Chapter 430: The Immortal Heroic Spirit

Chapter 430: The Immortal Heroic Spirit

Valhalla Cross Canyon, more than 100 miles long, to the west is most of the Holy War Kempra Empire New Gar, north to the former Abidjan Kingdom Gangdes City Fortress, to the east can enter the North Luo County, south is the hinterland of the Holy Laurent Empire, is the buffer zone connecting the Holy Laurent Empire, the Holy War Kempra Empire and the original Abidjan Kingdom.

The name Valhalla's Cross is derived from the "Fifth Akan-Roe War", born 768 years ago. The so-called 'Akán-Ro', that is, the Kingdom of Abidjan and the Holy Laurent Empire jointly invaded the Holy Laurent Empire; of course, the Kingdom of Abidjan and the Holy Laurent Empire also jointly invaded the Holy Laurent Empire, and a total of four explosions in history. However, the Holy Laurent Empire and the Holy War Kampra Empire attempted to unite to divide the Kingdom of Abidjan only once, and it soon collapsed due to the forcible intervention of the Magic Empire of Karachi and the Dawson Free Federation.

The reason why the Kingdom of Abidjan can be so 'left and right' is not difficult to understand - in terms of individual strength alone, the Holy Laurent Empire and the Holy War Campura Empire are half a pound or two, but they are far stronger than the Kingdom of Abidjan, so no matter which of the two countries is united, the other country can still hold out, and this kind of attrition, whether it is the Dawson Free Federation or the Magic Empire of Karachi, is happy to see. But once the Holy Laurent Empire and the Holy War Campura Empire jointly invade the Kingdom of Abidjan, the balance of the three kingdoms will be broken, and the Kingdom of Abidjan will inevitably be divided between the two powers, which the Magic Empire of Karachi and the Dawson Free Federation will never allow.

Therefore, although there have been many battles between Roland, Campura and Abidjan for thousands of years, the natural border of the Canyon of the Dead has never changed.

768 years ago, that is, in the year 3249 of the free calendar, on March 5, a patrol of twenty members of the Roland Empire entered the Cross Canyon to patrol as usual, and finally they encountered the patrol of the Kingdom of Abidjan and the Camp Empire unexpectedly; to the horror of the Rowland Empire patrol, the patrols of both countries were more than 50 people, which was completely the scale of wartime! The captain of the Rowland Empire patrol even realized that the Abidjan Kingdom and the Campura Empire were jointly invading the Empire, and the "Fifth Akand-Luo War" had begun!

In order to make the imperial high-level realize that the war has come, except for a patrol member with excellent horsemanship who quietly rushed to the nearest Beiluo County to report the news, the remaining eighteen people under the leadership of the patrol leader started an asymmetrical fierce battle with a full hundred vigilant patrolmen, and finally all nineteen people were killed!

Because of the desperate obstruction of nineteen people, the patrol finally succeeded in entering Beiluo County, and was fortunate to meet the eldest son of the then Grand Duke of Beiluo, Count Haakon, who has always enjoyed a reputation for bravery and good warfare in the empire! At that time, Count Hakang was presiding over the change of defense of some garrisons in Beiluo County, and he was followed by 5,000 Beiluo knights and 5,000 Beiluo knights!

After sending a messenger to report to the Grand Duke of Northern Law, Count Haakon made an extremely bold decision -- he decided to raid the vanguard of the combined forces of the Kampra Empire and the Kingdom of Abidjan! According to his estimates, since the empire has not yet received the news of the invasion of the two countries, it proves that the main force of the combined forces of the two countries should not have arrived, and it is estimated that the number of people is only the vanguard, and the number is definitely not too much, and the total is estimated to be about 10,000 people, which is equivalent to the soldiers under his command! In a one-on-one situation, how could he, Count Haakon, ever be afraid of anyone? What's more, all the cavalry he led was cavalry!

With the amazing movement of the cavalry, in the end, Count Haakon successfully beat the advance of the two coalition armies, and with the strong combat power of the knights of Beiluo under his command, Count Hakang almost wiped out the advance of the two coalition forces in less than two hours!

But Count Haakon didn't have the last laugh, he didn't have time to evacuate, and the follow-up main forces of the two countries had already arrived - although not all the main forces, but they added up to more than 40,000 people, and there were 10,000 Khan guards and 3,000 black spear knights! Obviously, after learning that the front was attacked by the Roland Empire, the main forces of the two countries immediately sent a mobile cavalry force to reinforce the front line!

Although the Knight of Northern Luo was indeed amazing, because of the huge gap in numbers, Count Haakon soon fell into a bitter battle, if it weren't for the fact that the Cross Canyon was not conducive to deploying too many troops at the same time, he was afraid that he would soon be defeated!

But Count Haakon's reputation for bravery and good fighting is also not boastful, even if there is a difference of more than four times the number of troops, he was stunned and forcibly supported for most of the day, but at sunset, Count Haakon was shot through the heart by a Khan guard, and his neck was pierced by the spear of a knight with a black spear! But beside Count Haakon, there were also dozens of corpses, these were the last ones he killed alone!

