The Amber Sword

The first holy war generally refers to the battle of the saints that took place a thousand years ago. The four saints led the people of the Dark Iron to oppose the cruel rule of the Dark Dragon. The countless songs praised the glorious and sacred war.

The second jihad started at the end of the year of chaos. It was a sacred war launched by the Faenzans, Cruzs, and Wind Elves in order to open up the vast wilderness and the Black Forest between the three kingdoms. It was an era of pioneering knights, wilderness The magnificent tragedy of the above continued until the establishment of Eruin, after which the territory of the three empires basically formed, leaving only narrow and dark forests as a buffer zone between countries. This war was also magnificent and lasted for nearly two years. For centuries, the name of jihad has also been established.

The third jihad began in the glorious year and lasted for nearly half a century-and it turned out that this war was neither glorious nor honorable, especially the November war in the last seven years, the bloodshed became The only memory people have of this war. The reason for the beginning of the war stems from the magical technology brought by the rise of the Hazels. The introduction of new technology has brought countries into the most prosperous era, but the hidden dangers caused by population expansion are also presented one by one. When the population began to flood into the border , The eyes of the empire had to look at the remaining unopened areas.

Starting from the glorious year, the three empires followed the sacred covenant and marched together towards the border of the Four Realms. The war began from the south of the Alkash Mountains, but this turned into a terrible mistake. Throughout the war, because of the contradiction of land division, the mutual distrust between the royal family and the increasing conflict between the teachings of the temple, and the confusion and deception of the believers in all things, the 320 years of the first era -In the year of the upheaval, the Cruzites' Levouss local army suddenly attacked the winged Elves who were allies. This battle was apparently in retaliation for an earlier conflict, but there was no shortage of everything. Will act shadow. Subsequently, the Human Legion of the Wind Elves also retaliated, completely intensifying the contradiction. Humans and the Wind Elves fought against each other on the narrow battlefield. The high-level aristocracy that all infiltrated into the order society played a significant role in the battle. , But when most aristocrats woke up, the results were long gone.

But this actually reflects the human heart from a certain aspect, and Ron Samillian, a Runeburg scholar, wrote in his book, 'People shirk their sins too much into some evil force without introspection. His own fault, in fact, history has already proven that this kind of force only played a certain driving role in the entire course of the war, but it only exposed the ugly side of human nature more-', this statement describes The scene of the war at that time, after June, the Fannzan Chiluo joined the war naked, and then the lion, tortoises, and kingdoms of Torquain were drawn into the vortex. The war dragged all participants. Enter into an endless battle, for hatred, greed, or whatever, until they are exhausted from each other.

After the war, the Cruzs occupied the entire Four Realms and a small part of the Clover Plains, including large tracts of land originally belonged to the Wind Elves. The Fazan people were the biggest winners, and they benefited from both sides. The Lions Addressing their need for hatred, many princes, large and small, were enslaved during the war—because of the greed of the imperial nobles, or the need for the course of the war—on the surface it seemed that the second jihad was in the cave beast. It has come to an end around the year, but in fact the seeds of deeper hatred have been planted, the final trust between the empire and the empire has been lost, and the friction on the border is growing. Almost everyone understands that these three beasts are nothing but Losing strength requires a short recuperation, and each of them can't wait to jump up and bite each other immediately.

The Cruzians need to make some sort of compensation for the blood of the aristocracy shed during the November war in the last seven years. Although they have benefited from the war, they are more hurt, which hurts the entire aristocracy. The impetuosity and fieryness of the people made them even more want to free themselves from that disreputable war and punish Faenzan and the Wind Elves. This culture has increased the exploitation of small nations by the Cruzs, and also allowed the penetration of all things into a wider market. However, for the wind elves, it is also an unforgettable hatred. It is the same for the Faenzans and the Cruzs. They lost their territories in the war and naturally wanted to recapture them. The only Faanzan who wanted to keep the results of the last war, because of the constant provocation by the Cruzs and the wind elves on the border, gradually began to become less impatient.

