In the history of each race, there must be something long-lasting and memorable, such as heroes and certain historical events. These memorable things have a common feature, that is, whether they are lower-level people of this race or
The mention of being a descendant of a noble and royal family will bring tears to one's eyes.
If you combine these memorable places among humans, orcs, elves, dwarves and even the evil aliens from Alcatraz Island, there is only one answer - the war of the gods.
In the War of the Gods that lasted for 20 years, the main forces were three parties and nine kingdoms. Each party, every country, and every piece of soil needed to be described by talented people. Just name a famous figure of that era.
, even if they are not the most popular heroes, it is enough to make the lips of countless future generations tremble.
Just take a medium-sized battle at that time, the commander's various changes in battle, the bravery of the soldiers, the bonuses of various arms... these are enough for future generations of military strategists to study for a long time.
Of course, these are not enough to make all races miss him for a long time.
What is different from any major era in history is that in the war of the gods, there are military geniuses who are rare in a thousand years, magic masters who are unparalleled, and swordsmanship masters who shock the past and the present. However, there are only no conspirators - it seems
An extremely rare tacit understanding. In that era, everyone was striving for their own ideals.
1,000 years have passed, and even today, we still have to say that everyone in the War of the Gods is a hero living under the sun.
——"A Sigh of a Thousand Years"
There was already rustling light snow underfoot. They had not been back to Scambrae for two years. None of the three older boys were sentimental little men, but the feeling of being away for a long time still arose spontaneously.
There was a long queue outside the South Gate of Scambrane.
Chi Aotian frowned. The size of the imperial capital is rare in the world. There are only 16 city gates. According to the rules of the imperial capital, the city gates are opened at 6:00 in the morning and closed at 11:00 at night. Among the 16 gates, the most special one is the imperial capital.
South Gate, 65% of the empire's territory is south of the imperial capital, and there is an endless sea to the north of the imperial capital. However, in the southern part of the empire, there are two other aggressive empires on the mainland. Therefore, the main south of the mainland highway connecting the southern border of the empire is
In order not to affect the transmission of military information, the door was kept open all night. In Chi Aotian's memory, there had never been such a long queue outside the imperial capital city wall.
Chi Aotian has a special affection for the empire - although he has always tried his best to deny it, in a sense, the Chi family are descendants of the emperor of the empire. The relationship between the Chi family and the imperial lineage is extremely
It’s complicated. Many imperial princesses ended up marrying children of the Chi family. Similarly, there are precedents for emperors in the past to marry beautiful girls from the Chi family. The mother of Emperor Hongshi was Chi Aotian’s biological aunt. Seeing "I
There was such chaos at the door of the house, and Chi Aotian even blamed it on his uncle.
The winding line was divided into three lines. The longest line was filled with ordinary people and merchants at first glance. The middle line was actually filled with mercenaries of all kinds. The shortest line was filled with more than 10 soldiers delivering military intelligence reports.
Daqingshan pulled Chi Aotian and lined up in the mercenary team.
Pedestrians of all kinds kept pouring out of the small inns and hotels outside the south gate and lined up at the back of the queue. The queue moved extremely slowly, and many people complained softly while patting the small particles of snow on their bodies.
"The war hasn't started yet, why are you so panicked?"
"Well, the little king now has not fought many battles. He is not like when the old king was alive. It is inevitable that he will be a little panicked."
"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down. By the way...I heard that even the generals in the Gyeonggi Defense Area were scared away? As soon as the enemy entered the territory, the earl went to the Northern Federation. If they reached the doorstep, they would have to surrender.
ah."
…
The three of Chi Aotian looked at each other. Chi Hanfeng was not in the imperial capital? He went to the Northern Federation?
The queue was quite long, and the soldiers checking in the distance seemed to be very serious. They only took a step forward every few minutes. Later, more and more people lined up.
It's almost 10:00, and three people have reached the front of the queue.
Horns was a little impatient. He had already hinted Chi Aotian twice to come forward and reveal his identity. As a direct descendant of the Duke of the Empire, it should be quite easy to enter this city. Chi Aotian shook his head indifferently.
The main reason why he had a bad relationship with 90% of his classmates in the knight school was not because he didn't want to see them reveal their noble status everywhere.
Although he is a noble descendant of the Emperor, Chi Aotian has been extremely annoyed by this since he was a child - and it seems that all the non-eldest sons of the Chi family are annoyed by this.
