Andesa Wendell frowned as she looked at the infiltration soldiers returning from the Dark Mountains.

The infiltration of the Dark Mountains failed, and although Andesa had considered the possibility of failure at first, she didn't expect it to be so soon, let alone that the powerful elven ranger didn't come back.

According to the information brought by the withdrawn soldiers, the first half of the infiltration operation went unusually well, and it can be said that they easily bypassed the "Dark Mountain Pass" of the eastern Ansu defense line, but the situation took a turn for the worse when they approached the legendary pioneer territory in the southeast of Ansu - a team suddenly lost contact, and according to the clues found later, it can be determined that they were attacked by the Ansu army and wiped out, and then the home team led by Solderlin went to investigate, and the result was also quickly lost.

None of them had time to send any news back - not even the Messenger Worm had time to release it, which was only possible in the event of an instantaneous devastating blow.

So the other squads quickly retreated, not staying even a quarter of an hour.

The soldiers made the right choice, if even the home team led by Thorderlin would be wiped out in an instant, then the weaker junior team would only be able to continue to operate, and it would be a dead end to retreat, and it would save some living forces and bring the information that had been discovered back to the commander, but this did not make the young wolf general feel better in the slightest - rather, after confirming the existence and threat of the pioneer territory, her mood became worse.

That frontier territory is real, and judging by its strength, that Gawain Cecil is also real - if not a real ancient hero, at least a powerful figure cultivated by Ansu and comparable to the level of the Duke of the Three Realms...... They were aware of the major problems in the territorial defense line in time and have already begun to remedy them.

It was just before Typhon's official attack.

Andesa told the soldiers to go back to rest, and she went to her desk, spreading out a huge map in front of her.

According to the information that the infiltration force finally brought back, she could probably deduce the location of the pioneer territory - it was at the end of the lower reaches of the Whitewater River, near the beginning of the eastern extension of the Dark Mountains, with the Dark Mountains in the back, the river in front, and large open plains and dense forests on both sides.

This mysterious pioneer territory seems to be an abyss in Andelsa's eyes, knowing that it is there, but unable to find out what is in it, which makes the always competitive wolf general feel extremely unhappy, but as the excellent heir of the Wendell family, Andesa still quickly suppressed the restless mentality of the young man, she exhaled softly, took a pen and paper from the side, and began to write a letter:

"Reported by the Winter Wolf Fortress...... There is indeed a weak point in the Dark Mountain Pass, which can bypass the defense line of the eastern border of Ansu...... Cecil's Frontier Territory does exist and should have a strong military deployment, but the exact situation is still a mystery...... The rest of the defense line is business as usual, there is no more movement on the Ansu side, and the last few days have ......"

A noise from outside interrupted Andesa's writing, and the young wolf general raised his head with a frown, and asked in a loud voice, "What's going on outside?" ”

The heavy wooden door of the room was pushed open, and a close guard walked in: "Commander! There are ...... on the plain in front of the fortress Something strange is approaching! ”

"Strange stuff?" Andesa was unhappy with such a statement, "Be clear. ”

"Good...... It looks like a giant humanoid monster! Running out from the direction of the Dark Mountains! ”

The loud bells had already sounded, mixed with sharp trumpets and the shouts of commanders at all levels, and the Winter Wolf Fortress had made the most correct response to the unknown—the gates were quickly closed, the soldiers came to the walls to prepare for defense, the hot oil and heavy logs were pushed to the edge of the battlements, and on the vast snowfield opposite the front of the wall, groups of ominous red clouds were gathering.

Andesa came to the city wall, and the sharp gaze of the high knight made her see what the monsters on the plains looked like, and for the first time, the youngest female winter wolf commander in history, showed a look of surprise: "That's ...... What is it?! ”

Huge blood-colored humanoids swayed on the plains, they were like mythical and legendary ancient giants, with a huge body size far superior to humans, but there were no human facial features and body details, as if blood-colored mud-like things were wriggling and flowing on their bodies, and the faceless head was so terrifying that even Androsa couldn't help but feel her scalp tingle when she saw a large group of such giants walking towards the fortress!

It was the most profane, twisted, and terrible nightmare that would ever be, and yet here they were, in front of the Winter Wolf Fortress!

"Push the trebuchet up! Monsters of this size have to be dealt with with by trebuchets! Andesa immediately shouted, "You, and you, go and call the mages and let them go up to the Battle Mage Tower!" ”

And while Andesa quickly set up defenses, the huge humanoid monsters that were shaking on the plains also began to speed up - they seemed to finally "smell" the smell of living people and magic, and in an instant they got excited from their chaotic wandering state, these terrible monsters roared silently, lowered their heads and launched a fierce charge towards the Winter Wolf Fortress, while some of the monsters with spell-casting abilities raised their arms high in the process of charging, Clusters of arrows of chaotic energy with ominous black-red glow screeched through the air, cutting across the long parabola and striking hard against the sturdy walls of the Winter Wolf Fortress.

