Chapter 260: The Prelude
The war began, and the only people who were particularly sensitive to it were the civilians who were on the battlefield, at least for the people of Shibata County, and the dust floating in the air told them that their good days were over. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This year can definitely be the most unlucky year in the hearts of the people of Shibata County, just after the demon tide raged, these surviving people were still counting on a big effort to rebuild their homes, but before waiting for the relief funds from the Imperial Treasury, their own imperial army had quickly taken over the place, and quickly erected tents one after another on the ruins of their houses.
Well, at least compared to the fangs of the devil, the sharp blades of the empire are not unacceptable, but the dull atmosphere still makes the people of Shibata County, who love a peaceful life, feel a little uneasy, especially the huge tree that suddenly appeared, growing little by little, spreading little by little, and the branches that spread and grow, just like the panic in the hearts of the people of Shibata County, are magnified little by little.
And all this was ignited by a trivial incident, the source of which could no longer be traced, and by the time the Imperial army found out, the docile people like sheep had already taken up their own weapons, either knives or sticks.
At this time, the soldiers of these empires should be glad that because of the comfortable and hedonistic personality of the people of Shibata County, the blacksmiths in this territory are still greatly reduced compared to the imperial capital, otherwise it would not be wooden sticks and firewood that surround them at this time, but a fine iron long sword.
"What are you trying to do, rebel!" The lieutenant of the army stationed here was still undaunted by the lion represented by the army as he watched these formerly docile sheep begin to show their true colors of madness.
"Rebellion, the empire's army is going to leave us, what's the point of rebelling at this time?"
The crowd erupted in questioning that made the adjutant flinch a little, although the news of the departure had just been delivered, but why would these people know that the army had left this place and abandoned this place.
"This is the territory of the Empire, you are the subjects of the Empire, and as the shield and sword of the Empire, we will never abandon this place. ”
Pushing his lieutenant away, General Van Gaulle stood in front of everyone like a stone wall, although the back and forth rush made the famous imperial general show fatigue, but the pair of falcon-like eyes still made ordinary people feel afraid.
"General, General?" The adjutant was a little shocked, Her Majesty's order was still on the table, and it was clearly written that he would abandon this place, return to defense, and arrange the front in the area of Rose Manor and Stoli Town, although it was cruel, but this place had been abandoned by the Empire, and now his immediate boss wanted to garrison here, wasn't this against Her Majesty's order?
Is there a contradiction between the reformists and the old-fashioned, such a thought flashed in the adjutant's mind, after all, since Her Majesty the Empress ascended the throne, many old-school generals and nobles have more or less lost their original rights, and there are many more young faces in various institutions of the empire, such as the clerk under the command of Delian, Miss Anna, is not only a staff member of the Grand Duke Violet, but also the chief executive of Her Majesty the Empress, and she is probably the last old man in this army, of course, counting his boss General Van Gaulle.
Therefore, the obvious disobedience of General Van Gaulle was naturally understood by the adjutant as an explosion of contradictions between the reformists and the old-fashioned, which had reached a critical point since the time of the previous emperor, Lane VIII, and although the fall of the lion and the attack of the demon tide had put this contradiction on hold, it was now raised again.
Strange, isn't the Violet family the head of the old school, why the daughter of the Grand Duke is biased towards the reformist, it's really incomprehensible.
Regardless of how much a soldier knows about politics, the current situation has finally stabilized with the emergence of General Van Gaulle, and the name of the famous general of the empire is still very convincing.
"Even if you plan to garrison here, with the current strength, can you protect us?"
The crowd erupted again into questioning, which made the general realize that this matter was not a popular incident in the simple sense of the word, after all, no one would be so keenly aware that there were not many troops here, yes, from the moment they received the empress's order, most of the troops stationed here had begun to march towards the Wallway Manor, and now if they stay here, only General Van Gaulle's own elite will act as a buffer zone, but even so, for ordinary people, it is not the experience that these ordinary people should have to be able to say that the current situation of insufficient troops is not what these ordinary people should have。
Someone instigated, this thought flashed in the heart of the famous imperial general, and the eagle-like gaze swept across the audience, making the famous imperial general find a trace of abnormality.
The heart moved at will, the long sword on his waist had already fallen into his hand, the long sword stabbed out of the void, and the actual sword light pounced on the crowd like a galloping tiger, and the panic of the people was ignited in an instant, but the general's sword was to avoid the ordinary people who fled in all directions.
"Tsk, it's been discovered. Some of the gloating voices couldn't stop the sword.
The holy light suddenly appeared, and in an instant, it condensed into a solid barrier, and the sharp light slammed into the barrier, and the sharp chirp also announced the identity of the person behind the instigation.
"Is the Holy See already so unscrupulous?
