Chapter 257: Wild

Late at night, Aisona leaned back in her chair, the tent still lit slightly, and she lost sleep again, but I don't know if it was intentional or not. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info she remembered the flying arrow and the unexpected fall of the horse a year ago, and the head of the gray-haired Kujits, whose old appearance contrasted with the innocent expression. She didn't know what that meant, but sighed that her luck was better, and her luck seemed to have been good all along. She is the queen, the person who Glen Dil protects, and she cannot disbelieve in herself in the slightest, and only in this way can her country be strong. She wanted to revise her father's sentence of believing in your people, because only by believing in yourself can you trust your own people. It was because she believed in herself that she was able to subdue the old lords, it was because she believed in herself that she was able to fully trust the actions of Reon, to appear in the right place in battle after battle, and because she believed in herself, she exiled Greinward, the lords of Reys who followed her again after her word. She never asks herself in detail why she did this, because these things, though often contradictory, all miraculously lead to the ultimate success, which she attributes to the power of faith, both for Glenn and for herself.

However, whenever she has insomnia, she still can't help but think about these questions, just like when a person sits in the room with nothing to do, he will always look at the clock without listening, although time is actually meaningless to him, it is like a physiological habit, like the daily sweating of human beings. She wondered what the land of Salander meant to her, and there were many people who didn't support the war. Some say she is just trying to prove herself that she can conquer this land that even the conqueror Rejek did not conquer. In fact, she didn't think it was that complicated, she just instinctively realized that Salander had been recuperating for too long in the years she had been on her expeditions, and she only felt that it was a danger. But on the other hand, she didn't want to admit that she thought in her heart that Leon was in Salander, she didn't want to admit that she still had the hope of seeing Leon, she wanted to erase Leon's existence but knew from the bottom of her heart that it couldn't be done, so she wanted to see him with her own eyes. She took Fatis and put him under house arrest in order to witness some kind of encounter with her own eyes one day. She is so spontaneous and resolute, and she understands that this is her charm.

And when the news of Ellen's death came, she felt a little sorry but not sad. She never felt that Ellen could be the commander of a side, he was always at the front, and she had expected the defeat of the first battle, so Ellenn's death was not a surprise to her. She remembered the days of the war with Reon, and it was hard to sleep every day, when news of the invasion of the Rhodoks and Vecchians came, and the remnants of Haraus persevered. She leaned back in her chair every night as she does now, deliberately keeping herself alert, and insomnia seemed to become a habit because of it.

She remembered the night of the storming of Fort Tyre, when Haraus, who was about to commit suicide, was captured alive by the soldiers and brought to her eyes. The blood on his face has not yet been wiped away, and his aging face still bears traces of past heroism and unyielding mood. She looked at Haraus, just smiled and asked him:

"Uncle, how have you been doing in the past few years?"

Haraus didn't speak, but laughed out loud, his armor trembling.

All the lords were by Asona's side at the time, and they were thinking about what Asona would do with Haraus, but they didn't have time to think, because Asona quickly asked the soldiers to untie Haraus and let him go, despite everyone's shocked expressions.

"I'm different from Harlaus, I'm Azona, I'm Esona. She only looked calmly at the lords around her and said slowly. The lords all began to praise Asona for her generosity and demeanor, but Rayon did not speak, he looked at Esona's majestic expression, calm as the river of Uxhall in autumn. A few days later, Rayon told her that Harlaus's ship had been shipwrecked and drowned, and she didn't say a word, but she thought it was logical.

Since Leon left, she had found that no one could understand herself like that. She didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing, she didn't know if she wanted to be understood or not, she felt that she had some kind of dangerous passion and yearning. She remembered that Vidim had died in the end, and that his story of revenge had not worked out because he had truly thought that others understood his passion for revenge, and that belief had led him to entrust his fate to someone else, and he would be defeated.

Aisona got up and walked out of the tent, the sky in the east was already slightly white, and she smiled, knowing that it was time to act.

Years later, as Leonshiro rode his horse to the stars in the desert of Salander, ready to see Aisona for the last time, he remembered the warm, calm afternoon that his sister had given him a scarf decades ago. At that time, Kwyn was still a prosperous and stable village, and it was here that Leonxiro spent his childhood. It is customary for people who go out to sea to fish every morning to greet each other, and the mysterious sound of waves crashing on the shore in the silence of the night is only a symbol of the abundance of nature rather than the arrival of invaders. Trade with the Nords made Sago prosperous, and it was not uncommon to see the long-sailing dragon horn ships in Kwyn. He didn't know that such a peaceful life would last only 15 years. Leon's father was a knight under the command of the Earl of Reis, who did not have a particularly strong prowess or will, but was known for his affableness, which would be a nightmare in times of peace. His fiefdom was in the village of Kwyn, where Earl Reys occasionally visited to see how the knight, who was known for his proximity to the people, was doing. When Leonshiro was 5 years old, his sister Tita was born. The mother died in childbirth. When he saw his mother's dying smile and drooping hands, he heard his sister's cry and her delicate body. Since then, he has vowed not to let her be hurt in the slightest, and to protect her life with his own life. In fact, before he had to live his vow, his father, the laughing knight, spent the night silent in front of his wife's body, and he took his daughter's name Tita, and made the same vow in his heart as his son, and finally he took the lead in fulfilling it.

