Chapter 519: Warring States

Ten years later.
The passage of time in the mortal world was just a blink of an eye in the eyes of God. Before this moment, the Holy Land was thriving, and every day was stronger than the day before. At the very beginning of this moment, Marshal Thales was killed, and the Holy Land was plunged into civil strife.
When this moment is over, today, ten years later, the Holy Land has been completely plunged into war.
Five years ago, His Majesty King Irwin passed away, but the eldest son of the kingdom was disabled by a traffic accident three days before his succession, and lost the qualification to become a king.
There are three remaining heirs of the right age. The three are fighting openly and secretly, and no one accepts one. One year later, the Grisen Kingdom split into three, but they are still fighting each other. No one recognizes each other, and everyone wants to be orthodox. King Grison.
The situation in the southern kingdom of Gorok is very bad. General Gudank and General Dergan faced off for three years. In an assassination, Dergan was killed, but this did not calm the anger of Marshal Thales’ loyalists. A new leader soon appeared and continued to confront Gudanke.
In the following seven years, Gudank tried to drive Marshal Thales’ diehards out of Thales City. In the fifth year, he succeeded. Thales City’s diehard loyalties were basically eliminated, but these diehard loyalties were far away. Was not killed.
They dispersed into the surrounding towns, claiming to be the Brotherhood of Kings, calling the forces led by General Gudank the Kingslayers, and explicitly and secretly resisting the rule of Dergan.
But this is just a noble statement. The core personnel of the so-called Brotherhood may be the elites of the human race, but because of Gudank's years of encirclement and suppression, most of the new members that the Brotherhood has continuously absorbed are unemployed vagrants, gangsters, and gangsters.
Gradually, the Brotherhood became a disease in the southern part of the Holy Land, in order to maintain the strength against Gudank and maintain its own survival. They are doing all things evil, selling women and children, forcing prostitution, looting, and forcing civilians to open mines regardless of life or death. They are notorious.
As an opponent of the Brotherhood, General Gudank's reputation did not seem to be so good, planning to assassinate the great Marshal Thales. Becoming a king slayer caused the newly established Gorlock Kingdom to fall into such a chaotic situation that every victim would curse him for death in the middle of the night.
The times evolve in a chaotic situation. Ten years later, there are bandits and warlords in the Holy Land.
The big family wants to protect themselves. Had to form private armies, build fortresses, and defend their property with strong walls and armies.
Throughout the holy place, there are many fortresses, each working independently. In the history of the human race, the attack against each other was called the "Warring States Rebellion".
In the south, the Thales family left by Marshal Thales is such a big family.
Marshal Thales, the leader of the family, was killed. The family still stayed in Thales City at first, but half a year later, they voluntarily withdrew from Thales City and settled in a manor three hundred kilometers north of Thales City.
Out of respect to the great Marshal Thales. No one dared to clearly block the way of this family.
Even General Gudank did not do anything. In order to clear his innocence, he personally sent an army to the Thales family. The family was safely escorted to the manor, and the fifty kilometers of land around the manor was declared to be owned by the Thales family forever.
This manor, the fifty kilometers of land has become the foundation of the Thales family in the troubled times.
Three years later, a strong fortress was built here. Because the anti-magic technology used in the outer wall of the fortress made the wall show a light blue hue, the fortress was called the "Blue Stone Fort".
The outermost layer of the Blue Stone Fort is a trapezoidal wall with a height of 15 meters. The extremely strong, highly magic-resistant wall can withstand dozens of bombardments from the latest Ares artillery. of course. In these years, few people have the ability to make the Ares artillery. So Blue Stone Fort is very safe.
On this day, the guards on the high wall of the castle suddenly made a noise. They saw five combat airships over 20 meters in the sky flying towards the high wall of the castle.
The airship bears the lion emblem of the Blue Stone Fort, which is a combat airship of the Blue Stone Fort. Half a day ago, the airship team of the Blue Stone Fort set out to fight the invading Wolf Fort fleet at the border of the territory. There were nine airships that set off at the time, and I did not expect that four of them would have fallen during the First World War.
All of these airships were obviously damaged, and there were many scorch marks on the boats that were hit by artillery. Blood-red flashing lights appeared on one of the airships. It rushed to the front, and as soon as it docked on the airship seat on the high wall, the door was knocked open from the inside, and two strong soldiers carried a stretcher and rushed down.
They shouted as they rushed: "Go find the pastor! Where is the pastor? The castle lord is injured!"
There was a blood man lying on the stretcher. There was a huge blood hole on the blood man's right shoulder. Although it was blocked by a white cloth, he could still see blood pouring out of the hole. Judging from the clothes on this man, he is the third son of Marshal Thales, Grilock, and the most recent owner of Blue Stone Castle. He is only sixteen years old this year, and he has just succeeded to the throne for a year.
