Chapter 153: The Chaotic War in the Land of Chaos (1) The Beginning of the Troubled Times
When Oude was called to the altar by the village priest, he was trembling all over, and Oude didn't know what the priest had come up with again.
"Ode, I remember you were the oldest man in the village, didn't you? and went out to be a soldier for a long time," the priest looked at the shivering old man, and a feeling of jealousy welled up in his heart, alas, he did not know if he could live to his age and think so clearly.
Oude nodded tremblingly, and responded to the 85-year-old, looking submissive.
The priest turned to a woman in black behind him and said, "Honorable Lord, I have called you the oldest man in the village. β
At this time, Oude noticed that there was a woman in black standing behind the priest, but the woman in black was motionless like a wood, and Oude, who was too scared before, did not notice this woman for the time being.
The woman was wearing a shabby cloak that covered the top part of her face, but Oude could still tell from her chest and standing posture that she was a woman.
Thinking of this, Oude also stepped forward and sneered at this woman, and the magnitude of the masquerading was greater than that of the priest.
"Sit down. β
The voice of the woman in black made Oude even more sure that she was a woman, but why was the language spoken by this woman so strange?
Ode tried to postpone it, but at the second urging of the woman in black, Ode sat down tremblingly. In front of the superiors, to show enough rationality and respect, this is the criterion that Oude can live so long.
"I'd like to hear about your past, since the founding of the patriarchal priesthood, eh...... Or if you start talking about it after you were born, you can talk about it slowly. β
Hearing this, Ou Delen paused, this is indeed an unheard of request: "Respected superiors, if you want to know about history, you can go to the library to check it, why do you need to ask me this old man." β
Hearing Ou De say this, the priest on the side also thought deeply: "Yes, yes, this is just a broken old man, how can he compare the past recorded by a noble nobleman in elegant words?"
The woman in black, Mei Yi propped her hand on her cheekbones: "Elegant words are floating clouds in the sky, and there is no way to see the subtle soil. β
The priest was already confused, he didn't understand Mei Yi's weird Ivan Kenudo language in the first place, and Mei Yi spoke so quickly, the priest couldn't understand what Mei Yi was saying.
But Oude understood, his eyes moistened a little, and he felt like he had returned to the past. The language spoken by Mei Yi was the old Ivan Knudo language, and it was normal for priests in their forties to have difficulty understanding it.
"But why should the fluttering clouds care about the soil?" At this moment, Oude is no longer the old man who is only submissive, with a bit of iron and blood in his eyes, it is not difficult to see what he did in the past, a veteran who has experienced half a life of war.
"Because I'm not a floating cloud, is that enough?"
[Okay, noble priest, and the superior who I don't know the identity of, since you are suddenly interested, then I, old man Oude, will tell you about my past.
From this coherent conversation of mine, both of you ould - oh, I suppose the Priests already knew, right? I think the Lord, you should know from this coherent conversation that I am not the dirt of the earth, at least not at all, for the dirt of the earth could not have had such a level of rhetoric.
I have said all this, so that you may know that I was once a floating cloud in the sky, and that I had received a good education before the flames of war were fully burned, so that I could speak so coherently.
In the year 450 of the Great Calendar, a group of noble nobles gathered in Novgo and established the current kingdom, which has been almost a thousand years ago.
When our kingdom was first founded, the rulers of that time were wise, kind, united and courageous, commanding the masses of dirt who could not be counted from one to ten, and launched an attack on the more barbarian tribes to expand our territory.
The reason why clouds are clouds is because they are white and unclean, and when clouds are as muddy as the earth, they can no longer be as white as they used to be.
The age of heroes has passed, and the children and grandchildren of heroes may not have the courage of heroes, and when they fall, the soldiers will rise.
Long before that, rebellions in the north, rebellions in the west, and invasions by the Hilvans had already occurred one after another, and the beginning of the first turmoil in 1138 was known as the Yamalan Coup.
The careerist overthrew the original king through a coup d'Γ©tat, which led to a crusade, and the whole of Evan Knudo became a mess for thirty years.
Fortunately, the troubled times lasted only one generation, and in 1158, the great saint Ancestor Meyi took with her lovely, winter-like
"Boasting about the Saint Ancestor, there is no need to go into such detail, after all, everyone knows her contributions, doesn't they?" The woman in black shook her shoulders.
[I just think that the separatist forces that you have broken into one place make it impossible for people to negotiate]
[Okay, don't say much.]
In short, the first saint Meyi and her disciples arrived in present-day Mosorona in 1158, two years before I was born.
