If the fortress of duanjie mountain is the northern border of the Empire, the land north of duanjie mountain is a hell that does not exist and is "ruled" by Blizzard and cold.

The north wind roaring like a blade, mixed with hard ice particles; The sight is full of looming snow mountains and thick white fog, magnificent and extremely desolate.

Along the way of generations of Fortress legions for hundreds of years, the team holding the iron crown flag stepped into the "remains" of the ancient dragon kingdom.

No matter what great civilization has been born on this land, and a powerful kingdom that has ruled the whole world has risen; Now it is only a desolate to only a piece of snow, withered to the point that even a cedar can't survive, a dead frozen land.

Following the Legion soldiers marching in line, Loren, who grabbed the reins, rode his steady northern horse, looked around with all his eyes and enjoyed the rare landscape in front of him.

Of course, the premise is that you can't hear the two "noises" behind you.

"I still don't believe you've been here at the age of 11, and you've been a flag commander in only two or three years?"

Shivering, Isaac Grantham on his horse clung to the reins, but he was still dishonest. With an unbelievable expression, he stared at Lucian, who was leisurely and complacent beside him. He only held the reins with his left hand: "seriously, with your present head, you were not as tall as a sword?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I almost forgot that you're from El Mans. Let's start over again - you shouldn't be as tall as an EL mans dagger?"

Hearing his words, Lucian, who immediately reacted, smiled without anger: "Hahahahahaha... Yes, compared with the lottel mountain people like you monkeys, we city people in elmand are really small!"

"Oh, roar... Nice catch!" Isaac's eyes lit up: "great, I'm beginning to understand why Lauren had to work so hard to get you out."

"Well... You are Lord Loren's friend and I'm his escort, so I don't want to spoil your interest." Lucian shrugged his shoulders and the gray pupil boy looked indifferent: "but you're right. When I first came, I wasn't as tall as a knight's sword."

"It's nothing. Don't worry. You're still young after all!" Isaac quickly comforted: "you're precocious and grow fast in the average height of your ellemans."

Loren, who was in front of him, resisted the impulse to turn around and make complaints about him.

"But although I'm not as tall as a sword, I'll be the second-class sergeant of the regiment in a year." grey Tong continued to joke: "then I became the flag head of the second flag regiment!"

"Really?" Isaac's expression was very puzzling: "those big men with big five and three thick brains were not convinced when they saw you so small?"

"Of course not, they soon recognized my command ability and inherent prestige, and it was no more difficult to tame them than to tame a few mountain monkeys." Lucian's mouth flashed a proud arc:

"Especially after I put down twenty big men with full brains with my bare hands, they were more convinced - let me remind you that each of them can put down at least two dozen like you!"

"A dozen twelve, each of them can take down twenty-four Isaac Grantham, you can take down twenty of them, convert... You... Can kill 480 at the same time, like me?"

Isaac looked like a fool and stared at Lucian: "don't tease me, will you? I can fill you in 480 pits with spittle stars!"

"..." Lucian.

"..." Lauren.

"Wait, let me understand a little." Isaac frowned slightly and looked disdainfully. "Were you trying to threaten me - because if so, it would be quite non deterrent. You'd better change it."

"... well, you asked for it." the smile on Lucian's face was extremely stiff:

"Let me put it another way. Do you know why Lord Loren saved me from the dungeon?"

"I'm not sure, because you can fight very well?" Isaac raised his eyebrows deliberately. "Can you fight 480 like me?"

"No, because I'm the only one who knows the way to niederhogg." a childlike smile appeared on the handsome face of the gray pupil boy.

"..." Isaac's expression froze for a moment.

For a moment of peace, Lorraine walking in front could even hear the roar of the north wind.

"I'm sorry, I'm wrong. I'm really wrong. I shouldn't have satirized your height in the beginning. I didn't mean to bully you when you were young, because it looks very interesting... Do you think it's acceptable to apologize to you like this?"

"..." Lucian.

"..." Lauren.

I didn't feel it when I was at duanjieshan fortress, but now Loren found that the two people really hit it off.

"In four days, we'll reach the blood skeleton valley." Lucian accelerated a little, rode to the front and ran parallel with the black haired wizard, pointing to the white one in the distance:

"In front is the last sentry tower of duanjieshan fortress and the last place for us to repair. The team should stop there for a day and let the Rangers investigate the situation nearby."

At the moment when the voice of the grey pupil boy fell, Loren clearly saw a trace of sadness from his eyes.

Wait, he just said the last sentry tower, is it difficult

"Yes, you guessed right." noticing the change of the black haired wizard's expression, the heavy looking Lucian nodded quietly and bit his lips:

"The last time the search team encountered the invading demons there, it was all destroyed. That's why I was regarded as a deserter by the fortress!"

"So it is..." Lauren's face changed and his eyes glanced at Lucian who lowered his head beside him: "then... I mean, what happened on the day they were attacked?"

If this unexpected attack is the source of everything, then if we can further understand what happened, we may be able to see the truth behind it.

"... I arrived after everything was over, one day later than the Legion who came to reinforce later."

In the face of the black haired wizard's question, Lucian's expression was very complex: "but I can guarantee that no matter what happened, it was definitely not a small group of wandering ice werewolves who besieged the sentry tower, but an army of demons!"

"An army of demons?"

"The sentry tower of duanjieshan fortress, especially the important stronghold like the sentry tower of blood skeleton Valley, generally has very good protective measures and sufficient reserves, with at least ten Rangers and half a hundred troops; if you include the temporary search team, there are at least two hundred troops veterans in the sentry tower."

"With such a tight defense, it is impossible to attack easily without three times the force."

"But that's it. When they were attacked, they didn't even notice that any of the messenger Rangers escaped. They were killed silently! That's all..."

It's impossible... Lauren frowned, too.

"The sentry tower was almost destroyed. There were traces of bloody battles, paoze's bones and the remains of those monsters everywhere. It was like a sudden and unprovoked siege."

"So tragic... We can't even put all the broken bodies together!"

With a slight sigh, Lucian murmured calmly, "so the reinforcements who came to the reinforcement thought that we deserters didn't report to the fortress in time, which killed everyone - even the rangers who didn't have time to send for help."

Indeed... It's very clear at a glance, if it's really what they think

But in fact, Lucian was not in the blood skeleton Valley at that time, but on the way back from the discovery of niederhogg. It was impossible to find the sudden enemy, so there was no so-called investigation.

In other words... There is another secret that the sentry tower is completely destroyed, and for some reason they can't even find the sudden demon army, and they don't even have time to react?

Loren squeezed the reins and squinted at the nearby blood skeleton Valley sentry tower in the distance.

He needs to know more!
