Slime Cultivation Game

"..." Carter frowned and looked around at the believers and soldiers: "Well... we only need to hold on for one day..."

"to be honest……"

"Three days..."

"If you're still hiding it now, then I really have no other options."

"Ah..." Viscount Carter sighed resignedly: "Five days, we need to hold on for five days."

"Don't be so depressed." Leo patted his shoulder: "If it's only five days, don't worry, we can hold on."

Hearing this, Miss Karen's eyes lit up: "Then what should we do?" "It's simple, the next time the Night Demon attacks the city..."

In another tent, a mercenary who looked like a swordsman said to his companion beside him: "Let's not defend the city, let's just leave this damn place."

"At that time, the troops will be concentrated on the outer city wall on the north side, and the guards on the inner city on the south side will be lax. We can just run away at that time!

Damn it, I'm not going to be a cannon fodder for these nobles! What else do you mean, if we defend the city, we will be given the status of nobles, ugh!"

"But Eddie..." Another mercenary frowned, "If we leave like this, what about Winterhold? If the Night Demons break into the city, the entire North will be finished."

"That has nothing to do with us. Even if the sky falls, there are still tall people to hold it up. Guarding the North is the job of those noble gentlemen! There are no nobles in this city. They are just treating us as bait! As cannon fodder!"

Eddie waved his hands sadly: "Why, you don't want to leave? Luke, do you want to die here? To attract hatred for the stinky nobles who betrayed us?"

"I..." Luke gritted his teeth and finally shook his head: "I want to live."

"Well, that's right--" Eddie wanted to say something else, but he heard a loud "boom" and the whole earth shook for a second.

"Damn it, the night demons are coming so fast!" He quickly grasped the sword, opened the tent and rushed out.

In addition to his companions, there were also countless miscellaneous soldiers who had the same reaction as him.

They all looked towards the northern wall closest to them, but found that there was no trace of the Night Demon under the sunlight.

"So what is this sound..."

"It's from the south side. It's coming from the south side!"

"Fireball, it's a fireball! Look at the sky!"

A noise rang out in the camp, and Eddie quickly raised his head, only to see huge fireballs like meteorites passing over his head and accurately hitting the south wall.

"boom!"

The explosion and shock wave raged in Winterhold, the earth trembled, and sand and rocks flew.

"Quick, go see what's going on in the south!"

"Damn it, I still want to run!"

"Don't get into trouble!" When Eddie arrived at the south wall, it was already crowded with soldiers.

But what was strange was that even with so many soldiers gathered together, there was not much noise on the south side of the city wall.

Instead, it was shrouded in a desperate solemnity.

There is no other reason——

The stone bridge connecting the south gate of Winterburg with the inland of the North, the stone bridge about one kilometer long and seven hundred meters wide, which had existed for thousands of years and had been repaired and reinforced by countless people, was broken.

Completely broken.

It was blown into a pile of rubble by the fireballs that streaked across the sky.

In other words, the only passage connecting Winterhold and the inland of the North was gone.

The turbulent water of the Winter River, which has not yet completely thawed, is raging under the cliff, and the waves that constantly beat against the rocks are singing a requiem.

Everyone knows that the river, which is hundreds of meters above Winterburg, cannot be used as a human road.

It will only become their grave.

These stragglers who were recruited to defend Winterhold were like angels with broken wings, with no possibility of leaving.

"It's broken...why, why is it broken?"

"I am dreaming, haha, yes, I must be dreaming."

"That's right. These Night Demons occupied Winterhold in order to further invade the North. What's the point of him blowing this place up..."

"That's right, that's right, hehe..."

Desperate whispers spread through the crowd.

The vultures that had been chased away by the soldiers were now circling around the sunset appropriately.

It seems like I can enjoy it soon.

"Haha, it's very simple. These Night Demons have air units. After they capture Winterhold, it will take at most half a natural week for all of them to cross the river."

In the desperate atmosphere, a man's voice exploded.

All the soldiers looked up and saw Leo on the city wall and Miss Karen standing beside him.

Leo was dressed in a white robe and had changed into the White Cavalry's armor. His pale face and black hair gave him a unique charm in the sunset.

Not to mention Miss Karen, her outstanding and otherworldly temperament, and the sense of mystery brought by her mask and glasses, instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Thinking back to what had just happened in the camp, Kallen smiled and looked at Leo: "I think it's time."

"Well..." Leo took a deep breath and said calmly: "Soldiers, the goal of those bastard Night Demons has never been just to capture Winterhold!"

"They want to slaughter us all."

"Leave no one behind!"

Chapter 56: Burn the Boats (Part 2) 2nd Update~

"what?"

