Chapter 566: The Predicament of Eternal Winter City

The Grand Knight of Montgomery wasn't very clear about what was happening in Everfree, and in fact there were even more troublesome things to deal with for him now.

True, troublesome, but not important.

As mentioned before, this side of the Chaos Coast has gathered armies from various forces. The Templar Order has the largest number of people, but there are also local legions -- the Chaos Coast is not a borderland, and the country here naturally has to send troops. In addition to this, there are also a number of troops who have responded to the call of the Templar Order. In terms of numbers, the entire Eternal Winter City now has nearly half a million troops, which is not a small number.

But as the Templar's top leader on the front, Montgomery was not happy at all.

Although these legions are nominally under the command of the Templar Order, in reality things are not so simple, and it is quite difficult to move large armies in any place. Not to mention that these legions come from different places, different identities, and even different habits. Moreover, the soldiers are all strong-blooded, and it is common for them to fight when they disagree. It is not uncommon for people to cause trouble, so during this period of time, Montgomery, in addition to adjusting the defensive line, is to deal with the between the various legions. This made Montgomery quite depressed, and not only that, but the logistics of half a million people were also a big problem. The Lord of Eternal Winter has complained to Montgomery more than once for this. It's no wonder that, as a commercial city, Neverwinter itself isn't huge. Naturally, they couldn't afford to raise so many troops, and these soldiers were fighting and making trouble in the city all day long, making a lot of complaints, even if everyone knew that they were here to help defend Eternal Winter. But the problem is that time and time again, there is chaos. It's not for everyone.

For this kind of thing, Montgomery is not the first time it has encountered. At the moment, he can't help it, because this is the inferior nature of human beings, and he can't change it. Montgomery knew that as long as the army of undead creatures pressed the realm and everyone fought to the death a few times, then no matter how big the internal contradictions were, they could only let go of the unanimous external situation.

But the problem is that Montgomery doesn't dare to gamble right now.

Like Angus, Montgomery experienced the rout of the Frozen Fang. However, as a grand knight, he is naturally better than Angus, an ordinary paladin. Although the undead captured the Frozen Fangs, it was not a small blow to him. But Montgomery didn't despair like Angus. In his view, evil will not prevail over good, and justice will surely triumph. And as the Grand Knight Chief, Montgomery also knows very well that the more rampant these undead creatures are now, the easier it is to attract the attention of the Sky Divine Kingdom, just like the previous two heaven and earth wars, once they go too far, the Sky Divine Kingdom will send someone to take action. So he believed that in the end, these undead creatures would still be defeated.

But that's not a reason for Montgomery to sit idly by. It's like nuclear weapons, everyone knows that nuclear weapons can destroy a city and a country, but they don't stop defending countries just because they have nuclear weapons, just waiting for nuclear weapons to take over the world. Not to mention being a faithful follower of the teachings of the Nine Saints. Nor would Montgomery let innocent civilians die at the hands of the butcher's knives of the undead.

But what worries Montgomery is the environment of the Chaos Coast, where the coastline is full of flat sand beaches, and it can be said that the undead can land from anywhere. Although these 500,000 people gathered in Eternal Winter should be able to resist the first wave of attacks by the undead legions. But the premise is that the opponent only attacks Eternal Winter City. However, of course, this is not possible. Like Angus, Montgomery knew that it was important for the undead army. What natural insurance, what traffic arteries. There is no point in any obstacles, as long as they want to go, they can go anywhere. This means that they can go ashore from somewhere else instead of attacking Neverwinter, and then march into the hinterland. Maybe before they and the others waited for any news, the other party had already cut off their retreat.

But Montgomery couldn't tell anyone else, but luckily or unfortunately, the paladins who had managed to escape from the Frozen Fang with him were true to their faith and would rather commit suicide than tell the truth to outsiders. Otherwise, if you know that these undead creatures are not afraid of natural dangers at all and can run anywhere, then I am afraid that they will collapse without a fight.

Therefore, Montgomery's approach was to use the four ports led by Neverwinter as four points, and then send patrols back and forth to form a defensive line. In this way, no matter whether the undead have landed in Neverwinter City or not, he can receive the news and respond as soon as possible.

However, not long ago, Montgomery received news from the Supreme Council that the lord of Passus was also coming to assist in the defense. As soon as this news came out, many people blew up, what did Jenn do, almost everyone on the Klein Continent now knows about it, the situation in Eternal Winter City is complicated enough, if this demon king of the mixed world comes to get involved, then it will be a big trouble!

For a while, many people also complained that the Supreme Council was full, why did he provoke that guy if he had nothing to do, he wanted to come, would there be a good life on this Chaos Coast?

But unlike those helpless and depressed subordinates, Montgomery was very much looking forward to Jenn's arrival. He carefully studied everything Jenn had done, and found that on the surface this man seemed to be reckless and bold, but on the inside, he did things well. Everything he did was astonishing, but when you thought about it, you couldn't get the slightest hint of it. This shows that this lord is a bold and careful man. Montgomery had even already thought that after the other party came to Eternal Winter City, if there was any trouble, as long as it didn't particularly affect the overall situation, then he would turn a blind eye. Maybe with the ferocity of that lord, he will be able to restrain these annoying guys.