At that time, the Grand Duke of Beiluo led his troops to the Cross Canyon, looking at the broken Beiluo banner, the Count Hakang who was half-kneeling on the ground and his head had fallen to the side, the Grand Duke of Beiluo was crazy, and despite the persuasion of the military governor he had always trusted, the Grand Duke of Beiluo threw all 50,000 troops into the Cross Canyon and began a crazy road of revenge!

In this way, one after another armies of the Roland Empire, or the Kampra Empire and the Kingdom of Abidjan were actively or passively thrown into the Cross Canyon, just like a meat grinder, and countless elite battles were killed here!

In the end, the "Fifth Akand-Luo War" lasted only 14 days, which was the shortest "Akand-Luo" war in history, and it was less than half a month. But this was also the most tragic one, in this war, more than 100,000 soldiers were killed in the direct battle of the Three Kingdoms, and more than 300,000 were wounded, among which there were 35 nobles killed in the battle—18 barons, 10 viscounts, and 7 counts! And the then Grand Duke of Beiluo, who was also incurably wounded in the war, passed the position of Grand Duke to his second son early on—he originally wanted to pass on the title of Grand Duke to his eldest son, Count Haakon!

Even three months after the end of the "Fifth Akan-Ro War", the Cross Canyon was still scarlet, stained red by the blood shed by the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms, and at night, the Cross Canyon would appear with a noisy shout of killing, shaking the hundred-mile-long canyon - it was not that the Three Kingdoms had broken out again, but that the heroic spirits of those dead soldiers were still fighting! There were adventurers who passed by this place at night, and even swore that they had seen the heroic spirit of Count Haakon!

The appearance of the war heroic spirit made the cross canyon, where caravans used to be frequent, suddenly become desolate, especially at night, even the most powerful adventurers dare not pass by here!

In order to solve the trouble caused by these heroic spirits, after the negotiation of the three kingdoms, the Kampra Empire sent three holy priests, and the Abidjan Kingdom invited the great swordsman of the Holy Sepulchre Guardian Order at the time, and even the Holy Light Knight of the Roland Empire came in person, in order to purify these heroic spirits!

At the end of the three-day purification ceremony, the Crusaders erected a holy stone statue with wings on its back at the western junction, the Holy Sepulchre Guardians planted a Holy Sepulchre javelin dyed red with the blood of pilgrims at the northern junction, and the Inquisition stood bronze men of the first war knights and death knights in the north and south!

Since then, the Cross Canyon has returned to calm, and the tens of thousands of war heroes who fought at night have disappeared, and the Cross Canyon has gradually returned to its former prosperity. But there were adventurers or caravans who passed by at night and talked about seeing a headless horseman roaming on a Northern Luo horse full of arrows! All the people of Northern Luo who heard this rumor were convinced that it was their most valiant Earl Haakon, the immortal heroic spirit, who wanted to recover the lost head!

For this reason, the famous chants on the Big 6, the half-elven bard Gelder Gaild wrote a short poem for the Earl of Haakon - "The Immortal Heroic Spirit"!

"The long cross valley is like a long snake winding

……

The battle cry roared and swept over the hills

Northern Luo Jian, Northern Rome, the count stands alone

The sword strikes like a song, the eyes are like torches, like the rising sun

……

The shield was broken, the spear was broken

The Count roared in rage and slashed down his enemy with his sword

……

Where you are, where you are

My head, my glory

Faith that will not be extinguished

”

As "The Immortal Immortal" gradually spread, Cross Canyon was gradually renamed Valhalla Cross Canyon!

On March 5, 4o18 of the Liberty Calendar, 768 years after the end of the "Fifth Akan-Roe War", it is difficult to see the immortal heroic spirit again. On this very ordinary night, an unusual group of dark shadows quietly crept in—a very large team, estimated to number more than 30,000 people. The fact that a troop of 30,000 men, and still marching like this, is clearly a sign of something.

This force entered from the southern junction of Valhalla Canyon, and judging by the direction they were traveling, it should be heading to the east - to the east was Beiluo County, but it was no longer the Beiluo County of the Holy Laurent Empire, but the current Prince of Beiluo of the Red Demon Empire.

With the help of the moonlight, we can see the general situation of these 30,000 troops - about 5,000 heavily armored soldiers in front, each soldier holding a heavy steel shield half a meter high and five centimeters thick in one hand, in the middle is also about 5,000 cavalry, and in the rear is about 20,000 light armored troops.

If you just look at the head and waist, this army undoubtedly looks orderly and well-trained, making people look like a rare elite soldier. And the shield of the heavy infantry and the cuirass of the cavalry are engraved with the same pattern - it is a scale, with a sword on one side and a shield on the other, which is the exclusive coat of arms of the Roland royal family, and also symbolizes the perfect knight Richard Roland, representing justice and order!

However, the scales in the coat of arms are silver-white, which means that they are not the most elite Roland royal infantry and Roland Celestial Knights, but from the inferior Oath Shield Corps!
