North-Zemlya Islands, on the shores of the Ice Ocean.

Gaze at a vast frozen ocean, with a large number of seabirds flying across the sky.

Greenland whales emerge from the cold sea, and snoozing seals lie on the drifting ice floe. And on the islands off the coast, polar bears are eyeing the tiger.

Snow-white coniferous forests gallop past Northland reindeer. The local Inuit rode on reindeer's backs and wore fur coats and drove back to the village under the guidance of hunting dogs.

Hearing the frantic barking of the hounds, the villagers stepped out of the low stone huts in the snow and ice, only to see the anxious-looking messenger sitting on the back of the reindeer.

"Monsters!" The messenger shouted, "At the end of the horizon, a large group of monsters has appeared!" ”

The ocean is inhabited by a large number of extremely vicious monsters. Most of them are bizarre, massive, and some possess no less intelligence than humans.

Affected by the Arctic magnetic field, giant monsters over 100 meters in the Arctic Ocean, such as deep-sea giant crabs, overlord squid, and killer horn whales, will march to the coast of the ice ocean from time to time.

As a result, every year, more than a dozen whaling ships are killed in the Northlands, nearly 1,000 seafarers are killed, and countless losses are caused to villages along the coast.

In this cruel, unpredictable land of ice and snow, once someone lights a fire, it will be regarded as "hope" by the local village.

He will carry his parents, elders, and lovers...... Carry all the hopes, travel to the Imperial Capital of the Northlands, 'Thousand Winter City', join the army of Augustus the Great, and sacrifice everything to save the people of this land of ice and snow.

Hearing the messenger's words, the village chief's face turned pale, and he turned his head to the small village of less than five households and shouted strange syllables, and then the sound of pots and pans sounded, and the woman wrapped her head in thick scarves and fur wrapped in furniture, pulling the children and hurried away.

Snow fell in the taiga, and the fleeing procession left footprints deep and shallow.

Most of them are elderly and women, and most of them are young and middle-aged people who are far away from the villages.

When the fleeing teams arrive at a new location, they will build low houses out of stone and earth, and some will simply use snow and ice to build temporary shelters, and then move again when disaster strikes.

"Ivan! Ivan! The woman cried out anxiously.

The boy had the most ordinary name, only about 10 years old, short stature, black and straight hair, and a face with a wide nose. But his eyes were as blue as the sea, and they shone with a longing rarely seen among the local population.

Ivan broke free from the woman's pull, ran along the path that had been wading out of the snow, tripped over a dead branch and fell into a puddle of snow, and the woman's cry came from behind:

"Ivan...... What the hell are you going to do, Ivan! Be good and come with us to escape! ”

Ivan picked up a handful of snow, turned his head and said fiercely to his mother:

"I'm not a kid anymore! I lit the fire! He lit the spark in his palm to the sluggish villagers, "I want to join the army of Augustus the Great!" I'm going to save you all! ”

The fleeing procession was forced to stop, and the messenger rode back to the rear, looked at the mother and son who were facing each other with red eyes and gritted teeth, and said in a stiff tone:

"Lit the fire... Just the beginning... You can only be counted as a first-order... Those monsters are all above the sixth order..."

Ivan bowed his head and was silent, and his mother raised her rough and wide palm high, and finally just lightly put it on Ivan's cheek, with a cry:

"Come with us, okay? When you settle down, I'll sell everything and let you go to Winterfell......"

Ivan looked at his mother's tattered package and said loudly: "You something! Not enough to feed yourself! ”

"I can go and beg people, borrow money from them, find the village chief, find the messenger......"

Everyone whose mother cast their eyes silently looked away. She puffed out her chest again, and said proudly:

"I can still work, when you are in Thousand Winter City, I can do other people's laundry......"

Ivan's eyes were red, he thought it was time for him to leave, and vented:

"I can take care of myself!"

He sped along the snowy path, stumbling and quickly disappearing into the white world of snowflakes.

The woman's eyes were glazed, as if a piece of her heart was missing, and her gaze moved away from the villagers, as if to ask them what had just happened. Everyone just buried their heads down.

They also want to fund Ivan and get him to Winterfell. But that's a lot of money, and I'm afraid that several families will have to risk their lives from starvation and freezing to death in order to get back a card master who doesn't know when he will come back.

The stable village will definitely help Ivan, but when the villagers are too busy to take care of themselves, they can only pray to Indra, the 'Lord of Elements and Nature', to send down his favor to Ivan.

Ivan's back had disappeared, and the woman suddenly burst into tears, knelt down in the direction of the child's run, and muttered:

"Please bless this child...... ...... Augustus the Great Indra, Lord of Nature......"

Arctic Ocean.

The killer horn whale jumped out of the water with a 'bang', setting off a monstrous wave, the three-hundred-meter-high overlord squid showed red eyes, and the big-headed fish grinned with a hideous mouth.

They were originally spiritual creatures born from the world in the deep sea, but they were polluted by the aura of 'doomsday', and they grew into strange shapes and were full of desire to destroy.

Boom!!

One of the tentacles of the overlord squid whipped at the surface of the sea, smashing the ice floe and blasting up ice ridges and waves hundreds of feet high.

Ivan stood on the shore not far from the village, his face pale and his teeth chattering.

He had heard people talk about the horrors of the monsters of the deep sea, but he didn't think that they were all filthy and ugly demons.

It's like...... Creatures that were not created by the Lord of Creation, were more like alien invaders.

Although I lit the fire, my family couldn't afford to buy a card, and if I stayed, it would drag down my mother......

So, I'm coming here.

