Chapter 19 Kyoto Red Flag ()

The Billyuz Mountains travel east-west and entrenched in the entire Menidian Empire, so they were then the central mountain range by the imperial people.

In the summer of 2012, a group of cavalry escaped from the Dark Land, wearing dark blue cavalry underwear, rode on the southern Perot Isaac war horses. More than 200 people were almost injured, and drove into a border station closest to the Dark Land in the Central Mountains. Amid the mocking whistle of the soldiers on duty at the post station, Avery threw the badge in his hand to an older non-commissioned officer.

"Lionheart Crown Badge?" The age of the non-commissioned officer was obviously proportional to his knowledge. He immediately knelt half-kneeled in front of Avery's horse, "Your Highness, what are the instructions?"

"Take people to yell the way forward and quickly protect us back to Beijing!" Avery said, turning over and dismounting with Kate, walked into the station and looked at the flags of different colors on the station wall.

In any station in the Menid Empire, several flags will be prepared at any time to spread the latest news on the front line. Based on the principle of reporting good news but not bad news, these flags are more meaningful to use good news to encourage the morale of the people of the empire.

Each flag represents a different meaning. Dark blue represents a stalemate in the battle; light yellow represents a small victory, orange represents a local victory, while red represents a decisive victory, representing a great victory.

When I saw Avery coming out with the red flag, the non-commissioned officer had already stared out. You should know that in the southern battlefield of the Menid Empire, since the blood rose Gao Sa, the hostile commander, not to mention the red, even the light yellow flag representing Xiaosheng was rarely sent to Kyoto. If it weren't for the Lionheart Crown Badge, the non-commissioned officer would have coaxed them out as madmen.

"Set out!" Avery shouted loudly and took the lead with the bright red flag. He could carry the flag of victory all his life and return to Beijing. What a glory, so his face was already excited and brighter than the red flag.

"Buzz..." revealing the horn of victory was played beside them, playing Ronaege all the way to the northeast. Under the nearly crazy battles of the Oshu Empire for more than ten years, the people of the Menid Empire were shrouded in the shadow of war all the time, and were continuously broken into the shadow of war, making them lose confidence in the knights of the empire who only know how to be graceful. If the heavy armored corps of the Oshu Empire broke through the Billyuz Pass and pointed the pass along the Ronaege, they would not be surprised at all.

Therefore, when the blood-red flag went, the people who were inspired raised the city to celebrate, and the journey was unobstructed. The news of the victory in the south had already blown towards Ronago like a gust of wind and the entire empire.

This flag was like a timely rain, which promptly extinguished the dissatisfaction of the people of the Menid Empire with the rulers. In other words, the empire needed a great victory that needed to be demonstrated with a red flag.

For four consecutive days and four nights, Kate and Avery rushed to Ronago instead of replacing horses. It was not that they were eager to take credit, but that their comrades and brothers fell into the hands of the Snake Man. They had to repay the news back to Kyoto as soon as possible. Most of the soldiers who followed Kate back from the Dark Land were injured. They had no longer been riding for a long time and fell down on the way. Kate and Avery were also supported by their will, which belonged to the will of the knight.

The tall and majestic city walls of the Kyoto Kyoto were already far away. The afternoon sun was so dazzling that Everre's eyes turned black. His whole body was attached to the horse's back, and his hand was still holding the flagpole tightly, "This is our glory, I must send the red flag into Ronego." The next moment, the horse galloped and the flag was flying, but the knight on the horse was already unconscious.

When the red flag was flying on a slope outside the gate of Ronagnan, two teams of royal imperial guards with red armor and dark horses released their horses out of the city. With the sound of the hundred numbers, they guarded Kate and Averre into Ronag.

The road from Nanmen Road to the Imperial Army was already forbidden. The people of Kyoto who came to hear the news were waiting on both sides of the avenue. When the red flag that showed victory entered the city gate, they immediately cheered like a wave. Amid the thunderous applause, Avery, who had already been unconscious, took the horse from the horse. Kate bent down in time and took the flag from Kate. He did not dare to delay for a moment and drove to the Imperial Army.

"The Empire needs a big victory too much." Duke Misley, the Imperial Military Minister, sat upright in the head of the military department, and said to his subordinates to discuss the authenticity of the big victory. No wonder these generals and staff questioned that the Imperial Military Department has not received any words about victory on the southern battlefield so far. According to convention, if there is a big victory, they will definitely use magic to send messages as soon as possible, rather than carrying the red flag and reporting all the way.

