The Amber Sword

What happened in the previous days was somewhat extraordinarily profound for the Cruz people - especially the Cruz nobility. This is a turn a thousand years later, the King of Fire and the Holy Sword Orphis, whose glorious names returned to the Empire after eleven centuries.

It's like this is where it all started and this is where it all came from.

For any Cruz, this return of divine honor is a symbol of extraordinary, not just a laurel, but, more importantly, a return of ancient glory. It is only in this glory that there is a slightly unsatisfactory part - although it is ultimately the legal monarch of the Krutz, the young man's identity always reminds people of some unpleasant memories.

The nobles have been reluctant to admit that, 60 years ago, the finest commander of the coalition in history, St. Darius the Sword of the Earth, returned to this empire in another way. The ancestors and the grandchildren are now above their heads in a more pronounced way, whether they like it or not.

But the Cruz cannot refute that.

Brando is the heir to the Holy Order of Fire, not to mention the relationship of the Holy Sword Odyphus with him, which is more like the descendant of Gilt, the King of Fire, than the eldest son of the King.

Behind His Majesty the Emperor, not only the support of His Holiness Walla and Bishop Sidney of the Lion's Holy Palace, but also the shadow of the traditional imperial faction - Old Chancellor Nederweyn, Duke of Mehotofen, the two men's thousand gold - has been paired with His Majesty for these days, telling outsiders to see the relationship.

And even among the military nobles who support His Majesty with the least voice, there are such different kinds of people as Veronica. In today's empire, the Legion of the Blue and the Knights of the Folds are quite a force. But what is surprising is that the Knights of the Folds came from the younger generations of the various families and seemed to admire and admire so much the new Emperor Cruz that Brando, though not yet truly on the throne, has gained a lot of fame in the aristocratic circle - especially in the circle of wives and ladies.

A lot of Miss Thousand Kings have been holding their breath trying to show up in front of the young Emperor - if not for the little princess of the Mehotofen family, who is far too protective.

Against this background, even if some people have few complaints, they do not dare to reveal themselves easily.

Then, in a state of calm, the Holy White Conference gradually became formalized within a few days.

After all, it is not the title of King of Fire that people come here to care about, but how to solve the problem at hand - after all, after witnessing the power of the dusk demonstration, everyone understands that the existence of the divine alliance is the very salvation of civilization.

This is the fourth day of the meeting ——

The first speaker of the day was an envoy from a small country on the Great Plains, and like the Bansians, these small countries bordering St. Osor and the Nine Phoenix were actually more culturally affected by the Buga; thus, they had not yet experienced the effects of the Dusk War itself, but had suffered the side effects it had caused.

Everlasting Night Comes, Wizard War. People in most areas had not been in a position to consider the wars they were about to face, and ordinary people in those places on the Great Plains had actually struggled to survive in those two catastrophes.

In the north, the invasion of the half horse and the Bansians led to the burning of almost the entire Great Plains, and many countries were completely destroyed and the people were silent as a result of the war of wizards waged for the Sassards. In the South, however, the situation is even more tragic, with the entire land of many countries devastated by everlasting nights in the vicinity of Sowen, either by meteorological rain falling from the sky or by the entire kingdom turning into eternal winter, with temperatures dropping to freezing point between day and night in some areas, where residents often freeze to death overnight.

Instead of the Krutzis themselves facing the threat of war, these people want to end all of this more urgently, or at least to get help from the outside, otherwise the order on the Great Plains could collapse at any moment.

It was from such a country that he made his generous statement in his place, portraying a scene that touched many people, and the Kowloon Phoenix and Buga were willing to help them - the latter, of course, more out of a compensatory mindset.

“Thank you very much for the generosity and selflessness of the Jiufeng and Buga wizards, we have no reason to reject such goodwill," the envoy bowed in courtesy, “but here we are, in this room, not just for begging - no offense, I call it begging, because we have indeed come to such a desperate end. People first need to think about survival in order to have dignity, but for various reasons my country, our nationals, has lost such a qualification. ”

“But precisely because we are still anxious to regain this qualification, I would like to ask what this war means for us? Where does it come from, how long does it last, who our enemies really are, and how do we respond? I think that many of you, like me, are eager to get such an answer. ”

He finished and offered a salute to the people.

