Chapter 48 Communication

At noon, in the Black Forest Fortress, the sky was clear and cloudless. Although the streets were still cold and windy, there was no blizzard to hinder people's actions.

The soldiers were sorting out the supplies needed to defend the city near the city wall, and most of the civilians living in it took advantage of this rare sunny day to start tidying up the surrounding streets. Several mages and warlocks in robes rode around and ran around. They watched Whether there are any damages or omissions on the city walls and towers everywhere, record them one by one, and prepare to start using spells to repair them.

In all parts of the city, all the people who are still alive have their own jobs. They have calm faces and are not worried about their current situation. The confidence and customs cultivated through countless wars have made these northerners accustomed to the current situation. .

Now is the Kuroshio siege, the sixth day.

Outside the city, the black forest was filled with purple-black mist, and no spells could detect the situation inside. Except for the occasional howling of beasts, no one knew what was happening inside. Several Silver Knights formed a group and went to the fallen fortress outside the city, intending to search for some usable supplies and equipment.

In the city, in the center of this black forest fortress, there is a Gothic steeple clock tower, which looks very old, and the suckers left by the cold leaf creeper are all over its four walls, only the windows are spared because they are often cleaned in difficulty.

Logically speaking, this kind of clock tower is usually not guarded except when people come and go when telling the time, but now, there are several robed mages coming in and out. They all frowned and left with shame and worry on their faces. .

Inside the clock tower, the second floor.

A silver knight with a wounded right hand stood in front of a room. He looked at the gray wall in front of him with a serious face, and remained silent.

Creaking, the door of the room was opened, and another mage walked out frowning. Looking up, he saw the knight guarding the door, and couldn't help smiling wryly, "I'm sorry to trouble you...Elson."

And this gray-haired middle-aged knight who looked not young turned his head to look at the mage beside him, and asked numbly, "Why, failed again?"

"There is no way, the chaotic magic power has completely shrouded the surrounding mountains. As long as the communication fluctuations are transmitted, they will be quickly rewritten by pollution. The power of the formation here is too small, and it is impossible to break through.

After a little explanation, the mage was extremely irritable because of his incompetence. After chatting for a while, he shook his head and left the clock tower, leaving only the knight standing straight in place, motionless.

The sun moved slowly, and the sunlight shone on his body through the windows on the side of the clock tower. It was probably because the weather was too cold. Even though it was the midday sun, it didn't feel hot at all, but a chill came over his heart.

The window here was originally a shooting port for archers. The Black Forest Fortress has never been breached, so it has never been used. However, according to the current situation, it may be designed more than two hundred years ago, but it has never been used. A used firing port will be used for the first time.

"well……"

Sighing deeply, the gray-haired knight looked around the interior of the clock tower that was no longer dark due to the sun. Elsen touched his comminuted fractured right hand and smiled wryly: "Even if it is death, I also want to die on the front line... guarding the communication formation, haha."

He was unwilling to return, but he clearly knew that in the room behind him was a communication circle that could communicate with the northern lands. Although it can't compare with the super-large formation in St. Lauren's Cathedral, which is enough to connect the entire empire and even the outer domain, it is also a very important key protection object.

But due to the unknown black-purple fog, the magical power of chaos covered the Great Ajax Mountain Range, and the communication array with insufficient power could not transmit the information at all.

Those mages who came and went came to solve this problem. Unfortunately, no one could do anything about it. This is not something that technology can solve.

The gray-haired knight was attacked by a flying silver monster during the defense of the city a few days ago. Although he quickly killed it with the cooperation of his comrades, his right hand still suffered devastating damage.

In a fortress with insufficient priests, this means that his combat power has been greatly weakened. Otherwise, how could a Silver Knight be sent to guard this obviously useless communication formation? He must be standing at the forefront of the city wall, guarding against the tide of wild beasts that may attack again at any time, that is his duty.

"Fortunately, there are not many birds in the Northland. In six days, no matter how many flying monsters are nearby, they should all be dead by now."

Following his own thinking, Elson said to himself: "Yes, today is the sixth day, no matter how slow the response from the main city is, they should have discovered something is wrong, but the snow is so deep, reinforcements are coming I don't know how many days it will take, and the fortress may have been breached by then... If the lord flew here alone, it would be a different matter."

Gold-level transcendents can fly freely. Whether they are mages, fighters, warlocks, or priests, they can all obtain the protection of the earth and the sky because of their resonance with energy, and the ability to fly freely in the world. know things.

If flying all the way, it would not take long to get from the main city to the fortress, but it would take a lot of energy to recover, and it would take a few days to recover, so it would be meaningless to come like this.

"What are you thinking so much about?" Suddenly, he realized that his thoughts were getting more and more sidetracked. The gray-haired knight couldn't help laughing. He shook his head and looked at his right hand. Although there are not many priests in the fortress, the medical power is not bad. With the help of potions and several general doctors, with the recovery power of the Silver Warrior, he already has a certain fighting power after a few days: "The big deal is to die in battle..."

Stop talking, Elson felt something blocked his throat, he turned his head and looked out of the window, the stone houses filled the center of this small city-like fortress, densely packed towers stood on top of the city wall , mages, archers and all kinds of heavy equipment like goblin artillery are placed in it, which can provide the most violent fire support.

This is the fortress of the Black Forest, a gray and white city, the farthest point of civilization. Countless people with great ideals and beliefs came to this bitter cold place to live next to the beasts, ice and snow, and guard the frontier of the human world.

This is also the place where he lived for nineteen years, his wife, children and his family are all here,

Two of his most beloved people chose to live with him, the warrior, in the most dangerous front-line fortress, giving up the easy life in the main city, but facing such a deep love, the gray-haired knight could not guarantee their safety.

It's really...

"Zi...Zi Zi..."

A sudden noise interrupted Elson's emotion.

He turned his head to look at the room behind him, and couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, then frowned, showing a puzzled expression.

"Zi...Zi Zi... Unicom..."

"No way... Could it be?!" Hearing the faint voices in the room, Elson immediately opened the door and walked into it without saying a word.

This is a not-so-large room. In the center is a stone platform like a round table. There are dense silver-blue and golden patterns on the stone platform. They are made of crystal, with a faint luster flashing.

And in the very center where these lines converge, there is a small mirror-like white plane, which is composed of runes and ripples like water.

At this time, the contact circle that had been silent for a long time began to flicker, the plane moved, and the runes rotated, and the sound came out of it.

"...I am... the lord of... Zi... Davia, Joshua... Zi... Reeve."

Suddenly, the noisy noise was completely eliminated in an instant, and a majestic male voice sounded from the white mirror: "The twenty-seventh connection, the target Black Forest Fortress, can you hear my voice?"

People who are familiar with me know that my home network is in conflict with the starting point. Basically, it is only slightly better at night. If there is no update at that time, it means that it will definitely have to wait seven or eight hours to get to the starting point...

Recently, it is obvious that the results of the holiday are updated but they are not stable. It is simply...
