Act XLIV. Battle of Keynzburg IV.

"I don't think so. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

At the moment when Viscount Fermi's words were spoken, Princess Elyfils felt that the air around her was lowered to freezing, and in the heavy snow, the two parties confronted each other quietly, and Princess Elyfils saw Viscount Wellington quietly clenching the sword in his hand, although the poison had not completely dissipated, but if the other party wanted to be unfavorable to her, Viscount Wellington would inevitably come forward.

The scene was shrouded in silence, only the howl of the wind and snow, and the sound of artillery fire in the south of the city echoed in my ears.

Viscount Fermi then glanced at Alysfers, and then spoke.

"I want to know, what is the goal of Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

“...... My goal ......"

Princess Eliefils fell into thought, she didn't know what Viscount Fermi meant in his words, so she didn't dare to answer directly, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't have a better answer, so Princess Eliefils decided to answer according to what she wanted in her heart.

"I want to save the country."

Princess Elyfils's words overshadowed the earth-shattering cannon fire and reached the ears of everyone present.

"I have traveled from the Trestan Fortress to the Mordred Plateau, to the Misty Forest, and finally to this plain, and I have seen the ferocity of the Wendland soldiers, the suffering of the people of Aster, and the decay of the nobles......"

Effils said, looking directly into Viscount Fermi's eyes, and she saw that there seemed to be a ripple in the pupils that were as calm as water.

"Even so, I want to save this country, not only because I am the princess of Aster, but also because I am a child of Aster, and I love this land that gave birth to me and raised me, this is my home."

Not many of those present may know the true meaning of Elifils's words, but even if they were not clear, her words touched the hearts of many people present, including soldiers of the Third Legion, garrisons of Kainzburg, and even soldiers under Viscount Fermi.

In this era when the national consciousness was not yet fully embryonic, the common people and soldiers mostly followed their lords, who in turn were attached to the larger aristocracy, and the nobles were under the rule of the royal family, and they did not have much concept of the state, but only loyalty to the monarch.

This loyalty is usually based on the alignment of interests and the cruel punishment of the betrayer, and when the chain of interests is not secured, or the punishment cannot be implemented, as in the current time of war, then it is easy to breed traitors like Geralheide.

At this moment, Elyfils is trying to awaken the national consciousness that is sleeping in people's hearts, and only by awakening this national consciousness will they fight for the country, not simply for their own interests and the lords above their heads, and only in this way can people who truly love this country be born.

At present, Wendland's large-scale invasion has caused all beings to suffer and suffer, but it has also indirectly accelerated the awakening of the national consciousness of the Astor people, the people have been slaughtered by Wendland, the soldiers have fought with Wendland at close range in the war, and the nobles on the front line have gradually realized that this war is not as simple as the game of the nobles of the two countries.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, my family has lived in this land for nearly a thousand years, my ancestors were the servants of Velen at first, and then participated in the war to overthrow the Black Mad Lord, only to obtain the title and inherit this territory, but soon after, this became the domain of the second son of the royal family, despite this, the Fermi family is still the largest family in this Keinz territory, and we are responsible for all the affairs of this territory, assisting the new lord to rule."

Viscount Fermi said, standing motionless in the ever-increasing wind and snow, like a stone statue.

"However, Prince Leotis has upset this balance by expelling us from the lord's chamber and taking the command of the troops for himself, not only the Fermi family, but all the other nobles of Zedi, so, princess, I want to know what your goal is."

This calm accusation, colder than snowflakes, is the persistence of a family that has lasted for thousands of years.

"If you just want to use us to defeat the Wendran army, and then dominate the land like Prince Leotis, then I'm sorry, even if you are called a traitor, I will draw my sword against you."

Viscount Fermi went on to say that the Starlight Banner in his hand loomed in the glow of the cannonballs.

"If you really want to do it for this country, then I want to believe you, because this Kainzburg, this Kainz territory, this land is our home."

Princess Eliefils was silent.

She was thinking about whether she was qualified to take on this responsibility, she didn't want to be a king, she just wanted the country she loved so much to be safe, and if there was anything that drove her forward, then this sense of responsibility, and deep love was the biggest motivation.

Princess Elyfils had a promise in her heart that she could do at any cost, and at this moment, although she could not tell anyone else, she knew that there was something she had to do.

"I'm named after Elie Fils. Feng. In the name of Astoria, I will fight for Astor until the last drop of my blood is shed, Wolfgang. Viscount Fermi, would you like to help me fight against Wendeland's invasion? ”

When Viscount Fermi heard this, his eyes finally felt a little more recognized, and he held high the Star Banner in his hand and responded solemnly and solemnly.

"Wolfgang. Fermi, and his Kainz, command two thousand five hundred soldiers throughout the territory, at your disposal, Your Highness the Princess. ”

When he said this, the starry flag that had been hanging low was instantly blown up by a gust of wind, and the flag fluttered, lighting up a little starlight on this starless night.

Then, from behind Viscount Wellington, another flag was raised.

Silver-edged, black-bottomed, and in the center is the shining silver moon Eustia, and under the moonlight, a lily blooms quietly, reflecting the star flag in Viscount Fermi's hand.

Silver Moon Lily Flag.

This is the flag that represents Princess Elyfils.

Thousands of years ago, in the battle against the Black Mad King, the sages representing Astor first fought on the battlefield with the Silver Moon Lily Banner, but after the war, in accordance with the will of the original King Asther, this banner was sealed, and no one can use it again unless Astor is once again in danger of overthrowing the whole country.

Now, however, the flag is flying again in Keynzburg, and even after a millennium of mothballs at the bottom of the warehouse, it still shines brightly, illuminating the dark night sky.

"Let's go, Lord Fermi, Lord Wellington."

Erifels was not happy about this, she knew that the enemy they faced in front of them was not something that could be easily defeated by putting up a banner.

And the night is still very long. (To be continued.) )
