Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 511 Lovisa in the Snowstorm

Lovisa in the blizzard was like a solitary boat in the waves. The dark clouds almost pressed down on their towers, and large flakes of goose-feather-like snow quickly piled up on the city walls.

The strong wind made it extremely difficult for the soldiers to even breathe, but they still couldn't withdraw from the city wall.They must keep the city wall in an environment ready to be garrisoned against the wind and snow, and at the same time beware of the skeletons who attack the city wall while taking advantage of the chaos.

And the meeting hall in Lovisa was also in a state of turmoil at this time——

"Can anyone tell me why there is such a sudden snowstorm?"

The roar like a lion made the surrounding candles flicker, and the light in the magic lamp trembled.The generals lowered their heads, and in the midst of the oppression, they could only peek at the man who looked like an angry lion and was vigorously patting the map at the conference table, their king—Kelson Herman.

Although the question he asked sounds ridiculous-why is there a sudden snowstorm?Is this a question they can answer?Or is it that the undead have the ability to drive a blizzard enough to sweep half of northern Xinjiang?
Besides, why should I ask an astrologer?It's their job—

Of course, no one dared to open his mouth at this time and touch his bad luck.His Majesty the King is in an extremely bad mood at the moment, and this is definitely the most furious time they have ever seen His Majesty—although His Majesty's temper is not very good at all, and everyone present has been scolded more or less several times, but It's never been like this before.

But they also knew why His Majesty was so furious - just a few days ago, His Majesty ordered a large number of scouts to investigate the number of troops stationed in the villages they lost and transformed into undead strongholds.

If you count the time, now is actually the time when the scouts are infiltrating a large number of undead strongholds.

That was an act that was almost like going to death. They had already done a good job of this group of heroic scouts.

But now that there is such a blizzard, how much of the one that was estimated before will remain?

And this is precisely the most important task.His Majesty's idea is very beautiful. As long as the distribution of troops in the enemy's stronghold is clear, we can carry out targeted strikes against them. If it is accomplished, it will be a grand victory.

However, at this moment, in the absence of intelligence, the surprise attack may have to be transformed into a frontal battle. The long east-west front is obviously not a good thing for La Rochelle - because they rely on the Tower of the North Wind as a pillar If the defense line is propped up, and the front line is too long, the Tower of the North Wind will not be able to provide timely assistance.

Even leaving aside the plan for the follow-up attack, this blizzard is very unfavorable to them at the moment.

The linkage between Lovisa and Alderney is bound to be weakened by bad weather.If the heavy snow continues, it will seriously affect the supply lines from the Tower of the North Wind to the two cities.

The undead have been silent for nearly the entire October, and no general will think that they have lost their interest in attacking the city. Everyone's opinion is that they are recharging their energy, waiting for the backup troops from their base camp, and then using absolute troops to attack the city. The numbers crushed their Lovisas and Alderneys.

The harsh environment for humans after the snowstorm will bring certain advantages to the undead.If they attack now...

The generals were already worrying about the follow-up response, and they didn't even bother to listen to His Majesty's venting roar, thinking that voice was a kind of spur, hoping to come up with a better way.

But the roar suddenly stopped.

All the generals, who were not used to it for a while, raised their heads one after another, only to hear Kelsen Herman's deep voice squeezed out from between his teeth:

"Chief Guard of Lovisa City Wall, Jeff Cassell, what do you want to say?"

The name gave Commander Bishop Olier a shrewd look.He turned his head, but saw that in the back row of the middle-level generals, the former head of the northern city wall, whom he was not very familiar with, was recently promoted to the chief patrol of the city wall. The young people who had the qualifications to participate in this meeting stood tall Straight, with his head down, but his hands raised high——

How dare he take the initiative to signal when His Majesty is angry?Danya, is he crazy or am I?Do you look at skeletons every day without emotion and feel scared?
Bishop Olier groaned in his heart, but at this moment he had to grit his teeth and stand up, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, he is just a newly promoted chief patrolman, so he can know something..."

