The chaos illusory sky is covering the color monotonous land, pulled out presented in the field of vision to the color scenery lacks the sense of depth the condition, exuded the strangeness of being able saying that the breeze has been blowing, in the wind curled up the black dust in broken bits, in the dust seems to be hiding innumerable double peeping at Eyes Victoria stood, in this is flooding in the black and white bi-color world, always on the face of indifferent feel alienated also revealed a silk to be surprised unavoidably.
But for person who she brings the surprised feeling by her, a that character some active Half-Elf face happily stands there, black long hair as if mist and dust flutters in the air slightly, in the golden pupil brings to smile, the lower part condensed one group of not loose shadow fog, the whole person seemed changing to Shadow World Elf, fused with this black and white bi-color world to ingeniously one.
„...... The inconceivable strength,” Victoria calmly looked at Amber several seconds, acclaimed in a soft voice, „you were I have seen most powerful Shadow Master, no wonder Dark Crow will defeat in your hand twice. Duke Cecil hand/subordinate really no one is simple.”
„Many quarts two do not have the issue again, some ordinary rare people praised me,” Amber smiled complacently, „words saying that Dark Crow you mentioned I had the impression, was trampled two that by me from Shadow World- had the opportunity you to urge him, was really not good practiced two-handed sword long-handled hammer anything, the say/way of shadow possibly did not suit him......”
The familiar people know that Amber this opens mouth, once will start bb to change the subject quickly, basically few sentences will be meaningful, but Victoria too has not adapted to this Half-Elf rhythm obviously, a little dumbfounded, does not know how at the scene probably should continue this topic, but well in Amber bb will be by fits and starts, in a short time will unable to obtain to respond to her to jump over the mentality- this Half-Elf moved a hands and feet, will catch the eye to look to distant place that half collapsing, will present piles up one on top of another condition strangely the castle, using a criminal the tone that will prepare to commit a crime saying: „Do not waste the time, starting to work- that side should be the shadow of tulip fort shines.”
Victoria raised the head, saw that castle of path end: The black and white bi-color fragment piles up one on top of another in the gray-black land, in the remnants of destroyed buildings can also see the castle wall that some can distinguish, in this strange confused Shadow World, the tulip fort that partly destroys presents the obvious chaotic feeling, its part of structures seemed to have lost the material quality detail, another part of structures to violate the natural law the way to overlap and pile up, a painting of entire castle failure lost probably coordinated, only has, in addition complete Mage Tower and part attached tower also set up clearly behind the castle.
This is the first time that Victoria entered Shadow World- as frost mage, she is only restricted in some theoretical knowledge in the attainments on say/way of shadow, this mysterious strange world makes her open mind, makes her sigh side sets out this named „Amber” great strength of Half-Elf in shadow technique. She follows in Amber behind, depended upon the fast technique and wind the family technique and other magic spell in addition to hold to keep up with the footsteps of opposite party, simultaneously could not bear asks curiously: „Why do you follow Duke Cecil?”
The fish that Amber as if enters the water is skicing in Shadow World generally, the black smog that the body coerces flies upwards in the air recklessly, after she hears the Victoria words, is slightly excessive, on the face brings the smiling face of teasing: „What's wrong? To win over a popular actor from another company by offering higher pay?”
Victoria shakes the head seriously: „No, that is not the aristocrat behavior, if I really want to hire you, I will go to and Duke Cecil directly negotiate, sought information your opinion in a more formal occasion. I now am curious.”
„, Frank......, but the old steamed rice dumpling...... Gawain was different,” Amber smiled, „, if he wants to dig the talent, moreover is not possibly digs that type obviously through the talent who the upfront negotiation obtains, he will definitely lobby money buy public opinion drumming up support will of the people to win over various methods to use in secret nothing which is not.”
Victoria felt again the topic somewhat does not go, can only shake the head: „...... Our styles are somewhat different.”
