A small group of Cruz knights climbed down the steep glacier cliff and slowly approached You Xi's body. The body was nailed to the ground in a weird posture by the huge impact of the arrow. The undead was already dead, with eyes in his eyes.
The hole was filled with darkness, and the fire of the soul had been extinguished.
The leading knight couldn't help but let out a long breath, and the warm breath woven into a thin white mist in the cold canyon, and quickly merged into the surrounding ice mist.
The wolves had retreated long ago, but there were still some wolf carcasses, stained with blood, and broken arrows all around. The canyon was so quiet that it was eerie. He should have reported back immediately after confirming the news of You Xi's death, but this strange silence made
He couldn't help but take another look around.
In a daze, he seemed to see something standing deep in the canyon, a beast the size of a small pony standing behind the mist, its hair moving in the windless way.
He was startled, and when he looked intently, he found that there was nothing there. The beast he originally thought was just the mist floating in the deep valley, but even so, the knight couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
After the short ambush ended, the canyon fell into this weird atmosphere. The current situation seemed more terrifying than when they were being chased by wolves. The knight captain took a gentle breath, seeming to be ready to calm down.
, he is a member of the Knights of the Broken Sword, a leader among the younger generation of the Cruz people. He is so frightened by a silent canyon that he is suspicious. It would be too embarrassing to tell anyone.
But just as he was about to speak out, he realized something seemed wrong around him.
"Team...captain..."
A stammering voice sounded behind him, that was the voice of his subordinate. The knight suddenly raised his head, and before he knew it, a pair of cold, burnt-yellow eyes appeared in front of him.
…
"Wolf!"
Little Pelo, Brende and Nimesis were all silently waiting for reassuring news to come back from below. But what they were waiting for was a frightened scream.
There was a soft "Crack" sound, and a silver-maned monster jumped down from nowhere and landed in front of everyone. The anxiety and uneasiness in the heart of Freya, the son of the pale, seemed to have become a reality in an instant.
Everyone knows that You Xi drives the winter wolf forward, and it is the silver monster that controls the Pale Son.
Two heads, three heads, one after another, the monsters fell from above and landed around the Cruz knights. They neither issued a threatening roar nor rushed in. They just surrounded them, holding their heads high and using cold words.
eyes looking at these humans.
Those eyes were filled with wisdom that shouldn't belong to beasts. But it was precisely this that made people feel chilled from the bottom of their hearts.
Freya was the first to react. She raised her head and her light brown pupils shrank slightly in the morning light. Sure enough, she saw several white figures appearing on the glacier's glimmering and reflective top.
I don't know when, these pale sons had already run up to them. In other words, while they were still confidently ambushing You Xi, these monsters had already begun to expand their encirclement.
how so?
Since the middle of the night yesterday, these Pale Sons and the silver monster have not appeared again. Everyone believed that they had separated from You Xi. But now it seems that they arrived here first.
The girl from Butchi felt cold in her heart. Could it be that the Knights of the Broken Sword lied to her? But what good would this do to them?
She shook her head vigorously to throw this ridiculous idea out of her mind. The Cruz people were in the same boat as her at the moment and were unlikely to lie on this issue. In other words, their scouts did not see the Pale Son behind the Winter Wolf.
She couldn't help but look at Brendan who was standing aside. His face was also turning blue and white. He had obviously thought of this. After Ainika's death, he was the captain of the scout team of the Knights of the Broken Sword, and now he was obviously the leader of the scout team.
There was a flaw in his work.
"Black blade." Brende roared with anger.
"Captain. This is not my fault. I dare to swear in the name of the King of Fire that I never saw any Pale Sons among the winter wolves...except for the four around You Xi." The knight who was named
He looked aggrieved and explained in a low voice.
"It's not his fault." Freya breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the reaction of the two people. She quickly whispered to stop the quarrel: "These monsters have already circled above us, which means that they should at least be ahead of You Xi."
Yeah, but that doesn’t make sense, why would they just watch You Xi die?”
"I don't know, maybe there is a conflict between the silver monster and You Xi." Alaya pressed the wound, stared at the monsters surrounding them and shrugged.
This is one of the possibilities, but Freya instinctively feels that this is not the truth of the matter.
"There are so many monsters!" The cry came from far down the canyon, "Little Pelo, Brunde, Commander, be careful, they are coming for you!"
Then came the sounds of fighting, the sounds of men and beasts fighting intertwined.
All the Cruz people in the front row subconsciously raised the swords in their hands. The long swords shone brightly in the cold air, confronting the gaping white teeth of the monster wolf not far away.
The next moment, a scream suddenly came from the crowd. Everyone turned around, only to see that a pale man had arrived among them and bit off the arm of a knight with a broken sword.
The knight covered his bloody broken arm and stabbed the pale son's left eye with his backhand sword. The latter also let out a cry and hurriedly stepped back.
The knight next to him stepped forward to protect his companion.
"Be careful, they can use the invisibility spell!" the knight with a broken arm shouted through gritted teeth.
Everyone's expressions changed.
"Pay attention to your surroundings!" Freya shouted. She recalled the tactics of those invisible ghosts she had seen in the forest, and instinctively felt that the combat methods of these invisible monsters might be the same.