Ivan stood on the shore of the stormy ice ocean, trembling at the sight of the hideous and terrifying behemoth, and a cluster of fire swayed in his heart.

It's not about death...... It's to wait, the fleet from Winterfell!

Ivan had heard stories from the homeless that whenever the Northland was in danger, the fleet from Thousand Winter City built by the Kashi would arrive as scheduled.

This fleet is invincible, not only because their leader is Augustus the Great, but more importantly, with their homeland behind them, they will not take half a step back.

Boom!!

The deep-sea crab smashed its pincers at the ice floe, the ice edges splashed, and the seals fled and jumped into the water one after another.

The sea is soaked in a pool of red blood - the Greenland whale is badly injured, and it looks up and screams.

The overlord squid's indifferent eyes rolled, staring at Ivan, who was trembling on the shore, and raised a tentacle high.

Ivan closed his eyes tightly, and at this moment he heard a cold and majestic command:

"Sideside fire!!"

Rumble!!

A magnificent and ferocious heat wave erupted from the side of the battleship, and the four large-caliber main guns fired in turn, exploding brilliant sparks on the monsters of the deep sea.

For a moment, the flames soared into the sky, and the ice floated with gunpowder smoke and rust-smelling blood, and the continuous rumbling sound was like the wrath of the thunder god, stirring the entire sky and ocean.

Ivan opened his eyes in disbelief.

This is a fleet, the guardian of Thousand Winters, the Northland Fleet.

The small ships guarding the main ship are like scattered wolf packs, aiming at smaller monsters, bombarding torpedoes and ammunition.

And on the deck of the main ship, Augustus the Great stood proudly. Her eyes were as cold as glaciers, and she was dressed in a white navy suit, and her long blue hair fluttered under her white navy cap.

"Seventh-Order Overlord Squid."

Augustus whispered, "Yes, it's worth my shot." ”

Reaching to the side, her dark blue flame poured out a cluster of cold source power, and then manifested a spear as bright as a meteor, enough to shock the world.

This spear resembles the eternal spear held by the mythical god Odin, Kungunir!

Emperor Augustus held a spear in his hand and threw it with great force, the tip of the spear touched the surface of the sea, and the icy source power spread, freezing the entire sea in an instant!

Leaping forward, tapping the hilt of the gun with his toes, Augustus held the handle of the gun that spun and flew back, moving quickly on the ice, and the grim monster roaring in the sky was reflected in his cold pupils.

Ivan's mouth was wide open.

The whole world seemed to be frozen in ice, and the spear condensed extremely cold ice crystals, and suddenly staggered and exploded thunder. Combining the dual elements of ice and thunder, the spear is thrown. At this moment, it was like the divine punishment of Indra, the 'Lord of Nature and Elements', descending on the Ice Ocean.

Thundered!!

Pale electric light danced wildly on the surface of the sea, and cold snowflakes fell under the leaden sky.

The ice melted, and the fleet of steel beasts stood for itself, their steel shells reflecting the sun's setting in the clouds.

Augustus walked on the sea, her waist-length blue hair swaying, and with each step, a floe of ice gathered under her high boots.

Behind her, the giant monsters that covered the sky were either frozen and torn apart or blasted to ashes. The corpse turned into particles of light and floated into the sky.

Augustus looked up and listened to the enthusiastic cheers of the Northland fleet, and there was no joy in his heart, only a trace of loneliness.

The breath of doom is getting closer and closer......

I am bound to grope my way alone on the path of the Sanctuary.

After counting the battlefield and casualties, Ivan was taken before Augustus by the officers.

After listening to the cause and effect, she said coldly:

"You're joining the Northland Fleet?"

Ivan was nervous for a while, and nodded tremblingly: "Hmm." ”

Augustus put it succinctly:

"Send it to the academy. Also, to support his family. ”

"Understood!"

The officer bowed his head and left with Ivan, whispering to Ivan on the way:

"Where are you from?"

Ivan reported that he was leaving the house, and a smile appeared on the officer's cold face:

"It's not in the way, my family is also poor. But Lord Augustus, no matter where she comes from, as long as you are strong enough, you can get her approval. ”

The cold sea breeze whipped Augustus' long blue hair. She stood on the deck, looking out at a seal napping on an ice floe.

Augustus flies out a card. A cute polar bear lands on an ice floe and drools at the seal.

This is her most trusted partner, a female snow bear with the power of thunder, originally called 'Polar Bear'.

But at the suggestion of the consul Anna, Augustus named it 'Diana', which means goddess of the hunt.

"Whew!" The seal was alert and tried to jump into the sea with belly fat, but was grabbed by a polar bear on its hind flipper.

Natural predators of seals include killer whales, polar bears, great white sharks...... Being favored by so many bigwigs can be said to be 'leopard headache crying'.

"Lord Augustus."

"What's the matter?" Augustus turned his head to see her archon Anna standing respectfully.

"Are you sure you want to compete in the [World Series] in the second half of the year?"

"It's just a plan." Augustus said, "I heard that Zhongzhou, as the organizer, will come up with mythical objects, related to the eighth order, and I am also looking forward to it." ”

Anna nodded thoughtfully, and then said:

"On the other side of the source world, there is a card master named 'Heavy Swordman' who wants to make an appointment with you to face off."

"Well, how strong is it."

Augustus never despised people because of her origin, and she would not turn people away because of the arrogance of the emperor. As long as the other party shows enough strength, he can win her attention.

"According to the source world, he is a seventh-order card master. But he sent an email to your public mailbox mentioning the Sanctuary. ”

"Sanctuary ......"

Augustus's eyes changed slightly, his white-gloved hand rested on his chin, pondered for a long time, and nodded slightly:

"Meet him."
