The misty canyon, like a crack cut by lightning, appeared in front of everyone in the Knights of Broken Sword. This fissure separated the entire glacier, making mortals seem extremely tiny under this masterpiece of nature. When Freya looked up at the fragmented section of the glacier, she felt as small as dust under the feet of a giant.
The long and narrow gap stretches for several miles, forming a winding path between the staggered sloping ice surfaces. Layers of ice, icicles and cones formed on the cliffs on both sides make the entire canyon look like a labyrinth and intricate.
"This is really spectacular!" Brund muttered to himself, and the young knights from Cruz behind him also watched this scene with amazement.
"Where is that deer...?" Faced with the scenery, Alea also had to admit that they had been following the stag that they might have some ways of doing things, but even so, he still couldn't change his hard-talking.
"It's in." Mountain rider Rollo replied affirmatively.
"But I don’t see its shadow right now. Does it want us to go in? It’s not good. There are many traps under these ice walls. It reminds me of the dangerous wilderness valleys in the Sukarras Valley (1) when we were training. As the owner, even if it doesn't stay to lead the way for us, at least it has to say please. Besides, God knows how long this canyon is, what if there is a dead end in it?" Alea asked.
Rollo glanced at him, too lazy to argue with this guy.
In the end, little Pello came out to calm the incident, "Well, Alea is right. Although the Holy Spirit guided us here, we still don’t know what’s in front. I suggest that a scout team be separated from the team. Just as we did when we were training in the winding valleys of Sukarras."
Brender frowned: "But what we were doing was survival training back then, and now there is a pack of Winter Wolves trailing behind us. Wouldn't it be too slow if we split out the scout team and fumbled forward?"
"We can only make this choice. The terrain in the canyon is intricate and like a maze. Those winter wolves wanting to track our traces inside will not be easier than outside." Little Pello shrank under the bearskin coat and shook his head slowly: "Look at what Miss Commander said."
Everyone turned their heads to look at Freya, only to find that the Eruin girl was staring at the glacier for thousands of years in a daze, her gaze drifting away for a long time. She stood there, both listening and looking, as if there was something in the ice talking to her, and she had not recovered until Little Pello called her two or three times.
"Ah, what's the matter?" Freya was startled slightly and looked at the others: "What happened just now? The wolves are catching up?"
"No, no." Brende shook his head: "It's you, Commander, what happened, did you notice anything?"
Freya looked at the faint blue glacier like steel with some doubts. She did find something, but this was not the main reason for her distraction. She always felt that something happened just now, but she went back. It seems that I can't remember it after God came.
She thought for a while, and slowly shook her head: "As for everyone's opinions, I do have an idea. I just don't know what Mr. Pello and Senior Sister Nimesis have any suggestions."
Nimesis looked at her, and little Pello replied directly: "But it doesn't matter, ma'am."
"I want to ambush Marquis Yuxi."
"What!?" Before Little Pello spoke, Brende blurted out in surprise, because in his opinion, this commander lady has always been inconsistent. Although she has some convincing qualities, it is just a matter of fact. Mind, don't say that the think tank recognized by the Knights like Pello, even if it is slightly inferior to him.
In fact, her performance before this also illustrates this point. The command of several battles is like the most standard textbook-that is, you can neither find any bright spots nor faults.
He couldn't imagine why she suddenly came up with such a risky and radical idea. It was not like two things done by one person.
Little Pello also fell silent. This time Nimesis thought about it for a while and spoke. This one graduated from the Eruin Royal Knights Academy with the best grades, and soon became an official knight and was promoted to knight commander. 'S woman asked in a consistent cold tone: "Why do you think so?"
"...Actually, I have always thought about it, Senior Sister Nimésis," Freya's tone softened a bit in the face of this stern predecessor, as if the majesty that had been accumulated after hard work had changed back in an instant. The little girl from the Buche countryside said weakly: "It's just that I haven't found a good opportunity before. The terrain here is very suitable for me. Eruin's infantry tactics code says..."
"Don't worry about it, tell me what you think." Nimesis sighed, and interrupted her with a bit of hatred for iron and steel.
Looking at the conversation between the two, the young people from Cruz couldn’t help laughing. It’s really hard for them to imagine that such a “weak” commander could lead them here, even if they were in the Cruz Empire. The guy also deserves the title of rebelliousness. In addition to being obedient under Veronica, most of the bosses who have governed them will probably put them on the list of headaches. And this It is also what they are proud of and proud of.
But I have to say that sometimes human encounters are very wonderful.
I felt that some of the knights of the Cruz people shrugged their shoulders, and Freya blushed, but she still replied seriously: "Yes, senpai. After all, the winter wolf is a monster. If we find a way to kill and command them That person, then it will be difficult for them to pose a threat to us anymore, and it is impossible for us to flee forever in this icy world."
"How can it be said to be fleeing? We are implementing the established tactics." Alaya hurriedly corrected, but because the movement was too big and the wound was involved, the pain made him grin: "The Knights of Folding Sword will never face. Run away from the enemy, Commander, you have to keep one thing in mind."
"You shut up, the Knights of Broken Swords do not defeat the enemy by bragging." Brende glanced at this guy, then turned around and asked, "But the question is whether we can kill him, Commander. Risky. Obviously that guy will not appear in the front of the wolves. If we can’t make a single blow, we may be surrounded by the wolves.”
"Not to mention..." He hesitated: "What if the silver monster is with him?"
