65 Rushing Assault

Starfall Year 831, 14th of December, Southern Forest of the Great Ajax Mountains, Dark Forest Fortress

In the midst of the howling snowstorm, snowflakes the size of a goose's feather floating along the northern wind. The entire sky was covered by a layer of gray haze.

The snowstorm was so heavy that it obscured the view of anyone who stood in the middle of it. Even the elves with the sharpest eyesight could not see further than tens of meters into the surroundings.

Right outside the fortress, everything had been frozen into a land of ice in front of the city gates. Even so, there were tens of knights who were heavily equipped with heavy armors standing guard in the middle of the snowstorm. They were lined in a row standing on top of the white layer of frost. There was a black flag with golden linings on its sides set up right in front of the knights' formation, floating in the direction of the cold wind.
