Under the bright moon, Manasrib shuttled back and forth among the clouds. Under the night sky, the northern soldiers kept working hard, building batch after batch of siege weapons. The dwarf gunners wiped the heavy artillery back and forth, looking forward to siege the city.
The day's moment to shine.
The dim sun rises and falls every day, and the red leaves sway in the wind, emitting a sad dirge. Occasionally, black clouds fill the sky, as if the end is coming. For a month, the northern army is preparing to attack the city. Supplies.
The mountains are built into hills, but the food and grass are getting less and less. As the season enters autumn, transportation becomes more and more inconvenient. In the middle of winter, the rivers are frozen, making water transportation impossible. The reduction of food and supplies will make the military unstable and the cold climate will
People who stay outdoors will freeze to death. Various factors mean that the northern army can only capture the city of Kislev before winter comes. Otherwise, they can only retreat to the north and fight again next year. Next year, I don’t know what the situation will be like.

In the cold night, Rhodes and his soldiers lit a fire in the open space and prayed. This was a must-do before a war. He prayed to the gods, hoping that they would bless his warriors so that they could move forward bravely and without fear. As an outsider,
Or, Rhodes didn't believe this at first, but relying on the power of gods to defeat his opponents and save the day countless times, Rhodes had no choice but to believe it. The firelight warmed him and illuminated him. Tomorrow was the day to siege the city, but he still
not sure.
This lack of confidence comes from many aspects. First of all, the city of Kislev has the strongest city wall in the north of the Old World, and its fortifications can be said to be impregnable. In the Old World, apart from the imperial capital Altdorf, there is probably no other city.
With such tall and solid city walls and fortifications. Moreover, the northern coalition forces do not have an absolute advantage. Their numbers are three times that of their opponents, but in a siege, the three times difference in numbers is nothing. A city wall,
Enough to keep tens of thousands of soldiers at bay.
Secondly, all the way south, he encountered almost no opponents. That was because those opponents were not opponents. But this time, the Snow Queen Katarina was definitely a formidable opponent. Rhodes still remembered the Elengrad rebellion seven years ago.
, the scene where Katarina drove an ice chariot and killed countless enemies. An ice explosion was enough to drown half an army. At that time, he was still an unknown little northern lord. Times have changed, and seven years later, he
Standing outside the city of Kislev, he launched the most powerful challenge to the kingdom's royal power. However, when facing the most powerful ice mage in the world, Rhodes had no confidence at all.
The closer he got, the more he could feel the power. The bone-chilling cold seemed to be able to extinguish all the flames in the world. Although the bear god Esun gave him a cold-resistant physique, it was not enough. Standing next to the fire, Luo
De thought, quietly feeling the temperature of the flame. He stretched out his palm, trying to feel the heat emitted by the flame more closely. For a moment, he seemed to be pulled into the blazing fire, surrounded by flames.
, but I couldn't feel the slightest burning sensation. The next second I came to my senses, I realized that it was just an illusion. Just like the scene in my dream - I walked into the fire and finally merged with the fire.
As one body, the blazing flames wrapped themselves around and wrapped themselves... After waking up, the icy cold wind blew me awake.
…
In the Ice and Snow Winter Palace, Pavel stands in front of the mirror like a proud warrior. He has many things to be proud of - the troops loyal to him are on standby, and there are his people inside and outside the palace. He is about to become the man who changes history.
This is the first time in many years. For the first time, he is so close to the throne of power, almost within reach. Just one more day, one more day, he can change history and change the dynasty. The throne of the Tsar seems to
Waving to him, he seemed to be able to see himself overthrowing the Bloody Queen, and the people would call him the new tsar, the savior of Kislev, and the prince who killed his relatives for righteousness.
Pavel was immersed in his imagination. He touched his clothes. It was an extremely gorgeous piece of armor. The steel plate was as bright as gold and decorated with complex swirling decorations. The huge steel plate of the shoulder armor was engraved with a lion pattern.
It means that the owner of the armor will be as powerful and strong as a lion. The center of the breastplate is inlaid with a huge ruby, and the golden cloak hangs naturally from the shoulders, almost to the ankles. It is said that this is a battle armor.
, it is better to say that it is the ceremonial attire used by the general in his triumphal ceremony.
Pavel didn't care, whether it was worn in triumph or on the battlefield, as long as he put it on, Pavel felt full of power. It was not that the armor had magical power, but that his heart was in ecstasy. As long as he wore it again, he felt full of power.
One day, he can realize his self-worth. The prince who has been ignored for more than twenty years has finally reached the pinnacle of power.
But now, no one knew what he was thinking. When he asked the guards to wear armor, the reason was so justified - the war was imminent, and the prince could not watch the battle from behind. He had to go to the front line in person to encourage the defenders to fight the enemy. For this reason, the Queen
His assistant, the Frost Witch Marilyn, specially selected this armor for him from the royal arsenal.
If there is still worry, then it is the King of the North outside the city. Dennis's letter shows that she did not leave without saying goodbye on purpose, but was forced by the situation, because the Snow Queen is coming back and there is no time.
Pavel believed that Dennis was telling the truth, because he would have done the same thing himself. The only thing he was worried about was Rhodes. That Rhodes, who claims to be the son of the gods and the king of the north, really has no interest in the throne.
Isn't there any peek? Pavel doesn't believe it. He doesn't believe that there is such a holy person in this world. But, so what if he doesn't believe it? He really needs to cooperate with the Northern Alliance forces inside and outside to defeat the defense network set up by Catalina.
The city is still under the control of the Blood Queen, and those knights are very loyal. They all want to overthrow the Blood Queen, but in more than ten years, no civil strife has been able to overthrow the Ice Queen's rule. Pavel knows very well that he needs the Northern Army, but
, he couldn't say it. At least not first. He didn't want others to say behind his back that he relied on external forces to rise to power.
He needs self-esteem so much that he is willing to exchange it with his life. Countless times, when he saw the people calling and praising the queen, he also wanted to do that. Sitting on a carriage and being enthusiastically pursued by the people, he also wanted to get that
However, countless times, he was the inconspicuous prince walking silently among the crowd. It was time to change this fate, Pavel said to himself again...
