Rhodes saw the cracked ceiling, the cracks spreading out like spider webs in the middle, and soon, the roof of the entire room began to crumble, and the rubble and dust poured down like a torrential rain.

Rhodes subconsciously raised his hands to cover it, but found that he was already in a battlefield of blood and fire. All around, there are roaring orcs and goblins. The lit flints were hurled towards the castle in the distance. The sky was a dull blood-red, and the wolf knight roared past, leaving a trail of charred dust.

As Rhodes walked forward with the siege troops, he saw countless corpses. The corpses belonged to the human soldiers, and they were devastated, some with broken arms, some with broken legs, and some as if they had been cut open with sharp axes, and their bodies were broken in two. The Grim Reaper stripped them of their armor and clothes, leaving behind a shocking corpse.

Rhodes continued to numbly step forward on the black soil, and he could see clearly that it was a castle. A human castle built in the middle of a mountain, with tall towers and suspension bridges, tall stone walls and straight paths. However, the castle was burning, thick black smoke billowing out of the castle, and Rhodes could even feel the heat on his face, which smoked him with sweat and oil.

I must be in the depths of a dream...... Rhodes said to himself, however, he couldn't get out of the dream. It was as if the crimson sky was his prison. In an instant, the heavens and the earth turned grayish. The battlefield in front of me turned into a morgue, with no orcs and goblins in sight, no burning flames and thick black smoke, only pale corpses. On the corpse, many people dressed as nuns were lying on the corpse and praying to them. Rhodes tried to walk over and inquire about the situation, they were like servants of death and Moors.

Rhodes grabbed a nun by the shoulders and was about to ask a question, but saw that the nun's face was pale, there were only two dark holes in what should have been her eyes, she had no nose, and half of her mouth was missing. Pale as a ghost...... Rod quickly let go of her and stumbled backwards, only to be grabbed by a corpse's hand at his ankle. When I looked closely, the corpse was myself!

Rhodes tried to break free of those hands, and if there was an axe, he would have cut off the skeletal hand with an axe without mercy, but no, he tried his best to break free, but he couldn't. The zombies were so powerful that little by little they pulled him into the ground and into the grave...... All around, there was silence, only death-like darkness.

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty......"

A hurried shout pulled Rhodes out of his dream. At first, my mind was dizzy and my vision was chaotic, but gradually, my sanity slowly returned. When he was sober again, Rhodes looked at the person in front of him, it was his squire Chiora.

"Your Excellency, Earl Cyril has an important matter to invite you to an appointment and a meeting. ”

The guard said respectfully.

"Did he say anything?"

Rhodes asked, reaching into the basin and washing his face with water.

"Blizzard, a blizzard is in front of us. That's all I know, my lord. ”

"Okay, you go down and get ready, and I'll go over later. ”

Rod said, still with a hint of tiredness and exhaustion on his face. Nightmares always make people lose a lot of physical strength and energy, and this seems to belong only to Rhodes' "privilege".

......

When he entered the tent, judging by the strange looks on everyone's faces, Rod knew that something was wrong. Caroline followed behind her, and similarly, as soon as she entered, she felt that something was wrong. Keep your books in stock

Cyril leaned sideways, half-leaning back in his chair with a solemn expression. Lord Giger and Lord Deguer sat in their places, looking idle. Volkuf's face was full of sorrow, as if his nose and eyebrows were about to be squeezed together. Edmund hadn't arrived yet, and Rhodes estimated that he would be relieved to hear the news. A blizzard blocked the roads, meaning that the Northern Coalition could no longer move south to support the city of Kislev. Nor can it converge with the Southern Corps. For some, it will be sad, and for others, it will be secretly happy.

Rhodes knew that Lord Deguer of Snow Rock Castle and Lord Giger of Castle Dusk must be secretly refreshed at this moment, this snowstorm came at a good time, and now, the road to the south was blocked, even if others wanted to go south to support the queen, there was no way. Save yourself from serving that brutal vampire queen.

But some people are worried, such as the one who was supported by the Ice Queen, Volkuf, who did not go south, and would be punished and questioned by the Queen at any time in the future.

