Catalog of the Lost - a searing epic

All kinds of disasters and bad news rained down on Emer, making her toss and turns.

The course of the War of the Three Kings and the raid by Lester Faro almost reshaped his long-standing worldview, and what he thought was simple suddenly became complicated in that instant.

Emer's knowledge was related to the stories he had been hearing, the bards sung almost all about the beginning and the end, the heroes of the stories were glorious, the sinners were necessarily vicious, and nothing else.

The

details of a story are not paid attention to, and neither is Emer, as if the longed-for brave man only needs to be known about his glamorous and heroic feats, and the process is not really that important.

The

same is true of the battle of the Three Kings told by Yoni, although the story is complete enough to tell all the important things, but the cause of the incident and the reasons for the various choices of the parties are never known, perhaps only they themselves in the story know, or they make difficult choices, or they may be forced by the helplessness of the situation.

And now, Emel has become the one who should make a choice in the story, this choice is not difficult, and it is not forced by the situation to do it, he just thinks, even if he knows that his idea is very ideal and naïve, he still can't help but think, hoping that the world he can envision will appear, and then save the suffering people on this land.

After calming down, Emer pondered whether the Leicester army on the hegemonic side and the Zhenfu army took advantage of the fire to rob and take advantage of the fisherman's profits, did they also have difficult choices or helplessness in what they did?

But now, even if there is really a reason to do it, the Volunteers will definitely completely break with the two sides, and the contradictions will be completely out of control.

Emer's choice to side with the Volunteers was a matter that had already been decided, and he hated and was angry that whether the Janvers were sacrificing the Volunteers, or whether the Lester Army was still waging war internally in this situation.

Confusion filled Emer's mind, causing anxiety and uneasiness, and he sat up from his bed and walked to the window, looking out at the moonlit earth.

The Thundering City was silent, and all the Volunteers had fallen asleep, which was exactly what Emel had hoped for, even in the darkness of the surroundings, there was still a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, but it was not, time would not freeze here, just as the room he was in would collapse at some point.

Emer unconsciously thought about the reason why the Lester army started the war and captured civilians during this time period, and he brought himself into the perspective of Lester Faro, thinking about what the Lester army had done all along, and the footprints he had walked, and wanted to find some clues from it.

The

Lester army had moved to the south of the kingdom a year earlier at the beginning of the war, not long before they had been trained by Shree Gossiu to become a 'spiritual leader', which must have been premeditated, including the raid on Moreliano and the killing of King Faro.

No, it would be too absolute to conclude that it was premeditated.

Recall that at the beginning, the only people who could compete for the throne with Lester Faro were Slay Gosho and Jenfer Faro, and at that time, the predetermined candidate of King Faro was Slay Gossi, and the most despised was Jenfer Faro, Lester Faro still had a chance to surpass Slay Gosho to become the heir of King Faro, and he was in charge of the military more powerful than Slely Gossho as a shield for the nobility, and he also had Ivan Lin and ....

That's right, the black flag.

Emel remembered the killer he had seen in Sly's Mansion that day, he had the same outfit as Black Flag, and his status should be on par with Ivanlin, and his ability to kill many of the Black Flags present also proved his strength, and all indications showed that that person was Uncle Jack and Iris Shadow in the mouth, the second person to have a 'directory' besides Emer.

The appearance of Shadow indicates that Twee's death was at the hands of Lester Faro, and Jack met Shree Gosho next to him in the process of looking for Kage, and it cannot be ruled out that Shadow was under Slay Goth, but if Shadow did not serve under Szeil, it was very likely that it was to assassinate Szehi, but Jack and later Steel Spikes disrupted the plan.

Soon after that, the news of the disbandment of the Black Flag spread to all the people who had hired the Black Flag, and Shree Gosho immediately gathered all the remnants of the Black Flag to serve him, and Shadow naturally had no chance to assassinate Shlai again.

According to this logical reasoning, Lester Faro was the premeditated usurpation of power after that, but beyond everyone's expectations, the Empire attacked, the war was completely started, and due to the disparity in combat power between the enemy and us, Lester decided to abandon the king of Faro and hoard living forces on the southern shore of the Imperial Kingdom to fight against the Imperials.

Probably, Lester Faro also believed that the war would not last long, so he moved his army to the southern shore of the Imperial Kingdom, which had been destroyed by the Empire at that time, and therefore did not become a civilian laborer.

The outcome of the battle is now completely clear, only the Volunteers sacrificed most of their men in this war, and the Jeffrey Army and the Lester Army basically suffered no casualties, but what about the Imperials?

The result of the battle is victory, and there should be no fewer Imperial people killed by the Volunteers, according to past experience, the Imperial people should have launched this campaign with all their might, so the number of Imperial people entrenched in the western part of the Imperial Kingdom should be far less than before, and the territory of the Lester Army borders the range of the Imperial people's actions, if a war is waged against the Volunteers and the Zhenfu Army at this moment, it will inevitably be exploited by the remaining Imperial people.

The

most important thing for the Lester army to do at this moment was to exterminate the remaining Imperials, and then start an offensive against the remaining Volunteers and Zhenfu Army, but instead of doing so, he took the civilians captive in the rear, as if to fight a protracted battle.

The object of this battle cannot be the Volunteers or the Zhenfu Army, because if the Lester Army at this time waged a war against the two sides, it would definitely be overwhelming, so the target of the battle should be the Imperials.

In other words, the Lester Army decided to fight a protracted battle with the Empire.

Perhaps it was during this battle that Lester Faro discovered something that made him make this decision, the remnants of the Empire should not be able to defeat them, but Lester Faro must have been on guard against anyone.

The signs of Lester Faro reminded Emel of one thing: the Reich might have reinforcements.

Emer made the worst plan, thinking that the battle of the Empire's all-out attack would never be the only one, but now the remaining strength of the Volunteers is absolutely impossible, if the Empire launches another battle like the last one in the near future, not only will the Volunteers be wiped out, but the Genfer Faro Army, which protects the people in the rear, may not be able to resist them, and then it will be the outcome that everyone does not want to see.

Emel suddenly remembered the 'Catalog' in his mind, for him, the dangerous thing was the only way to change the situation, that power was the way to save everyone, and the 'Catalog' was left behind by him in Lalheim, that is, the territory of the Lester Army.

If he wanted to recover the Directory, Emer would have to meet Lester Faro once, but this was tantamount to betraying the Volunteers at this stage, and was therefore a last resort, not a last resort.

But....

Can 'catalogs' really do it?

Shadow also had a 'catalogue', but Lester Faro was prepared for a long campaign.

But the 'catalog' is really the only hope in this despair.

Emer exhaled a long breath, savored the bitter smell of the humid air, closed his eyes in the moonlight, and before he knew it, leaned against the wall and fell asleep.

'Emello, are you okay?'
