Chapter 155: Let Me Take a Breath

By the way, the old ghost is dressed in the meticulous costume of an old butler and the crow is actually quite matching, and it looks a little domineering, and there is a feeling of being led by a strategist. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

But in fact, the old ghost has no attainments in this area, in fact, Angus usually doesn't look as reliable as Moulton, and he is a bit of a three-legged cat level when he fights, at least the foundation of the professional background will not be bad, and the brain with a normal IQ will not be bad, and he finally has some talent in this area, which is rare, and he has the ability to do it at all.

Angus came up and snatched the letter from the old ghost's hand, threw it on Moulton's table, and the two big men lay on the table without any image.

The old ghost bowed alone and withdrew from the tent, and the crow dissipated into a cloud of black mist and feathers over his shoulder.

In fact, at this time, Angus and Morton were full of anticipation and hoped that Carlil could bring them a little good news, and that they could bring a little light at this time, so that they would not feel that the future was too dark, and they could have a better mood or something.

It's a pity that the message Kahlil sent to them only made the two of them break out in a cold sweat......

"Another unit...... Oh, another troop, that's amazing."

Angus muttered, walked around the room, and sat down in the chair next to him.

Morton silently read the letter again, before rolling up the letter and tucking it between a large, thick book beside him.

"How" Angus asked, "what now." ”

Out of a habit of colloquialism, Angus asked Moulton not really to get any help, but just to provoke the beginning of the conversation.

"What can't I do" Moulton crossed his fingers on the table, tapped lightly on the table, thought for a moment and replied: "There won't be any worse development, according to the original plan......"

"It's just that I think we need to be a little bit earlier." Angus said that the details must be made clear: "Tomorrow you send a team to meet the place marked by Karil, and before that I will prepare everyone to retreat, and after bringing her back, we will retreat to the Ice Goddess." ”

Morton frowned and thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"If you guess correctly, another force over there will appear directly from our southeast, and if we don't quickly withdraw from this area, we will be attacked by both sides, and if the other party's route is more aggressive, there is even a certain danger of being cut off."

Angus said, he breathed a sigh of relief, got up from his seat and continued: "Without further ado, I'll go and prepare, and you should also pay attention to the three points, so let's do this first." ”

"Okay."

Morton didn't have much to say, and Angus exchanged a glance and nodded.

Kaliel's route back was clear, the new force didn't clash with her winding path, so the original route back was not affected, if anything, it was probably that the speed of the return trip was more desperate now. This made Karil have to make some special potions and feed them to the snowy mountain horses pulling the cart, so that she can barely withstand such a hurry......

There's no way, time waits for no one, and now it's slow to go back, and the scene you see may be turned upside down, compared to a few horses is really nothing.

When it was just dawn the next morning, Carlil's motorcade finally stopped, and was stopped by a team of more than twenty people in front, which was the end of this escape.

Angus personally led a team to the route marked on Carlil's map, and began to wait halfway down the road with his people before dawn, patiently waiting for Carlil's group to appear in his sight.

You always have to see her in person to feel a little relieved. Her presence even made Angus feel that the large number of enemies he would face ahead was actually nothing.

As the sun began to rise, and with the help of natural light, Angus could barely see clearly, and finally a small convoy appeared in everyone's field of vision, starting from the roof of the carriage, from far to near, as if rising from the horizon, and finally stopped in front of the eyes of Angus's group.

"I'm back......"

Karil leaned out of the carriage window and waved at Angus. On the other side of the carriage, Honglian also poked her head out and looked at it, and Qing Xi, who was driving the car, looked tired, but she didn't think there was anything wrong.

"Welcome back."

Angus originally thought that when he came back from such a trip, he would have something to say when he met, but in fact, when he met like this, he searched his stomach and scraped his stomach, but he couldn't say a word.

"Is it okay?"

Carlil asked aloud, pretending not to notice the subtle change in Angus's expression and getting back to business.

"Hmm...... Thanks to you, there shouldn't be a problem for the time being. Angus nodded and said, adjusting his state to make himself more reliable: "Anyway, there is not much time, let's talk about it when we go back, let's evacuate quickly." ”

"Where next?"

Carlil asked again, she was now afraid that Angus would utter a place name that was still very outward, and that her urgent letter would be in vain.