And what Rhodes is worried about is the problem after the blizzard, what kind of character is Ironhide Rod knows very well, he will never be willing to go home like this, he will look for new opponents, new enemies. Then, the northern border, which is not covered by a blizzard, is undoubtedly the next target...... Although there are not many people here, compared to Kislev City, there are very few people. But it is an object that can be conquered and can be fought.

In front of us is a blood-boiling orc army, and the entire northern territory is still full of different people. There were no less such meetings along the way, and Rhodes didn't know what kind of quarrel would break out here today. The North lacks a true leader, a great lord who can really hold everyone down. Cyril is quite a great lord of the North, but everyone can see that he doesn't have this ability.

"There was no way to continue south. Give up, we should go north and return to our homeland. Caterina won't blame us, it's the storm, it's not that we don't want to go south, right?"

Baron Giger said loudly in a slightly mocking tone.

"It's autumn, not winter, and don't you think it's strange that there's a blizzard at this time? Even in the cold of winter, there hasn't been such a terrible storm. ”

Volkuf retorted. He glared at Baron Giger in front of him, as if to say that your infidelity to the Queen would incur the wrath of the Queen. But Giger doesn't care, after all, there are other people who are on the same side as him. The lords of Snow Rock Castle, Ice Lan Castle, and Eagle's Nest City all see it this way. Even the White Bear Lord had such sentiments, but everyone knew that Rod's daughter was a hostage in Kislev, so it was inconvenient for him to say anything.

"Whether it's a naturally occurring storm or a man-made one, anyway, now that the road is blocked, tell me, what can we do to continue south? If the North is gone, will Kislev be safe?"

Lord Deguel roared. His momentum immediately overpowered Volkuf, who set his sights on Cyrill, who had the most vocal. The Count, however, seemed helpless about it, and sat there, motionless, with nothing but confusion in his eyes.

"If you don't have a better way, listen to me. ”

After falling silent, Rhodes stepped forward—

"Whether this blizzard is man-made or natural, we can't continue south right now. However, not being able to continue south does not mean that we are safe. The snow will melt after all, and when the time comes, the greenskins will make a comeback again. My opinion is still the same, to concentrate all our forces and form the strongest cavalry force, to cooperate with the Ugor cavalry, and to harass the Greenskins. Fatigue them, let them not be strong, until they are drawn out of Kislev. ”

"I agree with Rod's statement, look at what this green-skinned army has been doing these days, crushing Kislev's regular army twice in a row. In a very short time, the troops were under the city of Kislev. If it weren't for this unnatural storm, I'm afraid the city of Kislev would be in danger. What Rhodes said before is not alarmist, we just haven't really realized the horror of this green-skinned army. It is necessary to organize the largest cavalry regiment possible, so that it can hold the Greenskins as long as possible, if they do go north after this. ”

Edmund arrived late, but as soon as he entered the room, he indicated that he was on Rhodes' side. It is not surprising that during the rebellion of Erlengrad, the Iceland Castle and the army fought side by side with the army of Blackhammer Keep on several occasions. Edmund himself and Rhodes were also best comrades-in-arms. This relationship continued into the later Norsca invasion. When the Norsca tribe invaded, Lord Edmund once again sent an army to support Rhodes as soon as possible. They are not brothers, but they are better than brothers......

"Even if all the cavalry is gathered together and the largest cavalry legion in the north is formed, then who will be the commander of this legion?"

Lord Burtner asks the toughest and at the same time the most sensitive question. In the North, the Watchtower is the largest castle, and it stands to reason that the Lords of the Watchtower should be in charge of the Northern Alliance, but it seems that Cyril's abilities are not enough to convince the public. Even Cyril himself knows it. He was silent, watching everyone to see who was willing to be the first bird. But no one seems to want to ...... Although the other person is capable, he is not the strongest person in the north, and Rhodes knows that he is not able to convince the public at this time, and the key is that some people are still the queen's people, and it is really difficult to control the overall situation. As for Palumbel, the boss of the Ugol cavalry, although he has extraordinary courage and archery skills, he does not belong to the lord of the north after all. No one is comfortable putting the army in the hands of an outsider......
