Chapter 23 If the stars are here, the empire will last forever(1/2)

 "The empire sinks, the sky collapses and the earth breaks."

"The Capital of Triumph, an imperial capital that has a history of more than 2,300 years since the time of the kings, has witnessed the rise and fall of two generations of empires. With the final empire sinking, it was completely buried at the bottom of the end sea."

Kilbert's compassionate words even infected the guards on both sides. Tailes clearly felt that their hands, pressing the hilt of the sword, were trembling slightly.

Kilbert pressed Tailes' shoulder and looked at the young knight on the wall who was always roaring and charging, but he was like a never-ending one.

"And Tormond I...he was not the king at that time, but the last remnant of the final empire."

Tails felt the heavy weight in Kilbert's hand, and only heard the former Foreign Minister speak silently and recite the poem from "Cahill Ye Luo's Poems Collection":

"The hero raises the flag, the king holds the gun, the empire has fallen, and the world is gone."

"Ten years of blood and fire, I returned from victory, but I can never go back to my homeland and land I fought for, and the imperial family was gone, and all the nobles were all in my mind." Speaking of this, Kilbert said in a daze:

"Tyles, my little sir, can you imagine that feeling?"

Tailes stared at Tormond who was moving forward in a daze.

The young knight looked so brave and fearless, even on the tragic battlefield, he looked glorious.

At that time, would he know that he would never go back to his hometown?

Before Tayles could reply, Kilbert sighed: "No, at least I can't."

Tailes didn't speak, but he just felt a strange feeling inside.

"The creature is anxious, where can I return to loneliness?"

Tailes calmly recited the last two lines of poetry.

Afraid of living creatures.

In his imagination, a magnificent and magnificent city appeared, but it was slowly sinking. Everyone was running for their lives, shouting in panic, panic, but could only watch the sea water powerlessly and submerge everything.

At this moment, Tailes suddenly raised his head and asked with heavy and slightly resentment:

"Where are those people?"

"Huh?" Immersed in the memory of the Revival King, Kilbert turned his head and looked at Tailes in confusion.

I saw Tails also looking at Kilbert, calming down and looking calm.

"It's not just the imperial family and the nobles, it's not just the knights and soldiers - they were originally participants in the war."

"But there are countless people living on that land, farmers, merchants, old men, children," said the traveler in a calm tone, "all those who are involved in this war without distinction, no distinction, no distinction, no race."

"During war, when Lu Shen, they are more innocent than disasters, emperors, nobles, and anyone else."

"But they are the meaning of the existence of the empire - can't they escape?"

Kilbert stared at Tailes, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had known Tailes for the first time, and looked at him again.

"Just like you sympathize with the people's grandfather, Mr. Tailes," sighed Kilbert, "You have a compassionate and loving heart."

Be compassionate to the people?

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

As for compassion and kindness?

The time traveler shook his head silently in his heart.

But Kilbert then lowered his head in despair, his eyes full of loss: "No, the whole world, and finally the empire, from princes and nobles to the people, all fell into the sea."

"Just remaining Tormond and his army prove that the final empire and even the ancient empire were not legends, they all existed incredibly real terms."

Tails lowered his head, closed his eyes, and let out a gentle breath.

At this moment, Kilbert's hand on Tailes' shoulder suddenly slowly exerted force, and he spit out the following words word by word:

"The Prince Tormond at that time was just the most unpopular illegitimate son in the imperial family of the final imperial family."

Tailes was shocked!

Tails suddenly turned around and looked at Kilbert in disbelief.

He knew why Kilbert said this.

"Don't talk about titles, territory, property, he is not qualified to inherit even his surname. Even the title of 'Prince' is just a politeness."

Kilbert looked at Tailes with a firm look:

"He has nothing compared to you now, and the situation he faces is a hundred times more sinister than you."

Tailes looked at Kilbert blankly, and then at the illegitimate son king on the wall.

