chapter eight(3/3)
Just in case, I’d better inform your Majesty first..."
Ka Xiu looked at Shadam in confusion.
"Not everyone knows Bill? Besides, in this situation, every soldier is murderous."
Shadam said nonchalantly, but he thought that if he had known better, he would have posted pictures of Bill and the others everywhere.
It's just that Ka Xiu has stopped listening to him.
He patted the soldier on the shoulder and asked him to lead the way, and then hurried out.
Oh, don't be so angry." Ka Xiu smiled and comforted the enchanting girl and the giant mercenary who were expressing their dissatisfaction.
When Cardiff came to the guard room, Bill and everyone else had their weapons confiscated and were tied up so tightly that they couldn't even yell or curse.
Cardiff was first happy that they came back safe and sound, and then laughed loudly because of their behavior.
"As a king, don't you think it is a sin to laugh at the suffering of the people?"
Lelia had always been quiet, but at this time she also became serious.
For a priest who has nothing to do with secular power, this reaction is understandable.
Shrein quickly comforted his wife and explained to her the style of King Cassius.
Card Xiu was also surprised that Slein was traveling with them.
"Originally, it seems that you don't like war, but I didn't expect you to come this time!"
Ka Xiu held Slein's hand tightly.
"For Rhodes Island now, war is simply unavoidable. In this case, no matter whether I like it or hate it, the premise should still be to end the war as soon as possible, so I decided to come with Bill. After all, in the last time
His Majesty Kaxiu also helped me a lot during the war."
Ka Xiu held Slein's hand tightly again.
"I don't remember that you owe me anything, but I sincerely thank you for coming. They can summon elves, and there are only two or three mercenaries here besides me who have magic weapons, so I was thinking of doing it anyway. Say it with the help of your magic power."
Card Xiu brought everyone to the city and explained the recent battle situation.
The citizens who saw him quickly asked what the outcome of the war would be.
Card Xiu smiled at each of them, and confidently said that the time was ripe, even if he went out to battle tomorrow, he could defeat the Flame Tribe and show them.
Seeing his appearance, even people on the sidelines will feel a sense of peace of mind and continue to return to their posts in life.
The news of the decisive battle tomorrow spread throughout the city, greatly boosting the morale of the soldiers.
Card Xiu judged that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he issued a formal notice to the entire army that the final decisive battle would take place tomorrow.
There is no turning back. Tomorrow will decide the fate of the Kingdom of Frame.
When he arrived at the audience, Cardiff had finished his words, and the topic changed to what happened during Bill's trip. In order to appreciate their hard work, Cardiff not only prepared fresh distilled water, but also ordered the attendants to prepare something to satisfy their hunger. .
"In other words, the responsibility for the beginning of this war lies with our ancestors who were deceived by the magicians of the ancient kingdom, right?"
After hearing what Bill said, Shadam said with a disappointed expression.
To Shadam and other members of the Wind Tribe, the information Bill brought back was tantamount to insulting their ancestors, but this is also an unchangeable fact.
But I know that the reason is definitely not just a regret left by history. The fight between the two tribes is actually a fight for survival land. However, Deedlit has liberated the covenant, and the power of the earth and water in this desert is slowly recovering. , if His Majesty Kashu’s efforts are added to it, I believe that Frame will become more abundant than before.”
"Liberate the two and revive the two, right..." Card Xiu read out inadvertently. This is a section in the legend of the Covenanters.
One day, the Covenant will appear to free both and awaken both.
"I am indeed not a covenant person. Although I broke the sealing pot in order to liberate the King of Wind, it only made the King of Wind abide by the ancient covenant again."
Ka Xiu said to Shadam.
"If the elves who were liberated in the legend are the elves of wind and fire, then the ones who are awakened should be the elves of water and earth. It turns out that the mystery is that simple."
"The mystery that has been solved is of course simple." "I didn't expect that the patron saint who protects us is the culprit of this place turning into a desert..." Card Xiu sighed.
"That's absolutely correct. When I first heard the story passed down by the elders, I thought that resurrecting the patron saint and defeating the Flame Tribe were our unfulfilled wishes for more than five hundred years. Now I actually say that this is Wrong, I really don’t know what to say to them." Shadam also showed a frustrated expression.
"But these are absolutely true facts." Bill said firmly.
"Although this sounds simple, just saying that history is wrong cannot stop the war. I have also proposed a truce to Nadia before, and guaranteed that the people of their Flame Tribe will also receive equal treatment, but Still was resolutely rejected. In fact, from a practical point of view, if the important town of the Flame tribe treats them as the nobles of Flame, the people of Flame will also be dissatisfied. Human beings are creatures with emotions. , so just using logic won’t work.”
"We understand this, so we hope that your majesty can listen to our request. We know that tomorrow's war is inevitable, and we also know that we cannot lose and must go all out. But after the victory, we should not ask them to obey
, but we should hope that they will assist us. I think we have to win this war to gain their trust."
