"Otto... How long can we run?" Karen's consciousness was blurred.

The horse's hooves were hurrying, and every step seemed to run as hard as they could.

It has to run desperately, with all its strength, with all its strength!

That's right. The future star of Destiny is on the way to escape at this time.

Because behind her, there are tens of thousands of dead soldiers biting them and not letting go!

"I don't know... I don't know—" Otto trembled in fear, and even his voice unconsciously became distorted and sharp.

No one knows what happened, no one knows how these dead men came into such a deep defensive line!

Destiny has always been a paparazzi building a line of defense against Honkai, and the infection of Honkai and the power of Honkai have been resisted by Destiny from generation to generation on the side of the defense line!

It is impossible for such a large group of dead soldiers to appear within the defense line!

Unless, the line of defense is breached!

In this case, it means another, even more terrible thing.

It is now the territory of the Duchy of Prussia, and it is hundreds of miles or more away from the Alps, the most advanced line of defense!

If the power of Honkai had gone so deep...

That terrible catastrophe has already begun, and it has been going on for a long time!

What the hell is going on!

Could it be that the Mandate of Heaven Legion that has broken the defense line has collapsed on all fronts!

Otto hugged Carren tightly with his right hand, holding the reins from side to side, constantly urging the white horse to flee faster!

He couldn't help but glance back at the dead soldiers behind him, but he turned back at a faster speed, never wanting to look back!

He couldn't describe the way in which the entangled rotten flesh behind him could run as fast as the Destiny's horses!

They cried, wailed, and screamed, and they stared at the white horse in front of them with all the means they could with their human bodies but like lizards, with their feet, and even with their heads and teeth, and these dead things still had the mad pursuit of life, and now the brightest light was right in front of them, which was enough to make them completely insane!

What a hell is this?

Their bodies were covered in shattered flesh and black blood clots, and their eyes were a scarlet mess, but they could feel their desire to feed their lives. They expose their gums and bite their teeth repeatedly, as if they want to chew and swallow that light in their mouths even if they fantasize. The snake-like tongue with dark saliva accompanied by a howl spewed out a dark green mist in front of him, and when tens of thousands of dead men did this, the black mist became a large poisonous mist, containing the collapse of the mist, which eroded all the life it touched.

Everything is withering!

How to deal with such a thing!

Otto clenched his teeth.

Great fear was eating away at his psyche. He suddenly felt like throwing away the horse, and letting the horse help him resist the carrion of hell, so that he could have more time to escape, so that he could hide more safely, and let these things roll as far away as possible!

Are you kidding! I still have something to do, I have more things to invent, I can't die yet!

The fear in his heart grew stronger, and the great panic made his whole mind, the whole heart think of only one thing.

Run!

Run!

Run!

He didn't want to care where it was going, and he didn't want to care about how many people it was going to kill.

What are you kidding, these things, whoever they meet, they are directly torn apart and eaten raw!

I can't die! I'm going to do enough to save the world! So I must not die!

Just as the fear in his heart was about to make him want to roar like crazy, Karen let out a muffled grunt unconsciously.

He lowered his head and looked at the much darker girl in his arms, and the place where he was holding was the same place where she had been hit head-on by the sheep-shaped Honkai Beast.

She actually has to fight these things for the sake of that village!

This time, she was so careless that she didn't even bring all the weapons!

But she really planned to fight these broken things with her bare hands, just to let the hundreds of villagers in that village leave!

Even if you get injured later, you have to use yourself as bait to lure these things to your side, just to let those villagers flee for their lives!

Otto chattered his teeth and looked at the girl in his arms.

Kalian... Is this your choice?

We haven't found your brother yet, we haven't found Xiu yet!

Are you going to be eaten by them like this?

The hand holding the reins was a little heavier, and the rope made a cracking sound.

He gritted his teeth hard.

No, you can't give up, even if... Even if I do die... At least Karen...

He looked at the unconscious girl's face. Even though she was so weak, even though she was so gloomy now, but...

But she didn't change the light that haunted him, constantly lingering, in his mind, in his mind, in his soul!

He tried not to think about the tentacles of hell behind him that had been approaching him, but tried to think about the escape route.

The town where it is located, the back mountain you walk, and the direction you go. Everything was sketched out in his mind, and he finally determined what kind of area he was in.

Ahead, there is a trade road plank where there will be a lot of caravans resting.

To the right, there is a deserted mountainous area. If you go there, there's a chance you'll get rid of these things, but...

The horse is running out of energy.

To the left, it was the border fortress of the Spanish Empire, where at least tens of thousands of Spanish border legions were stationed.

If you go there, you have a better chance of surviving, but...

The army there will not survive a single person.

Ordinary people are on these things... It would only be a one-sided massacre, with no chance of surviving.

But...

He gritted his teeth.

Live on your own...

Tens of thousands of lives...

His hands were shaking.

He knew that once he made some kind of decision... Someone will die.

Either someone else will die, or you will die yourself.

Why, such a thing has to be decided for yourself!

He looked at the unconscious girl in his arms.

Even if... No matter how bad the situation is, as long as she's alive...

He clenched his teeth tightly, and between his foreheads, a drop of sweat slid down his body, and cold drips fell onto his body.

Right...

He made a decision.

But he looked miserable.

I'm sorry...

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, a huge horn slammed into him.

Rise!!!!

In the mournful roar of the war horse, broken pieces of flesh and bright red blood sprayed the entire sky!

Otto subconsciously hugged the girl in his arms.

But when he fell to the ground, he was thrown out of all his strength. He watched as the girl he wanted to protect broke away from his arms little by little, fell out of his arms, and lay weakly on her sparse snow-white clothes stained with fine ice chips and snow particles.

They ran too fast.

So the more they fall, the more it hurts.

In the dim line of sight, there was still an insignificant glow left in the broken torch. However, if you want to see what is going on around you, you don't need a torch anymore.

The scarlet light had illuminated every inch of the land around them.

Otto endured the pain in his body, little by little, hard at the firm frozen ground, and crawled towards the girl little by little.

"Kalian..."
