The snow fell heavier and heavier in the west, and the chaotic battle came to an end.

In the end, the Duke of Grey Dove got his wish and gained a foothold in the northwest of Holger.

He relied on Sunflower Fort, the former capital of the Great Prince, to transport a steady stream of soldiers on the other side of the river to the territory of Holge.

The team of the King of the Seven Seas acted as the most powerful allies for transportation and cruises.

Although Port Bominte was recaptured by the combined forces of the Grand Prince Taryn and Philip, the port city has already existed in name only. Ports that do not have access to the sea can only provide them with a shelter from the wind and rain. There is no strategic significance here.

The only thing that made the gray pigeon feel distressed was the earth snake Capricorn that he had raised for many years, and the head of the snake was cut off by the sword of the eldest prince Tyran, and the dead could not die again.

Enraged, the Sunflower soldiers even divided the giant snake and stewed a large pot of snake soup.

The other bad news is that Sir Papathia, the defender of Port Blooming, would rather die than retreat. In the end, he hanged himself under the siege of several times his troops!

And Baron Gelfes, who was responsible for garrisoning the pass of the Benlei Plain, also chose to retreat eastward under the full charge of Nehemia, and retreated to the city of Blossom and the Baron of Peron. Like a nail, it was firmly rooted in the hinterland of the sunflower. It is also a short distance away to threaten the royal capital of Holger, and it can be regarded as the most strategic move of the Duke of Gray Pigeon.

On the other side, the Golden Crocodile, which had been lying south of Bombinte Harbor, chose to retreat with all its troops for some reason. It's just that instead of retreating south to his domain, he made a detour to the east. Looking at the direction of his withdrawal, it seems to be the royal capital.

It's just that the roads are difficult to travel, and the mountains are covered by heavy snow. Although they knew that the golden crocodile was going to the royal capital, the people of the gray dove chose to ignore it. All they had to do now was to establish themselves here once and for all, building fortifications to prevent Holger's frantic counterattack the following spring.

Moreover, the three princes of Holger, who were in the Demon Forest, had already built fortifications close to the western realm, and their cavalry often appeared on the plains far from the Flower Castle, making it difficult to understand their thoughts. It's just that according to the news, Holger's Sunflower Grand Prince Tyron, after attacking Sunflower Fort for a long time, was unable to spit out blood from his mouth, and fell into a coma after cutting the snake.

The current Sunflower soldiers are managed by Sir Francis.

The devilish "Autumn Tulip" airship rose into the sky again. Who is it targeting next? Even the Turanian knight, who was the right and left hand of the Duke of Grey Dove, did not know.

To say that the Duke of Grey Dove's secrecy is really good enough. However, a day later, the airship surprised everyone and flew directly back to Grey Pigeon Castle.

I heard that the Duke of the Grey Dove was so aggressive and took the airship just to go back to meet a woman? This may seem like an incredible thing to outsiders, but when the Turanian Knight Captain heard the news, he just smiled. Maybe their duke will only be more like a normal person next to that woman. The Turanian knight thought.

The "Autumn Tulip" slowly landed on the special platform of the Grey Dove Castle, and the blind girl Sophia heard a strange noise in the sky from afar, and was standing on the castle terrace with a look of anticipation.

The two maids cautiously followed Sophia's side. A maid holds a thick fur cloak. The other was holding a hand warmer.

With the experience of the previous maids, the new batch has greatly improved from the former in all aspects.

The airship landed on the ground, and the Duke of the Grey Dove jumped onto the castle terrace.

It's just that he is usually carried up by the ground snake, and Sophia is a little strange at this moment, but she doesn't think much about it.

She greeted her with a smile, and the Grey Dove Duke, who had always had a dead face, suddenly smiled brightly and gave Sophia a gentle hug.

The two maids behind Sophia all bowed their heads, not daring to look directly at the adult.

None of them noticed it, and their bodies were trembling a little when they faced this adult.

Horay gently hugged Sophia and waved her hand slightly at one of the maids.

The maid hurriedly handed the heavy cloak in her hand to the Duke and quickly retreated.

