Principality of Ernifea, border of Taron County, Fars Fortress.
The majestic and tall fortress wall stands on the border of Eta County as usual. It not only gives a great psychological impact to everyone who comes and goes here, but also gives unparalleled pride to the border soldiers guarding here.
Feeling. But now, these thoughts in everyone's mind have disappeared, because the invasion from the empire has advanced before their eyes.
Before they were even ready, crossbow arrows landed on their heads.
Due to the empire's advocating force, the empire's combat power is much higher than that of the principality, and this part of the combat power is mainly reflected in the strength and quality of individual soldiers and the coordination of troops, and there is much less in technological elements such as magic. But only relying on
With these, the empire's cavalry has already stepped to the east of Zaraha City, under the walls of Fars Fortress. If this fortress, which has never been captured, is captured by the empire again, it will be so far away from the Principality of Ernifia.
I'm afraid its demise is not far away.
Now, looking at the crowds of people fighting under the city wall, General Dusk has no confidence at all that he will not let the scenes he described before become a reality - he did not send out reinforcements in order to save strength.
Some of the troops have already been dispatched at this time.
Standing attentively, with his hands clasped, the general kept his eyes on the southwest of the battlefield - where the fiercest fighting was. He didn't even notice that his hat was crooked. From time to time, one of his subordinates would quietly run to his side.
Around him, he reported the latest situation to himself, but every time he waved his hand feebly, asking them to leave again and again.
The people who have been sent out are almost all of his troops. He has no way to deal with the remaining changes on the battlefield.
A few days ago, relying on the remaining defense of Zaraha City, the principality's troops barely regained part of the position, and then opened the battle line, blocking the imperial army to the west of Zaraha City's front line, and at the same time, the situation was
Controlling the county of Felong County, additional personnel have been deployed within the military headquarters, and the latest information and references from the Speaker were also handed to him, but those mentioned in those things were dispatched from various counties in the principality.
However, due to the indecision of the parliament, it has never been realized. It was just like this, but a group of people appeared from nowhere and raided the battlefield in the southeastern part of Zaraha City.
A few people destroyed all the defense facilities there, and even killed several magicians stationed there. The communication was not reported back, so when Dusk knew this information, the Empire's Snow Wolf Army had already used
With the fastest speed, he broke through the temporary gap and burned the flames of war between the two sides in front of him.
It sounds like those people are still a group of adventurers... It's really a fucking ghost!
There was no time to think about why adventurers were helping the empire. Dusk hurriedly sent out his troops to block the front of the empire's elite, trying to resolve the battle outside the city - if the Snow Wolf Army were to rush in like this
In front of Fars Fortress, when they consolidated the front line and the siege troops arrived, they really had no confidence in blocking their attack. You must know that behind them, there are tens of thousands of imperial troops.
That gap is leaking through.
However, judging from the current situation, the actual results have not changed much.
There is a gap in the abilities of the soldiers and a lack of combat awareness. The coordination between the troops has not even reached the level of training. These brats who are accustomed to being raised in the rear no longer know how to fight. Facing the tiger-wolf emperor
At that time, they were so frightened that they could not even lift their weapons. If it were not for the air support provided by the magicians standing on the walls of the fortress, this "evenly matched battle" would soon turn into a defeat for their side.
However, this situation will definitely not last.
The magic of mages is limited. In this sudden battle, several magicians have been carried down by soldiers due to lack of magic power, and some have been counterattacked by the empire. They are on the ground every minute.
The troops were wiped out in the raid, which made General Dusk feel distressed - after the Snow Wolf Army stabilized the battlefield, many special forces from the empire also entered the battlefield, showing off their respective strengths, and for the Principality's magician war
They have many ways to restrain their power. In addition to a small amount of magic bombardment, a large number of magic shields and anti-magic fields for individual soldiers appear on the vast battlefield. Among them are special forces armed with anti-magic weapons.
