"where is this place… ?"
The flames are crackling, sparks are flying, and the distorted heat waves blur the scene before you, like a street. The narrow street is covered with slabs, and there are two ditches for carriage rut, burning on both sides. It is a two- or three-story masonry structure, but mostly only the frame is left.
From time to time, there are the sound of building collapsed, and the sound of fighting, the screams of people in despair, the sound of pleading and anger, the sky-wide flames reflect the sky red, smoke and dust rise into the sky, forming thick black cloud.
"This is Westminster? Braggs...?"
"Why is this?"
My mind was muddled, as if there were countless voices lingering in it. Those voices seemed to talk loudly, arguing with each other, but also like whispering, chattering, sometimes it was a man, sometimes it was a woman, sometimes it was an old man or a child. .
"Shut up! Shut up for me!"
Teste shook his head and shouted:
All the sounds really stopped.
He saw another scene, a dark and empty world. There seemed to be a solid ground under his feet. A group of people wearing white robes and glowing with fluorescence were walking forward. Those people had neither face nor hair. He seemed involuntarily. Follow them forward.
"Test, Test!"
A ghostly voice called his name through the void.
That voice reminded him of his childhood. In the countryside of Winormar, he was hiding in a stable, separated by a thin wooden wall, and the nurse called his name.
Then the door was pushed open roughly, and he saw the face that often appeared in his dreams that he least wanted to recall. His nominal father, Duke Goran-Elson, the Duke was like a memory. Like in the middle, glaring at him coldly.
That face quickly changed into his brother's contemptuous look.
"I'm going to kill you, Tester."
"Do not-"
Tester yelled in horror, but the voice quickly changed its tone in his mind, as if it had become his first woman—the voice of his maid, the poor woman who died of a disease. In, he thought he didn't have much memory of it.
"Test, Test!"
"No, shut up, you damn ghosts, stay away from me."
He groaned pale | groaned.
He stepped back, the scenery in front of him changed, and the pale human figures disappeared. He saw a vast expanse of plains, black ground, blood-red sky, and the sky-shaking screams poured into him like a tide. In mind.
"what-"
Tester screamed and covered his ears. He stared at the scene in front of him with painful eyes wide-it was a tragic war.
Countless creatures and monsters that he couldn't name were fighting each other on the battlefield.
The fighting side seems to be a human, but he has never seen such a powerful human. They can summon all kinds of weapons and instantly pour out apocalyptic power on the battlefield. They are raining fire on the battlefield. , The monsters died in their hands in pieces.
They created a few bright suns between the sky and the earth. The sun seemed to have absorbed all the surrounding light, making the sky and the earth become pitch black—when they were born, all the monsters around them were in an instant. Vaporized and turned into smoke and dust.
They also dropped a meteorite from above the clouds. The meteorite passed through the thick black cloud, leaving a few golden red lines perpendicular to the ground, and then caused a series of explosions and roars on the battlefield.
But there are still too many monsters—
As if endless.
The burning crystal shards passed through the sky and fell into the human camp, smashing huge pits, and then huge crystal monsters crawled out of the pits, and they could easily kill those powerful humans.
Then there are the insects, the overwhelming insects. Countless insects died before they approached the humans. They disappeared like dust, but they were also pervasive like dust. More insects landed on human positions. Those powerful humans, After a short resistance, he began to retreat.
Test saw the giant wolf, the giant wolf as huge as a hill rushing into the human line, and the retreat of those powerful humans quickly turned into a collapse.
A feeling of despair enveloped his soul.
It seemed that those powerful humans had some kind of blood connection with him. Seeing their defeat, he suddenly understood in his heart that this was the last battle in this world.
They lost.
"no no… "
Tester muttered to himself and knelt on the ground, unable to help covering his face with his hands.
He was horrified to see a piece of silver-white monsters appearing on the horizon. There were not many humanoid monsters, but humans had nothing to do with them. They were like silver lines running through the entire battlefield, and humans fell one by one. Go down.
A silver-white monster landed not far from him, then turned around and looked at him.
Tester's eyes widened, and his whole body twisted with trembling.
"Don't... don't kill me..."
A bright and snow-white blade reflected in his eyes, thrusting it straight into his throat.
