Chapter 650: The Girl in the Frost
In order to get away from the pursuing insect swarm as quickly as possible, the people who escaped from Shilin Mountain Fort chose the flattest route with the fewest obstacles, which was the direction leading directly to the barren grassland in the south.

More than thirty carriages were running wildly on the road. On the following carriages stood the extraordinary people casting spells, throwing out exploding fireballs from time to time to block the swarm of insects flying like black fog in the sky.

Driving at high speed, many horses pulling the carriages were foaming at the mouth and had bloody marks on their necks, but even so, the drivers did not dare to stop them. They could only keep urging them with the whip and looking around anxiously and panically.

A carriage was traveling at high speed when its wheel was caught by a stone. Normally, it would have just been a slight bump, but at high speed, the stone lifted the body of the carriage a little and it tilted forward and sideways. As a result, the entire carriage lost balance in the air and tilted to the ground, with the people and the carriage hitting and dragging on the ground. The carriage fell apart, the horse was strangled and fell to the ground, and all kinds of objects and passengers were scattered on the ground.

The carriages behind had to evade the collision urgently, but a few were unable to avoid it and crashed into the carriages on the ground. The wooden body of the carriage broke and a coachman was even thrown out and rolled from the air, causing dizziness and broken bones.

Screams spread across the wilderness, but the swarm of insects in the sky would not stop there. Soon, the people and horses struggling on the ground were covered by the swarm of insects. A heart-wrenching howl rang out in the night sky, and then quickly faded away, leaving only a mess of blood and bones, like a skeleton dismembered by the most stingy butcher.

In the leading carriages, several old gray-feathered men who were holding the carriages closed their eyes when they heard the howling, trying not to think about what was happening. But after a few seconds, one of them opened his eyes and asked in this panic and tense moment.

"How many people are left? Is the swarm showing any signs of weakening?"

A Gray-Feathered Extraordinary Being who was accompanying the group climbed out of the carriage, holding onto the constantly shaking and running carriage with one hand, and then looked into the distance at the still endless swarm of insects in the rear.

"There are about twenty-five carriages left, and the swarm is about one-third less than before."

"One third..." The people in the car felt a little hopeful about the result, but also found it hard to accept.

We have already run such a long distance, and since there are still two-thirds left, the persistence of these insects is really terrifying.

"If we keep running, the horse may not be able to hold on. If there is still no turnaround after walking a little further, we will have no choice but to stop and fight."

"Tell the spellcasters behind to save their energy and not use it all up."

"Yes."

The chase in the wilderness was still going on. In one of the carriages, Ores, wrapped in a light brown robe, was kneeling on the ground, looking out the window with some curiosity. The chassis frame of the carriage she was currently in was made of steel, which was very sturdy. The interior of the carriage was also luxurious and comfortable. It was the carriage that Sigmund prepared for himself.

Before escaping from the city, Sigmund made a special trip to the house where Hesia lived and took Ores away, because he was more aware of the close relationship between Hesia and the girl, and before Hesia left, she asked him to take care of her friend who lived alone at home.

Unfortunately, at the beginning, Ores refused to leave no matter what was said, because before Heshia left, she asked her to stay at home and not run around.

"Tilan, it's said, Ores, be obedient." This is how she answered Sigmund.

In response, Sigmund kept trying to persuade her, telling her that the situation was critical. At this moment, the swarm of insects also attacked the house where Ores lived.

Seeing the two ponies being bitten by insects, Orlais became anxious and involuntarily used the magic power that Tilan taught her.

The cold air spread under her feet, and countless pieces of ice particles formed in the air, then moved throughout the house and yard like a blizzard, carrying away the black bugs.

Not only did the two ponies survive, but Sigmund also survived the insect attack.

Seeing this, Sigmund was pleasantly surprised. He had thought that she would be a burden, but he did not expect that she was such a powerful transcendent. Then, under his persuasion and guidance, Orlais agreed to take the two ponies away, because Tilan had said before that the two ponies were partners and asked Orlais to feed them.

The situation was now critical. If they didn't leave, the two ponies might die in the attack of the insect swarm. With this reason, Orles was finally willing to act together. As for why Tilan didn't receive the signal from Orles's necklace pendant, it was because Orles felt that she had not sensed any danger yet and could still take care of herself.

"No, I won't make Tilan worry." She also has self-respect, although she is not as proud as before.

Under the cover of night, the carriage galloped wildly, and the lantern hanging in front kept shaking. The iron chain and the lantern hit the body of the carriage from time to time, making clanging sounds.

After several hours of running wildly, the horses pulling the carts finally couldn't hold on any longer, and many of them died of exhaustion on the way. Seeing that the situation had reached its limit, the leader of the Gray Feather Race had to give the order for everyone to stop and resist on the spot.

