Since the great Arthur Vesta established the Holy Light Empire, on the continent of Ars, five great powers have been established one after another-

Mora, Mora, Esanka, Elena, Via, and Fio. The name of the state is based on the name of the founder of the country, the first king. It is so named because these people are all peacemakers.

However, peace is not eternal. As the sun and the moon change, time turns, and new darkness gradually emerges from the light...

In the southwestern border area of the Land of Wind, there is a village called Aoki. With a population of 700 or more, Aoki Village is a very large village on the border of the Land of Winds. It is surrounded by forests, and the locals name the forest Aoki Forest.

Aoki Village, which has a large number of timber resources and the land is very fertile, is undoubtedly a good piece of fat for Wei Ya, the land country with scarce land resources. However, due to the restrictions of the "Peace Covenant", the Kingdom of Weiya has not started a large-scale war in the past hundreds of years.

The Covenant of Peace is an agreement made by nations when they were first established, and its main content is to maintain lasting peace among nations and not to wage war against any nation. If a country violates this agreement, then that country will be subject to comprehensive sanctions by other countries.

However, in the past hundred years, with the decline of the Holy Light Empire, countries such as Mora and Weiya Kingdom, the Land of Thunder, have risen one after another. The effectiveness of the Peace Treaty has all but disappeared.

Due to the rapid population growth of the powerful kingdom of Via, the powerful ministers proposed to the ambitious king to wage war against the neighboring country of the wind, and after discussion, the king agreed.

So, on this day in April 1200 of the Holy Light Calendar, the Kingdom of Via launched a siege invasion against Aoki, the border village of the Land of Wind-Fio, and the two neighboring villages.

Charles' home is located in the northernmost part of the village, and there is a clear river on the left side of the house, which contains many small fish, and since coming to Aoki Village, Charles has come to the small river almost every day to watch those little creatures. He likes it. On this day, however, the river changes color.

Near 5 o'clock in the morning, 10-year-old Charles was still wandering in his sleep, and he had no idea of the impending calamity.

In the dream, his father was carefully teaching him to practice swordsmanship. Little Charles wielded the wooden sword his father had sharpened for him, wielding it in style.

"Hey—yes—"

Charles's childish shouts were full of fighting spirit, and his ambition was to become a good swordsman.

Suddenly, a burst of unusual sounds plunged the sleeping Charles into darkness. Immediately afterward, his consciousness instantly returned to reality.

He opened his eyes, and for a few moments he recognized that he was in a dream, when he heard a woman's screams and the clear shouts of people in the distance.

He suddenly realized that the scream just now had a different feeling for him, but what it was, he didn't react for a while under the horror.

"What's going on?

Charles quickly got up from the bed and said. At this time, the door of the room was kicked open by an external force. Charles was shocked, and what happened next was the first time in his life that he had encountered it.

Inside, she was wearing the Knuckle Tiger-like weapon that boxers often wield, with three sharp, blood-dripping metal spikes like the sharp claws of a feline.

The woman had short earth-colored hair, which was different from Charles's short black hair, and Charles could tell that this person was Weiya's soldier.

Her brown skin made her look very different from that of the villagers, and the woman was dressed in tight-fitting combat uniforms and low-grade wooden armor. Her bulging boobs and graceful figure set off her beauty.

However, her face was terrifying, and when Charles raised his head to meet the woman's gaze, he saw an almost insane joy. The boy couldn't help but be shocked. Before he knew it, his heart was beating faster, and his thoughts were in a jumbled mess that almost came to a standstill.

I only heard the woman say with a hideous smile: "Hahaha, it turns out that there is a little ghost hidden, hey, little ghost, let me kill you!"

As she spoke, the woman walked over like Charles.

'What?' she said she was going to kill me? why?'

"Who are you...?"

Charles was terrified, his body couldn't move at all, although this was an unprecedented experience, but he knew very well at the moment that this woman was definitely not joking.

