233 Black Clouds

"What's the Frost Wings?"

After a moment of silence, a bearded fellow looked away from the diamond and broke the silence with a remark that made the faces of many of the Great Lords twitch.

Count Fattas glanced at the man and recognized the bearded man as a military lord, and couldn't help but shake his head.

The so-called military lords, naturally, have nothing to do to farm in the territory, and gather a group of soldiers to go to the battlefield when there is a war, because they don't participate in political affairs, they are generally rude and unliterate, and the things in their heads are no different from those of the frost giants.

Probably not as good as the Frost Giant, who at least knows what the Frost Wings are.

Fattas thought to himself.

All the frost giants of the south of the Great Glacial have fled to other areas, and the daimyo of the frost wings has become an eternal shadow on the heads of these frost giants.

The common people and the Tubaozi nobles did not know the majestic frost wings of the Nanda Glacier, but how could they, the upper echelons of the principality power who controlled the government affairs, not know.

He didn't answer the interest of this earth-bun nobleman, just looked at the diamond engraved with magical words, and his brain raced.

The court mage next to Jade IV answered the military lord's question: "Lord Mordra, the Frost Wings are a white dragon......"

"White Dragon, those winged white-skinned lizards? haha?" The bearded lord laughed, many small lords laughed, many small lords laughed, and the principality officials close to Jade IV stared at them quietly, and Jade IV patted the table lightly:

"Enough laughing?"

The faces of the many lords changed, and their voices gradually faded.

"I can safely say that this white dragon that sent the war letter is probably the biggest trouble the Duchy has ever encountered. Jade IV coughed, "I would like to warn you that he is not the lizard that can be found everywhere in the Great Glaciers. ”

"Your Royal Highness the Grand Duke, please forgive us for being so ignorant, but we can't believe it......" A thin little nobleman stood up: "I've also heard the legend of the Frost Wings, but a white dragon would send such a declaration of war before starting a war? ”

"It's impossible for an ordinary white dragon to take down Zankaik and bring the winter war that has been brewing for years to an end. The court wizard said lightly: "The Northland Mage Alliance can openly and responsibly say here that a large part of what those bards chanted is true, and our spies witnessed that war with their own eyes. ”

"Then why didn't you make it public sooner?" shouted Lord Mordra.

The court wizard shrugged, and Lord Fattas took a sip of the liquor and shook his head secretly.

This kind of thing makes you dirt buns know that there is a fart? This dragon disappeared for more than ten years, and who knew that it would still appear.

The many lower lords in attendance once again began a lively discussion, if Frost Wings was indeed as terrible as the bard sang, then what should the Duchy do against it?

Of course, there are nobles who don't believe in it, and before the war, there is a letter of war, this style is too far from the imaginary white dragon, and after a while, a magical argument was thrown, they thought that there were other forces to capture those sentry posts, and then borrowed the name of the frost wings to set up a suspicious array.

Fatas shrugged as he looked at the diamonds on the floor, and he was incredibly sure that this was the diamond from the Great Ice Cave, and that it was the only place in the entire Northland where such a huge block of diamonds could be mined.

Throwing such a staggering value of a diamond as a war letter, Fattas felt that the message was very complicated, contempt, provocation, ridicule, coupled with aggressiveness and exquisite words, made Fattas have a strange sense of confusion.

"Fattas. ”

The Earl Lord was pondering when he heard the ruling Grand Duke call and hurriedly stood up: "Your Highness." ”

"This matter is mainly provoked by the Alliance, what do you think?"

"Your Highness, the Duchy has also benefited a lot in this matter. Lord Fatas picked up the diamond on the ground, and the light of the lamp shone through the transparent surface of the diamond, as if to remind everyone of the sideways.

"I don't mean to hold anyone accountable, but I just want to remind everyone in the Rank and Column that the Frostwings are a deceptive force that can destroy all of our northern outposts overnight, is extraordinary and malevolent, and the soldiers who have fled say that they have fallen without even seeing the shadow of the enemy. Jade IV knocked on the table: "If the Frost Wings had come in person, the disaster caused might not have been under the Winter War, are you all ready?"

"Your Highness, why don't we consider negotiating peace?" said a civil official suddenly.

"Northerners are not in the habit of surrendering without seeing the enemy. Jade IV said: "One hundred thousand gold and silver, three hundred maidens, whoever he is, even if he is the Lord of the Abyss, is not qualified to put such insulting conditions on me. ”

Jed IV's voice fell, and it immediately aroused the cheers of a northerner.

Count Fatas's brows furrowed deeply: "Your Highness, we need to prepare our army, and we also need to immediately send envoys to inform other countries, if it is an opponent like the Frost Giant King, it is difficult for us to defeat the opponent alone." ”

"The garrison is ready to go, and emergency conscription has begun. The military officer said, bowing his head to the military lords below, "I will leave the rest to you." ”

"Your Highness. A group of northerners let out a wolf howl: "The warriors of the north will peel off the skin of the white lizard!"

Jade IV watched as a group of nobles dispersed and turned to the court mages on the other side: "Eddie, what kind of help will the Northland Mage Alliance provide?"

"The court wizard is always at your service, Your Highness. The middle-aged wizard bowed: "In addition, Master Alted is at home, presumably ready to support at any time." ”

"I don't like the word presumably. Jade IV frowned, and when he saw the middle-aged wizard's slightly changed face, he immediately shook his head: "Of course, I didn't mean to force this master, but the Northland is in danger at this time. ”

"The Alliance understands that we will do everything in our power against Frostwings. ”

"Frost Wings?" said Jade IV, taking a sip of his wine, remembering all the information from the spies over the past few years, dead or alive, and snorted as he swept away the bottle on the table.

