Emperor's Daughter of the Red Sands

Chapter 3 Winter Maiden
The continuous towering mountains of Nuceriya are like an agate pearl engraved on the planet.Like the pure white jade hanging on the red skin, the hot red sand from the plains provides a backdrop for the snowy peaks all day long. No matter when and where, every Nucerian can find it in the dark skyline That dazzling white.

If we say that this planet is shrouded in a scarlet curtain due to the endless red sandstorms all day long, then the most dazzling thing in the eyes of the residents is not the dim star... but the dazzling light that reflects the star, easily passing through the thick clouds. A pure white mountain that sheds pure light from the earth.

The solid and thick layer of dazzling permafrost ice is easily visible in most of the human habitable areas, and the majestic mountain peaks that look like nature's uncanny workmanship are even more conspicuous than the castles where those high-ranking knights live.

However, due to the high altitude, compared to the prosperous aristocratic country on the red sand plain, this inaccessible mountain village is extremely backward, and most of the villagers still live a backward primitive life.

However, it is already a rare miracle that there are some fireworks far away from the world among these endless mountain peaks.

Perhaps, this is the resilience unique to the human race.

But today, the tranquility in the remote snow-capped mountains is about to be broken.

The manic sound of the engine roaring from far to near echoes throughout the valley like a broadcast. If you look down on the mountain peak, you can vaguely see a group of mighty convoys driving on the rugged mountain road as if walking on the ground. The long-lived birds were also disturbed and flew away, as if the roar of the engine symbolized some terrible natural disaster.

Among them, the flag flying on the head of the convoy is quite conspicuous-a large flag constructed from red sand and the Colosseum, symbolizing that the source of these convoys is the cruel slave owner of Deshiya City, These slave owners forced the slaves they controlled to kill each other in the arena for fun, so that the slave hunting team they operated needed to perform slave hunting all over the world to meet the needs of the nobles to watch the bloody massacre day and night .

Even the inaccessible mountain areas are still the slave hunting grounds of those crazy slave owners who plundered any manpower on this planet without restraint, split and tore countless families and relatives, just for their own interests.

These are the Nucerians.

"Ah...this land full of uncivilized people again."

Lawrence Talco lolled on the comfortable high-grade leather in the carriage.The unknown state-of-the-art technology makes the bumps in the journey peaceful and smooth, but the boredom of waiting still makes this Nucerian feel bored.

He misses the death games and blood spraying of city-states.

But before becoming a Nucerian, he was first and foremost the captain of the slave hunting team. In this country where slaves are the main production, his importance is extraordinarily important, because his duty is to serve the country of the land of red sand. Provide a sufficient number of slaves.Obviously, whether it is to provide enough servants for the nobles, or to add more new blood to the arena, it is very important for this country.

"I'm very sorry, we'll be there in a while, Mr. Lawrence."

The boy wearing a silver veil humbly expressed his apology for his master, and the silver vines around his body followed the boy to salute like a living thing.

"Best."

Lawrence snorted coldly at his bodyguard, as if to show his impatience.

"Of course, you only need to harvest one more village to meet your needs, and then you can return to Deshiya. Our harvest this season is enough to exchange for two thousand Nuceria standard units of blood and blood in the city-state." cranium, and..."

The conversation of the guard boy was endless like a precision machine, and the silver veil covering his delicate face was also shining with the light of various data.Although their system is extremely ancient, the technology inherited from the distant dark age is extremely advanced, and the preservation is quite good in all aspects.

And the Guards, they are the iron fist of the high-ranking cavalry army, and they are the tools they use to trample Nuceria under their feet.

The silver vine beside him is everything of the Guards: their vehicles, armor and weapons.The silver veil with all kinds of data flows is an important device to control the gentle silver vines around the young man.If necessary, the silver vine will instantly transform into a terrifying blade that can easily dismember others.

At the same time, the red-haired girl standing on the cliff stares indifferently at the roaring convoy down the mountain. The delicate girl's body is covered by a bloody animal skin dress, and the wheat-colored skin and faint tendon patterns symbolize the She has a strong body, and stands with a strange giant ax that has been forged from pure gold in both hands, staring at the invaders who entered her kingdom like a born king.

When the convoy was still moving towards the nearest village in an orderly manner, something happened without warning.

The heavy giant ax that is as heavy as a thousand weight screams and affects the hot turbulence like a meteor falling to the ground. The ancient and precious energy shield can't even eliminate half of the kinetic energy of the heavy giant axe. Accompanied by the dull loud noise, the luxurious and simple The noble cars were forcibly split in two.

In an instant, chaos occurred in the orderly convoy.They were either huddled crookedly together, or were simply frightened by the giant ax meteor that fell from the sky, and the local villagers who had been ambushing in the jungle for a long time rushed forward and rushed into the shield generator, completely destroying it. Among the convoys, they seek revenge on the Nucerians who once ordered them to take their families away.

This is the revenge that their village has been waiting for hundreds of years.

"F-what happened...!? Hey, hey...! What happened——!"

Lawrence felt his eyes darken. The guard boy who was still talking to him just now was split in half by a strange giant ax that fell from the sky. Viscous and hot blood and internal organs flowed everywhere. He was equipped with an advanced energy shield. The car of the device has been shattered, and the tough and powerful silver vines of the personal guard have been cut off. He turned his eyes to the original position of his personal guard in panic——

It was a giant ax of fine gold that was sunken deep into the ground but still exuded a terrifying temperature, covered with twisted and ferocious blades, and whose shape was fabricated like a child's prank.

