Advent of the Archmage Chapter 232: Dark ghost in the Black Forest (3/4)

Northern, Black Forest, ice spikes.

More than four months ago, the Norton Kingdom defeated the Dark Elf forward for the first time at the Ice Spike. From then on, it drove straight ahead, almost smashing the bamboo elves, almost capturing the Kingdom of Pelind.

The front has moved forward, and the ice spikes have also changed from the original forward sentry post to a large camp in the rear. After months of construction at no cost, it has become a huge fortress of war.

On this day, the weather is as bad as usual. There are dark clouds in the sky, the cold wind is whizzing, and the low temperature can freeze human ears.

But even in this weather, the guard soldiers of the fortress dare not take it lightly. A group of soldiers patrolled back and forth on the outer wall of the fortress. The guards on the sentry tower on the wall rubbed their hands hard and stomped their feet to keep warm, but their eyes kept away from the Black Forest north of the fortress.

The black forest is gloomy and cold, and the cold wind blows through the trees, making a sound of 嗖 嗖 嗖 偶尔. Occasionally, one or two ghost-faced crows will pop out at a corner, yelling 呱 呱 呱 呱.

This forest is like a ghost!

Just then, dense horseshoes began to appear in the Black Forest, and the guard captain on the fort immediately shouted: "Alert! Alert!"

The guard immediately clenched his weapon, and the archer took the arrow to the bow. All the soldiers' eyes tightly heard the direction of the horseshoe. As long as there was something wrong, they would not hesitate to attack.

‘Get it’, the horseshoes are getting closer, and about half a minute later, a team of knights rush out of the lush forest.

There are 13 knights in this team. The jersey has been stained with blood by crimson. The knight's saddle on the front is carrying a bloody, dying magician.

When the knight rushed to the front of the fortress, the knight in the cyan armor at the front raised the sword in his hand and shouted, "I'm a Knight of Fékalier, open the door!"

Fekalier, Knight of the Kingdom, 6th-level powerhouse, head of the First Vanguard Corps, the weapon is the Holy Cross sword. After this sword blesses the battle spirit, it will show a bright silver holy brightness, which is basically impossible to counterfeit.

The soldiers at the fortress saw the sword and waited another five or six seconds. After confirming that there was no chaser behind Fecale, they slowly opened the gate on the outer wall of the fortress.

The 'Boom Boom' cavalry rushed across the ditch suspension bridge outside the fortress, and then. The suspension bridge was immediately stowed away, and one second wasted.

Inside the fortress, Fécalé took Maanshan's dying magician and gave it to the knight behind him: "Come, take Arthur to the priest!"

The knight hugged the young magician and hurled his leg toward the temple inside the fortress. In his arms, the magician Arthur was cut in the neck, his head was almost insecure, but he fortunately did not hit the point, although the blood Liu Ruzhu, but the boy still has a breath.

Fekalier continued to sprint in the inner square of the fortress for more than 50 meters. Then he turned over and dismissed the horse. Then he threw the reins of the horse to the soldiers who met him, and hurried toward the command hall.

In the command hall, there are many people's voices, all kinds of voices, generals, deputies, clerks, etc., are rushing to discuss the battle plan.

Fecale walked to the door, wiped the blood stains on his face that had been frozen into ice, and then shouted: "Master Duke, the vanguard barracks was broken!"

All of a sudden, the hall became silent. Everyone looked back at him. On the long table in the hall, the Duke of Abel looked at Faqal without expression, and said in a deep voice, "What did you just say? Repeat it! "

Fecarlie walked quickly into the hall, breathing heavily in his mouth, his eyes still scared: "This morning, those ghosts sneaked into the barracks 'cordon, blinded the barracks' eyes, and then, the dark elves The Blackfang Army suddenly launched an attack, and we were completely unprepared. The Vanguard Army Barracks had nearly 5,000 soldiers ......... only 13 escaped.

Dark ghost, a kind of horrible dark elf that suddenly appears on the northern battlefield. They are as fast as wind, invisible and powerful, and ordinary swords will not kill them. Even if the key is hit, it will not affect the action at all. , Is simply a ghost!

Avant-garde barracks. Only 5,000 soldiers escaped from the army.

The Duke of Abel was so pale that he looked at Fecalé coldly, and gritted his teeth and asked, "Isn't Kanosh? Isn't he also in the vanguard? Others?"

The most intrusive area of ​​the ghosts is the Black Forest around the vanguard barracks. To fight against them, Dawn Excalibur sits in the vanguard barracks. As the only 8th-level soldier in the kingdom, he did form a certain deterrence for the ghosts.

But he has only one person, and the number of dark ghosts is not clear at all. At present, there are more than 100 recorded. The existence of the Excalibur of the Dawn only burns down the flames of the dark ghosts.

Here, Ficari's eyes have turned red: "I don't know. In order to cover our escape from the barracks, what happened to Master Carnothu when he chose to die ... I ... I don't know. "

The hall is still quieter, and even the quiet needle can be heard on the ground.

