At the time of the king's beheading of general Aton, the port of kosia was in the territory of Legrand.
The Jeanne of Warwick pirates was at the harbor. The tide was washing the ship. On the deck of the bow, three people stood quietly, looking north.
After many years, my old friends finally met again.
Captain Hawkins was still wearing the crooked black hat with the scar on his face slanting across his cheek. He narrowed his eyes slightly and held the bottle in his hand. Charles was wearing a neat black coat with double buttons. Next to him was the black haired Queen Mother Eleanor.
"Is this the ship he boarded?" Eleanor looked at a waterbird on a rope. "He told me it was Jennie
These memories are actually very far away, but when Eleanor talks about it, she feels as if it was yesterday.
She had just married the young monarch with sky blue eyes in her gorgeous dress and red carpet. On the second day of marriage, he took her to the highest tower of the Rose Palace, where all his treasures - many paintings - were sealed up.
Few people know that William III had superb painting skills.
He painted all the wonderful scenes in his memory: he rode with the Duke of Buckingham when he was young, took the sword from his father for the first time, became a knight, went out to sea and settled on the infamous pirate ship William III pointed to the picture of the pirate ship and said to her with a smile:
"this is an innocent little girl."
As soon as Queen Elinor's words fell, many rose flowers grew on the railings in front of her. In an instant, they bloomed and twisted into a corolla.
The vines spread and sent the corolla to Eleanor's head.
The black haired empress dowager, with a bright red rose crown, is as beautiful as if she were the young queen.
She raised her hand and gently helped the corolla.
The king may not know one thing The memory of the alchemy boat is better than that of human beings. At the moment when the king stepped on the deck, the ghost boat recognized him as William III's son, just as she recognized Eleanor as William III's "as beautiful as the rose".
Time is too long for human beings and too short for unnatural creatures.
It's so short that Jane clearly remembers William III and the black haired woman she described.
"She liked William very much at first, and now she likes you and your majesty." Charles patted the railing gently, as if he thought of something and laughed, "I don't know why, I just don't deal with the Duke of Buckingham."
On one side, Captain Hawkins leaned lazily against the railing and said, "that bastard almost burned Jennie's sails on the first day when he got on the boat. Jennie doesn't hate him Ha! That was the most embarrassing time for him! "
Charles looked at captain Hawkins with a smile and reminded him, "don't forget that it was you who made him think that we were really going to kidnap William You have a share of the credit for burning the sails. "
As soon as Charles spoke, the railing against which Captain Hawkins leaned "snapped" and suddenly separated himself.
"Hello
Captain Hawkins, unprepared, just called "Jennie" and fell into the sea.
"When the Duke of Buckingham was on the ship, it was almost like that." Charles said to Queen Elinor with a smile.
Elinor raised her eyebrows and was amused to think that the ever serious fellow of the Duke of Buckingham, like Captain Hawkins, had been thrown into the sea by Jennie.
The relaxed atmosphere diluted the light sadness of the reunion of old friends. The people who met again more than ten years later seemed to be back when they were young. Although they were also carrying heavy pressure, they were still laughing and scolding with high spirits.
Captain Hawkins climbed up wet from the water and wiped the water on his face. Just as he wanted to complain, a carrier pigeon landed on the ship.
Charles took the letter with a smile.
He opened the letter.
Almost as soon as the contents of the letter jumped into his eyes, the smile on his face froze.
"What's the matter?"
Hawkins rarely saw Charles look like this.
Charles took a deep breath. He raised his head slowly. The old days were peeling away in his always gentle eyes.
"He He died in the war. "
The beauty of the past is shattered. Time is in front of everyone again. Behind the three old friends, the tide rises and falls, and the sound of the sea remains unchanged.
……………………
Early in the morning.
In the misty light blue fog, a group of cavalry passed through the vast white snow, in which there was a carriage. The shimmering light tinted their armor with a light blue, cold metal hue, and the knight at the head was the king.
General Sheehan has arrived and is leading the army to recapture Newcastle castle. But when the war to recapture the castle was going on, the king was not on the battlefield. He led a team of cavalry around the castle and went straight to the place where the Duke of Buckingham had blocked Prince Will's battle.Taking back Newcastle castle is very easy for today's army.
As the king expected, the death of a hero has far more influence than the death of a prince with noble blood.
After general Aton's head was hanging outside the gate, the rebels in the middle of the North began to break up. At least at Newcastle, the nearest to banks, many defenders began to sneak away every day.
