A small group of Cruz knights climbed down the steep glacial cliff and slowly approached Yuhee's corpse. The corpse was pinned to the ground in a strange posture by the huge impact of the arrow, and the undead was already dead, with a black hole in its eye socket and the fire of its soul extinguished.

The knight who took the lead couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and with a warm breath, he weaved a thin white mist in the icy canyon, and soon merged into the surrounding ice mist.

The wolves had long since receded, and there were still some wolf corpses left around, bloodstained, and broken feathered arrows everywhere. The canyon was eerily quiet, and he should have reported it immediately after confirming Youxi's death, but the eerie silence made him look around.

In a trance, he seemed to see something standing in the depths of the canyon, a beast the size of a foal standing behind the mist, its fur windless.

Startled, he looked closely, only to find that there was nothing. The beast he thought was nothing more than a mist floating in the deep valley, but even so, the knight couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

After the short ambush battle, the canyon was plunged into this strange atmosphere, and the current situation seemed to be even more terrifying than when they were still being pursued by wolves. The knight captain took a light breath, as if he was ready to take a steady, he was a member of the Knights of the Folding Sword, the best of the younger generation of the Cruz, and he would be frightened by a quiet and silent canyon, and it would be too embarrassing to say it.

But he was just about to breathe out when he realized that something seemed to be wrong around him.

"Team...... Captain ......"

A stammering voice sounded behind him, it was the voice of his subordinate. The knight suddenly looked up, and at some point, a pair of cold, scorched yellow eyes appeared in front of him.

……

"Wolf!"

Little Pelo, Brende, and Nimesis, everyone was silently waiting for the reassuring news to come back below. But all they waited for was a scream of terror.

"Bang-" There was a soft sound, and a silver-maned monster jumped down from nowhere and landed in front of everyone. The pale child, Freya's inner anxiety and restlessness seemed to become a reality in an instant.

Everyone knew that You Xi was driving the winter wolf forward, and it was the silver monster that controlled the pale son.

Bichod. Three, one after the other, fell from above and landed around the Cruz Knights, who neither let out a threatening roar nor ventured, but simply surrounded them, their heads held high, staring at the humans with cold eyes.

That look was full of wisdom that should not belong to the beast. But it is precisely this that makes people chill from the bottom of their hearts.

Freya was the first to react, she looked up, her light brown pupils shrank slightly in the morning light, and sure enough, she saw several white figures appearing on the top of the glacier's shimmering reflection.

By no time, the pale sons had run over them. In other words, when they were still confidently ambushing You Xi, these monsters had already begun to spread their encirclement.

How so?

Since the second half of yesterday night. The Pale Sons and the silver monster were never seen again, and everyone assumed that they had separated from Youxi. But now it seems that they arrived here first.

The girl from Buchi was cold in her heart, could it be that the Knights of the Broken Sword had lied to her? But what's in it for them?

She shook her head vigorously to get the ridiculous idea out of her mind, and the Cruz people were in the same boat with her at the moment, and it was unlikely that they would lie on such a question. That said, their scouts really didn't see the Pale Child behind the Winter Wolf.

She couldn't help but look at Brende on the side, and Brende's face was also blue and white. Apparently thinking of this, after Ainika's death, he was the captain of the Scout team of the Knights of the Broken Sword, and now it is clear that his work has gone wrong.

"Black Blade." Brende roared angrily.

"Captain. It's not my fault, I dare to swear in the name of the Lord of Fire, I definitely didn't see the Pale Son among the Winter Wolves...... Except for the four heads beside You Xi. The knight who was named looked aggrieved and explained in a low voice.

"It's not his fault," Freya breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the reaction of the two, and hurriedly whispered to stop the quarrel: "These monsters have gone around us, which means that they should at least arrive before You Xi, but this doesn't make sense, in that case, why did they watch You Xi go to death?" ”

"I don't know, it's probably that the silver monster has a conflict with You Xi himself." Alaya pressed her wounds and shrugged as she stared at the monsters that surrounded them.

It was one of the possibilities, but Freya instinctively felt that this was not the truth of the matter.

"Monsters, there are a lot of them!" Shouts rang out from far below the canyon, "Little Pelo, Brende, Lord Commander, be careful, they're coming at you!" ”

Then there were the sounds of fierce battles, the sounds of men and beasts fighting each other.

All the Cruz people in the front row subconsciously raised the swords in their hands, the long swords flashing bright reflections in the cold air, and confronted Bai Sensen's teeth that were bared by the monster giant wolf not far away.

The next moment, a scream suddenly came from the crowd. Everyone turned around, only to see that at some point a pale son had come among them and had bitten off the arm of a knight with a broken sword.

The knight clutched his severed bloody arm and stabbed his backhand into the left eye of the Pale Son, who let out a wail and hurried back.

The knight next to him stepped forward to protect his companion.

"Be careful, they will stealth spells!" The knight with the broken arm shouted through gritted teeth.

Everyone's faces changed.

"Watch around!" Freya shouted, remembering the tactics of the invisible ghosts she had seen in the forest, and instinctively feeling that the invisible monsters might fight in the same way.

Sure enough, a giant beast suddenly appeared on her left, and it appeared in the air like a flowing transparent liquid, opened its huge mouth, and bit at her.

