“…… When night descends on the earth, the ghosts and spirits that hide in the depths of the thorny jungle reach out to the already exhausted. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info At this moment, some people panicked, some people complained, and some people openly blamed Eagle who led them to escape from foreign slavery.

'You ugly monsters, get out of the way of my people!!' Iger's strong voice came from the darkness.

The crowd followed the prestige, and saw him holding a sharp blade in one hand and a heart in the other. That's right, that's Iger's heart. The hero's heart burned with his roar, shining brightly. In people's eyes, this light symbolizes hope and security; In the eyes of the goblins, this light is their natural enemy. The people reunited around the hero and followed him onwards. The goblins fled in fear of the sun-like rays. The blood of the hero dripped in his footsteps, and it burned the dark thorns in his path, opening a smooth road for the people.

When dawn returns, the light has erased the fog that has obscured people's eyes, and they are presented with a beautiful home. There is fertile land here; There are rushing rivers; The fields are full of ripe fruit; The forest is full of fat prey. People cheered and rushed to their new homes.

At this time, no one noticed that the hero Eagle had shed his last drop of blood, and his heart was gradually extinguishing the flame that had burned so much. The hero took one last look at his compatriots, who had attained happiness, and fell down with a smile. That noble heart was also burned out and turned black, and was inadvertently kicked into the weeds as an ordinary earth stone......

"And then?" The little girl listening to the story asked.

"There is no later, if there is, it is probably because people continue to live in the new land." The storyteller flicked the dim fire. "I'm sorry, Natasha, I'm only going to tell such a depressing story."

"If that Eagle knew that his people would eventually forget him, would he still do that?"

"I don't know, kid." The man thought for a moment and continued, "Still, I think he'll do that. ”

"Aren't heroes supposed to be admired for generations?"

"True heroes don't expect those, they always sacrifice without hesitation, and then ...... Forgotten ......"

"Sir, continue to teach me tomorrow."

"What do you want to learn?"

"Everything that makes me stronger."

"Then go to bed quickly, and wake up early tomorrow."

"yes, okay." The little girl agreed, but after a few seconds she came out of the blanket and asked, "Sir, what kind of man will my father be?" ”

"According to your mother, he is your sweetest father, and that's it. Sleep, kid. ”

―――――― lazy divider――――――

On the continent of Articut, when it comes to the vastness of the continent, it is obvious that Renolsk is the first thing that comes to mind. The Renosk people are the dominant ethnic group in Renosk and have consistently made up more than seventy percent of the country's total population overall. During the time of the Yartikat Empire, Renoske, like Pharensi and Navi, was regarded as an uncivilized barbarian.

Unlike Farency and Navi, the fighting power of the Renosk people could not attract the attention of the Imperial Expeditionary Force at first, and the Renosk people had few achievements worth mentioning before the Gregorian era on the mainland. At that time, the army of the Imperial Governor in Renosk was largely defeated by the Pamis and Hitaros, and to be precise, the Imperial army stationed there was wiped out when it rushed to the aid of the garrisons in the other two countries. Then the Turansky dynasty ascended to the throne of this huge state almost without the slightest resistance.

However, the ability of the Tulansky dynasty to succeed is not to be underestimated because it was so easy for it to succeed. Like almost all dynasties, the Tulansky dynasty burst into extraordinary vitality at the beginning of its founding, thanks to the emergence of a constant stream of capable monarchs.

Before independence, the whole of Lenorsk was still mainly a semi-nomadic economy due to its relatively cold climate. In contrast, Parmis had long succeeded in dividing the country into two parts, animal husbandry and agriculture, according to the regional climate; As for Hitarus, the country was already recognized as a civilized state long before the creation of the Yartikat Empire.

