Crocodile's Ark of Tomorrow

From northern Ursus to its northern border, the color of the snow becomes darker the higher you go.

Until the color of snow was completely submerged in black.

In an abandoned village, an army stays here.

They have no number, they do not belong to Ursus, they are like ghosts in this wasteland.

From October last year to February this year, they thought they had waited for spring, but this time the heavy snow once again destroyed their hopes.

"Captain, we don't have much food left."

"How many days are left?"

"A week at most."

"Cutting down our share, I'll go out hunting."

"But......"

"Just do it."

"Yes!"

This is a Wendigo wearing heavy armor. If Gard is here, he will find that the size of the Wendigo here is far larger than those on the defense line of the Ursus Ice Field.

And here, there is also the Ursus shield guard that Gard once saw.

It's just that compared with the Wendigo and the shield guards who have brand new armor and clothes on the ice field, the equipment on the Wendigo and the shield guards in the wooden house can be described as "tattered".

Even so, this Wendigo and a shield guard exude a will and spirit that even those warriors on the ice field are dwarfed by.

It doesn't matter if the equipment is damaged, just seize the props from the enemy and mend them.

It doesn't matter if there is not enough food, the whole snow field is their hunting ground.

It doesn't matter that winter is coming, they have persisted for more than a dozen winters, even if this winter is unusually long, they can persist until the next winter.

"Dad, did you see what we caught? There are so many scale beasts that we can eat for days."

A slightly cheerful voice sounded from outside the house, and a girl in shabby clothes walked in from the outside. She clearly called a Wendigo her father, but the girl was not a Wendigo, but a Custer.

"Petlova heard from people in the village that there is a large lake in the north, and the lake is frozen in winter. As long as we drill a hole in the ice, a scaled beast will jump out by itself."

Unlike ordinary Ursus women, the voice of the Custer girl is not rough, and it sounds like a bird singing in the sky.

But now, the girl is more like a little girl who is asking for credit from her father, completely missing the prestige and calmness she usually has when facing her soldiers.

"You are doing well, my daughter."

In the wooden house, under the bony mask of the tall Wendigo, there was a relieved smile.

He is a warrior, but not a god.

Fate is like an evil god who likes to tease mortals. He took away his son, but gave him another daughter.

He won't appreciate it.

But the girl in front of him has become the most important part of his life.

He didn't know how many more years he could last. Even Wendigo's lifespan would gradually decay due to the erosion of the origin stone.

He just doesn't want to succumb to fate!

"Adam, when I'm away, you guard the team and ask Mishka to come with me. We have to find enough food to store before the snow continues to fall heavily."

"Yes, Captain."

The tall Wendigo stood up. He was really tall, but his huge body didn't look bloated, but rather slender. The thick armor was embedded on his body like a steel plate.

He took up his spear, not his shield.

For a hunt, his shield is too heavy and will startle his prey.

Perhaps no matter what kind of creature it is, it will be startled when this wendigo runs in front of it.

When Wendigo walked out of the cabin with his head down, his feet stepped on the snow, leaving a deep footprint.

But soon, as the snow fell, Wendigo's footprints were reburied.

However, Wendigo stood under the heavy snow, but keenly noticed the abnormality of the sudden heavy snow.

"No, no, Mishka, the snow is not right."

Wendigo stretched out his hand, and he touched a snowflake. The falling snow, which should have been pure and flawless, looked a bit gray as if it had been covered with some dust.

"Evil!"

Wendigo muttered to himself.

They are thousands of kilometers away from the deepest line of defense in the ice sheet, and even the last line of defense is more than a thousand kilometers away from them.

Why does the breath of demons affect this place?

Wendigo had to consider a possibility—the defense line on the Ursas ice field had been penetrated by the demons, and the demons were already approaching the snowfields in the north of Ussas.

Why?Why?Why?

Was this his punishment for leaving Kazdel, for leaving Ursus?

"Mishka."

"Captain?"

"Get all shield guards ready, we're going north."

"But......"

"We have no choice!"

