Several ice sculptures sit or lie in the snow. Men and women have the same stiff and hollow look on their faces. Their eyes are almost frozen to the sky, and there is no life inside. Freya passed these ice sculptures with some sadness and silently stroked their cold eyelids with her hand.
As the scout said before, neither Jade nor Anika had any obvious wounds on their bodies. Their skins were gray and white, and they had lost their moisture and shrunk together. They were covered with the body of the warhorse who was kneeling down. The ice and snow, on the surface, look like those who were frozen to death in the snow, but five or six people can be frozen to death by such a coincidence, not to mention that Enika and Jade are both junior golden warriors, this This low temperature should have no effect on them at all.
Freya noticed the empty eyes of Jade and Anika. In her memory, there was a way of death with such a similar look, that is, the temperature was taken away by the ghost; when she thought of this, she suddenly remembered the escape from Ridenburg That night, the scene where Brando used the white stag to lead them.
Under the dark night, majestic creatures emitting glowing white light made their way through the woods, but what she remembered most was those who died in the hands of the ghosts, pale and sweating, and also such a hollow look, as if she had lost her soul. generally.
Freya raised her head, and raised her head somewhat vigilantly. She and the team were already in a silver-gray wood. The howling snow wind passed through the bare branches, and those who made strange noises, like monsters whizzing among the woods.
"It's a ghost. The spirits in the forest will absorb human souls. This forest must be their place. We have to get out of here as soon as possible." Among Cruz's knights, a dark-skinned young man said nervously, "I was a kid. I often hear old people talking about their legends. No one can kill them. Once we get entangled in them, we are dead."
"Enough, Rollo, you are a warrior of the golden rank, and all the ghosts and ghosts are not many of your opponents. If they come, we will avenge Emerald and Anika!" The knight named Alea somewhat He replied impatiently. He turned his head, looked at Freya, and asked, "Miss Freya, do you think there may be ghosts in this forest?" The commander'Your Excellency' in his mouth was also promoted to become It was'Miss Freya', because Freya's decision won the trust of everyone in the Cruz presence-and trust is the basis of cooperation.
"Ainika is about the same as you, they died without warning, what can you do?" Rollo asked, staring at him with no mercy.
"So we should clip our tails and run away? That's enough, don't talk about Anika, it will only make me angry, Rollo, don't make me look down on you!" Alaya replied very angrily.
"Alea, shut up, is this your attitude to your companions?" Little Pello finally couldn't help it. He pulled the soft squirrel-skin hood, scolded, and then turned back and said to Rollo. : "Rolo, the knight folds the sword and swears, and will never leave his companions. I will assume that I have not heard what you said before, but don't let you hear it a second time."
The dark-skinned young man seemed to be a little afraid of him. He was warned, but he didn't dare to retort, so he could only stare here silently. Alea also snorted and turned his head back. He held the sword and looked at the direction of the forest. Although he didn't believe Rollo's words, he at least increased his vigilance.
Little Pello turned her head and looked at Freya and asked, "Miss Freya, what do you think? Rollo said at least one thing right. Anika and the others died without warning, even if it was a sneak attack. It’s too peaceful. Anika is a senior scout, not inferior to me."
Freya frowned. The corpses of Anika, Jade and others did not look like they had experienced a fight before they were alive. They seemed to be walking and suddenly falling dead here, but they were four golden-ranked fighters. . She looked in that direction and suddenly noticed a subtle detail:
"Senior sister, have you noticed their gaze?"
"Huh?" Nimesis raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Ainika and the others should have looked forward, that is the forest, there may be something in the forest that attracted their attention." Freya replied.
"What did they find in the forest?" Alea asked.
"It certainly won't be the attacker. If the attacker came from the forest, it is impossible for Anika and the others to react at all." Little Pello replied.
The others glanced at each other, and they couldn't think of something in the forest that would make Anika and others relax their vigilance. You should know that Enika and Jade are professional scouts in the Knights of Folding Swords. They are the best nightingales and soldiers among the soldiers. They will never relax their vigilance easily.
The wind and snow seemed to have subsided for a while, and everyone felt a strange silence. They couldn't help looking at the silver-gray forest, and suddenly felt a little creepy.
"Did you hear anything?" someone suddenly asked. The man was wearing leather armor and a dark brown robe underneath. He was the only priest who accompanied the army among the Cruz Knights.
"What's the matter?" Alea asked inexplicably.
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, there is a sound in the wind
Everyone closed their mouths, and there was a low but sharp voice in the wind, which sounded like a whistle. From far to near, the sound suddenly flew up from above the forest with a clutter, everyone subconsciously held the hilt and raised their heads, and then they saw a very spectacular scene:
A piece of gray, crystal-carved birds flew up from the tree canopy, and flew into the sky densely. The crystal clear bodies of these birds reflected the blue reflections of the great tide of the sky in mid-air, flashing into one piece, and they were in the wind. The wings fluttered high in the snow, and a clear chirping sound was made, and it passed over everyone's heads in a blink of an eye.
