Soul of Burning Steel

　　Star Pendant, 831, December 17, evening.

　　 Moldova's Hessian fortress, with heavy snow.

　　 The cold wave did not take any pity for the fortress that stood among the mountains and white snow. It had just experienced a great battle. It was mixed with heavy snow and cold wind and kept blowing between the streets and the towers, condensing layer after layer of frost.

The gloomy clouds spread the heavy atmosphere. Nowadays, there are no pedestrians walking on the roads cast in limestone, only scattered damaged weapons and damaged armor instruments are abandoned by the roadside. Their owners may have been killed long ago. , Perhaps because of luck to survive, but in any case, this scene is extremely bleak.

　　 And the silver-haired girl walked slowly on this deserted street, her green pupils could not see any emotion.

Her steps are light and full of vitality like a girl. She is wearing a white women's double-breasted military uniform, matching trousers and silver boots. She wears a pair of light leather gloves on her hands. I saw a white and slender wrist between the cuffs... I have to say that such a beautiful girl full of vitality is not suitable for appearing here.

　　 But Hotaru finds it very suitable.

　　 Looking around the surrounding houses and towers, the miraculous girl breathed the smell of war and felt the aftermath of the battle. She looked at the incomplete weapons on the ground, her eyes softened, as if she could communicate with these dead objects. But she did not stop for this, but walked straight in one direction.

　　 The silver leather boots and the stone streets collided with the ice and snow, and there was a soft ‘chuck’ sound, which echoed in the streets where there was only the sound of wind, and passed to the distance.

　　 "It's so miserable..."

　　 sighed softly, and Hotaru said with some emotion: "It is also the siege of the Kuroshio. Although the owner's territory is tragic, it is not so lonely..."

After all, when the fortress of Moldavia was most critical, Joshua rushed to the scene and killed the Golden Beast. Otherwise, the fortress of Moldavia whose wall was breached would definitely be more tragic than the fortress of Moldavia. Hundreds of times, it would be a blessing to have a living person surviving.

　　 But anyway, the final result was that Joshua arrived, and his master cleaned up all the monsters and troubles, but the leader here couldn't do the same, so it caused such a consequence. This is a gap.

　　 But it should be like this, how can his master be like ordinary people?

Thinking of this, Hotaru is now in the center of the fortress, and this place has finally gained some popularity. The knights on patrol set out from here and traveled to all parts of the city. They were wearing battle armor with dust and blood stains, and their faces were dusty and exhausted. Struggle up and march in line.

　　Beside the streets they were patrolling, the rows of unmanned houses were extremely quiet, only a few small buildings flashed with flames, and the smoke from the burning of the barriers floated from the chimneys.

　　 is like an empty city.

Facing the dark tide composed of two hundred thousand wild beasts, the Moldovan fortress is actually not as deadly and injured, at least not as big as imagined, but there are so many injured and exhausted people, so there are still many people in their own lives. At home and in the barracks fell into a dreamless sleep, even such a team of exhausted soldiers, it was hard to get together.

　　 These soldiers, because of their sense of responsibility, honor, and orders from the commander, tried their best to lift their spirits so as not to fall asleep while walking and lie in the ice and snow. Obviously, holding the pyroxene lamp for lighting in his hand, it emits a misty white light, but his head seems to be covered with a cloud of bleakness.

In the middle of the avenue, these soldiers met Hotaru who was observing them, and the soldiers who did not know her were a little surprised that there is such a spirited and lovely girl in the fortress now, but they did not do anything, on the contrary, there was a kindness. The leader of the team reminded him of sleepiness: "Child, the fortress is currently under curfew. You can't go out, and it's so late. Go back with your parents and don't worry them."

　　 "Yeah, it's so cold, what are you doing out?"

The other soldiers also agreed in unison. One guy also made a small joke: "In fact, she is not dangerous. Look at her clothes and hair, and her skin is as white as snow, walking on the street full of frost and snow. If you don’t pay attention, you won’t see anyone at all."

　　 "Really, I'm all white."

