Cecil was once again attacked by monsters from the Gondor wasteland, and on the same day succeeded in annihilating the invading enemy - this became the fastest and most widespread news in this cold winter, and the spread of the news was not only the credit of various spies, merchants, and mercenaries, but also the tacit approval and even covert promotion of Gawain himself.

In Gawain's words, it was "necessary to let the cosy southern nobles and royal capitals know of the threat."

In this cold winter, many people are destined to be struggling to sit and sleep.

Eastern border of Ansu, Changfeng Fortress.

As the chief guardian of the East, Duke Silas Loren personally guarded the fortress for many years, and at this moment, he stood on the top terrace of the castle in the center of the fortress, looking out at the layers of walls in the distance, and the vast expanse of ice and snow covered in the wilderness beyond the wall.

This fortress, which was completed only ten years ago, is the pride of the Loren family in the East, and it has gone through three generations of hard work, and the East family has paid huge financial, material, manpower, and even the blood of family members to finally erect this strong fortress on this land that is in tat-for-tat with the Typhon Empire.

The establishment of the Fortress of the Wind stemmed from the rapid deterioration of relations between Ansu and Typhon.

In the Misty Moon civil strife a hundred years ago, the Eastern Loren family was the most well-preserved of the Duke of the Four Realms, from the very beginning, this family realized that the Typhon Empire, which has always been commensurate with the Ansu brothers, was actually a huge threat, so throughout the Misty Moon civil strife, this family did not let its core power participate in the chaotic and cruel struggle for royal power, and the limited few actions of the Loren family during the civil war were just to maintain their position and influence within the kingdom, And most of their energy has been focused on this eastern border - as it turned out later, the Duke of Loren's care and conscientiousness protected the entire kingdom.

After the civil strife was over and the situation in Ansu was quickly pacified by the establishment of the Second Dynasty and the thunderous manpower of the Northern Wilders, the Loren family began to build a series of defenses along the border, and the Changfeng Fortress was the most energetic, time-consuming, and strongest garrison of all the defenses.

It is not so much a military fortress as a fortress and a city, with all the facilities to keep the fortress running and self-sufficient, and the warriors of the Loren family are both the soldiers who defend the city and the inhabitants of the city, and the purpose of this fortress city is to stand on this frontier land under any circumstances, and never fall.

When Ansu was in great decline due to civil strife, and Typhon's empire became more and more powerful and had bad intentions, it was precisely because of the barrier established by the Loren family that Typhon's bad intentions could only be bad intentions.

In fact, the four Ansu families in the civil strife of the Foggy Moon can be said to have assumed several completely different historical roles: the Franklin family in the west has always maintained diplomatic and trade relations with the Oguray tribal state, preserved the economic lifeline of the kingdom, and laid the foundation for the reconstruction of the kingdom after the war; The Wilder family in the north used an illegitimate son as a banner to quell the civil strife of the entire country with a thunderbolt, and forcibly stabilized the kingdom before the situation became irreparable; The Loren family in the east served as a barrier to the borders of Ansu, holding out unscrupulous enemies from abroad during the kingdom's civil strife.

Although each of them can be said to have their own selfish intentions, and they were almost divided and hostile during the civil war, they still held the kingdom at the last moment.

In stark contrast, at the same time, the Cecil family, which was originally founded by the heads of the four founding dukes in the south, has been glorious for 600 years...... Didn't do a single thing.

Now that the ancestor of the Cecil family is alive, no one dares to directly accuse the Cecil family of honor issues, and can only say that their family is unfortunate, and they have encountered the worst heir at the most critical point in time, and the ancestral foundation is almost destroyed.

Historians have always been enthusiastic about this, and they have always talked about what caused the four families to behave so differently during the civil strife of the Foggy Moon, but in the eyes of the Duke of Loren, all the discussion of that history is meaningless, and he believes that the main reason for that situation was that Gawain Cecil died too early - Duke Cecil, who died in battle at the age of thirty-five, left this world prematurely, so that he could not pass on his glory and glory to his children in time, so the inheritance of the Cecil family went a big problem in Grumman Cecil's generation.

Duke Cecil's resurrection this time may have come to educate future generations.

Silas Loren stood on the terrace, quietly thinking about these questions about the history and glory of the kingdom, many people think that this legendary duke is just a martial artist, but he thinks that those are just the foolish opinions of the ignorant, he has never lacked deep thinking, but his talent on the battlefield is far higher than his thinking, so people only notice his strength.

A familiar aura approached, Silas Loren withdrew his gaze into the distance, he turned around, and saw a young man with short brown hair and armor walking onto the terrace, this heroic young knight in military uniform bent slightly in front of him: "Father, the information is here." ”

"Knightly salute!" Silas Loren said sternly, "Belk, you're reporting now!" ”

"Yes!" The young man quickly stood up and gave a very standard knightly salute, "General, the latest information." ”

Silas nodded, "Say." ”

"It has been established that the defenders of Typhon Winterwolf did fight a few days ago, but not against us, but against an unknown 'monster'. The defenders of Winterwolf were victorious, and the fortress was not breached, but the outer walls were moderately damaged, and the casualties of the defenders were unknown, but they should not be few. ”

Silas nodded slightly, but was noncommittal, and the young Belk, the eldest son of Silas Loren, couldn't help but speak: "Father, this is a good opportunity for us to weaken the enemy!" ”

Silas looked into Belk's eyes expressionlessly, "Do you really think so?" ”

"The fatigue of the enemy is our advantage," Belk said with his head held high in front of his father's gaze, "Their walls have been weakened, it is difficult to repair them in winter, the defenses of Winter Wolf Castle are weak in a short period of time, and secondly, they have been attacked by monsters, panic in a short period of time will weaken their combat effectiveness, and finally their soldiers are also damaged, so this is a good time for us to attack." ”

"Idiot."

Belk straightened up, not flinching.

"Did you know that Winterwolf is not a single fortress, but one of a series of fortresses? Did you know it's winter, and there's a lot of snow and ice between us and Winterwolf? Do you know how many reservers the Typhonians have in their fortress complexes that can replace a frustrated legion at any time?

"This damage was not a blow to Typhon at all, but it would have allowed them to at least double the defenses of Winterwolf and its surroundings in a short period of time, and a large garrison would be moved from the rear of the fortress group to the front line to make up for the lack of defense caused by the broken walls; We're going to cross the ice and snow to attack Winterwolf's Castle, and the ice and snow will weaken our troops a lot, and the enemy's exhaustion is our advantage? When you run to the foot of Winterwolf Castle, you are tired! And the most important point, the offense, is all-out war, but did I say that I want to go to war with Typhon now? ”

Belk lowered his head in embarrassment, but couldn't help but say, "Our war with Typhon ...... Right in front of you. ”

Silas looked at his son, who was too young, and he could feel the courage in the other person's chest and the thirst for victory and glory, which was a quality he had worked hard to instill in the other party, but he still had to shake his head at the moment: "Don't expect this war. Don't expect anything at all. ”

"Father?"

"A warrior should indeed be hungry for victory on the battlefield, but not for the war itself, especially with Typhon," Silas Loren said slowly, sighing softly, "and have you heard anything else?" ”

"News else?" Belk frowned, obviously not knowing what his father was referring to, "What is it?" ”

"A group of merchants from the southwest, they came into the city with an alchemical potion," Duke Silas said unhurriedly, "They say that the new Cecil Territory in the southwest has also been attacked by monsters, and those monsters are mutated creatures from the Gondor wasteland - your intelligence is too slow to come, and even the news of Cecil's territory has followed the merchants here, but you have only found out about Winterwolf Castle!" ”

Belk was a little ashamed, though he knew it wasn't his incompetence—it was a matter of great difficulty and efficiency for a merchant to walk in a safe and stable country and for him to investigate the situation of the well-sealed hostile fortresses outside the country, but even so, it was true that he had not been able to do the best of his work.

So he silently accepted his father's criticism, and tasted a disturbing feeling from the news mentioned by his father: "Those monsters...... Is it the monster that Duke Gawain Cecil mentioned when he warned the nobles in the royal capital? ”

"That's right," Silas Loren nodded, "not many people believed him when he first gave his warning, even I didn't pay much attention to it, but now it seems ...... I'm afraid I made a mistake. ”

Belk looked at his father in amazement, he rarely saw his father admit his mistakes.

"Those monsters are real, and they're threatening human territory," Silas ignored his son's gaze and continued as if talking to himself, "They're going to attack Typhon and they're going to attack us, and in the eyes of those wasteland monsters, there's no such thing as Typhon and Ansu, and this sudden threat...... I'm afraid it will change the whole situation. ”
