Chapter 130: The Sinless City

As the capital of the small country of East Mist, historic city Diffindor was quite renowned in the entire world However, the tourists ere visiting the city for the first tiht that awaited thenificence of the capitals of other massive countries On the contrary, it was ruinous and to this day, s still stood While ancient architecture orth looking at and appreciating as an art for in that kind of attraction

The city randest city walls and defensive capabilities in the entire Northern Lands, but the population living in it was far froht Despite that only a third of the city was still in use, the people in the city were still sparse

The Mist Bloodline had guarded the northern borders of the human society for several thousand years, and this ancient city which had undergone innumerable battles was its capital History records that this city had been purged by foreign tribes three times, but the people of Mist still stood time after time to reclaim their territory to rebuild their capital

In the long annals of history, it wasn’t the barbarian invasions of the powerful foreign tribes that dealt her the fatal blow It was the dagger in the back that almost reduced this infallible ancient, historic city into ruins

“1520 AD, after guarding this city for 15 unpowder and provisions, the human alliance ar city of Mist Country, its capital Diffindor Prince Roland and the troops he led died in the city”

This simple one line description ritten in the historical books However, to the people of Mist, this was a grudge that they carved into their bones

That year, under the suht, seventeen countries cae of the lapse in the Mist Country’s defense, when itswith the Beastger violently into its back Then, their purging of the city directly caused Diffindor to becoe of the Undead Knights blinded by vengeance and the Deht turned the seventeen countries into history, thus causing the ic loss of huht cannot be trusted The darned hudoms and nobility are even less credible!”

This had been the solemn vow the people of Mist carved into their bloodline after being betrayed three hundred years ago From there on, that was also how they operated

More than two hundred years ago, the founder of East Mist Communal Country, Charles the 1st, claimed to be Roland’s descendant and drove away the Beastht a portion of the Mist Country’s territory back from the Elves and rebuilt the Mist Country

In order to purify the Land of Death so as to establish Diffindor as its capital once more, Charles had requested the assistance of the Church of Holy Light back then Even though the Pope had expended y to turn the Land of Death into a suitable living place, the perception of the people of Mist only i stones behind their back to sneering at theional branch in their lands Furthermore, this was in consideration of the fact that Prince Roland used to be a Holy Knight

Of course, given that the faith of Holy Light was the main faith of human society, the Mist Country’s hostility towards the Church of Holy Light and other countries caused it to be isolated froain This was also one of the radual downfall

However, the stubborn Northerners never regretted their actions Anyway, they were already viewed as barbarians by the “civilized” others, so it shouldn’t htlyin Gods living above the clouds, they believed more in the swords in their hands and the protection of their ancestors However, when they were vieith enmity by the rest of the world, and had been pulled into innumerable wars, it see its end

However, there was a person who didn’t agree with it He intended to work together with the new Mist Bloodline to reverse this hopeless situation

Today was the day that would go down in history

The day had barely brightened, and the citizens deep in sleep awakened to the cheerfulhorses could be heard froing and rousing this ancient city from its slumber

A red carpet was laid at the entrance of the city gates The royal fauards and band started to play a tune as the Royal Knights begin to position theuards on the city wall tossed flower petals of all colors doard This was the prelude to theof a festival that everyone enjoyed However, the one that was held a year ago was for a battle a year ago that resulted in great losses for East Mist and the Beast loo this victorious ain, the civilians walked out of their doors excitedly and a coates

“The victory ht any war recently Could it be that the Knights had went to hunt down the beast packs recently?”

“Are you a fool? Princess Reyne’s diplomatic visit to the Auland Empire is so successful this tiains from a war”

“So that’s the reason! Princess Reyne has returned? Yeah, thinking about it now, it’s about ties froe amount of resources had arrived at their country earlier than the princess The overjoyed crowd filled both ends of the street as they awaited the return of their princess, hoping to present their welco princess

Kachi kachi A of the tires, when the ure that entered caused everyone to freeze

“Princess? That’s not it”

That person may have shared many traits with the princess, but there were alsofeatures between them

Princess Reyne wasn’t that tall, nor was her face that mature More importantly, that older version of the ice ar man with a smile on his face

“He seeer on it…”

“Statue! The Twin Stars Statue!”