Taking a step back, even if it can't be controlled, as long as this lord arouses the anger of others, everyone will not have so much trouble now. At that time, it will naturally be more convenient to control these armies on your own.

It's just that what Montgomery didn't expect was that the Supreme Council finally designated the lord to go to the Endless Harbor!

Montgomery was also depressed when he first got the news, and he understood the Supreme Council's thoughts. But Montgomery still couldn't just give up. So he also made a subtle protest to the Supreme Council, thinking that with Jenn's power. Coming to Neverwinter is the best choice.

But.........

"The Old Stubborn ......... of the Church"

With a headache, he put the reply in his hand to the side, and Montgomery reached out to press his forehead. He shook his head helplessly. No matter what he said, and even came up with strong evidence to prove his opinion, the Supreme Council was still unwilling to let go, and it seemed that the group of old stubborn people had already made up their minds for the "good situation" of "stability and unity" on the front line, and would definitely not let Jenn interfere in it.

"Knock knock."

Just when Montgomery was having a headache, there was a knock on the door, and a paladin pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing his appearance, Montgomery frowned. This paladin was his deputy, and every time he came, he didn't bring any good news to himself. And today, this guy's expression is also like a dead father, and it looks like he must have caused some trouble again.

"What's wrong? What's going on out there? Who quarreled with whom? Or is there a fight? Or was it a human death? ”

Looking at the expressions of his subordinates, Montgomery sighed helplessly, and then asked. It's this rhythm every day, he's used to it, anyway, there must be something wrong somewhere, so the other party has to come to his own decision. Hearing Montgomery's inquiry, the subordinate shook his head.

"No, sir. It was the Angus Paladins who had returned from the Endless Harbor. He said that he had completed the handover of the defense of the Endless Harbor and was here to report back to you. ”

"Oh, I see............ Well? ”

Hearing this, Montgomery nodded. Then he was stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses. Defense handover in the Endless Harbor? Isn't that lord the Endless Harbor to go? Could it be that he has already arrived? But why didn't I get the report? Thinking of this, Montgomery also frowned suddenly. He thought for a moment. Then he looked at his lieutenant.

"Have any new legions come to report lately?"

"No, sir."

"Okay. I see, let him in. ”

Hear the answer of his own adjutant. Montgomery was even more surprised, in terms of route, if you want to go to the Endless Harbor, you must pass through your own Eternal Winter City. But the other party didn't come to report at all, but went directly to the Endless Port? What kind of rhythm is this, even if the other party doesn't deal with him, but so many people pass by Eternal Winter City, someone must report it. Could it be that those guards have also become blind?

Doubts are doubts, but Montgomery's expression on his face remains unchanged, and he immediately answers. Soon, Angus entered the room. As soon as he entered the room, the paladin saluted respectfully.

"Report to the Grand Knight of Montgomery, Angus has successfully completed the defense handover of the Endless Harbor, and I have come to report to you."

"Thank you, Knight Angus."

Hearing Angus's words, Montgomery nodded. Soon, though, he rolled his eyes and asked.

"If I remember correctly, you're going to hand over the defense with the lord of Passus, do you mean he's already here?"

"Yes, Lord Montgomery."

Hearing Montgomery's inquiry, Angus did not doubt that he had him, but just nodded, and then spoke.

"They appeared in the Endless Harbor out of nowhere, and to be honest, they really startled me when they came. Listen to Master Walter, these people must have used some strange teleportation spell........."

"That's ......... so"

Hearing this answer, Montgomery understood. He wasn't surprised that Jenn would use magic, and it was no secret to the upper echelons of the Templar Order. Just now he called Angus in just to be curious about it, but now that he heard that the other party came through a teleportation spell, it also touched the doubt in his heart. So he didn't say anything more, but asked Angus a few more questions, and then motioned for him to leave.

And Angus was not a fool, seeing Montgomery's performance, he hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.

"Lord Montgomery, why did you let that lord defend the Endless Harbor? With his strength, I think it's best to put it in Eternal Winter City. ”

"It's not up to us."

Hearing Angus's inquiry, Montgomery shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"It's an order from the Supreme Council, and there's nothing I can do."

"That's right..............."

Hearing that this was the order of the Supreme Council, Angus also sighed helplessly. Frankly, after seeing the behemoth suspended in the air, he still had some confidence that Jenn would be able to repel the undead. After all, I've never seen something this huge before, so who knows what power it has?

"It's a shame that such a large floating fortress ........."

As he spoke, Angus shook his head and turned to leave, but when Montgomery heard him speak, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly stood up.

"Wait, what did you just say?!"

Angus was also taken aback by Montgomery's inquiry, but he replied quickly.

"Ah, that's right, when this lord came, he also brought a huge floating fortress, about hundreds of meters long. I've never seen anything like it......... Don't you know, my lord? ”

"Floating Fortress?"

Hearing this, Montgomery's face changed even more, how could he never have heard of that lord and this thing? Thinking of this, Montgomery hesitated for a moment, then looked at Angus and spoke.

"Angus, you get ready, come with me to the Endless Port in a moment!" (To be continued.) )
