Soul of Burning Steel

At noon, the Black Forest Fortress was clear and clear. Although the streets were still cold and windy, there was no blizzard obstructing people's movement. Soldiers arranged near the walls to organize the supplies needed to defend the city, and most of the civilians who lived in it took advantage of it. This rare sunny day began to clean up the surrounding streets. Several wizards and sorcerers in robes rode horses and ran around. They watched whether the walls and towers were damaged or missing, and noted them one by one, and prepared to start using spells. repair.

Everywhere in the city, all the people who are still alive have their own jobs. They have a calm complexion and are not worried about their current situation. The confidence and customs cultivated through countless wars have made these Northlanders accustomed to the current situation. .

　　 Now is the Kuroshio Siege, the sixth day.

Outside the city, the black forest was filled with purple and black mist. No spell could detect the situation inside. No one knew what happened except for the occasional beast howl. Several silver knights formed a team and went outside the city. At the fallen fortress, I intend to search for some useful supplies and equipment.

In the city, in the center of this black forest fortress, there is a Gothic spire clock tower. It looks very old. The suckers left by the cold leaf creeper are all over its four walls. Only the windows are spared because people often clean it. To be difficult, it stands to reason that except for people coming and going in the clock tower, no one is stationed on weekdays. But now, there are several robe mages coming in and out, all of them frowning and embarrassed. And worries to leave.

　　 Inside the clock tower, the second floor.

　　 A silver knight with a wounded right hand stood in front of a room. He looked at the gray-white wall in front of him with a serious face and was silent.

　　Cracked, the door of the room was opened, and another wizard walked out from it with frowning, looking up, he saw the knight guarding the door, and then couldn't help smiling wryly: "Thank you...Elson."

　　 And this middle-aged knight with gray hair, who seems to be quite young, turned his head to look at the wizard beside him, and asked numbly, "Why, failed again?"

　　"There is no way. The magic of chaos has completely enveloped the surrounding mountains. As long as communication fluctuations spread, they will be quickly rewritten by pollution. The power of the array here is too small to break through.

　　 explained a little bit, the mage was extremely annoyed because of his incompetence. After a few conversations, he shook his head and left the clock tower, leaving only the knight standing straight on the spot, motionless.

　　 The sun moved slowly, and the sunlight shone on him through the window on the side of the clock tower, probably because the weather was too cold. It was the noon sun, but there was no hotness when it came down. On the contrary, some chills came to my heart.

The window here was originally a shooting port for archers. The Black Forest Fortress has not been breached, so it has never been used. However, according to the current situation, it may be designed more than two hundred years ago, but it has never been used. The used shooting port will be used for the first time.

"Ugh…"

With a deep sigh, the gray-haired knight looked around the inside of the bell tower that was no longer dark due to the sun. Elson touched his right hand with a comminuted fracture, and revealed a self-deprecating wry smile: "Even if it's dead, I want to die on the front too... guarding the communication formation, haha."

Not reconciled, but he clearly knew that in the room behind him, there was a communication array capable of connecting the northern lands, although it could not communicate with the St. Laurent’s Cathedral that could connect the entire empire, or even the outer domain. Compared with large-scale formations, that is also a very important key protection object.

However, due to the unknown black and purple fog, the magic of chaos covered the Great Aas Mountains, and the communication array with insufficient power was completely unable to transmit the information. The coming and going mages came to solve this problem. Unfortunately, no matter who is at a loss, this is not something that technology can solve.

In the defensive battle a few days ago, the gray-haired knight was attacked by a flying silver monster. Although with the cooperation of his comrades, he quickly beheaded it, but his right hand still suffered devastating damage. In the inadequate fortress, this means that his combat effectiveness has been greatly weakened. Otherwise, how could a silver knight be sent to guard this clearly useless communication formation?

　　 He must be standing at the forefront of the city wall, guarding against the tide of wild beasts that may attack again at any time, that is his duty.

　　 "Fortunately, there are not many birds in the north. For six days, no matter how many flying monsters are nearby, they should all be dead now."

Following his own thinking, Elson muttered to himself: "Yes, today is the sixth day. No matter how slow the main city's response is, I should have found something wrong, but the snow is so deep that reinforcements will come. I don’t know how many days it will take. At that time, the fortress may have been breached...If the Lord Lord flew by himself, that’s another matter."

Gold-class transcendents can fly freely. Whether they are mages, warriors, warlocks, priests, they can get the protection of the earth and the sky because of their resonance with energy, and they can get the ability to fly freely in the sky and the earth. This is everyone. Know things.

　　 If you fly all the way, it doesn’t take long to get from the main city to the fortress, but that would require a lot of physical strength, and it takes a few days to recover. It’s meaningless to come.

"I want to do so much." Suddenly realizing that his thinking is getting more and more biased, the gray-haired knight couldn't help laughing. He shook his head and looked at his right hand. Although there are not many priests in the fortress, the medical power is not bad. With the help of potions and several general physicians, and with the resilience of a silver warrior, a few days later, he has already gained a certain degree of combat effectiveness: "The big deal is to die in battle..."

Without going on, Elson felt that something was blocking his throat. He turned his head and looked out the window. The stone houses filled the center of this fortress like a small city, and dense towers stood on the walls. , Mages, archers and all kinds of heavy equipment like goblin artillery are placed in it, which can provide the most violent fire support.

Here is the Black Forest Fortress, the gray-white city, and the furthest point of civilization. Countless people with great ideals and beliefs have come to this bitter cold land. UU reading www.uukanshu.com is neighboring the beasts and ice and snow, guarding the human world. Frontier.

This is also the place where he has lived for 19 years. His wife, children and his home are all here. Two of his beloved people choose to live with him as a warrior in the most dangerous front-line fortress and abandon the Lord. The city has an easy life, and faced with such a deep love, the gray-haired knight cannot guarantee their safety.

　　 This is really...

　　 "Zi...Zizi..."

　　 The sudden noise interrupted Elson's emotion.

　　 He turned his head and looked at the room behind him, he couldn't help but was taken aback for a moment, then his brows were frowned, showing a puzzled expression.

　　 "Zi...ZiZ...Unicom..."

　　 "No...Is it?!" Hearing the faint voices from the room, Elson opened the door of the room and walked into it quickly.

This is a not very large room. In the center is a stone platform like a round table. The stone platform has dense silver blue and gold lines. They are made of crystal, and the faint luster flashes, and in these lines At the center of the gathering, there is a small white plane like a mirror.

　　 At this time, this long-silent connection array began to flash light, the plane moved, every rune turned, and the sound came out of it.

　　 "... I am... Lord of... Zi... Davia, Joshua... Zi... Reeve."

　　 Suddenly, the noisy noises were all eliminated in an instant, and a majestic male voice resounded from the white mirror: "The twenty-seventh connection, the target Black Forest Fortress, can you hear my voice?"
