After the communication was cut off, Hao Ren didn't react for a while. He was stunned for a while before shaking his head: "Damn it, the overseas II is really unreliable... I don't know if Vivian heard the last sentence.★"
The female knight named Lavinia was still standing in front of him at this time. After seeing Hao Ren's strange behavior, she blinked: "Lord Guardian... what's wrong with you?"
Hao Ren quickly adjusted his expression, smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, I suddenly remembered something from the past... After all, I just 'wake up', and sometimes my memory is confusing. By the way, where did we just talk about?"
"Speaking of you going to find your old friend..." Lavinia couldn't help but have a look of doubt on her face when she said this. Obviously she didn't believe some of Hao Ren's claims, "What do you have?
Is there a clear goal? Although my family does not have much influence in the kingdom, my brother has a wide network of contacts and likes to get to know some hermits and scholars with a long history. He may be able to help you."
Hao Ren was stunned and thought to himself that what he was looking for was a husky spirit that had just fallen here a few days ago. If you can find a bunch of old pedants to come over and help, you might as well find a few masters of bone soup.
When the time comes, there will be several pots lined up at the city gate, and Lily will be able to greet anyone within a hundred miles radius... But he can't say this to others, so he just complained in his heart, and still wanted to be polite on the surface.
: "Then I want to thank you. If this is really the case, I owe you a favor."
After a few more polite words, the female knight named Lavinia was called away by her companions, leaving Hao Ren behind, stroking his chin in deep thought.
The sound of iron boots hitting the ground woke him up from his thoughts. Hao Ren raised his head and saw the heroic Veronica standing in front of him. The princess nodded slightly to him: "Lord Guardian, what should we do?
Out."
After a short rest, the knights not only re-adjusted their mental state, but also greatly recovered their physical strength. When they went into battle again, all the warriors seemed full of energy. This time they had no other worries. Under the leadership of Her Royal Highness, the team began to fully
Go ahead and head towards the northern fortress.
As the saying goes, you can run to death in Wangshan Mountain. This is true. Even if the combat professionals in the world of Koro are as strong as humans, the hilly land between the Shadow Forest and the Northern Fortress is still enough to take half a day.
However, because he had just restored contact with the outside world, Hao Ren's mood had become lighter. He regarded this journey as a journey to see the scenery while walking: although the surroundings were still twisted and dim, the chaotic world was still far away.
The fortress shrouded in light was still a breathtaking sight. As he walked side by side with Veronica and Morian, he inquired about the fortress that was built in the 22nd year of the founding of Talos.
history, and the distant mountains gradually became clearer in his vision.
But just when they were about to arrive at the foot of the fortress, a palpitating feeling suddenly emerged from Hao Ren's heart. He immediately stopped and looked in the direction of the fortress. At this distance, the towering white rock wall of the Western Fortress was already in front of him.
, the ancient rune protection and eagle relief on the city wall are clearly visible. On the top of the thirty-three magic sentry towers in front of the fortress, the Talos Eagle War Flag with gold edge and blue background is flying.
Veronica was a step behind and reacted. The princess with royal blood frowned. She felt that the breath of chaos was close at hand. This evil force that was hostile to order stimulated her blood and made her heart agitate.
shock.
Her Royal Highness the Princess waved her hand in a warning gesture, and the knights immediately lowered their bodies. Using the cover of nearby rocks, the team climbed to the top of a hill. Hao Ren lay next to Veronica, looking out.
Look.
He saw a wasteland covered with gray-white gravel extending under the hills, all the way to the towering white stone wall of the Western Fortress in the distance. On the wasteland, a piece of gray-black "sludge" was rushing towards the city wall in waves.
That is not some sludge, but a monster bred in chaos.
Monsters attack the city!
On this side of the Shadow Jungle, chaos no longer appears in the form of fog, but as the carrier of gray-white gravel and gravel all over the earth. Black smoke is seen constantly spewing out from the desolate land with no grass growing on it. After the black smoke leaves the ground
It will quickly spin and condense, turning into hideous and terrifying monsters in a few seconds. Thousands of monsters condensed from the black smoke rush towards the Western Fortress without any order, as if the waves are crashing against the embankment.
Fierce, their number was so large and their arrangement was so dense that when viewed from a distant hill, they were as thick and turbid as mud covering the earth. Hao Ren couldn't help but think of the scene not long ago.
The black tide that Hercules saw in the sealed cage, the tide of monsters in front of him at this moment was even worse than the "black tide" that day.
