"Seven days have passed, and this is the eighth day."

At dawn, Margaret's Emerald leadership arrived at the border of the North Sea Fortress.

Raising the telescope, the North Sea Fortress in the lens shimmered with crystal light under a few rays of sunlight, and the whole city did not feel a little life, neither people nor birds and animals could see the slightest human population, and the whole fortress was silent as if it was dead.

For this unusual situation, Margaret had already been mentally prepared, and ordered the mage of the black rose to release several kinds of reconnaissance spells, but the spells disappeared in an instant when they were close to the range of the fortress, and the mages explained that the elemental tide near the fortress was in an extremely chaotic state, and seeing that it was impossible to use spells to reconnoiter from a distance, Margaret sent three teams of ten scout cavalry to explore the way first.

According to the army building concept formulated by Lyster, the scout cavalry is the most elite small group of cavalry, just like the scouts in the previous life, in addition to the basic military literacy, everyone needs to master one or two amazing stunts, because only in this way can they complete impossible tasks for ordinary people.

Bumpy on horseback, Temple commanded his squad to quickly approach the city a kilometer away.

As a ten-year veteran who joined the army from the Black Iron Guard, Temple has extremely rich combat experience, and he has practiced good archery skills in the early years, which makes Temple, who has the talent of Eagle Eye, even more comfortable in the army and has become a famous marksman in the army.

Rejecting the offer to become an officer, Temple, who had always been adventurous, chose a different path and joined the highly mobile, well-paid, but extremely dangerous Scout Cavalry.

After practice, Temple, who was already a talented archer, made his way out of the cavalry archery, and was able to achieve a brilliant number of kills in the harassment tactics every time, and he could also detect the enemy with a pair of eyes with excellent eyesight.

"Shhhh

Seeing that he was about to get within range of the wall, Temple slowed his horse and whistled, and made two laps of his right hand over his head.

Having received the order, the remaining nine archers began to pull themselves apart laterally, crossing Temple near the walls of the city with clusters of ice ballast.

Standing five hundred meters away from the city wall, Temple skillfully removed the precious dragon tendon short bow from his back, and with great speed he found three arrows from the quiver, and firmly clamped the two arrows with his ring finger and little finger, and put the first arrow on the dragon tendon string, pulling the bow arm halfway, which was a burst of fire he invented, capable of shooting three arrows in two seconds.

Whenever any enemy on the walls was exposed, he would draw his bow to the fullest, allowing the arrow to bite into the enemy's body to warn his companions.

Things went even more smoothly than expected, and like the rest of the Scout cavalry squads, several cavalrymen jumped off their horses, used special crossbows to shoot the flying tiger claws connected to the rope at the edge of the wall, and began to climb upwards with two hard pulls.

The twenty-metre-high wall was quickly climbed, and it was not until the first agile cavalry jumped on the wall that Temple let go of the bowstring and retracted the bowstring.

"What's the situation? How about above? Don't you know how to say it when you're dead!? ”

Riding to the lower edge of the city wall, and seeing that his previously clever subordinates did not know how to report as if they were missing, Temple asked loudly with a dark face.

Three seconds later, one of the horsemen poked his head out with a hellish expression, and stammered his speech, and Temple's muscles were full of anger when he saw it.

Romance

"All...... All are dead, they are all dead...... All dead...... Temple Captain ...... Come up and see for yourself......"

Although he didn't know what was going on above, Temple knew that at least there was no danger from above.

It's definitely a good thing that there is no danger on the battlefield, and as for the abnormal behavior of his subordinates, it must be because of some indescribable situation.

After calming the somewhat restless horses, and fastening the saber lock to prevent the saber from falling off, Temple took the bow on his back and began to climb up along the rope that had fallen down, only to feel that the temperature was getting colder and colder the higher he went, and it was obvious that the temperature was very abnormal.

Turning over the edge of the city, the view in front of him slowed Temple's brain by half a beat, and his breathing froze.

This is not a man-made disaster, this is a desperate natural disaster.

Everywhere you look is ice blue, a dead silence of gray-blue city walls, countless Heidi people retain the most true feelings of life, or anger, or fear, or dazed, or desperate, everyone's expression is vivid, the miserable white face in the ice crystals seems to still live in this world, and it seems to be dead, just staring at the living with wide eyes, cursing the people to fall into the deepest fear and dream demons together.

Time froze at a certain moment, and the next, in silence, everyone died in the ice blue terror, and the entire city fortress was shrouded in frost, devouring everyone's soul and taking away all life.

There is no escape, no refusal, only to merge into this dead frost fortress, to become a part of the silence in it, to stand alone for hundreds of years and thousands of years, to become a forgotten sculpture......

Retracting his gaze, Temple opened his mouth to say something, but felt lead in his throat, and his tongue was knotted as if he didn't obey the command.

How many people are in this fortress? And how many people died in this disaster?

Who caused such a catastrophe?

Temple had countless questions in his mind, and he knew at least one thing, that is, the natural disaster in front of him was definitely related to the legion that rushed over when he got the news.

Thinking of this, guessing that the disaster suffered by the Heidi people was related to the Emerald Collar, the slightly relieved man's thoughts began to turn, and he recalled with difficulty the day in the past, when the angel fell, the legion retreated, and the Emerald Lord Lyster who rode the dragon bird Sia left alone, and at that time he seemed to be still sighing, saying that he had missed the best opportunity to take the fortress, reflecting his dissatisfaction with the lord.

If you say...... All of this was done for the vengeful lord alone, and the entire Emerald army just came to receive the endgame......

A cold wind that made the soul shiver blew in his face, and Temple, who was standing on the city wall, shivered unconsciously, and his knees were about to fall to the ground as soon as his knees weakened, but fortunately, the other cavalry supported Temple who was about to fall in time, so that Temple, who was pale, did not make a big fool.

Originally, he was just shocked by the scene in front of him, but after figuring out the cause and effect, Temple only felt endless fear.

"Hair ...... Hair...... Hair ......"

After saying it three times in a row, Temple, who was short of breath with chest tightness, did not smooth out his stiff tongue, but instead asked his subordinates who came out of the shock: "Do you send a safety signal?" ”

Pursing his mouth tightly, Temple motioned for his men to let go of him, but leaned against the wall and nodded slightly.

As three green fireworks symbolizing safety exploded in the air over the city walls, Margaret gave the order to enter the city three kilometers away.
