I don't know how long I slept, Luo Yin only felt a heat in the back of his head, so he opened his eyes, but found that he was in a nameless barren place in the cold night, with cold rain raging and cold wind.

It turned out to be an island.

Beyond the island, it was a gloomy and gloomy place. There is a storm on the top, and a vicious wave on the bottom. At this moment, the sea is like an apocalyptic hell, full of whirlpools, storms, and lightning in the sky.

He walked for some time until he came to a ruined hall. Raised his eyes and looked at the inner wall around him, it seemed to be a temple and a palace, which was already dilapidated, and only the ruins of the wall remained. There seems to be a painting on the broken and collapsed wall, but it is not real because it is covered with mottled moss.

There seemed to be countless unknown things lingering around the hidden place, and from time to time there was a crisp sound of crackling and peeling. When he followed the sound to look for it, it was just a void, nothing. But in the chaos, something seemed to be attracting him, and a few faint beams of light suddenly appeared in front of him, flickering and disappearing like fireflies.

He followed the light and walked forward with trepidation, through a corridor supported by huge stone pillars. On the dome of the corridor, there is a sea of stars, lightning and flint, there are all living beings suffering, and there is a god envoy holding a halberd to kill the double evil dragon. At the end of the corridor is an inner hall built of huge stones, which is empty and lonely, overgrown with weeds, bleak and empty.

Luo Yin stopped outside the temple gate a little nervously, and shouted twice "Is there anyone?" but only the echo was empty.

Luo Yin hesitated for a moment, slowly raised his feet and stepped into the temple door, and as soon as his front feet fell, the hall lit up. From the top of the temple, out of nowhere, a pillar of golden light fell, as if the sunlight was leaking from the sky, and it was caught off guard, which made people startled. The four walls of the hall are covered with incave inscriptions, and it is impossible to see which part of which country's text, but under the light, the flow is overflowing. Luo Yin came back to his senses, only to find that in front of the main hall in the hall, there was a statue of a god that was one foot high, wearing a wide-eaves pointed hat, wearing a purple flowing cloud robe, with both hands and sleeves on his chest, a pair of black eyes that were not angry and self-threatening, a white face * solemn, the face was like a god and a beast, and his demeanor was neither human nor demon.

When he looked closely, Luo Yin was startled, only to see that at the foot of the statue, shrouded in golden light, I don't know when there was a figure. The man, dressed in green clothes, knelt on the ground with his back to the statue of the god. Luo Yin felt that this person was very familiar and familiar, but he couldn't guess who it was. In a trance, a voice suddenly sounded in the hall, like a bell, echoing endlessly, but Luo Yin couldn't hear what the voice was saying, only to feel dizzy, and his eyes became blurred for a while.

After a moment, the sound died abruptly, and there was silence. Luo Yin couldn't help but shout at the kneeling man, "Hey, may I ask ......"

The man followed the sound and slowly turned his head. When the four eyes met, Luo Yin was shocked and mistaken, although the face was haggard and full of traces of time, but Luo Yin still recognized it at a glance, it was himself!

"What's going on?"

Before Luo Yin came back to his senses, a bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the golden pillar of light, and there was a thunderous sound, which hit Luo Yin, who was kneeling in front of the statue, and his eyes widened, and he fell to the ground. Frightened, she was shocked and immediately woke up from her dream.

His face was covered in cold sweat, and he sat in a daze for a moment before he came to his senses. Look out the window, it's dawn. "Actually, it's ...... again That dream. Luo Yin muttered.

The dream felt so real to him that he was still so caught up in the retrospection and contemplation of the dream for a long time, that he was completely unaware that he had woken up and was looking at him curiously.

You Qiruo sat on the edge of the adjacent bed, looking at Luo Yin with a pale face and scattered eyes, he couldn't help but wonder for a while, so he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Luo Yin's eyes, but he never thought that this guy didn't react at all. You Qiruo was anxious for a while, so he simply got up and slapped Luo Yin on the shoulder, Luo Yin was in pain, and then the Yuan Shen returned to his place and looked at You Qiruo with wide eyes.

"Ah, what's wrong, what's wrong, what's wrong, are you going to?" Luo Yin said in a panic.

"You don't have to go out to exercise today! You forgot? There are still a few days before we go out, and the governor has told us to rest for a few days, so we don't need to go out to exercise. You said with a hesitant face.

"Oh, I see. Luo Yin patted his head, and then remembered.

"What's wrong with you?

"Oh, it's just a dream, and I can't tell the difference between the inside and the outside of the dream for a while. ”

"It's not a good dream, just look at the way you look without a soul. ”

Hearing this, Luo Yin squinted at You Yaruo, and only hummed after a while. He was still thinking in his heart, this dream was so strange.

