"Your letter, my lord. With a knock on the door, Edus's eager voice came.

"Come in. Looking at Elton, who was standing straight, Mace put down the papers in his hand.

As soon as the words fell, the door was immediately pushed open. The anxious captain walked into the door quickly, and almost knocked over Denor, who was gasping for breath next to him: "It's a big deal, my lord!

"Stop. The city lord frowned: "I haven't even breathed, don't speak yet." You both sit and rest for a while -- where did you come from, so embarrassed?"

"Uh...... I'm sorry. Slamming his butt on the chair, Eders, who was covered in sweat, blushed: "I rode a horse from the central barracks, and then ran all the way to your ......."

Hearing this, Mace felt a little tired: if nothing else, the mere walk up the steps to the high ground was tiring enough.

"We got a letter from the letter crow cage in the central barracks, and as soon as we read it, we rushed here. Eders touched his hand to his coat, and his face changed: "Huh, where did you go?"

"Didn't you let me go here, Captain?" De Nor reminded in a whisper, pulling out his envelope and placing it on the table, "Take off your coat first? ”

"The room is really warm, and the stove is blazing. Eders wiped his sweat and took off his coat: "Take a look, this is an urgent letter from Beihaiwang." The crow flew for most of the night, and arrived at eight o'clock this morning. ”

It was indeed sent by the Beihai Lookout Post. Looking at the fire paint pattern on the front of the envelope, which symbolized the Beihai Lookout Post, the lord felt a little uncomfortable: Eders had just said something big, and most of the letter was about the war.

At worst, the Black Ice has already attacked there...... Secretly praying to the dragon god in the bottom of his heart, Mace grabbed the envelope and flipped it to the back: the letter had been opened from behind.

With a nervous and nervous feeling, the lord pulled out the letter and unfolded it. After reading the above, Mace felt a wave of anger: Just last night, the Ice Rock launched a massive assault on our North Sea Lookout Post. As it was a night attack without warning, the sentinels did not react in time. In just one night, our casualties amounted to 239.

These bastards!Slapping the letter on the table, Mace gritted his teeth in annoyance: What's wrong with the heads of those Frost Children?! At the moment of the great enemy, they are still attacking the outpost! This kind of war is okay in peacetime, but our current enemy should be the Dark Glacier!

It was because they felt that the enemy would follow the ancient tradition of truce when the black ice attacked, that the sentinels of Beihaiwang let down their vigilance and let them take advantage of the loophole...... A burst of blood rushed to his head, and Mace felt a wave of vertigo: I was really an idiot, I was planning to negotiate with Ice Rock City just now, seeking a formal alliance. Even the naïve even chose the location of the negotiation, which was in Beihaiwang Town. However, what happened last night has completely shattered the last possibility of negotiations.

The signal for another declaration of war...... Staring at the letter, the lord clenched his left fist: a good hand to take advantage of the danger of others.

Remembering the feud with Icerock, Mace couldn't suppress his desire for revenge: Neverwinter couldn't show weakness either!

However, the urge only lasted about two seconds, and he took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his anger: no, it would be unwise to go to war...... Our forces have been lost too much, and we don't have enough viability. Once a war starts, the Son of Ice, who has been greatly injured, may not have much chance of winning. Moreover, the war between the two cities will inevitably divide the forces against the Corrupt. In this way, in the end, it can only be the Ice City that cheapens the Dark Glacier. The Black Ice Grim Reaper only needs to watch the play from the sidelines to enjoy the victory.

Now you have to be patient...... Mace closed his eyes and felt a phantom pain from an old wound in his chest: but he must not remain silent. The Children of Frost must be given some color to see and launch the necessary counterattack. Allowing the enemy to gain an inch will only make them look down on Eternal Winterfell;

"The enemy suffered almost no casualties. Clenching the letter, the angry Mace wrinkled it with too much force: "Captain Edus...... How many troops are there in the North Sea Outpost and Eternal Winter City? I want the exact number, counting each head. ”

"Wait, I've got a list. Eders had taken off his helmet at some point, and was now busy turning through his trouser pockets: "I remember putting it here...... Strange, why is it gone?"

"That...... Didn't you leave me here? Taking out a yellowed piece of paper, Deenor cautiously reminded the captain: "You seem to be getting more and more forgetful lately, is it okay?"

"What? You actually say that I am forgetful because my hair is getting less and my hairline is receding?" Edus's expression was extremely annoyed, "You are getting bolder, Denor! How dare you talk to your captain like that?"

"I ...... I didn't. The little guard showed an extremely aggrieved expression: "Captain, you said it yourself." ”

"Alright, show me it. Grabbing the piece of paper, Eders touched his head unhappily. In Mays's opinion, this guy does seem to have a lot less hair. If this progress continues, I am afraid that in another year or two, I will be completely bald.

"Counting the recruits who just enlisted in the army in the past two days...... The number of soldiers in Neverwinter barely managed to maintain at two thousand two hundred and forty-eight. Speaking of this, Eders coughed, "Of course, it's basically some rookie eggs. As for the Beihai Lookout Post, there are still 581 people left after removing last night's casualties. ”

"What about the Ice Dragon Valley and the West God Wood Forest?" Writing down the numbers in his notebook, Mace fell into deep thought.

"There are two hundred and thirty-four garrisons in the Ice Dragon Valley, and one hundred and ninety-seven at the Shenmu Forest outpost. Pinching the piece of paper, Eders tapped his helmet: "Speaking of which...... Your Majesty, do you know? The guests had already set off for the Shenmu Forest outpost. ”

"Well, the butler has already told me. After a moment of silence, the lord buckled his pen cap: "They want to find the underground ruins of Eternal Winter...... Mr. Seresa seemed to think it was right under the Bachelor's Tower. To be honest, I wasn't surprised at all when I discovered the secret passage in Snowcastle. ”

"Can that guy be serious?" Eddes looked dissatisfied, "It's a mad dog." ”

"You seem to have a lot of prejudice against him. Mace sighed: "He helped us a lot, and that's why he was assassinated many times." I don't ask you to change your opinion of him, but try to be nice when communicating with him. ”

"Understood. Edus's expression was extremely reluctant: "I try my best." ”

"How can it take them a few days to get to the Shenmu Forest outpost......" After thinking carefully for a while, Mace asked, "I remember that you also sent someone to the Ice Dragon Valley outpost this morning, right?"

"That's right. Six people, four of whom are snow ravens (the elite of the sentinels). Eders looked worried and kept knocking on his helmet: "Miss Aya, ...... Please, I'll go find the visa officer who gave Lusha the visa. There seems to be something to ask about the curse of loneliness. In addition, regarding the North Sea Look-"

"Go find him, and bring me here. Mace took a deep breath and made up his mind: "As for Beihaiwang...... Give me orders, Edus. Gather all the high-ranking Legion Commanders and Strategists to meet the Council of Ice at three o'clock this afternoon at the Council Chamber of Snowcastle. ”