Count Fattas stole a glance at Jade IV and felt that the leader seemed to have made up his mind.

It is indeed much easier to pay the Mage Alliance to do things than to agree to the conditions of Frost Wings.

Count Fattas knew that with the population of the principality, if he wanted to loot three hundred virgins, he would get the wrath of the heavens.

But then you can peel off the skin of Frostwings?

As a high-ranking official of the principality, Count Fattas still knows some information about the Northlands, but most of them have only heard of this frost wing, and he is still a little bottomless when he thinks about it himself.

Few people know the details of Frostwings' victory over the Frost Giant King, not even the spies of the Northland Mage Alliance, and everyone generally has no idea about Frostwings' combat effectiveness, but they only know that the bold people who have approached Frostwings' lair are missing.

Fatas was not at all as optimistic as the lower-level military lords of the dirt buns.

He received the Grand Duke's task of assisting in the conscription, and was busy until dawn the next day before returning home.

The mistress of the mansion, when she saw the return of Fattas, her expression was a little worried:

"Master, are you back? What's going on outside? Why are all the troops dispatched?"

"Hurry into the secret passage with the children. Fattas took a breath: "Bring enough money and supplies, this time something big is wrong." ”

The hostess didn't have time to ask more, nodded again and again, and then walked to the back.

Fattas looked left and right and found the armor he hadn't worn in a long time, the bust looked surprisingly comical on his fat frame, which didn't reassure him.

The city is also in a state of boiling, and the Northland has a tradition of all the people being soldiers, begging for a living on the ice field, and fighting is not a specialty of a certain person or a certain person, but a national characteristic.

Count Fatas walked through the streets with the conscription team, watching the team get bigger and bigger, walking through a people's alley, and suddenly his heart moved: "How old is Gilit's son this year?"

"Returning to the master, fourteen years old. Said the sheriff.

"Fourteen years old, only one year away from the conscription period? Let's count it as 15 years old, now the city is a time of crisis, and it needs everyone's efforts. A faint malice appeared on Fattas's face.

"But my lord, little Gilret, he's a dumb ......," the sheriff asked, a little confused, "as if he could be exempted from ......."

"It's not that he's deaf or blind, he just needs to do what he's told. Fattas glared at the sheriff: "You can't go into battle and kill the enemy." Wouldn't it be possible to carry some military supplies in the back?"

"Yes, sir. ”

The sheriff did as Count Fattas said, and Fattas had a strange smile on his face, and in a short time screams rang out in the alley.

As Fattas walked over, he saw a young girl snatching a skinny boy with the sheriff.

"No, sheriff, you can't take him away. According to the rules, he is exempt from military service!"

"This is the order of Lord Fatas, and now that a strong enemy is coming, every citizen should do their part. ”

The girl looked to be sixteen years old at most, but her size was too foul, and her skin was a light brown that was very different from ordinary people, and her white curly hair was cut short.

MDFK, according to the conditions of Frost Wings, wouldn't this little girl also be counted among virgins?

Thinking of Frost Wings, Count Fattas remembered the Untouchable Mine Manager, and when Frost Wings arrived, probably the Windwhisperer Alliance and the Untouchable Miner were dead.

A lust made the evil fire in his heart burn brightly, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

He is not a rule-abiding person, his sense of responsibility and love are limited, and at this time, evil is born in guts, so he is ready to use power for personal gain.

Frost Wings didn't know when to come, so let's do this little girl who has been coveted for a long time first.

"Lord Fatas, do you mean that rude old pervert?" the girl was still arguing with the sheriff, "Sheriff, you're doing bad things for him." ”

"This ......," the sheriff said to the sweat on his forehead.

"Who do you say is doing bad things?" Fattas's fat body appeared behind the girl, and grabbed her hair, the fat man's eyes were scarlet, revealing an evil fire: "Little girl, are you blocking our righteous recruitment work?!"

"Master Fatas, your evil desires are clearly written on your face, and I said I had no interest in you. The girl's appearance is really very beautiful, her charming eyes have a strange charm power, but her expression is very serious: "Now that the city is in crisis, as a minister, you are not good at recruiting soldiers, and you are doing things to bully men and women here, don't you feel ashamed?"

"Hmph, I've heard that a well-spoken little girl usually has a soft mouth. Count Fattas snorted in annoyance and pulled the girl's hair hard: "I can't wait to try it." ”

There was a hint of anger in the girl's amber eyes, but she still maintained a serious expression.

"Ahhh

Count Fatas groaned and called the guards loudly: "They block the conscription, arrest them immediately!"

"Let's go!" the girl grabbed the little boy and ran down the alley, several soldiers stopped him, the girl suddenly smiled charmingly, and these soldiers lost their minds for a while, as if they had been caught by some spell, and they lost their traces after a while.

But after all, he was young and weak, and chased him to the end of the alley, and the two sisters and brothers were blocked by a group of soldiers, and Master Fattas slowly paced over and laughed: "Little girl, where do you want to escape?"

"You will be punished, Lord Fatas. The girl glared fiercely at the fat-headed, big-eared earl.

"Retribution?, what is there to repay me?!" Count Fattath laughed, "I'll wait for him!"

The girl snorted, the boy gritted his teeth, and suddenly, from somewhere, a strange sound of music came, the tone was gentle, but at the end of a melody there was a hint of agitation.

It's like the opening of a grand opera.

"Which theater is still singing at this time?" said Count Fattas, angrily, "Is there a new theater nearby?"

The sheriff shook his head blankly, his eyes aimlessly searching for the source of the voice.
