49 Expedition
It's dawning.
The morning light spreads over the ridges and reflects on the moor. Most people don't get a good night's rest, and the whispering doesn't stop all night.
Erin wakes up on a boulder and sneezes to find that Lorne is not around. She curled up on a large rock wrapped in a sheet, looked around, and asked if anyone else had seen Lorne, but they all said no.
The centurion and Yugosia were also absent, and Rhodes summoned the people to the town square, where the princess waited. At this time, Lorne also came out of the ruins of the town, but it was not the same as before.
He wears a dark leather jacket, black stiff leather boots, black fingerless gloves, and a black stiff leather cowboy hat. The shadow of the brim of his hat obscured his countenance, revealing an inexplicable solemnity.
Lorne saw the oncoming Erin and brushed her long hair, "Wake up." ”
Erin looked at his outfit, Nunu said, "I was still looking for you just now, where did I get this dress?"
"Yugshia commissioned the tailor to do it for me, and it was finished a few days ago and placed in the warehouse. Lorne replied, "She said she would give me new clothes when she left." ”
"It's pretty good. Erin leaned into his ear, "Much like Samuel." ”
"That's how I remember him. Lorne replied softly.
The two followed the other survivors through the rubble to the town square. On the way, Sheena's gaze drifted over from time to time, and Luo wanted to say hello, but Sheena's gaze bounced away again.
"You look too much like Samur. Erin leaned into her ear and whispered, "Especially the hats, almost identical." ”
"Maybe I shouldn't have worn it today. Lorne replied in a low voice, "Makes her feel sad." ”
Erin shook her head: "It's happened, she'll take it." Sheena is a lot stronger than you think. ”
"But Samuel...... It must be important to her. ”
Erin Nunu mouthed, and didn't know how to answer. The two snuggled up to each other and continued on their way.
The huge square was cleaned overnight, and there are no traces of the disaster. A few surviving horses were tethered to stone pillars, sheathed with light armor, and dragged large wagons loaded with various supplies.
The centurion and Yughija were already standing on the high stone platform. After settling the people, Rhodes also stepped onto the stone platform.
In fact, last night, Lorne was also invited to the stage by Yugshia, but Lorne politely declined. He felt that in his own capacity, it didn't seem appropriate. So he hugged Erin from the audience and stood in the crowd.
After the assembly, no one spoke.
Yugshia's image has taken on a new look, changing from her previous casual dress, and now she looks very solemn. The inner lining is a white aristocratic dress, dark leather pants on the lower body that outline the curves of the legs, and a pair of black platform boots.
She was dressed in a black coat, and the black feathers around her collar swayed in the morning breeze. A silver metal rose pinned to her chest, glittering. He wears a silver hollowed-out head ring on his forehead and a shawl of long dark red hair.
Seeing her outfit, people finally remembered her identity. Not only the hunters of White Sails, but also the royal family of Nokmar.
Jughija von Reinhard, Rose Princess.
The centurion also took off his hunter outfit and changed into silver Ghent armor. Protected by reflective armor, the silver lion opened its mouth on its right shoulder, as if loudly announcing the glory of the knight. The face-covering helmet is cucked around the waist, and the blue cloak on the back is emblazoned with a sword and shield.
The Guardian Knight of the Royal Family, President of the Lionheart.
"Good morning, everyone. Yugshia looked down at the crowd and straightened up, "Today, we are about to set off. ”
She avoided talking about yesterday's disaster, fearing that it would cause an uproar.
"During this time in White Sails, we have had both bitterness and joy. Despite the devastation, there is still hope. She said, "The fire ignited in our breasts will illuminate our way forward." ”
The people in the audience looked at her, and some people remembered the past. The heyday of Nokmar, that is the glory of the people. The fog has destroyed the land beyond recognition, and monsters are rampant. Scarce resources, people close to them dying in calamity, people are losing every day. The barely surviving almost destroyed people's faith, but the arrival of Yugshia finally brought hope to the people.
And today, the time is now. Returning to the royal capital, when people heard these long-awaited words, the hope shrouded in the fog was rekindled.
"Today, we are embarking on a journey back home. This road will be full of difficulties and obstacles, and thorns will be everywhere. But I will be with you. Yugshia's eyes shone with determination, "Even if I stain the earth with blood, I will definitely overcome thorns and open up the way!"
People were moved by what she said, and whispered sobers and quietly dispersed in the square.
"The body of the deceased sleeps here, and the soul is immortal, and it will walk with us. Our Lady Celine is blessed by heaven, blessed and gracious, and will add to my body. ”
Yugothya waved her arms, and the red flag in her hand unfurled in the wind, revealing blooming roses. The centurion and Rhodes unfurl their banners on either side, with a roaring lion on the left and a one-horned lion on the right.
Guardian family, Eureka the unicorn lion!
Knights of Naoli, Lionheart!
The new battle flag of the royal family, the rose is in full bloom!
"Ladies and gentlemen, I will reclaim the land that belongs to us one by one! I will take back the glory that belongs to us with my own hands!" Yugshia shouted in a loud voice, "Please go with me! Return to the royal capital!"
In response to her, everyone knelt down on one knee, accompanied by a neat reply: "I wish to return to the royal capital with His Highness!"
The morning breeze blows, and the battle flag hunts. There was no sound, tears slid down his cheeks, and people familiar and strange embraced each other. The tears of affection falling on the gray stone bricks are a tribute to the dead, a grief for the kingdom, but also the beginning of hope.
The three of them walked down the stone platform, planted the three flags in each of the three carriages, and organized the people with limited mobility to board the carriage, and the remaining exiles accompanied the carriage, and the hunters protected them in all directions.
After the array was arranged, it was firmly proposed to leave a war horse for the princess. Yugothya heededed, turned and stepped onto the horse, the centurion taking the reins.
When everything was ready, Yugshia looked out at the mountains to the north. Her gaze seemed to penetrate the mountains, to see the Great Church, the King's Castle, and the great towns in the distance.
The dawn fell on her great shackles, and the feathers on her shoulders were golden. She took a deep breath.
"Let's go. ”
The year 229 of the Nokmal calendar, the end of September. After the town of White Sail was devastated by the Evil Gods, the survivors embarked on the Rose Expedition under the leadership of the princess Yugxia.
In the distant future, this journey will go down in history.
