The edge of the snowy jungle.

In a hidden place, four men of different appearances, ages, and temperaments were gathering together, discussing in a low voice.

"Tyre is on guard, ice castles have been built on the northeast and northwest sides, and the old dogs of Vauban have also taken the Knights of the Northland. Sent out, nailed to the opposite side of us, now what do we do? ”

The first to speak was a man who wore a leather shoulder in the Emerald Northern Winter, with most of his chest and thick arms exposed, his hair disheveled and his dirty face underneath his beard, and his facial features were not distinguishable at all, no better than the most depressed prayer on the street.

However, he had red, blood-like hands.

Jason the Bloody Hand, the bandit from Gosai, was frowning at his allies in front of him, waiting for their solution, after all, he didn't agree to come and raid during the winter months.

"yes? Now what? ”

A short man with his whole body in the shadows asked.

Obviously, the Black Skull also did not agree to come and raid at this time.

"Returning empty-handed is a blow to us - not only in terms of the morale of our subordinates, but also in terms of our prestige...... but I don't know how many people are staring at our position, especially since some young people have risen too fast recently, we have to be careful!"

With a mustache, a red and blue coat, a white wig, and the same white stockings, and bright cowhide boots, he always dressed himself as if he was a cunning fox of the old-school aristocracy, and he spoke at this time. There were no obvious words, but the two before had to frown and think.

"Kildelin, speak, what to do, it's you who brought it up!"

The bloody hand looked at the man who wrapped his whole body in armor, and the same was true of the black skeleton, and his gaze was even more direct - with unkindness and murderous intent, for this former thief and assassin, he preferred to do things in the shadows and secrets rather than like the moment. Fight with those nobles openly.

Merely. Their alliance with each other compelled them to do so.

As the foxy fox said, 'Some young people have risen too fast lately!' So much so that they, the 'old men', had to huddle together to survive.

"Kildeling must have been confident, don't worry!"

The cunning fox on the side had a gentle smile. He waved his hand. That attitude undoubtedly showed the appearance of a solid ally. But there is a hint of urgency in the meaning of the words.

"I don't have a better way!"

Hammer of Riot said, then glanced at the 'allies' in front of him. continued: "I didn't expect them to build the 'Ice Castle' in such a short period of time! ”

"So you mean we're retreating like this? Do you know how much we have to lose? ”

Bloody Hand said hurriedly, his slightly raised voice so that no one would doubt his anger at the moment.

The black skeleton blended more and more into the shadows, and a trace of coldness began to emerge around it, as if it was born a shadow creature.

The foxy fox touched his mustache, and then, with a smile, asked, "Kildelin, you see our losses, don't you?" ”

"Losses? Let's talk about it after the fight! ”

The Hammer of Riot said as if talking to himself.

"What do you mean?"

The three bandit 'allies' were stunned.

"I'm going to act as a decoy and attack one ice fort to attract the old dogs of Vauban and the local armed forces, and then, you go and attack the other, break it, sack the whole town of Tyre as originally planned, and then go back the way you came - the rest of our subordinates, only a little later than us, they are enough for me to help the old dogs attract the remaining strength!"

The Hammer of Riot spoke, word for word, its voice echoing behind the steel armor mask, making a 'buzzing' sound.

"Sure enough, it's Kildeling!"

The cunning fox praised like this.

Bloody Hand and Black Skull glanced at each other and didn't speak again.

After all, the most dangerous mission was fought by the Hammer of Riot, who went to reap the benefits, and what to complain about.

As for the division made at the time of the Quartet's alliance. Stolen rules?

There are so many greasy places that can be operated inside, so much that you can almost close your eyes to operate.

"Kildeling, which direction do you choose?"

With a gentle smile, the foxy fox asked seemingly casually.

"Northwest!"

Hammer of Riot said, then stood up and walked straight to where his subordinates were hiding.

After the three bandit leaders left behind glanced at each other, they also walked to the hiding place of their subordinates.

……

Northwest side of Tyre Territory, Ice Castle.

Huck and his group climbed the twenty-foot wall, a thick layer of sand under their feet, not as slippery as expected, but still a little more careful.

Therefore, Huck was on the ice wall, moving his steps close to the ground, stretching out his hand to support his body, Huck poked his head out and looked out of the ice castle.

It's so dark that it's hard to discern.

"Deputy Commander, we should send out scouts and patrol guards!"

