Chapter 674 Ice Wind Battlefield


    The war has entered a white-hot stage.


    Duanmu Huai waved his war hammer and smashed the frost giant who was trying to break through the fortress to the ground, then looked forward. More than an hour has passed since the beginning of the battle, and for now, the fortress can continue to persevere. The races that attacked the fortress were frost giants, ice wolves and a large number of goblins. Their tactics are very simple. The Frost Giant is responsible for attacking the city walls and gates, trying to make a gap on it, while countless white ice wolves ran around like surging tides, attracting the attention of the defender together with the goblins.


    On Ruminas'' side, facing the attack of the monster army, it seems to be moderately advanced and retreating. The mages chanted magic, and once the frost giant approached, they would be knocked to the ground by burning fireballs. The knights held their shields high to block the edge of the fortress wall, holding their shields and sharp blades to fight the goblins and ice wolves that rushed up.


    “This kind of battle is really boring.”


    Jia Wei flashed, then disappeared. After a moment, she appeared beside Duanmu Huai, and the goblins and Ice Wolf who were separated by the two fell to the ground and turned into cold corpses.


    "Master, isn''t there anything more fun?"


    "I think you can change your weapon."


    Duanmu Huai glanced at the short sword in Jia Wei''s hand. This was what she touched in the dark area. Although Duanmu Huai didn''t control the silk thread and fight with the dolls like Aoji Si, on such occasions, the role of a thief profession is indeed limited.


    "I think so, but I don''t know what to use. Anyway, I don''t want to be the same as my sister."


    "Then there is nothing we can do."


    A frost giant roared and bumped towards the city wall. Duanmu Huai swung it casually, and the thunder war hammer flew out directly from Duanmu Huai''s hand and hit the frost giant''s face. The thunder and lightning bursts were as dense as a spider web, and instantly turned all the enemies around into a pile of pitch black coke.


    "Why don''t I send you a new mission and you can see what''s going on behind these monsters."


    "later?"


    "Yes, the army will inevitably have a commander. This is just the beginning. Although I am not sure whether this monster army has a commander, what if there is one?"


    "Oh well."


    Hearing Duanmu Huai’s request, Jae Wei nodded.


    "By the way, if there is a commander, can I kill it?"


    “Of course there is no problem.”


    "clear."


    The moment the words fell, Jia Wei''s figure flashed and disappeared.


    At the same time, someone shouted.


    "The enemy has climbed the west wall!!"


    Perhaps it was negligence or because of the fatigue of the battle, Ruminas''s knights gradually began to be unable to withstand the monsters'' attack. The ice wolf roared and jumped up. Their sharp claws directly grabbed the frozen wall, and jumped onto the city wall in just a few seconds. The goblins sitting on the back of the ice wolf made a scream of victory. The Ruminas'' knights raised their shields again, trying to drive away the invaders who forcibly climbed the city wall.


    But at this moment, a white figure appeared from the crowd.


    Aurelia held a long sword in her hand. She was as dazzling and luxurious as a blooming flower on the battlefield. Her movements were as light as petals flying in the blizzard, and she rushed into the enemy with the violent storm. The shining sword light bloomed in an instant, and it was as luxurious and elegant as a work of art.


    However, the ice wolf and goblins obviously had different opinions on this, but unfortunately, they had not had time to express their dissatisfaction. As the sword light suddenly rose, blood marks burst out from their bodies, and then the ice wolf and goblin riders fell to the ground and died.


    Ovilia withdrew her long sword, and even a trace of blood was invisible on her pure white robe. The Ruminus Knights also took this opportunity to surge again and regain their almost lost positions.


    "Your Highness!"


    The black-haired maid hurried over, the sword in her hand was covered in blood, but the black-haired maid obviously didn''t care about this now.


    "Are you okay?"


    "I''m fine."


    Ovilia shook her head.


    "Is the defense line okay?"


    "It''s pretty solid. To be honest, I didn''t expect to stick to it until now."


    "yes………"


    Ovilia understood what his maid was saying. The monster army was attacking continuously, while Ruminas could only rely on the city walls and fortress to defend. The cold stone wall may not be tired, but people have their limits. With such a reckless attack from the monster army, they were able to hold on until now without collapsing...


    "It seems that inviting the judge to fight together was the right decision." As he spoke, Aurelia turned her head and looked at the city gate - Duanmu Huai was too lazy to play the game of cat and mouse with the invaders on the city wall, and he contracted the entire fortress alone. Instead of standing on the fortress wall, he jumped directly to the gate, wielding a war hammer to block the monsters'' attacks one after another. Wherever his thunder war hammer swept across, accompanied by the shining thunder and lightning, a large number of monsters died. Even the Frost Giant, who is taller than Duanmuhuai, is not a match for this steel warrior.


    "Roar——!"