"Let him say, Bishop Olier, or that you'd rather talk nonsense and let me chop off your paste-stuffed head and throw it among the skeletons, and see if they'll eat yours? Brain in a skull of any use?"

A look from Kelson Herman caused Bishop Olier, who had stood up, to sit back down. Under the sympathetic eyes of his colleagues, he said helplessly in his heart: "Jeff Cassell, I am benevolent enough. May the stars shine on you, don't say I didn't help you..."

Jeff Cassell swallowed his saliva, he is not an idiot, he can understand the atmosphere in this conference room.When those eyes were fixed on him, he suddenly realized how sloppy his image was—not long ago, he was still clearing snow on the city wall, and at this time his hands were red and swollen from the cold, and he felt a burst of pain from inside. the itching.

"General Jeff Cassell, do you particularly like to have me call your name more times?"

He was startled, and finally realized that he had "left" His Majesty aside again - he had already done this kind of thing when he was on the city wall for the first time.He opened his mouth quickly, but bit his tongue nervously:
"Your Majesty, I think the cold current this time is indeed astonishing, but the continuous blizzard is not just because of the cold current..."

As he spoke, he gradually became smoother and faster:
"The report on the Battle of the Tower of the North Wind showed that the frost giants and the undead once invaded the area around the Tower of the North Wind and caused great trouble to the Tower of the North Wind. Controlling the wind and snow is one of their abilities One, I think this time, it is very likely to be a reenactment of the Battle of the Tower of the North Wind. The frost giant may once again be on the side of the undead."

He was so frightened that he sifted through the chaff all over his body, but the meeting room unexpectedly fell silent.The eyes staring at him moved away, and then there were whispers around.

And from Kelson Herman, the sharpest gaze was also retracted, and his voice sounded after a while:
"go on."

"However, due to the complete city defense of Lovisa, the frost giant's snowstorm field cannot cause real damage to us, so I think that the snowstorm they set off may be to make us more vigilant in front of our eyes. It is a kind of deception. means."

"Covering people's eyes and ears?" The word made Kelsen alert, "Yes, it's you, the last time you said that you noticed a decrease in the number of undead—has there been any changes recently?"

"A large number of heavy armored corps are still gathered outside the city, and there are not many changes..." Kassel also let go of his courage. He was talking, but he heard the door behind him being pushed open, and a soldier rushed in. When I came in, because I ran too fast, I slipped and fell to the ground, making a loud "bang".

But before he stood up, the voice sounded first:

"Master Chief Patrolman, we have discovered, we have discovered a group of dirty-bellied demolition ghosts!"

"Dirty belly blasters?" Cassel was taken aback. "Are they coming towards the city wall... No, they can't blow up the city wall of Lovisa..."

"They, they are moving, they are facing west..." The soldier finally stood up at this moment, and halfway through the call, his voice suddenly stopped-he hadn't noticed that there were so many people in this conference room before. People are... wait, this is the commander of the city defense army?This is the captain of the Xiaoqi Guards?And that... Isn't that His Majesty the King!
He almost fell back again, but Cassel had already grabbed him, saluted hastily into the room, then led him to the door, and pressed him against the wall forcefully: "Continue talking, what should we do? "

"Those things are really uncommon. We saw them heading towards the mountains and thought it was strange. Just, just..."

"Just what?"

"Let Captain Park lead someone to follow out quietly..."

"Are you crazy?" Cassel yelled, "Going out of the city at this time? Do you think you don't die fast enough? Or do you want your bones to appear among the skeletons that attack the city next time?"

"My lord, Captain Parker and the others are locals. They are very familiar with the wind and snow, and they are also familiar with the Maitland Mountains. With the cover of the wind and snow, it is not so easy for the undead to find them..." The soldiers were about to cry, "Let's talk , Aren't you thinking about those disappearing skeletons every day? Captain Parker decided to go out..."