The fourth jihad — or the third, because of the reputational influence of the third jihad, the world is increasingly reluctant to associate subsequent jihad with the war of the saints, especially scholars, many of whom Man does not regard the battle of the Holy One as a war of the same type to expand the territory, but to take it from history alone and set it aside-so the pain caused by the second war is destined to be the third war China broke out. This is something that has been expected by all countries, but when it really started, it was earlier than everyone expected.

In late July, the Death Frost forest exploded.

On the same day, Toquinin, Wallez and Orkins were bombarded by the trial of the fourteen ring magic gods, countless dead and wounded, and the three cities were almost turned into ashes.

Within two months, the Golden-Maned Lions began to assemble an army. Their attacks moved away from the Grey Mountains and Yanilasu in the south, crossed the Holy White Plain, and began to march toward Cruz. At the beginning, the Lions left the warm Great Plains and arrived at the Lion Fortress. The news of the war spread throughout the Cruz Empire within half a month. In the same month, the wind elves' avengers set off from the ruins of Orkins and sneaked into the cruz red army on the Clover Plain. The Wind Elves quickly regained several towns and cities on the Clover Plain. The fortress clashed with the Cruzs on the border of the Four Realms.

As for the Faenzans, although there has been no action on the surface, their army has long since assembled from White City and Greyhughes--

When Constance and Archbishop Vala summoned the envoys of all nations and nobles under the rule of the Temple of Fire to reach Rusta, Brando understood that the second chapter in the game-war and chaos The time has come ahead.

Her Royal Highness confirmed the candidates for the mission in the shortest time.

First of all, the head of the mission was naturally Brando. Although there were many objections in the royal party, Griffin suppressed all the objections. She understood the true purpose of Brando's trip and also supported it. The Earl did it. Most of the opponents of the King ’s Party think that this is a kind of indulgence and impulsive behavior, but she does n’t think so. Brando ’s phrase “This is the backbone and pride of a nation” finally moved her. The kingdom really needs Some of her own pride, Griffin knew that such a banner would allow her to get some people who really supported her, not those nobles who were timid.

They had parted ways with her as early as Ampelsel, and Her Royal Highness had no chance at all about it.

If the aristocracy of a kingdom does not stand with her, then at least she will stand with its citizens, Brando's words, as if a lighthouse was lit for her in the darkness.

Then, for the royal family, Her Royal Highness still stubbornly chose Haruzer-which made Brando somewhat flattered. He knew the rules between the nobles of Warnde and therefore the princess. The reason why Her Royal Highness chose this way—because Haruze was the future Crown Prince of Eruin, the Cruzians could not keep him in the empire for whatever purpose, otherwise the Queen of Silver would offend all her nations. , And will even leave a very bad reputation among the imperial nobility.

But it still takes some risks to do so. The crown prince's long journey is full of instability. Prince Rainer, who is still reclusive in Tonigel, is a ready-made example. However, Griffith made up her mind to allow her beloved brother to take risks and protect Brando, the thoughtful head of the ambassador, because she understood Brando's significance to Eruin at the moment, if he Died in Cruz, then she and Haruzer ’s future is also bleak. She knows what she will do, and in her opinion, Haruzet ’s future king of Eruin should also be for this kingdom. It's time to take responsibility in the future.

This is what she said to her only brother: "Haruzet, the experience of your and your teacher's mission will probably be the most precious wealth in your life; Haruzet, this may be The last time I told you, you have to be strong alone, because you are the king of Eruin. "

The little prince had no objection, but was terrified by the severeness of his sister and almost cried, but was glared at by Princess Griffin, and he swallowed tears back into his stomach, then Nodded honestly.

Brando, with a little gratitude to His Royal Highness, returned to Tonigel and began to select the ‘servants and deputies’ who accompanied him. He hated it clearly. The so-called mission was just a guise. What he was going to do was clear to everyone around him. Therefore, what this so-called envoy needed was not a courtesy full of noble etiquette, but a An army that could upset Cruz.

The number of this 'army' is small, and he has a suitable candidate in his mind.

