After the communication was cut off, Hao Ren didn't realize it all at once. He was stunned for a while before shaking his head: "Damn it, the wifi outside the country is really unreliable... I don't know if Vivian heard the last sentence."
The female knight named Lavinia was still standing in front of him at this time, she blinked after seeing Hao Ren's strange behavior: "Lord Guardian... what's wrong with you?"
Hao Ren quickly straightened his expression, smiled and waved his hands: "It's okay, I just suddenly thought about something from the past... After all, I just 'woke up', and sometimes my memory is confusing. By the way, where did we just talk?"
"Speaking of you going to find your old friend..." Lavinia couldn't help but have a look of doubt on her face when she said this, obviously she didn't believe some of Hao Ren's words, "Do you have any clear questions?" Is it your goal? Although my family doesn’t have much influence in the kingdom, my elder brother has a very wide network and likes to meet some hermits and scholars with a long history, so maybe he can help you.”
Hao Ren was taken aback, and thought that what he was looking for was a husky who just fell here a few days ago. If you can find a group of old pedants to help you out, why don't you find some experts who are good at stewing big bone soup? - At that time, a few pots will be lined up at the gate of the city, but Lili will be able to greet her within a hundred miles... But he can't say this outside, so he just complained in his heart, and he still wants to be polite on the surface : "Then I would like to thank you. If this is the case, I owe you a favor."
After a few polite words, the female knight named Lavinia was called away by her companions, leaving Hao Ren to rub her chin thoughtfully behind.
The sound of iron boots hitting the ground woke him up from his thoughts. Hao Ren looked up and saw the heroic Veronica standing in front of him. Her Royal Highness nodded slightly to him: "Master Guardian, what should we do?" let's go."
After a short rest, the knights not only readjusted their mental state, but also greatly recovered their physical strength. When they went into battle again, all the soldiers seemed full of energy. This time they had no other worries. Under the leadership of Her Royal Highness, the team started to fight at full speed. Go ahead and head towards the northern fortress.
As the saying goes, looking at the mountains and running dead horses is true. Even if the fighting professionals in the world of Kolo are as strong as superhumans, the hilly land between the shadow forest and the northern fortress is still enough to take half a day. However, Hao Ren's mood has become lighter since he has just regained contact with the outside world. He regards this journey as a journey to see the scenery while walking: Although the surrounding world is still distorted and dim, the chaotic world is still far away. The fortress shrouded in light is still a breathtaking spectacle. As he walked side by side with Veronica and Morian, he inquired about the history of this fortress that was established in the 22nd year of the founding of Talos, and the distant mountains gradually became clearer in his vision.
But just when they were about to reach the foot of the fortress, a feeling of palpitations suddenly surged in Hao Ren's heart. He immediately stopped and looked in the direction of the fortress. In front of the eyes, the ancient rune protection and eagle reliefs on the city wall are clearly visible. On the top of the thirty-three magic watchtowers in front of the fortress, the Talos eagle battle flag with a gold-rimmed blue background is hunting and flying.
Veronica reacted a step behind, the princess with royal blood frowned, she felt that the breath of chaos was close at hand, this evil force that was against order stimulated her blood, and made her feel a wave of pain. shock.
Her Royal Highness waved her hand and made a warning gesture. The knights immediately lowered their bodies, and under the cover of nearby rocks, the team climbed to the top of a small hill. Hao Ren lay beside Veronica, looking out.
He saw a wasteland covered with gray-white gravel stretching out under the hills, all the way to the towering white stone city wall of the western fortress in the distance, and on the wasteland, a piece of gray-black "sludge" was rushing towards the city wall in waves.
That is not sludge, but a monster bred in chaos.
Monster siege!
On this side of the shadow forest, chaos no longer appears in the form of mist, but is carried by gray-white gravel and gravel all over the land. I saw black smoke continuously spewing out from the desolate land where not a single blade of grass grew. After leaving the ground, the black smoke would spin and condense rapidly, turning into hideous and terrifying monsters in a few seconds. Thousands of monsters condensed from the black smoke rushed towards the western fortress in a disorderly manner, as if the waves were crashing on the embankment. Looking from the hills, they are thick and muddy like mud covering the ground—Hao Ren couldn't help but think of the Kuroshio tide he saw not long ago in Hercules' sealed cage, and the monster tide in front of him now It was even better than the "Kuroshio" that day.
