I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones
Page 213
Jonah laughed to himself.
"What's worse?"
Lu Juan subconsciously blurted out the question, but soon realized it by himself.
"If the defense is destroyed, it will take less than an hour for Yongye's family to devour the people in this fortress, not to mention that with the cold wind, the plague may have already sneaked in. Even if the frost does not appear, relying on these two demons alone outpost of the tide, we would lose more than a third of our men."
Jonah utters brutal numbers.
"I need to go to garrison, the mage still has some effect at this time."
At this moment, Lu Jian saw, in the boundless darkness, a ray of light lit up.
It was at a position almost level with the Black Castle Fortress, and at a position extremely far away from here, a soaring ray of light cut through the darkness like a sharp sword.
"That's another fortress. There are more than a thousand forts of this size. The number of small fortresses is five times that of this one. These fortresses constitute the final defense line of the Black Tower."
Along with Jonah's words, more lights lit up into the sky.
Some beams of light are so small that they are almost swallowed by the darkness, while some beams of light are so thick that they can even illuminate some surrounding areas.
If you look down at the Black Forest from a high altitude at this moment, you can see that in the forest that surrounds the lit human civilization area, countless light spots are twinkling and swaying like stars.
These are the stars of human civilization.
"The final defensive spell of the gray tower, once the light is extinguished, the darkness will completely engulf us. In other words, if any light is extinguished, it means that the fortress has fallen."
Jonah was already walking up the stairs.
Lu Jian followed.
The wolf howled again.
"Eternal Night can't break through this spell, but Frost can, and tangible things can directly destroy the fortress. That's why we are guarding here."
Jonah came to the hall above the fortress.
In addition to the mages, there are also the commanders of the fortress. Lu Jian saw that the commanders of the former sentry troops were also among them.
In the center of the hall, there are three stone high-backed chairs facing each other.
On the high-back chair, three mages were already sitting.
It's just that they are not like leaders, more like
Lu Jian saw that the young mage's face was full of pain and contortion, his eyes turned white, his whole body twitched, and he almost let himself sit on the bench with his last will.
His body was burning.
The silver-white flame was made of the mage's body. It had no temperature, but it lit up the hall.
The three flames ascended staggeredly and rushed straight to the dome, where the flames and light were released, broke through the fortress, and rushed upwards.
Lu Jian now knows how the beams of light that shelter the fortress are produced.
Ask for a recommendation ticket, a monthly ticket!
===267. Firewood===
The pale flames burned the exposed skin of these mages. The normal skin was now cracked, revealing the hideous wounds underneath, and the blood was transpiring and swallowed by the flames.
These flames burn quietly, as if using these mages as firewood to maintain a bonfire.
This must be extremely painful torture, Lu Jian thought, the expressions on the faces of those mages were even more terrifying than monsters, it was the fear that humans showed after being ravaged by extreme pain, their limbs trembled unceasingly, the flames Like bursting out of their bodies, flowing from the wounds, burning from the bones.
Lu Jian has seen human beings wrapped in flames and dying in pain in the documentary before. In fact, many people did not really die from the fire, but more from the suffocation caused by the exhaustion of oxygen. Before being burned alive, they were all Suffocated.
Even if they escaped from the flames, the infection caused by extensive skin burns would be fatal, and the wounded would die of hatred amidst endless torment and pain.
And now, these mages are suffering from such inhuman torture.
At the same time, Lu Jian saw that the armor on their bodies was emitting a faint light.
It's just that these armors are not for them to resist the attack of the flames, but to firmly imprison their bodies on the high-back chairs, preventing them from leaving the seats because they really can't bear it.
"Is this the fate of a mage?"
Lu Jian couldn't help but sigh.
"You may not know that one hour defined by the Gray Tower refers to the time it takes for a mage to sit on the torch until it is completely burned."
Jonah looked at those tortured colleagues, the firelight reflected on his face, and there was a kind of magical color.
"When we chose the path of mage, we had already expected such an ending."
It seems that a mage couldn't bear this kind of torture anymore. He opened his mouth and tried to scream, but his throat had already been burned, and the flesh and blood exposed on his neck had been turned into coke, and only air flowed through, making the flames more vigorous.
"In the big fortress, a torch made up of three mages can resist monsters for an hour, and in a smaller stronghold, a torch made up of a mage can withstand it for an hour."