People couldn't help but applaud each other, not for calling themselves‘ beggars’. On the contrary, many feel only empathy, and even the Krutz have the same relatives in their hearts, and while they have not yet fallen into this position, it is clear that the days under the fence have not been easy.

As disorder began to spread, people were living fewer and fewer lives, and there was an urgent hope to urge them to come here and come to Manktor.

So that is exactly what such a meeting is all about.

Little Chancellor Niedervin stood up and replied, "I think our main threat, undoubtedly, came from the Dragon of Dusk - and I believe I no longer need to repeat the legend of it, after all, many of us grew up listening to the poem of heaven. But because of the selfless sacrifice of the wise man, Lord Ellanta, the source of all evil is still sealed beyond the boundaries of the elements, so the enemies we are facing today remain essentially its claw teeth -"

“Dusk Dragon's claw teeth, we've heard rumors on the way here," a White City envoy stood up and asked, "but we don't know much about them. Don't we know if the Krutz and the elves, the wizards of Buga, are willing to share information? ”

“It's natural.” The main enemies of the Krutz are now clusters and nightmares, "replied Nederweyn." Apart from the fact that the Netherworld is said to have emerged from fighting in some areas of Eruin in the south, the demons are known to be the claws of the dragons of dusk. ”

“There are also cults and monsters.” At this moment a man suddenly opened his mouth.

Turning back, everyone was stunned to find that it was the new king of flames, His Majesty the King of the Cruz, who had been sitting at the centre of the round table, from Count Tonigle of Eruin.

But Brando did not mind these unusual eyes, he continued: "The cult, the returning of all things, the Silver Snake and the pastoralist, have been devastated in successive wars for a short period of time and are not worried; but the movement in the Black Forest is still noteworthy, the monsters originally from the Bronze clan but infected by dusk, are no longer the children of the world of order and become our enemies. ”

“Dear Lord of Fire,” another man stood up and asked, "Are you sure about that? I mean the part about the monster. ”

Brando nodded his head without hesitation. If others had only some perception of the monster's movement, he had no doubt about it. Historically, whether it was a wolf disaster or a herald of clusters, the monster was the vanguard of the magic tide, and the dragon of dusk could not give up such a piece of chess.

But there is no doubt that not everyone believes him.

In most people's view, Brando was able to become King of Fire because of his title as Emperor Cruz, which was legally justified as Gilt's successor to King of Fire; but few people really thought about why this Eruin was given such a title.

And of course, they won't even think about why this young man has so much in common - especially between the four empires and the Bukas. The standing envoy similarly looked at Brando with some hesitation, although he did not express his suspicions in the light, but only with due respect to His Majesty the Emperor of an Empire.

Brando is very frank about people's attitudes.

He chose to come to this position, naturally not to enjoy the glory and attention it offers him, but what Emperor Cruz can offer him today is just some empty vanity. As commander of the Allied Coalition - unlike his grandfather, Darius - the platoon is not very good at it, not to mention that Brando cannot really direct the battle, where more people are professional than he is.

Brando is well aware of his advantage, which is the forward-looking nature of vision, where he understands more than anyone what this war means; so he is also more aware of how he should integrate these intricate countries, organizations and people.

It is because of higher standing that we can see further, understand where the road ends, and know what kind of coalition Warnde needs.

People looked at each other, and the envoy didn't come down —— he made it clear that he didn't believe Brando, but he couldn't question it directly. Seeing Brando didn't mean to sit back, he had to scratch his head and ask, “So, Your Majesty, what do you know about these dusk dragon claw teeth? ”

He thought that Brando would retreat, but did not expect the latter to smile and talk: “As I said earlier, cults and monsters, I would like to remind you in particular - especially in countries close to the Black Forest - of the need to guard against any movement in the Black Forest and to increase the number of posts and patrols; and for Saint Osor, the southern part of the White Mountain area and the border strip of the Black Forest close to the Alkash Mountains are of paramount importance, and my suggestion is to deploy two regiments to each of these two locations, without fear of involving troops, because of this necessity. ”

The Pokémon obviously did not think so, but Lord Loringdale and their future Crown Prince had no objection, especially as Aruta, who was wearing the ring after the wind, nodded slightly, and the Pokémon nobles naturally did not stand up and sing the opposite to a Regent and a future King.

