Chapter 35: Grudges

The Kingdom of Vegia and the Kingdom of Nord have a long-standing feud, and it can even be estimated that the date of the Battle of the Five Armies (Volume 7) can be calculated. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

A long time ago, on the distant continent of Calradia, a wise monarch Charlemagne (Book III, Chapter 11) ended thousands of years of war on the continent of Calradia with his extraordinary intellect and established a powerful empire whose territory covered almost the entire continent of Calradia, and this empire was named Kalade.

The Karad dynasty remained peaceful for thousands of years, without war, and the continent of Karad, where the agricultural economy was booming, became an ideal hometown for the bards, and also attracted many foreign peoples.

For a time, the Nords came to the northern coast from the northern continent of Yamunah, the land of ice and snow on the northern continent, the Viggians crossed the northern mountains from the Charonai continent to the present-day Vigia plain, the Kugit also drove cattle and sheep from the eastern mountains to the Tulka plain, and even the old neighbor of the Karad kingdom, the Salander Sultanate, began to increase trade with the empire. At first, it was just a few people who came to the mainland in search of wealth, and the old king did not take any measures but allowed them to establish simple ethnic settlements in their respective landing places, but as the population continued to increase, the threat of aliens to the empire became more and more great, and finally on a calm morning, some strange ships appeared on the sea level in the north of the empire. Then, as the number of ships grew, and eventually the number of people was too numerous to be counted, a huge fleet of keels washed up on the beach, and the Nords who jumped from the boats, dressed in leather armor and chain mail armed with battle axes and round shields, quickly formed a battle formation and began to march inland, and the war began.

The continent of Calradia had not experienced war for too long, and the Empire's army was too lazy and lazy to compete with these tough guys from the land of Amana, the land of ice and snow, and the Nord's footsteps barely stopped for a moment, and when sunset on the fourth day, the Nest and its surroundings fell into the hands of the Nords.

But the nightmare did not end, the Nords did not only land on the coast of Wocheze, but also a large number of Nords landed near Cherbek, Tiha, Sagos and other places, and at the same time that the Nords wanted to launch an attack in these areas, the original Nord settlers in the city also began to cooperate with the outside world, and the defense became very difficult, and some castles had to start expelling and even slaughtering the Nords who were still in the city.

A month later, the Nords began their first large-scale offensive against the Tiha and Sagos regions after completing their assembly, and the "Northern Campaign" officially began.

The "Northern Campaign" was divided into three phases, the first of which was the offensive of the Nords on the outer defensive rings of Tiha and Sagos; The second stage is the fall of Tiha; The third stage was a general assault on Sagos. (For details, see Volume VII: The Battle of the Five Armies).

The Nords were the most suitable troops to siege the city, and it was only a matter of time before Tiha and Sagoth fell in the face of the large number of Nords.

The emperor of the empire also knew that the Kalad royal family had abandoned the imperial capital of Sargos, escaped the pursuit of the Nords, and fled to the plains.

The imperial lords of the plains were armed mainly by knights and cavalry. The Nords, on the other hand, are completely different. The Nord people's homeland, the northern continent, is a bitter cold land, which is not suitable for the large-scale reproduction of horses and other animals. And the Nords are not about agility but about strength. Therefore, except for the lords and a small number of scouts, the Nord army was basically all infantry. The Nords, who had no cavalry, were routed by the cavalry on the plains and forced to retreat to the north, where they established the Nord kingdom.

Under these circumstances, the royal family that moved their capital to Parabun changed the name of the kingdom to the Kingdom of Swadia and sent a secret letter to the leader of the snowy people Vigia. The content of the secret letter was that the Vigians would stab the Nords in the back, and on the condition that the kingdom give the prosperous county of Zhivadin to Viggia and promise to officially recognize the Vigians' ownership of the Kurau region. The leader of Virginia, who had always lived in the bitter cold, naturally agreed to the tempting conditions. The Vigians quickly assembled a large army, and the Vino War officially began. Although the cavalry of the Vigians was far less effective than the knights of the Swadian Kingdom, they still caused a lot of trouble for the Nord army. The Nord army on the Zhivading front lost its solid rear and began to return to the defense. The loss of Wocheze meant that the Nords would lose the entire northern coast in order to consolidate their support Gangding. Troops from the front line began to be deployed to support the Wocheze.

The Nords, with a total of 60,000 men, rushed to the Heilmann Forest outside the city of Wocheze before the Virgians. The Heilmann Forest is a highland area where tall and dense woods grow and there are few shrubs, and people can walk through the forest without hindrance. Once in the Heilmann Forest, the road becomes narrower and more muddy. The ranks of the Virgian army grew longer and longer. Just as the army was exhausted, with a majestic trumpet, the Nord attack began. Countless bows and arrows and javelins were fired from the woods on both sides of the road, and the unsuspecting Vigia soldiers fell. The Vidians who were attacked by the surprise did not panic, they quickly raised their shields and shrunk their formation, but the Nords came and went quickly, and by the time the Virgians wanted to fight well, they had long since lost their sights. King Virgia then ordered to move on. This time the Nords did not attack them again. The army of Vecchia staggered to a canyon. The Nords had cut down dozens of large trees beforehand, blocking the way of the Vigians. The Vigian soldiers were busy for a long time, barely clearing a path that could be passed by the soldiers, but the carriages had to be abandoned. Given the order to discard the wagon, the Vigian soldiers immediately left their ranks and scrambled to climb onto the wagon to get their valuables, completely ignoring the commander's reprimand, and in a moment the Vigian army was in disarray. The Nords, seeing that the time had come, ordered a general attack. With a thunderous shout, the Nords rushed out of the forest like a flash flood. The Nord royal guards rushed to the front brandishing their battle axes. The Vigian soldiers, bent over by the fine weight of gold and silver, were cut down one by one.

The king of Vigia saw that things were not good, and ordered a retreat, but it was easy to come and difficult to go, the Vigia army was divided into several parts at this time, and the onslaught of the Nords was wave after wave, and it was impossible to tell how many people there were, and gradually more and more Vigya soldiers fell in the mud, and the formation of the Vigia army became more and more loose. The lone Virgians were no match for the Nords at all, and were almost all slaughtered, leaving no chance of surrender. The panicked old king fought his way out of the siege under the protection of the noble knights of Vegia, and the proud marksmen of the Vigians tried to form a formation to continue the resistance, but the archers did not remember much in the confusion. By evening, the battle was largely over. Of the more than 150,000 Vigian soldiers, less than 50,000 escaped the forest.

Since then, the war between the Kingdom of Vegia and the Kingdom of Nord has never been interrupted, thousands of years of war have brought a deeper and deeper feud, if the country in the world wants to put Nord to death, it must not be the expelled Svadia, and the Kingdom of Vegia, which has accumulated grievances for thousands of years.

Just like thousands of years ago, when Francis's secret letter arrived, the Kingdom of Virgia did not hesitate to send troops, targeting the only heir of the Nord Kingdom, Crown Prince Teddy, the idea of the Kingdom of Virgia was very simple, to make the Nord royal family completely extinct!
