"I ...... I do not know. ”

When he said this, General Andrea's tone was very low, his eyes were incomprehensible, and even a little ...... Frustration and despair!

At this moment, he did not look like a mighty general at all, but as if he had become a lost and desperate man.

His tone was uncertain and dazed: "On the evening of the third day, we thought we were going to die this time. Although it is our honor to be a soldier of the Empire and to dedicate our lives to defending the Empire, it can be ...... After all, we are unwilling in our hearts, and if we face a murderous enemy, even if it is the iron hooves of the steppe people, I will feel that I have died as I deserve...... But at that time, I thought that the people around me had the same idea: I was a little unwilling to die here inexplicably, under the minions of a group of wild beasts. At that time, the wall of the fortress was almost broken, and the roar of the demon wolf wolf king in the distance was sharp and piercing, and many soldiers were directly stunned in the sharp roar, and after waking up, both ears were bleeding, and they all became deaf.

Some people were directly shocked to death on the spot!

You are not there, Lord Duke, and you cannot understand that feeling by my description alone. There was despair everywhere, and some soldiers had even laid down their arms. The walls of the fortress were pounded.

And in the fortress, the ground is also full of corpses, and there were a few earth dragons that came out of the ground before, and it took us hundreds of deaths to kill those things. Moreover, several mid-level samurai were lost, and many soldiers had no superiors. There is no more chief. Hundreds of corpses were paid. It took a few houses to pull down the holes in the ground.

Some fire-based magical earth monsters spew out earth flames. The outside of the fortress walls has been charred black. Some of the soldiers who fell from the wall were torn to shreds in an instant!

That moment. No one would think we would survive...... But at that time. But a miracle was born.

I think. Maybe it's the goddess blessing...... Forgive me, I wasn't a devout believer before, but after that day I prayed every day.

After the third night's night passed, the demonic beasts outside suddenly fell silent. Originally a violent scene. Suddenly it became silent—it was a strange scene! But then, the leader of the Demon Wolf King. But suddenly he howled a few times, and the sound of that time was not lethal, and then the archers standing on the watchtower. Almost crying out 'They're back, they're back!!'

Everyone was dumbfounded. Until the damn guys. It was as if they had come so suddenly, and they all turned around and ran back into the forest. At that moment. I think everyone has infinite hope in their hearts.

However, the subsequent statistical losses made everyone's hearts bleed! That is a division of 20,000 people! Lord Duke. A jīng sharp division, those brave soldiers. Young life. They braved the ice and snow of the northern land to defend the empire, they could eat cold food and drink snow water to quench their thirst, but they could ride horses and gallop for a day and a night, and their waists could still stand upright! At the end of the count, there were only more than 2,000 people left standing on the ground! Even if the others were still alive, they had completely lost their combat effectiveness. The only thing that awaits them is to be discharged!

What pains me the most is that there are a lot of soldiers. But after the monster retreated. Exhausted the last of his strength. Suddenly, he threw away his weapon. Then he fell to the ground and choked. Never woke up again!!"

General Andrea's eyes were red, and a tear faintly flowed out, and after he wiped it away, he clenched his fists: "General Rostock ordered me not to rest, and immediately led people to Dìdū to report the situation this time...... Although those demonic beasts retreated, this strange phenomenon ...... God knows if it will happen again! if those monsters come again...... Then with our Storm Legion, we will definitely not be able to resist it!

We, the Storm Legion, are not afraid of death, but the attack methods of those demonic beasts really make us unable to resist! Those are not ordinary beasts, but demonic beasts! Often a dozen low-level demonic beasts, emitting fire-based magic, can engulf a city wall in an instant, and can kill dozens of our excellent archers in an instant!

There are also wind-based monsters, which can wield wind blades, even our soldiers in armor can't resist them! On the city walls, how many young men have been cut to death by the wind blades! There are also those earth dragons who can drill into the fortress from the ground......

Damn it!!

To deal with these things, we need more and more power......! It's better to have a magician!

Only a magician can deal with this kind of beast!"

When Du Wei heard this, he was silent.

In his heart, there was a faint great fear!

Northern...... Frozen Forest!

Why did those demonic beasts suddenly go south, or did they go south in droves? It was only because of the earthquake that these things were frightened that they caused a massive migration?

Or?

Anyway, is there something wrong with the dragon clan??

What Du Wei is most concerned about at the moment is - in the end, will the exiled races in the northern region have defeated the territory of the dragon clan?

If yes...... Isn't that exactly what the Pope called "a crisis not seen in a thousand years"!

It seems that only this interpretation is in line with what the Pope said!

Du Wei tried his best to calm down the confusion in his heart, and his voice was a little dry: "General Andre, please allow me to pay tribute to the bravery of the officers and men of your legion! You are the real emperor! You have defended your honor and duty with your lives! You have defended the people of the empire! I will tell the regent everything I heard today." At the same time, I will do my best to convince him and give more support to the north!

As he spoke, Du Wei stood up and bowed deeply to the general with a solemn expression. Andre quickly stood up and returned the salute, and he seemed a little excited when he got Du Wei's promise.

Rodriguez, who was next to him, also stood up. A solemn knightly salute was given to Andrea.