"No!" Teste let out a desperate cry, feeling the ice in his throat, everything in front of him quickly twisted, and then merged into the darkness.
…
'Pa wipe. '
'Pa wipe. '
When the snow was squeezed together, it made a toothy sound, and a pair of moccasins with the uppers tightly tied with leather ropes trudged deep and shallowly in the snow near the Xie Na Forest.
Its owner stopped suddenly.
The owner of the shoes is dressed in a hunter's costume that is common in the far eagle fort, thick padded jacket, tightly tied leather pants, deerskin gloves missing two fingers, carrying a bow and quiver, and a bunch of messy things on the belt. There are also two traps hanging. He is about sixty-seven years old. He is only upright and mature at the age of Warend. He has a dark skin. At first glance, he knows that he is an experienced hunter who has been in the wild for a long time.
The man was holding two hunting dogs in his hands. The hunting dogs didn't live on the ground and sniffed their tracks, but the first snow after the late autumn in the Northland interfered with their judgment and made them hesitate.
After a while, one of the hounds raised their head and barked in a direction in the forest.
Lin Shaoshang fell a lot of snow powder.
A team of horses came out through the woods behind the hunter. The senior knight in the lead tightened the reins of the horses and asked, "Did you find anything, Pieris?"
"What's in the forest, my lord."
"Could it be a herd of deer?"
"No, my lord, there is no sign of deer passing by here."
"Maybe it's a rabbit, or some other small animal." said a young knight.
"No, the hounds are very upset. Only bears in the forest can make them feel so upset, but now the bears are hibernating, and you can't see them." Piris replied very positively.
"Perhaps there are one or two guys who are less afraid of the cold, and the snow does not accumulate so much. They have to hurry up and store food."
Duke Schoffman waved his hand: "Believe Piris, he is the best hunter around here, pull out your sword, lads, let's go in and take a look."
"No, sir, let me go in and take a look. I am familiar with this forest. If there is something weird, I will at least have time to report it."
Piris replied in a deep voice.
Duke Schoffman looked at the old hunter and nodded.
The forest soon became quiet, and the young knights seemed a little nervous. There are many ancient legends about this forest. There is a forest of kashi with many old people's faces in the forest. It is said that the person who carved them was once this. The owner of the forest, but these people have long been lost in the depths of the forest, leaving behind all kinds of mysterious stories.
Not only humans, but horses are also a little uneasy. The war horses in the Ten City area come from the ice bay further north. They are hardy horses. They are tall and covered in fur. Wild horses fight with wolves all year round, so they are fierce by nature. Brave and wild.
But these ice bay horses are now squeaking their noses, spraying white mist with temperature from their noses, which condenses around the mouth of the cage. They scratch the ground with their hooves, as if there is something in the forest that makes them feel very nervous.
The knights comforted their companions, but Duke Schoffman had a serious look on his face.
According to the tradition of Yuanyingbao, the forest is frozen after winter. It is said that ancient ancestors will appear in the depths of the forest to patrol in this season, so neither farmers nor hunters will enter the Shana Forest in winter because of that. Will offend the ancient ancestors and attract curses.
If it is not a last resort, as the master of this land in the traditional sense, he is also unwilling to enter the forest at this time.
He has been in charge of Yuanying Fort for sixty-three years. Counting the same long youth time, he has lived here for almost a century. As an old man, he is very clear that these traditions and taboos are inviolable.
But there was a reason for it. A strange incident that happened in the forest two days ago forced him to come here and investigate everything clearly.
Speaking of, this matter should start before the end of the short summer in the Ten City area. That was what happened three months ago-the wild elves came across the sea, landed in the Ten City area, and then all the way east, through most of the north, one of them just arrived at Far Eagle Fort.
Duke Schoffman had already received an order from the temple before that, and he understood that these elves would not stay in his own territory for too long, so he was forced to stay outside the Far Eagle Fort, and it didn’t take long. After about a week, these elves left eastward, and disappeared without a trace after entering the Shana Forest.
To the east of Shana Forest, after crossing the heath hills, the only place to go is the endless glaciers. Before the year of glorious return, the pioneering knights from Faenzan expanded eastward along this road. There he ran into the border of the world of order.
