The Amber Sword

After clearing her mind, Faina understood her situation, and the changes in the time that the sun had set over the past week proved that they were travelling north, that on several occasions she had heard the sounds of the ocean, that there were several sea lanes between Metz and Changqing corridors, which proved that the convoy was also travelling west, and that the convoy was likely passing through several provinces along the lofty Inland Sea to the west of the flower leaf collar, to the port there, and to take a boat to Tidu.

Day after day, life in the dark is enough to drive a normal person crazy, let alone bury a great deal of fear in her heart. Most of the time, she bends her feet, buries her head on her knees, and wraps herself around the corner of the car with her hands, as if to make herself feel a little safer. A day earlier, the convoy briefly stopped in a small town on a platform east of Naka-Fathan Harbour, during which she was able to ascertain where she was, and the information released by the guards indicated that the convoy was headed to the west end of the Changqing corridor and was also the starting point for East Metz, Fatan.

Earlier that day, she had heard the sound of the wave of the cliffs, which she had walked over more than once, but at that time she had come here as the Duke's daughter. Faina leaned weakly against the cold iron wall, her golden hair stranded against her pale face, her powerlessly lowered eyelids, her thick eyelashes slightly shivering, the sounds of gulls coming from outside the prisoner's car, some strangely, the roads were a little chilly, without the sounds of the merchants passing by, theoretically this should be the important land and sea hub of East Mets, the business travel was indefinite on a weekday, or was Rodney not planning to go to the port of Fatan, but rather they built a secret anchorage nearby.

All of a sudden the girls are creepy and these people are cautious enough to get here.

But this is not the case, the sun has just dispersed the mist between the straits, but the cliffs of the seamounts are covered with a light layer of water vapor, and closed between these misty vapors. Rodney quickly stopped the convoy and looked up at the soldiers with anchor crests on the walls of the city. This narrow mountain, built by the sea, is a line of defense on the outermost side of the port of Fatan, but on weekdays its gates rarely descend, but today it is rarely closed.

“It appears that the fighting provoked by His Majesty has affected this side.” Rodney thought that the news of the civil war had not reached those areas east of Metz, but, as Queen's envoy, he had first-hand news. He raised his head and shouted, "Open the door! ”

“Who are you people?” The soldier above the city building just came up and asked below.

“We are members of the White Legion. Our Lord has an urgent military mission to Port Fatan. I have sent someone to inform you earlier. Didn't you see?” The knight next to Rodney asked in disgust.

Soldiers upstairs rioted like they were measuring them to confirm their identities, a scene that made Rodney more sure of his thoughts - these guys didn't do so much loyalty on weekdays, and the so-called checkups were mostly to cope, or to take the opportunity to get some benefit. After a while, the people upstairs seemed to confirm the identity of Rodney as a pedestrian - after all, Rodney was accompanied by a true White Legion knight, a tall mountain dragon under his seat, a silver-squared special armor on the dragon, a white dragon emblem on the saddle seat with a battle flag, a long gun flashing, and an apparatus swooning, you could see at a glance that it would never be a counterfeit.

Soon, the gates rose squeaky.

In the darkness, Faina felt the cage wandering slightly and the convoy began to move forward again. She did not yet know what was happening in the east. Her mind was a little strange. She wondered why these people had not taken themselves to the secret port. Why were there such close guards against the narrow and city gates, even in the port of Fatan?

Brando, O'Neill, Roman and Charles are standing high on the observation deck watching the group cross the suspension bridge through the city gate. Brando pointed to the previous knight and introduced him to the other three: “The man is Rodney, Veronica's brother, the youngest son of the Duke of Erichiko, but this man has little skill. At best, it is a trick. After Ms. Veronica was placed under house arrest by the Silver Queen, this man won the queen's favor by demarcating the boundaries with her own family, and is now the envoy of Her Majesty. ”

“Erichiko's a hero, and I didn't expect it to come out like this.” The Duke wrinkled his nose rather crudely.

