Chapter 422: Walking on the Long Road of an Epic (1)
Elemental Moon, known for its magical power, is the exact opposite of Rose May - creatures become very active during the season, even their colors look a little more amazing than usual.
In the Huria steppe, delicate blades of grass grow from the soil, these blades of grass, fragile like it, the dew sticks to the blades of grass, horses and people will splash a faint crystal light when they step on such ground, and weave with their companions in a light-to-thick knitwear, stretching from the plains to the mountains.
The Huria steppe is large – in this almost endless grassland, there is a river that originates in the Juria Mountains, and the bard praises it as a solidified transparent amber that reflects a multicolored luster in the sun, a sight not to be missed in the territory of Huria.
The scenery, the legends—I don't know if it's because it's so little visited, it's a place that has been praised by bards, who sing about it for centuries—and describe it like the legend of a warrior in leather armor walking past a dragon spreading its wings when a melodious epic sounds.
It is as if it is a landscape that runs through eternity and seems to be able to last forever.
There are few places where this is possible, where legend and scenery come together.
But there are also people who have made some changes to this long-standing scenery - an expeditionary force has stepped into the grassland.
It was an army from the Kingdom of Luther.
Only a few people know that this is the case of the current Duke of Wizdem, Fitney? The expeditionary force initiated by Wizdem to enter the world behind the "wall" cut off by the Holy See - made up of 5,000 soldiers with bags on their backs and a handful of horseback riders.
Since the beginning of the war, the nobles of Huria, who had a small territory, have retreated to a range close to the territory of Haivag, so there are few people on their way, which makes their advance very convenient.
Among the men on the horse was the initiator, Fitney, who wrapped herself in a black cloak that showed only a pale chin.
Most of the time she was followed by another man in a cloak and riding a horse.
She wasn't the leader—the entire journey was theoretically led by the general named Hannibal. Perhaps it was because the Duke was a woman, and even if the general was a woman, it would not be so surprising.
But it's not as simple as it seems.
As a magically constructed summoner, Hannibal has the same special appeal as Joan of Arc to influence his surroundings with his magic - and Hannibal himself is an excellent leader in terms of his building choices and personality. Thus Hannibal gained the confidence of the army in a few days, and was able to maintain the stability of the army easily for a few days—to such an extent that Fitney was not surprised—and this was the reason why Fitney thought the expedition could be successful.
After all, she's the one who really makes it this far.
It also made Fitney think back to a conversation with Hannibal not long ago.
"Anyway, leave this matter to me." In the face of her questioning, Hannibal said confidently.
"You ......" but something came to her mind.
Hannibal waited patiently for her reply, and the sparkle of confidence and wisdom in those eyes made Fitnair not speak.
That look never disappeared from her face.
Due to the small number of people and the good weather, the advance of the expeditionary force was not hindered, and there were few surprises for five days.
The so-called accidents are those robbers who appear in the steppe.
But when it came to dealing with these people, before they were shocked by the army that appeared on the steppe, Eureka had already taken the lead in disposing of them with arrows.
There is no difficulty.
"In addition to robbers, sometimes there are some animals." On the sixth day of the trip, a soft, melodious male voice sounded among the two people on horseback, and he and his interlocutor walked almost side by side, both wearing black cloaks. When he speaks, he shows a chin with simple and beautiful lines.
"I think I've heard some hurtful incidents." When the people around him spoke, the owner of the female voice was obviously that Fitney? Wizdem, she raised her head slightly, revealing her pale skin, "I'll go ahead and have a look." ”
As she spoke, she rode quickly from the back of the group to the head of the group, and then continued on.
"Looks like Lornay likes this kind of environment." The wheat-skinned woman approached the man on horseback, "It feels like I'm looking for some companion—it can't be too lonely, haha." ”
Fitney? Wizdem, the Duke of the Wezdem family, one of the most important families in the Kingdom of Luther, who initiated the expedition and participated in it himself, made people think that she had a bit of a playful mentality at this time.
"Why don't you come along, Ed?" Eureka looked at him.
Ed was silent for a moment, then ran forward.
When Ed saw the figure again, he found her parked in front of a ruin.
It was the ruins of an ancient castle - the buildings of ancient castles such as Saratoga and Lac City were long ago, and the preservation of them was done by a few deliberate efforts, in fact, most of the castles in the Kingdom of Luther were in ruins - especially in the Huria grassland.
As far as they could see, they could only see a part of the main building, most of which could only be regarded as ruins, collapsed and dilapidated in the wind.
"The ruins of the castle." Coming to Fitney's side, Ed heard her voice, "It only takes half a month from here to reach the Juria Mountains. ”
The route had already been calculated, and Fitney knew the approximate route and where it would go.
"Stay here today." Fitney glanced at the sky and said.
In the steppe where there are bandits, it is always necessary to spend some time on guard at night, and for Fitney, it is really not something to be happy about.
There are castles, even if they are just ruins, and it is enough.
Eddard's eyes swept over the castle.
"Wait." He shouted and was about to turn and go to Hannibal's Fitney.
Fitnair turned his head to look at him.
"It's ...... here," Ed paused, "Forget it, it's fine." ”
Fitney smiled at him and rode away.
Hannibal agreed to Fitney's offer, and when the army arrived, Fitney dismounted, intending to join some of the remaining parts of the ruins that had entered the ruins first—and when he came to the place that served as the doorway, he realized that it was indeed a rightful ruin, and that the door as a doorway could only be described as a dusty plank.
Whoa——!
Fitney took a slight step back, an old smell pouring into her nose that made her cough.
"Miss, I'll go with you." Seeing this, Dick approached.
"There's something you need to do over there." Fitney waved his hand.
With that, Fitney walked into the castle.