The first king of the Tulansky dynasty, Nicholas I, was originally a middle-level tax collector who was well aware of the importance of economics to a regime. Therefore, during his reign, he actively expanded the economy. In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people, Nicholas I issued a law, stipulating that each adult man only needs to continue to cultivate 1 mansos (note: here 1 mansos = 20 hectares = 300 acres, but according to our Carolingian ancient system, 1 mansos is equivalent to an area of 720 poles long and 30 poles wide, and 1 pole is equal to 16 and 1/2 feet, that is to say, 1 mansos = 0.54 square kilometers, which is about 800 acres) for 5 years, and this land belongs to him forever. However, the Renosk people were not born agrarians, so in order to attract skilled foreign farmers to help develop agriculture in the country, the king continued to issue a law stipulating that foreigners would also have ownership of the land as long as they could cultivate the same size for eight years. Finally, the king also issued a law that these land titles should be respected by all subsequent monarchs. This was the initial condition for the birth of the special class of "single-court landlords" in Renolsk.

In the 48th year of the Gregorian calendar, Ivan II, the third monarch of Reynoske, who came to be known as "Ivan the Terrible", encountered a major problem shortly after he succeeded to the throne: the invasion of Hitaros. At that time, although the Hitarus army could not be said to be one of the best on the mainland, it was also well-equipped, and they had annihilated the local garrison imperial army by their own strength, so it should be said that their strength was not weak.

On the other hand, on the Lenoske, in the words of Sisyphus, the commander of the Hitaros army at the time, "That place was a whole herd of farmers, swineherds, and cowherders." Although there is contempt, it also tells most of the facts.

However, the Hitaros seem to have forgotten something, and the land of Rynosk is not the only one that lives. The second largest ethnic group in Renoske, the Heylemans, are not fuel-efficient lamps, and as a nomadic people with a long history, they are extremely good at fighting on horseback. Another characteristic of this tribe is very strange, the Heilman people are famous for their beautiful women, but it seems that their folk songs rarely mention the word "handsome", which means that their men are very sorry for their appearance.

From the time of Nicholas I, the monarchs of Lenosque paid attention to their relationship with Heilmann, who promised them privileges, protected their interests, and expanded their pastures. But it is not blindly flattering, but with an attitude that is neither humble nor arrogant, it attracts these grassland peoples. Soon the attitude of the Heilmanns towards the central power in Thebes became both joyful and respectful. So when Ivan II called them up, they gladly went with the king.

After leaving their hilly terrain, the Hitaros were extremely uncomfortable in the vast plains. Although they had a wealth of experience in fighting against the Imperial Army of Articut and the Army of Mastar, it was clear that they were now facing an unconventional armed force. After three months of fighting, the Hitarus army had to retreat due to harassment and lack of supplies.

This victory greatly encouraged the Renosks, but Ivan II was keenly aware that the rule of the Tulansky dynasty in the land could not be guaranteed without a strong and effective army. So, while rewarding the Heilmans, he ordered his subjects to learn cavalry tactics from them; On the other hand, he sent men to Mastar to help fight against Pamis and Hitarus, and to learn from them the tactics of heavy infantry and the imperial art of war that had been passed down from the past.

As Ivan II later proudly declared: "The Renosk people are the hardest farmers who take up agricultural tools, and the bravest soldiers when they take up arms." "The combat effectiveness of the Lenorsk Army has made a qualitative leap in just five years. In both battles of Kashni, Ivan II defeated the army of Citarus, losing more than 30,000 men and 100,000 mansos (20,000 square kilometers) in both battles.

Relying on the victory over Hitarus, Ivan II's ambitions gradually swelled. In the 62nd year of the Gregorian calendar, 80,000 Reynolds troops and 20,000 Heilman cavalry entered the heart of the continent of Scaran. Obviously, Ivan II saw the weakness of Mastar, because at this time Mastar was being held back by Nacibis, and his power in Scaran was repeatedly attacked by Pamis. The Renoskes came with the intention of conquering the original Articut Empire.

However, there are no eternal enemies in this world. King Pamis - Adelka I saw through the ambitions of the Renoskes from thousands of fars. His vision was validated when Ivan II captured the Skalan capital, Urayuyi, and arrogantly declared that he should be the successor to the Yartikat Empire. At that time, the Reynosk Empire was established, and Ivan II was crowned the first tsar in the history of Lenoske, so he was later called Ivan the Great. Urayuu was looted by the Reynos army, and for the country-born, single-court landlords, Scaran's wealth was completely unimaginable. And just as the Lenoskes were plundering Scaran, an anti-Lenosk coalition had quietly formed.

