The war between the kingdoms of Annoya and the Duchy of Polk broke out very quickly and without warning.

But interestingly, it ended just as quickly, from the beginning of the battle to the final end, it took less than half a day.

To be exact, the real part of the battle is only a few minutes.

With weapons beyond the comprehension of the planetary civilization being put into battle, the nobles and soldiers of the Duchy of Polk have lost more than half of their army before they can react to what is happening.

There were no accidents, and the remaining guys didn't even think about it, they just turned around and started to run wildly.

Some of them may be brave and not very afraid of death, but in the face of a force that human beings simply cannot match, it is all in vain.

What other option did they have but to escape?

If it weren't for the fact that in order to reduce unnecessary consumption as much as possible, the following pursuit battle would have adopted traditional cavalry, and perhaps there would not have been a single survivor on the battlefield.

But even so, the top of the Principality of Polk was almost wiped out, dozens of famous nobles who had lasted for hundreds of years were facing the dilemma of having no heirs, and the entire country was also facing the risk of order collapsing.

This risk does not come from an external invader, but from the mass deaths of the internal elite.

In this backward world, where knowledge and information are disseminated very slowly, the time, energy and consumption required to cultivate a talent is enough to bring down a small businessman with a good income, and once a large number of elite talents die, the country will face the inability to maintain the effective functioning of the administrative institutions.

As a feudal country with feudal aristocrats as the main body, the death of a large number of nobles in the Principality of Pok directly led to the inability of the rear to organize even a decent resistance.

And even if some families tried to resist with a strong castle, they were unable to unite and were defeated one by one due to the lack of prestige and convincing candidates.

With the occupation of the capital of the principality, the surrounding kingdoms, which were originally eyeing the cheap ones, were suddenly shocked to find that the kingdom that they regarded as fat meat still hid such terrible hole cards.

All of a sudden, countless spies disguised as various identities came to the kingdom's capital and began to inquire privately about mysterious weapons.

Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, these are just after-dinner conversations, and they are more concerned about the news about ancient ruins and treasures circulating in the market.

......

In a nondescript tavern, a dozen heavily armed adventurers gather together, toasting and exchanging information with each other.

One of the men, who looked very old, raised his head and drank the drink from his glass, then grinned and said, "Guys, you know? I have a hunch that we will make a fortune this time." ”

"Oh, how do you know we're going to make a fortune?" the other young man blinked curiously.

"Hahahaha, don't you know that old legend?" the man asked with a laugh.

The young man hurriedly shook his head: "No, I haven't heard of it. What is the Holy Sword?"

"The Holy Sword is a powerful artifact! It is said that in ancient times, a god himself gave it to an unsung hero. With the unparalleled power of the Holy Sword, this hero not only defeated the invincible army of the undead, but also slain the mighty Dragon King. In order to prevent this holy sword from falling into the wrong hands, the hero built a mausoleum in front of the temporary. Now, his soul is guarding the holy sword in the tomb, waiting for the next successor with a heroic pose to come. ”

Not far away, a mysterious man shrouded in a hood took the initiative to give an answer.

"Could it be that this relic is the Tomb of the Unknown Hero?!" the young man stood up excitedly.

As the saying goes, deep within every intelligent life lies a dream of becoming a hero, which is the embodiment of sociality, the proof of the desire to be recognized and praised by its peers, and few can resist its temptation.

Especially young people who like to fantasize, as long as they are given a little hope and encouragement, they will become enthusiastic, even if they risk their lives.

"I'm sorry, I'm just an academic, and I can't be sure if it's or not until I see it with my own eyes. The mysterious man replied without raising his head.

"So are you interested in joining us?" said the middle-aged man who spoke at the beginning offered an invitation.

I don't know if it's an illusion, he always feels that when he looks at the other party's face hidden under the hood, there will always be a strong sense of ambiguity that is so inexplicable that he can't remember anything at all.

Because of this, he felt that this mysterious person must not be simple, so he planned to test it.

But unfortunately, the mysterious man obviously had no such intentions, and refused with a smile: ", not interested. I'm a scholar, not a spellcaster, not a warrior, and I'm going to be a burden to your ranks. And I have a very picky mouth, and I can't eat the hard-to-swallow barbecue and dry food in the wild. Finally, thank you for the invitation, but leave the risk to professionals like you. ”

The words just fell!

He threw down a few silver coins, stood up and walked out of the tavern, disappearing from view in the blink of an eye.

After walking away completely, the middle-aged man immediately commanded a small man next to him: "Go! Follow him! Find out who he really is!"

"Understood!"

The little man immediately put down the food in his hand, picked up a dirty linen cloth, wiped his hands and mouth, and chased after him with his legs open and at great speed.

The two of them walked one after the other, shuttling through the complex and gloomy alleys for about ten minutes, and he suddenly noticed that the tracking object in front of him suddenly turned into a ghostly light in the sky.

Such a terrifying, weird, and beyond comprehension phenomenon made this little man shudder, gritting his teeth and complaining: "Damn!

However, complaining is complaining, he still honestly circled around several times to confirm that the target is really missing, and then he returned the same way in frustration.

But he obviously didn't notice that as soon as his front foot left, the points of light on his back foot regathered to form the shape of a human being.

I saw the corners of the mysterious man's mouth slightly upturned, and a playful smile appeared, and then he took off his hood, revealing Isolt's old face.

You don't need to ask to know that the true and false news is spread by him in this way, and even provides a little help to those adventurers with potential......
