North, windy hills.The barracks made of heavy and sturdy northern stone camphor wood stretched along the mountain, as if ploughing a dark ravine in the snow, and the soldiers wearing the unique "winter wolf" armor of the Northern Legion ran between the barracks, reinforcing the newly established camp like busy worker ants.Above the camp, a shimmering magical shield is taking shape, and Magus from Icewind Dale are working overtime to erect enchantment pillars throughout the camp in an effort to complete the magical barrier before the blizzard falls.This is the elite army of the six northern provinces, the empire's proudest northern legion, until half a month ago it was a strong barrier in the north of Dragon, blocking the evil invasion from the abyss of Gorgon in the far north for the empire, but at this moment they have set up a new camp far away from their original defense line, sword guide, ready to attack the imperial capital.A figure in heavy black steel armor came to the hillside, looking down at the barracks below and the busy officers and soldiers in the barracks, although this figure in armor was imposing and quite tall, but the armor specially made according to the wearer's figure still made the commander's limbs obviously much more slender than the average male soldier, and the circle of rose lace on his cloak seemed to hint at the true gender of the person wearing the armor.The sound of creaking snow came from behind him, and an old general with gray hair also came to the hillside, the old general's face was like a lion, and he was barearm in the wind and snow, and his body was so strong that people almost wondered if he had barbarian blood, he stopped behind the black-armored figure, and said in a respectful tone: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you should go back and rest, the blizzard is coming soon." ”The black-armored figure did not look back, from the dark and heavy helmet Grand Duke, what do you think of this war?
”The old general looked into the distance, which was the direction of the imperial capital: "From the day the Northern Legion was formed, we only had these two missions, to block the Gorgon Abyss, and to complete the replacement of the era - Your Majesty gave us this mission, and you led us to complete this mission, this is the meaning of the existence of the Northern Legion." ”Constance Dragons shook her head, her armor grinding, "Aside from the sense of mission, what do you think of this war itself?"
Our Victory, the Future of the Empire, and ......
The consequences of this war. ”"The warriors of the north can fight against the erosion of the Gorgon's abyss in ice and fire, we don't have those mechanical swords, we don't have ancient inheritance, we rely only on the will and bravery that have been tempered thousands of times, and the generals' brains that have not been completely frozen," the old general known as the Grand Duke of Owen laughed, "I think the Northern Legion is enough to fight against the Black Sword Knights, and we have your Broken Sword Knights, and the chances of victory are already on our side."
As for the consequences of this war......"
The old general was silent for a moment: "Your Royal Highness Princess, many things are doomed. ”Constance's visor.Farther north, a faint red line jumped between heaven and earth, and the sky around the red line showed faint signs of distortion, as if a powerful force was entrenched there, waiting to invade the world."
The Gorgonne Abyss has responded to us, it will be silent for two years, and in two years, we must end this war.""
The warriors of the north will not disappoint you, Your Highness."
Constance nodded slightly, retracting her gaze slightly towards the Gorgon's Abyss, and she saw that at the edge of the Windy Hills, a new blizzard was slowly taking shape.She took off her helmet, and her long black hair flew up in the northern wind and snow, and the oncoming snowflakes and cold wind made the princess with a resolute face and deep eyes can't help but squint her eyes, and an old and empty voice echoed in her heart: "There is no eternity in the dynasty, the gods will die, the Holy Spirit will die, the sages and dragons will die, we don't know the beginning of it all, but we can see that bleak future, in that future, the world sinks in the eternal night, and everything turns to ashes in the smoldering fire, All great souls can only witness this end in a feeble wail, and are torn apart with the whole world.Those who are ignorant of this are fortunate that in their limited life and cognition, the world is full of light and peace, except for the years of chaos in life, most people can enjoy a life of peace, but the eternal must bear the pain of facing the truth, which is the price of eternal life. ”Constance stepped forward and walked in the direction of the camp."
Father, please wait a while, I will go and inherit your throne."…… The black pine forest did change a little – but depending on the observer, it is likely that the so-called change is simply revealing the truth.The convoy was moving on a forest road that no one had ever set foot on, and the neat petrified lampposts and black pine trees on both sides of the road kept backing as the vehicles moved, and at this moment the three caravans were switched shapes, and the carriage guards were lowered to form a circle of low bunkers, and the occupants sat inside the bunkers to observe the outside world, which helped to take in all the wind and grass in the woods - all three cars relied on shield generators to provide protection anyway, and lowering the carriages would not affect much protection.The third caravan, which had been at the end of the line, was now moved to the front of the line and became the lead caravan.Leah lay at the front of the caravan, staring wide-eyed at the marvelous forest, the fog and confusion of time and space that made no sense before her eyes, and which was bringing out its truest face."
