Chapter 2: The Great Sword of War
The legendary Silver Wing King Capital Xingyu City is world-famous and dreamy.
Since its cornerstone was planted in the heart of the land a hundred years ago, attention has been drawn to the majestic walls and the majestic leaders of the "Shining Palace".
One day, we will reach the end of the world, where the air of the divine is full of the divine, and the noble gods call your name, and you just stretch out your hand, and the last trace of confusion has long faded from your eyes.
Because, the beautiful buildings that rise from the ground, as well as the 'Tianhe Knight Headquarters' and the 'Storm Mage Tower' that stand between heaven and earth, are not they just symbols of your proud honor?
The entire Star City stretches from one end of the field to the other, and all the nobles and people live happily together.
Until the end of time...
As soon as William's words fell, Pelorance nodded approvingly.
"It makes sense, in this kingdom known as the 'Shield of Justice', we still have to speed up."
"Oh, yes." He thought about it for a moment and lifted the reins of the war horse: "The reason why there is such a title comes from a war forty years ago..."
"In that war, many of the warriors' chests were torn apart by artillery fire, but in exchange for a brief peace in the western part of the continent."
"Oh? Let's hear it. William asked curiously.
"It was a long, long time ago, and in the heart of the Holy Wing Empire's rule, there was a mysterious organization called 'Hanu' dormant."
William looked up.
"Is it the notorious, all-in-one murderous organization from sixty years ago?"
Pelorance nodded.
William was slightly startled.
"Remember back then, they had caused a terrible disruption to the security of the Holy Wing..."
"Yes, at that time, on the edge of St. Newland, on average, more than a dozen villages were plundered every day, and the methods of these men were cruel and resolute, and they could not be separated from any evil atrocities imaginable."
"In addition, the crimes of selling people and trafficking resources, which are enough to make huge profits, have also brought them extremely considerable wealth."
"People are in a state of panic, and the papers of the north are mixed with the sweat of the heroes, and they fly like pieces of paper to the royal court in the center of the empire."
"By the time the Emperor's gaze had finally turned away from false peace and pleasure, they had gathered a large army through a long period of plunder and solicitation."
"They are known as the 'Hanu Wolf Legion,' and I heard that the cities of the empire have been attacked by them from time to time."
"However, through the investigation of the Mage Council and the Knights, the upper echelons of the Holy Wing have discovered that there is an even more powerful dark force behind them."
"An extremely mysterious magic that sustains the strong bodies and inexhaustible power of these thugs."
"To this end, the Holy Wing Emperor Arthur Pandria personally ascended to the top of the 'Altar of the Sun God', prayed to the great gods for God's blessings, and immediately mobilized a large army and set out for the heart of the 'Hanu Group'."
"It is often said that there is nothing in this world that the millions of heroes of the empire cannot solve."
"Sure enough, in the ensuing battle, the griffin knights' minions tore apart all resistance, and the lion banner of the Holy Wing Empire filled every tower and wall in the northern wilderness."
"However, at this moment, things suddenly took a bizarre turn."
"Under the manipulation of mysterious magic, a dark purple pillar of light soared into the sky, and its center was exactly the headquarters of the 'Hanu Group'."
"At that moment, all the subjects of the empire saw it, and the pillar of light shot straight into the sky, and under its envelope, the demon's whispers gradually rang out."
"The mages shed tears of holiness."
"We can't stop it, the western part of the continent is about to usher in a catastrophe."
"With a dazzling purple light, all the remaining Hanu soldiers suddenly disappeared, and then instantly transferred to the western wilderness thousands of miles away."
"It's the edge of the Silverwing Kingdom, and there are a few castles and villages scattered around, but they don't take precautions."
"The Hanu Legion soon conquered the area, and their leader immediately established himself as king and named his country the 'Kingdom of Khastan'."
"With more outlaws joining, they dispatched an army of half a million men and began to break through the defenses of the Silver Wing, advancing deeper and deeper into it."
"The short-sighted and no longer alert Silverwing royal family was instantly in a state of panic, and several of the several armies that were temporarily deployed were defeated before they could gather."
"Three months later, the Hastan Legion has finally arrived at the foot of Star City."
"In the face of all this, the people of the Silver Wings did not flinch, and they summoned up the courage to call on the rulers of the kingdom to restore their former glory and defend all that their country has to do with wisdom and strength."
"But even so, the fate of the kingdom began to scatter like a reed."
"However, at this moment, a miracle suddenly happened."
"Prince Karl, who has been away from his homeland for a long time, has returned from afar and has taken the scepter of fate from the old king."
"In the face of the immediate crisis, he made the right judgment."
"First of all, the situation of recruiting elite soldiers from among the people to go to the front line, and the unity of all people suddenly became clear from this moment."
"Immediately, the brave and resourceful King Karl secretly purged all dissident and unmotivated vassals, and at the same time, more than a thousand sturdy Pegasi were released, and their owners were the most powerful heroic warriors of the entire Silver Wing."
"Many elven mages have come from far east to save this kingdom and will continue to preach here."
"And in the depths of the royal capital, hundreds of rocket cannons symbolizing technology and destruction have also been pushed up the city walls with a bang, and their anger will spread throughout the sky like a dragon's breath."
"At the same time, the Hastan army also surrounded the Star City, and they also claimed to have built an impregnable 'forbidden wall of life'."
"Indeed, as they said, it was difficult for even a bird to enter Xingyu City at that time, but the final battle was still unfolded in an unprecedented way on the apocalyptic battlefield."
"Brilliant artillery fire fell from the sky into the pitch-black formation, the powerful power was difficult to resist, and when it bloomed, golden fireworks filled every corner of the battlefield."
"At the same time, under the cover of magic, the valiant Silverwing warriors rushed towards the array of the Hasta Legion, their blades swirling like meteors, and the shields in their hands constantly guarding the solid life."
"In the end, with the spread of more than a thousand Pegasi horses, Carl Lockdan's own body also underwent strange changes."
"His body was lit with golden aura, and the moment he took a step, he actually turned into a 'light'."
"Moreover, this is a never-before-seen, majestic light."
"His figure kept shuttling through the enemy formation, and the silver sword qi swayed freely like an aurora, until the sun set, and the whole battle finally ended with the collapse of the entire line of the Hastan Legion."
"As the King of the Silver Wing, Karl Lockedan was instrumental in this battle, single-handedly defeating more than 20,000 enemy warriors."
"A year later, the Saint-Wing Empire, which had been shocked for a long time, sent its own emissaries to bestow the honor of 'Sword of War' on King Karl, and the great epic myth began to be sung in the hearts of the people for a long time."
This battle completely suppressed the arrogance of the Hastan Kingdom, and then the Silverwing Kingdom ushered in the prosperity of "knighthood and magic". ”
"In the decades that followed, the kingdom regained almost all of its lost territory, but because of the mysterious magical power of the Holy Wing period, as well as the stubborn resistance of the Hastans themselves, the war was nearing its end, but it was not all over."
"This is the story of the 'Miracle War', after the battle, the entire Silverwing Kingdom was affectionately called the 'Shield of Justice' for the simple reason that they protected all the justice in the world like a shield that could not be broken."
"And the great sword of war, Carl Lokdan, also passed on his child Ethel twenty years later, so his specific whereabouts have also become a mystery."
Pelorance's gaze flowed with longing for thought.
"When you get to Star City, you'll be able to hear their stories often."
"Oh? One more point. As soon as he finished speaking, William stopped him.
"Recently, the two princes were buried in the fire, will they..."
"Is it a conspiracy that has been brewing for a long time?"
Pelorance came to his senses and couldn't help but grasp the saber at his waist.