“You can't say that, this guy can still see the temperament of the trial, the power of great extinction, and do his best," Charles replied with a smile. “Lord seems familiar with this man? ”

And Brando couldn't help but wonder if, as an Eruin player, he was familiar with famous characters in the 'enemy’, but he was familiar with this man not only for that reason, and Rodney, as Charles said in history, was famous for his insight into the wind and rudder, and his fame made him as fish in the upper aristocratic circle of the Empire, when people called him Erie. The Hickos, who honored him and his sister Veronica as the backbone of the Erichiko family, who knew that this man was a complete cartilage, surrounded by the Maddala army at Fort White Eagle (located in Ludwig today) during the war of 411 years, who did not fight down and opened the city to the enemy, leading to the almost total demise of the White Legion, a famous scandal in the history of the Empire Even Veronica was implicated in the removal of the Erichiko family from the post of Commander of the Legion because of this prestige.

So for this famous traitor, it's really hard for players from future generations not to get familiar with his story.

But this weak, incompetent guy is an example of a pig teammate, but he's lucky to be an enemy. Fortunately, this guy's reputation doesn't show up now. Even the Silver Queen probably doesn't know what kind of virtue his newly dispatched messenger is. The misfortune of the enemy is his own fortune. Brando thought that Charles was right about one thing. If used properly, this is not only a big fish, but also a big fat, oily fish in front of him.

“You look like a dog, just a little worse than my Brando.” The merchant lady looked at the problem from an unusual angle and looked at it for a while before reaching the following conclusion. “Cough, cough!” Brando almost choked half to death by this saying, what does it mean to look like a pretty dog, Erichiko family genetic excellence, his sister Veronica was a famous Tito beauty when she was younger, Rodney herself inherited this lineage perfectly, is one of the most famous little white faces of the Empire, and this man is also a great fetish player, said to have * * unclear relationship with many Ladies of the Empire, in terms of appearance alone, Brando even knows herself, knowing that even a horse can't catch up with each other, presumably even Roman can say such words without hesitation.

He lost his temper and looked at the two people around him. He saw the Duke looking strangely at this side, and the wicked sorcerer's servant was even harder to hold his grin.

“If you want to laugh, laugh and breathe your internal injuries carefully.” Brando said softly.

“That's not necessary, hey hey Lord,” Charles chuckled. “There are people down there, it's not good to get their attention. ”

Ernie was finally a strict tutor and quickly shrunk her emotions. She shook her fists in her mouth and coughed softly: “I heard Her Majesty sent him to spy on the White Legion. Why did he suddenly appear in this place, who was in that cage? ”

“In one word,” Charles smiled, "there's a mermaid in there. ”

“Mermaid?” The Duke's golden eyebrows are so wrinkled.

“It's just a metaphor, that little beauty in the cage, who's actually the boss of the lord —— wow!” Charles screamed, a sword that sideways dodged Brando: “Lord, you really did it, those guys are still down there...”

“Shut up.” Brando replied coldly.

In fact, from the first glance at Rodney, he had already guessed who was being taken into custody in the car, and Fayna had written her a reply, which had clearly shown her willingness to go on. In fact, Brando had anticipated that she might be in trouble. The young lady had made the problem too simple. Since the Silver Queen had placed Veronica under house arrest and chosen to support Rodney as the next owner of the Erichko family, she had already explained many problems. How could Rodney possibly look at her help in the face of his sister, let alone the person herself as a complete little man?

Unfortunately, he couldn't even reply to the letter at the time, just didn't expect Rodney to crash into his own network after he grabbed Faina. And in fact Brando was wrong about Faina, the Silver Queen's information blockade on the east and north was much tighter than on the south, so he learned that Faina didn't actually get first-hand information, just as she didn't know at the time that Erichko and Silver Queen were involved.

Brando silently watched the carriage pass through the narrow confines of the harbour, and a slightly invisible rage appeared in his heart.

