Soul of Burning Steel

　　 Great Aes Mountains, the northernmost in the world.

　　 In the deep blue sky, the sun will set, and some clouds are stirring in the sky, slowly rotating like a whirlpool. In the desolate twilight, the afterglow of the evening light shines on it, covering it with a golden red glow.

Under the sky, there are endless mountains, and a gray-white fortress stands in the center of endless snow and forest. The front is Hessian and the back is snowfield. It is located in the gap of the mountain, blocking the direction of the black forest. The road spreading outside, the city wall as tall as a mountain looks so stalwart, as indestructible as the hardest rock.

This is a bitter cold land, the snow-capped mountains without a trace, and the black forest frozen by frost constitute all of it. In this world where almost no one is involved, there is no impurity in the pure air, even if it is just breathing. , I also feel refreshed in my lungs.

　　 used to be like this.

　　 Kuroshio siege, the fifth day.

　　 Slowly walked to the top of the fortress tower. The blood-stained blond knight stood aside the shield in his hand. Standing at the end of the city wall, he looked depressed toward the black forest not far away.

The black and purple dust is permeated, and the chaotic breath obscures everything like mist, and even rises to the sky. The light of the setting sun is reflected by these scales, giving birth to a strange and turbid color, where ordinary people can’t breathe and are completely polluted. Under the thick fog, wild beasts were tumbling, and almost endless monsters surged like raging waves.

　　 Therefore, wherever the eyes can reach, there is a tide of beasts.

This is not the first time that the blond knight has fought the Kuroshio on the front line. In fact, he has never left this gray fortress since he was a silver knight at the age of twenty-five. This is his home. Where, he never thought that there would be a day of loss here.

　　 But today, this idea has taken root in the knight's heart, and it has grown bigger and bigger.

　　 "Five thousand..."

He muttered to himself, he felt a smell of iron spreading in his mouth, and with a wry smile, the blond knight spit out a mouthful of blood, and laughed at himself: "Fifty thousand wild beasts...I never thought I could meet so many in my life. ."

The fortress and all kinds of defense lines outside the fortress have been completely lost. It was from there that he evacuated. Although there were not many casualties because of the decisive retreat, it was also because of his rush and decisiveness that the fortress also lost a lot. Supplies and equipment.

To be honest, the blond knight has never been so frustrated. He has faced hundreds of thousands of dark tides. He has also killed several golden beasts with the old lord, but 50,000 wild beasts and ordinary Warcraft is different. This has exceeded the limit that this fortress with more than 2,000 troops and about 30,000 residents can withstand. It is a terrible offensive that can be dealt with by a super fortress of more than 50,000 people. In front of the monsters who don't know how to retreat, if they don't even kill each other occasionally, the external fortress and defense line will not last five days.

　　 But now it has reached its limit. The five satellite fortresses have all been lost, and one-third of the fortress's supplies and a large number of large war machines have been lost.

　　 Now, only the Black Forest Fortress itself is left to face these monsters.

　　 Click.

Footsteps came from behind the knight. After a while, two figures appeared on the steps of the tower. They were a mage in a white robe and a masked warrior. The mage's robes are now covered with dust, and so are the warriors. Covered with wounds and blood, the two of them walked straight to the edge of the tower and looked at each other with the blond knight.

　　 "Shrink our forces, Zorgen, taking advantage of the small loss, we abandon the defense at the side mountains and concentrate our energy on the front to resist the impact of the wild beasts."

After being silent for a while, the mage said to his companion. His expression looked very unwilling, but his voice was unusually firm: "Now there are only some low-level black iron and silver beasts. With the madness ability, we are a little overwhelmed. , If this continues, when the advanced golden monsters appear, we are completely incapable of fighting."

　　 "What about such a big rear?"

The masked warrior muttered. He didn't refute, but simply asked questions: "If we don't intercept the monsters that bypass the fortress from the mountains, what should the manor and small towns in the rear do? They even have the walls. No, there is only a fence made of wood. Do you want them to use this kind of thing to fight against wild beasts?"

　　 "That's just a mere slaughter! The meaning of our existence is to be nailed here as a nail, to prevent any monsters from crossing the gap in the mountains, and to protect the safety of the people in the territory."

　　 At this point, the masked soldier's voice has already brought a trace of anger: "Giving up is something only a coward can do!"

　　 "The problem is not about cowards or cowards."

Faced with the suggestions and anger of the two companions, the golden-haired knight immediately replied. He shook his head and said: "These monsters that are crazy because of the black mist are very different from their previous counterparts. As long as they don't solve the immediate goal, they seem to I will never leave at all. I have observed that those who try to cross the fortress are all monsters that are not crazy, and their strength is relatively weak. It is not worth our efforts to stop, and the manors and towns in the rear basically have silver. The knights were in control, they dealt with it."

Having said that, he turned his head to look at the masked warrior, and said solemnly: "Our duty is to stop most of the Kuroshio. As long as the fortress does not fall, it means that our mission has not failed. If only a few monsters lead to the front Insufficient combat power on the battlefield, and collapse of defense, it is totally outweighed by the gains."

　　 "Then you have to notify at least!"

　　 The masked warrior also knew this, but he was still a little reconciled.

　　 "You have to be able to contact..."

With a deep sigh, Zorgen, the fortress defense chief, couldn't help squeezing his fist: "If this strange black fog could not cover the communication fluctuations, I would have notified the main city and asked Lord Lord to lead the team to support! He is a gold-level powerhouse. With him, as long as there is no golden beast of the same level, the fortress will be as stable as a rock."

Having said this, the blonde knight couldn't help but feel angry: "Feng, the group of wizards under yours said that they would be able to penetrate the black mist shielding in a little time~www.novelmtl.com~ but what about it? It's all five days. Now! Except for the third day, I don’t know why there is a signal from beginning to end.

　　 "No way, no way, you can't solve the problem if you get angry at me, not to mention that the group of wizards under me have been releasing spells in front of the battlefield. Where is the time to study the communication formation!"

The instructor of the fortress mage group, the white-haired energy-shaping mage Feng turned his head to look at the postponement of the offensive, and began to gritted his teeth towards the beast tide retreating towards the Black Forest, and said bitterly: "Look at this momentum, the appearance of Golden Beasts has been in the last few days , The offensive goes on fierce day by day. Without the support of the group of wizards under me, the fortress would be breached without waiting for support."

"Obviously, this time there must be an extremely powerful'lord.' This time the Kuroshio is its army. It drives this group of wild beasts here to break through our nails in the mountains and expand. Own territory."

The masked warrior intervened. After he finished speaking, he was puzzled and said: "It's also strange. The wild beast has not been seen for at least 70 years. The lord has not seen anything. In the past so many years, there hasn't been any movement. Out?"

　　 The blond knight did not answer this question. He just turned his head and looked at the black forest ahead. In the thick black and purple fog, all the wild beasts had returned to the black forest, and the soldiers in the fortress could finally rest for a while.

　　 But what about it, it's nothing more than a trivial breathing time before truly desperate.