Xi Lun on the side also didn't see anything, and couldn't help sighing.

"Have you forgotten the order of the regimental commander?"

Huck snorted.

"Of course not-'Stick to the Ice Castle, and the attack and defense of Yiqiē are mainly based on the Ice Castle!' However, this feeling of being blind and deaf is really uncomfortable! ”

Xi Lun shook his head again and again, and then said helplessly.

"It's better to be uncomfortable than to die! The patrol scouts of the Northland Knights have set up a stronghold nearby, and we just need to do our part, and the rest will ...... It's up to the Knights of the Northlands! ”

Huck said, but the last sentence, no matter how you look at it, is full of difficulty.

And the palm that unconsciously clenched into a fist is a more direct indication of what is going on in Huck's heart.

For a warrior. The need to rely on fortifications to face the enemy is a shame in itself.

The other members of the Knights of Fecharon, who were standing on the city wall, listened to the conversation between their captain and the deputy leader, and they were also unwilling.

Sou!

Syllable!

And at this moment, an arrow suddenly sounded, and then, a red firework appeared in the sky.

"Enemy attack! Get ready for battle! ”

Huck shouted at the same time as the red light lit up.

Suddenly, the Knights of the Knights of the Ice Castle and the militia of Zelgan began to move, and those who were good at bows and arrows came to the back of the city walls. Some stones and large ice skates that had been prepared in advance were also piled up there.

As for ballistas, catapults?

Vauban has these warplanes. However, there is no such thing in this ice castle.

The only thing that counts as a side is the crossbow in the hands of the militia - for these militiamen, who are untrained and mostly blacksmiths and miners. It is somewhat difficult to bend the bow and arrow. But if you aim with a crossbow alone. But it's not a problem, and the strength they have cultivated by striking iron and mining is enough to shoot another arrow. String the crossbow.

Of course, it's two people working together.

The official members of the Knights of Fecharon stood in the first line, while the recruits and Zelgaon's militia were mixed, mostly in the second and third lines.

As the captain, Siren, Ike, Chard, and Maher are at the forefront - although Ike is already in charge of pharmacy and logistics, the title of captain is still there, and Chad and Maher have become the new captains because of the extra recruits.

"It's all good for me, and then release the arrows when it's good!"

Siren roared in a low voice.

The people around were silent, none of them answered, heavy breathing, thumping heartbeats, nervousness was the state of the recruits and militiamen at the moment.

"No one answered? Could it be ...... Are you scared? ”

After glancing around, Xi Lun looked at the remaining three captains not far away, and the latter nodded slightly, and he couldn't help but ask in a long tone.

"No, no!"

Almost instinctively, a few recruits, militiamen, replied like this.

"Tsk, just a few of you are not afraid, the others who didn't answer are all bad seeds!"

Siren said as if mocking.

"You're the seed!"

A low shout sounded, and Raul, who was standing in the militia ranks, suddenly walked out, and then, looking at the familiar faces around him, asked in a loud voice: "Sue me, are you a bad seed?" ”

"It's not!"

Questioned again, the militiamen subconsciously shouted.

"None of the militia are of a bad breed, Knights, what about you?"

Siren looked at the way the militia captain looked at him, and suddenly, he asked again in understanding.

"Of course not! How can we be compared to the militia! ”

The young people who had entered the Order shouted unconvinced.

"Very well, since you are not convinced...... We can only watch by Bibi - the enemy will come in a moment! And we are soldiers, a soldier's duty is to kill the enemy, if you want to see if a soldier is qualified, then look at how many enemies he kills! That's what the regiment commander said! ”

Siren added a sentence at the end, indicating the source, and then, the slightly relaxed expression, suddenly froze-

"Take your weapons and show me, the enemy is ahead, our home is in the rear, and we are in the middle...... We are the only defense of our homeland - take down the enemy and protect our homeland! It's our duty as a man and a soldier, so when we face the enemy next, we can only ...... Kill! ”

Siren yelled loudly.

"Kill!"

The recruits, militiamen on the city walls shouted loudly.

The veterans, on the other hand, quietly gave their captain a thumbs up.

"It's grown!"

Our deputy regiment commander couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the recruits and militiamen who were no longer nervous under the blood in front of him.

Then, his gaze was attracted by the darkness that grew deeper and deeper in the darkness, and the black shadows that came out one after another, like a behemoth, began to appear in front of the ice castle.