Someone in later generations analyzed Chi Aotian's unique temperament very harshly:
According to the rules of direct inheritance of imperial nobles, for a hereditary imperial noble family, the eldest son can inherit all the reputation, wealth and fiefdom of the family, while the other children other than the eldest son can at most become imperial blue feather knights. If they are born as commoners, they may not even become imperial knights.
You cannot have low-level noble titles.
The Chi family is a duke, and some of their ancestors have even been made princes, but only for two generations. As a prestigious family among the imperial aristocracy, even the children of the Chi family can be made hereditary barons, while the children of the Chi family can be made hereditary barons.
Children generally have a title of viscount or above. Later, as long as they have meritorious service, they are likely to obtain a title of earl or above.
However, even under this kind of discount, the huge gap between the second son and the eldest son is still enough to make people feel suffocated. Perhaps, from the moment he was born, Chi Aotian knew the difference between himself and his elder brother.
From the moment he became sensible, he knew that today's servants and family would no longer have anything to do with him after he turns 20.
Perhaps, it was under this pressure that Chi Ao Tiancai expressed his deep disgust for this kind of aristocratic privilege that would disappear once possessed. Of course, most of the above words are the imagination of future generations.
What is the real situation - if the eyes of the Black-faced Dragon King are black ice, enough to turn midsummer into winter; the heart of the Black-faced Dragon King is a dark pool, and no matter who wants to detect his secrets, they will inevitably disappear.
without a trace.
It was only more than 20 meters away from the main entrance, and there were less than twenty mercenaries in front of it. At this time, it could be clearly seen that the people checking outside the door were not the previous Colorful Dragon Knights, but several towns near the imperial capital.
The swordsmen of the swordsman battalion are led by junior officers of the Royal Forest Army. There are also some mercenaries wearing dark blue leather armor standing scattered outside the city gate. Looking at the tacit understanding between them, it is obvious that
Their cooperation is no longer just a day or two.
It was estimated that they would be able to enter the Imperial Capital in 30 minutes, and the three boys relaxed. Looking at the bustling crowds in the city through the huge city gate, although Nancheng was the poorest neighborhood in the Imperial Capital, it was unmatched by other cities.
The imperial capital is, after all, the imperial capital.
There was a sudden commotion ahead, which drew the three teenagers' distracted eyes.
At the front, two swordsmen with businesslike and suspicious faces were holding a young mercenary's fair wrist almost forcefully. The young man also held a mercenary diary in his hand. Perhaps it was because of the heavy force on his hands.
, the young mercenary's face was already flushed, and looking from a distance, there seemed to be tears floating in the young man's eyes.
"Let me go! Let me go!" Seeing that he couldn't break free from the soldier's hand, the young mercenary shouted anxiously.
"No! Your Majesty has an order. During the war, everyone must be searched." The tone of an older swordsman revealed that there was no room for argument.
The mercenaries at the back all looked forward, searching the city? The mercenaries who knew and those who didn't knew began to discuss.
"If you don't let go, I won't be polite." The young mercenary scolded. He struggled twice in a row but still couldn't get away. He suddenly stomped the ground with both feet, using the held arm as an axis, and his body came up in the air.
He turned around and kicked the swordsman in the face with both feet at the same time.
※※※
Looking at the young mercenary who had been eaten by them, the two swordsmen did not expect that the situation would develop into a fusion. They did not expect that there would be someone outside the imperial capital who dared to cause trouble and hit an active soldier, and he was also a soldier on official duty. The two swordsmen were unprepared.
With both mid-foot kicks, the young man's thin body burst out with power beyond everyone's expectations. The two swordsmen were kicked into the air and fell heavily to the snow. The young man rolled in the air for a week before landing steadily.
.
"Good!" Daqingshan and the others praised him from the bottom of their hearts. This kind of flexible skill can only be possessed by true swordsmen.
Choking, choking, choking..." The 6 or 7 swordsmen around them quickly drew their swords from their waists and backs.
"Stop!" A guerrilla officer of the Royal Forest Army shouted to his subordinates. Although he was not a direct commander, he was a senior officer in the army. The swordsman, who was still mumbling, changed the direction of his sword.
"Who are you? According to the regulations of the empire, during the war, all people entering and leaving the imperial capital must be searched." The officer's face also looked extremely ugly.
