The rain and snow that had lasted for three days finally stopped in the early hours of that day. Regarding the change of weather, both sides on the battlefield knew it at the first time. On the eve of the big war, many people were so excited that they couldn't sleep. It is not so much that the dawn came on time, but that it came in anticipation of the people.

When the morning light is faint, a glimmer of golden light from the east sweeps away the hazy weather of these days. The sun broke through the clouds that had long been tired, and showed itself in front of everyone's eyes.

"Thank you Odin for giving us a good weather for this fight." The Navi silently recited their gratitude to the gods and began to examine their weapons; Wipe away their rudimentary leather armor; Reskin the wooden shield.

The two sides confronted each other on a low-lying area about half a mile wide (about 800 metres), where each side built improvised fortifications - improvised fences made of felled trees. Then both sides began to bury the pot to cook and solve the problem in their stomachs.

While the fighters were preparing, the commanders were not idle. The patriarchs, led by Romerdal, came to observe their opponents before the battle.

"Lisedar, what do you think they are?"

"It should be more than us, probably more than 30,000, maybe more."

"We have Gronchar here, and the disparity in numbers won't be a big problem."

"Young Starr, you're too inexperienced." Gronchar laughed, "I have heard that you once hospitably entertained Sauglande Luce of Pharynsi, didn't you ask him for advice on the art of war?" ”

Starr's face flushed, and he knew he was a little reckless this time.

Seeing the boy's embarrassment, Gronshard patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, I've had similar thoughts before. At that time, I asked my father, what is the difference between a warrior and a patriarch? ”

"And how did Grunholm answer you?" Starr asked.

"He said to me: 'Gronchar, the patriarch should be a good warrior, and he is like an ordinary warrior in peacetime. So first you have to be a good warrior, and then you can be a good patriarch. However, the patriarch and the warrior are different, because when it comes to the critical moment, he must step up and take responsibility. Take on responsibilities that not everyone can bear. At this time, one patriarch is worth thousands of warriors. ”

"So, the patriarch is still more important than the warrior?"

"It can't be said that no matter how powerful the patriarch is, he has to think of himself as a warrior. The only difference between him and the warrior is the responsibility they face, and everything else is the same. If any patriarch forgets this, he will become as weak as a reed on a riverbank. ”

When Starr heard this, the young man fell into deep thought. After all, he was still a little more influenced by his father, and in his previous opinion, Tovding's courage was not inferior to that of any one of Navi. Therefore, Starr was also very unconvinced of Gronchar, thinking that it was an exaggeration to be so sought after by everyone as "the first brave man of Nawei" at a young age, just because his popularity was better than his father.

"The real strength is spiritual." This phrase has long been regarded by many as a cliché, detached idealism. However, after the great waves of history, it is those things that can continue to shine brightly.

"All right, everyone, let's go back to breakfast. Get the fighters ready, it's going to be a very long day. Romedalar turned to the other patriarchs and commanded.

The battle known in Navi history as the "Battle of the Depression" officially kicked off at noon on this day, and it was the side that opened the scene on the opposite side of Romedal. Fallur of Agliotto was the first to rise from his camp, raising his battle axe and shield and roaring loudly. Ariotto's banner rose from behind with his roar, and their emblem was the giant wolf Finrir, a ferocious monster by whom Thor, the god of thunder, had been bitten. Therefore Falillus howled like a wolf.

After him, Mehraphim's Hahesen also shouted and led his warriors to stand up, and Meraphim's emblem was the six-legged steed that Odin stepped on. He was followed by Ruhr of Mebles, but because the patriarch was undecided, he could not use the banners of any clan.

"It's time for us to play, too." Romerdal got up from a stone where he was sitting.

"Otto's warriors, today we want Odin to give a hearty battle." Romedal jumped on the stone where he had been sitting and shouted to the warriors who had been waiting behind him.

The people of Otto cheered loudly, and since they had been attacked by Ruhr and others in Mebres, they had nowhere to vent their grievances. Today's battle can be said to have finally given them a chance to vent their anger, and it doesn't matter who the target is.

Otto's banner was raised, it was Odin's spear, Kungulnin, although no one used a spear in Navi, but it did not prevent them from worshipping this artifact. Romerdal and his tribe stood on the front line, but they were greeted by a wave of enemy boos, mixed with all sorts of Navi provocations and insults. Otto's warriors were furious, of course, but their patriarch signaled them to be patient, so there was a terrible silence on Otto's side, like the one before the storm.

