"My name is Legion."

In ancient times, there were people who were possessed by demons, and he believed that many people lived in their bodies, became one with themselves, and became strong because of them. When asked his name, he said, "My name is Legion because we are numerous. ”

In the blink of an eye, seven months have passed in a hurry.

For seven months, I spent most of the time in Eastern Wikia, figuring out everything I had in Wikia, and I knew I wouldn't be back for a long time.

In Riverland, with the help of the pioneers, I was able to sell some of Giovanni's estates, including an estate, a vineyard, two mills, and a tavern, for a small sum of money. Yuri shook his head when he learned about this, he felt that my decision was too hasty, and that I could wait for a while before selling. Since I sold them for only one-third of the value of the properties, I offered to buy them from Little East Lake City, and Yuri just laughed and said that Little East Lake City couldn't afford the money at the moment. I could only shrug my shoulders and owe my name on the deed given to me by the pioneers, transferring the Valan's inheritance.

More and more Valans came to join me in Little East Lake, and several Varans came by boat every week, and after finding my place to live in the inner city, I arranged for them to live in the city. I rented the house of a monk who was said to be possessed by the devil. The house is located in the middle of nowhere, in spring and autumn. The ground will become damp due to the rise and fall of the tide in East Lake, and the house will be filled with damp ** smell. But I didn't pay for it to be repaired. Rather, it keeps it intact. The house was told to me by Ana Sitasia that the story of the house was a lie made by the Rurik family. Rurik wanted people to stay out of it--- its basement connected to the catacombs of the old city, and some underground passages that even Rurik didn't know about, leading to all corners of the city.

After purchasing the house, Copernicus and I went down with torches to investigate, and inside I found Rurik's family, who had taken refuge in the city when it was broken. The Rurik took refuge in panic, but never went out, and lived underground for two whole months, until the supplies on the surface were completely cut off--- and the faithful servants and patrons abandoned them, leaving the Rurik family to die. Most of these Ruriks died by stabbing each other in the throats with daggers. Only a very small number starved to death. There were richly dressed noblewomen, boyars in full armor, and scholars with beards and breasts, all of whom had been dressed in their own costumes when they died, and now they were completely rotten, and the stench of corpses made this place as terrible as hell.

After that, our main event locations are here.

I asked the Pioneer to carry a letter to Giovanni, who was already in Creel, in the hope that he would send an officer he could trust to help me, and in return I mortgaged my noble sword and banner. Only two flags were left around. Three and a half months after my letter was sent, the Pioneers' boat brought me six Valan warriors. All six of these Valan warriors took part in the breakout outside Valankov, and I could name a few of them. One of them I didn't know well, but I knew him: when the Valan regiment in Kalinin attacked us. The diminutive Valanist nimbly sliced a large man's belly with a dagger, eventually killing the Valan.

The newcomers, the Valans, immediately made it their camp, and they allocated rooms. It is located in two rooms on the first floor.

Surprisingly, Elon, a Kujiit, also survived the plague. Return safely. Elon's face was ruined and covered in scars. Crusedel was only sad at first. It didn't take long to mock Elon for being a sore face. Although Elon is still alive before his illness, he likes to spend more and more time alone, and sometimes he is even reluctant to talk to Crusedle.

On the longest day of summer, the city is baked by the scorching sun like a glittering stone mirror, reflecting heat and white light against the sky.

On this day, a shrine maiden entered the city gates.

This is Bella.

The shrine maiden was besieged by the townspeople, who tried to expel her, but a group of pioneers quickly picked up Bella and brought her to my residence.

