The cold wind of the early morning wind blew through the wilderness of the wildfire field, and the morning sun was still under the horizon, only faintly revealing a touch of fish belly white, and the first rays of sunlight had not yet arrived.
In the cold wind, the Imperial Eagle Banner on the flagpole fluttered.
It was a garrison located directly north of Wildfire Town, where the Byzantine Second Corps was stationed.
As one of the regular corps of the Byzantine Empire, the Second Corps is a pure infantry army, and it is also the middle combat unit in the Byzantine Empire's military battle plan, which is to face the invasion of the Odin in the wildfire field.
In the morning, the huge garrison barracks were still silent, only the night guard patrol was wandering, the soldiers on the lookout were tightly wrapped in leather robes, shrunk their heads in the cold wind, a little listless, and their eyes were bloodshot after staying up all night.
The damn wildfire field was too cold in the morning The commander of the Second Corps, General Perizoli, had already gotten up, dressed neatly, and had just walked out of the big tent, and glanced at the pro-soldier on night duty at the door with his head tilted and holding his spear and dozing off, the forty-year-old imperial general just smiled casually, went up and kicked the pro-soldier lightly, and under the nervous eyes of the pro-soldier after waking up, he just smiled generously and strode away.
General Perizoli is forty years old, and although he comes from a large family and has a prominent aristocratic status, he can still be regarded as a qualified imperial soldier.
The style of work in the army is simple and steady, and he has never lacked courage when fighting, and he has been in the army for 20 years, although he has not made any outstanding contributions, but he has not made any major mistakes, and the so-called "hard work without merit" is basically the most pertinent evaluation of people like him.
Perizoli did not pursue the dereliction of duty of his soldiers sleeping on the duty post, he took a few deep breaths, the cold air of the early morning pierced his lungs a little faintly, he just scolded in a low voice, took a few officers, and began to patrol the camp with a relaxed face.
In fact, at the moment, all the people of the Second Corps are in the same relaxed state of mind as their generals.
According to the army's plan, the invasion of the Odin was blocked in three ways, but the second corps was assigned to a very easy location: they were stationed in the middle of the wildfire field, with two woods on the north side of the station, about two days away, facing the dwarven territory, and to the northeast of the right flank was the red wilderness occupied by the goblins.
This geographical location gives people a very safe feeling: even if those Odin really want to fight, it is unlikely that they will choose such a direction: with the territory of the dwarves and the territory of the goblins in the way, the Odin will inevitably pass through the territory of the dwarves first, and risk conflict with the dwarves if they want to fight from here.
Any commander with a brain would probably not do such a stupid thing, everyone knows that the dwarves are very powerful, and no general will consume his troops in such a place first.
The dwarves and goblins standing in front of them became the natural barrier of the Second Legion.
In fact, the Second Corps was not an elite ace corps known for its combat power in the Byzantine Empire, and their strength was probably in the middle of the second line, so they were sent to such a relatively safe position.
According to General Perizoli's guess, the reason why the military department put its own troops here is only to prevent the small army of the Odin from sneaking in and sneaking in through the gaps in the dwarven territory, and the possibility of such a small force sneaking up is also very small.
Despite this, Perizoli made some arrangements that he thought were already very safe: he had set up four checkpoints on the north side of the station, each several miles apart, and the garrison was rotated every two days, and if the Odin really tried to send a small group of strange soldiers to sneak in and sneak in, they would not be able to escape their eyes.
However, Perizzoli thought that this was unlikely, and there were some considerations for setting up four checkpoints, but it was to prevent those dwarves in the north from suddenly going crazy and provoking him.
As for the Odin, as was customary, they should have moved south from the Arbuckt Plains, where the Thirteenth Corps was garrisoned, and the hardest battles were given to the Iron Army, as was customary in the Empire.
In the quiet of the morning, General Perizoli took people to patrol the garrison, which was not his habit, but he knew that after this battle, he would be transferred out of this army, and after four years of working here, Perizoli still had a lot of feelings for this army, so take a few more looks before leaving.
