Sword of Daybreaker

The weather is getting warmer and the snow is melting.

The ice and snow on the northwest highland melt into a meandering stream. The stream is concentrated and infused into the river. It is divided into several branches in the low-lying area in the south of the Jumudaokou. It flows along the terrain to the southeast. The low-lying waterways are irrigated near the giant wooden crossing. Out of a fertile soil, it has become one of the largest grain-producing areas in the Holy Spirit Plain, and it has become a place where the Eastern Rebels and the Royal Army have repeatedly competed.

The war has been burning very close. It has been extinguished briefly in the winter, but as the weather gets warmer, the haze of war returns to the land with the re-rising river in the river.

Sam, who had gray hair, came to the upper reaches of the river with his children. Last year, the stones piled on the "rich harvest stone" were especially few, but most of them were kicked by the animals who passed by here. Underneath the remaining stones, you can still see some rough nicks, and depict the sacred emblems of the rich three gods in a rough way.

Sam stepped forward and cleaned up the stones of the previous year on the harvest stone with a near-respectful attitude. Then he took out the red **** grass with him and squeezed the grass juice on the emblem of the rich three gods. The son picked up a new, suitable size stone from the nearby river bank and placed it on the top of the harvest stone, piled up into a small pile. After doing this, the youngest daughter came over. Put a green branch in the middle of the stone pile.

Sam bowed his head and whispered: "The goddess of spring, you are the first messenger of the month of recovery. May the red **** grass dye your skirt and lead you to this land..."

Several children bowed their heads together and prayed with their father.

In the human faith, the abundance **** is composed of three different goddesses. The long sister is the goddess Gaia, also known as the **** of life and the mother of the earth. She is in charge of the whole earth and all the plants that grow on the earth. The harvest goddess Eve is the sister of the earth goddess. She specializes in the crops in the plant to protect the mortal harvest. The spring goddess Flora is the youngest of the three gods, but also the most lively one.

Ansu people believe that whenever the month of recovery comes, when the earth melts and snows, the spring goddess Fuluola will be the first to run out of her palace, to the land to find evidence of the end of winter, red **** grass can cause The goddess' attention, the earliest returning green shoots of the month of recovery can make her happy, she will remember the position of each green branch, and after returning to the palace at the end of spring, she will tell what happened on the earth. The harvest of the harvest goddess farmers is guaranteed for one year.

Almost all the peasants believe in the rich three gods, even if they are also believers of the Holy Light or the Blood God, they will not ignore the worship of the rich gods in the spring of each year.

But just relying on over three or five pounds of food... can you really live with peace of mind?

After the short prayer, Sam looked up and looked at the green branches that were gradually turning into dust and drifting in the middle of the stone pile. "The goddess has accepted our offering, and this year's harvest will not be bad."

"The harvest last year was not bad, but it was still hungry," the eldest son whispered. "The goddess can only bless the harvest, and can't be hungry."

"Don't talk nonsense in front of the gods!" Sam immediately turned his head and glanced at his son. "That's because the nobleman is fighting, we certainly have to pay for food!"

The two sons glanced at each other, and then the younger son spoke up: "Father, I saw the soldiers again when I went out today. They passed by on the north side of the boulevard and went east."

"That was the cavalry of Count Sorin," Sam said, shaking his head. When he was a farmer for a lifetime, he dared not relate to the nobles. "You didn't provoke them?"

"I am far away!" The little son's head swayed hard. "They are scary and still screaming at swords they have never seen before, wearing armor that they have never seen before, riding on the big horse, and being fierce."

"...the weather is warmer every day, I am afraid I have to fight again."

Sam groaned, he knows what the so-called swords and armor that the younger son had never seen before. He meant that a few days ago he had seen a group of knights passing by the village, and the knights were wearing different equipment from last year. It is said that the swords and armor are from the south, and Count Sorin seems confident that the weapons created by the southerners can help him regain his territory and fortress, but these things are really for the people who plan to eat in the field. Not easy to understand, but also not interested in understanding.

He only hopes that this battle will be finished quickly, or at least not to continue to fight here, or Wang Guojun will quickly expel the Dongjing people, or the Dongjing people will quickly drive the Wang Guojun away. It is not important to lose anyone.

Last year, the army of the Dongjing people hit the front of the giant wooden crossing. Earl Sorin said that he wanted to organize the defense, and he collected a wave of food from the neighboring village. As a result, he did not hold it at the end, or was attacked by the Dongjing people.

After entering, Prince Edmund confiscated the grain, but grabbed one-third of the village's young and strong to repair the road, and there were several people who died outside.

Halfway through the road, the kingdom and the holy army were screwed back together and drove the Dongjing people out of the giant wooden crossing, but this is not a good thing for the knights and pastor priests who support the holy army, Count Sorin. Also received a wave of food.

Last year was a bumper harvest, an unprecedented bumper harvest, and the family received 20% to 30%.

There are ten starved to death in the village, and eight roads are exhausted.

So don't blame the son for saying so bold words in front of the gods.

"Go home, don't meet the ghosts and evil spirits later," Sam shook his head and grabbed the tattered hat and buckled his head. "There are too many dead people recently, and the night is getting worse." Taiping."

The children followed the father's footsteps and walked in the direction of the village along the relatively flat rocky beach on the river bank. The little daughter followed behind the two brothers and suddenly curiously asked: "I heard that John next door was chosen. Going to be a soldier, the Cavaliers honoured their two bags of wheat, and they have not paid taxes this year..."