She had just finished her travels in the Kugit steppes and Creel, bringing back fourteen Kugit herbal recipes and thirty-six pounds of gold. The gold was found in the steppe when I parted ways with Bella, and I told her to dig it up. On my way to collect food with the black squad, the black leader buried two corpses. I felt that the weight of the two bodies was a bit problematic at the time, until I was inspired by the fact that Anastasia was hiding in my box, and I suspected that the negro was using the two bodies as a container for transporting gold. I told Bella to dig it up and see what was inside the body. Bella was the least afraid of corpses, and one of the bravest women I have ever met, and it was far more reliable to entrust her with such a thing than to most men. At the same time, I told Bella that there must be something strange inside an abandoned mine shaft in Creel. At that time, the Nords were in a hurry to go down the well, apparently because there was something buried underneath the well, and if they could, they would go and investigate.

Bella managed to find the burial site near the cannibal hotel, and it is said that when she exhumed the two bodies in the middle of the night, she barely had to cut open the belly of the corpses, because the bodies were already decomposing.

"Precious stones, rings, gold coins, gold crowns, lots and lots of Crelian jewelry," said Bella, "stuffed the bellies of these two men." I sold them all to the pioneers. ”

"Where's the mine?" I asked her.

"It's too late." "Jill's advance team has taken over the mine, and it is now all around Jill's militias. ”

"The militia?"

"Yes." Bella said, "Starting with the city of Yuric, Jill is in every city occupied. have established a parliament of allies. He followed the example of the Zen people and established many councils of allied cities. Half of it were Nord merchants, and the other half were foreign adventurers and local merchants he supported. Funded by local merchants. Creelic militias were formed in various places to help the Chanda Alliance consolidate its rule in Creel, allowing the Chanda people to attack Creelian cities that were still resisting without having to scatter their soldiers. ”

"What about Giovanni's Valans?"

"What Valans?" Bella asked curiously, "I didn't hear of them when I was in Creel. ”

According to the newly arrived Varan soldiers, Giovanni, with the help of the pioneers, had recovered five hundred soldiers and captured a mountain city. It seems that Giovanni has not yet been able to move out of the Creel Mountains to attack the rich and weak cities of the plains. As for the pioneers' side. The coalition they financed attempted to attack the harbor of Salander, but was routed by the elite Salander navy, losing some of its forces and retreating to its original camp. The Salanders seem to be approaching Gil in exchange for Kriel's neutrality, and if this is true, the Pioneers' biggest investment in recent years will go down the drain. At the same time, the Pioneers will become notorious in all nations for interfering in the internal struggles of a kingdom.

As for the slave revolt in northern Creel. Béla said that after the Creelians were organized, they cooperated with the Nords to attack the north many times, inflicting heavy losses on several black rebel armies. Creelians had an extraordinary dislike for black slaves. They never kept black slave captives, and Bella saw the bodies of black men with their heads cut off or hanged from trees. The chest was engraved with the words 'freedom' by the Creelians.

Bella was very tired after answering many of my questions.

I ended up asking her a question. "Is there a Creelic woman's body around these two bodies? Or the grave? ”

Not sure why. The figure of Aunt Asri resolutely leaving with leggings always appeared in front of my eyes. At first, I really wanted Bella to tell me that there were no bodies after digging up the ground, which meant that Aunt Asri had fulfilled her wish.

"A woman's corpse?" Bella thought for a moment, "No. There were only patches of men's corpses. In the vicinity of Ulric City, many of the slaughtered were dumped around the salt works, and I saw hyenas gnawing on corpses everywhere, wondering how Creel could have hyenas, which was really strange. It was terrible there, I don't want to think about it anymore, the blacks, the Crels, the Salanders, the corpses were piled up in a mountain, and after the Nord soldiers slaughtered the inhabitants of Yurik City, almost everyone needed to change their swords and scimitars, because their weapons had killed so many citizens that the edges of their knives had become dull. With each city captured, the Nords almost killed half of the Creelians'''" Bella sighed, gave me a hug, and put her face on my cheek, tears welling up in her eyes, "The world is not what it was when you were a father for a long time. ”

Copernicus helped Bella upstairs to a fairly clean bedroom to rest.