I'm sure we're on the real black pine forest road, and that's what it should be—and the forks and paths that you know are the ones that explorers have discovered," Hao Ren said to Charlemagne and Evenna, "I can also make a bold guess that for many years, explorers have only gone around in circles in the gap between reality and fiction on the periphery of the black pine forest, and people think that they have crossed the black pine forest through the forest road, but in fact they may have passed through some kind of spatial passage.
Or maybe you were deeply hypnotized while walking around the perimeter of the forest - the real scene inside the forest was never seen. ”Avanna was already surprised and didn't know what to say, she looked around with wide eyes, and then looked at Leah, who was lying in front of the car: "This assumption is really appalling......
Who the hell is this little girl?
Why are you so confident?
”Leah shouted without looking back, "Don't call me a little girl, I'm more than you!"
”"Her identity is a bit complicated to explain, but she has a magical ability to see who......
No, she sees through everything," Hao Ren explained perfunctorily, "She can see through all the vanity in the world, so it is because she is in the team that we can enter this area that no one has ever set foot in." ”"Your World Tree Temple......
What kind of organization is it?
”Charlemagne hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking.Hao Ren thought for a moment: "It's basically to save the world." ”"Well, it's me who overstepped, please don't mind."“…… I mean seriously!
”Here, Hao Renzheng emphasized that he was a sincere person, and Lily next to him suddenly poked his arm again: "Landlord, landlord, look over there—it has appeared again." ”Hao Ren looked in the direction of Lily's finger, and suddenly saw several vague figures suddenly condensed in the mist behind the side of the convoy, and those figures shook twice, and then became no different from real people - they were several "phantoms" dressed in civilian clothes, with golden-red pupils, silver-like hair, and a height of two meters, they were both men and women, just like ordinary people walking in the forest, chatting and slowly walking into the distant fog, and their conversation was faintly heard:" The army has been moving around a lot lately. ”"I heard that there is a war on the border......
"The imam has been going to the Great Temple a lot lately, will it be ......?"
"The Council of the Seven Kings is about to be held, I really don't want any chaos at this time."
The apparitions vanished, and Vivien frowned slightly, "It's the seventh time, and this time there will be a meeting of the Seven Kings." ”From the moment the convoy moved deeper into the black pine forest, those apparitions had appeared more than once.And its content also varies.The first time, Hao Ren and the others saw soldiers fighting the outbreak of pollution monsters on the road, the second time, they saw a group of scarred refugees retreating under the cover of soldiers, the third time, they saw a group of prisoners being escorted into the forest, but the fourth time they saw a group of simplely dressed craftsmen gathering at the intersection, pointing at the forest, as if planning some kind of construction project......
So far, it's the seventh time.The appearance of the apparitions is irregular, and it does not seem to follow a chronological arrangement, sometimes it appears as refugees in times of national crisis, and sometimes it appears as pioneers in the wilderness.Leah had initially speculated that the apparitions were "another possibility that the world had not yet realized", but now that speculation had largely been dismissed, Haoren suspected that what was presented in the black pine forest was actually a history of the "Old World", a history that even Leah had never seen.It was supposed to be a memory of the past, but for some unknown reason it became a "false world", and Hao Ren speculated that this so-called unknown reason was the destruction and rebirth that Rahrion had experienced.There is only one thing that cannot be explained - this world was reborn under the influence of Leah's dream, what part of the process went wrong that caused such a "remnant of the old world" to be preserved and appear in this world in the form of a black pine forest?
Looking at the dark and dreary trees around her, Avena was a little uneasy: "We......
Are you really on the right track?
”As if in response to her, Leah, who was lying in front of the carriage, suddenly patted the cover of the carriage and pointed to the fork in the road: "Ahead, to the left." ”"Trust her judgment," Hao Ren said with a smile, "her intuition and true vision can lead us to the truth of this forest." ”Avanna was about to cry: "But we don't want to find the truth about this forest - we want to get out quickly......"
Hao Ren's face did not change: "Oh, then her intuition and true vision can take us out of this forest." ”Avenna's heart suddenly turned discouraged, and she felt that the group of chattering guys in front of her probably didn't plan to go out......
And at this moment, Vivien suddenly raised her head and shrugged her nose: "I seem to smell ......
There was a bloody gas. ”
