Chapter 1. The Legacy from the Kingdom 1

The Antaria Continent resembles a reverse trapezoid. The Mermanian Ocean, located in the south of the continent, is a large archipelago, and most of the area of the continent except the central and the south part is located within a huge basin surrounded by the Masol Mountains in the east-end, the Gigantes Mountains in the north-end, and the Dragonbreath Mountains in the west-end. The huge basin is divided into the east and west parts with a boundary line of the Oskil Mountains. In the east area, there is the Alkeonia Lake, and the Trisis Desert in the west area. The lake and desert seem like a blessing and a curse to the land at the same time.

Between the Trisis Desert and the Alkeonia Lake, within the central part of the continent, Within the south lies "the Wealthy and Glorious Pandragon Kingdom", "The Forest and Archer's Cutis" in the north.

In Cutis, the Oskil Mountains deriving from the Gigantes Mountains located in the central part of the land. And most of the people in Cutis live within the forest and mountain and hunt for a living instead of farming. Thanks to these conditions, there have been many great archers in the history of Cutis, but they have also been conquered by other countries many times because of their location.

For now, Because Cutis is joined the empire, the peace has been maintained except for the occasional attacks by the Cutis Resistance.

On The Emperess  10/10, 1207, in Cutis, a group of people were spotted wearing white armor in The Climbs North Forest in Oskil Mountains. They were lined up in an empty field in the forest. Their armor, bearing the White Dragon emblem, which was the symbol of the collapsed kingdom Pandragon. It signifies that they are the Pandragon Paladins which was organized after refugeed to Da'ghal.

They were led by Eiolin who had already grown, and they resisted against the empire all around the domain. Especially, Eiolin who was well known as "Nemesis" meaning the Goddess of vengeance. From Kashumir, the mercenary guild, they received information of "The Scepter of Gloria", which was one of the 3 treasures of the Pandragon Kingdom, was going to be transported to the empire through Cutis, so they prepared for the mission to seize the treasure.

Eiolin explained the plan to the paladins.

"The transportation units are going to pass this mountain path. I will divide our troops into two groups, the first group will stop the units and while the second group will approach the units from behind to create a blockade and attack them. The second group will be led by Duran, and the first will be led by me."

Locarno, the paladin of Pandragon, came out and said

"It's too dangerous, princess. Let me lead the first group."

This young red-haired paladin who looked quite passionate, Even though he sometimes made mistakes because of his passion and inflexible personality, is truly loyal and capable of being a paladin.

Eiolin shook her head and said,

"No. If the lord is afraid of being on the frontlines, who will trust me and follow my commands?"

Duran, the high paladin of Pandragon Kingdom, calmly said,

" Though we all know that, You and the Prince's safety is our top priority."

He obviously deserves to be a high paladin, he always keeps his composure and makes wise decisions all the time.

Eiolin said with her strong belief,

"We are descendants of a destroyed kingdom. If we do not take any risks, we cannot rebuild the kingdom. And most of all, I believe in all of you."

After that, she made eye contact with everyone and smiled at them, and everyone including Duran nodded and decided to follow her

 They all knew no one could change her decision. It was her weakness. But she had never made hasty decisions before, her weakness was changed into her strength. At that moment, Rashid asked,

"By the way, what is The Scepter of Gloria?"

His innocent smile relieved the heavy atmosphere.

the Magician Michael answered,

"It is one of the treasures of the Kingdom. With The Storm Bringer and The Ruller's Crown, We call them The Three Treasures of Pandragon Kingdom. The Storm Bringer has the power to control the thunder and wind, The Ruller's Crown can defend against physical attacks, and The Scepter of Gloria defends against magical attacks as well as augment the owner's magical power. Some call them 5 treasures with Excalibur and Balisada."

"That's really interesting."

Rashid said.

Eiolin said, "Therefore, we must retrieve the treasure, Rashid.

At that time, a scout rushed into the camp and reported.

"Empire transportation units have just arrived within the forest!"

Eiolin said, "It is time to begin! Let's go!"

The empire transportation units were moving with several wagons. The forest made the paladins hide within the foliage, and the transportation units could know they were hiding.

When the units arrived on the spot, Eiolin yelled, "Attack!!!!"

With the signal, Eiolin's first group blocked the units.

"We are the paladins of Pandragon Kingdom! Go to hell empire slaves!"

The beautiful maiden on the white horse, Eiolin, she lunged at the empire units like a brave tiger.
