"Bill once said, 'When the soul of a hero finally sleeps in a peaceful cemetery, a magnificent century is over.'" ’”

William diverted the topic, his eyes glancing in the direction of Ai Suyan, intentionally or unintentionally, as if he had a slightly sour feeling.

"The sound of the wind in the silent night, like the whispers of demons from the other world, the galloping of horses across the vast wilderness, the sharp blades of the sword tearing through the sacred firmament like magic. The end of the war has not yet been seen, and the hero is gone. ”

He sighed, "Bill, who is no longer alive, once thought that such a statement was worthy of your grandfather Carl, and the successive guardians of the entire Silverwing Kingdom. ”

Ai Suyan raised his head, and there seemed to be a hint of incomprehension in his eyes.

"Bill, not alive?"

William couldn't help but hang his head and shake slightly, as if he still couldn't believe some sudden fact.

"Straight to the point. His voice trembled and stirred, "We are brothers, and ten years ago we walked hand in hand into the Land of the Silver Wings, and met your brother in a place called 'Pearl Village', who was not yet deceased. ”

"At that time, he was dressed in silver armor, bleeding blood, and galloping through the snow on horseback, and the snowflakes that stirred up obscured our vision like white mist, but could not hide the exhaustion caused by the fierce battles. ”

However, everything was completely forgotten by the god of fate in just a moment of passing by. ”

He never reappeared after that, and the warriors of the Empire never crossed paths with the descendants of the Sword of War. ”

Ai Suyan stared at William's remorseful face, and then asked lightly, "Then my brother may no longer be alive..."

William looked into his melancholy and empty azure eyes: "Yes, the children of the royal family who have lost their protection are like isolated birds and beasts, and you are the only miracle among them, you know, this world is cruel, especially for those who have nothing to do." ”

The prince's eyes widened suddenly: "My brother, he is not a person who has no strengths..."

William nodded: "Half a month ago, under the walls of the fortress city, the horn of death quietly sounded under the banner of war, and countless blood and lives... All the gentle faces who witnessed all this couldn't help but frown. ”

Essueyan was silent, thinking about the true face of the so-called 'Bill'.

In the midst of that battle, Bill, the knight, just waved his hand behind him, and then said goodbye to the beautiful world he had watched over for thirty years. ”

"And how did he die? with his bravery and ingenuity. Ai Suyan asked suspiciously.

William gasped sharply: "It's a duel... A duel took his life. ”

Ai Suyan's expression was still puzzled, but his gaze became more and more determined.

The knight patted his head and said, "At that time, the soldiers of the Silverwing Kingdom swept through the outskirts of the fortress like a silver wave, and the flying cannonballs fell on the walls of the fortress like a flaming meteorite, and the fragments cut people's skin, causing great pain, the sky changed color, the earthquake trembled, and everything was about to be destroyed on the crumbling foundation of the empire. ”

After some time, they erected siege towers and ladders, and fierce battles on the walls were imminent. ”

Ai Suyan listened intently, wanting to return to the world of that day in person.

"At this moment, the 'Imperial Blade' ascended to the top of the city, commanded the warriors, and began a counterattack against the enemy. ”

"On the ladder, the Silverwing Soldiers cling to each other like ants, and Bill, who raises his arms and shouts, has no fear in the face of the surging adversaries. ”

It wasn't until a mysterious enemy commander discovered what was happening, ordered his soldiers to retreat, and threatened to duel the leader of the Imperial Blade, that the fate of the battle was decided. ”

Ai Suyan was surprised: "Then did he refuse?"

William shook his head: "No, people of his character always don't know what to fear. At that time, a clearing was cleared on the city wall in an instant, and then the other party finally reported his real name: Commander of the front line of the Kingdom of Hastan: Morris. ”

"I still remember that I was furious at that time, Hastan, a group of dogs, relying on despicable means, dared to ignore the dignity of our army..."

Bill, however, was composed, and the enemy in front of him was clad in thick full-body plate armor, and the blade in his hand was extremely sharp, not inferior to the sword of any knight. ”

"And then, did he win?" asked Essouyan curiously.

