On December 14, 831, the southern forest area of ​​the Great Eas Mountains, Black Forest Fortress.

Heavy snow fell in the roar of the strong wind, and the goose-feather-like snowflakes stormed with the north wind, and gray haze enveloped the sky.

This is a Blizzard whose vision is blocked. Even the elves who are known as the sharpest gaze can never see the scene dozens of meters away in this situation.

But outside the fortress, in the endless ice field before the city gate, dozens of armored knights stood in an array against the storm of wind and snow, and a black-bottomed and gold-edged flag was inserted in front of the formation and fluttered in the cold wind.

These knights were wearing bright silver armor, with long swords and flying axes on their waists, and their breastplate was engraved with patterns of the head of the winter wolf. They held their helmets in one hand and the reins in the other. Tall and strong war horses stood quietly beside the group of knights. They were hung with leather pads for cold protection, underneath were steel light armor, and a silver-gray metal cavalry was hung on the side.

These Northland war horses, trained and with the blood of the earthly dragon, are usually bloodthirsty and have a irritable personality, but are so docile in front of their masters... and logically speaking, according to the weight of the whole body of armor, most people cannot even walk freely in their clothes, let alone walk on the snow field under the wind and frost. However, these extremely strong silver knights and half-dragon war horses seem to not take this weight seriously at all, and it seems that they do not hinder their actions at all.

In the blizzard, there was no one talking to each other in the array. The knights remained motionless in the cold and cold, as if waiting for something.

Finally, after a while, the horn of assembly suddenly echoed outside the city, and at the same time, a masked knight standing in front of the queue also said loudly in a dull male voice: "Knights, gather, line up!"

The sound passed through the snow and entered everyone's ears.

The knights who had already formed the array heard the orders of their commanders. Their bodies remained motionless, but their eyes lit up a little. Some of the younger and less steady guys turned their eyes, and then secretly turned their heads and looked at the gate of the fortress.

Tat.

Accompanied by the sound of iron boots trampling on the ice and snow step by step, two large and small figures slowly walked out of the flying snow all over the sky.

Everyone's eyes were all focused on the tall figure.

As he approached, his outline gradually became clear, and he could see clearly that this was a tall man in armor. He also held a helmet in his hand and held his black war horse and walked slowly towards the knights' array.

But when this black outline really walked out of the cover of heavy snow and entered the knights' vision, they couldn't help but feel their scalp suddenly numb, and a trembling chill rose from their tailbone and went straight to their brain marrow. All the hairs along the way stood up one by one, making people feel frightened.

Pressure! This is a more terrifying and terrifying pressure than the Black Tide Siege and the Golden Behemoth that had been a few days ago!

Many people were secretly frightened and wanted to escape instinctively, but after all, they were all Silver Knights. They suppressed this impulse and stood firmly in place to fight their instincts.

At the source of the pressure, the man wearing black full-body armor and dark red pupils had already walked to the knights. The ancient Maximilian armor was full of heavy majesty, and the relief of the crow was vaguely visible on his shoulders.

Facing dozens of fully armed armored knights and the same number of dragon-blooded war horses, he seemed not nervous at all, and there was no fluctuation in his heart. As someone who has seen scenes ten times a hundred times larger than this, he has long been accustomed to it.

The warrior stood beside the flying black and gold flag. He looked around the fifty knights present and nodded and praised: "Yes, the array is neat."

Then he said simply: "I am your lord, Joshua Radcliffe. Yesterday I issued a call to call on the bulletin board to gather here today to tell you something."

"The battle is not over."

"As we all know, we encountered a black tide attack a few days ago, and an unprecedented group of mad beasts surrounded the fortress. They used the magic of chaos to interfere with communication and cut off their hope of help. Even in the end, the sudden golden beasts broke through the city walls, and the fortress was almost fallen. Fortunately, I arrived in time at the last moment, otherwise, not many of you present would have survived."

After hearing this, there was a vague riot in the neat array of knights, but no one looked indignant and even showed a look of shame, because their lord was telling the truth. As the knights guarding the fortress, they did not make the oath they made.

Most of the fear and anger come from their own powerlessness, and as knights who hold vows and virtues, they will not refuse to admit this.

The speech continues.

"This is not to show off my force to you, but to just state the fact that the fierceness of this dark tide is far beyond what you have encountered in the past. If you are not careful, it will lead to a global collapse. Once the fortress is broken, the villages and towns behind you will lose their greatest protection, and they have almost no power to fight back against the crazy beasts."

