Northern border, cold wind hills.
The camps are continuous, the military flags are spreading, and the military camps made of heavy and strong northern stone camphor trees stretch along the mountain, as if a dark gully has been plowed in the snow, and the soldiers wearing the special "Winter Wolf" armor of the Northland Legion Running between the barracks, like a busy worker ant, reinforced this newly established camp.
And over the camp, a layer of shimmering magic shields is gradually taking shape, and the magisters from Icewind Valley are working overtime to erect pillars around the camp to try to complete it before the blizzard. This magic barrier.
This is the elite army of the six northern provinces. This empire is the proudest of the northern corps. Until half a month ago, it was a strong barrier to the north of Dragon, blocking the empire from the extreme north. The evil demons of the Arkoon Abyss invaded, but at this moment they set up a new camp away from their original line of defense, the sword guide, preparing to attack the imperial capital.
A figure wearing heavy black steel armor came to the hillside, looking down at the barracks below and the busy officers and men in the barracks. Although the figure wearing armor was impressive and had a rather tall height, that figure The tailored armor according to the wearer's body still makes the commander's limbs much slimmer than the average male soldier, and the circle of rose lace decorated on his cloak seems to imply the true gender of the armor.
The crunchy snow stepping sound came from behind, and an old general with gray hair also came to the hillside. The old general looked like a lion, even with his arms bare in the wind and snow. It almost makes people wonder whether it has the blood of a barbarian. He stopped behind the black armor figure, with a respectful tone: "His Royal Highness, you should go back to rest, the blizzard is coming soon."
The black armor figure did n’t look back. From the dark helmet, a low but clearly feminine voice came out: "Duke Owen, what do you think of this war?"
The old general looked far away, and that was the direction of the imperial capital: "From the day when the North Front Legion became an army, we had only these two missions, blocking the Gorgon Abyss, and completing the era of replacement-Your Majesty gave us this Mission, you lead us to complete this mission, this is the meaning of the existence of the Northern Frontier Corps. "
Constanz Dragon shook his head, and the armor squealed: "Despite the sense of mission, what do you think of this war itself? Our victory and defeat, the future of the empire, and ... this war The consequences will be. "
"The warriors in the north can resist the erosion of the Gorgon abyss in ice and fire. We do n’t have those mechanical swords, and we do n’t have ancient heritage. We rely on only the will and the brave will and the generals have not been The brain that was completely frozen, "the old general called Grand Duke Irving laughed," I think the North Front Legion is enough to fight against the Black Sword Knights, and we also have your sword-sword knights. Here it is. As for the consequences of this war ... "
The old general was silent for a moment: "His Royal Highness, many things are doomed."
A slight sigh came under Constance's faceplate, and then she looked up and looked in the other direction.
On the horizon farther north, a faint red line leaps between the sky and the earth, and the sky around the red line faintly shows signs of distortion, as if there is a powerful force entrenched there, waiting Into the world.
"Gorgon Abyss has responded to us. It will be silent for two years. Within two years, we must end this war."
"The Warriors of the North will not let you down, Your Royal Highness."
Constanx nodded slightly, and slightly retracted her gaze to the Gorgon Abyss. She saw that at the edge of the cold wind hills, a new snowstorm was gradually taking shape.
She took off her helmet and her long black hair flew up in the northern snow. The oncoming snowflakes and cold wind made the empress with a strong face and deep eyes can't help but narrow her eyes, she An old and empty voice echoed in my heart:
"The dynasty has no eternity, the gods will die, the Holy Spirit will die, and the sages and dragons will also die. We do n’t know the beginning of all this, but we can see that bleak future. Eternal night is sinking, everything is gray in smoldering, all great souls can only witness this end in the helpless wailing, and are torn apart with the whole world. Those who are ignorant of this are lucky, limited in them In the life and cognition of the world, the world is full of light and peace. Except for the year of chaos, most people can enjoy the peace of life, but eternal people must bear the pain of facing the truth. This is the price of eternal life. . "
Constans took a step towards the campsite.
"Father and Emperor, please wait a moment, I will inherit your throne."
......
Some changes have taken place in the black pine forest-but depending on the observer, the so-called changes are most likely just revealing the truth.
The team is advancing on a road in the forest where no one has ever stepped on. The neat petrochemical lampposts on both sides and the seemingly endless black pine trees keep going back as the vehicle moves. At this moment, the three caravans have switched shapes After the car guard plate is lowered, it becomes a low bunker, and the occupants sit inside the bunker to observe the outside world, which is more conducive to the panoramic view of all the wind and grass in the forest-anyway, these three cars rely on shields If the device is used to provide protection, lowering the carriage will not affect much of the protection performance.