For the next few days, Bella locked herself in the façade of the house to prepare various potions, while Elon assisted Bella on the side, helping her cut herbs and clean up the garbage. Elon is fond of Bella because Bella is the only one who doesn't laugh at Elon's face, saying that inside Elon's body "stands a fighting sheep with horns that hurt people, but only bows its head and eats grass".

During this time, Copernicus warned me more than once that the path I had chosen was very dangerous, that I was simply not able to compete with the Svadian royal family on my own, and that I should choose a more stable path.

For nearly half a year, I was happiest when I came back from the Riverlands.

In Riverlands, I witnessed a Berkish cavalry crushing an armed Vickyan farmer, and as I quietly fled, I was pursued by a group of Berkish cavalry for two whole days. After escaping into Gregory's castle, I developed a high fever and was sent back to the city of Little East Lake by ship. When I returned to Little East Lake, Mycera would occasionally come to see me.

My room faces the East Lake, and the doctor said that the place where I can smell the moisture of the lake water will help my body recover. Every day, I would see the merchant ships of Little East Lake City sail out of the port, form a group a few miles offshore, and then disappear into the vast expanse of East Lake. Mycella would go out for a stroll in the mornings and occasionally come to see me in the afternoon. She would always buy me the first interesting thing she saw, and my bedside was soon piled up with what she sent: a bag of sugar, a Vicchia dolls, a Salander curved dagger, briquettes, Creelic silk, a woman's headscarf.

By the first week of my life, my body was already healed. But I went for another week and almost got a sore on my back. That doctor hated me so much. Because the longer he is treated, the more money he gets. Yuri just told him to heal me, so he wanted me to get out of here as soon as possible. But what the doctor didn't know was that it was easy for Micella to come to see me, but it was difficult for me to run to her. Yuri was a little better when he went to Varankov, and he was very loose with Mycella, but even so, he would arrange for a lot of people to watch Mycera, focusing on me.

On the evening of the day I finally left the lake house, Mycera slipped out. Join me for a walk by the lake in Xiaodonghu City.

The heat wave during the day has subsided with the sound of the tide in East Lake, and only a cool wind blows from East Lake. The flowers are fragrant and the trees are in the shadows. The occasional sound of trumpets makes the evening even softer, and the tide on the lake's edge turns dark red with the setting sun, and the sparkling surface of the lake resembles a city of a thousand domes looming in the Salander Desert. The stone path by the lake was always short, and I had already reached the end of it before I could finish listening to her. She sighed and said that another cousin had married, and her eyes were swollen from crying before she left, and she did not receive her father's pity. but was slapped in the face. She said that every girl in the Romanov family would probably be the same fate as Kaja, marrying someone she had never met and who would not know where to spend her life in a gloomy castle.

"Misetla."

"Huh?"

"Maybe I should write to your father."

She didn't answer me.

At that time, we walked side by side through the market in the outer city. As night fell, the market was lit up with Salander lanterns, which dimly illuminated the clean stone bricks of the ground. Magnificent red clouds were sinking into the endless night from the top of the ornate building, and the girl I liked smiled at me. Ran lightly into the distance.

She ran to a stall and bought two silver noodles. Handed me one.

"Now, when a Zen master wears a silver face, he is absolutely not allowed to lie."

"Yes."

The last rays of the daylight dissipated, and we were shrouded in the dim light of a Salander lantern, with someone playing a mournful kugit dombra in the distance.

She took a breath, "Did you leave the Romanov family to marry me?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, should I lie to her? Deception will make a girl happy, but respect will make a girl happy in the end.

"No, Mycella. I left the Romanovs not for this reason. ”

A clown beats a brisk drum, followed by a troupe of jugglers, and the jubilant circus has paraded from Ivangelrod to Little East Lake. As their long queue walked past us, Mycella slowly lowered her silver face and handed it to me.

"Aren't you playing?"

She snorted, "Childish game, who likes to play." ”

I escorted her back to the inner city, and she walked inside without saying a word.

