The war has entered a white-hot phase.

Duanmu Huai wielded a warhammer, smashing a frost giant to the ground as it tried to break through the fortress, and then looked ahead. More than an hour has passed since the battle began, and for now, the fortress is still able to hold out. The races that attack the fortress are frost giants, ice wolves, and a large number of goblins. Their tactics are simple, with the Frost Giants attacking the walls and gates in an attempt to make a gap in them, while the countless white ice wolves scurry around like a surging tide, attracting the attention of the defenders along with the goblins.

On the side of Luminas, in the face of the attack of the monster army, it seems to advance and retreat in moderation. The mages chanted magic, and if a frost giant approached, they would be knocked to the ground by a blazing fireball. The knights held their shields high at the edge of the fortress walls, and armed with shields and blades to fight the goblins and ice wolves that rushed up.

"This kind of fight is really boring."

The flail flickered, then vanished, and a moment later she appeared beside Duanmu Huai, and the goblin and the ice wolf between the two of them fell to the ground at this time, turning into a cold corpse.

"Master, isn't there anything more fun?"

"I think you can change your weapon."

Duanmu Huai glanced at the short sword in the flail rose's hand, this was still what she had touched in the dark area, although Duanmu Huai didn't know why the flail didn't manipulate the silk thread and the puppet to fight like Ogis, but in this case, a thief-type profession did play a limited role.

"I want to too, but I don't know what to use, anyway, I don't want to be the same as my sister."

"Then it can't be helped."

A frost giant roared and crashed towards the city wall, Duanmu Huai shook it casually, only to see the thunder hammer fly out of Duanmu Huai's hand directly, and hit the frost giant's face directly, and the thunder and lightning that erupted were as dense as spider webs, instantly turning all the enemies around him into a pile of pitch-black charcoal.

"Why don't I give you a new mission, you go and see what happens behind this group of monsters."

"Back?"

"That's right, the army is bound to have a commander, and this is just the beginning, although I'm not sure if this monster army has a commander, but what if?"

"Okay then."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's request, Rose nodded.

"By the way, if there is a commander, can I take it out?"

"Absolutely."

"Understood."

The moment the words fell, the figure of the flail flashed and disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, someone shouted.

"The enemy has climbed the western wall!!"

Perhaps negligently, or perhaps because of the fatigue of the battle, the knights of Luminus gradually began to be unable to resist the attacks of the monsters, and the ice wolves roared and leaped to their feet, their sharp claws directly grasping the frozen walls, and jumped onto the walls in twos and threes, and the goblins sitting on the back of the ice wolves let out a cry of victory, and the knights of Luminus raised their shields again, trying to drive the invaders who had forced their way up the walls.

However, at this moment, a white figure appeared from the crowd.

Aurelia wielded her sword, as dazzling as a flower blooming on the battlefield, her movements as light as petals fluttering in a blizzard, and she rushed into her enemies with the raging waves. The shining sword light bloomed in an instant, and the luxurious and elegant image was as intoxicating as a work of art.

However, those ice wolves and goblins obviously had different opinions on this, but unfortunately, they didn't have time to express their dissatisfaction, and with the flash of the sword, blood marks burst out from their bodies, and then these ice wolves and goblin riders fell directly to the ground and died.

Ovilla withdrew his sword, and not a single trace of blood could be seen on his pure white robe. And the Luminus knights also took advantage of this opportunity to rush forward again and regain the positions they had almost lost.

"Your Highness!!"

The black-haired maid hurried over, her longsword stained with blood, but the black-haired maid clearly didn't care about that now.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

Ovilla shook his head.

"Is the line of defense okay?"

"It's pretty solid, and to be honest, I didn't expect to be able to hold on until now."

"yes..............."

Ovilla knew what his maid was talking about, the monster army was constantly attacking, and Luminus could only rely on the walls and fortresses to defend. The cold stone walls may not be tired, but there are limits to people. Under such a reckless onslaught of the monster army, they were able to hold on until now without collapsing.........

"It seems that it was the right decision to invite that Mr. Inquisitor to fight with us."

As she spoke, Aurelia turned her head to look at the city gate——— Duanmu Huai didn't bother to play a game of cat and mouse with those invaders on the city wall, and he contracted the entire main gate of the fortress alone. He didn't even stand on the walls of the fortress, but jumped directly to the gate, wielding a war hammer to block the monsters' attacks wave after wave, and where his thunder hammer swept, with the glow of thunder and lightning, a large number of monsters died. Even the Frost Giant, who was taller than Duanmu Huai, was no match for this Iron Warrior.

"Roaring —————!!"

