Volume 2 Ace Empire 024 Four Knights: The True Face of Acenan
At the end of the northern continent is a gloomy northern ocean.
No one knows where this ocean leads. Legend has it that at its end lived a terrifying thing - Amoro.
Emoros is not a human being, nor is he a demon, he is the creator of all evil thoughts in the world.
The dark side of our hearts, from the ends of the ocean, is slowly seeping into all corners of the world.
Until one day, when Emoro felt that the time was right, it came ashore.
The sky is covered with black clouds, starting from the northern ocean and continuing southward. It obscures the sky and the sun, and envelops the world in darkness.
The leaders of the nations united like never before to resist the Emoros, but when the sky began to rain blood, it was all in vain.
All life is eaten away by the rain of blood, and this dark red liquid, when it touches a living thing, takes away their souls, leaving behind a sucked body.
Eventually, the resistance succumbed, and the world was soon taken over by Emoros.
And underground, the knights of the Ace Empire did not give up, and they were ready to take home the garden at any time.
Leading them at the time was Ace's legendary knight, Knight "Daybreaker" Cord. With the help of a magician, he signed the Light Pact, obtained the Light-Chaser Sword, and launched a counterattack when the blood rain stopped.
The Holy Sword broke through the dark clouds in the sky and re-opened the light to the continent. The knights of Ace blow the horn of counterattack and unite the warriors of the world to disperse the darkness.
Knight divided the knights of the Ace Empire into two parts, one half in silver armor to represent the moon, and the other half in gold armor to represent the sun. They were warriors who fought for the light, fearless in the face of the Dark Legion of Emoro.
The war was so tragic that Ace's knights were almost wiped out. Fortunately, with the full support of countries around the world, Knight's holy sword was able to completely cut through the night overhead.
Without the sky, Emoro did not have the ability to rain blood again, and it retreated one after another, and finally retreated back to the northern ocean.
Knight led a cavalry regiment of less than 100 men to chase all the way to the end of the northern ocean, and they watched the dark clouds retreat into the depths of the ocean, and the world finally returned to light.
In order to prevent the comeback of Emoro, Knight stuck the Lightchaser on the shore of the Northern Ocean and built an ice city there. Because of the darkness in the north, Knight left behind the Silver Knight, who symbolized the moon, while the Gold Knight, returned to the southern part of the Ace Empire.
After Knight's death, his soul has been stationed in the Ice City, and for more than a hundred years, Emoros has never dared to set foot on the continent again...
"Is this legend true?" Kyle was fascinated by the words, unable to imagine that this would have happened more than a hundred years ago.
"It's just a legend, kid. Mr. Larry replied as he peeled the potato, "But it's true that Knight saved Ace." Perhaps, the catastrophe that occurred at that time became 'Emoro' through word of mouth..."
"General Knight is truly a hero!" Kyle couldn't help but respect.
"But then it's true," Mr. Larry suddenly became serious.
"Later?"
Later, Ace's gold and silver cavalry each guarded one place, and the entire Ace Empire was divided into two. The two parties were at peace, but disaster came..."
"Was it the theft of Knight's soul?" Kyle asked impatiently.
Instead of answering Kyle's question, Mr. Larry asks him a question:
"Do you know the Hunters?"
Kyle's heart suddenly tightened, the hunter clan should be the race he is most familiar with besides Ace, after all...
"Well, General Lane and I talked about the race. Kyle nodded.
"The Hunters love to tame all the powerful souls in the world, and they don't care about power," Mr. Larry continued, "Twenty years ago, there was a hunter named 'Zorn' who announced to the world that he was going to hunt the souls of Emoro. Although Emoro is just a legend, his words still terrify the world. Countries began to take steps to stop his movements, and since then, no one has seen him. After five years, Ace Beiguo suddenly announced that the spirit of Knight in the Ice City had been stolen, and the Light Chaser had also been lost, and they first pointed the finger at the southern country, believing that this matter was done by the golden knights, and immediately waved their troops south, however, the four knights of the golden armor denied the northern country's claim, and they decided to fight..."
Mr. Larry pauses and sets the peeled potatoes aside.
"The Four Knights of Gold?" Kyle said, "I've never heard of it. ”
"It seems that their ability to block news is quite strong," Mr. Larry said with a smile, "Even the Ace people don't know what happened in their own land, hahaha..."
"Teacher, what happened fifteen years ago?" Kyle asked anxiously.
"Ryan Starr, Whis Starr, Andil Hart and I, Larry Ewen," Mr. Larry snapped his fingers and took stock, "At that time, the four of us were the leaders of the Southern Golden Armored Cavalry Regiment, and in the face of the attack from the north, we led the cavalry to fight back. The strength of the two teams is equal, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser. At this moment, the hunter who had disappeared for five years, Zorn, suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and I will never forget the scene when he appeared..."
