At ten o'clock in the morning, the white snow reflected the glimmer of the stars, and the cold air blew through the snowfield, trying to take away the little heat from the cavalry.

Lux sat in front of Chai Anping, hugged by him, trying to endure the bumpy horseback. The military situation was urgent, and the entire army was moving at full speed, not slowing down because of her presence.

Chai Anping could only try to help her alleviate some of the pain. It was the first time that even a strong man could not bear such a vigorous horseback riding. It was really hard for Lacus to be able to hold on until now.

He used alchemical magic to flow throughout Lux's body, which not only helped relieve the pain, but also maintained her body temperature, which had dropped due to lack of exercise.

A few hours later, at the edge of the distant snowfield, the huge and temperatureless sun slowly rose from the horizon. At this time, Chai Anping finally saw the continuous military tents hidden in the shadow of the mountains.

"Almost there."

He hugged Lux ​​closer and whispered in her ear.

"Hmm...huh?"

Lux raised her eyes drowsily, she had already fallen asleep powerfully after adapting to the frequency of bumps.

"..."

Chai Anping helped her wipe away the frozen drool from the corner of her mouth in disgust: "Look in front."

"oh……"

As the team was marching, several rangers joined in, and soon someone handed over the information and quickly left the team, running towards the camp alone.

Chai Anping knew that it was time to think carefully about how to deal with his brother-in-law's questioning——

Why would you bring Lux to such a dangerous place?

Depending on the answer he replies, he may have to be ready to dodge the big sword at all times.

After looking at the camp, Lux leaned on her chest in a daze, and heard the sound of gentle breathing. I really don't know how she managed to sleep so soundly amidst the sound of hundreds of horse hooves.

A few miles away from the camp, another group of cavalry rushed out of the simple fortifications. Chai Anping felt that he might have underestimated the importance Galen attached to his biological sister.

——The young and promising heir to the Crown Guard family took the initiative before he could even come up with an idea.

The unique armor he wore and the huge pauldrons on his shoulders were very conspicuous. The cavalry guarding him looked more powerful than the cavalry in the third part. Chai Anping guessed that they might be Galen's relatives.

Wei Ying, I heard that they are all people who can compete with the dragon and bird cavalry.

His cheap father was one of them until he died fighting for Galen.

Suddenly, Chai Anping realized that he might suddenly have many "uncle" characters who were not related by blood.

Judging from the characteristics of Demacian soldiers, this is definitely not a good thing...

He had also visited Galen's headquarters when he was on a mission in the Evendale Mountains, but things were different now. Not many people knew him at that time.

"Hush!!"

The two armies stopped facing each other, with the majestic Galen leading the way.

Chai Anping had no choice but to ride his horse forward, and he even shook Lux awake in the process.

"Brother!"

Lux shouted.

Galen looked at the two of them carefully for a while with tiger-like solemn eyes, but did not respond.

"Go back to camp!"

He pulled the reins and guarded his sister and future brother-in-law back to the temporary camp.

"Is your brother angry?"

Chai Anping asked quietly as he followed.

"no."

Lux hung on his neck like a kitten, with a cute and innocent expression: "My brother has such a serious expression when he is in charge of the army, and he will change back to his normal look after returning to the commander's tent."

"Are you sure he's really not angry?"

Chai Anping thought of Galen's sight just now and felt a chill in his heart: "Why do I feel that he is very dissatisfied with your appearance?"

"Ah...I don't know about that."

Lux chuckled: "My brother won't beat me anyway."

"..."

Chai Anping twitched the corner of his mouth, of course I won't beat you!

"I am also the commander of the Steel Wings Legion after all. In terms of title alone, I am half as junior as your brother. He should not be able to take action."

After Chai Anping comforted himself, he then began to ask in a low voice whether Lux was feeling well? Did she need help rubbing her buttocks?

Their voices were kept very low, and he was not worried about being heard amidst the noise of horse hooves.

The Dauntless Vanguard Battalion is quite experienced in stationing in the north. They only went north to help fight against the Freljord tribe going south in September. At this time, the camp is in good order, and the tents are neat and orderly. It is very pleasing to the eye.

