It was a stunning building, and even the most powerful creatures would be ashamed of themselves in front of it, thinking that they were as small as an ant. Anyone will be silent in front of it, and from the moment it is completed, it exudes majesty.

It lived up to the title of the City of Steel, and it was literally poured with a layer of steel, ten meters thick, glowing white in the moonlight. Even the Demon Lord had to face this wall with a lot of effort. Dense lines of torches lined up the walls like a dragon preparing to soar. The night crumbled in front of these torches, but they still charged unrelentingly.

White snow fell on it, draping it with a layer of armor.

It's hard to imagine how this massive project could have been accomplished in such an environment, which is almost impossible. What a miracle!

They entered the fortress city, were warmly welcomed, and were then taken into a military camp in the city, where they were told that they would be arranged to join the city tomorrow to defend the army. Xiao Yan and Jian Ke went to the City Lord's Mansion to negotiate the handover. Only these children remained.

Shao Xuechen sat on the roof of the building and watched the moon. The moon here is so large and bright that even its outline is clear. He has always been a child watching the night sky, and he is also a lonely man. So lonely that a person can go days without talking and turn a deaf ear to what is going on around him. He had few friends.

"What are you looking at. Mu Xi sat down beside him.

Shao Xuechen's answer was very simple, only two words, moon.

"I'm sorry. Mu Xi's eyes were full of apologies, "I apologize to you for what happened that day." I didn't know your reaction would be so violent. That's not what I intended. ”

"Forget it, I didn't take it to heart. Shao Xuechen said, "It's just that I was really angry at that time, because you didn't understand anything." Self-judgment. There was a moment when I really wanted to put a sword down your throat. ”

"But you didn't. "It's not like where we live, where the smell of blood is in the air." ”

"This is the place where the Empire fights the demons the most, and it's a meat grinder. "A total of millions of humans have remained here. When I was in the school palace, I heard the teacher say that here, the freshly fallen snow is removed, and the snow mixed with blood is underneath. Dig a little further down, and you can see the corpses of humans and demons frozen by ice and snow after they died. Even the land was so soaked in blood that you had to dig several meters down to see the land as it was. ”

Mu Xi pinched up a ball of snow, kneaded them into a ball, and held it in his hand. It's cold to the touch, and it's a little hard when kneaded into a spherical shape. But it's still clean.

He lifted the snowball up in front of Shao Xuejian's eyes, and then pinned it.

"It's still so clean. Mu Xi said, "Because my hands are clean." But if you throw it in an unclean place, it will get dirty. Just like this land, it will not be taken away and it will not be defiled if we exist and defend it. We give everything for it, blood including life, but everything is worth it. ”

"You say this as if you are a human trafficker who is coaxing children. Shao Xuechen gently tugged at her hair, "Can't humans and demons coexist?"

"What's going on in your head?" Mu Xi crushed the snowball, "How can humans coexist with demons? Demon ......"

"Alright, alright, I got it. Shao Xuechen got up, "Go back to sleep." ”

"Hey, I'm just saying this to tell you that this is a battlefield, put away your pity, it's only going to hurt you. Mu Xi said, "It's good for you to pity anyone, but you can't pity demons, they are a bunch of heartless things." ”

The huge moon rose in the sky, and the cold moonlight poured in through the windows, and the shadows of the objects in the room were stretched and elongated and cast on the yellowed walls. The barracks, which was still full of people during the day, was quiet, only the sound of the wind pouring in through the cracks in the windows, which was like the roar of ghosts, and the night was quiet and a little scary. Shao Xuechen sat on the bed, her back against the wall, silent. The moonlight reflected his pale face. The long, silky hair reflects the moonlight.

Looking up at the full moon, under the moonlight, his pupils began to shrink and change color, one blood red and one faint blue, and an evil light came out...... The night of the full moon symbolizes ominous on the continent, and it will be a bloody night when the demons sealed in the abyss by the gods will break out of their cocoons...... This is an ancient one on the mainland, and it is likely that it was made up by man, because no one on the continent has ever seen the gods, but there are still many people who are willing to become followers of the gods...... They say that the gods are the most powerful beings in the world, their gaze can penetrate the entire continent, anyone's words and deeds are exposed to their gaze, they have the power to destroy the entire continent, and when the demons return to the world, the gods will also follow, coming to the world in the sky, bringing hope for life......

A majestic figure appeared behind him, blurry, but still looking imposing. The jade crown on the head of the figure appeared in golden font, simple and full of majesty. The virtual light diffused by the figure is like a majestic snow-capped mountain, plain white and blue.

"Accept or agree. His voice was cold, devoid of emotion, like eternal ice. Full of irresistible coercion.

Shao Xuechen didn't answer him, the light in his eyes became stronger under the reflection of the moon, like a lava eruption, bursting out in an instant.

"You still don't agree?" the figure seemed to open its eyes. The blue ice-like pupils radiated a cold glow, like countless sharp swords piercing out of his eyes. His eyes were as cold and majestic as snow-capped mountains.

Shao Xueji seemed to have been kicked hard under the cold light, the lava in his eyes dissipated in an instant, and the whole person was clinging to the wall, and large cracks appeared on the wall. Then he became unconscious, as if he had been devoured by some unknown monster, and collapsed on the bed.

The figure vanished silently, as silently as he had come. There was nothing left, as if he had never been there, and what had just happened was nothing more than a dream.

The next day it was the noise that woke him up, and all kinds of sounds in the barracks were transmitted in the air.

"Dreaming again?" Shao Xuechen got up from the bed and rubbed her sore limbs. Holding the position that he had passed out last night for too long made him a little uncomfortable.

