Evetrona's old stories

Neither side clashed again until the spring of the following year, but everyone could sense that the situation was growing tense—it was a contest, a fight to the death, there was no room for reconciliation, the pendulum of time would only stop when one side was victorious—and the real storm was coming.

Batina: We can't wait any longer. If we wait for them to act first, the situation will only become more passive.

Eve: What advice do you have?

Batina: Today, Asder's biggest advantage is the defense depth of its vast territory, which he has managed step by step... We are too far away from him, and it is impossible to go around the back of the fort and go straight to their lair.Our advantage lies in our Dragon Knights and Curse Knights—Aster has no missile troops, and Curse Knights cannot be overqualified and used only to defend against Dragon Knights, so air troops have a place to use. On the other hand, We now have a lot of wind and dew prestige, which can make the curse knight play the most effective, coupled with the air support of the dragon knight... If we step at every step and fight steadily, I think there is still a chance.

Eve: Where to start?

Batina: Of course it is Haiqibao.

In late spring and early summer, the weather is getting hotter and the roads are no longer muddy.Southwest City has become their main stronghold. Food and grass are transported here from the east, and soldiers are recharging their energy here. When everything is fully prepared, they can come out of the mountains, bring the best of the best, and aim at The first obstacle on the way to the conquest - Asder's Heiqibao.

With sufficient troops, Batina will be able to perform at a better level.Fifteen days of travel, three days of rest, and two rounds of attacks - on the day of the attack, there was a huge gap in the defense of Haiqibao. A breakthrough in the entire line of defense.

That night, they attacked Haiqibao, but the loss of their troops was minimal.

Batina: Actually...you can stay at Haiqibao instead of following.

Eve: I'm still a little uneasy.

Long Ke: You are the commander, if something happens...

Eve: We're putting all our eggs in one basket right now, all the belongings are here, if you fail, you fail.

Batina: I see, let's go... just do your best.

After counting the results of the battle, the three of them did not stop here. They led the army to continue to advance northward, and took down an important coastal town on the side of Asder in one go.Victory is inspiring, its momentum is unparalleled, and it is unstoppable.

This is the territory of the Empire, where blue and brown dragons roam.Under the setting sun, the sky was full of wind and sand, and it was July. The march was long and arduous.

Batina: That city, the main force of Asder is waiting for us here.

Longke: I'm a little nervous.

Eve: Everything has an end, let's go.

The east of Alderam - the exotic Sail White Isle, is like a big ship sailing on the sea.It is summer now, the ocean in the east stretches across the land, and the clear water is rippling, supporting this white lonely shadow.

On the cliff, Asder and his men overlooked this small land.

Akanlu: The land they chose is not bad.

Asde: If you want to attack here, you can only wait for autumn and winter, when the sea recedes, everything will go according to plan.

Turif: I don't know if Golta and Rumis can hold them back for so long in the west.

Asde: Our elites are also there. If they can get away so quickly, then attacking the imperial capital is no problem—this is a race to see if they reach the imperial capital first, or we break through the foreign land first—but, They gave up their base camp, but we did not give up the imperial capital, the result can be imagined.

The combination of Golta and Rumis has brought great troubles to Batina.One is well-informed and has extraordinary brainpower; the other is resourceful and decisive, and uses soldiers like a god-seeing that he is approaching the imperial capital, but Eve Fang is stunned and can't get closer. The pursuit of the dragon knight and the defense of the curse knight ... This place is like a muddy swamp, which can neither stop nor escape.

Batina: It seems that if we don't pay some losses, we won't even think about leaving here.

Longke: Tell me—is Asder trying to drag us here?Now that summer is almost over, their methods are still so passive.

Batina: Maybe it is possible, but their Dragon Knights, Cursed Knights, and Demon Sword Army are all blocked here now, if they want to send troops elsewhere, what else can they have?At this time, Fanbai Island is still guarded by a part of our Demon Sword Army. Could it be that such a city can be taken down with a group of regular troops?

Longke: Who says it can't, don't forget, this is what he is good at.

Batina: It's too late to discuss these.If they really have the ability to do this, then there is nothing we can do - don't worry about Hertzick and the others, it's better to focus on the present.

The battle line was still advancing slowly. After several conflicts, Batina found that Rumis's tactics seemed to be different from the past. The frequent temptations and harassment were like swaying waves, which seemed extremely ferocious, but each time they were on the verge of leaving.

Batina: I see...

Longke: What's wrong?

Batina: Those curse knights are not real curse knights.They held sticks and wore white clothes, but they couldn't exert [-] to [-]% of their strength... I guess, at least [-]% of the spellcasters there were ordinary soldiers pretending to be.

Eve: How could they do this?

Batina drove the dragon knights to fly straight towards Rumis' Cursed Knight team, intending to annihilate these fakes, but at this moment, the ballista and archers who had been ambushing behind them for a long time shot arrows into the sky.

Under the rain of arrows, Batina quickly retreated.

