At the extreme end of the world, at the northernmost tip of the Mycroft continent, in the frozen soil of the far north on the edge of the empire, there is a towering mountain peak that reaches straight into the clouds.
It spits hot smoke, releases black mist, and leads the endless flames from the center of the earth, turning it into a flowing golden river, flowing down the ridge. With this boiling mountain as the origin, countless peaks and hills emerge from it, stretching It has become a vast and boundless mountain range, with thousands of years of endless snow falling on it, covering these gray-black mountains with a layer of silvery white.
This mountain was named after the emperor of the empire at that time. Because it was particularly tall, the prefix "big" was added. Therefore, its name was "Grand Ajax Volcano", and the name of the mountain was "Grand Ajax Volcano". mountains].
Next to the golden river of lava, the water generated by melting ice and snow flows down from the top of the extremely cold snow-capped mountains, and converges into an ice-free lake at the bottom of the mountains. An endless river gushes out from it, flowing into the distance. .
The flow of water is the flow of life, and the gathering of water is the gathering of life. Taking this as the starting point, the black forest begins to take root on the snowfield, traces of life begin to appear, and magical beasts multiply here... Relying on [Maggie Bu] Frozen rivers] and the geothermal heat of underground lava, on this frozen soil with no limit to the coldness, there is finally an area suitable for life.
So, I don’t know how many years later, humans came here. They cut down forests, drove away monsters, built cities, forged fortresses, divided territories, and multiplied... They divided four territories with the Great Ajax Mountains as the center, and This is the origin of the [Four Territories of the North].
Today, west of the Great Ajax Mountains, in the Moldova Territory, is the Hessian Fortress.
In the reception room of the central tower, Brandon stared at the man in front of him.
At this time, Yingying went to choose armor, and Veldani went back to her room to rest. There were no enemies around, and the golden swordsman was finally able to take a closer look at this mysterious comrade in his eyes—the new Chaos Watcher. .
Joshua Radcliffe. It’s a difficult name to pronounce, but we often see it. As the guardians of the Order side, the Kaos family naturally pays attention to their kindred spirits far away in the North. The name Joshua was probably a few years ago in the future of Chaos. He has been seen in the list of watchmen, and recently he often appears at the banquets of the imperial capital's nobles, as the object of everyone's admiration or doubt.
After all, a man riding alone for seventeen days and nights, rushing back to his territory to kill all the usurpers, advancing to the gold level and killing one golden warrior after another, are almost legendary stories, even if they are said to be Even Brandon couldn't help but feel curious - extremely confident in his own strength, he was very curious about how strong this man who had almost become the incarnation of the God of War in rumors was.
However, when he learned that his beloved was in danger and his territory was besieged by a wave of wild beasts, the blond swordsman immediately forgot about it. Knowing the seriousness of the matter, he immediately set off and rushed to Moldova, preparing to take this stubborn The countess left... Unfortunately, she failed. Even if she ran out of ammunition and food, the purple-haired mage was unwilling to give up the territory. Helpless Brandon could not abandon her, and he had no chance to take her away with him... He even He was ready to die in battle with Veldani.
There were no supplies, no ammunition, no morale, no physical strength, and of course no reinforcements. It was really despairing, and I had really overestimated my ability and determination.
Just when he was laughing at himself, a red light suddenly appeared in the distance.
Smoke and dust rose up, and as the red light drifted away, a few knights, led by a black-armored warrior, appeared from the distant sky. They climbed over the mountains and hills and arrived at the battlefield. The swordsman could see , the flag above this array is a sword-holding hand with a black background and gold rim. It is the flag of the Radcliffe family, the owners of the Moldavia Territory.
Reinforcements
But the number of people is too small...
Shaking his head, Brandon's initial hope was suddenly extinguished. He shook his head and sighed.
However, is the black-armored warrior leading the team the Joshua whom he already knows well? He actually dared to bring such a few soldiers to support him. I don't know whether to call him reckless or brave, reckless or confident.
Is he really as strong as rumored
Just when this question arose in my mind, reality answered it.
have.
The beast tide in the distance was broken through layer by layer by this group of knights who were not favored by everyone. The rapid collision caused a bloody storm and stirred up countless chaos. Even though Veldani's glorious power [Star Arc Shatter] dispersed it. Part of the beast horde, but to be able to maintain such speed and impact among the beasts is simply too much and too powerful.
Incredible, incomparable, not like a mortal army, but like something from...
Unable to find the right adjective, Brandon took a deep breath.
All credit must undoubtedly go to the warriors who have been at the forefront, serving as the collision angle and focal point of the array.
The seemingly reckless action actually used all the strength in the body. He did not waste any extra strength when attacking. He broke through the beast tide and killed the beasts as smoothly as eating and drinking. He was obviously only at the beginning of the gold level, but he did it. When it comes to things that most high-level gold people cannot do, if such a person is not strong enough, then there are not many strong people in the world.
People with this kind of technology and power are by no means reckless and unable to think of strategies. It is not that they will not be unwilling, but because they are confident in their own power and do not need to think.
"It seems that, Joshua, you have perfectly inherited the power of order from the Radcliffe family."
With a sigh, Brandon broke the silence between the two caused by the departure of Firefly and Veldani. He smiled and said: "Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you for saving Danni's life."
"Why do you say that?"
Because the clothes were too tight, Joshua, who felt a little unfamiliar, raised his eyebrows slightly. He said with some doubts: "If we are talking about assistance, this is what we should do. There is no need to thank you. What's more, the earl himself has said it before. .”
"No, if it weren't for your arrival, facing such a desperate beast tide, Dany would definitely ignore her body, use magic potion to suppress the mental backlash, and forcefully perform great magic... I know her, and I know she will do this. That’s why I thank you for coming and preventing me from losing her.”
Shaking his head, Brandon sighed softly: "I know you have many questions you want to ask. The old earl died too early, so you can't get a complete inheritance... I can answer your questions, just ask."
"In that case, I won't be polite."
He liked the direct attitude of the blond swordsman, and there was no countess present to ask questions at will. Joshua pondered for a while and said: "Where did the Azure Orb come from? Why did my family accept to become the Chaos Watcher? His mission? What is the nature of the Aragami? Behind the time and space channel... "
"stop!"
The exit interrupted Joshua's continuous questions, and Brandon smiled bitterly: "Come one by one, how do you answer this question?"
"Then the innate blue orb."
Joshua knew something about other things, but he knew almost nothing about this mysterious origin of the strange object.
The blond swordsman thought for a while and then answered, his expression a little subtle: "It seems that the old earl passed away without telling you anything during his lifetime... In fact, the Azure Orb has no origin, it never came from It has been in the hands of your family from the beginning, as a testament to being passed down from generation to generation and the head of the family.”
There will be another update and a side story later!