But the envoy is not from St. Osor, so don't worry about it. He frowned and said at his discretion: "But, Your Majesty, in fact, we are more concerned about other issues. ”

“I understand that there is always fear of the unknown," Brando nodded in agreement, "and as Mr. Nedevin said earlier, the demons, the clusters, the nightworms and the Netherworld are the four most powerful forces under the Dragon of Dusk, but it is not just that, in all wars, the Dragon of Dusk has truly been the vanguard of the Fenrir clan, representing the power of destruction. ”

He stopped for a moment before continuing: “Fortunately, in this war, because of the betrayal of its leader, Ashes, the giant wolves may no longer appear in the battle of dusk - even on our side. ”

“What!”

Someone in the crowd shouted.

In the epics of the heavens of the ages, the giant wolves were one of the most powerful enemies of one side of order; they were the incarnations of the Moon of Magic, representing the power of destruction, and where the giant wolves lay, the power of Tiamat was often minimized. The mythology describes the giant wolves devouring the sun and the moon, and their battle is also the most glorious of the Dusk tribes, not only because the giant tribe was defeated in their hands, but also because at least three of the Golden Nation were destroyed under the pointy teeth of Esis.

If they betray each other, the message is of little significance.

The envoy was equally unbelievable and asked subconsciously: "Is your word reliable, Your Majesty, that Essex betrayed the Dragon of Dusk? ”

He realized that he had lost his word and hurried to apologize to the Cruz side.

Instead of Brando, a Buga female wizard leader answered.

Asked by Aghani, the Silver Queen of Time replied: "His Excellency the King of Fire did not exaggerate. Our message came from a number of special colleagues who returned it from Bunoson. ”

It's witches, people react, witches are known to be the waiters of the Magic Moon, and no one knows more about Esis and his daughters than they do, so the truth of the news seems almost beyond question.

But the question remains: "But are the witches reliable? ”

After all, witches tend to emerge in the world with more negative news, although this is the battle of order, except for the madmen - everyone can say colleagues and comrades; however, traditional thinking makes it difficult to reverse the idea of a moment, and so it is inevitable that people will ask this question.

“Witches are committed to extracting dark magic from chaos, just like Maddalene's Dead Wizard, which is why people are worried about them. This suspicion is exacerbated by the fact that dark magic often impregnates the hearts and minds, leading some witches to behave differently than others. But the fact is that the witches have always been committed to fighting dusk, and the progenitors have been plotting this war for generations, and the witches were born, and today you see the betrayal of Aches, not by chance, but only as a result of a constant effort. ”

Solomon, king of sorcerers, suddenly opened his mouth and replied to the crowd.

Two consecutive Buga wizard leaders came out to explain to Brando, apparently a little too shocking, so that everyone was a little stunned and forgot to keep asking questions.

The envoy bowed slightly to the two: "Turns out we've always had a misunderstanding of the witches. We've been taught, ma'am. ”

But the other person immediately stood up and said, "What about the devil? ”

“Demons are only the weakest of the Dusk community.” Brando answered immediately.

That immediately caused a whisper theft in the crowd. Demons are the most familiar tribe of dusk, and their strength is beyond doubt. Many nations are destroyed by these terrible monsters, and mankind has never even truly invaded the territory of the demons.

And in the mouth of this young king of flames, they are the weakest?

Inevitably, new doubts have arisen.

“Your Majesty, will you be responsible for your words?” The man asked relentlessly.

Almost directly questioned, Brando hasn't spoken yet, and a pointy voice has sounded: “I don't think anyone is more responsible for this than he is. ”

Everyone turns around and sees that little Mother Dragon Aloz doesn't know when she's climbing into her chair —— standing on her chair, the little one, she's taller than the others: “How many of you have actually met and dealt with demons? But this man in front of you, just three years ago, personally drove the devil's army back into jail! ”

“I would like to remind you that the devil's invasion of Ambesseur was planned by the hand of a reunion of all things, and that the Temple of Fire, as a bystander, recorded that battle, which is not without marginal rumours, and that perhaps the Buga people have the greatest say in the invasion itself. ”

She looked to Solomon and nodded with no expression: “What you can see is that the invasion was not small in scale, but there was little information circulating about it, so the demonic invasion was rarely stopped in the place where it took place. I said that His Excellency Brando was a hero, not a compliment, but because he deserved the prize - he personally ended a demonic invasion on a medium scale. ”

The envoy stayed put.