"Don't think about it!" Sam heard the sound coming from behind him and immediately glanced back. "Now it's a real fight. When the soldiers are desperate to fight with the East, they accidentally die outside and they just die." You two disappointing brothers, you see their thin arms and legs, the Cavaliers will see it?"

The little daughter was shocked and shrank her neck and didn't dare to scream.

The smoke rises from the front, and the wooden fence at the entrance of the village enters Sam's sight.

A horse riding a high horse, wearing a stylized armor with a rune, a cavalry with a black one-handed sword at his waist is stopping at the entrance to the village. After seeing Sam and others, the cavalry immediately raised his hand. Whip: "Some of you, come over!"

Sam’s heart suddenly became tight.

Also need to collect food? This winter has just passed... How can there be food at home? !

But he still did not dare to neglect, and quickly brought his children to the cavalry, and stopped at a distance that would not be kicked by the horse and hit by the whip. He said deeply: "The knight."

This is just a horse-riding soldier. Look at the fully armed look. At most, it’s a small captain in a soldier. It’s definitely not the same as the “Knightmaster” who is truly aristocratic, but even Sam knows this. Also respect the other side of the "Knight", this is very good for horse-riding soldiers, and even if someone is pursued, he can use his stupid, do not understand the rules to cover the past.

The cavalry was very useful. The fully armed man's mouth curled up and nodded with satisfaction. Then he pointed the two sons behind Sam with a whip: "Do you have two sons?"

"Yes...yes..." Sam nodded again and again. "They are all honest young people..."

"The honesty is good, the thing is to be honest," the cavalry raised his chin. "Choose one, your son is called."

"Ah...ah?" Sam looked up in amazement. After a short mistake, he finally panicked. "Master, they... they can't beat them! You see their arms and legs, and they are standing at this stop." The station is not straight, if it is on the battlefield, it will be a small matter. I am afraid that even the weapons will not be able to get up, and the lord will be shameful!"

"On the battlefield? Are they also equipped?" The cavalry waved his whip in his hand and said impatiently, "They are going to work!"

Sam was shocked by the voice of the whip, but still boldly asked: "Working... What do you do?"

“The road was built,” the cavalry said loudly. “According to the order signed by the Duke of Victoria, Victoria Verde, Berdwin Franklin, and the Prince of Wales, the loyal Hussein of the Kingdom Road has listed your family. defy!"

The cavalry went away.

This is the 15th anniversary of the recovery, the Ansu traditional festival recovery festival, on this day, the kingdom avenue that has been abandoned for a century has finally begun to be rebuilt.

It was also on the same day that after a period of intensive preparations, the “Baisha Mining Company”, led by the Minister of Commerce, Padrick, finally selected the first mining site in the white sand hills of Dongjing.

The young knight, Belk Lauren, stood on the high lookout and watched the Cecils busy between the mountains and rocks in the distance: as the messenger of the East and the South, appointed as Prince Edmund The "representative", the young man fulfilled his duties meticulously, paying close attention to the activities of the Cecil people in this land. It is also his work to watch the excavation site of the first mining point of the Cecil.

For the Cecils from the southwest, Berkrolen always maintains a three-point trust with seven points of vigilance. He knows what the founding Duke had done in the South: a violent use of force to destroy the entire southern aristocracy within a year. The system, who attacked and occupied the Rock Fortress in three days, could never be a good person. He sent a “Baisha Mining Company”. Although it was only mining in name, who knows whether these Cecils will Infiltrating everywhere, will the land near the white sand hills be turned into the Cecil people by gradually phagocytizing and encroaching?

After all, there is only one river and a small piece of wood separated from the Gülen collar on the border of the Principality of Cecil.

Below the observatory is a temporarily built mine camp. The Cecils have transported a lot of strange equipment through the Gülen area. They laid the magic net in the mine, built the board room, and cleared it. A simple road, although the tools and construction plans they use are very strange, but at least until now, these southerners have done only the necessary preparations for “mining”.

"The Marquis of Berck, I hope this mine can satisfy your curiosity," a voice came from the side. "After all, in such a barren hill, there is really no scenery to see."

He is talking about a thin and dark man named Holm. Belk Lauren knows that this young man who is not even surnamed is the head of the "Baisha Mining Company" and is a "mining expert" sent by Cecil. He didn't know why managing such a huge industry and directing hundreds of workers would be a civilian, but he nodded politely to Homm: "I don't look at the scenery myself, I just take a look. Please don't care about my mines directly, but I must emphasize that although the mining rights have been given to you, this is still the land of the east, and I am responsible for every inch of land outside the mine."

Holm nodded: "Of course, Mr. Marquis, we only mine, we are not interested in any land outside the mine and the road."

In the distance, the Cecils who were busy between the mountains and rocks finally completed some sort of preparatory work. With the loud whistle and a few loud flutes, the miners in the rags quickly ran to the mountains. The rock is far away, hiding behind a huge stone.

Belk looked at the scene with astonishment, and in any mining process he knew, he could not see a similar situation: "What are they doing?"

Holm laughed. The man who had been a slave worker had never had such a big smile in his life: "Mining."

In the distant mine, some people waved a few high-profile flags on the high ground, and all the miners near the mountain rock smashed their ears.

Belk Lauren looked curious: "Mining?"

The loud noise of the sky came from afar.

Then there were more loud noises, and there was a bang, as if thundering.

The entire observatory trembled slightly in this continuous loud noise. Under the more terrible impact than the blasting technique and the earthquake, the distant mountain rock that required hundreds of people to excavate for a whole month collapsed.

Berk almost had a sword in his hand, and in the creaking of his ears, he heard the voice of the head of the White Sands Mining Company:

"Yes, mining, we only mine, Mr. Marquis."