Whatever Rodney did, it touched his bottom line.

……

Rodney was finally relieved when the carriage finally boarded the boat and saw the bustling scene at the pier in front of him. In fact, he was well aware of his identity, more than his abilities, less than his own sister, more than anyone could possibly hope for, he was no match for the military nobility of the North, but he was more than loyal enough to His Majesty, and he reasonably placed himself in the rightful position of a benefactor. Now that he has corrected his position, there are things under the table that he has to do for His Majesty, not only to do, but also to do well, not to leave a tail behind, like this one, of course he knows that he will offend a large group of nobles, but it is at least much better for him to be a dwarf than for His Majesty to be a dwarf, because His Majesty will remember his credit.

As for those who had already done so, sin, and he knew very well what Her Majesty wanted to do, not less than the four wise men - no, it should be far better than what the wise men had done, and the decaying and ancient nobles turned them into ashes in the new flames.

The same goes for the Erichko family.

Rodney said to himself in his heart that there was nothing mustard about what he had done, and it was only natural that he should have something to live for.

With that in mind, he looked back at the caravan that was about to be transferred to the bottom of the cabin, and he knew very well the value of the young lady in the cage - His Majesty had done so in advance to establish a new doctrine on the ruins of the Temple of Fire, but after all she was not going to overthrow the whole empire. While the minded aristocrats of the North had proved totally unreliable, there were still more aristocrats watching, and His Majesty had spoken to him personally about how important these great aristocrats in eastern Metz were, and if they turned to Protestantism, Ludwig's old stubbornness would fall into a quadruplight, not to mention the main road to the Alkash Mountains.

Although it is not clear why Her Majesty attaches so much importance to the Alka region, East Metz must be in possession to enter the Alka region.

One of the most important pieces is the flower leaf collar.

The owner of Flower Leaf Lord today is Helix, the Duke of Flower Leaf, a hardliner and emotionally favored lord of the Lords of Ludwig, who lived at Erichko's house for quite some time when he was young and was deeply in love with the incoming Duke of Erichko, making it absolutely impossible for him to favor Her Majesty. The two sons of the Duke of Flower Leaf are also representatives of the military nobility, and the stubborn local faction is even less trustworthy. Finally, the daughter of the Duke of Flower Leaf, the eldest daughter Faina, is extremely rebellious, and is also a disciple of the Blue Sword Saint. These are not suitable candidates. Now the Duke and his two sons have been placed under house arrest, and this Miss Qianjin is secretly taken back to Didu. The remaining little princess, known as the 'Little Angel of Flower Leaf Collar’, since childhood, is cowardly and obedient. With her father, brother and sister as hostages, she is not afraid to disobey.

Once the Leaf Leader has fallen to the Queen, East Mets has basically halved, leaving the weaker lords, most of whom will no longer look.

And as for the return of the Minors,

Rodney was a bit of a jerk, what the hell. The world belonged to the Minors, and the Black Iron Nation was just stealing power, and Her Majesty was doing the right thing, putting power back in the right place. And she will be crowned a dark dragon as a Krutz, by which time the empire that reigns over the entire earth will be re-established, and the Krutz will be on an equal footing with the Minors, and the funny thing is that some people will not understand.

That is the cause of justice.

Faina felt cold and hungry.

Over the past two days, she had felt that the outside surveillance of the vehicle had grown tighter and that she had had time to breathe every day for the past few days, but she had been grieved and frightened by the fact that few outside people had opened the doors of the vehicle, even delivering food and water less often, only once a day in the evening. In fact, it was clear to Fayna that this was because they were close to their destination - that's what people are like, but whenever a thing tends to be done, to avoid a loss of power, it becomes more tense and focused, which means that she is not far from facing her fate.

The thought disturbed her.