    A frost giant grabbed the trunk of a big tree and smashed it directly at Duanmuhuai. Duanmu Huai did not dodge at all. He roared in the face of the trunk that was coming towards him, and blasted out with a backhand, directly smashing the trunk in the Frost Giant''s hand into two pieces. Then he rushed forward and came to the Frost Giant''s body. The thunder warhammer roared and teared the blizzard, hitting the Frost Giant''s knee heavily. Then he saw the Frost Giant''s entire right leg explode completely, and the Frost Giant, who had lost his balance and limbs, screamed and fell to the ground - then his head was directly hit by Duanmu Huai.


    Compared with Aurelia, who was pure white and flawless, even if there was no drop of blood on her cloak, Duanmu Huai was covered in blood, and the dark red blood was stained on his dark armor and golden skull sky eagle pattern, it looked like a demon walking in the world.


    Aoji Si followed Duanmu Huai as always. She still rarely acted, but her fingers were slightly shaking, and the invisible silk thread formed a fishing net, blocking all the fish trying to go downstream, and directly cut them into sashimi.


    To be honest, Duanmu Huai and Aojisi combined are even worth a Ruminas Knights.


    "snort."


    The black-haired maid snorted dissatisfiedly. She didn''t like Duanmuhuai at all, but the facts were here. If Duanmuhuai hadn''t been guarding the gate, then this frozen fortress would have been broken long ago.


    "How long will the fleet last?"


    "I don''t know, but they will definitely come today."


    "I hope the fleet will arrive soon."


    Speaking of this, a complex expression appeared in Aurelia''s eyes.


    "Maybe they will arrive soon, as long as we can survive this wave of attacks."


    Duanmuhuai repelled a wave of enemies again and retracted his gaze that looked at Aurelia.


    He always felt that there was a lot of something wrong with Aurelia, and he didn''t say that this kind of illogical behavior was inviting himself to participate in the battle. Even her performance in battle was very strange. Indeed, from the normal perspective, Aurelia is now the leader and does her best in battle. She can be regarded as a loyal Knight Ji. But Duanmu Huai''s intuition as the judge did not see this way. He always felt that Aurelia was acting. All she did was not really wanting to completely defeat these monster army, but more like to show the Ruminus Knights, like a performance, so that they could see themselves fighting hard.


    Just show this, it’s like when your boss comes to you, you are busy at the desk, as if you have many important things to complete at hand, but in fact they are all busy.


    This is also the reason why Duanmu Huai did not immediately burst out all his strength to defeat the monster army. Of course he could do it, but Duanmu Huai did not intend to do so. Aurelia''s depravity into a dark swordsman is also a popular story among players. Many second-creation books use this as the theme. After all, evil depravity and other... Well, it is indeed exciting.


    But in fact, based on the experience of the judge, there are generally two types of fallen betrayers.


    One is that I have long thoughts of betrayal, and depravity is just a natural result of going with the flow.


    The other one is that he didn''t have this idea at first, but he eventually succeeded under the various conspiracies of the enemy.


    Players have always believed that Aurelia is the second type, so most of the books are drawn according to this content.


    But as of now, Duanmuhuai suspected that it is likely to be the first type.


    Aurelia''s performance and what she said seemed to be false. Although she was trying hard to defend the fortress, in Duanmu Huai''s eyes, she only focused on highlighting the "working" part. As for whether the fortress itself can be defended, Aurelia didn''t seem to be particularly concerned - it didn''t matter if the fortress was broken.


    This is obviously wrong. As a ruler, what matters is the result, not the process. Judging by common sense, as Aurelia''s identity, she should sacrifice everything at all costs to prevent the monster army from breaking through the fortress. No matter how many people sacrificed, she could not hesitate.


    Unfortunately, the facts don’t seem to be the case now.


    Duanmuhuai wanted to see what Aurelia would behave if the fortress was broken, but after thinking about it carefully, he still gave up this idea. Duanmuhuai also hoped to find a group of people in the territory of Ruminas to help with internal affairs. If the monster breaks through the fortress and goes deep into Ruminas, then his trip will be in vain.


    However, at this moment, suddenly, a fierce roar came, which made Duanmu Huai and the knights fighting on the city walls raise their heads and look into the sky. Then they saw a huge white shadow running out of the clouds in the dark and gloomy sky, and pounced towards them.


    That''s...


    “Dragon!!”


    Amid the screams of the knights, a giant dragon about the size of the fortress fell from the sky. It opened its mouth and launched a fierce raid on the fortress - the biting cold wind whistled past, and the leading knights were transformed into an ice sculpture by the bone-throwing cold. Then the dragon waved its wings again and raised its head again...


    "Evil dragon, ready to die!!"


    However, at this moment, accompanied by an angry rebuke, Duanmuhuai saw Aurelia jumping up and shooting out of the city wall, holding a long sword in his hand and stabbing straight at the giant dragon in front of him. Her expression was extremely firm, and at this moment, her whole body seemed to be a dazzling white flower in full bloom.


    Seeing this scene, the soldiers of Ruminas immediately cheered and their morale was greatly boosted.


    However, only Duanmu Huai saw the indifference and numbness in Aurelia''s eyes.
