Chapter 1758: Temptation and Confrontation (I)

Because of the relationship with the French Empire for many years, the geographical location of the Snow Wolf Fortress is quite special, in addition to being located on the boundary between the Slavic Snow Country and the French Empire, it is also the boundary between the snow field and the inland with several other Slavic fortresses.

Therefore, people who come here for the first time will be stunned by the strange scenery in front of them, obviously it is the same fortress, but the scenery on both sides is completely different, and even if you are a merchant from the French Empire, then when you arrive at the Snow Wolf Fortress, you will find that you can still see the green grass that is not lush but still grows tenaciously under your feet one moment, but when you pass through the Snow Wolf Fortress the next moment, it is likely to be a white snow, and the last time it is also a frozen soil that exudes an infinite desolate atmosphere.

For this reason, the caravans also referred to these fortresses on the border between the French Empire and the Slavic kingdoms as 'the gates of the snowfield' or 'the climatic dividing line'. And this special scenery has even become a local spectacle, so much so that every year, many people come here from the interior of the French Empire to watch this strange scenery, and take a look at the unique food and culture of the snowy people.

However, at this moment, Aisin did not have the slightest desire to enjoy the beauty of the snow field, not that he was tired of seeing the scenery around the Snow Wolf Fortress, but the reason was that all his attention was focused on the battle he was about to face.

"Everyone acts according to the original plan, seven or eight teams to the left, ninety two teams to the right, and the rest of the people follow me to break through the middle lane, as long as you find the figure of the immortal spirit, you can strangle it with all your might!"

"Yes!"

"Remember! These damned undead are different from the enemies we usually face, they are boneless, undead monsters themselves! Therefore, as long as they still have soul fire in their eyes, they cannot be taken lightly, and they must all be crushed before they can be considered for collecting samples and loot. In addition, in addition to clearing the incoming enemies in this mission, the most important thing is to detect whether the enemy has backup and other traps, so as long as you find something wrong, you must send a signal to notify others as soon as possible, understand?! ”

"Understood!"

"Let's go!"

"Oh roar!"

……

As the northern gate of the Snow Wolf Fortress slowly opened, facing a familiar and unfamiliar cold wind, Ai Xin, who was waiting at the city gate, and the forty-nine demon wolf knights under his command almost simultaneously urged their close demon wolf companions to rush out like snowflakes in the cold wind.

In fact, the Demon Wolf Knights of the Slavic Kingdom are extremely strong, although they may not be comparable to the Silver Pegasus Knights who are famous on the continent in terms of comprehensive strength, but in the special regional environment of the Extreme North Snow Field, the Demon Wolf Knights can exert combat power far beyond their own rank and level, and the survivability that other troops and professions cannot match.

Just like the relationship between the knights of the Silver Pegasus Legion and the Silver Pegasus, in order to become a Demon Wolf Knight, you must first have at least the strength of the third order of black iron intermediate, and after reaching this standard, the Slavic warrior will step into the vast snowfield alone to find his own demon wolf.

This process can take months or more, as it is easy to find the wolf in the snow, but it takes a lot of luck and time to establish a bond with it and eventually become a close combat partner.

You must know that the demon wolf on the snow field is a completely different existence from other magical beasts, not only does it have quite strong strength, but it can also be said that it is only below humans in terms of intelligence. One of the snowymen even joked that he wouldn't be surprised if anyone told him that the demon wolf in the snowfield could speak.

So even if there is a special connection between the Slavs and the Snow Wolves, it is much more difficult for most Slavic warriors to accept a human and fight together as a mount to get a free and easy wolf to accept a human and fight together as a mount.

But as the old saying goes, the more you give, the more you get. When a Slavic warrior successfully establishes a deep bond and connection with the Snow Wolf, he will not only gain a mount that he can ride and move freely on thick snow, but also a reliable comrade who has the same heart and strength, and can also unleash unique magic to complement his combat power!

You must know that it is a deep friendship that can completely entrust your life to the other party, so in the history of the Slavic Snow Country, there are only demon wolves or knights who died in battle, and there is no other reason to separate the two sides. And some of the demon wolves who have a particularly deep affection will even go with the knight after his death.

Therefore, just as every Silver Pegasus Knight can easily deal with three professionals of the same level, the true combat power of the Demon Wolf Knight is at least two levels higher than that of ordinary warriors of the same level. And if you count the unique 'madness' ability of Slavic warriors, their combat power will have to go up to a new level in a short period of time, and they can completely fight enemies who are a big rank above themselves!

So don't look at the snow wolf knights who went out of the city with Ai Xin to fight at this time, there are only forty-nine people, and among them, there are only fifteen of them who have the strength of the fourth-order silver level, including Ai Xin himself, and the rest are basically third-order black iron high-level warriors. However, because of this, if anyone underestimates the enemy when they are against them, then these careless guys will definitely be horrified to find that the demon wolf knights holding wolf-headed giant axes on the opposite side are all masters of 'pretending to be pigs and eating tigers', and their strength cannot be measured by common sense at all.

