Chapter 244: Former Fellows
For several days, the white eagle flew non-stop, passing the northwest branch of the Moonlight River, flying over the Great Dam, passing the fallen capital of Alex's Kingdom, the City of Honor, and then flying southwest until it skimmed over the Knights of Merit. So, a letter signed Silver Hunt was thrown down.
In fact, Silver had planned to hire a returning traveler to make this trip. However, he was worried that there were still people associated with Oraya in the Returnee Traveler Organization, so he sent a message through the White Eagle. There was no wind, and the letter fell directly into the open field where vegetation was rare.
Walker wanted to make a show, to jump off his horse, and catch the letter. As a result, Walker's mount was frightened by a snake, and after stumbling, he sent Walker straight forward, causing Walker to eat dirt.
Walker simply rolled over on the ground and lazily looked at the sun. Pulling the letter from under him, and opening it, Walker read, "Dear Lord Bard Evan, the Iron Poet, I pay your respects as the only son of the Hunter family......"
"Did he say that? Dear Bud...... Your Excellency......" Bard repeated Walker's words intermittently, and then looked at the departing White Eagle, "He thinks of himself as an eagle, he should be unruly, but he is so tactful?"
"My lord, Silver has imprisoned Gabriel and sent you such a letter. He's just nobody. Walker stood up and spat out.
"Nobody? Isn't that counted, he didn't forget to add honorifics in his letter...... You have to learn that. However, I don't recommend that you be like him. Bard tugged the reins, then waved back.
And just like that, the queue of the Knights of Merit stopped.
"This is the end of the Wild Plateau, and further north is the Knight's City. Are we going to just turn back like this?" Walker was a little unconvinced.
"Are you still thinking about the little witch in Flying Town? How much gold did you leave for that girl?" Bard asked, frowning, but not what he had thought.
It wasn't just the white eagle that delivered the message, but also a one-horned crow. Even though the crow escaped the eyes of Walker and other knights, Bard could see it clearly. Bard knew that the black crow was clever, so he didn't use magic to find out his identity.
"My lord, I kept a whole small bag, because I didn't worry about Cornelius. A person who stares at wine every day is sure to forget Luna's breakfast. And Luna is still young, and she's about to grow her body. Walker argued.
"Luna must be disappointed that Blue Star hasn't returned to Flying Town. Even, Booth is looking for the blue star. The other day, when we passed through Teal Town, Booth yelled so loudly that he was going to follow Glori," Bard laughed, "and Silver? He was looking for Blue Star before. I mean, before this letter arrives. ”
"But Blue Star is already one of our members, shouldn't Booth follow us?" Walker complained a little, "We need more helpers to fight against the Dragon Empire." ”
"Speaking of which, didn't Silver just invite us there? They can't deal with Lil Mayne. Bard explained.
"You can't deal with Mayne, sir, you must not think so, do you?" Walker didn't want to use his brain, but he couldn't use it against the orderly soldiers of Knight's City.
"That's no ordinary white eagle, his claws and teeth are sharp. Bard twisted the horse's head, facing south.
In the distance, to the southwest, is the straight Horn Mountain.
In his youth, Bard often went to Horn Mountain to climb, and was accompanied by Kyle. He teaches Kyle how to control himself on the mountain, which is ironic for now, as Kyle has become an enemy of Alex's kingdom.
As he climbed Horn Mountain, Kyle not only argued with Bard, but also went on to reach the top of the mountain in just one hour. Kyle looked down at Bud just over halfway up the hill from the top of the mountain, and the look in his eyes scared Bud - cold, but resolute. It's just that this kind of look actually makes Bard, who has survived the brutal war, stand cold. From then on, he knew Kyle was going to do something terrible.
Silver or Kyle, who is better? Bard knew very well.
Bard was almost always in the City of Honor, with little contact with the Hunter family, especially young Silver. But he knew what Silver's father, Ralph Hunt, was, because King Velen always spoke of Ralph - Ralph had similar aspirations to Velon, hoping that there would be no more poverty in the world.
Silver was supposed to be like Ralph, upright and kind, willing to do good. However, Ralph died in King Velon's plan to unify the Terran kingdoms. Young Silver witnessed all this, and the hatred and grief of losing his father made Silver lost.
Originally, Bard asked about the disposition of the Hunter family from Veron, and met with young Silver once. He thought about helping the Hunter family raise their offspring. Later, when he arrived at Hunter's house, Silver had already been picked up, and Hunt's property had been sold.
That was the last time Bard saw Silver. Silver's eyes were just as hateful as Kyle's. Despite this, young Silver was not buried by the pain.
