Norma, in a dark room, there were already a dozen farmer men, but they sat silently, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The door opened a crack, and a light came in, but it was soon engulfed in darkness.

"Sorry to be late. The visitor apologized, "There are a lot of soldiers patrolling outside. ”

"There is nothing wrong with prudence," one of them affirmed, "and we are in a precarious situation right now, and we cannot afford to be careless." ”

He glanced around the room and asked, "Have you all arrived?"

"It's all here, Captain. ”

"Very well," he nodded, "we are all gathered today to finalize our course of action. First of all, are you ready for your weapons and armor?"

"Rest assured, our swords are sharpened and sparkling. ”

The captain chuckled lightly, and quickly returned to seriousness, "We can't let that woman of unknown origin insult the glory of the princess, even if it costs us our lives. ”

He took a deep breath and whispered, "Long live Swadia!"

"Long live Svadia!"

There was a low, unwavering echo in the room, just like on the battlefield.

The town of Norma, both for Karad and Swadia, is an unusual town. When it was first established, it was not built as a settlement, but as a barracks. At that time, the Kujit had just escaped from the great tribes and began to spread over the wasteland. They don't yet know the civilization and rules of the continent, so they still harass the villages on the border of Karad as they used to be the Great Tribes.

Emperor Salazar II of Karad was annoyed by this, and the elusive Kugit cavalry always found a gap to plunder, causing a lot of trouble for the newly recovered empire. So, in order to ensure the stability of his territory, he built several castles near Dehrim, and established a cavalry camp between Dehrim and Svadia provinces to fight against the Kugit cavalry who were ready to sneak into the hinterland of Kalad. Later, Kugit made peace with Kalad and retreated to the east of Kalade, so that even if there was still a rebellion with the sound of small drums, there was no need for the large cavalry camp and garrison.

The emperor eventually withdrew the cavalry, and the remaining elderly soldiers and some disabled people who could no longer go to the battlefield were ordered to retire from the army, and they could not return to their hometowns because they were already unable to move, so they had to reclaim fields and pastures on the spot and settle down.

After that, the settlement maintained this stable life until the reign of the Empress of Wolfheart, and the settlement inexplicably became the front line against the rebels of Viruga. Later, the Empress built a series of fortresses such as Uxhall, and the settlement welcomed a new group of inhabitants, a large number of masonry to build the city, and a new name, Norma.

Norma's real rise to prominence came after Rhodok's independence. Uxhall finally began to fulfill its duties as a fortress and began to implement a blockade policy, and passing caravans could not enter the city for trading and supplies, so they had to choose a new stronghold nearby, and Norma naturally became Uxhall's gateway to the outside world.

At the same time, the lords stationed in Uxhall also discovered the benefits of Norma. Uxhall was a strong city, but it was a mountain city, and it took a lot of effort for the cavalry of the Callad Empire to get in and out, so Norma, who was located on the plains, once again took on the responsibility of garrisoning the cavalry. What's even better is that Norma started with a group of retired cavalry, coupled with years of horse raids, rogue harassment and attacks by Rhodok independents, resulting in extremely martial arts in the people, almost every young man has a few hands, although the number is not as good as that of inland villages and towns like Vida, but the strength is strong, even if it is not trained, it has considerable combat power, so that the name of the Norma militia is also powerful, especially for the Rhodok people.

During the Swadia Kingdom, Norma was even more remarkable, and became the second knight production area after the knight capital. Unlike the aristocratic boys of Suno who became knights because of their origins and family, Norma's knights were all fought with military exploits, and this has been the case for decades, which also makes the people of this town even stronger.

Aisona was about to say something, when she saw a dark shadow on the road in front of her rushing towards them, judging by this speed, it should be cavalry!

"Mu, you crow's mouth!" Asona shouted, ordering "Battle formation!"

The knights behind them immediately began to form a team, and more than a hundred horsemen behind them suddenly accelerated and jumped out of the crowd and jumped to the front of the formation.

"Mathilde?" Aisona was puzzled for a moment, and immediately smiled slightly, "They may be my old subordinates, and there shouldn't be too many of them, so try not to kill anyone." ”

"Understood. Mathilde and the others rolled over and dismounted, forming a loose formation in front of the knights' array.

This formation ... Mu who was hiding behind the cavalry felt a little incomprehensible. In his impression, the anti-cavalry operation should be a dense formation, using a large number of long weapons, and the group of Nords in front of him is not the appearance of fighting against cavalry.