"Crazy, really crazy..." Jeff Cassell covered his forehead and paced back and forth in the corridor. After a while, he raised his head and asked, "How long have they been there?"

"Yes, you set off when you went down the city wall, and you descended with a rope..."

"It's been an hour or two..." Jeff Cassel sighed, "Go back first, let the brothers on the city wall remember to take turns, and don't get frostbite."

"Yes, yes." The soldier quickly turned around and ran out of Jeff Cassel's sight.

Kassel stood in the corridor for a while, didn't dare to stay longer, and hurried back to the meeting room. When he turned back, he found that the meeting room had changed——

The senior generals were in groups of three or four, each surrounding the maps one by one, arguing loudly.As soon as Kassel entered the room, he was dragged by the commander-in-chief who came over to the table where His Majesty was, and at the same time he heard His Majesty's voice:
"General Cassel, I think our previous perspective was too narrow—could it be possible that the vanished undead have already sneaked into our interior?"

--------

"Where have we been?"

"Frost Iron Plain, my lord."

"Why is it called such a name..." Azike muttered, looking up not far away.

After integrating the Northern Wind Crusaders, the Siliki Army did not choose to go northward on the same route, but detoured further west for a certain distance before moving northward again.

Not far from them, undulating mountains have begun to appear. If they go further west, the terrain will be significantly elevated, which can be regarded as the boundary of the western plateau.

The reason why he did not choose to go north was very simple. Although the Northern Wind Crusaders had been integrated, their numbers still could not withstand the encounter.

With the Tower of the North Wind empty and the hinterland of the North Territory empty, the mobility of the North Wind Crusaders with them has declined, so it is natural to choose to avoid the war if they can avoid it.

On the map of La Rochelle, the northern border is wide on the outside and narrow on the inside, with the Maitland Mountains and Simatar Mountains on the north and south sides, and the western plateau and quiet mountains on the east and west sides.

This makes Northern Xinjiang look like an extremely huge basin, and I don't know if it was the hole made by the ice god Eskir when he fell from the bed while sleeping and his butt.

"In the early years when northern Xinjiang was included in the territory of La Rochelle, the Frost Iron Mountain in the west was once an important mining area. The iron ore produced seemed to be covered with a thin layer of frost, so it was called Frost Iron. There was even a very The famous knight order is called the Frost Iron Knights, but that happened 300 years ago." Thomas the half-lizard man said.

"Mining area?" Atzke is not interested in the Frost Iron Knights, "The frost iron in the mining area has been hollowed out?"

"It is said that those miners even hollowed out the bottom of the plain, and caused several accidents. Maybe the land under our feet is empty." Thomas said in a rough voice, "But let me say, let the undead live in our land again." If you stay on the ground for a while longer, those bones will be turned out, and the bottom of the plain will be half empty."

"What nonsense, where did so many people die in northern Xinjiang?" Hagen Trogne on the side said.

"What do you think, before La Rochelle came, this was also a barbaric place where tribal melees fought, and then the blizzard froze most of the people to death, and the barbarians fled to the west, so La Rochelle took over A large open space..."

"You are a half-lizard, how do you know so many things?"

"I am a mage, I am a mage!"

"Mage? I haven't seen you make a fireball before." Hagen said loudly, "If you can make a fireball now and smash the skeleton in front of me, I'll eat all the bones of that skeleton on the spot!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him suddenly froze——

Wait, here, why are there skeletons?
It was a very "thin" skeleton, wobbly, holding an invisible iron in his hand, vaguely in the shape of a mining pick...

"Be alert!" Rhodes had already erected his shield—to some extent, skeletons are similar to cockroaches. If there is one, there will be a second and a third, and there will never be only one appearing alone.

Then they watched the skeleton staggering, and before it got close to the team a few steps, it scattered into one piece, and its bones were broken.

Azike frowned, and he stepped forward, pinching the dry bone, thoughtful.

He seemed to understand something.

　Under the transition, under the transition, Kawenka is amazing.