Kilbert shook his head, put down the hand on Tailes' shoulder, and continued:

"The Battle of End is victorious, and humanity and the entire civilized world are celebrating great victory, and the world's politics is also changing."

"Oriental, Feng Wang Chenjian took the hope of the Far Eastern people to overthrow the old dynasty and establish the Suye Dynasty."

"Ama Mimo Hanbull raised his flag and began to sow the reputation of the Hanbull dynasty among countless believers."

"The West, the hero Necaju Eks, was crowned king with the cheers of the crowd, and the powerful and proud Kingdom of Exet was born."

“But compared to this…”

Kilbert looked at Master Colvin's painting with seriousness and compassion:

"The final empire that inherited the glory of the empire lost all its territory and citizens overnight, leaving only the last bloodline."

"On a nightmare, the originally insignificant illegitimate child became the only remaining supreme leader of the empire that no longer exists."

"No matter whether it is land, people, supplies, or wealth, Tormond has nothing. Apart from the six knights around him, there are only two thousand soldiers alone, walking in panic on the strange land, hoping to cut off, and the road ahead is dim."

"At the age of twenty-four, he moved among many forces and lords. In order to ensure that even a little food, some supplies, a garrison, and a batch of weapons, he used all means, from humbleness to strife, from clever words to tricks and robbery, he maintained his subordinates' independent survival and the last dignity of the empire."

"The lonely Prince Tormond struggled every day between war, conspiracy, ambition and power, and tried to survive in ridicule, mock, use, and malicious intention. He was already covered in gray hair at the age of twenty-six."

Kilbert raised his hands with his eyes full of reverence.

"'The_final_prince_of_the_final_empire) - this was the ridicule and ridicule of people on two continents at that time."

Tailes looked at the heroic prince with no words.

"Ten years have passed, their number is getting smaller and smaller, and their hopes are getting smaller. Finally, after a battle with heavy casualties, the desperate subordinates hugged the body of their colleagues and surrounded the haggard Prince Tormond, crying and asking him:

What's the point of fighting like this? The empire has been destroyed and no land has existed. They are like rootless floating duckweeds, and the embers of history will eventually die without leaving any trace."

"Why do you have to fight?"

"Why don't you give up?"

Tailes was slightly shocked and looked at the prince. The ancestor's eyes were different.

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

Kilbert looked at Tails' expression and sighed compassionately, but then he showed a firm look and expression:

"Tyles!" He called Tayles the first time he was serious and unrespectful to him: "You must listen carefully to the next words."

"That night, facing the reproach of his subordinates, Tormond shed tears, took off his scarred armor, pointed to the countless stars in the sky, and recited the most important vow in his life!"

At that moment, when Tailes saw the guards on both sides, they stood up straight, with their heads raised and the sound of armor colliding in the empty hall.

Only Kilbert's face was firm and his tone was solemn, and he spit out the words:

"If the stars are there, the empire will last forever."

(the_empire_shall_last,_so_long_as_the_stars_be.)

Tailes took a deep breath.

Stars - if the stars are there?

Empire - Tales pondered the meaning of this sentence - forever?

The middle-aged nobles had just finished speaking.

The soldiers and guards in the entire hall followed this sentence and walked vigorously.

"Dong!"

Then, they waved their fists together and slammed the shield of the nine-pointed stars of the gold and silver!

"boom!"

The empty hall was filled with crisp echoes!

Thales, who was shocked by history, was so scared that he took a step back.

"Tayles!"

Before he could react, Kilbert suddenly squatted down, held the crosser's shoulders with both hands, looked straight at him, and said seriously:

"Please don't underestimate yourself, your bloodline, and the meaning they represent."

"The existence of you and Canxing is the golden age of mankind, the great ancient empire, the heroic final empire, and the most powerful proof that it will remain in the world!"

At this point, Kilbert's eyes were full of excitement and his hands were trembling, which made Tails panic inexplicably.

He continued to say loudly:
To be continued...
