This war is extremely stupid. Originally, at this time, the Noli people should have started to store food to survive the extreme cold storm.
Although that was ordered by the old lord last year, the result of relying on the Xuansiti people was the disaster three or four years ago.
In the situation of extreme food shortage, the Nori people became the victims. Fortunately, the Nori nobles had noble Santinoa blood after all. The Winter family would arrange a warm manor for them, while the ordinary Nori nobles
Lebanese men can only build a winter fortress and get a few slices of black bread for their families.
"Stop doing this. Is power really so important, more important than your family?" Michelle's eyes were a little moist, and she whispered.
"Baron Holmulande said that as long as we capture the city of Noli, we will not move south to Xuansiti this year. He promised that he would build a wall comparable to the Winter Fortress to resist evil beasts and sea monsters!"
On the tower, next to the huge silver clock, a man climbed up with difficulty.
"Holmuland, leader of the signal corps, Long." Long fell on the watchtower of the tower in embarrassment. If it weren't for the pressure of Kege and White, how could he have the courage to come to the tower where the witch was alone!
Michelle obviously didn't expect anyone to appear. She shrank back in fright. The temperature around her dropped sharply, and the terrifying ice pick condensed and made a harsh "zaza" sound.
"Well, I think I can represent Holmullander, and you can represent yourself. Is it possible for us to negotiate?"
Long glanced at Michelle and looked away awkwardly. If it were normal, he would go up and tease a girl with torn clothes and white skin in front of him, but this is a witch! A witch contaminated with evil will encounter them
, who knows what will happen!
"Impossible, I can feel the breath of the extreme cold storm. It is not a force that humans can contend with." Michelle took a few steps back and hid her body behind the silver bell.
Isn't that right? They are all contaminated by the devil's breath. Monsters and witches are originally servants of the devil! Long lowered his head and carefully concealed the disgust in his eyes.
"So you think we should still run away like dogs to Shansti and beg for their black bread?"
Long couldn't help but sneered, as if he was amused by Michelle's innocent words.
"We can store winter grains like last year, Xuan Siti just needs to give us a place to shelter from the winter." Michelle bit her lip. If Long could see the other side of the silver bell, he would find that it is already covered with frost.
Full of frost.
"They will only give us cellars! Or thatched houses that cannot even be protected from the cold wind! If you want to live in a stone house, you have to pay a huge rent of 70 Tongling per day! Do you know how many people have frozen to death?"
Long stood up suddenly, his nose trembling with anger.
"Yes, you have a stone house that your dear Lord João pays one silver a day, but you know that in the damp cellar, infectious diseases and tetanus will kill them! There are no professional doctors and no money to buy medicines.
, the mortality rate among the elderly and children will be so high that it scares you!”
"Even so, don't your Lord Baron and you, the attendants who follow him, still live in the main city of Xuansiti? How hypocritical, Lord Signal Soldier."
Michelle shook her long chestnut hair, and the water mist in the air condensed on her long hair, as if it was covered with translucent silver gauze.
"Have you seen it? Holmland is a very poor subsidiary city. It is not even the size of a district in the center of Sentinoa. Even the Baron can only live in the stone house in the north of Xuansi.
inside……"
"Noli can't go on like this. I believe Lord João thinks so too. It was once one of the nine capitals and it was once prosperous. So what if it's an extremely cold storm? The Winter Fortress can withstand it, and we can, too.
Can!"
Long stood up, his words were sonorous and powerful, and there was burning faith in his eyes.
"But if you destroy all the walls of the outer city of Noli, it will be impossible for you to survive this year's extreme cold storm!"
For some reason, Michelle found it difficult to refute Long. Are they really doing something wrong? From what he said, the "refuge sponsor" advocated by the old lord was more like an evasion of responsibility.
"The Baron once said that a brother once gave him a blueprint. According to the blueprint, he was sure to build the entire city wall of Noli City within one and a half months!"
"..."
"Hey, your skeptical attitude is irritating! We believe the Baron. He said that resistance will bring food. We have full stomachs for the first time in the past few days. He said that if we don't have fuel ore, we can make it ourselves.
, and from the saltpeter, we also made matchlock guns."
"Please also believe in Lord Baron Yi! If you believe in him, you can have enough to eat now, and the same will happen in Xintuo City!" Long looked at Michelle sincerely.
"Stupid, but I also admire your Lord Baron. To be able to convince his subordinates so much is a leadership talent."
Michelle mocked, and she gave a cold "hum".
I was almost convinced just now! It takes one and a half months to build a city wall that surrounds the entire Nori. It is something that even the most authoritative craftsmen of Wat'ar in Sentinoa cannot complete.
It's just an ignorant baron bragging about his subordinates even more ignorantly.
Once that baron's lies are broken, what will be waiting for him? Withstanding the extreme cold storm on his own, leading the entire Noli people to be buried with him, what a madman!
"Are you rejecting this?" The fiery light in Long's eyes dissipated. He held the gun at his waist and looked at Michelle gloomily.
"I want to take everyone in Xintuo City to seek refuge in Xuansiti. If you stay here, you will only die!" Michelle coughed lightly. Her physical condition no longer allowed normal blood circulation.
The icy cold air had already invaded her body. Whenever she used ice, the air would penetrate deeper until she lost consciousness completely.
Michelle will become a disaster at that time. It is difficult for witches to live beyond the age of forty. People say that it is because they are contaminated with the breath of the devil.
How do they know that from the moment the witch wakes up, the same magic power is destroying them at the same time?
"Then please go to hell, Miss Witch, for blocking Noli's future!" Long smiled ferociously. He quickly drew out his blunderbuss and fired a shot at Michelle on the other side of the silver bell.
It was too late, but it was so fast. The moment the bullet flew out of the barrel, the whole world was frozen. Long suddenly found that his body was so sluggish, as if time had been frozen.
"Crack" was the sound of the bullets freezing. Long watched in horror as the bullets shot out were covered with ice crystals, turned into ice cones, and then shot back.
He couldn't avoid it at all, he couldn't even raise his hand or turn sideways! Not far away, was Michelle's cold gaze, without any emotion.
Without human hesitation and human emotions, Long felt like he was looking at a piece of ice, and the next moment the ice pick penetrated his chest, directly damaging his heart.
"Huo, Hall...Mulande...Long live" Long raised his head with difficulty and shouted towards the south, blood spurting out from his throat.
Michelle's eyes changed slightly, confusion and coldness transformed in her eyes. She covered her head tightly, and the silver bell turned into an ice sculpture in an instant and was annihilated.
