Eleanor and the others had planned to continue marching towards the Central Mountain Range after a little preparation, but as the night of the Demon Realm fell, the temperature of the entire Central Mountain Range began to drop sharply, and the entire army seemed to be a little unprepared for such an extremely low temperature, and some soldiers and Earth Dragons were more or less hypothermic.

Seeing that the loss of the army was so great that Eleanor had no choice but to order the camp to be set up at the entrance to the mountain road.

"Wow... This place is really going to freeze to death. Iskar slowly walked through the camp in a huge leather jacket borrowed from army supplies. You can see that due to the low temperature, the tents in the camp are covered with a thick layer of frost, which glows with cold light under the light of the torches.

"I'm here ... She rushed into the huge tent before her in three steps and two steps, and saw Eleanor, Cicelia, and Gardia waiting for her in the open hood.

"It's okay, right? You look cold. Seeing Iscar's trembling appearance, Eleanor couldn't help but ask with concern.

"It's so cold, how can it be so cold! I take a breath outside casually, and I will be frozen... She complained.

"Come to the fire, it's warmer here. Gardia gestured, and although she was wearing a leather jacket, she looked noticeably better than Iska was in better shape.

"How's your health, Gardia, would you like to rest for a while?" Iska asked with concern.

"It's much better, all the toxins have been excreted from the body, and although the strength hasn't fully recovered, it's fine. ”

"Well, if you're uncomfortable, don't push yourself, you know?"

"Don't worry, I know my own body. ”

"You two didn't expect the relationship to be so good, it really makes others a little jealous. Xixili on the side couldn't help but joke when she saw the two of them shushing and asking for warmth.

"After all, we have been born and died together so many times, and we have already regarded each other as our most important companions. Iskar said with some smugness.

"Okay, let's talk about it first, let's talk about what we're going to do next. Eleanor on the side planned for them.

"Also, let me talk about the interrogation of those bloods. Sicily said.

"Interrogation... How much useful information can you pry out of the other person's mouth?" Gardia looked at her.

"Don't worry, using the unique charm skills of the succubus clan, the other party will tell everything he knows almost without any resistance. ”

"Really, can a succubus do such a thing?" Iskar seemed to have a keen interest in the succubus race.

"Hawkers, although the other party has all confessed, some very important information has still not been obtained, and a guy of this level may know that there is still too little information. ”

"Let's talk about what information we've gotten. ”

"First of all, the specific movements of the enemy forces, after perceiving our breakthrough of the defensive line, the troops originally stationed on the border have begun to retreat, as if intending to encircle us together with the troops stationed in the mountains. Sicily said.

"But hasn't the fortress on the hill already been breached by us? The so-called encirclement must not have been established? It seems that the enemy did not expect us to have so many siege engines, and their original plan was to let the mountain troops hold the passage into the mountain until the follow-up troops arrived. ”

"I didn't expect that the other party's defenders couldn't hold it for even a day, so they were directly annihilated by us. Iskar teased.

"Strange, why would the enemy pursue us in the Waze area, if they intend to hold their positions to the death?" asked Gardia, puzzled.

"I also asked the captives about this, the attitude of the enemy was not so conservative at first, and the Bloods who led the troops in pursuit of us seemed to be the more radical faction of the Bloods, and they advocated a fierce pursuit of us from the beginning, even if a single force pursued us in depth, without fear. ”

"Does it mean that the leader of the radicals lost ground because of the defeat, so that the conservatives who intend to stick to it change the enemy's course?"

"That's pretty much it. ”

"Well, since the defenders have been annihilated by us, should we also wait for the troops that are coming after us?" Iska suggested.

"That's right, I've discussed with Sicilia that there is only one way into the mountain area, and it would be ideal to ambush the enemy's pursuing troops here. Eleanor replied.

"Wait a minute, isn't there still the troops on the other side of the mountain? If I'm not mistaken, Sicili's previous doppelganger was executed by the troops over there. ”

"Yes, the troops on the other side of the hill seem to be under the command of a man named Ulysses, who is not only Hibert's henchman, but also very good at strategy, and we really need to watch out for that fellow. Sicily reminded.

"I understand your concerns, I've already considered all these factors, I'm afraid that the troops on both sides of the mountain range will encircle and suppress us at the same time, but relatively speaking, the terrain on the top of the mountain is more suitable for defense, as the magic catapult that is the main force to fight the enemy, from where it can attack the entire range of the mountain range almost without dead ends. ”

"I see, so could the enemy have a similar siege device?"

"According to the information we have so far, it seems that the other side does not have such weapons, so we can concentrate on arranging the defense line. ”

"Well, I don't have a problem with this plan. ”

"I agree. Iskar and Gardia nodded in agreement......
