Chapter 028: The Black History of the Hall of Forgetfulness

The Hall of Forgetfulness is a place open to the people of Liensta, and court scholars, female generals, and dragon envoys dressed in civilian clothes form a visiting group to enter the Hall of Forgetfulness among the people. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info to Dai Yang's claim that "there are things you want to know in the Palace of Forgetting", Wen Dao had great expectations and curiosity, and after really stepping into it, he found that it was unexpectedly simple.

There is no superfluous decoration in the empty hall, only a huge stone wall on both sides of the cloister. Some of these stone walls are nearly two stories high, and the edges are heavily weathered, and it is speculated that they are more than 1,000 years old. The stone wall is depicted with mineral pigments, and Wen Dao stands in front of a stone wall and looks up.

The first mural depicts a blue sky and lush forests, with city-states shining on the land of Gulambert.

The second mural shows a green-skinned spaceship descending from the stars, and a group of pointy-eared little people walking down with many strange and delicate goods to trade with the Qurumbellians.

The third mural is a pitch-black giant ship rushing into the sky, with a fierce black cloud behind the dark giant ship, attacking the Gullambell in the void with an overwhelming attitude.

From the fourth mural onwards, a group of ships has enveloped the land of Grumbel, and a nine-headed serpent hangs above the group of ships emitting a calamity red light. Where the red light was cast, the sky began to burn, the sea began to boil, and one city-state after another was reduced to ashes under the flames of the pitch-black ship group. The mural depicts the painful and distorted posture of the Qurumbellians with abstract lines, which shocked Wen Dao.

"W-Is this ......?"

The coat of arms of the nine-headed serpent looked extremely familiar, and Wen Daokou looked at the court scholar in a daze.

"Yes, that's the Saint-Nova Empire. Dai Yang nodded to confirm his conjecture, and then pointed to the pointy-eared figure on the other side of the mural. "They're the Harpy Federation. In the records of the Qurumbella, the hobbits were the first visitors to come down from the stars, dating back as far as 2,000 years. ”

"Two thousand years ago, Grumbell came into contact with an interstellar civilization!?"

"That's right, but at that time, the Harpy Federation was still a fairly weak galactic state, and it was just a simple trade exchange with Grumbell. Glumbel learned a lot of technology from the hobbits, and some even set foot on the galaxy with the hobbits' ships, and the exchange between the two sides continued until the expansion of the San Vano Empire. ”

"By that time, the Hobbits had established a transgalactic federation, and the San Vano Empire had expanded its territory to the edge of the Emerald Star Field. The Emerald Star Field is located between the San Vano Empire and the Harpy Federation, and the Empire wants to conquer the Harpy Federation, so it first suppresses Gulambert. ”

"Suppress Gulambell?"

"Yes, the Empire's invasion of the Harpy Federation requires a stable forward base. In addition to the forward base, the thriving Gullambel can also be used as a supply base to provide a stable supply of troops...... Well, strategically, that's a pretty reasonable judgment. After all, the interstellar civilization has a crushing advantage over the early civilization, so the empire basically does not consider the factor of the Qurumbel people's resistance......"

"Is that so?"

The court scholar's statement from an objective point of view was glared at fiercely by the female general of Liansta, and he hurriedly added after coughing. Of course, the Hobbits knew this, so they did everything in their power to prevent the Empire from taking over Gurumbel. The two sides have waged a fierce battle for more than half a century in the Emerald Star Field......"

The San Vano Empire and the Harpy Federation, two interstellar nations, have engaged in a protracted interstellar battle for the battle for Golumbell. However, the gods fought and mortals suffered, and for the early civilization of Gulambel, this was a time of disaster when the sky burned and the sea boiled. According to historical records, at least one-third of the population of the land of Gulambert was reduced by the war during that period, and the military relics established at that time still remain in the snowy fields of Gurumbell all over the country.

"In the end, did the empire win?" Wen Dao instincted.

"Yes, the superior Empire of San Vano crushed the fleet of the Harpy Federation, annexed the Emerald Star Field, and then built Gülambert as a forward base. Dai Yang continued to speak while paying attention to Matyuya's reaction.

To compensate for the losses incurred in the previous wars, the Empire launched a massive forced conscription in Gurumbel. The kingdoms of Gulambert, which had managed to survive the previous war, died one after another under the guns of the San Vano Empire. After the complete annexation of the Emerald Star Field, the mighty Imperial fleet launched a final offensive against the Harpy Federation.

"At that time, the national strength of the Harpy Federation was at the end of its power, and it could be said that it was almost powerless to resist the invasion of the imperial conquering fleet. But at this time, an event that changed history was posted......"

Dai Yang led Wen Dao forward and came to another stone wall.

The mural here is completely different from the previous one, on the left side of the mural is a white dragon in a sea of stars, radiating a thousand rays of light from the white dragon, and in the light, the dark ships fled in terror and then disappeared. The despair and darkness that had long shrouded the land of Gurumbel were banished by the white dragon......

