Chapter 1: The Pursuit

Blizzard has no intention of stopping.

The southern vein of the snow-capped mountain in winter, which is always sunny, has been falling non-stop since the day the former queen was burned to death by dragon flames. The cold wind howled incessantly as if it was about to destroy the world.

Even the warriors of the Digan tribe were somewhat unable to endure the harsh weather for several days, and judging from the dress of the soldiers on the outermost walls of Atlantis, perhaps most of the people of Atlantis had not experienced this - their armor was only lined with a thin layer of clothing. Most of the people in the entire city of Yacheng also did not have thick clothes to block the wind, except for the most elite royal city army, which was originally prepared to recover the northern fortress, but did not expect to be used again in the city of Asia.

"Oh...... Damn witches!"

The guard at the gate cursed in a low voice, then leaned his spear against the wall and took a few breaths into his palm to try to warm himself up. When he picked up the weapon again, the temperature of his palm was instantly devoured, and it was even colder.

"Damn it!"

The city of Atlantis stands on a hill and has seventeen floors, each of which is connected by the Knight's Way. The city looks more like a fortress, and it is.

To the south, the snow-capped mountains are full of razor-bladed cliffs, and only two places are smoothly connected to the mainland. One is the Valley of Nightglow, garrisoned by the dragon knight Zorn, and the other is Atlantis, the largest imperial capital of the Digan tribe.

Legend has it that the Winter Snow Mountain is the tomb of the goddess of destruction, Dela, and the fragments of Dela's code are sealed somewhere in the mountains. As the right-hand man of the goddess Cana, the ancestors of the Akrin family assisted the goddess of Cana in defeating Della and then established the city of Atlantis at the entrance to the entire mountain range, guarding the entire eastern continent. The highest point in the city is called the Top of the Dragon Knights, where the king can look down on the world.

Apparently, the former king has fallen, and his queen was burned to death by dragon fire in that place of power and honor.

"Driving...... Get out of the way!"

A shout accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves came from the other side of the Knight's Avenue, and the guards looked for their voice, and a figure on a war horse galloped past and ran far away.

"Stop her!"

Immediately, several men in silver robes and riding war horses chased after them.

By the time the guards could react, the men had already rushed out of the city gates, and the wing-like motifs were faintly visible from their cloaks.

It was an icon that symbolized the prestige of the Silver Wing.

It's four people chasing one person. The man who was being pursued was almost on his horse's back, and from time to time he whipped his leather whip and went straight in the direction of the Brilliant Avenue.

The Brilliant Avenue is the closest passage connecting Atlantis City to the south of the Eastern Continent, and there are two other places that lead to the main cities of the South, one is the Valley of Radiance and the other is the Forest of Afterglow. Needless to say, the Valley of Radiance is garrisoned by General Zorn, and the distance is far away, and the Afterglow Forest has always been a forbidden place for the Di people, the entire forest is boundless, and no one knows the situation inside, only rumored that there are only those who go in, and no one comes out.

It can be said that if you want to escape, Brilliant Avenue is the only way out.

"Sophia!"

Seeing that the Brilliant Avenue had appeared not far ahead, one of the pursuers shouted.

Sophia then clamped the horse under her crotch with her legs, and the horse roared and rushed up. Then, she took out three silver arrows from her back, leaned her body to the right, and with the help of inertia, put her right hand around the neck of the war horse, flipped from the horse's back to the horse and stood on the horse's back, her movements were smooth, and in the blink of an eye, the longbow was full, and the three arrows were covered with snow all over.

Sophia bent her knees slightly, and as the horse's back fell together, she continued to test the attack position, and the mount jumped up again, her body leaping lightly, and the three arrows all shone with a light blue light, and then they burst off the string.

Ice magic!Three arrows drive the snow on the ground with invisible force to lift up a wall several meters high and chase straight after the target.

The snow wall was lifted and immediately condensed into ice, and the fugitives pulled the reins sharply when they saw the situation, and in an instant, a hundred-meter-long ice wall was already standing in front of them, completely blocking the entrance to the glorious avenue. The man didn't stop, turning to the Afterglow Forest and galloping.