In May of the 63rd year of the Gregorian calendar, Titus I of Mastar, after secretly negotiating peace with Fran I, the "Sun King" of Nasibis, led 85,000 officers and soldiers of the Central Army and the North into Scarland. He joined forces at Grandia with the army of Parmis under Adrica I, who brought with them five thousand cavalry commanders and his own Praetorian cavalry. Together with the remnants of the Juliora family of Scarlan, the two armies met the Reynosque army at Grantia, known as the "First Battle of Grandia". The battle lasted five days, and after a hard battle, the coalition finally repelled the Lenoske army, but also paid the price of more than 50,000 men. Three wing commanders were killed on the side of the Mastar, and Titus I was also slightly wounded; On the side of the Parmis army, one commander of 10,000 cavalry was killed, and five commanders of 1,000 cavalry were also lost.

On the other hand, Lenoske, although it suffered losses of up to 63,000 men, had to withdraw from Scaran due to the entry of the Citarus army. But this battle showed the countries of the East its terrible fighting power. The "Wing Husa", which was dominated by Heylemans and Dull landlords, also showed strength enough to confront the cavalry of Parmis. Thus, the First World War established itself as a great power on the continent. Mastar, for its part, could only acquiesce in the fact that it had become an empire, and even a diplomatic verbal condemnation was perfunctory.

Reynoske's expansion was temporarily curtailed after the First Battle of Grandia, and Ivan the Great realized that he had lost the best chance of his life to defeat Mastar and dominate the continent, so he began to follow his grandfather's example and devote more energy to running the country's economy for the rest of his reign.

"I've been too keen on war all my life, don't learn from me." The first tsar of Lenolsk said this to his successor on his deathbed.

In the years that followed, every Tsar of Renolsk seemed to have carefully followed the teachings of their ancestors. Although they still had to fight the two nations, the war ended quickly and within a tolerable range on both sides.

In the year 189 of the Gregorian calendar, Lenolsk welcomed her 10th Tsar, Peter III, who was very young when he ascended the throne, only 27 years old. It can be said that at his age, his mind will be somewhat full of some wonderful ideas. At that time, Renolsk had been repeatedly defeated in the wars with Pamis and Hitaros, so there was no progress in expanding on land. The landlords of the detached courts everywhere had long been dissatisfied with this situation, and they needed a new place to plunder their wealth.

Peter III was at first quite troubled by the complaints of his subjects, and in the face of the Pamis-Hitarus alliance, he could not do anything to break the predicament on land at that time. However, as we mentioned earlier, this tsar is not the kind of mediocrity that would be trapped in habitual thinking. After some thought, he made a surprising idea to his subjects: since we can't break through on land, why don't we try our luck at sea?

This whimsical idea was met with ruthless opposition at the first time, and the Winghusa shouted: "Do you want us to teach our war horses how to swim and charge?!" ”

Ignoring the hustle and bustle of the landlords and the Heilmanns, Peter III personally led a group of men who traveled long distances in disguise to Zigner, the undisputed overlord of the seas at the time, to seek advice on shipbuilding and seamanship and knowledge. After 10 years of preparation, Lenolsk built a maritime force with sufficient strength. However, Reynolds' geographical location meant that their sailing path was full of dangers and opportunities.

Renosque is located at the westernmost tip of the continent of Articut, and to the west is the endless, choppy Sea of Yunvit. The exploration of this sea was very poor at the time, people knew nothing about it, and compared to the Iswana Sea and the Ihl Sea, it was a place full of wealth and dreams. And, from the mouths of the fishermen of the West Coast, who have limited access to the sea, it is clear that the Yunwit Sea definitely has the most brutal and ruthless temperament in the world.

Peter III was clearly a man who liked to challenge difficulties, and he was relentless in sending fleets to the seas for exploration. It is evident that the first few trips to sea suffered significant losses. The ship, which had been built with a lot of manpower and material resources, was ruthlessly crushed by the storm and then sank to the bottom of the sea; Most of the experienced crew members also died in the belly of the fish. Nature and man put a lot of pressure on the young monarch, but Peter III also had his stubborn side, and he was resolute in his ideals. As the saying goes, "Opportunity only takes care of the prepared mind." Peter III's persistence bore fruit, and the expedition discovered a huge island off the coast of Yunwitt, the island of Luspel. According to modern surveys, we know that the island is 187,400 square kilometers, about a quarter the size of Chigna. Naturally, for the Renosk people the land equaled wealth, and to hold the land needed an army. Therefore, through the above simple reasoning, the people of Renosk understand that it is very necessary to maintain a strong navy.

