To be honest, Hao Ren is actually waiting for the old general's words-he has been wading in the wilderness and mangrove forests of the Kolo World for more than ten days, but he has not eaten a peaceful meal, even if he has There is no shortage of food and drink in the different space with Vero nica, and sitting in the wild mountains and wild woods is certainly not a good environment for eating, so when Marcus said that dinner, Hao Ren immediately felt that the old man was pleasing to the eye ...

The old general admits that the environment of the Western Fortress is limited, and Princess Vero nica is not a demanding person, so this simple wind banquet was directly held in this humble reception room, and soon Hao Ren knew that it was so simple The reception room is actually the highest specification place in the Western Fortress: this fortress is magnificent in appearance, but it is a pure battle fortress from the inside out, everything here is designed to resist the power of chaos, no There are no extra luxuries in extra decoration, and even the room where Marcus lives can only be larger than the average soldier. All efforts are made to resist chaos, and all resources used for personal enjoyment are squeezed out into force-this is the normal life of the border people.

However, although the feast is not rich, it is also delicious and nutritious. Frontline soldiers fight every day. As long as there is no problem with the brain, the upper class of the kingdom will definitely not aggravate the soldiers, fresh vegetables and a A soft and sweet noodle cake made Hao Ren appetite, and a thick soup made of fungi also quickly relieved the tiredness accumulated over the days.

When he is eating here, he has no intentions, but Princess Vero nica's attention is obviously not very focused on the food in front of him. The high princess is very worried about the abnormal changes of the chaotic border: "When did the monster siege start?"

"On the day you disappeared, Your Royal Highness Princess," Marcus sat across the table, and his huge size made him like a giant beast lying on the table. "Accurately, after the collapse of the entire shadow jungle defense The fourth hour-when the power of chaos reached its peak state of the day, those things suddenly appeared from the air. This attack was completely without warning, and even the wizards in the magic tower did not notice any signs, if it was not the Western Fortress. There are perpetual runes of order on the outer wall, I am afraid we will not be able to resist the first round of attacks. "

Vero nica nodded: "Does the subsequent attack continue?"

"Every time lasts one to three days, and the interval between them is indefinite. Chaos wanders outside the city. No matter how many times they are broken by the power of the Fire Tower, those things seem to show no signs of weakening. To be honest, I find this very disturbing: this year is the seventh year of the Chaos Tide. After the peak period, they should gradually decline, but now the situation ... it seems that it is increasing. "

"In the Kingdom ..."

"The goddess shelters, the road is still clear, and the contact has not been interrupted. Although the Xijing Mountain Corridor has also penetrated by a small amount of chaotic power, it is not enough to threaten. If even the assistance in the kingdom is interrupted, this is not the picture here. Scenery. "

Vero nica breathed a sigh of relief: "That ’s good, Father Wang and General Groen should have been discussing countermeasures."

"Countermeasures? I am afraid it is difficult to have any effective countermeasures," the old general shook his head. "His Royal Highness, I have fought against Chaos for seven years, and in the year of order I have been fighting against your father for the kingdom. The big and small chaotic tear points in the territory, I know very well what kind of enemies we are facing, it is unknowable and uncontrollable, although sadly speaking, in the face of the tide of the sea of ​​Karnos, humans have only Can passively accept, passively resist, every time we are born from the tide of chaos, it is not because the mortal defeated it, but only because the tide ended before our extinction. If this tide really continues in this situation, old man All you can do is to die here. Delay enough time-this is the only countermeasure. "

Hao Ren looked up and looked at Marcus with some surprise.

He did not expect to hear such pessimistic and desperate words from this seemingly iron-blooded old general, but once such words were spoken from the other party's mouth, he knew that this was already a reality that the Koror had already accepted.

In this case, the old man can still speak out about the death of war, which is the most admirable.

Vero nica obviously also knows that the old general ’s words are the truth, she can only bite her lips: "... I know. Another thing, about the fire post in the shadow jungle ..."

"After 'the day', we lost contact with all outposts," Marcus opened his hand. "Chaotic attacks are quite frequent, and all crossings between the fortress and the jungle defense are completely blocked. We The best scouts ca n’t pass through the shadows. Until recently, a team of death squads successfully crossed the chaos blockade and found the closest outpost to the fortress. There were only two scouts who came back alive. The news brought back was very bad. "

"I know ..." Vero nica lowered his eyes. "Fortress defenders are all dead, it seems that they died of madness."

Marcus put his hands on the table and stared at Her Royal Highness: "You and your knights miraculously walked through the forest. Do you know what happened there?"