Because there is no Heracles here to restrain the scale of the tide of monsters, these pure monsters bred from chaos are more ferocious, more ruthless, and more endless!
The white walls of the Western Fortress stand in the light of Symmetra. Various protective runes shine on the towering walls. The runes restrain the power of Symmetra and form a translucent energy shield on the city wall.
Chaos monsters kept hitting the shields like moths flying into the flame. They tore at the shields with their claws, bit with their fangs, and bombarded them with all kinds of primitive and violent dark magic. Finally, they crashed headlong into the light wall and died.
The bodies were turned into dark fireballs in the grand explosion. Countless such explosions bloomed at every defensive line of the city wall, and the shock waves generated even shook the physical part of the fortress wall: the ten thousand-foot-high white stone wall.
The whole body was shaking in the explosion, and gravel and gravel were constantly bursting out from the gaps between the boulders. From a distance, it looked like the outer wall of the fortress was spitting out smoke.
This is the most thrilling event in the world of Koro: the evil force dormant in the chaos rises up and directly shakes the barriers of the world of order!
In the past seven years, and in every chaos tide in the world of Koro in the past hundred centuries, this kind of battle has been repeated countless times. Although Symmetra can prevent the penetration of Chaos power, Chaos power also has
With their own attack methods, the monsters born from the twisted laws are the cannon fodder and vanguard of this war: every once in a while, they will kill the world of order in a mighty manner. If they break through a barrier, then the land of order will be destroyed.
The border will recede, and the space for mortals to survive will shrink again.
In Veronica's knowledge, in Ansu Continent alone, humans and elves have lost more than 40% of the land. The once fertile barren wilderness, the peaceful and tranquil shadow jungle, the dark swamp with rich water and grass, and the beautiful scenery
The gray-white sea... As the towers of furnace fire, fire towers, and even sun-burning towers were extinguished, the barriers were broken, the defense lines retreated, and the mortal races traded space for time. These originally peaceful and peaceful lands were transformed one by one.
It has become a forbidden area of death in the chaos. What caused all this was the scene in front of me.
Chaos is coming.
Veronica clenched the sword in her hand and gestured to the knights with her other hand to get everyone ready for battle.
On the front line of the Chaos attack, the power of order will be weakened, and the dark side of the Sea of Karnos will be active to the point where it can materialize at any time. Even if the knights hide outside the battlefield, they will sooner or later be discovered by the ubiquitous evil forces.
Therefore fighting is unavoidable.
On the frontline of chaos, cowardice and escape are meaningless. No matter whether you have the courage to draw your sword or not, fighting is the only outcome.
The knights unsheathed their swords, and the power of magic began to stir in the air. The runes on the royal armors lit up one by one, reflecting the determined faces of the young people.
In Koro, every great tide of chaos is actually a process in which the mortal race keeps retreating and dying. The dark side of Karnos erupts from every corner of the continent, and then devours everything along the way. Although the mortal race is always fighting bravely
, however, just looking at the surrounding wasteland, even an outsider like Hao Ren can see the situation of the war: the power of order is constantly shrinking, and the mortal race is just resisting with flesh and blood and layers of defense lines.
, it’s just hard work, all they do is procrastinate.
Before there is no way to retreat, drag it until the chaos disperses, and drag it until the sea of Karnos calms down.
No one feels there is anything wrong with this. This is how their ancestors have survived for generations. If they have to complain, they are probably just complaining about why they happen to be part of the generation that exploded in chaos. They are far less lucky than those who lived in calm years.
"Are you going to go over and help with these people?" Hao Ren turned to look at Veronica.
Princess Knight pointed at the battlefield with her long sword: "Rush down the ramp on the left and attack the monster's flank. If you can use your powerful explosion magic to temporarily block the condensation of the chaos breath, we can open a gap. I will do it before
Send a signal to the fortress. As long as the fortress defenders still have the most basic military literacy, this cooperation will be successful. We will rush into the safe zone and the flow of chaos power will be disrupted."
Hao Ren didn't quite understand what "the flow of chaotic power" meant, but he believed that Veronica was an expert in this field, so he agreed to the plan, but he was still a little curious: "You're really not afraid at all.
"
"Nearly all the cowards have died in the past seven years," Veronica smiled brightly and raised her sword, "The barrier will eventually collapse, but not today!"
The knights roared in unison: "The barrier will eventually collapse, but not today!" (To be continued.) 8