„Therefore I am more suitable that side Gawain, does not suit in your type ‚legitimate’ side aristocrat,” Amber spoke thoughtlessly saying that „you did not ask why a moment ago I did follow Duke Cecil? Actually also has nothing, I dug his grave, then by the party was discovered gave to hold, actually I dug the grave to go to want at that time to hide.”
Victoria with astonishment looks at Amber, seemed confirming whether the opposite party is cracking a joke.
„Can't believe? But also is really such matter,” Amber did not care muddily is saying, „actually I was deducted from the beginning also support am not glad, at that time what I thought was pretends to comply, then did not pay attention to steal his money while Gawain to run, however I discovered a matter afterward: Cannot be victorious, cannot really be victorious, moreover cannot run away, I have to stay behind. Facts showed that I decided is very right initially- the second year wages rose.”
Victoria is listening to all these unemotionally, the look that but flashes slightly actually showed that she does not seem like like the surface such calm faint, she deeply looked at Amber one, exhausts possibly the gentle expression saying: „I never listen to some people to describe oneself giving loyalty to process to an aristocrat with this way, you............ are very special.”
„...... Duchess, you made a mistake a matter,” Amber stopped at this time suddenly, is gazing at Victoria, „I have not given loyalty to any Duke Gawain Cecil, I have not given loyalty to any aristocrat and his bloodlines family.”
The Victoria faint expression was broken, she somewhat with astonishment looks at Amber.
„I am not the aristocrat descendant, my extraordinary force half from the talent, half were taught and aristocrat from one collaborate the execution Thief, I have not naturally taken an oath to give loyalty to the qualifications that to the aristocrat, because I do not have the surname, moreover I do not need this qualifications,” Amber is saying at a moderate pace, „ at first, Gawain gives me one month wages of gold coin, therefore I am responsible for this gold coin, afterward the wages rose, I to rise the wages are responsible, he established the Cecil city afterward, the integration the Kant area, he was used the work to buy freedom by the serf, by. The civilians can walk in the paths, letting the merchant does not need to kowtow to the knight, I like all these, but my work maintains all these, therefore I start to be responsible for my work.
„ Afterward, he founded the Cecil duchy, there, the citizens can study, can work, from the year before last to last year, the winter of Cecil city no one starved to death, therefore I gave loyalty, I in gave loyalty to the Cecil duchy at heart secretly.
„ Duchess, I am not an aristocrat, even if Gawain will give me in the future the noble title, I could not become the standard aristocrats in your group of rules probably forever. I have not given loyalty to Duke Cecil, has not given loyalty to Cecil Family, has not given loyalty to any so-called honored bloodlines and title, although I respect at present Cecil Family everyone, but that is only because they are worth respecting, but I do not give loyalty to them, they also never request me to give loyalty.
Words that „ must speak, we only have a same giving loyalty to goal- we give loyalty, is thing that Gawain Cecil constructs, rather than he.
„Madame, if you cannot distinguish difference in this, that will fear us never to be a passer-by.”
Victoria calmly looks at present Half-Elf, after entering Shadow World, this Miss Half-Elf changes as if is not only the makings, little character, these words that but she spoke...... might as well be she usually in the sincerity think.
„I will try hard to attempt to understand.” Victoria said calmly.
„That was your issue. To be honest, I support do not like the aristocrat, overwhelming majority do not like, but in my eye were also many recently two exceptions, one is you, one is to light Belk of beacon-fire,” Amber has turned around , to continue to hurry along while said that „I have once felt the lofty virtue in aristocrat mouth to boast, but at least from you, I saw some actual things- on the other hand, Duchess, the individual cannot represent the whole, I still did not like the aristocrat.”
Victoria kept up with this Half-Elf footsteps again, she maintained some time silence, has not defended for the aristocrat system, has not as if had very deep prejudice Half-Elf to explain the significance of any bloodline inheritance to this to the aristocrat community at present, although she once cared to these things very much, however at this moment, she does not want to argue for these things unexpectedly.
After the silence, she asked a question: „Winter over the past two years, hasn't a Cecil city person really starved to death?”
„Naturally, we have the complete population statistics and control system, the death and birth of each population were the registration are on record.”
