"The empire is sinking, and the sky is falling apart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"The Triumphant Capital, the capital of the empire that has a history of more than 2,500 years since the time of the kings and witnessed the rise and fall of two generations of empires, was completely buried at the bottom of the end of the sea with the final land sinking of the empire. ”

Gilbert's words of mercy even infected the guards on both sides, and Tails could clearly feel that their hands on the hilt of their swords were trembling slightly.

Gilbert pressed Tails' shoulder and looked at the young knight on the wall who was always roaring and charging, but it seemed like he would never be able to rush to the end.

Tails felt the weight of Gilbert's hand, and listened to the former foreign secretary speak silently, chanting a line from the Collected Poems of Cahill Yell:

"Heroes raise flags, kings hold spears, empires have fallen, and there is no light in heaven and earth. ”

"Ten years of blood and fire, victory and return, but can never go back to the homeland for which the original and endless battles have been fought, the imperial family is gone, and the nobles are all ink. Speaking of which, Gilbert was distracted:

"Tails, my little gentleman, can you imagine that feeling?"

Tails looked at the indomitable Tormond in a daze.

The young knight looked so brave and fearless, even in the tragic battlefield, he looked brilliant.

At that time, will he know that he will never be able to go back to his hometown?

Before Tails could reply, Gilbert sighed, "No, at least I can't." ”

Tails didn't speak, just a strange feeling in his heart.

"Panicked creatures, lonely where to go. ”

Tails calmly recited the last two lines of the poem.

Panicked creatures.

In his imagination, there was a magnificent and magnificent city, but it was slowly sinking, and everyone was running for their lives, shouting in a hurry, panicking, but they could only look at the sea powerlessly, drowning everything.

At this moment, Tails suddenly raised his head and asked with a heavy and slightly indignant look:

"What about those people?"

"Huh?" Steeped in the remembrance of the Revival King, Gilbert turned his head and looked at Tails in confusion.

I saw that Tails also looked at Gilbert, calmed down, and looked calm.

"It wasn't just the royal family and the nobility, it wasn't just the knights and soldiers - they were all participants in the war. ”

"But there are countless people who live in that land, farmers, merchants, old people, children," said the traverser in a calm tone, "all those who are not selectively involved in this war, regardless of whether they are high or low, high or low, or race." ”

"When the war was in time, when Lu sank, they were more innocent than disasters, more than emperors, nobles, and more innocent than anyone. ”

"But they are the meaning of the Empire's existence - have they not escaped?"

Gilbert stared at Tails, his eyes narrowing slightly, as if he had met Tails for the first time, and looked at him again.

"Just as your grandfather was to the people, Mr. Tails," Gilbert sighed, "you have a compassionate heart. ”

Sympathetic to the people?

Those who can use the word "compassion" probably have never put themselves in the same dimension as the "people".

As for compassion and charity?

The traverser shook his head silently in his heart.

But Gilbert immediately bowed his head, his eyes full of loss: "No, the whole world, in the end, the empire from the princes and nobles, down to the common people, all sunk into the sea. ”

"All that remains is Tormund and his army, proving that the final empire and even the ancient empire are not legends, they all once existed very really. ”

Tails lowered his head, closed his eyes, and exhaled softly.

At this moment, Gilbert's hand on Tails' shoulder suddenly slowly exerted force, and he spat out the following words word by word:

"And Prince Tomund at that time was just the most unfavored illegitimate child in the final imperial family. ”

Tails was shocked!

Tails jerked his head back and looked at Gilbert in disbelief.

He knew why Gilbert was saying this.

"Don't talk about titles, territories, possessions, he doesn't even have a family name to inherit, even the title of 'prince' is just a courtesy. ”

Gilbert looked at Tails with a determined gaze:

"He has nothing more than you are now, and the situation he faces is a hundred times more dangerous than yours. ”

Tails looked at Gilbert in a daze, and then at the bastard king on the wall.

Gilbert shook his head, put down the hand on Tails' shoulder, and continued:

"The battle of the end has been won, humanity and the entire civilized world are celebrating great victories, and the politics of the world are changing. ”

"In the East, Feng Wang Chenjian led the hopes of the Far Easterners to overthrow the old dynasty and establish the Suye Dynasty. ”

Ama Mimo Humble raised the banner and began to spread the fame of the Humpur dynasty among countless believers. ”

"In the West, the hero Necaju Aix, crowned king to the cheers of the multitude, gave birth to the mighty and proud kingdom of Exter. ”

"But compared to this......"

