Starfall, 831, December 17, evening. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hessian fortress in Moldova, heavy snowfall.

The cold wave was not spared by the fact that the fortress towering over the mountains and snow had just experienced a great battle, and it was mixed with snow and cold winds that constantly blew between the streets and towers, condensing layer after layer of frost.

The gloomy clouds weighed down and spread the heavy atmosphere, and now there were no pedestrians walking on the greystone road, only scattered broken weapons and destroyed armor and equipment abandoned by the roadside, their owners may have long since been killed, or they may have been lucky enough to survive, but in any case, the scene was extremely bleak.

And the silver-haired girl walked slowly on this deserted street, and her green pupils could not see any emotion.

She was light-footed, full of girlish energy, wearing a white women's double-breasted military uniform, matching trousers and silver leather boots, and a pair of light leather gloves on her hands, and occasionally a white slender wrist could be seen between the gloves and cuffs...... I have to say that such a beautiful girl full of vitality is not suitable for appearing here.

But Hotaru thinks it's very suitable.

Looking around at the surrounding houses and towers, the Divine Maiden breathed in the smell of war and felt the aftermath of the battle, and she looked at the broken weapons on the ground, her gaze softened, as if she could communicate with these dead things. But she didn't stop there, but walked straight in one direction.

Silver leather boots and stone streets collide with the snow and ice in a soft 'pop' sound that echoes through the wind-only streets and is carried into the distance.

"It's miserable......"

Sighing softly, Hotaru said with some emotion: "It is also the siege of the Kuroshio, although the master's territory is tragic, but it is not so desolate......"

After all, when the fortress of Moldavia was at its most critical, Joshua arrived at the scene and killed the golden beast, otherwise, the fortress of Moldavia whose walls were breached would definitely be a hundred times more tragic than the current fortress of Moldova, and it would be a blessing to have a living person survive.

But in any case, the final result is that Joshua arrives, and his master has cleaned up all the monsters and troubles, and the leader here can't do the same thing, so it has caused such a consequence, and this is the gap.

But it should be like this, how can his master be the same as ordinary people?

Thinking of this, Hotaru was now in the center of the fortress, and this place finally gained some popularity, and the patrolling knights set out from here to go to various parts of the city, wearing dusty and bloodstained armor, tired but strong spirits to march in formation.

Next to the streets they patrolled, rows of unoccupied houses were silent, except for a few small buildings with the glow of flames, and smoke from the burning walls wafting from the chimneys.

It's like an empty city.

In the face of the Black Tide composed of 200,000 wild beasts, the Moldovan fortress was actually not as heavy as expected, at least not as big as imagined, but there were so many injured and tired people that many people still fell into a dreamless sleep in their homes and barracks, even such a team of tired soldiers was finally put together.

These soldiers, out of a sense of duty, honor, and orders from their commanders, tried desperately to lift their spirits, so that they would not fall asleep while walking, lying in the snow and ice. Obviously, he was holding a pyroxene lamp for lighting in his hand, emitting a foggy white light, but his head seemed to be covered with a dark cloud.

In the middle of the avenue, these soldiers met Hotaru who was observing them, and the soldiers who didn't know her were a little surprised that there was such a spirited and cute girl in the fortress now, but they didn't make any moves, but a kind leader reminded him of his sleepiness: "Child, the fortress is now under curfew, you can't go out, and it's so late, go back with your parents, don't let them worry." ”

"yes, it's so cold, what are you doing outside?"

The other soldiers echoed in unison, and one guy made a joke: "Actually, she is not dangerous, you see this clothes and hair, and her skin is as white as snow, walking on the street full of frost and snow, if you don't pay attention, you can't see anyone at all." ”

"It's really, snow-white."

By this forced joke, everyone laughed, and their spirits were lifted a little, and then they continued to patrol, as for Hotaru - what danger is there in the fortress now? It's just a reminder not to come home too late and scare the little girl in their eyes.