The Royal Guards are the personal army directly under His Majesty the King. Most of its members are the children of the imperial nobility and are known as the elite among the elites. Even when dealing with the four elites of the Empire, most of the officers and soldiers of the Royal Guards are rude, let alone ordinary mercenaries.
If it weren't for the fear of causing trouble, the young mercenary's vigorous kick just now would have resulted in him being labeled an "enemy suspect" and put in jail for review.
Inexplicable anger appeared on the face of the young mercenary: "I have been to the imperial capital so many times and I have never been inspected. You are bullying me."
Humph...this is during the war." The officer's face became even more ugly.
Then I won’t enter the city..." The young man pulled away from the mercenary group.
"Sorry, Your Excellency, your behavior has made me doubt whether you are an enemy spy. Come on, take it." The officer's voice was fearful. The young man's behavior just now has indeed made him suspicious. In the past month,
After checking so many mercenaries, there was no such thing as being first. It seems that there is a secret that cannot be revealed. For the safety of the imperial capital, it is inevitable to capture it first.
After receiving the instructions, the swords of the swordsmen instantly emitted patches of white light. Daqingshan and Chi Aotian looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time. The combat skills of the regular swordsman battalion of the empire are really not that bad. These swordsmen in front of them are all
He is between 20 and 35 years old, and he is supposedly at the peak of his life. However, after taking action with his long sword, his attack power is not even as good as that of the werewolf swordsmen of the Fanos Continent, and there is no way to join forces to fight. This look... Although
As we all know, most of the Imperial Swordsman Battalions are recruits who have just joined the army for one year and are leftover soldiers from other armies. Although everyone understands that the Swordsman Battalion near the Imperial Capital has not been involved in the war in the past 300 years, but
It is so bad that no one can imagine it. An ordinary farmer will not be this bad after several months of training. When compared with the swordsmen of the small mercenary group, the difference between these swordsmen is even greater.
It may be impossible for a random little mercenary to win, but it is very easy to escape from these soldiers.
In the white sword shadow, purple electric light suddenly exploded, and two purple daggers appeared in the hands of the young mercenary like ghosts.
Da Qingshan and Chi Aotian frowned at the same time. As masters of swordsmanship, the two boys knew the use of long swords and short swords very well. The weapon in the boy's hands was a short sword that was rarely used by regular swordsmen and knights. Only
A general knight's sword is 1/3 long, mostly 0.3 to 0.5 meters long. In terms of sword theory, it has taken a different development route from the commonly used big swords and knight's swords. The big sword pays attention to the wide opening and wide closing.
Use sword moves to win with momentum; a long sword is an upright weapon compared to a big sword. Any enemy stabbed by a long sword must be stabbed from the front; and this kind of short sword is limited by the length of the sword body.
, which has no advantage in frontal attacks. For the flexibility that is the first requirement for dagger swordsmen, the lethality of the blades on both sides of the sword is much greater than that of the tip. And this bright purple color shows that these two
The sword contains at least a small amount of the rare metal copper blue, and the sword itself is already valuable. Most people who can own such a long sword are from aristocratic families or are elders of their masters with considerable status.
Whether to intervene or not to intervene in the conflict in front of them, both people showed hesitation in their eyes at the same time.
The melee came to an end in a moment of hesitation. The red blood beads were carried away by the quickly wiped sword blade for more than ten meters, and landed on the faces and bodies of Chi Aotian and others. The fingers as handsome as pure white marble gently
He gently wiped away the blood drops on his face of the same texture, as if nothing happened.
Long swords fell on the ground all around the young mercenaries. The sharp swords bounced on the frozen ground, making a crisp whine. The swordsmen covered their right wrists with their left hands and stepped aside in panic.
, blood flowed out from between the fingers.
"Trash." The Royal Forest Army officer cursed secretly. He also knew that these swordsmen were terrible, but the ending of them all being knocked down in less than a minute was beyond his imagination.
The two surrounding teams of inspecting soldiers also noticed something strange here. They were also in charge of the Royal Forest Army officers. They called on their swordsmen to continue the inspection and came over with the black and blue mercenaries on both sides.
"He is a spy, take it down." The expression on the guerrilla's face turned extremely ugly. If there were any soldiers or warriors, their face had already fallen to the ground and shattered into pieces. The injured soldiers of the Swordsman Battalion were all around.
The officer and the dark blue mercenary hesitated for the last time.
