79 79. 26. It only came out after it collapsed (1) (1/2)

The time the Orcs spent wandering the North was not that long. It was only two months ago, and even before the damage spread, many cities could be missed by the Orcs' march after the horsemen of Balahad drove around the Orcs.

Nevertheless, there was little damage suffered by the North.

Nine cities became swarming fields. The nine armies that guarded the city were swept away by the Orcs. Unevacuated citizens have died countless times.

It could not be said that the human and material damage inflicted by the North had been sustained.

But the real damage was the spirit of the undermined Northerners.

What is the northern part?

Countless bloods were sprinkled on the ground until the fortress of winter came to a standstill. There was no land with white eyes and no dirt on it.

Those who couldn't do that to protect this land from the monsters threw my life like a rooster.

Only then did the fortress stand, and only then did this harsh land become the land of men.

Commitment and sacrifice.

For the Northerners, such a past was a proud tradition and a spirit to be used as a gift.

But the lords put their proud history and spirit in the trash.

The descendants of heroes who were responsible for protecting and protecting the people fled before the war broke out.

The Northerners, who were preparing to fight under the auspices of the Orcs, became lost.

Even they remained and insisted that they should not fight, but the messengers of Balahad appeared and kept silent to leave the territory.

Many have abandoned their barracks and abandoned their ancestral lands.

But not all those who had left were on the way to escape.

The ruler of the Balahard family is gathering troops, and the survivors of Winter Castle are preparing to fight again.

Twenty-two thousand men found the flag of the House of Balahard with real hope.

Finally, when they stood under a flag with three layers of shield engraved, they found out.

How long the Valrhad have been fighting lonely, and how the lords of the North have turned away from their screams.

The lords, who had fled cowardly, heard nothing of the end.

They were indignant, at the same time relieved.

I was glad I still had one left.

He paid tribute to the noble bloodline of the family who fought against the winter in a place no one knew, and he paid tribute to the warrior family members and soldiers who had been killed until the end.

They assembled under the banner of the Balahard family and decided to fight together.

Of course they were not soldiers. I have never been properly trained, nor have I learned how to fight fierce monsters.

You can't fight monsters with swords, even if they are men who have made a commitment to fight with their lives.

But with a bow and an axe, the story was different.

The northerners were basically good at handling bows and axes. Catching animals with bows in the rough ground was their daily routine, and grabbing axes and cutting down trees was an indispensable skill for them to overcome the harsh cold.

Setting traps and chasing after traces of animals was also a talent that was not very special to them.

And the talent they learned in life was not so different from the supplies that the rangers had to have by default.

Rangers of Winter Castle trained them as rangers.

Of course, they could not be the perfect rangers with only a short training until they reached the central line of defense. It was impossible to be the same level as the most outstanding winter rangers.

However, they were already in an essential condition, and all that was left was to acquire the invincible speculation of the Balearic Rangers through action.

And there was real progress. It was a battle with thousands of Orc Legions led by a monster called the King of Orcs who had never heard of it before.

Many died in battle. More survived the battle.

And the survivors refused to return to their homes and their homes.

They expressed their willingness to volunteer without you, and the new Count Baleard accepted them and formed a Ranger Corps of 1.

Of course, it was impossible as usual.

Even if so many troops had been conscripted at once, no matter how much they changed, the intention was doubtful and distressed. No, it must have been from the lords who took my people before.

And what about the enormous military expense?

However, the lords who would stand up and protest had already died, and the bloodline had not succeeded fully in the power of the household.

Military expenditures were covered by the base of Prince Maximilian II.

The two princes also demanded a great monetary reward in exchange for the sins of the central nobles who had fled the line of defense. The nobles, including the Count of Brandenburg, agreed to this.

They had to make up for the damage they had suffered in the war, and they had to ask for their sins to the end because they knew that the only dishonor they had was the ransom of the fugitive.

I have borne the burden of war on those who have not yet joined.

Twenty-three of the thirty-six families in the central region paid a great deal of money. Half of that amount was passed on to the Balahard family.

The war was over, but the atmosphere in the north was still different from the exhibition.

The main cities became chaotic fields, and the children of the warrior lords fought ostensibly for the inheritance of the family.

Those who gathered noble blood died without a sound.

At that time, the new messenger of Count Balahard stepped forward. No, it was the messenger of the prince, to be precise.

The First Prince summoned all the nobles of the north with the right of succession to the Winter Castle.

And there he chose the one who would inherit the family.

This was absurd. Normally, the royal family would have jumped the road because it violated the nobility's inherent rights and freedoms.

But no one argued about it.

The Balahard family, who had been looking beyond the fortress for hundreds of years, first exercised the power of change to the lords of the north and then supported them. Moreover, the reputation of one prince in the last battle with the Orcs was not good.

When the nobles fled and died miserably, the eldest son of a noble royal family was at the forefront of the fight.

The rumor of irreparable destruction and royal disgrace did not work, at least in the north.

Thousands of Northerners witnessed the desperate battle between Warlord and the Prince. And the traces of the terrible battle engraved all over the body of the prince proved this.

One prince who became the guardian of the north, the Balohad family, and the Savior of the north.
