Conquest

    Chapter 124—The Disappearing Family

    After coming out of the military square, Green and Chubby and Shaar hugged each other and then went to their own horses to say goodbye.

    "You have to stay a few days at Imperial Capital, feel free to come to me to drink the bar."Green sat on the horse and smiled at Shaar: "Boy, you are fine. If you have time, come to the military academy to find me, I invite you to drink! ”

    After that, the frustrated Emperor was laughing and laughing.

    Looking at Green's back, Chubby seemed to sigh and shook his head: "It's a pity."

    He turned his head and yelled at Shaar: "Do you know who he is?"

    Not waiting for Shaar to answer, Chubby seems to whisper as if he is a self-speaking: "He and I graduated from the military academy at the same time, ranking first, especially in terms of codes and tactics. Even our teacher Duke Minas said that he is a good person. He participated in two wars with the Odin. The first time he was a garrison officer, but with 300 people attacking the enemy behind hundreds of miles, attacking the Odin's logistics base. In the second war, he was already the flag officer of Flag Battalion. After the war, he was responsible for the post-war. He took more than a thousand cavalry with almost suicidal harassment tactics, and delayed the marching speed of a legion's Odin. day! Later, he was transferred to the east to go to the side, facing the invasion of more than a dozen tribes of the nomadic people. He took the defenders of less than 2,000 people in a small side town for a month! I don't even know how he did it! The wall of the border town is only three meters high, and there is no defensive fortress ordnance! No catapult, no carriage, even bow and arrow and food are in short supply…When the last reinforcements arrived, he was traumatized by sixteen, and he was awake for more than twenty days before he woke up. ”

    Shaar heard a shock!

    He has experienced war, so from the simple words of chubby, I immediately felt the shock!

    He used to be in a well-armed station, with thousands of people, facing the attack of more than 10,000 Odin people. That time, it was almost impossible to endure in one day, forcing him to single out the strategy of Hasting. Reluctantly delay the time.

    Two thousand people, side by side, lack of armaments…Keep a month? !

    "Duke Minas once said…If Green can be reused, if he is led to lead an Army and give him enough time and trust, Green is absolutely capable of bringing out an iron army that can compete with Hasting's Odin Storm Legion! That was close

    Ruhr shook his head and smiled: "When his temper was too radical, Duke Minas had saved him many times and had to be left idle. He had already gone to the Flag Battalion in the 13th Army, but in the end he did not become the General of the 13th Army. Eh…

    Having said that, Ruhr looked at Shaar and said: "In all the generals of the eagle, if Feather is facing your General Adrick, he may not really be convinced, but this Green is a guy who makes Father the only one who is convinced. ……"

    Shaar read the tribute from Chubby's eyes, and then the two went on, and slowly left the avenue before the military in the entourage.

    On the way, chubby seemed to be a little depressed. Shaar didn't say a word. After half an hour, Shaar suddenly looked up and asked, "Well, chubby, just in the military, you are right. The statue salute…Who is that statue? ”

    Chubby snorted and turned to look at Shaar, could not help but be a little surprised: "Is it? Kid, I thought you were a rookie, but I didn't expect you to be ignorant to this point! ! You don't even know who he is? God! Since you know the Byzantine text, at least you have seen the history of the Empire! ”

“……NoneShaar shook his head honestly.

    So,Ruhr frowned, and immediately said, "So, you know that you don't know the city under your feet, the origin of the name Osgiliath?"

    Osgiliath ……Shaar suddenly moved: "Well, is it…This name was obtained from the statue of the statue? The name of the statue, called Osgiliath? Was he the founding emperor of the Byzantine Empire? ”

    Ruhr smiled a bit: "He certainly is not an emperor. But although he is not an emperor, the Empire's Imperial Capital still has to be named after his name! Even the founding emperor, he had to give him the glory of the name Imperial Capital…And at the time, this decision was well endorsed by everyone! You can imagine how great this statue is. ”

