The news finally arrived, Renault's army had reached the city of Kosol, and Rafa sent Litan to look closer to the city, and she came back to say that the vanguard of the army had begun to approach the city of Icefield.

"I really want to see what Renault looked like when he knew that Firi was pregnant, he must have become furious, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to send someone to crusade against Icefield City. Since Litan had returned at night, Rafa had no choice but to wake up Vina, who was still sleeping, and then take Audrey with her, and the three of them went out of the city together.

"Ahh Vina, who was still sleepy-eyed, was immediately shocked by this news and woke up.

"Her Royal Highness Fili, she ......." Audair tried to answer, but was interrupted by Rafa.

"Hehe, you can go back and ask her. Rafa chuckled and glanced at Audrey.

"Oh. Vina stupidly agreed, ready to go back to Filihill, after all, pregnant women need more care than the average person.

Audrey smiled helplessly, she knew that Rafa would be the victim when he did this, and that Felihill might have to have trouble with him again, but it was also possible that nothing would happen, because she would probably force herself to ignore such a trivial matter if she was stubborn.

"Your Highness Rafa, what do you want me to do?"

The three of them walked for a long time along the road with a large pit outside the city gate, and finally came to a stop where there was a white line on the ground.

"Trench, you know what it is?" said Rafa.

Vina shook her head.

"Uh... You think of it as a ditch without water. ”

"So you want me to dig a ditch here?" asked Vina.

"It's not one, it's dozens or hundreds. Rafa pointed to his feet, then to the distant gate.

"Your Highness wants to stop the enemy's cavalry with continuous trenches?" Audrey knew the news that Litan had brought back this time, the incoming army was all cavalry, and the cavalry was best at surprise and frontal blocking, but they were sent to attack the city, which was obviously a mistake by Renault.

"I see. Taking advantage of the night, Vina looked in the darkness and held out her hand.

Digging a trench couldn't have been easier for the Earth Witch, and as soon as she moved, the ground on both sides of the road squirmed like soft waves, then cracked in the middle, and then stopped, and it was as simple as that.

"Is that so?" asked Vina.

"Exactly," Rafa looked into the ditch on either side, and saw that the width was sufficient, "if only it were a little deeper." ”

"Understood. ”

Vena had spent the last two days playing with Cole by the shores of Lake Kinai, and the two of them had so much fun that she had planted small trees on the opposite side of Lake Kinai, and she had carefully repaired some of the places near the lake that were about to burst, and this was the first time she had discovered that the unbridled use of magic was so comfortable.

With her recent experience, she was able to dig the pit very smoothly, and in a short time, most of the trench from this line to the gate of Icefield City had been dug, and at this time, the ground outside Icefield City seemed to have been slashed with a huge weapon, and the swarthy trench blocked all roads to Icefield City except for the main road and the Redwood Forest.

To the west, the fine trenches reached the edge of the Hirry River, and to the east, the trenches extended directly to the foot of the hill, and the distance between each trench was wide enough and deep enough that Renault's cavalry could not charge at all, and there was only a large road in the middle;

This is a typical position that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is why Icefield Castle was established in the first place, not only to defend against foreign invasions, but also to prevent its own rear roads from being cut off.

This place, which was thought to be a place where birds don't poop, is now finally back in his role.

After the middle of the night, Vina was so tired that she could not stand steadily, and the barrier to prevent the cavalry charge was finally made, and from the city wall, it looked like a fine "non" character, except for the middle road, there was no place on either side that was not pitted.

Asking Audair to take Vina back to rest, Rafa whistled towards the city.

The Kohl faction, who had already been prepared, carefully carried the wooden boxes one by one, and walked towards the end of the road.

Needless to say, these were all mines, and the knights had seen the power of these things, and they were very careful to carry them for fear of detonating one of them.

The knights borrowed the farmers' hoes and dug holes in the ground, and Rafa himself led the men to fill in the mines.

The location of the landmines they filled in was very irregular, not only did they bury a lot of them on the road surface, but they also buried some on the top of the earthen wall of a certain trench.

Because of the division of labor, it was very easy to fill the mines, and the five or six hundred mines that Felihill had improved had already been laid in the middle of the day.

Rafa was a little worried that if the guys didn't get fooled and withdrew, then he would have to remove the mines himself.

The sky is getting brighter, and the ice city immediately becomes busy again, but everyone has a feeling that the atmosphere today is more tense than ever, and even those who don't know the situation can see that the war is about to begin.

Boxes of bullets and shells were moved from the Castle Lord's Mansion and the Iron Factory to the head of Icefield City, and in addition to the previous howitzer, Philicille and the Iron Factory produced ten more cannons, more than 900 shells, and several bullet rifles.

Rafa couldn't believe that with such a weak industrial foundation as Icefield City, it could make so many weapons and ammunition in a short period of time, so if Icefield City's industry continued to expand in the future, how strong would its military industry be?

It's just that such wanton production is the result of sacrificing trade, and under normal circumstances, no one would sacrifice a lot of financial and material resources to do such a thankless job.

Eleven long barrels sticking out of the wall, and the knights carefully examined every step of the cannon, even the shells in the boxes placed on the side, for fear of the slightest accident.

More and more wooden boxes were piled up on the walls, containing grenades and rifle bullets made in recent days, and the knights opened them as ordered, and the dense shells inside were dazzling in the sunlight, and in order to make it easier to access them when they were finished, they placed them neatly in their intended places, which looked like they were piled up on hills.

Sieverus had suggested that Rafa should call up some militia just in case, but he felt that it was completely unnecessary, he already had so many weapons and equipment, and he was using the weapons of the hot weapon age to attack the cold weapon, he could not think of the slightest possibility of losing.

In the morning, Felihill walked to the city wall with a banner she had made for Bernice and Coria.

The knights hoisted a low red banner with a golden flame rose painted on it.

At this point, the Flame Rose officially became the symbol of Icefield City, although Felihill had not discussed it with Rafa at all, but he did not object, and in order to show his determination to fight Renault, he broke the golden sword tattooed with the pattern of the Flame Dragon for the prince in front of everyone.

"Do you regret it?"

In the breeze, Felihill asked.

"Regret? Regret that I have such a beautiful wife as you?"

"No," Philicille had been arguing with him lately, "if you had handed me over in the first place, there wouldn't have been so much trouble." ”

"yes...... Maybe it will save you a lot of trouble......" Rafa sighed and looked at the wheat that was growing well in the distance, "but so what? I don't want to do that. ”

"Why?" asked Felihill.

Rafa scoffed, "Your question is really strange, do I need any more reason for you to leave?"

"That's right...... "Felihill bowed her head slightly, "it was by the lake that day...... What do you want to say to me?"

"Uh......" he didn't expect Philicille to be so observant, "hmm...... Actually, what I want to say is ......"

"The enemy is coming!"

Rafa was about to say something when an exclamation came and he had to stop and look into the distance.

In the distance, the banner of the Flame Dragon had emerged from the winding road, and it was clear from the neat queue of cavalry that it was an extremely well-trained cavalry.

They lingered outside the dense ravine for a while, looked at Icefield City, didn't make any moves, and then quickly left.

"What do you want to say?" asked Felihill, as if unconcerned about the enemy, continuing to Rafa.

"Nothing. ”

Looking at the cavalry in the distance, he had a premonition that he didn't want to, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say just now.

Felihill took a slight breath, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.
