"Keep up with your captains, Ice Sons!" Raising the torch above his head instead of his sword, Eders took a deep breath and shouted in his loudest voice, "Don't cower like a coward, give me courage, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

Realizing that he was not good at speaking, Eders decided to stop talking nonsense and instead use the best example as a morale booster. Although he pleaded that the soldiers should not be afraid, he himself was already scared to death—I am afraid, only less than Denor's fear.

As a commander, his emotions completely determine the heroism of his soldiers. So no matter how frightened you are, you have to put on an iron-clad "mask" and hide your true expression. Since you want the soldiers to sacrifice their lives to charge, you have to be the first to rush to the front. If you want the soldiers to put aside their fears and muster courage, then they must behave more courageously than anyone else, and there must be no wavering.

Otherwise, he is not a commander who can hold up the military flag. Hearing that many of the commanders of the Warm Sun Land hid behind the army and never went into battle themselves, many of the Ice Sons, including Edus, had been scoffing at this, believing that it was a cowardly act and unworthy of being a commander.

Unlike the Frost Sons, who worship strength and martial arts, the Sons of Ice do not judge the quality of their commanders by whether they can fight or not. Instead, more attention is paid to whether he can lead by example and inspire the morale of the soldiers.

The commander does not necessarily require how strong his strategy and command are, but the adjutant and strategists around him must complement him and focus more on the cultivation of intelligence and the overall situation. It is precisely for this reason that, except for people with both ambitions and bravery, such as the commander of the Odes Corps, all the specific battle plans are basically formulated and perfected by their deputies.

This is the battle belief of the Children of Ice, and it is something that commanders on the frozen soil must be familiar with. It was because of this belief that he won the love of his soldiers, many of whom were willing to carry out Eders' orders efficiently and willingly. This has led many to mistakenly believe that Captain Eders is very strong and brave, and he is never afraid of any challenge.

However, this can be described as a complete misunderstanding, and those who are familiar with it know what kind of guy Eders is on a regular basis - absolutely ordinary, and only the hair that is on the top of the pile can make him feel a little presence.

In order to boost morale, Eddes sprinted at high speed in a short distance, regardless of the waste of physical strength, and within seconds approached the stone demon who had just thrown a boulder at him. Rolling sideways to avoid the fatal blow, Eddes flicked his left arm and threw the torch at the stone demon's side: this would free his hands and make it easier for everyone to observe Guladan in action.

However, after getting extremely close to Guladan and less than two meters away from it, Eders only felt the pressure to be enormous: the enemy's massive figure more than four meters tall was cast an even greater shadow by the light of the torch, and it hung over the captain. Although it is not lethal, it can still give people a lot of psychological pressure.

The stone devil's heavy breathing and painful wails irritated Edus, causing his calves to go limp, and his hairs stood on end. Controlling his body that wanted to tremble, Eders subconsciously had a desire to leave: this guy in front of him was not an enemy that normal humans could deal with at all.

However, he could feel the burning gaze of his back focused on all the players who were rushing over. The soldiers were watching to see how the captain would behave. Driven by a sense of responsibility that should inspire morale, he eventually thwarted his instinctive reaction to flee with the courage and will that was unique to the battlefield.

Gritting his teeth, Edes straightened his chest after dodging a thrash, his eyes staring straight at the hill of opponents in front of him. However, the moment he dared to face the enemy, the fear quietly dissipated, and was transformed into the power to drive out the fear. With the sound of metal grinding, he clenched the hilt of his sword and lowered it slightly, assuming a defensive stance waiting for a duel. At this moment, Deerno also drew his shield sword and stood side by side with the captain.

"Stay away, boy!" Eddes pushed him away impatiently, though he didn't want to splash him with cold water. Because of this, he himself almost couldn't dodge and was hit by a heavy punch. Looking at the hammered pits on the ground, cold sweat began to break out under the captain's gloves: it was dangerous.

With this kind of force, it is not difficult to understand how the gates of the Cold Snow Castle were smashed open, and it is said that at that time, Guladan lifted the gate as if he had removed a chicken wing, and slammed it into the air, and smashed an arrow tower at the waist. It's hard to say whether it's true or not, but at that time, even Edus, who was hiding in the underground passage of Cold Snow Castle, heard the earthquake-like thumping sound.

With a roar mixed with wailing, the stone demon threw another punch in the air, and its attention was drawn to the warrior who slammed his shield into the leg from the other side. However, after sweeping his arm but not pinching the soldier, Guladan shook his body restlessly, and suddenly raised his hands and smashed them to the ground.

Before he had time to react, Eders and the others were instantly knocked down by the violent vibration of the ground, and then desperately tried to get up quickly. However, at this moment, the stone demon raised his left leg high and stomped on the floor in a frenzied succession.

As if there had been an earthquake that was constantly bursting with shockwaves, the Ice Children and the elves who tried to sneak up from behind were knocked down again, and there was no room to stand up and resist. His body was in severe pain from the repeated impacts, and Eders gasped and gripped the sword with paranoid dignity, preventing it from leaving the palm of his hand.

After trampling the ground several times, the stone demon roared, and the sorrow and grief were completely lost in the cry. After a frantic high jump, Guladan hit the top of the cave violently and landed with his right fist on the ground, triggering one of the most violent impacts. Several rocks at the top crumbled with a loud bang, smashing into the ground with a mixture of sand.

The ground was smashed into several cracks by the slam and the bodies of the people were tossed up and knocked to the ground by the falling rocks. However, just after Edus's smashed eyes turned black and he briefly lost consciousness, he suddenly felt his body tighten, and the bones all over his body were cracking. The organs were also crowded to the point that they were about to explode, and it was difficult to maintain breathing.

Finally, he woke up from a brief fainting. The sharp pain in his waist and chest was finally found: he was being held in the air by the stone demon with one hand, constantly squeezing hard.
