"Sister Rose, what's wrong with you?"

Nicole saw Rose suddenly freeze and asked her in confusion.

"Nicole, I know why the lord is under martial law in the whole city, because the threat of this attack is not the Sea Clan, but the Monster Valley!"

"Monster Valley?"

Nicole was also very surprised to hear Rose's answer, because it was already the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, but there was still a long time before the severe cold of winter, and there was almost no precedent for the attack of monsters in history to choose to attack at such a time.

And last winter's tentative attack of the Ice Devil, it is said that Archmage Gandalf also caused a lot of damage to the Ice Devil, and it stands to reason that they would not choose to make such a risky move, which is unreasonable no matter how you look at it.

"That's right, it's the Valley of Monsters, and only the threat of the Ice Demon will cause the Lord to be so concerned and vigilant. ”

As she spoke, Rose remembered the scene when she followed the lord to the imperial capital, and at that time, she seemed to have heard that there was a hell gate leading to the hell world in the monster valley area of Storm Castle. But at that time, Rose was just a personal bodyguard, and she was too embarrassed to ask too much about things.

Combined with the performance of the Lord Lord today, Rose is almost 100% sure that the biggest crisis in Storm Castle this time is the Gates of Hell!

Thinking of the imminent danger of the lord, Rose could not sit still any longer, and said to Nicole, "Nicole, you are the oldest in this room, and if I am gone, remember to take care of my sister." ”

"Sister Rose, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to protect my lord!"

When Rose said this, her eyes were full of determination. This time the Ice Demon is menacing, and according to the Ice Demon's raid ability, it is very likely to attack the walls of Storm Keep, so Duke will face a threat.

It's not that Rose doesn't believe in the ability of the Storm Guard, but except for high-level swordsmen with sword energy such as Allen and Kassel, ordinary Storm Army Guards, even if they have good swordsmanship and strict training, may not be able to guarantee the safety of the Lord when facing the assassination of the Ice Demon.

And with Rose's special spatial teleportation ability, it is almost guaranteed to defuse some deadly assassinations. So Rose decided that at this time, she must go to the lord's side to ensure her safety.

Nicole heard Rose say that she was going to defend the lord, and she didn't have any resistance on her face, but nodded towards Rose with a firm face and replied, "I understand Sister Rose, you go and protect the lord!"

After instructing Nicole, Rose ran in the direction of the castle's main castle where Duke lived. According to Rose's understanding of Duke, the lord must be in the conference room or study at this time, deploying the entire defense plan of Stormcastle.

However, when Rose came to the door of the conference room, she saw that there were already a group of people standing inside, and some of them were very familiar to Rose, because they were all witches hidden by the Dark Witch Society in the territory of the French Empire, and the witch leader, that is, the Great Witch Hera, also appeared in the conference hall at this time.

The group of people in the chamber was exactly when Duke went to the imperial capital before, and Gandalf, along with President Dumbledore, promised Duke that they would send witches and a group of dark mages to Storm Castle.

At that time, Duke was in a hurry to come back, and it was impossible for the witches to stay in such a dangerous situation as the imperial capital, so at that time, Duke could only take the first step, Hera went to the witches' hiding place and led them to the Storm Castle.

And because of the Storm Wagon's huge advantage over long distances, Duke arrived at Storm Castle many days earlier than Hera. It's just that Duke didn't expect such a coincidence, just as he was about to close the gates of Storm Castle, Hera led the witches and dark mages of the Dark Witch Society to Storm Castle, and all of them had this scene in front of Rose's eyes.

"Duke, when I entered the city just now, I almost saw that the whole city of Stormfort was under martial law, what happened?"

Hera asked Duke in confusion, she didn't expect that she was just a little late, and Stormcastle would face such a big change. Along the way, she saw a large number of storm wagons carrying the wounded in, and also saw the migration of the entire dwarven tribe on the way, preparing to enter the storm castle.

Even Hera saw that the workers of the hydroelectric factory had all returned to Storm Fort, theoretically speaking, unless it was a desperate situation, it was impossible for Duke to give up the hydraulic factory, what happened, in a short period of time, Storm Castle had reached a desperate situation?

In the face of Hera's inquiry, Duke's face was also very solemn at this time, and with the ice demon likely to appear, there was no need to hide the news at this time, so Duke told Hera directly.

"Hera, we fought a big battle with the Sea Clan of the Shark Tribe just now, and the Storm Army suffered heavy casualties. At the same time, I received an alert from the patrol of the War Sheep Knights, and the ice demons in the Monster Valley have been massively assembled, numbering at least a few thousand. And not only the Ice Demon, but also the Sentinel Rider also found the figure of the hellish creature ghoul in the Monster Valley, and there are quite a few of them. So now Storm Castle is facing the most critical moment, and even whether the entire Storm Castle can exist depends on the outcome of this battle. ”

Hearing Duke say this, even if Hera had experienced a lot of things, she looked at Duke with a surprised face at this moment, she didn't expect the situation to be so bad at all.

Standing outside the door, Rose was also shocked, she had guessed that it should have something to do with the Ice Demon, but she didn't expect it to be so serious, no wonder the Lord even gave up the water power factory.

"And Gandalf previously unleashed a large magic spell with his own power in order to resist the Sea Clan's onslaught, and now he is in a period of weakness when his magic power is exhausted. Therefore, the previous way of relying on magic to force back the ice demon does not exist, and only the Storm Army soldiers can fight bloodily!"

When Duke said this, he also had a broken attitude, after all, at this moment, the only thing he could rely on was the sword in the hands of the Storm Army soldiers!

After listening to what Duke said, Hera's face was also solemn, she looked at Duke and hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Although Gandalf has fallen into a period of magic exhaustion, the witches and dark mages I brought today can still use magic. It's just that you also know that witches' magical abilities rely on talent, so they are not skilled in the use of spells, and the effect may be greatly reduced. ”

"But I'll find a way to use the combined magic array as much as possible to give full play to their magic potential, and see if I can resist the attack of the ice demon!"
