Soul of Burning Steel

Vol 2 Chapter 24: Charge

   The red light shone like stars, and the depressing dark cloud above his head was split in an instant.

  Bathed in the starry sky and moonlight, the weather-covered knights drove their horses and re-arranged their arrays at the highest point of the hill.

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

The bright silver armor is covered with frost and snow, and the traces of the wind are everywhere, but the knights are not tired. Although they have been running for several days, they should have been very tired, but the silver knights are no longer ordinary normal creatures. , This level of physical exertion is still within the load range.

   Looking around, the hills are covered with frost, and the old trees with their dead leaves carrying snow, towering aside with gray rocks.

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

The smell of    beast blood and savage wildness fills the atmosphere, and with the roar of the shaking mountains in the distance, an endless wave of wild beasts invades the boundless Hessian, rushing unstoppably like the raging waves of the Black Sea.

   Is this the enemy we will face?

   There was no fear in his heart, and the knights looked at the man standing in the forefront.

   The man who rode a black horse, shot through the sky with a gun, and stood under the banner.

  Joshua.

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

The purple-black mist was accompanied by the dust that was mixed with tossing, and gradually rose up with the running of countless monsters. The army of the beasts fell across the sky and the earth, tearing the atmosphere of freezing ice. , Even Blizzard and wind cannot stop the shelter.

   In the face of this army of countless violent and twisted monsters, even the bravest will hesitate.

   But for the fighters, that's not the case.

   Fear?

   It's better to say it's looking forward.

   There is nothing better than now, and the joy of the battle that is about to come does not need to be concealed.

   Like a hungry wolf who is greedy for blood and longing for raw meat, a man who simply longs for an invigorating battle seems to have found what he has always wanted.

Wearing a black armor, a black-haired and red-eyed warrior held a silver-white giant sword in his right hand, and his left hand held the second steel lance that was handed over. The bitter wind blowing on his face blew the black cloak to hunting noises. , Facing the galloping group of beasts, his eyes seemed to burn, and he laughed silently.

   This is my age.

   "Knights, take orders!"

   A voice that sounded like a steel trembling sounded at the front of the team, and Joshua laughed wildly and gave orders—

   "Follow me-charge!"

   "Charge!"

  ——Fortress.

   "Reinforcement? What's the situation?"

In addition to the archer and Brandon, many people also found the red brilliance that flashed into the distance and the steel spear that hit the center of the beast tide, but more soldiers who focused on hindering the beast tide did not notice this. They just Machines generally repeat their attacks, harvesting waves of wild beasts.

Verdani was focusing on dealing with a large number of flying species from the sky before, and did not notice the abnormality that happened on the ground before, but she heard the word reinforcement, she couldn't help turning her head, looking suspiciously still using Observing the archer in the distance through the telescope, he asked, "Is there really any reinforcements?"

   Since sending out the letter for help a few days ago, the female wizard of Zifa has been waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, but in the day-to-day disappointment, she almost gave up.

  Thinking about it carefully, the countess gave a bitter smile, filled with bitterness and self-deprecation. Who would cross thousands of miles just to support an opponent who does not usually interact, and even has the possibility of competition? As for how threatening the group of beasts that escaped after breaking through the fortress would pose to the entire Northland, how could those people understand it without personal experience.

   "No, Danny, there are really reinforcements."

A sword cut off the heads of several monsters who were climbing the wall. The Golden Swordsman Brandon turned around and said seriously to his lover: "I saw it. Someone in the distance exploded in anger just now. He threw a lance for several times. A distance of kilometers hit the center of the beast tide, causing terrible damage, but because the beast tide was replenishing so fast, you didn't see it."

"is it?"

The countess naturally believed him. If anyone in this world would not deceive herself, then only this blond swordsman would be the only one. Verdani cast herself an extremely effective eagle eye technique and looked at Bran. Deng pointed to the distance.