"Because almost all the funds in the territory are invested in the preparation for war-mainly the recruitment and training of the White Lion Guard, the creation of weapons and armor, the cost of magic crystals, daily maintenance, the acquisition of rare materials, etc. Wait a minute-in short, the construction in the Black Forest has now basically stopped. This situation can be maintained for about three to four months, and no later than half a year, it will shake our previous results. "

The carriage was bumping, Lin Ying went through the window, leaving a mottled pattern on the black dress as the wheel moved forward, Brando's face was illuminated by light and shadow, and he listened to the businessman with one hand on his chin. The lady rarely reads a report to herself-this is a boring thing in the sight of little Roman, so her little eyebrows are twisted, as part of the merchant's interest, she doesn't mind reading the pile of mountains Account books or similar literature, but to read them one by one and turn them into audiobooks, she began to feel a little bit dry.

But this is what Brando wanted to ask her to do. She used this reason to persuade herself for about five minutes and about ten seconds, but immediately found a new excuse—Brando always liked to see her in trouble. Looks like this, which makes her very upset. Lord Roman was upset. Roman began to realize this. She raised her feather-like eyebrows, and quickly moved her mouth and said, "The White Lion Guard muttered about 100 casualties in the previous war ..."

Brando stared at the guy with a stare: "Wait, what you said in the second half, I didn't understand at all."

"That's what it is in the second half, isn't it? I just read it very quickly and you didn't hear it clearly, but I've finished reading it." Miss Merchant started to cheat as always.

"You are playing tricks, aren't you saying that you should read the report to me this afternoon? I have to understand what happened to the territory during this time." Brando answered angrily.

"But I've finished reading it. Using my aunt's teaching-" Witch's rapid reading method ", Brando didn't hear clearly that Brando wasn't a witch, that had nothing to do with Roman," her black eyes The child turned around and shoved a stack of reports into Fro's hand: "But you can ask Fro to read it for you. She won't be the" witch's quick way to read ", so Brando doesn't have to worry about hearing it unclear. "

Brando was convinced that her 'witch's speedy way of reading' must have popped out of the corner of the little brain temporarily, but the merchant lady's imagination was so rich that she had the same name There can be a difference before and after. He rolled his eyes and was too lazy to take it apart, because anyway, the young lady must be able to justify herself in the end, this is a stunt of Lord Roman, rolling around, and most people ca n’t learn it.

He looked at Furrow, who was sitting opposite them and turned a blind eye to the two living treasures in front of him, including his Lord Lord. She silently sorted out the manuscript and continued reading: "The White Lion Guard's casualties have been removed from Tony The recruits recruited by the Geer and Mintai regional police teams are supplemented. In addition, they are expanded by 500 people. They are a total of 1,500 people compared with the previously expanded part. However, these recruits are still training in Tonigel and Jean-Denell. Unusable for a short time. "

"Caglis did a good job," Brando praised.

The scenery outside the car window has been replaced by a quiet mountain forest. This is the second day after returning to Tonigel. He stretched out in the compartment and found that he felt more relaxed after returning to the territory. In Prague Although Si's home was very warm, he was still very different when facing his dad-after all, this is his own site that he built up hand to foot. He originally wanted his parents to move to Tonigel, but Old Scott refused to accept it stubbornly. Although his mother, Windsor, seemed to be a little emotional, he finally failed to make it. Fortunately, Bunid promised to send someone to look after his family. However, with the protection of the Highland Knights, Madara's possible revenge was ignored.

His Royal Highness did not succeed in the end. Griffin mainly arranged him as the head of the envoy to Cruz. Naturally, he had to go to Tonigel in person to examine the team he had selected for the empire—beware. The Earl really took an army to Cruz. Of course, this is just an excuse for the princess. The princess' private journey to a subject's territory is actually not in accordance with the rules, and it also has an adverse effect on her reputation. With Frada, she insisted on detouring from Tonigel, and it didn't make sense.

However, Brando knew to his heart that Her Royal Highness's visit to the fir collar would not leave easily. His departure from Eruin to Cruz was an unsettling factor for the situation in the kingdom, and at least on the surface, in the eyes of the world, His Royal Highness still stood behind the Tonigulls. If his Count Tonigger was short Out of the kingdom for a long time, then she is likely to face the danger of being suspended once again by the Wang party.

