Chapter 1709: tip of the iceberg
Northland, cold wind hills.
The camp was stretched, the flag was stretched, and the heavy and sturdy military slabs built by the northern stone rafts stretched along the mountains, as if they had plowed a dark gully on the snow, wearing the special "winter wolf" armor of the North Army Corps between the camps. Running, like a busy worker ant, reinforces this newly built camp.
In the sky above the camp, a layer of shimmering magic shield is gradually taking shape. The magician from Icewind Valley is working overtime to set up an enchantment column everywhere in the camp to try to complete the magic before the snowstorm. barrier.
This is the elite army of the six northern provinces. The empire is proud of the Northland Army. Until half a month ago it was a solid barrier to the north of Dragon, blocking the abyss of the Gorgon from the extreme north. The demon invasion, but at the moment they set a new camp away from their original defense, the sword guide, ready to attack the emperor.
A figure wearing a heavy black steel armor came to the hillside, overlooking the military camp below and the busy officers and men in the military camp. Although the figure wearing armor is impressive and has a tall height, but the wearer is based on the wearer. The special armor of the body still makes the commander's limbs much thinner than the average male soldier, and the circle of rose lace decorated on his cloak also seems to imply the true gender of the armored person.
The sound of the snow on the back came from behind, and a gray-haired old general also came to the hillside. The veteran general was a lion, and he was still bare-armed in the snow, and his body was almost strong. To doubt whether he has a savage bloodline, he stopped behind the black figure, and his tone was respectful: "His Royal Highness, you should go back to rest, the blizzard will soon come."
The black figure did not look back. From the dark helmet, there was a voice that was low but obviously feminine: "Owen Dagong, how do you see this war?"
The old general looks into the distance, that is the direction of the emperor: "From the day when the Northern Army was formed, we have only these two missions, blocking the abyss of Gorgon, and completing the replacement of the era to give us this mission, you lead us. To accomplish this mission, this is the meaning of the existence of the North Army Corps."
Constance Dragon shook his head and the armor made a friction: "Besides the sense of mission, how do you view the war itself? Our victory, the future of the empire, and... this war will lead as a result of."
"The warriors of the north can fight against the erosion of the abyss of Gorgon in the ice and fire. We don't have mechanical swords, nor ancient inheritance. We rely on only the will and courage to be tempered, and the generals have not been completely frozen. The brain," the old general called Owen Dagong laughed. "I think the Northern Army is enough to fight against the Black Sword Knights, and we have your swordsman, and the victory is already on our side. As for the consequences of this war..."
The old general was silent for a moment: "His Royal Highness, many things are doomed."
There was a slight sigh under Constance's visor, and then she looked up and looked in the other direction.
On the farther horizon, a faint red line leaps between heaven and earth, and the sky around the red line is faintly showing signs of distortion, as if there is a powerful force entangled there, waiting to invade this world.
"The Gorgon Abyss has already responded to us. It will be quiet for two years. In two years, we must end this war."
"The warriors of the North will not let you down, Princess Her Royal Highness."
Constance nodded slightly and retracted his view of the abyss of Gorgon. She saw that on the edge of the cold wind hills, a new blizzard was gradually taking shape.
She took off her helmet and a long black hair flew up in the snow in the north. The oncoming snow and cold wind made this emperor with a strong face and deep eyes hold her eyes, her heart back. An old and empty voice sounded:
"The dynasty is not eternal, the gods will die, the Holy Spirit will die, the sages and the dragons will die. We don't know the beginning of all this, but we can see the bleak future. In that future, the world sinks in the night." Everything is gray in the smoldering, and all great souls can only see this end in the powerless mourning, and are torn apart with the whole world. Those who are ignorant of this ignorance are fortunate in their limited life and In the cognition, the world is full of light and harmony. Except for the year of change, most people can enjoy the peace of life, but the eternal life must bear the pain of facing the truth. This is the price of eternal life."
Constance took a step and walked towards the camp.
"Father, please wait a little, I will inherit your throne."
......
There are some changes in the black pine forest, but depending on the observer, the so-called change is likely to reveal the truth.
The team is marching on a road in the forest where no one has ever walked. The neat petrochemical lampposts and the endless black pine trees on both sides of the car are not retreating as the vehicle travels. At this moment, the three caravans have been form-switched. After the board is lowered, it becomes a low-lying bunker. The occupant sits inside the bunker and observes the outside world. This helps to make all the wind in the forest clear. Anyway, these three cars rely on the shield generator to provide protection. Lowering the carriage will not affect the protection performance.