This 60-year-old military minister had not had a day of comfort since he took over the military headquarters from Duke Xistel fifteen years ago. The southern border was messed up by the blood rose Gao Sa. It can be foreseen that when the Aussian army attacked the Billyuz Pass, it was the time when his head fell to the ground.

Kate jumped down at the entrance of the Imperial Army and held the flag and saluted half-kneeling to Duke Misley who was waiting at the door, "Visson of the Empire, Kate, the captain of the Eighth Column of the Twelfth Cavalry Regiment, report to you, Southern Xinjiang... Southern Xinjiang is a great victory..." Kate, seriously injured, struggled to hold on until now with a will, and could no longer hold on. He untied a black cloth package behind him, pushed it to Misley, and fainted at the entrance of the military Army.

After arranging someone to carry Kate in for a rest, Duke Misley opened the package in front of his subordinates in the military lobby.

This is a short sword. The scabbard made of black dragon skin is engraved with scarlet roses, and the hilt of the sword is carved with two twisted prison phoenixes. The bluffed head on the guards' hands is weird and mysterious.

"Stop, you're dead." A military adviser picked up the dagger and was about to try to pull it out, but Misley stopped him.

"Hong Xun!"

"Blood Rose Gao Sa!"

Facts have proved that the military headquarters did not all keep a group of people. Several generals who fought with Blood Rose on the battlefield in the southern Xinjiang that year revealed the origin of "Red Xun" at a glance. Then look at Misley's picture, which showed a sickly blushing face because of excitement and excitement. Everyone in the military hall covered their mouths and pressed their hearts that jumped to their throats back.

The artifact "Red Xun" is here, so the end of the Blood Rose Gao Sa is self-evident. Killing Gao Sa is far more meaningful to the gradually declining imperial military headquarters than to destroy thousands of enemies. They can foresee that in the battlefield of Dollas lacking Gao Sa, who else can stop the fourth knight Ulsa's edge? Not to mention regaining the lost territory, it is not impossible to conquer the enemy's Fortress in one fell swoop and burn the war to the heartland of the Ossu Empire.

It was related to the interests of the empire, and Grand Duke Misley did not dare to hesitate anymore, so he hurriedly rolled up Hong Xun with a black cloth and rushed to the palace.

In the majestic and magnificent palace, the emperor of the Menid Empire, Yuchenz XII, leaned against the dragon chaise. His eyes were slightly narrowed on his withered face, his gray hair had no gloss, and even the crown on his head was dim. He twitched the corner of his mouth, opened his turbid eyes and glanced at the surrounding ministers, and finally his eyes fell on the "Red Euntain" in front of him.

"Tell me, how could Hong Xun fall into your hands? Ursa just sent back the news and didn't know that this was the case." Although Yuchenz's voice was full of old manly, the majesty invisibly exuded made the ministers under the steps lower their heads and dared not look directly.

It is hard to imagine that the old man on the dragon throne who was about to die and survived in the world, once single-handedly teared a grown-up Chimera when he was young.

The ministers looked at the two young men under the stairs of the dragon chaise, Kate and Averrey. They were immediately summoned to the palace after the priest performed the replies and tenacious prayers.

After looking at each other, Kate and Averrey both stepped forward and knelt down. Averrey, who has a very talented talent in literature, began to tell the story of the whole incident. Of course, the result was too gorgeous and unchangeable. Is this process? Naturally, it would be decorated in a colorful way.

They said that Ursa was forced to face the Blood Rose, and were willing to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of the empire and were not afraid; they said that escaped from the cowardly formation as luring the enemy into depth and destroying the enemy in the movement; then after the main general died in battle, they unanimously elected Griffili, who had keen military talents as the commander. Under his leadership, they led them to lead the Blood Rose to the Bugui Canyon, how to arrange troops and use the terrain to ambush the Blood Rose. Finally, everyone was desperate and shouted in unison, "For the Empire, for the glory" to kill the elite Blood Rose warriors. After Gao Sa was exhausted, his head was cut off by Griffili's sword.