She came to her territory this time for the purpose of presenting a state of mind behind inspections, and also to show the outside world a close relationship with his Count Tonigel. For His Royal Highness's considerations, Brando didn't think too much at first, only when His Royal Highness had come to resign for him, but only after being reminded by Antitina. In fact, Tonigel and the royal family are also interdependent. When he was not in the country, his territory in particular needs to be recognized by the royal family. This is related to the legitimacy of the territory and to avoid being invaded by the royal party.

Therefore, after understanding the consideration of the long princess, he began to cooperate tacitly.

For this reason, Princess Griffin sealed the title of Count Jean-Dernell on the first day of his arrival in Tonigel-this is actually a compensatory title, because Tonigel was never an Count collar. Originally, Brando had no ambitions to make Denell. In his original plan, it would be better for Denell and Enrique to be merged into the royal territory, to further strengthen the central power, but also to give other places. It serves as an example, not to mention that Alek has the second best source of soldiers in the kingdom-the Highlanders (Eruin's main source of troops comes from the Grey Mountain area), and Dennell is the most southerly country outside of Ampelsel. Prosperous territory. With these two territories, the royal family can be said to have a pivotal voice in Eruin.

As for himself, Count Tonigel is just a guise. The land of order developed by the Ring of Tradewinds is almost half the size of the southern border. After it has fully grown, it is not difficult to create another Eruin. The key is that it contains exciting minerals and resources, so that he has no interest in operating other territories.

However, Princess Griffin dismissed this idea with only a few potentials. Her Royal Highness told him seriously that the title of the title was not only a reward, but also a recognition. With his current status and with her, The relationship between them, if he did not get the title of Count Denel today, I am afraid it will easily cause outside doubts, and then make the situation in the kingdom unstable. Instead of aggravating the royal family's right to speak, it would only make the Corkova family prestige and shake Tonigull's legitimacy. After listening, Brando realized that his thoughts were too naive and had to Follow the good.

After receiving the title of Jean-Denell, nominally, he gained part of the command of the Southern Army, and this expansion was actually carried out under this name.

Princess Griffin just didn't see it, not to mention the issue of the ownership of the former Southern Army who was still resting in Ampelsel at the moment. Brando also seemed to pretend to forget this. The two kept the tacit understanding to perform this. In a play, outsiders only think that the two young people have not understood the operation of the local forces in the kingdom. Few people, including Wang Dang, reminded them of this, as if waiting to see with a mentality of seeing jokes. They are ugly. However, many people inside Tonigel understand that his lord Lord obviously got some kind of intent to clean up the mess of the legions of the south border local nobles—the legions of forces—to restrain each other and drag their hind legs.

However, the plan has just begun, Brando had to put it aside and give it to Caglios or Her Royal Highness, because the Cruzians were annoying for him. He interrupted the elder sister in front of him and skipped this paragraph directly and asked: "In terms of preparation for war, the reserves of materials can be slightly slowed down. If we really want to start a war with the Cruzs, it can't be just Her Royal Highness Princess will find a way to help with things in Tonigull. The focus of materials and funds should be on Valhalla. Furuo, if I need to use all the Valkyrie, how long can the territory afford? "

"If you slow down the pace in other areas, it should be no problem to maintain the supply of the magic crystal ore in the Black Forest for one year, Lord Lord." The elf girl replied unchanged.

"What if you want to keep the building inside the Black Forest?"

"Three months to six months."

Brando nodded: "What about the acquired material?"

"At present, there are only Phoenix wings and singing silver, and the quantities are very scarce. As for the materials that other lords want, there is no eyebrows at the moment." Furuo looked at him and said.

(PS :) The plots of these recent chapters have been difficult to write. Considering that the plot takes a long time, so it is too late to upload. Please forgive me. Also look at the hard work of writing these days, and ask for monthly tickets. (To be continued. Search for floating literature, novels are better and faster!)
