After this conversation, Alice did not stay in this gathering place for long, and after eating dinner and replenishing some supplies, her figure disappeared into the blizzard.

The Novgorodians did not stay, and Rurik did not dare to keep them, and after hearing Alice's speculation, they were afraid that the strong men of the Attila Empire would suddenly appear here, and that they would be found to be connected with the sworn enemies of the Attila Empire.

In the Attila Empire, many things, many things actually don't need any evidence, as long as there is enough suspicion, as long as there is enough motive, or even nothing, it can be used as a reason and excuse to deal with it.

Not to mention the rest, the orcs, a race that was once known as the Three Evils of the North and had great strength in the Attila Army, was only disposed of because of Atira's suspicions.

The once thriving race is no longer able to find a trace in the north, and has either been slaughtered or sold as slaves to the goblins.

With the experience of the past, how dare the Novgorodians stay, and how dare Rurik, who is kind and responsible, to stay, when Alice left, he hid directly in the house, and even refused the final parting.

On the face of it, the stay was undoubtedly a failure, and Alice received no benefit from the Novgorodians, nor any promises from the Novgorodian chieftain Rurik, nor any firm pact, except for two meals and a few supplies.

Even the information about the druids she got only verified Alice's previous guesses, and there was no substance at all, and it didn't help her much to find the druids.

But in fact, through the previous conversation, Alice has planted a seed of rebellion in Rurik's heart, whether it is because of ambition or for his so-called goodness, as long as the poor soldiers of the Attila Empire remain unchanged, then he will one day embark on that path.

As long as he remains the leader who will choose to stand up for the lives of his people, and finally abandon his dignity, throw everything away and choose to surrender, and put the disposition in Alice's hands, then he will eventually follow that path of rebellion.

It has a little to do with faith, interests, and ambition, but the biggest thing is because Rurik is such a kind and responsible person.

Perhaps one day, Alice will hear the news of Rurik's defeat and death, or that the Novgorodians have unified the entire Rus' steppe in order to build a great empire.

In the midst of the raging blizzard, Alice's figure still maintained a levitation of three meters above the ground, and the magic maintained outside her body made it impossible for the cold and wind to affect her body, and it looked like a transparent umbrella.

Magic is so convenient, even in many cases, more convenient than the world that Alice once lived in, the things called science.

At least in the face of blizzards and low temperatures, the things that science has come up with can only be worn in thick, bulky armor-like fully enclosed clothes (it has not yet developed to the level of cosmic individual tactical weapons).

After leaving the Novgorod settlement, she moved in the direction of the north, and according to the information she had received from Rurik and the information she had analyzed and refined, she believed that a snow-capped druid was active in the northern part of the Novgorod region.

On the one hand, because the Novgorod supply lines were on this side, which were the targets of the druids, and on the other hand, because in the northern regions of Novgorod, where the inhabitants were attacked so often that almost every few days a village would lose contact or receive news of an attack.

Although it is also possible that the rabbits do not eat the grass next to the nest, those snow-capped druids deliberately went to the north to attack, and placed the camp in other places, but the only information and information in hand is this, and they can only try their luck.

I have to say that the speed of the flight was really fast, and after just half a day's work from the gathering place of the Novgorodians, Alice came to the northern regions of Novgorod.

Here, the thickness of the snow has reached a terrible two meters, and the blizzard in the sky has not stopped, and it is difficult for a race like humans to move freely in such an environment.

No, not only humans, but even creatures such as white bears and winter wolves that can move in a blizzard will not like such an environment, and birds of prey such as eagles, eagles, and eagles can only be found in the sky after the blizzard has stopped.

However, the inability to see these creatures may not only be a problem with the blizzard, but more likely that the Snow Mountain Druid used magic to control these beasts and treat them as thugs.

In addition, it is also strange under the thick snow that there are no signs of those large number of voles, which makes Alice sure something, there are indeed traces of druid activity here, their camp is near here, and among those druids inside, it is very likely that one of them can control those large number of voles.

Don't underestimate these individuals who are only the size of a palm, the little guy that an adult can trample to death with one foot, no matter what it is, when the quantity reaches a certain scale, then the quantity will also become the quality.

A vole is not a problem, it is easy to solve, but when the number of voles becomes a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand or even more, in the face of such a terrible number, even a strong person like Alice and Attila has to avoid the edge for a while.

Just like the war that Alice once experienced that decided the fate of the Baltic Sea and became the real opportunity for the establishment of the Baltic Empire, the number of fishmen as high as hundreds of millions can easily tear apart all the enemies in front of them.

If it weren't for the fish-man who made a few stupid mistakes and was accurately caught by Alice and the mermaid princess, then the current Baltic Sea is a different matter, and Attila probably has no experience to launch a westward expedition, and she needs to worry more about the countless fish-people in the Baltic Sea.

So, in an open place, it's okay to say that Alice can also gain a certain advantage with her ability to fly, but in caves, tunnels, etc., those narrow places, it will be troublesome.

