The Amber Sword

The Hillman Valley has been turned into a place of ash, and the night is not yet clear. Under the moonlight, the Army of the Dead Spirit divides into several roads marching along the undulating hills, looking down in the direction of the river. Owl Town leaves only sporadic debris, countless bone skeletons circle from both sides of the town, and single-tuned clattering sounds echo in the wilderness. Between the long lines and the teams, the corpses are soaring, from which the corpse witches are picking out the intact remains and then reawakening them as warriors, and the cold wind blows in the narrow direction at night, as if with the gloomy spells they recite, making the atmosphere of the entire valley even more creepy.

Standing alone in the night wind, the blood wand was still pulled by the cold wind on the corner of the robe of the ghost eater. It glanced at a crippled corpse not far away. It should be a human militia. Judging by the wound, it should have died of fear on the hands, only half the body left. The hands still grabbed a sharp rock on the ground. It could be imagined that he must have desperately wanted to escape before he died, but the spirit tore his body with sharp claw teeth. It raised its head again, looking away at the valley, where the fighting was long over, where there was no living creature but a dead silence.

It was a perfect victory.

As if to witness that prophecy in the prophecy of darkness, the kingdom in the darkness of the East will rise.

“Those pathetic Eruin bastards must not understand why they lost so badly.” Behind the staff, a young man with a miserable white face, like a dead man, revealed his snow-white teeth and laughed. He did not have fangs, nor did he have ghost phosphorus in his eyes like a black knight. He did not have psychic fingerprints on his body, nor was he a wizard of death. He wore a neat black dress, like the one who had just returned from the funeral. He took a deep breath: “The taste of magic in the land is truly fragrant, and if it is the sea of the dead moon, only a true lord is entitled to such a territory. ”

He looked at the scepter again and shook his head with great regret: “I really don't understand why you can't beat such a weak opponent. I don't understand, but such a humble man is not qualified to occupy such a good land, and the kingdom will remain nothing but tombstones and graveyards. ”

The staff hummed coldly, and these dark lords came from the Sea of the Dead Moon, said to be more ruthless between the Dead Sorcerer and the Dead Sorcerer in those magically barren lands of the East, which is the place of the Fourth World War. But these untamed guys are really amazing. The spiritual wizards there invented the spell of the fear of extracting semi-entity semi-psychic bodies from the bodies of the dragons and the way to let the corpse wizard commander the skeleton knight. Their joining greatly enriched his army, and now Eluin is no longer in his eyes. In his view, neither the Southern Legion nor the Van Mir Legion is a strike, and only the Highland Knight is worth a fight.

“I hear there is a White Lion Legion in the north of the kingdom of mankind, so what if I don't know how to fight?” The young man turned back and asked.

“Once upon a time, but already defeated by the Southern Legion, the princess was told that the army belonging to her brother had been mutilated, and that the legion was now dead to the kingdom.” It was less than four months after Eruin's Civil War ended and the blood wand was not very clear about the details of that war, but even so, there were many rumours and the losers who had experienced World War I had flowed into a dark country, and he chose to believe what most dark lords now agreed to say.

“Then it's not worth mentioning. ”

The young man's contemptuous tone spread far along the night wind, above his head, below the stars and nights, a spirit was pounding through the night, behind it dozens of equally winged monsters, one head as a floating shadow, over the entire valley area. Overlooking the sky, the phosphorescent dots above the earth form a neat three dragons whose heads are passing through the Goran-Elson Passage into the Slovak region, which in front of them is already an endless lowland.

That's the capital of the province, in the direction of Fort Kurk.

But in the more distant eastern hilly and undulating areas, the edge of the forest is now standing on a small pedestrian horse, “One, two, three, four…” A row of fourteen people, standing on the horse, some waxy yellow thin teenagers are whispering the fire in the lower valley area, the nearest flame at this distance looks but the size of the nail cover, and further afield it looks like a bonfire's still burning Stars, these fire clusters are scattered all over the Hillman Valley, like beads in the night, and the teenager's face gets a little ugly, and he goes back to the others and says, “The White Wings Cavalry should be all over, Owl Town, Rodden, Mill Town, totally, I don't know how many people survived, I don't think, thumbs up. They just came back from Rodden the other day and said," The escaped. Not much. These people should all be dead. ”

“Can't you just say a few words less completely, that sounds harsh?” Young people still sitting on horses are a little upset. If they heard in the past that the whole army of the White Wings Cavalry Regiment had been destroyed, they would surely applaud each other, but everyone who saw such a scene with their own eyes felt a little unable to laugh. Every fire in the dark was countless lives, which forced them to think of their homeland. If it were true, as the Lord said, that one day the whole of Eruin might become like this, he couldn't help but feel a little chilly.

