Soul of Burning Steel

Vol 2 Chapter 3: I will be there soon

   Hearing this voice, Elson suddenly felt a fire ignited in his heart, excited, emotional, and pleasantly surprised, but he also knew that it was not the time to be happy now.

   The communication will be lost when I don’t know. Now the situation in the fortress cannot be delayed. The gray-haired knight pressed the pulsation in his chest, he immediately walked to the stone platform, closed his eyes, and contacted the communication formation with spirit.

   "Lord Lord, this is the Black Forest Fortress, Silver Knight Elson."

   "It is connected? It seems that Atanis, this small communication array is not inferior."

Hearing the reply, the voice on the other side of the communication array seemed equally surprised: "Unfortunately, the distance is too short. I have been riding a horse in the snow for two days. Only then has there been sufficient signal... Elson, how is the fortress? ?"

I don’t understand the small communication array and what the signal is, but Elson can know from the scattered information that his lord is not far away from the fortress. In addition to being excited, he wants to save time. , He reported with the fastest speed: "The fortress has lost all the satellite fortresses, and the supply is less than one-third of the time when the warehouse is full. There are nearly 50,000 wild beasts in the Black Forest in front of them, and those are pervading the mountains. The black and purple mist can cut off all detection magic and communication spells, which is why we can’t remind the main city.”

   "How many casualties?"

   Hearing this, the voice on the other side of the communication array suddenly became serious: "Is the situation critical now?"

"The number of casualties is not high. Fifty-three soldiers died when the fortress was breached. One hundred and sixty-seven were injured during the retreat. But yesterday, the wild beast retreated after breaking all the fortresses. As for the fortress itself, there is currently no Under attack, the forty-meter-high city wall is not so easy to break. Now wild beasts may come at any time, and everyone is fully preparing for the battle."

   "The situation is not bad, the loss is acceptable, Elson, is there any leader around you..."

   hum!

There was a low buzzing sound, communication was interrupted, Elson opened his eyes in irritation, he looked around, only to find that the entire clock tower was shaking slightly, and there were traces of rippled white mirrors on the stone platform. This is also confirmed.

"what happened?"

Walking out of the room quickly, the gray-haired knight looked out the window. The snow on the roof of the house began to slip slowly. The trees that had lost all their leaves shook their branches. Many pedestrians on the street stopped, and they watched in surprise. Around, but can't find the reason.

   No one thinks this shaking is an earthquake, because this is the northern part of the empire, the Great Aes Mountains. An active volcano is right in the middle of the mountain range. If an earthquake occurs, it will definitely show signs, rather than the silence like it is now.

   "Squeaking."

In the house, in the tree hole, countless mice, squirrels, and hibernating little beasts were awakened by instinctive warnings. With the increasing vibration, the bricks and tiles on the house began to tremble, and the icicles under the eaves also fell one by one. , Fell to the ground, turned into a ground of crushed ice.

  —Black Forest.

Along with the tremors of the earth, the dark purple mist began to surging in the forest, and even spurred a huge wave of cloud and mist. This filthy, chaotic wave flooded the entire forest, and the soldiers guarding the city moved their sights here. They are on alert for this huge change, and are ready to fight.

   "Hahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Suddenly, with a roar of beasts that shook the mountains, the black and purple mist was washed away by a huge figure rushing from a distance. It was at least thirty meters tall, and its huge body was like a moving fortress. In the mist, it can be seen that this giant elephant-like monster has a pair of huge fangs and a strong proboscis, and a huge bone plate envelops the entire head.

The ice and snow became extremely active due to the arrival of this giant beast, and even turned into a flowing ice wave around its body, forming a solid ice armor, and with every breath of the giant beast, it was like black smoke. The dark purple mist rose, flying between the hairs.

   Boom!

The rushing behemoth ran into the abandoned human fortress head-on. Under its impact, the tall stone building was crushed like a fragile toy. The huge fangs flicked, and the fragments of the building splashed around. A plume of smoke rose from the dust, and it temporarily stopped the impact, as if it was slowly recovering its strength.

   "Alarm! Hurry up and sound the highest level alarm!"

   "Suspected golden monster is coming!"

   toot—toot—toot—toot—

   The stern sirens immediately resounded throughout the city, and the soldiers who were stunned by the terrifying appearance of the giant beast finally reacted, and they immediately went to their respective posts to prepare to confront the giant monster.

   "The artillery is ready!" "Mage, where's the mage?" "The ice armor on it is at least half a meter away, unless it is a heavy siege crossbow, it will have no effect!"

The noisy sound spread between the city walls and the towers. It sounds very chaotic, but in fact it is secretly orderly. The soldiers who have been guarding for the sudden attack of the wild beasts are shocked by the sudden appearance of the behemoth without warning. Jumped, but did not mess up the position.

A few seconds later, a goblin magic cannon that seemed to have been specially modified was pushed to the front of the city wall. The 155-caliber black muzzle was aimed at the behemoth that temporarily stopped moving. Under the urge of pyroxene powder, The magic pattern lit up, and it blasted out the first cannonball of this city defense battle.

  嗖!

