It looks like everyone has been evacuated...... Standing on the walls of the Eternal Winter Outpost, Odys sighed and looked at the courtyard behind him: it was crowded with ice rock people, occupying almost half of the ground.

"Lord Odyss?" A man's voice sounded from behind him, interrupting the Legion's musings, "I heard you have something to look for us?"

"That's right. Since it had only been given the order not long ago, Odys was surprised by the speed of the two and turned around. Looking at the man in full guard uniform and the blonde girl in a light blue winter coat in front of him, Odyssey cleared his throat and slowed his expression: "Under Odys Filcart." What about the names of the two of you?"

"I—I'm Bernie Millett, the acquirer. Just call me Bernie, sir. Seemingly a little nervous, the gray-haired soldier in front of him looked downward, not daring to look directly at Odys. Pulling the girl looking around, her attention drifting to her head, Bernie said quickly, "This is Miss Killisa Hill, who often comes to sell us tea. You can call her Lisa, too. ”

These two people seem to have a good relationship...... Thinking that they were very much like a couple, Odenes still couldn't help but ask for verification: "So, Mr. Bernie and Miss Qilisa - you were the first to rush into the control room, right? ”

"There's nothing special to say......" Bernie's tone was a little embarrassed. After retelling the whole incident, he said with great reproach: "If I had moved quickly, I would have stopped him from jamming the gears with his sword." ”

"Don't blame yourself, you've done a great job. I thought you two must have died inside, but the enemy is just a clone. Sighing, Odysse was silent for a moment, muttering to himself: What the hell is going on? There is a clone in our soldiers, so where is his deity now? Since Bernie claims to have never seen the clone, that person must be my subordinate.

If replicators are distinguished by whether they can turn into black smoke after death, there are two types. However, judging from the fact that Mr. Celesya was attacked by his own clones, the copied ones did not necessarily have to be frozen in black ice...... The more he thought about it, the more he struggled, and Odys was no longer sure if he could rely on counting the dead to find out who the clones were: most likely, the copied people themselves did not know that they had been copied. However, this is very unlikely: the clones were almost certainly created in advance to replace the deities, otherwise the loopholes would be too large and easy to detect.

If the clones had been placed in the army I had brought from the central barracks in advance, when would the enemy have moved? A quick glance at the recent itinerary in his mind, Odysse immediately came up with two of the most plausible possibilities: on the night of the enemy's invasion of Cold Snow Castle and on his way to Beihaiwang. The former is far more likely than the latter - after all, on the way to Beihaiwang, there are only two camps in the cave that could give the Black Ice Mage a chance. But the warriors were huddled together to rest, and even the transshapers had a hard time approaching without being detected.

Anyway, tomorrow send someone to check on the two caves where we camped. Whether there are any corpses frozen by black ice, we will know when the time comes...... Still a little afraid, Odys ordered the herald beside him to send a few more guards to the control room to prevent a repeat of the same mistake.

"You two have been very brave, and you have both shown the courage of the Children of Ice. Looking at the two of them approvingly, Odyssey set his eyes on Qi Lisa: "But this operation can't put a non-combatant in danger, let alone a woman, Bernie, you are responsible for protecting her and taking Qi Lisa to the warehouse to rest." I remember that your original room was there. ”

"My lord, I'll help as I did before—" As soon as Killisa protested eagerly, Bernie covered her mouth and pulled her in front of her. Smiling awkwardly, Bernie leaned close to Lisa's ear and whispered something before letting go of his hand and saying, "Sir, if it's okay, we'll go down first." ”

"Let's go. Nodding, Odysse turned around and sighed. Qi Lisha's protest could still be faintly heard in his ears, and the Legion Commander narrowed his eyes and stared directly at the wind and snow blowing in front of him. The snow and fog in the distance grew heavier and heavier, and it was gradually impossible to see the empty ice rock outpost. The sudden truce order annoyed many as expected, and they all found it hard to believe that the Corruptor was indeed marching here. The verdict on the outcome of the war is now irrelevant - nothing is said if it does not stop the corrupt.

Vicol can be trusted, so in terms of time, the enemy army will arrive here in just over an hour...... Secretly glad that the snow crow had brought such vital information, Odes looked at the rows of soldiers waiting on the city wall, thinking nervously about the battle situation.

The number of people has just been counted, and there are still 597 of our soldiers alive, and the strength of the Children of Frost is still more than 1,700. If more than 2,000 people were to defend an outpost together, they should be able to withstand the onslaught of 6,000 corrupters. Moreover, the Snow Ravens found that they did not even have siege weapons - of course, the possibility that the enemy had brought siege equipment from the other direction could not be ruled out.

If the enemy discovers that we have gathered in a post to defend us, will the corruptors who have disrupted their plans still attack?, hoping that the enemy would withdraw and leave time for the two cities to breathe, Odys gritted his teeth - the corruptors could simply lay siege and starve us to death at the outpost.

Thinking about whether to send a message to Eternal Winter to bring rescue troops, Odysse was undecided: if Mace sent reinforcements to relieve the siege, he might have fallen for the enemy's plan. Because the Corruptor may have taken advantage of the emptiness of Eternal Winter after the reinforcements left the city, and they took advantage of the weakness to invade the entire city and turn all the inhabitants into the Corruptors. It would be completely impossible to recapture it - and sooner or later the ruins that might exist beneath Winterfell would be discovered, and once the barrier was closed, there would be no way to stop the spread of black ice.

Just a moment after Odys weighed the pros and cons and decided not to ask for reinforcements, the herald's footsteps gradually approached, and finally stopped beside Odyss, and reported, "My lord, the deployment of troops in the control room has been completed. In addition, Vicol Snowray asked me to ask you to go to Beihaiwang to procure some supplies, and has already applied for Eurasian currency from the quartermaster using the Snowraven privilege. ”

"Understood. Frowning, Odyssey was a little puzzled when he heard this: At this juncture, what supplies is he going to procure?!
