Chapter 3 I'll be there soon

Hearing this voice, Elson suddenly felt a fire ignite in his heart, excitement, emotion, and surprise back and forth, but he also knew that now was not the time to be happy.

Communication doesn't know when it will be lost, and now the situation in the fortress is urgent, the gray-haired knight pressed the leap in his chest, he immediately walked to the stone platform, closed his eyes, and used his spirit to connect with the communication formation.

"My lord, this is the Black Forest Fortress, Silver Knight Elson."

"It's connected? It seems that this small communication array of Atanis is not an inferior product. ”

Hearing the reply, the voice on the other end of the communication array seemed to be equally surprised: "It's a pity that the distance is too short, I have been running in the snow on horseback for two days, so there is enough signal...... Elson, how is the fortress going? ”

I didn't understand what the small communication array or signal was, but Elson could know from this scattered information that his lord was not far away from the fortress, and in addition to being excited, in order to save time, he reported as quickly as possible: "The fortress has lost all its satellite fortresses, the supply is less than one-third of what it was when it was full, there are nearly fifty thousand wild beasts in front of it in the Black Forest, and those black-purple mist that permeates the sky above the mountains can cut off all detection magic and communication spells, That's why we can't alert the main city. ”

"How many casualties?"

Hearing this, the voice of the other end of the communication array suddenly became serious: "Is the situation critical now?" ”

"The number of casualties is not much, fifty-three warriors died when the fortress was breached, one hundred and sixty-seven were injured during the retreat, but yesterday the beast retreated after breaking through all the fortresses, as for the fortress itself, it has not been attacked at the moment, and the forty-meter-high city wall is not so easy to break, and now the beast may attack at any time, and all the men are preparing for battle."

"It's not bad, the loss is acceptable, Elson, which ...... around you"

Airplanes!

There was a low humming sound, communication was cut off, Elson opened his eyes in exasperation, he looked around, only to see that the entire clock tower was shaking slightly, as confirmed by the white mirror with a hint of ripples on the stone platform.

"What's going on?"

Walking quickly out of the room, the gray-haired knight looked out the window, the snow on the roof of the house began to slide slowly, the trees that had lost all their leaves shook their branches, and many pedestrians on the street stopped, looking around in disbelief, but could not find the reason.

No one thought the tremor was an earthquake, because this was the northern part of the Empire, the Great Ajax Mountains, and an active volcano was in the middle of the mountains, and if there was an earthquake, it would definitely have an omen, not as silent as it is now.

"Squeak squeak."

In the house, in the tree hole, countless mice, squirrels, and hibernating beasts were awakened by instinctive warnings, and with the increasing vibration, the bricks and tiles on the house began to tremble, and the icicles under the eaves also fell one by one, fell to the ground, and turned into broken ice.

- Black Forest.

With the tremor of the earth, the black and purple mist began to surge in the forest, and even caused a huge wave of clouds and mist, this filthy, chaotic wave flooded the entire forest, and the soldiers defending the city moved their eyes to this place, they were on guard against this huge mutation, and they were ready to fight.

"Whoa, aaaa

Suddenly, with a beast roar that shook the mountains, the black-purple fog tide was dispersed by a huge figure rushing from afar, it was at least thirty meters tall, its huge body was like a moving fortress, through the mist, it could be seen that this giant elephant-like monster had a pair of huge fangs and a strong proboscis , and a huge bone plate wrapped the entire head.

The ice and snow became so active by the arrival of the giant beast that it turned into a flowing tide of ice that surrounded its body, forming a solid ice armor, and with every breath of the giant beast, a dark purple mist like black smoke rose and flew between the hairs.

Rumble!

The galloping beast crashed head-on into the abandoned fortress of humanity, and under its impact, the tall stone building was smashed like a fragile toy, and the huge fangs flicked, the fragments of the building flew everywhere, and the dust from the impact rose a pillar of smoke, and it also stopped the impact for a while, and seemed to be slowly regaining its strength.

"Alert! Hurry up and sound the superlative alarm! ”

"Suspected golden monster is coming!"

Toot-toot-toot-toot-toot-

The terrible sirens suddenly resounded throughout the city, and the soldiers, who were stunned by the terrifying appearance of the giant beast, finally reacted, and they immediately went to their respective posts, ready to face the huge monster.

"Artillery ready!" "Mage, where's the mage?" "The ice armor on its body is at least half a meter, unless it is a siege crossbow, it will have no effect!"

The cacophony of noise spread between the walls and towers, sounding chaotic, but in fact secretly orderly, and the defenders of the city, who had been on the alert for the sudden attack of the beast, were startled by the sudden appearance of the beast without warning, but they did not let it go.

A few seconds later, a goblin magic cannon that seemed to have been specially modified was pushed in front of the city wall, and the black muzzle of one hundred and fifty-five caliber was aimed at the behemoth that had temporarily stopped moving, and under the impetus of pyroxene powder, the magic pattern lit up, and it blasted out the first cannonball of this siege battle.

