When the team hit the road, the wind and snow were not so heavy, but it was only compared to the worst days.

Not to mention the academy mercenaries, even the magicians also wrapped scarves around their faces, revealing only their eyes. For the mage's body, it doesn't matter if it's minus 10 degrees, it will feel colder in its twenties, and after minus 30 degrees, it will be like ordinary people, hoping to keep warm.

The temperature in the snowstorm was about minus 40 degrees, which was much higher than usual.

At this temperature, magicians can also get frostbitten unless they use magic to protect themselves.

However, saving mana is an important indicator during the trial process, and no one wants their rating to drop. Everybody wrapped themselves tightly.

No one has ever cast a spell out of it, lest he be ashamed.

Xia He and Qiu Xuanji didn't feel that the Daoist's true qi naturally protected their bodies, and such a temperature only made them feel cold, but it was not likely to cause harm.

The Goths' march was quite rigorous, with a core of a thousand-strong team of fifty magicians. Then let a thousand men march in the rear, eight hundred in the front, and two hundred in ten squads to explore the way in front.

In fact, the front and rear teams also have separate manpower to be responsible for monitoring the left and right.

Xia He's team has a lot of people, although there are only ninety-two students, but the nine teams are equipped with more than 20 teachers and professors, plus more than 200 academy mercenaries, and the strength is very strong.

Those ninety great magician-level students alone were enough to be worth an army of several thousand people.

The Goths let Xia He's team follow the Chinese army.

His team has its own commander, he is just the commander, and he doesn't have to do everything himself, so he walks side by side with Xia He. He specially prepared a demon deer for Xia He.

This team, basically all riding demon deer, is very luxurious, but the spare mount is still a reindeer.

The soldiers of the Chinese army, three hundred of whom were heavily armed, wore high-grade enchanted armor. These three hundred people are the elite of the entire army, and the equipment is the best.

The rest of the people were wearing cotton armor and metal armor in the car. Wear it when you're ready to fight. Even the demon deer is no exception, and the covering armor is not worn.

Because the soldier's physical strength must be maintained, the weight of ordinary enchanted armor is not light.

The kind of core elite is not realistic for everyone to wear.

Xia He couldn't help but miss the scientific and technological equipment of the Shenzhou Empire, which was characterized by being cheap and could be manufactured in batches. But that requires a strong industrial system, in comparison, the alchemy factory in this world is still the level of a handicraft workshop for Shen Zhou.

"Goth, the power in the hands of His Royal Highness the County King is not much, send 10,000 people, what about the fortress?"

Xia He knew that the Lilac County King intended to restart at least two more fortresses. I didn't understand it before, but now that the Northland is so lively, he understands.

"The Empire has always replenished the forts, recruiting scattered soldiers in the Northlands. ”

It turned out that this was the case, Xia He knew that in the rebellion of the nobles in the Northland, many soldiers were involuntarily, and after being dispersed, they did not even dare to return home for fear of being pursued by the empire.

The empire absolves them of their sins and recruits them back, which is a ready-made force, much easier than another training.

"How many people are there over there at Fort Woods?"

"It's probably more than 200,000, not counting the soldiers that the county king brought over before. These will basically put the other two restarted strongholds. ”

"Intelligence ...... the Underworld"

"I don't know about this, my authority is on the county king's side, not as high as you. "Goth pushed cleanly. When he said this, he made it clear that he wouldn't tell Xia He. Because his status is not high, but he is a close confidant of the king of Lilac County, many things, this kind of staff like a person, will definitely know.

Xia He was not angry, if his subordinates casually leaked the information, he would also cut people.

He asked, just to make sure that the information of the Lilac County King was about the underground world.

Now it seems that the king of Lilac County is not stupid, he must have laid out and obtained a lot of information.

If he wanted it, the goths didn't have the right to tell him, so he could only go back to the fortress and ask in person.

"Before, I sensed that more than a dozen legends were heading north, and they were going to the temple. ”

Goth was embarrassed and said: "Yes, but this is the behavior of the imperial capital, it has nothing to do with the fortress, I just heard that there is a legendary defection ......"

"Defection? As long as the legend doesn't attack the Empire, he can't talk about rebellion, so how can he escape? Goth, I don't like to hear what you say. Xia He said something unpleasant to his face, and Goth really didn't dare to fight back.

"Who is the one who fled? Xia He used a commanding tone this time, Goth's heart was unhappy, but he suddenly felt a killing intent descending on his body, he didn't know where he said the wrong thing, offended the blood mage, and he was a little frightened in his heart.

The Blood Mage has killed the Legend, and dealing with him is the same as killing a chicken.

"Master Hui is the dean of Tokai Academy. ”

"Tokai Gakuin ......"