Newfound wealth is naturally coveted, as was the case with the Efini kingdom on Anvaras. Thus, in the time of Peter III, the Renoskes fought two wars in succession with Efini in the western seas. However, the Efinians' lost confidence in the Chigna did not regain their confidence in the Reynoskes, although the Efini army managed to land on the island and gained the upper hand. But their navy was unlucky, suffering heavy losses under the double flanking of bad weather and the Renoskes. In the end, in order to save the lives of up to 48,000 of his army's soldiers, Efini was forced to make peace with Reynolds. After paying a large amount of money, he withdrew from the battle for the rights and interests of Yunwei Tehai. Of course, the Renoskes also knew that their victory was stained with geographical advantages, so they did not move south to invade the Polyana Sea.

As we mentioned earlier, during the time of Ivan the Great, Renolsk had to terminate his ambitions because of the sudden intervention of Pamis. So, it is clearly unrealistic to make the Renolsk tsar completely forget about this hatred. And Pamis at the beginning of the third century of the continental Gregorian calendar, due to the unprecedented development of cavalry tactics, achieved an overwhelming advantage over Mastar in the direction of Scaran. The Battle of Tikrio in 238 of the continental Gregorian calendar turned Pamis into a complete victory, and the Western army lost 74,000 men in this battle; The Central Army lost 17,000 men; Emperor Maximilian II was seriously wounded and died on the way back to Shurasa. Pames' power has swelled to an unprecedented size. As many years ago, no one on Yartikat wanted a superpower on the continent, and the former enemies united for the same reason.

At that time, Mastar needed to heal his internal and external wounds, and Nacibis remained at ease. So for Pamis, only Renolsk is the only neighboring country that can pose a threat to her. So, the cavalry galloped from the south to the northwest and launched an attack on Lenolsk.

This intermittent war lasted for nearly a century, and although the Renosques were defeated by the Pamisian cavalry, they relied on their vast territory to fight stubbornly against each other. In the seventy years from 247 to 317 in the continental Gregorian calendar, the Parmis occupied almost half of the territory of Renolsk at the most; The seventeenth to thirty-ninth battles of Thebes also took place during these 70 years. Later the Renosk people called it the "First Great Patriotic War", and the average continental historian called it the "Seventy Years' War".

Then, a turning point came. This turning point came from a rather folklore story. It is said that the Tsar of the time, Alexander II (r. 310-328), was defeated in a battle with the Pamis, and the situation was so distraught that the Tsar and his Janissaries were separated and he fled for his life alone. Resting in a wooded area after a night of travel, Alexander II sat on the ground, deeply worried for his homeland. The Tsar's sorrow was seen by a sheep herder who asked why the Tsar was so sad, and the Tsar replied that he was not able to lead an army to defeat the invading Pamis, so he was sad. As a result, the sheep herder said to the Tsar, please don't worry, in another three years, when he is older, he can drive out the Pamis for Renoske. The Tsar only thought that this was a kind child to comfort himself, so he just smiled bitterly and did not take it to heart.

However, in the spring of 315 in the mainland calendar, a young man with a militia of volunteers came to Thebes to meet the Tsar.

"My Emperor, I have come to fulfill my promise three years ago, and the minister is Eagle Wallensky." The young man nodded on one knee in front of the tsar and said such things.

Alexander II's surprise was of course, and he later said: "When I saw Wallensky's eyes, I suddenly felt as if I was really looking at the hero who led the Renosk people to this land in legend." At that time I was told by reason that I could not just leave the fate of the country in the hands of a fledgling young man, but I was suddenly filled with a sense of sacredness, and I had a confidence that was incomparably reliable. ”

Although Alexander II said so, he was still a cautious man. He first replenished Warensky with a number of experienced soldiers, and then asked him to deal with some small groups of enemies. Wallensky lived up to expectations, he easily defeated those enemies. So, the tsar decided to take the young man into battle, but only in the hope that his presence would give him a little courage and confidence.

