Chapter 8: It's important to learn to care for others

"In the 3rd year of the previous era, the queen of the empire declared war with the kingdom of Planne, and the trumpet sounded, announcing the beginning of a new world.

The queen herself led her legions through plains and towns, and no one could resist them.

The flag of the Empire flies, obscuring the sky of Plain. The sun no longer favors the people of the plains, and fate chooses to be on the right side.

By the end of the same year, the Imperial legions had come to the royal city of Planne.

Outside King Plane.

In the legion camp of the Kingdom of Reinhardt.

The Bird Dragon Knight's Zocoon Bird was tied to a stake by the campfire, chewing grass in its mouth and rubbing its sharp nails on the ground from time to time.

The knights sat around the campfire, laughing and eating dinner.

The rock rhinoceros carrying supplies flicked its tail to drive away the flying insects around it, and it still contained several huge boxes that had not been dismantled.

The transport soldier, who had been tired all day, sat in the supply box next to him, not wanting to move, with a piece of bread in his mouth.

The night crow used for scouting perched on the branches of the trees, erecting the feathers on its wings with its beak.

And the archers on the watchtower finally had free time, sitting in the corner, holding their bows and arrows and resting.

Dinner time in the evening.

The atmosphere in the barracks was rare to relax, and both people and animals were resting separately.

In the space of three months, only three months after the queen declared the start of war, the legions of the Reinhardt Kingdom had completely defeated the army of the Kingdom of Plan, all the way from the border to the royal city.

I still remember that when the queen first proposed to go to war, many ministers dissuaded her.

Now, however, the results are beyond anyone's imagination.

Neither the main battle faction nor the conservatives in the kingdom expected that their Lionheart Queen, in addition to her strong political methods, was also far beyond ordinary people in terms of sergeant talent.

Now, everyone is just predicting how long Plain's royal city will be able to hold out.

In the center of the legion camp was a separate camp, built on a hill.

On the hill, Hillman stood in a long skirt and a cape, under the sky near evening.

She wore the golden-red sword of kingship at her waist and the crown on her head, looking out over the plains and the one in the plains, the royal city of Planne.

She was immersed in it, as if she were looking at the most beautiful view. Of course, the capture of Prane is only her first step, and what she wants to do is to unify the whole continent.

The wind swept up the cloak behind her, and the evening sky hung high above the setting sun and the rising moon. The brilliance of the two dyes the sky in a complex color, making it impossible to distinguish the line between day and night.

As Hillman was distracted, a man came up from the bottom of the hill, a black knight who looked like a shadow.

"Your Majesty. When he first walked to Hillman, he whispered.

"It's very windy here, please take care. ”

Hatsu's words made Hillman turn her head, and she looked Hatsu up and down with a strange look.

This made Chu a little puzzled and asked.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

"Oh. Hillman smiled relievedly and hooked the corners of his mouth: "I just didn't expect that someone like you would actually say something that cares about others." ”

Chu's body stood stiffly in place, not knowing what to say.

"Huh. Looking at Chu Moran's appearance, Hillman covered his mouth lightly and laughed.

After laughing, she turned her head and looked at the royal city in the distance, her eyes glinting.

"Tomorrow, we'll officially lay siege to Plain's royal city, and there may be a time when you'll need to do it. ”

In the battle of the royal city, Planne's Sage will definitely take action, although he doesn't want to admit it, but that Sage is an extremely tricky existence.

Under the helmet, Chu's eyes froze, his hand clenched the knight's sword at his waist, and replied in a deep voice.

"Yes. ”

In the three months since Hillman sent out the army, he had never entered the battlefield at the beginning, and he had only stayed by Hillman's side.

Although Hillman said that he wanted to keep her as a hole card, it still made him feel a little useless at first.

As an apostle, she cannot be used by the summoned, but just blindly enjoys comfort, which is an extremely shameful thing for her.

Tomorrow's war, she will prove her abilities to Hillman.

······

There are no clouds in the sky today, only a dazzling sun that stays high in the sky, and the winter sun is sometimes more dazzling than the midsummer one.

"Woo————"

The dull sound of a horn blew on one side of the sky, accompanied by a cloud of smoke and dust.

On the walls of the royal city of Planne, soldiers armed with spears and bows stood by, watching the smoke and dust coming from afar, their hands clenching their blades, and this would probably be the last battle they would have to fight to defend their homeland.

The smoke was getting closer, mixed with a deafening sound.

Until the wheels of the chariot were crushed by the dust, and the bird dragon walked out of the dust with knights in armor on their backs, shields and swords lined up, and the banners painted with roaring lions rolled in the sun.

The mighty legions of the Reinhardt kingdom appeared in the eyes of the people of Plane.

Hillman sat in the king's carriage in the center of the marching legion, and the golden-red carriage pulled by snow-white horses was very conspicuous, which was a very dangerous behavior in the battlefield, but Hillman did not care.

This is her arrogance, but also her confidence in her own legion, no one can break through the legion and come to her.

What's more, Chu also sat in the carriage and sat beside her.

Outside the carriage driven by the king, Roland, the leader of the Imperial Swordsman Regiment, rode on the back of a war horse, crossed his eyes, and through the small window of the carriage, he saw the knight in black armor sitting in the carriage, frowning.

The two of them are both knights of the kingdom, but she has never seen this knight make a move in the past three months, and so far, no one knows the true strength of this knight at all.

Since you're by the queen's side to protect the queen's safety, I hope it's not a useless guy.

Roland thought, looking back at the Legion in front of her, putting aside all other thoughts, she now had to concentrate on facing this war.

Reinhardt's legions marched mightily toward the royal city of Plain.

At this time, on the royal city of Planne, an old man stood at the top of the city wall.

His hair was pale, and his face was even more old, but he stood straight, draped in a silver-gray mage robe, and held a dark brown staff in his hand.

The wind on the city walls was fierce, blowing the old man's shirt and beard, and the old man squinted deeply into the army of the Reinhardt Kingdom.

Queen Lionheart, you will pay a terrible price for what you have done.
