You can see a vast frozen ocean, with numerous seabirds flying across the sky.
Greenland whales emerge from the cold sea, and seals nap on the floating ice floes. On the islands along the coast, polar bears watch eagerly.
Northern reindeer galloped through the snow-white coniferous forest. The local Inuit people rode on the backs of the reindeer, wearing animal fur coats, and drove back to the village with their hounds leading the way.
Hearing the restless barking of the hounds, the villagers walked out of their low stone houses in the ice and snow, only to see an anxious-looking messenger sitting on the back of the reindeer.
"Monsters!" the messenger shouted, "a large group of monsters appeared at the end of the horizon!"
There are numerous and extremely vicious monsters living in the ocean. Most of them are strange in shape and huge in size, and some are as intelligent as humans.
Affected by the Arctic magnetic field, giant monsters exceeding 100 meters in the Arctic Ocean, such as deep-sea giant crabs, king squids, killer whales, etc., will move towards the coast of the ice ocean from time to time.
Therefore, every year in the North Country, more than ten whaling ships are killed, nearly a thousand sailors are killed, and the losses to coastal villages are countless.
In this cruel, unpredictable world 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, lover... carrying all hopes, go to the northern imperial capital 'Thousand Winters City', join the army of Emperor Augustus, and sacrifice everything to save the people in this ice and snow country.
Hearing the messenger's words, the village chief's face suddenly turned pale. He turned around and yelled weird syllables towards the small village with less than five households. Then there was the sound of pots and pans. Women wrapped their heads in thick scarves and furs, wrapped in furniture, pulling children and hurried away.
.
Snow fell in the coniferous forest, leaving deep and shallow footprints of the fleeing team.
Most of them are old people and women, and most of the young adults are far away from the villages.
When the fleeing team arrives at a new location, they will build low houses with stones and mud. Some even use ice and snow to build temporary housing, and move again when disaster strikes.
"Ivan! Ivan!" the woman shouted anxiously.
The boy has a very common name. He is only about 10 years old, short in stature, with straight black hair, and a face with a wide nose. But his eyes are as blue as the sea, shining with a desire that is rare among local residents.
Ivan broke free from the woman's pull and ran along the path he had dug in the snow. He tripped over dead branches and fell heavily into the snow pit. The woman's cry came from behind:
"Ivan...what are you going to do, Ivan! Be good and escape with us!"
Ivan grabbed a handful of snow, turned his head and said harshly to his mother:
"I am no longer a child! I lit the fire!" He showed the fire in his palm to the dull villagers, "I want to join the army of Emperor Augustus! I want to save you all!"
The fleeing team was forced to stop. The messenger rode the reindeer back to the rear. Looking at the mother and son who were confronting each other with red eyes and gritted teeth, he said in a stiff tone:
"The fire has been lit... It's just the beginning... You can only be considered as the first level... Those monsters are all above the sixth level..."
Ivan lowered his head and remained silent. His mother raised her rough and broad palm high, and finally she just gently placed it on Ivan's cheek, crying:
"Come with us, okay? When you settle down, I'll sell everything and let you go to Qianfuyu City..."
Ivan looked at his mother's tattered package and said loudly: "What you have is not enough to support yourself!"
"I can beg others, borrow money from them, go to the village chief, go to the messenger..."
Everyone whose mother looked at them silently looked away. She puffed up her chest again and said proudly:
"I can still work. When you are in Qianfuyu City, I can wash clothes for others..."
Ivan's eyes were red. He thought it was time to leave and vented:
"I can take care of myself!"
He ran along the snowy path, stumbling and quickly disappearing into the white world of snowflakes.
The woman's eyes were distracted, and she seemed to be missing a piece of her heart. She moved her gaze from the villagers, as if asking them what happened just now. Everyone just lowered their heads.
They also want to sponsor Ivan and let him go to Qiandong City. But that is a huge amount of money, and I am afraid that several families will have to risk their lives to starve and freeze to death in exchange for a card master who does not know when he will come back.
A stable village will definitely help Ivan, but when the villagers have no time to take care of themselves, they can only pray to Indra, the 'Lord of Elements and Nature', to show his favor to Ivan.
Ivan's back had disappeared, and the woman suddenly burst into tears. She knelt down in the direction where the child ran away, and murmured:
"Please protect this child...Emperor Augustus...Indra, the Lord of Nature..."
Arctic Ocean.
The killer whale jumped out of the water with a bang, setting off huge waves, the three-hundred-meter-tall king squid's eyes glowed red, and the big-headed fish opened its ferocious mouth.
They were originally spiritual creatures born from the world in the deep sea, but they were contaminated by the aura of 'doomsday' and grew into grotesque shapes while being filled with the desire for destruction.
Boom!!
One of the tentacles of the king squid whipped on the sea surface, smashing ice floes and sending up hundreds of feet of ice and huge waves.
Ivan stood on the shore not far from the village, his face pale and his teeth chattering.
He had heard people talk about the horror of monsters in the deep sea, but he never thought that they were all like filthy and ugly demons.
It's like...a creature not created by the Lord of Creation, but more like an alien invader.
Although I had ignited the fire, my family could not afford a card. If I stayed, it would be a drag on my mother...
So, I'm going to come here.
Ivan stood on the coast of the turbulent ice ocean and saw the hideous and terrifying behemoth. He trembled all over and felt a fire swaying in his heart.
