Chapter 37: Winter of the Soul
Although Hisalie's account was believed by everyone for the time being, it was customary for Vina to deal with Romula's questioning a few days later, and for this reason, Hisalie had been angry with her before she came, and it was easy to remember since there were not many facts actually made up.

It didn't take much time to pull more than a thousand people under Manov's command away from the defensive line, in order not to have any accidents, Hisali and Manoff acted together, it was best to carry some magic parchment to participate in the battle according to her idea to deal with the unexpected needs, but after carefully taking a closer inventory of the magic parchment she had asked people to buy everywhere in the past month, most of them were only third-order magic, and only three of them had reached the fourth order.
"In the end, all you can really use is the earth elemental horn and these three fourth-order parchments... Hisali shook her head, she looked at the soldiers who were drawn out of the front line to follow her, and was surprised to find that they did not have too many dissatisfied expressions, after all, this kind of method of suddenly withdrawing the soldiers from the front line during the confrontation with the enemy is not very good, she still feels that it is necessary to explain: "Soldiers, I know that some of you may be dissatisfied with my decision, here I want to say that the cultists of the evil gods are also our great enemies, if we wait for them to regain their roots, we will have to suffer from the enemy, and the previous encirclement and suppression operation will be meaningless, So what you need to do now is just as important as confronting the Sea Clan, and we have information on the Cultists' strongholds, and now we must eliminate that threat, and I hope you can understand. ā
"Your Excellency the Governor doesn't have to be like this, we have been obliged to obey your orders since we entered the port of Kankula, so your current orders do not violate the regulations."
"Thank you, Captain Manov and all of you." Hisali suddenly noticed that Manov's attitude towards her had changed a little compared to a month ago, when the regimental commander treated her well, but always had a condescending feeling, as if he was looking at a vase, and now Manov looked at her with little contempt, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth when she thought of this: "Then without further ado, let's hurry up." ā
"Understood."
The scars left by the previous encirclement and suppression operation in the plum forest land need time to heal, and Hisali quickly found the place to save Weina, during the meeting, she said that it was the information provided by Weina, so it was necessary to come to this place first, first, although there are marks on the map, the actual hole is not easy to find, and second, if you look for Manov everywhere, you may doubt the authenticity of the information, and you can't be so anxious to find a vague target for them.
"Commander Manov, this is the place where we rescued Weina, her physical strength is not strong, so she can't walk too much, please let the soldiers scatter the search in small groups, the maximum search range is an area with a diameter of thirty kilometers centered here, not necessarily in the plum forest, according to the last experience, they like to dig mountains and camp, maybe which hole is the entrance to their camp, by the way, if you find something wrong, let the soldiers put signal flares first and don't do it without permission."
Manov nodded, Hisali squatted down and attached her palm to the ground, and the magic lines passed from her palm into the ground, and after a while, she withdrew her hand in confusion, what she released just now was the magic of detecting the wood element, there is an essential difference between the breath of ordinary plants and magic flower plants, even if she is not a student of the plant department, she can sense this as long as she has a little magic foundation, but just now she did not feel the breath of demonic plants around her, if it was just that, it would be nothing, but there was a sense of disobedience in her mind.
Although these plants seem to be vibrant, the breath has a false feeling, as if the plants here have long since died but because of something that causes them to still flourish, Hisali looked around, those plants that had fallen because of the battle a few days ago were naturally needless to say, the other trees really couldn't see anything from the outside, the breeze blew through the branches and leaves, and a bird with brilliant wings stood on it and flew away.
"Commander Manov, what season is it?" Hisali asked with a strange look on her face.
"Summer, what's wrong?"
"In summer, as expected, there seems to be some coolness around here, not the coolness of the forest in summer, but the chill that comes from the soul a little biting." Hisali stood up and looked at Manov: "The clothes we wear have thermostatic magic, but this also hinders our perception of the environment, the head is like a blue peacock, the claws are like vultures, the wings are four colors, and the tail is like an awl, this is the Elomo Sparrow that only appears here in winter, but now it's summer." ā
"You mean?" Manov's eyes widened, and he looked around in disbelief.
"The appearance of lush and green has actually withered, the birds that should have been sleeping in spring, summer and autumn have now awakened, the essence of winter, the appearance of summer, if you take off your clothes, you may be able to feel the sense of disobedience of the seasonal disorder, here is already winter on the soul level and the substance level, but it will not be perceived by ordinary people at all, and you may not perceive it either. Winter at the soul level is not so easy to encounter, it is a situation that people will only perceive in their old age and are limited to themselves. ā
"Is this also the work of the cultists?"
"It's hard to believe, but now they have to be served in a pot, I didn't feel this here a few days ago, but now that it's expanded to the whole of the Plum Forest, do they want to boil frogs in warm water and make Cankula Harbor a land of death? No, it's not just the ports, they can even spread to the entire Cankula region and even the entire empire if they are not discovered! "What Hisali said is exaggerating, but it cannot be ruled out, a large area of the soul winter is very dangerous, and if it is not solved as soon as possible, the danger may be even more serious than expected.
Shout!
One by one, it is very similar to the orange fireworks used by children to play and rush into the sky one after another, this is one of the signal flares they specially chose before coming, because they can clearly present fireworks in the sky during the day, so they are very popular with children, although it is summer, but for the children of the Saran Empire, there are still a lot of fireworks to play, for this point Hisali has specially issued a fireworks restriction order to avoid possible dangers, but it is not very useful, now they use this as a temporary signal flare to confuse the enemy's judgment, Let the enemy mistakenly think that this is just a child's play, because not many armies will use such irregular flares.
"It's an orange morning glory firework, and it looks like a fighter has discovered a suspicious hole."