Gilbert looked at Master Colvin's painting with seriousness and pity:

"The final empire that inherited the glory of the empire lost all its land and people overnight, and only the last bloodline remained. ”

"Overnight, the originally insignificant illegitimate child became the only remaining supreme leader of the ceased empire. ”

"Neither land, nor people, nor supplies, nor wealth, Tormund had nothing, and except for the six knights around him, there were only two thousand lone troops left, and they walked in fear in a strange land, with no hope and a bleak future. ”

"At the age of twenty-four, he turned between many forces and lords, for even a little food, a little supply, a station, a batch of weapons, and used all means, from groveling to arguing, from clever words to clever grabbing, maintaining the independent survival of his subordinates and the last dignity of the empire. ”

"The lonely Prince of Tormond, who struggled day by day between war, intrigues, ambitions, and power, and struggled to survive between ridicule, mockery, exploitation, and malice, was already gray-haired at the age of twenty-six. ”

Gilbert folded his hands behind his back, his eyes full of reverence.

"'The final prince of the final empire' (the_final_prince_of_the_final_empire) - this is the ridicule and ridicule of the people of the two continents at that time. ”

Tails looked at the heroic prince steadily, and said nothing.

"Ten years on, their numbers are getting smaller and smaller, and their hopes are getting smaller and smaller. Finally, after a battle with heavy casualties, desperate subordinates hugged the corpses of their colleagues, surrounded the haggard-looking Prince Tormond, and wept and forced him to ask:

What is the point of continuing to struggle like this? The empire is gone, not an inch of land remains, they are like rootless wanderers, the embers of history, will eventually die out, leaving no trace. ”

"Why fight!"

"Why don't you just give up?"

Tails shook slightly, and looked at the prince, the ancestor's eyes were no longer the same.

When you have nothing, when everything no longer exists, what are you fighting for?

Gilbert looked at Tails' expression and sighed compassionately, but then showed a determined look and expression:

"Tails!" he called Tails by name for the first time, solemnly and without honorifics, "and you have to listen carefully to what is next." ”

"That night, in the face of the reproach of his subordinates, Tormund shed tears, untied his scarred armor, pointed to the stars in the sky, and recited his oath!"

At that moment, Tails saw the guards on both sides, they all stood up straight, their heads held high, and the sound of armor colliding suddenly came from the empty hall.

Only to hear Gilbert's face resolute and solemn tone, he spit out the words:

"If the stars are there, the empire lives forever. ”

（the_empire_shall_last，_so_long_as_the_stars_be.）

Tails took a deep breath.

Stars - Stars, if they are?

Empire - Tails pondered the meaning of this sentence - eternal?

The middle-aged arist's voice just fell.

The soldiers and guards in the entire hall all followed these words, pacing vigorously with their feet.

"Boom!"

Then, they all swung their fists in unison and slammed into the shield of the gold and silver nine-pointed star!

"Boom!"

The empty hall was suddenly filled with crisp echoes!

Tyers, who was shocked by history and was stunned, took a step back in fright.

"Tails!"

Before he could react, Gilbert suddenly crouched down, grabbed the traverser's shoulders with both hands, looked at him levelly, and said solemnly:

"Please don't underestimate yourself, your blood, and what they represent. ”

"The existence of you and the Bright Star is the golden age of mankind, the great ancient empire, the magnificent final empire, and the most powerful proof that it still exists in the world!"

At this point, Gilbert's eyes were already full of excitement, and his hands trembled, making Tails inexplicably panicked.

He continued to say loudly:

"On that day, the 10th year of the end calendar, September 27, is the day of the establishment of the Kingdom of the Stars. ”

"Prince Tomund, who swore by the stars, took the surname 'Bright Star' and became the founding king of the Kingdom of the stars, Tormund I. ”

"In the following decades, the Kingdom of Stars became the most powerful country in the Western Continent! ”

"The empire is reborn in the ashes, and in the name of the stars, the world is re-established!

"When it comes to Tormond Bright Star, no one remembers the 'ultimate prince' anymore. ”

"Only known as the 'King of Revival'"

Gilbert shook his mustache, and there seemed to be a flame burning in his eyes: "The motto of the Bright Star Family was born from this!"

Tails was a little unnatural.

Although he also lamented the story of Tormond.

But looking at the fanatical Gilbert in front of him, it was still difficult for him to fit into this emotion.

Is the existence of the stars just for the sake of the former empire?

This kind of founding spirit is wrong.

Something must be wrong.

However, looking at Gilbert's burning gaze and the noticeably heavier breathing of the guards on either side, he could only grit his teeth and nod heavily.

I saw Tails frowning, biting the words and spitting out the sentence:

"If the stars are there, the empire will live forever!"

At this moment, a coquettish rebuke full of anger came!

"Enough!"

Tails and Gilbert turned their heads in unison, only to see a grim Genie Buckway on the steps, looking at the pair of teachers and students with displeasure:

"It's time for dinner. ”

She said coldly.