Longke: There are lies in the truth, and the truth is hidden in the false.

Batina: It seems that what you are worried about is about to happen—Aster must be attacking our east now, and we are trapped here.

Not only the front, but now there are also ambushes behind.

Eve: A letter came from Lafaqin... The seawater in the east has receded, and Asd is preparing to attack Fanbai Island. It won't last long, more than ten days at most.

Batina: More than ten days... Including the delivery time of the letter, I am afraid that the time we can use now is only a little over a week.We are in the northwest and they are in the southeast. Even if we are not trapped now, it will be too late for the dragon knight to fly over.If Fanbai Island falls, there will be no combat power in the east, and we will have nowhere to stay.

Longke: Although I don't want to say something depressing, but...

Batina: Then don't say it.

In the dark of night, a bonfire was lit in the camp, and the three of them sat together, with a golden and purple moon above their heads—in a daze, it was already September.

This battle has been fought for three years, and it seems to be over.

Longke: Let's talk about something else... There is always a reason for war, either actively or forcedly.On an organizational level it's true, and on an individual level it's pretty much the same - either enlisted or involved - Batina, you're joining a war, what's your reason, or What do you want to get out of it?For the name?For profit?

Batina: For nothing else, I shed the blood of the knight family and protect my homeland. This is a responsibility.

Long Ke: (laughing) That's for fame, to put it mildly, to maintain your family's honor.

Batina: You are right in saying that, I do not deny it.

Longke: So, you are for fame - but I am for profit.

Eve: What is it?

Longke: Profit is benefit.

Eve: (laughs) Of course I know, don't talk nonsense - what do you want to gain from a war?

Longke: Who knows, if I participated in a war, and I was not forced to help, then the war must be good for me, otherwise I would not be here at all, I would run away of.

Eve: So that's what you meant.

Longke: What about you?Why are you involved in a war?

Batina: (to the side) So that's the point of his topic.

Eve: I won't participate, not for fame or profit - if life can be healthy and prosperous, then it's good to be safe.

Batina: But before you have a family, you need a country.If there are no brave defenders ahead, greedy foreigners will rush in, and by then all comfort will be in vain.

Longke: If it was in this land, maybe these words would make sense. At that time, there were tribes and city-states, and people united together to resist barbarians and foreign enemies.In that era, the invaders were all lazy and lazy people. They coveted fish and fine wine, and although they were strong and strong, they only robbed others of their achievements—but what about now?Who started the war?Who died?Who is the one who gained fame or wealth? ——The ones who started the war were all greedy and evil-hearted people, the ones who lost their lives were kind and cowardly civilians, and the ones who reaped fame and wealth were mostly short-sighted but pretentious dignitaries.There were corpses everywhere and rivers of blood flowing in front of them, but they could rest in peace and earn a lot of money.That being the case, who are we fighting for?

Batina: At least for your family, for your friends, loved ones, but also for yourself.If it's for them, I don't mind letting more strangers suffer and feel remorse -- even if they're spurned afterwards.

Longke: (Thinking) Indeed, this is not a kind of nobleness.

Eve: Let's start with the gossip. I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work.

Longke: What's your idea, tell me?

Eve: That's right...

They talked for a long time.

Batina: Terrible woman.

Long Ke: I have never thought about it like this, and I dare not think about it, but I just want to say... In this situation, Your Highness is wise.

The sky is bright and clear, the purple moon hangs high on the top, and Fanbai Island stands at the junction of the sea and the shore.As far as the eye can see, the sparkling light and the swaying shadow of the moon are like a dreamy scene.For Asde, that virginal white shadow is now within easy reach.

A white light appeared, rose from the top of the isolated castle, struggled to climb towards the sky, and then exploded suddenly, forming a bunch of extremely magnificent magic fireworks.

Astor: What are they doing?

Turif: Fireworks... Could it be to celebrate the Ming Festival?

Ast: The Ming Festival has already passed, and the magic fireworks of this scale will consume a lot of Fengluwei-they are vainly consuming the defense of the city.

Turif: I probably gave up on myself. If I had encountered this kind of predicament, maybe it would be like this.

Akanlu: But not necessarily, I know Eve, she is not the kind of person who can give up easily.

Turif: Maybe it's just playing tricks, thinking that it can delay time.

Ast: How's it going in the capital city?

Turif: The Golata just sent a letter - everything is under control, their main force is still trapped there.

Asde: That's good, we can't slack off, Akanlu, mobilize, let's prepare for the next round of attack.

Sail White Isle is still under attack.And since that night, dazzling fireworks have been blooming over the lonely castle—from night to day, from day to night.

[152] Crimson Sky (Part Fourteen)

The game is on the fourth day.

At this moment, Asde seemed a little distracted.It wasn't because of any reversal in the situation, but because of the referees sitting behind the long table.

