"Did you say you had a duel with a sandworm or a mutated sandworm?" Xavier keenly grasped this point.
"Yes, Lord. Listening to what Chief Norbert said, I feel that maybe the demonic energy really swept through during the extreme cold storm. It may have a great impact on the species. After all, you have to know,
Even the queen is only eight or nine meters long. Ordinary male explorer sandworms can grow to more than ten meters, which is impossible."
A trace of solemnity flashed in Candelon's eyes, and he unconsciously held the hunting knife beside him. He had used this hunting knife to pierce the body of the terrible sandworm. As the sandworm roared in pain, the brown fluid flowed out.
Cum all over his arm.
He thought this was just the sandworm's death struggle. You know, he had killed a giant sandworm that was comparable to the queen of insects! But when he first arrived at the main city of the canopy, a vague uneasiness enveloped his heart.
.
Human life is very fragile. The young Candelon stared blankly at dozens of giant sandworms wreaking havoc on the city of the canopy. They snaked up the huge tree trunks, and people were like preyed on insects and ants.
"It's the youngest son of the Avard family! Run quickly...fast! Quickly..."
Someone called his name, and Candelon turned his head with difficulty. It was the bakery owner in Bayshu District. Candelon watched helplessly as he was quickly devoured by the disgusting sandworm using its spiral teeth.
Candelon staggered around and ran towards home. His face was as pale as paper, and for the first time he felt so useless.
Such a huge tree-top city, known as the miracle of the sea desert, was completely helpless, and the entire city, comparable to the red maple boluo, disappeared overnight.
Demonic energy? Is there really such a thing? Xavier bit a feather and thought for a moment.
"Cecil Qute, meet the lord." In the deathly silence, the young man in the linen shirt broke the panicking silence.
"My father is a baron of the Autumn family. Does he have control over the sales of armor and knight swords for knights? However, with the spread of hot weapons in recent years, people prefer to use fire blunderbuss weapons. The family business is
It’s also a bit desolate. In my father’s words, hot weapons will one day replace cold weapons.”
Master Cecil Qute shrugged and sighed: "My father asked me to come immediately when he knew that the lord was convening people. Although I didn't know what he planned to do at first, no matter how stupid he is now,
, I also know what you are planning to do, my lord."
Cecil smiled bitterly: "And Chief Norbert, is this also the reason why you put Chief Adolf in the dungeon?"
Norbert spread his hands and was noncommittal. As the commander of the city defense army, he had a close relationship with the Autumn family. He also knew something about the eldest son of the Autumn family. "He is the person who can inherit the Autumn family." Norbert
So commented.
"Let me first remind you two that the horror of an extreme cold storm cannot be described by humans. Only when you have truly seen its horror can you know what despair is."
Cecil touched his nose and said with a wry smile.
"Master Qiute, what do you mean?" Arthur, Luo Laihan and Candelon all looked at the young man with his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
"I don't plan to move south to the Winter Fortress." Seeing the three of them looking confused, Xavier looked out the window with his fingers crossed and replied calmly.
Dull, confused, and shocked expressions appeared on the faces of the three people in turn. Their cheeks trembled, and they couldn't believe what Xavier said before.
Why don't you move south to the Winter Fortress? Are you waiting to die here? The corner of Candelon's mouth trembled, and he looked at Xavier's profile with a plain face in great shock.
Xavier has been staring out the window, where he can see the tributary of the Ainmo Sea flowing through the Noli Sea. This is one of the tributaries of the Winter Sea, and Noli is actually an island surrounded by the Silver Sea in the south and the Winter Sea in the north.
Xavier's profile was bathed in the long-lost sunshine, his eyelashes were very long, and a golden halo shone on his eyes, like a blurry fog.
"Your Highness... you mean that we will not move to Xuansiti's Winter Fortress, but stay in... Nori?" Arthur licked his lips, scratched his head, and looked at Xavier tentatively.
"Yes." Xavier nodded seriously, "Norbert probably has the same idea as me, right?"
"Indeed, the lord has seen everything. After so many years in Noli, Lord Stark's escape eventually led to more and more Noli people dying at the hands of his compatriots. And Noli's low status is also due to his migration south.
This is not the fate we deserve."
"The only thing we have is me. I would rather die at the hands of the beasts in the extreme cold storm than live in humiliation at the feet of the Xuansti people. I don't want Noli to become synonymous with poverty and lowliness forever."
Norbert unbuttoned his shirt, and shocking scars were prominent on his skin: "I am a city defense soldier, but the funny thing is that this is not a medal on the battlefield, but was injured by the supervisor while building the Winter Fortress.
."
"Since Winter Fortress can withstand extreme cold storms, why can't Noli? The buildings of Winter Fortress are built with the blood of our Noli people. If we can build a Winter Fortress, then we can build a second one.
The second one. And it will definitely save more time than the first one."
The more Norbert spoke, the more excited he became. Gurley on the side gently tugged on the hem of his clothes to signal him to speak softer.
"Lord, it's time for you to make a choice between the cliff and the wolf. We may still have a chance to deal with the wolf!" Norbert gritted his teeth and knelt on one knee in front of Xavier with a "pop" sound, his eyes extremely firm.
"But you are betting on the lives of the entire Norwegian people, child." Finally, the old man in the corner stood up tremblingly. He was the sixth person Arthur found, but from the beginning to now he has been in
silence.
"Old ancient Doib Heywald is the person responsible for the drawing of the Winter Fortress, and the person in charge of the entire Winter Fortress defense system." The old man coughed slightly, and his eyes were already a little cloudy. If it weren't for the
Crutches made it difficult for him to stand.
But when they heard his self-reported name, everyone was shocked, even Arthur. He thought he just met the construction team leader of Winter Fortress, but he didn't expect that he would be the general manager.
!
Luo Laihan and others all nodded to the old man. You must know that this is the builder of the Winter Fortress. The Winter Fortress that can block the extremely cold storm is in his hands!
"Lord, it took three full years for the Winter Fortress, and the number of deaths was almost two-thirds of the current Noli people. And the next extreme cold storm is only one month away, and you still..." The old man sighed.
.
"Master Goodoy, I would like to ask why it took so long?" Xavier said with a smile.
"Because the stone construction of the city wall is too complicated, and the manpower and material resources spent will scare you." The old man shook his head, as if he was laughing at Xavier's naivety.
"What if I am sure that I can build the entire wall of Nori in ten days?"
