......
Blue, ghostly blue.
Swallowing the sky, the west of the otherworldly continent, the island of bitterness.
Heavy snow has blocked the road for seven days, and the waterway has been frozen so hard that the iron chisel cannot be chiseled, and the waterway has been completely paralyzed.
The Knights of Light fought hard with the Vikings for three months, but they were still in a stalemate.
At this time, winter is approaching, the evil wind is howling, and the snow is falling from the extremely white sky. Alessande Henry, the sergeant major of the Holy Knights, knew in his heart that the road ahead was dangerous and confusing.
At this time, the cold eroded to the bones, and the blizzard seemed to never stop, and many southern horses had frozen to death on the wasteland, and the undetermined chicks and old soldiers had never risen again after lying in the snow for a rest.
The red-haired, red-eyed man sat on the pure black Trekner horse called Summer, his eyes closed tightly, and he learned from the pain. The man had already draped his only mink coat over Summer, but it was still spitting white mist and had difficulty breathing.
The man's voice was magnetic, and he said to the crowd: "The Pope has sent a letter from the raven, telling us all to retreat, winter is coming, and the climate of the island of Misery has deteriorated dramatically. Although the soldiers of the Knights of the Holy Light were all brave and good at fighting, many of our soldiers were southerners and had never faced such a big blizzard......
"But, Grand Master...... It's come to this, how can you let us get out of the way......" said Alexandre Henry, standing out of the crowd.
The Grand Master glanced at Alexandre, who was full of righteous indignation, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said in a sad tone: "So, sergeant, what kind of opinion do you have? Our Knights of Light have been fighting hard against the Vikings for more than three months, but we have lost our troops and have not made any progress. Now that winter is approaching, our Knights of the Holy Light are short of food and grass, and they are stretched. On the other hand, the Vikings are all from bitter cold, and in such an environment, I am afraid that they will only become more and more courageous, and I have the same intention as the Pope, we must retreat!"
"But is it okay for our Knights of Light to die so many brothers? Hmph! The Pope said that as long as we follow God's will, we can destroy the Vikings in only half a month, but why ...... now?"
Seeing this, the Grand Master hurriedly covered Alexandre's mouth and pulled him into the snow tent.
"Edra Goodwin, why didn't you just let me finish my sentence?" the fire in Alexandre's heart had not yet been extinguished.
"Henry, are you crazy? Talking about the Pope in front of all the Knights of Light, if I asked you to say that sentence in its entirety...... Do you know what the consequences will be. ”
Alexandre's heart was still indignant, and he slammed his fist on the iron cross that hung in the snow tent.
"Henry, I know your temper too well, we have known each other since we were seven years old. I know how important those dead soldiers are to you, they are all your own brothers! But now, we still have to put the overall situation first, and we can't let the rest of the soldiers die again!"
Alexandre Henry smiled wryly, "Give me three days, Edla, just three days, how about it?"
Grand Master Edra Goodwin's face changed slightly, and his eyes widened and he said, "Henry, what do you want to do? No! That's a forbidden technique! Absolutely not!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Alexandre Henry had already stepped on his warhorse, Xiu, and ran wildly towards the depths of the snow.
The blizzard got bigger and bigger, and Henry could hardly open his eyes, as if there was a heaven helping the Knights of Light! On the way to the pivot of Bitter Island, Henry didn't even meet a Viking, Henry knew exactly what he was doing, and he was about to arrive, the center of the island.
As long as you don't get into trouble on the way, don't meet a Viking, then it's all a success.
It's close, it's close......
......
......
There was still half a mile away from the pivot of the island of bitterness, the wind and snow suddenly increased, and the evil wind that swallowed the sky blew the horses so that they could not lift their hooves, Henry opened his eyes with difficulty, and was about to dismount and walk, when two figures faintly appeared in the vast wind and snow ahead. The figure was walking towards him, and from the vague outline, Henry could discern a tall man with a thin figure staggering.
As he got closer, Henry opened his eyes and realized that it was none other than the Viking elite, the giant Goliath, who was more than two and a half meters tall, wearing a huge seal black patent leather coat and a terrifying skull mask, and his original yellow beard was braided into a braid, and he was holding a black iron chain tightly in his hand.
"So you, the lackey of the Knights!ahahaha...... I'm going to skin you alive today!" Goliath excitedly pulled a chain when she saw Henry. "Wow," a shrill exclamation, and a thin woman was dragged out from behind Goliath.
