In Nila, the local people have very different customs from Knight, they like to keep elephants and other beasts as pets, and hunting is their main source of food. In the southern part of the Nila Empire, there is the most extensive rainforest area on the mainland, where there is abundant rain all year round, and dense forests are overgrown everywhere. The industrious and unpretentious people of Nila are good at singing and dancing, and they have lived in this vast mountain forest for generations.

The long Nila River flowed from west to east through the northern part of the empire, and after millions of years of erosion, a large impact plain was formed in the central part of the slower northern border, which was the only fertile land in the Nila Empire. The ancient capital of the East, Nilagus, is located on the eastern side of this plain, on the north bank of the Nila River, and is the political, economic, military and cultural center of the six million Nila people.

In the city of Nilagus, there is no towering residence of the noble knights, nor is there a bell tower like a forest, and there are different Nila colors everywhere. Unlike the Knights, the Nila did not like to build their houses with stone, preferring wooden houses, presumably because of the forested nature of the Nila and the ease of use of materials for their construction. And because there is a lot of rain in the empire, they also like to cover the roof with colorful tiles to prevent water and leakage on the roof.

However, for those large buildings, the Nila people still used solid stone to build them. The Royal Palace of Nila was carved out of stone by the Nila people, and it is the largest and most lavishly decorated complex in the city of Nilagus.

The most majestic building is naturally the palace hall of Nila, which is the palace of the Nila dynasty and where all the major decisions of the empire are made.

The royal family of Nila is descended from the ancient Nikolai people, and the current kingdom is Nikolai XXV Hoot. King Hoot is now five years old Chinese New Year's Eve and at the height of his reign. However, the king of Nila was not very interested in internal affairs, he paid great attention to the military and warfare of the empire, and at the same time had a great preference for women.

Nicholas XXV, sitting high on the throne of King Nila, looked nonchalantly at Bedoria, kneeling at the foot of the steps.

Bedoria was one of the four guardians of the Nila Empire, and although he was in a high position in the empire, he was like a slave in front of the king of Nila, trembling and kneeling on the ground, so frightened that he didn't even dare to raise his head.

The ministers stood neatly on both sides of the main hall, and since King Nila had not spoken, no one dared to say anything, and there was silence above the main hall.

Suddenly, King Nira rose into a rage, waved his hand and smashed a string of fierce slams at the kneeling Bedoria, almost roaring in a roaring voice: "Bastard, the 40,000 troops of my empire have been reduced to only one legion of Elton by you. What kind of bullshit guardian are you, you should call our empire a loser, you might as well be Elton. An incompetent guy like you, what's the use of me leaving you, drag him out and cut him down for me. ”

The two palace guards immediately walked towards Bedoria, dragged him towards the door, and no matter how Betilia begged for mercy, King Nila would not be relentless when he was killed.

Several of the ministers appeared to intercede for Bedolia, but before they could speak, King Nila immediately rebuked: "Do not think of interceding for him, or you will be punished with him." ”

Wang Wei could not be offended, and the ministers had to retreat from the queue in frustration.

King Nila sat on the throne, panting with his head up, restraining the anger in his heart with all his might.

After a moment, King Nila changed his face to a smiling face, and called out to one of them in an inquiring tone, "Duke Batun, you also heard the humiliation of my empire just now. My 30,000-strong army has been assembled in the camp outside the city, and now the imperial army is short of a respected commander, what are you waiting for? ”

At the age of forty-eight, Batun is in his fifties, he is the soul of the Imperial battlefield, he is the first of the four guardians, and he is the symbol of the Nila Imperial army. Because Batun was against the Empire and was hostile to the Knights, he had refused to participate in the previous expedition to the west, hoping that King Nila would call off his troops and let the empire recuperate.

However, King Nila, who was full of passion for the war, still did not give up, and the Seoul that he had obtained was taken by the Knights, which made him very unwilling and felt the need to take Seoul back again.