"When the Imperial Conquest Fleet was heading towards the Harpy Federation, the 'Northern Heavenly Shun Emperor' of the eight branches of the Dragon Clan suddenly ruled over the Emerald Star Field, destroying all the strongholds set up by the Empire in the Star Field in one fell swoop, and since then the Emerald Star Domain has been his own. ”

“…… So fierce?"

"Emperor Shun of the Northern Heavens" is another name for King Long Xian, that is, the father of Long Ji Yansui. Although Ryuhime's ability to easily destroy the poaching fleet had already impressed Bun Dao, it sounded like the one who was the father was far above that.

"Emperor Shun of the Northern Heaven is one of the Eight Dragon Kings, and it is impossible to be an opponent with the left-behind fleet of the base. If I have the opportunity, I really hope to meet His Majesty the Dragon King in person......" The white dragon on the mural of the Dai Yang Dynasty cast a gaze of infinite admiration, and continued to explain that history to Wen Dao.

"The Emerald Star Field is the only way to connect the Empire and the Harpy Federation, and the conquering fleet that has been cut off from the back road is immediately in a desperate situation of losing supplies. Although the crown prince, who was the commander of the fleet at the time, tried to make a way out of the Federation, the demoralized conquest fleet soon fell apart due to the resistance of the Harpy army, and then embarked on the path of defeat...... Well, that's a matter of course. ”

"Symbolized by the demise of the conquest fleet, the Emerald Star Field was classified as the Virtuous Dragon King's Domain, and the Gulambel Star was also protected by Emperor Shun of the Northern Heavens. The Gurumbellians, who were liberated from the tyranny of the empire, worshipped Emperor Shun as the 'holy dragon' of salvation from then on......" Speaking of this, the court scholar glanced at the female general with some nervousness, and saw that Ma Qiuya had no special reaction when she wrenched her face, so she continued to speak.

"The name 'Forget-Not' is not only a reminder to future generations of the Qurumbellians not to forget the sufferings of the past, but also to remind them not to forget the blessings of the Holy Dragon's salvation. ”

"I see...... "Wen Dao exhaled as if he had exhaled the air in his lungs. He finally understood the reason why the female general hated the imperial coat of arms, and at the same time, he also had some idea of what the court scholar wanted to express.

"So, it's not unusual for the Saint-Nova Empire to take action against the Emerald Dragon?"

"Well, that's it. The court scholar scratched his head and replied. "In that battle, the Empire's conquering fleet fell apart, and the crown prince who commanded the fleet died unexpectedly on the way back, and the Saint-Vano Empire formed a mortal enmity with the dragon...... Hawkers, although I don't think the dragon king should be too careful. ”

The destruction of that conquering fleet did not stop the expansion of the San Vano Empire, which had become more powerful than ever after centuries of expansion and accumulation. The Emerald Dragon Territory is the only channel for the Empire to invade the Harpy Federation, coupled with the grudges accumulated before, the San Vano Empire can be said to regard the Xianlong Empire as a thorn in its side, although it does not dare to brazenly dispatch a fleet to invade the Dragon Territory, but the disgusting things done secretly have never been less. As for the poaching incident, it is probably only one of the epitome of the empire's malice.

"Since the expansion wars of the San Vano Empire, the land of Gurumbel has suffered too much...... Lensta is already the last spark in the land of Grumbel, and I really don't want him to be extinguished if I can. ”

At the end, the court scholar concludes his commentary with words that almost sigh, while Matyuya next to her rubs her hair in braids, revealing a subtle and complex expression. Although the female general showed a lack of interest from beginning to end, through her attitude, Wen Dao could still grasp the Liansta people's understanding of that dark history.

(Far beyond what I expected, the truth about Gurumbell...... )

Walking through the last stone wall of the Hall of Forgetfulness, Wen Dao looked back at the many murals lined up on both sides of the cloister, as well as the Liansta people who stopped to pray in front of the murals, and an inexplicable melancholy mood rose in his heart.

The San Vano Empire and the Harpy Federation, the Northern Emperor Shun and the Gulambell, the invasion campaigns that lasted for half a century, and the defeated and disappeared imperial conquest fleet...... If he hadn't come to this Hall of Forgetfulness, Wen Dao would never have imagined that behind this seemingly simple poaching incident was such a thrilling history.

(It's too cheating, I don't even say anything...... )

Wen Dao seriously suspected that a certain chief deacon knew about this, but threw him to Golumbel without saying a word—an act that is hard to explain with good intentions, but equally untargeted to say something malicious. It felt like being thrown to a hunting bow and ordered to hunt a hare, but a Tyrannosaurus rex suddenly popped up in the middle of the hunt.

This state of affairs has far exceeded the original expectation of the mission, and whether it should continue or not. Wen Dao cursed a certain chief deacon who had no blood, no tears, and no mercy, while biting his lip and falling into a deep entanglement......

"Hello!"

At the same time, in the "Baixia Palace", the palace around the sun around the stellar jade, Lei Yan, who was immersed in official business, coldly sneezed.