A frost giant grabbed the trunk of a large tree and smashed it directly at the Duanmu locust. Duanmu Huai did not dodge at all, roared angrily in the face of the oncoming tree trunk, and blasted out with a backhand, directly smashing the trunk in the hands of the frost giant into two, and then he rushed forward and came to the frost giant's body, the thunder war hammer roared and tore through the blizzard, and smashed heavily on the frost giant's knee, and then saw the frost giant's entire right leg completely exploded, and the frost giant, who had lost his balance and limbs, screamed and fell to the ground——— and then his head was directly smashed into pieces by Duanmu Huai.

Compared to Aurelia, who was pure white and flawless, and did not even have a drop of blood on his cloak, Duanmu Huai was covered in blood, and the dark red blood stained his jet-black armor and golden skull on the Aquila pattern, he looked like a demon walking in the human world.

O'Gis followed Duanmu Huai's side as always, she still rarely moved, but her fingers shook slightly, and the invisible silk thread formed a fishing net, stopping all the fish that tried to go down the river, and cut it directly into sashimi.

Frankly speaking, Duanmu Huai and Ogis together are even worth a Luminus Knights.

"Hmph."

The black-haired maid snorted dissatisfiedly, she didn't like Duanmu Huai at all, but the fact was here, if it weren't for Duanmu Huai guarding the gate, then I'm afraid this frozen fortress would have been breached by now.

"How long is the fleet?"

"I don't know, but they're going to come today."

"Hopefully the fleet will arrive soon."

Saying this, a complicated expression appeared in Aurelia's eyes.

"Maybe they'll be there soon, if we can survive this wave of attacks."

Duanmu Huai once again repelled a wave of enemies and withdrew his gaze from Aurelia.

He always felt that there was something wrong with Aurelia and that he didn't want to talk about this illogical act of inviting himself to battle. Even her performance in battle is very strange, indeed, from a normal situation, the current Aurelia can be regarded as a pioneer, and she also does her best in battle, and can be regarded as a loyal knight. But Duanmu Huai's intuition as an inquisitor was not like this, he always felt that Aurelia was acting, and what she did was not really to completely defeat these monster armies, but more like it was for the knights of Luminus, like a performance, in order to let them see that they were fighting hard.

Just behave like being at your desk when your boss comes to you, and you seem to have a lot of important things to do, but they're all busy.

This is also the reason why Duanmu Huai did not immediately burst out with all his strength to defeat the monster army, of course he could do it, but Duanmu Huai did not intend to do this. Aurelia's fall into a dark swordsman is also a favorite story among players.,A lot of second-creation books are based on this theme.,After all, it's evil or something......... Well, it's exciting.

But in fact, in the experience of the Inquisitors, there are generally two kinds of degenerate betrayers.

One is that there is a long idea of betrayal, and the depravity is just a matter of pushing the boat down the river.

The other is the one who didn't have this idea, but in the end succeeded under the trajectory of the enemy's various conspiracies.

Players have always thought that Aurelia is the second type.,So most of the books are drawn according to this aspect.。

But for now, Duanmu Huai suspects that it is likely to be the first type.

Aurelia's performance and what she said seemed to be false, although she was trying to defend the fortress, but in Duanmuhuai's eyes, she only focused on the "effort" part, and as for whether the fortress itself could be defended, Aurelia didn't seem to particularly care——— as if it didn't matter if the fortress was breached.

This is clearly not right, as a ruler, it is the result that matters, not the process. According to common sense, as Aurelia is, she should do whatever it takes to stop the monster army from breaking through the fortress. No matter how many people are sacrificed, she can't hesitate.

Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case now.

Duanmu Huai wanted to see what Aurelia would behave if the fortress was breached, but after thinking about it carefully, he still gave up this idea, Duanmu Huai also counted on going to the territory of Luminas to find a group of talents to help with internal affairs, if the monster broke through the fortress and penetrated deep into the country of Luminas, then his trip would be in vain.

However, at this moment, suddenly, a fierce roar came, which made Duanmu Huai and the knights fighting on the city wall all raise their heads and look towards the sky. Then they saw a huge white shadow rushing out of the clouds in the dark, gloomy sky, and swooping down on them.

Is that...............

"Dragon !!"

At the screams of the knights, a dragon about the size of the fortress fell from the sky, it opened its mouth, launched a fierce surprise attack on the fortress——— the biting cold wind howled by, and the knights led by it did not even have time to dodge before they were turned into ice sculptures by the bone-chilling cold. Then the dragon flicked its wings again and raised its head again.........

"Evil dragon, prepare to die!!"

However, at this moment, with a rebuke, Duanmu Huai saw Aurelia leap up, shooting out from the city wall, holding a long sword and stabbing straight at the dragon in front of him. Her expression was extremely resolute, and her whole person seemed to be a dazzling white flower in full bloom at this moment.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of Luminus immediately cheered and their morale was greatly boosted.

However, only Duanmu Huai saw the ———indifference and numbness in Aurelia's eyes.
