The Amber Sword - 1527. Chapter 1526 Act 516 Holy Alliance IV
For the Cruz people—especially for the Cruz nobles, what happened in the previous few days is a bit more meaningful. This is a reincarnation after a thousand years. The King of Flame and Odyssey of the Holy Sword, the two brilliant names, have returned to the empire after eleven centuries.
It’s like everything started here, and it ends here.
For any Cruze, the return of this sacred honor is a symbol of extraordinary. It is not only a laurel, but more importantly, the return of ancient glory. But in this glory, there is a trace of unsatisfactory part-although after all is the de jure monarch of the Cruz people, the identity of the young man always reminds people of some unpleasant memories.
What the nobles have been unwilling to admit, 60 years ago, the best coalition commander in history-Earth Sword Saint Darus, has now returned to this empire in another way. The two generations of ancestors and grandchildren are now above their heads in a more prominent way, whether they like it or not.
But the Cruz people could not refute this.
Brando is the inheritor recognized by the Ring of the Most Flame, not to mention the relationship between the holy sword Odyspheus and him. Compared with the eldest son of the emperor, this Eruin is more like the one of Gilt, the King of Flames. Posterity.
Behind the emperor, not only was the support of the Great Holy See Vala and Bishop Sidney of the Palace of the Lions, but also the shadow of the traditional imperial power-the old prime minister Nidven, the Duke of Mehhothoven , The daughters of both of them have been in and out of the relationship with this majesty these days, so that outsiders can understand the relationship at a glance.
And even among the military aristocrats who support this majesty with the smallest voice, there are also outliers like Veronica. In today’s empire, the Blue Legion and the Broken Sword Knights can be regarded as a lot of power. But what is a bit surprising is that the Knights of Folding Swords come from the younger generations of various families. They seem to respect and admire the new Emperor Cruz so much that Brando has not really taken the throne, but The circle of nobility-especially the circle of wives and ladies has a lot of reputation.
Many young ladies are struggling to show themselves in front of the young emperor-if it weren’t for the little princess of the Mehhothoven family who was too protective of food.
Against this background, even though some people rarely complain, they dare not express it easily.
So in a calm situation, the Saint White meeting gradually became formal within a few days.
After all, people who come here are not concerned about the ownership of the title of King of Flames, but how to solve the current problems. After all, after witnessing the power displayed at dusk, everyone understands that the meaning of the existence of the Holy Alliance is exactly Civilized self-help.
This is the fourth day of the meeting-
The first speaker on this day was an envoy from a small country on the Great Plains. Just like the Banciaians, these small countries adjacent to Saint-Osor and Jiufeng are actually more culturally affected. The influence of the Buga; therefore, although they have not yet realized the impact of the Twilight War itself, they have endured the pain caused by the side effects it caused.
Eternal night comes, the wizarding war. People in most areas have not put themselves into consideration for the war they will face, and ordinary people in these places on the Great Plains have actually struggled to survive these two disasters.
在北方,半人马与班西亚人的入侵导致战火烧遍了几乎整个大平原,许多国家因为萨萨尔德人引发的巫师之战而彻底被摧毁,民不聊生。但在南方,境况更加悲惨,在永夜降临的索文一带,许多国家整个儿地毁灭了,要么流星火雨从天而降,或者就是整个王国化为永冬,一些地区在昼夜之间温度下降到冰点,居住在这些地区的居民往往一夜之间便冻死了大半。
因此相较起自己面对战争威胁的克鲁兹人,这些人反而要更加迫切地希望结束这一切,或者至少是得到外界伸出援手,否则大平原上的秩序随时都有可能崩溃。
那个使节正是来自于这样一个国家,他在自己的位置上慷慨陈词,所描绘的场景打动了许多人,九凤与布加人都愿意为这些人伸出援手——当然,后者更多地是出于补偿的心态。
“非常感谢九凤与布加巫师们的慷慨与无私,我们没有理由拒绝这样的善意,”那个使节躬身行礼道:“不过我们来到这里,这个会议场上,当然不仅仅是为了乞讨——无意冒犯,我将之称之为乞讨,是因为我们的确已经走到了这样一个绝境。人是首先需要考虑生存才能拥有尊严的,但因为种种原因,我的国家,我们的国民们已经失去了这样一个资格。”
“不过正因为我们仍旧迫切地希望重新得到这个资格,所以我想请教一下,这场战争对于我们来说意味着什么?它究竟来自何方,会持续到什么时候,我们的敌人真正是谁,我们又要怎么去应对?我想在座有许多人和我一样,都迫切想要得到这样一个答案。”
他说完,向众人行了一个礼。
人们情不自禁地鼓起掌来,并不因为对方自称‘乞讨’而产生任何的轻蔑之意。相反,许多人只感到感同身受,甚至是克鲁兹人心中亦有着同样的戚戚然,虽然他们还未沦落到这个境地,但寄人篱下的日子显然也并不好过。
当无序开始蔓延的时候,人们的活路越来越少,一种迫切的希望督促他们来到这里,来到曼克托尔。
因此这也正是这样一场会议的意义所在。
The young prime minister Nidevon stood up and replied: “I think our main threat is undoubtedly the dragon of twilight. I believe I don’t need to repeat the legend about it. After all, many of us I grew up listening to the poem of the blue. But because of the selfless sacrifice of the sage Ellanta, the source of all evil is still sealed outside the elemental boundary, so the enemy we are facing at present is still essentially It’s its minions—”
“The minions of the Twilight Dragon, we have heard some rumors on the way here,” a white city envoy stood up and asked: “But we know very little about them. Elves, are the wizards of Buja willing to share information?”
