[Comprehensive English and American] Ripples in time and space

"Is this your memory?" They landed in front of Ostaga's barracks, and the three Hawkes looked around in surprise, "When did you go to Ostaga?"

"This is not my memory." Kelly said, "This is... it can be said to be my foresight." She said and led a few people to the front table: there, King Kailan, General Logan and Several other lords are discussing the strategic design against the plague.

What she showed them was the scene of Ostagar in the Dragon Age game: an army of 5000 people gathered in Ostaga, led by the young king Kailan himself.The queen's father, Logan McTee, a great hero in Ferelden's War of Independence, was his deputy.

Kailan is young and energetic, full of heroic complex, and intends to repel the plague beautifully and kill the big devil, but ignores Logan's persuasion to stick to the fortress.He stubbornly wants to encircle the darkin army in the plague, leading the army to lure the enemy himself, and letting Logan lead the main force to outflank it from the side. However, the real number and strength of the plague army are far beyond his imagination.Facing the disparity in strength between the two sides, Logan led the main force to retreat regardless of Kailan's life or death. Kailan and the [-] Ferelden troops who had lost their backup were all killed on the spot, including Duncan, the leader of the Gray Robe Guardians.Ostagar fell, the Darkborn poured into Ferelden, a large area of ​​land fell, and the people were displaced. Most of the people died tragically at the hands of the Darkborn and ogres before they could even escape.

This period of history is long to say, but the display in the game is only a few 10 minutes.After the memory ended and they fell back to reality, the faces of all three were pale.Kawau whispered: "How is that possible? That's Logan—how could he do such a thing?"

Logan is the great hero in the minds of all Ferelden, which is roughly equivalent to the image of Captain America in the hearts of Americans.Kelly understands perfectly that this is a huge blow.She remained silent, waiting for them to calm down a little, waved her hand to stop the three of them from asking questions, then pulled out another memory and put it in the Pensieve.

What she showed them this time was the beginning of the second generation of the game - the plague had poured into Ferelden, Kavo escaped from Ostagar, escaped and told his family the news, and lived in Lorzeling The Hawke family fled north in a hurry.On the way, they encountered a huge ogre, and Bethany was killed.After going through many hardships, they finally crossed the sea and arrived at Kirkwall, only to find that the city was already crowded with refugees from Ferelden. Liandra's mother, Liandra, proposed to find her brother, but found that her brother had already gambled and lost all his family property, and turned from a nobleman in Kirkwall to a gangster.In desperation, Maria and Kavo "sold themselves" to a faction as mercenaries for free, in exchange for the family's eligibility to enter the city.

When they returned to reality again, Bucky had packed up the luggage of both of them—some things that were inconvenient to take out needed to be placed in the small bag that Kelly cast the space expansion spell on, and there were quite a few things that had to be carried on the back of the bag. Otherwise, it would be too strange for the two of them not to recite anything.Kelly went over to give him a light kiss of thanks, then turned to the three siblings, who were still a little distracted.Bucky picked up a heavy purse from the side and touched Kelly lightly.

"I set aside the money we needed on the road," he said, "and the rest—I don't think we'll ever need it, successful or not—"

"Of course." Kelly laughed, so Bucky handed over the money bag, and Maria subconsciously reached out to take it. Then she woke up and hurried to return it. Bucky held her hand firmly. Hand: "Anyway, we don't have much need for money in the future." He said, "I still suggest that you leave for Kirkwall quickly, even if it's just for insurance..."

"You two—didn't you say that you must go to Ostagar?" Bethany asked a little frightened, "Since you know that the battle will be defeated there?"

"We will do our best to try to prevent the fall of Ostaga," Kelly said. "As you can see, this failure is not inevitable-but whether it will succeed or not, Bucky and I are not sure at the moment. .So, just to be on the safe side. Kavo, you don't want to follow, take care of your family, okay?"

Kavo had a complicated expression, probably thinking of Bethany's death, and finally nodded after a while.Kelly breathed a sigh of relief.She wanted to give a few words to the children, but suddenly there was another knock on the door.

"Sir, captain!" a soldier outside shouted.Kelly hastily put the wand back into the dark pocket, and the Pensieve and long staff hastily stuffed into the leather pouch. After scanning around, Bucky agreed to open the door after seeing that there were no traces of magic items.