But before it could bite it, a blue light appeared on Freya's armor, and it forcibly blocked the fangs from the wall of light.

"Wind Rear Bodyarmour!" Brende let out a low snort.

By this time Nimesis had stepped forward, and a sword was plunged into the throat of the stunned beast. Ever since she had met the Crystal Stag with Brando that night, with the help of the Strength Rough Stone, her entry had advanced by leaps and bounds, and the flames of gold burned in her body, and the luster of the elements was about to be born inside - and this sword was worthy of the commentary on the rapid progress of the female knight in the past few days. The tip of the sword shimmered with a faint black glow that was imperceptible to outsiders, and it shattered the dark magic protection that permeated the Pale Son's body, and pierced the monster's throat with a single sword.

The giant wolf didn't seem to think that it would die so easily, it struggled for a moment, and then collapsed with a bang.

"That's the armor he gave you." Nimesis asked as she pulled her sword back from the wolf's mouth, wiped it on her silver mane, and wiped it on her silver mane.

"Hmmm......"

"Although the half-body armor of the back of the wind is a standard armor, it is also priceless that has been handed down to this day, and it seems that he cares about you very much." Nimesis replied meaningfully. She glanced at Freya, a meaningful gaze that made her heart pound.

Freya let out a soft breath, if it weren't for the half of her body armor behind the wind, the giant wolf would have bitten her entire right shoulder, shoulder blade and chest just now, she could almost imagine the coldness of the sharp teeth penetrating her body, it was almost certain death.

Brando saved her again, and she couldn't even count the first time she had received the favor from that man.

She shook the sword in her hand and came to her senses. She didn't overdo it, trying to avoid looking at her senpai's strange gaze. She felt like it meant something else, and she didn't know how to answer.

At this time, the knight and the Pale Son had already fought together, and the Pale Son's raid caused the Cruz people to suffer heavy losses, but it has to be said that thanks to Freya's previous reminder, otherwise the current situation would not be as simple as heavy losses.

However, even so. The Knights of the Broken Sword were still scattered by the sudden appearance of the monsters, and the pale sons who emerged from the invisibility spell seemed to be pouring out from all directions, these nightmares in the winter land were not as weak and deceitful as their close relatives, as the Dusk Species, even after a thousand years of weakness. At this moment, he still retains at least the strength level of the Silver Peak to the Golden Primary, and the Cruz Knight immediately fell into a bitter battle against these tricky opponents.

Or rather, it was a bit inappropriate to fight hard, because from the very beginning, the young knights of the sword were losing ground and gradually losing their form and connection. Freya was scattered along with Nimesis, and soon only Alaya and Brende were left with her, and even little Pelo was gone.

"Your Excellency, Commander, in which direction are we going to break through?" Alaya asked, squinting at the side.

Freya shook her head, the only option they had for now was to move closer to the middle of the canyon and see if they could gather the others there.

"I still haven't figured out where this came from." Brende couldn't help but curse: "There is absolutely no way he can be wrong with the black blade, and if that silver monster is close to us, how can it watch You Xi die." Even if they have contradictions, it is easy for them to kill us, so why play this game of hide and seek with us. ”

"I've heard that cats have a habit of teasing mice." Alaya replied.

"It's not a cat, and we're not mice." Brende blocked back angrily.

Freya listened to the conversation between the two and frowned. She had the same question on her mind, and she looked up to the smooth fracture at the top of the glacier, from which every now and then a pale son jumped down and landed in the middle of the crowd.

Seeing this scene, she suddenly had a thrill and remembered something.

"Brende, do you remember where those giant wolves came from?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, they are from above the glacier, obviously."

"No, I mean last night."

Brende's face changed: "In the forest, they came from the forest. ”

"It is impossible for them to inhabit the forest, which is the territory of the winter wolf, and it is impossible for the two wolves to live together. If there is such a glacier behind the forest......"

"Wait, Commander, do you mean ......?" Brende reacted immediately.

"I remember that Brando often told some legends about the Dead Frost Forest, and in the middle of the forest was a huge labyrinth, which was the Hyberton's Sanctuary of Milos, the god of frost giants, and it occurred to me that this was not a glacier, but the outer wall of the Hibernator Temple......"

"These monsters...... It came from within the temple. ”

"What!?" Alaya finally heard the conversation between the two: "You mean, these monsters live here?" Is this their nest? This person couldn't help frowning when he heard the news, but he seemed to be very happy when he heard it: "Your Excellency, you mean that these monsters we see in front of us did not arrive here first, but are wild themselves, so they have nothing to do with that silver monster?" ”

It sounded as if he didn't have to deal with that silver monster, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

But it's a pity that Freya obviously didn't think so, and the premonition in her heart gradually became a reality, and the clues in her mind at this moment were a thousand times clearer.

She raised her head and looked at the three of them: "I want to know, if these monsters come from here, then where did the silver monster come from?" ”

Brende and Alaya's faces changed suddenly, and even Nimesis raised an eyebrow.

And it was at this moment that Freya's words were interrupted by a sharp laugh.

"Worthy of being a descendant of the goddess of war, so perceptive."

Freya's eyes widened suddenly, and she shouted, "Be careful, Brende, behind your back!" ”
