The Amber Sword - 987

The rustling wind swept across the dry and cracked land of the plateau, and the sparse vegetation rustled up and shook, bowing and bowing to the indifferent and harsh monarch. Favas stretched out his snow-white paws to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky, and his thin claws stretched out from under the fluff, shining with cold light. It raised its head, and the blue sea-like eyes reflected the entire northern sky and the scene above the earth. That is such a picture. The northern mountains of Anzeruta are like a giant gate, lying at the end of the sky, in the open. On the alluvial plain, the river is like a shining ribbon. The river flows far away and merges under the undulating mountains. The heavy gray shadows and the curved curves finally gather at one point.

There is a fortress, the last gateway to the evergreen corridor.

Fawaz stared in that direction silently, not knowing what thoughts were turning in his mind, the cold wind blew the white beard of the king of beasts with a brass ring, causing it to sway slightly. It turned its head, and the heavy armor draped on its body made a squeaky sound: “Change the flag.” Standing behind this wise and martial lion king were two rows of tall guards with golden mane, but among the crowd , There was an old lion man with a long stick in a red robe, and saw it bend its head and knees, and asked tremblingly:

“Now? My dear Majesty?”

Favas put up a finger, his sharp nails gleamed with a sharp cold light, and it shook the finger gently: “Don’t call me your majesty, Naze, only that person can call it your majesty. She is a thousand realms. The King of Kings, the King of Kings, she is the light of day and the color of night. It was foreseen in the psalm that she would rule the world, and now she is back, with the gospel of eternity and the salvation of the lion people, you I serve her as I serve a prince.”

Modesty stared at the lion’s camp. The cold-blooded animal’s unique vertical pupil contained a cold narrow light. She immediately saw patches of black flags rising from the endless camp, replacing the original one. Ocean-like golden lion’s mane flag. “Hahaha,” the female black dragon couldn’t help but laugh twice, “It’s an honor to witness the coming of such an era.”

She spread her hands up, and black flags slowly rose behind her.

Above that flag, the holy emblem named Yasgot gleamed.

On the eve of the Holy Day of the Year of the Sword, the lionman with the Golden Mane Toquinine passed through the Rokozy-Broken Sword Mountain fortress group, and Qiao Gendigang’s army captured the last fortress in the south of the Four Realms-Asaph, two The army gathered at the southern end of the Evergreen Passage, and subsequently announced the change of flag at the same time. The black imperial battle flag, the symbol of the dark dragon Odin, has finally reappeared on this land after disappearing from the earth for a full thousand years.

The remnants of the Cruz people fleeing north, the knights and the nobles, had the honor to witness the birth of this moment that changed history with their own eyes.

The news was brought to the north, and people soon discovered that Her Majesty the Supreme Queen of the empire and the temple army belonging to her side had played the same banner, so a rumors spread under the spread of caring people. Thousands of years later, the king in darkness has already Returning, she is both the prince and the father. She is the bright light rising in the darkness and the ruler of the previous era. When she comes back, she brings the glory and redemption that passed away and will surely put an end to all these lies.

The whole Warend was shaken.

仿佛有默契一般，赤之军团与风精灵在四境之野同时停战，但随后精灵们就陷入了死水般的沉寂之中，风后圣殿一时间竟然没有任何表示，圣殿上到圣座下到主祭，王廷上至皇帝下至群臣，竟集体失声，仿佛一个可怕的禁忌横亘在他们面前，让他们战战兢兢如履薄冰，不敢轻易开口。

在法恩赞，撒尼珥人放缓了南进的脚步，自由城邦的贵族们面面相觑，竟不知所措。一直以来对于黑暗之龙避讳莫深的光明圣堂忽然召集所有地区主教前往白城，重新启用了圣者之战后一度废弃的神圣议会，但就在人们猜测教会要出兵南下制裁那个疯子女王时，法恩赞的至高者——帝国的皇帝陛下兼教皇葛罗瑞亚二世以一纸敕令让沸沸扬扬的北方陷入死寂。

‘银马骑士团退回阿尔喀什以北，帝国境内所有军队不得南下一步，神圣议会暂时关闭，圣堂内部不允许任何人讨论关于南方的形势——’

于是七百六十二年之后重新开启的神圣议会犹如回光返照一般，在短暂的复苏之后又同样迅速地死去，期间只经历了短短的十二天，法恩赞人将之戏称为‘十日议会’。

一系列事件之后，留下的唯一结果是整个文明世界集体陷入了静默之中，仿佛发生在克鲁兹帝国的剧变只是一个幻觉。

“砰——”

