Chapter 033: Sword Qi
Countless sword qi swept through, and the sword power was as arrogant as a giant beast in the wilderness, wantonly destroying everything that dared to stand in its way. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Cesar's sword strength had been destroyed by a stronger opponent before it could be broken, and he could only defend with all his might, but he still did not back down, and swung his giant sword even wilder, shouting angrily: "You just use her as a pawn, don't you!
Cesar's ribs were covered with paint, and blood was dripping, but he still questioned Perel loudly: "Do you know that this will kill her!
yes, that's going to kill her.
I know, I know that as a hegemon, I shouldn't have emotional weakness.
It's all my fault, I want to carry out Kulin's plan, but I also don't think Tolia will be implicated.
It was my decision that led to her death.
Perel was originally extremely obedient by nature, and the more guilty he felt in his heart, the more he didn't let go of his mouth: "Yes, so what?"
"She's just a pawn, and since I learned from my master that his great nemesis has created an unfathomable sword technique of his own, and that it can be even more powerful, I want to do my best to follow his heir. β
"But then I found out that she didn't inherit that person's self-created swordsmanship at all, since the chess pieces have no value, what if they are destroyed?"
Perel laughed loudly, and the laughter was full of chills, and he grew louder and louder, as if he was beguiling his heart, and as if he was convincing himself that he had not loved the innocent girl.
In fact, he really wanted to get the information of the Yang Stream Sword Technique from Toria's hands, but since the day when the fool confessed to him, everything has changed, and his heart has been engraved with the girl's name so deeply from this moment that it still aches faintly.
The storm triggered by the twin swords became even more violent, inflicting countless wounds on Cesar's body, large and small.
"That's all fake! On the road to hegemony, love will only become a fetter!"
The storm triggered by the twin swords, though violent, suddenly stopped with a crisp and familiar sound.
"It turns out ... That's it... Toria didn't know when she was standing at the door at the top of the tower, and she didn't know what she had just heard, but two lines of tears had already flowed.
After a long time, Perel opened his mouth to say something, but Tolia shook her head: "Needless to say, yesterday is over, and you and I are strangers." β
Perel laughed miserably: "Okay! Okay! Okay! So what are you doing here!?"
Tolia resolutely pulled out the hazy moon behind her: "Please, sir, let the innocent people go." β
Perel was still half mad: "Okay! You are all going to destroy my inheritance and take my life! If you have the ability! Then come!"
Two swords dance together, two days first-class.
Giant sword sweep, yang flow swordsmanship.
The hazy moon slashes obliquely, and the secret technique Yan returns.
The sword light flew by, for a moment like the sky full of stars and rivers, for a while like the confluence of three rivers surging endlessly, and for a while like thunder and thunder in the sky.
Finally, the sword light went out, leaving only a muffled gasp.
Cesar was struck in the shoulder with a sword deep into his bones, barely standing up against the wall.
On the other side of the tower, Toria's sword pierced through Perel's chest and through his back, and while the blow didn't hurt the vital point, it left Perel too badly injured to fight.
Perel choked out a mouthful of blood and touched Toria's face with a smile: "Sure enough, you are still reluctant to kill me." β
Tolia stared blankly at him covered in blood, and for a moment she was speechless.
After a while, Tolia let go of the hand on the hilt of the sword, turned her head with difficulty, and took two steps: "I hope you will be able to do it yourself in the future." She had just taken a step, only to find that she had nowhere to focus on her feet.
Mutants!
The beams and structures of the original middle floor had long been damaged by continuous explosions and burns, coupled with heavy rain and fierce fighting, and some positions finally could not bear it and collapsed.
Toria was about to fall from the tower, but Cesar was far away in the corner on the other side, unable to reach it for a while, and she knew that she might not be spared this time, so she could only close her eyes and let herself fall.
"Toria, goodbye. β
Perel's voice suddenly sounded in her ears, and then a huge force came from her waist, and she quickly opened her eyes to see that Perel was falling rapidly, and she was being held up by the force of a palm to fly close to the top of the tower.
Cesar finally arrived, and his large strong hands grabbed Torya's clothes steadily, and dragged her back to the top of the tower, wheezing.
Tolia quickly poked her head out and cried out in pain, "Perel!"
Perel seemed to hear it, smiled slightly, and then completely disappeared into the darkness below.
That smile was exactly the same as the first meeting between the two of them on deck. After the deaths of Perel and Darnell, the Nord army quickly captured Tiha and made the Nord rebels known to the public, quickly gaining the hearts and minds of the people under his rule.
Since most of the Nord's subjects had relocated to the distant continent of ice and snow, and the kingdom of Upper Nord in Calradia had already existed in name only, and the city of Tiha alone could do nothing, Hill decided to organize the people of Tiha to return to the dominion of the distant mother country to start a new life.
