Shouting loudly to halt the whole army, Odes tightened the reins of his horse, causing his mount to come to a slow halt. Releasing the reins from his hand, the Legion Commander looked around warily: there was a large marked rock in the woods to the east.

I don't think I'm wrong...... Pulling out the map from his bosom, in the light of the pale blue ice moon, Odysss carefully read the mark of the camp: this is it. The wide cave in the rock wall was large enough to accommodate four hundred soldiers of his own army.

Look at the pace of the march today...... Looking at the distance between last night and tonight's camp, Odys was satisfied: sixty-eight miles was quite good for a lightly armed army whose movement was hampered by the snow. If his army was all cavalry, he would have had time to camp in another cave to the north.

Turning to look at the tired soldiers, Odes secretly apologized to them in his heart: he had hastily gathered the soldiers who had not yet been on a mission when he returned to the barracks, and asked the soldiers who were willing to attack the Ice Rock to follow him. However, I didn't expect that just such a sentence would arouse their fighting spirit.

Even in order to live up to these warriors who sacrificed their lives to follow me, Lao Tzu has to fight these bastards well...... Gritting his teeth, his anger against the Frost Child burned again in the Legion's Commander's heart: at this rate, as long as we move forward in the middle of the night, we will be able to reach Beihaiwang at noon tomorrow.

I was so impulsive at the Ice Conference that I guess it made Mace half angry...... Flapping his hood, the Legion Commander was embarrassed by his temper: having said that, the city lord's statement was really unacceptable. In terms of his approach to the Ice Rock People, his style is that he can't be soft no matter what. Mace's speech was completely unexpected, but when he actually heard it with his own ears, the fluctuations in his feelings were completely beyond his expectations.

Mace's approach is very sensible, and a good castle lord should have...... Recalling in his heart the decisions taken by the city lord after various deliberations, Odysse clenched his fists: But what we need now is not to look at the overall situation in the future, but to take revenge on the ice and rock mongrel! Therefore, he could only pray to the dragon god that Eternal Winter would not be attacked by the Corruptor for a few days when he led his army.

Neverwinter must have sent pursuers. Putting away the map, Odys took a deep breath and secretly rejoiced: they must not have thought that I was walking on the old road without snow and stones. If nothing else, when we arrive in Beihaiwang, we will meet the herald of the city lord.

I won't go back if he says anything...... With a burst of resentment in his heart, Odes tightened his cotton clothes: once he got there, Lao Tzu must dismantle the outpost of the ice rock mongrels and kill all the villains inside to avenge the dead children of ice. As long as he can let out this evil breath, he doesn't bother to think about any consequences after that - he can die for the crime, and he will never cause these sincere soldiers to be affected by sending troops without authorization.

Giving a loud order, Odys sent scouts to explore the surrounding area. Moments later, they all returned, bringing news confirming their safety. However, only one person returned to the team after a long time.

Not paying much attention to why he had been away for so long, Odysse jumped off his horse and loudly announced that he would garrison his entire army in the cave to rest. The riders, who heard the news, looked weary and jumped off their horses and led them into the woods. (There were only fifty-three horses, and only a portion of the soldiers were allowed to use them.) Therefore, the soldiers were divided into groups and rotated, taking turns to ride. ）

Soon, the warriors were all entering the dry and cold cave, and each of them sat on the ground exhausted, constantly shaking their palms against their faces to keep warm. Eager to help the soldiers build a bonfire, Odysse looked around guiltily: everyone's dinner consisted of large chunks of thick biscuits, frozen dried meat, and melted snow.

After a tiring day of marching, his own soldiers could only eat this kind of food...... Feeling very complicated, Odeus rubbed the flint and tried to ignite the flint: when he arrived in Beihaiwang, he must treat them to a big meal. In this way, they can at least express their apologies - they will not all survive the attack on the outpost. Even, it will be surrounded and suppressed by the reinforcements quickly sent by Ice Rock City.

Just as he had managed to brush the velvet, a sound of eager footsteps sounded from the mouth of the cave, getting closer and closer. Odeus, who recognized the footsteps, was shocked and put down the flint: "Is it Edus? How could this guy find me......

The voices of the surrounding soldiers gradually fell silent, and everyone's eyes were cast on the corps commander. Slowly turning around, Edus's face appeared in front of him: the man's face was tired, and he was constantly beating the snow on his cloak.

"I didn't expect you to find it here. Odysses sighed and motioned for him to sit by the fire, "When did you set out from Eternal Winter?"

"Just yesterday, we were on the front and back. Unhurriedly, he took off his snow-soaked coat and hung it over the fire to bake. The snow drips down the flames with a "poof" sound.

"At first, I thought you would definitely take the big road, so I chased the new way. It seemed to be so cold that Eders gave up baking and put on a cotton coat directly: "But I chased after him all night and didn't see anyone, so I changed my route to the old road." ”

"You haven't rested until now?" Looking at the captain's slightly swollen eyelids, Odys sighed, "You don't have to work so hard, Edus-"

"You know what I'm here for. Staring into Odys's eyes, the captain's voice was hoarse: "Come back with me tomorrow morning, Odys." This is the order of the lord of the city. ”

"No way. Simply refused, Odysse said without concessions: "You don't want to persuade me." I'm going to have to—"

"Okay, I knew you'd say that. Interrupting Odyss, Eders smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I thought about it carefully, and I still think that what you did was more correct." If you don't teach those Ice Rock bastards a lesson, they'll only get more and more arrogant. ”

He didn't expect Eddes to say such a thing, and the Legion Commander couldn't help but be stunned: he must have heard it wrong. How could this come from the mouth of the captain of the capital garrison? He must have followed the orders of the city lord......

"I'll go back to the city at once and tell the lord that I didn't see you. Straightening his helmet, Eders turned and walked towards the entrance of the cave: "Once you reach Beihaiwang, remember to attack the outpost immediately, and don't give the enemy time to react." And if you move slowly, you may run into a messenger sent by Mace, and it will be difficult to communicate at that time. ”

"Understood. Relieved from his stunned moment, Odysse smiled with relief and watched the captain leave: I didn't expect him to understand himself so well. I really misjudged him before.

The moment Eders walked out of the cave, he stiffened his head and looked at a soldier with the same look in his eyes for a moment. Glancing at the soldier, Odes realized that he was the scout who had returned late.

Maybe he was bumped into by Eders before, and the captain was brought here? Without much thought, Odes leaned against the rock wall and took out a bag of dry food: I have to get up early tomorrow to dry the road, eat something and sleep.

Staring at the black light at the end of the hallway, the girl slowly turned around.

Two identical figures stood in the distance, gradually dissipating into the black mist.

The end of the world is still seventeen years and two hundred and one days.
