The Amber Sword

Scene 352 Requiem II

The demons seemed to have discovered the actions of human beings in advance, and countless harpies flew into the sky in the starless night. The Victory, the flagship of the Eruin Royal Fleet, opened the prelude to this war with its bombardment. After a test shot, the flash exploded in the Harpy. The crossbowman on the side of the ship saw that the layers of wings almost covered the strong light from the explosion, and the shell was like a stone thrown into the sea.

Countless enemies.

The wizard observed the effect of the bombardment through the porthole of the gun port, and the flames of the explosion made his face pale. He took off the paper full of forms from the side, and recorded the amount of charge and magic power injected on it. The herald took the form from him and gave the order.

A moment later, the entire fleet let out a roar, and countless shells roared towards the airtight harpy group. A flash of explosion exploded among these monsters, and the shock wave of the explosion almost formed a wave of blood, pushing countless feathers and stumps forward, and the mutilated corpses fell like rain.

The roar in the rainy night awakened the dormant earth. The rumbling sound seemed to revive the forest from Bunoan to the Silver Sheath Sea Cliff. The imaginary blood flowing under the surface was flowing in huge blood vessels. Rolling and roaring, every soldier felt the ground under his feet tremble slightly, like a living thing. The flash of the explosion above the head illuminated the sky and the earth. At a glance, one could see the panorama of the bumpy battlefield near Bunoan Acropolis. Flags were erected on the edge of the battlefield, and then human armies appeared in the field of vision.

The human alliance has begun to attack.

The goal of the Eruin and the Cruz was to capture several villages near the Bunoan Acropolis, in order to attract the demons to put more troops on the frontal battlefield, but the fireball of the demon warlock on the head of the Bunoan Acropolis gave the whole The battlefield has brought great trouble, and the battle is progressing more slowly than expected.

Freya, her cadets and Lantoniland knights were briskly advancing along a forest in the center of the battlefield, and they soon arrived near the Acropolis of Bunoan. Their goal was to capture this ancient castle. Freya ordered an attack immediately after observing the terrain, and hundreds of Lantonilan knights immediately attacked a gap in the collapsed wall of the ancient castle.

The little demons on the gap are not their opponents. These small and inferior demons are notoriously timid and cowardly in the Sulfur River. They neither know magic nor have any fighting skills. They are something that can be exchanged as food or even currency. After being killed by several companions, these seemingly cruel and terrifying monsters revealed their true nature and scattered, and the knights quickly killed them on the top of the city. The girl from Butch's countryside took the lead, and was delighted to see that her side's offensive was progressing rapidly. According to this speed, it would take less than a quarter of an hour to capture the Bunoan Acropolis.

But just at this time, a demon warlock appeared at the top of the gap. Unlike human wizards wearing robes, these demon warlocks are muscled, with huge horns growing on their heads, and their bodies are as undecorated as low-level demons. Holding a burning fireball in their hands, they threw it down, and it exploded among the knights rushing forward.

The air wave generated by the explosion made the knights of Lantonilan reeling, and a flying stone even scratched Freya's face, causing the girl's face to be bloodied immediately. However, she didn't care about the burning pain, and immediately shouted: "Everyone, follow me and rush up, don't give it another chance to cast spells!"

After finishing speaking, he immediately climbed the gravel and rushed up to the gap. Two little demons summoned by the demon warlock rushed towards her, one on the left and the other on the right.

But Freya raised her shields to block them and threw them off the wall. Her heroic actions greatly boosted the morale of the Lantoniland knights. The knights shouted the name of the female knight and killed them. To the city head.

However, Freya also attracted the attention of the demon warlocks, and soon more little demons surrounded her, forcing her to slow down. The surrounding knights quickly passed her, and they rushed to the top of the city, but another huge figure appeared on the top of the city.

It was a tauren.

The monster from Georgendigon appeared without warning, and it was evident that it had been lying in wait behind the city walls from the beginning, waiting for the human knights to throw themselves into the trap. This monster is at least three people tall, holding a huge ax that is bigger than itself, standing there is like a huge windmill, and it also sweeps the giant ax in its hand forward like the blades of a windmill, rushing The Lantoniland knights at the front let out a scream and were all cut in half.

The tauren mooed and roared, and rushed down along the collapsed city wall, sweeping all the humans and demons who stood in front of him down the city. The human knight was no match for it at all. The monster quickly came to Freya, raised his ax and violently swept it away.

"Be careful, Freya!"

Freya even heard the reminder from Beth behind her. At that moment, she was extremely nervous. She had never seen such a huge monster except for the terrifying wind element on Mar Heights. But seeing it from a distance was different from fighting in close quarters. The huge black ax surface brought her enormous psychological pressure.

If you hit it, you will die, no, you must not die here. Brando is still ahead, and he must win here. Only in this way, the demons will turn their attention to the frontal battlefield.

Everything she learned in the Wangli Knight Academy seemed to become clear at once. At the last moment, she felt calm, as if some special power was flowing in her body. This feeling was exactly the same as the moment she got the Lion Heart Sword back then. .

The giant ax of the tauren arrived in no time, and Freya ducked her head as if she was blessed with spirituality, and at the same time jumped forward, subconsciously grabbing the handle of the ax and firmly grasping the position where the ax face was connected.

The tauren didn't have time to see clearly, and swung the ax to the highest point. Freya let go of her hand and jumped up and landed on its huge ax face. The ax face was almost one meter wide, which was enough for her to stand on. Then she took another leap and landed steadily towards the back of the tauren's neck.

This series of actions was completed in an instant, before everyone had time to react, but the tauren finally realized that the prey in front of him had somehow landed on his back. It let out an angry moo, and stretched out its hand to grab Freya behind it.