After Otto, it was the appearance of Misharu. Misharu had the smallest number of the seven tribes, but no one dared to ignore them because they were led by Gronchar, who was recognized as the "No. 1 Warrior of Navi". Misharu's banner is a huge polar bear, a huge carnivore that is the absolute overlord of land in the polar environment. As soon as Gronchar stood in front of the formation, the boos that had been in front of Otto disappeared without a trace, and were replaced by a faint cacophony. Hagensen could only shout at his men, and Falirou remained silent.

After that, Mitrajie's appearance was somewhat deserted, and Freya's harp was not as imposing as the banners of the other two tribes, and Lisedar was not a figure known for his bravery. Therefore, the Navi people will more or less despise them. Lisedar himself was used to this, but he knew that in the future, Navi would also understand the importance of his mind to this nation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what kind of agitation and temptation you have suffered. He openly stood up and violated the teachings of his ancestors and challenged the leader of the tribal alliance. If you can still think carefully about your actions now, you should honestly go back to your tent. Romerdal said to the other first.

"Hmph, who broke the rules of the ancestors first, let's see. Who the hell is it? Even the unique leader of the Tribal Alliance could not kill any Navi without the consent of the National Assembly, let alone the leader of a clan. Ruhr rightfully jumped out to hit back at Romydal's words.

"Yes, then you can take revenge on me personally, according to tradition. Son of Tovding, if you want, I can take on your challenge right now!! Romerdal replied coldly.

"That means you can kill people with your own prowess, right?"

"Dear brother, if you are willing to stand up for revenge now, I will definitely stand on your side and help you, as the ancestral tradition dictated. I have the courage, do you?!! Starr stepped out from behind Gronchar.

"Ruel of Mebles, you've already done a beautiful revenge, haven't you? It was really beautiful, and almost no one was able to catch it at the time. In that case, this personal feud should have ended a long time ago, shouldn't it? So I'm amazed that you still have the face to give this kind of reason, and I'm starting to admire you a little. Lisedal sneered unceremoniously.

"Enough, for whatever reason, anyway, now we no longer recognize that Romerdal has the power to lead the whole of Navi. In the same way, we no longer recognize his previous division of the tribal territories. Therefore we demand the most abundant region that Otto has always occupied. Hagensen was no longer impatient to talk to each other.

"In that case, then we don't have anything to say, let Odin decide who is right and who is wrong." Gronshire uttered the heaviest words in the last moments.

"So be it!" Hagensen nodded viciously in agreement.

"It's up to Odin to decide!" Fallirus turned and shouted at Mehraphim and Arioto's men.

When the Navi heard of this decision, they cheered at the same time. It may be difficult for the world to comprehend their enthusiasm for battle, especially for a country as self-proclaimed as civilized as Mastar. So, in these countries, the Navi are often portrayed as a ferocious, bloodthirsty barbarian people. And they did not know that because of their unique religious beliefs, it would be a great honor for the Nawi to be able to die heroically in a fierce battle. Odin's messenger, Valkyrie, will take their souls to Valhalla, the heavenly Valhalla, where they will enjoy all the pleasures imaginable.

When the Navi had completed their simple formation, the battlefield fell into a dead silence. It was not because of cowardice that they did not dare to start the battle, but because they were too nervous and excited, everyone became a little overwhelmed.

This was especially true for Starr, who was standing on the battlefield for the first time, his whole body tense, and his hands fumbled back and forth on the handle of the weapon in a nutshell. Starr felt that he had all the power, but he couldn't seem to use it, so he kept touching the weapon to increase his confidence.

"Take it easy, kid." A large hand was placed on his shoulder.

Starr looked back and saw Romerdal looking at him gently, like a father looking at his own son.

"I know, honorable Romerdal." Starr's shoulders, which had shrugged out of nervousness, suddenly unloaded and relaxed.

"You don't have to be too nervous, Starr, you're in the reserves." Lisedar suddenly interjected, and the originally somewhat solemn atmosphere was blown away in an instant.

"Why do I have to go to the reserves?!" Starr was a little annoyed, this was the first time he had fought in his life, as a warrior. This is a very important thing for the boy of Navi.

