A few points of light snow fell, silent, and the gray sky seemed to never see the sun, like the stacked and solidified clouds were full of floating corpses, and there was an extremely oppressive atmosphere in the air.

The Initial Town of Pieta, the gateway to the north, can confirm that a traveler has set foot on the northern land when he enters this very wealthy town.

The town of Pieta is surrounded by undulating mountains with perennial snow and ice on one side, and snowy forests on the other. The style of architecture in the town is more diverse, with single houses having both spires and domes, of course, such buildings are generally owned by monasteries or local nobles, and most of the ordinary houses still have herringbone roofs.

When Joni arrived in the town of Pieta on the northern border, she instantly felt that the whole town was filled with a deep sense of unease and anxiety.

In his perception, there were already seven or eight demonic qi in the center of the town, and just behind him, there were unfamiliar demonic qi approaching. This kind of massiveness of fighters, which previously only happened within the organization, now appears in a small town inhabited by ordinary people, which naturally brings panic.

The small towns and villages where the big sword appears, there are often demons, this is already a law that ordinary people know, and it is easy to launch, the more the number of big swords, it means that the number of demons is also large, or there are very powerful demons.

In either case, it will dramatically increase the stress on the minds of the residents of Pieta.

After entering the town, you can see orange light shining through the windows of the buildings next to the road, and there are many of them, and it seems that most of the townspeople are hiding in their rooms.

This is probably the only warm color that can be seen in the north.

But Jonny also saw two families preparing their wagons in front of their homes and loading their luggage.

It doesn't have to be like this, she was slightly surprised, and when the warriors were assembled, they would set off to crusade against the Awoken, and it shouldn't have any effect other than the fright caused by the presence of a large number of warriors.

I just don't know what the number of "plural" awakened people is in the intelligence...... Probably no more than three, right?

With a worried thought, she turned the corner and saw the entrance to Pietta's town square. On this street, in addition to some peeking out from behind the windows of the houses, there are also some curious people watching the situation in the square from a distance.

A few white figures were distributed on the flat ground of the large square, and the snow layer was scattered on the ground very thinly, and in some places the dark surface of the ground would be exposed, but this matched the public impression that the great swords were cold and ruthless, and rejected people thousands of miles away.

The iron shoe touched the ground with a crisp crashing sound, as if to remind the crowd ahead to give way.

Joni habitually ignored the fearful and cowering gazes of passers-by, and entered the town square with a blank face.

The square is square as a whole, there are a total of six square pillars of more than ten meters high standing at the entrance and on both sides, it is very magnificent, the houses where the residents live on both sides, the center is behind the middle, it is a semi-circular stone platform that is higher than the ground, there are several steps up and down, behind the round platform is a tall stone sculpture, like the content of the hero saving the beauty, and behind the stone carving, it is a very luxurious aristocratic mansion.

Although now the door is closed.

As teammates on a mission, the warriors who were gathered did not get along as harmoniously as Jonny expected...... If you know each other, you stand together in pairs, and if you don't know each other, you find a corner and stand by yourself, and there is almost no communication between them.

And Joni herself, fortunately saw the face she knew, it was a warrior who was her own contemporary.

Does it seem to have come too early? Joni thought as she greeted her contemporaries.

And everyone is too nervous, under the calm on the surface, there is a deep uneasiness, in this state, how to deal with the awakened?

……

The temperature on the mountains is much colder.

The whistling wind, wrapped in ice and snow that could cut his cheeks, made Li Fang can't help but pull the scarf that had covered his lips higher, and with the thick cloak on his body, he now only had a pair of eyes exposed.

It was a difficult time, but it was the only place to avoid the perception of the gathered greatswords and observe the situation in the town of Pieta.

He looked down at the lonely human town on the vast ice and snow land, and there were memories in his eyes.

It was here that one of the most tragic battles of the Northern War took place.

"Don't stay outside for a long time, come back quickly," a familiar voice suddenly interrupted his memories from behind, and the owner of the voice reminded: "Ai Hua said that at this distance, the skill is still effective." ”

Li Fang turned around, a smile appeared on his face, and a thinly dressed woman was coming out of the cave with a faint glow of fire.

"Okay, I'm going to practice with them again."

Walking into the crooked cave, the temperature instantly rose a lot, and Li Fang bared his nose and breathed in the much warmer air. The space inside the cave was unexpectedly large, and the orange and reddish firelight illuminated all the crevices.

There were a few resting people around the fire, where Aihua, Jane, Constance, Kelly, and Kadia were.

They walked all the way with Li Fang and Annabelle to come here, and now, they are training to adapt to the sudden increase or decrease in equipment on their bodies.

Jane and the others were still very resistant to walking with the Awakened.

After Liv Lu left that day, although Annabelle explained that she had not eaten human internal organs since she woke up, and there was evidence of mugwort, they still had a hard time believing it, and even wanted to leave with mugwort and find their own way out. But when Li Fang revealed that the organization had sent many warriors to the north to stop the army of the Awakened, and hoped to go together to "support", they stopped leaving.

Although the Great Swords rarely have the opportunity to meet, they each have some companions they know. Friendship is one of the few emotions they can fully experience, and the friendship accumulated after a bloody battle together is even more precious, so they are willing to go to the north together.

If there is a friend of her own among the soldiers sent to the north on this dangerous mission, even if she is discovered by the organization, she must be taken away, and if she can't go, then fight side by side again!

Although Li Fang knew the news of the assembly of the great swords in the north before, the news was actually told to Li Fang by Octavia, who stayed behind and waited when Annabelle went to capture the twins that day.

Octavia is very keen to gather information about the Order and the Abyssal Ones, and on her way to the West, she senses several demonic spirits heading north, so it is speculated that the Order will gather a group of warriors in the north to stop the Awoken army of Isli.

Just as Li Fang predicted to her at the beginning.

As for the specific location is the town of Pieta, this is what they found themselves, and it is quite convenient to have a secret medicine.

Li Fang still remembers that when she was waiting for Anna to come back with Octavia, she asked herself a question: Why are you quite enthusiastic about things that ordinary people can't hide, and now you dare to stay by the side of the cannibalistic awakened, aren't you afraid of death?

The firelight illuminated the great swords in the cave, and their eyes all looked at Li Fang, who had just walked in.

"That support skill seems to have quite a lot of range." Ai Hua said.

"Well, as long as you look at the use of the fighter, it should have a miraculous effect." Li Fang nodded in response, his gaze sweeping over their still somewhat surprised gazes.

He remembered how he had answered Octavia's question in the first place.

I don't want to see some people die like that......
