Chapter 1235 The Battle of the Western Fortress

After the communication was cut off, Hao Ren didn't react for a while. He was stunned for a while before shaking his head: "Damn it, overseas wifi is really unreliable... I don't know if Vivian heard the last sentence."

The female knight named Lavinia was still standing in front of him at this time. After seeing Hao Ren's strange behavior, she blinked: "Lord Guardian... what's wrong with you?"

Hao Ren quickly adjusted his expression, smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay. I suddenly remembered something from the past... After all, I just 'wake up', and sometimes my memory is confusing. By the way, where did we just talk about?"

"Speaking of you going to find your old friend..." Lavinia couldn't help but have a look of suspicion on her face when she said this. It was obvious that she didn't believe some of Hao Ren's claims, "What do you have? Is there a clear goal? Although my family does not have much influence in the kingdom, my brother has a wide network of contacts and likes to get to know some hermits and scholars with a long history. Maybe he can help you."

Hao Ren was stunned and thought to himself that what he was looking for was a husky spirit that just fell here a few days ago. If you can find a bunch of old pedants to come over and help, you might as well find some masters of bone soup. ——When the time comes, several pots will be lined up at the city gate, and Lily will be able to greet anyone within a hundred miles radius... But he can't say this to others, so he just complains in his heart, and still has to say it on the surface. Politely: "Then I have to thank you. If this is the case, I owe you a favor."

After a few more polite words, the female knight named Lavinia was called away by her partner, leaving Hao Ren behind, stroking his chin in deep thought.

The sound of iron boots hitting the ground woke him up from his thoughts. Hao Ren raised his head and saw the heroic Veronica standing in front of him. The princess nodded slightly to him: "Lord Guardian, what should we do? let's go."

After a short rest, the knights not only re-adjusted their mental state, but also greatly recovered their physical strength. When they went into battle again, all the warriors appeared to be full of energy. This time they had no other worries. Under the leadership of Her Royal Highness, the team began to move at full speed. March forward towards the northern fortress.

As the saying goes, a horse can run to death in Wangshan Mountain. This is true. Even if the combat professionals in the world of Koro are as strong as supermen, the hilly land between the Shadow Forest and the Northern Fortress is still enough to take half a day. However, because he had just restored contact with the outside world, Hao Ren's mood had become lighter. He regarded this journey as a journey to see the scenery while walking: Although the surroundings were still twisted and dim, the chaotic world was still far away. The fortress shrouded in light is still a breathtaking sight. As he walked side by side with Veronica and Morian, he inquired about the history of this fortress established in the 22nd year of the founding of Talos, and the distant mountains gradually became clearer in his vision.

But just when they were about to arrive at the foot of the fortress, a palpitating feeling suddenly emerged from Hao Ren's heart. He immediately stopped and looked in the direction of the fortress - at this distance, the towering white rock wall of the Western Fortress had already In front of you, the ancient runes and eagle reliefs on the city wall are clearly visible. On the top of the thirty-three magic sentry towers in front of the fortress, the Talos Eagle War Flag with gold edge and blue background is flying.

Veronica was a step behind and reacted. The princess with royal blood frowned. She felt that the breath of chaos was close at hand. This evil force that was hostile to order stimulated her blood and made her heart agitate. shock.

Her Royal Highness the Princess waved her hand in a warning gesture, and the knights immediately lowered their bodies, and using the cover of nearby rocks, the team climbed to the top of a hill. Hao Ren lay next to Veronica and looked outside.

He saw a wasteland covered with gray-white gravel extending under the hills, all the way to the towering white stone wall of the Western Fortress in the distance. On the wasteland, a piece of gray-black "sludge" was rushing towards the city wall in waves.

That is not some sludge, but a monster bred in chaos.

Monsters attack the city!

On this side of the Shadow Jungle, chaos no longer appears in the form of fog, but as the carrier of gray-white gravel and gravel scattered across the earth. Black smoke was constantly spewing out from the barren land. After the black smoke left the ground, it quickly rotated and condensed, turning into hideous and terrifying monsters within seconds. Thousands of monsters condensed from the black smoke rushed towards the Western Fortress without any order, as fiercely as the waves crashing against the embankment. Their number was so large and their arrangement was so dense that even those standing in the distance were Looking from the hills, they were as thick and turbid as the mud covering the earth - Hao Ren couldn't help but think of the black tide he saw in Hercules' sealed cage not long ago. The monster in front of him now The tide was even worse than the "black tide" of that day.