In the face of the persecution of King Nila, Batun replied without hesitation: "Your Majesty, the minister has already persuaded you, whether they have died or not, the Nate people are a giant beast to us. Now that the Knight have formed a new Alto Empire, this beast has awakened completely, and we must not use it again. Your Majesty should immediately send an emissary to Carter with a large number of jewels and gold objects, and beg him to make peace with our Nila Empire, otherwise our Empire will be in danger. ”

King Nila sneered: "This Carter has beaten the Tubisi people and offended the Beijung people, and now he is the common enemy of our three major empires, no matter how powerful his Alto Empire is, he can still be stronger than the previous knight kingdom?" ”

Batun patiently replied: "Your Majesty, this Carter was originally just a farmer's son, and he relied on his strong skills and abilities to become the king of the Knights. This man made himself a king at the age of nineteen, which shows that this man's skills are extraordinary. He has countless capable ministers under his hands, and there are countless excellent commanders, and even his princess Betty is also a legendary figure. ”

"Really?" King Nila replied lightly, "That's right, you go and get Carter off for me, and then get that Betty back for me." I like such a good woman. ”

"Your Majesty." , Batun pleaded bitterly: "The fate of a country must not be such a child's play." ”

Hearing Batun say this, King Nila got up angrily, stretched out his hand and pointed at Batun and reprimanded: "Speaking of which, you just don't want to go out for this king, do you think I don't know? Hum! ”

After speaking, King Nila shook his cuffs at Batun, and then left directly in a huff.

Under the comfort of the ministers, Batun shook his head and sighed and walked out of the main hall, and returned to his imperial duke's palace weakly.

Nineteen-year-old Funina's youngest daughter in Batun immediately greeted her father with a smile when she saw her father come home dejected. The moment he saw his daughter Funina, Batun's face was immediately full of smiles, and he hugged Funina in his arms very lovingly.

Batun originally had three sons, but all three of them unfortunately passed away one after another. The eldest son was more courageous, and when he was young, he was shot by a poisonous stray arrow and died when he was fighting bandits in the mountains and forests on the south side with the imperial army. The second son is not angry, he always likes to fight with people in the street, and finally died in a group fight. The third son is the most pitiful, this child is very good when he is young, and was once regarded as his heir by Batun. Unfortunately, while playing in the wild, he was accidentally bitten by a Nila snake and died of poison before he could be treated.

After the third son was bitten to death by a poisonous snake, Batun's wife could no longer bear the pain of losing her son, and finally fell ill and died. Now Batun's only relative is only the youngest daughter Funina, the father and daughter depend on each other and have a good relationship, Batun especially cherishes his precious daughter Funina. So even though he was in the king's hands, as soon as he saw his daughter Funina, his mood immediately improved.

However, this Funnina is no ordinary person, and she is a must in the empire in Nila.

Funnina not only inherited her mother's stunning beauty, but also had a beautiful figure and smooth and fair skin. The Nila people, who are good at singing and dancing, regard women as dancing and respecting. The biggest feature of Funina is that she has a talent for dancing like flowing water. Her dancing style is unique in the Nila Empire, coupled with her glamorous and charming appearance, people in the empire reverently call Funina the goddess Nila.

In the temple of the Nila, the idol of the goddess is at the head of the gods, symbolizing the birth of the great Nila people, who worship the goddess no less than King Nicholas XXV. The goddess is especially famous for her beauty, and her dancing posture is stunning all over the world, and there is a mythical story about the courtship of the goddess in the empire.

Because Funnina is so good, the world worships her as a goddess, and her reputation and status in the empire are not comparable to Betty of Knight and Erin of Tubis.

As a Nila girl, it's not a good thing to be too famous, let alone being revered as the goddess Nila.