Always pay attention to the location of enemy magicians appearing on the battlefield, so as to pounce on the magic units as soon as they are found, and carry out a devastating blow to them. With the perfect cooperation of several units, the entire battlefield is like an imperial palace.
In a training ground in **, everything was constantly changing in their favor. While gradually eating away at the Principality's troops, it also made Dusk's face paler.
If... if something like that happens, there is a vast plain behind Fars Fortress. Although there are several towns and inns in the middle, those things definitely cannot be used as strategic points to defend.
Yes, the only thing left is Tania, the capital of the principality, and the piles of adventurer stations... By the way! You can use those stations! But...
When something like this happens, can we trust those risk-takers?
What happened on the front line has been reported, but it should not reach the hands of Horsman and Pamir so quickly. However, even if he hears about such things, he will also be concerned about the improvised adventurers outside the city.
Be extremely skeptical... Dusk leaned forward, holding on to the city wall with both hands. His eyes were still staring at the northwest of the battlefield, but his mind was involuntarily thinking about other things and the fall.
The next arrangement. He gritted his teeth and kept pushing away the reporting soldiers. At a certain moment, when he saw that the troops in the northwest could no longer hold back and fled backwards, he shouted to the guards next to him.
"Inform Jala! Let him take his people up! Go to the left!" He waved his hands vigorously in the air: "You! And you! Get the remaining magicians ready! We are going to give them a wall on the city wall.
Big gift!"
"And..." After all the orders were given, he waved and called another guard: "Go and notify the people in the city and let them get ready..."
"Get ready to retreat," he whispered.
"Don't be so anxious."
A gentle female voice suddenly appeared next to the general, startling him and the guards next to him.
"You, you, you...who are you!"
The gorgeous blue robe floated as the woman turned around, and accompanied by a burst of violet floral fragrance, it fell on her legs again. The woman holding the staff inlaid with a huge blue gem had a smile on her face, but ignored the general's words.
questioning and panic.
"On the order of Pamir, I am here to assist you." Her voice was slow, as if she was spending her own vacation: "To be precise...it is to assist all the principality troops."
She swayed her waist and walked to the front of the city wall, putting her hands on her hands and looking at the vast battlefield below: "I didn't expect to encounter such a fierce battle so soon..."
Ignoring the general's scolding behind her, Christine closed her eyes and slowly raised the staff in her hand. There was wind blowing from above the city wall, but the next moment the wind turned into biting cold air.
.
"Remember to ask your people... to clean up the battlefield."
These were the last words left by Christine - the ice-blue light belonging to the water element spurted out from her robe, and turned into a dazzling bright light in just the blink of an eye.
The temperature was dropping, the elements were shaking, and the entire Fars Fortress began to shake. As the cold current flowed out from the city walls, the roar of the elements came from the air, and the harsh roar passed through the entire battlefield.
Floated further into the sky.
The sky and the earth change color.

"Drink!"
Another ice ape fell to Nan Tieshan's hands. He turned around with a smile and made a strong pose towards the two "newbies" behind him, showing off the monster corpses on the ground.
"Did you see it? This is the power of the new weapon! Hahahaha!"
Laughing with his hands on his hips, Nan Tieshan walked up to the other two people without any concern for the other monsters this might attract: "Every time [Punch] hits the target, my attack power will increase! This attribute is really
It’s so perverted, so perverted! Hahahaha!”
"I know..." Duan Qing responded feebly, without any of the self-conscious attitude he had when he was his younger brother.
"Hahaha... Okay, okay, I understand, isn't it because I haven't been 'sold' anything? Don't be so discouraged." Nan Tieshan patted Duan Qing on the shoulder: "Look, she's not
Have you gone up the mountain? You might meet her again, so you should seize the opportunity when the time comes!"
"I should also thank her properly! Hahahaha!"
Duan Qing covered his face and didn't want to pay attention to this big man who had grown all the way. He sat on the stone beside the road and continued to sigh.
