The frozen bell made a rapid sound, flames appeared on the tall city wall, and magical light emerged from the city wall, forming a curtain-like light screen.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!"
"Magician, be prepared! Use the weather to freeze the enemy to death!"
"Don't waste magic! Stop! Those who only know fire magic go to the logistics!"
A large number of soldiers in yellow clothes walked up and down the city wall. As soon as they reached the city wall, a strong wind howled, bringing with them a large amount of gray snowflakes.
I saw a group of dark shadows in the distance in the north wind.
The general guarding the city put down his telescope. He looked at the army in the distance with a solemn expression.
"Request reinforcements immediately, quickly!"
There are more enemies than imagined. They thought that the imperial army would only have 40,000 to 50,000 troops at most, but now it is close to 100,000, and they are likely to fall. And George issued a death order, with three cities and three generals. If anyone falls, then
Just pick up your head and go back to see him.
The enemy obviously chose the central city, Macan, a city without any characteristics and relying entirely on mines.
It is rich in coal mines, and almost all of them are exported to the Luas Empire. The Luas Empire in the north is in great need of coal mines, which is the main source of economy for Kalis. But the funny thing is that the price for exporting coal mines is only one-third of the market average.
one.
Macan's general Difu, a horse thief, joined George's gang four years ago and now becomes a general.
He returned to the comfortable command room. It was very warm here. The magic fireplace was always burning. The refined coal stone would not emit any smell. The magic fireplace could adjust the temperature. Obviously, these were all products of the Luas Empire.
General Diff sat at the dining table and took a sip of hot radish broth. His beard was stained with a lot of soup. The servant holding a clean towel came forward. The former was stunned for a moment. Before that, he should get used to it.
He wiped his mouth with his sleeve.
Then he angrily snatched the towel from the attendant's hand.
"Get out! You guy with no wink, don't stay here."
The attendant left in a hurry, when a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old happened to appear at the door. When Dave saw him, he showed a dull expression, then sighed and put down the knife and fork in his hand.
"You showed up at the right time. It seems I have two surprises today. Sit down, I've prepared hot food for you. I hope you won't say that I treated you badly in front of George."
Dave said angrily.
With a gloomy smile on his face, the young man silently walked to the dining table and sat down. He was surprised that in this season when everyone was wearing bulky clothes and did not dare to show a piece of skin, his clothes were still thin.
"Any news about Lord George? It's snowing too much these days? The reinforcements can't arrive. You must defend the city until the snow subsides."
"Did you see that too? How many people are out there! Damn it? Why can they wade through the snow but not our reinforcements?"
The young man spread his hands and said, "I'm just a messenger? Don't ask me? If you have any questions, you can go directly to Mr. George. Having said that, there are so many troops here and so much food in stock? Isn't it impossible for you to handle it?"
Are you there?"
The other party's face made Dave grit his teeth.
"Okay? Okay? I will defend the city? Just rely on the 40,000 people who defend the city? Just insist until next spring. You can go back and tell George."
Hearing this, the young man nodded, stood up, the chair behind him made an unpleasant sound, and then walked out the door in a swaggering manner.
"If I had known, I would have killed you, a clown who took advantage of the situation, and a bastard who knelt in front of me and licked my shoes."
Difu looked at the latter's back and cursed secretly. Suddenly, the young man turned around and revealed a fierce look.
"What did you say?"
"I didn't say anything, maybe it was the rumor."
Dave looked at each other, the two stared at each other, and the room was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
In an instant, five fierce red lights suddenly appeared, and the boy disappeared on the spot. Dave's eyes widened, and he saw his body, sitting on a chair. It turned out that he was so fat when viewed from behind.
The young man grasped his revelation, looked at the already dead Dave, gritted his teeth and said: "Don't mention that thing! Never!"
Suddenly, there was a clang, and the attendant who entered the door saw this scene and fell to the ground in fright.
The young man turned around, looked at the frightened attendant, and said coldly: "General Dave betrayed the Eagles. I will judge him on behalf of Lord George and tell everyone that this place is under the control of a new general. This is also the case."
Lord George’s order.”
…
The howling wind is blowing from the high wall, carrying ice flakes that can kill people. Once you get close, these sharp ice flakes will cut the exposed skin. If you rush into this windy place, you may see a piece of ice.
A bloody face.
The imperial army did not go further, but stationed themselves at the edge of the forest. Lars held a pile of firewood and walked in the cold forest. The forest here is the same as the forest in the ancient city of Stone. In winter, there is nothing but
Bare trees.
He also imagined that he happened to encounter a deer eating hay under the snow, and then used the skills he learned from his master to hunt, such as approaching downwind, avoiding the opponent's sight, and using the white snow and black shadows to confuse
The enemy will be visually confused, and then he will take the opportunity to kill him with a single blow from his long sword.
Or throwing daggers. He has been practicing for a long time. The master said that his accuracy is very good and he is very talented. Maybe he has become an expert in this area.
The reality was boring. He didn't see a single living creature, nothing that could move. How could a wild animal approach an army?
Just when he could hardly hold the firewood he picked up, a sound of stepping on the snow suddenly came. Although it was not very close, he heard it.
"Who is it?"
He turned around warily and saw a woman wearing linen clothes and a squirrel hat appearing in the distance.
"Russ?"
"Miss Furla?"
The two of them spoke at the same time, and they were stunned for a moment.
"Why are you here?"
The two said in unison.
Then the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and Fulla strode over. She was wearing her old leather boots. They could protect her feet from frostbite, but they would feel heavy when stepping on the snow.
"Let me tell you first, I'm here to collect resin, but I seem to be separated from the others. It's really great to see you here."
Fulla said with a smile.
Lars looked away and saw that the other party was carrying a small wooden bucket.
"Look, I picked a lot."
She smiled and let Lars take a look. There was some brown fluffy substance in the barrel. This was the sap of a tree called hairy trees. In winter, their bark would overflow with resin. Once the weather got too cold, this magical layer of
The resin protects their trunks from the cold.
Folks also use it to keep warm.
"Wow, you picked up a lot of firewood, it's really amazing."
"This! This is nothing."
Lars said with a blush.
"Hey, let's go. It's time for us to go back. Let's go together."
Hearing this, Lars was stunned for a moment and saw Fulla already walking towards the camp.
Looking at the other person's back, Lars was surprised. She was more adaptable than he thought. She might like this kind of civilian life.
In his heart, Lars's desire to introduce her to the Ufa Forest became stronger and stronger.
