Chapter 394: The Hundred Years War (3)
The name Graheid was somewhat familiar to Alyssa.
In fact, anyone familiar with church history will be familiar with Graheid. Beckett, Gawain, and Graheid were the three most famous knights of the same period, and they fought wars and performed feats that countless people admired. However, these three knights with the same starting point have completely different endings.
At the end of the Hundred Years' War, Graheid was charged with treason and was hunted down by the Hundred Winds, and the two fought fiercely for several days before both fell. Only Gawain succeeded Maran Fern as the head of the Roundtable Council.
Alyssa knew the name of Grahide because of another thing - before setting foot on the battlefield, her master Baifeng received a confidential mission from the royal family, and the mission was to target the exiled Knight of the Round Table Grahide.
"Wars don't start in vain, they don't end innocently. Those who start a war must have a strong motive...... "Sicia began.
According to the established timeline, she died at the end of the war, and she knows no more about the Hundred Years' War than Alyssa. But someone dragged her from the grave - more than a decade after the war had subsided. Cecia had seen the face of peace as she wished, but the person who dragged her out said that all peace was only a façade, and that the world had already been undercurrent, and that there were people preparing for a battle that was longer and more extensive than the Hundred Years' War.
White Bone Ji also said that now is not the time to rest, the people of the Byron Empire, the people of Helutiah, the people of the Twenty-Three Neutral Countries, and ...... Her friends are still waiting for her rescue. Seeing her friend again after more than a decade of sleep was a novel experience for Cecia, but she also had a bigger mission.
What people need is a hero, not a person who has abandoned his unpleasant memories and cannot face his inner frustration.
While the Byron Empire and Herutia were busy at war, the Sith was all over the continent, and stirring up strife was only his means, and although these secrets seemed more of an unrealistic fantasy to Sicia, the Sith still methodically achieved all his goals - to divide Grayla's sigil into various countries, find humans enough to inherit its power for the quicksands, prepare for the resurrection ritual of the Lord of Nature, and more importantly, obtain Grahide's powers.
It was only in the completion of the last plan that the Sith suffered some setbacks.
He underestimated Graheid, who was haunted by what had happened to Beckett and his heart had already been corrupted by the Sith, but his remaining good thoughts had slowed the Sith for more than a decade. And for more than ten years, the Byron Empire and Herutia maintained a rare peace.
Sadly, the Sith is back, and not only has he fully captured Graheid's power, but he also has the cards in his hand that are powerful enough to turn an entire era upside down.
"So Elisa, this is not the end of the war, it's the prologue. ”
Cecia stepped forward and took Elisa's hand. Although it was cruel to do so, she had to confront the gloom inside of Alyssa, and the memories that Elisa didn't want to face were also a source of her strength.
"I'll face it with you as always. ”
"At the end of the Hundred Years' War, Port Solan"
"Elisa, I've thought of a way to end the war without hurting anyone!" said in the forest on the western outskirts of Solan Harbor. Cecia's smile shook Alyssa's senses, and the feeling of nothingness before intensified—she seemed to have been here before, and heard the same thing.
She vaguely remembered that Sicia's idea was naïve and unrealistic.
Alyssa felt that she would never be able to understand Sicia, as the place said, standing in front of her was the enemy who had killed her loved ones, the number one enemy of the entire Byron Empire, and she was still smiling and talking to herself about her "peace plan".
"I have known many city lords through my father's connections, and in fact they have long been tired of the war, so we can sit down and talk about it, and if these city lords take the lead in demanding an end to the war, Your Majesty, who has lost the support of the front line, will have to comply with the will of the people, but they are not sure whether Horutia can reconcile yet...... What do you think of this plan?"
Alyssa blinked.
It was a shame that Sicia was embarrassed to ask this question—was this not just an immature plan? It was like a child's fantasy in the head, and she dared to say that any officer who knew a thing or two about military affairs could come up with a more practical plan than Sicia.
If this war could really be resolved in such a simple way, it would never last for a hundred years.
Sicia, who made the soldiers of Helutia talk about the tiger's discoloration, is this kind of goods?
However, Alyssa could not take what Cecia said as a conspiracy of the Byronic Empire, and if it was really a well-planned conspiracy, then Cecia would definitely be able to come up with a plan that seemed more practical and tempting. Looking at Cecia's self-feeling good appearance, Alyssa couldn't bear to extinguish her enthusiasm directly - after all, this stupid child's idea was good.
"Tell me about the specific plan. ”
"Sure enough, you think this plan is good, right? As long as everyone unites, we will definitely be able to stop this war!" Sicia seemed to be full of confidence: "First of all, I will secretly bring you into Solan Harbor, and arrange for you to stay in a hotel set up by a neutral country, and when there is no one at night, I will bring those city lords to your room, and we will draw up a plan overnight!"
"And then?"
"And then ......? And then, of course, everyone will work together to end this war. Cecias rightly spoke.
"Sounds doable. Alyssa pretended to agree.
In any case, she must infiltrate Solan Harbor, not only to find out the condition of her men, but also to disrupt the port defenses of Solan Harbor.
It would be nice if Sicia could help her get into the city.
"Without further ado, let's go right away!" Sicia was a little excited. Seeing Alyssa's cooperation, she thought that the soldiers of the Byron Empire must have brought back the wrong news - Alyssa was far less murderous than they said, and they had completely demonized Alyssa.
The real Alyssa is a good person who is good at talking and wants peace to come.
Cecia handed the prepared cloak to Alyssa's hand, and the long cloak was long enough to cover Alyssa's entire body. However, when they entered the city, they were still suspicious of the guards.
"Lord Cecia, what are you doing outside overnight?"
"Just going to pick up a friend, she's from the Twenty-Three Neutral Countries, and wants to buy a shop in Solan Harbor!"
Cecia told the other party what she had prepared.
"If it's a friend of Lord Sicia, no problem...... Do you think that's how things will go?"
The captain's tone changed, and the sword and axe man who had been in ambush for a long time surrounded the two in the middle, and the torches illuminated the entire city gate, only to see a majestic middle-aged man standing with his hands in his hands, staring at the two of them coldly.
"Sicia, you've disappointed me so much!"
Finally, the middle-aged man spoke.
