Chapter 412
In the middle of the night, Dujieshan Fortress.
The little wizard, alone, is lying on the city wall. His exquisite face is full of worry, and his sapphire eyes look out over the glacial wasteland shrouded in darkness.
It’s been a month, and it’s been almost a month since those two fools left here to look for Nidhogg.
After Connold Dessalion led Legion northward, those guys were completely silent. Of course, Ayin also knew that the blizzard was raging in the desolate and dead glacial wasteland, thinking How difficult it is to deliver the message.
Sometimes, without the news itself... it is already the best news.
Gently rubbing his cold, numb hands, the timid little wizard took out a very delicate Holy Cross pendant from his arms - this was when he was helping with the logistics of the Fortress of Broken Worlds. , The quartermaster and priest who looked particularly "corrupt" secretly gave her a thank you gift.
Looking at the ancient Zaclan inscription on it, the sterling silver pendant in the moonlight glowed with bright white "brilliance", the little wizard gently bit his lower lip and put the pendant on his forehead .
"I know I am not a devout believer, but... my lord, if your brilliance can really illuminate us through the darkness, please bless those two brainless fools."
"Nothing else is needed, as long as they can come back...I really, really can't imagine what a world without Isaac and Loren would look like."
"You can Can you hear my voice...will you hear me?"
"Please...whatever it is...please let them come back."
"I already... There are not many relatives anymore..."
The little wizard slightly nodded whispered, his thin shoulders kept trembling.
"Meow" The moon shadow cat nestled beside Ai Yin gently rubbed his ankles, and the flickering ruby pupils watched her motionlessly.
"Are you worried about them too, Meilin (Ariel)?" The little wizard finally showed a smile on his face. He squatted down and hugged the Moon Shadow Cat in his arms, gently Stroking the silky black hair:
"Don’t be afraid, people just think too much so that the two idiots won’t have any trouble." It’s like being to a cat, but also like being at ease. Ayin whispered to himself:
"It was also in Wimpal, also in Deep Limburg, and ancient wood forest, Eboden... These guys just like to make others in vain. Worried for them, but I don’t even have a little bit of consciousness."
A faint smile appeared on Ayin’s face. For some reason, he just hugged Meilin (Ellie). She felt very warm in her arms...like a fool who was by her side, laughing at herself lazily.
Really, why do you think about that guy again?
But it was just an illusion, just a sudden conjecture... Only the whistling of a blizzard came in my ears, and there were soldiers holding a torch in the distance and patrolling the walls of Fortress City.
Since the deputy commander of the fortress Ernst Drexis asked himself, the guards of the city wall north of the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain, especially the soldiers responsible for night patrol, have been tripled.
All the guards, even the auxiliary soldiers in charge of logistics, were all gathered together. According to the most standard Legion soldiers’ outfits and training, the few Sergeant Heads in the fortress and served more than five The year-old veteran was temporarily promoted to Hundred-men Commander and was responsible for leading these people with little combat experience.
Even the little wizards and those alchemists who have no power to bind the chickens, everyone also got a heavy sword of the Legion soldier-although Ai Yin hopes they can give him a heavy sword. Vice bow and arrow.
Arrows, armors, battle halberd, shields, crossbows, catapults, ballistas, igniting agents, kerosene... all kinds of large ordnance and materials were placed in the original invincible On the north city wall.
The little wizard is still fresh in his memory. The middle-aged Knight named Ernst mobilized 500 barrels of pitch in a day, and then he was assigned a task of 100 barrels of pyrophoric agent; no Formal requirements, the only "requirement" is to be placed in front of him within a day.
Day after day, in order to maintain high-intensity training and armed forces, Ernst Deresis squandered the inventory of the fortress in Broken Boundary Mountain almost without a bottom line... and even an alchemist secretly told She, the deputy commander, even planned to completely seal the fortress gate with ice water and steel reinforcement.
Of course, he finally gave up.
According to the reason the middle-aged Knight told her, it was to ensure the safety during the Northern Expedition of the Prince of Sackland, and to guard against the possible invasion of monsters.
But the little wizard knew that it was just an excuse... In the ancient wood forest, in the big tree wall, she had seen what war was like, or what it should be like.
Just to resist thousands of ogre, the elves of the ancient wood forest have tried their best, and paid huge sacrifices in exchange for the final victory... Then, face Evil What will happen to the fortress of God and the monsters?
Ernst Dresis is not guarding against the invasion of monsters in the north, but he is very sure that those monsters are about to invade the north, and tens of thousands of monsters will appear anytime and anywhere. Before them.
"Woo————————————!!!"
The sound of the melodious horn suddenly came from the fortress behind him, leaving you still The little wizard who looked at the glacier wasteland was stunned.
The moment she turned her head, what she saw was a war fortress illuminated by countless fires!
In a moment, group after group of Legion soldiers passed quickly up and down the city wall holding torch; crossbowmen squatted down beside the crenel with quiver on their backs; engineers were under the command of the officers Manipulating ballistas and catapults, manipulating the aircraft to load ammunition; under the light of the fire, the Legion soldiers in the formation quickly formed a square formation on the playground under the city wall.
There is no expression, no command, no exclamation or any voice of speech-only the white mist between the breaths, the neat and orderly stepping and the sound of gears turning.
When the little wizard came back to his senses, this huge "war machine" was fully armed, and almost all the towers were erected with the flag of the iron crown, hunting in the blizzard ring!
For an instant, looking at the expressionless Legion soldiers, Ai Yin suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of security and pride. She pressed the corners of her mouth tightly, and there was a trace of goodbye in her sapphire eyes. Kind of emotion.
This is the northern gate that the Sackland Empire is proud of. It has never been breached under several monster invasions in the twelfth generation.
Heavy footsteps came. The fully armed Ernst Dresis was riding on a northern war horse with an iron crown flag in his hands. He looked dignified and looked at every city wall. The Legion soldiers underneath looked at each other:
"For twelve generations, after His Majesty Eckhart I, Legion in the north has adhered to the fortress of Duanjieshan for twelve generations, and has gone through nine invasions. Never missed!"
"In the Valley of Blood Skeletons and Duanjie Mountain, on Spiral Peak, we have defeated those damned monsters nine invasions! And tonight we have to fight them too!"
"And now, with your ancestors and your fathers, the monsters who fought head-on are outside the city wall, on the glacier wasteland close at hand."
"In that year, I used to fight alongside your fathers under His Majesty Eckhardt II. I still remember their names and looks clearly."
" Will you put your ancestors to shame? Are you going to shame your parents-I will not agree, and I will never agree, even if there are thousands, we will fight to the end."
"This is the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain, and we are the guards of Broken Boundary Mountain; as many times as they attack, we will defeat them as many times!"
Ernst drew his sword and moved towards The soldiers roared: "Let them remember, as long as the main peak of Duanjieshan has not fallen, as long as there is a soldier standing, as long as there is a flag, they will always be impossible to cross our city wall ——!!! !!!"
"Under the shining light of the Holy Cross..." The middle-aged Knight raised the sword edge in his hand, responding to him with countless blades and swords unsheathing, the sound of bows and arrows winding.
"Tell me, why are you fighting?!"
"For the glory of Sackland——————!!!!!!"