“This is a matter of course.” Niedervan replied: “At present, the main enemies faced by the Cruz people are crystal clusters and nightbirds. In the battles in some areas of Eruin in the south, it is said that there have been nohs. In addition, it is well known that the demons are also the minions of the Twilight Dragon.”
“There are also cultists and monsters.” At this moment, a person suddenly spoke.
Everyone turned their heads back and was surprised to find that it was the newly appointed King of Flame who had been sitting in the center of the round table, the Emperor of the Cruz people, and Count Tonigel from Eruin.
Brando didn’t mind these strange gazes. He continued: “Cultists, all things are back together, Silver Sky Snake and Tree Shepherd, have suffered a lot of vitality during several wars. It is not a concern in a short period of time. ; But the trends in the Black Forest are still worth noting. The monsters originally came from the bronze clan, but they were invaded by the twilight. They are no longer citizens of the world of order and become our enemies.”
“Honorable Lord of Flames,” another person stood up and asked, “Is your word reliable? I’m talking about the part about monsters.”
Brando nodded without hesitation. If other people are only aware of the abnormal movement of the monster, then he has no doubt about it. In history, whether it is a wolf disaster or a precursor to the coming of a crystal cluster, the monsters are all The vanguard of the magic tide, the Twilight Dragon cannot give up such a chess piece.
But there is no doubt that not everyone believes his words.
In the eyes of most people, Brando was able to become the King of Flames because his title of Emperor Cruz is legally consistent with the status of the successor of the King of Flames Gilt; but few people really thought about it. Why did this Eruin get such a title?
Of course, they will not even think about why this young man is recognized by so many people-especially the recognition of the four empires and the Buga. The standing envoy also gave Brando a hesitant look. Although he did not express his suspicion on the face, it was nothing more than the respect he deserved for an imperial emperor.
Brando was very calm about everyone’s attitude.
He chose to come to this position, naturally, not to enjoy the glory and attention that this position provided him, and what the Emperor Cruz’s halo can provide him is actually just some empty vanity. As the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces-he is different from his grandfather Darus-arranging troops is not what he is good at. Moreover, Brando can’t really direct the battle. There are many people who are more professional than him.
Brando is very clear about his advantage, that is, his vision is forward-looking. In this meeting, he understands the meaning of this war better than anyone; therefore, he also understands better how he should integrate these complicated countries and organizations. Integrate with people.
It is precisely because of standing higher that you can see farther, understand where the end of the road is, and also know what kind of coalition Vaughan needs.
The people looked at each other, the envoy was a little bit unable to come to Taiwan-he made it clear that he didn’t believe Brando said, but he couldn’t directly question it. Seeing Brando didn’t mean to sit back, he could only bite the bullet and asked: “Then your majesty, you How much do you know about the minions of these twilight dragons?”
He thought Brando would retreat, but he didn’t expect the latter to smile slightly and talk freely: “I have talked about cultists and monsters before, and I especially want to remind you-especially in countries close to the Black Forest. , We must beware of changes in the Black Forest and add more outposts and patrols; for St. Osor, the southern part of the White Mountain area and the border of the Black Forest near the direction of the Alkash Mountains are the top priority. My suggestion is to dispatch two legions to these two places separately, don’t worry about the forces involved, because it’s necessary.”
The wind elves obviously disagree with this proposal, but Lord Lorrindell and their future crown prince have no objection, especially Aruta, who wears the ring behind the wind, nodded slightly. Naturally, the wind elves nobles will not stand. Get up and quarrel with a regent, a future king.
But the envoy was not from Saint Osor, so don’t worry about these reasons. He frowned and said, “But your majesty, in fact, we are more concerned about other issues.”
“I understand that people are always full of fear for the unknown,” Brando nodded in agreement. “As Mr. Niedervan said earlier, demons, crystal clusters, night worms and nohs are the most powerful under the dragon of twilight. The four powers of, but they don’t stop there. The Fenrir clan representing the power of destruction has truly served as the pioneer of the Twilight Dragon in previous wars.”
He stopped for a while before continuing to speak: “Fortunately, in this war, due to the betrayal of its leader, Asis, the giant wolves may no longer appear in the Twilight Battle—even Is on our side.”
“what!”
Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
In the blue epics of the past, the giant wolves are one of the most powerful enemies of the order side; they are the incarnations of the magic moon, representing the power of destruction. Where the giant wolves are infested, the power of Tiamat is often affected. Suppress to a minimum. It is described in the myth that the giant wolves swallow the sun and the moon, and their results are also the most glorious among the twilight tribes. Not only are the giants defeated in their hands, at least three of the golden tribes are destroyed at the tip of Asis. Under the tooth.
If they betrayed, the significance of this news is not trivial.
The envoy also felt unbelievable, and subconsciously asked: “Esis has betrayed the Twilight Dragon. Your Majesty, are your words reliable?”
After he said these words, he realized that he had made a mistake, and quickly apologized to the Cruz people.
Instead of Brando, the answer was a female wizard leader from Bugga.
It was Adjani who spoke. The silver queen who represents time replied: “Your Excellency King of Flames did not boast. Our news comes from some special colleagues, and they sent this news back from Brunozon.”
It was a witch, and people reacted. It is well known that witches are the waiters of the Moon of Magic. No one knows Asis and his daughters better than them. It seems that the authenticity of the news is almost beyond doubt.
But people still have questions: “But are the witches reliable?”
After all, witches often appear in the mortal world with more negative news. Although this is a battle of order, everyone except those fanatics can be said to be colleagues and comrades in arms; however, under traditional thinking, temporary The idea is difficult to reverse, so it is inevitable that people will ask this question.
“女巫们致力于从混沌之中提取黑暗的魔力,正如同玛达拉的亡灵巫师一般,因此人们才会对她们心生疑虑。加上黑暗魔力往往会浸染人心,导致一些女巫的行为异于常人,因此更加深了这一猜忌。但事实上女巫们一直以来都致力于对抗黄昏,先贤们从数个时代之前便开始谋划这场战争,女巫们正是应运而生,今天你们看到埃希斯的背叛,其实并非偶然,不过是一直以来努力的结果而已。”
巫师之王所罗门忽然开了口,对众人回答道。
连续两位布加人的巫师领袖出来为布兰多解释,显然有些过于震撼人心,以至于众人一时间都有些愣神,忘记了继续发问。
那个使节微微向两人鞠了一躬:“原来我们一直以来都对女巫们有所误解,受教了,女士。”
但另一个人马上站了起来:“那么恶魔呢?”
“恶魔不过是黄昏族裔中最弱的一族而已。”布兰多立刻答道。
这话立刻在人群中引起了一阵窃窃私语。恶魔是凡人们最熟悉的黄昏之族,它们的强大毋庸置疑,许多国家正是因为这些可怕的怪物而毁灭,而人类甚至从来没有真正攻入过恶魔们的领土。
而它们在这位年轻的炎之王的口中,竟然是最弱的?
人们难免产生了新的怀疑。
“陛下,你会为你的话负责吗?”那个人不依不饶地问道。
这已近乎于直接的质疑了,布兰多还未开口,一个牙尖嘴利的声音便已经响了起来:“我想没有人比他更有资格为这句话负责。”
众人回过头去,看到小母龙阿洛兹不知道什么时候爬上了自己的椅子——站在自己的椅子上,个子矮小的她才比其他人高出一头来:“你们当中有几个人真正见过恶魔,与恶魔打过交道?但是在你们面前的这个人,就在三年前,亲手将恶魔的大军赶回了焦狱之下!”