And at this moment, in the far north of Cedar City, it is snowing heavily, and the soldiers in the city are resting with the gates closed. Two days earlier, they had resisted the onslaught of a wave of sacrificial vanguard armies on the battlefield north of the city, suffering heavy casualties, but fortunately they had managed to push back the wolf-tooth warriors and ghouls. At this moment, the army has withdrawn to Cedar City, waiting for reinforcements to arrive, and also waiting for the arrival of the next wave of invasion.

This city is already the northernmost city under the jurisdiction of the Dawning Alliance, and this city has witnessed countless melee and fighting for thousands of years, and has also been destroyed and repaired, repaired and destroyed in these thousands of years of war. Now, the strife has arisen again, and the old and young in the city have long fled to the central cities, and only 15,000 men and horses led by Mu Yunhe remain here. More than ten miles north of this city, it is the mouthpiece of northern Xinjiang, known as the white fortress of Muge Town, Waite Town and Luoma Town. Because it is located on the plateau and close to the jurisdiction of the Shesheng tribe in the north, the climate here is cold all year round, and the ice and snow are flying. The soldiers stationed in the garrison need to raise the breath in their bodies at all times to resist such cold. And long-term luck is a great drain on physical strength and energy.

After the three towns of the White Fortress, if you go dozens of miles to the north, there is a vast forest of forgetting worries. This forest stretches for more than 100 miles from north to south, running through the entire continent from east to west, and extending to the coast. Ancient and mysterious, few people have ever entered this place, and it is said that the forest is inhabited by many exotic beasts that have bred since ancient times, all of which are large and fierce. And beyond this forest to the north, is the Forget Worry Mountains, which are connected to the reckless Shesheng Plateau, which is an extremely cold place, where the ice and snow never melt, and very few animals still survive here, except for the frost wolf. This group of frost wolves has lived in this barren land for thousands of years, shuttling back and forth between the Plateau of Life and the Forest of Forgotten Worries, and the various beasts in the forest are the prey of the frost wolf pack. Thousands of years of surviving in such a harsh environment and fighting with all kinds of fierce beasts have made the Frostwolf species evolve extremely fast and strong, and they have developed an extremely tough physique, as well as a terrifying ability to run. This makes them a great companion for Shadow Knights.

Wild frostwolf wolves that have not been domesticated by the Shesheng usually operate around the Forgotten Worry Mountains, and only enter the Forgotten Worries Forest when looking for prey, and rarely cross the entire forest south. Just because the south of the forest is close to the human town, the professional hunters of the Flying Yellow Clan in the town are a big threat to the frostwolves, or rather, the only natural enemy. The Flying Yellow have always been proficient in firearms and mechanisms, and they invented a firearm called the Flying Fire Meteor, which is half like a bow and half a spear, and can use a delicate mechanism to ignite an arrow wrapped in reinforcement* in the moment before launching, this arrow is only two inches long, under the ejection of the huge power of the firearm spring, like a meteor that crosses at a rapid speed, and I don't know how many times faster than the most powerful crossbow arrow, it can hit the prey a hundred steps away in the blink of an eye, and cause severe burns. Therefore, those frost wolves are particularly afraid of the hunters who appear in the forest with flying fire meteors, once they are targeted by hunters, there is almost only death within a hundred steps, even if the frost wolves have extremely vigorous skills and fast speed like arrows, it is still difficult to dodge the meteor arrows that are almost as fast as lightning.

And now, more than a dozen frost wolves have passed through the forest, shuttling back and forth on the battlefield not far north of Luoma Town, biting some corpses left in the snow from time to time, and then looking up to the sky and howling twice. Those sharp whistling sounds even drifted to the ears of the falling clouds and cranes that stood on the outer walls of Cedar City with the wind and snow in the sky.

I saw that this Mu Yunhe was dressed in a black robe, wrapped in a leather jacket made of frost wolf fur, holding a big flag on the city wall, looking at the direction of the Forgotten Worry Forest from afar, with a solemn face. Snowflakes had whitened his eyebrows and beard, which were as sharp as flames. "Alas......" Hearing the faint wolf howl, he couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Accompanying him was Sven of the Cangyan Infantry Battalion, who was guarding the northern frontier with Luoyunhe as a military advisor this time. Sven seemed to see Mu Yunhe's worries, so he asked, "General Mu is worried about how to resist the next invasion of the ghost army?"

