Chapter 173 The Battlefield of Heroes Gathering

Returning from the abandoned temple, time passed by, and night soon ushered in.

"In the past few days, the entire royal city has been heavily guarded."

Facing Norn, Casas said,

"Father said that the allied forces of the orcs will arrive at Aga's city in seven days."

Norn nodded slightly, he had already heard the ins and outs from the people.

"What should we do now... In the face of the coming war, what did Queen Isis say?"

Norn asked.

The brazier was burning in the room between the two, and Casas said slowly:
"Queen Isis, in the name of His Majesty the King, has already ordered the summoning of the brave men in the country.

Now, the armies of the three-eyed ape-man city-states rushed to the king's city to help, and those heroes also showed their prowess in the previous battle. "

"heroes?"

"For example, Baird."

Referring to the man wearing the dragon skin back then, Casas smiled.

"I know, I heard about it from the mouth of the centaur Shannon."

"Norn, you never heard how brave he was,"

Casas was a little excited, his face fascinated, and he described the scene of that battle for Norn,
"Facing the orcs of Morrowind, the chariot he drove alone shot out spears one after another. The sound of piercing the air was accompanied by the wailing of the orcs. Even the swift and fierce horses could not catch up with his footprints. .

When Baird jumped off the chariot, he grew dragon scales, which was the grace of Ndola. With the huge bronze sword in his hand, he took the lives of the orc warriors like slaughtering livestock.

Even a hero named Poros among the orcs, even if he also enjoyed the grace of Ndola, fell into the hands of Baird unwillingly, and the leopard man Puli, who was famous for his strong bow, was also cut off by him. With one arm, I can no longer bend my bow and take an arrow for the rest of my life. "

In Casas' passionate narration, scenes of heroic battles were depicted before Norn's eyes.

Baird, like a rising star, is hot and shining in this battle of gems.

"Norn, even Morrowind King of the Orcs admired him, and commanded his heroes to give him a glorious death.

Baird,
Now the whole town is singing his name. "

For the fighters on both sides, Baird was like a hero's pole, standing on the battlefield, such a heroic posture, even the prophet's heart was slightly shaken.

"Speaking of which, has Baird found a treasure that can touch people's hearts?"

Suddenly thinking of this, Norn asked.

Casas' complexion froze slightly, and then said:
"No, the last time I saw Baird, he still looked lost.

His sweetheart still sleeps,
Even the victory of the war cannot bring long-term joy to the hero. "

"Is that so..."

Norn sighed.

He and Casas found the golden bull horn that should not have existed nine years ago.

However, Baird still couldn't find enough treasures to impress his sweetheart.

Suddenly, Norn thought of something and asked:

"The jewel from heaven...will it be the treasure that Baird is looking for?"

"You ask on a key point."

Casas poked the brazier with copper tongs,

"Baird believes that... the gemstone that all nations desire should be the treasure that can wake up the one you love."

Having said that, Casas turned his head and looked at the row upon row of houses outside the window.

Then he laughed and said:

"Noen, do you want to meet Baird? It's been so long since we've been apart, and seeing you will definitely make him happy."

The voice fell to his ears, and Norn nodded slightly.

......................
The second day will come soon,
Norn was not in a hurry to build the New Law Garden, he just let the stone slaves in the Ibia family who believed in the Lord pray in the abandoned temple in the future.

As a prophet, Norn has a high prestige. The stone slaves did not question Norn's decision. After Kasas's consent, they followed Norn to the abandoned temple to clean up, lay carpets, and set up Good altar.

Seeing that the temple, which had been dusty for a long time, became bright after being cleaned, Norn couldn't help but smile.

After the noon prayers, the norn and the stone slaves gathered together to share the scones and bread sent by Kasas, and some good ale.

While eating, the stone slaves recalled the old priest and lamented the changes over the years.

Norn looked at the palace, his eyes seemed to pass through the palace wall full of spices, and fell on Queen Isis next to the throne.

After a moment, Norn shook his head.

The old priest's last wish was for him to find his past hometown and faith, not for revenge.

and,

Now he is not only a Norn, but also a prophet of God.

He will not, and cannot raise the sword of personal hatred.

"Let God judge her...to judge her soul after death."

After death, the soul will eventually go to the tree that God stands on the mountain.

After a long time, God will make a great judgment in His kingdom. Among thousands of souls, the good will be rewarded, the evil will be punished, and the law of God will stand forever on high above.

After noon of the second day.

Kasus came to the abandoned temple, which was almost brand new, and he was going to meet Baird with Norn.

Norn got up from the ground, nodded, and followed Kasas.

The two walked through the streets where soldiers came and went, and headed for Baird's mansion.

Baird's current mansion is a gift from the queen. He was not born in the royal city. He was born in a remote city-state near the grasslands where wild beasts were rampant. Perhaps it was because of this that he was able to raise the world-famous bravery.

Come to the square in front of Baird's mansion.

Norn looked around, and the square was full of armored, strong warriors, waiting for Baird's dispatch.

Holding wooden swords and wooden shields, they fight each other in the center.