"It's a third-level college, although it's relatively old, but it hasn't developed, and it only relies on a dean to sit in charge, it's a pity. ”

"Surely you don't know what happened?"

"Legendary things, how can you say things to people like us. The tone in which the goth spoke was a little impulsive. Who did he recruit and provoke whom?

Xia He nodded slowly on his mount and said, "The person chasing him is the royal mage group of the royal family." ”

"Yes. ”

Xia Hexin said, this is really luxurious to the extreme, twelve legends, to hunt down one legend. He admired the dean of Donghai Academy a little, and after he advanced to the legend, he might not be able to beat these twelve guys.

However, he has helpers, and after advancing to the Legend, it is impossible for the Royal Mage Regiment to hunt down and kill him so easily.

What is the Emperor going to do, to control all the academies of the empire?

But what is the use of these small academies, they can't compare to the six first-level magic academies in the House of Commons. Maybe not even one.

Now that he is acting as the principal, won't it also be part of the emperor's layout, right?

"Marquis, what else do you want to know?"

"Where will that dean of Tokai Academy go?"

"The remains of the Griffin Temple, there is a spatial passage over there, and you can go to another world. His half-plane has long been locked and he doesn't dare to go back. ”

Xia Hedao: "That's none of our business?

Goth couldn't laugh or cry, it turned out that Asra cared about this.

"Probably not, the underworld ......" Goth stopped talking, he didn't want to say too much, Fang Cai was stimulated by Xia He's murderous aura, and he was a little afraid.

"If you say no, you don't have it. Xia He looked disappreciative, but he felt that there were indeed not many legendary powerhouses in the underground world.

At least not on the isolated island, otherwise the dwarves wouldn't have taken refuge in themselves.

Even if the empire plans to invade the underground world, it will not use too many legends, and the dispatch of legends is to prevent the existence of any legendary creatures in the underground world.

Therefore, for a while, the empire cannot penetrate the underground world, and its own dungeons and dwarves' earth cities are safe.

If the empire successfully invades and occupies most of the underground world, he can completely expand his territory in the name of a powerful lord, and treat the isolated island as his own territory and open it to the public.

The difference with the current situation is only a question of openness and non-disclosure, and there is no question of legitimacy.

No one said that you weren't allowed to attack the underworld, right?

But in this case, the emperor would not be at ease with himself, or he would not have been at ease in the first place, otherwise he would not have called Ovilla to the imperial capital. How could a strong man like Juno III do meaningless things?

Xia He stopped mentioning these things and continued to chat with Goth.

Xia He asked about the equipment of these soldiers, and because it was not a secret, Goth explained to Xia He: "The soldiers of the county king are not the same as those of the empire. Most of the royal family is like this, the army under them is strange, and there are all kinds of configurations, and now the soldiers I bring are good on the side of the county king, but they are not the core team. ”

"I know this, the core team must be on the side of the fortress, the fortress is very important to him. ”

"Yes, apart from the Half-Elf Empire, the fortress is probably the most important thing in the Empire. Goth inadvertently said something that Xia He didn't even know.

Xia He pretended to be very plain and said, "How many fortresses does the empire have on the ice field?"

"When the Frost Giants were at their strongest, there should have been hundreds of strongholds. After the Frost Giants perished, these things were too expensive, so they were abandoned one by one. ”

Xia Hexin said that these more than 100 fortresses are definitely not aimed at the frost giants, and it is estimated that there are secrets in the ice field and the extreme north, and they don't know.

The underworld, the Empire will certainly not be ignorant all the time.

However, in the information of the royal family, these things are vague. What Gothic said is not much different from what is recorded. If the king of the county wants to restart the fortress, it must be the emperor's order, he himself doesn't have so much money and not so many people.

However, the power of the underworld is simply not enough to pose a threat to the empire, and although the dwarves are good craftsmen, they are not good warriors. In comparison, it is still the Half-Elf Empire that is more difficult to deal with.

Griffin Temple, Spatial Passage, Legendary Defection......

Xia He felt that he couldn't grasp the point at all, but it didn't matter, as long as he had a good relationship with the Lilac County King, he would be able to get real information sooner or later.

Goth unconsciously talked a lot to Xia He, and he didn't even notice that his emotions fluctuated a little abnormally.

A flash of fire rose into the sky and turned into a symbol in the air.

Goth frowned, and said to Xia Hedao: "Lord Marquis, there is an enemy in front of you, and there is no way to dodge." ”

"What enemy?"

"In this weather, magic signals can't deliver too much news, listen to my orders, everyone, put on armor, and prepare for battle!"

Suddenly, the gothic momentum changed, there was indifference and excitement in his demeanor, and the two contradictory emotions were intertwined, looking weird and unpredictable.