After all, according to the previous algorithm, the Demon Wolf Knight Squadron led by Ai Xin was almost equivalent to a super group composed of fifteen fifth-order gold-level powerhouses and thirty-five fourth-order silver-level quasi-powerhouses! And this may be one of the reasons why Captain Kaft is relieved to let them go out of the city to meet the enemy, after all, with this kind of lineup, even if they accidentally encounter a sixth-order purple gold junior super powerhouse, they can resist a little instead of fighting back completely.

In this way, as Ai Xin and the others gradually unfolded their formation, under the rapid swing of the demon wolf's strong and powerful limbs, the three teams quickly blew like the wind on the frosty frozen soil, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed through a distance of more than a thousand meters, and they were about to arrive at the place where the fire projectile fired by the catapult above the fortress landed before.

However, at this time, Eshin's face was no longer the impatience and fury that had been waiting in the fortress before, but a solemn expression very similar to that of Captain Kraft quickly emerged.

You must know that although it gets dark early on this side of the Far North Snow Field, and because of the recent appearance of dark clouds, there is always a faint layer of cold fog on the snow every night. However, Ai Xin remembered clearly at this moment, it was just after noon, and there were at least two or three leaks before it got dark, but at this moment, the vision that should have been quite clear in front of him had been covered by a layer of faint gray fog, so that it was clear that the flame formed by the fire bomb landing was less than 100 meters away from Ai Xin, but with his eagle-like vision, he found that the orange-red flame not far away not only looked a little hazy, but even the part of the outer flame seemed to be a little strange lilac no matter how you looked at it!

This is not the same as what you see on the walls of the Snow Wolf Fortress! Could it be ......

In fact, since the appearance of the long-lasting strange gray cloud in the sky, Aishin and the others have suspected that all this should be related to the dead spirits who have occupied the snowfield. It's just that because they have been stationed in the Snow Wolf Fortress and have not been in direct contact with the enemy, they have not found direct evidence.

As for those who were lucky enough to escape from the snowfield, on the one hand, they were already frightened by the undead, and on the other hand, they lacked relevant knowledge and were bent on escaping danger, and they basically did not care about observing the changes in their surroundings.

So at this moment, when Aishin found that the mist was actually changing with the appearance of those strange undead, Aishin confirmed that the gray cloud and mist must be related to the appearance of these undead spirits. Not only that, but Aishin felt that if he hadn't guessed wrong, judging from what he had just seen from the city walls, those sickle-claw skeletons with strange gray scale armor on their bodies were probably the most suitable special beings to fight in this misty environment.

So thinking of this, Ai Xin quickly passed on the order to be careful of sneak attacks and all vigilance with the unique 'battle howl' technique of the Snow Warriors, and at the same time, the demon wolf under the crotch of Ai Xin and the others, who had always been more sensitive than humans, also lowered their bodies and roared almost in no particular order.

"All ready! They should be lurking near us! Roxa, get some wind to blow away these damn fogs! ”

"Okay!"

As the captain of Aishin's immediate personal guard, Roxa's demon wolf companion is not only a fourth-order wind demon wolf, but also a 'rare' individual who can use a variety of auxiliary talent magic. Therefore, with Ai Xin's order, Roxa, who also had the primary strength of the fourth-order silver, quickly touched the left ear of the demon wolf under his crotch, and then saw that the eyes of the sturdy demon wolf with pale gray hair quickly lit up with a faint green light, and then in just a few moments, a pale cyan whirlwind quickly appeared with the demon wolf under Roxa's crotch as the core, and then turned faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, it spread to a radius of more than ten meters!

In fact, [Whirlwind Technique] is a fifth-order group magic among wind magic, and once released, it can not only quickly create a whirlwind with an astonishing speed to blow enemies into the air, but also interfere with the actions and actual combat magic of other professions.

It's just that with the fourth-order strength of Roxa's demon wolf partner, he can't use such a high-level magic at all. Therefore, the 'gentle' whirlwind that appeared beside Ai Xin and the others at this moment was not a fifth-order wind-based magic [Whirlwind Technique] at all, but only a special application of the third-order wind-based magic [Group Whirlwind Shield].

However, even so, the air flow brought up by the [Swarm Whirlwind Shield] was enough to blow the hazy mist around Aesin and the others into a mess, and it was no longer as integrated as before.

So at this time, the five gray sickle-claw skeletons that had already sneaked to about twenty meters outside of Ai Xin and the others with a semi-encirclement under the cover of the surrounding fog suddenly lost the protection of the surrounding fog and appeared!
