Shower Chapter 9: Supporting the Logging Fortress (1)

A Brief History of the Empire (I) – Lucius Goode. :

The Holy Falcon Empire is a nation guarded by knights and lords. They worship Ella, the embodiment of white mana. Their goal is to live in a way of truth and purity that Ella taught, to change the world with Ella's will, and to spread the glory of Ella throughout Elsa.

Flag colors: blue, white, and gold.

Capital: Falkenridge.

Guardian Sword Story:

At the end of the Ancient Age, the Blazing Acolytes suffered heavy losses from centuries of heroic battles with demons and facelessers. To ensure that Ella had followers to continue, the Blazing Celestial Acolytes decided to convert the nascent human kingdom from the faith of Ilras, the embodiment of blue mana.

The first major goal of the Blazing Celestial Acolytes was to persuade the young Emperor Ryan Falken. They forged seven enchanted swords, each named after a virtue. The most powerful of these was given to Ryan, while the other six were given to the kingdom's most powerful followers, the Dukes.

Isfante, Duke of Running Wolf, out of caution about the Blazing Divine Servant and his religious interference, did not use the sword that had been given to him, and shelved it away to be touched. Instead, he forged another sword, the Steel Tail Moustache, to protect his Emperor Ryan.

However, Isfan did not get a chance to wield the sword in battle, and was murdered shortly after it was forged.

Due to their heirs' loyalty to the authority of the Empire, they preferred to use the angel-forged enchanted sword, while the Iron Tail Mostache was given to the second son of the Running Wolf family.

While the steel tail moustache has served the empire for centuries, the sword is still seen as a symbol of rebellion.

History of the Founding of the Holy Falcon Empire:

The Holy Falcon Empire was originally made up of a series of small tribes that were constantly fighting. Ronan, the Falcon Supreme, unites small tribes through outstanding leadership, flawless diplomacy, and a series of political marriages. While the entire country was under his control, Ronan quickly established the state and became the hereditary emperor.

During the same period, the Blazing Acolytes were in a critical situation: their numbers were in danger due to years of fighting demons and faceless people and their heavy losses.

They face the end of their race, and the end of Ella's sect.

As a result, they set out to find a place to convert, and they set their sights on the young Falcon Empire, which was now plagued by a war of fire.

The Blazing Acolytes begin to make contact with young Ryan, the great-grandson of Ronan Falken, and help him transform the divided empire into a powerful nation loyal to Ella. In the first Scarlet Moon, the demons return to Elsa. The mages created orcs to keep the demons at bay - the sorcerers were adamantly opposed to the mage's move, but to no avail.

By the end of the demonic invasion, demons were no longer a problem, but the orcs, who had long been slaves, began to rebel against the mage's Council of the Seven Rings. The orcs declared themselves to be free from all mana incarnation beliefs and allegiance to any avatar - they believed that it was heaven and earth that gave birth to life, and therefore believed in the Father of the Celestial Spirit and the Mother of the Earth Spirit. Since this blasphemous act was not accepted by the Blazing Celestial Acolyte, the Blazing Acolyte instructed the Empire to hunt down the orcs. The remaining orc survivors fled overseas, and the Empire organized a powerful fleet to prepare for a crusade, but a storm destroyed the entire fleet. The Emperor thought it was a directive from Ilrath, the blue mana incarnation, and the expedition ended.

"Mr. Michael, there's a forest trail ahead, and you'll get to the logging fortress after crossing the trail." Joseph Claude said to Michael as he looked at the trail that was gradually expanding in front of him.

Michael stopped the blue wind, saluted slightly, and said to Joseph and Jon, "Two gentlemen, we are about to cross the forest path ahead, and I propose to put the soldiers on alert to prevent the invasion of wild beasts and monsters. It snowed in the forest, and the sound was even more imperceptible, and predators would not let go of such an opportunity. ”

Jon replied, "Sir is right, and that's what we both mean, we can't let our boys die in the mouths of these beasts. ”

Michael nodded, and then Joseph ordered: "The whole army is in combat mode!" Lift my spirits, boys, and keep your eyes wide open, for if anyone gets hurt in this damn place, I'm going to laugh at him and kick him in the ass!" Advance! ”

The three of them led the army, like a torrent, slowly flowing into the forest. After walking for about three hours, Michael suddenly ordered the army to stop and increase the vigilance.

"Two gentlemen, in an hour or so we will be out of the trail, but we must be more careful. Blue Wind was a little restless, I suspect some beasts have been with us for a long time, and there is some rotten damp smell in the air - it's a cat lizard. ”

Jon agreed, "Yes, Mr. Michael, I also sensed something was wrongβ€”there was no sound of critters, and I smelled a slight smell of blood. I'm worried ... ”

Before he could finish speaking, an attendant fell down with a 'bang', and then without even a shout, he was bitten through the neck, and blood gushed out along the collar, and he couldn't survive.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

Swarms of cats and lizards swooped out from the cover of the trees and attacked the team.

Michael shouted, "Don't mess around! Team up in teams of four to take on a cat lizard! Prioritize killing individuals whose size has skyrocketed! Be especially careful to kill these beasts, as they will unleash the magic of decay and die with you when they are dying! ”

As he spoke, three cat lizards pounced on Michael. Michael unhurriedly pulled out his wand and poked it violently, and a white pillar of light instantly pierced through the chests of the two cat lizards that attacked. The two cat lizards were killed instantly, and without a single cry, they fell to the ground. The piercing wound smelled burnt, and not a drop of blood came out. Michael gracefully flicked the reins of Blue Wind, and Blue Wind snorted. The only remaining cat lizard pounced, and Blue Wind pulled the beast down with a single tail, and Jon threw away the knight's spear and drew his sword to cut off the beast's tail. The cat lizard let out a painful scream, and was immediately stabbed to death by several servants who surrounded him.

Seeing that the place was too small to be used, Joseph also gave up the knight's spear, took a two-handed broadsword from his squire, and went into battle. I saw that his swordsmanship was wide open, and several cat lizards were cut off before they could get close to him.

Seeing this, the group of cats and lizards abandoned those servants and attendants, and besieged the three of them with all their might. "Joseph! Watch your back! Jon shouted when he saw that three lizards were trying to attack Joseph.

Joseph received a reminder from his companion, and with a force on his waist, he turned around with a shout, turned into a horizontal slash, and stunned the three beasts at once. Then he changed the shot to flirtatious, and threw the three fainting ghosts out of the air. 'Knock, knock, knock' three times, and the three guys flew down into the woods, out of sight.

With the efforts of the three and the cooperation of the soldiers who had gradually calmed down, the lizards suffered heavy casualties, and then gradually retreated. A few stunned young people who were killing wanted to chase and kill, but were stopped by Michael: "Idiot, don't chase, don't die!" ”

Two people stopped, but the others ignored it and chased into the woods, and with a scream, there was no more sound...
