Chapter 1272 The Army

History records the abnormal chaotic tide that occurred in the southern realm of Talos:

The storm formed from the edge of the continent. The dark side of the Sea of ​​Karnos surged in the endless abyss and broke through the boundaries of the world of order. The first wave of energy surged from the south of the Black Forest to the north, destroying everything along the way. The land, the forest twisted and withered, the earth rotted and poisoned, the climate was imbalanced, and the stars dispersed. In the face of the unprecedented power of chaos, the outposts and villages set up by the kingdom between the black forest and the buffer zone were reduced to death almost overnight. There was no time to get word of the storm back to the fortress.

In the first attack, Black Crow Fortress experienced a day and night of deadly fighting. Due to the failure to receive early warning, the warriors of the kingdom suffered heavy losses. Before the rune barrier and order barrier were raised, the knights could only fight with their flesh and blood. The golden battle flag stood up to face the enemy, and all members of the Black Blade Legion's second battalion died on the defensive line, with no one retreating; the Black Crow Guard's third and fourth battalions resisted the Chaos Storm's air strikes on the city wall, and even after the barrier was lit and more than half of their number were reduced, they were still No one retreated; Count Donald, the supreme commander of the Crow Guard, died fighting on the city wall and refused to retreat until his death.

The first storm finally subsided after a day and night.

Three days later, the second round of attacks arrived...

The huge pillar of black and dirty smoke rushed across the ground like a tornado. A dozen such tornadoes almost plowed the entire land outside the castle. All the traces left on the battlefield three days ago were there. In the blink of an eye, it was shuffled and swallowed by these chaotic forces, and torn into finer gravel. Smoke and dust filled the air between the wind pillars, tearing out strands of black strips, flying in the air like the banners of the Chaos Legion. Under these banners, endless monsters were swarming towards the tower that was tenaciously supported in the darkness. The bright beacon of the Black Crow Citadel.

The Tower of Fire emits brilliant white light, and a barrier formed by the power of order hangs over the Black Crow Fortress, while powerful sacred runes are wandering on every stone brick of the city wall. These holy things can prevent the breath of chaos from invading the city. , but could not stop those irrational monsters from launching suicidal attacks on the fortress over and over again. The monsters condensed from the smoke and dust have no blood, no tears, and no emotions. They are neither afraid of pain nor death. Only their deep-seated hatred for the world of order keeps them rushing forward, and they explode on the outer wall of the Black Crow Fortress in waves. into a huge black flower.

With a piercing scream, a huge strange bird that looked like a skeleton emerged from the darkness, and then slammed into the order barrier outside the city wall. Half of its body was burned to pieces by the sacred power almost instantly. But its remaining body still emitted a ball of dark energy, and a huge explosion occurred outside the barrier. Immediately afterwards, more monsters collided at the same location. Some of them only used self-destruction to weaken the barrier, while others condensed all their energy into more powerful and effective magic attacks before the collision: formed by pure raw magic energy. The Arrow of Chaos is equivalent to a spell of level six or above among human wizards. The full blow of an intermediate wizard is thrown down here as if it is free. The white light patterns on the barrier became dim at a speed visible to the naked eye under the continuous impact, and the originally orderly energy flow began to become disordered. While all this was happening, the surveillance mage on a nearby sentry tower had already used resonance to The voice issued a warning:

"Team 3! In the front left corner of the area, 7-5A, the weak point appears!"

The warning sound can only be heard by soldiers in a specific area. Those soldiers who did not receive the order continued to fight in other areas, while the soldiers who received the order ran quickly towards the weak point.

After a while, a loophole appeared, and monsters filled with black smoke and poisonous mist poured onto the city wall through this loophole.

They were instantly washed away by the force field of order, and their whole bodies disintegrated into primitive energy at an alarming speed. However, before they were completely dissipated, they would cause irreparable major damage to the city wall.

Philip and his soldiers met him.

The feeling of the enchanted two-handed sword slashing at the monster was transmitted back to the wrist along with the repulsion of the sword body, making the veteran's arm feel numb. It was not the feeling of cutting into a flesh and blood body, but more like cutting into a hard piece. Wood or even stone, only the corpse of the monster that twitched and turned to ashes in front of him gave people some sense of reality, which could prove that the attack just now was indeed effective. At the same time that the first monster fell, two more long swords passed behind him and knocked the other two monsters away.

Phillip wiped the blood and sweat from his forehead. The battle continued until now, and he was no longer sure where his wounds were. Only the cut on his forehead still reminded him all the time. The veteran nodded to his subordinates, raised his hand and made a few quick gestures - years of cooperation and strict training meant that they did not need too many words. In this battle against time, they only needed some eye contact and gestures to communicate, and everyone would Everyone knows what to do.

The soldiers flew forward, formed a small defensive formation around them, and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the monsters that kept pouring in from the cracks.

Philip waved his sword with both hands and chopped away a humanoid monster that jumped towards him. He saw his subordinates from the corner of his eyes and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

One person is missing - little Alunike lies on the cold city wall forever.

