Chapter 649: Dusk and Sunset
At dusk, the ice field has a magnificent beauty, and under the curtain of snow, the sunset gradually sinks into the western horizon, and the dark and hazy sky appears with magnificent auroras, like a dream.
Since the 14th year of the Fire Calendar, the Frozen Fortress has guarded the Kingdom of Dogurand for 510 years, and generations of generals have dedicated their lives to it.
Now, Larsen Van Dogoulland, the 17th general of the Frozen Fortress, stands at the top of the massive wall, looking out over the vast ice fields to the north.
Larsen's eagle-like eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze was a little solemn for some reason, and he said to himself, "What the hell..."
Suddenly, a childish voice sounded behind Larsen: "What's wrong?" General Larsen. ”
Larsen glanced back at Solandale as he had climbed the wall, and Garrot followed as usual.
Larsen continued to look north, and said coldly, "It's none of your business. ”
Solandale said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Now the materials have not been fully loaded and unloaded, I have a task on my shoulders, if you observe anything abnormal, I think I have the right to know." ”
Larsen rolled his eyes, didn't bother to continue arguing, motioned for Solandale to stand over, then pointed to the ice and snow forest in the north, and asked coldly, "What do you see?" ”
Solandale looked at it for a long time, not understanding what Larsen was saying, "I didn't see anything. ”
"That's the problem – I don't see anything." Larsen's gaze and tone were very solemn, "There is a joint settlement of barbarians in that forest, which is very large, and tens of thousands of people live in it. It's dinner time, but I don't see a single plume of smoke. ”
Solandale asked tentatively, "Could it be that the settlement has moved somewhere else?" ”
Larsen didn't want to see Solandale in the first place, but now he scolded impatiently: "Are all the cubs born by Pertheus pigs?!" No experience or common sense! That forest is rich in natural resources, it is a rare habitat, and the next forest that can be inhabited is hundreds of miles away, and what chief with a bad brain will casually take people to move? ”
Solandale was speechless, she scratched the back of her head and whispered, "Perhaps, you can send scouts to investigate?" ”
Larsen sneered and looked at Solandale with a brain-dead look: "Shut up, I beg you to shut up, don't always think you're smart, everyone else is an idiot." This kind of thing for granted, you think you can think of the entire frozen fortress? ”
Not long after Larsen finished speaking, several small black dots appeared in the distance, rapidly approaching the huge wall of the fortress, followed by the regular sound of horns, which were the signals of the scout troops.
The gates of the Great Wall were opened, and the scouts entered the frozen fortress and relayed the information to the Officer.
The officer in charge of duty today was none other than Ashuma, who trotted all the way up the stairs to the huge wall, and just wanted to report next to Larsen, when he suddenly found Solandale present, and Garrot glared at him like a lion, and immediately stopped in fright.
Larsen turned his head and looked over: "What are you doing there?" ”
Assuma smiled and said in a witty tone: "I think I'd better stand here, I need to keep a distance of 5 meters from Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Larsen kept rolling his eyes and urged, "Hurry up." ”
Ashuma reported: "My lord, just now the scout troops reported that no barbarians were found in the forest, and the settlement where they originally lived was gone, and there were a lot of traces of migration on the ground, so the scouts judged that the barbarians should have gone north. ”
Larsen frowned and stood silent.
Solandelle smirked, glanced at Larsen childishly, and quipped, "Maybe sometimes, experience and common sense can be wrong." ”
Larsen was originally a haughty person, but when he was refuted at this time, he suddenly felt embarrassed, and scolded: "Get out, go back to your barracks and sleep!" ”
Solandale pulled one back, not to mention how happy she was, and she snorted and walked away with a victor's smile.
Just as Solandale was descending the stairs, Assuma, who was originally submissive, suddenly changed his face and strode over: "Your Highness be careful!! ”
Almost at the same time, Garrot drew his greatsword and slashed forward.
In this icy climate, there are often frozen ice picks in the ice field of the city walls, most of which are usually stable and not dangerous, but occasionally some ice picks will break without warning as they accumulate and loosen their structure.
At this time, a large ice pick happened to fall off from the top of Solandale's head and smashed into her head.
Fortunately, Garrot made a timely move and smashed the ice pick in the air, but his strength was a little too strong, and the ballasts after the ice pick were broken flew everywhere, and the force was enough to make small holes in the ice.
Just as the ice splattered at Solandale, Assuma arrived just in time to protect Solandale with open arms.
Suddenly, Solandelle saw some ice ballast cut through Ashima's hand...
"Your Royal Highness Princess, are you alright?!" Garrot hurriedly ran over, shoved Assuma away, and warned viciously, "What did I tell you before? Want to die, huh?! ”
"I'm sorry, I'm just... I just want to protect Your Highness..."Ashuma quickly muttered an apology and withdrew 5 meters away.
"Don't do that, Garrot, if it weren't for Assuma, I would probably have been injured by the ice ballast." Solandale took the initiative to run to Ashuma's side and asked with concern, "Are your hands okay?" Quick, I'll take you to the doctor to bandage your wounds. ”
Assuma was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Your Highness, I'm not injured." ”
"Huh? Not hurt? Solandale lifted Ashuma's sleeve and saw that his hands were intact and showed no signs of injury.
Solandale touched the back of her head and muttered suspiciously, "Strange, I just saw the ice ballast cut through your hand... Are you really not hurt? Take a closer look. ”
Assuma lifted his sleeves and said with a sneer: "Your Highness, you should have been nervous for a moment and misunderstood, my own hand, if it hurts, I will definitely feel it." ”
What happened just now happened too quickly, and Solandale only glanced at it in a trance, but she didn't see it clearly, and now that Ashuma said that she was fine, she nodded: "Okay... Maybe I'm looking at it wrong. ”
"Your peace is the most important thing." Assuma bowed slightly, and stood there with his head bowed, like a humble servant.
At this time, a herald climbed the city wall and handed a flying letter to Larsen: "My lord, the military situation from the front line from the desert. ”
Larsen opened the Feishu and glanced at it, handed it to Solandelle, and said with a sneer: "Your father is really interesting, he went to the front of the battle to negotiate with the Emperor of the Far East." ”