Just as he had gone around and sweated slightly, Perizzoli had a loose smile on his face as he saw that a group of soldiers had already walked out of the tent and lined up for the morning exercise.
However, his smile only bloomed for a moment before it froze Because, he saw something balefire A blazing flame erupted from a lookout at a checkpoint in the north, and the black plume of smoke shot straight into the sky, rising to a height of tens of meters in the cold wind before being blown away And this outpost is actually the closest one to his own barracks When Perizoli saw the beacon, his face stiffened, and before the astonishment in his heart had subsided, he heard a terrible voice in his ears Howling This is the howl of a wild beast, the undulating howl, I don't know how many, maybe there are dozens, maybe there are hundreds, the thick and full of violent roars are intertwined, and they come along the cold wind, and the scalp of people is numb This dull roar suddenly broke the silence of the morning.
Perizoli was stunned for a moment, his face changed wildly, he frantically rushed to the door of the station, kicked away the soldiers who were still in a daze with the roar, turned over and jumped on the lookout to look north.
Then, the muscles on the Imperial General's face suddenly twisted, and a bead of sweat the size of a bean fell quickly on his forehead To the north, the nearest lookout was already in the midst of a raging fire, and a row of black shadows had flashed rapidly beside a high ground on the left side of the lookout, and in the hazy morning light, the rows of black shadows gathered more and more, as if a black cloud was pressing on the hillside That's where the chilling roar came from.
General Perizoli, who was standing on the lookout, quickly saw the appearance of those black clouds One by one, violent black bears crowded on the hillside, lined up in a row, densely packed, each of those black bears was thicker and taller than ordinary bears, with black fur, and wearing rough and heavy black armor, shoulders, and armor on the arm guards of the upper limbs, and with sharp inverted blades, these guys stood there as if they were standing in several rows, and they didn't know how many were behind them, and the more they gathered, the more they gathered What's even more terrifying is that on the backs of these bears wearing heavy and thick armor, each bear's back is close to the neck where there is a saddle-like thing, and on the bear's back are sitting the guys on the bears of the Odin, all of whom are wearing metal armor that is extremely rare among the Odin, and they are made to look rough but extremely heavy, each of them is polite, holding a thick battle axe with one hand, beating his chest with the other, his bare arms are covered with black body hair, and the sound of these guys roaring, It's almost the same as the black bears under them.
Perizoli saw this clearly, and his heart sank to the bottom in an instant, only to feel that his eyes were black, and his heart suddenly jumped wildly, he was a little out of breath in an instant, opened his mouth hard, and bit his tongue fiercely, and the severe pain made him finally temporarily ask for that huge shock.
On the lookout, the general suddenly turned his head, his expression distorted and deformed, and he roared wildly.
"The enemy attack is the Berserk of Odin" The poignant voice instantly spread throughout the station No horns, no drums of war.
The group of bear-riding odins on the hillside suddenly rushed down in a roar The black bears ran hard, and hundreds of black bears gathered together and poured down, like a black cloud swept by the wind, rushing towards the Byzantine army garrison at a frantic speed.
The hasty trumpet sounded, and the Byzantine camp suddenly resounded with panicked shouts, and the officers drove around in disheveled clothes to drive the equally disheveled soldiers, and more soldiers had just had time to climb out of the tents in a hurry, and were frantically urged by the officers to line up, most of the soldiers were even wearing only robes, and some of them did not even have weapons in their hands.
Perizzoli had ordered the camp gate to be closed with a distorted expression, and the general's anxious roar kept ringing out.
