Soul of Burning Steel

Starfall 838, January 3rd, the southern province of the Northern Empire, the fortress of the southeast frontier, Ares Fortress.

On the watchtower next to the fortress wall, there is a tall gray-haired man with the head of a triceratops in his hand. The hideous face and sharp horns are vividly preserved by magic. The man with a scar on his face glanced at the cloudy sky, and then placed the head of the triceratops on the window sill of the watchtower window on the city wall.

At this time, the cold wind swept the clouds, and the sky was like a sea with intense cloud tides. The extremely dry icy wind condensed the moisture in the air. Everyone could see that the winter was approaching and the blizzard was coming.

But the gray-haired man didn’t care at all about it. He straightened the head of the triceratops, determined the position, and ensured that he could clearly see the central black forest that was almost at hand outside the window. Then, the man revealed one. With a formulaic smiling face, he raised the information terminal on his wrist and took a magic selfie against the head of the Triceratops.

[Priest released a new personal status]

After sending this message, the gray-haired man—that is, Priest immediately took down the first stage of the Triceratops on the window sill, and then put it in a special preservation magic bag. You can see that the magic will The anger and rage of the Triceratops before death are very clear, it can be said to be full of momentum, but all this is attributed to magic, if the magic disappears, the first stage that has not taken precautionary measures will rot.

After doing all this, Priest connected the information terminal again.

Seeing the rapidly increasing number of friends’ comments and likes under the photo, Priest couldn’t help showing a nostalgic smile, especially after seeing his sister Britney’s reply, he felt full of joy and motivation in his heart, and felt that he was still alive. Can go hunting a few more times.

"Thanks to Mowang, thanks to the information terminal, thanks to the status release and message function, and thanks to the great lord."

After sincerely thanking all of the above-mentioned existences in his heart, Priest looked at the gem-like information terminal on his wrist and couldn't help but said with emotion: "It's so great, this invention."

Since Priest was invited by Joshua last year to join the Imperial Foreign Exploration Department as a student of the Winterhold Champion Academy, he had to leave his sister in Moldavia and handed it over to the Academy for special arrangements. The staff and his friend Dar take care of him, while he is conducting various devil training and practical inspections... The separation is long, and the reunion is short. Each time Priest returns to Moldavia for a short break , Will feel abnormal happiness and pain. Happiness is that you can finally reunite with your family. The pain is about to be separated again, and there is no news for a few months.

In fact, the pain of separation is extremely common on the Mykrov continent. Whether it is an adventurer or a mercenary, whether it is a long-distance caravan or an artist who cruises the mainland, it is a work that takes a long time to go out, not to mention being assigned to the border , The soldiers thousands of miles away from their hometown...Although there are letters and communication magic, even the light curtain art with images is not a sophisticated spell, but for most ordinary people, there are certain conditions. For special people, these methods are unavailable most of the time.

Priest, who has been living in various Jedi all year round, was originally one of them, but recently, the pain of this separation has disappeared in him, in the northern people, or in some lucky imperial residents!

Because of the new generation of information terminals, there are more functions called ‘Status Release’ and ‘Add Familiar Contact’!

The information terminal is another revolutionary magic item from Moldavia in the north, born under the guidance of the legendary lord. The initial beta version of the information terminal has a large number of special functions, such as shooting magic images. Video recording, audio recording, detection of element concentration and data query, etc. Later updates added special modules such as the college’s internal forum and trading section-and in the last two months, due to the redevelopment and With the addition of servers, the new generation of information terminals has many new functions and new designs!

The holder of each information terminal must perform real-name authentication. After authentication, they will get a unique personal code. By exchanging personal codes, terminal users can add the function of following friends, and then get the other party’s dynamics in the first time. And post a reply-that is to say, with the support of Mowang, you can get the ability to communicate in near real-time!

The emergence of this function is almost subversive to the Mycroft world, which is almost a patent for the transcendent, with a single remote communication method! After confirming the reliability of the status release and private messaging function, almost all caravans and slightly wealthier adventure teams and mercenary groups in the empire did not hesitate to reprimand them and purchased the information terminal, a new magic item that was still waiting to see.

