The Velden Massacre... was also recorded in the library of the Kingdom of Radebeul, but the record of the Radebeuls was the Siege of Velden. About sixty years ago, in order to recapture the old capital and restore the complete Radebeul territory, the people of Radebeul launched the fourth attack on the Kingdom of Grosenhain.
Verden is a border city of Grossenhain. It was originally a small village, but after years of war, it was gradually transformed into a military fortress by the people of Grossenhain.
Sixty years ago, during the war, a general of Radebeul's army led his troops to besiege Velden, but they were unable to capture the city and were caught in a long siege. The Grossenhain people in Velden put up a desperate resistance, causing the siege to last for a year.
In war, if a siege lasts too long, it can easily undermine the morale of the attackers. The soldiers will complain about the setbacks in the attack and the continuous sacrifices, and transfer this resentment to the defenders. Therefore, sometimes after a long siege and the capture of a city, the commander will choose to indulge the soldiers in looting in order to ease the soldiers' dissatisfaction.
However, the siege of Velden was somewhat special. The general of the Radebeul army was his son. During the siege, the general's favored son was hit by the magic of the Velden defenders and died.
The grief of losing his son, coupled with the resentment of the soldiers during the long siege, led the general to issue an order after the city was captured.
Kill them.
Both military and civilian.
Leave no one behind.
Due to the commander's complete connivance, the city of Velden was out of control in an instant after it was captured. King Radebeul realized it too late, and the entire city of Velden became a purgatory. It is said that when the Grossenhain people returned to Velden again, the first batch of troops who entered Velden vomited on the spot because they could not bear such a cruel scene, and countless people were severely traumatized after cleaning up the battlefield.
The god worshipped by the Kingdom of Radeboyle was Yum Kax, so it was not under the jurisdiction of the church. The church could only verbally reprimand him, and even excommunication was not a deterrent. Although the general was withdrawn from the front line under pressure from some parties, he was not punished afterwards, and was even buried as a hero of the Kingdom of Radeboyle after his death.
"…The people of Radebeul should go to hell, as evidenced by the Velden tragedy."
The boy was filled with resentment towards the people of Radeboyle.
The witch had a general idea.
"So that's how it is... But I still don't understand why killing the Radboys will make things better?"
The people of Grossenhain do have reasons to be hostile to the people of Radebeul. The conflict between the two sides has lasted for four hundred years, and everyone has the opportunity to be hostile to the other side, but this is different from the fact that the people of Grossenhain can live a good life without the people of Radebeul.
"You outsiders will not understand. If you want to understand, go and be baptized by His Majesty the King. His Majesty the King will tell you how ugly the people of Radeboy are."
57 King Lewinsky
It is actually not complicated to know the experience of Lewinsky, the current king of Grossenhain.
Angelica did not continue to question the boy who joined the army, but after he left, she easily asked the guard for King Lewinsky's brochure.
According to Angelica's experience, most national leaders who encourage their citizens to join the army are idolatrous, and this is indeed true. The guards each have a pamphlet and are happy to preach to those who have not realized how wise and powerful His Majesty is. Although the content recorded in it is certainly not in line with reality, it is enough for them to understand King Lewinsky.
Returning to Abigail, Angelica flipped through the brochure and her smiling face gradually disappeared.
"We can't stay in Grossenhain Kingdom for too long... It's a pity that we can't experience the tenderness of the girls in Grossenhain."
"Why shouldn't we stay longer?"
"His Majesty the King of Grosenhain Kingdom doesn't seem to be a very easy person to talk to."
Angelica gave this answer.
Abigail was confused about how Angelica came to such a conclusion without meeting King Grosenhain, but Abigail did not ask further questions. It was obviously irrational to speak ill of the king at the gate of the royal capital.
Angelica has been to many countries, most of which like to show hospitality, but there are also places where Angelica has very bad experiences. Judging from Angelica's accumulated experience, King Lewinsky seems to have serious racist tendencies.
Unlike the Kingdom of Radebeul, which focused on aristocratic bloodline, the people of Grossenhain were originally a nomadic people. Nomadic people believed that whoever had the most cattle and sheep and the strongest horses could lead the entire tribe. After settling down, the people of Grossenhain still retained their traditions, which evolved into a system of reform of the Royal Guards.
Generally speaking, once the Royal Guards were dissatisfied with the king's incompetence, they would change their duty of protecting the king, hold the king hostage and order him to step down, and then elect a new king. In the nearly 400 years since the establishment of the Kingdom of Grossenhain, there have been as many as six kings who came to power through the Royal Guards.
Lewinsky is the seventh king to come to power through the Guards, but he himself was the leader of the Guards. Twenty years ago, Lewinsky believed that the king at the time would only weaken Grossenhain, so he launched a reform and placed the king under house arrest, becoming the new king. Lewinsky took tough measures against the few Radebeuls in the country, confiscating their property and expelling them from the country.