A servant of the Romanovs came out and asked me if he would arrange a carriage for me to take me back to the outer city, and I told him no, and then turned around and left.

Mycella was angry with me for a while. But when I had traveled around Valankov and had not seen her for a long time, she resumed her association with me, and often came out for walks with me, went to the market to buy some strange things, and when night fell we would take the longest route back to the inner city.

There was a big shift in Yuri's attitude, which seemed to be the help of Copernicus. On one occasion Mysella said that Yuri had arranged for her to meet the heir of Chud City, and she complimented me on the nobleman's maturity, politeness, and thoughtfulness. I couldn't help but sarcastically mock the nobleman of Chude City, I said that he was nearly thirty years old, but he would only go back to care for the teenage girl, it can be seen that when he was a teenager, he must not have found a woman, or he grew up messing around, and as a result, he has not started a family until now. Mycella grimaced and said I was stingy, like a little girl. When I got home, I told Copernicus about it, and I said that I was not qualified to propose marriage in the next few years, and I was worried that Miccella would be married. Copernicus thought about it for a moment and said he could help.

"How can you help?" I don't believe Copernicus could convince Yuri.

"Well, I'll write a letter to Prince Yuri about your family, maybe Yuri will change his mind."

"My family? The Baronial Family? "I rolled my eyes at Copernicus." No matter how honorable a baron is, he can't compare to a despicable prince. Besides, I'm already a boyar. I don't need my family anymore. ”

"Maybe Yuri really likes the House of Honorable Barons?" Copernicus said mildly, "Prince? Ha. ”

Copernicus though he always stressed that he had no prejudice against various peoples. But here, he apparently thinks that a prince of Vecchia is no better than a baron of Swadia. I don't even want him to write a letter anymore, because it will humiliate me and my family.

Unexpectedly, the day after Copernicus finished writing the letter, Yuri and Kalinin invited me to a family dinner, and at the same time, he told me to my face that since Mycera did not want to meet the old princely families, he would not arrange it from now on. I was confused about that dinner. It is not known what Copernicus wrote in the letter.

In the time that followed, Mycella also changed, and she would sometimes whisper to me that his father had given me permission to go to the inner city to find her, and to ask me what I had done.

I can only confess that I didn't do anything.

Back home, I asked Copernicus, "What did you say?" ”

"Your family, a piece of history."

"Impossible."

"I rarely lie." Copernicus did not turn his head to look at me at all, but studied a book with a round piece of glass of a Salander. "Timmy, if you have any worries, you can put them away now. I promise, before you get married. Even if Mycella becomes an old girl, Yuri will not arrange a marriage for her at will. ”

Crucedel guessed that Copernicus had fabricated in the letter that Mycella and I had secretly tasted the forbidden fruit, saying that Mycella was pregnant with a child. That's why Yuri didn't dare to make a mistake.

At this time, I can only think of this reasonable explanation. "Copernicus! You shouldn't engage in this kind of conspiracy! ”

Copernicus put down his lenses and book and stood up with his back to the candle. His figure was as tall as a samurai in the light of the fire.

"Timmy," said Copernicus, "love is like war, and there is no conspiracy that is not noble." ”

Although I have some disdain for Copernicus's approach, I have always believed that war and politics, it is okay to join the conspiracy, but the intrigue of love will make it mature faster, but quickly**.

Later, as the time for me to agree with Anastasia and Bishop Oleg was getting closer and closer, I wrote to them informing them that I would soon be on the trip, and at the same time, I accelerated the collection of funds --- asked for help from everyone.

Copernicus' wife lobbied the pioneers' bank to give me a loan. When we first sought a bank loan from the Nords, we were denied, preferring to support the more rewarding Jill.

