81 Swan Castle
The Sun Mountains are undulating, like a pair of arms encircling the entire Reims plain.
The Reims River originates in the Sun Mountains, is formed by thousands of streams, winds along the mountains, from high to low, and merges into a river, passing under Swan Castle, then through the maple leaf shape of the Reims plain, and finally, through the city of Reims, which divides it in two and enters the Sea of Stars.
Legend has it that the hero Lance fought with the devil, and a sword opened a long rift valley in the Sun Mountains, which led to the river, the water source, and the fertile fields on both sides of the plain, which allowed crops to be grown, and humans to be able to live, in this legend, Lance's mount was a huge swan, and in the battle with the demons, the swan unfortunately fell, and the corpse turned into a hill, which led to the existence of Swan Castle.
Legend has it that the Leslie family has the blood of a swan, so for thousands of years, the inheritance of the gifted has not been broken, or there has never been a gifted person in one or two generations, however, there must be a gifted person in the third generation, that is, every three generations must have a gifted person, and there is a transcendent person in the family to support the façade, which is the symbol of the blue-blooded aristocracy.
Therefore, it has been passed down for thousands of years, and the family name has never disappeared, even if it weakens for a short period of time, it will be revitalized again after a while, and it will be transmitted to modern times, although it has not dominated the entire southern part of France as it did in its heyday, and it is only one step away from founding a country and building a business, and fighting against the north, and now, in secret, it still controls the plain of Reims, which is enough to compete with the central division of the empire.
It's just that because of the cooperation that has gained more, the Leslie family has only hidden behind the scenes, and various chess pieces like Viscount Rozier have come forward to rule Lance together with the center of the empire.
Swan Castle is located at the southern foot of the Sun Mountains, at one end of a narrow corridor, and the Reims River flows below the castle, which in the past had to be passed by land or water without going by sea.
At the beginning, the Amurs occupied the Iberian Peninsula, and if they wanted to attack the southern part of France, they had to cross the rolling Sun Mountains, even if they had crossed the Sun Mountains after a lot of hardships, they had to attack Swan Castle through this narrow rift, even if the Amurs had many transcendents, in the end, they also vetoed this offensive route, you know, more than a thousand years ago, the army of the Kingdom of France came to attack the Seven Words Alliance, and they had suffered a great defeat under the Swan Castle, and they had to grit their teeth and admit the existence of the Seven Words Alliance.
So, the Amurs came by sea.
In the sea outside the stars, the navy of the Amurs defeated the navy of the Seven Words Alliance, and soon captured the coastal cities in the south, and the city of Reims also fell into the clutches of the devil, and was ruled by the Amurs for decades, and finally, it was repelled by the imperial army, and it was also because of this merit that Louis, the illegitimate son of the generalissimo King Fran at that time, dared to establish an empire and become the emperor, the supreme supreme.
Speaking of which, the reconquest of Reims City actually had little to do with the Imperial army.
At that time, the main forces of the Imperial army and the Amurs were fighting in two theaters.
The first battlefield was in the Sea of Stars, where the navy of the French Empire and the navy of the Amurs chased each other on the Sea of Stars, sometimes engaging and sometimes confronting, and in most cases, the naval wing of the French Empire was on the passive side, at that time, there was a gap in the strength of the two sides, the ships of the Amurs were stronger, faster, the sailors were more skilled, and the number of extraordinary people related to the sea was much higher.
The stalemate continued, and the Imperial Navy had little chance of victory.
In the end, the Amur Navy seized the main force of the French Navy near Moon Island and surrounded it in the harbor, making it difficult for the French Empire's Navy to break through, so the commander of the Amur Navy at that time gave the order for a full-scale attack.
At the beginning, the situation was indeed moving in Amur's favor.
The battle began at dawn, and after several hours of fierce fighting, most of the capital ships of the French navy were damaged and sunk, but they were just fighting for the beasts, and although the Amur navy also suffered heavy losses, it was able to achieve the final victory.
Here, however, things have taken a turn.
A large fleet came around from behind Moon Island and joined the fray.
This is a British fleet, from the largest island in the Sea of Stars, England, although the British Island is called an island, in fact, it is more like a small continent, although the area cannot be compared with the Noah continent, the many kingdoms on the Noah continent, many kingdoms are not as large as the British Island, this lonely island country hanging overseas, is also a people who believe in God.
Let's put it this way, the ancestors of the current British people are all from the Noah continent, it is a dynasty established in the past when a certain kingdom crossed the sea, and the natives who really live in the island country have now been driven to the northernmost part of the island, although they also belong to the British Kingdom, in fact, they are detached from it, and even, compared to the original Southern Seven Words Alliance and the relationship between the dynasty is even worse.
Because it was an island country, the British Dynasty was dominated by a navy.
This is determined by the geographical location of the British Isles, although there is a small rebellion in the north of the island, the Imperial Army is completely capable of suppressing it, and the real enemy can only come from the sea.
After this navy, which was even more powerful than the French navy, entered the battle, the defeat of the Amurs was assured.
Although the Amur Navy inflicted heavy losses on the French Navy, and sank some British Navy warships in his dying struggle, however, he himself was completely annihilated, except for a very few powerful transcendents who escaped with the help of the sea, even their naval commanders did not escape the fate of falling, and a transcendent who was close to the master was killed on his own flagship.
The second battlefield was on the plain of Irises in the Franco-Empire.
The Iris Plain was like a dividing line, separating the north and south of the empire, and it was a battleground through which the armies of the French Empire went south, or the Amurs went north.
The two armies also fought on this oval-shaped plain.
The result of the battle was the defeat of the Amurs, the fall of a dozen high priests, the collapse of an army of more than 100,000 with heavy casualties, and of course, the losses of the French Empire were so great that it was impossible to launch a pursuit after the war.
The entire Iris Plain was beaten to pieces, and now, it is called Iris Canyon.
There are many lakes in the canyon, and when the sky is clear, the sunlight is reflected and the view from the sky is extremely splendid.
The main force of the Francois army to recover Reims City was the Leslie family, and during the decades that the Amurs ruled Reims City, Swan Castle never fell into the hands of the Amurs, and it was always in the hands of the Leslie family.
That's what the Leslie family is all about.
This is Swan Castle!