“Yes, if Prince Roland was at this age, this should how he should look!”

“They really look identical! That disposition, that smile and that Roland Sacred Sword by his waist… Wait, Roland Sacred Sword!”

In the depictions of the statues, theThere wasn’t a single Mist citizen who did not know the design of the sword Furtherlow, siends Also recorded in the legends was that this sword fell along with Prince Roland

While the citizens were shocked over the Roland Sacred Sword, the Royal Knights, who had only received the orders to play the melody for the hts behind the young man entered the city, everyone was shocked

Those fas swayed with the wind as the Undead Knights hts could draw their swords as a precaution against the man’s declaration echoed in the entire city under the assistance of Aht Roland, the final king of Mist Country, have returned along with hts”

The red carpet beneath our feet couldn’t be considered high-tier, and it was a little shabby to be using it to welcoazed at the Mist citizens before hts had stepped into the city At this point, they had already throay all of their doubts and the fiery soulfire in their eyes displayed their resolute will

Yes, they had nothing to worry about, and there was nothing for the back to their country Even if changes had occurred to their bodies, the heart of a traveler craving to return back to their hoed

Soon after I passed the city gates, Reyne, as riding on a Frigid Nightmare, appeared with a smile Her presence effectively soothed the tense atmosphere initiated by the presence of the Undead

“Princess Reyne? What is that? That lustrous white hthts! I never thought that I would be able to witness the legendary Aurora Knight withman is really Prince Roland?”

While the citizens of East Mist were shocked by the reappearance of the Frigid Nightht for advancing to becohtthe authenticity of “Prince Roland’s” identity

Fifty-four Frigid Nighth the knights riding on thenition, the identically sculpted ice armors couldn’t possibly lie In the past, that soul e of the Mist Country More is dispelled all doubts of their identities

“The Order of Aurora Knights! It is the Aurora Knights Order, the legendary knight order that was able to easily defeat an army a hundred times its size! That was the hts of the Northern Lights who had do for strength Throughout the years, when East Mist was suppressed and bullied by the other nations, the people of Mist couldn’t help but recall their previous glory

“Are those Alchehts of the Beasthts were still here, those shameless fools would never be able to be so audacious!”

As their own knights got beaten down innumerable times due to the difference in the level of equipeneration to the next Eventually, the lahs of helplessness and despair Sometimes, they couldn’t help but accept the fact that their ho as it used to be

“The Mist Country which used to dominate the world with their cavalry has became a weak nation with no powerful troops”

For a period of time, there were ruht of an Aurora Knight in the Auland Empire However, to the Mist citizens ere aware of the history of the Frigid Nightmares, they knew that it was impossible So, they sih, if only it were true If we still had Aurora Knights on our side, it would be impossible for the others to step on us”

At this moment, Princess Reyne, who the citizens were fahtly even in the htmare in the shape of a horned beast verified those ruhts had returned to the world!

“Is it our Princess who has brought back our pride, the strongest Aurora of the Northern Lands?”

“That is Knight Captain Elohiht! The Heavens have blessed our Mist Country, the Aurora Knights have returned us! We will no longer be that weak third-rate country anyhts hts However, to the Mist citizens, they were the syth of the Mist Country when it was at its peak, the precious jewel that they hoped to regain

The reason why I had the Undead and Aurora Knights line up at the front, putting Reyne and Elohim in the midst of them, was to lower the hostility the citizens may have held towards the Undead, as well as to establish some correlations within the minds of the citizens

“Could that man truly be Prince Roland? Could it be that those Undead are the final Aurora Knights in the Battle of Diffindor?”

As the host, Reyne knehat to do after I shot an encouraging look at her

The young, feht stepped out of the for citizens She took over the possession of the Roland Sacred Sword froo down in the annals of history

“I, Reyne Qin Mist, a descendant of Mist royalty, in hopes of regaining the ht of our country, found hts! Frohts will shi+ne in the Northern Lands once again! Under His Highness and the loyal Order of Royal Knights under his command, our East Mist will rise anew!

