Gondolin is a key pass built by the Gangwu Empire in order to defend the north with a lot of resources, during which it links the defense line of seventy percent of the northwest, and is one of the eight major Xiongguan passes of the empire, with the reputation of the most solid defensive barrier in the northwest....

The climate here is dry and cold, the conditions are difficult, the residents are brave and good at fighting, and the sense of resistance is very strong, and the perennial comfortable southern grassland is different, Gondolin has faced the invasion of the major golden tribes of the beast tribe for many years, the folk customs are extremely strong, basically boys over ten years old can ride horses and shoot arrows, and they will not even be weaker than a regular soldier in the south when they pick up arms....

But it is such a strong local people who have begun to slowly sink into an atmosphere of despair these days.....

Since three months ago, an unprecedented dark magic has shrouded the entire north, where the darkness is shrouded, creatures have become bloodthirsty and brutal, even plants have become cannibalistic beasts under the corrosion of dark power, the northern forest is visibly expanding with the naked eye, the residents who fled here from the city of Fangmerus said that the northern forest is like coming to life, constantly expanding, and in less than a few months, the entire city of Merus will be swallowed up!

As for what was inside the swelling forest, no one knew, because no one could come out of it alive.

Other cities have to face an endless tide of mutant beasts, five or six meters tall lions, bison twice as large as Gado beasts, dozens of meters long pythons, and the most terrifying thing is those insect creatures, those tiny insects that can be killed with a slap, one, have also become extremely dangerous, becoming the size of a human, the soldiers have seen mosquitoes the size of people more than once, and forced their companions into the air and sucked them into a dried corpse!

I heard that the largest Xiongguan Normandia was overwhelmed by the endless insect dynasty, but fortunately, they were prepared and asked the mages to prepare a flame shield in advance, which avoided the same fate....

There are many more legends about this dark invasion... Many, anyway, people who keep escaping from the outside describe that the outside is already a hellish existence of Shura.

Gondolin is a famous stone town, the outside environment is extremely difficult, at a glance is white granite, many people hate to come here to live, because here in addition to stones or stones, there is no anger at all, but also because of this, in the face of this dark invasion, Gondolin can hold out for so long, away from the forest, the river These once criticized disadvantages have now become Gondolin's biggest advantage, because away from rivers and forests, so that Gondolin faces very few mutated creatures, and also allows people here enough time to react, The mutation force of the strangulation is too small, and the mutation situation of the soldiers is not as bad as in other cities.

Gondolin, a stone town that was once looked down upon by countless people, is now the only surviving hope in the northwest.

But the more this happens, the more desperate the Lord of Mack, who is in charge of the city, who has been stationed in Gondolin for many years, knows how the city works.

Gondolin itself has no production capacity, this terrain was originally a stone forest, because the terrain advantage was used as a northwest barrier after the second generation of emperors were developed, and it was not self-sufficient, it actually needed seventy percent of the northwest to supply supplies.

Of course, as an important city of the border army, in order to prevent being surrounded by the beast clan and unable to send supplies, the food supply of Gondolin was originally very sufficient, enough for the soldiers and civilians of Gondolin to eat for more than half a year, plus there is a mage who can call the rain, saving a little, and resisting for a year is actually not a big problem.

But that's only for the soldiers and civilians in the city, since the inexplicable Kuroshio hit, refugees from the northwest have basically gathered here, and now the population here is almost three times the normal situation.

And those who can successfully escape here are all relatively good soldiers, and this kind of soldier eats much more than ordinary residents, and the most important thing is that the anger is also heavier!

Being able to kill here from the outside, most of them have experienced a lot of battles, and many soldiers have produced certain mutations, and the combat effectiveness of the mutated soldiers has become much stronger, but the anger has also increased a lot, and they feel that they are enduring their bloodthirsty nature at any time, and normal residents are very vigilant in the face of these mutated soldiers, which makes those soldiers more withdrawn.

Now faintly, those mutated soldiers seem to have formed a group, and faintly and Gondolin, the city lord, have the tendency to fight against each other....

This made him regret letting these soldiers in, at the beginning, let them in, one is the bottom line and kindness of the same human beings, and the second is also because of the continuous fall of other cities around, he hopes to absorb these fleeing soldiers to strengthen the power of the city, but at present, it seems that because of the desolate location of Gondolin, there seems to be no threat of large beast tides, on the contrary, these mutant soldiers may be the real hidden danger that leads to the destruction of Gondolin.....

"What should I do?" The city lord Mike became more and more worried, now the food in the city is becoming more and more scarce, since three days ago has begun to streamline the food, the food distributed is half of the before, hunger has made the conflict between each other deeper and deeper, on the street at any time you can hear the locals complaining about the wandering soldiers, and even humiliating in person.

But when Mike was nervous, those mutant soldiers seemed unusually calm these days, completely different from the violent appearance a few days ago, but the more this happened, the more terrified Mike became, and he felt that now these mutant soldiers were more like a beast ready to hunt, looking at everyone was plain and cold....

It's time to figure it out......

Finally.... After being scared for so long, Mike finally made a decision.....

Instead of being scared, it's better to strike first!!

---------------------------------------

And just after Mike made up his mind, on this day, Gondolin came two more newcomers......

It is Pu Yunchuan and Isabel who have come all the way through the mountains and rivers, this road is more difficult than imagined, I have to say that it is really different to have a person who is familiar with the terrain to lead the way, Isabel perfectly inherited Alice's ability to be a top scout, and avoided the mutation zone with great precision along the way, so that Pu Yunchuan almost did not encounter any danger all the way.

But what he saw along the way made Pu Yunchuan's heart tremble, for example, he saw a bison twice as big as the Gado Beast suddenly swallowed alive by a giant python that suddenly appeared in the waterhole, the giant python was much bigger than the snake chief who was halfway up the mountain in the Black Water Department, Pu Yunchuan was curious about how the waterhole contained such a terrible giant snake, but then, he saw a group of terrifying mosquitoes pestering the giant python all the way, sucking it alive into a huge dried corpse....

And they can clearly feel it when they wander on the edge of the mutated forest, the forest is expanding, like a living thing, slowly expanding outward, and the two of them can clearly feel the forest's desire for themselves when they wander to the edge!

Anyway, although Pu Yunchuan has not encountered any danger in the past few days, the mental blow is extremely huge, and he swears that he will never approach that forest again....

The guards seemed to be a little stunned that there were still survivors coming to Gondolin at this time, but although the guards on the periphery were a little hideous and vicious because of their mutated faces, they were very kind to him and Isabel, and took the initiative to give them hot water and food....

But as soon as they entered the city, the eyes of the residents were full of disgust...

What's the situation? Pu Yunchuan couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

"There's something wrong with this city..... "Isabel looked at the disgusted gaze that was quietly revealed in the window of the house, and whispered to Pu Yunchuan.