“……”

With her cheeks puffed out, the silver-haired girl turned sideways, looking at the backs of the group of soldiers gradually moving away, she said with some unhappiness: "I'm not a little girl, obviously ...... The master was twenty-one or twenty-three...... Yes, I'm twenty-one years old! ”

The explanation came a little late, and the patrolling soldiers had already walked to the other side of the street early, and could not hear her answer.

After walking for a while, not far ahead was the central warehouse of the fortress - it is said to be a warehouse, but in fact it is a material transit area, as the most important place of the fortress today, there are about twenty or thirty people guarding the inside and outside of the warehouse, they wear chain mail and half-hooded helmets, carry long swords and solid wooden shields, and patrol back and forth with a six-pointed star on a red background and gold edges.

Although the Warcraft is not like the human race attacking and defending each other, they will focus on raiding each other's material centers, but after all, there are a large number of flying Warcraft, and there are a lot of smart ones, as long as they are likely to be attacked, they must not relax their carelessness, these soldiers are not in good spirits, although they seem to be a little tired, but they seem to have at least got enough sleep.

At first, the guards of the warehouse wanted to stop the little girl from approaching, but the chief had already received a greeting from his boss, and after confirming that Hotaru had been granted permission, the haggard face and the guy who didn't seem to have slept well for a few days walked into the warehouse with a wry smile.

"Alas, it's really miserable, there is actually no shortage of weapons and armor in the warehouse, otherwise everyone would not have thrown the broken weapons on the side of the road, but there are enough weapons, and there are not enough people......"

The haggard warehouse chief said bitterly to Hotaru: "Ordinary militiamen can't wear this kind of heavy armor at all, even regular soldiers may not be able to walk smoothly, and the most scarce thing now is chain mail and wide wooden shields...... If these heavy armors can help those knights for reinforcements, just take them, it's really useless to put them here. ”

He didn't intend to save for his lord, and that's exactly what Verdani meant - fifty silver knights were naturally nothing in the beast tide, but on the city walls, they could ensure that at least a few hundred meters of range were absolutely safe, enough to pay a lot of investment, and fifty sets of armor were nothing to the wealthy Scarante family.

Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that the fortress was originally hollowed out of a small stone mountain, and the body was too wide, otherwise, the fifty knights would definitely be a very crucial force, but the vast defense line weakened the importance of the knights.

From time to time, Hotaru accosted the head of the warehouse and asked what something she had never seen before, and the tired middle-aged man was still mentally ready to explain one by one.

It wasn't until they entered the warehouse on the second floor that the two of them fell silent.

In the center of the warehouse on the second basement floor, the white light of the pyroxene lantern flickered, and this light reflected on the sealed armor and swords around it, illuminating the entire warehouse hall.

"What style of armor does the lord of Moldavia like? Tell me the size and I'll pick it for you. ”

Seeing that Hotaru seemed to have some reasons and couldn't choose at all, the chief of the warehouse said this with confidence: "If nothing else, when it comes to being familiar with the style of armor and weapons, there are few people in the whole of Moldova who can surpass me." ”

“…… In that case, then please. ”

Hotaru, who was distressed, simply reported a large number of data, and it didn't take long for the smiling warehouse chief to fetch the armor that met the requirements.

The armor that had been turned into a small model by the shrinkage and weightlessness was placed in a small box and handed to the silver-haired girl.

"Thank you very much!"

"We owe you a debt of gratitude."

With a wry smile and a wave of his hand, the middle-aged man shook his head and said, "No one can see that if that adult hadn't come with his troops to disperse the beast tide, today would be the day our city was destroyed and killed...... Alas. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed again: "Anyway, at least I can rest now...... You and that adult, you must take care of your health. ”

“…… Well. ”

After taking the box and saying goodbye to the guards, Hotaru left the city center.

In the cold wind and haze, the silver-haired girl followed the induction of the contract and walked on the silent street.

She walked slowly towards the walls in front of the fortress.

The hosts, right in that place.
