The team made its way east, encountering almost no of the expected enemies.

There were no elite Crystal Cluster Legions, no large force to return to the army, and along the way, the army led by Gawain himself encountered only a few small wandering Crystal Clusters - those monsters that had lost control wandered aimlessly between the plains and hills, and when they saw the chariots, they rushed up desperately, and then they were easily wiped out, which was not a threat at all.

This continued until the crumbling walls of Boulder City came into view of the observers.

The soldier car serving as an observer returned to the car, took off the multifunctional tactical eyepiece, and had some consternation on his face: "Report, a large number of frozen marks have been found ahead, and there is a wide-area magic reaction!" ”

Amber's gaze looked through the observation hole in the carriage and looked at the ruins outside, and she saw a large area of frost covering the surface of the collapsed bricks and wooden beams, and the tiny blood stained the ice crystals hanging between the ruins and broken walls, and the amount of ice and snow on the outskirts of the city was not very large, but as the team went deeper and deeper, a world that could be described as ice and snow gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Thick ice blankets the inner city, the remains of countless corpses reduced to icy sculptures, the howling wind whips up layers of snowflakes and pounds on the steel armor of the tanks, and the core of the city is covered with ice so powerful that it is suspected that winter has returned to the world - in what should have been a hot season.

Amber looked at the scene outside in amazement and couldn't help but mutter, "This is ...... What's going on......"

"A very strong ...... Wide-area magic, legendary level," Wright couldn't help but stumble to himself, "I've never seen a spell like it. ”

"White Knight, get out of the car and walk," Gao Wen thoughtfully looked at the frozen city outside through the observation port, and then suddenly ordered, "The rest of the car crew and soldiers are on guard and march at a low speed. ”

The armored truck in which the White Knight rode quickly stopped, and Wright led his elite priests to jump out of the truck and reach the front of the group with a warhammer in hand.

Gawain also left the car with Amber and Maggie, and he jumped to the ground, his metal boots stomping heavily on the hard ice, and the latter made an illusory, ethereal crisp cracking sound that was clearly not what normal ice crystals were supposed to make.

Gawain bent down and picked up a few pieces of broken ice, and then slowly crushed them as he poured magic into them, and the seemingly physical ice cubes immediately cracked crisply, and then turned into magical dust that drifted away with the wind, dissolving into the air little by little.

Amber's eyes widened when she saw this scene: "Ah...... All this ice is made with magic? ”

"It's been a long time since I've seen this...... Snow's 'Cold Calamity'," Gawain remembered in his mind, and he sighed softly as he looked at Maggie next to him with a slightly dazed face, "When did Victoria break through to the peak of the legend?" ”

"The pinnacle of legends? No...... Victoria, she's supposed to be just a legendary junior ......" Maggie was stunned for a moment, then asked nervously, "You know what's going on here, don't you?" Why is it so quiet here - both the enemy and the mountain legions seem to be ......"

"Don't be nervous," Gawain interrupted Maggie, "now that this place is frozen, she and the Mountain Legion must still be alive." Of course, something extra should also be alive......"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers exploring the path in front of him suddenly shouted: "Sir! There are a lot of frozen giants here! ”

It was a scene that will never be forgotten - the countless crystalline giants were frozen in the ice, covered in a layer of clear ice, as if they were wearing strange armor and stood in the sunlight, they gathered in groups in the squares, staircases and roads of the castle district, and maintained their various postures when they assembled, as if they did not realize that winter was coming until the moment of freezing.

It seems that most of the Crystal Giants besieging Boulder City have been left behind.

Amber looked at the gruesome scene in front of her in shock, and only suddenly spoke up after a long time: "This is the Duke of the North?" If only she had the skills...... Why didn't you use it sooner......"

"This is the legendary spell 'Cold Calamity', but I suspect that Victoria can't use it proficiently, and if he is not skilled, Cold Calamity can't kill any enemy - Victoria should have used this spell after realizing that there were reinforcements, and temporarily left the Crystal Cluster Legion that could have returned to the Red Maple in time to return to the Red Maple," Gawain said casually about his guess, and at the same time sighed a little emotionally, "It doesn't look like Snow back then, Snow played this hand of Cold Plague back then......"

Wright came to Gawain's side: "What are we going to do with this...... Ice sculpture? ”

"Shatter, shatter while they're still frozen," Gawain glanced at the heavy hammers in the hands of the white knights, then at the chariots and soldiers around them, and finally at the crystal giants, "just keep the largest one, lock it up in advance, and maybe send it back to the rear as research materials after the 'thaw'." ”

"They'll still thaw?!" Wright was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly ordered the soldiers to carry out Gawain's order, "Hurry up and smash these ice sculptures ......"

The White Knights picked up their hammers and began to save the souls that had fallen into twisting, while Gawain strode towards the ramp not far away: "Let's go inside and see how Victoria is doing, the center of the cold disaster seems to be the inner courtyard of the castle, she should be waiting for us inside." ”

In the inner courtyard of the castle, Gawain, Amber and the others soon found the Mountain Legion, which was also in a frozen state, and the Victorian Archduchess, who was surrounded by the knights and mages of the Mountain Legion.

The last of the mountain legions and their monarchs were frozen in the artificial iceberg in the inner court area, far thicker than the outside of the ice layer frozen nearly two-thirds of the entire inner court into a whole, I am afraid that the white knight's war hammer could not shake it, through the crystal clear ice, Gawain could clearly see those tired but resolute soldiers, see those scarred knights, see those mages and attendants who have drawn their short swords, and of course, can also see the staff holding the staff, Victoria, who still has the last expression when it was frozen?? Wilder.