The days that followed were still uneventful, and the happiness was unknowing. Rayon inherited his father's approachable personality, and he was able to understand the emotions of others, whether commoners or nobles. But he was only from a small knightly family, and this ability did not seem special, and no one expected too much from him, and in the end, if he could be selected to join the King's Knights of the Guards, he would have reached the pinnacle. Leon himself didn't have too much extravagance, he just looked forward to being able to protect his father's small fiefdom and be able to fulfill his oath. Tita was pampered by her brother and father from an early age, but she didn't become spoiled either. She is deeply aware of the loneliness and shackles of her brother, and she understands the pressure to show strength at all times. Even my father would sometimes get drunk and make a fuss in the house when he remembered his mother's grief, but my brother never did, and he always calmly put him on the bed and set him in place, while Tita quietly cleaned up the vomit and put away the utensils that his father had thrown on the ground, and then smiled at each other when Leon came out, ready to listen to his father's shameful apology the next morning. But there aren't many such moments, and the occasional episode is just to reflect the usual happiness. Tita gave her brother a hand-knitted scarf when he came of age, and Leon never left him as he traveled from place to place. Rayon promised to take his sister to Parabun when she came of age, to see the steep fjords and the waves from the towering walls. My sister always smiled and nodded, and my brother never broke his word since he was a child.

However, soon after Reon came of age, Harding Hareb Brex led his Nord army to arrive, and the Northern War began, and the Imperial forces, which had not fought for a long time, showed signs of rout, and within half a year, the Karad Empire lost all the territory north of the Jerberg Mountains, and lost 80,000 troops. The army of Leon Siro and his father quickly turned from fighting to fleeing, and the family left their homeland with a heavy heart. During this time, the father no longer smiled as often as he used to, but he could not be as ruthless as a warrior, and he became silent and passive. But Leon was still optimistic, and he comforted Dita:

"It's okay, we'll be able to get the land back later. Now let's go to Paravon to see the fjord, Tita. ”

Tita still smiled and nodded, she always believed in her brother's.

The Imperial army continued to retreat, and finally King Yaistrich decided to retreat to Fort Derborg, and through Fort Derborg entered the Plain of Suno, where the Imperial knights could use their might. The empire reserved enough men to garrison Fort Gerburg to buy time for the king's retreat. Reon's father was assigned to Castle Derburg. At this time, he was determined to die, and he was no longer so sorrowful. Leon and Tita didn't know about it before they left, and the gray-haired father looked at his children and smiled again, so that Leon and Tita were convinced that they could see each other, but they didn't know that their father's smile implied goodbye.

Reon and Tita departed, and they were included in the baggage transport procession, which included most of the soldiers' families. In less than 5 days, news of the fall of Fort Gerburg came, and no one survived. But they did not have time to grieve, and the troops of the Nords were on their way to come. Unbeknownst to them, the guides of the baggage detachment had been bribed by the Nords, and they had been taken to the forests of Reboret by a detour, where they were ambushed by the Nordic longbowmen and senior soldiers. The crowd began to flee in panic, but the unorderly rout could only turn into a massacre. Leon desperately guarded his sister behind him, looking for a horse from which he could escape. The moment of the fight was as long as a lifetime, they finally found a horse, but they did not realize that the white was too dazzling, and the immaturity of the moment of life and death was exposed, and the moment Tita boarded the horse, a cone-headed arrow flew into Tita's back, her blonde hair scattered, and blood gushed out, reflecting a bright red color in Leon's panicked eyes. The surrounding Nord soldiers gradually moved closer. Leon also boarded the horse, hugged his sister, and wielded his sword to fight his way out, but Dita's life could not be saved.

Muhdadin returned to Sekuten again, and he did not return much in a year, and he did not attend the wedding of Baska and Feljans, and no one knew how deep his affection was for this village, and he did not want it to become a second Shibazumer, so he placed his feelings on the gate of the Gamiedburg, into which he had cast his life, and became part of the sand, the walls, and the towers there. He came back this time just to tell everyone about Aisona's dispatch of troops again, so that the villagers could get ready.

It was that night that Muhardin, Gore, Feljans, and Bhaskar reunited in Muharddin's house, and they were all silent, for no one knew what the fate would be. The room was quiet, except for the crackling of firewood, and the light of the fire danced in the air, as if it were a newborn life. Soon both Muhardin and Bhaskar fell asleep in such a quiet atmosphere, and only Gore and Feljans were still watching the flames.

"Fairians, do you remember the epic you mentioned earlier?" Gore asked suddenly, his old scarf still around his neck.

"Well, but I'm not going to write it down anymore. Feljans said lightly.

"Because of the ugly war?" said Gore, slowly, as if his mind were still in the distant past, trying to remember.

Ferjans nodded.

"Yes, the war of all evils. Gore smiled wryly, "Sometimes it's unavoidable." Those so-called heroes are just mortals. Maybe Leon is just a coward. ”

Feljans looked at Gore, and a vague image suddenly appeared in his mind, an image that he had been pursuing, had experienced abandonment, but had never been able to get rid of. He was suddenly taken aback: "Grandpa Gore, you..."

"No matter the sand or the stone, the water will eventually sink to the bottom. Gore stood up, smiled and said to Ferjans, "If you have a chance to see your mother, say hello to my old butler on my behalf." Then he turned and walked out the door without the slightest hesitation. There was a clear neighing of a horse outside the door, and the old but tragic back still flickered in the firelight.

The next day, when Feljans returned home, he looked at his worried wife, took him tightly in his arms, and said in a soft but unquestioning tone: "Don't worry, this battle will not be fought. ”

"Huh?" Safiya was full of confusion, but her husband's tone was so resolute.

"Safia, the only thing we can do is live happily. Only by grasping this happiness firmly can we repay those who are willing to sacrifice their lives for their sins and ugliness. Fellyans' voice slowly became trembling.
