The great eras, the northernmost part of the world.
In the dark blue sky, the sun will set, and some clouds stir in the sky, slowly rotating like a vortex. In the bleak twilight, the afterglow of the evening light shines on it, covering it with a layer of golden red.
Under the sky, there are endless vast mountains, and a gray Fortress stands in the middle of endless snow and forest, with Hessen in the front and snow plain in the back. It is located at the gap of the mountains, blocking the road of the black forest spreading out. The wall as tall as the mountains looks so great, like the hardest rock that can't be destroyed.
This is a bitter and cold land, the snow mountains without a trace, and the black forest frozen by the frost. In this world where few people are involved, there is no impurity in the pure air. Even if you just breathe, you will feel a burst of freshness in your lungs.
Once, it was.
Black tide besieged the city, the fifth day.
Walking slowly to the top of the fortress tower, the bloody Golden Knight stood his shield aside. He stood at the end of the wall and looked at the black forest not far away with depression.
Black purple dust with the smell of chaos, like fog over all things, it even rises to the sky, the light of the sunset is reflected by these scales, giving birth to a strange and turbid color.
In the dark purple fog which ordinary people can't breathe and is completely polluted, the wild animals are writhing, and the almost endless Warcraft is coming like a raging wave.
As a result, the tide of beasts can be seen everywhere.
It's not the first time for the Golden Knight to fight against the Kuroshio in the front line. In fact, since he was 25 years old, he has never left this gray fortress. This is his home, where his hard work is concentrated. He never thought that there would be a day when he lost his guard.
But today, the idea is rooted in the heart of the knight, and the longer the bigger.
"Fifty thousand..."
He said to himself that he felt a smell of iron spread in his mouth. With a bitter smile, the Golden Knight spat out a mouthful of blood foam and said to himself, "50000 crazy beasts... I never thought I could meet so many in my life."
The fortress and all kinds of defense lines outside the fortress have been completely lost. It is from there that he evacuated. Although there were not many casualties because of his decisive retreat, it was just because he was too hasty and decisive that the fortress also lost a lot of supplies and equipment.
To tell you the truth, the Golden Knight has never been so subdued. He has faced hundreds of thousands of big black tides and killed several golden Warcraft with the old lord. However, 50000 crazy beasts are different from ordinary Warcraft, which is beyond the limit of the fortress with more than 2000 troops and 30000 residents, It's a terrible attack that can only be handled by a super large fortress with more than 50000 people. In front of these monsters who are not afraid of pain and don't know how to retreat, if they don't fight each other occasionally, the external fortress and defense line can't last for five days.
But now it has reached the limit. All the five satellite fortresses have been lost, and one third of the supply of the fortress and a large number of large war machines have been lost.
Now, only the black forest fortress itself is left to face these monsters.
TA TA TA.
The sound of footsteps came from behind the knight. A moment later, two figures appeared on the steps of the tower. They were a wizard in white robe and a masked soldier. The wizard's robe was covered with dust, and the soldier was covered with wounds and blood. They went straight to the edge of the tower and looked at each other with the Golden Knight.
"Shrink your forces, zorgen. While the loss is small, we will give up the defense of the side mountains and concentrate on the front to resist the impact of the wild beast."
After a moment's silence, the mage said to his companion. His face looked very unwilling, but his voice was firm: "now it's just some medium and low-level black iron and silver Warcraft. We can't bear it with our crazy ability. If we go on like this, when the high-level gold Warcraft appears, we have no ability to fight."
"What about the rear area?"
The masked soldier murmured. He didn't retort, but simply asked: "if we don't intercept those Warcraft that bypass the fortress from the mountains, what should the rear manors and small towns do? They don't even have city walls, they only have wooden fences. Do you want them to use this kind of thing against crazy animals? "
"It was a simple massacre! The meaning of our existence is to be nailed here as a nail to prevent any monster from crossing the mountain gap and protect the safety of the territory people. "
At this point, the voice of the masked soldier has taken on a trace of anger: "giving up is the thing that cowards will do!"
"It's not a question of cowards not cowards."
Faced with the suggestion and anger of the two companions, the knight with golden hair immediately replied. He shook his head and said, "these Warcraft who are crazy because of the black fog are very different from their predecessors. As long as they don't solve the immediate goal, they seem to never leave. I have observed that those who try to cross the fortress are Warcraft who are not crazy, And the strength is relatively weak, it is not worth us to spend so much energy to stop, and the rear manors and towns are basically occupied by silver knights, they can deal with itAt this point, he turned to the masked soldiers and said seriously, "our duty is to stop most of the Kuroshio. As long as the fortress does not fall, it means that our task has not failed. If a few Warcraft lead to the lack of combat power in the front battlefield and the collapse of defense, it is not worth the loss."
"At least we have to inform the rear!"
The masked soldier also knows this truth, but he is still a little unwilling.
"You have to be able to get in touch..."
With a deep sigh, zorgen, the garrison commander, could not help clenching his fist: "if this strange black fog could not cover the communication fluctuation, I would have informed the main city and asked the Lord to lead the team to support! He is a strong man of gold level. With him, as long as there is no golden Warcraft of the same level, then the fortress will be as stable as a rock. "
Speaking of this, the Golden Knight could not help but feel angry: "Feng, your group of mages said that they could get through the black fog shield in a little time, but in fact? It's been five days! In addition to the third day, I don't know why there was a little signal, but from the beginning to the end, it was zizizisheng! "
"No way is no way. You can't solve the problem even if you are angry with me. What's more, my group of mages have been releasing spells in front of the position. How can they spend time studying communication arrays?"
Feng Feng, the white haired sculptor of the fortress mage group, turned his head and looked to the beast tide retreating towards the black forest. He gritted his teeth and said: "look at the momentum. The appearance of golden Warcraft has been in recent days. The attack is fierce day by day. Without the support of my group of mages, the fortress will be broken without support."
"Obviously, there must be a powerful 'Lord' this time. This time, the Kuroshio is its army. It drove these wild animals here in order to break our nails in the mountains and expand its territory."
The masked soldier interrupted. After he finished, he doubted: "it's strange that the mad beast hasn't been seen for at least 70 years. What's more, the Lord hasn't heard anything in the past so many years. How come all of a sudden this year?"
The Golden Knight didn't answer this question. He just turned his head and looked forward to the black forest, the dark purple fog. All the wild animals had returned to the black forest, and the soldiers in the fortress could have a rest at last.
But what about it? It's just a little breathing time before the real despair.
Speechless, the three were silent. Facing the war of nature and human, wild animals and fortresses, barbarism and civilization, they had nothing to say