How should I describe it, it seems to be a weird weapon made of a piece of fine gold steel plate squeezed and assembled by the giant's rough and powerful hands, and it contains indescribable violence and terror.

Incomprehensible, incomprehensible.Perhaps a natural disaster happened before his eyes. Lawrence Talco, a high-level rider who longed for blood and red sand in the arena in the past, could not understand the scene before him. An inexplicable trembling from his soul made him even curl up. , or the courage to stand no longer exist.

"Hey...! Guards, where is your loyalty!? Hurry up and protect me!!"

[Enemy attack!Enemy attack...!Well…】

【Go and protect the Lord...】

[Help, help... anyone can come... come and save me! ! 】

The angry aristocrat roared hysterically into the intercom, anxiety sending chills down his spine.When he tried to call his other guards, the response was the miserable wailing of his personal guards who were usually on call with hundreds of people on the paging channel. The proud and mighty guards in the past are as ridiculous as a group of slaughtered chicks.

The ancient noble could not comprehend what was happening.Why, in a land far from the red sands... would they be suddenly plundered?
The mournful howling turned into endless silence after a while.

【…】

Lawrence's back has long lost feeling, and his sanity is gradually being destroyed.

The nobleman, thirsting for blood, finally feared the coming of death.

"Intruder."

After an unknown amount of time, the cold female voice interrupted the thinking of the trembling nobleman. The ancient Gothic language seemed rather obscure and concise to his ears, and the meaning of hostility and malice could not have been more clear.The instinctive fear of being stared at by a beast made him tremble.When Lawrence tried to look in the direction of the trail, an indescribable sense of trembling came from his heart.

As bright as blood, more majestic than red sand.The tall girl king wore a cloak made of plasma and fire, dripping red sand blood gradually slipped from her graceful figure, from that moment—the ancient nobles knew their powerful guards who could conquer the city ending.

As if she had never taken this ancient nobleman of Hongsha seriously, the girl picked up the burnt-red ax handle as if swearing her sovereignty, as if the terrifying weight was light to her, and the scorching spirit Jin also didn't cause burns in the rough and delicate palm, or the queen didn't care about the slight temperature.

Lawrence dared not look into her golden eyes.The temperature of tens of thousands of suns contained in it almost blinded the nobleman, and he finally understood why the female warrior didn't care about the fiery gold handle, because such a majestic person must be flowing with a more noble and noble spirit. Hot blood.

The bewilderment and the pride engraved in his blood made Lawrence pluck up the courage and tried to open his mouth, but his trembling vocal cords did not dare to make a sound. The petite figure in front of him, which was gradually overlapping with the majestic mountain peaks, gradually made him feel great. of fear.

"... Gollum."

He could only swallow the sting of the cold wind.

He, a member of the Lawrence family, one of the rulers of the red sand land, a nobleman above [-] people, even the courage to speak out no longer exists.

His instinct kept telling him that as long as he wanted to survive, don't try to communicate with this mountain-like stalwart, don't talk to this monster who killed hundreds of elite fighters with his bare hands.

His rationality kept telling him that the girl in front of him killed his guard like a mustard, and the energy shield on his car, which had never been pierced by any artillery fire, was also easily defeated by the giant axe.

Don't try to fight back.

Don't think about rebelling.

She is more noble than any will on the land of red sand.

"From now on, the Nucerians are not allowed to step in. This is the law of the mountains."

Standing in front of Lawrence, the icy red-haired girl was as cold as a frozen mountain. Her slightly delicate figure exuded an aura that could rival the sky. In the eyes of this simple and noble nobleman, she was gradually respected by the Nucerians. Even if no one believes in it anymore in this dark age, even though what they long for has never been glory and protection, but blood and slaughter.

"If you dare to set foot again, then shed the blood of the red sand - remember my name, Angron Elaine."

The girl's indifferent words were like steel knives in the cold winter, and the sharpness contained in them pierced straight into Lawrence's trembling heart. When every ancient and noble word was slowly uttered from those delicate soft lips, It was as if some of the most primitive dogmas of reverence had been imprinted on him.

Lawrence had never known what it was like for a slave in Red Sands to face a nobleman—now, he understood the irresistible and chilling terror.

He even felt that he could never forget the girl's name.

In their language, the maiden's name means 'son of the mountain' and 'maiden of the lake', just like the winter saint made by the holy peak.

This association even caused countless flames of faith to emerge from the heart of this son of the red sand.

His vision gradually blurred, his consciousness was no longer clear, and when he opened his eyes again...he didn't even know how he escaped from the valley.

The last impression in his memory was that the indifferent and noble queen of girls stood condescendingly over the defeated dogs of the Lawrence family. Their blood slaves were rescued by a group of primitive and barbaric mountain people, and their supplies were Divided among barbarians of different clans.

The Nucerians who had blood debts in this land were liquidated, and the rest of the Nucerians were driven out of the foothills with nothing.

From then on, the name of Angron Elaine was sung in the land of red sand.

That is the son of the mountain, the daughter of the lake, the saint of winter who descended from heaven.Locally, he is called the Lord of the Holy Peak by many villages.

Rumor has it that she is a ruthless huntress, a brutal hunter of monsters, and a saint who protects the children of the mountains.

In the near future, another great name resounding across the planet will be added—the saint who conquered Nuceria.