“Perhaps some worry about their identities as Undead However, I can use uarantee that they are existences worthy of trust My people, I know that you all have your oorries and hesitation After all, they have all became Undead Yet, back then, they used their lives to protect their own city Now they stand up once e their friends and fah they are currently Undead, and there is a risk of their souls being eradicated by such a course of action, they chose to help us Towards these Knights, what do we have to doubt?”

The declaration of the young, fee of Aht voice resounded to and fro in the city In fact, even before she made that declaration, the radiance of the symbol of royal authority, the Roland Sacred Sword, had already ignited passion in the hearts of the citizens

“The Roland Sacred Sword! Holy Knight Roland and his Order of Royal Knights have returned! Our Princess has found the ht order!”

Facing the agitated crowd, Reyne paused for a slight ht be scary, but look at the emblems they bear on their arone countless wars The Will of Mist will never yield, and the Mist War Flag will never fall Even after their deaths, they still continue to protect their homeland Isn’t this another form of the Will of Mist? If we can’t believe them, who can we believe? Are we to believe in the untrustworthy Holy Light instead?”

Due to the lack of tiuide Reyne on her speech Looking at the iht Reyne, I couldn’t help but to smile in relief

While Reyne was still in the antic beast swooped across the sky, generating countless cries of shock

“Bone Dragon? No, there’s someone on top!”

“He actually juht!”

Upon landing, Ti Since the Roland Sacred Sword and Reyne had already verified

“Tiht of the Mist Country In the Scott Aerial Battle, our Black Griffon Riders unit were besieged by enemies who outnumbered them by round troops, the unit fought bravely to their deaths, and Tihts that were attacking him simultaneously!”

Despite the intentionally flat voice, my words still stirred countless shocked exclaons stood at the very top of the food chain An ultihts could only be found in the greatest of the e that the current East Mist dared not even think about Based on historical records, the Mist Country of the past did possess nuined that after such a long tiht with their own eyes

“Our aerial unit consists of a group of young men, but due to the brutality of an aerial duel, the losers often do not leave a corpse behind Even though the aerial unit is the elites of the Mist Country, only Tieance against those darned invaders!”

After bowing, the proud sole Dragon Knight waved the Black Griffon War Flag and led the way on the red carpet of victory, as though he was a brave warrior who returned victoriously from war No, he was indeed a brave warrior who returned victoriously frohts Vile Undead? No! We are just a foolish bunch who returned from hell due to the reluctance to accept the occupation of our beautiful Mist Country by invaders!”

As Tihts proceeded forward side by side, those alked through the city gates behind theo on a recollection of their history

“Polar Bear Squad, the heavy infantry of the royal fa of the remains of two squads near the end of the war Equipped with Avalanche Guardian plates, they are our strongest barrier and fortress! After going through innuest in their est, is Carlos Tills”

I nodded hts to the world

“He is the ‘Mobile Fortress’ I rely on In order to cover the escaping refugees, he used his body of flesh and blood to ja blades of the invaders Back then, he died fro pierced by hundreds of arrows By then, his blood had already flowed dry frole bone of his body was complete In the end, he could only coht who I am so proud of even now, Carlos Tills, was only fifteen year old”

It was hard to iine how an Abomination could show a look of e his head in embarrassment towards the citizens His smile still remained as it was in his youth

“Perhaps you all have never heard of Aser troop Their representative is our heroic scout…

“The Knight of Swift Wind, Slance, ht, but he is one of the backbones of the army of the Mist Country…

“Oh, this is Great Sword Saint Fayde I’m sure that you all must have heard of his nahts Of course, that is if his father, the old Sir Ferdinand doesn’t undercut his position…

“This is…”

One by one, the nahts were listed, followed by the identity of the knight and their past exploits That history of their resolute determination appeared before the eyes of the citizens once hts used to be the legendary heroes of the Mist Country

Going by the traditions of the Northerners, if they were upstanding heroes when they were alive, then they were figures worthy of respect even after their deaths

Since the unknown could bring about fear, then allowas they had not sinned, even as Undead, the loyal and powerful knights would only be a pride of mine, so there was no reason for me to conceal their existences

However, soree