Because it is a snowfield, there is no such strong and suffocating smell of sweat.

The two were led directly into Galen's handsome tent. The young vanguard waved away all the guards, and then took a deep breath.

"...Sit down."

"Brother~"

Lux shouted sweetly: "Are you angry with me?"

Chai Anping glanced at her in surprise. Then he was immediately moved by the fact that this woman was not favored in vain. This wave of deflection of firepower was okay!

Hearing Lux's tone, Galen couldn't help but feel a headache.

He poured two cups of hot tea himself, sat down across from the two of them, and sighed: "Tell me, Earl Shelley, tell me in detail about the ice dragon... and why Lux followed you here.

Plant a place.”

"Ahaha...this is all an accident!"

Chai Anping looked at Galen sincerely, holding the porcelain cup on the table with both hands, looking very honest.

He took out the photo album from his backpack and pulled out the photo of the giant dragon entering.

"This is a picture taken with a piece of equipment from Piltover. Look here -"

"We happened to find traces of a giant dragon during our trip, and we came up with the idea of ​​pursuing it... Unexpectedly, we followed the clues and ended up near here."

Lux nodded her head from time to time.

"This giant dragon most likely hates Demacia. It is not surprising that it would do this. On the contrary, we should be wary of what conspiracy this evil dragon is preparing."

The intelligence of the dragon species is definitely no less than that of humans. Both Shyvana and her biological mother have amazing intelligence, but most of the dragons also have cruel personalities that are absolutely different from humans.

This was something Chai Anping had been worried about, but Galen opposite him frowned and shook his head.

"If it wants to use the northern tribes to break through the defense line... now is not a good time."

Galen revealed a secret that only he and Walsh knew: "The two major tribes in the north are fighting fiercely. This year they unexpectedly gave up going south and turned to target their opponents.

According to the last intelligence sent back by the scouts, both tribes have suffered heavy losses and should be unable to plunder the border this year."

"oh?!"

Chai Anping was extremely surprised by the news revealed by Galen - this is unscientific!

The Freljords are three pillars. Although they all have the idea of ​​​​annexing each other, it is actually very difficult to break out a large-scale war. After all, the young war mothers of the two tribes are not fools. Lissandra's real goal

It's not about that either.

"Why would they choose such a thankless approach?" he wondered.

"this……"

Galen frowned, and he was actually very puzzled: "We have accepted some refugees from the north. They said it was because the Avarosa tribe suddenly had more people who could grow food on the ice.

God-gifted person...so there is no need to worry about food for the winter. The Winter Claw launched the war to rob those mages."

Chai Anping:……

Lux:......

"But this rumor is too ridiculous. How could the two tribes fight over such a trivial matter? There must be reasons that the lower-level tribes don't know!" Galen said firmly.

Chai Anping glanced at Lux quietly, and the girl looked over with her wide eyes.

Big eyes and small eyes.

Chai Anping looked away guiltily and smiled sarcastically: "In that case, wouldn't there be no pressure at all in the north?"

"That's not necessarily true. This year, there are still quite a few small tribes who cannot withstand the severe cold and have to go south to seek life."

Galen took out a confidential map and explained to Chai Anping: "There are currently about 50,000 troops stationed in the Cold Wind City at the core of the defense line. Counting the surrounding forces, the total strength is about 70,000. With the strength of the castle

The protection and defense line are enough to keep hundreds of thousands of Freljord warriors from the border.

The Fearless Vanguard Battalion is a sharp knife wandering outside the defense line, ready to respond from darkness to light at any time.

According to the investigation, there are no less than 100,000 barbarians heading south this time, and the defense line will be under tremendous pressure. However, if the dragon does not appear, the military arrangements are enough to sweep these weak tribes."

The number of one hundred thousand includes warriors as well as the old, weak, sick and disabled. The people of Freljord are fierce and fierce. Even an old woman in her seventies or eighty can hold a sword to resist the enemy. Some young people in Demacia may not be able to withstand a blow from others.