"The reason is simple, you are not old enough, even Resel is in the reserves. And you're not a patriarch yet, otherwise you could have stood in the first row. Risedar said, lifting Starr by the collar and dragging him in front of Ressel.

"Bring you a new companion, Ressel, and you can keep an eye on him for me."

"Damn Lisedal!! When I become the patriarch, I will have you to look good. ”

"I'll wait~~" Lisedar replied nonchalantly.

And at this moment, the first person finally appeared to break through the invisible barrier formed by tension. Falirul's side launched a charge first, and the situation in the whole depression immediately exploded like a handful of salt in a pan of oil.

Not a single Navi would cower in such a situation, and there is no word for "back" in their war dictionary. Both sides were shouting, screaming, and roaring as they rushed over, and if someone stood on the side to watch the battle, he should be able to clearly feel what "the earth is trembling" is all about.

"Fearless Nawei charge" -- this term is mentioned in many military textbooks, and when people read it in books, most people may scoff at it. In the eyes of the layman, no matter how brave the Navi were, they could defend against the Navi attack in other ways. But this was not the case, as early as the time of the Artikat Empire, the Imperial army had repeatedly clashed with the Navi. In the absence of auxiliary light infantry, the Empire's proud phalanx of heavy infantry was often easily broken by the Navi.

"A Navi man, after running three hundred steps with all his might, can still easily knock down a bull." Such a stroke was written in the writings of some Imperial officers who had returned from the front.

What's more, in a battle in 158 B.C., the Iberian Front saw a squadron of 300 heavy cavalry annihilated in the first round in a head-on confrontation with the Navi infantry. Eventually, the Imperial army lost the battle because the flanks were outflanked.

Eggs will definitely break when they hit a stone, but what happens if a stone collides with a stone? No matter if the stone shattered first, the first sparks would have been unavoidable.

At this moment, the formations of the two sides have collided in a narrow depression. The contact in the first row seemed to be very technical and was completely outrageous, and many were simply thrown to the ground. However, this is not the case. If we look closely, we can easily see that more young fighters are suffering greatly in this kind of confrontation. And an experienced warrior like Gronchar, at the moment of first contact, used some simple common sense in human mechanics to knock those strong young warriors on their backs.

The "Battle of the Depression" has never been a staple in military history books, because frankly speaking, the battle had no tactical content at all. Perhaps because of the haste of the moment, even the side with the "Navi's brains" has not worked out any decent tactics at all. It's always been a strange place. In hindsight, it is common to comment harshly: "The kingdom of Navi was established in a great brawl of unprecedented proportions. ”

Like the Pharisens, the leaders of Navi need to be on the front line. Even if you don't rush to the front, you should be in a place where the warriors can see you. On this point, Gronshar undoubtedly carried it out very well, and the fighters of Misharu rallied tightly around him. With Gronchar as the center, step by step they disintegrate the enemies that stand in their way. Their patriarch is the "first brave man of Nawei", and whoever faces him must be somewhat fearful.

Gronchar's strengths are clear, and although he is so brave, many of his opponents have been knocked out by him with just one face. But he was able to control his spirit well, and he was 100 percent into the fight, but he didn't lose his mind by the blood. This is very rare, and it is because of this that Gronchar is both powerful and benevolent.

In contrast, Falirus of Arioto was completely mired in the hope of killing, like a symbol of his clan. It is said that even if the wolf cannot eat all the sheep, it will still bite most of the sheep to death after breaking into the flock. Faliru's eyes were already blinded by blood, and in his eyes, he was just constantly judging which one should be the next target. He ferociously pushed his comrades away, and carelessly smashed the skulls of several inexperienced rookies, not caring at all about the flesh and blood of others staining his body.

The Ariotos followed their patriarch and soon gained an advantage in one direction. Unfortunately, it was perhaps a stroke of luck for Faliru's side – they were directly facing the position of Lisedar. "Navi's Brainchild" arrived at the battlefield a little late because he had just gone to take care of the future patriarch of Mebris. Therefore, he happened to be with a group of inexperienced young warriors of his own clan, and as the patriarch, it was naturally impossible for Lisedar to let them squander their precious lives. If you play badly and die, you won't be able to get into Valhalla.

Because of this, Lisedar has put himself in a dangerous position.