"Hurry up!"

"Surround the carriages and everyone go inside." The guards in chain mail shouted loudly, asking the remaining survivors to gather as much as possible.

Just as the swarm of insects in the rear was about to catch up, several leading Gray Feather elders cast a spell together, and a hemispherical cover gradually spread out, covering the entire temporary camp.

This dark grey cover not only blocks the sight, but also blocks the smell and magic fluctuations, and finally even gradually hides the people and objects in the entire camp. Looking down from the sky, the earth is blank and desolate. If it weren't for the wheel tracks behind them, it would be impossible to guess where they are hiding.

A large number of insect swarms were flying and wandering blindly in the wilderness, searching for residual smell information in the air, but they had no specific direction or results. Inside the gray dome, the hundreds of survivors were looking at the swarms of insects swimming outside nervously.

Time passed by minute by minute. In order to search for traces of living things, the swarms of insects hovering in the sky began to separate and spread in all directions across the wilderness, but there were still many left in the original place. Some of them sucked and bit the horses and corpses abandoned along the way, and some simply fell to the ground to rest.

In this situation, the people in the dome can only lower their voices and activities and wait with extreme caution.

Without a clock, everyone felt like the day was a year long just watching the insects flying around outside. Even though they could take a rest at this time, many people did not dare to close their eyes.

At this time, suddenly some insects crawled to the edge of the dome. They might not be very intelligent, but when they touched the edge of the dome, they instinctively felt something strange. They kept crawling and exploring, trying to pass through the dome, but they were separated by the vague force field inside.

Such feedback made the insects gradually excited and curious. Some of them began to shake their antennae and emit pheromones to call their companions. More insects began to gather in this direction.

Seeing this scene, many people's hearts gradually sank to the bottom, and some even trembled and their breathing became heavier.

"Hold on, stay calm, stay calm..." Several Gray Feathers lowered their voices, constantly comforting and guiding the people around them to prevent some people from making unconscious movements and behaviors out of extreme despair.

But even such calmness could not solve the real problem. The swarm of insects began to notice this place. They gradually gathered on the periphery of the dome, outlining this hidden hemispherical space with their bodies.

This discovery attracted more insect swarms, and they began to infiltrate inward from all angles, especially underground.

Seeing the bugs burrowing into the ground, and even a few of them starting to come out of the dome, many people finally couldn't bear it anymore and started to panic. They used all kinds of things to hit and attack the bugs, and then the pheromones emitted by the dead bugs caused more and more bugs to drill in here, and the entire isolated dome was about to fall.

At this moment, a bright meteor fell from the sky and directly pierced through the round cover that blocked out light and smell. When everyone looked up in panic, they could see that it was a long ice crystal sword inserted diagonally into the ground.

Then, ripples of frost spread from the sword, covering an area of ​​nearly one kilometer in radius, freezing the ground like steel, and the insects that had originally drilled into the ground died instantly.

In the night sky, the dress and long hair fluttered, and the girl with long silver-gray hair slowly descended. Several ice crystal swords were suspended beside her, and the strong magic aura emanating from her also attracted the insect swarm within a radius of more than ten kilometers. The black fog in the sky rushed under the starry sky with a continuous buzzing sound, rushing towards the silver-gray girl who descended in the night sky.

Imperial Decree: Frost Moon

The light in the girl's eyes flickered, and several symbols flashed by. Then invisible ripples spread out with her as the center, and all the insects that approached fell like sifted powder.

Frozen insects mixed with snow and frost fell endlessly, slowly accumulating on the ground, and the air began to become extremely cold.

Looking up at the falling snow, the survivors in the castle wrapped themselves tightly in their clothes, watching the world become quiet again. They had never had such a feeling before, that is, it turns out that the word silence can also spread and devour like fire, drowning the world they see.

The wilderness that was full of buzzing, running, screaming and howling a few minutes ago became extremely quiet. There were no extra living creatures, no extra sounds, only the insect corpses and snowflakes and ice crystals that kept piling up on the ground, silently telling everything.

Looking at the dirty gray-black snowflakes on the ground, the girl in the sky was not satisfied, so she waved her hand again, and an invisible wind blew slowly, the originally frozen ground melted, and the frost and snowflakes that had accumulated before dissipated like an illusion.

Then all the loose and light insect corpses were swept into the air. Just when everyone was worried about whether they would move again, flames ignited in the night sky and spread to the sky at an extremely fast speed, so that in the end the entire night sky was illuminated like daylight.

To be honest, my own power is not as convenient as my sister's when it comes to fighting and destruction.

