"He is right, Lord Marius. In winter, storms rage in the Claw Sea, and in spring the sea climate is changeable and huge waves are frequent. Only in summer can we barely send troops. Only in the short window period in summer can the empire's
Only then can the army land on the Norsca Peninsula. In addition, your knowledge of the northern barbarians may not be enough. That continent is full of dangers and dangers. The further inland, the colder and unbearable the climate becomes. Even in midsummer.
During the season, there is still a blanket of snow there. The Imperial Southern Army lives in warm areas all year round, and when they go to the north, they will definitely not be able to endure such extreme climate..."
In the high mood of everyone, Rhodes had to stand up and give another warning to these imperial guys. But as soon as he finished speaking, Rhodes felt the unfriendly eyes from all directions. The electors of the three northern provinces and their knights
They looked at each other with disdain, without any sign of looking down upon him, while the generals and knights of the southern provinces looked contemptuous.
For them, this is a good opportunity to make achievements. For some poor low-level knights, it is even a good opportunity to make a fortune.
"You don't understand what the storm in the north means. It's a real storm."
Rhodes continued to warn.
"He is right, I have experienced it. And I am sure that everyone here has not had that experience."
The taciturn Wood Elf Aliria couldn't help but speak up. Although she was just a Wood Elf Wanderer, Aliria once saved the emperor's life, so no one could underestimate her.
"So, have you ever been in?"
Marius asked contemptuously.
"Yes, I have been to the interior of Norska." As soon as Rhode finished speaking, you could faintly hear the rustling jeers in the banquet hall.
"So, tell us, what did you see? The High Lord of Kislev?"
"I saw countless barbarian warriors, woolly rhinos several times larger than imperial bulls, giant mammoth war elephants, and frost dragons that you have never seen before."
Ha ha ha ha……
Sporadic laughter rang out from the venue. Aliria had quietly pulled out the dagger, but was pushed back by Rhodes again.
"How to prove it?"
Marius raised his brows and stared at the northern lord in front of him with a wicked smile. Their clothes were so different. A gorgeous mink coat and fur shirt were worn on Marius Leitdorf, and around his neck
There was also an agate gold necklace and a ruby ring on his finger. Rhodes had no decorations on his body, only a simple leather vest, and the manticore cloak that symbolized bravery and experience was taken off before entering the banquet venue.
Come down and hang it in the cloakroom.
The proud Marius waited to see the Yankee make a fool of himself. The emperor wanted to take action but did not know how to rescue him. The knights from the southern provinces sat in their seats and stared at the man on the field as if they were watching a clown show.
Lord of Kislev.
Until Rhodes took off the ancient book from his belt.
"You want proof?"
Rhodes asked lightly.
He replied without saying a word. The southern lords headed by Marius laughed heartily, waiting for this Kislev man to make a fool of himself.
I saw Rhodes sitting there, spreading out the "Book of Beasts", and humming the incantation on it. When he closed his eyes, the souls of the beasts gathered together. The emperor's face showed a surprised look, and several emperor electors also
They began to slowly feel that something was wrong, but the knights under them were still confident and looked proud.
Gradually, the roars of wolf dogs were heard inside and outside the palace. The breeders grabbed the dog ropes in fear, but they could not calm their dogs anyway. Even the uneasy roars of the beasts were heard from the underground cages.
There was a sound. Birds were chirping in the sky. The strange scene made everyone present instantly become quiet. They all listened attentively to what was going on outside. The servants were even more frightened and motionless, forgetting to serve the food and pour the wine.
After a while, Rhodes put away the book and tied the thick ancient book with gold edges around his waist again. At this time, the terrible roars of the beasts gradually stopped.
"The proof you want."
After silence, Rhodes spoke. Although his voice was low, every word was extremely clear because there was no longer any noisy laughter on the field.
"I got this book when I went deep into the heart of Norsca. I can tell you clearly that the real storm is far more terrifying than this. Direwolves will smell the scent of flesh and blood from kilometers away. At the foot of the snow-capped mountains,
Mammoth war elephants are larger than a house. The wind and snow in the North can last for weeks. During this period, not a single blade of grass grows, not even the remains of animals can be found, and it is impossible to make a fire. These difficulties are far beyond
More terrifying than the barbarian army."
Rhodes warned. It can be seen that many imperial knights have tempered their sharp edges. They don't need to die for a few dollars. However, there are still many people who are confident, proud, and domineering. For example, the one led by Ivey in front of me.
Chosen emperor.
Marius twisted his stiff neck and said, "The imperial army has been fighting the Norscan barbarians for centuries. The imperial soldiers know about those barbarians as much as you do, Lord Rhodes." There was a look in the other person's eyes.
Full of confidence, proud self-confidence.
Rhodes could only sigh secretly. It's time to return home... The voice in his heart sounded.
"Don't forget, for centuries, the only ones who have frequently fought against the Norscans are the Nordland navy and our border guards."
Maximian retorted. What he said was indeed correct. Every time the Norscan barbarians invaded, the armies of the three northern provinces intercepted them, while the armies of the southern provinces rarely participated in the war. Some of them even had direwolves.
I don't know what it looks like.
"So, are you willing to participate in the Northern Expedition?"
Marius turned his attention to Maximian. After all, they were considered colleagues. They were all among the electors of the empire. What was interesting was that the electors actually ignored the emperor when they discussed it... Of course, they used their own hands.
The army indeed has nothing to do with the emperor...
Rhodes just looked at Louis Bird in the stands and truly felt sorry for his status. At the same time, he also lamented the difficulties that Karl would face when he ascended the throne in the future. How to gather power and establish authority seems to be more difficult than climbing to the sky.
But now Karl... Rhodes had better forget it after thinking about it. He didn't even show up for such an important occasion, and he was probably having a private meeting with some noble lady in the garden... Rhodes mocked that if his father hadn't been the emperor,
, I’m afraid this little brat will have to break a few legs even if it’s not enough.