In fact, if the king had not arrived in time and won a miraculous battle, it would have been Legrand who faced this situation.
The fall of the Duke of Buckingham made the Empire lose her hero?
There was a new monarch in Legrand who took over the flag of the imperial lion, but Northland was not so lucky. When general Hearn led the follow-up troops to arrive, the king ordered the troops to move towards Newcastle castle, and the war against rebellion was finally on the right track.
When general Sheehan arrived, good news finally came from the other two armies.
There were three states participating in the rebellion, namely, the state of Newcastle, the state of Balboa and the state of chavos.
Among them, the state of Newcastle is the most powerful, and the state of Balboa is on the left side of Newcastle, which is weak. The left army led by count Henry successfully reached the border of Balboa state, recovered a castle and some autonomous towns, and established a foothold for the left army.
General Roger, the commander of the army on the right, arrived in Newcastle as ordered by the king before, and then went all the way north from the border to cut off the connection between the port near the sea of Newcastle and the mainland, so as to prevent the rebels from receiving aid from abroad.
After the arrival of general Hearn's follow-up army of the Chinese army, the king's Rosary and the army joined together and left the city of banks.
They will recapture the royal castle of Newcastle, and then attack bomari, the rebel stronghold, at Cheche.
According to the plan, when the king led the central army to attack bomari, count Henry and general Roger would also complete the advance of the left and right fronts. The three armies will be reunited after the pacification of Newcastle and Balboa, and finally go north to pacify the state of chavos, so as to completely complete the pacification movement of the whole northern rebellion.
Da, Da, Da.
As the horses crossed the glacier, the slope appeared in the king's view.
King Lema.
There was still a smell of scorch and blood left in the air after the fire. At this time, the sparse forest on the slope was burned into black coke, either slanting or falling.
Behind that is the battlefield of that day.
The king quietly looked at the burned forest, and after a while he slowly urged the horse forward. The cavalry behind him wanted to keep up in silence, but was stopped.
"Wait here."
Said the king.
How many people with a crown can approach him? And how many of those people will disappear because of various reasons?
The king climbed the slope alone.
At the moment when the horse swung its tail at the top of the slope, the scene under the slope suddenly appeared in front of the king. The red color burned the king's eyes like fire for a moment.
He closed his eyes. After a long time, he opened his eyes and looked at the battlefield below.
In the vast white snow, there is a circle of red land.
A layer of blood dyed the open space into a reddish brown, which was the place where the soul of the hero was buried, where his uncle, the Duke of Buckingham, and all the royal family's soldiers were buried. The snow in the sky is fluttering and does not dare to fall on the land. It seems that the generous blood of the day's death battle is still in the air.
There is no spring and autumn here.
The king rolled down from his horse and walked slowly down.
He took the last step on the bloody land.
The battlefield was clean. Nothing was left. The king didn't see the bones or the armor The angel of war's fire burned everything.
Only the ashes of blood and fire remain here, mixed with the whole land.
The king looked around the empty space of the prototype. He couldn't tell where his uncle stood last. So he went to the deepest red soil and sat down.
He left the knight behind the slope, because the king should not show his sorrow in front of the soldiers. At this time, he was not only the king of Legrand, but also the nephew of the Duke of Buckingham.
Nephew's coming to see his uncle off is a private occasion, so there should be no outsiders.
The king lowered his eyes. He looked at the blood on the ground and suddenly felt very tired.
"I haven't had any more headaches recently, and I won't have any more."
The king spoke slowly, in a low voice.
He remembered that when he was at the Rose Palace, the Duke of Buckingham handed him the letter that the pope had personally crowned Philip III. At that time, they briefly talked about a problem that both sides deliberately avoided.
The Duke of Buckingham asked him if his headache had improved recently.
At that moment, the eyes of both sides had a brief interleaving. He clearly saw the guilt in Duke Buckingham's eyes What is there to feel guilty about? So he looked away and replied briefly, "much better.".Why did both sides avoid that topic at that time? Why not be calm?
Why did he rush to rescue the Duke of Buckingham from the moment he woke up? Why does the Duke of Buckingham say "I'm sorry" subconsciously after giving him a hug in merenta? Why doesn't he feel strange to everything about Legrand? Why was it that when tru met the heavy cavalry of gurendy outside the city, he was as familiar with the moment when he pulled out his sword as if he had already wielded it thousands of times?
He knows the answer, and so does the Duke of Buckingham.
Because
There has never been any rebirth, nor any crossing!
He's Zhu Chi, and so is pullan!
