Volume 1: Chapter 48: The Blade of the Empire
🕑 Added 2025-04-29 15:30:41 +0000 UTC"Black snow... [Ursus swear]! Why would the evil creatures raised by the empire appear on the tundra?"
"Don't worry, the Captain is here. Even those guys can't kill us all!"
The shield guards clenched their shields.
They once followed the captain to fight for Ursus, and there were many unknown things in their past battles.
For example,
Those masked saber men.
"Brother Shield Guard, what are you talking about?"
The yetis were confused and didn't understand why the shield guards were so on high alert.
"Brother Wendigo...Have you heard of the legend of the monster that destroyed the face?"
"A face-destroying monster? Isn't that something that only exists in stories? It is said that black snow is..."
“Black snow!!!!”
“Is the face-destroying monster real???”
That was a horror story circulating in Ursus.
It is said that no one who encounters the face-destroying monster survives, and the only thing people can find is a faceless corpse with its mouth and nose cut off.
As a result, the Shield Guardians now seem to confirm the truth of the horror story.
"Quiet."
Patriot said so.
The guerrilla fighters lined up in the open space quickly quieted down.
The Wendigo also didn't know why those beings appeared near an infected mine.
He himself could match at least three inner guards, but he could not ensure that the guerrilla fighters would survive without casualties.
The demonic fragments are sealed into the body through rituals and combat uniforms. Only the most elite warriors of Ursus can maintain their consciousness during this process and avoid being corroded by the demonic fragments.
When the transformation was successful, the empire's most elite individual combat force was born.
Five groups of shield guards can massacre a team of knights, but four inner guards can wipe out a settlement.
"Shield guards, gather in formation and protect the infected."
The rescued infected people stood in the open space in a panic.
Although these people rescued them, they were now on guard again, as if they had discovered some extremely terrifying enemy.
Some infected heard the words of the shield guards -
The face-destroying monster in Ursus horror stories really exists.
"Everyone, line up!"
The shield guards quickly lined up and thrust their heavy shields into the ground.
Even the inner guards would not be able to easily break through the defense of so many shield guards.
Not to mention their captain was also present.
The only problem is——
How many internal guards are here this time?
“…”
Patriot held the spear and shield tightly in his hands.
Most of the guerrilla fighters have arrived here, but there are still a few who have not shown up -
For example, his daughter Yelena.
And Talulah and her companions.
Even worse is——
The light snow that had been falling had turned into a blizzard, enough to obscure the view in the distance.
…………
“…”
The surroundings began to become silent.
I don't know when the wind and snow got stronger.
After hearing Yelena's words, she planned to return to the guerrilla ranks.
However, the strange weather at this moment made the Dragon Girl feel uneasy.
"Yelena, wait!"
He stretched out his hand to stop the Carters girl and the snow monsters she brought with her who wanted to move forward.
Something is wrong!
But what was wrong, Talulah couldn't tell.
There seems to be some monster hidden in the wind and snow.
If we move forward so rashly, we will probably be killed.
"Talulah, what's wrong?"
Yelena stopped in her tracks.
"hiss……"
A strange sound was heard in the snow and wind.
“…”
The Swarm Overlord, held by the hand of Kiana Kaslana, looked somewhere.
"Big sister, be careful!"
A snow monster noticed the snow blown by the wind.
It's black.
at the same time--
The black spear shot towards the leading Carters girl.
"What?"
Yelena's pupils shrank slightly.
Are there enemies?
"..." The scorching flames turned into a solid wall of flames, blocking the snow-white girl.
After passing through the wall of fire, the spear was frozen in mid-air by the cold current and eventually shattered.
"hiss……"
This time, the sound became clearer, as if a presence hidden in the wind and snow was approaching.
"Who are you? Come out!"
Talulah snapped.
The scorching flames turned into a long sword and were held in his hand.
“…”
Kiana Kaslana held the little child in her arms.
Very dangerous.
Her instincts were alarming her.
Someone in danger is approaching.
Having struggled all the way from Siberia to the Far East, the white-haired ball is not completely clueless.
At least the risk-averse instinct still exists.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to wander alone on the snowfields of Siberia for such a long time after her stinky father left.
"Zerg, if things get bad later, come back to my world with me."
The girl said softly.
Fortunately, there is the [Dimension Chat Group], so even if we can’t win, we can just run away.
She didn't believe that the other party could chase her across the world.
“…”
The deep-sea hunter sensed the danger.
She placed her hand on the heavy sword behind her.
The enemies in the past could basically be classified as small fry, but those that appeared this time can already be classified as powerful enemies.
“Gah!”
The tiny springtail, contrary to its usual behavior, lowered its body and took an active attacking stance in a certain direction.
The wings behind began to flap faster.
There are organisms that are not weak.
"Zerg feels familiar?"
The tiny swarm master blinked.
He sensed a familiar aura...
It was like the scent of something that was fed regularly.
But there is no relevant information in the memory.
It is neither biomass nor high-energy mineral, but more like some kind of strange energy.
"hiss……"
Black spears began to appear one after another from the wind and snow and attacked.
A vague silhouette appeared in front of them.
“Ding!”
The flaming sword knocked the black spear away.
“Crack!”
The cold current surrounded the attacking black spear, freezing it and shattering it directly.
"boom!"
The huge force from the heavy sword was transmitted to the black spear, causing it to shatter directly.
“Crack!”
The sharp fangs bit off the black spear in mid-air.
“…”
Talulah looked at the figure that was gradually approaching.
Her expression grew serious.
Koshelna once told her about the most mysterious power of the Ursus Empire——
The Imperial Guard directly under Emperor Ursus.
Black combat uniform, an unknown device with a tube inserted behind the head, and a saber hanging at the waist...
"The Emperor's Blade..."
The dragon girl gritted her teeth and revealed the identity of the visitor.
"Hiss...Koshelna's daughter."
The wind and snow were everywhere, and the sharp blade of the empire appeared before them at this moment.
