When Rhodes returned from the Desolate Tomb, he first met up with Caroline, and then went to the Dark Whisper Castle, where it had become a real battlefield.
The Kislev regular army is besieging this castle shrouded in darkness. A total of four thousand troops have completely besieged the Dark Word Castle. According to Rhodes' previous understanding of this castle, the people living in the town and the castle are not
There will be more than 2,000 people. That's about 1,560 people. Excluding those who escaped on the night of the disaster, even if the vampire lord resurrects all the corpses inside, the total number of undead soldiers will only be around 1,000 people.
A legion of four thousand people surrounded a castle with only a thousand people. How could this be a siege? They were preparing for a massacre... Only after talking to the commander-in-chief of the legion did Rhodes know the reason - after the fall of Dark Whisper Castle,
The Snow Queen learned the news here, and in a rage, she mobilized half of her army and rushed to the south to destroy the city. The vampire lord must be inside anyway...
Catalina's huge reaction gave Rhodes a reason to doubt, and it should be said that the personal guards that the Queen had given to her before were her confidants and capable men. Only in this way, she
That's why I'm so angry about the situation here.
You must know that Dark Whisper Castle is not a big castle, and its strategic value and economic status are not high. It is at best the southern version of Black Hammer Castle. The Queen does not need to go to war for such a small castle.
Four thousand troops... The number of permanent troops stationed in the capital of Kislev during peacetime is only this number... The reason why Katarina would be so angry is obvious. You know, it eventually led to the panic of the Erengrad Rebellion.
The trigger for the change was the death of the Frost Witch named Aphra, one of the Ice Queen's most capable assistants.
"Lord Rhodes, your deeds have spread in Kislev. We all know that you are a true hero. In order to hunt down vampires and ensure the safety of the people, you are willing to risk your life and go to the vampire's territory.
Lair. Her Majesty the Queen already knows about this, and we are also ordered to come here to exterminate the vampires. You know, before the Erengrad rebellion ends, the people of the capital cannot be threatened."
Admiral Vinos, the general who commanded this legion, respectfully told Rhodes about the situation on the front line. Although some of the battle conditions on the front line could be heard one after another in the past two months, it was still not complete. From this front line
The information received by the general is undoubtedly the most accurate.
Rhodes was just a little secretly happy. According to Venos, the soldiers who escaped from the battle in the Dark Word Castle dungeon reported the battle that day to the Snow Queen, allowing the Queen to clearly understand the situation that day... After all, Pierno was not himself.
The one who killed him was seen by everyone. The battle ax was originally aimed at the vampire, but the vampire was too fast and ordinary people were no match... And before Pierno died, he tried to save him and never left him.
Don't give up... This is obvious to all. It was also because of that battle that the threat of the Strigor vampire finally attracted enough attention from Catalina... It was probably Pierno's own actions before his death that Rhodes finally won the queen's favor.
trust……
"This is what we should do - pay allegiance to the Queen."
Rod came in politely.
"By the way, how is the war ahead? During this period, I have been focusing on hunting down vampires, and I am afraid that I will be separated from the main force. My men?"
Rhodes asked.
"The soldiers of Blackhammer Castle are very brave..." Venos simply answered.
"As for the war..." He paused and continued, "The war on land is intense, but at sea, Her Majesty the Queen has assembled a large fleet, which is enough to blockade the port of Erengrad."
"A huge fleet?"
Rhodes asked curiously. You know, Kislev has never had a large-scale regular navy. Ninety percent of the country's ships and gunboats are concentrated in Erengrad, so the rebels will be so arrogant, because if there is no siege,
The navy can't encircle it at all, and supplies will continue to be transported from the sea. What Rhodes is curious about is how Catalina can build a huge maritime fleet in a short period of time? You know, with the productivity of the medieval world, building a fleet,
It will take at least two years, not including crew training. And it has only been about half a year since the Erengrad rebellion. In half a year, Catalina has built a fleet? It is really incredible.
"Yes, the fleet has already moved towards the port of Erengrad. It is estimated that it is now confronting the rebel fleet in the Gulf of Kislev."
Vinos answered.
Rhodes did not ask further about this question. Vinos was just an officer and could not know too much about the Snow Queen. Even if he knew, the Queen would not let him talk about it. Catalina's style of doing things was simple.
De still knows that this female czar always knows the details of others and does not allow others to inquire about her details. If he really knows what she wants, he probably will not leave her territory alive.
"I hope this rebellion ends as soon as possible." Rhodes said perfunctorily.
"Well... I plan to attack the city at dawn tomorrow. Lord Rhodes, do you think?"
Vinos asked respectfully. Judging from his respectful actions, Rhodes knew that Catalina's attitude towards him had indeed changed. Because this army was originally under the control of Vinos, however, during the attack,
The city has such a respectful attitude towards himself. If he were a duke, a great noble or something like that, it would not be surprising for Venos to be so respectful. But he is actually just the lord of a small castle in the north. At most, plus
As the Chosen One, Vinos can completely decide military actions on his own, and there is no need for this.
Fortunately, no one seemed to know about his capture of the Soul-Binding Dagger. By some strange combination of circumstances, Pierno died, and only he, the witch hunter, the dwarf, and the shaman participated in the raid on the tomb.
Among these three comrades, except for the witch hunter, who is new to the team, the other two can definitely be trusted. However, Diego and the Kislev factions have no conflicts of interest. They came to this ice and snow kingdom purely to hunt.
Kill those dark monsters. So, what is certain is that he will not reveal the secret.
"Yes, but it doesn't mean much if it's not dawn. Some vampires are indeed afraid of the sun, but not every vampire is afraid of the sun. Even if you let a lord-level vampire be exposed to the sun, it still won't have much impact.
They just don't like it. Just like us humans don't like a dirty environment, but if we have to stay, we'll stay there; the residents of Darkwhisper Castle once hung garlic in their houses to drive away vampires, but there was nothing
Use, they want to kill you, a few garlics are useless, the same goes for sunlight, wooden stakes, and silver weapons. It may be useful against low-level vampires, but you have to be careful when dealing with vampire lords. Don't expect them to be afraid of us during the day. I and I
They fought each other."
Rhodes added. Of course, this is just a supplement. This battle is actually inevitable. The key issue is how to minimize the damage. After all, there are at least a thousand undead and ghouls in the city.
