Chapter 674 Ice Wind Battlefield
The war has entered a fierce stage.
Duanmuhuai swung his war hammer, knocking down a frost giant that was trying to break through the fortress to the ground, and then looked forward. More than an hour has passed since the battle began. For now, the fortress can still hold on. The races that attacked the fortress were frost giants, ice wolves and a large number of goblins. Their tactics are very simple. The frost giants are responsible for attacking the city walls and gates, trying to create a gap in them, while countless white ice wolves are scurrying around like a surging tide, attracting the goblins. Defender's attention.
On Ruminas' side, facing the attack of the monster army, he seemed to be advancing and retreating in a controlled manner. The mages chanted magic, and once a frost giant approached, they would be knocked to the ground by blazing fireballs. The knights held their shields high to block the edge of the fortress wall, holding shields and sharp blades to fight the goblin ice wolves that came up.
"This kind of fighting is so boring."
Qianwei's figure flashed, and then disappeared. A moment later, she appeared next to Duanmu Huai, and the goblin and ice wolf between them fell to the ground and turned into corpses. A cold corpse.
"Master, isn't there something more fun?"
"I think you can change your weapon."
Duanmu Huai glanced at the dagger in Qiaowei's hand, which she had picked up in the Dark Area. Although Duanmuhuai didn't know why Qianwei didn't use silk threads and puppets to fight like Ogis, but in this situation , the role of a thief profession is indeed limited.
"I want to, but I don't know what to use. Anyway, I don't want to be like my sister."
"Then there's nothing we can do."
A frost giant roared and crashed towards the city wall. Duanmu Huai swung it casually, and saw the thunder hammer flying directly from Duanmu Huai's hand and hitting the frost giant's face. The thunder and lightning that broke out were as dense as a spider web. In an instant, all the enemies around him were turned into a pile of pitch-black charcoal.
"How about I give you a new mission, and you go see what's going on behind these monsters."
"Behind?"
"Yes, the army must have a commander. This is just the beginning. Although I am not sure whether this monster army has a commander, but what if it does?"
"Okay then."
After hearing Duanmu Huai's request, Qi Wei nodded.
"By the way, if there is a commander, can I kill it?"
"Of course no problem."
"Understood."
The moment the words fell, Qiao Wei's figure flashed and disappeared.
At the same time, someone shouted.
"The enemy has climbed onto the west wall!!!"
Perhaps due to negligence or too tired from the battle, Ruminas's knights gradually began to be unable to resist the attacks of the monsters. The ice wolves roared and jumped up, their sharp claws directly grabbing the frozen The wall jumped up to the city wall in twos and twos. The goblin sitting on the back of the ice wolf screamed in victory. The Luminas knights raised their shields again, trying to force these intruders onto the city wall. Drive down.
However, at this moment, a white figure appeared from the crowd.
Alleria holds a long sword in her hand. She is as dazzling and luxurious as a flower blooming on the battlefield. Her movements are as light as petals flying in the snowstorm, and she rushes into the enemy with the violent wind and waves. The shining sword light bloomed in an instant, and it was as luxurious and elegant as a work of art, intoxicating people.
However, the ice wolves and goblins obviously had different opinions on this, but it was a pity that they had not had time to express their dissatisfaction. With the sword light, blood marks burst out from their bodies, and then the ice wolves and goblins The rider simply fell to the ground and died.
Ovelia withdrew her sword, and not even a trace of blood could be seen on her pure white shirt. The Ruminas knights also took advantage of this opportunity to surge forward again and regained the position they had almost lost.
"Your Highness!!"
The black-haired maid hurried over, the sword in her hand was stained with blood, but the black-haired maid obviously didn't care about this now.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
Ovelia shook her head.
"Is the defense okay?"
"It's pretty solid. To be honest, I didn't expect it to last until now."
"Yeah..."
Ovelia understood what her maid was saying. The monster army was attacking continuously, but Luminas could only rely on the city walls and fortress for defense. The cold stone walls may not be tiring, but people have their limits. Under such a reckless onslaught by the monster army, they were able to hold on until now without collapsing...
"It seems that inviting Mr. Judge to fight together is the right decision." As she said this, Alleria turned her head and looked at the city gate - Duanmu Huai was too lazy to fight with the intruders on the city wall. Playing a game of cat and mouse, he took over the entire front entrance of the fortress by himself. He didn't even stand on the fortress wall, but jumped directly to the gate, waving his war hammer to block the waves of monster attacks. Wherever his thunder war hammer swept, accompanied by shining thunder and lightning, Large numbers of monsters died subsequently. Even the frost giant, who was taller than Duanmuhuai, was no match for this steel warrior.
"Roar————!!"
