Chapter 672 Ice Wind Battlefield
The war has entered a fierce stage.
Duanmu Huai swung his warhammer, knocked down a frost giant trying to break through the fortress, and then looked forward. More than an hour has passed since the start of the battle. For now, the fortress can continue to hold on. The races attacking the fortress are frost giants, ice wolves and swarms of goblins. Their tactics are quite simple. The frost giants are responsible for attacking the city walls and gates, trying to make a gap in them, while countless white ice wolves are scurrying around like a surging tide, attracting the goblins together. Defender's attention.
On Luminas' side, facing the attack of the monster army, it seems that it has a certain degree of advance and retreat. The mages chanted magic, and once a frost giant approached, they would be knocked to the ground by flaming fireballs. The knights held their shields high to block the edge of the fortress wall, holding shields and sharp knives to fight the goblin ice wolves rushing up.
"This kind of battle is really boring."
Yanwei's figure flashed, and then disappeared without a trace. A moment later, she appeared beside Duanmu Huai, and the goblin and ice wolf who were separated between the two fell to the ground at this time, turning into a figure. Cold corpse.
"Master, isn't there anything more fun?"
"I think you can change your weapon."
Duanmuhuai glanced at the dagger in Yanwei's hand. It was something she had touched in the dark area. Although Duanmuhuai didn't know why Yanwei didn't manipulate the silk thread and dolls to fight like Augis, but on this occasion , the role of a thief-like occupation is indeed limited.
"I want to, too, but I don't know what to use. Anyway, I don't want to be like my elder sister."
"Then there's no way."
A frost giant roared and ran towards the city wall, Duanmuhuai flicked it casually, and saw the thunder hammer flying out of Duanmuhuai's hand, directly hitting the face of the frost giant, the burst of thunder and lightning was as dense as a spider's web, In an instant, all the enemies around were turned into a pile of pitch-black coke.
"How about I send you another mission, you go and see what's going on behind these monsters."
"later?"
"Yes, there must be a commander in the army. This is just the beginning. Although I am not sure if this monster army has a commander, what if there is?"
"Oh well."
Hearing Duanmuhuai's request, Yan Wei nodded.
"By the way, if there is a commander, can I kill it?"
"No problem at all."
"clear."
The moment the voice fell, Yan Wei's figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, someone shouted.
"The enemy has climbed the west wall!!"
Perhaps due to negligence, or due to exhaustion from fighting, the knights of Luminas gradually began to be unable to withstand the attacks of the monsters. The ice wolves roared and jumped up, their sharp claws directly grabbed the frozen ground. The wall, just jumped up the city wall in twos and threes, the goblin sitting on the back of the ice wolf let out a scream of victory, and the Luminas knights raised their shields again, trying to drive away the invaders who forcibly climbed onto the city wall. Drive down.
However, at this moment, a white figure appeared from the crowd.
Aurelia held the long sword in her hand. She was as dazzling and luxurious as a blooming flower on the battlefield. Her movements were as light as petals flying in a blizzard, and she rushed into the enemy with the violent wind and waves. The shining sword light bloomed in an instant, luxurious and elegant like a work of art, which fascinated people.
However, those ice wolves and goblins obviously have different opinions on this, but it is a pity that they have not had time to express their dissatisfaction. With the sudden flash of sword light, bloodstains burst from their bodies, and then the ice wolves and goblins The rider just fell to the ground and died.
Ovelia withdrew her long sword, not even a trace of blood on her pure white shirt. And the Luminas knights also took advantage of this opportunity to rush forward again, regaining the position they had almost lost.
"Your Highness!"
The black-haired maid hurried over, the long sword in her hand was stained with blood, but the black-haired maid obviously didn't care about this now.
"Are you all right?"
"I'm fine."
Ovelia shook her head.
"Is the line of defense okay?"
"It's pretty solid. To be honest, I didn't expect to be able to persist until now."
"yes………"
Ovelia understood what her maid was talking about, the monster army was attacking continuously, and Luminas could only rely on the city walls and fortresses to defend. The cold stone walls may not make you tired, but people have limits. Under such a reckless onslaught by the monster army, they were able to hold on until now without collapsing...
"It seems that it is the right decision to invite Mr. Inquisitor to fight together."
While speaking, Aurelia turned her head to look at the city gate—Duanmu Huai was too lazy to play cat and mouse with those intruders on the city wall, and he contracted the entire main gate of the fortress by himself. He didn't even stand on the wall of the fortress, but jumped directly to the gate, waving his warhammer to block the wave after wave of attacks of monsters. Wherever his thunder hammer swept, accompanied by flashing thunder and lightning, A large number of monsters then died. Even the Frost Giant, who was taller than Duanmu Huai, was no match for this Iron Warrior.
"Roar---!"