In the face of the fragmented and miserable people of Ivan Knudo, the first father of the saints resolutely persuaded all the lords in the name of God to carry out the cease-war order, from 1158 to 1163.
Thanks to the efforts of the saint's ancestor, May, the lords everywhere, whether good or greedy, were inspired by the saint's heart to renounce war. γ
The woman in black on the opposite side coughed [There is a god standing behind me, who doesn't dare to give me face at this time?]
[I was born in 1160 into a small noble family in Nogodek, a region very far from here, the northernmost territory of all of Evenknudo.
Thanks to the efforts of the first saints, the terrible war ceased when I was 3 years old, and I had a peaceful childhood, youth and prime of life.
In the peace created by the saints, I spent more than 30 years peacefully, accepting the family's arranged studies, accepting the family's arranged wife, having my own children, becoming an inconspicuous official in Nogodek, and becoming a part of the family's power in Nogodek, it was a time when there was nothing to say but peace and happiness.
When I was young, I used to resent my family, they planned my life so that I could not break free, but now I am 85 years old, and when I compare the days of the past 80 years, I find that the first 30 years of my life are the most comfortable, the saint once said, it is better to be a dog in a prosperous world than a troubled world, I only understood the preciousness of this sentence ten years ago, and it can be seen from here that the saint is worthy of a man of great wisdom.
The First War Era ended when I was 3 years old thanks to the efforts of the saints, so I don't know much about Evin Knudo in the First War Era.
To tell the truth, even when I was an official in Nogodek, I was just an inconspicuous bureaucrat, and you are asking the wrong person, respected superiors.
I don't know exactly when the Second War began, but I remember that after the birth of my fourth son, the situation began to deteriorate, and it seemed that there were meetings every day.
Hiss...... I once followed Shangguan to a meeting in Mosolona, which is a city founded by Saint Mey, and before Saint Meyi came, Mosolona was just a small village of only about eighty people, and now it has become "an eternal neutral place witnessed by the gods", and all forces are forbidden to wage war here, haha.
Dear Lord, you know, before Saint Mei left, some of her disciples were willing to stay and guide us in the establishment of the priesthood, and no one dared to start a war while the disciples of Saint were still alive.
And the wise disciples of the saints, who had long been aware of the impending careerists, often summoned lords from all over the world to Mosorona in those years to contact the feelings, wanting to prevent the war.
Unfortunately, those evil careerists just won't listen.
"Who is the careerist? I've read some information, if it's the careerist who started the war, then the scope of your careerist is a bit broad," the woman in black interrupted Oude for the second time.
Hearing the question of the woman in black, Oude leaned down tremblingly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, if I offended your elders,"
"Go on, don't keep your head down," the woman in black held her forehead and shook her fingers.
I don't know exactly when it happened, but long before the Second War, the atmosphere was getting more and more wrong, but unfortunately I was just a petty official who was a soft-spoken person, and I couldn't control anything at all.
But one thing I remember very well was that long before the Second War, the Nogodeks were at war with other forces. γ
"Did the Principality of Hubei go out to fight?" the priest asked in surprise, as he didn't know about this history.
Yet Ode shook his head.
[No, no, Lord Priest, the Nogodek family is the Nogodek family, and the Principality of Hubei is not exactly the same as him, in fact, the Nogodek family when I was young, in addition to the Nogodek, also ruled the Moss area in the south.
When I was 36 years old, in 1196, Ivan Knudo entered the age of war for the second time because of the well-known Battle of the Wall, and since then, dark days have come, and I finally understand what my parents experienced when they were younger.
Let's be honest, it was okay at first, I knew that I was fighting for the good of the Nogodecks, and my family was a vassal of the Nogodeks, so I had to serve them.
At the beginning, the Nogodec family used the name of the Qing monarch to go south in an attempt to annex Saint-Aria, and I, as a junior officer, followed the command to follow the legion to fight there.
Before we reached Saint-Alyon, I fought for half a day, and I felt that I had done a good job, at least I had won several battles in which I had participated, but unfortunately in the end the higher authorities told us to retreat.
When I retreated, I was ambushed by the other side - honorable superiors, forgive me for forgetting who ambushed me, this force is no longer there, I am an old man in my eighties, and I have not looked through the materials now, it is difficult to remember what that force is called.
After the forces captured us, they incorporated our army into their unit and set up a separate barracks, and I became the commander of the second order.
As for our barracks, because the leaders are nobles, it is not easy to kill, but they are not worried about using us against Nogodek, so they move us to the west to deal with the Kaletz and the Sabeiba. γ
