The moon, perched firmly on the edge of the cross, shined a cozy night with a subtle light that seemed to embrace everything like a mother.
The constellations only represent themselves in their own light, as if each had its own story.
Even Mr. and Mrs. Albrecht Rosamund, even though they were the kings and queens of the most powerful kingdoms in the world, had stories like those stars.
The silver hair of Rosamund, who received the moonlight from the window, was as beautiful as the moonlight itself. Her eyes held the stars, but she was too young to speak.
I lay on my bed with Albrecht on my back in a slightly shiny silk pajama.
Albrecht lies motionless on the ceiling, propped up his back head with one hand.
“I'm going with you. ”
Rosamund said without even looking at his husband.
“I stopped the soldiers' families from following me, but I wouldn't be an example. ”
Albrecht explained why he didn't seem to expect much.
“As queen, I'm not following you as your wife, Albert. We follow them as senators. I'll take care of the wounded. ”
Although the queen is noble in taking care of the wounded, Albrecht has always disliked it.
Albrecht was frustrated and his wife was sad. I turned my head and looked at my wife's back.
“I understand the frustration, but what difference does it make? Whatever they say, I don't care. I'm on your side, no matter what she says. When did you say that? Even if all the Anglia soldiers are dead, I can't. So am I. I'll kill anyone who talks nonsense. ”
Rosamund did not respond immediately. After a short while, you hear a sighing sound. Her shoulders twitch.
“You're being punished. God has punished us both. If I don't save 4,000 people, this bee won't end. ”
Albrecht grabs her shoulder and pulls her to look at himself. Tears were pouring down on her beautiful face.
Tears were as glorious as jewels by moonlight and starry hordes themselves, but it was a worthless beauty for the couple.
“I don't believe in God. ”
Albrecht utters a blasphemous word about God without hesitation. Then I kissed my wife. Rosamund wept and hugged Albrecht.
It took Albrecht two months to summon the order and the whole army to assemble. Given the vastness of the kingdom, it was as fast as the speed of light as the ordinary lords of this world.
Another month turned into May, gathering simple drills, final checks and supplies.
Albrecht turned 25 after his birthday. Rosamund has not been able to stop him from following you, and is marching in a tumultuous rage. 10,000 men are pillaging beneath Bearburg.
A flag representing each family was blown out of the wind. It was still substantially all Albrecht's private army, but it was formally already Feudalist.
Hermann's flag is white, and a black bear looks to the left and gnashes its tongue. On either side of the bear, two swords were facing up and down, one representing the Vervantos sword received at the shrine from Albrecht, and one representing the Illudian sword received recently.
The flag of the Jurgen was painted with stars on a black base, with the sword lying to the side in the middle, and just white underneath. The Black in the middle also symbolizes the Illudian sword.
The flags of the sub-earls and barons also engraved symbolic symbols of their families.
Albrecht rides the Schwarz in front of them, revealing his face without a helmet on. Yurgen picks up the flag, and Herman follows behind with the axe.
Dozens of knights are under Richard's command, running around the soldiers, watching them closely.
The soldiers whose swords are so orderly and so vigorous, they roll their eyes and look at Albrecht.
After looking around roughly, Albrecht stands in the middle shouting for heavenly bodies to rumble.
“You haven't been able to fight a battle as long as you've been coming here! The enemy we are about to face! Violent Bedouins! Fight bravely! I will see with my own eyes how you fight! Don't let me down! ”
The soldiers shudder. It feels like Albrecht is a giant. Albrecht feels much bigger than the 10,000 of them.
The thunderous scream that seemed to tear the sky overwhelmed them, and the words, "I will watch over them," inspired me fearfully and strangely.
Albrecht wipes out 10,000 soldiers and goes to his mother, who is watching from afar. I saw Gisella, Cecilia, and her servants next to her.
“Albert, come closer. ”
When she called, Albrecht quickly stepped down and approached her. A wrinkled hand strokes his face.
Albrecht saw the eyes of his mother who resembled him. The mother kissed her son's cheek.
“Whenever you're tired, come to your mother. No matter what happens, you are my son, and you are the most precious thing in the world. Even if you become a demon, I'm on your side. Dear Albert, take care of yourself. ”
Albrecht lowers his eyes slightly.
“I understand, Mother. Bye.”
My mother and son hugged deeply and fell apart. Albrecht looked at Gisella and Cecilia and said,
“I beg you, Mother. ”
And then, without looking back, I snuck up to Schwarz. I ran to the west, leaving my mother behind.
Richard follows you with the knights, and Deputy Commander Randolph gives the march order. You hear the screams of the Knights and the infantry commanders from afar, behind Albrecht.
I've been running for a long time, but Schwarz has worn out faster than ever. Schwarz was never the same. It has been 10 years since Albrecht left CalTerre when he was a boy.
There may still be a lot of biological life left, but for a horse, it was almost at the end of its life. In the meantime, Randolph, who knows his horses well, manages the Royal Warrior's lineage.
