Lorraine Hill looked at the falling snowflakes in the sky, stretched out his hand to catch a few, and watched them carefully before they melted.
It’s a new year again. She sighed in her heart.
Ever since I left Emenas, time seems to have been accelerating. Some of my former classmates must have entered fifth grade and are about to graduate.
In an era of rapid changes, time is passing faster and faster.
And while the girl was standing in the courtyard, reverie, a maid in a black and white dress came walking through the snow.
"Your Highness Lorraine Hill, the team is ready." Palinsha looked at the young sage in front of her.
"Well, I'll be right over." The silver-haired girl turned around. She was wearing a snow-white winter dress today, with only some silver patterns on the corners, which complemented the soft silver hair behind her.
Looking at the girl who was about to walk out of the courtyard, Palinsha hesitated for a moment and then asked.
"Your Highness the Sage, do you really want to go to the front line in person? The current situation is not stable..."
Lorraine Hill pulled up the white hood behind her and answered softly.
"I know, but it's really uneasy for me to keep waiting like this. In addition, regarding safety issues, with Mr. Feheran accompanying me, it shouldn't be a big problem." When Lorraine Hill said this, he touched the piece inside his clothes.
Pocket watch, feeling the warm feeling coming from it, my heart suddenly calmed down.
Although there is more than one Sequence 9 member of the Frost Alliance, the war has progressed to this point, and it is impossible to move forward without any guarantees. Any undertaking or great undertaking has risks and ups and downs. For the sake of future victory, it is now up to you to do it yourself.
It's time to fight.
"How can we convince everyone if we don't set an example?"
"Palinsa, have you ever read the legend about Roland opening up the Kingdom of the West Wind? Wherever that flag goes, thousands of scenes follow, and everyone's hearts are united."
"Now I'm just fulfilling my responsibilities."
"But you are different...if anything happens to you, then everything..."
"But isn't it the same for everyone? The children and pillars of many families are bleeding on the ground in the front, and as long as there is no victory, this situation will continue."
"Okay, why are you so sentimental today? Aren't you very capable on weekdays?" Lorraine Hill turned her head and looked at the maid standing in the snow.
"Don't worry, I'll be back." Her voice was steady and clear.
Palinsha looked at the silver-haired girl and bit her lower lip, knowing that she could not stop this determined sage. She lifted up her skirt, bowed and said in a deep voice.
"I wish you a triumphant return."
"Thanks."
Lorraine Hill walked out of the palace. Outside the gate, groups of knights in silver armor had been waiting for a long time. They were holding bright cross lances, and there were sun emblems on their white cloaks behind them.
These are the Knights of the Iron Sun from the Tissilan Mountains. As the bodyguards of the Sage, they will go to the southwest side of Crancia and face the Falcon Kingdom's full-line attack together with an army of 200,000.
"Set off!"
Kanda, the leader of the knights, shouted loudly, and following his order, the team of hundreds of people stepped on the snowflakes accumulated on the road and headed out of the city gate.
The strength of the accompanying knights is basically above Sequence 4, which is War Sequence 4·White Flame Knight, and when they advance again, they will be War Sequence 5·Scorching Sun Knight, and then they will be War Sequence 6·Scorching Sun Knight.
As the team set off, transparent flames ignited on the hooves of the horses beneath them, melting the snow under their feet and allowing them to gallop across the land faster. Viewed from the sky, their formation looked as sharp as
Arrow, head south.

Three days later, the border camp of Chuimu County was established.
Due to the barren land, there is no prominent large city on the border near Falcon, and the population is not large. Now the border army has set up corresponding fences and beacon lookouts in the camp and key roads to monitor the enemy's possible attack direction.
Inside the big tent.
Lorraine Hill and several generals are discussing.
"How is the situation now?" She just arrived last night.
"At present, Falcon's army has occupied Brown Flute County in Mufeng Province. Now we are resisting in Tonghai County and Chuimu County."
"How many enemies are there approximately?" Lorraine Hill continued to ask.
"About 200,000 cavalry, 100,000 infantry, and 50,000 wing tribesmen. According to estimates from the intelligence department, the opponent's army is still increasing, and the total strength will probably reach its peak at 500,000."
"It seems like it's going to be another hard battle." Lorraine Hill sighed.
It is worthy of being a country co-governed by knights and wing tribes. Such a small country can gather 200,000 cavalry and occupy an entire county of Crancia at such a rapid pace. This is also the number of losses that have been lost in the past few months since the war began.
The border with the most territory.
The Kingdom of Falcon is not wealthy. A large area of the country is desert, with only a few oases where residents gather. Many relics were excavated in the early years, allowing countless adventurers to come in to explore and hunt for treasures, and it became lively as a result.
Later, as the ruins were gradually excavated, it gradually became an area inhabited by bandits. Many large-scale bandits who robbed West Wind and Verga set up bases here. After robbing property or goods, they dragged them into the desert, making it difficult to trace them.
return.
This situation lasted until hundreds of years ago, when a heroic knight stepped into this land. He used his strong strength to hunt down and defeat various bandits in the territory, and gradually gathered his men.
Finally, the knight went to the cliffs and mountains by the sea to negotiate with the Wing Clan there. After more than ten years of mutual familiarity, the leader of the Wing Clan was impressed by him, and the two parties began trading.
The desert riders in the desert transported goods from far away, and the Winged Clan also exchanged various exquisite creations of their own for these. Finally, as this alliance gradually deepened, the two parties finally jointly established the Falcon Kingdom.
In the Falcon Country, the culture of rangers and knights has been popular for a long time, and the folk customs are extremely loyal. The same is true. Most of the rangers and riders in the territory are hired by other people. Some of them become followers of the West Wind nobles, and some become caravans.
The guards export their own unique cultural customs to the outside world.
Because of their thirst for trade and water, these people living in the desert mostly raise a kind of short-footed horse with excellent endurance. Such horses are good at carrying heavy loads and traveling long distances, and can carry goods through long-term dry land.
Climb the rugged mountain road to the cliffs and mountains where the Yi tribe lives. In order to protect themselves from the sun and high temperatures, residents in the Falcon Kingdom often wear white robes.

A week later, on the barren and dry wilderness, the two armies faced each other.
On one side of the field, knights wearing scale armor and white scarves and veils stood in the distance. He had a round shield and a long knife on his waist. Many horses also had dark gray iron pieces hanging on them.
A slender spear is also placed on the saddle, ready to be picked up.
Facing the blocking army of Crancia, these knights from the Falcon Kingdom did not say a word. Under the whine of the horn, they twitched their riding whips, from slow to fast, gradually accelerated, and then charged straight into the enemy formation with scimitars and spears held high.

The figures are floating, the dust and sand are rolling, and the swords are like scaly sea waves, majestic and majestic.