In the autumn of 315 A.D., the Rynosk and Pamis armies fought in the Marinder Forest on the eastern shore of Lake Cuez, the gateway to Thebes, and if they were defeated here, the fortieth defense of Thebes would be imperative. In this battle, the Lenosk Army had 137 infantry "Khrugvi" and 33 winged Husa "Khrugvi", totaling more than 91,000 people. The Parmis side dispatched 40,000 cavalry commanders and an infantry commander, numbering between 88,000 and 95,000. In terms of troops, the two sides were evenly matched, but at least 80 "Khrogwigwig" of the Renosk Army were hastily assembled civilian troops, so the quality was clearly at a disadvantage.

Sure enough, at the very beginning of the battle, the Pamis cavalry easily rushed through the 15 "Khorugvi" of the avant-garde. The Lenosk Army relied on the eight Khorugviches of the Janissaries in the center to support it, so that the front did not tend to collapse at the beginning. And when the Pamis began to bypass the heavy forces in the middle of the belly, routed the nine winged Husa "Khrugvi" who intercepted them, and turned to assault the left flank of the Reynosk army, it seemed that the victory or defeat of the battle would be revealed here.

But at this time, the infantry of the Parmis began to appear in a chaotic situation, and the 18 wings Husa "Khorugwe" arranged on the right flank seized the opportunity and launched a counterattack, successfully crushing the 5,000 cavalry on the opponent's left flank in just half an hour, outflanking the opponent's central infantry formation. Subsequently, he was very lucky to kill the opposing infantry commander. The assault force of the Parmis on the right flank could not cope with it, and the Reynosk infantry, which had been constantly pressed by the frontal pinch, had no choice but to abandon the battle and cover the retreat of the infantry that had already collapsed. And at this time, Alexander II discovered that the 6 "Khogwe" of Wallensky, which had been placed in the reserve position, had long since left their positions and bypassed the Madryn Forest. It was they who managed to raid each other's backs.

After this battle, the tsar completely believed in this young man who was born as a sheep herder, and entrusted him with the responsibility of the battle. Wallensky lived up to the Tsar's expectations of him, and he advanced the front step by step, using various tactics to restrain the cavalry. On the other hand, Mastar, who had just lost Parelo to the Fallensi, redirected his strategy towards Scaran, forming an east-west echo with Reynoske. In just 2 years, Wallensky completely drove the Pamis back to the front of 247. In 317 A.D., Parmis and Renoske made peace, and after exchanging some prisoners with each other, they entered a brief period of peace.

Ten years later, in March 327 of the continental calendar, the Lenoske army invaded Pamis under the command of Wallensky. In the First Battle of Andalia, he annihilated 60,000 cavalry of Parmis in one fell swoop. In April of the same year, he captured Rubata, captured and killed Shamud VII, the king of Parmes, and divided the kingdom of Parmis in two. Renosque urged the Western Army of Marstar to move north as soon as possible in an attempt to divide the Pamis, but Count Ancelotti, the commander of the Western Army of Marstar, was defeated in the battle between Scarran and the Army of Pamis, and Count Ancelotti was dismissed from his post.

However, Lenoske's momentum lasted less than two years, and in May 328, Alexander II, who had fully supported Wallensky, died. Nicholas VI, who succeeded to the throne, suspected that the talented and highly decorated general had a disobedience to him, so he recalled him from the front and secretly poisoned him. Of course, there are also rumors that Nicholas VI fell for the counter-plot of Nazaraldin, the later prime minister of Parmis. Anyway, this act of self-destruction of the Great Wall is a great favor for the Pamis. At this time, the princes of the northern nomadic regions, who had been outside the central rule of the Pames, came under the command of the crown prince Arslang. The strength of the Amis army increased greatly and quickly returned to the level before the First Battle of Andalia, so before the year came, the Lenosk army retreated home after losing its troops. The two countries made peace again, and Reynolds paid Pamis 1.5 million solidas, to be repaid in 20 years, and a total of 2.28 million solidas with interest. This contract was fatal for the Turansky dynasty, and Nicholas VI was indeed a bad monarch, so the fate of the country will be in question.
