the Kolo people have to master since ancient times. This can even be regarded as the unique spirit of unity and dedication in this world.
Now Talos's western defense line is in a state of disarray. If the power of Chaos invades, this ancient kingdom that has survived two Chaos Wars will be in danger. In this case, it is reasonable for any surrounding country to take any voyeuristic actions, including those who are hardcore.
The same is true for the allies. If the kingdom really collapses, then the Talos people will not have any conflict with the "takeover", and everything will be handed over peacefully.
It's just that the party that falls will not be so willing after all, and this is the case with General Groen.
"The situation in the Western Forest is in a mess, and what has happened cannot be reversed." At this time, the thin man who had been standing at the farthest point suddenly spoke, "It's just a pity for Your Highness Veronica. I heard that she fought bravely
, but the situation is unbeatable.”
"Grand Duke Luen, don't talk as if this matter has nothing to do with you," Groen stared at the thin Grand Duke Luen, the most powerful man in the kingdom besides the king, "Her Royal Highness the Princess is heading to the Western Front.
A share of credit.”
"The kingdom's military plan has no personal relationships..."
"That's enough," Rudolf III suddenly raised his voice and interrupted the quarrel. The king had an angry look on his face and no warmth in his voice. "You are here discussing the death of my daughter! Think of a father at this moment.
Get in the mood!"
"I am guilty," General Groen immediately bowed to Rudolf III to apologize, "but I believe that the Order State should bear the main responsibility for this matter, including the current situation in the western border of the Kingdom, and it is necessary for the Order State to give an explanation."
Grand Duke Lu En, who was standing aside, had no expression on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"The Order State must give an explanation," Rudolf III said with a livid face, "Those people from the Holy Land..."
There was silence in the room for a while, and the one who broke the silence was the girl standing next to Rudolph III. This girl who looked exactly like Veronica said softly: "Father, regarding what happened in the West, and the border of Chaos
Regarding foreign matters, scholars have some... opinions."
"Explanation?" Rudolf III raised his head and looked at his daughter, who was famous for her intelligence. "Aniya, what did they study?"
"Some are the observations of scholars, and some are news from the border, including unconfirmed information," Princess Ania said softly, "For example, new energy flows have appeared in the chaos, and for example, the dark side of the Sea of Karnos has
Expanding to the entire Koro, there are also strange changes occurring on the floating island group in the southern border of the kingdom. The group of monsters on the islands are conducting organized large-scale activities, and there is also a rumor about the 'Head Wolf'..."