"This is too difficult. Even if the legend is wrong, we have accumulated a lot of hatred during the more than five hundred years of war with the Flame Tribe. This is very real, and it is impossible to forget all of it. We have many relatives and friends.
My friend was killed by the Fire Tribe, and it's the same for them."
It was Shadam who answered, and Ka Xiu seemed to be still thinking about this question.
"Then if you win the battle, are you going to kill them all? This is not only inhumane, but also impossible to be just. Nadia at least ensured the safety of the citizens when she captured Shilut! Please think about this war again.
What is it for? This is a strategy planned by a third party to provoke the two tribes who originally loved each other! Just as Deedlit said just now, the wind elves have been liberated from the covenant, and only Zhu Rong can come back.
If it is liberated, the spiritual power here will be restored to balance.
It may take ten or twenty years to return to the fertile land it once was, but if we use the energy of the war to reclaim wasteland or dig wells, the people of the Flame tribe will definitely be able to survive.
. In the village of Tabor, Slein has hosted thousands of refugees. If a country cannot even do this, what future will there be in Frame!"
As Bill talked, he began to realize that he was getting more and more excited. He quickly stopped and asked Cardiff if he was being too rude.
And he listened motionless to what Bill said.
"Don't mind, keep talking" Cardiff only said to Bill.
"No, that's all I have to say. Please let me participate in tomorrow's battle as a mercenary. I will try my best to restore the previous stigma. After all, I am a warrior, and this is the only thing I can do."
"Although I'm not mature enough, please let me help you." It was Slein who spoke.
"Although I don't like to use magic to use destructive power, this idea will lead to greater destruction. This is a lesson I learned in the previous war. In other words, if you don't have the courage to correct the past, then
There is no way there will be a correct future." "I didn't expect that the sage is really literary..."
Shadam on the side continued with a wry smile.
Everyone knows that there is a huge difference between the difficulty of saying it and doing it. You have taken such a big risk for Flame so that we can have the power to fight against the fire elves, so of course I can't live up to your hard work. Elder,
I am responsible for saying that the Wind Tribe will definitely keep its word, so you can fight to your heart's content tomorrow." "And remember to survive." Ka Xiu took over what Shadam said. "What Shadam just said is actually true.
That's what I want to say, I promise you in the name of King Kashu Yanag I of Frem. I have other ideas about how to accept the Flame Tribe..." Kashu stopped and looked at
The group of people present spoke forcefully as if making a declaration.
"Tomorrow's war is Frame's war. You still have your own mission, and you must not die before carrying it out." "We understand. But tomorrow's war is actually my own war, because it is to make
One of the eternally peaceful wars in Rhodes Island... During this trip, I have been thinking about my mission and finally know what I should do. What I hope to do most now is to rebuild Rhodes Island.
Peace and order. Although I still want to save Wood, it is precisely because of this that I cannot ignore the destruction in front of me. As His Majesty Cardiff said, in order to restore peace to Rhodes Island, the final obstacle to us must be
Kara, I will definitely be able to meet Kara...Wood again at that time."
"Don't forget this determination in the future." "Yes," Bill replied succinctly.
"Shadam, summon the commanders of all the armies. We are going to hold a military meeting. If we cannot win tomorrow's war, we will lose everything, so we must not lose."
"Understood" Shadam bowed his head respectfully to Ka Xiu, and then left the room.
The morning of the decisive battle has arrived.
The Continental Army gathered in the square on the street, quietly waiting for the time to attack. Bill and Deedlit held the key to the entire war, so they were incorporated into Cardiff's team, while Slein, Lelia
, and of course the two mercenaries Marsh and Foss were also there.
The knights led by Cardius himself will be responsible for attacking the center of the enemy's army.
"Listen, this war will determine the fate of our Frame. We must not be afraid of them and lead to the same result as the previous battle. We must carefully look at the overall situation and listen carefully to the content of the order.
You cannot act at will, the army's obedience to orders will determine the outcome of the entire battle."
It was rare for Cardiff to give serious instructions to his knights.
This is to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Battle of Shilut. As long as the enemy is not given the opportunity to use magic, the hard battle can be avoided. The Knights are the only ones in the continental army that have received training in organized warfare, so they can fight against them.
When they give such instructions, they must have other instructions for the militiamen and mercenary teams.
"Am I supposed to be a coward? Now I can't calm down all the time. You can see that my whole body is shaking."
Schlein, who was standing behind the knights, said this to Bill. Although Cardiff was still just lecturing, the detailed operations had actually been coordinated with captain-level people at yesterday's military meeting.
In order to counter the opponent's magic, Cardiff organized magicians and mercenaries with magic weapons into a commando team, hoping to penetrate deep into the enemy's formation and defeat the fire elves. There were about ten people, including Marsh and Foss.
Inside.
Marsh was "lucky" to be elected because of the magic sword, but he was actually quite depressed when he found out.
After the knights blocked the enemy's elf offensive, they dispatched militia and mercenary teams to end the war in one fell swoop with numerical superiority. They also gave strict orders not to harm the enemy in the slightest after they surrendered.
