Chapter VIII Frey 8

Frey had to admit that in an age where the distinction between warrior, mage, merchant, and peasant was so clear, Edney was almost omnipotent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Her skills that she didn't know where to learn -- like baking truffle biscuits that filled the Ice's Castle with aroma and making the chef feel ashamed of the chef in the room, or singing a song at a banquet that would make the entertainer ashamed of himself, and of course the work of men like fishing and hunting -- always caught Frey's eye. So when the military doctor was busy, Edney also temporarily played the role of personal nurse.

"Does it still hurt?" Edney gently bandaged and patted Frey's bare shoulder. Although she was cautious in her hands, her tone revealed dissatisfaction. "I told you a long time ago that you can't take the initiative to attack, the Ice Castle has endless supplies, and we can wait comfortably inside for them to eat dry food and grass, and take the initiative to retreat. ”

"No, you don't understand at all. Frey gloomily walked up to the window, lifted the thick silk curtains and looked out of the window, where he could see the "garden" surrounded by a promenade, which the first lords of Ice's End tried to make a royal garden-like courtyard, but eventually gave up because they could not feed the flowers. "The empire is about to usher in winter, and when the blizzard sweeps across the entire continent, the army of Ice's Castle is the strongest fighting force on the continent. The strength of the enemy was beyond my expectations, and I can't imagine what other cities would have suffered if they hadn't fought their way out. ”

"You want to rush out and rescue the others?" Edney combed her hair, the elephant bone comb sliding down her long hair to the ends, tangled in the strands.

"I am obligated to assist the other lords in defending the territory of the Empire. ”

"You're no match for them. Something is already obvious, maybe you don't care about the combat strength of the enemy army, because you are far above them. But you can't deny the fact that you were defeated twice in a row by enemy generals, and they are smarter than you. ”

"I found out," Frey sighed and turned to look at Idney's back, she was sitting on the edge of the bed, her waist-length hair almost covering her slender body, "The barbarians out there are more capable of fighting alone than the cavalry of Icebreath, and they deliberately lured me away from the battlefield......"

"It's you who have nothing to do with them. Edney interrupted Frey firmly.

"Well, I'm the stupid fool. They are better at fighting in cold weather than the people of the Snow Land. ”

"I've warned you about that a long time ago. ”

"Can't you stop interrupting me?" Frey said, a little annoyed, in exchange for a long silence from Edney. "The situation is dangerous, and if no one informs the other lords, I can guarantee that in less than a month in winter, the entire western frontier of the empire will fall. ”

"Except for Ice's Breath. "Can't you just stay here honestly, you see, you can't beat them, and the armies of the other lords have no chance of winning in the winter, even if you rush out to warn them." ”

"But I should at least try. Frey said resolutely, and Idney could almost hear his teeth cluck as he spoke.