And Baird stood in a corner of the square, his brows were slightly frowned, and he was followed by heroes who were inferior to him, but heroic. Several bards followed behind them, ready to perform for them at any time.

When Casas walked up to Baird with Norn.

After staring for a moment, Baird said in amazement,
"It's you? Norn! You're back?!"

"It's me, Baird."

Hearing the familiar voice, Baird's body couldn't help trembling.

This is the belated excitement when seeing a long-lost old friend.

He grabbed Norn's shoulders with both hands, suppressed his excitement and asked:
"Norn... how long have we been apart?"

"Nine years, more than 3000 days and nights."

Norn was also emotional.

The other heroes behind Baird cast curious glances at Norn.

"Baird, is he your friend?"

"Yes, Tooth."

Baird turned his head and said softly:

"You have no idea what great deeds the norn have done.

You only know my bravery on the battlefield.

But I couldn't see how he fulfilled the contract with the gods. "

"A contract with... the gods?"

Tus with the shield on his back was surprised.

Baird realized that he had missed something, smiled guiltily, and continued:

"Forgive me, because of the queen, I can't tell all of it."

Hearing this, several heroes nodded, showing understanding eyes.

Then, in order to reunite with Norn and Kasas, Baird bid farewell to several heroes.

Walking on the flat avenue of the royal city, Norn could feel that along the way, from time to time, people looked up at Baird with admiration and envy.

This hero of heroes is so dazzling that one even wonders if he is the bastard son of a god.

"Baird... the gem that fell that day, will it really be the treasure that awakens your sweetheart?"

While walking on the road, Casas suddenly asked.

Baird was a little puzzled, and asked:
"Didn't I already say it?"

"Norn doesn't know."

"Oh."

Baird turned his head, smiled and said to Norn:

"I don't know if that gem is really the treasure that awakens my love.

But... I can only pin my hopes on it.

It's like I once pinned my hopes on the ancient kingdom of elves. "

Hearing this, the norn looked at the city wall in the distance.

"Aren't you afraid of... dying in battle?"

Norn asked.

Baird shook his head and said slowly:
"My parents stopped me from coming here to fight.

They prophesied, and in the prophecy it was said:

'I can't win three big victories, once I win, I must die. '"

Having said that, Baird smiled,
"But I'm still here. For my sweetheart, and for my bet with Ndola."

Looking at Baird, Norn didn't know what to say for a while.

The three-eyed ape-man knew the power of prophecy.

But this man in dragon skin has no fear and regards death as home.

"Baird..."

"what happened?"

"No, nothing."

Norn shook his head.

Having received the grace of the angel, Norn, as a prophet, knew that Baird was still in the trial of the angel.

After hesitating, Norn did not tell him about his trials.

Because once it is exposed, it is automatically regarded as a failure.

And in the following time,

Norn doesn't know whether Baird will pass the test or fail the test.

........................ ..
........................ ..
After seven days.

The orcs camped far away from Aga.

Norn followed Kasas to the city wall, and the elf Sealand followed closely behind them. They saw the orcs' banner appearing on the ground outside the high wall.

On the city wall, besides Norn and Kasas, there are many bards. They welcome the upcoming war with anticipation and look at the vast battlefield.

The reason why they were able to stand on the top of the city was firstly that they could boost the morale of the soldiers, and secondly that on the battlefield of this era, even among the three-eyed ape-men with advanced civilization, armed nobles were still the main force on the battlefield.

This means...

No matter how you fight, it will be a righteous battle to praise the heroes. Here, only the brave will shed their blood, while the cowardly deserters will be ridiculed. As for the old and weak, women and children, neither side can be harmed.

Under the city wall, there was a roar of horses trampling the ground.

Norn looked down.

I saw several chariots carrying the heroes driving on the ground, the roar of cheers erupted from the crowd, and the people shouted the name of Baird.

The leader, Baird, pulled the reins on the horse and waved to the crowd with a smile. This heroic demeanor made people feel like spring breeze.

Norn watched Baird walk out of the gate slowly, and the soldiers of the Kingdom of Aga followed the hero.

A battle is about to start in front of the city wall.

On the city wall, the leading bard stepped forward and said passionately:
"The tall and lofty walls are like the steps of the gods,
The shining swords and soldiers all over the city are like the carpet of the gods.

how beautiful

Cargaus, don't let Aga be stained with our blood. "

As the heroes and the army slowly approached the orcs' stronghold, the war letter was presented by the scouts.

The flags of the two armies fluttered across the land.

The bard watched all this, and he sang:
"In the crowd, the hero of the heroes stands on the chariot,

Medes, who shoots all shots, Tus, who holds a sword and shield, and Ramon, who is strong enough to break the bowstring,
They have infinite admiration for Baird.

Those orc heroes, with the frenzy of killing, shot fierce eyes. "

The wonderful chants of the bards drew warm cheers from the crowd.

"This is a battlefield where heroes gather.

The king of the Morrowind Kingdom was sitting on his tall horse.

The Morrowind King looked into the distance, longing to break through here,

But he could only look at the tall city wall and lament.

People of Aga!

the world we know,
There will be an unprecedented battle! "