"That's impossible... How can there be a war where no one is left alive?"

"Night Demon... Doesn't the Night Demon want the territory in the north?" Soldiers kept looking up, stunned and unable to believe.

Leo just listened quietly until their voices were about to be suppressed, then he suddenly raised his voice: "Who told you that the Night Demon only wants land?"

"Eight years ago, Duke Telsk hunted them for nearly a thousand miles, and killed all the night demons and succubi along the way. The males were killed on the spot, and the females were captured and used as prostitutes."

"No prisoners, no mercy."

"Now, these damned Night Demons are back. They are back with hatred for humans. Do you think they will let us go?"

"This huge fireball is the best evidence! The Night Demons will not leave us any way to retreat!"

"They want everyone in this winter castle to die here, without leaving a single one alive!"

"We can't run away. None of us can run away!"

Leo's voice was as loud as a sword piercing the soldiers' hearts and shattering all their fantasies.

Eddie fell to the ground with a thud, holding his head, and muttered to himself with wide eyes: "It's over, it's all over, everything is over!"

Luke was the same, he stood there dazed and his body was swaying.

"Click." "Click."...

The sounds of heartbeats merged into one, echoing among the crowd.

These soldiers thought of their families and loved ones and fell to their knees in despair.

Yes, Eddie was right, it was all over.

The whole of Winterhold fell into panic.

But at this moment, Leo shouted again: "Silence!"

"Finished? Who said we are finished? That was what Night Devil said, not us!"

"If you stick your head out, you'll get stabbed. If you hide your head, you'll also get stabbed. Are you going to be cowards even at the moment of death?"

"Look up, you cowards, look up, look at me, look at the lady next to me! The Sword of Order has not left! The nobles of the North have not left either!"

Everyone was on the verge of collapse, listening to Leo's words, and raised their heads woodenly.

Their eyes were fixed on Leo and Kallen, hoping to get a glimmer of hope from them.

These mercenaries who were recruited by the summons were just ordinary warriors in the Dawn Empire.

They have no clairvoyance, so even if they believe in the church, they cannot obtain the power of the gods.

They are foolish, ignorant and timid, but they are eager to change their fate.

So, when they heard Marquis Logan tell them that they could gain wealth and status by defending Winterhold, they came.

They never thought that all the gifts from fate had already been secretly marked with a price.

They regretted it, they despaired.

It was only because they discovered that the nobles they trusted did not regard them as citizens of the North at all.

They are just cannon fodder, just bait.

The nobles they trusted had long since disappeared into who knows where.

They have no idea who they are fighting for.

Miss Karen, who had been watching them, certainly felt the despair of these people.

She did not speak.

Just made an action.

She removed the mask from her face.

The afterglow of the setting sun was gradually swallowed up by the rising silver moon, but that immature yet beautiful face made the moon pale in comparison at this moment.

All sounds stopped abruptly.

No quarreling, no wailing, no roaring.

Everyone held their breath.

Kallen's figure almost overlapped with the God of Order in their minds, even though this shy girl didn't believe in that god at all.

But before the soldiers could pray to her devoutly, Kallen opened her mouth.

The voice was firm but with a hint of tenderness, almost drowning out the roar of the Winter River lapping against the shore.

"My name is Karen, Karen Telsk. I am Marquis Logan, the younger sister of Logan Telsk, and the daughter of the Lord of the North, Duke Telsk!"

"I am the second in line to the throne of Tersk, Karen Tersk!"

That young voice set off a tsunami among the crowd.

Those soldiers who had just been in despair suddenly stood up and grasped their weapons at the same time.

The daughter of the King in the North, the candidate for the next Lord of the North, was actually here, standing with them.

What does this mean?

This shows that the nobles of Telsk have never given up on them.

They are not abandoned people, they are the people of the North!

They were excited, they were breathing rapidly, and they had a backbone.

And Kallen did not disappoint their trust.

She took a deep breath, glanced at Leo, and then looked at her people: "I know you are very scared, very frightened, very uneasy, and very aggrieved."

"You came to this city without knowing what was going on, and you went to the battlefield without knowing what was going on, and there is no noble around you who is willing to live and die with you."

"To be honest, if I were you, I would probably be just as desperate."

“So, here I am.”

"Soldiers, I am here, and I will always be here!"

"The land in the north is the territory of the Telsk family, the territory of the Order Cult, and the home of all of you."

"As the daughter of Duke Telsk, I have vowed to protect the people of the North forever, to protect the land of the North, and to prevent those cruel and cold-blooded foreigners from ever breaking through the Marian Wall."

"But now, my brother, my father and I have all broken our promise."

"We failed to stop the scourge, allowing the Night Demon army to invade our homeland."
