Several ice sculptures were sitting or lying in the snow. The expressions on the faces of men and women were all the same stiff and empty. Their almost frozen gazes were staring straight into the sky, lifeless inside. Freya was a little sad.
Passing by these ice sculptures, I silently stroked their cold eyelids with my hands.
Just like what the previous scout said, Jade and Anika had no obvious scars on their bodies. Their skin was gray and white, had lost moisture and was tightly packed together. Together with the corpse of the kneeling war horse beneath them, it was covered with blood.
Ice and snow, on the surface, look like those who were frozen to death in the snow, but how could five or six people be frozen to death together by such a coincidence, not to mention that Ainika and Jade are both gold-level warriors.
Such low temperatures should have no effect on them at all.
Freya noticed the empty eyes of Jade and Anika. In her memory, there was a way of death with such similar eyes, that is, being deprived of warmth by a ghost. Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered the story of escaping from Ridenburg.
That night, Brando used the white stag to guide them.
Under the gloomy night, majestic creatures emitting white light cleared the way through the forest. But what she remembered most deeply was the people who died at the hands of ghosts. Their faces were pale and dripping with sweat. They also had such hollow expressions, as if they had lost their lives.
Like a soul.
Freya raised her head, somewhat warily. She and her team were already in a silver-gray forest. The howling snow wind passed through the bare branches, and they made strange sounds, like monsters roaring among the forest.
"They are ghosts. The spirits in the mountains and forests can absorb people's souls. This forest must be their territory. We have to leave here as soon as possible." Among Cruz's knights, a dark-skinned young man said nervously: "When I was a child
I often hear old people talking about their legends. No one can kill them. Once we are entangled by them, we will be dead."
"That's enough, Rollo, you are a gold-level warrior. All those ghosts and ghosts are not many of your opponents. If they come, we will just avenge Jade and Ainika!" The knight named Alea was a little worried.
He replied impatiently, turned around, looked at Freya, and asked: "Miss Freya, do you think there may really be ghosts in this forest?" The commander he spoke of was also upgraded to a commander.
'Miss Freya'. Because Freya's decision won the trust of every Cruz person present - and trust is the basis of cooperation.
"Ainika is the same as you. They died without any warning, so what can you do?" Rollo asked without mercy, staring at him closely.
"So we should just tuck our tails between our legs and run away? That's enough. Don't mention Ainika to me. It will only make me angry. Rollo, don't let me look down on you!" Alea replied angrily.
"Alaya, shut up. Is this how you talk to your companions?" Little Perlo finally couldn't bear it anymore. He tugged on the soft chinchilla skin hood, scolded him, and then turned back to Rollo and said
: "Rolo, the knight broke his sword and swore an oath to never abandon his companions. I will pretend I didn't hear what you said before, but don't let me hear you a second time."
The dark-skinned young man seemed a little afraid of him. He was warned, but he didn't dare to say anything back. He could only stare here silently. Alaya also snorted and turned back. He grabbed the sword and looked at the forest.
Direction, it seemed that although he didn't believe Rollo's words, he at least was more vigilant.
Little Perlo turned back, looked at Freya and asked: "Miss Freya, what do you think? Rollo at least said something right. Anika and the others died without warning, even if it was a sneak attack,
It’s too peaceful. Anika is a senior scout, no less than me.”
Freya frowned. The corpses of Anika, Jade and others did not look like they had experienced a fight before they were alive. They seemed to have suddenly fallen dead while walking, but they were four gold-level warriors.
. She looked in that direction and suddenly noticed a subtle detail:
"Senior sister, have you noticed their gazes?"
"Huh?" Nimesis raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Anika and the others should have been looking ahead, at the forest. There might be something in the forest that attracted their attention," Freya replied.
"What exactly did they find in the forest?" Alea asked.
"It's definitely not the attacker. If the attacker came from the direction of the forest, it's impossible for Anika and the others to not react at all." Little Pelo replied.
The others looked at each other and couldn't imagine what could be in the forest that would make Anika and the others relax their vigilance. You must know that Ainika and Jade and the others are professional scouts in the Broken Sword Knights. They are
The best nightingales are soldiers among soldiers and will never let down their guard easily.
The wind and snow seemed to subside a little for a while, and everyone felt a strange silence rising among them. They couldn't help but look at the silver-gray forest, and suddenly felt a little creepy.
"Did you hear something?" Someone suddenly asked. The man was wearing leather armor and a dark brown robe underneath. He was the only accompanying priest among the Cruz knights.
"What's wrong?" Alea asked inexplicably.
"Shhh, listen, there is a sound in the wind." Little Perlo put a finger to his lips with a serious expression and winked at the others.
Everyone shut their mouths, and a low but sharp sound came from the wind, which sounded like a whistle. The sound came from far away, and suddenly flew up from the forest with a crash. Everyone subconsciously held down their hands.
The sword handlers raised their heads, and then they saw an extremely spectacular scene:
A field of gray, crystal-carved birds flew up from the canopy of the tree, flying into the sky in dense numbers. The crystal clear bodies of these birds reflected the blue reflection of the great demonic tide in mid-air, and shimmered into one piece. They were flying in the wind.