Sure enough, a giant beast suddenly appeared on her left side. It was like a piece of flowing transparent liquid appearing in the air. It opened its huge mouth and bit her.
But before it had time to bite, a piece of azure light appeared on Freya's armor, blocking the fangs from the wall of light.
"Half Armor of the Wind!" Brende let out a low cry.
At this time, Nymesis had taken a step forward and pierced the throat of the stunned beast with a sword. Since meeting the crystal stag with Brando that night, with the help of the raw power stone, she
Her progress is also advancing by leaps and bounds. The golden flame is burning in her body, and the luster of the elements is about to be born inside. And this sword is worthy of the female knight's rapid progress in these days. The tip of the sword flashes with a
The faint black light, which is difficult for outsiders to detect, breaks through the dark magic protection all over the body of the Pale Son like a destructive force, and pierces the monster's throat with a sword.
The giant wolf seemed not to have thought that it would die so easily. It struggled for a moment and then collapsed.
"This is the armor he gave you." Nymesis withdrew the sword from the giant wolf's mouth, wiped it on the silver mane, and asked.
"Um……"
"Although Fenghou's half-body armor is standard armor, the ones that have been handed down to this day are priceless. It seems that he cares about you very much." Nymesis replied meaningfully. She glanced at Freya with a meaningful look.
The look in his eyes made the latter's heart pound.
Freya let out a breath. If it weren't for Fenghou's half-body armor, the bite from the giant wolf just now would have bitten her entire right shoulder, shoulder blade and chest. She could almost imagine the coldness of the sharp teeth penetrating her body.
That's almost certain death.
Brando saved her again. She couldn't even count that this was the first time she had received that person's favor.
She shook the sword in her hand and woke up. She turned her head away, trying to avoid looking at her senior sister's strange eyes. She felt that there was something else in it, and she didn't know how to answer.
good.
At this time, the knights and the Pale Sons were already fighting together. The Pale Sons' raid caused heavy losses to the Cruz people, but it must be said that thanks to Freya's previous reminder, otherwise the current situation would not just be as simple as heavy losses.
.
However, even so, the Broken Sword Knights were dispersed by the sudden appearance of monsters. The Pale Sons who emerged from the invisibility spell seemed to pour out from all directions. These nightmares in the winter are not as weak and bully as their close relatives.
, as a species of dusk, even after a thousand years of weakness, it still retains at least a level of power ranging from peak silver to primary gold. Knight Cruz immediately fell into a hard fight against these difficult opponents.
In other words, it is not appropriate to say that it was a hard battle, because from the beginning, the young sword-breaking knights were retreating steadily and gradually lost their organization and contact. Freya and Nymesis were scattered together.
Soon, only Alea and Brenda were left beside her, and even little Pelo disappeared.
"Your Excellency, Commander, in which direction shall we break out?" Alaya asked, squinting his eyes.
Freya shook her head. The only choice they had now was to move closer to the center of the canyon and see if they could gather other people there.
"I still haven't figured out where these ghost things came from." Brende couldn't help but curse: "There is absolutely no way he can make a mistake with the black blade, and if the silver monster is near us, how could it
Watching You Xi die. Even if they have a conflict, it can easily kill us, so why does it want to play this hide-and-seek game with us?"
"I heard that cats have the habit of teasing mice," Alea replied.
"It's not a cat, and we're not mice." Brende blocked it angrily.
Freya frowned as she listened to the conversation between the two. She was thinking about the same question. She raised her head and carefully observed the smooth fracture at the top of the glacier. From time to time, the Pale Son would jump down from it and fall into the middle of the crowd.
.
Seeing this scene, she suddenly became excited and remembered something.
"Brend, do you still remember the direction those giant wolves came from?"
"Your Excellency Commander, it is obvious that they came from the glacier."
"No, I mean last night."
Brende's expression changed: "In the forest, they come from the forest."
"They cannot live in the forest. The forest is the territory of the winter wolf. It is impossible for the two kinds of wolves to live together. If there is such a glacier behind the forest..."
"Wait a minute, Commander, you mean...?" Brende also reacted immediately.
"I remember Brando often told some legends about the Death Frost Forest. In the center of the forest is a huge maze, which is the hibernator temple of the frost giant god Milos. I suddenly remembered that this is not a glacier.
, but the outer wall of the Hibernator Temple..."
"These monsters...came from the temple."
"What!?" Alaya finally heard the conversation between the two people clearly: "You mean, these monsters live here? This is their lair?" This news would make others frown.
He sounded very happy: "Your Majesty Commander, what you mean is that the monsters we see in front of us did not arrive here first, but are wild themselves, so they are no different from that silver monster.
Is it related?"
It sounded like he was relieved that he didn't have to deal with that silver monster.
But unfortunately, Freya obviously didn't think so. The premonition in her heart gradually became reality, and the confusing clues in her mind became a thousand times clearer at this moment.
She raised her head and looked at the three of them: "I want to know, if these monsters come from here, then where did that silver monster come from?"
The expressions of Brenda and Alaya suddenly changed, and even Nymesis raised her eyebrows.
It was at this moment that a burst of sharp laughter interrupted Freya's words.
"As expected of a descendant of the goddess of war, so keen."
Freya's eyes suddenly widened and she shouted: "Be careful, Brender, behind you!"