Revealing his identity, the punishment envoy did not say much, nor did he refute, pulling up the black witch Vivien beside him and quickly retreating.
"Hey, it's your idea, why did you drag me into the fire pit with you. ”
"Shut up! Whether it's the Holy See or your Shrine Maiden's Association is the more convincing of the incitement. ”
"I think that your Holy See has reached the pinnacle of inciting people's hearts. "Stepping back can't stop the essence of the dark witch Vivien's poisonous tongue.
"Black Witch, if your Eastern Capital Alliance wants to intervene, please let the Seven Great Sages of your Alliance talk to me. "General Van Gaulle clearly did not want to let go of the culprits who instigated this civil disaster.
"Seven sages, you think too highly of yourself, don't you?"
"Look at it or not, I'll tell you the answer now!"
He shouted loudly, and the long sword in his hand was suddenly slashed, and at the same time, he also told the dark witch Vivien and the punisters of the Holy See whether he was qualified to talk to the Great Sage on an equal footing.
High-level warriors, half-step epic!
There is no epic that leaves a mark, there is no epic that has been recognized by the dragon, but for the dark witch Vivien and the Punishment Envoy, it is enough to be a huge threat, not to mention that those elites stationed in the garrison have already begun to draw their swords, just waiting for an order from their own general.
"Is that enough!" General Van Gaulle seemed to ask, but his tone was like squeezing the two of them with the strength of a thousand pounds.
"Oh, I originally just accompanied you to mess around because I happened to be in Shibata County, I said, the Holy See won't treat you as an outcast. ”
"Even so, it's for the sake of faith, and I have no complaints, and besides, I'm not an outcast as you say. As if in response to the words of the Punishment Envoy, a stream of holy light rose into the sky, like a bright star in the Milky Way bursting with incomparable brilliance, and the holy light that soared to the sky rose from the forest on the outskirts of Shibata County with warmth and fearlessness.
General Van Gaulle would never have dreamed that what he was waiting for as a buffer was not Ella's White Knights, nor Star's elite infantry, but the Holy See, which he didn't care about the most.
The Knights of Light, the trump card of the Holy See, are also their only threatening force.
The ivory white knight's armor representing the goddess, the bladeless sword symbolizing the Holy See's command, and the red cloak containing chivalry all told General Van Gaulle where these uninvited guests came from.
"Is this the hole card that your Holy See wants to intervene in the war, it's really too much to do!" General Van Gaulle raised his sword in his hand, and the power of the epic began to pour out of his body.
Epic, this is an honorific title for the high rank, but some people think that the epic can no longer be divided into the high rank, and the reason why this statement appears is because of the world's perception of the epic.
The pinnacle is epic.
Only at the pinnacle of a certain field can you be qualified to be recognized by the dragon and be qualified to leave your own mark, such as Simmel the Wind Rider, Leila the Wind Blaster, Walding the Sword of Light and Richard the Phantom, all of which are admirable existences, and the current General Van Gaulle has only touched the threshold of the peak of his own domain, which can be called high-level, but not epic.
General Van Gaulle, who has not yet reached the pinnacle of his realm, can gather the power of his sword as much as any epic hero.
"Cang, galloping!" the pale blue color hung over the sword, and the power of the tiger fell impressively.
The sword broke through the sky and fell, and the light rushed to it.
Just like the blue rush of ultramarine, the huge air flow was compressed to the extreme and condensed into a destructive air column, turning out the deep earth and destroying the surrounding scenery.
It was an epic blow with all its might, and it made the dark witch Vivi so frightened that she couldn't even chant a spell.
The Punishment Envoy also did not expect that in addition to the Sword Saint Simmel, there were also strong people in the Betley Empire who could be called the pinnacle.
At this moment, it is no longer appropriate to complain about the lag of information, and the punishment can only light up all his holy light, trying to resist the blow of this epic hero.
"The holy light is like a mountain!" the three mantras came out, and the holy light took shape, ready to resist this powerful blow.
However, the epic is called the pinnacle, and naturally it has its unrivaled power, and the gathered holy light was instantly torn apart, and a terrifying pillar of qi swept in.
"Let me answer you, you're not qualified enough!"
A shout overshadowed the rushing pillar of air, and a bladeless greatsword fell suddenly, inserting it in front of the punishment envoy, and the pillar of qi that easily tore through the holy light left only a shallow mark on the greatsword.
"You'll probably never know the power of the Seven Sages for the rest of your life, Van Gaulle. ”
The tall paladin stepped out of the Knights, his broad palm pulling out the bladeless sword that was stuck in the ground, and the red cloak shook everyone's hearts like the sun.
Sword of Light, Valdin.
Shield of Light, Frank.
The second epic hero of the Holy See set foot on the territory of the Betley Empire and challenged General Van Gaulle.
A high-level, an epic, thus began the prelude to this mortal war.
