"Losing honour as a leader, losing people as a king, losing virtue as a man&8221; I, Roland Mist, as the last descendant of Mist, hereby iestured with his hand, and with the help of the sonic wave ability, of which the Frigid Nightry roar was spread to every corner of the entire city
The ed as I am, stood on the dais of the palace, and announced my decision to the world
The prepared sheep-skin paper was spread out, the cri read out, one by one for all to hear The itation allowed these blood-like words to float in the air, catching even more attention!
"Crime number one, in a cruelof blood relatives…of kin&8221;
…
"Crie of resources; watching the people die of hunger and yet wearing clothes of silk and feasting to his heart’s content!&8221;
"Cri danger and ene crime was read out, the s of every house opened, to listen to the announcement that came from the palace
Thelist of re any e that bubbled from the bottom of my heart
"We will take care of all these criht of you weaklings anyet your ass off the throne as King of Mist!&8221;
"One thousand and seven hundred or so years ago, Northland was a wasteland, with perpetual coldness Wild beasts were everywhere, and all the bad conditions we see now, have reed since then But at that ti the land of exiles Every country exiled their criminals here, and they usually died within three to five years If any survived, then there were more trouble, without any survival skills, a majority of them turned into bandits&8221;
"Natural disasters, crimes, wild beasts all at once, even if at that time Northland was not hell on earth, it was very close!&8221;
Following Roland’s description, and co it to the current scenario, the Mist people were starting to guess where this is heading
"At that ti Raven Date, who had suffered under the hand of the bitter North, unexpectedly received the Frigid Nightth, he was determined to build a country of his own in this barren land He never planned to be the great man who aspired to build a safe haven for huh of those precarious days, and he hoped to build a land to call home for himself and his own kind, a ho fron races&8221;
As the sun rose slowly, the roars rang through the whole city After the citizens were temporarily stunned into silence, Prince Roland’s name and deep voice stopped the people in their tracks to listen attentively
"During the beginning, everyone sneered at hiht he was an idiot sleep talking And building a country here is equivalent to building a fortress at the frontlines of the war between men and beastmen, the beastmen were certain to oppose its construction And he, this penniless lad, who couldn’t even take care of his meals, where would he find the resources and food for self-sustainability?&8221;
"However, there is no impossibility in this world, Raven Date, no matter how many hardships he had to experience, forced the impossible to become possible, and built his home on this frozen land&8221;
"No valuable local products or riches? He believed that where there is a will, there is a way He found hi tea spade by spade, they stubbornly found their own special local products in this barren land &8212; Magic Minerals&8221;
"No sturdy defence against the threats of the outer world? At the border, his followers and hiully and sentry by their bare hands, and replaced guarding troops on horses with their legs, and used their flesh and blood to build the other walls to protect their own people!&8221;
The young people preparing to go to work, the wo, when they heard these stories about their for that were not recorded in the history books, they stopped in their tracks
"Praise the for! It is you, who pioneered our honity&8221;
"&8221;We ad in our pockets I could not guarantee that after fighting so hard with e, but what I know for sure, is that if we do not do anything just because there is no guarantee, then ill never do anything If we ave all I could give until the very lastsaid In the harshness of nature, there were no miracles from heaven, no mysterious hope All there was to rely on was yourself and your companions, and this hat that was known as the Spirit of Mist And the Northlanders that were chosen by our for to follow him became the earliest Mist people&8221;
"We are different from the other ancient races, a majority of us have mixed ancestry But what identifies us as Mist race, is never our bloodline or skin colour, all Northlanders with the Spirit of Mist, are considered Mist people! These are the true words fro, and the truth that we, the descendants of Mist, always believed in!&8221;
"One thousand four hundred and twenty-three years ago, that was the first tido froates that led to the underground Uncountable deht, seventeen cities in Mist kingdom were taken over In Diffindor, the capital city, a state of eive up their homes To protect their homes, they sacrificed countless lives, determined to send the demons back to where they came from&8221;
"The marks of what had happened remained to this day, and that is the Aweimar, the abyss of dee left froing wind That day, the Spirit of Mist and the War flags of Mist were stained with the red colour of blood for the first time We went on to the development path that was completely different from the Central Northland Grit and perseverance beca will and an unyielding tenia ore proudly&8221;
The citizens silently watched the War flags of Mist that could be seen everywhere, a new feeling of appreciation slowly grew from within Perhaps, as passed doas not only blood, but a secret buried deep within, waiting to be revealed
"One thousand one hundred and twenty-nine years ago, there was a battle that involved er remain silent invaded the Northland In that cruel winter, it was a war that no one expected, but it lasted for twelve long years The Mist people lost one million three hundred and seventy thousand men in battle, and countless wounded Most of the royal family members were lost, and as for lords ere responsible for protecting their hos and seven royal e From the day he took the throne to the day he died in battle, it had been only twelve days Froenerals of the ar of the sword and horse because we never knohen he oes on the battlefield, no lory, or to die with dignity!&8221;
"Another new tradition that was for falls, his prince will assume the throne If the prince has fallen, the princess will take his place, and when the princess has fallen, the queen shall lead As long as the royal fa, we of the Mist bloodline will never be taken as prisoners Because our ene us is pointless After all, our ancestors have led us by examples Surrender? Be taken as prisoners? How can we, their descendants, disappoint our founders? We would rather kill ourselves&8221;
"Seven hundred years ago, the war that started out of a sudden, can slave trade represented an endless blood stain, but it also represented endless wealth And our Mist Kingdom stood on the path to treasure, therefore many superior weaponry fell into the hands of the Beastmen After that ith the Beastmen, despite our torn homeland, we declared ith the many countries that were behind the war&8221;