A frost giant grabbed the trunk of a big tree and smashed it directly towards Duanmuhuai. Duanmuhuai, on the other hand, did not dodge at all. Faced with the oncoming tree trunk, he roared angrily and struck out with a hammer with his backhand, directly smashing the tree trunk in the hands of the frost giant into two pieces. Then he rushed forward and reached the frost giant. In front of him, the thunder hammer roared and tore through the storm. The snow hit the frost giant's knees hard, and then he saw the frost giant's entire right leg explode completely, and the frost giant, which had lost its balance and limbs, screamed and fell to the ground - and then his head fell to the ground. It was directly blown into pieces by Duanmu Huai.
Compared with Alleria, who was pure white and flawless, with not even a drop of blood on her cloak, Duanmu Huai was now covered in blood, with dark red blood staining his pitch-black armor and the aquila pattern on his golden skull. It looks like a demon walking in the world.
Ogis followed Duanmu Huai as usual. She still rarely moved. She just shook her fingers slightly. The invisible threads formed a fishing net, stopping all the fish trying to swim down the river and directly catching them. Cut into sashimi.
Frankly speaking, Duanmu Huai and Ojisi together are even worth a Knights of Ruminas.
"Hmph."
The black-haired maid snorted dissatisfied. She didn't like Duanmuhuai at all, but the fact is here. If Duanmuhuai hadn't guarded the gate, then I'm afraid this ice fortress would have been breached long ago.
"How long does the fleet have?"
"I don't know, but they will come today."
"I hope the fleet will arrive soon."
Speaking of this, Aurelia had a complicated expression in her eyes.
"Perhaps they will arrive soon, if we can survive this wave of attacks."
Duanmuhuai repelled a wave of enemies again and looked back at Alleria.
He always felt that there was something wrong with Alleria, not to mention this illogical behavior of inviting him to participate in the battle. Even her performance in the battle is very strange. Indeed, judging from normal circumstances, Alleria is considered to be the vanguard at the moment, and she also tries her best in the battle. She can be regarded as a loyal girl who fulfills her duties. knight. But Duanmuhuai's instinct as a judge didn't see it that way. He always felt that Alleria was acting. What she did was not really to defeat these monster armies, but more like a show for Lu. The Knights of Minas watched it like a performance, just to let them see that they were fighting hard.
Just act like it. It's like when your boss comes to you and you're busy at your desk, acting like you have a lot of important things you want to accomplish, but in fact it's all in vain. .
This is also the reason why Duanmu Huai did not immediately unleash all his strength to defeat the monster army. Of course he could do it, but Duanmu Huai did not intend to do so. Alleria's degeneration into a dark swordsman is a story that players love to hear. Many second-generation novels use this as a theme. After all, the evil degeneration and so on...well, it is indeed exciting.
But in fact, based on the Inquisitor's experience, there are generally two types of fallen betrayers.
One kind has long had the idea of treason, and the fall is just a matter of course.
The other type didn't originally have such an idea, but finally succeeded due to the enemy's various conspiracies.
Players have always believed that Alleria is the second type, so most of the books are drawn based on this aspect.
But for now, Duanmuhuai suspects that it is probably the first type.
Alleria's performance and what she said seemed to be false. Although she was working hard to defend the fortress, in Duanmu Huai's eyes, she only emphasized the "effort" part. As for whether the fortress itself was Being able to defend it, Alleria didn't seem particularly concerned - 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. According to common sense, with Alleria's status, she should stop the monster army from attacking the fortress at all costs and sacrifice everything. No matter how many people she sacrificed, she could not hesitate.
Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case now.
Duanmuhuai wanted to see how Alleria would behave if the fortress was breached, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up the idea. Duanmuhuai also hoped to find a group of talents in Ruminas territory to help. As for internal affairs, if the monster breaks through the fortress and goes deep into Ruminas, then my trip will be in vain.
However, at this moment, suddenly, a fierce roar came, which made Duanmuhuai and the knights fighting on the city wall raise their heads and look to the sky. Then they saw a huge white shadow flying out from the clouds in the dark, gloomy sky with heavy clouds, rushing toward them.
That’s…………
"Dragon!!!"
Amidst the screams of the knights, a giant dragon about the same size as the fortress descended from the sky. It opened its mouth and launched a fierce attack on the fortress - the biting cold wind howled past, and the leading knights did not even have time to escape. , 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, with an angry scolding, Duanmuhuai saw Alleria leaping up, flying out from the city wall, holding a long sword in his hand and stabbing straight at the dragon in front of him. Her expression was extremely resolute, and her whole body seemed like a dazzling white flower in full bloom at this moment.
Seeing this scene, Ruminas' soldiers immediately cheered and their morale was boosted.
However, only Duanmuhuai saw the indifference and numbness in Aurelia's eyes.
