Chapter 679: Huge Pressure

Unlearned commoners may believe in the legend of the unicorn, but most nobles and scholars actually know that this legend is exaggerated.

The unicorn does not have the so-called ability to distinguish "unclean people", it just has a strong sense of danger. Any hostile person approaches, it will quickly flee. Only those who do not exude any hostility and are friendly can

It is possible to observe a unicorn up close and even reach out and touch it.

This habit was gradually exaggerated in the singing of troubadours, and was compiled into various legends and stories. They were spread from ten to ten, and the unicorn became a sacred beast that could prove good and evil.

The legend of the unicorn does not stop there. There is another legend that no one can verify yet, and that is its "horn blood".

According to legend, a unicorn's horn condenses the essence of its life. After the horn is severed, the horn will die quickly, but the blood flowing out can allow the person who touches it to resist death and save the life taken away by death.

However, in order to have such an effect, the premise is that the unicorn voluntarily cuts off its horn and voluntarily gives its life to save others.

If the unicorn is captured and has its horn forcibly cut off, the blood in the horn will be tainted by resistance and lose its effectiveness.

Regarding the legend of horned blood, no one has ever verified it in the past. First, unicorns are too rare. To see one from a distance is already a rare encounter. Even if it is captured and kept as a pet, unicorns are not human.

If it can't be trained into a dead warrior, how can it be willing to cut off its horns?

The efficacy of horn blood cannot be verified, so everyone just regards this as a story embellished by troubadours.

Solandel was a unicorn caught as a birthday gift from Andrew. After being domesticated and two years together, it has completely adapted to its owner Solandel. It can also obey commands such as whistles and gestures, and follow

There is no essential difference between a war horse.

Just now, Solandel cleverly used the legend of the unicorn "distinguishing the holy from the evil". After all, most of these soldiers came from poor families and had relatively closed-minded minds. They often took various legends seriously and believed in them.

When the unicorn showed intimacy and friendship to her, in the eyes of the soldiers, it was confirmed that she was a "holy person" just like the legend, and all worries naturally disappeared.

This was Solandel's trick in a critical moment. She used false legends to gain the trust of all the soldiers, and officially succeeded Larson in commanding the army of the Frozen Fortress.

As for Asuma, he found that there was no movement on the inner city wall. Knowing that the garrison did not accept the persuasion to surrender, he stopped wasting words and left directly with his people. He should be preparing to launch a storm.

After the blood and fire fight last night, gunpowder smoke surged up again, and the haze of war once again enveloped the frozen fortress.

Regarding the Ice Fortress garrison, under Solandel's instructions, the commanders, centurions and other grassroots commanders began to count the personnel, reorganize the organization, and reorganize effective combat units.

After calculation, excluding those who died in last night's battle and those who were seriously injured who could not participate in the battle, the four legions of the Ice Fortress still had 20,182 available troops. Only 140,000 of the 200,000 civilians who originally lived here were left. The losses were extremely heavy.

The dead are irretrievable. What can be done now is to organize the survivors to retreat in an orderly manner and take everyone home just like Solandel said.

While the various legions were busy reorganizing, Garrott was treating the wounds at the doctor. Flesh wounds were easy to treat, and the penetrating wounds fortunately did not damage the internal organs.

However, the doctors had no choice but to rely on the extraordinary body's self-healing power to slowly alleviate the extraterrestrial poison in Garrott and the Royal Guards.

Garrott looked very bad at this time, not only because of the poison, but also in a bad mood. His eyes seemed to be on fire, and the soldiers did not dare to say hello when they saw him.

Valley

Garrot walked through the crowd and came to the house that was temporarily set up as a command room. After entering the door, he shouted angrily: "Solandel Van Dogulland! Are you out of your mind?!"

After Garrot finished yelling, he found that there was no one in the command room. A sand table and some war games were placed alone on the table. Only the sound of vomiting could be heard faintly from the bathroom next door.

He went over to open the door and took a look, and fell into silence immediately.

Solandel was seen lying on the side of the sink, vomiting, her blue eyes full of helplessness and fear, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, and tears on her face dripping down her chin.

Obviously, Solandel was afraid.

It's not surprising, how could it not be scary.

Overnight, the lives of the 20,000 surviving soldiers and 140,000 civilians in the entire frozen fortress depended on her. She wanted to use this absolutely inferior force to fight against the 800,000 heavily armed warriors of the Six Kings remnant tribe.

And you must know that this is not just a matter of life and death for 160,000 people.

The Frozen Fortress is the northernmost gate of the Kingdom of Doguland. Once the gate is breached, the only barrier left is the Lenglie Valley, the capital of the "Tayu Province".

That's all in normal times, but now the main force of the Kingdom's army is far away in the desert, and all the elite members of the Regnom family are dispatched. The troops in Lenglie Valley are extremely empty, and it is impossible to stop the 800,000 tribal army.

Lenglie Valley has fallen, and further south is the inland area of ​​​​Mapingchuan.

Once Solandel fails to command here, all 160,000 survivors will die, the interior of the kingdom will be in danger, and tens of millions of compatriots will be ravaged by the armies of the six kings' remnants.

When the time comes, the entire Kingdom of Doguland will be littered with corpses and all life will be devastated. Perseus, who is fighting in the desert, will be attacked from both sides again. The country may be shaken at the slightest, or the country may be destroyed if he is not careful.

Whether such a tragedy will happen depends entirely on whether the remaining soldiers of the Frozen Fortress can fight a good battle. All responsibility falls on Solandel, the commander-in-chief.

She has now taken over the command and has military knowledge, but as she said, she has only practiced war games.

You can play wargames while drinking tea. You can applaud when you win and laugh when you lose. You can lose ten times or a hundred times.

But in reality, at this moment, Solandel has no chance to lose, she can only win. If she loses, she will die, and everyone will die.

It’s no wonder that Solandel was so nervous that she vomited. With this kind of pressure now, even if Larson is resurrected, she will feel a heavy burden. She is just a 14-year-old minor, how can she easily withstand it.

Solandel shed tears and her voice was crying: "Garlot, I am very scared."

Garrott got angry on the spot and asked angrily: "Since you are afraid, why are you in the limelight?! Have you ever fought? Are you sure you can defeat those barbarians?! You are not sure yourself, why should you take over the command?!

"

Solandel wiped her tears with her sleeves, her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were complicated as she said: "General Larson and other generals have sacrificed their lives. Who else can do this except me?"

Garrot showed an impatient look, stepped forward and grabbed Solandel's wrist, and pulled her out without any explanation: "I won't talk to you about this, I promised Perseus to protect your safety. Now, you
