It has been three days since that sudden and vicious battle.The towering walls of the Crow Fortress stood silently in the night sky, and this strong fortress made of black granite had experienced unimaginable and tragic battles, and even the Fortress General could not believe that the fortress could still stand on the ground after the storm - the Chaos Storm and the monsters that came with it almost completely destroyed all the forward towers and order rune stones outside the fortress, and the original layers of orderly defense outside the Crow Fortress were gone.
The outer defense line of the high walls and huge rocks is now only a gray-black shattered gravel, and even the walls of the fortress itself are full of devastation, with huge cracks everywhere and even holes that have been penetrated.Maybe you don't have to wait for the next storm, even just a wave of wandering Chaos monsters will be enough to bring down the dark fortress in an instant.Philip tightened his cotton coat and looked back at the towering upper fortress of the Crow Fortress, which in the foggy night sky looked like a spiraling volcano, with layers of granite walls and large and small towers forming the cliff walls of the mountain, and the fires that shook between the walls and towers were like lava flowing along the mountain.On the top floor of the fortress, the light of the Tower of Flames reached the sky like a white tower that penetrated the sky, and a barrier poured down from the top of the "White Tower", enveloping the entire fortress.While it still looks bright, the light of order in the Tower of Flames is no longer as bright as it once was.The Tower of Flames had been traumatized by the previous Chaos Storm, the tower's power core was overloaded due to an overwhelmed clash of laws, and while the mages had scrambled to repair the most important equipment, they were unable to fully restore the tower to its best condition, and for a fortress facing the enemy head-on on the border of Chaos, the weakening of the Light of Order meant that everything was headed for the worst: the Crow's fortress's defenses were almost halved.But these things are far away for Philip, as an ordinary squad leader, he is only a little higher than the soldiers under his command, and knows a little more, but he is essentially a vulgar soldier from the kingdom and has never seen much of the world, he knows nothing about the mysterious magic field, he only knows that the battle three days ago was the worst battle he has ever experienced, and many people who are better than him have died on the battlefield outside the city, The soldiers guarding the city walls were also carried to the back in batches, and if he wasn't lucky enough, he himself would have become a corpse in those cold tombs.If it weren't for the fact that years of military life had made this veteran a little numb to the matter of life and death, I am afraid it would be difficult for him to muster up the courage to come to this section of the city wall.Philip tightened his padded coat again, as if it was no longer enough to protect him from the cold wind of the night—it was hard to imagine that only a few days ago, it was the heat of summer and it would have been sweaty to stand guard on the walls, but now the inside and outside of the fortress were dripping with ice, and it was already winter.This is the power of Chaos: the storm hits and changes the climate in the area almost immediately, from midsummer to cold winter in only two or three hours, after which the defenders of the Crow Fortress have experienced thunderstorms, hailstorms, and blizzards, if you put it in the first two or three years of the Chaos War, I am afraid that just such a crazy weather change can kill some unlucky people."
Boss, it looks like it's going to be dawn, right?
Why don't we stop here?
”The voice of one of his men reactivated Philip's frozen brain, and he turned his head to see one of his soldiers looking up at the horizon, where a faint glimmer of light could already be seen."
Don't get distracted, there's still a while," Philip scolded, "don't think about being lazy, if the monster really comes at this time, you won't be able to confess to your ancestors if you die." ”The soldier was reprimanded, and quickly bowed his head in agreement, but Philip also knew not to be too harsh: the hell weather was unbearable, and the night of patrol was too exhausting.But he knew that monsters attacked the city day and night, and those mongrels that emerged from the chaos would not give you a chance to be lazy, so the veteran still cheered up and carefully watched the movement outside the city walls.The cold wind whirled across the plain in front of the Crow Fortress, rolling up a few broken banners and some dust, and Philip recognized one of the banners as that of the Second Brigade of the Blackblade Legion, which he knew had been wiped out in the battle three days earlier—more than two thousand warriors stood in front of the tidal monsters in order to give the other brigades a chance to retreat, and Philip watched on the walls as they were swallowed up, and the human limbs were dissolved by the darkness like cream in a hot soup.That retreat kept most of the main force of the Blackblade Legion and kept the fortress's combat effectiveness from being lost too much at one time, but it also caused the chaos monsters to rush into the order barrier of the Black Crow Fortress in advance, laying a hidden danger for the overload of the Tower of Fire."