  In the field of vision, the Radcliffe family's black gold-rimmed flag fluttered in the wind, and the heraldry of the sword hand was so obvious.

The knights riding the dragon blood horses followed the flags and arranged the array on the hills. The leader was a tall warrior wearing a black full-body armor, holding a huge sword and a spear, burning with the unique fighting spirit of a gold-class warrior. ring.

   There are indeed reinforcements.

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

   Fifty people?

Hearing the feelings of his lord, some of the soldiers of the patrol group who were fighting nearby couldn't help showing complex and unspeakable expressions, and then these bold men simply cursed: "Fifty people, such a little reinforcement has a shit!" "

   "What do they think this is? Do children play house?"

   "This *** is a huge tide of 200,000 beasts, fifty people, and disappeared in an instant! If we hadn't been protected by a wall, we would have been gnawed away!"

A certain warrior shot a wolf-shaped beast from the edge of the city wall. He wiped the cold sweat from his head, looked at the densely dense, surging beast like a sea of ​​hell, and said loudly: "Don't talk such nonsense, look, even the city gate is already blocked by the corpses of this group of monsters, even if they can break through the tide of beasts, we can't open the city gate to let them in!"

What he said is not bad. The wild beast left thousands of corpses at the bottom of the city wall. With their huge size, if it were a small city wall more than ten meters high, the corpses would have been piled up on a **** long ago, and then other monsters would Can easily hit the wall. Even if the Moldovan fortress is such a large wall made of hollowed out stone mountains that it will not be submerged so quickly, the city gate has long been firmly blocked by the corpse.

   "It's useless, such a small number of people are useless even if they come."

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

   The little hope that I had ignited when I heard that there was support, was simply extinguished by reality. The morale that was finally maintained with numbness plummeted, and the attack speed of the entire fortress was reduced at a frequency visible to the naked eye.

  The monsters don't care about the morale of the enemy, they have only one idea in their minds that have long been irritable because of the mad dragon disease, and that is to tear the enemy and devour flesh and blood.

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

   "Roar ah ah ah ah!!!"

After swallowing a corpse of the same kind, a certain monster, which was probably a white bear, roared wildly. The musculoskeletal body violently broke out and made a crackling sound. Its eyes now turned into a dark purple. The breath was mixed with magical light spots visible to the naked eye, black mist overflowed from the fur of this wild beast, and then the whole body swelled suddenly, and the snow-white hair was supported by the violent muscles. Like a steel needle, incredible power pulsed all over the body.

   Deep frenzy!

   "Huh!"

   The purple-blue breath was mixed with a deep chill, gathering like a storm in the mouth of the giant bear that was already about eight meters high. Then, a turbulent beam of light was rising, and the strengthened breath of cold ice hit the city wall.

   Boom!

The violent explosion blasted a corner of the gray-white city wall, and fell from the broken rock covered with a layer of ice. It smashed into the wild beasts, and immediately crushed several weaker monsters to death. Not only were the other monsters not afraid, they were even more violent because of the smell of blood. They roared and roared, crawling toward the wall at a faster speed than before.

One side lost its morale, but the other side was more fierce. One side went down and the other side changed. Suddenly, there were several places on the city wall that became anxious, and even in some places where defenses were weak and the inspection team was too late to reach, some beasts had already climbed the city wall. , Fought with the city guards.

   "Damn it, it won't work!"

Arriving at the speed of a gust of wind, Brandon wielded his double swords, and easily cut the few monsters that had climbed the city wall into pieces of meat. He turned his head and spoke loudly to Verdani and the soldiers defending the city. Said: "Even if there are no reinforcements, you should not be so desperate, Danni, at least someone is willing to come and help you, and the leader of the warrior must be of gold level. If others don't talk about it, he will definitely be able to break through the beast tide and come to help! "

   "Three strong gold ranks, at least there is no problem defending this siege!"

   The voice of the Golden Swordsman was specially amplified with vindictiveness, and it resounded between the city wall and the tower, and it immediately awakened everyone - even if fifty people were of no use, there was at least one golden powerhouse! In any case, it is better than the previous form, it is really unreasonable that morale is so low.

"Correct!"

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

   After that, the Golden Mage stopped talking any more, her expression was solemn, and once again raised the gray iron-wood staff in her hand, instilling her own magic power with all her strength, and arousing the elemental power in the atmosphere.

  Although the surroundings have been infected by the aura of chaos, the magic power and elements are filthy, but how can such a small matter be hindered by the full play of the purple-haired mage's gold rank?

Suddenly, the whistling north wind stopped, and the blizzard stopped. The clouds in the sky were separated by a mysterious force, retreating like ripples of water, and the sky with twinkling stars appeared in this for a few times. I haven't seen the sky above the starlight fortress in ten days. Facing such a miraculous scenery, the morale of all the soldiers was lifted.

   "……"

Silent, fully manipulating her own power, Verdani, as a golden war mage of imperial elements and magic, all the magic she knows and creates is created for the purpose of large-scale war, which means that in While it is powerful, it is absolutely impossible to use easily.

The countess knows that after launching her most powerful spell with her own strength, she will definitely fall into a long period of weakness and even coma. If there is no one to protect it, it will be a big drag, so in the first few times Siege, no matter how crisis, she did not use her strongest spell.

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

and so……

   "Witness the power of the stars!"

  【Power of Glory·Star Arc Shattering】

   With a shout, countless rays of light suddenly started from the twinkling stars, and fell straight down like rain!

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

  Valdanni’s power of glory [Star Arc Shattering] can link the reflections of the stars in the sky, use endless starlight as the origin, condense the magical barrage that is almost the speed of light, and give huge blows to enemies in a wide range.

"Well done!"

   The blond swordsman seemed to have seen his lover use such a powerful spell for the first time. He immediately noticed that the warcraft's offensive was lightened and the pressure on the city wall was greatly reduced.

   But then, in his horrified sight, the purple-haired mage clenched the gray development in his hand and slowly fell down.

   "Dani!"

Immediately rushed to Verdani’s side, hugged her and raised his head. Brandon frowned. He covered the female mage’s head with his hand, felt a little, and then heaved a sigh of relief in his heart: “It’s okay, it’s just a transition. Fatigue and coma, no serious problem..."

   But now is not the time to be rejoicing, he immediately turned around anxiously ~www.novelmtl.com~ to look at the animal tide.

Although at least thousands of wild beasts have been wiped out before, without the large-scale spell suppression and deterrence of the Golden Mage, the flying species in the air will be suppressed by a large force, and the situation may be better than the endless wave of beasts afterwards. It was worse before!

   This is also the reason why gold powerhouses cannot easily make a move. Sometimes, they stay in place to effectively suppress local offenses.

   But in fact, after turning his head back, the Golden Swordsman saw a scene that made him stop breathing in amazement.

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

  The beast tide... actually stagnated?

impossible! Brandon's heart shook violently. He clearly knew that no matter how powerful an attack was, it was impossible to frighten these irrational monsters invaded by chaos. It is impossible for them to feel afraid and dare not step forward. Just as countless alchemy artillery blasted huge holes in them, but they would be filled in a few seconds. Although the holes created by the obliteration of thousands of beasts are beyond imagination, it does not take ten seconds. It can all be supplemented.

   "Wait, not standing still!"

   is a gold-level swordsman after all, Brandon keenly perceives the strange movement of the beast tide: "They are converging towards other places!"

   Could it be...

   eyes widened in surprise, the Golden Swordsman looked up at the distant hills.

Where the beast tide converges, there is a red light flashing, it is rushing towards the fortress wall at the speed of a gust of wind~www.novelmtl.com~Welcome to read the latest, fastest and hottest. The serialized works are all at ~www.novelmtl.com~ For mobile phone users, please go to read it.