In case you haven't noticed, Albrecht doesn't want to change what Schwarz thinks he's friends with.
I took a break in front and looked back. I looked up at the distance that no ordinary person could see. At the rear of his army, the Supply Squad is obscured.
Rosamund wears a white cotton cloth and is on his way with a troop of supplies. Peters, the bishop of Calteren, assisted her and was escorted by Wilhelm, Hroulf and Gunnar.
Wilhelm, Hrowlf and Gunnar failed to escort her into action.
Albrecht looked up at the sky for no reason. A puddle of clouds floats quietly.
Unlike Albrecht's sullen heart, the sky showed off its health with a fresh blue light.
If there is a god up there, he is mocking himself now. Albrecht felt the night sky.
If this is about punishing our couple, what is the punishment for their sins? You're the best at killing people, aren't you? I asked myself, but there was no answer.
To the west of Hamelstrom was a region called Zichmaringen. The northern boundary was blocked by rugged mountain ranges extending from the sky, and the southern boundary was blocked by a river originating from the mountain range, with a dense forest beyond the river.
Like Hamelstrom, Sieg Maringen was flowing throughout the region as rivers split, plus a lot of forests.
It was a restrictive environment to maneuver Albrecht's long term. But it wasn't that the mechanism was impossible at all. With the help of Rangers and Northern Warriors, it was possible.
As Albrecht rotates his scouts and gathers information steadily, it seems that there are more than one tribe within, but several tribes within.
Just because they live in the woods beyond the border, the people of the North Continent have captured them and called them Vidoukin.
They were originally always fighting and pillaging each other, but they also lived in a way that greatly invaded the surrounding area when one unified monarch appeared.
Since the invasion was stopped by the hero King Guillaume, the entire tribe has been pushed to the northwest by village according to Otto's suggestion.
Therefore, they did not invade under a military operation, so there were scattered tribes, and during this time, they started the Chuncheongjeon dynasty by fighting among themselves.
Albrecht thought it would take him 10 years to get it all straightened out. They surround themselves with clumps, annihilate them, besiege them, and destroy them.
I heard that Otto's allies are gathering at the castle in the Northern Mountains to fight back. Albrecht makes his way south because he has no intention of saving them. First, I decided to sweep their territory, known as the Horsas.
Rangers and northern warriors were sent to the forest, and knights scouted the front and sides along the way. And he led 500 knights deep into it.
As I was running along the road, I saw a large tree next to the road, and people were hanging from a branch and dying.
The intestines are all torn apart and the maggots are crawling over the corpse. The maggots are overflowing with open eyes.
“Fuck.”
One of the knights behind Albrecht utters a profanity without his knowledge.
Albrecht makes his way back through the Tree of Death. And pretty soon, it was rare to cut a man's head off and put it on a pole.
Even the heads on the poles had rotted long ago. Some were already skeletons.
It seemed like a public execution, rather than some religious ritual. Albrecht seems to have received an axe from Hermann in the imminent battle. And then I took a break and ran.
As the sun began to set, a blazing light filled the world. I'm walking around a dark hill, and I run into a crowd of dozens.
Most of the time, I was wearing thousand-pants on a top that came all the way to my thigh. He had a strap of straw around his waist or a leather strap.
The shoes were all wearing leather shoes, holding axes, swords, etc. What's unusual is that even the sling appears to be holding a weapon.
Among them, I saw a man wearing a cape, not wearing a coat, but just a chain of armor. He had a sword around his waist and was wearing a nose shade helmet. And surprisingly, I was riding a horse.
The weapons were not so crude, but rather crafty. Above all, it was hard to see them as wildlings on the outside. He was no different from the Northmen.
But it was clear that they felt strange and confident that they were Bedukind.
They all see Albrecht's golden armor and freeze. Especially when I looked at the veil, I knew it wasn't a person.
Albrecht lunges at them.
“I will pay for my crimes! ”
As the golden man races with a thunderous shout, the Bedukent warriors are in a deep slumber.
Albrecht lunges at the rider of the horse, a fierce axe that cuts from his shoulder to his opposite waist.
Then he rode off on his horse, crashing into the rest of the Bedouin Warriors, wielding an axe and killing them.
Herman and Eugene draw the Illudian sword. I swiped it from the side with a sword that was red due to the sunlight.
Fifteen of the Knights followed joined forces, but the rest of them were surrounded first.
It was because an ally could tangle if they ran into each other at the same time to reach 500. They were highly trained.
After Albrecht killed the warrior on horseback, it took less than a minute to strike down dozens of warriors.
Albrecht sheathed blood with his axe and took the sword of the rider Bedukent. A jewel was placed in the sword. It was spectacular. After roughly throwing it to a knight, you begin your move again.
Randolph's headquarters will slowly press into the Horsas' territory, freeing Albrecht from the surrounding villages and blocking the roads. Then I would spin out the ones that protruded on their own.
Albrecht had a hunch there was going to be a fierce battle. Albrecht's blue eyes tremble for a long time. Starting now. I'll kill every last one of them.
