Yesterday, more than thirty civilians came from Bayer Country. They wanted to break into Hanfeng Fortress, but Erwin captured them and put them in a dungeon.
They claim to be farmers who have fled and want to go to Suixue City to beg for food.
"Sir, there are wars everywhere, and all our food has been plundered. We just want to get food. Please forgive us, sir!"
It is rare to see the Bayer people kneeling and praying, but they just listen to these words. If they were not caught, they might immediately change their appearance.
There were Bayers who ran away from Han Maple Fortress in the past. They did go to Shattering Snow City to find food, but they did not go to beg for food, but to rob and kill people. Dozens of books could not write about the bad things these guys did.
over.
For this group of people, Erwin gave two suggestions, one was to kill them, the other was to send them back to Bayer Country.
But Reggie wanted to use them to find out some information about Bayer Country, and a collective interrogation began.
He divided the Bayers into two groups, and he and Erwin interrogated them separately and asked the same questions so that they could compare the authenticity of the answers.
"Where are you from?"
"We come from the village outside Shuanghua City."
"Let another person answer the question, who does Frost Flower City belong to now?"
"Belongs to Her Majesty the Queen."
"Let's change to another person, where is Prince Sean?"
"I don't know, my lord."
"Have any of you been to Hanmaple Fortress?"
A woman replied: "Sir, my man used to be a soldier in Hanfeng Fortress. I have lived in Hanfeng Fortress for six years. Last year, my man died of illness. My children and I were driven back to the village by Lord Nehruv."
.”
Reggie said: "When do snowstorms here usually occur and how long will they last?"
"What is a blizzard, my lord?"
"Well, it's like the strong wind last night."
"I have never seen such a strong wind, my lord."
"Never seen it?"
"I just left Hanfeng Fortress last year. My children can testify for me that there were no such strong winds here before."
The woman didn't look like she was lying, and her child nodded vigorously beside her.
Reggie felt that something was unusual. Because he knew too little about Hanmaple Fortress, Erwin might have ignored the danger at hand.
"Has anyone ever seen a snowstorm like this?"
A middle-aged man replied: "I have seen it, I have seen it in the tundra."
"Are you from the tundra?"
"Yes, sir, only the Freezing Demon can create such a terrible snowstorm. When the huge demon is about to emerge from the ground, such wind and snow will continue to blow for several months."
"Won't you stop at dawn?"
"Yes, but that will be in a few months."
"I mean at dawn!"
"Yes... Sir, at dawn, a few months later..." The middle-aged man looked at Reggie in confusion, and Reggie knew that he had made a common sense mistake again.
The tundra zone has entered the polar circle, and like the planet he once lived on, there will be a polar night phenomenon.
This is a precursor to the appearance of the Freezing Demon. Judging from the description of the middle-aged man, it is not an ordinary level of Freezing Demon.
Could it be that the Frozen Demon has already reached Hanfeng Fortress?
This is illogical. Sophia is still fighting with Sean. Will they turn a blind eye to the cold demon? Or will they all die in the hands of the cold demon?
This was too scary. He knew too little about the Bayer Country and even less about the Frost Demon. The delay in news left him in a very passive situation.
The foreign affairs officer must be allowed to cultivate a group of intelligence personnel, but now that the Frost Demon is knocking on his door, he has no idea about it.
"Have you ever seen the Frost Demon on the way to escape?"
"Never seen it, sir."
"How long have you been away from Frost Flower City?"
"It's been more than ten days, and we came here begging for food."
"I can give you food or let you go, but you must tell me everything you know!"
Reggie made a new list of questions, and the interrogation lasted for the entire day. Reggie and Erwin almost got the same answers.
These people did not lie. Most of them came from the vicinity of Frost Flower City, and a small number of people joined their fleeing team halfway. Their descriptions were basically consistent with Edwina's news. Sophia had occupied most of Bayer.
country, but currently she has not been attacked by the cold demon.
This is puzzling. The Freezing Demons bypassed the Bayer Country and came directly to Hanfeng Fortress. What was this method? How did they do all this?
There are some things that even if you think about it, you can't find the answer. It's getting late, so Erwin reminds you: "Lord, it's time to go back and rest. A snowstorm is coming."
When we walked out of the dungeon, the wind had already picked up in the fortress, and the snow was flying in the wind, which felt a special sting when it hit the face.
"Sir, do you want to live with me or with Miss Rude..."
Natalie pushed Erwin, blushed, and bit her lip.
"Miss Rude, this is a kind advice. Apart from you, there are no other women here. If the soldiers have evil thoughts, at least the adults can be around to protect you."
"I don't need protection!"
Natalie really didn't need Reggie's protection. She was the one protecting Reggie most of the time. Reggie looked at the Hanmaple Fortress in the wind and snow, and was secretly glad for his original choice. If it weren't for this strong barrier,
The Freeze Demon may have arrived in Shattered Snow City.
Two soldiers were lying on the top of the city, laughing at the city, and one of them was still throwing stones below.
"What are they doing? What makes them so happy?"
Erwin sighed: "Forgive them, sir, this ghost place is too boring. The elephant is here again. They just want to have some fun."
"Elephant?" Reggie's curiosity was aroused. In this world, except for the monster in the Lost Mountain, he had never seen a beast in the traditional sense.
It turns out that there are elephants in this world. Reggie climbed to the top of the city wall excitedly. When he saw the elephant, Reggie's face instantly turned pale with fright.
This one does not seem to be the elephant that Reggie is familiar with. Although the outline is very similar, it is much larger than the elephant in Reggie's impression.
The height of the Han Maple Fortress is forty feet, and the height of this elephant is actually more than thirty feet. If it gets close enough, Reggie can even touch its back.
The most special thing is its two ivory tusks.
A normal elephant's tusks should grow on the upper jaw, on both sides of the trunk, and curve upward.
But this elephant's tusks grow on its chin and curve downward. The tusks are at least eight feet long and look more like two curved white towers hanging upside down.
Reggie turned to look at Erwin and said with fear: "You call this thing an elephant?"
Erwin smiled and said: "This is the giant elephant in the North Mirror. It is indeed different from ordinary elephants. Have you never seen a giant elephant? Such things are not uncommon in the north."
"Uh... I guess I've seen it before." In his previous life, Reggie had seen this kind of creature in some documentaries, and paleontologists called it a monstrous creature.
But the elephant couldn't be that big. Reggie was really worried that it would rush over and collapse the city wall.
"Are you just letting it go? The monster is less than a hundred feet away from the city wall! What should we do if it rushes over? Shouldn't you drive it away?"
"Don't worry, sir, this thing probably just wants to find a place to hide from the wind and snow. It wanders here every dusk, but it won't come close to our city wall." Erwin picked up his cloak and blocked the snow for Reggie.
, "If it dares to get close, we will blow it up immediately. Since it hasn't done anything wrong yet, let's let it leave some fun for the soldiers."
Just as Reggie was about to walk down the city wall, he suddenly heard a muffled sound. Reggie trembled and shouted loudly: "Did you see it? It's coming and hitting the wall. Blow it up quickly!"
Erwin pointed at the giant elephant and said: "It's not hitting the wall, it's just digging in the soil. It should be looking for food."
The huge elephant struck the ground hard with the giant teeth on its mandibles, and each strike would splash up a large amount of snow and ice.
"Anyway, it's better to be careful."
Erwin smiled and said: "Don't worry, sir, it will leave early tomorrow morning. Go to my room to rest for a while, drink some hot wine, and have a good sleep."
