Chapter 260: The End Begins
The border of Kislev is on the border of the northern province, and half a day outside the frost forest is in the village of Kassi. Only a dozen or so people are still in the village of hundreds of people, they are outposts sent by Petrov, a total of twenty people, and the rest of the people who are not there are patrolling the edge of the frost forest at the moment.
"Captain! The sun has set, but Colin and they haven't come back yet! The sentinel standing on the tattered roof kept looking at the location of the Frost Forest, but he didn't see a ghost.
"Maybe they're delayed in something, maybe they'll find food." The captain stretched and stood up, picked up the wood that had been sorted around him, and added it to the fire, so that the fire could burn more vigorously.
"What about us? Would you like to pick it up? Hearing the food, the eyes of the surrounding soldiers all lit up, although the city had begun to slaughter war horses, but everyone only got such a pitiful piece in their hands, it was impossible to even think of chewing more.
"Whose class is tonight?" The captain asked, ignoring the wistful glances of his men.
"Captain! It's me! ”
"Old rules, enforce them, oh yes, remember to wake us up if Colin hasn't come back for three hours." After saying that, the captain looked at the place where the sun had set, calculated the time, and walked to the room a little farther away. After hearing this, the rest of the soldiers also looked at each other helplessly, and walked towards their respective designated houses. Except for the sentry in the first half of the night, everyone entered a separate house, far from the campfire, but close to the edge of the village.
When the sentry saw that everyone was out of the campfire, he arranged the ropes that had been prepared to carry the bells around the campfire, and one of them was connected directly to the cellar where the captain lived. Then, after putting some tattered quilts on the haystacks, avoiding the ropes, he climbed up to the roof from the side of a house, and after jumping over two houses, he got into a converted chimney, and began his duty in the first half of the night.
The job of these soldiers is to give the fortress a warning in advance, the bonfire is a tool to attract the enemy, whether the enemy is going to pass through the village of Cassie or not, the enemy who is exploring the way will definitely come back here to investigate the situation, as long as the enemy has bad intentions, he will definitely do it when he sees the sleeping camouflage around the campfire, whether he does it himself or goes back to report, and then sends more people, it will alarm the soldiers hidden in other rooms, a dozen or so people, as long as a signal flare is fired, then the Slughof fortress will know the news in advance, These soldiers have long since put their lives on the line.
As night fell, there was no sound left in the village except for the sound of the bonfire burning wood, and time passed quietly.
Two and a half hours later, the captain Menshak in the room near the end of the village suddenly opened his eyes in a cold, the room was extremely dark all around, so he had just opened his eyes and had not yet adapted to the darkness, he couldn't see anything at all, he gently tore off the quilt on his body, picked up the sword in his arms, and carefully walked out of bed, in order to ensure that he and all the soldiers lived without making a sound, the place where he and all the soldiers lived was covered with soft cloth, which was made by scavenging the garbage of the whole village.
The trap did not sound, the secret sentry did not warn, and the other houses showed no signs of being attacked, the captain's heart calmed down a little, but when he thought that the person who had gone to patrol the Frost Forest had not returned, the heart that had just been put down was lifted again, and when he walked to the entrance and was about to open the wooden door covered on his head and thought about whether to send someone to take the risk to answer or look for it, he suddenly touched a thin Xiaoice pillar covered with a layer of ice, and the hairs on his whole body exploded in an instant, The bell rope around the campfire was connected to the entrance to his cellar, that is, his dwelling was both a house for simultaneous alarms and a second decoy for distracting the enemy. But now, the rope with the bell was not as long as a finger, and it was now wrapped in a layer of hard ice, and the bell was frozen into a whole piece.
Menshak nervously drew his weapon, it was still silent outside, the loudest sound he could hear now was his heartbeat, he couldn't judge what was going on outside, and he couldn't figure out how the enemy managed to freeze the rope directly into ice, he didn't have a communication crystal, he couldn't contact anyone, he didn't dare to make any extra movements, so he stood motionless under the entrance of the cellar and continued to listen to the movement outside.
After about ten minutes, it was still so quiet outside except for the howling cold wind, he couldn't even determine the time except that it was still late at night, the enemy was able to freeze the rope, so the time agreed with the dark post before no longer existed, so now Menshak couldn't wait any longer, he slowly took out his signal gun, held it in his left hand, and then struggled upward, trying to push open the door of the cellar, but the door seemed to be locked, just a little bounced up a little before falling back to its original placeIn this silent night, the sound is undoubtedly extremely harsh, Menshak immediately thought when he saw this, if he doesn't go out now, I'm afraid he won't be able to get out again, so he used his best strength to go up again, this time although the door bounced up hugely, but still failed to break, the anxious Menshak couldn't care about anything else, tried his best to hit it quickly, and finally knocked the door open at the fifth time, and the cold wind poured into it, but Shamenlie didn't have time to feel the cold wind, the moment the door was knocked open, He pulled the trigger against the dark sky, only to see a brilliant red flare with a long tail soaring into the air, illuminating the entire village.
The flare rose into the air and fell, Menshak, who originally thought that he was going to be attacked madly, put on a defensive posture for a long time and did not see any enemy, hesitated and quickly climbed out of the cellar, and after perceiving the surrounding environment a little, he immediately prepared to run towards the bonfire, but just ran two steps, his feet slipped and sat directly on the ground, this time he saw the current situation of the village thoroughly, the houses in front of it were no longer those wood and stone houses, but one after another glowing with moonlight, Ice sculpture house with crystal translucent ice. Of course, not all the houses were frozen, and the whole village was like a few random lines drawn on paper, except that all the places covered by the lines were reduced to ice.
Just when Menshak was still in a state of blank brain, he only felt that the moonlight suddenly dimmed, and a huge figure appeared above his head, only to hear a dragon groan, Menshak just raised his head and was covered by a blue-white dragon flame, and in the next second, except for half of his eyes, Menshak's whole person turned into an ice lump, and from his half of his eyes, a huge blue figure covered with ice picks could still be printed, if he was still alive, he would definitely be able to blurt out, Frost Wyvern!
