The wind blew up the white tent and the snow-colored military flag. In front of the large tent of the legion that was about to set off, Boris lowered his head and pondered. The cold wind from the north blew him, and his mood was just like this at this moment - cold and depressed.
.
The Snow Eagle Legion is about to set off north to face the Northern Army. This is the order of the Snow Queen. As a subject of this kingdom, he should unconditionally obey the Tsar's order. However, Boris hesitated. His mood was like a dark cloud above his head.
, gloomy. Why did Mrs. Kisli kill each other? He originally trusted the Snow Queen so much and believed that a country needs a ruthless character like Katarina to control it.
However, since the riot that occurred in the capital, Boris's confidence has been shaken. Is a tsar who points his guns at his own people really a good tsar? He witnessed the massacre with his own eyes, and those unarmed civilians
, what they want is just a mouthful of food and a piece of warm clothing. Don’t they work hard to live? No, they don’t even have a place to survive. Their request is so legitimate, but they are indiscriminately rejected by the military.
The massacre. The child who was holding his mother's body and crying in the street, the firelight reflected his swollen face from crying. Today, that picture still appears in front of Boris.
Also, that Rhodes. What on earth did he do that warranted the queen's decision to mobilize an army and force him to die? I only heard that the northern lord named Rodlawn resisted the northern barbarians in his territory.
Invasion, dealing with green-skinned orcs several times their size, and even risking their lives to go north to lead the green-skinned army to the Troll Mountain. In Kislev, everything Queen Katarina did not do was robbed by a small boy from the north.
The lord did it. That's all. If he were a northerner, he would support Rhodes becoming king.
However, he lives in the city of Kislev. Oath of allegiance is a lifelong matter, but if the person you swear allegiance to is a tyrant? A faint king? Then, what choice should you make? Boris is confused and confused.
Sometimes, he really didn't understand his father's behavior. It was obviously wrong, so why did he still do it? Just like that day, when he commanded the army to encircle and suppress civilians... This was obviously wrong. Why, why did his father, whom he respected and looked up to, still do it?
Want to do this?
He didn't know the answer anymore, because the legion was out again. Walking through the thin snow, he headed north, heading towards the unknown destiny.
…
Osdrorsk Fortress is a military fortress located in the lower reaches of the Twin Rivers. Going north is the land of the North. The Snow Eagle Legion is stationed here. They must repair here first and wait for the reconnaissance cavalry to return and report the information.
Continue heading north. Since Rhodes became king in the north, almost all informants have been eradicated, and those secret police have now become funny existences.
"Father……"
"Is something wrong?"
Boris's complex emotions were written on his face, and Vladimir could feel it almost immediately.
"Well. I think we are going further and further down the wrong path."
He finally spoke, and even he could feel the trembling pronunciation. Boris wanted to go back to the past, to the glorious era of the past. When he was a child, his father took him to fight in the north and south. At that time, their enemy was
Beastmen, greenskins, ratmen... they fought to defend this country. But now, their opponents have become their own people. Yes, in Boris's eyes, the North is not an independent group, they belong to the basic
They are part of the Sreif, and they are also the Kislevites. Moreover, the people of the north are more worthy of respect. They have sacrificed so much for this country over the past hundred years. But now, he wants to target these people who have sacrificed their blood for the country.
people...
"Wrong path?" The father paused for a while, raised his brows, and looked at his child helplessly. "I know what you want to say, child, but the world is not as simple as you think. What is right?
?What is wrong? Is there an answer? No. There is no right or wrong in everything we do now. We will only know it a few years later."
Vladimir sighed.
What he wants to say is that no one can guarantee whether it is Rhodes or the Snow Queen. If either of them serves as leader, it will be good or bad for the country. At this stage, Rhodes seems to be more like a wise king. However, power and
Desire and human corruption are everywhere and all the time.
"Father, I don't understand those profound principles. I only know that we should not fight against our own people. They are also human beings, and they once defended this country. If it weren't for Rhodes, the greenskin army would have destroyed the base two years ago.
Slim flat. We've faced them, haven't we?"
Boris is stubborn.
Vladimir thought deeply, stretched out his rough hands and put them on his son's shoulders——
"So I plan to go to the northern camp tomorrow to interview Rhodes."
His voice was full of sadness, helplessness and regret. Boris had never seen his father look so melancholy. In his memory, he had always been a tall man. His shoulders could bear the responsibility of this family and this family.
Taking on the important responsibilities of the country, the soldiers trusted him and respected him. He was a man who could be relied on. But at this moment, his father showed only fatigue. His eye sockets were sunken, and the sun shone on his face, reflecting the deep
shadow.
"But the scout cavalry hasn't returned yet."
Boris asked puzzledly.
"The scout cavalry has returned a long time ago."
Father glanced out the window and whispered.
"But what if Rhodes..."
"He doesn't know how, and he doesn't dare. I studied the so-called King of the North's experiences along the way. His development from a small northern lord to today largely depends on his reputation. Reputation needs to be improved
To protect someone, killing or imprisoning him is not an honorable method, on the contrary, it will smear his reputation."
Vladimir pursed his dry lips and put his hands on the shoulders of his son Boris——
"Of course, if Rhodes really does this, you will take on the important responsibility of becoming the new leader of the Snow Eagle Legion and leading this legion for me."
Boris's face was full of sadness. His eyes were as sad as his father's.
"Okay, don't worry too much. My son, Rhodes, is the champion chosen by Father Ursun, and he is also the favorite of Thor. The people favored by the gods are definitely not villains with dark hearts.
"
Father Vladimir said lightly. After speaking, he took off the eagle horn from his waist and handed it to young Boris.
"Take it, the Snow Eagle Legion is with you."
Boris took the horn. He wanted to say that he wanted to join his father, but he swallowed his words again because he saw the determination and confidence on his father's face.