The distance was too close, and with all their might, when the defenders stationed at the camp gate barely gathered more than a hundred archers, and before they could make a salvo, those black bear warriors had already rushed to the camp gate However, the wooden fence wall of the station, which was only one person high, was easily broken in front of the violent black bear, and the black bear warriors rushed into the camp frantically, and the guards guarding the camp gate temporarily lined up the human wall queue, and shattered in an instant under the crazy impact of more than ten black bears who took the lead in breaking through the camp gate, under the giant palm of the black bear, the flesh and blood of the soldiers were particularly fragile, and several soldiers were directly smashed their heads before they even had time to scream, and the soldiers in the second row were immediately torn to pieces, and several officers also tried to organize a counterattack, Then the black bear warrior who rushed in had already rushed into the crowd, and before an officer's sword was swung, it was directly hit by the black bear, and the sternum was shattered in the air, and although an officer slashed the black bear, the long sword was easily broken under the swing of the black bear's giant palm, and then the Odin warrior axe sitting on the bear's back roared past, and the human head rose to the sky The queue of hundreds of defenders guarding the gate of the camp was rushed down in just a few breaths, hundreds of Byzantine warriors were killed at the first glance, and the thick wooden gate of the camp gate had collapsed, and the fence wall was forced through by a hundred and ten black bear warriors, and there was a loud noise, and the fifty-meter-long fence wall collapsed.
More and more black bear warriors swarmed in from the gap and rushed towards the chaotic Byzantine army As you can imagine, most of the Byzantine soldiers had just woken up from their sleep, most of them didn't have time to put on their armor, they didn't even have weapons, they didn't have shields, and their flesh and blood were torn to shreds without resistance under the impact of the black bear warriors.
The flag officer of the first flag regiment of the second corps counterattacked with a patrol team that happened to be on duty, and only barely resisted for a moment, the flag officer was very skilled, and the long sword cut down a black bear with the light of fighting spirit, but then he was knocked down by the four black bears that rushed up frantically at the same time, and after a miserable scream, his body was torn into several pieces of internal organs and corpses flying Under the impact of hundreds of black bear warriors, they were just like pebbles thrown into the flood, but they splashed a little and were quickly swallowed up.
Overall, the Second Corps did not form much effective resistance, although the Black Bear Warriors were only a few hundred, but relying on the impact of the Black Bear's fury, they could easily collapse the defenses of the First Line of the Second Corps that had been temporarily gathered, and the latter could basically only be regarded as a massacre The garrison camp of the Second Corps was turned into a Shura field, full of screams and screams, and the soldiers of the Second Corps, who had collapsed, had no fighting spirit, and scattered like a swarm of headless flies, trampling each other, colliding, and then being easily killed by the black bear warriors who chased after them.
The black bear's sharp claws, as well as the bear's big axe of the Odin warrior on its back, are frantically harvesting life The chaos is unstoppable.
The assault of hundreds of black bear warriors completely crushed the courage of the Second Corps, and then, behind the first wave of raids of the Black Bear Warriors, a large number of Odin reindeer cavalry rushed out from behind the hillside in front of the station, and thousands of Odin reindeer cavalry easily poured into the barracks of the Second Corps from the gap in the fence wall, and then scattered violently, strangling the rout of the Second Corps everywhere On the hillside, a back figure quietly looked at the killing field in the distance, a pair of slender eyes, and the look was full of indifference.
This figure was not very tall, and even among the generally burly Odin, he was unusually thin and short, and such a physique was only average among the Byzantines.
But such a thin back, standing on the hillside, in the cold wind, a black cloak fluttering, but with a trace of awe-inspiring majesty, as if the owner of this back, standing at the bottom of the hillside, the thin body, but the earth under the mountain are trampled under the feet Behind the back, hundreds of Odin warriors stood there quietly, and the eyes of each Odin warrior looking at that back were full of fanatical worship.
"Blow the trumpet."
After looking at it for a while, this back figure turned around, his face was extremely mediocre, with thin lips and a flat nose, such a look, I was afraid that I would not be able to find it if I was casually thrown in the crowd.
But those eyes are thin and long, and the corners of the thin eyes are slightly raised, even with a slightly soft look.
The man's eyes were indifferent, as if without a trace of emotional fluctuations, and he gave orders in a deep voice.
As he spoke, he slowly walked to the subordinates behind him, and soon someone brought him a war horse, the body of the war horse was tall, two meters away, but a horse that was originally an abnormal horse, but there was a scar on the horse's head, which was cut directly on the left side of the horse's face, and the horse's left eye was also blinded.
