"We can't last much longer."

In the dome hall, the mage in charge looked at the scenery outside with a solemn expression.

It is unprecedented for three Demon Tide to appear at the same time. No fortress can withstand these three days of Demon Tide.

What's more, no one knows whether this Demon Tide will really only last three days. If it is super doubled and comes to a nine-day Blood Moon, then Night Country will probably be completely destroyed.

No Spirit Torch can sustain burning for so many days. Even if the big Spirit Torch inside the gray tower is activated and the Archmage, who is only one out of thousands of mages, is burned as firewood, it can only slow down the rate of human destruction.

In this case, even escaping from the battlefield is no longer possible.

The entire fortress is surrounded by monsters such as winter wolves. Even mages, if they go out now, they will be torn into pieces, eaten and wiped clean. They can only stay here, either wait until Spirit Torch burns themselves to death, or stop burning Spirit Torch and confront those monsters head-on to eliminate them all, or directly use Eternal Blazing Sun to burn the surrounding monsters in a wave, and then be eaten and wiped clean by the remaining monsters.

Horizontal means death, vertical means death, and tilt means death. Blood Moon, which symbolizes death, hangs high above the head.

This kind of situation without any hope makes people despair.

Almost no one backed down, was timid, or went crazy. Everyone was doing their own thing, picking up weapons, resisting monsters, and then dying.

In this environment, only such mechanical numb movements can make people feel at ease.

But the mage in charge suddenly saw something was wrong.

"Has anyone left the fortress?"

He looked into the raging pile of monsters.

He saw someone who seemed to be walking among the monsters.

Moreover, it was not the direction of escape, but towards the depths of Black Forest, towards the direction of the huge winter wolf.

Beside that person, the monster seemed to be disturbed by some kind of disturbance. It either fell to the ground and kept twitching, or went crazy and started to fight with the same kind around it.

Even those wriggling shadows could not get close to that person. The mage observed carefully and found that the frost ice crystals also bypassed him, as if they were avoiding something.

Centered on that person, a small gap actually appeared in Demon Tide.

"Who is he and what is he going to do?"

The mage in charge asked.

No one answered.

Jonah also came to the window and looked at the guy walking backwards.

". Is it him?"

"Do you know him? Which army's mage is that?"

The mage in charge looked at Jonah.

"No, he is not a mage, he is just a Rangers crossbowman."

Jonah replied that he couldn't even remember the name of this person who was about the same age as himself.

"How did he avoid those monsters? Do you know what he was going to do?"

In this case, it is difficult not to suspect that the person heading towards the winter wolf may be related to Demon Tide. After all, in Night Country's perception, Demon Tide is absolutely opposed to humans. Their existence is to destroy humans. It is absolutely impossible for humans to walk like that among Demon Tide.

Even the great mages of the Gray Tower can only stand in Demon Tide and resist those monsters for a period of time.

People who are swimming against the current like Lu Ban, facing forward, do not exist in Night Country's cognition at all.

But Lu Ban is indeed moving forward.

In the wind and snow, Lu Ban's mouth came out with endless babble.

Any rational creature who hears these ravings will immediately go crazy, be seriously contaminated, be quickly eroded, and transform into a monster.

The fine sound, like fingernails scratching a blackboard, intertwined with the low sound, like bubbles bursting, spreading in the wind, causing the monsters around Lu Ban to become distorted.

Obviously, these monsters are not serving that great being. For the monsters, these ravings are the strongest mental pollution.

Lu Ban saw a winter wolf lying on the ground. There seemed to be something squirming in its body, trying to break out. As Lu Ban passed by, its abdomen burst open with a thud. From inside, green vegetation grew strong and lush, defying the severe cold.

The squirming black shadows that originally surrounded Lu Ban seemed to be afraid of the impact of these ravings. Most of them fled away, while a few continued to twitch and twist, and finally Motionless turned into real shadows.

A gust of green wind blows, and in Lu Ban's [True Sight], there are countless foreign words hidden in the wind. This is the wind of plague. If you inhale it, you will be infected by the plague, be controlled, and eventually kill yourself.

But the wind immediately disintegrated and dissipated after it came into contact with the murmur in the Lu Ban wind. Those words turned into black powder and disappeared.

As I walked, Lu Ban found that I felt a little hot.

He saw that with him as the center, the white frost retreated, forming a continuous road.

"Sure enough, even this ice and snow was caused by monsters."

Lu Ban thought to himself.

These monsters polluted the air, causing the air to become abnormal, resulting in the bitter wind and snow. In a sense, the pollution of monsters changed reality through this method.

However, Lu Ban knows that what they are afraid of now is just fear of Great Being's ravings, fearing that the sound will completely corrupt them.

If there is someone who is not afraid of death, or if he is ordered by a higher-ranking person to come directly and want to die with Lu Ban, then he has no good solution.

The current Lu Ban is like holding a Gatling in his hand against these monsters, threatening to shoot them if they don't get out of the way, and the serious monsters will naturally get out of the way.

But if the other party doesn't show martial ethics and just packs hundreds of monsters and throws them at them, then Lu Ban's small water pipe won't be able to flush out so many things.

The reason why the other party did not do this is that first of all, monsters have chaotic cognition. Simply put, they do not have such a high IQ and may not be able to think of this. Secondly, because of the existence of this nonsense, those monsters are not sure that hundreds of monsters can really kill Lu Ban if they are packed and thrown.

In the foreign land of the Silent Land, knowledge represents pollution.

This man knows so much, his pollution must be serious!

Humans think these monsters are ferocious, twisted and terrifying, but in the eyes of the monsters, Lu Ban, who chants those indescribable whispers of evil gods, is the dirtiest one!

Thinking of this, Lu Ban decided to speed up.

He jumped up, and at the same time [Last Words] copied the impact of Mud Truck for himself. He quickly moved forward and got a lot closer to the giant wolf that was as tall as a mountain.

He is using two of the three ways to use [Last Words] at the same time. If there is no conflict, he can also launch [Speech Bullet].

And Lu Ban's target is naturally the master of frost, the huge winter wolf.