Horay wrapped Sophia tightly in the thick fluffy cloak in his hand, and whispered in her ear, "It's too cold on the terrace, you must wear more." Also, it's winter now, and the fireplace in the castle is burning? If you feel cold, just tell her..."

"Mr. Wren, I'm not cold, and the fireplace in the castle is burning brightly. It's just that... Worry a little about you. ”

In fact, Horay also knew in his heart that although this blind girl couldn't see, she could see everything clearly in her heart. She knew she wasn't called Wren, and she knew she wasn't just a businessman.

This girl with a clear heart has never broken this, which makes Horley feel very comfortable. After all, once his true identity pierces the last layer of window paper, neither of them knows how to face each other.

After hugging, Horley reached out to put his arm around Sophia's shoulder, but suddenly a white tulip appeared out of nowhere.

He pinned the tulip to the girl's ear and gently left a kiss on her forehead.

A red glow appeared on Sophia's face. She didn't know why this Lord Wren was so active today? Although he is usually very good to himself, he hardly has too many intimate movements, at most he just pulls hands.

But at this moment, I heard Horay attached to the girl's ear, and her voice trembled a little: "Capricorn it... Went to another world... Papathia also went with it...."

Sophia's body froze. How clever she was, and from just a few words she could have guessed that Mr. Wren was not riding his great earth serpent to-day. And Baron Papathia, whom she had also met, was a very talkative elder and very chivalrous.

Mr. Wren said they went to another world..... He must be sad...

Sophia did not speak, but reached out and rested the head of the Duke of Grey Dove on her shoulder.

She hugged the adult's slightly trembling body and stroked his short soft gray hair. can only do their part to provide a warm harbor for the other party.

On this day, the fireplace in the bedroom of Grey Pigeon Castle was flickering, and the snow was falling outside the window.

Sophia lay on the big bed with her beloved Mr. Wren in her arms, using her own body heat to heal each other's wounds.

This gentleman, who seems to be indifferent on weekdays, actually loves his subordinates very much. And the big snake, I heard that he kept it for many years, just like his family.

Sophia, who had a bright heart, knew that this Mr. Wren must have gone to war this time, not to discuss a business as he said.

He said this probably because he didn't want to worry about himself, and Sophia obediently chose to believe it.

At this moment, Mr. Wren was already asleep in the crook of her arm. Sophia quietly pulled out her arm, put on her clothes and got out of bed.

She wanted to do something for Mr. Wren, if not much, but it would be enough to make him feel better.

At the moment when the girl left the bedroom with her cane, the eyes of the Duke of Grey opened suddenly.

He lay down on the warm bed and exhaled softly, a warmth and comfort that he had never tried before.

Sophia is the first woman in his life and will be the only one. And his own weakness can only be revealed in front of this woman.

Horley sat up and brushed his somewhat messy gray hair with his hands. He didn't seem to feel the cold outside the window, and pushed it open. Just like that, he stood by the window, letting the cool breeze pour in and blow his hair.

The cold wind and snowflakes gently beat on his broad chest, melting into a little water stain. And the perfect body that presents an inverted triangle is covered with dense scars.

I don't know how many life-and-death battles this famous Grey Pigeon Duke has encountered in his life! And these scars have brought him victory and glory one after another.

I don't know how long I stood by the window, until the girl's exclamation came from behind him, and Horay closed the window.

"Huh? Mr. Wren, are you awake? It's too cold outside, be careful of catching a cold. ”

A gentle smile appeared on Horley's face, but he saw something in Sophia's arms.

He walked over and sat on the edge of the bed with the girl, only to find that the girl was holding a gray puppy without a trace of variegation.

Looking at the dog's appearance, it seems to be two or three months old at most. This puppy has fat and thick paws, and his eyes are clear and curious. It was very well-behaved in Sophia's arms. When he saw the Duke of Grey Dove, who terrified his enemies, the dog looked puzzled and curious at first, but then suddenly spit out his pink tongue and licked it on Horay's hand.

Lord Duke was slightly stunned, even the Earth Snake Capricorn he had raised since he was a child had never been so close to him. But this dog.... Some of them don't know how to live or die, right?