Not to seek death... but to wait for the fleet from Qianfuyu City!
Ivan heard a story told by a homeless man, saying that whenever a crisis in the Northland comes, the fleet built by the card master from Qiandong City will arrive as scheduled.
This fleet is invincible, not only because their leader is Emperor Augustus, but more importantly, with their homeland behind them, they will not take another half step back.
Bang!!
The deep-sea giant crab smashed its giant pincers at the ice floe, causing ice edges to splash, and the seals jumped into the water one after another to escape.
The Greenland whale was badly injured in a pool of blood soaked in crimson red, and it raised its head and let out a mournful cry.
The overlord squid rolled its indifferent eyes, staring at the trembling Ivan on the shore, and raised one of its tentacles high.
Ivan closed his eyes tightly. At this moment, he heard a cold and majestic order:
"Broadside fire!!"
boom!!
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 deep-sea monster.
For a moment, flames shot into the sky, smoke and rust-smelling blood floated in the ice ocean, and the continuous rumbling sounds were like the wrath of the God of Thunder, stirring the entire sky and ocean.
Ivan opened his eyes in disbelief.
This is a fleet, from the guardian of Thousand Winters City, the Northland Fleet.
The small ships guarding the main ship were like scattered wolves, targeting smaller monsters and bombarding them with torpedoes and ammunition.
On the deck of the main ship, Emperor Augustus stood proudly. Her eyes were as cold as glaciers, she was wearing a white navy uniform, and her long blue hair was flying under a white navy cap.
"The seventh-level overlord squid."
Augustus whispered: "Yes, it's worth my while."
Reaching out to the side, her dark blue fire surged out with a cluster of cold and cold energy, and then manifested into a spear that was as bright as a shooting star, enough to shock the world.
This spear is very much like the eternal spear held by Odin in mythology, Kungunir!
Emperor Augustus held a spear and threw it with all his strength. The tip of the spear touched the sea surface, and the icy cold power spread, freezing the entire sea in an instant!
He jumped up, tapped the handle of the gun with his toes and kicked it. Augustus held the handle of the gun that spun back and moved quickly on the ice. The ferocious monster roaring up to the sky was reflected in his cold pupils.
Ivan opened his mouth blankly.
The whole world seemed to be frozen. The spear condensed extremely cold ice crystals, and suddenly exploded with thunder. It gathered the dual elements of ice and thunder, and the spear was thrown out. At this moment, it was like there was a mixture of nature and
The divine punishment of Indra, the Lord of Elements, descends on the ice ocean.
Boom!!
Pale electric light danced wildly on the sea, and cold snowflakes fell under the lead-colored sky.
The ice gradually melted, and the fleet of steel beasts stood ready on the sea. The steel shell reflected the brilliance of the setting sun in the clouds.
Augustus walked on the sea, her waist-length blue hair swaying gently, and with every step she took, a piece of floating ice gathered under her high boots.
Behind her, the giant monster that covered the sky was either torn apart by ice or blown into ashes. The corpse turned into particles of light and floated into the sky.
Augustus raised his head and stared, listening to the enthusiastic cheers erupted by the Northland fleet. There was no joy in his heart, only a hint of loneliness.
The breath of doom is getting closer...
I am bound to explore the road to the Holy Land alone.
After counting the battlefield and casualties, Ivan was brought before Augustus by the officers.
After hearing the cause and effect, she said coldly:
"You want to join the Northern Fleet?"
Ivan was nervous for a while and nodded tremblingly: "Yes."
Augustus put it succinctly:
"Send him to the academy. Also, support his family."
"clear!"
The officer lowered his head and took Ivan away. On the way, he whispered to Ivan:
"where u from?"
Ivan reported out of the house, and a smile appeared on the officer's stern face:
"It doesn't matter, my family is also poor. But Sir Augustus, regardless of your background, as long as you are capable enough, you will be recognized by her."
The cold sea breeze blew Augustus' long blue hair. She stood on the deck and looked at a seal taking a nap on an ice floe.
Augustus threw a card. The naive polar bear landed on the ice floe and drooled at the seal.
This is her most trustworthy partner, a female snow bear with the power of thunder. She originally wanted to call her "Polar Bear".
But at the suggestion of the consul Anna, Augustus named it 'Diana', which means the goddess of hunting.
"Woo!" The seal was alert and jumped on its belly fat to jump into the sea, but was grabbed by the polar bear's hind flippers.
The natural enemies of seals include killer whales, polar bears, and great white sharks... being favored by so many big bosses can be said to be a 'leopard's cry'.
"Lord Augustus."
"What's the matter?" Augustus turned around and saw her consul Anna standing respectfully.
"Are you sure you want to participate 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 bring out mythical objects related to the eighth level. I am also looking forward to it."
Anna nodded thoughtfully and then said:
"Over there in the Origin World, there is a card master named 'Epee Man' who wants to make an appointment for a duel with you."
"Well, how is your strength?"
Augustus never looked down on others because of their origins, and she would not reject others because of the emperor's arrogance. As long as the other party showed enough strength, he could win her attention.
"According to the rumors in the source world, he is a seventh-level card master. But he sent an email to your public mailbox, and the content mentioned [Sacred Realm]."
"Sacred Realm..."
Augustus's eyes changed slightly, he put his chin with his white-gloved hand, thought for a long time, and nodded gently:
