Overlord the sky

Chapter 290

The princess's mobilization of the people in the four cities is progressing slowly.After all, the common people do not have such strict discipline as the army, nor do they have such a strong desire to protect the country.

For the common people, a stable life without war is the kind of life they most desire.

Ever since Winterfell was conquered by Emperor Grimm, there has been no war for thousands of years. Most of the people in Winterfell have gotten used to this kind of peaceful life.Ever since the Zheng family was ordered by the Snake Clan to have their entire clan slaughtered, Winterfell has already started to move towards war.It's just a matter of when.

If Winterfell was facing a real war, not to mention the people in the city, even the commanding battalion formed by the Huben Regiment and the Snow Wolf Battalion would feel oppressed like never before.

Although the Huben Regiment and the Snow Wolf Battalion have been training constantly and have also engaged in many small-scale battles, those are informal battles with the stragglers in the counties under their jurisdiction. It is not so much a war as a matter of strength. The massacre of relative disparity is more precise.

What the commander of the battalion now has to face is the imperial capital's army, which is ten times stronger and stronger than them.In terms of wind and frost alone, the elite of the imperial capital she led could kill every single one of the commander's battalion.

This comparison of strength weighed heavily on the hearts of all the soldiers who commanded the camp.Although their patriotism is obtained, once they are faced with a real critical moment of life and death, it is not so simple to sacrifice their lives for righteousness.

Duan Feng has always been by the princess's side.As the Grand Duke of the Duan family in Winterfell, he has accumulated a lot of popularity and prestige in Winterfell.Although the princess has the foundation of popularity laid by the first battle of the Meteorite Corps, compared to the decades of management of the Grand Duke, the foundation is still shallower.

In other words, although there are many people who can listen to the princess's words, there are very few people who are truly loyal to her.

These are human nature.Although the princess is helpless, she has to face this reality.It is impossible for her to ask all the subjects of Winterfell to have the same aspirations as hers, and to sacrifice their lives for Winterfell or Zheng Qian at any time.

After another mobilization, the princess was obviously tired.

She is a person who refuses to admit defeat. Although her legs can no longer be lifted, she still holds on and asks Duan Feng: "My lord, when will the next mobilization session start?"

Duan Feng looked at the stubborn princess. From the analysis of the mobilization meeting in the past few days, the princess's appeal was surprisingly strong.It was far stronger than Duan Feng expected.

Although Duan Feng doesn't like to lead troops, he has already studied the art of war and knows that fighting is actually a contest of people's hearts.

With a weak army against the elite army of the imperial capital, the cohesion of people's hearts is particularly important.And the princess has behaved like a thread these days, stringing together the scattered hearts.

"Princess, you have been shuttling between the four cities in the past few days, and the mobilization work you have done is basically the same. There is no need for a large mobilization meeting. In the future, it will depend on how to consolidate the results you have achieved in the past few days. People's hearts are very easy to change. If you can't consolidate them, your hard work these days will be in vain." Duan Feng said, "Besides, time is running out. Judging from the information, Fengshuang's army has already marched from Pinghu. It's only a matter of time to drive to Winterfell. In the past few days, the gates of the four cities have been closed, and all the soldiers are ready to go to the battlefield at any time."

"Is there any news about Zheng Qian?" the princess asked.

Zheng Qian's disappearance has lasted for too long, and there is no news at all.If the princess still insisted that nothing happened to Zheng Qian at this time, she herself would not believe it.

Duan Feng shook his head, "No, my intelligence team and Hu Liang's intelligence team have not relaxed their search for the envoy, but there is still no news. But the safety of Winterfell depends on him, really. I hope he can bring us another surprise." Duan Feng was a little sad.

If there was no Zheng Qian for this battle, the outcome would have already been doomed.This point is not only his understanding, but also the collective consensus of the Duan clan, which has been conveyed to Duan Feng by the Duan clan.

What is even more exasperating is that the regent suddenly submitted an application to Duan's senior management at this time, probably because of some activities, he has been transferred back to the headquarters.All the burdens of the Duan family's royal family in Winterfell fell on Duan Feng's shoulders.

Facing the current situation, Duan Feng was helpless and helpless.With the absolute strength of Fengshuang, he may be able to achieve some tactical victories with his courage, and even some victories in certain battles may not be ruled out, but this will not change the situation of the battle.

In Duan Feng's understanding, it was a matter of time before Winterfell fell.And he just tried his best to delay this time, at least, to let him have the face to meet the ancestors of the Duan family.

Duan Feng came to this battle with the determination to live and die with Winterfell.

"Procrastination...hehe, I still hope to wait until the divine envoy comes to save me...even I have developed such a habit of thinking." Duan Feng was a little helpless with his own thoughts. At this time, all his hopes were on Zheng Qian's body. Although he has the determination to live and die with Winterfell, he still very much hopes that Winterfell can be preserved and that he can survive.

Although he also knows that this hope is very slim.

"This bloody rascal, if he comes back, let's see how I deal with him!" the princess roared in a low voice.

Her thoughts are much more optimistic than Duan Feng's. Zheng Qian will not die, which is something that you don't have to think about. The basic assumption is that Zheng Qian appeared sooner or later.What the princess was thinking about was how to run away violently, how to slap Zheng Qian across the face; the scene of Winterfell being destroyed and the whole city slaughtered was impossible for the princess.

"Princess, do you believe that the envoy will definitely come back?" Duan Feng didn't know where the princess' confidence came from.

"That's right. Of course he will come back. And every time he comes back, he's always in trouble. If he causes trouble for me again this time, I won't let him go. Otherwise, I really think I'm so talkative." The princess said.

"Princess, didn't you ever imagine that something unexpected would happen to the envoy?" Duan Feng was even more surprised that the princess believed it for no reason.

"There will definitely be temporary difficulties. But unfortunately...his cockroach life, if he goes to hell, the supervisor of hell will find him troublesome and will not accept him." The princess said.

Zheng Qian is indeed a master who is troubled anytime and anywhere. If he has no troubles and can live a peaceful life, then the princess will definitely burn incense and worship God every day.

In this case, the princess believed that apart from miracles, there could be no second explanation.

Duan Feng smiled.

It's nice to be young.He remembered that he had such obsessions before, but as time went by, he didn't know where to throw these obsessions.But he himself has become the core of the Snow Wolf Battalion.

He has become a kind of spiritual support that the Snow Wolf Camp will not collapse as long as he is there.

Duan Feng was emotional for a moment, and his heart was full of emotions.The princess also sank into all kinds of ideas about how she should punish Zheng Qian when he came back.For a moment, there was a brief silence where the two were.

In such silence, the ground behind Duan Feng was filled with light, which was in the shape of a circle, and a white figure rose from the middle of the circle.

The whole body of the visitor is white, and there is no other different color.

This iconic costume is exactly the unique costume of the intelligence unit under Duan Feng's command.

After the white figure rose completely from the ground, it appeared to float in front of Duan Feng and knelt down, "My lord, the army of the imperial capital is only five hundred miles away from Winterfell. In front of the army of the imperial capital, about There are two to three million refugees. The front line of the refugees is only fifty miles away from Winterfell."

Duan Feng raised his eyes, his face was heavy.

"After such a long time of preparation, it's time for verification."

The person wrapped in white, after reporting, a layer of white light rose from the ground where he knelt down, and his figure sank into the ground from the white light.

The princess had long known that Duan Feng had an intelligence force under him, so she didn't show any surprise at the sudden appearance of the man in white.But what the man in white came to report made the princess nervous.

Although she likes to wield knives and guns, this is the absolute first time to kill people on the battlefield.Every person who kills for the first time has a psychological barrier that needs to be overcome.As soon as the princess heard that the war that she could hear almost every day was in front of her eyes, the barrier in her heart was ready to move.

"Princess, do you want to hide in the palace first?" Duan Feng asked.

This is a real war, and it is absolutely different from the usual training routine.After all, the princess is a princess, so no matter how you say it, you can't let the princess suffer any harm.

The princess belongs to Zheng Qian. Before Zheng Qian came back, he didn't dare to hurt the princess in any way.

"I won't go back. It's enough to have my father there. I want to go to the battlefield with you." Although the princess was a little inexplicably afraid of war in her heart, she also had an irresistible impulse that made her blood surge.

Duan Feng looked at the flustered and excited expression on the princess's face in surprise. This expression was so strange that Duan Feng couldn't guess what the princess was thinking at this time.

"Princess..." Duan Feng hesitated for a moment.

"Grand Duke, don't persuade me anymore. I have already made up my mind," said the princess.

Duan Feng didn't seem to be able to stop the princess' determination, and he didn't stop too much.I just made up my mind not to let the princess take risks.The princess's enthusiasm for the war was somewhat beyond Duan Feng's imagination.

"Then, let's go. Let's go to Dongcheng." Duan Feng said.

The princess nodded heavily.

The two quickly rushed towards Dongcheng.

After rushing all the way, when the two of them arrived at the tower of Dongcheng, Huniu and the three daughters of Jixiang Tea House were already one step ahead of them, watching the enemy.At the forefront of the tower are the two former coaches who commanded the camp.

Hu Wei and Duan Hun held on to the wall of the tower, their faces were heavy and their eyes were far-reaching.

"Duan Shuai, the refugees are coming, what should we do?" Huwei had no way to deal with what Fengshuang wanted to do.

It is possible for the army to kill the enemy, but Huwei cannot deal with such a ruthless hand when killing refugees.How can millions of refugees be killed?Even if he gave the order to kill, the morale of the army leading the battalion would definitely be weakened by his first order.

"I don't know, this problem is too big." Duan Hun's face was troubled, after he heard the footsteps of Duan Feng and the princess, he looked back and saw Duan Feng coming, and immediately showed joy Zhi'se', "Grand Duke, what should we do now?"

Duan Feng stood in front of the wall of the tower, looking at the waves of refugees coming from far away from the east city.

A refugee 'wave' of that magnitude is terribly frightening.

Although Duan Feng had a lot of experience with such a large-scale crowd, this was the first time he had seen it in his life.

Outside the east city of Winterfell, the terrain is uneven, and ravines and mountains are common, but within Duan Feng's sight, these ravines and mountains have no effect on blocking the 'tide' of refugees at all.

As far as the eye can see, the refugee tide is like a shadow cast by a large cloud, swallowing the area outside the east city of Winterfell.

As the 'tide' of people approached, Duan Feng could already hear the cries of the people's 'tide', converging into a huge torrent, shaking his eardrums.

"Grand Duke, what should we do? Can't we open the city gate?" Duan Hun asked anxiously.

Duan Hun also saw such a wave of refugees for the first time in his life, and his complexion changed slightly.

"Let's take a look first, and you all know that behind the refugees are the elite troops of the imperial capital." Duan Feng's voice was a bit bitter.

In this situation, what good method can he have?

Whether or not to open the city gate is a difficult choice.