The horse was covered with light armor, and the man turned over and got on his horse, took a three-edged spear from his hand, and gently pulled the reins, and the horse neighed, and the man stood up, and then spread his hooves, and galloped down the hillside, and ran straight to the barracks of the Second Corps At this moment, the barracks of the Second Corps had completely collapsed, and the last resistance was concentrated in the commander's camp where the Second Corps was stationed, and General Perizoli rushed to the rear as soon as the camp gate was breached, and he gathered all the personal guards and his lieutenant generals, and gathered about two hundred or so rebels in the melee.

In the midst of the chaos, two teams of reindeer cavalry and more than a dozen black bear berserkers took turns to charge three times, but this remnant army gathered the strongest personal guards in the second corps, as well as mid-level and even high-ranking samurai such as Perizzoli and several generals.
At this moment, everyone has understood that when it is time to fight to the death, the sword fighting spirit of several generals is shining, and they form a defensive circle to the death, stubbornly resisting the rush of the Odin, the defensive circle is constantly shrinking, and more than 200 soldiers are soon killed and wounded to less than 50 people.
General Perizoli's long sword had been cut and his armor had been torn, and there was a deep bone scar on his chest, left by the axe of a black bear berserker, who had killed six black bear berserkers and more than a dozen reindeer cavalrymen, and several of his generals were also killed and wounded, and the circle of defense was repeatedly reduced, and the ground was full of human corpses, horse corpses, and bear corpses, and broken flesh and blood could be seen everywhere.
Perizoli's face was pale, and he had lost too much blood, and the light of the fighting spirit on the blade of the sword had dimmed a lot.
Everyone knows that they will never be spared today, and at such a moment, the only ending is to fight hard.
With a scream, a general's long sword pierced into the body of a black bear, but under the violent power of the black bear, the sword was stuck in the bone, and continued to hit it frantically, the long sword broke instantly, and the black bear smashed the general's shoulder with a palm, and the Odin warrior above was about to swing an axe to harvest the head, and Perizoli's long sword roared down with a fighting spirit, and split a light blade that split the Odin man in half.
Perizoli gasped, his body unsteady on his feet, and he barely supported himself with his long sword.
There were a few more screams around him, and there were two more gaps in the circle of defense, he roared wildly, and suddenly a silver light flashed all over his body, his hair flew up, and in the midst of the heavy drinking, the long sword was shot out as usual, and suddenly turned into a ball of light and smashed it out everywhere, boom boom a few times, the light of the fighting spirit exploded and completely shrouded the distance of more than ten steps in front of him, and the dozen or so Odin reindeer cavalry on the left and right were smashed by the light group on the spot, and a black bear berserker was also directly smashed by the light group and flew backwards a few meters, when he landed, There was a huge bloody hole in the black bear's chest, the internal organs were shattered, and the upper body of the Odin warrior on the bear's back had disappeared "Come on, see who's going to harvest my Perizoli's head" Perizoli staggered, but he still straightened up and supported himself with his sword, his eyes were obscured by the blood flowing from the wound on his forehead, and there were still a few fragments of internal organs hanging on his body, where he stood on his feet, the ground was covered with a pool of blood, and blood was flowing down his legs.
Perizoli grinned wildly, his eyes were full of life, glaring fiercely at the enemy in front of him, he clearly couldn't even stand on his feet, but the fighting spirit on his body was still dazzling After all, he is the commander of the first corps, and he has the strength of a high-level samurai, and at this moment, he is desperately powerful, like a mad tiger, and the dozens of reindeer cavalry in the distance seem to be intimidated by his majesty, and they are a little hesitant At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, and a flying shadow leaped high, and the horse's hooves passed over the heads of the reindeer cavalry, and jumped ahead in one step The three-edged spear swept past with a whistling black aura like a tornado Two black aura were reflected in the pupils of Perizoli's eyes, and he screamed wildly, and the silver fighting aura all over his body shone brightly, and rushed forward against the black aura bang With a dull sound, in the black flame, Perizoli's body was directly cut off by the waist, and below his waist was instantly incinerated in the black flame, and even the blood that spurted out was instantly melted away by the black flame The half-cut short sword fell to the ground, clanged, and then quickly broke into several pieces The upper half of Perizoli's body fell to the ground, where his waist was broken, the internal organs and intestines had flowed out of the flesh and blood, the black blood in his mouth was frantically spilling out, and a pair of godless eyes stared at the opponent in front of him who was holding a black three-edged war spear like a dead fish.
