coming aid.””
““Yet true guardians have never relied on heavenly power or destined favor. They stand by unyielding resolve, by the duty of bearing a world’s suffering upon mortal flesh, and by the will to perish rather than let all folk fall again into shadow.””
““Upon these waters of Besadamo, we mortals shall make our stand. Our broken bodies shall be our ramparts, our blood our blades. We hold this sea line until our last breath.””
As his voice faded, the gale roared and the sea surged in answer.
Throughout the mage-fleet, every weary, wounded soldier lifted their gaze. Fatigue and despair burned away, replaced by unquenchable resolve. The tattered banners stirred in the bitter wind, their fractured sacred runes glowing faintly—fragile, yet unbroken.
而就在此刻，远方魔雾骤然翻滚暴涨。
海天一线之间，无尽暗能轰然沉降，整片苍穹瞬间暗沉，寒浪骤然凝滞。原本散漫蛰伏的魔军，瞬间气息暴涨，凶戾煞气铺天盖地席卷四野。两岸魔兵列阵推进，踏碎滩涂岩土，黑压压的黑影步步逼近，威压沉郁窒息。长空之上，奇美拉与野性狮鹫振翅齐鸣，千禽掠空，遮天蔽日，俯冲杀机骤然锁定海面舰队。
魔雾最深处，巨型魔舰巍峨静立。
欧美娅孤影立于舰首最高处。
她一袭暗沉黑袍随风微动，周身无滔天魔气肆虐，无可怖权能震荡，却自带冰封天地的死寂寒凉。褪去人性、褪去执念、褪去所有温情过往的她，已是纯粹的黑暗法则载体，眼内空空荡荡，无喜无悲、无憎无怒，唯有绝对冰冷的秩序碾压。
她静静看着前方那支残破不堪、摇摇欲坠的光明舰队，看着六名耗尽本源、沦为凡人的昔日顶尖强者，看着那群浴血死守、蝼蚁般顽强的人族将士。
微弱、渺小、残破、濒临覆灭。
却偏偏，在绝对黑暗的绝境之中，硬生生燃着一缕不肯熄灭的微光。
她薄唇轻启，声线清冷无温，随风漫过千里海域，落进每一寸死寂空气。
““False peace has softened mortal hearts, and this lingering glimmer deludes the dying world.””
““You strive against the tide of shadow with mortal flesh. A futile, stubborn struggle.””
话音落，总攻令下。
In that instant, the dark host advanced as one. Winged beasts stooped to kill, towering waves crashed over the waves, and unending menace sealed the entire strait beneath its shadow.
The final, decisive battle of Besadamo Strait had begun.
