Chapter 266 The Illuminated Blade

Andersa Wendell frowned as she watched the infiltration troops returning from the Dark Mountains.

The infiltration operation against the Dark Mountains failed. Although Andersa also considered the possibility of failure at the beginning, she did not expect it to be so fast, and she did not expect that the powerful elf ranger would not be able to return.

According to the information brought by the retreating soldiers, they were very smooth in the first half of the infiltration operation. It can be said that they easily bypassed the "Dark Mountain Pass" of the eastern defense line of Ansu, but in the area near the southeastern Ansu When the legendary pioneering leader, the situation took a turn for the worse - a team suddenly lost contact, according to the follow-up clues, it can be determined that they were attacked by the Ansu army and annihilated, and then the main team led by Solderin I went to investigate, but I lost contact very quickly.

They didn't have time to send back any news - not even the messenger bugs were released in time, which is only the case when encountering an instant devastating blow.

So the other teams quickly withdrew, and didn't even stay for a quarter of an hour.

The choice of the soldiers is correct. If even the main team led by Solderling will be wiped out in an instant, then the lower-level team with lower strength will only be a dead end if they continue to operate. If they withdraw, they can still save some living strength, and they can save the already existing forces. The proven information was brought back to the commander. However, this did not make the young wolf general feel any better. Rather, after confirming the existence and threat of the pioneering leader, her mood became worse. .

That pioneering territory is real, and judging from its strength, that Gawain Cecil is also real—even if it’s not a real ancient hero, at least it was cultivated by Ansu and is comparable to the Duke of the Three Realms. Powerful characters, originally thought to be the weakest link in the Ansu border, have now become a thorny trouble. The decaying and slow Ansu royal family is not as unbearable as expected at the beginning... They realized the land in time. A major problem on the line of defense and work has already begun to remedy it.

It happened to be before Typhon's official attack.

Andersa asked the soldiers to go back to rest, while she came to the desk and spread out a huge map in front of her eyes.

According to the information that the infiltrating force finally brought back,

She could probably figure out the location of the pioneering collar—it was at the end of the lower reaches of the Baishui River, near the beginning of the eastern extension of the Dark Mountains, with the Dark Mountains backing, the river in front, and large open plains and dense forests on both sides. It is indeed a very good place, and "Gawain Cecil"'s vision for choosing territories is not bad.

This mysterious pioneering area seemed like an abyss in Andersa's eyes. She knew that it was there, but she couldn't find out what was in it. This made the wolf general, who had always been competitive, very uncomfortable, but as the Wendell family Excellent heir, Andersa quickly suppressed the restlessness belonging to young people. She exhaled softly, took the pen and paper from the side, and began to write a letter:

"Reported by the Winter Wolf Fortress... The Dark Mountain Pass does have a weak point, which can bypass the defense line of Ansu East... The Cecil pioneering leader does exist, and there should be a strong military deployment, but the specific situation is still a mystery... The defense line The rest of the area is business as usual, there is no more movement from Ansu, the recent days..."

A loud noise from outside interrupted Andersa's writing. The young General Wolf frowned and raised his head, asking loudly, "What's going on outside?"

The heavy wooden door of the room was pushed open, and a trusted guard walked in: "Commander! There are... strange things approaching on the plain in front of the fortress!"

"Strange thing?" Andersa was dissatisfied with this statement. "Be clear."

"Okay... It seems to be a huge humanoid monster! It ran from the direction of the Dark Mountains!"

The resounding bell has rang, with sharp horns and the loud shouts of commanders at all levels, Winter Wolf Fortress has made the most correct response to the unknown - the city gates were quickly closed, and soldiers came one after another. When the city wall was ready for defense, the hot oil and heavy logs were pushed to the edge of the wall, and on the vast snowfield facing the city wall, groups of ominous red clouds were gathering.

Andersa came to the city wall, and the sharp eyes of the high-ranking knights made her see what the monsters on the plain looked like. For the first time, the youngest female winter wolf commander in history showed a surprised look: " What it is?!"

Huge blood-colored humanoid creatures swayed on the plain. They were like ancient giants in myths and legends, with a huge body that far surpassed that of human beings, but they had no human facial features and limbs details, as if blood-colored mud-like things were in them. The body surface wriggled and flowed, and the faceless head was so terrifying that even Andersa couldn't help but feel her scalp numb when she saw a large group of such giants walking towards the fortress!

That's what the most blasphemous, twisted, and terrifying nightmares look like, but they are here, in front of Winter Wolf Fortress!

"Push up the trebuchet! Monsters of this size need to be dealt with by trebuchets!" Andersa immediately shouted, "You, and you, call the magician and let them go to the battle mage tower! "

And while Andersa quickly deployed her defenses, the giant humanoid monsters swaying on the plain also began to add - they seemed to finally "smell" the smell of living people and magic, and in an instant, they went from a state of wandering in confusion. Excited, these terrifying monsters roared silently, lowered their heads and charged towards the Winter Wolf Fortress without fear of death, while some of the monsters with spellcasting ability raised their arms high in the process of charging. The chaotic energy arrow with ominous black and red light shrieked harshly in the air, crossed a long parabola, and slammed heavily on the solid wall of the Winter Wolf Fortress.

The sturdy wall tiles were weathered and cracked like fragile sand under the corrosion of this inexplicable energy!

Even if there is no direct hit by the energy arrow, the surface of the city wall shows a clear tendency to be fragile!

Andersa noticed the corrosive effect of those chaotic energy arrows for the first time, and realized how terrifying this thing was-although with the thickness of the walls of the Winter Wolf Fortress, the damage caused by these energy arrows was not fatal in a short period of time, however The effect of their "denaturation" of the rock is weakening the overall strength of the entire castle!

"Stop them!" Andersa pulled out her long sword and slashed out a silver-white shock wave, killing the spellcasting monster rushing in front of her. "Don't let them get close to the city wall!"

A chaotic and strange battle broke out in front of the Winter Wolf Fortress.

At the same time, in the newly built arsenal led by Cecil, Byron solemnly presented a one-handed sword with a strange shape and a wonderful beauty to Gawain.

"Sir, the first finished product of the melting sword has been successfully tested."

Gao Wen carefully observed this brand-new weapon, which had gathered countless efforts of technicians and blacksmiths, and his heart gradually filled with joy.

It's a beautiful weapon, beautiful and deadly - it has a deep hue throughout, and the almost black body and grip reflect the precise beauty of an industrial product. It is a single-edged sword. In Gawain's opinion, it is more like a combination of a war sword and a slashing sword: its ridge is straight and tough, and a rune array with functions such as heat dissipation and reinforcement can be seen on the black metal. The blade, on the other hand, is slightly curved at the front and has a deep blue color. The hilt of this sword is thicker and more complicated than ordinary one-handed swords. On the inner side of its handguard, you can see an inconspicuous trigger structure. Its position and size are specially designed to ensure that the The sword is unaffected when fighting, and a toggle-type safety device can be seen next to the trigger - this prevents the sword from being accidentally activated and accidentally injuring the wearer during carrying.

Gawain reached out and picked up the sample fusion cutting sword, and swung it twice at random: the sword was slightly lighter for him, but it was still very easy to use. Obviously, when designing this sword, the technicians Heed carefully the advice from Byron Knight.

"I reduced some of the weight of the blade, and adjusted the center of gravity to make it still have a good balance," Byron Knight explained next to him, "A lighter sword can save the soldier's physical strength, and because the fusion cutting sword itself It relies on the high-heat blade to kill, rather than relying on gravity and inertia to break armor like a common chopping sword, so weight reduction will not affect the lethality of the sword itself."

Gawain nodded, then activated the high temperature blade.

With a very slight noise in the hilt, the energy stored in the magic capacitor was transferred to the heating rune buried inside the blade. The lavender blade of the sword quickly turned red, and in just a second or two, it became hot and bright, covering the sword like a solidified golden red flame.

Its heat didn't dissipate, so standing around the fusion cutting sword would only feel a little heat, but Gawain tried to press the blade against an iron plate next to him for testing, and it was almost easy to remove the heat. A piece of iron was cut into two pieces - the feel was similar to cutting a piece of hard butter.

Gawain did not wear a gauntlet. He seriously felt the heat of the hilt, and asked the magician next to him curiously: "How did you solve the problem of heat insulation and the stability of the fusion cutting sword itself?"

"Lord Lord, the purple steel blade and body of the fusion cutting sword are not one piece. We added a thermal insulation layer formed by mixing quartz sand and crystal dust in the middle, and relying on the purple steel rivets running through the ridge to complete the connection. Rivets A part of the heat will still be transferred, so we added a rune array around the rivets to enhance high temperature resistance, and added a heat dissipation structure on the sword ridge, so that all the heat will be channeled in time without burning the fusion cutting sword itself, It won't hurt the user either."

"Will the strength of the blade not decrease because of this?"

"It will drop a little bit, but because purple steel itself is a very strong and stable magic material, and the refined steel we have forged now is stronger than the previous steel, so the strength of this sword is still enough- Also, it doesn't need to be 'head-to-head' most of the time."

At this time, Knight Byron said next to him: "Of course, in the event of energy exhaustion or other unavoidable situations, soldiers can still use this sword to fight the enemy to the death - the purple steel blade itself is sharp enough. , it's not a problem to use it as a normal sword in a short time."

"Very good," Gawain gently waved the melting and cutting sword in his hand, and the sharp blade with amazingly high temperature drew a dazzling streamer in the air, "The safety of the territory is more guaranteed."