"Black Hess" Unfortunately, he didn't finish pronouncing the name, and he stopped breathing.
Hastings stood on his horse, his slender eyes swept over the dead enemies on the ground, without a trace of emotional fluctuations, his eyes were still as cold as ashes, and with a slight wave of the war spear, there was no sound, and the flagpole next to him was cut off, and it collapsed with a bang, and the black aura rolled up, and in a moment, the flagpole and the flag were turned into ashes in this black rage Only then did this Odin Valkyrie turn his head and look coldly at the Odin warriors behind him.
"The order, the trumpet sounded three times, and when the trumpet stopped, if the enemy camp was not lowered, the whole army of the vanguard would be killed" Persecution, persecution, hard persecution, when that trembling fear arises in my heart, well, that's what it feels like Char held his head in thought, with a fire fork and a magic crystal in front of him, his eyes were bloodshot, and his mouth was like an idiot muttering something vaguely.
He stood up, stabbed twice with the fire fork, put it down again, frowned and thought for a moment, then screamed fiercely, and jumped up and slashed twice.
"Fool, control your heart, control your will, crimson fighting is not to make you really crazy, but to use that killing intent to stimulate that power" Char listened to the voice in his head, his face showed a wild laugh, laughing more and more crazy, suddenly jumped up, and scolded: "Control control, control me, control a ghost" He swung his fire fork like crazy and slashed left and right dozens of times, and finally exhausted his strength, and sat down on the ground with a thud, snorting and panting.
After waiting for a while, the madness on his face gradually faded, and he touched his face with a wry smile: "Damn, it's still not good?"
"How many times have I told you, it's not that you really go crazy, but try to control yourself, and control your calm consciousness at the critical point when you're about to go crazy, if you can do this, even if you have mastered this power."
Char closed his eyes, his brows couldn't stop twisting, and after a while, a violent expression gradually appeared on his face again, and his fingers kept trembling, as if he wanted to grab the fire fork several times and slash wildly, but he clenched his fists tightly, the green tendons on the back of his hands burst out, and the joints were white, Char's body trembled as if he was suffering from a cold disease, the muscles on his face kept trembling, and the corners of his eyes jumped around Finally, he took a deep breath, and although his whole body was still trembling, he slowly stood up, his movements slow and heavy.
The eyelids slowly opened, and the eyes had completely turned red Char's eyes flashed with fierceness and clarity, and finally stopped changing, and his eyes gradually calmed down, but this seemingly calm look matched with red eyes, which looked particularly weird.
He gritted his teeth, his arm still shaking, but he gently grasped the fire fork, then took a deep breath and slowly slashed ahead About five paces in front of him, a wooden stake about the thickness of a thigh silently split in half Char stood on the spot, the trembling of his body gradually subsided, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, obviously he was trying his best to endure just now, gritting his teeth hard, and his gums were squeezed out of blood The red in his eyes faded quickly, Char looked at the fire fork in his hand, and then at the broken wooden stake in front of him, walked over and looked, the cut was surprisingly smooth Char swallowed and spit, and then suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha is done, that's it" But then he furrowed his brows: "But it seems to be much less powerful, and it seems that the kind of red light that appeared just now also appeared in the previous two times."
The voice in my head sounded, "That's right."
Although the power is a little smaller, that's because there is only so much power you can control at this stage.
If you blindly let the madness occupy your consciousness, you may be able to burst out with a more powerful red light, but your consciousness will also become crazy and lose consciousness.