"I said, you kid, how can it be a big thing if you look forward to it," Hearing Brende's objection, Alea immediately sang a counter-tune: "What happens on the battlefield depends on luck. If you can be 100% predictable When it comes to the enemy, what kind of battle is still going to be fought, just ask him to send an envoy to surrender?"
"Haha, maybe that guy will send a wolf to surrender to you, Brende, do you understand wolf language?" the guy asked gleefully.
"It doesn't matter if I can understand wolf language, what's important is that you opposed it and now support it now, Alea, can you Inner people not be like this at both ends?" Brende was finally provoked by this guy. Can afford the real fire, can't help but ridicule coldly.
Alaya didn't care, and replied nonchalantly: "Just now, now is now, just now if you support, I will naturally oppose. Now if you oppose, I will support, what's the matter, do you have any dissatisfaction?"
"No time to be dissatisfied with a guy like you—" Brende was so angry that he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Pello. The little Cruz knight put his hands in the sleeves of the bearskin coat, and at first it seemed as if he hadn’t heard the argument between Brende and Alea, until now he said: “Nothing else is wrong, but the silver monster Have you considered how to deal with it?"
This problem is also a problem that plagues the entire Knights of Folding Swords. If it were just Winter Wolf and Marquis Youxi, I am afraid that they would have turned their heads to make a bloody road.
But the problem is that the ghostly silver monster is really terrifying. In the previous night's battle, it left a deep impression on everyone.
Even the proposed Freya couldn't help being silent when she heard this question.
Is the silver monster present or not, and if so, what should I do
…
"Lucky guy."
When You Xi stood at the crevice of the glacier, looking up at the majestic natural beauty, he couldn't help but sigh. He unconsciously turned the emeralds on the ring snake's ring, just like when he was still in his own castle, he would make some subconscious little movements when thinking, as if it would help him calm down.
It’s just that the cold wind here can’t be connected with his pleasant climate near Ash Mountain, and the owner of the ring no longer needs such small movements to keep calm. The undead’s thinking is as cold as ice. It's just a habitual action.
Before the wolf group found the gap, he couldn't believe that this group of Cruz people could find such an exit so by chance. Who would have thought that this group of Cruz knights could accidentally hit and find the only gap outside the Hibernator's Temple.
Baixia, this should be the name of this place. Before the Cruz people arrived here, he and Anlek spent several days looking for this gap, but in the end nothing was found. They had to go back and pass the Frost Dragon guard. The main entrance.
But he didn't expect to find this place just between chasing and fleeing.
Although the Cruz's escape again made him a little uncomfortable, he was a little surprised when he discovered this shortcut, and even thought it was an unexpected gain.
At this time, several wolves emerged from under the glacier, and they howled for a few times at Marquis Youxi, who quickly understood the meaning of their pets.
The Cruz people really entered the canyon.
"Really bold," You Xi curled his lips. "But forget it, it doesn't matter. You can walk for a while, you can't leave for a lifetime. They will soon understand that you are the only masters on the glacier. I want to see those How far can the lucky guy escape."
Two winter wolves came to him, You Xi stroked their silver manes with cold and dry palms, and sneered: "Let's go, this hunt is far from over."
The Winter Wolf seemed to understand his words and sobbed a few times.
You Xi frowned when he heard his pet's sobbing: "Don't worry about that guy, he is a madman and a lunatic. They are just servants of the Twilight Dragon, with a self-righteous appearance. Don't think that others don't know in ancient times. They have been defeated once, if their clan really blows so hard, how can they be defeated by the Azure Knights? In the end, it doesn't depend on our strength."
"Everything is one. With the brains of those who are full of killing thoughts and only a handful of brute force, they can understand that they are just fighting creatures shaped by chaos."
He patted his pet on the forehead: "Of course, I understand that the little girl may indeed be weird. I have heard her rumors. I suspect that she is the daughter of the earth knight Everton. Oh, the royal party claimed that The rebels are dead, thinking that we don’t know the botched lies they told, but it doesn’t matter. Our first goal is still to kill the Cruz knights. It is a hidden danger to keep them by Veronica's side. The old fellow Lek wasn't happy to comment. As for the little girl, she couldn't escape anyway."
"Go, my pet, chase them so there is nowhere to escape."
You Xi said loudly. He raised his head, but did not realize that behind the layers of ice above his head, among the gaps in the glacier, sharp arrows were placed on the long bow that responded to the string. Moving with the direction he moved.
At this moment, even though Alea, who had been chattering endlessly, held his breath, all the folding sword knights hiding on the ice wall looked nervously at the pack of winter wolves beside You Xi that seemed to be like a torrent of torrents.
The wolves were passing the Lord Marquis into the canyon.
"Fortunately, I stayed." Brende is an orthodox knight. Although he has learned archery, he is not good at it. So at this moment, he is standing behind everyone with a long sword. She wiped a cold sweat: "If you continue to escape, you will be surrounded sooner or later..."
Until this moment, he really looked at Freya with some admiration.
But at this moment, the girl from the Buche countryside frowned deeper than everyone else.
She didn't expect that the number of winter wolves would be so huge.

(1) Sukarras Valley, located in the north of Cruz, is the natural habitat of petrified lizards. It is the existence of the Cruz Empire as a military restricted zone all year round, but contrary to the training grounds speculated by others, this place is actually a source of high-quality crystal minerals. It is just that the empire has been unable to defeat the petrified lizard since it was discovered in the year of thunder. Mine high-quality magic crystals.
