"That period was indeed an impassioned Elegy and an epic. Although I had not experienced it, I could feel the grandeur of that era from the words left by my ancestors."
Old Harlan slowly told Nord what he knew, and his eyes were full of longing. Even though he was old, he still felt blood boiling when he recalled the history recorded on parchment when he was young.
Old Harlan tells more about than Tina. Maybe it''s because old Harlan has more complete information, and Nord also knows some history that Tina''s version doesn''t have.
In fact, the Amun mountains were originally the land where these barbarians lived. At that time, the boundary of Ericsson''s empire was not at the foot of the Amun mountains, but there was still a distance from the Amun mountains, but there were some same things. For example, the barbarians were very cruel.
Because the buffer zone of the Yameng mountains is actually the looting area of some barbarians who can''t live in the Yameng mountains. The barbarians living in the mountains and forests from beginning to end have no moral concept. They believe in the jungle law of the law of the jungle, so the mountain people in this land near the Yameng mountains really live in deep water and fire.
The reason why the war broke out was that a barbarian robbed the border. He attacked a small village of the Eresin empire. As mentioned earlier, the northern governor of the Empire declared war directly on the barbarians. Under the governor''s banner, the imperial army launched a vast war with these barbarians.
"The governor''s flag was painted on parchment by my ancestors. I was deeply impressed. It was an Amun eagle flying. The governor was also called an imperial eagle. His character was very tough, brave and good at fighting. Sometimes even his majesty wanted him to give him three points."
At this point, Harlan took a meaningful look at Nord, and Norton reacted. The eagle spreading its wings is not his family''s coat of arms? Is it true that his family was the governor of the Eresin empire before, which really surprised Nord.
No wonder before Harlan and from Harlan''s mouth, Nord also learned that when the war just started, it was not just so simple. If it weren''t for the strength of the northern territory of the Empire and the prestige of the governor, it was estimated that the Empire''s army would collapse. They didn''t expect that the combat effectiveness of the barbarians would be so strong.
Almost all the troops fighting against the barbarians were defeated. They felt that they were not fighting against humans, but against a monster. Only those elite soldiers and knights who fought with the governor could overcome their fear and bravely inflict heavy losses on the barbarians, otherwise the situation would collapse more seriously.
Later, the situation was like that described by Tina. The governor used the power of mixed race mountain people and the advantage of long-range archers to rush the barbarians to the depths of the mountains.
"You don''t know how grateful and worshipped the mountain people at that time. As long as the direction indicated by the Falcon flag, there must be countless mountain people gathered. The long-lasting war made the land of the Amun mountains red with blood. All the scenes at that time were recorded in the notes of my ancestors. Each of them was very proud. Under the leadership of the governor, they defeated A powerful barbarian. "
"Later, what happened to the barbarians?"
Nord was very concerned about this issue. Last time, Tina stopped here, because he didn''t know what happened later, because this history seemed to be hidden. Harlan looked at Nord calmly and said calmly:
"My ancestor was a knight under the governor at that time. Just after they drove the barbarians to the depths of the Amun mountains, the governor seemed to have received some news. He didn''t care to search for those fleeing barbarians in the mountains, so he withdrew directly with the army."
There was also a trace of doubt on the old man''s face. It was obvious that the iron governor was not an indecisive man. From his previous actions, we can see that he really wanted to kill these barbarians, otherwise he would not chase them to the depths of the Amun mountains.
"My ancestors were later retained by the governor. He led the mountain people to guard the exit of the Yameng mountains and didn''t let these barbarians escape from the Yameng mountains. At that time, the governor deployed fortifications along the south boundary mountain. The star studded stronghold north of the south boundary mountain was the defense line arranged by the governor. Even if he left in a hurry, he wouldn''t let his previous efforts be wasted."
The expression on Harlan''s face was a little complicated, because it was obvious that the ancestor of his family was an abandoned son. To be exact, they were abandoned by the governor. But old Harlan knew that the governor was right at that time. Some things had to be done by someone, and his ancestors were also willing.
"All the shanzhais and roads south of the southern boundary mountain were destroyed by the governor. Since then, the Shanzhai has been disconnected from the outside world. The governor never came back, and the traces of the barbarians have disappeared. Later, these things have been forgotten. Only our family can understand this history with the notes of our ancestors."
After listening to Harlan''s story, Nord was a little silent. The governor was really decisive. The means of abandoning the car and guarding the commander were very skilled. He would not be a veteran in the battle. Moreover, these people were not cars. At most, even a pawn. Nord would do the same if he met this kind of situation, right.
Nord asked himself that he still couldn''t bear it. Even if he did what he deserved, it was very difficult to do in practice. As the saying goes, kindness doesn''t lead the army. Nord is so hard hearted now. I hope his heart will harden after more things in the future. No one is born with a hard heart. Some are just indifference and reason after disaster.
"Do you hate him? He abandoned your ancestors?"
Nord felt guilty after his eyes. Although he didn''t know whether the governor was his own ancestor, Nord still wanted to say sorry to Harlan''s ancestors and the mountain people who stayed in the defense line, and was moved by their dedication.
Although Nord knows that not everyone is willing, because the governor destroyed the stronghold and road south of the southern boundary mountain, in addition to preventing the barbarians from coming out, he also cut off the road of these left behind people. The governor can be said to be ruthless and very cruel to his own people. Since he has decided to sacrifice, he will not leave any way to live.
"He''s right, isn''t he?"
Harlan looked at Nord with a free and easy smile and didn''t answer Nord''s question directly, but Nord could understand that his feelings for the governor must be very complex, and there must be hatred. After all, their family has been trapped in the mountains for generations because of the governor, but Nord can see from Harlan''s feelings for himself, He worshipped the governor at that time.
