Pieces of snowflakes flew all over the sky, and slowly, the snowflakes grew bigger and faster, turning into fine snow, and gradually, into goose feather snow.

Heavy snow fell intermittently for several days and nights.

The whole village seems to have become a world of ice and snow full of poetry and jade, and a snow blanket seven or eight centimeters thick is spread on the ground.

Outside the small village of Nisse, a clearing hundreds of meters away, there is also a thick layer of snow.

At the edge of the clearing is the forest.

The trees of the forest are covered with shiny silver strips, and the evergreens are covered with heavy snowballs.

The animals disappeared without a trace, and the entire ice and snow forest was silent, as quiet as a pure maiden.

By the time the snow fell, all the villagers and wild slaves of Nisei, who had been working outside, had already been evacuated.

The open-pit coal yard was temporarily closed, the clay was stopped, the limestone was no longer dug, and on William's orders, all the people withdrew to the village.

The villagers returned to their leaky huts, lit the red clay stove, put on the clay pots, added water to cook sweet porridge, and the family gathered together, while feeling the warmth from the stove, drinking sweet porridge, chatting casually.

Occasionally, when they got bored, they went out to the villagers they knew well, and while thanking the lord, they cursed the weather, making it impossible for them to continue their work and losing a lot of wages.

When the children were bored, they shouted together and ran out to have a snowball fight.

At this time, the adults generally don't care, and only when the weather gets colder, will they be called home to roast live donkeys to drive away the cold.

And on the side of the savage slaves, a dozen or so people in a shack, the same is true, day and night lighting the red clay stove, eating the sweet powder provided by William for free, feeling the heat take away the stiffness and coldness of the body, and the heart is full of emotion.

When you were in the mountains, how could you ever have such a scene?

Every winter, it is a dead end.

In the mountains, where there is not enough food and enough firewood, many people die every winter.

How could they have imagined that they could live such a happy life!

Some of them looked at the snowy sky outside the shack, and some of them lay on their sides on the thatch, and they all had the same thoughts: how good it would be if such days could go on forever!

However, if someone enjoys, someone has to give!

What allowed the villagers and wild slaves to enjoy life so leisurely was the presence of a convoy that patrolled day and night, maintaining the highest vigilance.

In the past, the convoy had never been required to participate in the manual labor of the construction of the village, and was paid well and enjoyed a hearty diet, but now, it was time for them to pay.

Sheds had been erected in the area next to the city gates on the front and back sides, and the members of the convoy were divided into four teams and stationed at the city gates, closely monitoring the situation outside the small village of Nisse.

Large quantities of combat materials are concentrated here.

Most of the guards would rest on the fire in the shed or wipe down their weapons.

Wild slaves and some of the official guards were sent to the aisles of the city walls.

Some are responsible for clearing the snow, while others are climbing up to monitor the forest.

In the snowy winter, it is impossible to keep the members of the escort team on top all the time, no one can stand it!

William didn't want to cause non-combat attrition, it would be too embarrassing!

So every time the honeycomb coal is burned, a group of wild slaves and guards will go up.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Because of the experiment, the energy consumption of the magic mirror is too large, and it can only last for about a month.

William really didn't dare to use the magic mirror to detect the situation in the swamp.

What should I do if all the energy of the magic mirror is used up and "shut down"?

Will William use the Magic Mirror but won't "turn it on"?

The Magic Mirror was his most important treasure, and William couldn't afford to risk it!

But William couldn't rest assured, so he had to come here often to make rounds.

However, William, as a lord, is not afraid of danger and is on the front line, this rare behavior has inspired the fighting spirit of the guards members, and they are full of fighting spirit!

But it became an unexpected gain for William.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Towards evening, the sky was gray.

William took Old John and Old Gretel to the gate at the end of the village once more.

A few hundred meters from here, there is a dark forest, and this is the most dangerous place.

So William also came the most.

At this time, the captain of the escort team responsible for guarding this place was Kerry Mark.

When he saw William coming, he hurriedly saluted.

William nodded flatly, and was about to walk to the top of the city wall.

Suddenly, the magic mirror in his arms shook, and the voice of the mirror spirit appeared in his mind, "Master, there are lizardmen in the dark forest ahead, and the number of lizardmen detected is currently 973. ”

973 lizardmen? Nearly a thousand? William's color changed suddenly, and there were almost three times as many members of his escort.

Without saying a word, he immediately rushed to the wall.

Kerry Mark, Old Gretel, and Old John all saw that something was wrong, and immediately followed.

On the walkway of the city wall, William looked far away.

In the dark forest hundreds of meters away, in the snow-white environment, dense black shadows appeared, which were constantly approaching.

William has good eyesight, and he can see clearly what those black shadows are at once!

The head is hideous, the fangs are sharp, the legs are erect, like a human, the forelimbs are short, claw-shaped, the body is covered with black scale armor, and there is some viscous solution on it, and behind their bodies, there is a tail that drags on the ground, full of cold light and glittering cuticle, swinging from side to side.

Sure enough, it's a lizardman!

The lizardmen in reality are much uglider than the lizardmen that William saw in the magic mirror last time.

The lizardmen are getting closer.

At this time, Old John, Old Gretel, Kerry Mark they also saw them.

Old John's face turned white, and old Gretel became extremely flustered, but it was Kerry Mark, who showed an extraordinary mental quality, although his face was not good-looking, but he did not lose his direction, but looked at William with inquiring eyes.

William immediately yelled, "What are you still stunned for!" Don't hurry up and inform the others! ”

The others came to their senses.

"Old John, old Gretel, go down. It's too dangerous here, it's not your battlefield! Get the logistics organized! That's where you behave! William commanded again.

Old John and Old Gretel are people who know how to measure, and they know that they are on the front line of the war at this time, and they will only affect the performance of others, but will not have a little effect!

The two old men hurriedly descended the city wall and returned to the village to inform the other villagers.

"The guards at the gate of the village head do not move!"

"Inform the rest of the resting convoys! Come all over here at the end of the village! ”

"Check out the other areas of the city walls and see if there are any lizardmen?"

"Bring all the bricks to the top of the walls! Servant soldiers, stand as rehearsed before! As soon as the lizardmen get close to the walls, you will drop them with bricks! ”

"I promise you, as long as you do your deeds, as long as you kill the lizardmen, you will receive my special reward, you will no longer be a slave, and your lord, I, Baron William, will grant you freedom! You will become the freedmen of the small village of Nisse! ”

"Guards, for the same merits, you will receive honor, money, and power from me!"

"Fight! Fight for our survival! ”

William commanded calmly.

Under his command, the members of the escort and the servants who had lost their minds also came back to their senses and were nervously busy, carrying out every order of William!
