Chapter Seventy-One: The News of the Cold River

Winter in Apocalypse City always came unexpectedly, and after a few days of heavy rain, a bone-chilling cold wind swept through the entire royal city. Overnight, the goose feathers and heavy snow dyed this apocalypse city white, and I don't know how much sin and squalor will be hidden under the silver cover.

The nobles took off their luxurious cloaks and put on heavy fur coats. These materials taken from the treasured beasts set off a wind of comparison among the nobles in the Apocalypse City, and at the same time, the fierce beasts preparing for the winter in the wilderness also ushered in a catastrophe. To satisfy the fur needs of Apocalypse, hunters and pioneers hurried into the wilderness in shabby leather jackets and armed with crude guns and axes.

The beasts looked at the weak creatures strangely, and the humans who had been about to flee when they saw them now seemed to have a red glow in their eyes that were even more ferocious than their own, and they screamed and pounced.

Every winter, greed always kills countless people in the wilderness.

In the morning, Austin was also wrapped in a thick coat and braved the sudden heavy snow to walk into the main building of the Operations Department with Austin. Shaking the ice ballast on the big wall vigorously, watching them turn into snow in the heat, Austin frowned slightly, and handed it to the attendant next to him to dry.

"David, are you sure Lord von Lantlin sent someone an urgent message in the middle of the night last night asking me to meet him this morning?"

"Yes, I didn't bother you anymore when I saw that you were asleep, and it was the same for you this morning. I don't know how long I haven't seen this midnight emergency, and I don't know what it will be. ”

Austin took a deep breath of warm air, and was secretly satisfied with the warm winter and cool treatment in the main building of the Operations Department, and slowly stretched his waist and said, "It's not just those fights and kills, nothing special." You can wait for me in the office first, and pour me a hot cup of coffee by the way. ”

Davix nodded and walked up the stairs next to him.

Austin came to von Lantlin's door, gently slammed the door, and heard a faint "Come in" inside.

Pushing open the hidden door, Austin saw von Lantlin sitting behind a desk with gold-rimmed glasses. Draped in a thin blanket, he lit a cigar in his left hand and flipped through pages of documents in his right hand. Although he dresses like this, if you really want to treat him as a weak civilian, I am afraid that he will pay a heavy price.

Seeing Austin come in, von Lantrin slammed the papers on the table and said to Austin, "See for yourself." ”

Austin looked at the red paint on the cover of the document and said, "Such a top-secret battle report...... I don't think so, can I?"

Von Lantlin said: "Just look at it, where is so much nonsense?"

Austin heard the heavy impatience in Von Lantlin's tone, and didn't say anything more, picked up the file and flipped through it quickly, and also frowned.

"The branch of Hanjiang City is not a waste, why is it so unbearable?"

"It's not a waste, it was actually broken through the main building by a group of rioters, and there is a letter sent to us for help!" von Lantlin almost lowered his voice and roared, slamming the cup in his hand to the ground!

The confidential secretary behind him turned pale with fright, but Austin didn't feel scared, and Von Lantrin didn't release the coercion of the level, indicating that he was just venting, but he could still suppress his anger in his heart.

Austin sat on the sofa next to him, and carefully flipped through the battle report in his hand, and found that Von Lantrin was only carried away by anger for a while, and was only angry with the Hanjiang City branch. In this incident, both the court and the military headquarters suffered heavy losses, and although the soldiers of a division and regiment stationed in Hanjiang City lived in the barracks outside the city and were not greatly affected, the office building of the military headquarters was also broken by the rioters.

Austin wisely didn't express his opinion, but just asked, "What do you want to do now, my lord?"

"What else can I do? I can't just let it go. Von Lantlin sighed, showing a hint of fatigue after venting his anger, "You take someone from one place with you, take my warrant, and the local operations department is under your full command." Also, I don't know about the dispatch of the Dark Horse, but the Rhine of the Inquisition will come with you. ”

"Rhine?"

"Hmm. Although Hanjiang City is not a big city, it is also a place where trade routes meet, and one of the Sixth-Order Candidates we stationed there is seriously injured, so you must have another high-end combat force to suppress the formation on this trip. I remember that you had worked with him before, and although he was not your subordinate this time, you were under your full command of the support operation, you know what I mean?"

Austin's heart sank, and he got up and replied, "The villain understands. ”

Feng Lantrin waved his hand and said, "The specific plan will be sent to you later, so you can go and prepare first." ”

Austin nodded, summoned someone to clean up the fragments of the cup underground, and then gently closed the door.

Moments later, Austin hurriedly drank the coffee on the table, cleaned up, and then took Davix to the lecture field. At this time, all the personnel in one place have been assembled, and the transparent dome formed by the alchemy matrix isolates the wind and snow from the outside, but there is still a cold wind from time to time that comes in from nowhere.

Austin briefly explained the operation, and finally announced: "Everyone, go to the float boat at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and whoever will be late will be court-martialed!"

"Yes!" the crowd replied, led by the blazing bear.

After coming out of the teaching field, the two Austen wrapped themselves in a big coat and let out a breath of white air.

Davix's beautiful face was almost wrinkled, and he said: "At this time, the weather is freezing, we should stay in the main building of Apocalypse City and wait for the winter to pass, why do we still have to go to Hanjiang City?" I heard that Hanjiang City is a little colder than the south, and the wilderness is now frozen for thousands of miles, and there are only fierce beasts and hunters who don't want to die, so we still have to travel so far......"

Austin rubbed his frozen cheeks, gave him a blank look, and said, "You went over in a floating boat, what does the ice and snow in the wilderness have to do with you? This matter is not as simple as the war report says, and von Lantlin probably felt a little tricky to let us pass." ”

Davix still looked aggrieved and wanted to say something more. Austin didn't bother to pay attention to him, knowing that every winter Davix would not bother to move, and walked straight to the carriage that was already waiting outside.