Sophia's blow completely blocked the escape route of the fugitives, and the Afterglow Forest was undoubtedly a natural divide, and here, it was not far from the boundary of the Afterglow Forest.

"Emilia! Evelyn doesn't want to enter the Afterglow Forest!" asked one of the pursuers.

"It's just the fight of the trapped beasts, follow her. Emilia responded calmly.

Emilia was the older of the group, and they were hunting down Queen Angelina's personal bodyguard, former Silverwing Captain Evelyn.

The Silver Wing Guard has not been established for a long time, and it is the four elven warriors who came to Asia with Angelina as the foundation. Although it will be more than ten years in Yacheng, the combat power embodied by the elven warriors has shocked the entire Yacheng, and even brought the cultivation method of manipulating elemental magic to the Di Yan clan. Sadly, at this moment, three of them are facing off with the fourth.

Evelyn's horse was panting for breath, and its speed slowed down imperceptibly. She had sensed that Sophia had injured the front leg of the horse she was riding while casting her ice magic, and the horse was about to reach its limit.

The pursuers are getting closer, and the Afterglow Forest is just around the corner. The options left for Evelyn have become more and more limited, except for nine deaths and one life, nine deaths and two lives.

At the signal of Emilia's outstretched hand, the four pursuing Silver Wing guards all stopped - in the clearing at the edge of the Afterglow Forest in front of her, the female elf in silver armor stood facing her, her long golden hair slightly messy in the wind. The silver plush cloak was draped diagonally over his shoulders and naturally slipped in front of him, covering his left arm, which seemed to be wrapped around his chest.

"Evelyn, why would someone like you do something like that......"

Emilia's eyes were full of regret and confusion.

The corners of Evelyn's mouth lifted slightly, and she smiled without answering, quietly looking at her former comrades or the city of Atlantis behind them.

"What else to say to her, the evidence is conclusive, she is the accomplice of that witch, and naturally she is also the apostle of the evil god!"

It was Olivia who broke the silence.

"Amilia, let her step aside, she's just a careless little girl. ”

At this time, Evelyn's tone was surprisingly calm, which made Olivia's face redden, and she almost drew her sword. Emilia reached out to stop Olivia, who was about to attack, and told her, "This is a battle between elven warriors, stand down." ”

"Also, stop calling Princess Angelina a witch, she's the princess of my people. ”

Emilia added.

Olivia was still dissatisfied, but she also held back her emotions and took a few steps back, no longer speaking, just staring at Evelyn angrily, as if the beautiful and heroic female elf not far away was so heinous.

The warriors of the Di Clan are often short-tempered, and if they are not really convinced in terms of strength, more often than not, they can not be stopped with a "retreat", even if you are their officer.

"Evelyn, even you, have no chance of winning with one against three. You go back with us, there have been so many bad things lately, the Lord Regent must have made something wrong......"

Emilia was still trying to persuade her longtime friend. They met in the home of the Astral Elves, grew up together to become the top magic swordsmen in the clan, and then accompanied Princess Angelina into Asia together, and of course she understood what it all meant.

"Amy, that guy wasn't mistaken, never. But......" Evelyn shook her head helplessly, drawing the sword at her waist from her complicated countenance, "I swear by the honor of the elves and the demon swordsman, Princess Angelina has never been an apostle of the demon Della!"

"Come on, Amilia, Sophia, Catherine!"

With Evelyn's roar, the starlight sword "Starlight" in her hand shone with dazzling light.

This sword is made of the hardest metal in the Eastern Continent, embedded with the precious gem of the elves, white diamonds, and the power of starlight is integrated into it with the power of white magic. Once a gift from the Starlight Elf King to King Ecklin, he came to Atlantis with Angelina.

Emilia's face was full of helplessness, and the starlight blade in Evelyn's hand once again tugged at the heartstrings of several elves.

If they could, no one would have made the choice they have now.

"Let's do it. ”