Under the corrosion of this inexplicable energy, the solid wall tiles quickly weathered and cracked like fragile sand!

Even in places where there are no direct hits from energy arrows, the surface of the city wall shows a clear tendency to be fragile!

Andesa immediately noticed the corrosive effect of those Chaos Energy Arrows, and realized how terrifying this thing was - although with the thickness of the walls of the Winter Wolf Fortress, the damage caused by these energy arrows was not fatal in a short period of time, but the effect of "denatured" the rocks was weakening the strength of the entire castle as a whole!

"Stop them!" Andesa drew her long sword and slashed out a silvery-white shockwave, killing the spell-casting monster that rushed to the front, "Don't let them get close to the wall!" ”

A chaotic and strange battle erupted in front of the Winter Wolf Fortress.

At the same time, in the newly built arsenal led by Cecil, Byron solemnly presented a one-handed sword with a strange shape and wonderful beauty to Gawain.

"My lord, the first finished product of the melt cutting sword has been successfully tested."

Gawain's heart grew filled with joy as he carefully observed this brand-new weapon, which had been the result of countless efforts by technicians and forgers.

It's a beautiful weapon, beautiful and deadly—it has a deep hue throughout, and its near-black blade and grip reflect the precise beauty of an industrial product. It was a single-edged sword, more of a combination of a sword and a slash in Gawain's view: its spine was straight and stiff, an array of runes could be seen on the black metal that dissipated heat and reinforced, and the blade was slightly curved at the front and took on a deep blue color. The hilt of this sword is thicker and more complex than that of a normal one-handed sword, and on the inside of its gauntlet, a less obvious trigger structure can be seen, its position and size are specially designed to ensure that it is not affected when the soldier fights with the sword, and a toggle safety device can be seen next to the trigger - this prevents the sword from being accidentally activated during carrying and accidentally injuring the wearer.

Gawain reached for the melted sword that was a sample, and swung it twice at random: the sword was a little lighter for him, but it was still exceptionally easy to use, and it was evident that the craftsmen had listened carefully to the advice of the Byronic knights when designing the sword.

"I've reduced some of the weight of the sword and adjusted the center of gravity so that it still has a good balance," the Byron knight explained, "A lighter sword saves the soldier's stamina, and because the molten sword itself relies on a high-heat blade to kill, rather than relying on gravity and inertia to break through armor like a normal slasher, the weight reduction does not affect the lethality of the sword itself." ”

Gawain nodded, then activated the High Temperature Blade.

With an extremely slight sound in the hilt, the energy stored in the mana capacitor was transmitted to the heated rune buried inside the blade, and the burning rune that was originally used to create a magic trap began to work, and Gawain saw that the originally deep lilac blade quickly began to redden, and in just a second or two, it became hot and shiny, like a solidified golden-red flame covering the sword body.

Its heat hadn't escaped, so standing around the Molten Sword would only feel a slight heat, but Gawain tried to press the blade against a nearby iron plate for testing, and almost easily cut the iron plate into two pieces—it felt like cutting a piece of hard butter.

Gawain didn't have a gauntlet, he seriously felt the heat of the hilt, and asked the magic guide technician next to him with some curiosity: "How did you solve the problem of heat insulation and the stability of the melting sword itself?" ”

"My lord, the purple steel blade of the molten sword and the sword body are not one, we have added a heat insulation layer mixed with quartz sand and crystal dust in the middle, and relied on the purple steel rivets that run through the spine of the sword to complete the connection. Rivets still transfer some of the heat, so we have added a rune array around the rivets to enhance heat resistance, and added a heat dissipation structure on the spine of the sword, so that all the heat will be channeled in time and will not burn the molten sword itself or hurt the user. ”

"Won't the strength of the sword body be reduced because of this?"

"There will be a slight decrease, but because the purple steel itself is a very strong and stable magical material, and the refined steel we forge now is itself stronger than the steel of the past, the strength of this sword is still enough - and most of the time, it doesn't need to be 'hard-hitting'."

At this time, the Byron knight mentioned next to him: "Of course, if the energy is exhausted or other unavoidable circumstances, the soldiers can still use this sword to fight the enemy to the death - the purple steel blade itself is sharp enough, and it is no problem to use it as an ordinary sword in a short time." ”

"Very good," Gao Wen gently waved the molten sword in his hand, and the sharp blade containing the astonishing high temperature cut a dazzling streamer in the air, "The safety of the territory is another guarantee." ”