She doesn't know what she will face, whether she will be directly executed in secret, taken hostage, or used as a chess piece for political union, something she has heard a lot about in the past, but she is not the protagonist, she just feels a little horrible, but today she feels a great anxiety grabbing her, making her unable to breathe. She seemed to see an abyss of darkness with blood and despair before her.

Faina shuddered on the cold iron wall, and those pieces of the past were repeatedly played back into her mind, when she was still the high princess of the flower leaf collar, deeply trusted by her father and His Majesty, wherever she was, she was the center of everyone around her, then she became a student of Veronica, went to many places with her teacher, once breathed free air, could no longer live in a cage, she once thought she was different from those of the canary noble ladies, weak they could only accept the fate arranged by others, and like a chicken she could choose her own future.

The facts proved her innocence, all her fantasies turned into shadows, and she felt as if she had been fooled by hope and then relentlessly abandoned.

Tears dropped on the floor like beads that broke the line, and the lady cried helplessly.

While crying, Faina remembered the days in the ring of the wind, which was the first time she had left the empire to venture, she thought it was the worst thing she had ever encountered in her life - an abominable hillbilly who had not only left her in the face, but had tried to teach her several times, and even His Majesty the Legion Commander couldn't do anything about him - but it was nothing worth mentioning when compared to what was happening at the moment, and now, in retrospect, there was a hidden feeling of warmth.

“It would have been nice to be back then...”

Faina was quickly surprised by the thought of herself and fell into a mourning of the current predicament.

“Brando... Brando...”

Faina had a fever, her hot forehead against the cold iron wall, and her mind couldn't help but think, as if these empty thoughts could allay her worries. She suddenly remembered that Brando had arrived in the empire, not too close to herself, but that he would certainly not know the situation he was facing, and that he might be able to help him and rescue his men. But his former high duke, Kim Kim, can't even protect himself now, his future and destiny become unknown, maybe he will die tomorrow, or steal his life, rather than die.

When he thought he might die without a name, he might not have been able to find out about his death. Perhaps many years later, he finally remembered himself and thought, ‘Oh, the girl named Practice Ina, who once had an adventure with her when she was younger, but unfortunately hadn't heard anything about her in a long time. ’

When you think of something like this, Faina's heart is hanging like a knife, and her eyes are getting dark.

Brando soon got word that Rodney's ship had left the harbour, and as he had expected, this guy had been cautious enough to keep a secret from even Baron Metz. This also allowed the guy to escape, otherwise when they entered the castle, Brando would order the net to be closed, and Rodney wouldn't even be able to fly with his wings in it. Alternative options are only available at this time, allowing fleets that remain offshore to block Rodney's ship.

He had not considered detaining the other party in the harbor, but he had just taken over the harbor and had not dispelled the suspicions of the middle- and lower-level officials in the harbor. At this time, it was unwise to regenerate the incident, not to mention that Count Olkons had not yet decided to stand completely opposite the Silver Queen. At this critical moment, Brando had to arrange the battlefield to sea for fear of hazing snakes.

But he wasn't afraid that Rodney would get away.

The battleship prepared by Rodney was one of the fastest ships in the Imperial Navy, but unfortunately such a prominent battleship docked in the harbour, and it was hard to fail to notice when the Eruins took over the harbour that Machauri first reported the prominent battleship to Charles - a method through which naval warships rarely acted alone, especially when such fast ships were typically used to convey information or to carry out any special tasks - and that they quickly found traces of the messenger Rodney sent to the port of Fatan, and it was in fact only through this method that they learned about the convoy.

So Brando had already arranged for a man on board to replace the quality of the magic crystal used as a power source for the floating warship, and to remove a part of the spare sail, and Rodney was anxious to leave the harbor, without actually scrutinizing it - in fact, he didn't expect to, because the warship had been docked in the harbor, and who would be in trouble with the Imperial Navy? And it's all long overdue for his ending.

Three Bugaflo battleships disguised as imperial patrol ships with red sails left the port early and awaited the arrival of the Rodney in the sea.