But Freya dodged the monster's mat-sized hand by turning to the side. At the same time, she gritted her teeth and raised the Lionheart sword high. At that moment, a bright light radiated from the sword, as bright as a A beam of icy blue flames illuminated the entire Bunoan Acropolis, and also illuminated the bright eyes of this country girl from Butch.

Just like the reappearance of the scene of that day, a pair of silver wings of light stretched out from Freya's back, and the battle pattern of the Valkyrie reappeared. Insert the spine downward.

With a puff, the shining lion heart sword was inserted into the tauren's neck like cutting tofu.

The tauren raised its head to the sky and let out a wail. It dropped its huge ax and slapped itself on the neck as if it had gone mad. This time Freya couldn't avoid it no matter what, she heard a cracking sound from behind and a burst of severe pain, and her internal organs almost moved. The heart sword's hilt took advantage of the momentum to drag the sword out of the field, and the black plasma on the tauren's body immediately gushed out.

Freya coughed up a mouthful of blood, then raised her long sword and stabbed it into the back of the tauren's head. This time, the monster finally couldn't bear such a serious injury, and immediately fell forward, and fell on the collapsed city wall with a bang.

Everyone was terrified.

"Freya!" Beth, who went with Freya, ran towards the body of the tauren like a madman. The cadets of the Wangli Knight Academy had a comrade-in-arms relationship with each other, and she and Fu Leiya is one of the rare women, and has a better relationship.

But at this time, the girl from Butch's countryside was in a daze, but she only thought about one thing.

Can't stop yet.

She had already learned everything from Charles, whether Brando was still ahead, she knew what he was going to do, and she knew what she was going to do.

Absolutely can't be that useless Butch's militia captain Freya again.

She wants to change Butch and everyone's fate.

Brando can help her.

But she is no longer that ignorant country girl, she has learned a lot. She even vaguely felt that she might have seen what Brando saw, which was exactly what Her Highness the Princess was after. Not just an ideal, but a beautiful vision.

When can Aruin get rid of his established destiny? Beth said that the tragedy of Butch will not repeat itself until the kingdom becomes stronger again. But Brando told her that it was not just the task of nobles, and Her Royal Highness told her that everyone must use their own sword to defend their dignity.

"Freya!" Beth came to the girl and helped her up.

The knights of Lantonilan couldn't help cheering when they saw the female knight covered in blood. Freya gritted her teeth and raised the Lionheart Sword in her hand high.

The shining blade of the sword is more like a banner, and this banner is in front of everyone's eyes. It was the Lionheart Sword, a banner of victory, as if to symbolize Aruin's uprightness and unyieldingness.

"Freya!"

"Freya! Freya!" Everyone's blood was boiling, and the knights shouted the name of their temporary commander and attacked the city wall.

The Minotaur no longer appeared on the top of the city. Such high-level creatures, even the army of demons, could not use them as consumables. After all, this is no longer the battlefield of the battle of the saints thousands of years ago.

Freya watched the torrent of black and red rushing into Bunoan Acropolis, but her heart was peaceful.

"Beth, help me up."

"What, you're hurt like this." The short-haired girl complained, "I promised my lord commander to take good care of you, and now my precious magic bow can't be kept."

Freya couldn't help coughing and laughing, she knew that Brando would never haggle with her for this reason. She felt that she was in severe pain, but she had never been so relaxed for a moment. Something in her heart was far away from her, but she became more mature.

"I seem to understand something suddenly, Beth."

"What do you understand?"

In another time and space, Eruin, the future Valkyrie, smiled slightly. At that moment, she finally understood that those words were not addressed to her, but Brando was asking and answering himself.

Wars will always happen, we have no choice but to accept them.

We live in a very bad time, and we cannot choose our time. But we can try to change it,

It may not change anything, but at least the memory that we have struggled with many people to achieve it is already precious.

Do you know the word companion? No matter how far you go, there are many people who accompany you. You will never be alone.

She, he, and everyone will move forward with Aruin.

Forever.

...The situation on the battlefield changed, and the demons finally began to notice that the human frontal offensive was more ferocious than they expected. Although losing Bu Nuo'an Acropolis is not a terrible thing, it at least shows that the weak opponent on the opposite side still has room for counterattack.

They began to put the army of Georgendigan behind them on the frontal battlefield, trying to completely crush the last hope of these poor people in one fell swoop.

But far away in the mountains and forests near Ampersel, the knights looked up at the fireworks-like flashes in the sky, but they were speechless in their hearts. Everyone in the group understood what it was, and the flash lasted for about a quarter of an hour. The old witch Babasha finally brought her companion back.

Just as Brando expected, those are all witches who live in seclusion in various parts of Aruin, and most of them are on par with Babasha in strength, and it seems that Babasha is the leader.

They all expressed their loyalty to Brando one by one, and even made an oath, of course, avoiding the attention of others.

Time was running out, and Brando had no time to appease these new subordinates. Under his order, everyone packed up and headed north. The knights had to walk through the forest in the dark and rain, and sometimes even waded through one or two swollen mountain streams. Fortunately, except for the princess, most of the entourage had strength above silver. The weather can only cause them a little trouble at best.

They bypassed several low mountains, traveled northward for more than 20 minutes, and soon arrived at that place. The secret door is located in a valley surrounded by twelve hazelnut trees, just as Brando remembered. But when they came out of the woodland, they saw a clearing without a door or anything that could be called man-made.

Everyone stopped and couldn't help but cast doubtful eyes on Brando.

Brando didn't speak, knowing what was going on in his heart. However, he was already quite cautious, and only waited for Babasha who was at the side to explain: "There is an illusion that only witches can unravel."

Sure enough.