Everyone here at the moment was thinking the same thing, turning around and looking at the last young man in a vest shirt, Caglis was dropping the brass telescope in his hand and handing it over to a young officer from the White Lion Guard, who, after the Battle of Ambethel, had rarely seen the greenness of Tonigal, or a real soldier. He looked at these young men dressed like mountain men, some of whom were supposed to have been rescued from the Shaffrend mine by the Lord at the time, and Brando had told him that they were destined to be a foundational cause, and he had some disbelief, but now it seems that Lord Zhu Zhuang, the ability to see the future, is truly remarkable.

The young man, Kevin, took a group of them out of Chaffron and directly crossed Mount Grahar, attacking the mining area south of the Tosancad Forest when he left by the Southern Legion, where he dragged out a large number of aggrieved criminals and headed east into the hills of the Sylman area, where the mountain was the king, and although he could not escape the banditry scent, it had become increasingly climatic. The key was that the young man had chosen a group of bitter criminals who had been exiled almost entirely for offending the nobility, while the truly rugged, untamed man was unwanted, seemingly unwise, but carefully tasted, with other connotations. The young man was not easy, and Caglis quietly thought, “Mr. Caglis, what do we do now? Shall we go back first?” The young man riding on the horseback at this time asked.

“Shh -” Caglis put up a finger and compared it to the others.

“Something wrong? ”

Caglis nodded.

“Cover up! ”

A pedestrian hurriedly retreated from the open area at the top of the hill back into the forest behind him, and about a minute later, a shouting wind swept over his head. The young man hiding in the bush stared pale at the shadow that flew over his head, seven heads in total, flying back and forth. Caglis was the first to hold the horse from the ground, and the white lion officer next to him shook his head and said, "Not a white vulture, I've never seen anything like it before. ”

“Is it a dragon?” Young people chatter.

But Caglis held his mouth and shook his head. It's not a bone dragon. The bone dragon has the natural fear of the higher dead creatures. He has seen Aloz in Valhalla. It has some effect on the dragon creatures' mood. When those things just passed over their heads, he didn't feel any kind of panic from the bottom of his heart. Besides, as a bone dragon, those things are a little too small.

“Mr. Caglis? ”

“They seem to be looking for something.” Caglis replied, "and first look, in the hills they are not so easy to spot us. When the day comes, the dead will shrink their defenses, and it will not be too late to return. ”

……

More than a dozen skeleton knights are racing along the mountain path, the metal lock armor on the horse hits the noise in the night, and when the horseshoe hits the ground heavily, the sound is far different from the thickness and weight of a normal horse, but it appears to be somewhat hollow, like a sound coming from a ghost hell. In the valley they always look down, the orbits of the fire of the soul quickly reflected two human cavalry fleeing in that direction for half an hour, and the horse sitting on the horse was running out of support.

The leading skeleton knight pointed the understeel curve in his hand to the next point, a dozen horseman spirits immediately turned, rushed into the forest and chased it down the hillside. In this area, the hillside forests and shrubs were sparse, but still from time to time, the skeleton knight hit the tree and smashed his bones. However, the remaining spirit did not even look at his failed kind, and after passing through the woods that were nearly 100 meters long, he plunged them out of the grassland. Evan looked back and saw this scene. Under the moonlight, eleven skeleton knights were blinking green phosphorous flames out of the dark forest. He couldn't help but be frightened and scattered with a long gun and a machete on his bald arm, reflecting the cold light in the moonlight.

“Chenery, we're dead! ”

“You shut up!” Chenery didn't answer nicely, but he knew in his heart that he was going to die this time. These goddamn bone skeletons had no idea what endurance was, and they were going to chase it all the way to dawn, but it was a long time before dawn, after such a long run, and they were still in the mountains, and the horses they sat on could not last that long.

“Hey, kid.” Suddenly he shouted.

“Why?” Ivan replied angrily. He was pale and had a cold sweat on his forehead. As if he were suffering from a major illness, his riding technique was merely ordinary, limited to the extent that he was able to drive on a horse, but it was a miracle that the pressures of survival were now running through the mountains. But what happened here was enough to scare him, and if it wasn't for luck, he would have fallen down the hill by now or run over the tree and died.

“I go to draw them away, you run east, you go into the woods, you abandon your horses and run away, and when you get there, you'll be safe.” Chenery gasped, answering.

Juvenile heart jumped, he looked at the back of this old cavalry, almost didn't cry out, quickly shook his head firmly: “No, together, I was saved by you, how can I leave you to escape, I can't! ”

“If we can't do this, we have to die together, idiot.” Chaneli scolded.

