"In the name of the Sindia continent, we swear that beautiful Singa flowers will bloom on the border of the Southern Capital. The warmest southern cotton clothes will be spun for weavers with the dexterous hands. The Southern Capital's merchants all over the region will make the most deserted places prosperous, we born here, we grow up here, we will defend this land with flesh and blood, and we will always be loyal to the glorious Sindia!"

On the huge fighting arena, All the voices from thousands of people are earth-shattering. They are the children, also the future of this land. The pride of nation is forged in blood, proud from its descendants.

The main reason is that Southern Capital is very peaceful and orderly. Even if the Revolutionary Army has rebelled for hundreds of years. Everyone here enjoys the happiness and tranquillity brought from their lord. On this land, Fairness is the most important principle.

The Lord the southern capital, Hampus, gave the holy amber as a reward and distributed it fairly to the battle winner. No one can really tell how impressing the holy amber can be. The legendary Elf King can turn to the appearance of magic way by using holy amber, and it is not different from it; the Galen warrior of the Northern Capital 30 years ago, be able to lift mountains and rivers, after being given holy amber by the king, he can lift a mountain range; the most intelligent female Judicial minister obtained absolute rationals and fairness from holy amber, and the cases dealt with are well-known across the country. There are countless cases of this kind. The miracle of the birth of this legendary land is recorded in history books, and it will make future generations marvel at the prosperity that has not been seen in a thousand years.

Above all these, Thanks to Hampus’s clan makes it possible for the holy amber to common people. there must be sages in the land, the brave hero from the city. Let the bright pearls scattered in the mortal world, Become more dazzling.

"As a brave warrior , I will win champion Southern Capital martial state and get award handed down by Lord Hampus himself. This is the most glorious life!" After leaving grandfather one month ago, Bill finally came to the Southern Capital , the son of a small town, stood on the martial state with tens of thousands of people, and said to himself secretly.

Carrying the long sword inherited from his grandfather, Bill, like all the young people, has a fanatical and confident light on his face. Bill always believes that this world needs heroes. Even if the current life is more rich and comfortable, he still Waving the tuck day after day, let Grandpa correct his mistakes over and over again, until today, he want show everyone how powerful he is.

After the oath ceremony, the martial arts battlefield opened the competition. According to the order determined by the draw, the round battle arenas started one-on-one duels. The standard of falling down or surrendering was very fair. No matter if you are a teenager with a weak body or a mountain race over 2 meters high, as long as you start the duel, don’t care about your opponent. Win or win is the only result.

In front of Bill, there was a tall man with tuck fighting with a little noble child with a tuck. The fierceness of the tall and sturdy Han is estimated to come from the combination of the Ethnicity and other races. He is close to 2 meters tall and muscular, swinging a falchion and slashing fiercely at him. Dodge deliberately consumes his physical strength, and seems to want to give a fatal blow in the later stage. The battle has not come out with a result, but a burst of applause erupted from the nearby gladiator. Bill raised his head and saw that a slender female archer with grim face had already beaten her opponent off the stage. Only the densely packed arrows shot into the mud below the stage a few inches deep can be seen on the arena. She stood proudly on the stage listening to the referee's announcement of victory, and jumped off the stage to prepare for the next round.

"She's awesome, what's her name?"

"I heard that her name is Helin, the daughter of Nantes County State Archery Regiment Chief, and she is an outstanding archer of their family.”

"Helin, it seems to be my opponent." Bill looked at the woman's leaving with appreciation. Only such an opponent can make this journey particularly interesting. It is the mission of the warrior to conquer the strong.

Before Helin becomes his opponent, he must first be qualified to stand in front of her. Bill looked at his opponent and found that standing on the stage are completely different from standing under the stage. He swallowed nervously and unconsciously, looking at the wandering warrior with a vicissitudes face in front of him, unlike Bill, who had been raised in the greenhouse at home since he was a child. From his body shape, he can tell that he is an experienced person, his face appeared very calm, as if doing a trivial thing.

Bill drew his long sword, salute to his opponent who nodded in return, but did not pull out his sword. This made Bill a little annoyed, so he swung the sword faster. nobody knows if the other party deliberately dodged, some time later, he just took out his scabbard to defend. Bill was young and vigorous, and there was no problem with long-term physical exertion. So this wandering warrior molested the young swordsman for a long time.

The initial defense allowed the opponent to gradually figure out Bill's tactics and began an effective counterattack.

Poor Bill had no reservations in his first battle, and played with all his skills. Young people is unmatured to make mistakes, without knowing that fighting is a life and death challenge, until he felt more and more pressures that Bill realized that he was completely controlled, and a chill rushed to his forehead. Is his journey coming to an end at this moment?