Henry looked down the chain, and saw that the woman was covered with wounds, disheveled, and extremely thinly dressed, and her bare feet were already red from the cold.
"Cattle, today is the end of you Vikings. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a sword made of white bone came out of Henry's scabbard.
"Death!" Henry struck first, hurrying away, his sword fierce and pressing.
Seeing that the situation was in danger, Goliath dodged a few attacks from Henry, and after dodging a few attacks from Henry, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he bent down and grabbed a sky-opening axe from the snow under him.
The open axe was three meters long, and Goliath slashed at Henry with a little force.
Fortunately, Henry's eyes were quick, he staggered half of his body, jumped behind him, and even dodged.
Rumble!
The great axe of the Open Heaven fell vigorously into the snow, and the heavy muffled sound was like thunder, and the earth shook the mountains.
Henry secretly screamed in his heart, the snow has completely hindered his original agile steps, but there is no restriction on Goliath at all, coupled with his two-meter-tall body and three-meter-long weapon, Henry has nowhere to hide, full of loopholes.
After a few times, Henry seemed to have only escaped for his life, and his breath was short, and he was about to reach his limit.
"Where do you want to run away, too, and that's all you knights can do but slap horses and sell ass to your captain?" Goliath laughed wildly.
Henry's heart was burning with rage, and he was thinking about how to fight back.
Unexpectedly, the cunning Goliath was unexpected, and the giant axe of opening the sky came to him without saying anything.
Seeing that the axe was on top of his head, Henry knew that he had nowhere to get out at the moment.
It was a forced move.
Rumble!
A burst of snow and mist rose more than half a meter high, and it took a long time for it to be blown away by a vicious wind.
Goliath looked at the snow mist and was surprised, only to see that Henry's small bone sword had steadily caught his sky-destroying axe, but Goliath's huge strength had already caused half of Henry's lower body to fall into the snow.
"What kind of sword is this?" Goliath's face changed slightly when she saw this.
Henry didn't respond, and the corners of his mouth were already hooked into a sneer.
In the confrontation just now, although Henry has always been at a disadvantage, he has already captured Goliath's weakness at this moment. Every time Goliath urges his divine power, he seems to be powerful when he swings the axe, but he is extremely careful when he collects the axe. Every time the axe collided with an object, he would look pained.
Henry, as the sergeant major of the Knights, although sometimes he is angry, his eyes are very vicious. Goliath, despite his might, had been helping the Vikings hold the gates of the city for months, and now his body was at its limit - his injured shoulder had become his greatest weakness!
Henry jumped and took the initiative to launch an offensive in the air, the speed of the sword was amazing, but every sword stab was a feint like a dragonfly.
Seeing this, Goliath raised his axe and tried to defuse Henry's attack one by one. I saw that the offensive was rapid and slow, high and low, and it was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Every time Goliath resisted, every time he raised his arm higher, he bared his teeth in pain.
Goliath's shoulder injury made it difficult for him to fight back, and now even the agile defense was difficult to maintain, and he gradually lost the battle, and his steps couldn't stop retracting, and the pain had taken over the big man's body.
"Ahh
Rumble!
The pain in his shoulder made the giant squat down weakly, touch his bare beard, and be very angry!
"Why humiliate me so much, sinister villain, kill if you want to kill?" Goliath scolded angrily.
Henry snorted and was about to go to end his life. Unexpectedly, Goliath pulled the chain fiercely, and the woman screamed, already choked by his big hand.
"Hahaha, I, Goliath, have always thought that your knights are hypocritical, but I'll bet once today, why don't you let me go, and I let this woman go?"
Henry sneered, "Goliath, it's come to this, you think I care about a woman's life?"
......
"Voleagedia!" As soon as the words fell, a white shadow shaped like a ghost sped away.
When Goliath came to his senses, he realized that he had an extra bone sword in his chest.
"Scum, I didn't plan to kill you with this move, and besides, this is not a Jie Bao Sword, it's called Tribulus Terrestris. ”
With a muffled grunt, Goliath collapsed. The thistle emitted a ghostly green glow, absorbing Goliath's marrow like a bone worm, and the massive giant body turned into a puddle of flesh in the blink of an eye.
When Henry turned his head to look at the woman, she shrank back, trembling and her eyes full of horror.
"Girl, don't be afraid...... It's all gone......" Henry said, and he shed his cloak and wrapped it around the woman's body, whose uneasiness eased somewhat.
"Girl...... What's your name?"
The girl's eyes were moist, and her long brown hair was messy against her cheeks.
"Kama...... Kama Kozmo. ”
