The Ice and Snow Gate is a fortress located on the highest peak of Crystal Snow Mountain. Rather than saying it is a gate, it is more appropriate to say that it is a signpost for a long tunnel.
Behind the huge door is the ice and snow road leading to the ground. The first city of the Crystal Snow Clan is located hundreds of meters underground under the snow mountain. The ice and snow road is full of traps. Dozens of solid iron gates are placed on the road. At the same time, some roads
You must use the elevator to proceed.
The control of all gates and elevators is in the hands of the Crystal Snow Tribe. When they want to close the country, it is difficult for any outsider to enter. Four years ago, the Orc Tribe broke two gates, but they soon realized that attacking
The hardships underground and the losses outweighing the gains.
Therefore, today's orcs have transformed the ice and snow gate into a defense base, relying on the two gates inside to prevent outsiders from entering.
"That's what I said, but..." Xia Han looked in front of the door with two giant statues waiting with confusion on his face: "Why are there so few people?"
Looking from the snowfield in front of the gate, there are only thousands of orc soldiers patrolling near the entrance, and the newly built guard towers and bases do not meet the scale of their strategic needs. It can be said that these orcs defend other places, but the importance of this gate
It’s not smaller than Xuecheng, so why are there so few people?
"Mostly because they think Snow City is foolproof..."
The elf princess Fiona answered like this, and the white tiger on the side immediately spoke to help: "Yes, who would have expected that so many white tigers would cause the fall of Snow City."
The explanations of the two people made some sense, but they didn't actually think deeply about it. They were no longer needed to participate in the subsequent battle. After the fall of Snow City, the White Tigers were severely damaged, and the gate of the Ice and Snow Road would be attacked from both sides by mages and the Crystal Snow Tribe.
, no matter how you think about it, there is no work for them.
"Little guy." Bai Xue also held the same view: "Let's not get close to each other this time, just watch from the side."
She felt that it was enough for Xia Han to be a hero, but in Xia Han's heart, if the defense of the Orcs was just that, there was really no need for him to intervene.
"Are they coming?" he asked Fiona.
The elf princess closed her eyes to communicate with the phoenix in the distance, and then nodded: "The Red Fang Battleship is coming."
She informed about the situation in Snow City. The mage troops had already joined the humans and rushed to the ice and snow gate without stopping. Although the orcs suffered some casualties, most of them had successfully escaped from the snow city and were avoiding direct confrontation with humans.
Coming from the side.
This situation made Xia Han feel strange. The orcs' actions to avoid the confrontation were understandable, but they were likely to arrive later than humans by taking a sideways approach. Now that the war was not going well for the orcs, it stands to reason that the orcs should rush to the ice gate without fear of sacrifice.
Do they want to outflank humans?
However, it is impossible for these troops to defend the Ice and Snow Gate to outflank... As long as the Crystal Snow Tribe surges forward, humans can fight alongside them.
"Let's hide first..." In any case, the current situation is extremely beneficial to humans, and Xia Han is happy to enjoy the benefits. The three of them and one beast hide in the nearby mountains, and dawn comes in an instant.
When the snowfield was obscured by thick cold fog and was about to receive the first sunshine, Xia Han relied on Fiona's help to open the underground communication, and a familiar girl appeared in the mirror.
"What's wrong... We have received your notice and have dispatched troops as soon as possible." Crystal, the princess of the Jingxue Tribe, asked with confusion: "Do you have any more questions?"
"No." Xia Han breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Just to make sure."
As expected, the mages led by Qin Huang notified the Jingxue Clan after the fall of Snow City. The overall situation had been decided and there seemed to be nothing to worry about.
"Please rest assured of our promise." Crystal smiled: "Little mage... you can tell the mage lord that the victory in this battle will definitely belong to us."
She smiled and closed the communication - at this moment, Xia Han's hair stood on end.
Little Mage...Crystal calls him Little Mage? Doesn't the princess of Jingxue Tribe know Xia Han? This is impossible...The first time Crystal saw Xia Han, he was in elf form.
What's going on? A terrible guess appeared in Xia Han's mind. He swallowed, and a shocking wave surged in his heart - Could the Princess of the Jingxue Tribe who he just talked to be fake?
What would happen if she was fake.
Within a day, the mage and the Crystal Snow Tribe will break the blockade, and the two tribes will join together. Then... all humans will be outflanked by the orcs and the Crystal Snow Tribe, trapped in the ice and snow road with no way to escape.
"Princess...contact Lord Qin Huang and tell him not to come!" Thinking of this, Xia Han felt a little confused. He informed Fiona to take action, but stopped her the next moment...
"No, no need."
He suddenly remembered the most critical question: Where is the real crystal?
The plan of the Orcs certainly did not arise suddenly in a day or two. However, the crystal that Xia Han encountered a year ago was a real crystal, which also proved that the crystal was switched within a year. Presumably neither the people of the Jingxue Tribe nor the mages noticed anything unusual.
, and the real crystal should not die.
Xia Han only received part of the Jingxue Clan's faith a while ago, which is the best evidence that the Crystal is alive. The possibility of the Orcs keeping her is very high. If the fake crystal is discovered, they can use the real crystal to threaten the Jingxue Clan's betrayal.
human beings.
"Princess, can you teleport to the Jingxue Clan's city?" Xia Han calmed down and began to sort out the clues from scratch. The most important thing is to confirm the guess first.
"It's feasible in terms of distance, but I haven't been there, so I don't have coordinates." Fiona replied: "Without coordinates, it's easy to make transmission errors. If it reaches the ground, it will be crushed to death."
Her answer seemed to indicate that Xia Han's guess was incorrect. The orcs without coordinates had no way of swapping crystals.
But the orcs can find the coordinates through new ways. For example, the magic waves transmitted by the underground mages are captured. Furthermore, there may be traitors - this possibility is really not small.
After Xia Han came back, he heard from Bai Xue the information the Orcs had about them. Not many people in the entire Qilin Continent knew about his escape with Bai Xue, and the first person who could recognize Bai Xue's identity was the people who participated in the hunt...
Those men were all dead—died by the sword of Thornless and his Knights.
But Xia Han has another clue. He remembers that Ji Yun and Ji Bai both said that Xia Yun has protected him since childhood, which means that Xia Yun and his subordinates may recognize Bai Xue... and Ji Bai and Bai Yue who have met Bai Xue.
,Xiao Sheng and three others...
There are traitors among these people. With such a small number of people having traitors, it is impossible for no one in the huge temple to be loyal to the Orcs. And if the rebellious mage participated in the Crystal Snow Clan war, he would bring down the people in the palace or the command room.
If the coordinates are leaked...the orcs can capture the crystal.
Thinking about it this way, things seem to be getting more and more complicated.