“我要提醒你们的是,恶魔在安培瑟尔的入侵是在万物归一会的一手策划之下进行的,炎之圣殿作为旁观者也记录了那一战,这不是什么不着边际的传闻,而关于那次入侵本身,或许布加人最有发言权。”
She looked at Solomon, and the wizard king nodded blankly: “It can be known that the scale of the invasion was not small, but the news about it was rare. Therefore, the demon invasion was a rare occurrence that was prevented. The invasion in the place where I took place. I once said that Lord Brando is a hero. This is not a compliment, but because he is worthy of this honor-he has personally put an end to a medium-scale demonic invasion.”
The envoy stayed in place.
Everyone also showed incredible looks. They have heard a lot about the rumors of demons invading and destroying the country. If it were not for the joint intervention of the Bugans, the Temple of Flame and the Temple of Wind Queen in the Silver Bay area, it would have become even more Many people still remember the terrible disaster.
And what kind of heroism is needed to turn the tide alone in such a desperate situation?
Many Eruins at the meeting even showed a proud look on their faces—many of them were witnesses of the year, personally participated in the war, and witnessed the birth of the miracle in the rain. The heroic glory of that day has become a monument erected in the hearts of the Eruin people today.
The Baicheng envoy who sat back couldn’t help standing up again at this moment, and bowed deeply to Brando.
This is a courtesy to heroes.
Brando accepted it calmly.
Not only because he has this qualification, but more importantly, he has this need. He glanced at Little Mother Dragon and Solomon with some gratitude, but he had to turn the halo that he had imposed on him into a real right to speak-and this was exactly the original intention of his standing up to answer this question.
The meeting place became quiet.
“Then your Majesty the King of Flames…do you still know more about the demons?” the envoy stammered before.
Brando didn’t mind the other party’s previous offense, but calmly replied: “Although the demons are powerful, the demon lord died as early as the fourth war, leaving the seven demon kings in their own right. For this reason, their threat has been reduced to a minimum in the constant internal friction.”
“But in the previous Cruz War, wasn’t the root cause of the war that the demons invaded Qiaogendigang and caused the migration of Qiaogendigang people on the surface?” someone in the crowd asked.
“That’s just a side word of the Dragon Queen. In fact, the demons just invaded the tip of the ashes and occupied the territories of the dark elves and Medusa. They are still very far away from the real Qiaogenjigang. The migration of the Qiaogenjigang people is not so much. It was caused by the devil, so it was the Dragon Queen’s plan, and everything was just a lie.”
Brando paused: “Of course, the demons’ abnormal movements are not without roots, but because they feel that a demon king in the surface world is about to be resurrected.”
“A demon king in the surface world?”
“It was Akentu, the demon king. In the Battle of Azure, the demon suffered heavy losses. Several demon kings died one after another. One of the most powerful demon king Akentu was killed by the Buga. The dragons joined together to seal the world of stagnation. But after tens of thousands of years, the seal has begun to loosen. Therefore, the demons, under the guidance of their servants in the surface world, the Sheep Head Cultist, initiate Attack of the Ashtip.”
For many people present, these secrets were the first time they had heard of them, and many of them couldn’t help showing their surprised expressions. They obviously did not expect that this young Lord of Flame would be so knowledgeable. If they were not convinced of the identity of the other party, many people would think it was a Buga who was telling them all this.
“Then the Demon King, if the seal has been loosened, will it pose a threat to us?” someone asked.
“This is nothing to worry about,” Princess Magdal stood up and replied actively, “Because it is already dead.”
“Dead?” The man was stunned.
“Akentu died in the stagnant world, and it was done by Mr. Brando himself, where we regained the natural gem-the green soul of the holy sword. I have experienced all this and can testify.” Magdal The princess replied calmly.
“I have experienced all this personally,” Aloz said hastily, “the dragons can also testify.”
The Buga also nodded. As the sealers of Akantu, they were naturally the first to perceive what happened in the world of stagnation.
The venue first became quiet, and people looked at Brando’s eyes finally a little strange. It seems that until this moment, they did not recall the scene when Brando won the throne of the Flame King-no wonder there will be so many countries and forces behind him to endorse him.
This kind of curiosity is often on the surface, but it is enough to prompt people to learn more about the life of the King of Flames.
“To be able to kill a demon lord, then at least it must be a sword saint, right? So young?”
“That’s not surprising, I heard that this King of Flame is a descendant of the Earth Sword Saint, and his grandfather is a true Extreme Sword Saint.”