Eventually, with the guarantee of Bishop Oleg, the pioneers agreed to give me a loan of 7,000 large Swadia gold coins, about two hundred and six pounds of gold. However, I did not get the money, and the money will be transferred directly to the church to pay off the eastern church to the pioneers. In return, with the compensation of Bishop Oleg, I was given ninety neat sets of Valan armor, ninety-four swords, thirty-nine horses, and twelve flags, in addition to two boatloads of grain. The rest of the money is enough for me to pay for a team of 60 to 70 people for two and a half years. The Pioneers' debts, which I will pay over the next nineteen years, are two hundred and seventy pounds of gold, which I can pay to the Pioneers' trading posts in any country, only in the finest gold coins, not in amber coins mixed with gold and silver.

Over the course of three days, the pioneers signed many copies of the deed for me, and kept a few copies. My guarantors are the Copernicus and his wife, sometimes Bishop Oleg, and if I am unable to repay, the pioneers will then confiscate all their possessions in Swadia and Vekia and put them up for auction.

In addition, Captain Lily and Cesara presented me with thirty pounds of gold and sent two ships to transport me and my men, at the expense of the couple. The wife of the Copernicus scholar sold part of their property in Rhodoc and Swadia, including two villas and a cloth shop, and prepared for me forty-nine pounds of gold. After meeting with me, Kalinin offered to support some of my soldiers, but I refused, and in the end he gave me nineteen horses and fifty spears, as well as more than a hundred sets of military clothing, including linen tunics, boots, and coats of arms. Kalinin's generosity was hard for a moment for me to get used to.

Copernicus continued to warn me to be cautious. Because if you are not careful, you will fall into a situation of death.

Revenge would have been the most dangerous thing in the world. Even in the face of a butcher, it can lead to death. How much more so in the face of the emperor? If I'm afraid, I'll go straight to the monastery. So my warnings to Copernicus were always perfunctory, and I had my own arrangements.

One autumn evening, I said goodbye to Mycella one last time and told her that I might be leaving East Vecchia.

For nearly half an hour, Mycella held my hand and wept, until she was finally helped in by a Romanov brother.

Watch the iron gates of the inner city slowly close. I was so sad that I didn't even know if I would ever see my girl again.

She was still crying, and I turned around and left, I didn't want to delay any longer, I was afraid that I would be too weak to go back to the west and take my responsibilities.

"Victor!" She called out to me behind me.

I slowly turned around.

She looked at me and raised her hand, palm facing me, "Darth Vidania." ”

It is the most formal farewell language of her hometown.

I felt a heat in my chest. He nodded to her, raised his hand as well, and put his palm towards her, closing his hands together across the air with her. "Darth Vidania."

Tonight, I will gather all my soldiers, in the name of the boyars. Take them into a new world.

When I got back to my little room, I didn't say a word. Looking at the empty room in a daze, all the furniture here has been sold.

Then. I entered the basement where I was greeted by well-armored Kugits at the bottom of the stairs, and they walked up behind me and followed me into the tunnel.

There are no corpses left in the tunnels, and they echo empty when you walk through them. The surrounding tombs display the once vivid life of Xiaodonghu City, and now, they have been reduced to rotten bones here.

It will be my destiny to be reborn in the land of the dead and become a bird of vengeance.

A bright red flame ignited in the center of the Great Catacomb.

Copernicus looked at the fireworks and fell into deep thought, and I could feel the heat of the flames from afar.

I walked over to the edge of the flames, "Bachelor." ”

He nodded wearily.

I stood on a stone platform and stretched out my right hand, and Krusedel handed me the ancient battle flag that Valankov had found.

This battle flag will be my dagger of revenge.

Facing the empty tomb, I told a piece of history to the dry bones of the dead, as if it were the time of Zenda, and I was speaking to a crowd of people.

"In ancient times, the Valans used to say to Emperor Chanda, 'When Your Majesty needs it, there will be 10,000 villages to serve you.'"

