Soul of Burning Steel

The red light shone like a star, and the depressing dark clouds overhead were cut apart in an instant.

Bathed in the starry sky and moonlight, the weather-stained knights steered their horses and rearranged at the highest point of the hill.

They pulled the reins, stopped slowly, and panted lightly with their horses. The white mist slowly drifted, and then was torn apart by the cold wind and dissipated into the air.

The bright silver armor is covered with frost and snow, and the traces of the wind blowing are everywhere, but the knights are not tired. Although they have been running for several days, it is reasonable to say that they should have been extremely tired, but the silver knight is no longer an ordinary creature. , this level of physical exertion is still within the load range.

Looking around, the hills are covered with frost, and the old trees that have lost all their dead leaves are carrying snow, standing on the side together with the gray rocks.

The knights followed the team and walked forward slowly. They looked down from the edge, and what they saw was a tumbling blackness.

The smell of beast blood and savage wildness filled the atmosphere, and accompanied by the roar that shook the mountains in the distance, the endless tide of wild beasts invaded from the boundless Hesse, rushing unstoppably like the raging waves of the Black Sea.

Is this the enemy we will face?

Without the slightest fear in their hearts, the knights looked at the man standing in the front.

The man who rode a black war horse, pierced the sky with his spear, and stood under the banner.

Joshua.

Joshua Radcliffe stood at the top of the hill, in front of everyone, staring silently at the raging beast tide below.

The purple-black mist is mixed with the churning dust, and gradually rises with the running of countless monsters. The army of thousands of beasts is like the pitch-black sky falling, cutting across the sky and the earth, tearing apart the icy atmosphere. , even blizzards and strong winds can't stop the shelter.

Faced with such an army of countless violent and twisted monsters, even the bravest will hesitate.

But for fighters, this is not the case.

fear?

It's more like looking forward to it.

There is nothing better than now, and the joy of the battle that is about to come needs no concealment.

Like a hungry wolf greedy for blood and raw meat, the man who simply longed for a hearty fight seemed to have found what he had always wanted.

Wearing black armor, the black-haired, red-eyed warrior held a silver-white giant sword in his right hand, and a second steel lance in his left hand. The biting cold wind blowing against his face made the black cloak flutter. , Facing the galloping beasts, his eyes seemed to be burning, and he laughed silently.

This is my era.

"Knights, listen!"

A sound as if the clanging of iron and steel sounded at the front of the line, Joshua laughed wildly and gave an order——

"Follow me—charge!"

"charge!"

--fortress.

"Reinforcements? What's the situation?"

Except for Archer and Brandon, many people also noticed the red light flashing in the distance and the steel spear that hit the center of the beast tide, but more soldiers who focused on blocking the beast tide did not notice this, they just The machine attacks repeatedly, harvesting waves of wild beasts.

Verdani was concentrating on dealing with the large number of flying species attacking from the sky before, and she didn't notice the abnormal situation on the ground before, but when she heard the word reinforcements, she couldn't help but turn her head back, and looked at the still flying species with doubts. Looking at the archer in the distance through the binoculars, he asked, "Is there really reinforcements?"

The purple-haired female mage has been waiting for the arrival of reinforcements since she sent a request for help a few days ago, but in the day after day of disappointment, she almost gave up.

Thinking about it carefully, the Countess showed a wry smile, which was full of bitterness and self-deprecation. Who would travel thousands of miles just to support an opponent who did not usually communicate, and even had a possible competition? As for how much of a threat the scattered beasts would pose to the entire Northland after breaking through the fortress, how could those people understand without having experienced it firsthand.

"No, Dany, there are indeed reinforcements."

A sword cut off the heads of several monsters who were climbing the wall. The golden swordsman Brandon turned around and said to his lover seriously: "I saw it. Just now, someone in the distance broke out and threw a lance across the distance. It hit the center of the beast horde at a distance of a thousand meters, causing terrible damage, but you didn't see it because the beast horde replenished too fast."

"Yeah?"

The countess naturally believed him. If there was anyone in this world who would not deceive herself, then only this blond swordsman, Verdani cast a powerful eagle eye spell on herself, and looked at Bran Deng points to the distance.

In the field of vision, the flag of the Radcliffe family with a black background and gold border fluttered against the strong wind, and the coat of arms of the hand holding the sword was so obvious.