Because there is no Hercules here to restrain the scale of the monster tide, these pure monsters bred from chaos are more ferocious, more ruthless, and more endless!
The white city wall of the western fortress stands in the light of order. Various protective runes shine on the towering walls. The runes restrain the divine power of the light of order, forming a translucent energy shield on the city wall. Chaos monsters kept hitting those shields like moths to a flame—they tore with sharp claws, gnawed with fangs, bombarded with various primitive and violent dark magic, and finally smashed to death on the light wall. The whole body turned into a dark fireball in the grand martyrdom. Countless such explosions exploded non-stop on every line of defense of the city wall, and the shock waves generated even shook the solid part of the fortress city wall: the tens of thousands of high white stone walls were trembling in the explosion, and the gravel and gravel were constantly falling from the boulders. The gaps burst out, and from a distance, it seemed that the outer wall of the fortress was emitting smoke.
This is the most thrilling event in the Kolo world: the evil forces dormant in the chaos rise up and shake the barriers of the orderly world directly!
In the past seven years, and in every chaotic tide in Kolo World in the past one hundred centuries, this kind of battle has been repeated countless times. Although Symmetra can block the penetration of chaotic power, chaotic power also has Their own attack method, the monsters born from the distorted laws are the cannon fodder and vanguard of this war: every once in a while they will attack the world of order mightily, if they break through a barrier, then the people of the land of order The frontier will recede, and the space for mortals to live will once again shrink.
According to Veronica, humans and elves have lost more than 40% of their land in Ansu Continent alone—the once fertile barren wilderness, the peaceful and quiet shadow forest, the dark swamp with rich water and grass, and the beautiful scenery The gray and white sea... With the extinguishment of the towers of furnace fire and firewood, and even the towers of the sun, the barriers were shattered, the defense line retreated, and the mortal race traded space for time, and these originally peaceful and peaceful lands became one after another. Breaking through the death penalty zone in the chaos, what caused all this was the scene in front of him.
Chaos strikes.
Veronica clenched the long sword in her hand, and gestured to the knights with the other hand to get everyone ready to fight.
On the front line of the chaos attack, the power of order will be weakened, and the dark side of the Sea of Karnos will be active to the point where it can be materialized at any time. Even if the knights hide outside the battlefield, they will sooner or later be discovered by the ubiquitous evil forces. So fighting is inevitable.
On the front line of chaos, cowardice and evasion are meaningless. Whether you have the courage to draw your sword or not, fighting is the only ending.
The knights unsheathed their long swords, and the power of magic began to stir in the air. The runes on the royal armor lit up one after another, reflecting the determined faces of the young people.
In Keluo, every tide of chaos is actually a process of mortal races constantly retreating and dying. The dark side of Karnos erupts from every corner of the continent, and then devours everything along the way. Although mortal races are always fighting bravely, However, just by looking at the surrounding wasteland, even Hao Ren, an outsider, can see the situation of the war: the power of order is constantly shrinking, and the mortal race is just resisting with flesh and blood and layers of barriers. Hard grinding, all they do is procrastinate.
Before there is no way to retreat, drag until the chaos dissipates, drag until the sea of Karnos subsides.
No one thinks there is anything wrong with this. Their ancestors have survived this way for generations. If they have to complain, they probably just complain about why they happen to be the generation of Chaos Explosion—far less lucky than those who lived in the peaceful years .
"Are you going to use these people to help out?" Hao Ren turned his head and glanced at Veronica.
The knight princess pointed at the battlefield with her long sword: "Rush down the ramp on the left and hit the monster's flanks. If you can temporarily block the condensation of the chaotic breath with your powerful explosion magic, we can open a gap. I will Send a signal to the fortress, as long as the defenders of the fortress still have the most basic military literacy, this cooperation will be successful, we will rush into the safe zone, and the flow of chaos forces will also be disrupted."
Hao Ren didn't quite understand what "the flow of chaos power" meant, but he believed that Veronica was an expert in this field, so he agreed to the plan, but he was still a little curious: "You really aren't afraid at all. "
"Cowards have almost died in the past seven years," Veronica smiled sassyly, raising her long sword, "The barrier will eventually collapse, but not today!"
The knights roared in unison: "The barrier will eventually collapse, but not today!" (to be continued~^~)
