Chapter 152: Red Cloud
The surprise was so great that Marg was almost dumbfounded. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Not bad. 200,000 reinforcements, just outposts......"
Ten years have passed, and Yulan can't remember the appearance of the god of the sky.
For ten years, the Wood Elves have remained on the battlefield throughout the territory. Fight alongside the Berserkers, as well as the Northern Kingdoms propped up by Rudolph and William.
"Oh my God, will he execute King Rudolph?" Margo exclaimed, he remembered something. At the same time, Yulan's face also changed slightly.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Intraroyal City of the North, Cliston. A combination of a city and a military fortress.
As the most upright visual object in the entire North, looking beyond the walls of Claston can create a strange sense of reverence in people, just as when one sees the craggy mountains, the cascading waterfalls, and the high rolling tides. It will cause a kind of spiritual collision and a sense of piety.
Compared to ten years ago, in the defense of the walls, Claiston originally had two concentric castle parapets, which have been reinforced more than once.
The inner walls are getting farther and taller higher than the outer walls, in order to give the archers on the inner walls a greater field of view and firing range. Thus forming crossfire on the inner and outer walls.
It seems that Claiston has faced blows from the sky more than once.
A circular tower was built at each of the four corners of the inner circle, and the elaborately designed tower and gatehouse were able to hold on independently even when the enemy attacked the inner wall. Today, it looks like three corners have been turned into ruins.
Claston's tall walls were surrounded by a huge lake that surrounded the castle as a moat. It's a pity to face an attack from the sky. It's not of any use.
Overall, the city fortress provided a solid defense for its lord lord, which has resisted numerous attacks by the winged ghosts, and is where the kings of the northern kingdoms now live.
Clairston isn't big, but 100,000 civilians are staying in Cliston right now. It's a bit crowded.
The bard described such a life in these words about the different classes: "The rich live in the cities, the poor live in huts, and the God of life makes them high and low, arranging their wealth and poverty." β
In Sauron's eyes, Claiston today is just as he was ten years ago. Faced with various negative data such as hygiene, public security, and congestion.
The only difference from the last time was that no one in the city was terrified in the face of the fog of war. On the contrary, they seemed very numb, as if they had long been used to it. In addition, in the entire fortress city with a population of 100,000, the elderly, women and children occupy more than half, not to mention adult men, and even children who are more than half the height of adults are rare.
Ten years of war had turned the fortress of Clareston into the most populous city in the Northern Kingdom.
More northerners, not have fled to the Sky Empire. It is to migrate to hidden wilderness, deep in the mountains, or die on the battlefield.
The council hall is made of white marble.
"The Great is above, your warrior...... Rudolph. β
Although Rudolph has an extra crown on his head that makes Zoro feel uncomfortable.
But looking closely, you can see that these eyes were very arrogant at the last moment, but there is only humility and reverence at this moment. There was even a hazy mist of water.
There seemed to be no focus in these golden pupils.
The flaxen-colored head was already mixed with a lot of white silk, as well as the three bear paw marks on the wrist, which were neatly arranged in a zigzag, and they had not been erased.
"King of the North, Rudolph. Loyalty is 9 stars, and command is 8 stars. As the king of the north, this person has absolute loyalty and strong combat enthusiasm, and has unique experience and command ability to coordinate the overall situation. β
The reaction of the data illustrates a problem.
Although Rudolph was crowned king without permission, his loyalty does not seem to have changed in the slightest.
Zoro watched his combat power, but it didn't seem to be much of an improvement compared to ten years ago. "Personal charisma, weapon mastery 1o stars, infantry combat mastery 9 stars, general potential 8 stars. For the battlefield of foot combat, he has unique experience and methods. This man will fight for honor and conquest. β
Sauron stood in front of Rudolph and suddenly reached out to remove the crown from his head, and then looked at everyone in astonishment. The king's crown, like a piece of bread, fell into the hands of Count William.
"Ten years ago, Rudolph, as a general of the Legion, left the Empire without permission and remained in the north to be crowned king, which was a desecration of the oath. Now, deprive Rudolph of all honorary titles, as a hoplite, immediately report to the front-line corps. β¦β¦ William is crowned King of the Northern Kingdom! β
Hearing Sauron's order, two Chosen Templars immediately dragged Rudolph out of the council chamber.
Then, Sauron raised his boots and quickly left the chamber.
During this period, in addition to punishing Rudolph, he did not say a word to William, not even a single look.
Rudolph's Confessions; "For ten years, I have not fulfilled my mission to protect the empire, and I am not a good general. My legion is also dead, and I am not a good king. I am willing to accept my punishment and die one day on the battlefield as an infantryman! β
William's Confessions; "Sauron's will cannot be disobeyed. He founded the Northern Kingdom privately, but lost most of the northern territory. I'm afraid I won't be able to get King Rudolph's crown back......"
The following is a piece of Sauron's mental activity;
"Although, in a sense, Alice and Selena can only be regarded as siblings of this body."
"But the two bastards, without saying hello, married them."
This made Sauron feel very unpleasant. Although it is only unpleasant, Sauron's unhappiness is often very different from the unhappiness of ordinary people.
In Sauron's memory, Alice had a waterfall-long, elegant melon seed face, like a gentle cloud floating in front of Zoro's eyes.
Alice's whole body is full of girlish innocence and youthful demeanor.
Now, she has become a neglected queen, and her eyes are full of sadness and sadness.
"Rudolph, the bastard, has actually married sixteen wives in succession. He still has no honor and shame. Even if he won over the hearts of the people and the nobles to hand over the soldiers to him, he couldn't even marry a noble woman in her forties. β
Selena, as the wife of Count William.
She still has a long silver head like seaweed, typical of Reinhardt's blood.
