The red light shone like a star, and the depressive dark clouds overhead were pierced in an instant.

Bathed in the starry sky and moonlight, the weather-covered knights rode their warhorses and relined themselves at the highest point of the hill.

They grabbed the reins and came to a slow halt, gasping softly with their horses, the white mist drifting slowly, then being torn apart by the cold wind and dissipating into the air.

The bright silver armor was covered with frost and snow, and the traces of the wind were everywhere, but the knights were not tired, although they should have been exhausted for several days in a row, but the silver knights were no longer ordinary normal creatures, and this level of physical exertion was still within the load range.

Looking around, the hills were covered with frost, and the old trees that had lost their dead leaves were covered with snow and stood alongside the gray rocks.

The knights followed the procession, slowly moving forward, and they looked down from the edge, and what they saw was a tumbling darkness.

The smell of beast blood and savage filled the atmosphere, and with the roar that shook the mountains in the distance, an endless tide of wild beasts invaded from the infinite black forest, rushing unstoppable like the fury of the Black Sea.

Is this the enemy we are going to face?

Without the slightest fear in their hearts, the knights looked at the man standing at the front.

The man who rode a black war horse, broke through the sky with a spear, and stood under the flag.

Joshua.

Joshua Radcliffe stood at the top of the hill, in front of the crowd, staring wordlessly at the raging beast tide below.

The purple-black mist, mixed with churning dust, gradually rose as countless monsters ran, and the army of ten thousand beasts cut through the sky and the earth like a pitch-black sky dome, tearing apart the atmosphere of condensation, and even the blizzard and the wind could not stop it.

Even the bravest of men will hesitate to face such an army of countless rampaging and twisted monsters.

But for the fighters, this is not the case.

Fear?

It's more like anticipation.

There is nothing better than now, and the joy of the battle that is about to come does not need to be disguised.

Like a hungry wolf who is greedy for blood and longs for raw meat, a man who simply longs for a hearty battle seems to have found what he has always wanted.

Wearing black armor, the black-haired and red-eyed warrior held a silver-white giant sword in his right hand, and a second steel spear that was handed to him in his left hand, and the biting cold wind blowing the black cloak into a hunting sound, and in the face of the galloping beasts, his eyes seemed to burn, and he laughed silently.

This is my time.

"Knights, listen to orders!"

A sound like a steel boom sounded at the front of the line, and Joshua laughed wildly and gave the order—

"Follow me—charge!"

"Charge!"

- Fortress.

"Reinforcements? What's the situation? ”

In addition to the archers and Brandon, many people noticed the red light that flashed in the distance and the steel spear that hit the center of the beast tide, but the soldiers who were more focused on hindering the beast tide did not notice this, they just repeated the attack like a mechanic, harvesting wave after wave of wild beasts.

Verdani had been concentrating on dealing with the large number of flying species coming from the sky, and she hadn't noticed anything unusual on the ground before, but when she heard the word reinforcements, she couldn't help but turn her head and look at the archers who were still looking into the distance with a telescope in confusion, and asked, "Are there really reinforcements?" ”

The purple-haired mage had been waiting for reinforcements since she sent her letter for help a few days ago, but she was almost dead in her daily disappointment.

Thinking about it carefully, the countess showed a wry smile, her smile was full of bitterness and self-deprecation, who would cross thousands of miles, just to support an opponent who usually does not interact, and even has the possibility of competition? As for how much of a threat the beasts that escaped after breaking through the fortress would pose to the entire Northland, how could those people understand if they hadn't experienced it personally.

"No, Dani, there are reinforcements."

With a sword cutting off the heads of several monsters that were climbing the wall, the golden swordsman Brandon turned around and said to his lover seriously: "I saw it, just now someone in the distance burst out of fighting spirit, throwing a horse spear across a distance of thousands of meters and hitting the center of the beast tide, causing terrible damage, but because the speed of the beast tide replenishment is too fast, you didn't see it." ”

"Really?"

The countess naturally believed him, and if there was anyone in this world who would not deceive herself, it was only this blonde swordsman, and Verdani used an extremely effective eagle eye for herself, looking into the distance that Brandon was pointing.

In the field of vision, the black-on-gold border flag of the Radcliffe family fluttered against the wind, and the coat of arms of the sword-wielding hand was so obvious.

