Ten years later.

The passage of time in the mortal world seemed to God to be only a blink of an eye, and before that moment, the Holy Land was thriving, each day being stronger than the previous one. At the beginning of this moment, Marshal Thales was killed, and the Holy Land was plunged into civil strife.

By the time this moment ended, ten years later, the Holy Land was in full flames.

Five years ago, His Majesty King Alwyn died, but the eldest son of the kingdom was disabled in a traffic accident three days before his succession to the throne and was disqualified from becoming king.

There are still three heirs of the right age, and the three of them fight openly and secretly, and neither of them obeys the other, and a year later, the Greson Kingdom is split into three, but they are still fighting with each other, neither of them recognizes the other, and everyone wants to become the legitimate King of Grenson.

The situation in the southern kingdom of Gallok was very bad. General Gudank and General Delgan faced off for three years, and in an assassination attempt, Delgan was killed, but this did not quell the anger of Marshal Thales' diehard loyalists, and a new leader soon appeared and continued to confront Gudank.

For the next seven years, Goodink tried to drive Marshal Thales' loyalists out of Thales, and in the fifth year, he succeeded, and the Thales loyalists were largely eliminated, but they were far from being killed.

They scattered into the surrounding towns, calling themselves the King's Brotherhood and the forces led by Admiral Gudank as kingkillers, openly and covertly opposing Delgan's rule.

But this is just a noble statement, the core personnel of the so-called Brotherhood may be the elite of the Terran race, but because of Gudank's years of encirclement and suppression, most of the new members of the Brotherhood continue to absorb are unemployed vagrants, gangsters, hooligans and other scum.

Gradually, the Brotherhood became a malignant disease in the southern part of the Holy Land, in order to maintain its power against Gudank. Sustain yourself for survival. They do all kinds of evil. The trafficking of women and children, the exploitation of prostitution, robbery, and the forced exploitation of mines by civilians regardless of life or death are notorious.

As an opponent of the Brotherhood, General Gudank did not have a good reputation, and planned to assassinate the great Marshal Thales and become a monarch killer, causing the newly formed Gallok Kingdom to fall into such a chaotic situation that every victim would curse him in the middle of the night that he would not die well.

The times evolved in a chaotic situation, ten years later. The Holy Land is already full of bandits and warlords.

In order to protect themselves, the large families had to form private armies, build fortresses, and defend their property with strong walls and armies.

The entire holy land, with many fortresses, each fighting each other, is known as the 'Warring States Rebellion' in the history of the human race.

South. The Thales family, left behind by Marshal Thales, is one such big family.

The leader of the family, Field Marshal Thales, was killed, and the family remained in Thales City for the first time. But half a year later, they voluntarily withdrew from Thales City and settled in a manor three hundred kilometers north of Thales City

Out of respect for the great Marshal Thales, no one dared to stand in the way of the family.

Even General Gudank did not make a move, and in order to clear his innocence, he personally sent troops to escort the Thales family, escorted the family to the manor safely, and declared that the fifty kilometers of land around the manor were owned by the Thales family forever.

This manor, these fifty kilometers of land, has become the foundation of the Thales family in the troubled times.

Three years later, a fortified fortress was built here, and it was called the 'Blue Stone Fort' because of the anti-magic process used in the façade materials to give the walls a pale blue hue.

The outermost layer of the Blue Stone Fort is a trapezoidal wall up to 15 meters high, which is extremely strong, and the highly demon-resistant wall can withstand dozens of bombardments from the latest God of War artillery. Of course, in these years, there are few people who have the ability to make God of War artillery, so the Blue Stone Fort is very safe.

On this day, the guards on the high wall of the castle suddenly appeared in a commotion, and they saw five combat airships more than twenty meters long flying towards the high wall of the castle in the sky.

Half a day ago, the airship team of Bluestone Castle set off to the border of the territory to face the invasion of the adjacent Wolf Fort fleet. At that time, there were nine airships that set off, but I didn't expect that in the first battle, four of them fell.

The airships were visibly damaged, and there were many scorch marks on their hulls that had been hit by artillery. One of the airships flashed blood-red lights. It rushed to the front, and as soon as it docked in the airship position on the high wall, the door was slammed open from the inside, and two strong soldiers rushed down with a stretcher.

They rushed and shouted, "Go to the priest!" Where's the pastor? The castle lord is injured! ”

On the stretcher was lying a bloody man, and there was a huge bloody hole in his right shoulder, and although it was covered with a white cloth, blood could still be seen gushing out of the hole. Judging from the clothes on this man, he is none other than Griloch, the third son of Field Marshal Thales, and the most recent lord of Bluestone Castle, who is only sixteen years old this year, and has only been on the throne for a year to this day.

