Lord of Riding and Slashing

　　 "That period was indeed a period of generosity and tragic epic. Although I have not experienced it, I can feel the magnificence of that era in the words left over from my ancestors."

Old Harlan slowly told Nord about what he said he knew, and his eyes were full of yearning. Even though he was old, he recalled the history recorded on the parchment he saw when he was young. Now Old Harlan also felt passionate.

　　 Old Harlan’s story is more detailed than Stina’s. It may be that Old Harlan’s information is relatively complete, and Nord also understands some history that Stina’s version does not have.

In fact, the Amon Mountains were originally the land where these barbarians lived. At that time, the border of Erissin’s empire was not at the foot of the Amon Mountains, but was some distance away from the Amon Mountains, but there were some similar things, such as Barbarians are indeed very cruel.

Because the buffer zone of the Amon Mountains is actually a plundering area for some barbarians who can't live in the Amon Mountains. The barbarians who live in the mountains from beginning to end have no moral concepts. They believe in the law of the jungle. , So the mountain people of this land near the Amon Mountains are indeed living in dire straits.

The cause of the war broke out because a barbarian looted the border. He attacked a small village in the Erezin Empire. Then, as described earlier, the northern governor of the empire directly declared war on the barbarians. Under the banner of the governor, the empire The army launched a mighty war with these barbarians.

"The governor's flag was painted on parchment by my ancestors. I was very impressed. It was an Amon condor flying its wings. The governor was also called the eagle of the empire. He has a very tough personality. , And brave enough to fight, sometimes even the emperor will give him three points."

　　 When talking about this, Harlan gave Nord a meaningful look, and Nord immediately realized that the flying eagle, isn't it the coat of arms of his family? Could it be that his family was actually the governor of the Arisin Empire before? This really didn't happen to Nord.

No wonder Harlan had such a strange expression when he saw his family crest for the first time. It turns out that he had seen his family crest a long time ago, but it was from the imperial governor hundreds of years ago. When I heard Nord, I understood why the old man Harlan had such a good attitude towards him, because he should have taken advantage of the governor.

And from Harlan's mouth, Nord also learned that when the war just started, it was not just that it was not smooth. If it were not for the strength of the northern border of the empire and the prestige of the governor, it is estimated that the empire's army would be defeated. , They didn't expect the barbarians to be so powerful.

Almost all the troops that fought against the barbarians were defeated. They felt that they were not fighting against humans, but against a monster. Only those elite soldiers and knights who followed the governor in the north and south could overcome the fear in their hearts. Bravely inflict heavy losses on those savages, otherwise the situation will collapse more severely.

　　The situation afterwards was just as Stina told, the governor borrowed the power of the mixed-blood mountain people and the advantage of the long-range archer to rush the barbarian to the depths of the mountain.

"You don't know how grateful and admired the mountain people at that time. So the Governor, as long as it is in the direction pointed by the Falcon Banner, there must be countless mountain scenes gathered. The protracted war has made the land of the Amon Mountain range red with blood. All the scenes at that time are recorded in the notes of my ancestors. Each of them was very proud. Under the leadership of the governor, they defeated the powerful barbarians."

　　 "What happened later, what happened to those savages?"

Nord is very concerned about this issue. The last time Stina talked about it, it stopped abruptly, because he didn't know what happened afterwards, because this history seemed to be hidden, Harlan took a calm look. Nord glanced, and then said calmly:

"My ancestor was a knight under the governor. Just after they drove the barbarians to the depths of the Amon Mountains, the governor seemed to have received some news. He didn't care about searching for the escaped barbarians in the forest. He retreated directly with the army."

There was also a trace of confusion on Old Harlan’s face. It was obvious that the iron-blooded governor was not an indecisive person. From his previous actions, it can be seen that he really wanted to kill these savages, otherwise Will not chase the depths of the Amon Mountains.

"My ancestors came and were stayed by the governor one after another. He led the mountain people to guard the exit of the Amon Mountains and prevented these barbarians from escaping from the Amon Mountains. The cottage with the stars to the north of the mountain is the defense line set by the governor. Even if he leaves in a hurry, he will not let his previous efforts be abandoned."

The expression on Harlan’s face is a bit complicated, because it is obvious that the ancestors of their family are an abandoned son. To be precise, they are the people who were abandoned by the governor, but the old Harlan understands that the governor’s actions were not wrong at the time. There are some things. Someone must do it, and his ancestors were willing to do it.

"All the cottages and roads south of Nanjie Mountain were destroyed by the Governor. Since then, the cottage has been disconnected from the outside world. The Governor never returned, and the traces of the barbarians disappeared. Later these things were forgotten. Only our family can understand this history by relying on the notes of our ancestors."

After listening to Harlan’s story, Nord was a little silent~www.readwn.com~ The governor was really very decisive. He abandoned the car to protect the handsome and was very skilled, and he would not be a veteran on the battlefield, and to speak of it. These people are not cars, at best they are pawns, and Nord would do it if they encountered this situation, should they be.

Nord is still a little unbearable to ask himself, even if it is something that should be done, it is very difficult to actually do it. As the saying goes, kindness is not in the hands of soldiers, Nord is so hard-hearted now, and I hope that after more things pass by The heart will harden, no one is born with a hard heart, and some are just indifferent and rational after suffering.

　　 "Do you hate him? He abandoned your ancestors?"

After Nord’s eyes were a little guilty, although he didn’t know if the governor was his ancestor, Nord still wanted to say sorry to Harlan’s ancestors and the mountain people who stayed in the defense line, and was moved by their dedication. .

Although Nord knows that not everyone is willing, because the governor destroys the cottage and roads south of Nanjie Mountain, in addition to preventing the barbarians from coming out, it also cuts off the roads of these left-behind personnel. The governor can say that it is. He is cruel and ruthless to his own people. Now that he has decided to sacrifice, he will not stay alive.

　　 "He is right, isn't he?"

Harlan looked at Nord with a free smile, and did not answer Nord’s question directly, but Nord could understand that his feelings for the governor must be very complicated, and there must be hatred. After all, they have a family background. Generations have been trapped in the mountains because of the governor, but Nord can see from Harlan's feelings for him that he admires the governor at that time very much.