Because there is no Heracles here to restrain the scale of the tide of monsters, these pure monsters bred from chaos are more ferocious, more ruthless, and more endless!

The white city walls of the Western Fortress stand in the light of Symmetra. Various protective runes shine on the towering walls. The runes restrain the power of Symmetra and form a translucent energy shield on the city wall. Chaos monsters kept hitting the shields like moths to the flame - they tore with their claws, bit with their fangs, bombarded with all kinds of primitive and violent dark magic, and finally crashed to death on the light wall. , the whole body turned into a dark fireball in the grand explosion. Countless such explosions bloomed at every section of the city wall's defense line at all times, and the shock waves generated even shook the physical part of the fortress wall: the ten thousand-foot-high white stone wall was shaking in the explosions, and gravel and gravel continued to fall from the boulders. The cracks burst out, and from a distance, it looked like the outer walls of the fortress were spewing smoke.

This is the most thrilling event in the world of Koro: the evil force dormant in the chaos rises up and directly shakes the barriers of the world of order!

In the past seven years, and in every chaos tide in the world of Koro in the past hundred centuries, this kind of battle has been repeated countless times. Although Symmetra can prevent the penetration of Chaos power, Chaos power also has With their own attack methods, the monsters born from the twisted laws are the cannon fodder and vanguard of this war: every once in a while, they will kill the world of order in a mighty manner. If they break through a barrier, then the land of order will be destroyed. The border will recede, and the space for mortals to survive will shrink again.

In Veronica's knowledge, in the continent of Ansu alone, humans and elves have lost more than 40% of the land - the once fertile barren wilderness, the peaceful and tranquil shadow jungle, the dark swamp with rich water and grass, the scenery The beautiful gray-white sea... As the Towers of Furnace Fire, Towers of Fire, and even Towers of Sunburn were extinguished, the barriers were broken, the defense lines retreated, and the mortal races traded space for time. These originally peaceful and peaceful lands were one by one. It became a forbidden area of ​​death in chaos. What caused all this was the scene in front of me.

Chaos is coming.

Veronica clenched the sword in her hand, and made gestures to the knights with her other hand to get everyone ready for battle.

On the front line of the Chaos attack, the power of order will be weakened, and the dark side of the Sea of ​​Karnos will be active to the point where it can materialize at any time. Even if the knights hide outside the battlefield, sooner or later they will be discovered by the ubiquitous evil forces. So fighting is inevitable.

On the frontline of Chaos, cowardice and escape are meaningless. No matter whether you have the courage to draw your sword or not, fighting is the only outcome.

The knights unsheathed their swords, and the power of magic began to stir in the air. The runes on the royal armors lit up one by one, reflecting the determined faces of the young people.

In Koro, every great tide of chaos is actually a process in which the mortal race continues to retreat and die. The dark side of Karnos erupts from every corner of the continent, and then devours everything along the way. Although the mortal race is always fighting bravely, However, just looking at the surrounding wasteland, even an outsider like Hao Ren can see what the war situation is like: the power of order is constantly shrinking, and the mortal race is just resisting with flesh and blood and layers of defense lines. It's just hard work, all they do is procrastinate.

Before there is no way to retreat, drag it until the chaos dissipates, and drag it until the sea of ​​Karnos subsides.

No one feels there is anything wrong with this. This is how they have survived for generations. If they have to complain, they are probably just complaining about why they happen to be the generation where chaos broke out - far less than those who lived in calm years. Lucky.

"Are you planning to use these people to help out?" Hao Ren turned to look at Veronica.

Princess Knight pointed at the battlefield with her long sword: "Rush down the ramp on the left and attack the monster's flank. If you can use your powerful explosion magic to temporarily block the condensation of the chaos breath, we can open a gap. I will do it before that. Send a signal to the fortress. As long as the fortress defenders still have the most basic military literacy, this cooperation will be successful. We will rush into the safe zone and the flow of chaos power will be disrupted."

Hao Ren didn’t quite understand what “the flow of chaotic power” meant, but he believed that Veronica was an expert in this field, so he agreed to the plan, but he was still a little curious: “You’re really not afraid at all. "

"Nearly all the cowards have died in the past seven years," Veronica smiled brightly and raised her sword, "The barrier will eventually collapse, but not today!"

The knights roared in unison: "The barrier will eventually collapse, but not today!"