People have also revealed incredible divinity. They have heard a lot about the demonic invasion of the kingdom. Had it not been for the joint intervention of the Bukas with the Temple of Fire and the Temple after the Wind in the Silver Bay area, it would have caused a more terrible disaster. Many people still have a history of the memories of that time.

And how heroic would it be to be alone in such a desperate situation?

Many of the Eruins on the scene of the conference, even with their glorious faces - many of them relatives of the year, personally engaged in the war and witnessed the miracle in the rain. The glory of the hero of the day became a monument erected today in the hearts of the Eruins.

The White City envoy who sat back had to stand up again at this moment and bow deeply to Brando.

It's a courtesy to a hero.

Brando took it frankly.

Not only because of his qualifications, but more importantly because of his needs. He looked at Little Mother Dragon and Solomon with some gratitude, but he had to translate the halo of the circle of titles that had been imposed on him into a true voice - and that was what he had come up to answer that question.

The venue was quiet.

“So, Your Majesty... do you know more about the devils?” The previous envoy asked stubbornly.

Instead of mindful of their previous offense, Brando answered generously: "The demons are powerful, but the demon monarchs have been in power since the Fourth War, leaving the seven demon kings divided, and for this reason their threat has been minimized in constant internal consumption. ”

“But wasn't it the demons who invaded Jorgen Diegon and caused the Jorgen Diegon to migrate to the surface during the previous Cruz war?” A statement was made in the crowd asking.

“That's just the word of the dragon queen. In fact, the demons invaded the tip of the ashes, occupying the lands of the Dark Elves and Medusa, far from the true Jorgendigan. The migration of the people of Jorgendigan is not so much a devil's cause as a dragon queen's plan, it's all just a lie. ”

Brando paused: "Of course, the devils are not moving without roots, but because they feel that a demon king in the earth world is about to be resurrected. ”

“A demon king in the surface world? ”

“It was Arkentu, the demon king, who lost so much in the Battle of Heaven and Blue that several demon kings followed him, and Arkentu, one of the most powerful demon kings, was sealed in a state of stagnation by the Bukas together with the dragons. But after tens of thousands of years, the seal has begun to loosen, so that the demons, guided by their servant in the earth's world, the Sheep's Head, will launch an attack on the tip of the ashes. ”

These secrets are the first time for many of you to hear them, and many of you have to show surprise. They obviously had no idea that His Excellency the Young King of Fire would have been so well-informed that many would have thought it was a Buga telling them all about it if they had not been convinced of each other's identity.

“What about the demon king, if the seal was loose, would it pose a threat to us?” Another question was asked.

“Not to worry,” Princess Magdalene stood up and responded proactively, "because it's dead. ”

“Dead?” The man stayed.

“Arkentu died in a state of stagnation, perpetrated by Mr. Brando himself, where we reclaimed our natural jewels - the green soul of the Holy Sword - and I am able to bear witness to it.” Princess Magdalene replied with courtesy.

“I've been through this myself," Aloz said quickly. "The dragons can testify, too. ”

The Buga are also nodding their heads, and as sealers of Arkentu, they are naturally the first to perceive what is happening in the realm of stagnation.

The venue was quiet, and people finally looked at Brando differently. Sounds like it wasn't until this moment that they remembered what happened when Brando took the throne of the Fire King - no wonder so many countries and forces endorsed him behind his back.

This curiosity often floats to the surface, but is sufficient to induce people to learn more about the life of His Majesty the King of Fire.

“To be able to kill a demon lord, it must be at least a sword saint, so young? ”

“Not surprisingly, I have heard that His Majesty the King of Fire is the descendant of the sword of the earth, and that his grandfather was a true sword saint. ”

Extreme Swordsmanship, people suck in the air, and for most people, that's the limit of what they know about Ri Lang.

