Andesha Wendell frowned as he watched the infiltration troops returning from the dark mountains.

The infiltration of the Dark Mountains failed. Although Andesha had considered the possibility of failure at the beginning, she did not expect it to be so soon, and she did not expect that the powerful elf ranger could not come back.

According to the information brought by the withdrawn soldiers, they were extremely smooth in the first half of the infiltration operation. It can be said that they easily bypassed the "Dark Mountain Pass" of the eastern defense line of Ansu. However, when they approached the legendary pioneering territory in southeastern Ansu, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. A team suddenly lost contact. According to the clues found later, it can be determined that they were attacked by Ansu's army and wiped out the entire army. Then the home team led by Saldrin went to investigate, and the result was that they lost contact soon.

No one had time to send back any news - even the Demon Worm was unable to release it, which was only when it encountered a moment of devastating blow.

So the other teams retreated quickly, not even staying for a quarter of an hour.

The soldiers' choice was correct. If even the home team led by Solderin would be wiped out in an instant, then the worse-strength lower-level team would be dead end to continue to operate. Withdrawal, they could save some living forces and bring the proven information back to the commander. However, this did not make the young wolf general feel the slightest improvement - it would be better to say that after confirming the existence and threat of the pioneering corps, her mood became worse.

The pioneering territory is real. Judging from its strength, the Gowen Cecil also exists real - even if it is not a real ancient hero, at least it was a powerful figure trained by Ansu, comparable to the level of the Duke of the Third Realm. The weakest link on the Ansu border line has now become a difficult problem. The decaying and slow Ansu royal family is not as unbearable as expected at the beginning... They realized the major problems on the national defense line in time and have begun to remedy them.

It was even before Tifeng's official attack.

Andesa asked the soldiers to go back and rest, but she came to the desk and spread a huge map in front of her eyes.

Based on the information brought back by the infiltration troops, she could roughly calculate the location of the pioneer territory - at the end of the lower reaches of the Baishui River, near the starting point of the eastern extension of the Dark Mountains, backed by the Dark Mountains, in front of the river, with large open plains and dense forests on both sides, which is indeed a very good place. The "Gaven Cecil"'s vision of choosing a territory is quite good.

This mysterious pioneering leader seemed to be an abyss in Andesha's eyes. She knew it was there, but she could not find out what was inside it. This made the always competitive general Wolf feel particularly unhappy. However, as the outstanding heir of the Wendell family, Andesha quickly suppressed the restlessness of the young man. She breathed gently, took the paper and pen from the side, and began to write a letter:

"The report from the Winter Wolf Fortress... There are indeed weak points in the Dark Mountain Pass, and you can bypass the Ansu East Frontier Defense Line... The Cecil pioneering territory does exist, and there should be a strong military deployment, but the specific situation remains a mystery... Everything in the rest of the defense line is as usual, and there is no more movement on Ansu, in the recent days..."

A noise from outside interrupted Andesha's writing. The young wolf general frowned and raised his head, and asked loudly: "What's going on outside?"

The heavy wooden door of the room was pushed open, and a trusted guard walked in: "Commander! There is... strange things approaching on the plain in front of the fort!"

"Strange thing?" Andesha was very dissatisfied with this statement, "make it clear."

"Okay... it seems like a huge human-shaped monster! It ran out from the direction of the dark mountains!"

The loud bell had already rang, mixed with sharp horns and loud shouts of commanders at all levels. The Winter Wolf Fortress made the most correct response in the face of unknown things - the city gates were quickly closed, and soldiers came to the city wall to prepare for defense. The hot hot oil and heavy rollers were pushed to the edge of the battlement. On the vast snow field facing the front of the city wall, groups of unknown red clouds were gathering.

Andesa came to the city wall, and the sharp gaze of the high-level knight allowed her to see clearly what the monsters on the plain looked like. The youngest female commander of the winter wolf in history showed a surprise for the first time: "What is that... what?!"

The huge blood-colored human creatures were shaking on the plains. They were like ancient giants in myths and legends, with huge figures far superior to humans, but they had no human facial features and limb details. Things like blood-colored mud were squirming and flowing on their bodies. The faceless head was so terrible that even Andesha couldn't help feeling her scalp numb when she saw a large group of such giants walking towards the fortress!

That was really the most blasphemous, most distorted, and most terrifying nightmare, but they appeared here and appeared in front of the Winter Wolf Fortress!

"Push the catapult quickly! Monsters of this size have to be dealt with by the catapult!" Andersha immediately shouted, "You, and you, you go and call the magician group and let them go to the battle mage tower!"

