For a long time, the archaeological community has always believed that the Battle of Atesta was just the imagination of the ancients, and they exaggerated the achievements of Tangalo. Until recently, a ruin was excavated at the border between the former Pyranno Empire and the Principal of Neitas. The ruins were exactly the same as those described in the epic, with brittle city walls and broken bodies all over the mountains. Although these discoveries were extremely huge, the difficulty of mining this ruins was unpredictable. The items eroded by the low temperature were incredibly fragile and almost broke when touched. For this reason, during the excavation process, we only dared to use a brush to gently brush the soil bit by bit, and whenever the weather was not good, we would quickly build a greenhouse to protect it.

——Documentary "Atesta"

Tika looked at General Prolo almost with a pious look. He always regarded the general as his benchmark, and pursued exactly the same as the general from hairstyle to movements. General Prolo became famous at a young age and had been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years. Now he is only in his early thirties, and he is very young. After all, most people are almost fifty when they take General Prolo as their role. Tika thought that if he takes General Prolo as his example, he can become a better person.

? Many people laughed at him as a flatterer, but he didn't care. He still diligently regarded every word that General Prolo said as an imperial edict. The general said that soldiers should go to bed early and get up early and insist on exercise. So he got up before dawn every morning and ran around the camp. He was regarded as a spy by the people on duty several times. The general said that soldiers could be strong only if they had a balanced diet, so he had to eat a full bowl of wild vegetables every day.

They are now stationed in Atesta, only one line away from Pyranno. There was a large-scale poisoning incident in Pyranno's imperial capital. It is reported that the king had already ordered the blockade of the imperial capital, as if he was preparing to discard the poisoned person and open the city gate when he died. Then the defense of the imperial capital would be very weak, which is a good opportunity to launch a large-scale attack. Of course, the people of the Pyranno Empire were not fools, and the border defense must have increased manpower, but there were only so many troops directly affiliated with the country. Most of the nobles were in the imperial capital and could not draw soldiers from their territory. As for the mercenaries, their loyalty was not discussed yet. The number of mercenaries was not large, and they could not gather an army in a short period of time. Then there would be a lack of border defense. Atesta was the weakest link in Pyranno, probably because the miasma swamp that stretched for several miles gave them an insurmountable illusion.

General Prolo glanced at the excited soldiers in front of him, and asked, "Does the great wizard give you antidotes by your side?" "Here!" The soldiers answered neatly, Tika was especially loud. General Prolo nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Are the wooden boards used to cross the swamp ready?" "Prepare, General!"

"Okay, okay, then, you guys have a good rest. Tonight, we will attack in the darkness of the night! The people of Plano would never have thought that we would pass directly from the swamp."

This was the first time Tika went to the battlefield. He originally admired General Prolo and joined the army without hiding his family. General Prolo has always been invincible. He thought he would become a witness to the next extraordinary victory. Tika followed the veterans to pack up his things. He saw someone writing suicide notes. Tika asked blankly: "Why do you need to write suicide notes? Aren't we following General Prolo?" The veteran laughed angry at him, and he said: "Are you here to travel? Do you think the battlefield is going to be a battlefield?

Is he bitten by a mosquito?" Another soldier patted him and told him not to care. Then he looked at Tika: "Boy, you are young and not as old as a forced call, so why should you join the army?" "Of course it's to follow General Proluo and fight everywhere!" Tika didn't take all this to heart, and was still very excited. The soldier smiled and said: "Okay, boy, good luck!" Tika scratched his head and went back with a foolish smile.

The team prepared dinner early, for fear that it would be difficult to move after the war.

As the night darkened, the army had assembled early. Each of the vanguards brought a wooden board one inch thick and two meters high. When they arrived at the swamp, the vanguards set out five people, carefully spread the boards on the swamp, and jogged back to the queue. Then the five people came out again. They came to the swamp, lay on the wooden boards, and placed the wooden boards they carried flat on their backs, moved them little by little, placed the boards on their backs in front of the previous boards, and then carefully climbed back. This repeatedly made a boardwalk quickly paved.

"Cross the swamp!" General Prolo ordered that the soldiers quickly turned into eight teams, and slowly moved from the wooden boards slowly across the swamp. After arriving on the other side of the swamp, Prolo asked them to arrange the queue and count the number of people. Prolo nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, prepare for attack! The first team attacked the north side of the city. According to reports, the defending troops there were temporary recruits of mercenaries, with a small number of people and had not received any professional training. I hope you can break through as soon as possible to assist us from the inside." The captain of the first team was General Prolo's friend.