Spreading the transparent cicada wings behind her, the girl slowly descended. At this time, everyone in the Stone Forest Fortress looked at her as if she were some kind of mythical figure, crawling on the ground, full of awe and fear.

The invisible force field spread, and even if people just walked past, they could feel the lingering cool air, making their minds clear and calm.

"Tilan."

At the scene, the only person standing and not crawling on the ground was Orlais. She looked at Tilan approaching with joy, and then went forward to hug her good friend.

Her fingers slowly stroked the long hair on Orlais' back, and Heshia felt relieved. At this time, she turned around and asked the gray-feathered people present about the specific events and circumstances.

……

"In other words, the entire Stone Forest Fort area is now destroyed." Heshia felt a little regretful and lost, because many new races disappeared before she had a chance to learn about them in detail.

"Yes, we plan to migrate to the west. There are vast rivers and many settlements there."

"I heard that the place is ruled by the wolf-blood race. Will the wolf-blood queen allow you to go there?" Heshia was curious.

"Before we left, the Gray Mullet Scholar gave us a token of proof. As long as we bring it to the wolfblood queen, she will give us a small place to accommodate us and live."

"As for the Gray Fur Scholar, when the insect swarm rushed into the fortress, he did not leave with us, but went deep underground in the stone fortress. It was very hot there, and there was a river of lava leading underground. Only he could endure such high temperatures. According to the Gray Fur Scholar, he will sleep underground for another ten years before waking up."

It is no wonder that the Gray Feathered Race can survive fierce battles with their ability to sleep and hide. Tilan nodded slightly to show that she understood, and did not further inquire why the 'Gray Cape Scholar' did not escape with everyone else. This is probably their internal philosophy of survival, and they will not put all their hopes together.

"What happened next..." Several Gray Feathers present were a little hesitant. They wanted to invite the girl to go with them, but they were afraid of offending her. After all, the strength displayed by Heshia now was completely beyond their imagination. They couldn't even guess what sequence this girl was, how powerful she was, and so on.

Seeing what several people were thinking, Heshia didn't care and just shook her head slightly.

"I'm afraid I can't go with you from now on." She estimated that she would have to take Loloria and some war machines with her in the future, and some things would be too troublesome to explain.

The gray-feathered people present immediately expressed their understanding and did not dare to dissuade her. They also said that if Heshia needed anything in the future, she could contact them.

"We have a complete set of communication equipment here that can be given to the adults." Several gray-feathered species carefully carried out an iron box, which contained a generator, a radio signal transmitter, a telegraph machine, and a matching receiving device.

"These things." The girl tilted her head and thought about it. She thought they might be useful, so she nodded and took them.

Afterwards, Heshia said goodbye to the surviving people from Stone Forest Castle and watched them continue to move westward. She herself took Orlais's hand and flew back to where Loloria and the others were.

A few minutes later, the two people who had experienced high-altitude and high-speed flight landed. It was already evening, and Sura and others were having dinner in the camp. They were not worried at all that something might happen to Heshia.

Just as they expected, Heshia brought Orlais back easily.

"It's a super rare elf~" Loloria circled around Orlais, her eyes full of curiosity.

"In our time, elves were almost extinct. There were only new races that imitated the elves, but they didn't have the natural and fresh feeling of the original ones at all." Loloria explained happily to Tilan, and then hugged Orlais' arm, wanting to observe more closely.

As for Orles, she was also full of curiosity about this mechanical girl. The two of them sat together, exploring and observing each other, which was indescribably interesting.

"You two should just get along well and sleep together tonight." Seeing that the two of them were getting along well, Heshia felt a lot more relieved.

"Does Heshia have something else to do tonight?" Sura noticed when she said this.

"Yes." Heshia stood up and looked into the distance at the night sky where the flames had been extinguished.

"We haven't completely dealt with the bugs yet. We have to at least find their breeding nests."

In the flickering firelight, the girl gently stroked the hair beside her ear and spoke her thoughts.

"Since I have the ability to do it, why not give it a try and solve this problem completely." When she said this, she had a completely different feeling.

In a civilized society with a complete order, many times, she only needs to solve the current problem. All subsequent investigations and trials will be completed by the state machinery, and everyone is taught from childhood not to go too far and to know when to stop.

But now she has clearly realized what kind of world this is. If she doesn't do it, who will do it?
"So many people have died, we can't let these bugs continue to live."

She could now reach Sequence 7 at any time, and this time she wanted to know how far she could go if she exerted her full strength.

After breaking away from the strictly ordered world, many of the strangeness in Heshia was finally slowly released. Just as the Water Saint Philuselin said, whether she is the peerless singer of the future, or another rising dark sun, everything is still unknown.
