The Amber Sword

A small group of Krutz knights climbed down a steep glacial cliff and slowly approached Yuki's body. The body was nailed to the ground in a strange position by the huge impact of the arrows. The dead spirit was already dead, a black hole in the orbit, and the fire of the soul was extinguished.

The leading knight took a breath and weaved a thin white mist in the cold canyon with a warm breath, quickly blending into the surrounding ice mist.

The pack of wolves had long since retreated, and there were still some corpses, bloodstains and broken feather arrows all around them. The canyon was somewhat creepy and he should have confirmed Yuxi's death and returned immediately, but the strange silence made him look around.

In a trance, he seemed to see something standing deep in the canyon, a pony-sized beast standing behind a mist with no wind in its hair.

He startled and looked at it, but found it empty. The beast that was originally thought to be nothing more than the mist that floated in the deep valley, but even so, the knight had to be scared of a cold sweat.

After a brief ambush war, the canyon was plunged into this bizarre atmosphere, and the current situation seems to be worse than when they were being pursued by the wolves. The Knight captain took a gentle breath and seemed to be ready to stabilize his emotions. He was a member of the Knights of the Folding Sword Order. The leader of the younger generation of the Krutz could be frightened by a quiet and silent canyon. It was too embarrassing to speak out.

But just as he was about to vent, he realized something was wrong around him.

“Team… Captain…”

A stammering voice sounded behind him, that of his subordinate. The knight looked up and, sometime, a pair of cold, scorched yellow eyes had appeared in front of him.

……

“Wolf...! ”

Pello Jr., Blender Jr., and Nimmasis, all waiting silently for the reassuring news to come back, but they waited for a shocking scream.

“Pfft -” a whisper, a silver monster jumped from somewhere and landed in front of everyone. Son of Pale, the anxiety and anxiety in Freya's heart seems to have become a reality in an instant.

Everyone knows that Youxi is driving the winter wolf forward, and that the one who controls the white son is the silver monster.

Two, three, two, three monsters fell from above, around this Knights of the Cruz, and they neither roared nor rushed in, just around them, with their heads up, looking at these humans with cold eyes.

That look was full of beast wisdom that wasn't supposed to belong, but that's why it was so cold from the bottom of my heart.

Freya first reacted, and she raised her head, her pale brown pupils slightly shrinking towards the dawn, and she saw several white figures flashing at the top of the glacier.

At some point, these pale sons have gone up to them. In other words, while they were still ambushing Yuki with confidence, these monsters had already begun to spread their siege.

How did that happen?

Since late last night, these pale sons and the silver monster have never appeared again. Everyone has assumed that they have separated from Yu Xi, but now they appear to have arrived here one step at a time.

A young girl from Butch has a cold heart. Did the Knights of the Folds lie to her? But what's in it for them?

She shook her head so hard that she threw this ridiculous idea out of her mind, and the Cruz people were not likely to lie about it with her at this moment. That is, their scourge did not see the pale son behind the winter wolf.

She couldn't help but look at Brenda, whose face was also blue and white, and obviously thought of that. After Enica's death, he was the captain of the Knights of the Folds' Repellence Squad, which was obviously missing from his work at the moment.

“Black Blade.” Brenda was furious and yelled.

“Captain, it's not my fault, I swear in the name of the King of Fire that I never saw the presence of a white son among the winter wolves... except for the four heads next to Youxi.” The knight named gave in, explaining in a low voice.

“It's not his fault," Freya sighed at the reaction of the two, hurrying to stop the quarrel in a low voice: "These monsters have gone around us, which means they should at least be here before Yu Xi, but it doesn't make sense, so why are they watching Yu Xi die? ”

“I don't know, it's about that silver monster that contradicts Yuki himself.” Alaia pressed the wound and stared at the monsters shrugging around them.

It's one of the possibilities, but Freya could have thought it wasn't the truth.

“Monster, so many!” The screams are coming from far beneath the canyon, "Little Pero, Blunded, Commander, look out, they're coming at you! ”

Then there was the sound of intense fighting, intertwined with the killing of beasts.

All the Krutz in the front row subconsciously raised their swords in their hands, and the swords flashed bright reflections in the cold air, confronting the teeth of Whitesen, not far from the monster Wolf.

The next moment, there was a sudden scream in the crowd. Everyone turned around and saw when a pale son had come among them, biting off the arm of a sword knight.

The knight covered his bloody broken arm and stabbed the opposite sword into the left eye of the pale son, who also screamed and hurried back.

The knight next to him just went forward to defend his companion.

“Careful, they're invisible!” The knight with the broken arm chewed his teeth and exclaimed.

Everyone's face changed.

“Look around!” Freya shouted that she remembered the tactics of seeing unseen ghosts in the forest, instinctively feeling that these invisible monsters might be fought in the same way.

Indeed, a giant beast suddenly emerged on her left side, like a flowing clear liquid appearing in the air, opening its mouth and biting at her.