Because of the severe injury, Griloch's face was as white as paper, he was almost unconscious, and although his big eyes were open, the sparkle in them had almost disappeared.

In a few moments, three priests of the Temple of War in red and white robes rushed to the city wall with a man in a dark blue uniform.

"Put the castle master on the ground! Tent, set up a tent to block the wind from the castle owner! "The priest who rushed to the front shouted as soon as he came, he was the patriarch of the Temple of the God of War, and his prestige was so high that no one could challenge his authority when it came to treating the sick.

The soldiers immediately complied, and in less than a minute a marching tent had been erected, and the priest had already rushed into the tent and began to treat Grilock's injuries.

Soon, there was a large circle of people outside the tent, and five minutes later, a woman with white temples climbed the high wall, escorted by several elite guards, and as soon as she came, the soldiers on the high wall automatically made way for her.

The woman was none other than Lady Trisley, the widow of Marshal Thales.

Ten years ago, she was a graceful woman, living a carefree life, calm and peaceful, but all this happiness had ended with the death of her husband. Now, ten years later, she is visibly old, with more gray hair and obvious wrinkles on her forehead.

At this time, her face was as pale as paper, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes, and as soon as she came, she asked the man in the dark blue uniform before, "Ge Dosen, how is the castle lord?" ”

Gethoven is the steward of the castle, and he is responsible for managing the civil affairs of the castle and giving advice to the lord of the castle.

Ten years ago, he was responsible for the construction of the Blue Stone Castle, and managed the Blue Stone Castle in an orderly manner, never making mistakes, and was a very wise middle-aged man, who was deeply relied on by the castle owners of previous generations.

His face was also extremely ugly, and he was silent when he heard the words, and he shook his head for a long time: "Madam, it's hard to say." ”

Mrs. Trisley's body shook and almost fell, but fortunately, a girl in a blue dress beside her reached out to help her in time, and the girl whispered comfort: "Mother, my brother will definitely get better." ”

This girl is Vivi, the youngest daughter of Marshal Thales, who is fourteen years old this year, and has grown into a beautiful big girl.

The little girl who grew up in the midst of hardship was precocious in mind, and she knew deeply what it meant for her brother to die in battle. The death of the only adult male of the Thales family will lead to a complete decline in the family.

"Brother, you must survive!" Although she was extremely anxious, the girl tried not to let it show, because she still had to take care of her mother.

The lady closed her eyes in pain, and silently prayed in her heart to the goddess of life she believed in, hoping that the goddess would hear her voice and not let her experience the pain of losing her son for the third time.

Ten years ago, her husband died, six years ago, her eldest son died in battle, and three years ago, her second son also died in battle.

"God, when will our family's doom end?" Madame thought bitterly.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a palpitation, as if a piece of her soul had been torn off by force, and she looked up consciously, and saw that the curtain of the tent door had been lifted in front of her, and the patriarch came out, his hands covered with blood, and he did not say a word, but shook his head.

Madame felt only darkness before her eyes, and in a cry of exclamation, she fainted to the ground, and the elite soldiers who escorted her up the high wall immediately brought a stretcher and sent Madame back to the castle accompanied by a priest.

The Patriarch washed his hands and explained the situation to the chief steward Gethoven: "The wound on the shoulder of the lord of the castle has caused him to lose too much blood, but it is not a fatal wound. What was really lethal was the metal shrapnel stuck above his heart, which damaged his heart and took all his life for too long for me to do anything about it. ”

Gethoven's face was heavy and he said bitterly: "The marshal is an invincible god of war, why would his family suffer such a bad luck?!" Could it be that God is jealous of Him? ”

He watched Thales' sons grow up, one by one, from infant to human and finally to die on the battlefield at a young age, and the heartache is indescribable.

"Be careful, Gethoven, God is not jealous of a mortal, mortal is his people, and a father is not jealous of his son's achievements." The Patriarch admonished.

Gethoven knew that he had lost his word, and he bowed down to the Patriarch and confessed his sin.

Greloc died again, and there was only one heir left for Thales, the marshal's youngest son, Verando, who had just turned ten this year.

Thinking of the boy with a pair of black eyes, Gedolphin's spirit perked up slightly: "Fortunately, the marshal's blood has not been severed!" ”

But then he was full of worry: "But Verando is too young. ”

The soldiers of the Blue Stone Fort are rebellious, the generals are fierce, and there is a strong enemy Wolf Fort around, and it is impossible to do without a strong commander.

It is difficult to say whether the Thales family, who were dead in battle, could continue to rule the Blue Stone Castle, and whether the various commanders would recognize Verando as their leader. (To be continued......)