The knights riding dragon blood horses followed the flags and arranged their formation on the hill. The leader was a tall warrior in black full armor, holding a giant sword and a long spear. He was burning with the fighting spirit unique to gold rank warriors. ring.

Indeed, there are reinforcements.

But she couldn't help but sighed in disappointment: "Only fifty people?!"

Fifty people?

Hearing his lord's emotion, some patrol soldiers who were fighting nearby couldn't help showing complicated and unspeakable expressions, and then these rough men simply cursed: "Fifty people, such a small amount of reinforcements are useless! "

"What do they think it is? Children playing house?"

"This **** is a huge beast tide of 200,000, 50 of them disappeared in an instant! If we hadn't been protected by the city wall, we would have been gnawed to pieces!"

A certain soldier stabbed a wolf-shaped wild beast from the edge of the city wall with a single shot. He wiped the cold sweat off his head, looked at the densely packed wild beasts twisting and surging like the sea of ​​hell, and said loudly: "Don't talk nonsense, look, even the city gate is blocked by the corpses of these monsters. Even if they can break through the beast tide, we can't open the city gate to let them in!"

What he said is not wrong at all. The wild beasts left thousands of corpses at the bottom of the city wall. Given their huge size, if it were a small city wall more than ten meters high, the corpses would have piled up a slope, and then other monsters Can easily hit the city wall. Even if the super-large city wall formed by hollowing out stone mountains like the Moldova fortress would not be submerged so quickly, the city gate has long been firmly blocked by corpses.

"It's useless, so few people, even if they come, it's useless."

Sighing deeply, the city guards who heard the news once again realized the seriousness of the matter. In the face of such a large-scale Kuroshio attack, even reinforcements are useless, let alone fifty people. , Even if there are thousands or tens of thousands of large armies, it is difficult to say that they will win.

The slight hope that had been ignited by hearing that there was support was simply extinguished by the reality. The morale that was finally maintained by numbness suddenly plummeted, and the attack speed of the entire fortress decreased at a frequency visible to the naked eye.

The monsters don't care about the morale of the enemy. They have only one thought in their hearts because of the mad dragon disease, and that is to tear the enemy apart and eat the flesh.

Some powerful monsters couldn't bear the hunger and thirst. When they couldn't attack the humans on the city wall, they simply picked up the corpses of other monsters on the ground and chewed them. The smelly flesh mixed with purple-black blood splashed from their mouths. Then, the purple-blue light in the eyes became more vigorous because of the ingestion of more virus scale powder.

"Roar ah ah ah ah!!"

After swallowing a corpse of the same kind alive, a monster whose prototype was probably a white bear let out a roar, and the muscles and bones all over its body exploded, making a crackling sound, and its eyes turned a deep purple now, every time Every breath is mixed with magic light spots visible to the naked eye. Black mist overflows from the fur of this wild beast, and then the whole body suddenly swells up, and the snow-white hair is supported by violent tendons and muscles. Like a steel needle, incredible power pulsates all over his body.

Deep madness!

"call!"

The purple-blue breath was mixed with a bone-chilling chill, gathering like a storm in the mouth of the eight-meter-high giant bear. Then, a turbulent beam of light surged, and the strengthened ice breath hit the city wall.

Boom!

The violent explosion cracked a corner of the gray-white city wall, and the crushed rock covered with a layer of hard ice fell, smashing into the wild beasts, crushing several weaker monsters to death immediately, and flying flesh and blood. Not only were the other monsters not afraid, but they became more violent because of the smell of blood. They hissed and roared, and climbed towards the city wall at a faster speed than before.

One side lost morale, while the other side became more ferocious. One ebb and flow, several places on the city wall were in emergency, and even in some places where the defense was weak and the inspection team had no time to arrive, some monsters had already climbed up the city wall , Fighting with the City Guards.

"Damn it, that's not okay!"

Arriving at the speed of a gust of wind, Brandon brandished his double swords, and easily cut the monsters climbing up the city wall into pieces. He turned his head and shouted at Verdani and the soldiers defending the city. Said: "Even if there is no reinforcements, you shouldn't be so desperate, Dani, at least someone is willing to come to help you, and the soldier in the lead must have a gold-level level, regardless of others, he will definitely be able to break through the beast tide and come to help! "

"Three gold-ranked powerhouses, at least they will have no problem defending this siege!"

The golden swordsman's voice was specially amplified with grudge, resounding between the city wall and the tower, and immediately made everyone wake up - even if fifty people are useless, there is at least one strong gold man! Anyway, it's better than the previous form, it's really unreasonable that morale is so low.

