Vol 3 Chapter 51: Blood Skull Valley (Part 1)

Ice Valley, the northernmost part of the Sacran Empire, the gate of and the world, and the final junction.
Or it is another name more remembered by the empire-"Blood Skull Valley".
In the sixth generation of the Sacran Empire, the "sage" Brandon I headed north with 50,000 troops, abandoned the defensive advantage of the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain, and unexpectedly played a war of gambling with the invading monster army here. At the cost of a giant dragon and two grand dukes, tens of thousands of armies had only two or three thousand people left, and even he himself was badly injured, so that in his later years he was unfortunate.
But no matter how much he paid, the result was that he won the final victory, and it was a victory that made him go down in history and will always be remembered by future generations.
No matter how many mistakes have occurred in the era when he was in charge of the empire, and how many disputes have been caused by his reckless actions, an unparalleled victory has changed everything. All correct and wrong actions are all classified as wise actions, leaving It is enough to allow a generation of people to trace back memories.
It also casts his prestige as a "sage".
It is not a benevolent monarch or a tyrant, but a "sage king"-praised forever by future generations. It can be said that the highest praise an emperor can receive, and the founding monarch of the Sacrament Empire has never received honor.
Even the Valley of Blood Skeleton has become a place of pilgrimage. Every year, some fanatical believers go northward, following the patrol rangers in the summer season to come here to worship the heroes, or simply join the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain. Legion.
But in fact, Blood Skull Valley is just like its original name "Ice Barren Valley", but it is just a slight protrusion on the northern ice sheet-just like Brandon I was not because of how special this place was, it just happened. Only by deploying all the troops and restricting the direction of the enemy's attack can they choose to use it as the final battle location.
In this cold wasteland, the flag of the Iron Crown again fluttered in the cold snowstorm.
Along the old road left by the old days, the team that was constantly gathering the scattered troops and advancing on the side finally reached the vicinity of the Valley of Blood Skeleton two days later.
The reason for saying "nearby" is because this area is very small, but it is also very large-strictly speaking, the "Blood Skull Valley" is just that protrusion, but in fact this place name usually includes all the surrounding areas. .
Because the church knight Naze suddenly left, Brandon lost his choice instantly; if he did not want to go back immediately or fall to the same end as the guards of the sentry tower, he must go north and join the army of the church as soon as possible to avoid the two sides There is a possibility of being broken by a head.
Brandon cannot risk losing half of his army and church knights, these are the few elite in his army-more importantly, they are the veterans who are really familiar with the north, and the remaining half of the main force are all from the south Legionnaires.
In order to cover the ground team, even the dragon, which was often "missing" the dragon, followed closely. The soldiers on the road often saw huge shadows passing over the ground, although the figure was huge and terrible. But a giant dragon protecting himself also reassured the soldiers.
After all, this is already the Valley of Blood Skeleton, and even if hundreds of ice werewolves or carrion monsters appear immediately, it is not surprising.
............................................................
"Although various literature and history books describe the north as hell, in fact, since the establishment of the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain, the empire has never faced the real" Evil God Invasion "-even the sixth generation His Majesty Brandon I During the Northern Wars, he did not really face the evil gods, otherwise he would never be able to return! "
On the way forward, Brandon was awkward on the horse, and introduced the "enemy" they were about to to the wizard advisor near him:
"Just like the reason why we call them" monsters ", it is also to distinguish them from the evil gods of the south, except for their strength, there should be no difference between the two. They are all legendary and terrible demons!"
apostle?
Recalling the serpentine rune left by Asriel on his wrist, Loren frowned alertly, as if he noticed something terrible.
"In the existing literature of the empire, the evil gods who destroyed the ancient dragon kingdom also paid a huge and heavy price, so they can only put their own power on a certain existing creature, and each of them Each has extremely special and powerful power! "
The crown prince shrugged his shoulders: "In a sense ... the real threat to the empire is to spread fear, it is these so-called 'evil apostles'-every invasion is dominated by them, not like many The imperial nobles believed that they were really so-called evil gods. "
"So, these so-called ... apostles." Loren asked quietly: "How many are there?"
"There are four evil gods destroying the Dragon Kingdom, as the book says." Brandon blinked:
"So there should be four apostles ... at least I know that."
Four evil gods, four apostles ... sounds like it is between yourself and Asriel.
Loren frowned, and the sudden amount of information at a time made him really confused, and even regretted why he did not choose history when he was in Wimpal.
"Actually, it's no surprise if you don't know it-it would be better to say that if you know this, it will really scare me!"
Perceiving the expression of his wizard advisor, the crown prince's mouth smiled a little: "Just now I told you that even in the imperial capital of Golovin, only the De Saalion family and a handful of dignitaries plus the top of the church understand it. ' The truth ', most of the history books will not record these! "
"Not even the soldiers who are standing at the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain?" The dark-haired wizard asked back.
"It should be said ... because they stick to this, they can't let them really know who their enemy is!" Brandon's expression was very serious once, pointing to a group of soldiers passing by:
"No matter how brave or meaningless they are, they are still ordinary people, they will still be afraid and afraid, and will be at a loss because they do not believe what is happening in front of them-the most important thing is to convince them that their enemy is just a mutant monster, It's better than telling them that the enemy is a group of evil gods! "
Loren frowned slightly, and he vaguely remembered what had happened in the ancient wood forest before-the elder elders of Morning Star Forest had made similar decisions.
Even at the last minute, they did not tell the brave elves and dancers that their real enemy was actually a falling evil spirit, who just regarded the war as another invasion of ogres.
"In this case, how did these so-called" apostles "be born?" Loren continued to ask: "And how did they or their army, those thousands of monsters appear?"
"I don't know, no one knows-just like the Dragon Kingdom thousands of years ago, they also don't know where the evil who brought the disaster for them came from."
Brandon shrugged his shoulders and smiled indifferently: "All we know is that these monsters are hovering in the ice field north of the Boundary Mountain, and they don't want to repeat the achievements they have completed thousands of years ago The Clan Empire and the whole world are destroyed! "
No, it's not like that.
These so-called evil gods are not brainless slaughter, they are just doing the last dying struggle in front of the glory of the Holy Cross ~ EbookFREE.me ~ use fear and deterrence to maintain their existence in the world, and will not die out completely.
Not coming, but "falling" into this world, there is a very obvious gap between the two.
In order to maintain their own existence, these demons and evil spirits can make all actions beyond imagination.
"And for us, all we have to do is to defeat their invasions time and time again, no matter how much they pay-just like the sixth-generation ancestor of my name."
He smiled and said, Brandon raised his right finger to the front, and the protrusion in the wasteland just formed a large gentle slope:
"Blood Skull Valley, here we are!"