After a pause, Joshua stared at the crowd in front of him and said in a louder voice: "Those living in the villages and towns may have your parents, wives, and descendants. I believe that you choose to be knights and hone your martial arts and body, not just to eat more food, but to prepare to protect them. Then imagine that if a group of beasts break through the level, rush freely on the snowfield, attack your relatives and friends wantonly, drag them out of the house and tear them apart, and then swallow them... I believe that you are willing to sacrifice your life for the fortress for glory and duty, but are you willing to see such a scene?!"

No, never!

"I swear to guard the fortress to the death and will never retreat!" Some knights in the array couldn't help but speak. They frowned and looked worried, as if they were following the scenes that Joshua imagined, so their decisive vow was quickly made: "I would rather die before them and be swallowed by monsters than see such a scene!"

But there were still doubts in the crowd: "But Lord Lord, since you killed the giant beast last time and drove the beast tide away, there was no trace of half a monster in the surrounding black forest... Isn't this black tide over?"

There is also a more direct one: "Yes, Lord Lord, we have successfully defended the fortress, and now our family members are sure to be safe. Are you a little alarmist about what you said?

"Of course not." The warrior in black armor shook his head and looked directly at the questioning knight.

"What I said is not only not alarmist, but has even become a fact now. Just in the northeast direction of our Moldovan territory is now being besieged by more than 200,000 mad beasts."

Speaking of this, Joshua stretched out his hand, and the red flame burned on his fingertips, and then he left red marks in the air for a long time. He used these marks as a pen to draw a simple map in the air: "The four northern leaders are actually integrated. As long as the fortress in Moldova is broken, our plan to encircle the Black Forest of the Daji Mountains will completely collapse. The surging beasts can easily bypass our defense from the rear, directly enter the rich hinterland, and attack them wantonly."

He drew a red arrow heavily at the Moldova Fortress, as eye-catching as blood: "End? No, as I said at the beginning, the battle is not only not over, but has just begun! We will never have peace if we do not defeat this wave of beasts!"

The commotion in the array was even greater, but it was not fear or suspicion. During the discussion, a middle-aged knight with gray hair took a step forward, and he asked Joshua seriously: "So Lord, what should we do?"

"What should I do? It's very simple. Let's rush over and support Moldova and help them stay."

Joshua said simply and directly. He said without hesitation: "It is better to fight in other people's territory than to fight in his own territory. Although this is not a battle that takes place on our land, it can still protect our relatives and children."

"But that's two hundred thousand crazy beasts." Another knight walked out from behind the middle-aged knight. He didn't look weak, but just a simple feeling and doubt: "Fifty thousand crazy beasts can force our fortress into a desperate situation, while two hundred thousand is four times the size before, even if it is moving the entire Black Forest fortress over, it is useless."

Indeed, even if they occupy the convenience of the city walls and various magical alchemy equipment, the three thousand defenders and reserves, and they fight all their strength, they are just barely fighting against the unwise beasts. For 200,000, what's the use of summoning fifty knights? Even if they are all elite combat powers of silver, they cannot last long in the endless beast tide.

But the soldier shook his head, not looking like he did not agree with this statement.

"It's different from when you were defending the city." He said: "At that time, you were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and had no advantage in average strength. In terms of high-end station power, the other party had a golden monster, and you only had three silver peak officials. In this case, you can persist for such a long time, which is enough to prove that the crazy beast is not powerful."

Speaking of this, he showed a arrogant smile: "What's more, with me here and I will lead you, so you will surely win."

Such proud and heroic words were spoken from the man in black armor, but no one had any objections. Even those who had doubts before did not raise any questions about this. The knights nodded for granted their first cheers since the assembly: "Winning!" "Winning!" "Winning!"

"Since that's the case, get on!"

"yes!"

With this order, all the knights put on helmets and stepped on the war horses at the same time. They hung the package with dry food supplies on the side of the horses, and the war horses with the blood of the earthly dragon also sniffed at this time, and white air gushed out and swelled up.

Joshua also slowly put on his cold and heavy helmet. In the V-shaped gap, two red lights burned like fire. He turned over and sat on the war horse, and then pulled the firefly behind him. Until then, someone noticed that the second figure was a silver-haired girl, but no one cared about this matter now.

The Black Armor warrior issued an order:

"Listen to my orders, target the northeast, Moldova, and move forward!"

After saying that, he immediately set out and set out first.

Perhaps, only such a person can bring about certain victory!

The flames in the chest were burning, and the knights responded loudly again: "Go forward!"

Above the endless snow field.

Ice dust splashed and horse hooves roared. In the heavy snow, the fast-moving knights set off a wave of snow dust. The heavy steps shook the ground. They rushed towards the distance like sharp arrows and tsunamis.
Chapter completed!
