276.Chapter 276: Avalanche
December 3, afternoon.
In the southeast of the Kingdom of Holier, the royal city of Ignaz.
Ever since the Connell the Conqueror unified the entire kingdom of Karen seventy years ago, the great emperor has entrenched his royal family in Ignaz, a "white city" made of countless granite stones.
This seaside city has the most developed port in the country, and the continent at this time is not yet in the era of the "Age of Sail", so the kingdom's few maritime trade is in Ignaz, which makes it the richest city in the kingdom and the largest gap between rich and poor.
Not one of them.
The dusty Wellington knights stood silent in front of the inner city at the heart of the city.
He had traversed icy mountains and forests, crossed perilous roads, and arrived with urgent letters from the Duke of Angmar, only to be greeted by the indifferent guards of the kingdom and the oppressive white marble walls.
"Knight, your letter has been presented to Your Majesty, and if there is nothing else, please leave here. โ
The royal guards in golden armor kept Wellington out of the palace, and the ghost knight stood there, although the other party's words were only formulaic prevarications, but he felt an inexplicable depression building in his chest...
The royal family's fear of the Roussifron family is not a secret that it is not open to the public, and everything is expected to be cold at the moment.
But... Does this titular king really care about what happens on the borders of the kingdom?
He looked at the majestic but erosive gorgeous palace in front of him, shook his head secretly, and turned to leave.
"These undead... What the hell do you want to do?"
In the center of Ferminon's palace, King Charles II, who sat on the throne, looked gloomy, as if he had passed through the great hall in front of him and projected to the end of the kingdom - but in fact, all he could see was the ornate wall of cold marble and a statue of the king.
The Ferminion Palace, with its countless wealth amassed, has long been worth no longer in gold coins, and in such an environment, the most emotion that the thirty-six-year-old Charles II has every day is "pride"...
Like all the nobles of the city, they revel in the glory of the past and are proud of the stability that the entire kingdom now has.
For Charles II, who had never left the city of Ignaz in his life, his concept of the territorial area of the Cullen Kingdom was still stuck in books and paper, and the words "Ivota Domain", "Western Frontier", and "Gondola Mountains" were characters for him, and the king did not care about some of the meanings behind them.
"Evta belongs to Angmar, he has to take care of this matter regardless of it, as for how to take care of it, it is his own business, I just need the result..."
The plans put forward by the Prime Minister in consultation with him were completely superfluous in the eyes of Charles II - he wanted results, not excuses.
Sunlight shines through the hole directly above the Ferminon, and the afternoon light shines on Charles II on the throne, and the white and gold robes reflect the light, setting off the king like a god.
And he enjoyed it very much.
"Augustine has bowed his head and is willing to apologize to me, what else does Angmar want? Both Karen and Tasman have to give face to each other - if the old skeleton sincerely admits his mistakes, then why should we continue to embarrass each other? โ
"The Gondola Mountains are not our territory, they can do whatever they want, write back to Angmar, tell him to refrain from always acting like they are ready to fight. Charles II smiled, as if remembering something, "After all... These skeletons are far more sincere than those orcs, at least I like what they send. โ
"Give the knight who sent the letter some goodbye gifts, and don't let people think that we royal family are stingy. โ
"Already gone?"
December 3, dusk.
The group to the Sola outpost continued to march in the cold wind, and the mountain path was not too steep, but because of the thick snow, the speed of the whole team was not ideal. If the road conditions are still bad, the mountains that can be traversed in three days may be delayed until four or even five days.
For Roddy, who was in a hurry to go to the "Sola Sentry" to support, this was by no means good news.
But on the way into the mountain, no one could see anything from Roddy's expression, he was silent all the way, and only said a few more words when teaching Akasha the High Elves-
The meaning of the word is somewhat complicated to explain. In this sentence, it means 'to manifest'. But put it here... Yes, in this sentence, it means 'sign'. โ
The sun was setting, and only afterglow was left on the horizon, and when the handwriting on the book became blurry, Roddy reached out and closed the "Energy Essence" and whispered to Akasha: "That's all for today, go back and review it well." โ
The beautiful priest put away the notebook and nodded obediently-no matter what was between Roddy and Nata, when she sat beside him, Akasha's mood was incomparably calm and pleasant, but after a few casual conversations, she turned around and wanted to leave, but she was suddenly stopped by Roddy-
"By the way, come to my tent in the evening. โ
Roddy didn't explain why, but just gave the order - the words seemed to be a little ambiguous, causing Akasha to freeze in place, blinking her eyes, and asking, "Yes... What's the matter?"