"Go straight back to the Ice and Snow Goddess."

Instead of letting Carlil's fears come true, Angus said the safest place at the moment.

"So what are you waiting for, let's go."

Kahlil smiled with satisfaction and shrank back from the carriage window.

Angus waved his hand, and everyone regrouped into a team and galloped in the direction of the Ice Goddess Fortress.

The place we are going to is probably the safest place for everyone at the moment......

Under the current situation, whether it is comparing equipment or numbers, Sunderland's two forces have a great advantage, and they are simply superior enough to be able to crush their own side, and there is no room for luck, and the existence of the Ice and Snow Goddess Fortress has become the only advantage that Scarloa is currently relying on, and it even makes people feel that the next life and death of everyone are hanging on this small fortress.

Holding here, Sanderland will not be able to attack Scarloa in a short time, Scarloa's defense line is still outside his own territory, and once this place is lost, it will immediately open a door for Sanderland's invasion, which can allow the troops to quickly pass through here and enter Scarloa's territory. At that time, no matter whether you win or lose in the end, you will directly face huge losses and threats.

The altitude of this place is still very high, although it is not as high as the peak of the mountain range, but compared to the below, the whole fortress is like being built on the mountainside, embedded in the middle of two large mountain ranges, blocking a pass of the moat, and a large number of people and horses collectively climb over the snow-capped mountains almost to find death, everyone understands that Sunderland will definitely leave no stone unturned to break this place......

And their large siege engines moved slowly in the mountains, which probably gave Skaloa a respite.

The whole fortress now resembles a huge castle, but it looks much lower than the average castle, and from the outside, it looks like a rock solid, covered with a little snow, and briefly outlines the concave and convex outline of the building.

Although this thing is Scarloa's own building, and it is also a famous attraction in this area, it is really the first time for Karil to visit, and he has found a sense of grandeur when he sits in the carriage and looks at it from a distance.

"How long has this thing been built......

Karil retracted her head from the outside of the carriage, the heating inside the carriage was quite sufficient, and it didn't take long for her to stick her head out, and she felt like her face was being blown cold.

"Then it depends on what kind of craftsmanship~" Honglian replied, the weather made her not want to move at all, and she didn't even want to get out of this warm carriage when she got to the fortress.

Karil and Angus were the last of their own to return to the fortress, and the gates were pulled up to await their arrival, and after the last convoy entered the fortress, several gates finally slammed into the ground, sealing the entrance to this side completely.

In fact, another difference from the castle is that the fortress does not have a moat, because it is very easy to freeze the river in this environment, and the moat has no purpose at all.

And it's no better than your own castle, there is no ventilation system, and there is no heating, everything is to defend against attack, and being strong and strong is the whole point of its construction.

Back in the fortress, Carlil felt as if she had jumped into an ice cave as she jumped out of the carriage, and her hair stood on end for a while, and it took a long time for her to relax. The red lotus behind him hugged the small heater test tube tightly, as if holding her own life......

"I heard that the new unit is not equipped with special warm equipment?" Angus asked.

As soon as they returned to the fortress, everyone was in place, and the soldiers were supposed to do what they wanted, and Morton was also dealing with various things in the depths of the fortress, and Angus, as the commander of the front, was given a gap in the line, and he put on his clothes alone and went straight to Carlil's carriage. As he spoke, he asked a few guards to bring a few padded jackets to put on for Karil and the others.

"Well, no, at least not the usual insulation, no insulation in the armor, and it doesn't look like there's anything like that - it looks like it might be a heater or something, but it's not going to last long." Karil replied immediately, after all, she couldn't afford to delay her business.

"So they can't stay here for long," Angus said, beckoning to everyone, and led everyone up the side steps to the room above the fortress.

"Well, but the other way they start to attack will be more violent," Karil said, tightening her collar.

"It's a lot better than fighting a war of attrition," Angus replied, "which means we still have a chance, at least until reinforcements come." ”

"Reinforcements? When"

"Within a week."

"It's too slow to see," Karil grinned, paused halfway up the stone steps, and reached out to grab Angus's shoulder.

"Huh?" Angus stopped, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"As I said beforeβ€”what do I want?"

Kahlil asked earnestly, a glint flashing in her eyes. (To be continued.) )