The big sales of information terminals have brought much wealth to Moldavia, and how much changes it has brought to the world. At this time, Priest is happily looking at the photos sent by his sister using the information terminal. It was a slightly crooked portrait of the duo drawn with colored pencils.

Under the portrait, there is a small line written: There are still three days before my brother returns home.

Yes, the mission of the External Exploration Team in the Black Forest was successfully concluded. In three days, Priest will be able to return to his home in the North after various handover reports and inspections.

At this time, there are more than 20 replies under the status published by Priest. Many strangers who followed the replies of friends have also browsed the photos posted by the men, most of which are praises and praises. , But there are still a small number of people who made a dissonant voice.

[Is the publisher’s sister on the first floor? How can such a small girl have an information terminal, and can also watch such **** things as the first level of Warcraft? 】

[Looking at this photo, the publisher seems to have taken the photo on the wall of the southern fortress? When it comes to military buildings, it is recommended to delete it-I really think it is necessary to standardize the use of information terminals, and the age of users also needs to be restricted. 】

Although the number is not large, it does exist. Some people are worried about the sudden proliferation of new things like information terminals. Some people believe that the rapid proliferation of information terminals will lead to the proliferation of information exchanges, which will lead to some people who should not be outside. Leaked secrets are leaked to the outside world, such as military secrets, etc., so strict information release and user restrictions are required.

In this regard, Priest is actually thinking about it. After all, compared with these latecomers, as the first brave information terminals, they actually thought of similar problems a long time ago, and reported these hidden dangers to their superiors, but for This kind of worry, the higher-level unit-that is, the Moldavian Lord's Mansion, said that'The Lord Lord thinks it is not a big problem, and the Emperor also allows it.

The two legendary powerhouses have spoken, and the others naturally don't need to care.

Prestor ignored these overly worrying replies and walked back to the walls of Ares Fortress along the stairs. At this moment, a deep shadow fell on the sky - accompanied by a sudden increase in wind, covering the sky. The blizzard that covers the sun is pouring down like a waterfall!

A mass of cold air from the permafrost in the north rolled across the Helgamos Plain, and finally came to the border of the southern province, facing the humid air mass of the Central Black Forest. The humid water vapor mixed with the dry and cold icy wind was one after another. A violent snowfall, this blizzard can even crush the sturdy branches of the black forest trees, blocking the nests of countless beasts and beasts, and have to wake up and go out. Their final result is nothing more than the interference of chaotic forces, crazy Rushed towards the human gathering place, that is, fortress after fortress,

And this is the cause of the annual ‘winter tide’ in the southern part of the empire.

Seeing Blizzard, Priest, who was originally a southerner of the empire, knew that the first round of this year's demonic wave was about to come, and dozens or even millions of crazy monsters would continue to impact every fortress around him. Among them, there is even gold and even the leader and king beast of the extreme meaning level.

Every magic wave is a great test for the southern fortress group. At this time of the year, there will be a large number of killed lists. In the most difficult time, it is even necessary for the civilians in the fortress to go up to the wall to resist the crazy beasts. This resulted in huge casualties, and the'Titan Dragonfly' and'Boros Python' that they had observed before were the main forces of the demonic tide that caused serious losses in the past few times.

"Looking at the scale of the heavy snow this year, it is estimated that the central area of ​​the Black Forest will also suffer..."

Looking at the distant horizon and discovering that it was also covered with gray, Priest couldn't help but whisper to himself: "Maybe, there will be many powerful monsters who have to wake up from hibernation and attack the fortress as before. "

At this time, Priest had reached the upper and lower steps of the city wall, where the garrison of Ares fortress was patrolling. The soldiers on guard heard this young man from the new department of the empire with no low authority talk to himself— -This news should be the last thing all soldiers of the Demon Tide would like to hear every year, because it means heavy casualties, and countless people will lose their lives.

But this time it was different. All the soldiers looked at each other, then showed a tacit smile, and even started discussing in a low voice: "Haha, the magic wave is coming!"

"This time, it's hard to say who suffers."

"The more you come, the better, the stronger the better, so that you can relieve your hatred!"

"I just lost **** the last time the Demon Tide, thank you for the spells of the Church of the Seven Gods, otherwise I will have to retire-but unlike last time, this time, they came at an untimely time!"

Suddenly, there was a cheerful atmosphere on the stairs, and even Priest couldn't help but laugh.

As for the reason, it is very simple, because everyone knows that the lord of the north, the great creator of the information terminal, will come to the fortress of Ares this evening and look forward to a large number of defenders in the Black Forest. Decades of'big counterattack'!

"Oh! Look at that!"

Now, it is the time for the job rotation. The two garrisons are quickly handing over positions. Priest passed through the crowd, but suddenly, he heard an exclamation. It was said by a garrison who was changing the guard. Shi Zheng opened his eyes wide, raised his hand, and pointed to the high part of the sky covered by blizzard: "There, floating boat!"

Suddenly, many people, including Priest, raised their heads and looked into the distance against the Blizzard, and they all saw the same. Amidst the clouds and white snow, a black and red floating boat broke through the clouds. , Is slowly descending towards Ares Fortress, on the side of this airship, there is a golden coat of arms with a sword shining!

That is the coat of arms of the Radcliffe family!

"That lord is here!"

"It's the airship of Lord Yan Prison!"

"It's the dean!"

Suddenly, it was like being struck by a flash of lightning, and the garrisons who were handed over were suddenly excited-no wonder they didn't respect military discipline, because their chief, the several gold-class powerhouses commanding the fortress of Ares, were all at this time. Looking up to the sky high with joy, and looking at the black and red floating boat, Priest was even more excited. He even took out the information terminal and quickly took a few photos.

[17:55, January 3, 838: So excited! Seeing Mr. Dean’s car, it was so handsome! (Photo attached)]

However, just as the garrison of the Ares Fortress planned to arrange personnel to pick up the floater for landing, the black and red floater stopped abruptly in place. Then, under the puzzled gaze of everyone, a figure Opened the airship's hatch, stepped naturally on the air, and walked in the direction of the black forest.

The moment this figure appeared, it took the eyes of everyone in the entire fortress. His appearance made the blizzard that had filled the sky even more violent, and the surging clouds collapsed, like a black and gray hanging down. Funnel pipes of smoke converged towards the place where the silhouettes were. For a while, everyone could only see a cloud of dark snow mist raging in the air, like a cloud of chaos.

But soon, bright lightning flashed across the dark snow and fog. At this moment, the extremely strong light illuminates the gloomy world, making the fortress of Ares in the evening like daylight - and in the next instant, you can see that figure rises. He raised his hand, and then gently waved it at the black forest covered with snow under him.

Immediately, a clear and incomparable tremor came from the world.

"Long————"

This is the sound of the earth's crust surging.

Accompanied by a violent shock that can be clearly sensed even in the fortress of Ares, with the edge of the central black forest as the boundary, layers of soil and rocks vacated under a powerful force that could distort time and space. Rising, like weightlessness, large chunks of soil collapsed, and you can see that the roots of the Black Forest trees solidified it like a rock~www.novelmtl.com~ This time waved, hundreds of square kilometers of the Black Forest land can be seen. The roots of the trees were all floating in the air, and the next moment, in the exclamation of all those who were watching this scene in the Ares Fortress, the silhouettes in the sky arbitrarily made'turning hands' and'pressing'. action.

And just such a simple small gesture caused the black forest of hundreds of square kilometers to split into thousands of small pieces in mid-air, and then it was upside down like a building block, with the crown down and the roots on top.

Immediately afterwards, this large black forest fell on the ground where they were originally located, and was pressed into the ground by a huge force - together with countless beasts living in it.

It can be seen that there are black and red traces spreading in the soil, which is the last trace left by countless beasts after they were crushed in the confusion.

The figure-Joshua-didn't have the slightest intention to do it slowly and communicate with the garrison in Ares Fortress.

Now that he has come to the southern fortress and the periphery of the Black Forest, he will start to act now, without any waiting or staying.