The knights on the dragon-blooded horses followed the banner and arranged their arrays on the hills, led by a tall warrior dressed in black full-body armor and armed with a giant sword and spear, with a ring of fighting aura unique to gold-level warriors.

There are indeed reinforcements.

But she couldn't help but sigh in disappointment: "Only fifty people?!" ”

Fifty people?

Hearing their lord's emotion, some of the soldiers of the patrol group who were fighting nearby couldn't help but show complicated and indescribable expressions, and then these rough men simply scolded: "Fifty people, such a little reinforcement is of a fart use!" ”

"What do they think it is? Do children play at home? ”

"This ****** is a tide of 200,000 super beasts, fifty people, and it is gone in an instant! If we hadn't had the city walls to protect us, we would have been gnawed away a long time ago! ”

A certain warrior pierced a wolf-shaped beast from the edge of the city wall with a single shot, he wiped the cold sweat from his head, looked at the dense beast at the bottom, twisted and churning like a sea of hell, and said loudly: "Don't talk this nonsense, you see, even the city gate has been blocked by the corpses of this group of monsters, even if they can break through the beast tide, we can't open the city gate and let them in!" ”

He was not bad, the beasts left thousands of corpses at the bottom of the city wall, with their huge size, if it was a small city wall more than ten meters high, the corpses would have been piled up on a slope, and then other monsters could easily storm the city wall. Even if the Moldovan fortress was a super-large wall made of hollowed-out stone mountains, it would not have been flooded so quickly, but the city gate would have been firmly blocked by corpses.

"It's useless, such a little person, even if you come, it's useless."

Sighing deeply, the city guards who learned the news once again recognized the seriousness of the matter, in the face of such a scale of Kuroshio attack, even if there were reinforcements, it was useless, let alone fifty people, even if it was thousands, tens of thousands of large legions, it was difficult to say that they would win.

The little hope that had been kindled by hearing that there was support was simply extinguished by reality, and the morale that had been maintained by numbness suddenly plummeted, and the attack speed of the entire fortress decreased at a frequency visible to the naked eye.

The monsters don't care about the morale of the enemy, they have long been irritable because of the dragon disease, they have only one thought in their hearts, that is, tear the enemy and devour flesh and blood raw.

Some powerful monsters couldn't hold back their hunger and thirst, and when they couldn't attack the humans on the city wall, they simply picked up the corpses of other monsters on the ground and chewed them, and the stinking flesh mixed with purple-black blood splashed out of their mouths, and the purple-blue light in their eyes became more vigorous because they ingested more virus scale powder.

"Ahh

After swallowing the corpse of a similar kind, a certain prototype of a demonic beast that was probably a white bear roared, and the muscles and bones of the whole body burst out, making a crackling sound, its eyes now turned into a dark purple, every breath, mixed with the visible magic light, black mist overflowed from the fur of the beast, and then the whole body suddenly swelled up, the snow-white hair was supported by the violent muscles and muscles like steel needles, and the whole body pulsated with incredible power.

Deep Frenzy!

"Whew!"

The purple-blue breath was mixed with a bone-chilling chill, like a storm that converged in the mouth of the giant bear, which was already about eight meters high, and then, I saw a surging pillar of light rise, and the reinforced ice breath hit the city wall.

Bang!

The violent explosion shattered a corner of the gray-white city wall, and was covered with a layer of ice and fell into the swarm of wild beasts, instantly crushing several weaker monsters, flesh and blood flying, while the other monsters not only did not fear, but became even more violent because of the smell of blood, they hissed and roared, and climbed towards the city wall at a faster speed than before.

One side lost morale, but the other side was even more ferocious, and suddenly there were several places on the city wall that were in a hurry, and even in some weak defenses, and where the patrol team did not have time to arrive, some demonic beasts had already climbed the city wall and fought with the city guards.

"Damn, that's not going to work!"

Arriving at the speed of the wind, Brandon brandished his double swords, and easily cut the few demonic beasts that climbed the city wall in front of him into pieces of minced meat, he turned his head and said loudly to Verdani and the soldiers defending the city: "Even if there are no reinforcements, you shouldn't be so desperate, Dani, at least someone is willing to come over to help you, and the warrior in the lead must have a gold-level level, no one else talks, he will definitely be able to break through the beast tide and come to help!" ”

"Three gold-level powerhouses, at least there is no problem in holding this siege!"