The third caravan that was originally at the end of the team is now replaced in front of the team and becomes the first car.
Leah is lying on the front of the caravan, staring at this wonderful forest. The fog and confusion in the forest Space - Time are meaningless in front of her eyes. The forest is showing its truest side.
"I can be sure that what we are walking is the real black pine forest road, it should be like this-and the roads and broad roads you know are explored by explorers "It's an illusion," Hao Ren said to Charlemagne and Avenna. "I can also make a bold guess. For many years, explorers have only been in the gap between the virtual and the real outside the black pine forest. People feel that they have crossed the black through the forest road. Pine forest, but in fact it may be through some kind of spatial passage, or it may be deeply hypnotized when walking around the outer periphery of the forest-the real scene inside the forest has never been seen. "
Avena was surprised at the moment and did n’t know what to say. She stared at the surroundings and looked at Leah lying in front of the car: "This assumption is really terrifying ... who is this little girl? Why? Are you so confident? "
Liya shouted without looking back: "Do n’t call me a little girl, I ’m more than you!"
“It ’s a bit complicated to explain her identity, but she has a magical ability to see who ... who is not, it ’s seeing through everything,” Hao Ren explained in a perfunctory manner, “She can see through all the world ’s hypocrisy, so Because she is in the team, we can enter this area where no one has ever stepped on. "
"Your World Tree Temple ... What kind of organization is it?" Charlemagne hesitated for a moment and finally couldn't help asking.
Hao Ren thought for a while: "Basically save the world."
"Okay, I passed, please don't mind."
"... I mean seriously!"
Here, Hao Ren is emphasizing that he is a sincere person. Lily suddenly poked his arm next to him: "Landlord Landlord, look over there-it appears again."
Hao Ren looked in the direction of the Lily finger, and suddenly saw a few vague figures suddenly condensed in the haze behind the side of the team. Those figures shook twice, and they became unreal. Different-there are several "phantoms" wearing civilian costumes, with golden-red pupils, silver-like hair color, and up to two meters in height. They have both men and women, just like the ordinary people walking in the forest. Chatting the sky slowly walked into the mist in the distance, and their voice came faintly:
"The army has been mobilized very frequently recently." "I heard that there has been a war on the border ..." "The dean often went to the Great Temple recently, will it ..." "The Seven Kings Conference is about to be held, I really don't want to What's wrong with this time. "
The phantoms disappeared, and Vivian frowned lightly: "The seventh time, and this time there is a meeting of seven kings."
Since the team moved deep into the Black Pine Forest, those phantoms have appeared more than once.
And its content varies.
For the first time, Hao Ren, they saw soldiers who were on the road with polluted monsters. In the second time, they saw a group of wounded refugees retreating under the cover of the soldiers. For the third time, they watched When a group of prisoners were escorted into the depths of the forest, but for the fourth time, they saw a group of simple-dressed craftsmen gathered at the intersection, pointing at the forest and seemingly planning a construction project ...
It is now the seventh time.
The appearance of phantoms is irregular, and it does not seem to be arranged according to the timeline. Sometimes it appears refugees at the moment of national crisis, sometimes it appears that they are pioneers in the development of barbarism.
Lia has just begun to speculate that these phantoms are "another possibility that the world has never realized", but now this speculation has basically been rejected. Hao Ren suspects that the black pine forest is actually showing the "old world" There is a certain history, and it is a history that Lia has never seen before.
That was supposed to be an old memory, but it turned into a "false world" for some unknown reason. Hao Ren speculates that this so-called unknown reason is the destruction and rebirth that Lahreen once experienced.
There is only one point that cannot be explained-this world was reborn under the influence of Leah ’s dream, which part of the process was wrong in this process, so that such an "old world reverb" was preserved , And in the form of a black pine forest now in this world?
Looking at the dark trees around, Ai Wenna was a little uneasy: "Are we ... really going the right way?"
As if to respond to her, Lia, who was lying in front of the car, suddenly patted the cover of the car, pointing to the fork in front: "Front, left."
"Trust her judgment," Hao Ren said with a smile. "Her instinct and real vision can lead us to the truth of this forest."
Evena almost cried out: "But we don't want to find the truth about this forest-we want to go out quickly ..."
Hao Ren's face does not change color: "Oh, then her intuition and real vision can take us out of this forest."
Avenna suddenly felt ashamed, and felt that the group of god-nagging guys in front of me might not plan to go out ...
And at this moment, Vivian suddenly raised his head and shrugged his nose: "I seem to smell ... bloody."