After seeing Victoria, who was also frozen, Gawain's expression looked a little surprised.

Everyone was shocked by the power and splendor of this legendary spell, and Gawain temporarily put away his surprise and began to explain the situation of this spell according to the information in his memory: "Snow?? Wilde created the Chill Plague back then, it is a spell that can temporarily freeze the entire battlefield, and the summoned ice cubes can even freeze the weaker legendary powerhouses into it, but it is actually not lethal in itself - all ice cubes are the products of magic, and the frozen units are only temporarily stuck in the magic field, and as the cold plague ends, the magic field dissipates, and the frozen target will regain the ability to move freely, so it can only be used to temporarily control the field, but it does not have direct lethality......"

"Why do I think there's something wrong with this spell...... Amber looked at the huge iceberg in the inner courtyard with a strange expression, "and if the caster is frozen in it with him...... What else is the use of this 'cold plague'? Let's freeze up for a while and calm down, and then wait for the 'ice' to melt and continue to fight? ”

Gawain glanced in Victoria's direction, and after a short groan, he said, "That's the case, Snow didn't freeze himself into the cold plague back then......

"I can't figure out how Victoria froze herself together."

Amber: "...... Yes? ”

It took Wright and his priests a long time to complete Gawain's order, and they smashed all the "ice sculptures" found in the inner city of the castle - or hammered every frozen crystal cluster to death, while Gawain, who was guarding the inner courtyard of the castle, waited longer for the effects of the cold plague to end and for the magic to dissolve.

In front of everyone's eyes, the huge iceberg disintegrated and dissipated almost instantly, and the survivors of the mountain legion frozen inside regained consciousness one by one, and the minds of these loyal warriors seemed to be still stagnant in their previous state, they were first driven by instinctive inertia for a while, and then they were stunned to find that there were strange soldiers standing around them.

Gawain waited until the chaos had subsided a little before stepping forward, stepping over the undissipated magic crystals in the air, and holding out his hand to Victoria, who was stunned, "I didn't expect to meet in this state - fortunately, I didn't come too late." ”

"It's you...... Are you attacking Red Maple?! Victoria seemed to react and stretched out her hand slowly—this kind of disgrace was not common in the Grand Duchess, but it all seemed understandable given the events she had just experienced, "I really didn't expect it...... Ah, those monsters outside the castle......"

"It's been dealt with, I know the 'Cold Calamity'," Gawain said with a smile, "but I'm curious, aren't you worried that there are people who don't know about the Cold Calamity approaching here?" When the ice is lifted, the sudden return to activity of the Crystal Giants can mean great danger. ”

"Throughout Ansu, those who are capable of coming to the rescue of the Mountain Legion are certainly aware of the 'Chill', which is the symbolic power of the Wilde family," said Victoria, "but ...... I really didn't expect it to be you......"

"I'm afraid that only the southern border in the entire Ansu still has a complete military force now," Gawain shook his head, and then looked at Wright, who had just returned from his mission, "You took the white knights to treat the wounded, there are many people here who need first aid and healing techniques." Besides, go get food and prepare clean water......"

The soldiers immediately began to act, and the intense and orderly rescue work was immediately launched, and the wounded soldiers of the Mountain Legion were quickly effectively treated and comforted, and the large amount of food and water brought with them replenished the physical strength of these tired people.

In the midst of a tense and busy and orderly rescue, Victoria forced herself to ask Gawain about the current external situation.

"It's a pity that the Knights of the Royal Capital don't have the ability to turn the tide, and they should be doing their best to defend the city of Saint-Sunil. The Legion of the West has not yet appeared near the Gorgon River, and they may be directly filled into the battlefield of St. Sunil. The Legion of the Easterns has been wiped out, and the entire Eastlands are currently uncontrolled, and I am trying to find a way to maintain order there......"

Gawain talked about the information he had, but each of these pieces of information made Victoria's mood even lower.

"I didn't expect the situation to get so bad......" The Duchess frowned, she was usually a person who rarely showed rich expressions, but today all her expressions were no longer hidden, and the whole person even looked extraordinarily vivid, "I thought that there would be a part of the main force in the East to fight against this disaster...... But I didn't expect them to be worse off than the Mountain Legion. ”

"This disaster was the first to erupt from their side," Gawain said, then looking at Victoria with some curiosity, "Actually, there is one thing I'm curious about...... Why did your cold plague freeze yourself too? As far as I know, Snow didn't have a problem with the caster freezing when he created this spell. ”

Victoria was silent for a moment, and the atmosphere at the scene seemed a little awkward for a few seconds.

"Actually, I didn't master this spell......" The Duchess finally had to tell her calmly, she took out the pale golden snowflake talisman inherited by the family, and her tone was quite ashamed, it was a shame for her ancestors, "The cold plague has lost its inheritance many generations ago, and this symbol of strength of the Wilde family has always been built on this amulet. ”

Did the Wild House of the North lose their heritage of the "Cold Plague" many generations ago......

Gawain suddenly sighed in his heart, feeling the power of the passage of time, but soon, his eyes were attracted by the unique material luster of the talisman in Victoria's hand.

"Do you know where the materials used to make this amulet came from? Have you melted a tablet of eternal stone?! ”