The voice of the golden swordsman was deliberately amplified with fighting energy, resounding between the city walls and towers, and immediately everyone woke up - even if fifty people were useless, at least there was one golden powerhouse! In any case, it is better than the previous form, and there is really no reason for morale to be so low.

"Yes!"

The countess also understood at this time, and she immediately shouted to her knights and subordinates: "Everyone, at least defend this wave of attack!" ”

Then, the golden mage didn't say much, her expression was solemn, and she once again raised the gray ironwood staff in her hand, instilling her magic power with all her might, attracting the elemental power in the atmosphere.

Although the magic and elements were dirty because the surroundings had been infected by the chaotic aura, how could such a trivial matter hinder the full exertion of the gold-level of the purple-haired mage?

Suddenly, the originally howling north wind stopped, the blizzard also stopped, the clouds in the sky were separated by some mysterious force, retreating like ripples of water, and the starry canopy appeared in the sky above this fortress that had not seen starlight for dozens of days, and the morale of all the soldiers was boosted in the face of such a miraculous scene.

“……”

Silent, fully controlling her power, Verdany, as a gold-level war mage of the imperial envoy elements and magic, all the magic she knows and creates is created for the purpose of large-scale warfare, which means that while it is powerful, it is absolutely impossible to use it easily.

The countess knew that after launching her most powerful spell with her own strength, she would definitely fall into a period of weakness for a long time, and even fall into a coma, and if there was no one to protect her, it would be a big drag, so in the first few sieges, no matter how dangerous the situation, she did not use her strongest spell.

But now, Brandon is by her side, and the situation is indeed at its most dangerous

So......

"Witness the power of the stars!"

【Glorious Power・Arc Shattering】

With a shout, countless rays of light suddenly rained down like rain with the twinkling stars as the source!

Suddenly, countless explosions and flashes appeared at the beast tide in front of the city wall, and the shock wave visible to the naked eye was like a stone being thrown into the calm lake water, with clearly visible ripples, and the purple-black smoke was immediately dispersed by the strong light and high heat, and with the scorching gale and the smell of fishy barbecue, the dense herd of beasts suffered heavy casualties.

Verdani's glorious power [Star Arc Shattering] can link the reflections of the stars in the heavens, using the endless starlight as the origin, condensing a barrage of magical power at the speed of light, and inflicting a huge blow on enemies in a wide range.

"Well done!"

It seemed that it was the first time that the blonde swordsman had seen his lover unleash such a powerful spell, and he immediately noticed that the attack of the monster was light, and the pressure on the city wall was greatly reduced.

But then, under his horrified gaze, the purple-haired mage clutched the gray staff in his hand and slowly fell.

"Dani!"

Immediately rushed to Verdani's side, hugged her and raised her head, Brandon frowned, he covered the female mage's head with his hand, sensed it slightly, and then breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "It's okay, it's just a coma due to fatigue, it's not a big deal......"

But now is not the time to rejoice, he immediately turned his head anxiously and looked at the beast tide.

Although at least thousands of wild beasts had been eliminated before, without the large-scale spell suppression and deterrence of the Golden Mage, the flying species in the air would be pressed by a large army, and with the endless beast tide that came later, the situation might be even worse than before!

This is also the reason why the golden powerhouse cannot shoot easily, and sometimes, they can effectively suppress the enemy's attack by staying still.

But in fact, after turning back, the Golden Swordsman saw a scene that surprised him so much that he stopped breathing.

The huge void caused by the shattering stararc still exists, but the demonic beasts on the city walls have been cleared, and the soldiers have been given a rare chance to rest.

Beast Tide ...... Stopped?!

Impossible! Brandon's heart shook violently, and he clearly knew that no matter how powerful the attack was, it would be impossible to frighten these monsters who were infected by chaos and had no reason. They are unlikely to be too frightened to come forward. Just as countless alchemy cannons blasted huge holes in them, which would be filled in a few seconds, although the voids created by the obliteration of thousands of demonic beasts were unimaginably huge, it didn't take ten seconds to replenish them all.

"Wait, it's not stagnant!"

After all, he was a gold-level swordsman, and Brandon was keenly aware of the strange movement of the beast tide: "They are converging in other places!" ”

Don't......

With his eyes wide open in surprise, the Golden Swordsman looked up at the hills in the distance.

There, it is the place where the tide of beasts gathers. In that dark tide of death, a dazzling red light flickered. It's rushing toward the fortress at a galloping speed!
