Wizard From Afar

The white snow flying in the sky, the bottomless ice cracks, the towering peaks, and the cliffs narrow enough to only pass two or three people at the same time-these are the valleys of blood skeletons The only sight in Edom.

The howling gust of wind, mixed with icy frost, almost obscured the entire sky, and the white snow in the sky heralded the death of winter on Broken World Mountain.

The coldest winter has already begun.

For Legion of the Empire, the most difficult problem of fighting north of Duanjie Mountain is never the supply and logistics, nor the insufficient supply of troops, but whenever the biggest blizzard of First Stage begins, The entire north will fall into the ice cave hell!

In such severe cold, let alone dispatching an army, even a small number of elite rangers are very difficult to move; so every winter the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain has to shrink its forces. As for the phenomenon of non-combat attrition.

Not to mention east of the Valley of Blood Skeletons, that is no longer a place where living life can survive-even the werewolves and minotaurs living on the ice sheet and the rest of the monster community, every winter Choose south.

Especially the wolves of the ice plains almost every year they cross the Duanjie Mountain, raiding and sweeping in the north of the Prince of Sackland, raze to the ground one after another exposed villages or simple fortresses. The slaughter of unarmed farmers.

Of course, most of the time, before they start plundering, they will be hunted and killed by the rangers in the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain. The overwhelming majority will be wiped out, and only a few can escape. Go back north; then go south again to looting in the coming year.

The inexhaustible monster and the ice-worgen that can't be killed are always the heart troubles of the fortress of Duanjieshan.

But now, in the eastern part of the bloody skeletal valley of the ice cave, there is a group of thousands of "Legion" that is marching along the narrow road in the mountains!

From a distance, it looks like an ash-gray "river" slowly passing by, and the continuous sound makes the ice walls and snow on both sides of the mountain tremble.

At the end of the horizon out of sight, there are more "streams" gradually converging-no noise, no conversation, only their stiffness and slowness can be heard in the howling wind, Rolling in like a torrent, the sound of continuous steps.

This deadly torrent, just like this, "quietly" along the Great Snow Mountain, where the north wind whistling, moved slowly towards the east of the Valley of Blood Skeletons.

A loud and long howl echoed over the Great Snow Mountain. In the blizzard, a black feather eagle hovered down in the sky and stood firmly on the shoulder of the black hair wizard.

Loren of the facial expression grave is lying on the edge of the cliff and looking down. The view is not only between the mountains, but even the narrow cliffs are all carrion demons arranged in a neat formation. People, the scene of the march!

Isaac, who was lying next to him, almost stretched out his head, staring dumbly at the sight that he had never seen before; the expression of Lucien on the side was even harder to see, from start to finish Both clenched their teeth, and the words "impossible" were written in the eyes of Moblue's hair.

"Holy Cross, his grandmother..." Isaac, who got up after a lot of energy, swallowed fiercely: "I... I said, how many monsters are there?"

p>

"I don't know."

The gray pupil bit his lower lip, and the right hand holding the hilt of the sword at his waist trembled constantly: "Even if it is calculated according to the least number. , I am afraid... it will not be less than ten thousand!"

"Ten thousand?" Isaac sucked in a breath of cold air: "I remember all the defenders of the Broken Boundary Mountain Fortress...Almost ten thousand. People, right?"

The ugly-faced Lucien was heavy and nodded.

Although Lucien guessed that the invasion might be real when the carrion demon appeared, but only by seeing it with his own eyes will he feel what is called horrible to see!

"Your Excellency Loren!"

The gray pupil "pa!" pressed the shoulder of the black hair wizard with a cry, and looked at him seriously: "I know I swear , And is no longer the guard of the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain-but this information is really critical, we must return immediately to convey this matter to His Royal Highness Prince Connold!"

Hesitated for a moment, The black hair wizard shook his head calmly: "Not now."

"Not now?! Do you know the fortress of Duanjieshan..."

"I know the fortress of Duanjieshan The power at the moment is probably not enough to resist a monster invasion from the north!" Loren interrupted Lucien, sighed said:

"From the moment the search team was killed and the guard tower was destroyed , His Royal Highness Connold sensed that the invasion was approaching, and it was probably beyond our imagination-but the problem was that he did not have enough evidence to prove it, and he did not know what happened in the Valley of Blood Skeletons."

Lu Sien couldn't help being taken aback.

"even more how, even if we go back now, it will not help-first, no one will believe the three of us; second, if we really say so, tell them that an army of monsters is marching eastward , I'm afraid it will have the opposite effect!"

The gray pupil frowned slightly, obviously he understood.

Even if they really believe their words, people of overwhelming majority will think that the goal of this army of monsters is not the empire, but somewhere else. The final result is absolutely unthinkable...

Loren on the side gave him a meaningful look, and a trace of worry flashed in his pupils.

Now it seems that the Prince of Sackland may have predicted it a long time ago. This invasion is very likely to be different from any previous one, so Brandon was allowed to go north to look for clues. .

More importantly, if Brandon dies in the north, there will be no monsters to invade Connold, and there will be sufficient reasons to "revenge". The power of the entire Sackland Empire will be assembled to launch a massive "expedition".

In the end, if Brandon is strong enough and finds clues, Prince Sackland, the commander of the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain, can also have enough reasons to concentrate the power of the entire empire in his hands.

In other words, no matter what the result is, it will be an absolutely favorable ending for Connold Dessalion-whether Brandon and even the entire northbound team can come back alive, from the very beginning to For him, it doesn't matter.

There is nothing for him, and there is no loss at all. This is simply a "business" with no loss of profit!

"Wait, if that's the case... then it doesn't make sense!"

Isaac frowned on the side suddenly "interrupted" and said: "I have read the records of the wizard tower, from There have been nine monster invasions in the first generation of the empire up to now-of course, counting this should be the tenth."

"Nine invasions, all of them occurred in the blood corpse without exception. Near the valley and Duanjieshan, and before the start of the severe winter-if the same as before, these large popsicles should have attacked and interrupted the fortress of Jieshan!"

"What do you mean? "The gray pupil reflected over it alertly.

"Isaac means that this'invasion' is different from any previous one-if the monsters in the north have really completed their assembly, they should have been Broken Boundary Mountain Fortress launched an invasion!" Loren took the words:

"The result of doing this is to buy more preparation time for the Broken Boundary Mountain Fortress and make the fortress more difficult to gnaw. It is impossible to speak of any advantages at all!"

Feeling the icy cold of the north wind, the black hair wizard on the facial expression grave clenched his palm slightly.

Yes, if their target is really the Broken Boundary Mountain Fortress, they and Brandon don’t have to do anything at all, because the monsters who have not marched south until now have been impossible and easily captured. The fortress is out.

But what if their target is not the fortress of Duanjieshan?

If we say, from the very beginning, a certain Evil God apostle who assembled this army of monsters, does it actually have another plan?

"Lu Sien, I have a question."

"Please tell me." Perceiving the solemn expression of the black hair wizard, the gray pupil boy did not dare to neglect.

"I need your judgment." Loren slowly raised his right hand and pointed at the end of the disappearance of the monster army: "From the perspective of the carrion monsters' marching route, they are the most Where is the possible destination?"

"The most likely...destination?" Lu Sien was slightly startled, lost in thought; in the next second, the silver-gray pupils continued in terror Shrinking:

"Need...Hogg——?!"