"Your Highness, I said... He just wanted to remind Aisona not to underestimate the enemy, after all, it wasn't long before the caravan of more than two hundred people was killed by dozens of poorly equipped knights. But Aisona waved her hand to stop Mu from continuing. The merchant was stunned for a moment, then simply shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking. After all, whether it was a Nord or an old knight, Aisona knew better than herself, and he really didn't have much room to put his beak in.

Soon, the attacking cavalry came into a distance that could be seen. Tattered chain mail, old pack horses, washed white robes, and rusty spears. Perhaps only the knight's sword on their waist is considered to be excellent, and no matter how brainless the lord is, he can't do such a thing as taking the sword from the knight.

Ah, what a nostalgic scene. Mu sighed in his heart, it seemed to be the same when Blood Feng was first established, but if he underestimated them because of this, it would be pure death, and the guys who didn't believe in evil were either sent to see Melando or turned into bare pigs, and the end was not miserable. Although the knights were dressed in tatters, their fighting skills were absolutely top-notch. In order to save the horse's physical strength, the horse was trotted forward until it was closer, and then the horse began to charge, and at the same time leveled the spear in his hand.

"There are less than twenty people," Mu glanced at it and pouted, "They really have courage." ”

"I swear to be brave against **, I swear to fight against all mistakes, and I will make a similar vow when I become a knight. Aisona was a little proud and a little helpless, although it was all a misunderstanding, but I have to say that these veterans still abide by the oath of the year.

As he spoke, the charging knight was already close in front of him, only to hear Mathilde shout, "Ready!"

All the female warriors turned sideways in unison, raised their shields, and raised their battle axes in their right hands as they stood in the face of the ragged knights.

The knights scattered, and seemed to have chosen their respective targets, kicking the horses in the belly again, increasing the speed of the horses to the extreme. Everyone stared at their target, shouting their determination from their throats.

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

The spear and shield collided together, but at the moment of the exchange, the Nord's shield was slightly raised, and the spear, which was barely thunderous, grazed the shield surface, and was bounced out of an angle, and then the female warriors took advantage of the right hand to slash down, cutting off the horse's leg in the gallop.

THIS TECHNIQUE ... Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, this kind of combat method seemed to have seen Aisona use, and he was amazed, it turned out to be the martial art of stealing the Nords. It is said that at that time, Aisona injured an arm and the shield was broken, but only four of these Nord women were knocked down, and the shield was not broken, and it seemed that most of the strength was removed. As for the knights who rushed over, six of them fell in the first round, and the rest were also in the second, and the legs of the horses were cut off and they were knocked to the ground on the third front.

is worthy of being a Nord person, and this mistake is a death game, and only the Nord person can play it like a commonplace. Mu watched the four downed women slowly stand up with the support of their companions, and couldn't help but admire the strong vitality of the northern barbarians again. Although the speed of the pack horse is not high, and the spear is not sharp, it is not a joke to be slapped.

"Damn the Nords... As soon as the leading knight wanted to get up, he was caught by the neck with an axe, "Phew, kill if you want to, if I frown, I'm not a man!"

"At such a time, you still have the energy to speak harshly," said one of them, pacing in front of the knight on his warhorse, "you are still old and strong, Knight Chadwick." ”

When the knight heard this, his eyes widened, "This voice... You are... No!" the knight shook his head, "Her Royal Highness died in battle three years ago!"

"I'm not that thin. Aisona took off her helmet, brushed her somewhat disorganized sideburns, and smiled, "Long time no see, Chadwick, it looks like you've been doing well all these years." ”

"You... You really are ... Princess Azona?" The knight seemed to have forgotten the shame of being held around the neck by the Nords, his eyes were still as wide as brass bells, and he looked at the familiar face in front of him in disbelief, "But, I... ”

"It's like a fake. In a certain month and year, you found an edelweiss flower from the corpse of a Nord man," Isona smiled happily, "and... ”

"Stop, stop!" the knight hurriedly stopped the princess from continuing, "You, you are indeed Princess Esona!"

"Let them go. Asona waved her hand to the Nord women and told them to put away their weapons, and the group of knight veterans broke their restraints and stood up one after another, consciously standing behind the Chadwick knights.

The princess dismounted, stood before the knights, greeted them one by one, and called out the names of all of them, and even some of their heroic exploits. At this time, everyone is convinced of Aizona's identity as a princess.