“Die together, die together! ”

“Don't be stupid, we don't have to give them a double fight.” Chenery rebuked loudly, then added herself: "Well, although it doesn't necessarily mean anything to them. ”

“Then I'll draw them away. You saved me once, and I saved you once, and we're even.” Ivan replied. Chenery glanced at him and couldn't help laughing: "Don't be ridiculous, just because your crappy riding technique hasn't killed Martha has blessed you, you go and lure them away, and the end result isn't hanging up together.” Ivan was blushing, but he knew that Chaneli was telling the truth, and he couldn't say a word.

“Well, you still have a fiancée to see, but I have nothing to do with it. I'll pull a few cushions later. You can take my share and live with me.” The old cavalry shook its head: “Listen up, recruit, don't be so squeamish, like a woman, I tell you, I owe you more lives on the battlefield than you ate, now it's my turn to return my old comrades, go, live well. ”

Ivan stared at him, knowing that his heart had decided, and he bit his teeth so he could not cry, but he could not make a sound and nodded. “That's right.” Chenery seemed to be talking to himself, and suddenly he drew a sword from his waist and shouted, pulling the reins tight, turning around and killing the skeleton knights. The teenager seemed to have heard him shouting - for Eluin's sake. But with the wind, it seemed like a beast's cry.

He turned around and ran in a deadly hurry to the horses, but looked behind him at the smaller and smaller figure of Chenery. He rushed into the enemy formation, chopping a skeleton knight with a sword and then crossing between them. The simple skeletons of the heads were obviously shaken, and they hurriedly turned around and chased towards Chenery. Soon, neither side of the chase was traced.

But just a few seconds later, he heard a cry in the woods over there:

“Goddamn bone skeleton, go to hell! ”

“Rosa--! ”

Ivan coughed loudly, as if there was a spicy feeling between his lungs, but he understood that Chenery didn't have much time left for him, and those bone skeletons would soon catch up again, and he looked up and tried to find the forest that Chenery told him about. But there is only a wide mountainside meadow, a flat, slightly further away, somewhat sparse woodland, but it is impossible for this forest to escape the pursuit of Madara's dead spirit.

His heart hurried to drive the ride forward, bypassing a large forest, and behind the shrub appeared a more open grass, but at the far end of the grass, a layer of black carpet appeared.

It's the forest!

Ivan was happy, but then he felt a little bitter in his mouth, too far away, at least a few miles away, and he didn't even know if he could sit on this horse for so long. Suddenly there was an empty horseshoe behind him, and he felt something. He looked back and saw that several skeleton knights had appeared on the edge of the woods. There were seven before and after them, and Channelly alone killed four skeleton knights - but unfortunately he couldn't handle the rest, “No, you have to live!” Ivan bites his teeth and says to himself, "Now his life is not just his own, but his fiancée's as well, and Chenery's, and in any case, he has to do everything he can.

He clamped the belly of the horse and stabbed it under the belly of the horse so that it would be faster and wanted to pull the distance away. But the monsters behind them were also like floating ghosts. Both sides kept their distance for about a few minutes, and the forest in front of them was close to their eyes. But at this time, Ivan felt light-hearted, as if a tremendous force was coming from behind him, and the whole person vacated and fell heavily on the grass. He fell and had spicy abrasions all over his body and arms, but his brain was particularly sober to understand what had happened. He grabbed the dirt and climbed back and looked at it. He saw his horse fall to the ground and spit foam in his mouth, which was no good. Ivan couldn't help but scream, and the forest was a hundred meters away from him, but he didn't expect to end up losing his time. He tried to stand up and run forward, but he just stood up and fell on the ground again.

He rolled all over the ground and realized his leg was broken.

It's over.

Ivan's heart was gray, and the horrible riders behind him were getting closer to the bone horses they were sitting on, but he had to close his eyes to die.

But it was at this moment that a silver light suddenly flashed through the forest ahead. This silver light led Ivan to a slight glimpse, before he could react, and he saw the skull knight in front of him suddenly roll over his horse, his bald skull with a feather arrow still slightly swaying. The cold light in the forest is just the beginning, as if all of a sudden, a dozen black shadows leap out of the forest, a cavalry, but definitely not a white wing cavalry, because Ivan has seen those nearer and nearer cavalry under the moon glittering armor, the head of a lion gleaming on the armor.

The cavalry staggered past him, falling like rain, and the teenager was still in his dreams, and he remembered that he seemed to have heard of such an army there.

“Soldiers, let me attack and trample these bastards! ”

Caglis' roar, a time to sound the valley.