"right!"

The countess also understood at this time, and she immediately encouraged her knights and subordinates loudly: "Everyone, at least hold on to this wave of offensive!"

Afterwards, the golden mage didn't say much anymore, with a dignified expression, she once again raised the gray iron-wood staff in her hand, instilling her own magic power with all her strength, arousing the elemental power in the atmosphere.

Although the surroundings have been infected by the breath of chaos, the magic power and elements are filthy, but how can such a trivial matter hinder the purple-haired mage's gold-level full exertion?

Immediately, the howling north wind stopped, and the blizzard also stagnated. The dark clouds in the sky were separated layer by layer by some mysterious force, and receded like ripples in water. Facing such a miraculous sight above the fortress that hadn't seen a star in ten days, the morale of all the soldiers was boosted.

"..."

Silent, fully controlling her own power, Verdani is a gold-ranked war mage who uses elements and magic power. The magic she knows and creates is all for the purpose of large-scale war. While it is powerful, it is absolutely impossible to use it easily.

The countess knew that after using her own strength to launch her most powerful spell, she would definitely fall into a long period of weakness, and even fall into a coma. If no one protected her, she would be a big drag, so in the first few times Siege, no matter how critical the situation was, she did not use her strongest spell.

But now, Brandon is by her side, and the situation has indeed reached the most dangerous time

so……

"Witness the power of the stars!"

[Power of Glory Star Arc Broken]

With a shout, countless rays of light immediately fell from the twinkling stars like rain!

Immediately, countless explosions and flashes appeared at the beast tide in front of the city wall, and the shock wave visible to the naked eye was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, with clearly visible ripples, and the purple-black smoke was immediately blasted by strong light and high heat. Scattered, and accompanied by the scorching gale and the smell of barbecue, the dense herd suffered heavy casualties.

The power of Verdani's glory [Star Arc Broken] can link the reflections of the stars in the sky. With the endless starlight as the origin, it can condense a magical barrage near the speed of light, and deal a huge blow to enemies in a wide range.

"here you go!"

It seemed that the blond swordsman saw his lover cast such a powerful spell for the first time, and he immediately noticed that the attack of the monster was lightened, and the pressure on the city wall was greatly reduced after slaying the monster in front of him.

But then, under his horrified gaze, the purple-haired mage was holding the gray staff tightly in his hand, and slowly fell down.

"Danny!"

Immediately rushed to Verdani's side, hugged her and raised his head. Brandon frowned tightly. He covered the female mage's head with his hands, felt it for a while, and then heaved a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's just a transition Tired and unconscious, nothing serious..."

But now is not the time to rejoice, he immediately turned his head anxiously and looked at the beast tide.

Although at least thousands of wild beasts have been eliminated before, without the large-scale suppression and deterrence of the golden mage, the flying species in the air will be overwhelmed by a large army. Cooperating with the endless beast horde that will come later, the situation may be even worse. It was even worse before!

This is also the reason why gold powerhouses can't easily attack. Sometimes, they can effectively suppress the enemy's attack by staying in place.

But in fact, after turning around, the golden swordsman saw a scene that shocked him so much that he stopped breathing.

The huge gap caused by the shattering of the star arc still exists, but the monsters on the city wall have been cleared away, and the soldiers got a rare opportunity to rest.

The beast tide...has stopped? !

impossible! Brandon's heart shook violently. He knew clearly that no matter how powerful the attack was, it was impossible to frighten these irrational monsters infected by chaos. It is impossible for them to feel afraid and dare not go forward. Just as countless alchemy cannons blast huge holes in them, but they will be filled within a few seconds. Although the holes caused by the obliteration of thousands of monsters are beyond imagination, it doesn't take ten seconds to fill them up. All can be supplemented.

"Wait, it's not standing still!"

After all, he is a gold-level swordsman, and Brandon is keenly aware of the strange movement of the beast tide: "They are gathering in other places!"

Could it be...

Eyes wide open in surprise, the golden swordsman looked up at the hills in the distance.

There, it is the place where the beast tide gathers. In that pitch-black tide of death, a dazzling red light shone. It is rushing towards the fortress at a speed like a gust of wind - rushing!

Woke up late today... The biological clock was completely reversed, and I slept for 14 hours... This time I originally planned to post 2,000 words, but it turned out that it was not coherent.