Because of the serious injury, Grilock's face was as pale as paper, and he almost lost consciousness. Although his large eyes were open, his expression had almost disappeared.
After a while, three priests of the Temple of War, dressed in red rims and white robes, rushed to the city wall with a man in a dark blue uniform.
"Quickly put the fort lord on the ground! Tent, quickly set up a tent for the fort lord to keep out the wind!" The priest who rushed in the front roared as soon as he came. He is the patriarch of the Temple of War, with high prestige. No one can challenge his authority.
The soldiers immediately followed suit. In less than a minute, a marching tent was set up, and the priest had already rushed into the tent and began to deal with Grilock's injuries.
Soon, there was already a large circle of people inside and outside the tent. Five minutes later, a woman with white temples was escorted by several elite guards on the high wall. When she came, the soldiers on the high wall It automatically made way for her.
This woman is no one else, but Mrs. Trisley, the widow of Marshal Thales.
Ten years ago, she was still a graceful woman, living a carefree, peaceful and peaceful life, but all this happiness has ended with the death of her husband. Today, ten years later, the tortured woman is obviously old, with more gray hair and obvious wrinkles on her forehead.
At this moment, her face was as pale as paper, with tears in the corners of her eyes. As soon as she came, she asked the previous man in the dark blue uniform: "Gudson, how about the castle lord?"
Gedofen is the general manager of the Blue Stone Fort. He is responsible for managing the civil affairs in the fort and giving some suggestions to the fort owner.
Ten years ago, he was responsible for the construction of the Blue Stone Fort, and he managed the Blue Stone Fort in an orderly manner. He never made mistakes. He was a very wise middle-aged man and was heavily relied on by the past generations of fort owners.
His face was also extremely ugly, he was silent when he heard the words, and shook his head for a long time: "Madam, it's hard to say."
Mrs. Trisley shook her body and almost fell. Fortunately, a girl in a blue dress next to her reached out to support her in time, and the girl comforted her in a low voice: "Mother, brother will definitely get better."
This girl is the youngest daughter of Marshal Thales, Weiwei, who is fourteen years old and has grown into a beautiful girl.
The little girl who grew up in suffering is precocious, and she deeply knows what it means for her brother to die in battle. The death of the only adult male of the Thales family will lead to the complete decline of the family.
"Brother, you must survive!" Although she was extremely anxious in her heart, the girl tried her best not to show all this because she had to take care of her mother.
The lady closed her eyes in pain, and prayed silently to the goddess of life she believed in. She only hoped that the goddess could hear her voice and not let her experience the pain of losing her third child.
Ten years ago, her husband died. Six years ago, her eldest son died in battle. Three years ago, her second son also died in battle. Could it be that she has not dared to think that her three sons will also be killed.
"God, when will our family's bad luck end?" Madam thought painfully.
At this moment, she suddenly felt heart palpitations, as if her soul was torn apart by a strong heart. If she raised her head in a sense, she saw that the tent door curtain in front of her had been opened, and the patriarch left. When he came out, his hands were bloody, and he didn't say a word, just shook his head.
The lady only felt dark in front of her eyes, and she fainted to the ground amidst a cry of exclamation. The elite soldiers who escorted her to the high wall immediately took a stretcher and, accompanied by a priest, sent her back to the castle.
The patriarch washed his hands and explained the situation to the director Gudofen: "The wound on the shoulder of the fortress made him lose too much blood, but this is not a fatal injury. The real fatal thing is the metal shrapnel inserted above his heart. This damaged his heart and took all his life for too long, and I can't do anything about it."
Godofen said with a heavy face and painfully: "The Marshal is an invincible God of War, why did his family suffer such bad luck?! Is this God jealous of him?"
He watched Thales’ sons grow up, one by one, from swaddling babies to growing up, and finally fighting to death at a young age. He has personally experienced ~EbookFREE.me~ this kind of heartache is hard to describe.
"Carefully, Godolphin, God will not be jealous of a mortal, mortals are his people, and a father will not be jealous of his son's achievements." The Patriarch warned in a solemn voice.
Guduofen knew that he had failed, so he bowed to the patriarch and confessed his crime.
Grilock died in the battle again, and there was only one heir to Thales left, and that was the marshal's posthumous son, Verando, who just turned ten this year.
Thinking of the boy with black eyes, Gudofen's spirit was slightly lifted: "Fortunately, the blood of the Marshal has not been cut off!"
But then he was full of anxiety: "But, Wilando is too young."
The soldiers of the Blue Stone Fort are fierce, the generals are fierce, and there are powerful enemies around the Wolf Fort. It is impossible to do without a strong commander.
Grilock died in battle, and the withered Thales family could continue to rule the Blue Stone Fort, and whether the leaders would recognize Wilando as their leader, it's hard to say. (To be continued)