The people here are all war-fighting people, knowing what it means after the break, even if Kano Xiu's single-armed kingdom is invincible, but in the face of the army, he will kill hundreds of people at most, and the final result must be death.

In other words, the First Soldier of the Norton Kingdom is almost certain to fall.

Silent, still silent.

After three minutes, the Duke Abel stood up, took a deep breath, and looked around at the generals in the hall, coldly: "It's time to shrink the line of defense!"

At present, there are 190,000 soldiers in the north, divided into 10 legions. These legions center on the ice spikes and form an arc line of defense facing the Black Forest. The vanguard camp is blocked 100 miles in front of the fort.

The vanguard camp is broken, and there is only a third legion left in front of the Ice Peak Fortress, and the situation becomes a bit dangerous.

Originally, if you lost the normal battle, the Norton Kingdom would definitely fight back on the other side of the front and give the dark elves a profound lesson, but since the appearance of the dark ghost, the situation is different.

These dark ghosts are hiding in the Black Forest, and the ghosts are out of nowhere. The scouts in MI3 are not their opponents at all, and they are basically a dead end when they meet them.

The number of scouts in the forest is getting less and less, and Wang **** is getting less and less news. By now, the links between the various legions are almost cut off by these ghosts, and the links between them become Very weak, and in a state of war almost everywhere.

In this case, only by shrinking the line of defense is it safe to gather strength.

Duke Abel was hesitant before, but the collapse of the vanguard camp helped him make up his mind.

The generals have nothing to say. Everyone knows that at this point, the battle is basically impossible. They have started to draw up orders and prepare to withdraw.

The Duke of Abel once again said to a man wearing turquoise leather armor: "Kanosh may be alive, I want you to send a search team, and we must find news about Kanosh."

This man is called Diro, from MI3, and is the leader of the scout team. He is responsible for collecting information on the battlefield. A month ago, he did a very good job of suppressing the hand of the Dark Elf's death. But anger, but since the appearance of the ghost, the situation has been reversed.

Now hearing the order of the Duke of Abel, DeLuo frowned suddenly and lowered his voice: "Master Duke, the Black Forest has been blocked by the ghosts. If you search deep in the Black Forest, only the whole army will have no effect. "

This is not his timidity, but the result of many previous confrontations. In the last half month, after scouts entered the Black Forest, the chance of coming back alive is not more than 10%. All the news that Wang **** received was almost All scouts traded for their lives.

As a leader, watching his elite members sacrifice one by one, he feels heartache.

The Duke Abel was furious: "Don't bargain with me, this is a military order! Find him at all costs!"

He is not unaware of the dangers of the Black Forest, but others can die, but Kano Xiu cannot. He is not only a level 8 fighter, but also the morale of the entire army.

If even the Dawn Excalibur has fallen, and the bones are still missing, what courage do the soldiers have to stay in the north? How can this fight be fought?

"Master Duke, as you wish." Diro could only take orders, he quickly stepped out of the hall and began to arrange search and rescue work.

But after ten minutes, he walked back to the hall.

"Why is it so fast?" The Duke of Abel was still angry.

Diro went to the Duke and whispered: "My lord, Her Royal Highness also asked to join the search and rescue team. I can't take the lead and ask your opinion."

"..." The iron duke opened his mouth and tried to say no, but halfway through, he found that everyone in the hall was watching him. Apparently, everyone heard it.

After hesitating for a long time, the Duke of Abel spoke hard, his voice trembling: "Let her go, don't take special care of her, it is important to search and rescue Kanosh."

His daughter, Annie, is only a level 4 assassin. In the past, this was already a good power, but facing the Black Forest blocked by the ghosts is basically the same as sending death, and watching her daughter go to death, he did not Law to stop, this is the sorrow of a marshal of the army.

After saying this, the Duke Abel stood up: "I'm going to rest first."

He turned away from the command hall, and everyone watched him leave in silence. At this moment, the hard-tempered iron duke seemed to be ten years old suddenly, and his walking gait was a bit emaciated.

"Diro, your Highness can't be in trouble," the Duke's adjutant whispered.

"I'll do my best." Diro smiled bitterly, and the situation was beyond his control.

.............

The vanguard barracks were completely annihilated, and the dawn and death of the Excalibur was unknown. The news did not remain hidden for a long time. When the search and rescue team left the ice front fortress, the tens of thousands of defenders in the entire fortress almost knew the news.

For a time, the atmosphere of the fortress was suppressed to the extreme. Although the main force of the army was not lost, the morale of the army plummeted. At this time, the Black Forest was no longer a place for meritorious service. It became an abyss, a devouring life. abyss.

Within half an hour after the search and rescue team left, a figure in a black cape walked out of the forest south of the fortress. It was Link.

Link, who has just arrived, knows nothing about the current battle situation.

He looked at the magnificent fortress in front of him and couldn't help but admire: "But in half a year, I have built such a large fortress of war, it is really efficient."

He accelerated and walked towards the fortress gate. (To be continued.)
