The red light shone like a star, and the depressing dark clouds overhead were cleared in an instant.
Bathed in the starry sky and moonlight, the weathered knights drove their horses and re-arranged themselves on the highest point of the hill.
They pulled the reins and stopped slowly, panting gently together with their horses. The white mist slowly floated, then was torn apart by the cold wind and dissipated in the air.
The bright silver armor is covered with frost and snow, and traces of wind blowing are everywhere, but the knights are not tired. Although they have been running for several days, it stands to reason that they should have been exhausted, but the silver knight is no longer an ordinary normal creature. , this level of physical exertion is still within the load range.
Looking around, the hills are covered with frost, and the old trees with all their dead leaves carrying snow stand on the side together with the gray rocks.
The knights followed the team and stepped forward slowly. They looked down from the edge and saw a rolling darkness.
The smell of beastly blood and savagery filled the atmosphere, and accompanied by roars that shook the mountains in the distance, an endless tide of wild beasts invaded from the boundless Black Forest, rushing unstoppably like the raging waves of the Black Sea.
Is this the enemy we will face
Without any fear in their hearts, the knights looked at the man standing at the front.
The man who rides a black horse, breaks the sky with a spear, and stands under the flag.
Joshua.
Joshua Radcliffe stood at the top of the hill, in front of everyone, silently staring at the violent beast tide below.
The purple-black mist was mixed with the billowing dust, and gradually rose up as countless monsters ran. The army of all beasts cut across the sky and the earth like the dark sky falling, tearing apart the ice-condensing atmosphere. , even blizzards and strong winds cannot stop the shelter.
Even the bravest of men would hesitate before facing an army of countless furious and twisted monsters.
But for warriors, this is not the case.
Afraid
It’s better to say it’s expectation.
There is nothing better than now, and there is no need to hide the joy caused by the upcoming battle.
Like a hungry wolf greedy for blood and hungry for raw meat, the man who simply longed for a hearty battle seemed to have found what he had always wanted.
Wearing black armor, the warrior with black hair and red eyes held a silver-white giant sword tightly in his right hand, and held the second steel lance handed to him in his left hand. The biting cold wind blowing against his face made the black cloak rustle. Facing the galloping beasts, his eyes seemed to be burning and he laughed silently.
This is my era.
"Knights, obey orders!"
A sound like the roar of steel sounded at the front of the team. Joshua laughed wildly and gave the order -
"Follow me—charge!"
"charge!"
-fortress.
"Reinforcements? What's going on?"
In addition to the archers and Brandon, many people also discovered the red light flashing in the distance and the steel spear hitting the center of the beast tide. However, more soldiers who focused on hindering the beast tide did not notice this. They just The machine attacks repeatedly, harvesting waves of wild beasts.
Verdani was focused on dealing with the large number of flying species attacking from the sky, and did not notice the strange things that happened on the ground before. However, when she heard the word "reinforcements", she couldn't help but turn around and looked at the person who was still using it in confusion. He looked through the telescope at the archers in the distance and asked, "Are there really reinforcements?"
Ever since she sent a letter asking for help a few days ago, the purple-haired female mage has been waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, but she has almost given up in the disappointment day after day.
Thinking about it carefully, the countess showed a wry smile, which was full of bitterness and self-deprecation. Who would travel thousands of miles just to support an opponent who they don't usually interact with, and who may even compete with her? As for how much threat the escaped beasts after breaking the fortress would pose to the entire Northland, how could those people understand without personal experience.
"No, Dany, there really are reinforcements."
With one sword, he chopped off the heads of several monsters that were climbing the wall. The golden swordsman Brandon turned around and said seriously to his lover: "I saw it. Just now, someone burst out with fighting spirit in the distance and threw a lance across several meters." It hit the center of the beast tide from a distance of a thousand meters, causing horrific damage, but you didn't see it because the beast tide was replenished too quickly."
"Yeah?"
The countess naturally believed in him. If there was anyone in the world who would not deceive her, then it was only this blond swordsman. Veldani cast an extremely effective eagle eye spell on herself and looked at Bran. Den points to the distance.
In the field of vision, the Radcliffe family's flag with black background and gold rim was fluttering in the strong wind, and the emblem of the sword-holding hand was so obvious.
The knights riding dragon-blooded horses followed the flag and arranged an array on the hill. The leader was a tall warrior wearing black full-body armor and holding a giant sword and a spear. His body was burning with the unique fighting spirit of a gold-level warrior. ring.
There are indeed reinforcements.