Over time, Silver and Kyle rose to prominence. Kyle resisted the invasion of the Remnant Moon and became the head of the Templars, and when the Moonless Demon and Kaida protected Coral Harbor from the Remnant Moon Pirates, Silver contributed a large sum of money to the merchants. The egg hurts
Kyle and Silver are excellent and have gone their separate ways. Sadly, one became a traitor to the Terrans, and the other became a man to seize the Revival Corps.
Bud once swung his sword alongside Kyle, who was close at hand. What about Silver, even though Silver was far away in the Mochizuki Plains, he was on the same side as Bard, and he wanted to maintain the peace of the kingdom and ensure a normal life.
"I can't draw conclusions, let alone compare them against each other. Bud said.
Walker was confused. However, he saw that Bard looked confused.
"I mean, what kind of kindness does Silver have to do with him, and Her Highness is right next to him, but he's so coaxed that his mind reading can't be of any use," Bard pondered, "and if we do what he planned, what is he up to?"
"Wait, my lord, let me think. I'm starting to think about it. Walker looked at where Bud had just looked, but found nothing. And what appeared in his eyes was either the blue sky or the white eagle flying southeast.
But, in Bard's eyes, the eagle was always followed by crows.
Bard smiled and waited for Walker to figure it out. "What the hell is Silver doing?" Bard pondered. He found a layer of fog disorienting him and couldn't find an exit.
That day, while Kyle ordered the orderly soldiers to attack the City of Honor, Bard was forcibly dragged into a wagon by the remaining men and evacuated. One thing he couldn't forget was hearing about Kyle's order to Thorne, who ordered Thorne to slaughter the city in order to shock people. But Silver, on the contrary, he had the courage to resist.
After the fall of Honor, Silver led his retainers to defend Moonshine Town. However, Silver eventually gave up, and they were no match for the Order Legion. Therefore, when faced with the encroachment of his homeland, Silver showed his strong faith.
Thinking of this, Bard still wanted to believe Silver. At the very least, Silver was the same as all the people who loved Alex's kingdom when it came to the encroachment of Order.
"Does Silver want the City of Miracles, just like he did when he captured Gabriel, to catch us?" asked Walker.
"The City of Miracles? Does he want the city? The place where the God of Light and the God of Order are at a decisive battle, maybe there really is some clue to the miracles. Walker, you may be right. In the face of Walker's reminder, Bard couldn't help but doubt Silver again, and sighed.
"My lord, if you meet Mayne again, will you be able to defeat him?" Walker asked in a low voice. He knew that in the last battle of Idol City, Lord Bard didn't take advantage.
"Defeat the Divine Knights, I'm afraid this kind of thing is an even more difficult thing for Alex's people. At least, Mayne's power isn't just what it appears in Idol City. Now, who among us can defeat him?" Bard began to worry.
If they attack Miracle City, who will be able to defeat Mayne? Mayne's apprentice? However, the news that Blue Star has been guillotined has spread. Even if Glori went to face Mayne, he wouldn't be an opponent, and Bard was sure of it.
Now, Bard has long heard about the situation in the Mochizuki Plains - embattled is the situation faced by Evan the lord of Mochizuki City.
However, Bard just didn't figure it out. How did Kyle and Silver, two people who would be of great help to the kingdom, become the way they are now? Kyle, for example, a man who is willing to work hard for the kingdom has become a traitor. And Silver, a man who had fought when the Mochizuki Plains had fallen, would have sought the power of Legion Commander for the good of his family.
Bard had no choice but to blame fate for all this.
It would have been a good thing to attack the Knights' City, allowing the Orderly Legion to return north. In this way, the burden on the Mochizuki Plains will be lighter. With any luck, Evan might be able to come up with a plan to reclaim all that Oraya had lost from Silver before the forces of the Emerald City crossed the Moonlight River.
However, for Evan...... When the news of the Blue Star came, Bard was already disappointed, just as he was for Kyle and Silver. Moreover, Bard no longer wants to have anything to do with Evan.
Remembering that he was a citizen of Alex's kingdom, Bard rode back to the south of the procession and pointed to Noah's jungle to the southeast.
"You can't give up the Mochizuki Plains. Bud said. If the Mochizuki Plain is invaded by Order, what will happen to these people?
"My lord, if we attack the City of Miracles, then we must let Evan give an explanation, otherwise the unhappiness in my hearts and that of these brothers will not be released. Is the blue star just gone?" Walker said sadly.
"Your Majesty Veron, hope is being born one after another, but one after another is gone. What else can I do as the head of the Honored Order?" Bard said sadly, "and the former colleagues are now far away. ”
