In the quiet corridor, the sound of hurried footsteps was particularly clear. As a door opened, Frank led Walter to a room on the top floor of the castle.

This was the first time in Walter's life that Watt had entered this room, and Frank was usually the only one who could enter it. As a result, this room has become the most mysterious place in the whole castle.

There weren't many items in the room, except for a shield hanging on the west wall. The silver shield is inlaid with six brilliant red gemstones. On the shelf under this shield lay a heavy sword.

Frank walked over to the shelf where the heavy sword was kept, and removed the sword from the shelf with both hands. Turning to look at Walter, he said loudly, "Walter, do you know the name of this sword?"

"Father, is this the Flame Sword?" Whorter guessed.

I saw Frank put the sword on the ground vertically, and pulled the sword from the scabbard with both hands, and the whole sword body showed a bright metallic luster.

Frank said, "You're right, this is the Flame Sword. A sword that has been passed down from generation to generation in our Rhett family. More than 100 years ago, my great-grandfather, Savage Red, used it to kill the last red dragon on the continent, Midi Gault. He is also known as the Last Dragon Slayer. ”

With that, Frank placed his left hand on the sword and gently swiped it down. Bright red blood flowed from between his fingers.

The blood began to flow down the blade, and Walter suddenly noticed that the metallic glow of the sword had disappeared, and a red glow had appeared. Suddenly, these red rays turned into fire, and a wave of heat rushed over the face.

"Come here, Walter. Frank picked up the flaming sword and said to Walter, "Reach out your hand, the people of the Red family have the hottest blood in the world." ”

Without hesitation, Walter stretched out his hand to the Flame Sword, and the flames emitted by the sword made Walter still feel a little tingling. But Walter insisted on putting his hand on the Flame Sword. Frank held down Walter's hand and cut a wound along the blade of the sword, and Walter's blood flowed onto the sword.

The flames emitted by the entire sword became more intense, and Walter lost the stinging sensation he felt just now. Seeing the growing flames on the sword, Frank said to Walter, "Here's how to wake it up." Only Red's blood can make the Flame Sword exert such power. Come, and now I will hand him over to you. ”

Walter took the flaming sword from Frank's hand, and he gradually felt the tremendous power emanating from the blade. At the same time, Walter's eyes gradually became red with the flames.

Frank looked at Walter, who was holding the flaming sword, and kicked Walter in the calf. Walter didn't stand still and fell to one knee in front of Frank, his flaming sword stuck into the ground.

Walter opened his red eyes and looked up to see Frank looking at him solemnly.

Under the shield, Frank pressed Walter's shoulder and said, "As the seventh generation of the heir of the Raid family, I officially entrust this sword to you and appoint you as the first heir of the family. You, Walter Ryder, are now tasked with defending Mordara. ”

Hearing these words, Walter said firmly, "I, Walter Rhett, will remember all the instructions of today and swear to fight for Rhett's honor." Defend Mordara to the death. ”

"All right, son. This sword is yours from today onwards. I hope you use him well, don't let this sword be disgraced, and don't make me feel ashamed. Frank said, taking his hand off Walter's shoulder.

Walter stood up and inserted the flaming sword back into its scabbard, and the fire from the sword vanished. His gaze softened.

Frank said to Walter: "As the vanguard army, it is possible to encounter more emergencies, and our main purpose is to eliminate the red dragon, but it is also very possible to encounter Ovan. I'll hand over the three Owan,000 people in prison to you. Maybe they'll be of any use, they can't ask anything in prison. ”

"Don't worry, father, I'll be careful. Walter replied.

After Frank had told him a few more things, Walter walked out of the room with the Flaming Sword. As Walter walked out of the room, he felt a figure flash in front of him.

Seeing Walter standing in front of the door and looking back and forth, Frank closed the door and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Oh, no. Maybe I'm looking at it wrong. The soldiers should have been assembled, and I will go first, father. With that, Walter went straight back to the camp to gather his troops.

The soldiers in the camp were ready to go, and suddenly they received an order to summon them, and everyone knew in their hearts that something important must have happened in Sagron. After Walter had counted the goods, he led the soldiers out of the city gate again.

Seeing Walter leading his army out of the city gates, Daniel, who was waiting outside the city, also mounted his own warhorse. He rode up to Walter and said in a loud voice, "Yes, my nephew." The team you're leading has a bit of a look. This battle is dangerous, are your soldiers ready? ”

Just as Daniel finished speaking, several soldiers fell to the ground without holding their weapons. Just as they were scrambling to pick up their weapons, there was an uproar in the ranks.

"Brave warriors, we have overcome countless enemies and difficulties. If you want to back down, leave now, but don't regret it when the Red Dragon ravages the city. Frank came out of the city and said in a loud voice.

The words calmed Walter's team. Frank walked up to Walter and Daniel and said, "Be careful with this operation. I will follow you with my troops as soon as possible. Daniel, Walter will leave it to you. ”

Daniel ignored and returned to his team, while Walter said yes and started the round. In such a discordant atmosphere, the leading team set off.

Walter followed his uncle Daniel's army all the way north along the map. Along the way, they met a large number of peasants who had fled from the north. From these people's mouths, Walter learned something about the Red Dragon.

