"I'll be there soon."
After closing the small communication circle that looked like a crystal ball in his hand, Joshua raised his head and took a deep breath. There was no expression on his tough face.
He looked around at the hillside covered with snow, with only a few pale rocks exposed, and then turned sideways to the silver-haired girl behind him who was holding his waist and said: "Firefaction, I have a mission for you."
"Yes Master."
Without hesitation, Yingying immediately nodded and agreed, but there was a puzzled look in her green eyes: "But, what kind of mission is it?"
"You should know the way."
After dismounting, Joshua walked between the wide snowfields. The wind from the north whistled past his ears with a chill. The bone-chilling chill penetrated his body, but was driven away by the gradually burning red light: "With black Go to the Black Forest Fortress as quickly as possible, it’s not far away, about an hour.”
"Then...Master you?"
Taking the reins of the black war horse under him, the silver-haired Shenji didn't seem to understand why yet and asked blankly: "What do you want to do?"
"I?"
This question is really out of level.
He took out the model of the sword and armor from his waist, and then recited the secret words. The black-haired and red-eyed warrior was suddenly covered in a burst of light. In an instant, the magic light dissipated, and he was wrapped in heavy armor. A man holding a giant sword stood. On the white snow, he raised his left hand, which was covered by iron armor. The five fingers, as heavy and powerful as iron pliers, opened and then clenched, making a squeaking sound of metal friction.
Black and full of ribs, the simple Maximilian-style armor seems simple and unpretentious, but it is full of heavy majesty. The faint lines form two death crows with wings spread on the tips of the shoulders. The cold and heavy helmet Above, there were two red light spots flickering in a V-shaped gap.
Although the sound was blocked by the helmet and seemed a bit blurry, Joshua's voice still reached the ears of the mysterious girl.
"Cleaning up the trash, of course."
"boom!"
Red fighting energy gushes out from the depths of the body, and the snow is blown away, revealing the black earth and solid rock underneath. The gravity is broken away in an instant, and the warrior wearing black Maximilian-style heavy armor Rising into the air, covered in blood-like light, he looked in the direction of the Black Forest Fortress and sneered.
Golden behemoth? Tide of wild beasts
Facing him, they were all vulnerable.
—Black Forest Fortress.
When the masked warrior, Kiri Ouranos, woke up from his brief coma, what he saw was the black smoke-filled fortress, and what he touched were cold weapons.
The magic power of chaos called to the wind and snow, gray clouds slowly appeared in the sky, palm-sized snowflakes circled on the battlefield, and the screams of the wind mixed with the thunderous war roars poured into the man's ears, making him confused. His mind quickly returned to normal and he became as clear-headed as ever.
"I'm actually still alive..."
With a faint smile in his muffled voice, Killy struggled to get up. He used the steel spear in his hand as a crutch, adapted to his injured body, and stood on the city wall that had been covered with a layer of frost and snow.
What happened before
As soon as this question appeared in his mind, it was answered by the soldier's own memory.
"... When I was trying to stop the giant beast, I was knocked away and I was still alive, which is considered good luck... "
There was a dull pain in the internal organs, and the soldier's gray eyes looked around. The war was still going on. On the battlefield wrapped in purple mist, smoke caused by the roar of artillery rose into the sky. The fluctuations of magic power exploded all the time. The earth shook violently, but the killing sound resounded through the sky. The sound drowned out all the noise.
"Everyone obeys the order!"
Suddenly, a strong and heroic command sounded from the front, breaking through the chaotic and noisy battlefield.
"Enchant archers, mages, siege crossbows, and artillery, prepare them in sequence, aim - cover and shoot!!!"
"yes!"
They were scattered, but they could still hear the responses clearly. A few seconds later, a rainstorm of black arrows flew across the sky with a buzzing sound, and flew away, while various spells raised rock thorns and shook the air. Opening the air, igniting molten fire, and calling for ice, they all hit the densely rolling herd of wild beasts under the city wall, causing huge commotion and casualties.
Then there was the slight tremor caused by the enchanted bed crossbow shooting and the roar of artillery. Countless huge holes instantly appeared in the chaotic beast tide. The violent explosions brought scorching shock waves, melting the surrounding ice and snow, and the fiery The steam is thick and mixed with the black and purple dust, making it extremely turbid.
But the beast tide did not show any signs of retreating. Ignoring the death of their 'companions', these monsters continued to open their fangs, extend their claws, and ooze thick and smelly saliva. They rushed towards the fortress. They attacked The city wall breaks the rocks with its sharp claws and climbs up bit by bit. Those who come after follow the footsteps of the former and advance quickly.
The few magical beasts with the ability to breathe did not charge blindly. They stayed in place, gathering the magic power around them, and then sprayed out beams of light of various colors, bombarding the walls and towers of the fortress, accompanied by waves of not serious shaking. , smoke and dust rose, and gravel fell.
"Well-"
A bolt of electric blue breath as fast as thunder shot towards the direction of the masked warrior. Killy hurriedly turned around to avoid it, but his injured body still hindered his movement. The high-heat light beam narrowly missed his head, knocking him away. The steel spear beside him dissolved.
The black iron gun shaft turned red instantly, and he immediately released the weapon in his hand. The soldier turned his head angrily to look for the monster attacking him, but unexpectedly felt a coolness on his face. After a moment of shock, he realized that the magic beast on his face The hooded helmet has been shot down.
"It's really troublesome." Long dark green hair was flying in the air, and his ears, which were slightly pointed compared to humans, were trembling. Killy gathered his hair and simply tied it into a ponytail. This half-elf warrior had countless features on his handsome face. The tattoo, which was engraved with the blood of monsters, had green-blue lightning flowing on it. He frowned and said, "You actually used the power of thunder and lightning to deal with me? Ridiculous."
But now is not the time to deal with a monster that is only at the mid-level Silver level and cannot even break through his magic pattern defense. He has more important things to do.
Picking up a straight sword left by a certain warrior from the ground, Keely looked around the battlefield again, and this time he finally found his target.
It was a battlefield on the other side of the city wall. The blond knight and the white-haired mage joined forces to fight with the long-range attacks supported by the fortress tower. The giant monster that had lost its wisdom and judgment had a body. The huge gold-level power was tightly entangled by these two experienced silver peaks and could not continue to attack the city wall.
But even so, the knights and mages persevered very hard. They waved cross hammers and staffs, and used various fighting skills and spells, but they were unable to break through the ice tide and ice armor and cause decisive damage to the golden beast. , can only hinder the opponent's impact and make it circle in place.
Human physical strength has its limits, but behemoths have endless endurance. When their strength is exhausted, the deadlock is broken.
Killy held his chest, his internal organs were still aching. The injuries caused by being knocked away by the giant beast were very serious. Even with his elf blood, magic pattern and silver warrior's recovery power, he couldn't survive in such a short period of time. Restore the combat effectiveness at its peak within a certain period of time.
"But that's enough for now."
Running quickly towards the battlefield over there, the half-elf warrior prepared to return to his own battlefield.
But an inexplicable chill hit him behind him, causing his body to tremble instinctively.
At the same time, the two peak silver knights and mages who were entangled with the giant beast also felt this terrifying but unexpectedly uneasy chill. They moved at the same time to force the giant beast back, and then instinctively Raise your head and look into the distance.
A dark red light rose in the distant horizon, dyeing the clouds a blood-red color like sunset.
