On the endless ice field, ice and snow cover the earth. 「」

The thick clouds were pierced by the elemental springs, like a large mouth in the sky.

Brilliant transparent sunlight and almost substantial colorful elements fall from the breach, just like the scene depicted in the doomsday oil painting where the gods descend miracles and bring life back to life in the pillar of light.

Next to the Elemental Spring, the flying boat that looked like Noah's Ark had disappeared.

Instead, it is a luminous body shaped like a small sun, which is very close to the spring, almost coinciding, and the bright light radiates to a radius of ten miles from the spring.

Thirty miles east of the Elemental Spring, it is a black-and-gray fortress -

It was originally black, but the exterior of the main building has been mostly covered in snow and ice.

On the top floor of one of the highest towers of the fortress, two unseen figures stood looking out in the direction of the Elemental Spring.

"It's the third day, Samuel, aren't you going yet?"

A low voice sounded, and the voice drifted through the air, and no one could hear it except the man beside her.

"It's not quite time yet."

Samuel turned his back to Lin An and looked down at the army gathered outside the fortress, densely packed like ants. 「」

Here is part of Ma Pei's garrison in the Diversion Fortress:

The fortress is too close to the Elemental Spring, and if there is not a battle between high-level powerhouses and even the Legendary Realm in the near future, there is a high possibility that the fortress will be affected.

No one can predict the outcome of the battle, but ordinary people in this situation are simply powerless and can only inflict ordinary damage, so it is necessary to divert a part of the army.

But Mapei is the bridgehead of the first line of defense. It has a special significance in the entire history of the Terran race, and there are also large defensive arrays built over hundreds of years in the fortress, which will not be abandoned lightly.

"The time I have set in my letter is ten days, and you are to bring in 'the Other.' It takes a lot of time, and you always have to leave some unplanned time, if you don't go now. Maybe when 'that one' appears, it's not the flying boat that will be waiting here, but the Terran legend who has arrived—"

Lin An said unhurriedly, "When the time comes, it will be a different situation for us." ”

"Are you in a hurry?" Samuel's tone was smiling.

"I won't be anxious about you,"

Now than patience, Lin An has more capital than him. "This is your best chance, if you fail, I'll hide back, but you......"

She's a mentor and backstager, and it's not a big deal to hide back - at least in Samuel's eyes. She has such confidence.

So Lin An was settled, even if Samuel was unwilling to drag her into the water, he would not risk the failure of the plan.

"I have to say, I have always underestimated not only you, but also them."

Samuel didn't look back, looked at the small sun in the distance, and sighed slowly.

This time, it was Lin An's turn to be silent.

"This should be the killer feature of the flying boat, and they plan to break the ship, after using it this time. The flying boat is also not far from being scrapped,"

After a while, Lin An said, "Using machinery to create the power of half of the legendary realm, they and Feizhou will have to pay a great price." ”

But there are ups and downs. It also reveals her inner unpeace.

Three days ago, they watched as the ship folded its sides and shortened its mast, and the entire hull changed from a smooth streamlined shape to a huge regular hexahedron, and then, dense magical patterns appeared on the surface of the hexahedron, shining from the depths of the core, illuminating the place around the elemental spring.

Samuel once took her to try to get close there. 「」

But as soon as they reached a ten-mile radius, the two of them suddenly felt a suction, like a black hole appeared in the center, trying to suck them passively into it.

Restricted by the law, even Samuel's spatial teleportation was almost impossible.

The two didn't dare to go any further, and took advantage of the stealth to be undetected, and retreated out of the danger range.

At the last glance before leaving, Lin An's Eye of the Law descended without warning, allowing her to see clearly the laws in the entire half of the realm shrouded by the light of the little sun.

But seeing the composition of the laws in the field clearly does not mean that it can be cracked.

And the ability to create a semi-legendary realm with incomplete rules, the magic of ancient civilizations, makes them awe-inspired, and that skill has reached the realm of near-gods.

“…… This is indeed their last hole card, hehe, if it weren't for the last minute, they wouldn't have used it - Earmurdo's Dice of Fate, the true face of the biggest killer of the original Demon Calamity, turned out to be like this......"

Samuel sneered, "I heard that there is a half-step legend on the ship, but unfortunately, if it weren't for the death of this game, maybe Merlin would have a chance to produce a legend that truly belongs to them in the future." ”

"Elmerdor's Dice of Fate?"

Legend has it that the lucky dice that dramatically ended the lives of many demon powerhouses at the end of the Demon Apocalypse?

Lin An's heart jumped, remembering that he had seen the story of "Elmerdor's Fate Dice" - no wonder they still chose to fight even though they knew that the other party was a legendary powerhouse. 「」

With the strange ability of the Dice of Destiny, it is unlikely that the Terran powerhouses will defeat the true legend with half a realm, but it is still possible to trap the other party and delay until reinforcements arrive.