Unless you're an idiot, don't you understand that when you're fighting, if you lose your consciousness and fight randomly, even if you have a powerful killing move, you will be dead when you encounter a really powerful enemy. ” Char blinked his eyes: "Well, I understand this, it's like a drunk man slashing with a big knife, although the power is amazing, it is enough to deal with ordinary people, but when encountering a powerful opponent, the other party can find a lot of weaknesses" "You're stupid, but you're not too idiot."
"I'm sorry," Char spat out the bloody spit dissatisfiedly: "Don't think that if you are a dragon, you can scold Lao Tzu casually, now you are just a ghost."
I'm in a hurry, I" "How about you," the voice said coldly, mockingly, "kill me, if you want to kill me, unless you chop this stone to pieces."
But this crimson murderous aura, in order to trigger it, you must have this magic crystal with your soul mark, are you willing to do it?"
Char was speechless.
He just found a little knock on the door, tasted a little sweetness, this crimson murderous aura is powerful, if he hasn't learned it, forget it, but now it's already a beginner, if he wants to break the stone and give up this trick, he is absolutely reluctant in his heart.
The turtle didn't speak, and the dragon's voice seemed to sigh.
"Humans, how about we make a deal" "Transaction" "The Red Sunrise" On the slope of the valley, Ke Kelan stretched casually, and the morning sun shone on his body, although it was winter, there was still a faint warmth.
"Alas, it's better to be here, in Odin, in a season like this, people may freeze to death in the morning."
Ke Kelan shook his cloak casually, and looked up at the blood-red Chaoxia again, a strange brilliance flashed in his eyes: "Such a blood-colored Chaoxia, it seems that he has experienced a killing in the east this morning" He lowered his head and thought about it, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Hasting, have you won another battle Odin Valkyrie, hum, you have added another stroke to your brilliant record."
Alas, alas, the glory dyed red with blood is, after all, " This noble man of Odin smiled freely: "After all, it is ominous." ” As he spoke, he turned and walked down the hillside, looking at the trembling squires standing at the bottom of the hillside.
"Well, is there any movement in the 13th Corps?"
"No, there is no Your Highness, they retreated, as if they had no intention of attacking again."
Ke Kelan smiled with satisfaction, walked over and patted the squire on the shoulder, and the other party immediately knelt down in flattery.
"Alright, don't be nervous and let the warriors get some rest, at least until tomorrow night, the Byzantines won't be moving.
Take the time to enjoy the last peace.
The smile on Ke Kelan's face became stronger, but the eyes were cold.
He looked back at the blood-colored sky "Alas, such a beautiful morning glow, I really want to listen to the music of the harp."
After a pause, he laughed and said, "Someone." ” "Your Highness" "Well, go, find me a harp, Your Highness wants to play a song" The people below stared at each other.
Although I am used to serving this strange-tempered highness, but, but But some of His Highness's sometimes messy orders are really maddening "You've got my dragon scales, but without the magic of the dragons, the dragon scales are just a slightly stiffer piece of armor in your hands.
But I, the remnants of my soul, still carry the magic of the dragon attribute, and I can inject magic into the dragon scales to increase its magic resistance.
Also, the long life of the dragon clan has accumulated a lot of advanced knowledge, do you want to learn the dragon clan's tactics and martial arts, I can even teach you some dragon spells, as long as I leave my soul imprint in your magic crystal, then you can use this magic crystal as a conductor in the future, cast a small part of the dragon spell magic, although it is only a little, but it is all real dragon spell magic, and I can tell you the mystery of life, including how to use the power of the soul, whether it is any life, a low-level human or a high-level dragon like us, The power of the soul is far greater than the power of the body, and even in the face of death, as long as you learn this method, you can keep the soul immortal, and there is always a chance to find a suitable physical resurrection."
There was no trace of excitement on the turtle's face, but his eyes were full of vigilance.

"Damn, what you said is so moving, if you want Lao Tzu to do something for you, say it first, play with your life, you don't open your mouth.
Uncle, I'm living a very moist life. ”:
