"No! absolutely not!" Rant's office, Touron shook his head like a rattle, and even Rand was a little surprised that this shaking speed did not cause his cervical spine to misalign, "Lord Lord, don't you know what this means? Entering the Arctic Mountains in such a season is like death!"

"No, it's not just death!" Touron said in an accentuated tone, repeating his words again.

"The barbarians lurk in the shadows, keeping an eye on the Empty Collar at any time, waiting for us to reveal the slightest flaw before launching a final general attack. You choose to divide a large number of soldiers to fight the guys of the Dark Council in this tense time, and the barbarians will seize this opportunity to gnaw us to the bone!" Even the Iron Fist, who happened to be left behind by the debriefing, shared the same view as Touron.

"Moreover, even if the barbarians did not choose this period of hollow time and chose to sneak attack, the soldiers would not necessarily be able to successfully complete the mission, and no one understood how terrifying the Arctic mountains would be in winter. Touron waved his hand and pulled out a map: "According to the demon seed, the location of their lair is more than a hundred kilometers away from the air ferry territory, and the rough terrain also limits the speed of the march, so your knights cannot advance and can only choose to walk." By the time the army reaches its destination, I'm afraid it's too late. ”

"So what ......do you two think," Rand paused for a moment, "against?"

"Whether from the perspective of interests or from the perspective of operational reality, I cannot find a reason to support it. Touron nodded, his voice making his attitude clear.

"It's a bit unrealistic, and it's against the notorious Dark Council," Iron Fist chimed in, "and I'm against it." ”

Well, the two generals under his command were strongly opposed to his decision, which made Rand somewhat disappointed, and although the plan did sound crazy, it was not impossible to succeed.

"Lightning will act as our guide, they have lived in the Arctic Mountains for many years, they know the terrain very well, so they don't have to worry about detours, and we have the most advanced weapons to sweep through all the enemies that stand in our way. Rand insisted on his opinion, "After the soldiers leave, I will re-recruit soldiers from other villages and towns, or I can hire some legions, and only need to pay them some salary." ”

"So, why don't you just go to the rescue with a mercenary group?"

"We have to have our own soldiers on this mission. Rand had a smiling look on his face, "Don't you understand?"

"It doesn't matter what the outcome of this operation is. ”

"What matters to Lightning and his companions is our attitude towards this matter!"

Whether it is a tool that can be discarded when it is used up, or whether it is a companion and follower who can really be entrusted to the body and mind, all this is up to Rand to decide.

Although he can save his life and choose to retreat in the empty crossing realm, he will probably be remembered by the demons because of this, and Rand once chose to do nothing and let their companions die silently.

Even if no one dares to blame him, there will be a question in the hearts of all demon seeds, if I suffer the same crisis one day, the lord I follow, Rand Capet, will not make the same choice.

This is the so-called superior, the means to win people's hearts.

Touron was dumbfounded, looking at Rand with a hint of shock in his eyes, in his memory, Rand would not be someone to play with such a mind.

"Of course, we still have to do our best to save the trapped demon seeds, after all, you have also seen with your own eyes how much magic can help the development of our territory. Wouldn't it be a pity if a group of people with such extraordinary power died silently in the depths of the icy Arctic Mountains?" Rand pondered his words, "I think that through the right channels, each demon seed can radiate its own light. ”

"If you insist on doing so, I'll do as I am told. ”

"Go get ready. ”

......

After Touron and Iron Fist left, Rand sat alone in his office, taking a sip of a glass of red wine, and at some point he began to like this liquid with a faint bitter taste, perhaps after discovering that it could relieve some stress on his tired body.

He thought that Snow's return journey would not be particularly smooth, but he didn't expect it to be so bad, the demon seeds almost threw their lives on the way as if they were fleeing, and they barely came to him by supporting each other, and Snow, as the leader, was also captured and captured, which is really ......

During his conversation with Lightning, Rand also figured out his and his companions' abilities, some of which were practical and some of which seemed useful......

Actually, it's just a lot of chicken.

Lightning's ability has been demonstrated, but Andy's ability has shocked and excited Rand to decompose items through contact, which means that he can abandon those clumsy purification methods in the future, and if he wants the substances contained in the ore, he can directly ask Andy to decompose the ore to its original state, and then obtain a substance of amazing purity by distinguishing impurities.

As the name suggests, the ability to move extremely fast can even be flown in a short period of time.

Connor can shift her mind to the animal, forcibly taking control of the body, and Rand thinks this ability is very useful, and the reconnaissance and surveillance work is not too pleasant.

The cold-looking little boy's ability is to stealth, not to be invisible, but to integrate himself into the environment around him, like a chameleon.

What surprised Rand the most was that the last Demon Seed's ability was to heal!

......

Rand sighed, the plan couldn't catch up with the changes after all, he thought that after Snow's return, the development process of the Sky Ferry Territory would be rapidly improved, after all, in Snow's mouth, some companions' abilities are very suitable for manufacturing or building.

For example, "wall-builders", such as "cutters", ......

But unexpectedly, the expected large-scale migration of demon seeds did not appear, and a considerable number of demon species were hostile to Rand's recruitment order, including Rand himself, and under the leadership of "some high-level", they chose to stay in the depths of the mountain range.

If this rescue operation goes well, then the rest of the demon seeds, even if they are tied up, will be tied back to me.

In essence, the demons are completely no different from humans except for their magical powers, they are all a group of guys who say no, but their bodies are very honest.

They could have turned down their invitation without enjoying the comforts of the air-crossing territory, but when they truly felt the difference between living in the mountains and living in a warm city, Rand didn't believe anyone could resist the temptation.

Even if the kidnapped demons swore that they would "rather starve to death, die in the Arctic mountains, and jump off the walls of the fortress, than accept human recruitment".

Rand is also confident that with a comfortable environment, generous treatment, and fragrant meat steaks, the iron-clad demons will say a word......

It smells so good!
