The army of more than 100,000 has been assembled, and according to the empress's vision, the legion will gradually gather the nobles of the border on the way out of the snowfield, and when it reaches the border, the legion will have an army of hundreds of thousands, which is an invincible force.

"Regardless of the outcome of this battle, the final outcome will definitely be recorded in the epic. Carlos looked at the map on the round table and said excitedly.

"If the empire can't wipe out the snow tribe this time and plunder all their wealth back, then this expedition is probably the last expedition of the empire!" Russell stood beside him, telling the truth in a flat tone.

Carlos looked at Russell helplessly and said: "Because of this incident, many nobles with bad intentions were arrested by the guards, and at this critical juncture, Her Majesty the Empress, who was already a little sensitive, because of the betrayal of the nobles led by Count Nicholas, no longer believes that anyone ordered the nobles to go with her, so the men of the Hill family's direct line, that is, I will also go on the expedition!"

Speaking of this, Carlos turned to look at Russell and smiled: "It's that you are not a nobleman now, but you are very free at this time!"

Russell stretched out his hand and slapped him and said, "Don't arrange me, I thought that this disaster was stopped by us, but I didn't expect that after the natural disaster, there would be man-made disasters that we all need to face." ”

Russell stretched out his hand and pointed to the north of the map, and swore an oath: "According to my investigation, my father's troops were attacked by the army of the northern snowfield, and I didn't get any important clues when I went to San Caron this time, but I understand that all this has nothing to do with that guy Nikolai, and I am determined to track down the murderer, and besides, you are going to go on an expedition, how can I, a good brother, abandon it?"

"By the way, I still have a group to follow me, where is your team?" Russell remembered something and hurriedly asked.

Carlos walked straight to the window and pointed down, and Russell followed and looked curiously. Carlos explained with a smile: "The servants working below are my army!"

"What do you mean!"

"That's what I mean literally, although the Hill family is in decline, there is still a team of private soldiers, that is, the servants of the Hill family, why my housekeepers line up the military formation, the reason is that most of them are retired soldiers, even young people have been trained all year round!"

Russell suddenly realized, he remembered the famous private armies in his previous life, and suddenly did not have the slightest doubt about the combat effectiveness of the servants who built flowers and plants below.

Carlos seemed to see what Russell was thinking, and quietly comforted: "You don't have to overestimate their strength, even if they are veterans who have seen blood, but they haven't been to the battlefield for many years, and their combat effectiveness is far inferior to before, unlike the troops you formed, they have experienced many battles in the past six months, and all of them are brave and good veterans, and my housekeeper is full of praise for these soldiers!"

Russell patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Thank you, but the future battle will be extraordinary, the battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people will not allow us to be heroes, we must protect ourselves when fighting!"

"Of course, I'm the head of the Hill family, and I can't die easily!"

Talking about death, the two of them didn't know why they laughed together, laughing at the hope of the future or the confusion about the future, and others didn't know.

At the armament office on the outskirts of the city, a well-dressed knight chief arrived with a plainly dressed woman. When the soldiers guarding the gate saw the arrival of the chief knight, they stood up straight, raised their heads and gave a military salute to the chief knight, and shouted: "Sir, greetings to you!"

The chief knight nodded slightly to the soldiers, pointed to the gate and ordered: "Open the gate, the palace has sent someone to check the weapons and equipment!"

The soldier looked at the strange woman with some suspicion, but he could not disobey the commander's order, so he had to take out the key that was close to him, pick out the heaviest one among them, insert the keyhole and twist it a few times, and then took off the iron lock with great difficulty.

After the soldier gently put the lock on the ground, he dragged the door on the left side open with all his strength, and suddenly there was a musty smell from inside, the knight chief couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his nose, he looked at the woman and seemed to want to propose to wait for the smell to disperse before going in, the woman next to him walked straight in without saying a word, the knight chief exhaled deeply in desperation, and followed into the warehouse.

The soldier tilted his head as the two entered the warehouse, and with a pout, he took out a piece of black bread from his waist and nibbled on it.

"Lord Shani, this is where the Imperial Capital stores weapons and armor, you see, although we haven't taken them out for many years, our commanders have taken care of these equipment themselves to ensure that they don't rust and break, so they are still as good as new!"

Shani looked at the neatly arranged weapons, nodded with satisfaction, turned around and said: "Your task of taking care of the equipment has been completed very well, the equipment is basically not corroded, it seems that you are very conscientious in this regard, I will tell Her Majesty the truth about your dutiful behavior!"

The knight greeted and said, "Thank you for your kind words, I am grateful!"
