The first thousand two hundred and sixty-ninth chapters storm transit
Three days have passed since that sudden fierce battle.
The towering walls of Black Crow Fortress stand quietly in the night sky. This solid fortress built of black granite has experienced unimaginable brutal battles. Even the fortress general cannot believe that this fortress can still stand upright after the storm.
The chaotic storm on the earth and the monsters that came with the storm almost completely destroyed all the forward towers and order rune stones outside the fortress. The original layered and orderly defense lines outside the Black Crow Fortress have disappeared. There were once many guard towers and tall buildings.
The outer defense line lined with huge rocks is now only a piece of grey-black crushed gravel. Even the wall of the fortress itself is devastated. Huge cracks and even holes can be seen everywhere. Looking from a distance, it can be seen that thousands of
To describe it, it is riddled with holes.
Maybe there is no need to wait for the next storm, even a group of wandering chaos monsters will be enough to collapse the dark fortress in an instant.
Philip tightened his cotton-padded clothes and looked back at the towering upper fortress of Black Crow Fortress. In the misty night sky, this ancient fortress was like a spiraling volcano that was gradually shrinking, with layers of granite walls and
Towers large and small form the cliffs of this mountain, and the firelight swaying between the city walls and towers is like lava flowing along the mountain. On the top floor of the fortress, the light of the Fire Tower is like a ray reaching into the sky.
The towering white tower points directly to the sky, and a layer of vague barrier pours down from the top of the "white tower", covering the entire fortress.
Although it still looks dazzling, in fact the light of Symmetra in the Tower of Fire is no longer as bright as before.
The Tower of Fire was traumatized by the previous Chaos Storm, and the too intense conflict of laws caused the energy core of the tower to be overloaded. Although the mages urgently repaired the most important equipment, they still could not fully restore the tower to its optimal state.
state, and for a fortress facing the enemy on the border of Chaos, the weakening of Symmetra means that everything is heading towards the worst situation: the defense of Black Crow Fortress has been almost halved.
But these things are very far away for Philip. As an ordinary squad leader, he is only a little higher than the soldiers under his command and knows a little more, but he is still essentially a person from the countryside of the kingdom.
A vulgar soldier who has never seen much of the world, he knows nothing about the mysterious magic field. He only knows that the battle three days ago was the most brutal battle he has ever experienced. Many people who are more powerful than him are...
He died on the battlefield outside the city, and the soldiers guarding the city wall were also carried behind in groups. If he was not lucky enough, I am afraid he himself would have become a corpse in those cold tombs. If it hadn't been for many years of military service
Career has made this veteran somewhat numb to matters of life and death. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to muster the courage to come to this section of the city wall.
Philip tightened his cotton-padded clothes tightly again, as if the clothes could no longer protect him from the cold wind at night. It was hard to imagine that just a few days ago, it was still hot weather in midsummer here, and standing on the city wall would make people sweat. However,
Now inside and outside the fortress, water is dripping and turning into ice, and it is already winter.
This is the power of chaos: when the storm hit, it almost immediately changed the climate in this area. It actually only took two or three hours from midsummer to cold winter. After that, the defenders of Black Crow Fortress also experienced thunderstorms, hail, and blizzards.
If the baptism of the Chaos War had just begun two or three years ago, I am afraid that just such crazy weather changes could kill some unlucky people.
"Boss, it seems like it's going to be dawn right? How about we stop here on this trip?"
The voice of one of his men reactivated Philip's almost frozen brain. He turned his head and saw one of his soldiers looking up at the horizon, where a faint ray of skylight could already be seen.
"Don't be distracted, there will still be a while," Philip scolded, "Don't think about being lazy. If the monster really comes at this time, you won't be able to explain to your ancestors even if you die."
The soldier was scolded and quickly lowered his head and agreed obediently, but Philip also knew not to blame the other party too harshly: the damn weather was really unbearable, and the night's patrol was too mentally exhausting.
But he knew that monsters attacked the city day and night, and those bastards emerging from the chaos would not give you a chance to sneak away, so the veteran still cheered up and paid careful attention to what was going on outside the city wall.
The cold wind swirled across the plain in front of the Black Crow Fortress, picking up a few broken flags and some dust. Philip recognized one of the flags as belonging to the second brigade of the Black Blade Legion. He knew that brigade had been killed three days ago.
In order to give the other brigades a chance to retreat, more than two thousand warriors stood in front of the tide of monsters. Philip watched helplessly on the city wall as they were swallowed up, and human limbs seemed to fall into the heat.