Chief, I heard from those mages that it was a Chaos Storm a few days ago, and I heard that the storm was blowing in from the border of the continent, and it was completely destroyed from the Sea of Karnos, and it became a land of chaos.""
I still don't know?"
Philip glanced at his subordinate and said lukewarmly, he didn't like the other party to bring up this topic, because until now, he shuddered when he recalled the scene three days ago: darkness and storms came from the southern sky, as if a huge black wave thousands of meters high and boundless on both sides rumbled in front of him, and in the blink of an eye, the sky and the earth were dark, the wind was fierce, the sirens sounded throughout the fortress, and countless hideous monsters emerged from the air and swooped down on the city walls......
And that battle was a whole day and a night.The mages called it "Storm's Arrow", meaning that there would be more chaos to come, perhaps not as desperately violent as the first day, but definitely taking more lives.Philip was reluctant to talk much, but a few of his veterans could not sit idle, and soon they were talking about other topics."
Hey, have you heard, didn't you say a while ago that a group of demonic beasts suddenly appeared in the forests in the south - a very large group.""
Ah, I've heard about it too, what's the matter?""
It is said that that group of demonic beasts is not ordinary, there are all races in it, and they are coming towards us.""
What races?
And they don't have their own brains?
”"Or it's strange, that group of demonic beasts seems to be organized, and it is said that there is a particularly powerful ......
The leader of the monster called the head wolf unified them. ”"Hey, that sounds amazing, could it be a big wolf as tall as a hill?""
I heard that yes, a three-thousand-five-year-old forest demon wolf has three heads, one tooth is half a meter long, and one claw can collapse the house......
"Hey, what's the use of saying this, look at the south - chaos is coming, no matter how powerful the head wolf is, it is also a magical beast, it doesn't have an order holy weapon, at this time, most of those magical beasts have been completely destroyed by chaos."
Philip did not stop his men from chatting at this moment, for he had already seen that the sun on the horizon was about to leap out of the ground, and that the night's duty was coming to an end, and at this time, it was understandable for the soldiers to relax a little, as long as no one left their posts.He didn't know that the "Monster Leader" who was "three thousand five hundred years old", "with three heads" and "one tooth half a meter long" in the mouths of the soldiers was happily leading an army that could be called a beast tide to approach the border of civilization at this time, and he didn't know that in the next moment, a new round of attacks by the Chaos Storm was about to begin.One of the first sentinels to notice the anomaly looked up in the direction of the Black Forest, and when a huge black shadow appeared in the sentry's sight, he first rubbed his eyes, and then realized that the shadow was not an illusion caused by a night of sleep—it actually appeared, like a thick smoke rising from the forest, and the pillar of smoke swirled out of the forest, approaching the crow fortress at an unnatural speed, and on the pillar of smoke, countless shadowy monsters could be seen rapidly forming.The sentry opened his mouth, only to react after two seconds: "......
Chaos strikes!!
”The deafening sound of sirens instantly resounded throughout the fortress, and every bell tower of the Crow Fortress began to ring wildly, the protective runes on the surface of the walls and watchtowers were lit one by one, and the shouts of the knights and the orders of the commanders came from all corners, followed by the sound of heavy footsteps and armor clashing in patches.The heavy iron fence gates on the upper level of the fortress were also lowered, and the griffon cavalry who were still intact flew out of the iron gates one by one, circling around the dark fortress to keep watch, and then the wizarding tower also began to operate, arcs of light shot from the wizarding tower to the battlements, the magic crystal cannon received an energy supply, and the focusing crystal began to bloom bright white light on the city wall.Outside the Crow Fortress, black smoke was accumulating.Black smoke and dust, this is the manifestation of the chaotic power in the southern realm of the kingdom.As the first bird-like monster condensed from the black smoke and screamed at the walls, Philip spat and cursed every vulgar word he could think of, before drawing his weapon and meeting it.