　　 With this forced joke, everyone smiled, and their spirits were refreshed, and then they continued to patrol. As for Hotaru--how can there be any danger in the fortress now? It's nothing more than to remind her not to go home too late, to scare the little girl in their eyes.

　　 "……"

With bulging cheeks, the silver-haired girl turned sideways, watching the back of the group of soldiers drifting away, she said rather uncomfortably: "I'm not a little girl, obviously... the owner is twenty-one or twenty-three years old. ...Yes, I am obviously 21 years old!"

　　 It was a bit late to explain that the soldiers on patrol had already left the other side of the street early, and could not hear her answer.

After walking for a while, not far from the front is the central warehouse of the fortress-it is said to be a warehouse, but it is actually a material transit area. As the most important place in the fortress today, there are about 20 or 30 people guarding the warehouse. Wearing chain armor and a half helmet, carrying a long sword and a solid wooden shield, patrolling back and forth based on a six-pointed star with a red bottom and a gold edge.

Although the warcrafts are not like humans attacking and defending each other, they will focus on raiding each other's material centers, but after all, there are a large number of flying warcrafts, and there are many smart ones. As long as they are likely to be attacked, they must not relax. These soldiers' The energy is not bad, although it seems a little tired, but at least it seems to get enough sleep.

At first, the guards in the warehouse wanted to prevent the little girl from approaching, but the officer here had already received a greeting from the boss. After confirming that Hotaru had been granted permission, the face was haggard and looked like a few days. The guy who didn't sleep well, walked into the warehouse with the silver-haired girl with a wry smile.

　　 "Oh, it's really miserable. The weapons and armors in the warehouse are actually not lacking at all. Otherwise, everyone won't throw broken weapons on the roadside, but there are enough weapons and not enough manpower..."

The haggard chief of the warehouse said bitterly at the firefly: "The average militia can't wear this kind of heavy armor at all, and even formal soldiers may not be able to walk smoothly. What is most in short supply now is the chain mail and the wide wooden shield... if these are these. If heavy armor can help those reinforcement knights, just take it away, it's useless to put it here."

He didn't intend to save money for his lord, and this is exactly what Verdani meant-fifty silver knights are naturally nothing in the beast tide, but above the city wall, they can guarantee at least a few hundred meters. Absolutely, enough to put in a lot of investment, fifty sets of armors are nothing to the wealthy Scarant family.

To be honest, if the fortress was originally hollowed out from a small rocky mountain, the body would be too wide. Otherwise, if the fifty knights are definitely a key force, the broad line of defense is weakened. The importance of the knights.

　　 Firefly spoke to the chief of the warehouse from time to time, asking what it was that something she had never seen before, and the tired middle-aged man was still energetic to explain one by one.

Until they entered the warehouse on the second floor, the two people calmed down~www.novelmtl.com~ The center of the warehouse on the second floor was shining with the white light of the pyroxene lamp, and the light reflected on the enclosed armor and swords. , Illuminates the entire warehouse hall.

　　 "What style of armor does the Lord of Moldavia like? Tell me the size and I can choose it for you."

I can see that Hotaru seems to have something to do with it. I can’t choose. The warehouse chief said this sentence confidently: “Don’t say anything else. As far as I am familiar with the styles of armor and weapons, there are few in Moldova that can surpass mine. ."

　　 "...If that's the case, please."

　　 The distressed Hotaru simply reported a large number of data, and it didn't take long for the smiling warehouse chief to get the armor that met the requirements.

　　 The armor that had been transformed into a small model by the reduction technique and weightlessness technique was placed in a small box and handed it to the silver-haired girl.

"thank you very much!"

　　 "We should thank you."

　　 waved his hand with a wry smile, and the middle-aged man shook his head and said, "No one can tell, if there weren't that adult who had led the troops to break up the beast tide, today is the day our city was destroyed... alas."

　　 Having said that, he sighed again: "Anyway, at least I can rest now...you and that adult, you must take care of your body."

"……Ok."

　　 Holding the box and saying goodbye to the guards, Hotaru left the city center.

　　 Amidst the cold wind and haze, the silver-haired girl walked on the quiet street following the induction of the contract.

　　 She walked slowly towards the wall in front of the fortress.