"We've finished our preparations, sir." Outside the door was a soldier under Bucky's command and saluted him, "You said earlier that you would come to see you in three hours."

"We'll go there right away and let everyone know we're ready to go." Bucky nodded, turned around and picked up his bag and carried it on his back. Kelly also picked up her own bag and carried it on her back.She took a step ahead and went outside to unchain Cap's dog, and heard Bethany asking Bucky inside, "You will come back safely together, right?"

"Oh, I'm afraid I can't guarantee that we'll meet again now." Bucky reassured her tenderly, "But I can assure you that neither of us will die. Take care along the way, too, okay?"

They said a hasty farewell, and set out for the castle, where they assembled at the baron's castle for Ostaga early the next morning.There were very few horses in Ferelden, and 400 people marched forward. On the seventh day, they met another 300 soldiers from the barony, so the two sides simply moved forward together.It was not until the tenth day that they arrived at Ostaga, where the military camp was already quite large.

As the leader of the team, Bucky was called away to listen to orders as soon as he arrived in Ostaga, while Kelly and Lawrence, another deputy captain, were responsible for arranging the camp for the army. The resettlement of the 400 people was also quite hectic. Before the resettlement was finished, Bucky came back with a piece of news - they will be responsible for patrolling a certain section of the defense line the next day.

"Relax, didn't you all listen to the introduction to the Darkborn yesterday? Everyone needs to be careful, but don't scare yourself." Bucky encouraged everyone while walking, but the soldiers of Lorzelling have dealt with them the most for a long time. It was nothing more than a few scattered bandits, who suddenly wanted to fight the plague, and each of them was so nervous that they wanted to walk with their hands and feet.

"It's the same as we usually do. We only need to pay attention to two things: try to hit the enemy, and try not to be hit by the enemy." Kelly smiled from the side, "Who is really scared, hide behind my shield, huh? "

"If you don't have a seed, hide behind the girl's shield!" A soldier in the team yelled in a rough voice, and everyone burst into laughter. Kelly raised an eyebrow at him, and raised the long shield in her hand: "You are very handsome! , Thomson, come to make gestures?"

Thomson shrank his head exaggeratedly, and everyone laughed again, and the atmosphere relaxed. Bucky secretly gave the booing Thomson a "good job" look.The line of defense they are in charge of is not too long, but there are often scattered demon reconnaissance teams wandering around the area. After discussing with Bucky, Kelly and Bucky decided to get together instead of spreading their hands apart—after all, everyone is The recruits don't have an advantage against the dark descendants; moreover, the line of defense is relatively short, and Kelly and Bucky can probably detect the sounds in this area with their enhanced hearing, and there is no danger of slipping through the net.

They walked back and forth at the edge of the woods, and Bucky just wanted to announce a temporary rest, but Kelly suddenly raised her hand, showing a listening expression, the whole team froze suddenly, and everyone fell silent.

"About 700 meters ahead, there should be only one team." After a while, Kelly whispered, "We are in the upwind area. Everyone is on alert!"

Everyone drew their weapons immediately, and Bucky commanded: "Shield fighters push forward, listen to Kelly's command, keep the formation, and don't pass her position! Archers—" He quickly raised his eyes and glanced around, With a wave of his hand: "Go to the cliff over there!"

It is said to be a cliff, but it is actually just a mountain wall that is more than two people high. There is a narrow platform at about one person's height where you can stand.Bucky glanced at Kelly: "I'll go get them here."

"Be careful." Kelly said, Bucky disappeared into the forest, she turned to an archer and raised her shield: "Jump up, I will lift you up!"

Under her demonstration, several shield warriors used their shields to send the three archers to the cliff.And in the distance, the sound of Bucky and the Darkborn fighting has already sounded, followed by the chaotic sound of chasing and the sound of branches breaking in the forest. Get up your shield.Bucky jumped onto the shield, and Kelly lifted the shield upwards. He easily crossed the gap of more than one meter in the middle, and landed firmly on the narrow footing of the cliff. He twisted his body, drew the string and set the arrow, the bow was like a full moon, and with one arrow, he shot through the front of the demon who rushed out of the forest.