Well, before I knew it, Alice's old mistake had come again, and before I saw those snowy mountain druids and confirmed their attitudes, I began to put them in the enemy's position to analyze and speculate.

The wind blew away the smell in the air, and there was no other color in the vast white world except Alice, and I have to say that in such a violent snowstorm, looking for the traces of the snow mountain druids is really no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

Alice has no way, she doesn't have a good way, the plane wall of the main plane has thickened, making a lot of magic about space unusable, otherwise, with the white dragon scales she got in her hand before, it is easy to teleport directly to the target.

Just when Alice was still struggling with what to do, in the forest not far away, surrounded by layers of enchantments, more than 20 people in white clothes gathered together and discussed fiercely.

They were young and old, men and women, but they spoke the ethnic language of the Scandinavians, and they held a staff made of oak in their hands, and their necks, wrists, bare feet, and fingers were covered with strange ornaments.

"This can't be the case, we can't stay here any longer, the elder has just died, and two more squads have lost contact. ”

A teenager stepped forward, his mouth still tinged with childish fluff, and he looked around at his companions, a look of determination mixed with a hint of fear.

After the news of the death of a Whopping Hundred, and an Elder, all the druid squads fell into a frenzy of revenge, and they did not forget to collect their tracks.

However, even if this was the case, even if they changed camps every few days, they could not hide the panic in their hearts, and even the elder and the team of many people were easily annihilated, and if they encountered it, they would definitely not be spared.

In particular, after two more squads lost contact soon after, this fear spread even more among the druids in the snowy mountains, and even the sound of abandoning the supply line to attack Attila and returning to the Norwegian mountains began to spread.

It's not that you can't go back, but you can't go back in such a cold winter season, when the Baltic Sea is frozen, at least until spring arrives and the Baltic Sea thaws again.

This was the judgment of several elders of the Snow Mountain Druids, who believed that if they persisted until that time, first, without the cover of the blizzard, their tracks would be easily exposed, and it would not be safe. Second, the thaw of the Baltic Sea means that the Baltic Empire can participate in this war, and third, the unsealing of the sea, Attila's army cannot come by land, and can only choose a more dangerous sea route with greater losses.

Unfortunately, although the high-ranking elders of the Snow Mountain Druid Force have great prestige, in essence, they still need to pay attention to the master, and simple orders will not work, and will only cause opposition.

Usually, I don't see anything bad about this system, but when there is a little setback, when the fear begins to spread, and the people below are unwilling to continue, they have no other way but to compromise.

"But...... The plan developed by the elders ......"

The other young man said hesitantly, his eyes full of fear, and it was not the young man in front of him who was afraid of him, but the prestige that the elders had accumulated over the years.

"You don't want to be killed, do you?"

He was also apprehensive about the prestige of the elders, but he was more reluctant to leave his life in this foreign land than to be punished afterwards and scolded as a coward by his companions.

"Agree with me, pack up tonight, and we'll leave tomorrow morning. ”

The reason why I didn't choose to leave here at night was because in this kind of snowstorm, even the druids were very dangerous, and since they were leaving here to save their lives, it was impossible to rush for a night's time.

"Let's go home. ”

Coming home, these two words touched the nerves of everyone present, and everything, whether it was the fear of the elders or anything else, turned pale and monotonous in front of these two words.

Even the young man who had just stood up to refute lowered his head at this time, not saying anything, he hadn't seen his family for a long time since he came to this strange land.

I don't know if his mother was still holding the torn clothes in front of the stove at this time, carefully sewing them.

I don't know if his elderly father was lying on the bed and snoring at this time because of the fatigue of the day.

I don't know if those naughty little guys in the village, without them, still have the heart to chase and fight.

Thinking about it, his face was already crawling with tears, he hung his head deeply, and wiped it with his hand, but the redness in the corners of his eyes could not be subsided no matter how he wiped it.

The people around him were the same as him, and the word "homecoming" evoked the longing in their hearts, and with a similar look on their faces, they returned to their respective tents melancholy and began to pack their things and luggage.

The druids were not a good warrior, they had no formal training, and even during their time in a foreign land, they were raiding the supply lines of Attila every day, fighting high-intensity battles every day, and getting wounded or killed every day.

They may have become proficient in their movements, and they will not hesitate to kill enemies who can talk to them, fear and beg for mercy, but this does not mean that their hearts have become strong enough to completely enforce orders.

This is something that is determined by the circumstances in which they were born and lived, and it is unavoidable, just as their elders have no right to dictate to them, and no right to punish them for violating a previously agreed plan.

Although there are casualties and hardships in attacking in such an environment, there is still a very big gap compared to the cruelty of the frontal battlefield, and even these cannot be endured and accustomed to, and when a brutal war is really fought, you can imagine what kind of problems will arise.

It is estimated that a single fear spell can destroy the minds of these druids and make them ineffective, just like the vampires who were once hostile to Alice.

But even so, as long as they are well protected and used as a simple firepower battery, it is still okay, just shoot the magic as a cannonball and shoot it to the designated location.