魏娜公爵重重地将信封拍在桌上，兀在抖动的手证明他心中的怒火有多高，这位老一辈的帝国重臣须发皆张，犹如狮子一般环顾四周，怒吼道：“放任这局势继续恶化下去对他们有什么好处！？”围绕在沙盘边的将军们面色不一，有的惊怒不已，有的茫然不知所措，有的则露出了惶恐不安的神色，就在三天之前，女王陛下的大军已经攻入了西梅兹，她的军队中旗帜鲜明地出现了山民与女巫的序列，并且在文明的边境，据说有许多人观测到了奇怪的人类族群，所有人都心知肚明，那是敏尔人又回来了。

Nowadays, the rumor that Her Majesty is the Dragon of Darkness has long been raging. She has never been old since she was fifteen. Isn’t this the most direct proof? People originally hoped that the Temple of Flame would stand up and take charge of the overall situation at this chaotic juncture, but now even the Temple itself has split into two factions. The two voices fought fiercely in the empire’s ideological world, making it difficult to distinguish who is. Who is wrong, but as the situation on the battlefield becomes more and more skewed towards the Queen, many clerks have already fallen to the scholastics. As for the northern nobles, whom the conservatives rely on, their days are getting worse every day.

Many of the conservative aristocrats were originally royalists. Standing on the position of the orthodox heirs, since the Silver Queen began to attack the princes around him, they have been separated from them. As the Silver Queen’s actions become more and more frantic, what they originally thought would be the most unconventional actions in the world will soon lead her into a state of rebellion, especially when she re-enables the Senia people and claims to be the Dark Dragon. The north was full of joy. At that time, they could even imagine that soon Faenzan and Saint Ossor would send troops to intervene, and maybe even the sage who was far away in the ring of the world would take action to suppress them.

Everyone knows that the world order established after the War of the Saints is the cornerstone of mortal civilization. Anyone who attempts to shake this cornerstone is against the entire civilized world. At this moment, the already crazy Her Majesty is standing on the opposite side of the entire civilized world.

Her fate can be imagined.

The northern aristocrats celebrated with each other, thinking that victory was already in sight, but the facts that followed made them shocked and even at a loss. The successive silence of the Temple of Light and the Temple of the Queen of Wind caused their hearts to drop to a freezing point, and they even doubted their own worldview. What is going on in this world? However, the silence of one side often means that the other side is more arrogant. The nobles of Cape Bay who were still hesitating immediately joined the Queen’s camp, and the imperial fleet that has been controlled by the temple has also fallen to the scholasticism. In addition to the sudden change of the Lions and Qiao Gendigang’s army to the south of the Evergreen Passage, the entire North was in a state of isolation and helplessness.

Although it is said that the White Legion, which is sticking to the north of the Evergreen Passage, has not yet expressed its position, the world knows their relationship with Her Majesty the Queen. In fact, the nobles on Ludwig’s side have long given no hope to East Metz. Even in estimating the speed of the White Army’s march, since the news from all directions has long been lost, they can only guess that Fattan Port may have fallen at this time, but they don’t know what the Huaye Ling can support, but the Duke Huaye has so far Still under house arrest in the imperial capital, it must be impossible to support him for too long only by relying on his two daughters.

In this way, Ludwig was fighting alone.

To make matters worse, due to the disappearance of the emperor’s eldest son in Eruin, the military aristocrats have lost their moral foothold. If it weren’t for the Silver Queen’s identity as the Dragon of Darkness, which led to the division of the temple, now they are estimated to have become a group of traitors. The thief.

Among the crowd, an old man in a holy robe sighed. Duke Weina looked at him and said angrily: “Bishop Randall, come on, don’t those damn tree drills and Yankees still With the mentality of profiting from the fisherman, don’t they understand what juncture is now? The mad woman called herself the Dragon of Darkness, intending to restore the Miner’s rule. She was blaspheming the sacred covenant, but those people turned a blind eye to it. , Really outrageous!”

Randall smiled bitterly: “It’s not to blame them, you and I are all witnesses of the last holy war, you should understand what happened at that time… It was really weird what I saw at that time, which made people feel compelled. Confuse.”

“But you are still standing here,” the Duke interrupted him heavily: “Rather than throwing into the arms of those rebellious parties, this shows that it is their weakness that is shaking.”

“Old man, you can’t say that, and I can’t prove that my choice is right, but I just don’t want to betray my beliefs for so many years.”

