Chapter 11: Miloca 9
Miloka felt his breathing harder and began to cough violently, tears rolling in his eyes, interfering with his vision. He could only dimly see Frey's gaze gradually change from anger to gratitude www.biquge.info but he could not hear the words coming from Frey's lips—the noise outside the door, the neighing of horses and iron hooves, the shouts and gallops of soldiers, and the clash of metal and the clash of swords mingled to swallow Frey's faint voice.
The conflict dragged on for a while, and when calm returned to the outside of the abandoned shop, a faint breath Milorka heard swift and powerful footsteps approaching her, and a warm current rushed into her body.
"Dear Duke Frey, my name is Solanya, and I am the adjutant of General Zorge, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Capital's reinforcements. It's an honor to help you out of this difficult situation. The young sword-wielder bowed slightly to Frey, his eyes still glancing at Miloka on the ground.
Frey returned the salute politely, pointing to Milorka and saying, "Thank you for your timely rescue." This valiant soldier has made a remarkable contribution to the Empire, and I hope that you will do everything in your power to heal his injuries. ”
"Don't worry, sir. I have given him basic treatment, and when he joins up with the larger army, he will be transferred to the medical team, and he will be cured quickly. ”
"It's the third time. Thank you, Solan. Miloka struggled to squeeze the words out of her mouth.
After Frey's successful escape from prison, the stalemate battle for Ice's Breath finally took a turn for the better. First of all, the rebels had frequent civil strife, and the little lords of the Snow Realm, who had bowed to Lavalen under the threat of force, saw that they had reached the end of their crossbows, and they defected one after another and returned to Frey's banner. Benson's death devastated the army of Fort Ooyu, and the Snow Rebels who advocated the execution of Frey lost their backbone, and their combat effectiveness was no longer worth mentioning. On the other hand, Frey's rescue boosted the morale of the reinforcements, and despite the unknown whereabouts of the archmage Aleister, the Sixth Corps was still invincible under the joint leadership of Zorg and Frey. With civil strife and external troubles, Lavalen had to abandon the Frozen Fort completely and lead important rebel figures to abscond overnight. The rebels who failed to escape in time were all reduced to Zog's prisoners. Frey's return to the throne of the city soon organized a grand celebration, and Miloka unexpectedly received an invitation to sit to Frey's left under the title of "the most reliable soldier" at the banquet.
The ballroom is not the largest in Ice's End, but it is the most luxurious of the materials. The tall ceiling of more than eight yards was brightly lit, and in the middle of the spacious hall was a huge dining table that could seat fifteen people at a time, and the sterling silver cutlery was the most worthless thing in the room. During the reign of the elder Escud, there was even a reception for the now-gray-haired Emperor Reas, who sat in the place of Frey today, drinking and chatting with his guests.
In addition to Miloca, there were several unexpected guests at the banquet - Titch "Blackbeard", Cynthia "Grey Shrike", and the pirate brothers Osfried and Olawald of the Permafrost. They were confiscated of their weapons and sat in the middle of the long table, sandwiched between the sword-bearers and the officers of the Sixth Corps. Frey had wanted to invite Venal, who had twice thwarted him, but his men were unable to find his body, only to find the poisoned fire in the eastern winch room of the city gate.
