Chapter 4: The Stalemate Battlefield

"I'll be there shortly."

Closing the small communication circle like a crystal ball in his hand, Joshua raised his head and took a deep breath, his hard-contoured face without any expression.

He looked around at the snow-covered slopes in front of him, with only a few pale rocks exposed, and then turned sideways to the silver-haired girl who was hugging his waist behind him and said, "Hotaru, I'll give you a mission." ”

"Yes, master."

Without hesitation, Hotaru immediately nodded in agreement, but there was a puzzled look in her green eyes: "But, what task?" ”

"You should know the way."

Dismounting, Joshua walked between the wide snowfields, the wind from the north whistling in his ears with a chill, the bone-chilling chill soaked his body, but was expelled by the gradually burning red light: "Take black to the Black Forest fortress as fast as possible, the distance is not far, about an hour." ”

"That'...... Master, you? ”

Taking the reins of the black war horse under him, the silver-haired god machine didn't seem to understand why, and asked blankly: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Me?"

This problem is really levelless.

Taking out the model of the sword and armor from his waist, and then reciting the secret words, the black-haired and red-eyed warrior was suddenly covered with a burst of glow, and in an instant, the light of the magic power dissipated, and was wrapped in heavy armor all over the body, and the man holding the giant sword stood on the white snow, he raised his left hand, covered by iron armor, and his five fingers were as heavy and powerful as iron pincers opened, and then he clenched again, making a metal squeak.

The black ribbed, quaint Gothic armor seems to be unpretentious, but full of heavy majesty, faint lines on the tips of the shoulders form two winged relief of the dead crow, on the cold and heavy helmet, there are two red points of light in a V-shaped gap.

Although the voice was a little muffled by the helmet, Joshua's voice reached the ears of the Divine Maiden.

"Sweeping the garbage, of course."

"Boom!"

Red fighting qi poured out from the depths of his body, and the snow was blown away, revealing the black earth and solid rock beneath it, and the gravitational force was broken free in an instant, and the warrior in the black Maximilian heavy armor rose into the air, and he was shrouded in blood and looked in the direction of the Black Forest fortress, revealing a sneer.

The Golden Behemoth? Tide of Wild Beasts?

In the face of him, they are all vulnerable.

- Black Forest Fortress.

When the masked warrior, Kili Ouranos, awoke from a brief stupor, he was greeted by a smoky fortress and a cold weapon.

The magic of chaos called for wind and snow, gray clouds slowly appeared in the sky, palm-sized snowflakes swirled on the battlefield, and the scream of the wind mixed with thunderous war cries poured into the man's ears together, making his chaotic spirit quickly return to normal and become more sober than ever.

"I'm still alive......"

With a muffled voice and a hint of a smile, Keeli struggled to his feet, his steel spear in his hand, adjusting to his wounded body, and standing on top of the frost-covered wall.

What happened before?

This question appeared in his mind and was answered by the warrior's own memory.

“…… When I stopped the giant beast, I was beaten and flew away, and I was still alive, which can be regarded as good luck......"

The internal organs ached faintly, the gray pupils of the warriors looked around, the war was still going on, on the battlefield wrapped in purple mist, the smoke caused by the roar of artillery rose to the sky, the fluctuations of magic power exploded all the time, the earth shook violently, but the sound of killing resounded in the sky drowned out all the noise.

"Listen to all orders!"

Suddenly, a tough and heroic command sounded in front of him, breaking through the chaotic and noisy battlefield.

"Enchanted archers, mages, siege crossbows, artillery in turn, aim-cover shooting !!"

"Yes!"

Scattered and scattered, but the echoes could also be heard clearly, and a few seconds later, a rain of black arrows swept through the sky with a buzzing sound, and various spells either raised rock spikes and shook the atmosphere, or ignited molten fires and called for ice, all of them hit the dense tumultuous and tumbling beasts beneath the city walls, causing a huge commotion and casualties.

Immediately after that, there was a slight tremor from the crossbow shot of the enchanted bed and the roar of the artillery, and countless huge cavities appeared in the chaotic beast tide in an instant, and the violent explosion brought a scorching shock wave, melting the surrounding ice and snow, and the fiery steam was diffuse, and the black and purple dust blended together, extremely turbid.

But the beast tide did not retreat in the slightest, ignoring the death of the 'companion', these monsters continued to spread their fangs, stretched their claws, and rushed towards the fortress with sticky and smelly saliva, they attacked the city walls, crushed the rocks with their claws, and climbed upwards little by little, and the latecomers followed in the footsteps of the former, advancing rapidly.

The few demonic beasts with the ability to breathe did not charge blindly, they stayed in place, gathered the magic power around them, and then spewed out pillars of light of various colors, bombarding the walls and towers of the fortress, accompanied by a wave of shaking, smoke and dust rising, and rubble falling.

"Hmm-"

A thunderous burst of lightning blue breath shot in the direction of the masked warrior, and Killy hurriedly turned to dodge, but his wounded body still hindered his movement, and a hot beam of light grazed his head in a thrilling way, dissolving the steel spear at his side.

The black iron barrel instantly turned red, and immediately let go of the weapon in his hand, and the warrior angrily turned his head to look for the demonic beast that attacked him, but he unexpectedly felt a coolness on his face, and after a while, he realized that the masked helmet on his face had been shot down.

"It's a nuisance." The long dark cyan hair fluttered in the air, and the ears trembled slightly compared to humans, Killy gathered his hair and simply tied up a ponytail, the handsome face of this half-elf warrior had countless tattoos engraved with the blood of Warcraft, and there was a blue lightning flowing on it, he frowned and said, "Actually use the power of thunder and lightning to deal with me?" Amusing. ”

But now is not the time to deal with any of the most mid-level Demonic Beasts that are only Silver Intermediate and can't even break through his demonic defenses, he has more important things to do.

Picking up a straight sword left behind by a warrior from the ground, Keeley looked around the battlefield again, this time finally finding his target.

It was a battlefield on the other side of the city wall, the blonde knight and the white-haired mage joined forces, with the long-range attacks supported by the fortress tower and the mad beast entangled, the huge monster that had lost its wisdom and judgment, although it had a huge strength of gold level, was tightly entangled by these two experienced silver pinnacles, unable to continue to storm the city wall.

But even so, the knights and mages persevered with great difficulty, wielding their hammers and staffs, and using various fighting skills and spells, but they could not break through the ice tide and ice armor, inflicting decisive damage on the golden beast, and could only hinder the opponent's impact and make it circle in place.

Human strength has a limit, but behemoths have endless endurance, and when their strength is exhausted, this is when the deadlock is broken.

Keely pressed his chest, his internal organs were still aching, the injuries caused by the giant beast flying were very serious, even with his elven bloodline and the recovery power of the demon pattern and the silver warrior, he couldn't recover his heyday in such a short time.

"But that's enough for now."

Running briskly towards the battlefield over there, the half-elf warrior prepared to return to his battlefield.

But an inexplicable chill hit behind him, causing his body to shiver instinctively.

At the same time, the two silver-level knights and mages who were entangled with the giant beast also felt this daunting, but unexpectedly uneasy chill, and they made a move at the same time, forcing the giant beast back, and then instinctively raised their heads and looked into the distance.

A dark red light rose in the distant sky, staining the clouds as red as the sunset.
