Chapter 63: The Sealed Passage
The late autumn wind has brought a little winter breath, the thick green of the mountains and fields in summer faded and changed into a dark yellow coat under the urging of the autumn wind, and the fiery red maple forest also shows its brilliant color to attract people's attention, the mottled color is like a forest painted on their own body at will, but it produces a natural beauty that makes people excited.

Smelling the sweet smell of autumn brought by the breeze, the girl stretched out her little hand to the dark blue sky, and the warm sunlight shone on the person to make people slightly drunk.
Covering the sky with his white palms, the soft sunlight flows from between his fingers, and the changing light is particularly beautiful and dazzling.
Enjoying the rare leisure time during the war, the girl lowered her palm, sighed, and turned her head to look at Zachary in front of her.
He sat on his warhorse, one hand grasping the reins, and the other hand in front of his eyes, looking out at the unseen rolling hills of the plains of Lydea in the distance.
Different from the snow forest I saw on the frozen plateau of the Orc Kingdom ten days ago, a pure snow white, and also different from the green forests around my hometown when I was a child, and the hills in the distance are patches of yellow and green mixed forests, the autumn scenery of the northern continent.
The golden wheat fields rose and fell like waves in the majestic wind, and although the smoke of war had been filling the border of Leine for more than two months, the farmers in the fields were still smiling happily at the delightful harvest in front of them.
Retracting Zachary, who was looking out at the gray-white cliffs in the distance, he couldn't help but smile when he happened to see the farmer's satisfied smile.
When he first came to this world, even though he was already very familiar with many things in the game of his previous life, he still inevitably felt helpless, especially after discovering that even his own race had completely changed, until he found himself a so-called goal to save Faisal.
Maybe if his target was known to his friends in his previous life, he would definitely be called a, but so what, the corners of Zachary's mouth rose slightly as he looked at the farmer's satisfied smile, no matter what, there was always nothing wrong with guarding such a smile.
"Zachary." The girl's shouts from behind him brought Zachary back to his senses.
"What's wrong" glanced back, and happened to look at the girl with a puzzled look.
Regardless, it wasn't the time for them to enjoy such a leisure, but they were brought here by Zachary.
"Why did you bring us here?" Joanna glanced around, and although the scene made her feel at peace, it was the time of the war, and they were supposed to be fighting in the fortress, but they were brought here by Zachary.
And Joanna's inquiry also made Raphael and Amy, who were following behind, look approving, and they also felt that they should be fighting to the death against the orcs in the fortress at this time, and then earn the military merit that allowed them to be promoted.
But they were brought here at this time by their squadron leader Zachary, and they were brought here at a time when the war was raging, which made them really incomprehensible and helpless.
Seeing the confused looks on his men's faces, Zachary shrugged and didn't explain much.
At this time, it had been more than ten days since they reported the news that the orcs were going to cross the Andes Mountains to attack the fortress of Baier to the upper echelons of the fortress, although the orc army really crossed the Andes Mountains as in the previous game, and only launched a surprise attack after a short rest, but when the army of the fortress Nelena was prepared, they were doomed to return in vain, and they could only retreat to the mountains with the remnants of the defeated brigade.
Zachary, who has made such a great achievement, will naturally not lack rewards, the title promised by the Marquis of Seris has already been notified to the royal capital, just need to wait, and the promotion of the rank, Jonathan also promised to expand his troops and promote him to the deputy captain of the cavalry wing of the Fourth Legion.
However, Zachary unexpectedly took advantage of the opportunity of his meritorious service to ask for a month off, and also wanted to bring Joanna Raphael and Amy with them, although he didn't understand why Zachary did this, but Marquis Seris waved his hand when he was in a happy mood.
Retracting his chaotic thoughts, turning his head to look at the hills in the distance, the corners of Zachary's mouth flashed a wry smile, at this time, no one knew that there was an evil empire on the western continent near the Andes Mountains that was peeking at the eastern continent.
When the kingdom of Reiner and the kingdom of orcs on this side of the mountain range were at war fiercely, the dark empire that had caused disaster to the Eastern Continent that had almost swept the entire continent, Dias, watched the war with his bloody eyes.
It's just that the majestic and precipitous Andes Mountains are not only blocking the cold current flowing down from the permafrost plateau, but also blocking the body of the Lydian Plain and blocking the peep of the Dias Dark Empire on the Eastern Continent, so that only some strong people can climb over this barrier and come to the Eastern Continent.
At this time, the passage between the two continents of the East Continent and the West Continent has not yet been opened, and Zachary does not know whether there will be players coming to this world anymore, and whether there will be players from the West Continent to open this passage.
"Let's go."
It was getting late, and Zachary looked at the sun, but luckily there was a small town not far in front of them, Santos.
This town was not famous in the previous game, or at this time, because in the year of the Spark, the year when the war first broke out, it was also the time when players first entered the game, and the only players who were active here were players who chose this place as their birthplace.
But a few years later, a passage connecting the two continents of Faisal was unsealed by the stupid actions of a player who was tempted by the dark empire of Dias with profits, and countless dark soldiers swarmed out of this passage. Countless players and NPCs from the good faction have left their precious lives here to save the fool from his mistakes.
And the reason why Zachary came here at this time was not to remember the heroic spirits who had been lying here in his previous life, but to open the seal of this passage.
It's not that Zachary is stupid, he knows very well what it means to open this passage to the Eastern Continent, once the seal left by the sages on the passage is broken, the evil forces will bring the darkness to the entire Eastern Continent again.
However, unlike the player in the game who was blinded by a small profit in the previous life, Zachary wanted to open a crack in the seal, although he was not a magician proficient in sealing magic in his previous life, but as the leader of a legendary team, a full-level legendary peak knight, he has also been exposed to a lot of content in this regard, not to mention that at the beginning of the seventh chapter of the main game Catastrophe, players in the Eastern Continent have studied this seal on the forum I don't know how many times.
This passage is called a portal, which is actually a gathering point for several portals connecting the western and eastern continents, and it is one of the portals that Zachary wants to unlock, a portal to the junction of the tundra plateau and the Lydian plain.
After communicating with Scrooge, the third prince of the Orc Kingdom, Zachary knew that it was impossible to dispel the Orc's desire for land, unless a very strong external force was inserted, so that they had to suppress the desire in their hearts and concentrate their mental power to deal with this external force.
And the powerful evil country in the Western Continent, the Dias Dark Empire, which has invaded the Eastern Continent many times, is a good external force.