Sou!

The sound couldn't catch up, and the armor-piercing bullet with the pointed steel core flew through the atmosphere with the speed of supersound, and the magic cannonball specially made by the large monster hit the left shoulder of its target, and it successfully broke through the ice tide, penetrating the ice armor, and then the demonic explosion dust contained in it exploded, releasing an incomparably powerful shock wave and high-temperature airflow, tearing and burning the flesh and blood, and destroying it completely.

"Success! Hit! ”

The morale of the defenders on the city wall was boosted, and they could clearly see that with the violent explosion, a huge wound appeared on the left shoulder of the giant beast, and purple-black blood spurted out like a fountain, staining the surrounding snow with a cloudy color.

"The raw material for this cannonball costs 3,000 gold coins, but the power is indeed worth the price!"

"Go on, don't stop attacking, it's still fighting, if this guy hits the wall, it's over!"

Some people can also see that although the wound seems to be very serious, for the huge monster that is thirty meters high, forty or fifty meters long, and twenty meters wide, this wound is about the same as two finger-sized flesh that has been dug out of a person's body, although it is very painful, it will definitely not affect the combat effectiveness, and can only arouse anger.

And the truth is exactly what he predicted.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The snow flew, like a thunderous sound wave turned into a substantial impact, and the air was vibrated by this huge sound into translucent ripples, which was several times larger than the mammoth giant beast Ang Shou let out a furious roar, as if in response to its will, the sky and the earth suddenly raised a sudden blizzard out of thin air, and the black and purple mist spread wildly on its body.

Raising its two forelimbs, and then trampling the earth heavily, under its power, the frozen ground of the Northland, which had been frozen by ice and snow for thousands of years, instantly surged towards the city wall like soft mud.

At the same time, the second wave of attacks from the fortress also poured out, whether it was heavy crossbows or spells, artillery or stone throwings all hit this huge target, although most of them were unloaded by the ice tide surrounding the giant beast, and the remaining small part was also blocked by the ice armor half a meter back, there were still a very few attacks that actually hurt the monster.

Hit by this earth tide, the fortress wall shook violently, although this was blessed by the elves, the strong wall with the existence of activated tree roots inside would not be destroyed by such an attack, but the people above could not withstand such a shock, and the continuous attack suddenly stopped.

"Whew-!!!"

And the giant beast also let out a second roar of pain, it retreated several steps one after another, and many huge wounds appeared on its body, but an inexplicable coercion suddenly appeared, the giant beast suddenly opened its mouth, breathing violently, ice and snow, purple mist mixed with countless air was swallowed into its belly, and the momentum seemed to swallow everything.

"Crackle, crackleβ€”"

The already huge body swelled in constant inhalation, the wound was also pressed by the crazy swollen muscles, no longer bleeding, and the violent momentum of the giant beast continued to rise, and even broke through a limit at the end-

"Boom, ahh

The surrounding peaks began to tremble at the roar, thousands of years of snow collapsed, torrents of crumbling ice swept towards the forest below, and endless beasts came out of the black forest shrouded in purple mist, howling, and began to run towards the fortress.

-- On the second floor of the clock tower, communications were finally restored again.

The highest level alarm that sounded throughout the city was heard immediately, and Joshua, who was on the other side of the communication array, immediately said, "What happened?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The gray-haired knight didn't answer his lord's question, he just stared out the window, at the other side of the fortress.

A violent tremor came from the section of the city wall facing the Black Forest, as if some behemoth was slowly moving towards the fortress, and in the terrible siren, the silver knight Elson's vision seemed to penetrate the city wall in an instant, and he saw a huge fire of life burning wildly in front of the fortress, it was a terrifying existence as large as mountains and seas, it broke through its own limits by burning its own life, and lit up a light.

It was the glow of gold, the power of glory.

"Golden Behemoth......

Muttering in a low voice, the thirty-nine-year-old silver knight's eyes flashed with a complicated light: "Crazy golden beast, the city wall is finished. ”

He turned back to his room and reconnected the communication.

"Lord." Kneeling on one knee, the middle-aged knight closed his eyes and said quietly to the other end of the communication array: "The golden beast is coming, the city wall is about to be breached, and the Black Forest fortress is about to fall. ”

Who can stop the knights from protecting something?

There is no more, the knight's sword is swung out, it must be to defend something, life and death have long been meaningless under this determination.

"It's a shame that I haven't had time to serve you, but I'm going to go to the front line now to protect this land......"

After a pause, the gray-haired knight laughed, his expression looking calm: "This can be regarded as fulfilling the knightly duty." ”

"No, Elson, stop me."

There was silence for a moment, and a majestic and confident male voice sounded again from the other end of the communication array, and the lord of Moldavia said firmly to his knight: "No one will die, and you don't need to be loyal to me with your life. ”

"Because I'll be there soon."
