Prologue: The Fall of Runes
Ancient times
Monsters are rampant on the continent
People were ravaged by monsters
But there is nothing that can be done about it
You can only sit and wait
Just when people are in despair
And when he looked up to the sky and sighed
A ray of hope was born
γSacred Stoneγ
Possess the power of exorcism
Five Sacred Arcana
The brave men led by the hero Gurad
Holding the [Holy Stone] and fighting the monsters
And finally eliminated the Demon King
Seal his soul into the Sacred Stone
The monster disappeared from the continent
Peace was finally ushered in
However......
βββ
Marki? About 800 years have passed peacefully since the destruction of the monsters that roamed the continent in ancient times...... People used the [sacred stone] handed down from ancient times as a guardian stone, and several countries were formed.
The kingdom of Runes ruled by the [Brave King] who is good at martial arts.
The kingdom of Frelia ruled by the wise King Hayden.
The kingdom of Jahana, ruled by Ishmeya, the Queen of the White Sands, who is famous for her beauty.
The Holy Church of Roston, ruled by the affectionate [Orthodox Pope] Mansell
The Gurad Empire ruled by the benevolent [Moderate Emperor] Pigard.
In addition to the 5 traditional countries that have the Sacred Stone, there is also the Republic of Cardino, a new commercial country.
At some point, people gradually forgot about the existence of demons and the great war in ancient times...... The mainland remained quietly peaceful.
However, in the year 803 of the continental calendar...... Anomalies occur frequently throughout the continent.
Among the countries that hold the [Holy Stone], the Gulard Empire, which has the largest territory, suddenly launched an attack on the Kingdom of Runes under the orders of Emperor Pigard.
After being raided by the Gurad Empire, which had been an ally for many years, the inland kingdom of Runes was unable to organize an effective counterattack, and the fortresses fell one after another.
Prince Iverem, who happened to leave the royal capital during the war, was also cut off.
Emperor Gurad**, who took advantage of the situation, finally arrived at the royal capital.
The kingdom of Runes is on the verge of destruction......
βββ
Soldier: Report, report!
The defense line of the city gate has been breached!
Emperor Gourad**, led by Emperor Pigald, has invaded the city!
Fard: Really......
Soldier: Our defense units have been routed...... And there was also a loss of contact with Prince Iverem at the front.
The reinforcements are probably no longer available...... Your Majesty, if you go on like this......
Franco-German: ...... It seems that this is the end of it.
Give the order to our soldiers to surrender.
Erech: Father......
Fard: Erech.
Do you have the wrist wheel I gave you?
Erek: Yes, here......
Fard: Okay...... Seth.
Seth: Yes.
Fard: Take Erek with you and flee to Freria.
You can turn to King Hayden of Frelia for help.
He should protect you.
Seth: Yes.
But Your Majesty, you ......
Fard: I'm going to stay here.
Why did the Gulard Empire, which had been allied with us, make such a move......
I had to figure out what they were for.
The responsibility for Runes' demise lies with me.
It is my duty to live and die with the destiny of my country.
Erech: How so...... Father...... If my father wants to stay here, I will stay with me......
Fard: Let's go, Seth.
Erec: Father!
Seth: Please forgive me for being rude, Princess Ereco.
Franco: Iverem, Ereco...... You can't die.
βββ
Franz: General Seth!
Seth: Franz, you should go to Freria to deliver the news first.
If you are alone, you are not easy to be attacked by the enemy, and at the same time you can make great achievements.
Remember to tell the king in detail what had happened and ask for help.
Franz: Yes, yes!
Seth: Princess Ereko, let's hurry up too......
Volta: I even brought a woman with me.
Is that woman the princess of Runes? Hmph, it looks like I'm really lucky.
There is no forgiveness for the killing of men.
I accepted the female one unceremoniously.
Seth:!
Volta: My name is Moonstone Volta.
One of the generals of the Gulard Empire.
You will be defeated by my hands.
Seth: Uh......
Volta: Oh, can you still move with such a bad injury? That's interesting......
Run, run! Flee with a sense of dying.
Let's make the game longer enjoyable.
βββ
Seth: Princess Ereko, over here.
There are no more soldiers in sight of Goulard.
If you escape here, you should be safe for the time being.
Please forgive me for the rudeness along the way.
Erec: Nothing, Seth.
Without you, I wouldn't have been able to escape the palace...... I'm alive now thanks to you.
Thank you very much.
Arek: Besides, you've been so badly injured to protect me...... Hurry up and find a place to be treated......
Seth: This level of injury doesn't get in the way.
But Princess Ereco, we must hurry to Freria.
The kindness of His Majesty Franco-German must not be wasted......
Erec: ...... Father, he stayed in the city...... Nothing will happen, right? In addition, he also ...... his brother, who has been cut off.
Seth: His Majesty Fard and Prince Iverem are very strong people.
Even if the opponent is Emperor Gurad, the two of them should be fine.
Princess Ereko, you should worry about yourself now rather than worry about them.
If you had a case, how sad would those two of you...... In order to see them again in the future, we must now rush to Frelia as soon as possible.
Arek: You're right...... I had to pull myself together until I saw my father and brother again.
Seth: Crossing the bridge ahead is Freria.
In the distance is the city of Mulan, located on the border.
Let's go, Princess Ereco.
βββ
Seth: Princess Ereko, just in case, take this spike.
Even if I had anything in case, you were able to travel to Frelia on your own......
O'Neill: Runes's remnants are defeated, don't want to escape!
Seth: A chaser of the Goolad's army...... Princess Ereko, please stand back.
Erec: It doesn't matter, Seth.
I also learned some swordsmanship from my brother.
I'm fighting with you!
Seth: Princess Ereco!
Ereko: It doesn't matter, I dodged the attack...... Now it's our turn!
Seth: I'll leave the rest of the enemies to me, princess, and get to Frelia first.
βββ
Seth: In this way, there is only one enemy left.
O'Neill: What...... What the? The remnants of the defeated army dared to ...... Belch! In that case, let me take care of you with my own hands!
Seth: Hmm......
Ereco: Seth! Your wounds are still ......
O'Neill: Hmph, you're done!
Erec: Wait a minute! Your opponent is me!
Engage O'Neill
O'Neal: Let's start with you!
Defeat O'Neill
O'Neill: How, how......
Seth: Princess Ereco, you're not hurt, are you?
Erec: Ah...... It's nothing...... I'm fine, Seth.
Seth: But your face ......
Erec: It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter......
β¦β¦ That's the battle.
It's completely different from the feeling when I practice against my brother and Leon......
You can't survive without knocking the enemy down.
A miserable world in which people's hearts cannot move each other and survive entirely on strength......
Why did the Gurad Empire provoke such a battle......
Seth: Princess Erekor......
Erec: ...... Never mind.
I'm not going to lose.
Let's go, Seth.
I will never admit defeat until I return to my lost homeland and meet my father and brother again.
