Seeing this scene, the warrior stopped, turned around, put down the head of the giant beast in his hand, and walked up to Kili and others.

The old man, one injured and one unconscious in front of him were all his father's most capable subordinates, and he could also be regarded as Joshua's elders - of course he is his subordinate now, but the reason cannot be said that. Facing these people he has known since childhood, he must go over and greet them.

However, at the moment when both sides encountered each other, the warrior frowned. He stopped and looked at the green-haired half-elves with confusion. Then he turned to the white-haired mage and asked, "Mr. Lawrence, who is this...?"

"ah?"

He was stunned for a moment. Faced with this situation, Kili, who was walking ahead, had not yet reacted.

He had met Joshua when he was a child and taught him to use weapons under the instructions of the old earl. Although both sides had not seen each other for many years, because he could imagine the boy who grew up, he did not feel that the face in front of him was unfamiliar. However, the half-elf warrior never expected that Joshua could not remember him at all, and immediately felt that he was greatly hurt in his heart.

"Don't be stupid, your helmet has fallen."

Feng sighed and heard the sound of a sigh: "He has never seen your face before, so it is normal not to know you."

Hearing the word "helmet", Joshua immediately understood: "Teacher Kili!"

After saying that, the warrior's expression suddenly became strange - not to mention anything else, the green-haired half-elf in front of him had a very handsome face. Although the side face was covered with dense magic patterns, it did not reduce its charm at all. Of course, more importantly, this guy seemed to be a little smaller than him, and he had no choice but to the harsh and majestic tall warrior he remembered!

Even if Joshua's face is tough, he is still a young man in his early twenties. The other party, who is at least forty or fifty years old, looks younger than him... No wonder he usually has to cover his face with a masked helmet, and magic patterns are second. The big men of the Knights' Order saw that their immediate boss was still so young and handsome for so many years. The double blow of age and appearance, he would not know how low his morale was.

Feng didn't find anything strange. He respectfully bowed to Joshua, and then said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Lord, this is not a place to speak. If possible, please wait in the fortress conference room. After Kili and I sent Zorgen to the medical treatment, we will immediately report on the situation of this dark tide."

"There is no need to be so formal, Mr. Lawrence."

After waved his hand, Joshua sighed: "This time it was my fault. I haven't contacted me for several days, but I still haven't reacted, thinking it's the reason for everything's safety..."

"This is a problem of communication being blocked. No one would have thought that the Black Tide would initiate so quickly. It was not your fault... Lord Lord, your fault, not to mention that there were not many casualties until the end, that is, the city wall collapsed, and we need to repair it again."

After taking the conversation and coming to his senses, Kiley shook his head and said, "Now the demon tide has receded, and before the next golden monster appears, they probably dare not come out. We have plenty of time to repair it. To be honest, compared to the past, the loss this time is not very large."

With a gaze turned a little, he saw the silver-shining egg-shaped object in his hand, and his instinctive curiosity made the half-elf ask more: "Is this?"

"This was discovered by me in the giant beast."

Joshua didn't care, and he explained a little: "The mammoth beast usually eats herbs to make a living. Although it is not docile, it will never actively attack other creatures. Moreover, as the top of the ecological layer, if it were not for it, the giant beast would never appear in the beast tide."

Feng, who was standing beside him, stared at the silver egg, but his brows gradually frowned.

A familiar breath came, and he seemed to have sensed it somewhere.

But now it is not the time when the white-haired mage thought so, so he said: "Zorgen's injury is very serious. If it is unstable, its strength may be regressing..."

"You don't need to explain this kind of thing to me, go quickly."

"So see you in the conference room later, Lord Lord."

——Outside the city, in the south of the Black Forest Fortress.

The silver-haired girl rode a black war horse and galloped in the white snow field. The horse's hooves splashed with snow dust, leaving marks.

After a moment, the war horse stopped running. Now, in front of Firefly, there is the tall city wall on the side of the Black Forest fortress facing the snow field. The huge gray-white rocks are almost the same color as the surrounding environment. At first glance, it is impossible to find its traces.

The reason why I ran back and forth in the snow in the past two days was that the flood of fog interfered with the communication. Joshua and she could not find the specific range of the fortress, so they could only move towards the visual mountain range, and then circled along the foot of the mountain. Fortunately, they found it in the end, and it was not in vain to have such a hard time.

When he arrived at the fortress's gate, the girl of Shenji was surprised to find that the soldiers guarding the city had a calm face. It seemed that a shrill alarm sounded from the other end of the communication array had always sounded. Everyone on the city wall also looked at the silver-haired girl riding a war horse and looking very young, and guessed her origin.

Ying didn't think too much about it, so she simply dismounted and led Hei, showing the famous brand that proved her identity to the city guards on the city wall. The light flashed, and her name and origin were projected in mid-air. This famous brand with magical fluctuations could not be faked, so a small door on the side of the huge city gate was immediately opened.

"The Lord Lord should be in the memory room next to the central tower of the fortress."

When passing through the passage, the soldier who already knew her identity was informed of such information. Although he could sense the place where his contractor was, the silver-haired girl still politely thanked the soldier and walked out of the passage.

What appeared before her was a street with people coming and going.

Most civilians and uninjured soldiers were transporting construction materials back and forth and distributing supplies. Many injured soldiers were standing in front of the doors of various medical rooms waiting, and some even treated their wounds on the streets. A few silver soldiers and archers were relatively less injured. At this time, they had already started running around to maintain order.

But the mages in robes did not appear. Firefly noticed keenly that there was a figure wearing a gray robe at the other end of the street. The man covered his head and limped on the stone path, which seemed very uncomfortable.

This is normal. Faced with war and endless monsters, the noble profession of the mage cannot play its advantages. The powerful targeting is of no use in the face of the black tide with hundreds of monster attributes. Except for some special advanced war mages, this is basically the case. A large number of spell castings cause them to be subjected to mental backlash for a period of time after ending their mental tightness and are extremely troubled.

But no matter what, the city can be said to be well organized, and there is no sign of an extremely dangerous battle to defend the city before.

Fireflies have conceived many scenes.

The worst of them was that when she arrived, the fortress had been broken, the city was burning in flames, black smoke columns were everywhere, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt meat. The best thing was that with the help of the master, the city wall was not broken by monsters, and many soldiers and civilians resisted the invasion of the enemy on the wall, and the battle was in full swing.

In short, she had never even thought about such a peaceful scene!

How long has it been? It took only two hours to arrive. Did the Black Tide end so quickly?! The monsters are all soft animals, retreating so quickly?

After inquiring about a city guard on the roadside, Ying successfully got the information she wanted.

"What, it's really solved so quickly..."

After sighing leisurely, the silver-haired girl couldn't help but feel happy for her master's victory and strength, but was a little depressed: "It's a pity that this glory does not have my credit... It's obvious that as a weapon, it doesn't get the chance to be used, alas..."

This feeling is really hard to explain.

Fire naturally knew that this idea in her mind was wrong. How to use tools is the owner's business. As a prop, it is not necessary, so she should hide it in the sheath and just wait quietly. Wanting to appear is an immature manifestation and may even hinder the owner's judgment.

Although she knew the truth and understood its correctness, she was still a little scared.