It fluttered its wings high in the snow and made a crisp chirping sound, which passed over everyone's heads in the blink of an eye.
Everyone present was stunned. They had no idea that this seemingly lifeless place would actually hide so many beautiful creatures. "It's a crystal swan. Oh my God, these are rare even in the Storm Calm Mountain."
There are so many elemental creatures at first sight! Shiduo will definitely go crazy when she sees them!" A knight suddenly shouted.
This was indeed a spectacle. But the reactions of Little Perlo and Nymesis were much more direct. They drew their swords directly, warned others, and shouted: "Be careful, there is something in the forest!"
More than a dozen Cruz knights were immediately stunned.
After the crystal swan, the sound of falling trees came from the forest. Obviously, the crystal swans were frightened by these things behind them. Everyone stared at the forest with wide eyes, trying to see clearly.
What exactly was it that attacked Anika and her group before?
But soon, they held their breath.
A huge black shadow gradually appeared behind the wind and snow, and the black shadow gradually moved forward and became clearer.
Then they saw a wolf, a giant wolf as tall as a mountain, with silver mane flying fiercely in the wind and snow. Its ears were pointed and long, somewhat different from ordinary winter wolves, but its eyes were golden.
, which is pregnant with wisdom and cold light.
It looked down at everyone, the forest was like the meadow at its feet, and the Cruz knight present was the ant in the meadow.
"This...this is..." Little Pelo raised his head and stared at this scene in stunned silence.
"The alpha wolf Isis..." Nimesis couldn't help but change her face: "Impossible, shouldn't it be sealed in..."
She suddenly realized something and subconsciously stopped talking. "What should I do?" Everyone subconsciously turned their attention to their only commander, Freya. But at this time, everyone discovered something extremely weird.
matter.
Freya is gone.
It's like disappearing into thin air.
Nymesis's heart suddenly sank.
But at this moment, no one understood that Freya was actually standing there. She was more surprised than everyone present——
Because what she saw was completely different from everyone else.
At the moment when the wind started blowing, Freya first heard the howls of wolves in the forest. There were no crystal swans or the alpha wolf Isis. She only saw many dots of pale eyes suddenly appearing in the darkness.
.Those eyes gradually emerged from the shadows of the gray woodland, and then formed a giant wolf with snow-white fur.
Freya didn't recognize these strange wolf-like creatures, but Brando might be able to call them by name here:
The pale son.
One of the most favored dusk species of the alpha wolf Isis, it is said that they run on the snowy fields, bringing storms wherever they go. But their alpha wolf Lepethe died at the blazing hands of the dragon in the sky, and they
Also died in the battle with Milos, the King of Frost Giants
Freya's eyes flashed and she immediately pulled out her long sword. But at this moment, she discovered something extremely weird. The future Valkyrie discovered that the Cruz knights around her - Little Pello, Alai
Ya, Rollo and even Senior Sister Nimesis stood on their horses with blank expressions, as if they had not noticed the surrounding scene at all.
Freya was instantly frightened. The image of Anika and Jade dying appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
"Senior Nimesis!?" She quickly pushed Nimesis who was in trance next to her with her hand. The latter swayed slightly, as if she had just woken up from a dream.
She first saw Freya and was slightly startled. Then she frowned and asked in confusion: "Freya, where have you been? Run, little Pelo and the others are already dead. I'll help you block Isis."
…”
"Wait, what are you talking about! Everyone is still alive and well!" Freya quickly interrupted her: "We are already surrounded. Get ready to fight, Senior Sister Nimesis!"
"Fight?" Nymesis was stunned for a moment, then noticed the scene around her. She was stunned on her horse and couldn't help blurting out: "The Pale Sons? How could it be them? Where is Isis?"
As soon as she finished speaking, at this moment, a scream suddenly came from the forest.
"Goddess of War! This is impossible! Why does the bloodline of the Goddess of War still exist in this era!" The voice was so sharp that it was unlike any intelligent creature on the Warnd continent. It sounded like two files interlaced together.
metal noise.
Freya and Nymesis were startled and subconsciously looked in that direction. They immediately saw a silver figure over there.
That thing looked a bit like a human, because it had four limbs, two feet standing on the ground, long hands that hung down to the knees, and its body was covered with silver-white skin, but the scary thing was that this thing had no eyes, nose, or ears.
On a smooth face, there was only a dark hole that could be called a mouth.
And beside the human-looking monster, stood an old acquaintance of Freya and Nymesis.
"Marquis Youxi!?" Freya looked at the man in disbelief and asked, "Aren't you dead?"
Marquis Youxi smiled slightly: "How could I die so easily before dedicating my life to the true God? Freya, you and your lord should have arrived by now. In fact, we have been waiting for him here for a long time."
Freya's heart skipped a beat.
…
(ps: I was not feeling well the past two days and took a rest. By the way, Amber is about to enter the real main line of the magnificent event. I also need to sort out my thoughts. I will resume updating today, but the state will slowly recover, so I won’t promise it.
, the only thing that can be said is that everyone will wait and see what is behind the Warnd continent.
In addition, this big chapter of eternity involves a lot of content and may be a little long)..)