But she couldn't help but sigh in disappointment: "Only fifty people?!"
Fifty people
Hearing his lord's emotion, some soldiers of the patrol group who were fighting nearby couldn't help showing complicated and unspeakable expressions, and then these rough men simply cursed: "Fifty people, such a small amount of reinforcements are of no use! "
"What do they think this is? Kids playing house?"
"This **** was a huge beast tide of 200,000 people. Fifty people were gone in an instant! If we hadn't been protected by the city wall, they would have been eaten up by us!"
A certain warrior shot a wolf-shaped wild beast down from the edge of the city wall. He wiped the cold sweat from his head, looked at the densely packed wild beasts on the ground floor, twisting and surging like a sea of hell, and said loudly: "Don't talk such nonsense. Look, even the city gate is blocked by the corpses of these monsters. Even if they can break through the beast tide, we can't open the city gate to let them in!"
What he said was half right. The wild beasts left thousands of corpses at the bottom of the city wall. With their huge size, if it were a small city wall more than ten meters high, the corpses would have been piled up on a slope, and then other monsters would have piled up a slope. Can easily attack the city wall. Even if the Moldova Fortress, a super-large city wall made of hollowed-out stone mountains, would not be submerged so quickly, the city gates would already have been firmly blocked by corpses.
"It's useless. With such a small number of people, it's useless even if they come."
With a deep sigh, the city guards who learned the news once again recognized the seriousness of the matter. Facing such a large-scale Kuroshio attack, even reinforcements were useless, let alone fifty people. , even if there are thousands or tens of thousands of large armies, it is difficult to say that they will win.
The little hope that had been slightly raised upon hearing that there was support was simply extinguished by reality. The morale that had been maintained with numbness suddenly plummeted, and the attack speed of the entire fortress dropped at a frequency visible to the naked eye.
Warcraft don't care about the enemy's morale. They have been extremely irritable because of the dragon disease. They have only one thought in their hearts, which is to tear the enemy apart and eat their flesh and blood alive.
Some powerful monsters couldn't bear their hunger and thirst. When they couldn't attack the humans on the wall, they simply picked up the corpses of other monsters on the ground and chewed them up. The smelly flesh and blood mixed with purple-black blood splashed from their mouths. When he came out, the purple-blue light in his eyes became more intense due to the intake of more virus scale powder.
"Roar ah ah ah!!"
After swallowing the corpse of a similar species alive, a certain monster, probably a white bear, roared wildly, and the muscles and bones on its body bulged out, making a crackling sound. Its eyes now turned into a deep purple, and every time Each breath was mixed with magic light spots visible to the naked eye. Black mist overflowed from the fur of this wild beast, and then the entire body suddenly swelled, and the snow-white hair was stretched by the violent muscles. Like steel needles, incredible power pulsed throughout his body.
Deep madness!
"call!"
Purple-blue breath mixed with bone-chilling chills gathered like a storm in the mouth of the eight-meter-tall giant bear. Then, a surging beam of light rose, and the strengthened ice breath hit the city wall.
Boom!
The violent explosion cracked a corner of the gray-white city wall, and the broken rock covered with a layer of ice fell down and smashed into the group of wild beasts. Several weaker monsters were crushed to death immediately, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere. Not only were the other monsters not afraid, but they became even more violent because of the smell of blood. They roared and climbed towards the city wall faster than before.
One side lost morale, and the other side became more ferocious, and one was ebbing away from the other. Suddenly, there were frequent emergencies in several places on the city wall. Even in some places where the defense was weak and the inspection team had not arrived in time, some monsters had already climbed up the city wall. , and started fighting with the city guards.
"Damn it, this is not okay!"
Arriving at a speed as fast as the wind, Brandon waved his swords and easily cut into pieces the monsters that climbed up the city wall in front of him. He turned his head and shouted to Veldani and the soldiers guarding the city. Said: "Even if there are no reinforcements, you shouldn't be so desperate. Dany, at least someone is willing to come and help you, and the leading warrior must be at the gold level. Regardless of others, he will definitely be able to break through the beast tide and come to help!" "
"Three gold-level experts will have no problem holding on to this siege at least!"
The Golden Swordsman's voice was specially amplified with fighting spirit and resounded between the city walls and towers. Everyone immediately woke up - even if fifty people were useless, there was at least one strong Golden Swordsman! In any case, it is better than the previous form. There is really no reason for morale to be so low.
"right!"
The countess also understood at this time, and she immediately encouraged her knights and subordinates loudly: "Everyone, at least hold on to this wave of offensive!"
Afterwards, the Golden Mage stopped talking. Her expression was solemn, and she once again raised the gray ironwood staff in her hand, instilling her magic power with all her strength, and stimulating the elemental power in the atmosphere.
Although the surroundings have been infected by the aura of chaos, and the magic power and elements are filthy, how can such a trivial thing hinder the golden-level purple-haired mage from exerting his full strength
Suddenly, the whistling north wind stopped, and the blizzard also stopped. The clouds in the sky were separated layer by layer by some mysterious force, retreating like ripples of water, and the sky with twinkling stars appeared in this sky that had been there for many years. Over the fortress, which had not seen starlight for ten days, the morale of all the soldiers was lifted when faced with such a miraculous scenery.
“…”
Silent, controlling her power with all her strength, Veldani, as a gold-level war mage who wields elements and magic, the magic she knows and creates are all created for the purpose of large-scale war, which means that in While it is extremely powerful, it is also absolutely impossible to use easily.
The countess knew that after using her own strength to activate her most powerful spell, she would definitely fall into a long period of weakness and even fall into a coma. Without anyone to protect her, she would be a huge drag, so in the first few times During the siege, no matter how critical the situation was, she did not use her strongest spell.
But now, Brandon is by her side, and the situation has indeed reached its most dangerous moment
so…
"Witness the power of the stars!"
[Power of Glory·Star Arc Shattered]
With a command, countless rays of light suddenly started falling from the twinkling stars like rain!
Suddenly, countless explosions and flashes appeared at the beast tide in front of the city wall. The shock wave visible to the naked eye was like a stone being dropped into the calm lake water, with clearly visible ripples appearing. The purple-black smoke was immediately washed away by the strong light and high heat. Scattered, and accompanied by the scorching wind and the smell of barbecue, the dense herd of animals suffered heavy casualties.
Veldani's power of glory [Star Arc Shatter] can link the reflections of the stars in the sky, use the endless starlight as the origin to condense a magic barrage at almost the speed of light, and deal a huge blow to enemies in a wide range.
"here you go!"
It seemed that this was the first time for the blond swordsman to see his lover launch such a powerful spell. As he was slashing the monster in front, he immediately noticed that the monster's attack was lightened and the pressure on the city wall was greatly reduced.
But then, in front of his horrified gaze, the purple-haired mage clutched the gray staff in his hand and slowly fell down.
"Dani!"
Immediately rushed to Verdani's side, hugged her and raised her head. Brandon frowned. He covered the female mage's head with his hand, felt it for a while, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's just a transition. Fatigue and coma, nothing serious..."
But now was not the time to rejoice. He immediately turned around anxiously and looked at the beast tide.
Although at least thousands of wild beasts have been eliminated before, without the large-scale spell suppression and deterrence of the Golden Mage, the flying species in the air will be overwhelming. With the endless tide of beasts coming in the future, the situation may be worse than It was worse before!
This is exactly why the golden warriors cannot take action easily. Sometimes, they can effectively suppress the enemy's attack by staying where they are.
But in fact, after turning back, the Golden Swordsman saw a scene that shocked him so much that he stopped breathing.
The huge gap caused by the broken star arc still existed, but the monsters on the city wall had been cleared away, and the soldiers got a rare opportunity to rest.
The beast tide... has stopped? !
impossible! Brandon's heart was violently shaken. He knew clearly that no matter how powerful the attack was, it would be impossible to scare these irrational monsters infected by chaos. It is impossible for them to be afraid and afraid to step forward. Just as countless alchemical cannons blasted huge holes between them, but they would be filled in a few seconds. Although the holes caused by the obliteration of thousands of monsters were beyond imagination, it did not take ten seconds to fill them up. Can all be replenished.
"Wait, it's not stagnant!"
After all, he is a gold-level swordsman. Brandon is keenly aware of the strange movements of the beast tide: "They are gathering somewhere else!"
Could it be...
Opening his eyes in surprise, the golden swordsman looked up at the distant hills.
That's where the beast tide gathers. In that pitch-black tide of death, a dazzling red light flashed. It is rushing towards the fortress at a speed as fast as the wind!
I woke up late today... my biological clock was completely reversed, and I slept for 14 hours... This time I originally planned to write 2,000 words in one post, but found that it was not coherent, so I just finished writing and posted it together, and that's it now.
I went to sing with my friends, and they sang that love is like a tornado, dimples, swallowtail butterflies, love even after death, vampires, our love, I am here wearing big headphones and gritting my teeth while typing...