Everyone present was stunned. They had no idea that this seemingly insignificant place could hide so many such beautiful creatures. "It's the crystal swan, my God, these are elemental creatures that are rare in the mountain where the storm ceases, so many! Shiduo will definitely go crazy seeing them!" a knight suddenly cried.
This was indeed a spectacle, but the reactions of Pello and Nimesis were much more direct. The two drew their swords directly, reminding others and shouting: "Be careful, there is something in the forest!"
More than a dozen Cruz knights suddenly shuddered.
After the crystal swan, there really came the sound of creaking trees falling down in the forest. Obviously, the previous crystal swans were all startled by these things behind. Everyone stared at the forest with wide eyes, trying to see exactly what attacked Anika's group before.
But soon, they held their breath.
A huge black shadow gradually appeared behind Fengxue, and the black shadow gradually moved forward and became clear.
Then they saw a wolf, a giant wolf that was as tall as a mountain and whose silver mane was fluttering fiercely in the wind and snow. Its ears were pointed and long, somewhat different from ordinary winter wolves, but with golden eyes. , Inside is conceived with a wise and cold light.
It looked at everyone condescendingly, the forest was like a meadow at its feet, and the Cruz knights present were ants in the grass.
"This... This is..." Little Pello looked up at this scene dumbfounded.
"The wolf Esis..." Nimesis couldn't help but change her face: "Impossible, it shouldn't be sealed in..."
She suddenly realized something, and subconsciously shut her mouth. "What to do?" Everyone subconsciously cast their eyes on Freya, their only commander. But at this time everyone discovered something weird.
Freya is gone.
It seems to disappear out of thin air.
Nimesis' heart suddenly sank.
But at this moment everyone did not understand. In fact, Freya was standing where she was, and she was even more surprised than everyone present—
Because what she saw was very different from others.
At the moment of the wind, Freya first heard the howling of wolves one after another in the forest. There were no crystal swans and no wolf Esis. She only saw many pale eyes suddenly appeared in the darkness. , Those eyes gradually walked out of the shadow of the gray woodland, and then formed a giant snow-white wolf with fur.
Freya did not recognize these strange wolf-shaped creatures, but Brando might be able to call out their names here:
The pale son.
One of the most favored twilight populations of the head wolf Esis, it is said that they run on the snowy field and bring storms wherever they pass. But their head wolf Le Perse died in the fiery hands of the sky dragon, and they also fell in the battle with Milos, the king of frost giants.
Freya's eyes shrank, and she immediately drew her long sword. But it was at this time that she discovered something weird. The future Valkyrie found the Cruz knights around her—Little Pello, Alea, Rollo and even Nimesis. A dumb look stood on his horse, as if he hadn't noticed the surrounding scene at all.
Freya was taken aback in an instant, and the death of Anika and Jade suddenly appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help being shocked in a cold sweat.
"Senior Nimesis!?" She hurriedly pushed Nimesis, who was in a trance next to her, and the latter shook slightly, as if she had just awakened from a dream.
She first saw Freya, she was slightly startled, then frowned and asked with some confusion: "Fryya, where have you been? Run, little Pello and they are dead, I will help you block Esis …"
"Wait, what are you talking about! Everyone is alive!" Freya hurriedly interrupted her: "We are already surrounded, we are ready to fight, Senior Sister Nimésis!"
"Fighting?" Nimesis was taken aback, and then she noticed the sights around her. She was stunned and couldn't help blurting out: "Pale sons? How could they be? Esis?"
As soon as she finished speaking, it was at this moment that there was a scream in the forest.
"The goddess of war! This is impossible! Why is there still the blood of the goddess of war in this era!" The voice was so sharp that it did not resemble any kind of intelligent creature on the continent of Vonde, as if two files were interlaced together. Metal noise.
Freya and Nimesse were taken aback, and subconsciously looked in that direction. They immediately saw a silver figure over there.
That thing looks a bit human, because it has four limbs, two feet on the ground, long hands, down to the knees, covered with silvery white skin, but the scary thing is that it has no eyes, nose, and ears. There is only a black hole on a smooth face that can be called a mouth.
And beside that human-like inhuman monster, stood an old acquaintance of Freya and Nimesis.
"Marquis Youxi!?" Freya looked at the man in disbelief and asked, "Aren't you dead?"
Marquis Youxi smiled slightly: "How can I die easily before giving my life to the true god, Freya, you and your lord should have already arrived. In fact, we have been waiting for him here for a long time."
Freya snorted in her heart.