, Knight Liva, he nodded and said, "Received!" Then he led his troops to rush towards the Ximen of the city. General Prolo looked at the troops again and ordered: "The second and third team attacked from the main gate in a moment. If Liva successfully broke through Ximen, we will cooperate with them inside and outside. If they are restrained, then we will distract them and break the city together. In the fourth team, you have little experience, stay in the rear for support. If we do not send someone to send a message in two hours, come and support as soon as possible, have you heard?" "Heard!"

Tika was assigned to the fourth ranks. After all, it was his first time to go to the battlefield, so it was impossible to be sent to the front line immediately. Most people were glad that they were assigned to the support force, but Tika was depressed. He hoped to go to the battlefield and make great achievements with the general.

In less than an hour, Viscount Anna, who was in charge of them, felt something was wrong. They were not far from the city and were fighting anywhere, so why could there be no movement here? Viscount Anna made a quick decision and shouted, "Listen to my orders and follow me to support the general." Although many people were full of doubts, they still picked up their weapons and rushed towards the city.

As they got closer and closer to the city, they felt colder and colder. Many soldiers even had their teeth trembled. Viscount Anna's heart suddenly sank: It's early autumn now, Atesta is in the south, and the temperature is not too low even in the severe winter, and even frost is rare. But now, almost the whole weed on the ground is frozen, and you can even hear the sound of ice ridges breaking when you step on it. He immediately understood, afraid that General Prolo would be in big trouble. So he called one of his entourages and whispered: "When something is wrong later, you should hurry back, not go back to Atesta, and go directly to the capital of the Principality to report to the Supreme Administrator. Remember, you must tell the Supreme Administrator in person, have you heard it?" The entourage nodded obediently, and then retreated silently into the team.

Not far away, there was a vast white area. The soldiers of Plano were cleaning the battlefield. Anna waved his hand and stopped the queue. He sent a scout to see what happened first. The scout was lying in the grass and slowly approaching the city. Not long after, the scout crawled and rolled back. He looked frightened, with a pale face and trembling all over. Anna quickly asked him: "What the hell have you seen? Tell me!" The scout said tremblingly, "Those are ice cubes, ice cubes wrapped in corpse fragments!" Anna exclaimed in a lost voice: "What?!" The soldiers he led were all new eggs. They had never been to the battlefield. Their psychological quality was not that good, but more were ignorant and fearless. For a moment, they shouted: "Roar!" "Avenge the General!"

Anna's face turned pale. These recruits didn't know anything at all. When the gap in strength between the two sides was too big, it was not possible to offset the tactics or fighting spirit. Everyone had only one life. No matter what kind of belief, they could not give themselves a life. These idiots probably thought that they were fighting against Gorellens, the son of the God of War, or the undefeated emperor Enosfan, and thought that they could show their hidden abilities as soon as they arrived in danger. He raised his hand to stop their noise, and he ordered

: "Retreat!" "Why should we retreat? We are rushing over now to avenge the generals and make achievements in war?" Someone shouted. Anna sternly shouted: "No one can win three times the number of people. You novices really think that they are war geniuses like Gorellens? He is the son of the God of War. Ask yourself, what are your talents? Retreat!" His entourage had already followed his orders and rushed back, and these new recruits were still slowing down, looking reluctant.

The new recruits deliberately walked slowly and were indeed discovered by the people of Plano. However, they were not afraid and rushed over to fight the pursuers almost happily. Anna cursed inwardly: "Idiot!" He was their boss, and of course he could not escape in the battle.

Totally one side, Plano's pursuers were all mercenaries. Although their experience was better than these recruits, they could not resist the number of people. Soon they were at a disadvantage. But Anna still looked solemn, and his other entourage asked carefully: "Sir, why are you not happy at all?" "Did we win? You see the broken corpses covered with ice, but you don't know what happened?" Anna said with a wry smile. The entourage's face turned pale: "You mean...Dangala?" "Who else besides him? Even if Zhuoga wants to cast such a huge frozen magic, it will take several days to prepare, but Dangala, who has the frost dragon, can freeze everything anytime and anywhere. We can't escape."

A rumbling thunder came from the sky, but the moonlight in the sky was still very good. Prolo made a fortune telling that the moon was good tonight and chose to attack tonight. The thunder was getting closer and lower, and the soldiers also noticed something was wrong. They stopped fighting and looked at the sky. Under the bright moonlight, a little black shadow in the sky approached quickly, getting bigger and bigger, and it was vaguely visible that it was a dragon. The soldiers were talking: "That's a dragon!" "Is it the Dragon Cavalry Guard of Plano?" "Maybe it?" "Why is there only one?"...

