Lord of Riding and Slashing

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

The old man Harlan slowly told Nord what he said he knew, and his eyes were full of longing. Even though he was old, he recalled the history recorded on the parchments he saw when he was young. Old man Harlan still felt his blood boil.

Elder Harlan's story is more detailed than Stina's, probably because Harlan's information is more complete, and Nord also knows 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 Erisin's empire was not at the foot of the Amon Mountains, but was still some distance away from the Amon Mountains, but there were some similar things, such as Barbarians are very cruel indeed.

Because the buffer zone of the Amon Mountains is actually the plundered area of ​​some barbarians who can't live in the Amon Mountains. The barbarians who live in the mountains from the beginning to the end have no moral concepts. They believe in the law of the jungle that preys on the weak , so the mountain people in the land near the Amon Mountains are indeed living in dire straits.

The reason for the outbreak of the war was that a barbarian plundered across the border. He attacked a small village in the Erisin Empire. After that, as mentioned above, 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 flag of the governor was drawn on the parchment by my ancestors. I was deeply impressed by it. It was a flying Amon eagle. The governor was also called the eagle of the empire. His character was very tough. , and brave and good at fighting, sometimes even His Majesty the Emperor would give him three points."

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

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

Moreover, Nord also learned from Harlan that when the war just started, it was not just as simple as being unsuccessful. If it weren't for the strong strength of the northern border of the empire and the prestige of the governor, it is estimated that the army of the empire would be defeated. , they didn't expect the barbarians' fighting power to be so strong.

Almost all the troops that fought head-on with the barbarians were defeated. They felt that they were not fighting humans, but fighting a monster. Only those elite soldiers and knights who followed the governor to fight north and south could overcome the fear in their hearts. Bravely inflict heavy damage on those barbarians, otherwise the situation will collapse even more seriously.

The later situation was just like what Stina said. The governor used the strength of the mixed-race mountain people and the advantages of long-range archers to drive the barbarians deep into the mountains.

"You don't know how grateful and adoring the mountain people were at that time. The governor, as long as it is in the direction of the Falcon flag, there must be countless mountain people gathered here. The protracted war has made the land of the Amon Mountains stained red with blood. , The scene at that time is all recorded in my ancestors' notebooks, each of them is very proud, under the leadership of the governor, they defeated the powerful barbarians."

"And then, what happened to those barbarians?"

Nord is very concerned about this issue. The last time Stina stopped talking at this point, because he didn't know what happened later, because this history seemed to be hidden. Harlan looked at it calmly. Nord glanced, and then said calmly:

"My ancestor was a knight under the governor's command at the time. 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 fleeing barbarians in the mountains. They retreated directly with the army."

There was also a hint of confusion on the old man Harun's face. It was obvious that the iron-blooded governor was not an indecisive person. From his previous actions, it could be seen that he really wanted to drive out these barbarians, otherwise It will not chase to the depths of the Amon Mountains.

"My ancestors were left behind by the Governor. He led the mountain people to guard the exit of the Amon Mountains, preventing these barbarians from escaping from the Amon Mountains. The densely populated cottages to the north of the mountain are the governor's line of defense, and even if he leaves in a hurry, he will not let his previous efforts go to waste."

The expression on Harlan's face was a bit complicated, because it was obvious that the ancestors of their family were abandoned sons. To be precise, they were abandoned by the Governor, but the old man Harlan understood that the Governor's actions at that time were not wrong. Someone had to do it, and his ancestors were willing.

"All the villages and roads south of the South Boundary Mountain were destroyed by the governor. Since then, the village has been cut off from the outside world. The governor never came back, and the traces of the barbarians disappeared. Later, these things were forgotten. Only our family knows this history through the notes of our ancestors."

Nord was a little silent after listening to Harlan's narration. This governor is really very decisive, and he is very skilled in abandoning his car to protect his commander. He will not be a veteran in the battlefield, and these people are not considered It's a car, at most it's a small pawn, if Nord encounters this kind of situation, he should do the same, right?

Nord still can't bear to ask himself, even if it is a matter of course, it is very difficult to do it in practice. The heart will harden, no one is born with a hard heart, some are just indifferent and rational after going through disasters.

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

Nord's eyes were full of guilt. Although he didn't know if the governor was his ancestor, Nord still wanted to say sorry to Harlan's ancestors and those mountain people who stayed behind the line of defense, and was also moved by their dedication. .

Although Nord knows that not everyone is willing, because the reason why the Governor destroyed the cottages and roads south of the Southern Boundary Mountain, in addition to preventing the barbarians from coming out, is also to cut off the roads of these left behind. This Governor can be said to be He is ruthless, and he is also very cruel to his own people. Now that he has decided to sacrifice, he will not leave any way to survive.

"He's right, isn't he?"

Harlan looked at Nord's eyes and smiled freely, 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, their 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 admired the governor at that time very much.
