Song of Blood and Wine

There is a shallow stream between the elven kingdom of Arannoen and the kingdom of human beings, the empire of Parada. Not only is the stream shared by the primordial beings living on both sides, it is also It also plays the role of the border between the two countries.

On the upper stream of the stream, some distance from the mouth of the sea, there is a muddy swamp. In the middle of this swamp, there is a strong fortress called Wallace.

As a neutral city, Wallace has been called the "city of violence" by passing visitors. Behind this city full of violence and chaos, there are countless groups fighting for its ownership. However, the real power behind this fish and dragons mixed in together city does not belong to Aranon. It does not belong to the Parada Empire, but the second largest human empire-the Kaos Empire.

The main territory of the Kaos Empire is west of Arannon, the Sea Territory area composed of oceans and large and small islands. In this multi-racial gathering place rich in human robbers, orc warriors, Medusa, Ox Head Man, Fire Essence spirit, nightmare beast, Nine Headed Snake and Black Dragon, residents are very good at all kinds of land and sea transactions, as well as sea and fire. .

In World War I, when most of the forces focused on the Nicholas Empire in the center of the map, some cunning Kaos Empires took advantage of the chaos and disguised themselves as pirates and passed Sea Territory and the river channel secretly transported craftsmen and robbers to the junction of Arannoen and the Parada Empire. After occupying this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack area, they forcibly built a fortress here.

This easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack fortress forcibly interrupted the water transportation channels between the two countries. The Kaoss, who occupy the right place, not only collected money in the form of "road tolls", but also used it as a trade The base, some expressly prohibited arms and illicit goods on the market, are traded and spread through this city.

In this regard, it is not that the two countries have not conducted joint crusades and siege, but every joint battle was disintegrated by the other side's diplomatic conspiracy-the lord of Wallace passed the spies lurking in the army , Bribery, money, or beauty to the military commander of a certain country in the coalition army makes the commander of that country begin to slow down in the early stages of the battle.

And the commander of another country, seeing that the allied forces are not working hard, out of alert to the friendly forces and not wanting to be used as cannon fodder by other countries, also let the subordinate troops conduct the same passive combat. the way.

This way, the united soldiers who were fighting against the siege were distracted, and the interior was self-defeating, and the city still stood tall.

Although this tactic is simple, it is very effective and deadly for coalition forces who are suspicious of each other inside. Due to the remote location of Wallace, the expeditionary force is expensive and the benefits are very limited, and the criminals who absconded in Wallace, their crime scope is limited to the city in most cases. The most important thing is that their crime targets are mostly limited to ordinary person businessmen, and they maintain a respectful and cooperative attitude towards nobles or national trade.

After several large-scale coalition forces failed to encircle and suppress, the Parada Empire took the lead in abandoning the encirclement and suppression, and then Arannoen only kept the city on the sidelines and no longer did anything to the city. Military action.

However, will the fate of this violent city really be so smooth?

Wallace’s market is bustling with people. In this city surrounded by swamps and forests, flying insects with no opportunity and disgusting flying in the air, so the most common clothing for residents and traders here are waist-length cloaks and linen boots.

Because of this, the spies who rushed here from all over the place also put on their cloaks more confidently to conceal their identity.

"Damn it, what the hell is that place! It's hot and humid, and that many mosquitoes!" An elf commoner in a food business fanned his companions while constantly Complaining.

"Stop complaining. I heard the gossip that there will be a major event happening here. Many shops are stocking up on food, salt, and ironware and refuse to sell. If you don’t want to do this ticket sale, hurry up. Go back to your dolphin jump!" The elf civilian's companion snort disdainfully to him. For merchants like them, the more chaotic the place, the more business opportunities.

"Don’t be so nervous, you don’t know, the dolphin dance is the best! There are wines, dance parties, and all kinds of food. The most important thing is that the dolphin dance was earlier this year. There came a beautiful half-elf beautiful girl named Lova Pandagon! I was responsible for the supply of her wedding banquet, so I took a look at her from a distance. She is really beautiful, like a beauty coming out of the painting. It's a pity that the flowers He stuck it on the cow dung, and actually married an outsider."

The elf commoner eloquently told his companions about his experience, but did not notice, a passerby in a black cloak next to him. When he mentioned Lova, he stopped.

"outsider? That's the necromantic creature who was named the foreign elf Elder by the Spirit King? Why didn't I know that he married Lova Young Lady?"

"You know that There is a problem! Although this wedding was quite grand, the Spirit King gave the password after the wedding, and even small civilians like me have received red envelopes. How dare you say it casually."

"Really, the Spirit King court also claimed that he is a half-vampire, a mixed-race human, deceiving a little child! Necro creatures are necro creatures, no matter what the name is, they are dirty endorsements!"

"Yes, I don't know what evil is in the Spirit King, and I will reuse a necromantic creature!"

"Necromantic creatures deserve to die!"

While these civilians were still cynical, the passer-by in the black cloak that was still standing still had disappeared into the crowd at this time.