Bill really got nervous.

Just before Southern Capital Martial Competition is about to begin, the royal edict from Central Capital King was passed to the eldest son of Hampus. Some time ago, his father hurriedly left a few words and left. The edict came a little strange. However the eldest son of Hampus, Auston, 23 years old, young and steady with the style of the Southern Capital King, he humbly greeted the messenger and listened to the edict.

"The glory of the Sindia Continent, I -Bernard, the 36th generation of King of Sindia, summoned the eldest son of the South Capital King followed the emissary of the King to the royal capital quickly. Edict come, all lands obedient. the king's glory shines on all things, and the people of this land will be blessed." The messenger announced the king's will, and the king's guards behind him came to surround him.

Auston knelt on one knee and replied, "Follow your Majesty."

After that, he immediately followed the envoy and set off. Without stopping for a long time, he finally arrived in the royal capital after half a month. Without washing himself, he went to the Palace and waited for the king's summons.

"You mean he has been very respectful for the past half month. He hasn't asked a word or mentioned his father?" The old king lay on the couch and asked the black-clothed messenger with his eyes closed.

The messenger in black knelt in the darkness, not seeing clearly on his face, and his voice appeared vague in the huge palace. He replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. In the past half month, the Son of Southern Capital King loyal to you very much with praise words, and be humble when I ask. I didn't slack a bit on the journey to Capital. The will to come here is stronger than us."

"Haha, No wonder the descendant of Hampus. praise in words and humble in actions reminds me of my master, who assisted me for 20 years. They really come from the same family..." The king seems like he recalled something. He remembered for a long time, and finally sneered, then stood up and ordered: "Let him wait in front of Palace, and don't forget the great gift I prepared for him."

"Yes! Your Majesty." The figure in the dark left.

Auston rushed all the way and made him look particularly embarrassed. his figure looked haggard and weak, standing straight in the hall. He didn't wait long. The king walked slowly, followed by the servant, and took the servant's hand up to the throne before observing the young boy.

"Your Majesty, Auston, the son of the Southern Capital King, came here to meet, my Lord shines on the earth, we will always be blessed by you!".

Auston immediately bowed to the king and touched his head to the ground to show his surrender.

"Look at you, your grandfather was like this old school of pedanticism back then, we are a family, get up quickly, kid, let me see you." The king stretched out his hand to point at him, and said with a kind smile.

"Thank your majesty for your mercy. You have given us everything. The glory of Hampus Family is great because of you. I dare not slacken the slightest." Auston was triumphant for the king's mercy. He kept his head down and said in the most decent way, he raised his head slightly in the end, not looking directly into the king's eyes.

"Of course I understand the loyalty of Hampus. There is no one in Sindia who is more loyal to me than Hampus. My kid, do you know what I called you to?" The king left his seat and walked away. Down the high steps, walked to Auston's side, stretched out a hand and patted him on the shoulder, speaking slowly.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what happened." Auston lowered his head and said softly.

"Hampus is a proud family. Our ancestors fought together hundreds of years ago. They have gone for long time. Your grandfather is my master and my inseparable right and left hand. He has been away from us for a long time. And your father, not only my capable subordinate, but also my close relatives and friends, but unfortunately, he also left us..." The king’s voice was filled with sighs and regrets, as if sighing something, in silence. The night seemed particularly thrilling, and the sound of the king's aging breathe was clear in Auston's ears, shaking like thunder.

"Some time ago, I looked at the sunset and the vast mountains, and sighed that there were no old friends to talk to. So I summoned and called your father to come and we ride horses in the mountains and plains. I joyfully talked and drank with your father. two of us were drunk and couldn't wake up, while suddenly attacked by wild beasts. Your father tried to save me, but he passed away. kid, your father died to save me..." King He sighed deeply, telling in deep sorrow, his words were sincere, and he couldn't help himself to shed tears.

After finishing speaking, the king turned his back and waved his hand, and a group of guards carried a coffin into the room. They walked in neatly with serious expressions. They gently put the coffin on the main hall and quietly retreated.

"My kid, go and see your father for last time. I have decided to bury my beloved minister next to my mausoleum, and let my sons and grandchildren of the Bernard Clan know that, Hampus Loyalty." The king seemed very emotional, wiped the tear from his eyes, and spoke in the softest tone.

Auston moved his lowered head, then lowered it immediately, and said in a constant tone: "Yes, Your Majesty.”

There are not so many warriors in the Hampus family, most of them are wises. Auston is same, and does not have the strong physique of a samurai. But now, this young man, outside his hometown, opened the heavy coffin and wants to see His father's last look.

Auston firmly stared at the dark coffin without blinking his eyes. He saw in the huge dark coffin -the blood-red Sindia flag.
