The only time the frost tide encountered trouble was when it approached the fortress.
The winter wolf at the front had not yet realized what was happening. It leaped into the area illuminated by the torch.
In an instant, the winter wolf seemed to be hit by something solid and exploded, blood and flesh splattered, and translucent bones like ice fell to the ground.
The winter wolves continued to attack.
More winter wolves were killed by the light of the torch, but more and more followed.
The flesh and blood were frozen in an instant, forming a brilliant ice forest, but this did not stop the winter wolf from moving forward.
The silver wave became much thinner, but was still approaching.
The light of these torches formed another silver border, slightly curbing the wave of frost.
If those mages hadn't served as fuel to light the torches, the impact of these monsters alone would have been enough to cause the fortresses on the front lines to collapse, and humans would have been unable to resist this torrent.
Lu Ban’s first reaction was the insect invasion in a science fiction movie.
But these monsters are far more terrifying than the Zerg.
When the Frost's vanguard was less than a thousand meters away from the Black Castle, the rangers released a second round of catapults.
The huge stone cracked in mid-air and turned into countless small pieces.
These stones turned into golden raindrops, falling on the heads of the winter wolves that came within the radiation range of the torch.
Almost instantly, the winter wolves stopped moving forward. Their bodies were pierced, and their flesh and blood dyed the frozen forest red before quickly solidifying.
But the winter wolf behind rushed up again.
Faced with the absolute advantage in numbers, even resistance seems futile.
"Mage, follow me."
Inside the Black Castle, a wizard gathered a dozen wizards and rushed towards the dome.
On the observation deck, an invisible barrier lit up around the mages, blocking the wind, snow, and severe cold. They stood behind the stone platform and raised their hands.
The air in the palm of his hand was visually distorted due to the powerful force, and a buzzing sound caused by air friction was heard around him. As the sound became louder and louder, the winter wolf that came later also approached within 800 meters of the fortress.
Then, something invisible was thrown out from the hands of the mages.
In the blink of an eye, the invisible object crossed a distance of 800 meters and burst onto the ground.
Boom boom boom boom——
A huge explosion sounded on the flat ground, and mushroom clouds rose up, crushing more winter wolves into minced meat, leaving no intact bones.
Amid the endless explosions, the master of the demonic tide howled again.
At the same time, Lu Ban noticed that something was wriggling in the shadows of the winter wolves.
It is the eternal night and the frost that are approaching together.
Those shadows were faster than the winter wolves. Although they would fall apart under the illumination of the torch, they flexibly used the shadows formed by the trees and the corpses of the winter wolves, as well as the smoke formed by the explosion, and moved towards the fortress at high speed.
When the Frost Vanguard was 500 meters away from the fortress, the longbowmen fired arrows ignited with magical flames.
The arrows fell to the ground and immediately formed a barrier of fire.
These flames were obviously different from ordinary flames. They were difficult to extinguish even in the low temperature of frost. The winter wolf, which was spread by the flames, quickly lost its balance and fell down, becoming fuel for the wall of fire.
But there are too many winter wolves.
At one point, Lu Ban even felt that even if he had weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear bombs, he would probably not be able to completely eliminate these winter wolves and resist the demonic tide.
There are simply too many of them.
Perhaps only the extermination order from science fiction, which turns the entire forest and the Kingdom of Night into scorched earth, could completely defeat it.
If it had not faced such a desperate situation, perhaps the Kingdom of Night would not have adopted such a strategy, using countless mages as firewood just to exchange for a moment of survival.
What’s even more terrifying is that this is just one of the twelve demonic waves.
"The superposition of demonic tides represents an even more serious problem."
Jonah was in the hall, looking solemnly at his colleagues who were burning out, and he sighed.
"Different demonic waves are monsters under the command of different evil gods. They are naturally hostile to each other. This is why there was always only one demonic wave attacking before. Even if two demonic waves appeared at the same time, they would first consume each other before reaching the border of the Black Forest, and only one would be left in the end."
"But it's different now."
Lu Ban saw that even though they had suffered various attacks, the number of winter wolves did not decrease, and their surging force did not weaken at all. It was hard not to feel despair.
"The coexistence of different demonic waves either means that the evil gods have begun to cooperate, or that a winner has been decided among them."
Jonah predicted the worst.
Just as the weirdness of Lu Ban's world began to gradually emerge and affect people's real lives, the magic tide of the Kingdom of Night was also evolving. In the end, perhaps those gods would become one. At that time, the twelve magic tides would arrive at the same time, and that would be the true end of the Kingdom of Night.
In the distance, a glow had gone out.
Lu Ban's [True Vision] showed the details of the fall of the fortress.
The winter wolves broke through the protection of the torches. The winter wolves, as tall as small buildings, froze the air with just their breath and destroyed the fortress's magical barriers. Then, although the rangers resisted, their resistance was powerless compared to the vast number of winter wolves.
In less than three minutes, there was no movement in the entire fortress.
Suddenly, at the moment when the light of the torch went out, a sun rose.
That was the brightest sun Lu Ban had ever seen. The golden light gave people hope and warmth, and reminded them of all the beautiful things.
All the winter wolves, shadows of the eternal night, crumbled in the sunlight, and the scorching heat beyond the range of the torches descended, flickered, and then went out.
"That is the Eternal Blazing Sun. When the fortress fell, they activated this spell without hesitation and used themselves as the raw material to create this effect."
Jonah closed his eyes as if in prayer.
The Winter Wolves had come within three hundred meters of the Black Castle's defense circle.
The crossbow arrows rained down like raindrops, and could only slightly reduce the momentum of the magic tide. In less than ten seconds, the front line of the magic tide would collide head-on with the black castle!
There were already more than one crossbowman standing in front of all the windows of the Black Castle. The wizard on the dome continued to cast spells, but it was like a child punching a tsunami, which could only cause the waves but was completely powerless to stop it.
Like a slow-motion silent movie, the silvery-white frost tide hit the Black Castle Fortress, causing the overall trend to stagnate.
The whole fortress shook.
Jonah clenched his fists and looked to his side.
But Lu Ban has disappeared.