It is an adult red-skinned dragon that raids villages everywhere in the northern region of Sagron. Most of the cattle and sheep in the village have become its food, and now there is no one to live anywhere, only a bleak land.

Seeing Walter pacify the refugees along the way and direct them to take refuge in the camp, Daniel's face was full of disdain. But his eyes were fixed on the cloth-wrapped heavy sword on Walter's back. Although Daniel still can't accept that it is the Flame Sword in his own understanding. But the appearance of the entire sword body still made him suspicious.

"Count, there is a deserted village ahead of us. Is it there to rest?" said a knight as he approached Daniel's side. The man's name was Ben Augustine, and he was Daniel's most capable knight.

Daniel looked around and agreed with Augustine's suggestion. The soldiers were ordered to begin camping and resting in abandoned villages. Walter's team was stationed separately from Daniel, but the camps were not too far apart.

In fact, Walter has had a sense of fear of this uncle's words and deeds since he was a child. As early as when Walter was young, he once lived in Red Cliff City. This uncle once cut off a servant's arm for a trivial matter, and the sound of the severed servant rolling on the ground in pain* made Walter have nightmares for a long time. Although a long time has passed, the shadow of that memory still exists in the depths of the brain.

Beneath the crumbling walls, Walter and his soldiers sat around the fire and rested. His mind calculated the itinerary, and according to the calculation, they would be at the center of the incident in two days.

"Ahh

At first, Walter thought he had heard it wrong, but then it got louder and louder. Unaware of what was happening, Walter led a few soldiers towards Daniel's camp.

Daniel's camp was covered with tents, and from a distance the soldiers were constantly moving. However, there were no sentinels around the camp, so Walter and the others entered the camp without any hindrance.

Suddenly, a disheveled woman ran out of one of the tents in the camp, and there were still blood stains on the woman's body. Then several soldiers emerged from the tent, chasing after the woman in front of them with open chests. The woman had not gone far before she was grabbed by the hair and dragged back to the tent.

Seeing such a scene, the anger in Walter's heart was instantly ignited, and he clenched his fists to ask for an explanation. But the soldiers who came with him stopped him. Half-shoved and half-dragged him out of Daniel's camp.

Back at his camp, a puffed Watt sat on a large rock, his mind still pondering the matter. And what happened in Daniel's camp has already spread among the soldiers. The soldiers were talking and laughing, and some poked their heads out into the camp.

Noticing the soldiers' impetuousness, Walter made an excuse to urinate and went to Daniel's camp again. This time, as before, no one stepped forward to stop him.

When he walked into Daniel's tent, Daniel was wiping his weapon in the candlelight, a stick that wasn't very long. Seeing that it was Walter who had broken into his tent, Daniel lowered his head and continued to wipe the stick in his hand.

"Uncle, do you know what your soldiers are doing?" Vought asked Daniel in a loud voice.

"What does what they do to me, do I have to know?" Daniel asked rhetorically.

Walter's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that his uncle would answer like this. So he strode up to Daniel's side and said, "They are your men, how can they fight like this?"

"You're still a virgin, or are you?" asked Daniel, smiling.

This sentence made Walter a little speechless, he did not expect his uncle to have such an attitude.

Seeing the expression on Walter's face, Daniel smiled and said, "It seems that my eldest nephew still doesn't understand anything, you think your decency is right? War is not a game of civilization in the first place. ”

"I just know that I'm here to protect the weak, not to bully the weak. I hope Uncle you can restrain them, after all, this is Sagron. With that, Walter turned and left.

Daniel smiled slightly, shook his head, and continued to wipe the stick in his hand. After a while, another man in armor entered the tent. This man was none other than Daniel's knight, Augustine.

With a scroll in his hand, Augustine walked up to Daniel and said, "Count, I have already made the map. You see, these are all places that we can use. ”

After Augustine opened the map, Daniel walked to the front of the map and looked at it. There are several markers on this map. Daniel pointed to one of the places and asked, "Where is this place?"

"The place is called Vitu. There shouldn't be any one anywhere now. It should be easy for you to do it. Augustine replied.

"Yes, okay. By the way, I think Walter is an old stubborn boy like my brother, and the soldiers want to move away from him. Daniel said.

"Yes, I'll just say it. Augustine came out of the tent as well. Only Daniel was left in the entire tent, pacing back and forth in front of the map.

Early the next morning, Walter led his army to pack their bags and begin to prepare for the march, while Daniel's troops did not move at all. After waiting for a while, the anxious Walter sent several groups of soldiers to urge. But all the soldiers brought back was news that Daniel ignored.

At this time, Walter vaguely understood why his father did not support him and his uncle in the first place. And the respect he had just built up for this uncle in his heart also disappeared at this moment.

"Hmph, I'll go if you don't want to go. I'm going to kill the red dragon for you to see. But my father told us to do it together. Walter thought to himself.

Just as Walter was hesitating whether to move forward, another group of refugees fled from the north. From their mouths, Walter received news that Ovan was haunting the forests of the west. The news made Walter determined, and the whole team quickly marched towards the deep forest.

On the other side, shortly after Walter and his men left, Daniel's team also went into action. And the route they took was completely different from what Walter took.
