Duchy of Elnefia, Talonshire border, Fars Fortress. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The majestic and tall fortress walls, as usual, stand on the border line of Etta County, giving everyone who comes and goes here a great impact on their hearts, and at the same time, it also gives the border soldiers who guard here an unparalleled sense of pride. But now, these thoughts have disappeared from everyone's minds, because the invasion from the Empire has advanced before their eyes.

Before they were even ready, bolts rained down on their heads.

Due to the empire's advocating of force, the empire's combat power is much higher than that of the principality, and this part of the combat power is mainly manifested in the quality of individual forces and troop coordination, and there are much less elements of science and technology such as magic. But relying on these alone, the iron cavalry of the Empire has already stepped to the east of the city of Zaraha, under the walls of the fortress of Fars, if this fortress that has never been conquered by the Empire again, then the fall of the Duchy of Elnifia is probably not far away.

Now, looking at the crowds of people slaughtering under the walls, General Dusk had the slightest confidence that the scene he had described before would become a reality—most of his troops, which had not been sent out to save strength, had already been sent out.

Standing intently, his hands clasped, the general's eyes were always on the southwest of the battlefield, where the battle was most intense, and he didn't even notice that his hat was crooked. From time to time, his subordinates quietly ran to his side and reported the latest situation to him, but every time he waved his hand weakly, making them retreat again and again.

The people who have been sent out are almost all of his troops, and he has no way to deal with the remaining changes on the battlefield.

A few days ago, relying on the defense of the remaining city of Zalaha, the troops of the principality reluctantly regained part of their positions, and then opened the battle line, blocking the imperial army to the west of the line of the city of Zalaha, and at the same time controlling the situation in the county of Ferron, the internal staff of the military department has been increased, and the latest information and reference of the speaker has also been handed to him, but the troops from the various counties of the principality mentioned in those things have not been fulfilled because of the delay of the council. That's all, but a group of people who came out of nowhere raided the battlefield in the southeast part of Zaraha City, and relied on a dozen people to destroy all the defenses there, and even a few magicians stationed there were slaughtered by them, and the communication was not returned, so when Dusk knew this information, the Snow Wolf Army of the Empire had already broken through the temporary gap with the fastest speed, and burned the fire of war between the two sides in front of him.

I heard that the group was still a group of adventurers...... What a hell!

Without time to think about why there were adventurers to help the Empire, Dusk hurriedly sent his troops out and blocked the front of the Empire's elite, trying to settle the battle outside the city - if the Snow Wolf Army rushed to the Fars Fortress like this, and by the time they consolidated their battle line and the siege troops arrived, they really didn't have the confidence to block their attack, knowing that in their rear, there were still tens of thousands of Imperial troops leaking through that gap.

However, judging from the current situation, the actual results have not changed much.

There is a gap in the ability of the soldiers, the sense of battle is also insufficient, and the coordination between the troops has not even reached the level of training, these little cubs who are used to raising in the rear are no longer able to fight, and when facing the tiger and wolf like the imperial army, they are so frightened that they can't even lift their weapons, if it were not for the air support provided by the magicians standing on the walls of the fortress, this "evenly matched battle" would soon turn into a rout on their side.

However, this situation will definitely not last.

The magic of the mages is limited, and in this sudden battle, several mages have been carried down by the soldiers because of their lack of magic power, and some have been countered by the empire, and they were destroyed in the surprise attack of a small force in minutes, which made General Dusk feel distressed - after the snow wolf army stabilized the battlefield, many special forces of the empire have also entered the battlefield and exerted their respective strengths, and for the magic power of the principality, they have many ways to restrain it, In addition to a small number of magic counterparts, a large number of magic shields and anti-magic fields for individual use appear on the vast battlefield, including small special forces armed with anti-magic weapons, always keeping an eye on the location of enemy mages on the battlefield, so as to pounce on the magic units as soon as they are discovered, and inflict a devastating blow on them. With the perfect cooperation of several troops, the entire battlefield is like a training ground for the Imperial Army, and everything is constantly changing in their favor, gradually eating away at the Duchy troops, and making Dusk's face more and more pale.

If...... If that happens, the rear of Fars Fortress is a flat river, although there are a few small towns in the middle, and there are post stations, but those things must not be used as strategic points to defend, and the rest is Tania, the capital of the principality, and a bunch of adventurers' stations...... That's right! You can use those stations! But......

In a situation where something like this happens, can we trust those adventurers?

What happened on the front line has been reported, but it shouldn't have reached the hands of Hossman and Pamir so soon, but even if you hear about it, you will be extremely suspicious of the adventurers who have built it improvised outside the city...... Dusk leaned forward, his hands on the wall, his eyes still fixed on the northwest of the battlefield, but his mind couldn't help but think about other things, and what to expect after the fall. He gritted his teeth and kept waving off the signal soldiers who had reported it, shouting at the guards next to him when he saw that the troops in the northwest finally couldn't stand it anymore and fled backwards.

"Inform Jala! Let him take his own people to the top! Go to the left! His hand waved vigorously in the air: "You! And you! Get the rest of the magicians ready! We're going to give them a big gift on the walls! ”

"And ......" When all the orders were announced, he waved and called another guard: "Go and inform the people in the city, so that they can prepare ......"

"Get ready to retreat." He whispered.

"Don't be in such a hurry."

A gentle female voice suddenly appeared beside the general, startling him and the guards next to him.

"You, you, you...... Who are you! ”

The gorgeous blue robe fluttered around the woman, accompanied by a burst of violet flowers that fell back on her lap, and the woman holding the staff inlaid with a huge blue gem smiled, ignoring the general's questioning and panic.

