Chapter 412

Late at night, duanjieshan fortress.

Alone, the little wizard lay on the wall, his exquisite face full of worry, and his sapphire eyes looked at the glacier wasteland shrouded by the night.

It's been almost a month since those two fools left here to look for ned Hogg.

After Conrad de sallion led the army northward, there was no news from those guys - of course, Ayn knew how difficult it was to convey information in the desolate and dead glacial wasteland ravaged by snowstorms.

Sometimes, no news itself... Is the best news.

Gently rubbing his cold and numb hands, the timid little wizard took out a very exquisite Holy Cross Pendant from his arms - this was a thank-you gift secretly given to her by the Quartermaster and priest who looked very "clean" when she was helping the logistics of duanjie mountain fortress.

Looking at the ancient sakran inscriptions on it, the Sterling Silver Pendant under the moonlight was shining white. The little wizard gently bit his lower lip and put the pendant on his forehead.

"I know I'm not a devout believer, but... My Lord, if your light can really shine through the darkness, please bless those two brainless fools."

"I don't need anything else, as long as I can get them back... I really, really can't imagine what the world would be like without Isaac and Loren."

"Can you hear my voice... Can you hear my voice?"

"Please... Whatever... Please, let them come back."

"I don't have many relatives..."

The little wizard with a low voice nodded slightly, and his thin shoulders trembled constantly.

"Meow ~" the moon shadow cat snuggled up to ayin's side gently rubbed her ankle, and the flashing Ruby pupils stared at her motionless.

"Are you worried about them, Merlin (Ariel)?" the little wizard finally showed a smile on his face, squatted down, hugged the moon shadow cat in his arms, and gently stroked the silky black hair:

"Don't be afraid, people just think too much, and those two fools won't have an accident." Ayn whispered to her cat and to herself:

"When I was in vimpal, when I was in shenlinbao, as well as ancient wood forest and eboden... These guys just like to let others worry about them for nothing, but they don't even have a little consciousness."

A faint smile floated on ayin's face. Somehow, just holding Meilin (Ariel) in her arms made her feel very warm... It was like a fool around her, laughing at herself lazily.

Really, why think about that guy again?

But it was just an illusion, just a sudden imagination... All I heard was the roar of the snowstorm and the soldiers patrolling back and forth on the wall of the fortress with torches in the distance.

Since Ernst dreisis, the deputy commander of the fortress, begged himself, the guards of the north wall of the fortress, especially the soldiers responsible for night patrols, have been tripled.

All the guards, even the auxiliary soldiers in charge of logistics, were all concentrated. They were armed and trained according to the most standard Army soldiers' costumes. A few sergeants and veterans who had served for more than five years in the fortress were temporarily promoted to Centurion to lead these people with little combat experience.

Even the little wizards and the weak alchemists got a heavy sword from the Legion soldiers - although Ayn wanted them to give himself a bow and arrow.

Arrows, armor, halberds, shields, bows and crossbows, catapults, catapults, incendiaries, oil... All kinds of large ordnance and materials were placed on the north wall, which was once solid.

The little wizard still has a vivid memory. The middle-aged Knight named Ernst mobilized 500 barrels of asphalt a day, and then assigned a task of 100 barrels of igniter; There is no form requirement. The only "requirement" is to put it in front of him in one day.

Day after day, in order to maintain high-intensity training and armament, Ernst dreisis almost squandered the inventory of the fortress of duanjieshan without a bottom line... Even an alchemist secretly told her that the deputy commander even planned to completely seal the gate of the fortress with ice water and steel bars.

Of course, he finally gave up.

According to the reason the middle-aged Knight told her, it was to ensure the safety of Prince sakran during the Northern Expedition and guard against the possible invasion of demons.

But the little wizard knew that it was just an excuse... In the ancient wood forest and the big tree wall, she had seen with her own eyes what war was or should be.

Just to resist thousands of Ogres, the elves of the ancient wood forest have done their best and made great sacrifices in exchange for the final victory... So what will happen to the fortress of duanjie mountain in the face of evil gods and demons?

Ernst dreisis is not on guard against the invasion of demons in the north, but he is very sure that those demons are about to invade the north, and tens of thousands of monsters will appear in front of them anytime and anywhere.

"Woo - - - - - - - - - -!!"

The melodious horn suddenly came from the fortress behind, which stunned the little wizard who was still looking at the glacier wasteland.

When she turned back, she saw a war fortress illuminated by countless fires!

In a moment, groups of Legion soldiers holding torches passed quickly up and down the wall; The crossbow men squatted by the crenel with their arrow bags on their backs; Under the command of the officers, the engineers operated the catapults and catapults, including loading ammunition; Under the light of fire, the Legion soldiers quickly formed a square on the playground under the city wall.

There was no expression, no command, no scream or any sound of speaking - only the white fog between breathing, the orderly sound of steps and the sound of gear rotation.

When the little wizard came back, the huge "war machine" was fully armed, and the flag of iron crown was set up at the top of almost all the towers to hunt in the snowstorm!

For a moment, looking at those expressionless Legion soldiers, ayin suddenly had an inexplicable sense of security and pride, tightly pursed the corners of her mouth, and a trace of different emotion appeared in her sapphire like eyes.

This is the northern gate that the sakran empire is proud of. The fortress of duanjie mountain, which has never been broken down under the invasion of demons for 12 generations, will never fall!

With the sound of heavy footsteps, Ernst dreisis, heavily armed, was riding on a northern war horse, holding an iron crown flag in his hand. He looked dignified and looked at the Legion soldiers under each wall:

"For twelve generations, since his majesty Eckhart I, the northern Legion has adhered to the fortress of duanjie mountain. For twelve generations, after nine invasions, it has never failed!"

"In the blood skeleton Valley and duanjie mountain, on the spiral peak, we won the nine invasions of those damn monsters! And tonight we will also defeat them!"

"Now, the monsters who fought with your ancestors and your parents are just outside the city wall, on the glacier wasteland close at hand."

"In those days, I fought side by side with your parents under his majesty Eckhart II. I still remember their names and looks."

"Will you disgrace your ancestors? Are you going to disgrace your parents - I won't agree or never agree. Even if there are thousands, we will fight to the end."

"This is the fortress of duanjie mountain, and we are the guards of duanjie mountain; we will defeat them as many times as they attack!"

Ernst pulled out his sword and shouted at the soldiers: "let them remember that as long as the main peak of duanjie mountain has not fallen, as long as there is a soldier standing, and as long as there is a flag, they will never cross our wall!!!!!"

"Under the light of the Holy Cross..." the middle-aged Knight raised his sword blade and responded to the sound of countless swords coming out of their scabbards and bows and arrows stringing.

"Tell me, what are you fighting for?"

"For the glory of sakran ---- ----!!!!!!!!!"
