Seeing this, the warrior stopped, he turned around, put down the head of the giant beast in his hand, and walked up to meet Keeli and the others.

The old man in front of him, the injured and the unconscious, are all his father's most powerful subordinates, and they can be regarded as Joshua's elders - of course, they are his subordinates now, but the reason can't be said like this, in the face of these people who have known him since childhood, he must go over to greet them.

However, the moment the two sides met, the warrior frowned, he stopped, looked at the blue-haired half-elf with a puzzled expression, and then turned to the white-haired mage and asked, "Mr. Lawrence, this ...... Who is it? ”

"Huh?"

Stunned for a moment, in the face of this situation, Keeley, who was walking in front, had not yet reacted.

He had seen Joshua when he was a child, and had taught the other party to use weapons at the behest of the old earl, although the two sides had not seen each other for many years, but because he could imagine what the young man looked like when he grew up, he didn't feel that the face in front of him was unfamiliar, but the half-elf warrior never expected that Joshua didn't seem to be able to remember himself at all, and he immediately felt that his heart was greatly hurt.

"Don't be stupid, your helmet is off."

Feng's sighing voice came from the side: "He hasn't seen your face at all, it's normal not to know you." ”

Hearing the word helmet, Joshua immediately understood: "Teacher Keeley! ”

After saying that, the warrior's face suddenly became strange - not to mention, the blue-haired half-elf in front of him had an extremely handsome face, although the side of his face was covered with dense magic patterns, but it did not lose his charm in the slightest, and of course, more importantly, this guy seemed to be a little smaller than him, and it was not at all the same as the stern and majestic tall warrior in his impression!

Even if Joshua had a tough face, he was still a young man in his early twenties, and the other party was the same generation as his father, at least forty or fifty years old, and he looked even younger than him...... No wonder you usually have to cover your face with a masked helmet, the magic pattern is still second, the group of big men of the knights see that their top boss is still so young and handsome after so many years, the double blow of age and appearance, the morale should not know how low.

Feng didn't think there was anything strange, he saluted Joshua respectfully, and then said in a slightly hoarse voice: "My lord, this is not the place to speak, if you can, please wait in the fortress conference room for a while, and when Kili and I send Zorgan to the hospital, we will immediately go and report the situation of this Kuroshio." ”

"There's no need to be so formal, Mr. Lawrence."

Waving his hand, Joshua sighed: "This time it was my fault, I didn't contact him for a few days, but I still didn't react, thinking it was the reason for all the peace......"

"This is the problem of communication being obscured, no one would have thought that the Kuroshio would be launched so quickly, not the young master...... Your lord, your fault, not to mention that there were not too many casualties until the end, that is, the city wall collapsed and had to be repaired again. ”

After taking the words, Kiri, who came back to his senses, shook his head and said: "And now that the demon tide has receded, and before the next golden demonic beast appears, they probably don't dare to come out, we have plenty of time to repair it, to be honest, compared to the past, the loss this time is not very large." ”

Turning his gaze slightly, he saw the silver-shining egg-shaped object in the warrior's hand, and his instinctive curiosity made the half-elf ask more: "What is this?" ”

"This is what I found in the body of the giant beast."

Joshua didn't care, he explained slightly: "The mammoth beast usually eats grass for a living, although it is not docile, but it will never take the initiative to attack other creatures, and as the top of the ecological layer, if it were not for it, the giant beast would never appear in the beast tide. ”

Feng on the side stared at the silver egg, but his brows gradually furrowed.

A familiar breath came, and he seemed to have sensed it somewhere.

But now is not the time to talk about this, the white-haired mage thought so, so he said, "Zorgun's injury is very serious, if he is not stable, maybe his strength will regress......

"You don't need to explain this kind of thing to me, just go ahead."

"See you later in the conference room, my lord."

- Outside the city, south of the Black Forest fortress.

The silver-haired girl rode a black war horse, galloping through the white snowfield, and the horse's hooves splashed snow and dust, leaving marks one after another.

After a few moments, the horse stopped running, and now, in front of Hotaru's eyes, there was the tall wall of the Black Forest fortress facing the snowfield, and the huge gray-white rock was almost the same color as the surrounding environment, and it was completely impossible to detect it at a glance.

The reason why they had been running back and forth in the snow for the past two days was precisely because the fog had interfered with the communication, and Joshua and she could not find the exact extent of the fortress at all, so they could only go in the direction of the mountains they had seen, and then circle around the foot of the mountain, but fortunately they were finally found, and it was not in vain to make such a hard trip.

Coming to the gate of the fortress, the girl was a little surprised to find that the soldiers defending the city looked calm, as if not long ago, the terrible alarm sound from the end of the communication circle had never sounded, and the people on the city wall also looked curiously at this silver-haired girl who was riding a war horse and looked very young, and guessed her origin.

Hotaru didn't think too much about it, she simply dismounted, led the black, and showed the name tag that proved her identity to the city guards on the city wall, the light flashed, and her name and origin were projected in mid-air, this kind of name tag with magical fluctuations could not be faked, so a small door on the side of the huge city gate was immediately opened.

"Your Excellency should be in the memory room next to the central tower of the fortress."

As she passed through the passage, the soldier who already knew her identity was told this information, and although she was able to sense the location of her contractor, the silver-haired girl politely thanked the soldier and walked out of the passage.

What appeared in front of her was a street full of people.

Civilians and unwounded soldiers were mostly carrying building materials and distributing supplies back and forth, while many wounded warriors were waiting in front of the doors of the various medical rooms, and some were even treating their wounds on the streets, while the few silver warriors and archers who had suffered less damage had already begun to run around to maintain order.

But none of the robed mages appeared, and Hotaru was keenly aware that there was a gray-robed figure on the other side of the street, covering his head, limping down the stone path, looking very uncomfortable.

This is normal, in the face of war and endless demonic beasts, the noble profession of mage has no way to play to its advantages, and the powerful targeting is useless in the face of the black tide with hundreds of monster attributes. Except for some special advanced war mages, this is basically the case, and a large number of spells will cause them to be consumed by mental power for a period of time after ending their mental tension and have a great headache.

But in any case, the city can be called very well organized, and it is completely unclear that there has been an extremely dangerous siege before.

Hotaru has conceived many scenes.

Worst of all, by the time she arrived, the fortress had been breached, the city was burning in flames, black plumes of smoke were everywhere, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt meat. The best thing is that with the help of the master, the city wall was not breached by the monsters, and many soldiers and civilians fended off the enemy invasion on the city wall, and the battle was in full swing.

In short, she didn't even think about such a peaceful scene now!

How long has it been? It's not been two hours, is it possible that the Kuroshio is over so soon?! Warcraft are all soft eggs, retreating so quickly?

After inquiring with one of the city guards on the side of the road, Hotaru got the information she was looking for.

"What, it was really solved so quickly......"

With a leisurely sigh, the silver-haired girl couldn't help but rejoice in the victory and strength of her master, but she was a little sullen: "It's a pity that this glory doesn't have my credit...... It's a weapon, but it doesn't get a chance to be used, alas......"

It's hard to explain.

Hotaru naturally knows that this idea in her heart is wrong, how to use the tool is the master's business, as a prop, it is not needed, then she should hide in the sheath, just wait quietly, blindly want to appear, it is an immature performance, and it will even hinder the master's judgment.

Although she knew the truth and understood its correctness, she was still a little scared.