He turned his head, and although it was a little difficult for him to accept, the crack in the bed reminded him that it was not a dream, it was a real thing. The figure is real.

Cold sweat began to flow from his forehead, and the figure just glanced at him, making him feel like he had suffered a huge blow, and then fell unconscious.

"I think I'm sick. There is simply no one in the world who can traumatize someone by looking at them, impossible. Shao Xuejian's voice became shrill because of nervousness, "What is this, is it a fantasy? I definitely made it myself when I was sleeping, I must have dreamed of something weird. ”

Throughout the day, Shao Xuechen became chattering because of this incident, as if he had been hooked out of his soul, and his eyes were empty.

While having dinner, Mu Xi found Shao Xuechen and sat next to him at the same table.

"I didn't expect the food in the barracks to be quite good, and there was actually stew. Mu Xi held a piece of meat with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth with a grin, "I always thought that the food in the military camp was very poor." Hey, why don't you eat, look at you all day in a daze, and you've been muttering something in your mouth, it's not true. What the hell did you do last night?"

"Ah...... It's nothing. Shao Xuechen came back to her senses, "It's just that I dreamed of something last night." ”

"What is it?" Mu Xi asked curiously, "You shouldn't mind telling me about it, right?"

"No... It's nothing. Shao Xuechen lowered his head and began to eat, no matter how Mu Xi asked him, he would not answer.

And Mu Xi also gave full play to the spirit of gossip, pestering Shao Xuechen from eating until taking a bath and sleeping. For nearly a few hours, Shao Xuejin's head was about to grow bigger.

"Why are you more annoying than some girls?!" Shao Xuechen almost roared, he really couldn't do anything about Mu Xi.

"I'm just wondering what you're dreaming about. Mu Xi said very seriously, "Then help you analyze and help you find the reason for that dream, so that you won't dream about that thing again in the future." ”

Mu Xi's face showed an expression of "I'm doing this for your good", and his concerned look made Shao Xuechen almost believe his nonsense. He is just trying to satisfy his gossip psychology. When a guy gossips, the power generated by dozens of gossipy girls combined is more terrifying.

"Sleep!" Shao Xuechen forced his heart to kill Mu Xi, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to the battlefield tomorrow, take care of your spirits." Now go back to your room at once, and I will order you as the leader. ”

"I'm just concerned about you. Mu Xi said, "Tomorrow we will go to the battlefield, in your state, in case ......"

Shao Xuechen interrupted Mu Xi rudely, "Go back to your room!

Looking at Mu Xi who was leaving, Shao Xuechen felt that the whole world was pure. He is even more maddening than a fly, because the fly Shao Xueji can slap it to death, but Mu Xi, he can't slap it to death. That's going to be judged again.

All the students were woken up in the morning, and they hadn't woken up yet, when the day was just dawning, and they usually slept until dawn.

In the open space in the center of the barracks stood a man, his black hair pointing in different directions, as sharp as a sword, just like the momentum he exuded. It was also he who disturbed the students' dreams.

"You're too slow. But it doesn't matter, anyway, when you get to the battlefield, you are slow to react, and it is you who die. The man looked at the students standing in a group, "I'm sorry to disturb your dreams, but this is not the place for you to dream." Let me introduce myself first, my name is Tang Chen, and I am the city lord of Frost Fortress City. ”

The name Tang Chen caused an uproar in the hearts of the students, like an undersea earthquake causing a twelve-magnitude tsunami, which turned the world upside down in their hearts. The students, who were dissatisfied with the early morning call and complained in private, instantly quieted down. The atmosphere seemed a little eerie. They knew that the city lord of the fortress city was called Tang Chen, but none of them had seen it. If it was just the city lord, it wouldn't shock them, but this city lord was still a ninth-level magic celestial master, the pinnacle that human beings could reach!

It was the first time they had been so close to a mage of this high realm. Everyone held their breath, and some even started to breathe, just because of the excitement. It's like fans seeing their idols, and their eyes are full of blazing light.

"Most of you should have heard my name. Tang Chen continued, "Your seniors have been fighting on the front line for several days, and you will be like them, giving your life for the empire." This is the war of mankind against the demons, put away your cowardly thoughts. Demons are very powerful, but they can also be killed. Even if a person or a warrior does not have strong skills, he must at least have the will to die! I don't care what you are like in the School Palace, but when you come here, in front of the demons, even in the face of death, you must use all your strength to stab the sword in your hand into the body of the demons!"

Tang Chen's identity, coupled with his impassioned pre-war mobilization, caused the students to boil like boiling water, and even pulled out the knives or swords hanging from their waists and slashed at the air. Looking at the posture, I can't wait to go to the battlefield immediately to fight with the demons.

As the students scattered back to the room to pack their bags, Tang Chen found Shao Xuechen and said his name accurately. Shao Xuechen was flattered, a ninth-level magic heavenly master would actually know his name, which could be meant as a special honor. Enough to be enviable.

"Xiao Yan told me about you, you are the student leader. ”

"Right...... Yes, I am, I am. Shao Xuechen was a little nervous and spoke incoherently.

"You're good, you're very talented. Tang Chen said, "So I'll pay special attention to you, genius." Hopefully, you won't be weaker than your seniors. ”

"Who are you referring to? ”

"Su Xun, isn't he the strongest person in your Academy? You should have heard his name. ”

"I'm certainly not weaker than him, I'm even going to surpass him. Shao Xuechen thought to himself, he didn't say this sentence, if he did, Tang Chen would probably think he was bragging. Just like a child always likes to behave in front of people who are older than themselves and get the praise they want.