While Andesha was quickly deploying defense, the huge human-shaped monsters shaking on the plains also began to accelerate - they seemed to finally "sniff" the smell of living people and magic, and instantly became excited from their tumultuous wandering state. These terrifying monsters roared silently, lowered their heads to send a fearless charge at the Winter Wolf Fortress. Some of the monsters with spell casting ability raised their arms high during the charge, and a group of Chaos Energy Arrows with unknown black and red light made a harsh scream in the air, drew across the long parabola, and hit the solid walls of the Winter Wolf Fortress heavily.

Under this inexplicable energy corrosion, the solid wall tiles weathered and cracked quickly like fragile sand!

Even if there is no place directly hit by the energy arrow, the surface of the city wall shows a clear tendency to be fragile!

Andesha immediately noticed the corrosion effect of the Chaos Energy Arrows and realized the terribleness of this thing - although with the thickness of the Winter Wolf Fortress wall, the damage caused by these energy arrows is not fatal in a short period of time, but the effect of "transforming" the rocks is weakening the overall strength of the entire castle!

"Stop them!" Andersa drew her sword and slashed out a silver-white shock wave, and killed the spell casting monsters rushing in front. "Don't let them get close to the city wall!"

A chaotic and weird battle broke out in front of the Winter Wolf Fortress.

At the same time, in the newly built arsenal led by Cecil, Byron solemnly presented a one-handed sword with a strange shape and a wonderful beauty to Gao Wen.

"Sir, the first finished product of the melt-cut sword has been tested successfully."

Gao Wen carefully observed this new weapon that brought countless efforts of technicians and forgeators, and his heart gradually filled with joy.

It is a beautiful weapon, beautiful and fatal - it has a deep tone overall, and the nearly black sword body and handle reflect the precise beauty of industrial products everywhere. It is a single-edged sword, which in Gao Wen's view is more like a combination of a certain kind of battle knife and a sword-cutting sword: its sword spine is straight and tough, and the rune array with heat dissipation, reinforcement and other functions can be seen on the black metal, while the blade is slightly curved at the front end and presents a deep blue color. The hilt of this sword looks thicker and more complicated than an ordinary one-handed sword. On the inside of its guard, an insignificant trigger structure can be seen. Its position and size are specially designed to ensure that soldiers will not be affected when fighting with swords. A toggle safety device can be seen next to the trigger - this can prevent the sword from being accidentally activated and accidentally hurting the wearer during carrying.

Gao Wen reached out to pick up the melt-cut sword as a sample, and waved it casually twice: the sword was slightly lighter to him, but it was still very easy to use. Obviously, when designing this sword, the technicians listened carefully to the advice from the Byron Knight.

"I reduced part of the weight of the sword body and still had good balance by adjusting the center of gravity," Knight Byron explained, "A lighter sword can save soldiers' physical strength, and because the melt-cut sword itself relies on high-heat sword blades to kill, rather than relying on gravity and inertia to break armor like ordinary sword cutting swords, so weight loss will not affect the lethality of the sword itself."

Gao Wen nodded and then activated the high-temperature blade.

With an extremely slight sound in the hilt of the sword, the energy reserved by the magic capacitor was transmitted to the heating runes buried inside the sword blade. The burning runes originally used to create magic traps began to work. Gao Wen saw that the originally deep lilac blade quickly began to turn red, and became hot and shiny in just one or two seconds, covering the sword like a solidified golden red flame.

Its heat did not escape, so when standing around the melt-cut sword, you would only feel a slight heat. However, Gao Wen tried to press the sword blade on a piece of iron plate next to it for testing, and almost easily cut the iron plate into two pieces - the feel was similar to cutting a relatively hard piece of butter.

Gao Wen did not bring a handguard. He felt the heat on the hilt of the sword seriously and asked the magic technician next to him curiously: "How do you solve the insulation problem and the stability of the melt-cut sword itself?"

"Lord, the purple steel blade and sword body of the melt-cut sword are not integrated. We have added a heat insulation layer mixed with quartz sand and crystal dust in the middle, and relied on the purple steel rivets that penetrate the sword ridge to complete the connection. The rivets will still transfer some heat, so we have added a rune array that enhances high temperature resistance around the rivets and added a heat dissipation structure on the sword ridge, so that all heat will be drained in time, and will not burn the melt-cut sword itself, nor will it hurt the user."

"Will the strength of the sword body decrease because of this?"

"There will be a little bit down, but because purple steel itself is a very solid and stable magic material, and the refined steel we forged now is stronger than the steel used to be, the sword is still strong enough - and, most of the time, it doesn't need to be 'head-on'."

At this time, the Byron Knight mentioned next to him: "Of course, if you encounter energy exhaustion or other inevitable situations, soldiers can still use this sword to fight the enemy to the death - the purple steel blade itself is sharp enough, and it is no problem to treat it as an ordinary sword in a short period of time."

"Very good," Gao Wen gently waved the melt-cut sword in his hand. The sharp blade containing the amazing high temperature cut out a dazzling stream of light in the air. "The security of the territory has added another guarantee."