“There is no right or wrong in history, only victory and defeat,” the Duke waved his hand impatiently: “Since the people of Dark Iron took over the world, the war of the saints has been a thousand years, so history has been wrong for a thousand years. It is simply nonsense. Only a madman would believe such a statement, at least I would never admit it, and it would not let the dark mad woman easily succeed!”

“You are right, old man,” Bishop Randall sighed again. “What are you going to do now?”

“很麻烦，”魏娜公爵揉了揉额头：“军事上我们处于很不利的地位，那疯婆子手上有源源不断的底牌，那些乱七八糟的东西不知道从那个旮旯冒出来打得我们节节败退，南方还有狮人的大军，还有那些地下佬，不过我最担心的是斗篷海湾的帝国舰队，如果他们前往北海封锁航道，那这仗就真没办法打下去了。”

这番话说得帐篷中的一众人皆是愁眉不展，这也是最现实不过的事情，军事上原本掌握了帝国大半军事实力的北方贵族却被女王陛下打得节节败退，眼看就要丢掉整个西梅兹，而帝国舰队的倒戈更是给了他们致命的一击，如今北方的大部分补给都来自于北海外海航道，如果帝国舰队开往北方封锁这条补给线，那么这仗就真没办法继续打下去了。

魏娜公爵重重地拍了拍地图，说道：“我打算向龙族求援。”

“龙族？”

“这是个办法，”兰德尔主教眼皮下射出两道精光，“当年那件事巨龙也参与其中，而今那三头叛龙大张旗鼓地出现在地面上，龙族一定会对此有所表示，最起码让乔根底冈单方面撤军，否则有三头巨龙在敌人那边，对我们的威胁实在太大了。”

魏娜公爵点了点头。“这还不是关键，老伙计，”他淡淡地补充一句：“巨龙也不是傻子，它们早就有所动作了，甚至对这一切可能比我们知道得还更早一些。据我所知，在那疯婆子准备行动之前，它们派遣了一位使节前往帝国，不过那位使节并没有抵达帝都，可以说是晚了一步，如果时间上没错的话，这位使节一定还在帝国境内。”

“使节？”兰德尔主教有些惊讶地抬起头：“我怎么没听说过这件事，那是谁？”

“我也是无意中得来的消息，因为龙族最先联系的其实是皇长子，由此可见它们并不信任那疯婆子，至于它们派来的使节究竟是哪一位，我也并不知道，不过只知道，应该是一头银龙。”

“银龙……这规格很高啊。”

“这正说明龙族的重视。”魏娜公爵答道。

“那我们得赶紧找到这位使节大人才行。”

“我早就安排人手去找了，可惜暂时还没什么头绪。”

或许是公爵的提议激发了兰德尔的思路，这位主教忽然说道：“布加人呢？他们的立场常常与龙族一致，难道没有一点表示？”

Duke Wei Na was startled slightly, as if he was said to have something on his mind, his complexion became a little weird: “Speaking of these slippery heads, they have shown something…”

“Slippy? Show me something?” Bishop Randall didn’t notice his old friend’s face: “What do you mean?”

“It’s like this. I also suddenly remembered something about the Buga two days ago, and then I found out that they had removed all diplomats just before the crazy woman did it, but…” The Duke hesitated. After a while, continue: “But I left a letter to me. The meaning of the letter does not seem to support what the crazy woman did. I hope we can stand firm…”

“We insisted on our position. They took advantage for nothing, and wanted to be good, those damn wizards.” All the people in the tent suddenly cursed.

“To put it bluntly, I still want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight,” the bishop frowned. “But the Bugans have been around for thousands of years. They shouldn’t be so naive. Can’t they see that we are not Her Majesty’s opponent at all? , If this continues, we will lose sooner or later.”

“Don’t forget that being isolated from the world is their long-standing strategy.” Duke Wei Na replied lightly.

Randall nodded, but he always felt that it was not that simple. At this time, a messenger opened the door of the tent and walked in: “My lord, believe it.”

“Letter?” Duke Wei Na was taken aback, glanced at the reply letter from Faenza and Saint Osor in his hand, frowned and asked, “Whose letter?”

“I don’t know, sir, but the letter came from Fattan Harbor.”

“Fattan Harbor?” The Duke was stunned for a while before he remembered where this place was, not because the place was too small, but because he hadn’t expected it. He pointed to the letter and asked: “This is nothing. The letter from the Legion, what are they doing with the letter, huh, do you mean that you have to pervert?”

This remark is full of disdain and irony.

But the messenger shook his head honestly: “No, my lord, I’m afraid it’s not the letter from the White Legion. The messenger is from Eruin.”

“Eruin?”

Duke Wei Na was really taken aback now.
