The far north of the empire, the frozen fortress.

The huge Deerros Mountains, which are like a giant dragon, circling and extending, blocking the Forest of Skeletons.

Below the sky, a black fortress stands among endless white snow, built at the end of the mountain range, the Deerros.

There is the Forest of Skeletons in front, the Deerros Mountains on the left, and the Dead Ice Field behind is a deadly ice field.

It is located on the only way to extend outwards of the Forest of Skeleton, and has blocked all disasters outside the majestic high walls for hundreds of years.

The climate in the extreme north is harsh, and the cold wind in the north is biting. Except for the murderers who hunt gold to gamble on everything and enter the Bones Forest to explore, there are few people here, and it is even more uninhabited in the cold winter season.

However, in the cold winter, the extreme northern region also has fresh and clean air, and the sky that is as pure as a sapphire without any impurities.

But now, the gloomy dark clouds seemed to cover the sun, covering all the light, and a cold and dull atmosphere spread all over the world.

But above the high walls of the frozen fortress, dozens of bright light columns shone through the sky, bringing a few rays of light to the gloomy sky.

The outside of the frozen fortress was covered with thick fog and miasma, covering the body of the fog Forest, giving this always-famous Jedi a bit mysterious.

The beam of light shot out from the high wall of the frozen fortress pierced into this thick fog like a sharp sword, but it was like a mud cow entering the sea without causing any turmoil.

The soldiers who stayed on the high walls could not see the scenes.

Ice and snow, sharper than swords, cut through the sky and kept falling from the sky, hitting the high wall with the whistling sound of wind, and smashing to pieces.

However, the crystal clear snowflakes with a strange black line will not make people feel pity.

In the beacon tower on the high wall, three tall men in armor looked outside very seriously and carefully, with solemn eyes, revealing sharpness like a falcon.

"Oh, I don't know when such a day will end?"

The man near the lookout on the right said with emotion, with an indescribable sorrow in his tone.

"Don't worry, we will definitely defeat the Black Tide as before."

The man standing in the middle of the observation mouth said in a deep voice, comforting his somewhat anxious subordinates.

"Yes, Addis, we will definitely drive all these bitches back."

The man on the far left also echoed and encouraged his comrades.

"Boss, do you really think so?"

Hearing the comfort of the two, the man named Addis did not cheer up at this time, and his tone was still a little depressed and depressed.

"You know, the disaster we face this time is much greater than before."

"Before this, Kuroshio never came ahead of time."

"Before this, the Black Tide had never been as huge as it is now, as if all the monsters of the entire Skeleton Forest ran out."

"And before this, they would not have launched a suicide attack so fearlessly, completely ignoring their lives."

Aidis's few rhetorical questions made the three people in this beacon tower silent.

For a moment, only silent breathing and the roar of steam pipes remained in the beacon tower.

Even in the beacon tower for steam heating, the three of them seemed to be biting cold and their bodies felt cold.

"I don't know why the situation is now."

"I don't know if we can hold on, but as long as there is still a chance, we must stick to the frontline."

“Because it’s our responsibility.”

"And, the Empire hasn't given up on us yet, hasn't it?"

The tall man standing in the middle, known as the boss by Addis, was silent for a few breaths, and also spoke his heart.

To be honest, this kind of negative emotions is not uncommon in the frozen fortress at this time.

No one is a fool, and he has his own judgment on the situation.

First, the black tide rule that had not changed for hundreds of years before the Skeleton Forest suddenly changed, crossing the defense line to attack the city behind regardless of the huge cost.

Due to the changes of the Black Tide, the Immortal Rangers who were patrolling the skeleton Forest were also seriously injured. Only more than 300 people were left in the legion of a thousand people who escaped.

And they were all seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

After that, another black tide suddenly broke out, endless, like an endless surging beast tide, attacking them with a magnificent offensive far beyond the past.

With an extremely fierce momentum, he pushed the army of monsters forward.

It is completely different from the previous Black Tide's actions that were just creatures in the Skeleton Forest to reduce the number of monsters and reduce the ecological pressure of the Skeleton Forest.

This fierce and violent attack even made them a little confused for a while and almost didn't defend them.

However, after paying a heavy price later, the defenders of the frozen fortress also stabilized their defense and drove the opponent back to the Forest of Skeleton.

Of course, they knew it was just a short-term advantage and did not win.

So they also wisely asked the Empire for support and received a large amount of material supply and personnel assistance.

With the help of Viscount Forreid and Baron Isaac, their pressure was greatly reduced and they even fought several beautiful annihilation battles.

They originally thought that this unusual dark tide should have rested, because so far the number of monsters killed and injured is about twice as much as the average in previous years.

The behavior of the monsters later confirmed their speculation. They left behind a large number of corpses of their race and retreated to the skeleton forest where they lived.

Seeing that he and others finally repelled the dark tide, which had been rare in the intensity of war for hundreds of years, and had been holding on to the fortress for almost a month, the exhausted legion also smiled relaxed.

However, they were obviously happy too early.

As the entire legion had begun to relax and celebrate, the change began.

The 873rd year of Dawn Calendar, late at night on November 25th.

Most of the soldiers have rested, and except for a few soldiers on duty, they are still awake late at night.

A harsh warlock suddenly sounded, alarming everyone in the sleeping state.

Although they did not hear the sound of artillery fire, their good qualities of the orders allowed them to complete their dressing changes very quickly and reach the designated location.

Eddies followed his captain and quickly arrived on the city wall to carry out strategic deployment and make good arrangements for defense.

But to their surprise, there was no enemy appearing.

Despite their good qualities, the Imperial Force's identity did not make them question this strange-looking command.

But they also had strong doubts in their hearts, because this seemed impossible.

The biggest function of the Frozen Fortress is to prevent the Black Tide from moving south every year and to block all monsters outside the territory.

Before this, although they paid a heavy price, they erased all the troubles.

In this far north of the empire, he really couldn't think of anything else that could threaten the remaining three thousand men in the first sequence of their empire army, and the team of 100 extraordinary men sent by the empire.

They buried all their doubts deep in their hearts and cheered up and looked ahead.

Two hours later, they saw a shocking scene.

The surging beast tide returned and turned into a dark red tide.

All the monsters had dark black and red patterns on their bodies, and there was a faint evil mist lingering on them, as if they were crazy, and they began to charge towards the Ice Fortress.

The monster that was originally rational and knew how to seek profit and avoid harm was as if it were mad at this time, it used its bones to hit the tall city walls, and used its endless lives to build a path to break through the fortress.

And now, it is the fifth day they have been besieged.

Although the beast tide has temporarily receded, this is not the dawn of victory, but just a breath before real despair.
