Three northern counties, Rimel City,

In late summer, the streets of Rimel are ablaze with red. The July red trees planted on both sides of the streets begin to bloom in the most charming colors in the season of late June.

Pieces of red leaves intertwined into patches of red clouds, rippling slightly in the cool summer wind.

From time to time, there will be withered red leaves, falling in the wind, spinning and flying to the shoulders of passers-by, causing people to have a daydream. From time to time, you can see sentimental people quietly sitting on the benches in the corner of the street. Sitting there, looking at the dreamlike and beautiful scenery in front of me, the whole street was dyed in a light red, as if there were endless flames beating slightly.

Since Rui Erdian moved to Rui Erdian, the red leaves of Rui Erdian introduced from the southern mountains have become one of the most famous scenery in the three northern counties. It is said that the reason why this garden-like city was built was because of Rui Erdian. Remel, the beloved concubine of the first king of Haqis the Great,

It was a Dorok princess from the southern mountains. This legendary beauty could eclipse all glory. She loved swinging under the red trees in her hometown. It is said that her happy and beautiful face even attracted the attention of the roadside flowerbeds. will bloom

In order to please his favorite concubine and relieve his increasingly serious homesickness, Emperor Haqis spent a lot of money to build the northern fortress Setvarin. At the same time, he ordered the best flower gardeners in the royal family to use all possible means to plant the red flowers in the Dorok Mountains. The tree was transplanted to the eastern region of Tvarin, which has a very close climate and geographical environment, and the area was named "Remel" after his beloved concubine.

Unfortunately, it was not as expected. With the fall of this talented and strategist founder of the country, his beloved concubine was finally killed by the second generation King Ruedian who succeeded him because of the cruel struggle for royal power.

Because she was so beautiful, even the executioner could not bring down the ax to cut off the beauty. In the end, he could only use a gauze to cover Remel's stunning face before killing this beautiful Dorok woman.

The bright red beauty's blood dyed the entire gauze red, just like the blooming mangrove flowers that filled the entire city. It is said that the gauze scarf was also secretly brought here by Princess Remel's maid, so that The soul of this poor and miserable Dorok woman can rest forever in a place similar to her hometown.

Every year, a large number of poets and nobles come to watch. In the entire northern region of the continent, the mangroves in Remel are the purest and densest. The red season is also the most popular, which happens to be in June and July in the summer. During this period, nobles from all over the mainland would choose to take a vacation here during this season, which indirectly promoted the huge demand and prosperity for luxury goods in the Rimel region.

But this year, the gorgeous mangroves are still blooming with an angry grace. Shrouded in the red leaves in full swing, Rymel can't hide a desolate atmosphere. All the streets are deserted and deserted. Except for some people watching fallen leaves, there were no people on the street.

Most of the originally dense shops on both sides of the street had their doors closed tightly. Only the soldiers patrolling back and forth on the street were all wearing simple cloth clothes and holding some simple weapons in their hands. Strong smell of leaves.

There are about 50 people in each team, and they are basically composed of young people in the city. The weapons in their hands are also various, including wooden sticks with spikes and scythes for cutting grass. Their teams mainly move along the city. They were walking back and forth on the main streets where several shops were located. From their nervous and serious faces, it could be seen that there was something wrong with Rimel City.

News that the Vecian army had attacked the northern county had spread throughout Rimel. As part of the three northern counties, the original 5,000 garrison in the city had been ordered to assemble to Rebogen further south.

As a commercial city, Rimel City does not have strong walls or fortresses, and the local lords have been arrested by the kingdom long ago. It is simply a joke to resist the occupation of the Vecians, so in a short time In the past few days, most of the more than 80,000 people in the city left at once. Some hid in inconspicuous and remote countryside, and some chose to risk crossing Rebogen to Palavon. Anyway, it was a miserable and desolate place.

In order to avoid bandits who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rob shops, the business associations in the city united and hired hundreds of young people who stayed in the city to form a self-defense force to protect their shops from being robbed.

It turns out that Rimir is not so deserted. Although commercial trade has been surpassed by Eberron and other areas of the critical Kingdom of Wikiia, as the trade output place closest to the grassland nomadic tribes in the northern region of Riedian, it is still the trading center of Riedian. An important base for people and northern tribes to exchange goods and horses, with a large trading volume.

When the Ruidian forces controlled the Aichmore area, a large number of horses were transferred to Aichmore in Rimel every year, and then transported to various places in the northern grasslands, becoming one of the indispensable sources of war horses for the Ruidian knights. First, at the same time, a large amount of salt, grain and other commodities were exchanged to the northern grasslands.

However, since the transfer station Aichmore was lost, and the East Court cavalry raided various parts of the north, the original transport roads were cut off, and the shop-gathered Remel was in deterioration. In order to escape the war and turmoil in the north, a large number of Remel merchants They all chose to leave, and most of those who remain in the city are smugglers.

The northern branch of the Brotherhood, the largest smuggling organization in Ruidian, is located here. In the face of the war that destroys everything, even smugglers walking in the darkness will feel fear.

In the hall of the Brotherhood, the head of the Northern Department, Jerina Rika, was looking at the secret document in her hand with a frown. This was a secret document transferred from the Vikia Business Alliance. The content of the document was only one "rescue the imprisoned Berlant Bonnie".

As Berlant Bonnie's former close friend, Jerina Rika had of course heard about the assassination of Paraven that shook the entire continent.

It was because of this incident that the famous first general of the continent, Vikia Falcon, even mobilized the whole country's troops to launch a large-scale invasion war against the declining Kingdom of Rieldian, which led to the current turmoil and unrest in Rieldian.

Some people said that the so-called revenge was just an excuse to go to war with the Kingdom of Rieldian. Others said that Falcon must have lost his mind and was willing to gamble the fate of the entire Vikia for a Rieldian woman.

But from a woman's perspective, Jerina Rika envied her close friend a little. If there was a man who was willing to launch a war of annihilation for revenge for her, then this woman's life would be worth it. ..
