Wizard From Afar

If the fortress of Duanjieshan is the northern frontier of the empire, then the land north of Duanjieshan is a hell that does not exist at all and is "ruled" by blizzards and severe cold.

The north wind screamed like a blade, mixed with incomparably hard ice grains; as far as the eyes could be, there were faintly discernible Snow Mountain and thick white mist, magnificent and incomparably desolate.

Following the path of Legion fortress generation after generation for centuries, the team holding the banner of the Iron Crown stepped into the "remains" of this ancient giant dragon kingdom.

No matter what great civilization has been born on this land, it has once risen to the powerful kingdom of the entire world; now it is only a desolate to only a piece of white snow, and even withered A cedar cannot survive, the icy soil of death.

Following the legion soldiers marching in the line, Loren, holding the reins, rode the steady northern horse under him, looked around with his eyes, and enjoyed the rarely seen landscape in front of him.

Of course, the premise is that you can never hear the two "noises" behind you.

"I still don't believe that you have been here at the age of eleven, and you have become the leader of the banner after only two or three years?"

On the horse, Isaac Grantham was clinging to the reins, but he was still dishonest. With an unbelievable expression on his face, he stared at the leisurely and contented Lu Sien, who only held the reins with his left hand: "Seriously, based on your current head, you didn't have a sword height at the beginning?"

"Oh, sorry, I almost forgot that you are from Eleman, let’s start again-you probably didn’t have an Eleman dagger before, did you?"

Listen When he said this, Lu Sien immediately reacted with no anger but smiled: "Hahaha...Yes, compared to your group of monkeys like Lothar mountain folks, we all people in the city of Aleman are indeed It's a little guy!"

"Hoooo... it's beautiful!" Isaac's eyes lit up: "Amazing, I'm beginning to understand a little bit why Loren took so much effort to rescue you. "

"Well... You are Lord Loren's friend and I am his guard, so I don't want to distract you." Lu Sien shrugged his shoulders, and the gray pupil made an indifferent expression: " But in fact, you’re right. I didn’t have a Knight sword when I first came here."

"It’s okay, don’t care, you are still young after all!" Isaac quickly "comforted": "In the average height of your Elmans, you can be considered precocious and grow fast."

Loren, who walked in front, resisted the urge to look back and instinctively rolled the eyes.

"Although I don't have a sword as high, I will be the second-class sergeant of Legion in a year." The gray pupil continued to jokingly said: "Then it became the flag of the Second Banner Regiment. Captain!"

"Really?" Isaac's expression was incomprehensible: "The burly man with five big and three big brains is not convinced when he sees you so small?"

"Of course not. They quickly recognized my commanding ability and inherent prestige. Taming them is no more difficult than taming a few mountain monkeys." Lu Sien's mouth evokes a very proud arc. :

"Especially after I brought down twenty burly men with my bare hands, they became more convinced-let me remind you that each of them can bring down at least two dozen. You’re like this!"

"A dozen of them, each of them can bring down twenty-four Isaac · Grantham, you can bring down twenty of them, to convert...you...can Kill 480 people like me at the same time?"

Isaac stared at Lucien with a foolish expression: "Stop teasing, okay? Four hundred and eighty, I'll find a dirt The pit can be filled with spit stars!"

"..." Lu Sien.

"..." Loren.

"Wait, let me understand a little bit." Isaac frowned slightly, twitched his lips disdainfully: "Did you just try to threaten me--because if that's the case, then what? But it is quite non-deterrent, you'd better change one."

"...Well, this is what you asked for." The smile on Lucien's face was extremely stiff:

"Let me put it another way, do you know why Lord Loren rescued me from the dungeon?"

"Not quite clear, because you can beat me in particular?" Isaac raised his eyebrows deliberately:" Can you hit 480 people like me?"

"No, because only I know the road to Niederhogg." The gray-eyed boy's handsome face showed a childlike innocent and Unaffected smile.

"..." Isaac's expression froze for an instant.

For a moment of peace, Loren walking in front could even hear the whistling of the north wind.

"Sorry, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I shouldn’t be ironic about the height of you Elmans from the very beginning. I didn’t mean to look at you when you were young and wanted to bully. Bully you, because it looks very interesting...Do you think it is acceptable to apologize to you like this?"

"..." Lucien.

"..." Loren.

I didn't feel it when I was in the Fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain, but now Loren finds that the two of them really get along.

"In four days, we will be able to reach the Valley of Blood Skeletons." Lu Sien accelerated a little, rode to the front parallel to the black hair wizard, pointing to a piece of white mist in the distance:

"The front is the last outpost of the Broken Boundary Mountain Fortress, and it is also the last place for us to repair. The team should stop there for a day, by the way, let the rangers come nearby to investigate the situation. "

At the moment when the gray pupil's voice fell, Loren clearly saw a trace of sadness in those eyes.

Wait, he just said the last guard tower, is it possible that...

"Yes, you guessed it." He noticed the black hair wizard's expression on the side. The change, the heavy-faced Lucien was nodded calmly, and bit his lip:

"The last time the search team encountered the invading monsters there, all the monsters were destroyed, which is why I was treated as a fortress. The reason for deserting!"

"It turned out to be like this..." Loren face changed, and glanced at Lucien, who lowered his head next to him: "That...I mean on the day they were attacked, What happened?"

If this accidental attack was the source of everything, then if we can learn more about what happened, we might be able to see the truth behind the incident.

"...I arrived after everything was over. It was a day later than Legion, who came for reinforcements."

Faced with the question from the black hair wizard, Lucien's expression is very complicated: "But I can guarantee that no matter what happens, it is definitely not a small group of icy werewolves who are besieging the sentry tower, but an army of monsters!"

"An army of monsters?"

"The guard tower of the Broken Boundary Mountain Fortress—especially an important stronghold like the Blood Skeleton Valley guard tower, generally has very good protective measures and sufficient reserves. At least ten rangers plus half of the Hundred Men Squad organization; if you count the temporary search team, there are at least two Hundred Men Squad veterans in the guard tower."

"Such tight The defense, no three times the force is impossible to easily capture."

"But that’s it, I didn’t notice it when I was attacked, and even no ranger who sent the letter escaped. Go out and be completely wiped out silently! This is simply..."

Simply is impossible...Loren also frowned.

"The sentry tower was almost destroyed. There were traces of bloody battles everywhere. There were robe bones and the remains of monsters. It was like a sudden encounter, and there was nothing The siege without warning."

"It's so tragic...We can't even put all the broken corpses together!"

Sigh lightly, Lu Sien muttered indifferently. Said: "So the reinforcements who came to the reinforcements thought that it was us deserters who did not report to the fortress in time, which killed everyone-even before sending out rangers for assistance."

It is true... This is a very obvious thing at a glance, if it is really the same as what they thought...

But in fact, Lucien was not in the Valley of the Blood Skeleton at the time, but was discovering Niederhogg’s road On the way back, it was impossible to detect an enemy that appeared suddenly, so there was no way to detect it.

That is to say...there is a hidden story behind the complete destruction of the sentry tower, and for some reason they could not even find the monster army that suddenly appeared, and it was too late to react?

Loren squeezed the reins, squinting his eyes to look at the nearby Bloodskeleton Watch Tower in the distance.

He needs to know more!