Extreme Sword Sage, people are sucking in air-conditioning. For most people, that is the limit of Lilang they perceive.
But someone said: “Have you never heard of it? Not only his grandfather, but his teacher is also the Great Sword Saint, Grey Sword Saint Mephistopheles.” This is undoubtedly a statement from a Cruze.
Rumors like this began to grow more among the whispers.
However, it is the Eruin that can provide the most accurate information. After all, the life of the Lord Earl has become three-dimensional and rich through various rumors in all aspects of Eruin.
The two Black Rose battles have saved a kingdom several times.
Afterwards, in the different eyes of everyone, he walked away like a real noble knight, leaving only a crown for his student and his beloved Princess.
If killing the Demon King is only a manifestation of power, then everything about him in Eruin is a true legend.
In this era when most people have romantic feelings for the true way of knights, such deeds are often more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. What people miss is not only the light and the shadow of the sword, but also the love and hatred behind it. And a living, flesh-and-blood Lord Earl, with regard to his love, ideals and beliefs with Princess Griffin, it is often easier to make imprints in people’s hearts.
A person with great power will be respected by people. But a person with ideals and beliefs can be truly respected by people.
Brando is naturally far from being a sage, but the selflessness he left to Eruin, he also hiked to shine in this era. In a sense, he even replaced the emperor Eke’s position in the eyes of the Eruins.
And this is the rare thing, even the Cruz people have a trace of respect in the eyes of their new emperor.
Not to mention other people.
“This is the character of a real sword user,” Mr. Liu sighed, with a look of admiration: “His Royal Highness, we did not expect Rosalin and his party to meet such a hero.”
Huang Huo nodded earnestly, and in her mind she had already believed that her teacher was the best person in the world.
Beside the two of them, Fang Qi sighed heavily. He looked in the direction of Delphine, and finally shook his head.
Among Torquinin’s lions, Nair Fisher looked at the holy sword in front of him with a shame on his face. And a person came to it quietly and said to the lion prince: “His Royal Highness, Mr. Brando’s deeds are rare in the world, but there may not be only one hero.”
“You’re right,” Neel sighed, and replied, “Miss Tix, but I am not frustrated, but ashamed. Heroes should never move forward, but I should be jealous of a real knight. , Making myself look like a villain.”
“Then be more frank. You may not be forgiven. The brave are not only brave when facing the enemy, are they?”
The Lion Prince nodded: “You are right, Miss Ticks, I will do that.”
The human girl smiled slightly: “This is what I admire about you, Your Highness.”
People have been impressed by Brando, and naturally they will no longer question what he said. Some people took the opportunity to ask: “Then how can we win this seemingly desperate war, Your Majesty?”
Someone asked: “Can we really defeat the Twilight Dragon?”
In front of a powerful enemy, it is inevitable that people will have doubts, not wanting to surrender, but not seeing hope.
But Brando shook his head: “If the Twilight Dragon is really invincible, we don’t need to wait until today’s turn to take over the war.”
“But today we are just a group of mortals,” the man asked, “In this era when Warend’s order power is most declining, how can we defeat enemies that even Martha has not defeated?”
Brando stood up.
He looked at everyone.
“Our world is constantly bleeding, and the war with the dragon of twilight has left us scarred–”
“In the past era, we have witnessed the passing of many heroes, just like those stars that guided us in the darkness, extinguished bit by bit. What is left, seems to be a hopeless, bleak The night sky, above the pitch black that stretches across the sky, even the gods have lost hope.”
The venue was quiet. People were attracted by Brando’s actions and surprised at his words. Everyone looked up to see what the young King of Flame had to say.
“but–”
Brando raised his voice: “We cannot deny the efforts of the sages. What they have exchanged for us with the deepest despair is not a real, bleak future-the price paid by the world of order. And why isn’t our enemy like that?”
“…The Lord of the Devil died under the Sword of Verdure, and the Mother of the Nightmare also has no corpse in the glow of the Holy Spear Sky. And the first generation of witches in the world of Order, her existence is already untestable today. Perhaps she has turned into a ghost of history, but it is what this ghost left behind that now makes Esis also betrayed her master. Those of us once the most powerful enemies have also fallen one by one. ”
“Now of the five lords under the Dragon of Twilight, the third is gone; we have lost the lonely and vast night sky with stars before our eyes, but it is not a sign of the arrival of eternal night, on the contrary–”
Brando replied word by word: “The reason why the stars disappear one by one is because the dawn is about to come.”