"He's dead. William said sadly: "The sharp blade in the hand of the commander of Hastan pierced his chest, and the soldiers rescued him, but they were powerless to prevent the final extinguishing of the fire of his life." ”

Ai Suyan's face was full of regret: "It seems that there will be no more turnarounds." ”

William covered his head with his hand: "However, this guy Bill, who also knocked his opponent down from the city with the last blow, is said to have been unconscious and in danger after being rescued by the soldiers under the city. ”

"But the alliance of the two rivals has put tremendous pressure on our army's city defense. ”

"After the fall of the knights, our army tried their best to repel all the opponents, so that their legions once again withdrew to the territory of the Silver Wing, but it is known that there is some more powerful force hidden in the rear of the enemy. ”

Ai Suyan smiled slightly: "Thank you, noble warrior. ”

He then turned around and tried to leave the tent, but was stopped by William the Knight.

"You must, continue to be brave...", his eyes flashed, and Ai Suyan couldn't help but be stunned.

As he walked out of the tent, one of the guards approached with his head bowed.

"Hero, Marshal Tuyarav has something to summon, please come with me. ”

Ai Suyan nodded, and after a while, Tuyalaf's tent was opened, and the other party looked kind and solemn.

"You're a Silverwing, and you've left your homeland, so it's important for me to tell you about the composition of the warring sides before the battle begins. ”

Ai Suyan stared intently at the marshal's face, and the latter began a eloquent narration.

"Since none of the top special troops, battle mages, and imperial lords' special guards have joined the battle in the two countries, the scope of our discussion is limited to the general reserve army corps of the two countries. ”

"Do you want to know the basic composition of the Silverwing Kingdom's army? Quite simply, the 'Gui Cavalry Folk Foot' has always been a unified practice of all nations, and the spearmen, swords, shields, and archers composed of selected civilians constitute the most solid part of the vast battle array. ”

"And the best of them all, and the brave guys, will also be qualified to become 'knights' if necessary, but the number is scarce, and the opportunity is rare. ”

"So, what they want more is to be the core of the warband: the 'Glory Infantry Regiment' or the 'Kingdom Guard'. The better equipped they were, the more victories they had as warriors, the more reliable they were, and the better they were paid. ”

"But the vocation of the core infantry meant that if they failed, the kingdom's front would collapse in an instant. ”

"However, it is said that above them, the 'greatsword infantry' is even more powerful, armed with invincible 'greatswords' carefully crafted by human craftsmen, and clad in sturdy armor that is difficult to penetrate with bows and arrows, and every time they go to the front, they return laden with blood. ”

"As for the nobles, in addition to their occasional cameo appearance as archers composed of commoners, they are more often 'Field Knights' or 'Holy Guards', and both have an upgraded version in common: 'Greatsword Knights'. ”

"Leaving aside the 'Storm Mage Tower' and the 'Pegasus Knights', the Silverwing Kingdom had a million troops at its peak: 200,000 archers, 250,000 ordinary infantry, 100,000 Glory Infantry Regiments, 80,000 Kingdom Guards, 50,000 Greatsword Infantry, 220,000 Field Knights and Holy Guards, 30,000 Greatsword Knights, and nearly 500 giant cannons and trebuchets. ”

Tuyalav held his head with his fingers and looked at Prince Essouyan with a smile.

"So, what about the Holy Wings?" asked Essusan calmly.

The marshal patted his head: "Well, in fact, the most powerful force in the Imperial Army doesn't seem to be completely among the Standing Corps itself..."

Ai Suyan raised his head: "What do you mean?"

"Imperial griffin knights, royal knights, court musketeers... These armies belonged to the Pandrian royal family, that is, they were the emperor's private army, and even the parliament had no right to interfere. ”

"And among the vast rivers of the Holy Wing, there are many princely territories: such as the Cheetah Knights of the Findal family, the Condor Guard of the Gray Valley family, the Stag Legion, the Firethroat Guard... There are countless forces that defend the Holy Wing Empire on all sides. ”

"Moreover, it has long been heard that the real killing moves of the Holy Wing Empire are far more than these, according to legends, another force is quietly rising in the east of the empire, according to insiders, this has a lot to do with a kind of peak 'technology and magic', everything is in charge of the 'lion' Teague family, and the Academy of Sciences and the Mage Guild are at their disposal. ”

"Once these powers are unleashed, the entire Denario sky and land will probably be on the verge of extinction in an instant. ”

"The composition of the Standing Legion is roughly similar to that of the Silver Wing, except that the range of the Holy Wing's exclusive crossbowmen has been greatly increased, the artillery power is more magnificent, and most importantly, the 'Imperial Guards' are often all armed with greatswords, with no differences or differences in rank. ”

"Now that the war situation is about to break out, I don't believe that if you go to the top of the city, you will be able to see the enemy army pressing down on the border, which is why I want to summon you in advance. He said slowly, but did not pay attention to the turmoil in the prince's heart.