Although they knew that these recruits with higher eyes than the top could not listen to them, Ana still shouted: "That's Dangala, you guys fucking run!" However, no one paid attention to them, they became excited. The victory just now gave them wrong confidence, and they mistakenly believed that they could deal with the dragon like those mythical heroes.

The dragon was getting closer and closer, but even if it was still a distance, it could see its huge appearance clearly. It was a huge creature nearly the size of a hill. When you saw it, you could understand that the ancient dragon's destruction ability was not a false news. The dragon raised its head and roared, and the whole earth trembled. The team suddenly became chaotic. Many people did not stand firm and fell to the ground. Anna shouted with all his strength: "Run quickly!" They then realized and ran back with no life.

But it was too late, and the dragon was getting closer and closer to the ground. The airflow brought by its huge wings directly overturned the entire army to the ground. Before they could get up, the frost dragon spit out a cold current from its mouth. They were frozen together with the ground, crystal clear, and exuding an amazing beauty in the moonlight.

The dragon flew towards their escape, and used its wings to shatter the ice sculptures. These people were frozen tightly, and even if they were broken, no drop of blood was flowing out.

Anna looked at the dragon in despair, and Tangalo sat on the dragon's back. He didn't even wear a helmet. The helmet was held by him on his waist. He lowered his head and looked coldly at the mess on the ground. He didn't need to work hard. The Frost Dragon is enough to deal with everything, but what does his strength, which can tame the Frost Dragon, need to prove it?

Tika had only one thought in his mind: this was the one who killed General Prolo, this was the one who killed General Prolo... He was stupidly holding the sword to rush forward, he avoided the first wave of attacks, but he could not see the dead comrades, he could only see the giant dragon. When Anna saw that he was about to rush forward, he grabbed him and slapped him with a backhand: "Your life that was leaked was not for you! What do you think you can do?! Do you think you are the chosen son of God? Get out! At least, I want to save someone..." Tika then woke up, and he was shocked and ran back desperately. The swamp, along with the wooden boards on it and the people on the boards were frozen.

When Tika saw Atesta in front of him, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, when he approached the city, his smile froze. Atesta became a crystal city, crystal clear and shining with silver light. The dragon stopped by the side of the city, and he wanted to go and see, but he knew that he could not go. He slowly retreated, slowly retreated, and fled far away in the other direction, and he could only escape.

Tangalo looked at Atesta in front of him, and he knelt on the ground with one knee, pressing the ground with his right hand. The magic power went deep into the ground along his fingertips, woven a huge net below. His magic power flowed circulating in the net, and the soil under the entire city of Atesta was penetrated by the magic power. He withdrew his hand, recited the spell, and said softly: "Sank." The entire Atesta city began to sink, dust rose, and the dragon slapped on the ground, as if he was a little dissatisfied. Atesta sank faster. Not long after, the entire city was completely buried in the soil, and the ground was more than ten meters higher. Tangalo raised his hand, and the plants grew out quickly, and soon covered the original site of Atesta.

He looked at the forest in front of him, and seemed to be feeling a little moved, but he said nothing and went back on the dragon.

"The Battle of Atesta was not a large-scale battle even in ancient times. It was not compared with the foreign countries where more than 100,000 people often went to war. Compared with the few wars in the same era, the Battle of Atesta, which dispatched more than 1,000 people in total, could almost be called a small fight between tribes. However, it played an important role in history. At that time, the Principality of Naitas, which had just been founded, was the first country to promote a democratic system. Although its democracy only existed among the free people, it could still be called a pioneering move. The first person who just took office

Roglova, a chief executive, urgently needed a merit to consolidate the new regime and regime. He turned his attention to Plano, who was trapped in the "poisoning incident in the capital". In this battle, there were not many soldiers in Naitas, but the generals were all elite. General Prolo, who became famous in a young age, did not talk about his friend Liva Knight. At that time, Sir Ana, who had just emerged, proposed the concept of "market" was also sent to the battlefield. Sir Ana was the first person in history to propose the concept of "market". He also published an article about production and consumption."

"However, these young talents were sleeping in Atesta. The new regime was criticized by the supporters of the old system. Chief Executive Roglova was forced to step down after only twenty-six days in power. The democratic principality disappeared before it could spread democracy. This battle delayed the progress of the world for more than three hundred years. The ignorance of the people in that era was not enough to understand advanced ideas, but Roglova had no chance to win their understanding. He was assassinated by his political enemies just two days after he stepped down."