„How...... do you accomplish? Without aristocrat system......”
„Were you say the food supply or the population management?”
„Has.”
„, That must mention slowly,” Amber raised the head, looked at one already not too far collapsing castle, „since we should first start to say from the land and person's relations......”
......
City north the red maple tree the side plain, the Colgong river bank, Gawain stands in the observation post of frontline camp, is gazing at the wharf direction busy scene.
The fire and roaring flame scattered putrefication pollution on this plain, the Cecil regiment successfully seized one once to belong to the local Feudal Lord large wharf, after the intense transformation construction, the engineer troops is having in the foundation of wharf to expand the road surface old, reinforced the lithical trestle, making here turn into the temporary military wharf, at this moment the tank of neat arrangement moveed to these to reinforce the later trestle, the fully-armed soldier square formations lined up to go on board.
On the river surface of Colgong river, three Cecil main force battleships are far away from the place execution screening mission of trestle, but the light gunboat that a series of transforms the guard gunboat or the rear shipyard that rushes a job with the civilian boat the contact on the broad river surface to walk back and forth, several decks are broad, the hull well organized firm ships paste in the trestle edge, loads soldier and chariot that these are going on board.
These do not seem like like the cargo vessel of warship transformation military goods ship that mixes from the rear area-, although said that was transforms military, but because the time was limited, they actually just increased some steel plates in the key place of hull, welded one set to protect the shield generator on the hull, and installed one set to be able in the cabin with Pioneer establishes the connection the magic circuit terminal, even the basic armament system did not have( to increase armament system on meaning makes large-scale transformation to power keel, but the capacity of shipyard that side insufficient), their safeties, completely relied on the warship of escort.
These „armor transports ship” is the refugee who prepares to be used in shifting the northern area, at the beginning of the ground forces advance to the north then starts to transform, but when they transform finally completes, Gawain actually discovers in the contaminated zone almost not to have many refugees to be for the shift, therefore these ships were then used to the frontline transport various commodity supplies, but today, they also welcome the new duty: Sets sail with the Cecil fleet together, the full load chariot and soldier to the St. Sunil defense line, defend that important gateway.
This in the army by way of Colgong Hebei will only arrive in St. Sunil compared with the ground main force several days ahead of schedule.
The sound of footsteps from transmits behind, Philip arrives in the observation post, salutes after Gawain said: „Steel and iron ranger already delivers to nearby Victoria Duchess and Amber the tulip fort, the soldiers measured with the eye to confirm that Mage Tower is truly still operating, if all goes well, the news will be escorted to St. Sunil today.”
„Very good,” Gawain nods, „they came back, here should the shipment be also similar, happen to can go on board.”
Philip hesitated slightly, cannot bear repeatedly confirmed: „Do you really want to go together personally?”
Gawain smiled: „I have arrived here, what walks points also to distinguish toward north again?”
„Duty that but this leading troops must carry out difficult and dangerous- to support Royal Capital as soon as possible, it must be separated from the ground main force, after arriving in St. Sunil, it at least needs to fight single-handedly for five days far away from the situation of depot support. In worst situation, St. Sunil before this leading troops arrive was broken through, as the matter stands the leading troops were equal to that was delivered to monster encirclement ring most deep place directly-, even if has Pioneer and aurora and morning star two battleship shields evacuates, the army loses extremely will still be serious.”
„Therefore it needs a powerful ground commander,” Gawain looked at Philip one, „you must keep the following direction main force regiment, that remaining was I.”
„...... Truly so.”
„I will first go to the St. Sunil organization defense line, the firepower support of three main force battleships, the north side cannot have problems,” Gawain patted the shoulder of Philip with a smile, „you only need to continue to defer to plan to advance well, west bank the prepare coastal defense line, preventing these monsters to further pollute, finally, we converge in St. Sunil- closes up this blockade line.”
Then, he shouted the tone gently, said lightly: „But as for can Royal Capital fall to the enemy...... Victoria to believe that before that Beldwin and Wales can defend St. Sunil, I believe her one time.”