In Averre's passionate and emotional statement, there was no orc from beginning to end. No, I didn't meet orcs at all. In the increasingly powerful Holy Alliance of the Holy Church, cooperation with the Dark Race would be labeled as a pagan for any reason. Although the Menid Empire is not very afraid of the Holy Church now, who knows what will happen in the future? You must know that the flames on the cross of Mount Vajra, the chief priest of the Holy Church have never been extinguished.

Of course, His Majesty Yuchinz and all the ministers are all old-fashioned figures. They all know in their hearts that they can't do anything to the blood rose with the messy legion they've been messing with. Otherwise, facing the elite Canglan Corps, Blood rose would have died ten or eight times. However, the "Red Xun" in front of them is an iron fact. If Avery brags about it, he will not point it out. For them and even the entire empire, the process is not important. Even if you can bring the gods you blow to come down to earth and possess the gods and demons, the knight is also a manifestation of art. Isn't art allowed to exaggerate?

They only need to have the result, and Gao Sa died, that's enough.

When they finally heard that it was the imperial foreign minister and Duke Xistel's grandson killed Gao Sa, the ministers looked at the old Steman who was huddled in the crowd with envy and jealousy. If it weren't for the royal family's son Everrey, they insisted that Griffili killed Gao Sa. They had reason to believe that it was definitely the son of Old Steman, Griffili's father, and the second knight of the Empire, Delong Peilong, secretly helped. Even His Majesty Yuchenz looked at him with a playful look.

In fact, the old duke who had been standing in the imperial court for forty years did not realize the kindness of everyone. As soon as Avery finished speaking, he couldn't wait to go out and grabbed Kate without regard for etiquette and asked, "Why are you the only one coming back? Where is my grandson Gerry?"

"Sorry, I couldn't protect him..."

"What?" Before Kate finished speaking, Old Steman shook his body and almost fainted. Although my grandson was a little greedy, lustful, and arrogant, wasn't this a noble quality that a nobleman was born with? But now... Old Steman couldn't think about it anymore.

Kate quickly supported the old duke and explained: "No, the Duke is not what you think. After killing Gao Sa, we were attacked by the Snake tribe. He and Commander Kang Duo were captured by the Snake people."

"What?" Old Steman yelled again, "Damn earthworms, see if I don't lift up their nests and throw them all into the Black Tan swamp as fertilizer." Old Steman realized that he had accidentally committed the crime of roaring in the court again, and quickly knelt down and apologized to His Majesty.

His Majesty Yuchenz just waved his hand and signaled the old duke to get up. The ministers have been used to the old duke's character over the years. He was anxious when he had something to do. After that, he apologized for the crime. He did not see His Majesty the Emperor blame him for this.

While everyone was discussing how to rescue the empire hero Griffili, the chief of the matter most concerned, Duke Siester, had already sat in the carriage back home. The 60-year-old duke had been up and down in his life. He finally climbed to the throne of the Minister of Military Affairs, but the chair was not warmed up. His son, the second knight of the Empire, Delong Peilong, made a big fuss on Mount Kwang, rescued the next lich on the cross burning of the Holy Flame, and abandoned his wife and son to join her. Facing the surging fire of the Holy Holy Church, the imperial emperor did not deprive the title of Delong Peilong of the Second Knight, but driving the old Siester from the real power of the military affairs minister to the foreign minister's leisure servant, was also an explanation for the Holy Church.

Despite this, the Steadman family is still a family that has been passed down for 500 years and a family that produces rich heritage. The roar of Old Steadman in the court was not a bluff. A family that produces heroes has never lacked slaves who can fight and kill. It was because Old Steadman rushed home as soon as possible to quickly arrange the personnel to rescue his grandson Griffili, which is unaffordable.

Of course, Old Steman was also confused. Griffili, who was aware of how much he had grown up, was very clear in his heart. He made him believe that Griffili killed Gao Sa, which was even more incredible than Averre's nonsense in the court.

"It seems that God still favors our Steman family!" The old duke looked at the mansion that was getting closer and closer, remembered the title of the Ninth Knight, and showed a hint of relief on his face. It seemed that his family fortune was good, and it was hard to think of a hero.

The Marquis' Mansion in Ursa is located on the Third Avenue of Ronago. This avenue may not be as romantic and noisy as Rose Garden Square, nor as prosperous as Shujin Street. In the hearts of the people of Ronago, the Third Avenue is beyond comparison to any other street, and that is glory.