The third caravan, originally at the end of the team, was now transferred to the front of the team and became the first car.
Leah was at the front of the caravan, staring at the wonderful forest, the fog and the chaotic time in the forest were meaningless in front of her eyes, and the forest was presenting its true side.
"I can be sure that what we are going to do now is the real black pine forest road. It should be like this. What you know is the sham and the path that the explorers have discovered." Hao Ren said to Charlemagne and Avenina. "I can still make a bold guess. For years, explorers have only circled the gap between the black pine forests. People feel that they have crossed the black pine forest through the road in the forest, but the actual It may have been through some kind of space passage, or it may have been seen in the deep hypnotic forest when walking around the forest. The real scene has never been seen."
Ai Wenna was surprised at this moment and didn't know what to say. She stared at her eyes and looked at Leah in front of the car: "This assumption is really shocking... Who is this little girl? Why are you so Bottom gas?"
Leah snorted without saying back: "Don't call me a little girl, I am more than you!"
“Her identity is a bit complicated to explain, but she has a magical ability to see who is... The amount is not, it is to see through everything,” Hao Ren explained. “She can see through all the illusions in the world, so it’s because She is in the team, we can enter this area that has never been taken."
"Your world tree temple... What kind of organization is it?" Charlemagne hesitated for a moment and finally couldn't help but ask.
Hao Ren thought for a moment: "It is basically to save the world."
"Well, I am over, please don't mind."
"...I mean serious!"
Here, Hao Renzheng stressed that he is a real person, and Lily suddenly poked his arm: "The landlord, you see there again."
Hao Ren saw the direction of Lily's fingers, and suddenly saw a few vaguely blurred figures in the mist behind the team's side. The figures shook twice and became the same as the real person. They are dressed in civilian costumes, with golden-red pupils, silver-like hair color, and a height of two meters. They are both men and women, just like ordinary people walking in the forest, chatting slowly while chatting. Going into the fog of the distance, and their conversations are faintly heard:
"The army has been mobilized very frequently. I heard that there was a war on the border... The patriarch recently went to the Great Temple, will it be... The Seven Kings Conference will be held, I really don't want any trouble at this time."
Those phantoms disappeared, and Vivienne frowned slightly: "The seventh time, and this time there is a seven-king meeting."
From the depths of the team to the depths of the black pine forest, those phantoms have appeared more than once.
And its content is also different.
For the first time, Hao Ren saw the soldiers who had a war with the polluted monsters on the road. The second time they saw a group of scarred refugees retreating under the cover of the soldiers. For the third time, they saw a group. The prisoners were escorted into the depths of the forest, but for the fourth time they saw a group of well-dressed craftsmen gathering at the intersection and pointing at the forest, seemingly planning some kind of construction...
It is now the seventh time.
The appearance of the phantom is irregular, and it does not seem to be arranged according to the timeline. Sometimes there are refugees in times of national crisis, and sometimes there are pioneers who are pioneering construction in barbarism.
Leah just started to speculate that these phantoms are "another possibility that the world has never realized." But now this speculation has basically been rejected. Hao Ren suspects that the black pine forest is actually a section of the "old world". History, and history that has not been seen by Lianya.
That should have been the memory of the old days, but it has become a "false world" for some unknown reason. Hao Ren speculates that this so-called unknown reason is the destruction and rebirth that Lach Ryan has experienced.
There is only one point that can't explain that the world was born again under the influence of Lia's dream. In the process, which ring has a problem, it led to the preservation of such an "old world reverberation" and the black pine forest. The form of the present in this world?
Looking at the dark woods around him, Evana was a little upset: "Are we really going right?"
As if in response to her, Liya, who was kneeling in front of the carriage, suddenly patted the cover of the carriage and pointed to the front of the road: "Front, left."
"I believe her judgment," Hao Ren said with a smile. "Her intuition and real vision can lead us to the truth of this forest."
Ai Wenna is crying out: "But we don't want to find the truth of this forest. We want to go out quickly..."
Hao Ren does not change color: "Oh, her intuition and real vision can take us out of this forest."
Ai Wenna suddenly felt guilty, and felt that the guys in front of this group of gods were not planning to go out...
At this moment, Vivian suddenly looked up and shrugged her nose: "I seem to smell... bloody."