"It's important," Roddy whispered as he looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, "I haven't been able to tell you before, so I need to talk to you frankly today." โ
Akasha had never seen Roddy speak like this, and his mood suddenly became a little apprehensive, his originally snow-white skin spread a patch of pink, and his eyes stared at Roddy stunned, and he forgot to say anything.
"What's wrong?"
Roddy asked with a frown, his eyes a little puzzled. Akasha hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, no problem, I'll come." โ
Akasha finally said this, her palms were sweating nervously, and when she turned around, her legs tripped and almost fell, and she stumbled away after being held by Roddy...
"It won't be... Misunderstanding something, right?"
Luo Di scratched his head, although his emotional intelligence is low, but the women he came into contact with after crossing over are really a lot for him in the past, and Luo Di finally has some simple understanding and judgment of some of the performance of women - he can be sure that Akasha's performance just now is "shy".
I'm just talking to her about a plan, what's there to be ashamed of? I'm not going to confess to her...
Wait... Wait a minute!
Thinking of Akasha's performance in front of him, Roddy's brows furrowed more and more, and finally exhaled, helplessly reaching out and rubbing his brows. Obviously, his mind is always dull, and he finally took the initiative to figure out one thing: Akasha has a crush on him, and thinks he is going to confess to her today.
Roddy admired himself for being able to figure out these things, but the ensuing troubles gave him a headache... Although this priest has a gentle personality, a hot body, and a good face, Roddy has a deep affection for Nephi, and he has no thoughts about Akasha at all!
"Is it because of the good-looking face?"
Roddy didn't pay much attention to his looks, but he didn't think he was handsome there eitherโperhaps a habit of walking alone in the past. Unable to figure out why, Roddy didn't bother to think about it, he muttered, and when he turned around, Nata's figure had quietly appeared not far from him.
The wood elf had just looked at Akasha thoughtfully, but had reverted to his usual indifference when reporting the information.
"Confirmed?"
"It's been confirmed, six in total,"
"Guess it's tonight. โ
Roddy confirmed his thoughts, breathed a sigh of relief, and after Nata left, he whispered a few words to Sodrore, and then gave an order to the whole team: "Before dark, rest on the mountainside ahead." โ
In front of the view, there is a slightly empty flat area, located on one side of the mountainside, with a cliff of 100 meters on one side and a slightly steep and snow-covered mountain wall on the other. The mountain breeze is slightly blocked here, and it looks just right for the station.
The soldiers obeyed and soon arrived at the intended location, and immediately began to set up tents and cook as before... When it gets dark, campfires light up in the camp, reflecting the tents that stand out in the snow.
The sky overhead was obscured by clouds, the moonlight was dim, and it seemed like it was going to snow again tomorrow.
Roddy raised his head, his gaze swept over the hovering blackbird in the dark night sky, turned to Sodlore and said, "Everything is going according to plan, let's get started." โ
Midnight.
There was no movement in the camp, clusters of bonfires swaying in the cold wind, and only a dim orange glow remained.
There were no flying blackbirds in the sky, but the silence at this time was inexplicably weird.
"Boom!"
Without warning, a deafening explosion appeared, followed by a thunderstorm between the mountain walls, followed by a second and third explosions!
"Click!"
The snow collapsed and broke in an instant, and then began to slide down the steep slopes.
At first, the snow didn't slide quickly, but as the sixth and seventh explosions applied the impact to the snow, almost half of the snow on the slopes began to move faster...
Avalanche!
There was a distance of more than 600 meters from the place where the snow slipped to the mountainside, and the snow moved faster and faster, until it completely showed a landslide and cracked, and it almost didn't take half a minute to rush to the camp!
Before the snow arrived, the terrifying air currents had blown countless tents off the ground...
"Whoaโ"
From a distance, the dotted bonfires were as defenseless as matches extinguished by the sea, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
In two seconds, the camp of more than 200 people was completely destroyed and buried by an avalanche...
Note: [Roddy's Scout Squad] group has expanded to 1000 people, group number 239443128 (239443128), I often bubble, and those who want to get a base hurry up.