"The era of Zenda is over, but the memory of heroes does not end with it. What has become of the Valans today? Are you a pig farmer or a bird catcher? Are you blacksmiths or carpenters? Are you a farmer, or a cook? How dare you say that you are the descendants of the Valans, how dare you say that you are the descendants of heroes, how dare you say that you have been blessed by the goddess Valkyrie, how dare you say that you are the descendants of the Valanic warriors? ”

"Do you remember this flag? The Valans used to have only swords and swords, the Valans used to have only shields and boats, and the Valans once died on the battlefield instead of in their nests! With their great exploits, they won the respect of Emperor Chanda! ”

"When your time comes, will you grow old willingly? If you may have any more honor, are you willing to be forever despisedly called the Barbarian of Valan? ”

"I never promised you money, nor did I promise you beautiful women, I didn't promise you a warm nest, nor did I promise you a bright future!"

"I promise you that you will win greater honor than you! You will once again make the name of the Valans resounding throughout the world! ”

"God praise that we still have an emperor. But who are the people around the emperor? How can such a man, the son of a tax collector, the nephew of a moneylender, the brother of a weak burgher, how can such a man protect the only master of the sky and the earth, how can he glorify the only majesty from the coast to the desert, how can he take over the duty of protecting the emperor from the Valans? ”

"If there is a guard in the world that belongs only to His Majesty, it is the guard of our Valans!"

"The Church has blessed this banner, and today we will witness the rebirth of an ancient legion in the cemetery!"

"Valan Royal Guard!"

"Follow me, warriors of Valan!"

From the dark shadows of the tomb, one by one, the brightly armored Valan warriors came out, these are my soldiers, they will join the Valan Royal Guard, join my legion. The armor shone brightly, the fire scorched, and the armor of the Valans was like a forest of steel burning with flames. Each of them has the Emperor's eagle banner on their helmets, and each of them has a shield painted with the pattern of the ancient Valan Royal Guard, and the battle flag of the Valan Legion handed down from ancient times is in my hand!

I am a demon and I will take them with me on my quest for revenge.

I am the captain of the Valan Royal Guard, and I will owe allegiance to a Emperor Majesty.

The soldiers of the Valan Guard continued to emerge from the darkness, and they watched me in silence like vengeful birds in hell struggling to get back to earth.

"There is only one Emperor in the world, and he lives in the distant and rich city of Parabun, Swadia!"

"We will be his closest companions, and the letter of my allegiance has reached His Majesty's desk, His Majesty is overjoyed, and the nobles of Svadia are already eagerly waiting for our arrival!"

"We are the warriors of His Majesty the Emperor, just as our great ancestors were the warriors of His Majesty Chanda!"

"The Valan Royal Guard has been resurrected! The Valan Legion is resurrected! ”

"Am I weak!"

I stabbed the banner into the ground at my feet, the eagle banner of the ancient Valan royal guard, swaying above my head.

"No, be my brother and make me strong. From this day on, the only person I will survive is the captain of the Valan Royal Guard, and all my honor comes from all of you in the Legion, and I will share my glory and disgrace with you, live and die together, and swear to defend our only emperor to the death, and serve him allegially! I declared to my soldiers, "My name is the Legion!" Because there are so many of us! Long live His Majesty the great Emperor Haraus! ”

"Long live His Majesty the Great Emperor Haraus!" "Long live His Majesty the Great Emperor Haraus!" "Long live His Majesty the Great Emperor Haraus!"

Lead my soldiers, form the Valan Royal Guard, restore the glory of antiquity, and travel to Paravon to pay allegiance to His Majesty Harlaus.

This is my path of revenge.

General Wright, Your Majesty Haraus, and the Svadian nobles whose hands are stained with the blood of my relatives, I am coming towards you.

"Hooray!" The soldiers of the Valan Guard shouted.

"Long live the Valan Royal Guard!"

All the soldiers gathered around the firelight and began to shout together.

"Long live the Valan Guard!" "Long live the Valan Guard!" "Long live the Valan Guard!" (To be continued.) )
