Chapter 44: The battle will begin (I)

Rebecca ran. She didn't know why she started running away like a betrayed dog. At this moment, her mind was full of the scene she had just seen.

The elves are extremely serious about their relationship. The partner they have identified will never betray them. Has Ivis just confirmed that he will spend his whole life with him?

As she kept running, Rebecca's tears couldn't help but flow. She recalled many, many scenes from the past. On that rainy night, she met the elf boy who always smiled for the first time... After that, many things happened. Rebecca also slowly understood the true meaning of the holy light. She was moving forward firmly and persistently on the glorious path.

But at this moment, she saw a shocking scene. She had thought countless times to be with Avis. She wanted to wear the ring handed over by Avis in the holy church, and then live happily with him... All of this was once so close to her, but she seemed to never be able to grasp it.

Rebecca kept running. At this time, the elf boy also chased him out. He was a warrior, so his running speed was far greater than Rebecca. After running for a distance, the elf boy chased Rebecca.

The girl with short golden hair now had no previous pride. Her face was full of tears and her shoulders were constantly shaking. When the elf boy saw this scene, he opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a long time.

Although he had felt something before, when he saw this scene, he still felt an indescribable shock in his heart.

"Why are you crying?" The elf boy suddenly showed a faint smile. He looked at the girl with tears and said softly. Rebecca raised his head and wiped the tears at the corners of his eyes. He wanted to speak, but he didn't know how to start.

Avis took out a tissue from his arms and wiped the crystal tears at the corner of Rebecca's eyes. After a while, he said, "Jie is not my lover. She is the one who comes to seek the protection of me, the king... She is in danger, and it is very likely that only I can protect her. And she is also very important to the future." At this point, the elf boy paused slightly, and then said, "So, I decided to protect her. There was no such thing between us."

Rebecca lowered her head slightly, and she seemed to have understood. There were too many doubts about what happened just now. First of all, Jie had never appeared before, and an elf was very serious about feelings. How could he choose someone who only met once as his lifelong companion?

Moreover, the war is about to begin, and Ivis should not provoke other women at this time.

After Rebecca knew that she had misunderstood Avis, she couldn't help but feel a little shocked. She touched her chest and suddenly realized that her expression had fallen into Avis' eyes. So... what expression should she use to face Avis in the future?

The elf boy smiled. He gently tidied up Rebecca's somewhat messy collar, and then said, "Can you wait for me if you want? If I can stop that catastrophe, I will be with you."

The end of the Second Era was like a sharp blade, floating on Ivis' head. Humans, gods, demons, and powerful men from all races emerged one after another. This was a feast for brave men and a tragic song of heroes. If he could stop the disaster that could be called a "catastrophe" in the Second Era, he would also marry a woman he liked. Now it seems that Rebecca is a good choice.

Rebecca glanced at the elf boy, her face turned slightly red. After a while, she raised her head and looked directly at Avis' dark pupils.

"Yeah, I'll wait for you."

...

The golden sunlight slowly shone on this quiet village. In the only church in this village, a girl with golden hair was praying.

She was wearing a blue dress with ornaments hanging on her head. At the same time, the girl had a hint of holy smell at this moment. She prayed devoutly, as if in this way, the Father in heaven could hear her most sincere prayer.

At this time, a noise sounded outside. The girl stood up, turned her head, and then she saw chaos outside.

The girl frowned slightly. She walked out of the gate. There, many people watched a group of troops entering this barren village with nervous and admiration.

The villagers were curious or worried, and just watched the white knights riding horses walk into the village. But the girl's brows frowned slightly. What are they here for?

Are you here to collect taxes? No... This is a barren village. Even if everyone in all villages gives the money to these knights, they may not be satisfied with these guys. So, either they collect taxes or start a war? This place is far away from other kingdoms, but it is closer to the coastline. Could it be that the war was carried out on the beach?

Joan of Arc suddenly thought of a possibility. She had heard the "rumor" spread by the baron. In March this year, Vikings would invade from overseas. Could it be that this rumor became true?

"Baron Fernandez, thank you for your assistance."

Heathmet, who was riding on the horse, said sincerely. Their White Stone Knights had already fought with the Vikings. The battle was very difficult. They had already sent a signal of distress, but after fighting for three days, the nobles seemed to be silent at all. Except for the few nobles who helped some food, they did not see any reinforcements.

But at this moment, Baron Fernandez led his army to this area. He successfully rescued the White Stone Knights, which was almost collapsed on the entire line. If it weren't for Baron Fernandez's help, the White Stone Knights might have completely destroyed here.

Fernandez retracted his eyes from observing the village's defense, and then he looked at the middle-aged man standing next to him and suddenly smiled. He said, "I guessed that no nobles would go to save you, so I started recruiting soldiers, but I made you wait for a long time. If I could come earlier, I should be able to die fewer people, right?"

Heathmai glanced at the smiling young man, then shook his head with a wry smile: "If you bring less people here, we may be wiped out."

Fernandez smiled and did not say anything afterwards. He looked around and said, "Who made the defense arrangement of this place? It's very good."

Hesmai then began to observe the surroundings. This place is indeed a well-defended village. If the village gate was not opened and put in, it would be impossible to conquer the village without paying some price. Hesmai became more and more frightened the more he looked at it. After a long time, he said, "Then let's meet the people who set up these defenses. The war has begun now, and we must make some preparations no matter what."

"Well." Fernandez nodded, and then said: "The Vikings' combat power is indeed very strong. I have fought with them in my early years. I have to say that their average strength is more than ours. We need a large number of regular troops on the front battlefield... It's a pity that these nobles in our country do not seem to plan to send their own elite troops. Moreover, the generals are rare. Therefore, as long as they are a talent, we cannot let go!"

Listening to Fernandez's righteous words, Heathmet looked at the young man next to him strangely. This young nobleman killed his father and successfully became the lord. In Fernandez's eyes, this young man should be the kind of cold-blooded and ruthless aristocrat who loves power and uses all means. But now, this young man seems to be a righteous man.

Heathmai found that he was a little unsure of the background of the young man who had killed his father and promoted him.

Soon, they found the place to be stationed. At the same time, they began to ask the garrison officer here who was the person who arranged the city defense here. Soon, a girl with a shiny blonde hair walked in. After she saw the two people, she saluted respectfully, and then said, "Joan of Arc meets the two of you."

"Is this city defense you arranged?" Xismai seemed to be a little surprised. He thought he would be a man, but unexpectedly he was a delicate woman.

Joan of Arc raised his head and then pointed it seriously. Fernandez also began to observe the girl. It took him a long time to say, "I guess you already know that the Vikings have begun to invade."

Joan of Arc nodded. From the rumors that suddenly spread out just now, she could know that the Vikings really invaded and defeated the regular army of the Lanying Kingdom. Now the Lanying Kingdom is panicking, and they can be said to have no clue as to whether they can resist the Viking invasion.

"So we need talents." Fernandez saw that Joan of Arc did not show a panic expression, but a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "So, can you please join our army?"

This statement surprised everyone around him!