    After a sigh, Ruhr was full of reverence and memory: "Osgiliath, the founding father of our Byzantine empire, the first Marshal of the Empire! The highest Commander-in-Chief of the Emperor! It can be said that he has laid the territory of the entire Byzantine Empire with one hand! Originally, Byzantine was just a small country in the southern coastal region. In the 30 years of Osgiliath Marshal's campaign, such a big empire was laid! He is a truly invincible Commander-in-Chief, great solider! He is also the god of war that our Byzantine empire generation is not forgotten! After the empire was established, the Duke of Osgiliath became the first Marshal of the Empire, and was named the Duke. He and his descendants of the family guarded the Empire for nearly four hundred years! In those four hundred years, the Osgiliath family almost became the home of the Empire's military god! Their family, almost every generation of Lord Duke, is the Empire's Commander-in-Chief, the most outstanding contemporary empire! During those four hundred years, the Osgiliath family had a lofty prestige among the emperors. However, this family has always been loyal to the Empire. Even though there are occasionally one or two emperors in history, there have been suspicions about the family, but this family has never acted to betray the empire, and the loyal guardian of the empire Four hundred years! ”

    Shaar frowned: "Four hundred years…Then what you mean is…"

    “The Osgiliath family is no longer there today.”Ruhr's look is somewhat emotional and sad: "This great family, from the very beginning, seems to have been subjected to some kind of curse. The family's people have not prospered. Each generation of the Duke is the only male single, just as God has given this. The greatest glory of the family and the most outstanding military talents have deprived them of the prosperity of their reproduction. In the four hundred years since the founding of the country, because of the existence of the Osgiliath family, the empire has encountered even a big crisis, and this family of military gods has come forward to defend the empire. Finally, in the four hundred years since the founding of the country, the last Duke of Osgiliath in the family died. He was only 39 years old when he died. However, he did not have a son, only one daughter. The original emperor ordered that the duke's daughter should be born to the descendants of the male, and he could inherit the title of the Duke of Osgiliath. Unfortunately, the daughter of the duke had no life after him…This glorious family has cut off the blood…"

    Having said that, Ruhr suddenly smiled, and he said slowly, "there is a legend that the Osgiliath family, in fact, is the Messenger of God's coming down, the task is to protect the Byzantine Empire, and after 400 years, the family completed their mission, was summoned by the gods to leave the world, So there are no descendants of the Osgiliath family left on earth … "

    Shaar heard this and couldn't help but squat for a while.

    Chubby suddenly turned a bit, Wen Yan smiled: "I am strange, such a famous legend you have not heard of? Even in Wildfire Town, no one knows this story…Even the entire continent, the name of the Duke of Osgiliath is still sung for thousands of years…"

    After a pause, he suddenly patted his head: "Ah! Yes, I know! ”Chubby smiled and said: "Osgiliath Lord Duke had a loud nickname in the past. It is said that the first Duke of Osgiliath, the founding Marshal Lord, is the favorite flower…Therefore, after the Duke of the country was sealed, the family clan was designated as a blooming tulip in a flame, and then, as Osgiliath Lord Duke, they were all called 'Duke Tulip' in the whole continent, their family, too. Known as 'Tulip Family'. ”

    When Shaar’s eyes lit up, he was a little excited and lost his voice: “Ah! Duke Tulip, Tulip Family! ! I haven't heard the name of the Duke of Osgiliath, but the name Tulip, when I was in Wildfire Town, was often heard by the storytelling bard! Legend has it that Duke Tulip is invincible and says that he is the protector of the empire! ”

    Shaar said, his face showed a "it was him" expression. Although he was far away from the military, he couldn't help but turn around and look in the direction of the military. There is a bit of reverence.

    Originally, Chubby was going to send Shaar back to his place to wait, but Shaar said that there was still something to go out. Chubby was worried: "You'd better stay in your place now, and the emperor's call will come when…"

    Shaar looked very serious and shook his head: "I…There is really something to do. I…I am going to the Kevin home to see! ”Saying, Shaar's face showed a trace of sadness.

    Said, he whispered something to Chubby. Chubby's face showed a glimpse of his face, staring at Shaar, sinking his voice: "Well, this thing is not a mistake!" Ok, you are going back soon! Well, you are now in a special status, I let the guards follow you. ”