Under Lewinski's leadership, the hostility of the Grossenhain people towards the Radebeul people has intensified over the past twenty years. In other words, now not only the Radebeul people are planning to attack, but the Grossenhain people have also chosen not to sit idly by.
After waiting for quite a long time, the guard finally brought Angelica a reply.
"His Majesty the King has granted the magician an audience."
Angelica was approved to have the guards escort her and Abigail to the palace, although Angelica felt that the guards' term "escort" was more like surveillance.
In addition to the prosperous markets and crowded residential areas in the capital, the biggest difference from the capital of Radeboyle is that shooting ranges and training grounds can be found everywhere.
"Sister Angelica, look over there."
Abigail pulled Angelica's clothes. At an open-air shooting range in the capital, some young men without magical talent were training with bows and arrows. Their archery targets were straw men made of weeds. However, the heads of the straw men were all wrapped with some paper with strange patterns.
"It is the coat of arms of the House of Radebeul."
A noble family always has a family crest that symbolizes the family. After Manuel became king, he created his family crest, and his family has ruled the Kingdom of Radebeul as a royal family to this day. However, in neighboring countries, young people use the family crest of the royal family of Radebeul as a target for shooting practice.
When the Guards arrived at a training ground, several children holding wooden swords and sticks ran out and excitedly surrounded the leader of the Guards.
"Everyone, look! It's the man with the golden horse!"
"Really! That's amazing~"
"Golden Colt...?"
Abigail discovered that the guards all had necklaces around their necks with pony plates made of gold, silver, and bronze. Each guard had a different number of pony plates on his necklace. The only one who was wearing a golden pony was surrounded by the children.
Angelica opened the brochure and found a page that recorded the meaning of the tricolor pony, which was Lewinsky's way of encouraging military merit.
"It represents the head. Abigail."
"Human, human head?"
"A bronze colt means that the soldier has killed a Radboyer. Ten bronze colts can be exchanged for a silver colt. Ten silvers and above can be exchanged for a gold colt, the highest honor."
The rest of the escorting guards had at most five silver horses, and the one with the golden horse was their commander.
Abigail could not help feeling terrified, for the man with the golden colt had already taken the lives of a hundred Radboys.
"Don't envy me, children. In the future, you will become brave Grosenhain warriors like me."
"Well! I'm going to kill two hundred Radboys from now on! Hang two golden horses!"
"I'll smash the Radboy's head in with my hammer!"
"Idiot, you can't smash their heads. To exchange for military merits, you have to cut off their ears to prove it."
"His Majesty the King will be delighted to see these ambitious children."
The guard said with a relieved smile.
"Go and practice harder. You will become the pillars of the kingdom in the future."
The excited children made way for the carriage carrying Angelica and Abigail to move forward.
Although it was a hot season, Abigail felt a chill down her spine.
The person who was talking about killing two hundred Radboys and smashing their heads with such anticipation was actually a child under ten years old. She suddenly understood why Angelica said that they could not stay in the Kingdom of Grosenhain for too long. She even wanted to leave the country immediately.
Angelica understood Abigail's fear. After all, Abigail was just a teenage girl. How could she have ever seen such a world?
Angelica gently grasped Abigail's shaking hand.
"It's okay, Abigail. I'm here, and nothing will happen to us."
"Sister Angelica..."
Abigail was deeply moved.
only……
"Why did you take the opportunity to touch my thigh?"
"This is a normal concern from seniors to juniors."
As for gradually turning into a beast after having her thighs touched, that was something Angelica would do when she was in Santa Barbara Girls' Academy. Now she has already turned over a new leaf and become a new person.
58 The Ghost of Felden
In front of Grosenhain Palace.
Angelica and Abigail arrive at the palace and once again find something very interesting.
Leading to the palace hall is a corridor whose floor is paved with the flag of the Kingdom of Radebeul. In other words, in order to reach the palace hall through the corridor normally, one must step over the flag of the Kingdom of Radebeul.
This is the explanation given by the Guards.
"This is a strategy used by the wise king to identify spies from enemy countries. The loyal servants of the Kingdom of Radeboyle will certainly not tolerate such humiliation. If you two are as clear as a mirror and have no connection with the Kingdom of Radeboyle, please walk over with your heads held high."
The guards said loudly. Angelica knew that if they refused, they would be immediately arrested and tortured as spies of the Kingdom of Radboyle. Although Angelica did not mind being tortured, considering Abigail's feelings, Angelica still chose to hold Abigail's hand and step on the flag of the Kingdom of Radboyle all the way to the palace hall.
Fortunately, Abigail didn't make friends like Chloe in Radeboyle, otherwise she would definitely not be able to bear it. Angelica was able to pretend that she was not familiar with Radeboyle.