The night before his departure, Tiha once again held a grand bonfire.
As Tolia strolls through Tiha's scarred streets, memories come to mind, where she has experienced so much that the day she left is full of reluctance.
In the distance, the people gathered around the bonfire, singing and dancing, as if celebrating their victory, but how could they not celebrate the defeat of the dead?
The two bears who looked like Kugit people by the campfire were singing loudly by the fire in the way of his hometown, and from time to time dancing violently, so that the people around him forgot about the fun for a while, and just looked at him blankly.
Those pathetic lyrics keep coming:
Don't be glad, O eagle,
Your corpse will always become food for others;
Don't be proud, O tiger,
Your flesh will nourish the greenery of the grasslands;
All things, all things, are spiritual,
The dead pass away, and the living rise.
The living have taken over the palaces of the dead;
Who is happy and who is sad?
All things, O mother, borrow life;
And then back to nothingness.
Rest in peace and return to the arms of your mother.
Rest in peace and return to that nothingness.
The eternal tranquility of the original is with you.
Toria listened to this, and for a moment she was even stupid, and stood in the street for a long time, and under the dim streetlamp, the thin girl seemed to slowly understand something.
Ten minutes later, when Cesar came out into the street as promised, ready to pick up Tolia and set off back to Vader's estate in Swadia, he found that the girl was long gone, and only a makeshift note was left on the wall, which read:
"I'm sorry, but my heart hasn't been at peace yet. Before I go back, I want to travel again to untie the knots in my heart. Rest assured, we'll see each other again soon.
- Your fiancΓ©e, Tolia Levin. I slowly closed the last page of the diary, and my heart was already stirring with the events recorded in the diary, and I didn't notice that the sky outside the window was gradually brightening.
I looked up at the painting hanging on the wall, and I couldn't imagine that the kind old woman with a wrinkled smile had ever been a sword fighter.
This diary I found while I was sorting through my grandmother's belongings, it was delicately wrapped in cowhide and placed at the bottom of a box.
I happily spent the whole night reading it, and suddenly I understood a lot of things that I didn't understand before.
For example, why my last name, Slenger, reads so awkwardly.
For example, why did Grandma plant red roses in her garden in Havaha?
For example, why does the one-armed grandfather always look so serious and terrifying, not angry but mighty.
There are also family rules such as why the family rules stipulate that the children of the clan are not allowed to join the army for generations.
Perhaps these are the life insights they gained from that war-torn era.
But the troubled times are over, and the era of peace is coming.
Since the return of the Nords, the original territory of the Nord was only left with a loose landlord army, and after several sweeps by Swadia and Vigia, it was completely incorporated into the territory of these two countries.
Over the next decade, firearms technology gradually spread across the continent from the Nord battlefield through Svadia and Vegia, and for a time the reaction of various countries was mixed.
Among them, the Kugit was the most prominent, because of the long years of arching and horse-mounted warfare, so they were strongly opposed to the development of firearms, and finally became the first country to be defeated by firearms, forty years later, the rumbling artillery and arquebuses drove these horseback people back to the other side of the snowy mountains, and they have not been seen again.
And the most rapid development is said to be Rodok and Salander, but the direction of the two main attacks is different, Rodok mainly attacked muskets, and even developed a firing gun without a fire rope in the end, with the flying projectiles, finally out of the mountains, and shot down the proud Swadia knight again and again.
Salander, on the other hand, focused on artillery, and all kinds of artillery came into being, and the once thick walls could no longer stop the powerful bombardment and the sharp scimitars of the Salanders.
Finally, sixty years after the return of the Nords, Salander finally defeated Rhodok and the swaying Svadia and once again unified the entire continent of Calradia.
Now in the eighth year of the Saland's imperial calendar, war has gradually moved away from the people's sight, and now exploration and development are the main themes of this era.
Why do I know so much, you ask?
I'm the director of the Royal Library of the Salander Empire.
Just as my thoughts were drifting, I was interrupted by a hurried knock on the door, followed by the familiar voice of the butler: "Master Morgan, if you don't make the journey again, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch the boat." β
I quickly got up from my chair, ran out of the door in three or two steps, jumped into the carriage that the butler had prepared in the morning, and before leaving, I picked up a piece of bread from the table and put it in my mouth.
Yes, if you don't hurry up, you won't be able to catch up with this trip.
The mighty empire has brought us scholars together this time to investigate and explore beyond our continent.
It's really exciting, I wonder if I have a chance to go to the ancient Eastern continent recorded in my grandmother's diary, or the hometown of the legendary Nords?
Thinking about it, the carriage had already started, and it took me and my thoughts with it, and gradually drove away.