Her eyes are also silver, and there is not much sadness in them, and from the attributes, William treats her very well.
Blackwater.
The night breeze blew, revealing the row of pale yellow foreheads under the bumpy gray hat.
The long heads below are braided into small braids one by one, and then twisted into a large braid and put on the shoulders.
Although half-lying on a reef on the beach, the girl was slender, with slender arms and long white gloves, and elegant calves in elegantly narrow shoes.
Claudia, ten years later, she still hasn't changed much. In addition to a fuller Peugeot body.
The night blurred the sea and the land, and the tranquility of the sea made her see a strange figure.
Claudia suddenly let herself slide down the reef, stepped on another reef with both feet, touched the reef immersed in the seawater, and walked off step by step.
There was not a sound around, and it felt the same when you opened your eyes as if you closed them.
She knew that if she continued to move forward, the vast and deep sea might disappear into it silently and disappear into the vast night.
But Claudia did not have the slightest fear or panic, and moved forward little by little.
Suddenly, she heard a "whoosh" under her feet... The sound of flowing water, which is produced by the meandering flow of water through the reef, seems to warn, "You are close to the water." β
"Summoner, long time no see!"
Looking closely, the two eyebrows gave her eyes a special colorβtwo hazel, fluffy, almost straight lines.
Ten years later, Claudia no longer looks like the teenage girl she used to be. She is more mature.
"What man!?"
Nora, the female knight. As in Sauron's memory,
The blackness of her head was like a waterfall pouring down from a mountain stream on a quiet moonlit night.
In all fairness, the beautiful woman is a masterpiece of the heavens. And a female knight. It is also a conspicuous scenery.
Nora, the Earl of Blackwater City, has a pair of crystal clear eyes, and her eyes are shining. The delicate curves, covered with black high-quality armor, show a unique beauty, like a budding bud blooming faintly, which makes people feel refreshed.
"Very good, I didn't expect you to be a countess."
When she saw the contours of Zoro's face, like Claudia, Nora's eyes filled with shock. Then he was slightly stunned. Get down on one knee gently. "Your Majesty!"
Zoro glanced the other party up and down, and said calmly, "Nora, tonight, the summoner will spend the night with me, and the location is in ...... In a stable a kilometer to the north. Kindness...... If you want to come. β
Claudia's face flushed, her big eyes blinked, and she swallowed deeply, as if she had calmed down. He smiled coyly at Nora.
Just in the face of Nora's puzzled gaze, for a moment, it seemed as if all the blood in her body had concentrated on Claudia's face, which was covered with crimson colors.
Seeing Claudia like a child who did something wrong. With his head down, he followed Zoro and walked away.
When Nora suddenly came back to her senses, she remembered what Zoro had just said. "In a stable, a thousand meters to the north. Kindness...... If you want to come. β
It's only for a short time. But Fu Da only felt dizzy, and his body was crisp, as if he was drunk.
This feeling. Nora felt intolerable humiliation, and her face was full of heat. But Sauron wasn't an ordinary person after all, and Nora stood up, showing a little inexplicable restraint, and then, her cheeks turned red.
His word is an oracle. And Sauron's will must not be disobeyed ......"
In all fairness, Sauron is in line with any woman's affection.
Spending a night with a god is far more rewarding than spending a lifetime with a pot-bellied old aristocrat. In order to retain her position as Earl of Blackwater, Nora is being forced to marry an old Earl.
"God's woman, no one dares to touch it casually, and this may save her situation."
Calm down and think about the question.
A ashamed soul rampaged through the narrow space between the temples, seemingly full of hatred to tear his own shell.
Eventually, the nora face faces in the direction of the north. Her cheeks burned with a vivid flush, her eyebrows faded, and her eyes were lowered, their long eyelashes moving slightly.
Having endured for ten years, as a statue, made Zoro a little afraid of loneliness.
Especially at night, in fact, no matter how hard you try to escape loneliness, loneliness always accompanies you in every minute of your life.
If Sauron had to describe it, loneliness is the shadow of the soul, and the brighter the place, the deeper the shadow.
Loneliness cannot be defeated, even by demigods.
Loneliness cannot be suppressed, and the best way to deal with loneliness is to be aware of its existence and be willing to live with it.
And this is by no means an easy task, because loneliness has just emerged, and one immediately does something to "distract" it, so that the mind does not feel its presence.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The crimson morning glow soaked the eastern sky, and the vast land was still immersed in the deep night.
The red clouds crisscross the sky, and in the shaded gaps of the black buildings, they bloom with wanton agitation, which makes people's hearts surge.
The last time I saw the rising sun, I can't remember when it was. Perhaps because I like the sunset more, the sunset seems to be deeper and more nostalgic, and the sunrise always gives people a fragile and thin feeling. But in fact, when you think about it, the visual difference between the morning glow and the sunset is not big.
Turning around, on the haystack, under the cover of a layer of light yarn. The slender, slender, textured calves belong to Claudia the Summoner, who has a strange complexion and a petite, light body.
In comparison, Nora has a graceful figure, plump and elastic, with her own unique curves.
Under the morning sun, turn a grassy slope. Far away, the legions had been assembled. The moment of a full-scale offensive is imminent.
In the early morning, Claudia and Nora looked a little shy, as if a late-blooming flower seemed to hide behind green leaves and dare not show their faces.
"Claudia, my beautiful summoner!" Zoro looked over with interest.
Claudia blushed, lowered her head, and only whispered in agreement.
Suddenly, his eyes shone with a strange light, and he smiled. Raising his head, he didn't have that shy expression, but looked at himself with a look full of admiration, and couldn't tolerate anything else.
"Beautiful Count Nora, look up."
Zoro stretched out his index finger and tapped the other's chin. Nora blushed suddenly, not like an adult, but like a child, almost in tears. (To be continued.) )