When Funnina was twelve years old, the year the knightly kingdom had just been destroyed. Twenty-eight-year-old King Hort came to watch Funina's dance. Heot, who already had eight imperial concubines, came prepared with bad intentions. After admiring Funina's wonderful dancing, he even forced a marriage contract with Batun to make Funina with him in advance in the name of courting him with the goddess's dance.

King Heot is infatuated with Funina, not only to get her soft body, but more importantly, to marry the legendary goddess Nila, so that he can better consolidate his throne as king. In the legend of the Nila people, the goddess courted the man who eventually became the king of the Nila people, and the throne was passed down in the hands of their descendants for thousands of years.

Although this is only a myth, the people of Nila believe in the goddess very much, and many people are convinced that the husband of the goddess is likely to be the future king of Nila. That's why King Heot forced him to betrothed Phonina to him at the risk of offending the Empire's Guardian Batun.

At the same time, King Heot's infatuation with Funnina almost reached the point of madness. He waited hard for Funnina to grow up, and every time he had fun with his princesses, he fantasized about them as Funina, so that he could feel more exciting and crazy.

Now that Funnina has turned nineteen, Hort has mentioned the marriage to Batun many times, but each time Batun has used other excuses to refuse. Batun loves his precious daughter very much, cherishing her even more than his own life. Batun knew that Heott was a crazy man who did not spare women, and if he married Funina to the king, it would be tantamount to ruining the happiness of Funana's life.

Seeing that Batun refused to marry Funina to him, Heot was so anxious that he almost went crazy, and in a fit of rage, he swung his sword and killed all his imperial concubines, and used this as an excuse to persecute Batun. But Batun still did not give in, and used Funina's illness as an excuse to delay the marriage indefinitely again.

Heot was furious and waited bitterly for the opportunity to subdue the Batun father and daughter. The Empire's defeat in Seoul gave hope to Heot, and this time King Heot was ruthless and decided to kill Batun, and he had to get Funnina.

On the night of Batun's return from the palace, Heot personally surrounded the Imperial Duke's Palace with his bodyguards, preparing to forcibly take Funina.

Heot was almost arrogant, and he brazenly said to Batun: "Don't worry, I will never harm our great Nila goddess Funina. She eats and wears, whatever she needs, I will do everything the empire has to satisfy her. You can rest assured of her safety, I will arrange for Minister Elvis to take care of her personally, and no one can threaten her safety, including me. ”

Batun pleaded bitterly: "Your Majesty, I only have such a child, you can't treat me like this." ”

"I can't help it, who made you refuse to go to Nate all the time, I have to make such a decision for the sake of the Empire." Aren't you very reluctant to marry Funnina to me? Well, I can promise you. As long as you can lead the army and take back the territory of Seoul from the Knights, then I will return Funina to you immediately, and I will never mention this marriage again. But if you haven't captured the Seoul territory within a year, then I'm not in good hands. On the day you return to Nicholas, the day I marry Fonina, I will give you another knighthood. How about the Duke, whether you succeed or fail, it is a good thing for you, and the choice is completely in your own hands. ”

Although the king's actions made Batun feel cold, he did not push himself into a corner. That Elvis is an important minister of the empire, this person enforces the law impartially and justly, and he is also his best friend in the empire for many years.

Everything seemed to have room for salvation, and in order for Funina to no longer be troubled by the king in the future, Batun tearfully accepted the conditions set by the king.

Before leaving, the Imperial ministers came to see him off en masse, and Elvis was nowhere to be seen. A commander of the Imperial Capital garrison privately told Batun: "Lord Elvis has been guarding Funina's side, so he has not been able to come to see off the Duke, and please don't blame the Duke." ”

Batun nodded again and again and said, "Okay, okay, good." If you go back and speak to him for me, you will say that I will never forget the kindness of Lord Elvis to me in this life. ”

After bidding farewell to many officialdom colleagues in the empire, Batun led 5,000 elite knights from the Duke's Palace, with 30,000 imperial troops, and quickly rushed to the western border town of Gadi.