But before it could bite, Freya's armor revealed a bright blue light, and Hard Live blocked the pointy teeth from the light wall.

“The wind's back!” Brenda whispered.

And by this time, Nimmasis had taken a step forward, a sword stabbed into the throat of that stunned beast. Since that night, when she met the crystal stag with Brando, with the help of the raw stone of power, her entry had also burst into the country. The flame of gold burned in her body, and her inner eyes were about to give birth to the glow of the elements - and this sword, worthy of the knight's fast-moving annotation since this time, flashed a layer of pale black light that was hard to detect by outsiders, as if it were to destroy the dark magic protection spread outside the white son, a sword pierced the throat of this monster.

As if it had never thought it would be so easy for a giant wolf to die, it struggled and fell down.

“This is the armor he gave you.” Nimaisie pulled the sword back from the wolf's mouth and rubbed it against the silver bristles, asked.

“Mmm...”

“Though the back of the wind armor is made of armor, it is still worth it, and it looks like he cares about you.” Nimaisie replied pointlessly, looking at Freya, with a deep eye that made her heart pound straight.

Freya took a gentle breath. If it weren't for the rear of the wind, the giant wolf would have bitten her entire right shoulder, shoulder blade and chest. She could almost imagine the cold teeth penetrating her body, which was almost certain to die.

Brando saved her one more time, and she couldn't even count herself. This was the first time she had been gracious to that man.

She only woke up after shaking the sword in her hand. Don't overdo it. Try not to make herself look at her strange eyes. She feels like there's something else in there that she doesn't know how to answer.

At this time, the knight and the pale son had been killed together. The raid by the pale son had cost the Cruz a great deal, but it had to be said that thanks to Freya's earlier reminder, otherwise the current situation would not be as simple as the heavy losses.

Yet, even so, the Knights of the Folds scattered for the sudden appearance of monsters. The white sons appearing from the Invisible spell seemed to have surfaced from all sides. The nightmares in these winters were not as weak as those of their close relatives. As a dusk, even after a millennium of debilitation, the Knights of Cruz retained at least the level of power from the Silver Peak to the Golden Primary, and immediately fell into a bitter battle by confronting these intractable adversaries.

Or it's a bitter battle and somewhat inappropriate, because from the very beginning, the young knights of the fold of the sword have been defeated at the festival, gradually losing their form and connection. Freya was swept away with Nimatis, and soon there was only Alaia and Brenda, and even Little Pero, missing.

“Commander, in which direction do we break through?” Alaia asked, squinting her eyes.

Freya shook her head, and all they had to do at the moment was move closer to the middle of the canyon to see if they could gather the others there.

“I still haven't figured out where these damn things came from.” Brenda couldn't help but curse: “Blackblade, there's no way he could have been mistaken, and if that silver monster was near our left, how could it have watched Youxi die? Even if they have a contradiction, it's going to kill us so easily, why play this hidden game with us? ”

“I hear cats have a habit of playing with mice.” Alaia replied.

“It's not a cat, and we're not rats.” Brenda didn't have the guts to clog it back.

Freya listened to the conversation and frowned. She was thinking the same thing in her heart, and she looked up and looked closely at the smooth cut at the top of the glacier, and from time to time the white son jumped from it and fell into the middle of the crowd.

Seeing this scene, she suddenly had an excitement and remembered one thing.

“Brend, do you remember where those giant wolves came from? ”

“Commander, they come from above the glacier, obviously. ”

“No, I mean last night. ”

Blunded's face changed: “In the forest, they come from the forest. ”

“They cannot live in the forest, which is the territory of the winter wolves, and the two wolves cannot live together. If there is such a glacier behind the forest..."

“Wait, Commander, you mean…?” Blunded reacted.

“I remember Brando often told some legends about Death Frost Forest, the center of the forest is a huge maze, that is the Hibernate Temple of Milos, the god of Frost Titans, I suddenly remembered that this is not a glacier, but an outer wall of the Hibernate Temple...”

“These monsters… come from within the temple. ”

“What!?” Alaia finally heard the conversation between the two: “Are you saying these monsters live here? Is this their lair?” This neighbor can't help but hear the frowning news, but he sounds very happy: “Commander, do you mean that the monsters we saw in front of us did not arrive here first, but were wild in themselves, so they had nothing to do with that silver monster? ”

Sounds like you don't have to deal with that silver monster to relieve him.

But unfortunately, Freya obviously didn't think so. Her hunch gradually became a reality, and at this moment, the clues of confusion in her mind became hundreds of times clearer.

And she looked up at the three of them, and she said, "I was wondering, if these monsters are from here, where is the silver monster from? ”

Brender and Alaia's face changed dramatically, even Ni Maisey picked out her eyebrows.

And it was at this moment that a sharp laugh interrupted Freya's words.

“Descendants of the goddess of war, so acute. ”

Freya suddenly opened her eyes and yelled, “Behind you, Brand! ”