Vero nica shook his head: "I am also confused, General, those outposts have no signs of being attacked, all buildings are kept intact, the arsenal has not even been opened, but the guards inside are dead. . But we still found some clues. Some of the commanders at the outposts seemed to stick around the fire installation for a longer time than others, and they stayed ... "

Vero nica talked about her findings at those outposts. During the whole story, Marcus did not intervene. The old general just listened intently, and the powerful eyebrows on his face gradually became entangled.

"We don't know anything about these things," Marcus' expression was somber and terrifying, "I failed your father."

"General, manpower has limits," Vero nica reassured. "You can hold the fortress in the west. It is already the greatest contribution to the kingdom. What is happening in the shadow jungle is full of weirdness-not just the fire whistle. The changes that happened to the station, even my defeat on that day, was a little bit weird. Although the Confederate States have always been proud, they have never reversed this fault in the past centuries. All these things deserve our in-depth study, Wang The scholars in Tokyo are probably the only hope. "

Marcus frowned: "The scholars ... can only count on them. What happened on the western front must be reported to the king immediately. I will arrange the messenger here."

"Messenger?" Vero nica raised his eyebrows, "Transportation device ..."

"It was unusable ten days ago," Marcus shook his head. "Interference is getting stronger day by day. Wizards say that a dark vortex over Ansu is gradually taking shape, and the spatial structure on the mainland has become very poor. Stable, except for the hinterland of the Kingdom, space transmission in other regions has been completely disabled. "

Vero nica thought about it and said decisively: "... then I have to go back to Wangdu."

"Well, you survived safely, Your Majesty must really want to see you immediately."

"Not only for this reason," Vero nica put down the tableware in his hand and looked to the side of Hao Ren. "Our chaos trip has experienced many incredible things. Some things are still more reliable to tell the father in person, and my sister ... … She knows more, and may be more interested in the guardian. At the same time, I am also worried about the domestic situation. If I do n’t show up again, some people might not be able to sit still. ”

"Ha, the circle of nobles ..." Marcus called Haha, without disguising his disdain and boredom in his tone.

Hao Ren looked at the people around him and felt that he did n’t seem to be involved in the current topic, so he continued to bow down and eat seriously.

After the wind banquet, Hao Ren and the other knights returned to their rooms to rest, but Vero nica and Morian stayed.

The two climbed the tall minaret of the fortress with General Margus. They walked up the spiral staircase and finally reached the platform at the highest point of the West Fortress. The Tower of Fire is high on the base behind them. Standing tall, radiating a tremendous amount of light, the whole fortress was shrouded in shelter.

Looking around, the shadow jungle is like a muddy black cloud gloomy on the land of the West, and farther away is completely enveloped by darkness. The mountains on both sides of the fortress also extend all the way in the light. It was finally obscured by the dark clouds of the sky. Only on the east side of the fortress, you can see the vast and uncontaminated mountains and hills. A glimmering road extends between the forests and leads all the way to the kingdom.

If you are here, if you only look to the west, you will inevitably feel surrounded by the dark sea and you will feel trapped in an isolated island.

This is the bridgehead of the world of order, the bright edge.

"About the 'Guardian of the Ancients' ..." Marcus looked at the large forest in the distance and seemed to speak at random, "His Royal Highness, do you trust him?"

"He saved all lives, including mine." Vero nica said lightly.

Marcus heard the unspoken voice: "It seems that you are not so sure about his origins."

Vero nica is silent.

In the beginning, Hao Ren was identified as the ancient guardian. This is indeed the princess, but this does not mean that she has no follow-up thinking. After so many days of thinking and observation, especially noting that Hao Ren has noticed this world. After a lot of common-sense misunderstandings and even ignorance, her doubts began to gradually increase.

Messing confusion is often not a panacea.

Marcus waited for a few seconds and found no response, then continued: "You should also think that there may be hermits who survived the last century in the wilderness, but it is unlikely that there will be anything from the previous generation- —Chaos is shuffled once every 100 years. Except for a few specific tear points, there are few ancient ruins in the world that no one has discovered for a thousand years. "

Vero nica glanced at the old general: "The holy mountain of Kasuan is in a tear point. Whether it was a hundred years ago, three hundred years ago, or a thousand years ago, it was always enveloped by chaos. I I know this is incredible, but there is really a temple there. "

Marcus' eyes widened.

"His origins are indeed fascinated," Sir Morian finally spoke at the moment. "But he is certainly not a servant of chaos, nor a cultist. He carries many extremely powerful sacred objects with him. The power is far from all of this era, I am afraid it is really an ancient relic. "

"Anyway, the most important thing is that he is on our side," Vero nica sighed, "I know you might think my thoughts are naive, but I was thoughtful, I trust him, and believe He is the guardian of the Holy Land, whether or not he really came from the ancient times. "(To be continued.)