Jonah is doing simple math problems.
During the three-day demon tide, three mages died every hour in the Black Castle Fortress.
And there are hundreds of such fortresses.
In one wave of magic, tens of thousands of mages may fall in the Kingdom of the Night.
This kind of magic tide, at least once a year, has lasted for thousands of years.
Lu Jian didn't count how many mages died in the process.
These transcendental beings who possess extraordinary power and are powerful in other foreign lands, but in fact, when the tide of magic comes, they can only be regarded as consumables like firewood.
If the rangers of the Black Tower are ordinary people who have difficulty controlling their own destiny, then the mages of the Gray Tower are extraordinary people whose fate has already been determined.
What is even more desperate is that even after such a price has been paid, the land of the Kingdom of the Night is still decreasing every year, and the Black Forest gradually covers the entire continent, and with the simultaneous appearance of the three demon tides this time, the defense line of the Black Tower May be completely broken.
Thousands of sacrifices, in the end, only delayed the end of the destruction a little bit.
Just like the resistance at Fort Black at this moment.
Even if it can resist once or twice, this fortress will eventually fall.
Everything is futile.
Suddenly, a wolf howl sounded.
This wolf howl was far louder than anything he had heard before, it made one's heart tremble and one instinctively felt fear.
Lu Yi hurriedly left the hall and came to the window.
The rangers stationed had trembling legs and could hardly stand up.
Lu Jian saw the thing through the window through the gap between the stones.
In that eternal night, under the blood moon, stood a giant wolf.
The size of this wolf has surpassed the imagination of ordinary people.
Towering like a mountain, its existence is like an eternal thing in this world. Just seeing that figure is enough to make people give up resistance.
It is simply unmatched, and it is what should exist in this world.
From Lu Lian's point of view, the back of the giant wolf has already touched the blood moon. It is silver in color and shines in the eternal darkness. look.
Those dark red eyes were like red moons hanging high in the sky, exuding a demonic and coquettish glow.
Winter wolf, master of frost!
"I want to fight this guy and take its heart?"
Lu Jian suddenly felt that this task was simply nonsense.
For such a big creature, the heart is probably a circle bigger than that of Lu Jianren. Even if he can find a way to shoot it to make it unable to move, where will Lu Juan get the time to take its heart?
Not to mention there are two other demon tides.
If there is only Frost, Lu Juan thinks there is still something to be done, but whether it is Yong Ye or the plague, Lu Juan can't easily solve it.
He saw countless small dust shake off from the huge winter wolf.
Those things that look like small dust from a distance are actually giant wolves.
Those winter wolves were as tall as small buildings, with silver-gray fur and four eyes.
From those next-level winter wolves, more little wolves jumped down.
In the blink of an eye, the winter wolves formed a silver-white wave.
This wave is not just what Lu Yi saw before him, but the entire Kingdom of the Night and the entire Black Forest appeared at the same time.
If you were wandering outside of this world at this moment, looking down from a very high position, you would be able to see a streak of silver frost appearing on the pitch-black and deep land, and gathering towards the only remaining settlement of human civilization.
Wherever the silver frost passes, everything freezes, even the air becomes ice crystals.
Lu Jian's breath had turned into a pure white weapon. He saw frost spreading from the outside of the fortress along the windows. Before those winter wolves arrived at the fortress, the outermost fortress of Blackcastle might be completely frozen .
At this time, Lu Jian heard a horn.
It was the horn from the dome. At first it seemed that the breathing was unstable, but as it was played, the sound became louder and louder, and it actually gave people the feeling of howling a winter wolf.
The next moment, Lu Jian saw that a huge stone was thrown from above the fortress.
Those stones radiated light, illuminating the eternal night around them.
boom -
The stone fell to the ground and fell into the tide of frost, which immediately made several gaps in the surge.
But the gap was quickly filled, without any sign of abating.
Moreover, these winter wolves did not charge forward in one wave.
In the place covered by frost, those ice crystals are growing more winter wolves, and there is an endless supply.
At this moment, many people can't imagine that the area of the silver-white part of the Black Forest has far exceeded the area of the only unpolluted land left by humans in the Kingdom of the Night.
Hundreds of millions of winter wolves are rushing towards the fortress of human civilization.