A frost giant grabbed the trunk of a big tree and smashed it down **** Duanmuhuai. Duanmuhuai, on the other hand, did not hide or dodge at all. Facing the oncoming tree trunk, he roared and blasted out with a backhand hammer, directly smashing the tree trunk in the hands of the frost giant into two pieces. Then he rushed forward and came to the frost giant. In front of him, the thunder hammer roared and tore through the blizzard, and slammed heavily on the frost giant's knee, and then saw the frost giant's entire right leg explode completely, and the frost giant lost its balance and limbs, screaming and falling down. On the ground - then his head was smashed into pieces by Duanmuhuai.
Compared with Aurelia, who was pure white and flawless, not even a single drop of blood was stained on the cloak, Duanmu Huai was covered in blood, and the dark red blood was stained on his pitch-black armor and the golden skull pattern of the eagle. It looks like a demon walking in the world.
Augis followed Duanmuhuai as usual, she still seldom moved, just swayed her fingers slightly, and the invisible silk thread formed a fishing net, stopping all the fish trying to go down the river, and directly caught them Sliced into sashimi.
Frankly speaking, the combination of Duanmu Huai and Augis is even worth a Luminas Knights.
"snort."
The black-haired maid snorted dissatisfiedly. She didn't like Duanmuhuai at all, but the fact is that if Duanmuhuai hadn't been guarding the gate, the frozen fortress would have been breached by now.
"How long is the fleet?"
"I don't know, but they're bound to come today."
"I hope the fleet will arrive soon."
Speaking of this, Aurelia's eyes showed a complex expression.
"Perhaps they will arrive soon, if we can survive this wave of attacks."
Duanmuhuai repelled a wave of enemies again, and looked back at Aurelia.
He always felt that there was something wrong with Aurelia, not to mention this illogical act of inviting herself to join the battle. Even her performance in the battle was weird. Indeed, from the perspective of normal circumstances, Aurelia right now can be regarded as the first soldier, and she is doing her best in the battle. She can be regarded as a dedicated princess. knight. But Duan Muhuai's intuition as a judge doesn't see it that way. He always feels that Aurelia is acting. What the Minas knights watched was like a performance, in order to let them see that they were fighting hard.
Just act like that, it's like when your boss comes to you and you're hustling at your desk, it looks like you have a lot of important things to get done, but in reality it's all fussing .
This is also the reason why Duanmu Huai didn't explode all his strength to defeat the monster army immediately. Of course he could do it, but Duanmu Huai didn't intend to do it. Aurelia's fall into a dark swordsman is also a popular story among players, and many second-generation books use this as the theme. After all, evil fall or something... Well, it is indeed exciting.
But in fact, based on the experience of judges, there are generally two types of fallen traitors.
One is the idea of betrayal, and the degeneration is just a matter of course.
The other one didn't have such an idea at first, but finally succeeded under the enemy's various conspiracy tracks.
Players have always believed that Aurelia is the second type, so most of the books are drawn according to this aspect.
But as far as the current situation is concerned, Duanmuhuai suspects that it is very likely to be the first one.
Alleria's performance and what she said seemed to be false. Although she was trying to defend the fortress, in Duanmuhuai's eyes, she only focused on the "effort" part, and as for whether the fortress itself Aurelia didn't seem to be particularly concerned about being able to defend it—as if it didn't matter if the fortress was breached.
This is obviously wrong. As a ruler, what matters is the result, not the process. Judging by common sense, as Aurelia, she should stop the monster army from breaking through the fortress at all costs and at all costs. No matter how many people are sacrificed, she cannot hesitate.
Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case now.
Duanmuhuai wanted to see what Aurelia would do if the fortress was breached, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up this idea. Duanmuhuai also hoped to find a group of talents to help in the Luminas territory As for internal affairs, if the monster breaks through the fortress and goes deep into the country of Luminas, then his trip will be in vain.
However, at this moment, suddenly, a ferocious roar came, which made Duanmu Huai and the knights fighting on the city wall raise their heads involuntarily, and looked towards the sky. Then they saw in the dark and gloomy sky covered with dark clouds, a huge white shadow rushed out of the clouds and rushed towards them.
That is………
"Dragon!!"
Amidst the screams of the knights, a giant dragon about the size of the fortress descended from the sky. It opened its mouth and launched a fierce surprise attack on the fortress—the biting cold wind whizzed past, and the leading knights didn’t even have time to dodge. It was turned into an ice sculpture by the bone-chilling cold. Then the dragon waved its wings again and raised its head again...
"Evil dragon, prepare to die!!"
However, at this moment, accompanied by an angry reprimand, Duanmu Huai saw Aurelia jump up, fly out from the city wall, and stab the dragon in front of her with a long sword. Her expression was extremely resolute, and at this moment, her whole body seemed to be a dazzling white flower in full bloom.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers of Luminas immediately cheered and their morale was boosted.
However, only Duanmu Huai saw the indifference and numbness in Aurelia's eyes.