In the palace, King Lewinsky of the Kingdom of Grossenhain accepted the greetings of the two girls on the throne. In stark contrast to the seemingly amiable King Peter, Lewinsky had a horrifying scar on his face, running from his forehead to the corner of his lips. This scar did not destroy the king's majesty, but instead made Lewinsky look intimidating without even getting angry.
"I heard that you have magic to offer to Grosenhain?"
"Yes, we are archaeologists from afar, planning to make a chronicle about the heroes. The oral accounts of the descendants of the heroes are very important materials. So we came here specifically to look for the descendants of the heroes of the "art". "
Angelica talked nonsense without blushing or beating her heart.
"The hero of the art? It has nothing to do with Grosenhain. You've come to the wrong place."
"No, a long time ago, the capital of Grosenhain was founded by the first generation of "magic" warriors, and his descendants also settled here until they bid farewell to their homeland hundreds of years ago and went far away. If your majesty is willing to assist in the investigation, we are willing to provide a sequence one magic ritual scroll."
Lewinsky raised his eyebrows. Even their chief magician of the palace could not reach the level of Sequence One magic. If they had a Sequence One magic ritual scroll as a trump card, they would have more confidence when going to war.
Angelica knew Lewinsky wouldn't say no, so she added one more condition with a bright smile.
"I have another personal request. Can you allow me to explore His Majesty's dreams?"
"Be bold!"
Such an ungrateful proposal caused the guards to surround the two of them instantly. Abigail hid behind Angelica and trembled, wondering what the purpose of Angelica's sudden proposal was.
The so-called exploration of dreams was nothing more than a cover. Dreams can connect to past memories. Angelica's original intention was to explore Lewinsky's memory. Lewinsky's face suddenly darkened. He had dabbled in magic and knew what Angelica meant.
"Is this also your research? Scholar."
"No, I said it was my personal request."
Angelica was very curious about the Kingdom of Grossenhain: the hatred of the people of Grossenhain towards the people of Radbeur had reached an unprecedented level, and the source of it all was King Lewinsky.
Angelica believed that in most cases, hatred did not exist without reason, so where did Lewinsky's hatred for the Radboys come from? Angelica was curious about this. Her principle was not to get involved in national hatred or family feuds, but that did not mean that Angelica had no interest at all.
Lewinsky stared at the fearless witch and thought for a while. Then he raised his right hand and signaled the guards to lay down their weapons.
"My people will help you find the whereabouts of the descendants of the brave warrior of "Shu". I agree to your request. But I must say, scholar, your fearlessness will cost you your life."
"Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty."
Of course, Angelica didn't take it to heart.
In Lewinsky's consideration, there is no need to make things difficult for the magician who can provide the Sequence One magic formula. As long as Angelica fulfills the agreement as promised, it will definitely be an exciting reinforcement for the Kingdom of Grosenhain to obtain the Sequence One magic formula.
That night.
Angelica came to King Lewinsky's bedroom. There were guards guarding the door. If they found anything wrong, they would immediately break in and arrest Angelica.
King Lewinsky slowly fell asleep on the bed, and then the witch chanted a spell.
"Life (Viriditas) Sequence 5: The Corridor of Life."
The Corridor of Life can be used to sneak into the dreams of others and peek into their past memories, but it is ineffective for the dead. Angelica successfully entered King Lewinsky's memory, and she wanted to know the source of Lewinsky's hatred for the Radboys.
"Child, let me tell you about their sins."
In Lewinsky's memory world, Angelica saw a pale old man pulling Lewinsky to talk.
Lewinsky has lived with his grandfather since he could remember. The village where Lewinsky lives is a little special. The people living in this village are all survivors of the Velden massacre.
That year, the Radebeuls broke through the city of Velden, and a tragedy occurred that shocked the people of Grossenhain, but not everyone died in the madness of the Radebeuls. Lewinsky's grandfather was one of the few survivors. He hid among the corpses and saved his life, but Lewinsky's grandfather was left with indelible trauma both physically and mentally.
Naturally, along with it came fear and hatred of the people of Radbeul.
After the Battle of Velden, the people of Grossenhain believed that Velden was haunted by evil spirits and was no longer suitable for living, so they arranged for the survivors of the Velden massacre to move to a new village and exempted them from taxation. However, everyone here had experienced the Velden massacre, and almost every day was filled with complaints about the people of Radebeul.
Whenever Lewinsky's grandfather had free time, he would take his grandson to tell him about the cruelty and crimes of the Radeboys.
Although for Lewinsky, the Fielden tragedy was a historical event, her grandfather, who experienced it personally, told her stories day and night, making Lewinsky feel as if she was there as if she was there when the tragedy happened decades ago.
Lewinsky's grandfather was talking as the meal was prepared.
When Lewinsky's grandfather is not farming, he still works.
Even in the evening bedtime stories, Lewinsky's grandfather talked about the crimes of the Radeboy people.
A seed took root in young Lewinsky's heart, and he grew up hating the Radeboynes.