Several people have climbed to a considerable height along the road. The temperature has gradually dropped with the increase in altitude, and it has even started to feel cold. During the climb, Nantieshan has been cleaning up the monsters along the way.
, and those human-like apes gradually turned into snow-white ice apes.
It seemed that they were getting closer and closer to the snow.
Due to the inexplicable rejection before, Duan Qing, who came all the way, had begun to doubt his own life, so listlessness and indifference became his normal state. Even Xue Ling Huan Bing, who didn't talk much, couldn't stand it, and comforted him along the way.
She ignored him for a while. But every time she said a bunch of comforting words such as "Smile at life, you will sneak into Europe one day", Duan Qing would silently point to the stone hanging on her waist,
Then he looked at the other person with resentful eyes.
【Water Stone(empty)】
[A gem that contains the energy of the water element, but after a long period of loss, the power has disappeared. 】
【There is a possibility of regaining strength.】
[Special Effect: Dispelling Fog]
"The rocks you pick up are so good, why am I being hated for no reason..."
"This stone has no effect anymore. Now it can only be used to dispel the fog..."
"Don't even think about lying to me. I can't understand the description. This thing will obviously have room for upgrading in the future, okay?" The resentment on Duan Qing's head was about to materialize: "And you think dispelling fog is some rubbish skill?
Well, maybe we can use it soon..."
"...If you want it," Xue Ling Huan Bing suddenly whispered, "I can give it to you."
"Uh." Duan Qing's resentment was dispersed a little: "No need, it's just a broken rock. I have crushed rocks much more powerful than this... Huh?"
He suddenly raised his head and looked at the front of the mountain road - the mountain road at this time had completely narrowed a lot, and due to the height, the vegetation here was almost non-existent, and there were exposed rocks and gravel on both sides, quite
There was a feeling of desolation, but at this time Duan Qing, together with Nan Tieshan, had noticed the front of the narrow mountain road.
An ice ape was stuck there, but it was much bigger.
"Humph, baby, all the adults in your family have been beaten away by me..." The proud Nan Tieshan clenched his fists and walked up to Bing Yuan: "You are still here...
"
"Get in the way!"
He punched out, sending the cowering Ice Monkey flying away.
With a squeaking sound, it rolled a long way along the slope up the mountain, and then disappeared behind a certain big rock. Although the situation was a bit abnormal, Nan Tieshan, who was in high spirits, didn't care.
Standing there laughing, Duan Qing looked at the figure that was completely inconsistent with the ice ape he met in the previous battle, and asked with some confusion: "Why is there a monster blocking there?"
"And that's after we fight all the monsters..."
"Hahahaha! What are you afraid of? Their whole family is dead. Of course this kid doesn't want to live, right, so he went out to die on his own... Uh." Nan Tieshan, who was standing in front, laughed and turned around, then
...The laughter suddenly stopped.
Duan Qing followed his stunned expression and looked behind him, and as expected saw a scene that shocked him.
"Roar!"
A huge ice ape stared with two red eyes and roared at the three people in front of it.
"It seems that their child is not the only one left." Amidst the deafening thumping of his chest, Duan Qing pulled Xue Linghuan Bing and ran towards the front of the mountain road: "The eldest brother hasn't come out yet!"
"Don't panic! Don't panic! What are you afraid of? Maybe it's just an empty frame, just bigger..." The big man in black armor in front shouted loudly, but judging from his trembling voice, this man was
His mood was not as steady as what he said, so Duan Qing and Xueling Huanbing ran past him without hesitation.
"If you don't believe it, just try it yourself..."
"What are you afraid of! Just give it a try..."
I don't know whether it was because he insisted on his own self-esteem or because he was concerned about his own face. Nan Tieshan still did not turn around and run away immediately. Instead, he mustered up the courage to take two steps forward. But the next moment, he also gave up on himself.
The previous thought turned around and ran away.
Behind him, the huge ice ape picked up a huge boulder and smashed it in the direction of the climbers.
