Xia De waved to the guards beside him:
"Give me the flowers."
As soon as Xia De finished speaking, the guards hurriedly handed the bunches of flowers in their hands to Xia De.
"Ervin, you guys are waiting here."
After saying that, Xia De walked into the Royal Cemetery with these flowers without looking back.
The Royal Cemetery is quite quiet.
At this moment, except Xia De, there was no one else in the Royal Cemetery.
Some dead branches and leaves fell on the bricks and stone floor made of marble.
Covering above Xia De’s head are the dense leaves of sycamore trees.
The sun droops slightly to the west, and today's weather is a little dry. The dense bushes of sycamore trees offer a cool funeral to the dead branches and leaves on the brick and stone floors.
Click.
Without a reason to avoid it, Xia De walked forward on the corpse of fallen leaves and dead branches.
The sound of dry bones shattering became the only sound in the Royal Cemetery at this time.
Soon, Xia De walked to the tombstone of the ancestors of all dynasties.
His father, his grandfather, and his ancestors were buried here.
Xia De respectfully presented flowers to each tombstone.
"Father……"
Xia De put the last bouquet of flowers in his hand in front of the tomb of the late emperor, that is, his father.
My father is now sleeping in the land under his feet.
A short line of epitaphs was engraved on Xia De's father's tombstone:
[My descendants, remember the "Shame of 203" and destroy the Britannian Empire.]
"The Shame of 203" - a major event that occurred in the 203rd year of the Frank Empire's imperial calendar, is the famous national humiliation of the Frank Empire.
In 203, the Frank Empire's Imperial Calendar - this year, all the states of the Frank Empire were captured by the Britannian Empire.
In the history of the Britannian Empire, there were two periods of unprecedented military strength.
The first period was when the Britannian Empire was just established and the first emperor ruled.
The second period was the reign of the sixth emperor of the Britannian Empire.
When the sixth emperor of the Britannian Empire was reigned, the empire's military strength was unprecedentedly strong. At that time, there were two unified knights in the army at the same time - the 7th unified knight and the 8th unified knight.
The Britannian Empire has always regarded its neighbor to the east, the Frank Empire, as its great threat.
In order to solve this great threat, the emperors of the Britannian Empire came up with various methods.
There are peaceful methods, there are rough methods...
The powerful military strength of the empire gave the 6th emperor of the Britannian Empire full of confidence. He decided to use the roughest method to solve the neighbors in the East - send troops directly to conquer.
The Frank Empire was at a low point in its national strength at that time.
Under the joint attack of two united knights, the Frankish Empire's army retreated step by step and was unable to resist the attack of the Britannian army.
The Britannian army captured the capital of the Frank Empire with an unstoppable momentum.
The Frank Empire was the nations of [Yanordorf] at that time.
After capturing the capital of the Frank Empire, the Britannian army launched an inhumane plunder and massacre of Yanordov.
The Frank Empire was also forced to move its capital, moving its capital to [Berlu].
Because the supply could not keep up, after capturing the "former capital" of the Frank Empire, Yanordorf, the Britannian Empire terminated the offensive.
In this battle, the Britannian army was a complete victory.
Not only did it annihilate a large number of Frank troops, but it also swallowed up all the land west of Yanordorf, turning the Rhine into an inland river of the Britannian Empire for the first time.
However, what no one at that time expected was that the Frank Empire took only five years to take back all the land they lost.
The capital was lost, and the capital was tragically ravaged by the enemy - it is conceivable how shameful the monarchs and ministers of the Frank Empire felt at that time.
At that time, the emperor of the Frank Empire named this great defeat "The Shame of 203". In order to cleanse this shame, the emperors, civil officials and military officers of the Frank Empire were unprecedentedly united.
Everyone has only one belief - avenge the Britannian Empire! Fight back to the Rhine! Retake everything they lost!
Driven by this belief, the Frank Empire restored its national strength at an astonishing speed.
It took only five years for the Frank Empire to successfully push back, regained its old capital, regained all the land they lost, and pushed its borders back to the east bank of the Rhine River.
However, this does not mean that their "203 shame" has been successfully washed away.
Because the shame brought to them by the Britannian Empire was too great.
After capturing Yanordorf, the generals and soldiers of the Britannian army committed atrocities against the Frankish Empire that they didn't know how to describe them in writing.
At that time, the population of Yanordorf was 1.13 million.
When the Frank Empire regained its capital five years later, the Frank Empire's most prosperous city was left at that time with only 310,000 people...
How could the monarchs and ministers of the Frank Empire swallow this anger just by regaining the land that originally belonged to them?
We must let Pandragong of the Britannian Empire taste the humiliation and pain that Yanordorf once suffered!
"Shame of 203" is a major event that can be recorded in history and is worth remembering forever.
Because this incident was the fuse of the "Hundred Years' War" between the Britannian Empire and the Frank Empire.
It is this major event that kicked off the "Hundred Years' War" between the two countries.
Since this incident, the two countries have waged a long war for a hundred years.
The Frank Empire wanted to avenge the Britannian Empire, and wanted Pandragon to taste the humiliation and pain that Yanordorf had endured.
In the minds of the Franks, the "Shame of 203" has not been successfully washed away.
Only by destroying the Britannian Empire and making Pandragon become ruins like Yanordorf can it be considered a "shame of 203"!
The Britannian Empire naturally would not sit by and wait for death.
The Britannian Empire also wanted to destroy the Frank Empire and completely wipe out this great threat that was only a river from him.
Looking at his father's tombstone and the epitaph on the tombstone, Xia De's mind echoed his teachings when his father was still alive...
...
"Xia De! Never forget the 'Shame of 203'!"
...
"Xard! You are the crown prince! The next monarch of the Frank Empire! Always remember the shame brought to us by the 'Shame of 203'!"
...
"Even if it takes another hundred years... no, even if this war is going to last for a thousand years, we have to continue!"
...
"We must fight until the Britannian Empire is destroyed by us and the shame of '203' is successfully washed away!"
...
"Xiade! Don't be poisoned by those pedantic teachers! Those pedantic teachers actually taught you to let go of your hatred, don't be deceived by the hatred of your ancestors, and don't let your hatred pass on from generation to generation? It's simply fart! How much sacrifice have we made to avenge the Britannian Empire? Those pedantic old men will let our efforts be wasted in vain with one light sentence? If we give up revenge on the Britannian Empire now, then all our sacrifices over the years will be in vain!"