"Your Highness Princess," Knight Chadwick asked, "what happened back then?" "In fact, he himself had already guessed that since Her Royal Highness was not dead, the one sitting on the throne was suspicious.

"Haraus rebelled and killed his father. "My cousin gave her life for me, and the one you've seen is the one who looks like me." ”

"I see. Knight Chadwick immediately decisively knelt on one knee and said reverently, "Your Royal Highness Princess, please allow me to continue to follow you and help you reclaim your crown!"

The knights behind them also expressed their loyalty,

"Please let us continue to follow in your footsteps!"

"Don't forget me, I'm your most loyal guard!"

"And me!"

。。。

"Get up. Aisona helped them up one by one, "I hope you are still as indomitable as you were back then!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"By the way," Chadwick patted his head, "lend me a horse, and I'll have to go back and report the good news to the brothers left behind!"

Seeing the backs of the knights gradually disappear, Her Royal Highness the princess's face appeared worried, and the Nord woman who was cleaning the battlefield asked Mathilde, "Mathilde, are you all right?" ”

"Don't worry, Your Highness Princess. Mathilde trembled and climbed back on her horse, and when she heard the call of the princess, she bowed and saluted, and almost fell off her horse again. Finally sat down, and then continued, "When we were in Uxhall, we were training against the regular knights of Bloodfront, and this kind of small thing is not worth mentioning. ”

"But," said Asona, gesturing at the female warriors who were bandaging herself, "are they all right? I see them being swept down, so be careful, but don't fall into any troubles." ”

"I've seen it, but I have a slight injury to my arm. Mathilde gratefully replied, "The most serious thing is just a broken bone, just a few months of recuperation." After all, we are only facing veterans this time, and the spears are not sharp, and the horses are not fast. ”

"That's good," Isona nodded, "don't clip the splint crookedly, or it will be too painful to break the reconnection." "The knight princess is still alive!

Princess Asona is here in Norma!

The Chadwick knights were very efficient, and the news of the princess's return swept through the town like a whirlwind in just half a day. It was a little unbelievable, but with the old knights' vows, people came out of their homes, eager to see the heroic princess for themselves. And the facts once again prove that the reputation of the knight princess is not covered. As the heroes of Swadia, when they entered the city, it was already empty, and even in the cold wind of deep winter, the townspeople of Norma still lined up on both sides of the street, cheering to welcome their future queen.

As the procession of knights passed, more and more veterans joined the procession on horseback, and some young men, dressed in their father's armor, trotted to keep up with the procession, while shouting their names.

"Qin Sheng, the son of the Knight of Silard, is willing to serve Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"Hahn, son of Klim Knight, is willing to serve Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"Ronis, the son of Knight Von Ziman, is willing to serve Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

。。。

Aisona looked at the ever-expanding team and listened to the endless cheers, and her heart was filled with unprecedented confidence.

"We're going to win, right!" she looked excitedly at Mu's location, but there was nothing around her.

"Hey, what about people?"

。。。

The bloody air filled me, and I breathed desperately,

Tired and unable to exert his strength, the battle continues,

The mutilated sword in his hand has long since lost his life,

Brothers who have fallen from afar rest in eternal peace,

Through the town forest, wading through the snowy wetlands,

Protect the frontier territory and fulfill the sacred mission.

Meet you, in the battle of triumph,

Honor in life, willing to follow you forever.

The vows of an ancient lineage guide me to be steadfast.

The honor of generations of knights, engraved with my name.

Merando gives life, and I am proud,

Everything that maintains this tranquility needs my proof.

When I heard of your fall, my eyes reddened with tears.

In the morning, the sky is getting brighter, and I see you lying in the tomb.

I'm singing, the war song is echoing,

The passionate melody is here for you.

There were several hits from the enemy, which I have long forgotten.

The once heroic figure is my last light.

The song of triumphant victory, unheard for a long time, perhaps.

The muscles that are slowly relaxing have no strength.

There will be no more victories and no more honors.

Until that path, and forever beautiful you.

I'm singing, the song of reunion.

When the snowflakes fall, hold the gun again and follow you.

Soon after, a poem spread through the streets of Svadia in the footsteps of the bard, the mournful melody won the tears of many young ladies and wives, and with the legend of the knight princess, the name Asona became a topic of conversation again. However, the impact was only there, only some old people whose hair had begun to turn a little gray quietly took out their still sharp long swords from the bottom of the box in the middle of the night, and were stunned.