Therefore, people prefer to call it the Street of Glory, because five heroes who were named "Knights of the Empire" lived on this quiet third avenue, and the Fourth Knight's Mansion in Ursa is also listed here.

The door lintel decorated with stars on the black background is inlaid with five large characters with flashing lights inlaid with glazed gold symbolizing wealth - the Fourth Knight's Mansion. Two burly guards stand next to the topaz carved unicorns on both sides of the gate. They are still as rigid puppet door gods.

In the northwest corner of the gate stands the second tallest building of Ronago - the Secret Star Tower. The entire tower is square in shape, and the black tower body adheres to the color that the Ursa family has loved for generations. Every time the night is deep, in the moment when there is no moon or stars in the sky, the top floor of the Secret Star Tower will be surrounded by mysterious stars, mysterious and intimidating.

Near the Secret Star Tower is a small garden, called meditative meditation. The pavilions and terraces in the small garden are connected together, and the rockery ponds dotted among them, making it incompatible with the solemn and solemn square buildings around. In addition, the small garden is quiet on weekdays, and there are no birds singing, flowers singing orioles singing, and the only one is a pond connected to a pond, pale as snow.

On the pavilion by the pond, there was a pair of blue eyes staring at the white petals all over the pond. There was no trace of emotion in the calm eyes. Her blonde hair was sprinkled behind her head. Under the gentle caress of the breeze, the lotus leaves swayed slightly, and there was no trace of blood on her face. With her perky nose and cold lips, she was cold and noble against the background of a white long skirt.

On her smooth forehead, there was a pair of thin eyebrows that seemed to have never been stretched before. The sad melancholy flashed as the waves of her eyes flickered. The loneliness that was inadvertently revealed was like a knot of heart piled up with countless lovesickness hidden in it, overwhelming the beautiful eyebrows and moist pupils.

"Oh..." She leaned out slightly, and stretched out her plain hands towards the petals by the pond with a resentful voice, holding up a lotus, as if she was stroking the face of her first lover.

Her beautiful figure sways with the breeze, and she is focused and peaceful like a lonely lotus that is independent of the world. At this moment, she is an angel, caring about or remembering...

"Madam...Madam," a crisp shout accompanied by the noisy sound of steps disturbed Elena. She wrinkled beautifully and reluctantly let go of the lotus in her hand. Her white little hand swayed casually in the water, stood up and looked back at the distance.

Weier ran to the mistress Elena in a hurry. Tears dripped like pearls with broken threads on her handsome face. She didn't care about the obsessiveness of the mistress, and she grabbed Elena's hand and knelt on the ground, "Madam, Miss... Miss."

"Get up and talk well." Elena stroked the ends of her hair in her ears, and a trace of anxiety became more between her melancholy eyebrows.

"Just just sent a message from the palace, the lady was caught by the snake man in Bugui Canyon." Weier finally swallowed and said the key point.

"Kanduo..." Irena's name lightly called out her daughter, and her fair face turned pale, "Wait, wasn't Kanganduo on the battlefield of Dollas with Master, why did she run to the Canyon hundreds of miles away?" After a slight confusion, Irena had already shown the majesty that the mistress should have and asked for the strangeness in her heart.

"Yes... It's Blood Rose. People from the palace said that the lady was chased by Blood Rose to the Bugui Canyon. Then they ambushed the Blood Rose Gao Sa, and thus suffered heavy losses. They were swept away by the snake man. Woo..., Madam, the master is far away on the battlefield of Dollas, what should I do now... Miss..."

"How could they...be able to kill Gao Sa? Who in this world can kill the blood rose Gao Sa?" When he heard Gao Sa was killed, cold sweat fell from Ilena's temples, and the trembling tail sound brought out a look of disbelief.

"It's true, the imperial guard who was passing the message said that the artifact "Hong Xun" was brought back and placed in the palace. Now His Majesty is arranging people to rescue the lady, and he specially asked someone to come and inform him."

Elena fell to the ground regardless of Fengyi, her eyes were empty and she kept muttering, "Hong Xun... Gao Sa..."

When Weier saw that she was worried about the lady, she quickly stood up and held Elena, calling out, "Madam...Madam, come here!"

"No," Elena suddenly pushed Wei'er away, held the hem of her skirt, and her cold face was like a layer of ice, which made people dare not look directly at her. "Appoint it, I will enter the palace immediately, and I will take a look at Hongxuan in person."