After the preparations for the last round ended, a group of referees, including chief referee Lauslow, whispered there. They had serious expressions and seemed to be arguing. This was the first time Asde encountered such a situation in all the games from the beginning of June to the present.

Seeing that he was in a daze, Huo Lien gave a clear cough, and then Ast turned his head away from looking at the referee.

He couldn't figure it out for a while, but in order not to affect his teammates around him, he didn't say anything.

The battle on Fanbai Island is still going on, this is the No. 12 day of the siege, and the barrier on the city wall is getting thinner and thinner, so it must not last long.

In order to relieve the anxiety in his heart, Asder adopted a more violent offensive, and at a certain moment, the gorgeous fireworks finally stopped rising above the castle, but they were even more surprised.

On the blue dome of the sky, a group of erratic clouds were descending. When they got close, Asde realized that it was actually a group of galloping dragons.

The horn of retreat sounded at this moment, but it was too late—the rain of angry fire fell from the sky, and the blazing fire of vengeance burned the invaders' backs.The curse knight raised his staff, but he himself became a burnt offering first; the sappers hurriedly set up the crossbow bed, but the crossbow strings were broken in the flames;

The gates of the city were opened, and the warriors guarding the city rode towards the fleeing enemies, intending to harvest the last prey.

Without effective anti-air measures, the situation was out of control.Asdefang received a painful lesson. They recovered the remnant soldiers as much as possible, and fled towards the west without looking back.

Asde still had doubts in his heart, and it was not until the second day after the rout that they received an urgent report from Goltar—it said that Eve Fang's dragon knight set a fire in the imperial capital, and then disappeared.

"The time of writing the letter was six days ago, and the night before, this team of dragon knights was still setting fire to the capital, that is to say, it took them only three or four days to traverse the entire map-this is Is it possible?" Asde couldn't bear it anymore, he got up and questioned the referee face to face, but his tone was calm.

"In every round, every change on the sand table is verified and approved by our referee team. There is absolutely no mistake...Do you have any questions?" The person who answered him was Lauslow.

"Sorry." After listening to Asde, he slowly sat back in his original position.

The game was still going on, but there was a lingering impatience in Asder's heart.

His attitude became negative. Although he was also trying to restrain himself, his teammates still noticed it.

"There's no need to go any further, Asder." Hollien said, and his words made Asder feel relieved.

"We admit defeat." He stood up and said to the referee.At this moment, everyone present felt an unreal feeling of trance.

In terms of strength, Asder may still have a chance, but he has lost his mentality first.

It was a quarter past ten in the morning.

Batina was so excited that she punched Eve, and her arm hurt so much—it turned out that this woman is such a virtue when she is happy.

Akanlu, who was sitting opposite, wanted to laugh, but after feeling the dull atmosphere around her, she just made a face at Eve. She moved her lips, and Eve read her mouth shape from it: "Little Fool".

"I know that most of the people present probably don't know what happened just now. After all, we have been communicating with the contestants through secret channels. To be honest, when we learned of Eve Fang's actions, we were also very puzzled, and even had complete doubts about her plan, so we had to ask her to explain more." Lauslow explained to the audience and the contestants: "After careful deliberation and His Excellency Shilin's affirmation, we finally made a 'effective' judgment on their plan. I heard that the plan was conceived by Eve alone. , This made us feel very surprised—because the effect of this plan is not only surprising, but can even be described as 'horrible'." Speaking of this, Lausrow stared at Eve, his eyes were stern, but after a while, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again, "The clerk has sorted out the written record of this action separately, and gave it to the adults first, but what I didn't expect is that their reactions to this report are also different—it can be said to be mixed."

Speaking of this, the "big shots" sitting in the room - Shi Lin, Huo Lien, Feng En, and Luo Tilan all smiled knowingly.

*Rouslow himself read the text, some excerpts of which follow. *

Eve: I thought you would refuse to carry out this operation. I proposed the plan that night, but you were very resistant.

Batina: Don't get me wrong, I was just questioning the feasibility of this operation, not a moral criticism, you know, I thought you were joking at first.

Eve: Actually, I don't want to do this either, if this is a real war...

Batina: This is a war... a real war.There is no right or wrong, you can do anything to win... this "is" war.

Eve: It's getting late at night, it's time to go, I wish you the best of luck.

Batina: With your plan in place, how could it not be smooth sailing.

Under the night, Batina flew to the north with the dragon knights, and the thin clouds covered the shadows on the ground.They stayed away from the ground and flew towards the brightly lit place, and behind them, Rumis' dragon knights also smelled the scent and followed them cautiously.

To the north of the imperial capital is a demilitarized zone, where the dignitaries of Alderam live, and to the south, there are densely populated civilian areas and markets.In the middle of the night, the citizens have already fallen asleep, but the lights are still on on the streets.

In the silent night, there was a sudden soft noise, which didn't alarm anyone at first.The sound was crisp, like the sound of raindrops hitting metal utensils.

Then there were a few more sounds—like crows flapping their wings, rustling, endlessly.