"I am a warrior of the kingdom of Via, and we are here to help your sinful souls be freed. People like you, who live in an environment of abundance, don't understand what it's like to suffer. Suffer death!"

The woman's words Charles listened to a rough idea, and he didn't understand them very well.

'Help me, Daddy, brother, come quickly!'

The boy could only pray desperately in his heart.

King Via, the original founder of the Land of Earth, was a brilliant female martial artist. Her influence has been far-reaching to this day, and throughout history, the country has produced many female warriors, some of whom are even much stronger and more advanced than men.

During this invasion, the land of the earth, Wei Ya, sent three teams with a total of 600 people, including 200 women. Their mission was to seize everything, kill the old and young in the village, and leave the surrendered men and women as slaves.

Known as the barbarians, the people of Weiya are the embodiment of strength, and they are naturally strong and tall. And their opponents this time are some ordinary villagers, although the villagers of Aoki Village practice some swordsmanship every day, but they are powerless to fight back when they really face such a strong army.

But in the entire village, there was only one exception. This man was Charles' father, Boken, a famous local swordsman and adventurer. He has the strength to join the Order, but he has no intention of joining the Order because of his passion for adventure.

One year ago, the Boken family moved from town to Aoki Village. The reason is that Boken heard the legend that 20 kilometers north of the village of Aoki, there is a place called "Storm Canyon", and it is said that a huge tornado vortex suddenly appeared in the canyon more than a year ago.

The adventurous Boken became intrigued by this strange phenomenon, and the family came to Aoki Village. He was ecstatic when he saw the spectacle inside Stormstorm Canyon with his own eyes, but the force of the wind made it impossible for anyone to approach easily.

What is the secret of the tornado? In order to find out this, Boken silently waited for the moment when the wind weakened, but to this day, the power of the tornado has not changed at all.

As a result, Boken waited for the invasion of the Weiya Kingdom. In this sudden crisis, Borken was the first to react.

At first, Boken organized the villagers to launch a counterattack against the invading enemy, but it was not very effective, and the villagers were quickly defeated, and many were killed.

When Boken realizes that he is powerless to save the village, he is frustrated. He had no choice but to lead a few men to try to fend off the enemy again, so that more people could flee the battlefield, but in fact they were powerless to resist the attack of those formidable enemies in the kingdom of Weiya.

Seeing that the tide was turning, Boken had no choice but to ask his eldest son, Terry, to flee with his younger son, Charles, and his wife.

Just as Charles was facing a crisis, his brother Terry arrived just in time and leaped up to the enemy.

The energetic female warrior did not notice the threat from the rear, and the shouts of killing were still everywhere. When she was less than 1 meter away from the Charr, Terry's sword stabbed her in the heart of her back and pierced it.

"Ahh

With a scream, the woman fell to the ground, her body convulsing and unable to get up. Because of the piercing of the heart, she quickly lost her breath.

"Charles, you're not hurt, are you?"

Terry asked urgently, and only then did Charles come to his senses, and when he saw his brother, Charles burst out in tears and threw himself into his arms.

"Brother, I thought...I'm going to die..."

"Don't be afraid, brother, I'm here to save you. ”

Terry comforted and said, "It's all right, brother." We had to flee quickly, and my father said that the village could not be saved, so I asked me to take you and my mother to the dense forest in the northwest. ”

"Well, brother, is she really Wei Ya?"

Charles said, pointing to the woman in the pool of blood.

"Yes, the border troops of the Kingdom of Weiya have invaded us. Alright, let's go!"

Terry said as he put on Charles's coat.

When they arrive at their mother's room, the two are stunned, and at some point, the mother has been killed by the enemy whom Terry has killed. The brothers' eyes immediately moistened.

Anger, remorse, sadness, hysteria...

All kinds of emotions filled Terry's heart, and at the moment he desperately wanted to kill all enemies with his sword, but he knew that he couldn't do it.

Recalling his father's request, Terry had no choice but to take his younger brother to carefully avoid the enemy's sight and flee into the depths of the forest.