If the defense line in the north of Ursus is really penetrated, then whether it is him, the guerrillas, or the infected people who sheltered under the name of the guerrillas, they will all die.

He didn't know why this happened.

But the breath of the demon actually polluted the sky thousands of miles away. This is an extremely ridiculous thing in itself. Can ordinary demons really do this kind of thing?

"dad?"

Seeing Wendigo go back and forth, Custer's girl showed a puzzled expression on her face.

"Yelena, when I'm not around, you have to protect yourself."

"dad!"

"All shield guards, follow me."

Ignoring his daughter's shouts, Wendigo looked at the regrouped shield guards.

They have the same organization as the shield guards of Ursus, and their existence is even more legendary among the shield guards of Ursus.

Although the years have destroyed their bodies, although the armor on their bodies has been riddled with holes, even though they have repaired their shields time and time again.

However, when they heard the Wendigo in front of them give orders, the eyes of all the shield guards regained light, soul, and life.

"We, march!"

......

In the west of Ursus, a team of celestial masters from the Yan Kingdom has been running around for several months. Ever since they knew that an avatar who should have been supervised had left the land of the Yan Kingdom, they began to pursue it day and night.

They didn't want to make an enemy of that incarnation, they just didn't want her to leave the border of Yan Kingdom.

Because of a disaster decades ago, Si Suitai, who supervised the incarnation of the Sui Beast, had an unprecedented expansion of power and status in Yan Kingdom, which caused them, the Tianshi Mansion's celestial masters, to follow them all the way.

But the means and abilities of the opponent, how can ordinary celestial masters like them catch up.

Speaking like this, in fact, these 21 celestial masters are the most elite group of young people in the entire celestial master's mansion. They are not so much here to track down the incarnation of the year beast, but to go out to gain experience.

Si Sui Tai can use his own power to order them, but they can also work without any effort. After all, the incarnation of the Sui Beast is not their enemy. The deeds of the fathers joining forces to fight against the evil spirits.

It's not the one who likes to make troubles trapped in the capital. You have to take care of the whole liquor when he goes down the mountain.

The person in charge of leading the team was a middle-aged male celestial master in a white robe.

Because he was originally responsible for supervising the incarnation of the year-old beast that left, since the other party ran out of Yan Kingdom, he naturally had to bear part of the responsibility.

As for the middle-aged man, there was a blond girl in a tight black dress with straight and slender legs, holding a staff in one hand and a compass in the other.

A group of people were advancing in the wind and snow, and the middle-aged celestial master asked: "Qingyan, have you ever found the incarnation of the old beast?"

"Never."

The girl shook her head.

"That's it."

The middle-aged celestial master sighed.

"Since we can't find it, Si Suitai can't blame us. We have fought against the Ling Beast twice, and she escaped each time."

"The ability to make beasts escape is unrivaled in the world. Even if your master comes, you may not be able to keep her. If she wants to leave, how can we easily keep her?"

"It's better to find a place to have a drink."

The middle-aged celestial master said solemnly.

"Uncle Master is right, that beast likes to drink alcohol the most, if you can't find it, just ask where there is good wine nearby, maybe you can find traces of that beast."

The blond girl said seriously.

"Ah this."

The middle-aged celestial master thought to himself, I just simply want to drink some wine, what kind of temper is Lingshou, and when she has had enough fun, she will naturally come back.

Anyway, it's snowing heavily, so it's better to find a place to rest before dark, and Si Suitai, who come and go, doesn't seem to give them a few taels of extra wages.

The middle-aged celestial master thought, looking at the falling snow in the sky.

The gray snowflakes fell from the sky and fell on the body, but it was not as cold as ordinary ice and snow, but even colder.

The ease and contentment on the face of the middle-aged Tianshi disappeared.

"Chongguang, how long has it been snowing?"

He asked another younger disciple of the Tianshi Mansion who was following him.

"Reporting to Master Bai, it has been one day and three hours."

The face of the middle-aged celestial master gradually became dignified. He is one of the celestial masters second only to the legendary celestial master in the celestial master's mansion. How could he not know what the falling snow in the sky represented?
