Chapter 966: Shame of 203

Shade waved to the guards beside him:

"Give me the flowers."

As soon as Sha De finished speaking, the guards hurriedly handed the bunches of flowers in their hands to Sha De.

"Erwin, wait here."

After saying that, Shade walked into the royal cemetery holding these flowers without looking back.

The Royal Cemetery was quite silent.

At this moment, except for Sha De, there was no one else in the royal cemetery.

There were some fallen leaves scattered on the floor made of marble bricks.

Shade's head was covered with dense sycamore leaves.

The sun is setting slightly in the west, and today's weather is a little dry. The dense sycamore trees give a cool funeral to the dead branches and leaves on the masonry ground.

Click.

There was no reason to avoid it, so Shade stepped on the corpses of fallen leaves and dead branches.

The sound like broken bones became the only sound in the royal cemetery at this time.

Soon, Xia De walked to the tombstones of past emperors.

His father, his grandfather, and his ancestors rest here.

Shade respectfully laid flowers on each tombstone.

"Father……"

Shade placed the last bouquet of flowers in his hand in front of the tomb of the late emperor, his father.

My father now rests on the ground beneath his feet.

On Shade's father's tombstone, there is a short epitaph engraved:

[My descendants, remember the "shame of 203" and destroy the Britannia Empire. 】

"The Shame of 203" - a major event that occurred in the 203rd year of the Frank Empire's imperial calendar, was a famous national humiliation of the Frank Empire.

203 AD of the Frank Empire - In this year, the capital of the Frank Empire was captured by the Britannia Empire.

In the history of the Britannia Empire, there were two periods of unprecedented military strength.

The first period was the period when the Britannia Empire was just founded and the first emperor ruled.

The second period was the period when the sixth emperor of the Britannian Empire was in power.

When the 6th emperor of the Britannia Empire reigned, the empire's military strength was unprecedentedly strong. At that time, there were two unified knights in the army at the same time - the 7th unified knight and the 8th unified knight.

The Britannian Empire has always regarded its eastern neighbor, the Frankish Empire, as a major threat to itself.

In order to deal with this big threat, the successive emperors of the Britannian Empire came up with and used various methods.

There are peaceful ways, there are rough ways...

The empire's powerful military power gave the sixth-generation emperor of the Britannia Empire full of confidence. He decided to use the most brutal method to deal with his eastern neighbors - to directly send troops to conquer.

At that time, the Frankish Empire was at a low point in national power.

Under the joint fierce attack of the two unified knights, the Frankish Empire's army retreated steadily, unable to resist the attack of the Britannia army.

The Britannian army captured the capital of the Frankish Empire with overwhelming force.

The capital of the Frankish Empire at that time was [Arnoldov].

After capturing the capital of the Frankish Empire, the Britannian army launched a brutal plunder and massacre of Arnoltov.

The Frankish Empire was also forced to move its capital to Bailu.

Because supplies could not keep up, the Britannia Empire terminated its offensive after capturing Arnoltov, the "former capital" of the Frank Empire.

In this battle, the Britannian army was completely victorious.

Not only did they annihilate a large number of Frankish troops, they also swallowed up all the land west of Arnoltov, turning the Rhine into the inland river of the Britannia Empire for the first time.

However, what no one expected at the time was that it took the Frank Empire only five years to regain all the lands they had lost.

The capital of the country fell and was ravaged by the enemy - one can imagine how humiliated the monarchs and ministers of the Frank Empire felt at that time.

At that time, the emperor of the Frank Empire named this great defeat the "Shame of 203." In order to wash away this shame, the emperor, civil servants, and military attachés of the Frank Empire united unprecedentedly.

Everyone has only one belief - revenge against the Britannia Empire! Fight back to the Rhine! Take back everything they lost!

Driven by this belief, the Frankish Empire recovered its national strength at an astonishing speed.

It only took 5 years for the Frankish Empire to successfully push back, regain their old capital, regain all the land they lost, and push the national border back to the east bank of the Rhine.

However, this does not mean that their "203 shame" has been successfully washed away.

Because the shame brought to them by the Britannia Empire was too great.

After the capture of Arnoltov, the generals of the Britannia Army committed atrocities against the capital of the Frankish Empire that they do not know how to describe with words.

At that time, the population of Arnordorf was 1.13 million people.

When the Frank Empire recaptured its old capital five years later, there were only 310,000 people left in this once most prosperous city in the Frank Empire...

Just taking back the land that originally belonged to them, how could the monarchs and ministers of the Frank Empire swallow this bad breath?

We must let Pendragon of the Britannia Empire experience the humiliation and pain that Arnoltov suffered!

The "Shame of 203" is a major event worthy of being recorded in history and worthy of being remembered forever by future generations.

Because this incident was the trigger of the "Hundred Years War" between the Britannian Empire and the Frankish Empire.

It was this major event that kicked off the "Hundred Years' War" between the two countries.

After this incident, the two countries launched a long war that lasted for hundreds of years.

The Frankish Empire wanted to take revenge on the Britannian Empire and wanted Pendragon to experience the humiliation and pain that Arnoltov had endured.

In the minds of the Franks, the "shame of 203" is far from being successfully washed away.

Only by destroying the Britannia Empire and turning Pendragon into ruins like Arnoltov can the "shame of 203" be washed away!

Naturally, the Britannia Empire would not just sit back and wait for death.

The Britannian Empire also wanted to attack the Frankish Empire and completely eliminate this big threat that was only separated by a river.

Looking at his father's tombstone and the epitaph on it, Sha De's mind echoed the teachings his father gave him when he was still alive...

…

"Xia De! Never forget the 'shame of 203'!"

…

"Xia De! You are the crown prince! You are the next generation monarch of the Frank Empire! We must always remember the shame brought to us by the 'Shame of 203'!"

…

"Even if it takes another hundred years... No, even if this war takes another thousand years, we must continue to fight!"

…

"We will continue to fight until the Britannia Empire is destroyed by us and the shame of '203' is successfully washed away!"

…

"Xia De! Don't be poisoned by those pedantic teachers! Those pedantic teachers actually taught you to let go of hatred, stop being blinded by the hatred of the ancestors, and stop letting the hatred of the ancestors be passed down from generation to generation? It's simply What a fart! How many sacrifices have we made to avenge the Britannia Empire? Will those pedantic old men make all our efforts go to waste now? The revenge of the Niya Empire, then all our sacrifices over the years will be in vain!"