With a hint of fear in Mr. Larry's tone, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
At that time, a huge tornado suddenly blew between the two armies, sucking the surrounding warriors into it. We were scared, after all, it was the first time we had seen it in our lives. This dark red tornado is neither like magic nor sorcery. ”
"It's Zorn! It's the hunter!" Kyle heard the tornado and knew the answer immediately, because he had seen it before.
"That's right, it's Zorn. Our two armies immediately stopped, the tornado in the middle gradually weakened, and a man in a black cloak appeared in front of us. Although this man wears a hood, we are all sure that he is Zorn. And he seems to have gained some powerful soul, and the power he shows is no longer comparable to that of ordinary hunters. With a wave of his hand, the leader of the Northern Legion at the time, Wall Cord, was sucked into his hand and his body was immediately separated. ”
"How is that possible..."Kyle's eyes widened, the story did make him unbelievable.
"None of us dared to look into our eyes, but, even more surprisingly, is yet to come..."
Mr. Larry pinched the potato in his hand, and he could see that recalling this story made him nervous.
"Zorn took Wal-Cod's head and walked over to Andil Hart, and said something I will never forget...", Mr. Larry thrust his knife into the potato, his hand shaking uncontrollably, "and he said to Andiel, 'Master, this is our agreement. His voice was terrifying, like an old woman pinching her throat. I was next to Andiel, inexplicably unable to move. I tried to see Zorn's face, but it was dark in his hat, and I even began to wonder if he had a head..."
"Is this Zorn really a hunter..."Kyle thought of Locke's mother, Leah, and felt that they were two completely different races.
"At this time, a young knight in gold armor rushed up, brandishing his sword, trying to kill Zorn, but he directly twisted his head..."Mr. Larry didn't seem to hear Kyle's question, and continued to remember, "Next, I heard a man's cry in the distance. It was Ryan, who ran back from the front crying, and the young knight who had just been killed was his son. Zorn turned around and stretched out his hand, as if to end Ryan's life, Andil quickly drew his sword and pierced Zorn's body, and I clearly saw that the sword in his hand was engraved with the wind mark. ”
"Wind mark!" Kyle immediately covered his mouth, but screamed anyway.
"The Wind Mark is the family seal of the Lorain Alliance, and Ace only has one sword engraved with the Wind Marble, that is, the Light-Chaser Sacred Sword created by the Lorrain Magician, and Knight Cord's Light-Chaser Holy Sword!"
"General Andil lied to you, did he steal the Light-Chaser in Ice City?" Kyle seems to know a big secret.
"You can understand why those two bad old men just don't believe me," said Mr. Larry, sighing, "After Zorn was stabbed, his body turned into black smoke and dispersed. The two armies immediately announced their withdrawal, and from then on, the northern and southern kingdoms of Ace were officially divided. I've told Ryan more than once that Andil has changed, but Ryan doesn't believe it because he saw his son killed by Zorn, and Andil killed Zon and saved him... This stupid old man!"
"And then?"
Later, Andil took charge of the South, propped up a strange Princeton family to the throne in Tambery, and succeeded in becoming a general himself. I took off my golden armor when the Southern Kingdom was officially founded, and fled to Florence for three years, where I have been living underground..."
"Why?" Kyle wondered, "why are you hiding?"
"I'm the only person other than Andil who has seen the holy sword. Who else knows this secret but me?"
"Mr. Larry," Kyle said tremblingly, "General Andiel... I'm going to kill you?"
"Luckily, I survived the next three years, but the Hunters weren't so lucky. Teacher Larry sighed, "They did not survive the joint assassination of the four countries, and these three years are also the darkest three years in the past hundred years. ”
"It's all ... It's all a conspiracy!" Kyle said angrily, "It's General Andiel's conspiracy!"
"Shhhhh Mr. Larry motioned for Kyle to shut up, "No one is going to believe you, and besides, the assassination may continue, so you'd better keep your mouth shut." ”
"And how did you get to the Wall?" Kyle continued.
"Three years later, when I saw the light again, there was good news," Mr. Larry continued, "that both Ryan and Whiss had left Tambery, founded the Valanger, and sent the guilty to the Wall. It has to be said that they are smart. The people of the Great Wall are guilty of serving in the army, so they will not be watched by Tamberi, and I came here quietly at that time. ”
After a long story, finally, everything about Ace was imprinted in Kyle's mind.
"Kyle, these stories, I shouldn't have told anyone," Mr. Larry looked at Kyle, "Do you know why, I'm going to tell you?"
Kyle shook his head.
"Ryan made me do it. ”
"Commander Lane?" Kyle was puzzled.
"He asked me to tell you our story, and of course, he also wanted to know the story of you and that little ghost. Mr. Larry smiled and looked at Kyle like an old father, "Now, can I hear your story?"