And just when he was distracted, Philip felt a burning sensation on his shoulders. He subconsciously turned his head, and a black shadow flew past his cheek: this sneak attack almost cut off half of his head.

The veteran quickly adjusted his center, stepped sideways, turned around, and used the heavy inertia of his two-handed sword to draw a large semicircle in the air, slashing heavily on a monster that looked like a giant bear.

A faint white light shone on the blade of the two-handed sword, and the "giant bear" staggered. Then a soldier next to him stepped forward and finally ended the monster.

The sword in his hand weighs as much as a thousand pounds.

Phillip was breathing heavily. He felt as if the wound on his shoulder was on fire. His strength was constantly draining away from there, making the weapon in his hand heavier every second. The veteran shook his head, vaguely feeling that it might be difficult for him to walk down this section of the city wall today.

He looked up into the air - the crack in the barrier had begun to close. The self-healing capabilities of the rune barrier and the order barrier would gradually make up for the holes knocked out by the chaos monster. It probably wouldn't take a while before this place would be transformed again. It is safe. Monsters will not be able to enter the Black Crow Fortress through this loophole for a short period of time.

But before the whole battle is over, there will definitely not be just one crack here.

The remaining monsters on the city wall were being eliminated by the soldiers. Philip dragged his sword on the ground and recovered as much strength as possible. He understood that as long as he could recover a little more strength at this time, he would have one more chance to survive. to the end of the battle.

He is not one of those capable ministers and generals who strategize, nor is he a hero who can turn things around on the battlefield. He is just a soldier, a veteran who is more senior than ordinary soldiers. He does not understand the righteousness of family and country and the rise and fall of civilization. What he can do , all they know is life and death on the battlefield. At this moment, he uses all his experience and knowledge to survive as much as possible until the next battle. This is all he can do as a veteran.

An ordinary person living in Kolo's world.

Philip took out the emergency wound medicine distributed by the Black Crow Guard to every frontline soldier from his arms, poured half of the remaining medicine into his mouth, and poured the other half directly onto his own wound. The stimulation brought by the cheap potion made his throat and wounds sting at the same time, but most of the pain disappeared in an instant. This does not mean that the wound has really been healed - in fact, the healing effect of this medicine on the wound can only be said to be average. Its biggest function is to relieve pain and boost the spirit. However, for frontline soldiers, these two effects are enough. It's so precious.

Throwing away the medicine bottle, the veteran stood up and looked into the distance.

The black smoke outside the fortress showed no sign of dissipating. The power of chaos was coming fiercely. A new storm was taking shape over the wilderness outside the castle. Monsters poured out of the black smoke column continuously, as if they were endless.

There was a little bit of sunshine before, but now it has completely disappeared.

The power of Chaos has once again occupied the sky, and the power of the sun "Uro" is obscured by darkness. Unless Chaos retreats, it will probably not appear in the South again for a long time.

Phillip spat, muttered something under his breath, and was about to turn around, but the moment he turned his head, a glimmer of light appeared in the sky and stopped him in his tracks.

The veteran froze on the spot, staring at the end of the horizon as if possessed. In his dull sight, the light was getting brighter and brighter, getting closer and closer.

It's like the sun is rising.

Philip had a ridiculous idea for a moment: Could it be that the power of chaos will retreat so soon? Did the sun "Uro" retake the sky so quickly?

But he soon realized that he was wrong. The light was not sunlight at all. It did not come from the sky, but from the ground.

A powerful light source like a small sun is dispelling the darkness, and under that light source, countless shadowy things are emerging on the earth.

That is a boundless monster.

Almost everyone in Black Crow Fortress who was paying attention to the battlefield saw this scene.

It is like a tide, boundless and uncountable. Human beings will probably spend their entire lives unable to realize that there are so many diverse sub-race creatures beyond the borders of civilized countries, such as lizardmen, cavemen, demon wolves, demon apes, furbolgs, and goblins. Lin, dwarf demons...even elemental creatures, shadow creatures, undead, ancient beasts...and even more that can't even be named. Even if you see a silhouette from a distance, it will make people feel ferocious and terrifying. Behemoth.

The commander-in-chief of Black Crow Fortress was stunned. He saw a black tide rushing towards his castle, as if swallowing the world.

The mentor of the wizard army accidentally broke his crystal ball. He saw a giant python burning with raging flames crawling on the ground. Several fire element lords as tall as a city tower led a sea of ​​​​fire and moved forward in a mighty manner— —It was a grand occasion when hundreds of fire elements gathered together.

The leader of the Griffin Knights almost fell off his mount. He saw a black dragon hovering above the tide. The powerful epic creature was actually guarding the team.

The beast tide is still advancing, as if it doesn't care about the chaotic storm ahead.

He didn't care about the Black Crow Fortress blocking the road.

Miss Husky stood majestically on the head of the ancient earth dragon, directing her team to move forward and continue to move forward.

She's super happy now - as if she's found a landlord.