In exchange for the fall of a legendary powerhouse in the demon camp, the risk was completely worth it.

But Samuel wasn't going to sit idly by and watch things go on like this.

-- The deviation of events from Samuel's prediction also means that the situation is more variable and no longer fully conforms to her predictions.

In this regard, Lin An had been mentally prepared, but he didn't expect the variables to appear so quickly.

Samuel in front of him began to smile slightly, he was no longer as indulgent as he had been in front of her before, but Lin An clearly felt the excitement of his emotion, it was a combination of madness and fear, because of the emergence of variables in front of him-

has been hunted down by his father all the year round, wandering between life and death, and his spirit has become a little abnormal.

Lin An sometimes feels that he seems to have split into two completely extreme personalities, the extreme madness of his external personality conceals his inner cowardice. "His other personality seems to have stopped at some point in his childhood, and has not yet grown.

"I'm gone, hoping we'll see each other again." Samuel's voice was ethereal in the cold wind. The figure suddenly appeared at the top of the tower farther away, only to blur again and disappear completely.

“…… Bring sand to the beach. ”

With no intention of taking advantage of his long-distance teleportation at all, Lin An watched him disappear and said lightly, "I hope it will never be seen." ”

“…… Someone! ”

"Quick, there's another one in the attic!"

There was a sudden shouting from below the tower.

"You're going to get me in trouble before you leave!"

The illusion was removed at some point, and Lin An looked down at the alarmed soldiers below, his face a little depressed. tightened the cloak on his body, took out a thin mask, and slowly covered his face......

***

Not far under the walls of the fortress.

Three thousand soldiers marched below the city walls, mostly dressed in heavy off-white leather armor. Hundreds of majestic snow wolves clenched ropes on their backs, and whispered uneasily. Hundreds of pry carts were laden with supplies, and the outside was tightly wrapped in thick rough fur.

In the doorway under the fortress, General Ramoz, the supreme military commander of Ma Pei, was well-groomed and handed over a rune stone in his hand to a bearded middle-aged man in leather armor.

"Terry, these three thousand troops will be handed over to you, even if there is any situation in the direction of the fortress, as long as the rune stone does not have a predetermined reaction, you are not allowed to make any rash moves, and those who violate it will be dealt with according to the military order!"

"Yes. Checkmate! ”

The bearded middle-aged man already knew the inside story, and he knew that the situation was not something that ordinary troops could face, so even if he was unwilling, he still responded to the urn.

"Is the glory of the Blood Fortress for hundreds of years with blood and fire going to be buried in the dust of history?"

Although he knew that it was a crime of war, Ma Pei's reputation for hundreds of years was ruined in his position. Still unwilling, General Ramoz's eyebrows, which were already gray at the age of fifty, trembled, and looked at the "sun" shining in the sky in the distance.

“…… My Majesty, even the most loyal army must retreat under such power, then the future of the empire will be their world, and when the demons are exterminated and the soldiers are put into storage, will there be a place for us? ”

And what the loyal veteran didn't say was:

"If you don't even have an army that is loyal to the guards, then where will you put the position of the emperor?"

- Such a power beyond the human level makes the army retreat and terrify the emperor!

There is far more than one person who has the same emotion as the old General Ramoz, and those who have insight have had such a vision long ago: Even if the demon race is extinct and the continent is unified, it is still far from the time when the world is in great peace, and the waves that are more profound and influential for a long time are still in the future.

……

Outside the fortress door, the low hiss of the snow wolf drowned out the conversation between two young men.

"Chamberlain, we've been in the expatriate team as you commanded, Ann? Didn't you say this was Ann's news, and we could meet outside? Now Ann, why didn't you see her? ”

"I can't conjure Ann out to you, but I really don't have anything to cheat on other than being able to meet her outside."

Chamberlain's voice was calm, he was only wearing a simple robe with a thermostatic magic circle turned on, a dense iron blue stubble covered his chin, and the hair that was scattered on his shoulders was only tied up with a leather band, which was very different from his usual neat appearance, and he looked like an ordinary apprentice mage with no background, completely inconspicuous in the team.

He looked at Andre, who was dressed almost identically, and Shiryl, who was not far away.

“…… To be honest, I didn't expect you to trust me so easily and really separate from that group of participants. ”

"Nonsense, we're not stupid, even if you lie to us with An's news, you won't make fun of yourself and Rogier - although I don't know what happened, it's clear that the situation is serious, otherwise the fortress wouldn't divide the army into several groups to divide it - where is An? Will it still join us? ”

Hearing that Ann was just an excuse, Andre was a little disappointed, explained in a slightly deep voice, and asked again.

"I don't know what she's doing, and it's not the time for us to be reassured," Birlen said, "I've got Keith and Rogier ready to take over, I'll leave the group halfway, do you want to come with me?" ”