Mu Yunhe still looked into the distance, but nodded, and said, "You see, now these frost wolves dare to pass through the Forgotten Worries Forest and roam unscrupulously, which shows that even these animals have sensed our decline. ”

"Yes...... This is the third time in the last month that the ghosts have attacked, each time it is more and more violent, and we have already suffered more than half of the original 20,000 horses and horses, and if it continues like this, it will only be a matter of time before the city gates are breached. Swain said worriedly.

"Strange to say, this battle, this Shesheng clan seems to be different from the past, fierce and abnormal, strange rules, and seems to have a higher resistance to my Cangyan method, it is almost impossible for us to kill those ghouls and wolf tooth warriors. Mu Yunhe frowned.

"What's more, our flame array can't do much to these sacrifices, and what's worse is that once these ghouls forcibly break through our defenses and come to our army's array, their terrifying hand-to-hand combat capabilities will have a very terrible destructive effect, especially the warlocks, who are far less quick to bite than ghouls, and can only watch being slaughtered. While our infantry battalion can compete with them in hand-to-hand combat, it is still barely able to compete with the combination of ghouls and wolf-tooth samurai. ”

"That's true...... Mu Yunhe's mind now remembered the tragic scene of the battle that day, and the hordes of ghoul warriors crawled forward in the snow, but the speed was extremely fast. Although the Warlocks of the Cangyan Mage Battalion did their best to unleash thousands of Cangyan blades, and those flaming fire blades were like a huge waterfall, constantly washing the battlefield, these ghouls were able to grasp some subtle gaps to break through the defenses step by step until they were able to get close enough to attack like a mad dog. They resembled people and evil spirits, their eyes were blood-red, their mouths were sharp, their skin was thick and hard, and they were unusually ugly, like the sandy river beach, and once they were brought within ten paces, under the cover of the wind and snow, they leaped into the air like demons that suddenly burst out of the ground, and pounced on the warlocks and swordsmen of the Cangyan clan with the swiftness of an eye, tearing open the chests of these prey with their sharp claws, and even biting their necks with their sharp teeth. Especially those warlocks who lack the ability to fight hand-to-hand combat, once they are entangled by ghouls, they have almost no power to resist, and the only end is death.

Fortunately, the huge flame array of the Cangyan Warlocks still blocked more than half of the ghouls and wolf-tooth warriors, and there were not a few who were burned to death by the fire, and finally with the cooperation of Swain's infantry battalion, after two days and two nights of fighting, the vanguard army of the ghosts was driven back to the Forgotten Worries Forest.

"In the past, we only thought that the Frost Mage and Shadow Knight of the Sacrifice Clan were their elite and powerful, and they needed to be dealt with carefully, but now we didn't know that the Ghouls had emerged as an equally difficult class to deal with. Sven also looked at the Forgotten Worries Forest in the distance, and said with some melancholy: "It is said that the Lich Protector under the Black Qilin, the king of life, has a strong mana, and is the best at refining all kinds of living beings to create terrifying soldiers, presumably he has mastered a new evil method to create such a vicious army of ghouls." ”

"None of this is good news for us...... In this campaign, we are only facing the vanguard army of ghosts, and behind them, there are even more powerful frost mages and shadow knights who are gathering momentum. If we can successfully stop the ghost army here, the Shesheng clan will be afraid and will not dare to act rashly. However, if our army is defeated and the northern fortress is lost, the Shesheng tribe will probably move southward and swallow up the entire Dawn tribe with a surge. ”

"General, didn't you ask the Prophet for reinforcements the other day?" asked Swain.

"Well, reinforcements have arrived. Mu Yunhe turned his face sideways and said to Sven: "Yesterday I received a messenger news that Leige of the Feihuang Clan is coming from the eastern Yunqi Peninsula with three thousand Niutou Battalion soldiers, and will arrive in about three days, in addition, Zhang Musha of the Jialan Clan will lead an army of 10,000 to set off from the southern Jialan Peninsula today, if it is calculated according to the ability to march in a hurry, even if it is a day and night, it is estimated that it will take 12 or 3 days to arrive." ”

"That means we're going to have to get through the next half month anyway. Swain said.

"This is what I am most worried about at the moment, with the current strength and the morale of the soldiers, let alone survive for half a month, it is unknown whether it can resist the next wave of large-scale attacks that may come from the Shesheng clan at any time...... Alas. As he spoke, Mu Yunhe sighed again, and the frost and snow whitened his eyebrows.

The snow is getting heavier and the wind is blowing harder. The frost wolves in the distance could no longer see their whereabouts at the moment, I don't know if it was because the vast wind and snow blocked their view, or if they had already burrowed into the forest. Seeing that it was getting late and the snow was getting stronger, Sven accompanied Mu Yunhe down the city wall and returned to the camp in the city.
