"Then why did Lionheart King Raul's shield... wander out..." Guo Zheng asked.
Archbishop Eliade shook his head and said: "It was not exiled, but the Lion-Hearted King Raul gave this shield to a guard."
Archbishop Eliade then started talking.
It is said that 7 years ago, the Holy Light Empire was not a unified empire, but several royal cities were divided and autonomous. They only formed a loose alliance. They usually developed on their own until there was a threat from foreign invasion. Let's gather together to fight against foreign enemies.
However, since there are several scattered royal cities, there will inevitably be some kinship and distance. In the end, the Holy Light Alliance, dominated by Holy Light City, and the Hurricane Alliance, dominated by Hurricane City, were formed.
At first, everyone just took sides. Later, the rulers of Hurricane City became a little dissatisfied. They felt that Hurricane City should occupy more land, and Hurricane City and the others were inside the mainland, unlike Holy Light City, which was close to the ocean, so Hurricane City also I want to have a port of my own.
Hurricane City began to send people to negotiate, hoping that Holy Light City would cede part of its territory to Hurricane City, and then Hurricane City would pay a certain amount of money to Holy Light City every year.
Originally, these things were negotiable. As the governor of Holy Light City at that time, Raul would also put the overall situation first.
But Hurricane City's appetite is too big. Originally, there were six ports distributed along the coastline within the area under the jurisdiction of Holy Light City. Hurricane City took away four ports at once, leaving only two for Holy Light City, and one of them was a military port of Holy Light City that was not open to the public at ordinary times. And although it is said that gold coins will be paid every year, the number of gold coins is not as much as the profit from leasing two ports, let alone ceding them.
This made Raul, the consul at the time, furious. This was simply the end of Holy Light City. Because it was close to the sea, Holy Light City was also civilized by maritime trade at the time. This almost cut off Holy Light City's way of survival.
Later, the two sides of the negotiation broke up unhappily.
It turns out that Hurricane City has long been interested in the maritime trade of Holy Light City, and has long wanted to put this money into its own purse.
So Hurricane City took this opportunity to start a war.
At that time, Hurricane City, a landlocked country, could be said to have strong military strength, but Holy Light City, as a port city, was at a disadvantage. Although their warships were advanced and sophisticated, they could not travel on land, so how could they withstand the hurricane? City's Hurricane Hussars.
As a result, Hurricane's Hurricane Wings Cavalry could be said to be unstoppable along the way, sweeping all the way and quickly occupying part of Holy Light City's territory. The two ports farthest from Holy Light City have also been captured by Hurricane City.
Originally, Holy Light City had the Holy Light Alliance formed by three other cities.
Lionheart City, Fengshan City and Star City were originally allied with Holy Light City. However, under the fierce offensive of Hurricane City, Crow City and Fengshan City, Fengshan City and Star City all defected to the side of Hurricane City.
This will undoubtedly make Holy Light City's situation worse. Although Lion Heart City is still standing on Holy Light City's side at this time, how can their two big cities withstand the offensive of the five big cities on the opposite side.
Soon Holy Light City lost a large amount of territory, and the five-city coalition forces were approaching Holy Light City. At this time, the ruler of Lion Heart City led all the troops to Holy Light City. The rulers of Lion Heart City planned to use the seaport to defend the Holy Light City. Light City, and many people were loaded onto warships. If they couldn't resist, they should quickly lead these people to escape to avoid falling into the hands of Hurricane City.
Although the soldiers of Holy Light City and Lion Heart City were united and shared the same hatred, the gap in military strength was too great. Little by little, the gates of Holy Light City fell, the city fell, and the consul's residence fell. They fought and retreated. Diandian retreated to the port, and behind was the endless ocean.
The five-city alliance headed by Hurricane City saw that Holy Light City and Lionheart City were about to be wiped out, and all their territories would be divided up, so everyone started hysterical and wanted to kill them, resulting in a tragic event. In the battle, the ruler of Lionheart City was killed by the rulers of Hurricane City, Crow City and Star City in order to protect Raul, the ruler of Holy Light City at that time. He was using this shield to protect him before he died. Raul then held a shield and pushed hard, pushing the bodies of the three governors away, opening a passage for Raul, and at the same time, three weapons also struck the bodies of the governors of Lionheart City.
The personal guard of the ruler of Lionheart City at that time was Lancer, the captain of the Royal Guard of Holy Light City today. Lancer and Raul continued to charge outwards, but the strength of the troops was too disparity. In the blink of an eye, the five cities and five sides were flanked. They were trapped in the port, and as the enemy advanced, their position was compressed smaller and smaller.
Seeing that they could no longer escape, the only two options before them were suicide or being taken prisoner.
In order to shake Raul's will, the ruling party of Hurricane City at that time found Raul's wife and daughter, and killed Raul's wife and his 5-year-old daughter in front of him.
Raul was desperate and wanted to die at that time, but Lancer persuaded him. Captain Lancer planned to lead the rest of the people to rush up to fight to the death, and then let Raul jump into the sea and take the opportunity to escape. Due to the cannon's impact, Even though they existed, these warships did not dare to get too close, and there were their consuls on the shore, so they did not dare to fire.
Who knew that Raul firmly disagreed. He firmly wanted to live and die with the soldiers, and the governor of Hurricane City was impatient. Just when he ordered the attack, the dwarf army and the elven army came behind the five-city coalition. army.
Because Holy Light City has always done business with dwarves and elves on the principle of mutual benefit, this has also made the port of Holy Light City prosperous. From time to time, many dwarves and elves will settle here. When Hurricane City takes over After arriving at the port, they uncharacteristically began to squeeze profits desperately, which made the dwarves and elves very unhappy. As a result, the ruler of Hurricane City relied on himself to control the troops of the five cities. He didn't take it seriously and directly massacred some of the dwarves and elves who were fiercely opposed.
This approach completely angered these two ancient races. At this time, someone brought news that their old friend Raul was in trouble, so the two races quickly organized reinforcements and rushed over day and night. The dwarves and elves quickly mobilized a large number of troops to the battlefield. They logged in from the port, took back the ports occupied by Hurricane City, and then fought all the way to Holy Light City, just in time to arrive at the five-city coalition. The remaining forces in Holy Light City and Lion Heart City must be finally cleared.
Although the Five Cities Alliance Army has a larger number, how can it be the opponent of the two major races at the same time? For this operation, the Moon God High Priest also participated. She was afraid that the Five Cities Alliance Army would want to die together against the Holy Light City and Lion Heart City. The remaining forces were at a disadvantage, so the power of the Moon God fell directly from the sky, and a pure white curtain came down, so that these coalition forces would be burned by the power of the Moon God as long as they passed through the curtain.
Soon, under the fierce offensive of the two races, the five-city coalition was completely wiped out, and all five consuls were killed.
The consuls were all dead, and the remaining people no longer resisted, so they surrendered one after another. Raul asked Captain Lancer to collect these surrendered troops, form a coalition, and start a counterattack.