The sound couldn’t catch up. The pointed steel-cored armor-piercing projectile galloped through the atmosphere with supersonic speed. The special magic shell of the large monster hit the left shoulder of its target. It successfully broke through the ice wave and penetrated the ice armor. The enchanted explosion dust contained in it exploded, releasing extremely powerful shock waves and high-temperature air currents, tearing the flesh and blood, burning and destroying it.

   "Success! Hit!"

The morale of the guards on the city wall immediately rose. They could clearly see that with the violent explosion, a huge wound appeared on the left shoulder of the giant beast, and purple-black blood was sprayed out like a fountain, and the surrounding white snow Stained with muddy colors.

   "The raw materials for this shell cost three thousand gold coins, but the power is indeed worth the price!"

   "Go on, don't stop the attack, it still has combat effectiveness, if this guy hits the wall, it will be over!"

Some people can also see that although the wound seems to be very serious, for the huge monster that is 30 meters high, 40-50 meters long, and 20 meters wide, the wound is probably equivalent to being dug on a human body. The loss of meat the size of two fingers, although it is very painful, will never affect the combat effectiveness and can only arouse anger.

   The facts are as he predicted.

   "Boom!"

The heavy snow was flying, and the thunderous sound wave turned into a substantial impact. The air was shaken with translucent ripples by this huge sound. The behemoth, which was several times larger than the mammoth giant, raised its head and let out a violent roar. In response to its will, a sudden blizzard was raised out of thin air between the sky and the earth, and the black and purple mist spread wildly on its body.

Raised two forelimbs, and then trampled the ground heavily. Under its power, the frozen soil of the North Land, which has been frozen for thousands of years by ice and snow, instantly resembled soft mud, flooded with torrent-like waves, surging toward the city wall. Pounce.

At the same time, the second wave of attacks from the fortress also poured out. Whether it was heavy crossbows or spells, artillery or slings, they hit this huge target, although most of them were unloaded by the ice wave surrounding the monster. Go, the remaining small part was blocked by the half-meter-thick ice armor, but there were still a few attacks that actually hurt the monster.

Blasted by this earth tide, the fortress wall shook violently. Although this was blessed by the elves, the solid wall with activated tree roots inside would not be destroyed by such an attack, but the people on it could not withstand such a shock. The endless attack stopped immediately.

   "Hoo—!!!"

And the giant beast also let out a second painful roar. It retreated several steps in succession. There were many huge wounds on its body, but an inexplicable pressure suddenly appeared. The giant suddenly opened its mouth, violently. Breathing, ice, snow, and purple mist were mixed with countless air and swallowed into his abdomen, his aura seemed to swallow everything.

   "Crack, crackle—"

   The originally huge body swelled in constant inhalation, and the wound was also suppressed by the crazy swelling muscles, no longer bleeding, the behemoth's violent momentum continued to rise, and even broke through a limit in the end—

   "Boom-ah ah ah ah!"

The surrounding mountain peaks began to tremble because of the roar. Thousands of years of snowfall collapsed, and the torrent of collapsed ice swept towards the forest below, and endless beasts walked out of the black forest shrouded in purple mist, howling , Began to rush towards the fortress.

  —On the second floor of the clock tower, communication is finally restored again.

   I heard the highest level sirens resounding throughout the city for the first time, and Joshua at the other end of the communication array immediately said, "What happened?"

  "..."

   The gray-haired knight did not answer his lord’s question, he just stared out the window blankly, remotely watching the other side of the fortress.

A violent tremor came from the section of the city wall facing the Black Forest. It seemed that some behemoth was slowly moving towards the fortress. Amid the stern alarm, the sight of Silver Knight Elson seemed to penetrate for an instant. He saw a huge fire of life burning crazily right in front of the fortress. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is a huge and terrifying existence like a mountain and sea. It breaks through by burning its own life. It lighted up a ray of light when it exceeded its limit.

   That is the brilliance of gold, the power of glory.

   "Golden Behemoth..."

   murmured in a low voice, the 39-year-old silver knight's eyes flashed with complicated light: "The wild golden beast, the wall is over."

   He turned around and went back to the room, reconnecting with the communication.

"Master." Kneeling on one knee, the middle-aged knight closed his eyes and quietly said to the other end of the communication array: "The golden beast is coming, the city wall is about to be breached, and the Black Forest Fortress is about to fall. ."

  Who can stop the knights from guarding their hearts?

   There is no more. The knight’s sword must be swung to defend something. With this determination, life and death have long become meaningless false words.

   "It is a frustrating regret that I have not had time to be loyal to you, but now I am going to the front line to protect this land..."

   After a pause, the gray-haired knight laughed with a peaceful expression. He vaguely recalled the first time he saw Joshua when he was at the main city gate.

   "Fighting to the death for you and this land, this can be regarded as fulfilling the responsibility of the knight."

   "No, Elson, stop it for me."

After a moment of silence, the majestic and confident male voice once again sounded from the other end of the communication array. The Lord of Moldavia firmly said to his knight: "No one will die, and you don’t need it. Be loyal to me with my life."

   "Because I will be there soon."