"So to speak. As soon as the beast retreated, you rushed south to the south?"

"Three days and three nights, sleepless. General Andre smiled bitterly: "When we set off." Each brought two extra horses. All of them were the best horses that had been picked out! Half of them had already run away on the road...... There are also some horses that can't support it. When you are on the road. It was handed over to the local garrison officer on the spot. ”

Du Wei couldn't help but be moved.

Coming here from the north, how many thousand miles?

Three days and three nights, without sleep. These guys are really iron men, too.

"Today I see that my brothers really can't support it. Then he ordered to enter this small town to eat something. Otherwise, everyone will continue to gnaw on dry food on horseback. When General Andre said this, Du Wei noticed that, sure enough, the cavalry with him was all emaciated. Although he still looks so strong, he can't hide his exhaustion.

Du Wei was about to say something, but General Andre shook his head with a wry smile: "Lord Duke." You don't have to say anything more. It's a pity. This time we suffered heavy losses. But he was still rushed in by a lot of demonic beasts...... Several large battalions were broken through, and I made my way south. I saw a lot of traces of demonic beasts on the road. A few small towns and villages near the north are in shambles. After those things rushed into the human world. Naturally, it will be messy. Now the north is in chaos. I went all the way south and entered some small cities. It's all panic. Bad news delivers quickly...... Moreover, the cavalry team we sent out to hunt down those demonic beasts did not have much effect. Break through the Warcraft. Preliminary estimates put at least a few hundred. I'm afraid there are even more, and as soon as they walk into the hinterland of the empire, they immediately disperse and wander through the villages and towns. Wild, woods. Or the valleys, which make the hunt even more difficult. And. Once these things get into a city. Generally in the city. Those garrisons, where they have any combat effectiveness, are very capable of resisting this kind of thing.

I even saw along the way that many of the northern residents were already migrating south. ”

Du Wei nodded: "These things." I'm afraid it's not the Storm Legion's ground cavalry that can solve it. Those demonic beasts that rushed in. After scattering. If there is chaos, the harm will not be too great. At that time, all it takes is the Empire to offer some bounty. Naturally, there will be folk magicians, and there will be mercenary organizations that will hunt down ......"

After comforting General Andrew, Du Wei said: "I am worried about the north...... Those demonic beasts suddenly 'migrated' in on a large scale......" Du Wei used the word "migration" instead of "invasion", because it was really difficult to judge in his mind whether these things were due to natural migration after being frightened by the earthquake, or because of some kind of force.

"Other than that, the Frozen Forest, are there any other movements or anomalies?"

General Andre shook his head: "I'm sorry, Lord Duke, I don't know any of this. When I set out, General Rostock had already organized two death squads and sent two teams of warriors who were not afraid of death into the frozen forest to explore what movement or news there was. But I set off right away, so I don't know if they found anything later. But I want to ......"

"What?"

"I think there are some mercenary groups and adventure teams sneaking in and out of the frozen forest all year round. There are also mages who will enter the frozen forest to find the Earth Monsters they need. Perhaps, just in those few days, maybe someone else happened to be in the forest...... Before I left, I had already thought that the commander of the corps, General Rostock, had made this suggestion, and suggested that he make an announcement, search for information, and see if there were any people who had come out of the forest and could provide some valuable clues. ”

Du Wei nodded: "That's a good idea. ”

Then he glanced at General Andrew: "Okay, I see that you are also very tired, I think you might as well take these warriors of yours here to rest tonight." After all......"

Andre immediately shook his head: "No, Lord Duke, thank you for your kindness." However, before I set out, General Rostock issued a strict order that I must arrive in Dìdū within five days. The official document I carried with me had an order signed by him and a time limit! I had to feel in time that the command had been confirmed by the military department's signature before I could complete my mission...... Otherwise, if I fail to meet the deadline, I will have violated military law! My lord, and this matter is urgent, and I cannot delay, although I am tired, those dead brothers are watching me! If I delay time, I will be condemned by my conscience!"

Du Wei admired this General Andre more and more in his heart, and after sighing, he touched it from his arms for a while, but he took out two bottles, handed them over, and said, "I believe you also know that I am also a magician. This is a magic potion I have concocted, which is used to heal injuries and also allows people to quickly restore their jīng strength. Please accept my gift for you and your men to drink and relieve some fatigue. ”

After a pause, Du Wei said to Rodriguez: "You go to the cavalry guarding us, and ask them to give up twenty of their best horses to General Andre and his men." I see that General Andre and his horses have traveled so far, I am afraid that the horsepower is also a little lacking. ”

General Andre was immediately grateful, took the two magic potion bottles from Du Weidi, and then took a deep breath: "Lord Duke, thank you for your kindness......!

"I will do my best!" Du Wei solemnly swore.

Du Wei opened his mouth to ask for horses, where did those garrison cavalry dare to refuse, and immediately picked out twenty horses and replaced them with Andre and his subordinates, and then this tough guy from the north, after getting on the horse, nodded to Du Wei, and without saying much, he shouted, took his twenty horsemen, and went south like the wind.

The dusty cloak fluttered, but it looked so bright......