"On the orders of the Pamirs, come to your aid." Her voice was slow, as if she were on her vacation: "To be exact...... is to assist all the principality troops. ”

She walked to the front of the city wall, and looked at the vast battlefield under her feet: "I didn't expect to encounter such a fierce battle so soon......"

Ignoring the general's rebuke behind her, Christine closed her eyes and slowly raised the staff in her hand. There was wind blowing over the walls, but the next moment it turned to a biting cold.

"Remember the person who called you...... Go clean up the battlefield. ”

These were Christine's last words—the icy blue light of the water elemental erupted from her robes, turning into a dazzling glare in the blink of an eye.

The temperature was dropping, the elements were shaking, and the entire Fars Fortress began to shake, and as the cold tide poured out of the walls, the roar of the elements was heard in the air, and that piercing roar pierced through the entire battlefield and drifted into the sky farther away.

Heaven and earth change color.

"Drink!"

Another ice ape fell under Nan Tieshan's hands, he turned around laughing, and posed a toned pose at the two "novices" behind him, showing off the monster corpses in one place.

"See, that's the power of the new weapon! Hahahaha! ”

With his hands on his hips and laughing, Nan Tieshan didn't care about the other monsters that might be attracted by this, and walked in front of the other two: "Every time [Boxing] hits the target, my attack power will increase!" This attribute is so perverted, too perverted! Hahahaha! ”

"Got it......" Duan Qing replied weakly, without the slightest conscious attitude when he was a junior brother before.

"Hahaha...... Okay, okay, I know, isn't it just that you haven't been 'sold' something, don't be so discouraged. Nan Tieshan patted Duan Qing on the shoulder: "Don't you see that she is going up the mountain, maybe you can meet her, you have to take advantage of the opportunity when the time comes!" ”

"I'll thank her so much! Hahahaha! ”

Duan Qing covered his face, not wanting to pay attention to this big man who had swelled all the way, and sat on the stone beside the road and continued to sigh.

Several people had already climbed down the trail to a considerable height, and the temperature gradually decreased with the increase in altitude, and they even had chills. During the ascension, Nantie Mountain has been cleaning up the monsters along the way, and those human-like apes have gradually turned into ice apes with snow-white hair.

It seems that they are getting closer and closer to the snow.

Due to the inexplicable refusal before, Duan Qing, who had come all the way, had begun to doubt his life, so listlessness and ignorance had become his norm, and even Xue Lingphantom Bing, who didn't talk much, couldn't stand it, and comforted him for a while along the way. But every time she said a bunch of consolatory words such as "laugh at life, one day you will be smuggled into Europe", Duan Qing would silently point to the stone hanging from her waist, and then look at the other party with resentful eyes.

【Water Stone (empty)】

[A gem that contains the energy of the water element, but after a long period of loss, the power in it has disappeared.] 】

[There is a possibility of regaining strength.] 】

[Special Effect: Dispelling the Mist]

"The stones you pick up are so good, why am I hated for no reason......"

"This stone is useless, and can only be used to dispel the fog now......"

"Don't try to lie to me. I still can't understand the description, this thing will obviously have room for upgrades in the future, okay? The resentment on Duan Qing's head was about to materialize: "And do you think that dispelling the fog is some kind of garbage skill, maybe we will be able to use it soon......"

“...... If you want. Snow Spirit Phantom Ice suddenly whispered, "I can give it to you." ”

"Ugh." Duan Qing's resentment was dispelled a little: "No need, it's just a broken stone, and all the stones that are more awesome than this have been crushed by me...... Hey? ”

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the front of the mountain road - the mountain road had completely narrowed at this time, and due to the height, the vegetation here was almost non-existent, and there were rocks and gravel on both sides, which had a rather barren feeling, but at this time, Duan Qing, together with Nantie Mountain, had noticed the front of the narrow mountain road.

An ice ape was stuck there, but it was much smaller.

"Hmph, little doll, the adults in your family have all been beaten away by me......" The smug Nan Tieshan clenched his fists and walked in front of the Xiaoice ape: "Are you still here......"

"What's in the way!"

He punched out and knocked the cowering Xiaoice ape flying.

The sound of squeaking and squeaking rolled out along the ramp up the hill, and then disappeared behind a certain boulder, although the situation was a little abnormal, but Nantieshan, who was on the rise, didn't care, just stood there laughing. Duan Qing looked at the small figure that was completely inconsistent with the ice ape he had encountered in the previous battle, and asked with some confusion, "Why is there a little monster standing in the way?" ”

"And after we've beaten all the monsters......"

"Hahahaha! Afraid? The whole family is dead, and of course this little doll doesn't want to survive, right, so she came out to die by herself...... Belch. Nan Tieshan, who was standing in front, laughed and turned back, and then ...... Laughter stopped suddenly.

Duan Qing followed his stunned expression and looked behind him, unsurprisingly seeing a scene that surprised him.

"Roar!"

A huge ice ape stared at the three people in front of him with two red eyes.

"Looks like they're not the only kids." In the deafening sound of beating his chest, Duan Qing pulled the snow spirit phantom ice and ran towards the front of the mountain road: "The boss of the family hasn't come out yet!" ”

"Don't panic! Don't panic! What are you afraid of, maybe it's just an empty shelf, it's just bigger......" The black-armored man in front of him shouted loudly, but judging from his trembling voice, this man's mood at this time was not as steady as he shouted, so Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Bing ran past him without hesitation.

"If you don't believe me, try it yourself......"

"What are you afraid of! Give it a try and ......"

I don't know if it was because of sticking to his self-esteem, or because he was taking care of his face, Nan Tieshan still didn't turn around and run away at the first time, but plucked up the courage to take two steps forward, but the next moment, he also gave up his previous idea and turned around and ran.

Behind him, the giant ice ape picked up a boulder next to it and smashed it in the direction of the few of them who were climbing up.