But someone said, "Haven't you heard, not only his grandfather, but also his teacher, Saint Mayfist the Grey Sword?” This is undoubtedly a statement by a Cruz.

Rumors like this have begun to grow more in whispering.

However, the most accurate source of information is still the Eruites, whose life, after all, has long been enriched by rumours in all its aspects.

Two Black Rose Fights, several times to save a kingdom will lean.

Afterwards, in everyone's different eyes, he blew away like a truly noble knight, leaving only a crown for his students and beloved Her Royal Highness.

If killing the Demon King is only a sign of strength, then everything about him in Eruin is a true legend.

In an age when most people have romantic feelings about the true way of knighthood, such events tend to deepen into the hearts and minds of people who are fond not only of the light and the shadow of the sword, but also of the love and hate behind them. And a living, fleshy Count, about his love, ideals and beliefs with Princess Griffin, is often easier to mark in people's hearts.

A man of great power gets reverence. But a man of ideals and beliefs can be truly revered.

Brando is naturally far from being a saint, but the selflessness he leaves to Eruin is far enough to shine through this era. In a sense, he even replaced the position of the first Jun Ek in the eyes of the Eruins.

And that's what makes it so expensive, even the Krutz have a little respect in the eyes of their new emperor.

Not to mention the others.

“This is the true character of a swordsman,” Mr. Liu sighed, admiring the colour: "Your Highness, I had no idea that in Rosalind's line we could have met such a hero. ”

Phoenix nodded seriously and had long recognized her teacher as the best person in the world.

Around the two, Fang Qi sighed heavily, looking in the direction of Delphine, finally shook his head.

Among the Lions of Tokenin, Neil Fischer looked shamefully at the sword in front of him. And a man came to it quietly and said to His Royal Highness the Lion Prince: "His Highness, Mr. Nair, what happened to Mr. Brando is rare, but not necessarily the only hero. ”

“You're right,” Nair sighed, answering, "Miss Tix, but it's not frustration, it's shame. Heroes should go nowhere, but I'm jealous of a true knight, making me look like a little man. ”

“Then be more frank, not necessarily forgiven, and the brave are not just brave in the face of the enemy, are they? ”

Prince Lion nodded: "You're right, Miss Tix, I would do that. ”

The human maiden smiled: “This is exactly where I admire you, Your Highness. ”

People have been persuaded by Brando, and naturally they will no longer question what he has said, and some have taken the opportunity to ask: "So how can we win this seemingly desperate war, Your Majesty? ”

And someone asked, "Can we really beat the Dragon of Dusk? ”

In the face of powerful enemies, there will inevitably be misgivings, not an attempt to surrender, but a lack of hope.

But Brando shook his head: “If the dragon of dusk is truly despicable, there is no need to wait until today for us to take over the war. ”

“But today we are just a bunch of mortals,” the man asked, "How can we defeat an enemy that even Martha has not defeated in this most debilitating time of Vaughn's order? ”

Brando stood up.

He looked at everyone.

“Our world is bleeding, our war with the Dragon of Dusk, scarring us...”

“In past times, we have witnessed the passing of many heroes, like the stars that have guided us in the darkness, extinguishing little by little. And what is left, as if it were a hopeless, bleak night sky, above the darkness of the sky, even the gods have lost hope. ”

The meeting went quiet, people were attracted to Brando's actions, and they were amazed by his words. Everyone looked up and wanted to see what the young king of flames had to say.

“But...”

Brando raised his voice: “We cannot deny the efforts of our forefathers, who, with the deepest despair, have not offered us a real, bleak future - the price of an orderly world, and why not our enemies? ”

“… the Lord of the devil lay under the sword of the green, and the Mother of the Nightmare similarly died in the glow of the holy gun's heavenly dome. And the first witch of an orderly world, whose existence is long overdue, may have turned into a ghost of history, but it is what this ghost left behind, and now lets Essex betray her master, the most powerful enemies we have ever had, fall one and the same. ”

“Now three of the five lords of the Dragon of Dusk have gone; we have lost the stars in front of us in the seemingly lonely and blind night sky, but it is not a precursor to the everlasting night, quite the opposite-”

Brando answered word for word: "The stars disappeared because dawn was coming. ”

……