The creaminess of the soup is dissolved by darkness.
That retreat saved most of the main force of the Black Blade Legion and prevented the fortress from losing too much combat power at once. However, it also caused the Chaos monsters to rush into the order barrier of the Black Crow Fortress in advance, laying the groundwork for the overload of the Fire Tower.
Hidden dangers.
"Boss, I heard those mages say that it was a chaotic storm a few days ago. I heard that the storm blew in from the continental border, rose up from the sea of Karnos, and then poured into our world.
The forests in the south seem to have been completely destroyed and turned into a place of chaos."
"Do I still know?" Philip glanced at his subordinate and said lukewarmly. He didn't like the other party to bring up this topic, because until now, recalling the scene three days ago makes him shudder: darkness and
The storm hit from the southern sky, like a thousands-meter-high, endless black waves on both sides, rumbling into the eyes. In the blink of an eye, the sky and the earth were dark, strong winds blew, sirens rang throughout the fortress, and countless ferocious monsters came from
It emerged from the air and rushed towards the city wall... and the battle lasted for a whole day and night.
The mages call it the "edge of the storm", which means that there will be more chaos coming in the future. It may not be as violent and desperate as the first day, but it will definitely take away more lives.
Philip didn't want to talk much, but his veterans couldn't sit still, and soon they started chatting about other topics.
"Hey, have you heard? A while ago, it was said that a group of monsters suddenly appeared in the southern forest. A very large group."
"Ah, I heard that too, what's the matter?"
"It is said that the group of magical beasts is not ordinary. There are all kinds of races in it. They are so powerful and they are coming towards us."
"There are all kinds of races? Why don't they come up with their own ideas?"
"Maybe it's strange, but the group of monsters seems to be organized. It is said that there is a particularly powerful... leader of the monsters called Alpha Wolf who unified them."
"Hey, it sounds powerful. Could it be a big wolf as tall as a hill?"
"I heard it is true. A 3,500-year-old forest wolf has three heads, one tooth is half a meter long, and it can knock down a house with one claw..."
"Hey, what's the use of saying this? Look at the coming of Chaos from the south. No matter how powerful the alpha wolf is, it is still a magical beast. It does not have the Sacred Artifact of Order. By this time, most of those magical beasts have been destroyed by Chaos."
Philip did not stop his men from chatting at this moment, because he had already seen that the sun on the horizon was about to jump out of the ground, and the night's duty would soon be over. At this time, it is understandable for the soldiers to relax a little, as long as there is no one
Just take a break from work.
He didn't know that the "leader of the monster" that the soldiers said was "three thousand five hundred years old", "has three heads" and "a tooth half a meter long" was happily leading a team of beasts.
Chao's army was approaching the border of civilization, and he didn't even know that at the next moment, a new round of attacks by the Chaos Storm would begin.
The first sentry who noticed the abnormality looked up in the direction of the black forest. When a huge black shadow appeared in the sentry's sight, he first rubbed his eyes, and then realized that the shadow was not caused by a sleepless night.
The illusion is that it has actually appeared, like a thick smoke rising from the forest. The smoke column swirls out of the forest and approaches the Black Crow Fortress at an unnatural speed. On the smoke column, you can
I saw countless shadowy monsters taking shape rapidly.
The sentry opened his mouth, and it took him two seconds to react: "... Chaos is coming!!!"
The ear-splitting sirens instantly resounded throughout the fortress, and every bell tower in the Black Crow Fortress began to ring crazily. The protective runes on the walls and watchtowers were lit up one by one, and the knights shouted and the commander ordered.
Came from all corners, followed by the sound of heavy footsteps and the collision of armor. The heavy iron gate on the upper level of the fortress also lowered, and the gryphon cavalry, whose weaving was still intact, emerged from the iron gate one after another.
Flying out from the ground, circling around the dark fortress on alert, the wizard tower also began to operate. Arcs of light shot from the wizard tower to the battlements. The magic crystal cannon received an energy supply, and the focusing crystal began to bloom bright white light on the city wall.
Outside Black Crow Fortress, black smoke is gathering.
The black smoke and dust are exactly the manifestation of the power of chaos in the southern realm of the kingdom.
When the first bird-like monster emerged from the black smoke and screamed towards the city wall, Philip spat, cursed every vulgar word he could think of under his breath, then drew his weapon and charged forward.
