As the sun sets, the warm red afterglow reflects the vast hills that are undulating, and the shadows brought by the high slopes cover many low-level places.

The surface here seems to have been plowed countless times, with potholes and gullies everywhere, and there are traces of burning in many places.

Broken flags and broken leather, these debris that the battlefield scavengers were unwilling to spend time picking up, were distributed in pieces on this hill, and looked like an old garbage dump that had not been cleaned up.

The only thing that is more eye-catching is the few unaffected green grasses. Most of them are on the edge of the battlefield, with green stems and leaves.

If you observe the mushrooms growing next to them, as well as the faint bloody smell and odor emitted by the warm, soft, black moist soil, you will understand what fertilizer is nourishing them.

During the war, many people die here, and a lot of uncleaned minced meat buried underground, and the blood seeps into how deep it is.

Even if the Del family sprays diluted holy water during the truce to eliminate the resentment of the dead, there is still an restless and unknown aura in the air. If ordinary people with weak will stay for a long time, they will easily lead to hallucination and crazy.

This kind of place is an excellent casting environment for black wizards and necromancers.

If the alliance had not recaptured the sixteen countries in the West and the great nobles would not dare to recruit these evil existences again, more people would have died in this battlefield.

On the high slopes to the north of the hills, a magnificent black city stands silently between the heaven and earth. With just a glance, you can feel the cold and solemn momentum.

There are three famous war fortresses on the Del family's defense line, and this Blood Thorn City is the strongest of them.

Compared with the residential cities behind, the militarization here is more outrageous.

The walls dozens of meters high are covered with thick protective plates made of black iron. The protective plates are evenly distributed with holes as thick as sticks, which look dense.

There are sharp thorns loaded with sieves that can shoot climbing enemies into sieves that are riddled with holes when activate the magic circle.

The number of squadrons on the city wall and the continuous shooting crossbow chariots set up on the overlooking tower is also so large that it is daunting.

There are seven special spires in the city, which are as high as 100 meters and stand in various parts of the city. Each spire has a faint glow at the top.

If the sky gets completely dark, you can see it even if it is very far away, it is quite like a lit pointer in a coastal area.

Of course, this is just a joke when soldiers chat. In fact, these spires are magic circle towers and play an important role in the city’s defense.

In order to invite people from the Western Imperial Association to come and build it, the Del family paid a huge price.

However, judging from the results, the deal did not suffer any losses.

Xueji City has no geographical advantage, and is still the most prominent position in the arc-shaped defense line, attracting considerable firepower. However, with these magic towers, the city has repeatedly blocked the fierce flying wing kingdom and has always stood firm in the storm.

It is said that during the process of spreading rumors, this city has evolved into a terrifying place. It was used by parents from the Feiyi Kingdom to scare disobedient children. Its reputation can be imagined.

The war broke out for four months. The Flying Wing Kingdom troops were divided into two groups, each of which selected Iron Acropolis and Rift City as the target of attack, in order to temper the recruited knights.

The attack on Bloody Knot City was not many times. Instead, this side took the initiative to attack and fought several large-scale field battles with the opponent, laying a lot of blood on the legions guarding Bloody Knot City and looting a lot of supplies.

It was not until the Feiyi army reduced its attack intensity against the other two cities that the head of the Del family gathered his sword and led the Iron Cavalry back.

According to his conjecture, the flying wing troops in the northeast and northwest directions will gather under the Blood Thorn City in a few days.

In addition to revenge, there are reasons why winter is coming.

Although the south of Thors is not as cold as Winter City, the season is here, and the vast land is also covered with snow, which is very unfavorable for attack, so nearly half of the flying wing troops will evacuate.

According to usual practice, they would engage in a fierce or tragic siege before leaving, greatly weakening the power of Xuejicheng.

Xuejicheng, which had sufficient storage of materials, was not afraid of such a challenge, but sharpened his knife and prepared to give the enemy a few more ruthless moves.

The people of the Flying Wing Kingdom have always been proud and have to give them a chance to rush to death.

The head of the Del family, Ent, was not very worried about the upcoming siege station.

The plan has been formulated and the arms have been issued. The rest is to wait and then defend in an orderly manner.

In the empty and simple study, Ent stood in front of a huge sand table, deducing and analyzing the future direction of war.

Due to the climate, whether it is an offensive and defensive city or a large-scale battle, it will definitely not be able to fight in winter. The focus of the fight between the two sides is mutual infiltration and destruction.

This year, the enemy was prepared quite well. He gathered various intelligences and found that there were many famous enemy mercenaries, and adventure teams came with the army.

These small teams are inconspicuous when the two armies are fighting, but they are very good at small-scale team battles and will obviously be put into use this winter.

In this case, more people will be left in the Iron Acropolis and Rift Valley City this year, and too many people will not be allowed to leave.

"Lola, inform General Missio and General Rize, to limit the number of leave soldiers, each keeping one thousand elite troops, and form more scout teams to deal with the enemy. Remind Chu En and other cities in the hinterland to let them pay attention to detecting the enemy after winter, in case of accidents."

A cold sound rang in the room, and the female knight standing in the corner stepped out and came to a few meters behind Ent to kneel on one knee.

After waiting for a moment, confirming that Ent had no other requests, she responded seriously: "Abide by your wishes, Lord Master!"

After the handsome female knight stood up again, she rushed to the messenger room without any delay.

In less than a few minutes, she returned from completing the task, holding a few paper letters in her hand.

"Master of the family, this is the letter sent by General Ruize and the butler in the past few days."

The female knight came to Ent's side and presented the letter with both hands.

Ent glanced at him and it was not an expedited letter, which showed that neither of his two sons had any problems and was just a normal report.

The genius eldest son killed many enemies and made real military achievements. The second son followed the housekeeper around Langdon's house. During this period, there was no highlight or anything worthy of praise. This was probably what it was.

"Put it on the table first."

Instead of rushing to observe, he decided to handle other matters first.

It was not until he was free at night that he tore open the envelope and took out the letters inside to view.

Kill two initially-level official knights?

He was very satisfied with the eldest son's record and felt it was normal.

But what he really expected was what happened to Langdon's house.

Whether it is the suspected prince-level blood clan, the intervention of the Knights Alliance, or the performance of the second son...

If it weren't for the Fire Painted Code, it was indeed from the Butler of Wall, and he would doubt whether this information was forged.

The housekeeper wrote very detailed and credible in the attacks of the Langdon family and the causes and consequences of other storms.

However, he worked hard to polish his knight skills, defeated the outstanding peers of the Langdon family, and survived the danger, but successfully broke through to the peak attendant level... Are you sure that Charon Del?

If the second son had performed two or three out of ten of these times before, how could he be so disappointed that he gave up on the other party and even regarded it as a shame?
