Three days after the most humiliating event in the military history of the Defeated Soldier City, known as the New Year's Retreat, the military finally counted the number of dead and missing, as well as the amount of consolation money that needed to be paid. Except for the Falcon Killing Regiment, which went out relatively late, the vanguard of the other ten route armies and 200 non-commissioned officers was defeated.

That night, the army envoy went to contact the forest army to ask for the situation of the captured soldiers. When these people went out, the rest were counted as killed, and the military headquarters held a funeral for these people for a quarter of an hour.

The Duke of Torch cut off one of his little fingers at the funeral and buried it in the military cemetery along with the list of soldiers killed.

In addition to asking for information about the enemy prisoners, the envoy of the army also brought a message that he would exchange the fir princess for the prisoners.

When the Duke of Torch heard that Princess Fir had been captured by the sick princess's men, he was angry and surprised. He felt that if he had the fir princess, he would definitely play this card beautifully, and maybe there would not be a defeat today.

In the face of the accusations, the false princess only asked the messenger to summon her in a commanding tone, completely ignoring the Duke of Torch.

Duke Torch lost all his majesty after this defeat, and most of the remaining troops in the city were support troops from White Moon City, and under the condition that Duke Xilin died and closed the city, he listened to the princess's orders, although these people were not as effective as the Biansai Legion, but they were now basically full. Therefore, the sick princess had basically mastered the military power of the defeated city at this time. That's why she had to be so relaxed before.

Early in the morning, the fir princess and the prisoners of war made an exchange, and neither side produced any moths. The forest country side attaches great importance to this princess and does not dare to make a mistake. The princess on this side of the defeated city is even more pompous, she didn't prepare any tricks, and she can be regarded as letting go of the forest country.

The envoy of the Forest Country didn't expect the people of the White Moon Country to let the princess go so happily. Although it looked miserable to have the joints cut out, this kind of injury was nothing in front of the senior priest, which was the workload of twenty-four hours.

After the fir princess returned to her camp, she did not express her joy, but trembled. Zhou Shu and the sick princess ate eyesight-enhancing candy and stood on the city wall to watch the handover team exchange prisoners at the city gate. Both of them saw Princess Fir's expression, and then looked at each other and smiled. Master Zhou smiled bitterly. The sick princess is a thief and smiles, looking particularly cute.

Obviously, this princess of the enemy country, who has suffered a considerable amount of trauma, is afraid that she will not be able to do without a psychiatrist in her life in the future, and she will not dare to eat spicy food. It can be assumed that if Princess Sick and she become the queens of the White Moon Country and the Forest Country respectively, the centuries-old history of the two countries at war will end in this generation, because the Fir Queen voluntarily dedicated the Forest Country to the White Moon Country. With the fear that the fir princess has now of for the sick princess, this kind of thing is very likely to happen.

The sick princess lost a good playmate, and she was still somewhat lost. She fiddled with the mobile phone given by Zhou Shu. There are a lot of hardcore photos of the fir princess inside. Zhou Shu did not know some of the experiences of this unlucky princess, and the sick princess did not tell him, because that would lower the man's evaluation of himself, and perhaps he would feel disgusted and hate himself.

Zhou Shu glanced at his mobile phone slightly, and the sick princess quickly retracted her hand, like a stingy schoolboy, unwilling to watch her companions play with the handheld.

"What's the big deal. "Master Zhou has some sour grapes.

At the end of the prisoner exchange, a vat of molten iron was poured on the city gate gears. All the main gates of the Defeated City were blocked, and only two small gates of the Urn City were left to enter and exit. The gates of these urns are opened. It can only be done by letting two slender women pass through guò side by side, and it is impossible for the army of the country of the forest to march from these. All the crossbowmen in the defeated city were gathered at these two gates, and whenever an enemy came to attack, the hedgehog was their example.

Under this tight defense of self-containment, the battle between the two armies became stalemate.

The good news is that the Lantern area has really sent troops to help, and when Asuka brought the news, Duke Torch knelt down in his family's cemetery for the night to thank his ancestors for their blessings. The bad news is that the country of the forest used magic for the first time in this war. They sent magicians out to affect the weather near the defeated city, causing a continuous freezing rain to fall in the city.

A week after the prisoner exchange, the Lantern Army had not yet arrived, but the city had been rendered uninhabitable.

At this temperature, the falling raindrops hit the ground and immediately turn into a thin layer of ice. The earth was perfectly frozen 10 minutes after the rain. In a week's time, it rained for more than 50 hours, and the roof and the thickest ice on the ground could be one meter.

Ice picks several meters long hung from tall buildings, and many roofs of poor homes were crushed by ice. The streets were fine, the army was mobilized to remove the ice, and the ice could not withstand the manpower and was quickly cleared, but the hunting grounds in the city were damaged, and the whole forest farm became a white hell, and it was impossible for animals to survive there, and the trees could not survive.

Looking at the forest farm from the bell tower of the non-commissioned officer school, it looks like a box of checkers has been doused with a thick layer of glue and then thrown in the refrigerator and frozen overnight. The same is true of uninhabited parts of the city, where hundreds of citizens die of frostbite and frostbite.

The freezing rain also brought some good news, at least for the time being, the city does not have to worry about drinking water.

Master Zhou was killed by the freezing rain and stayed in the small hotel for seven days, unable to go out at all. The innkeeper finally learned to save on charcoal and coal, and the temperature in the inn plummeted.

Duke Torch once wanted to send someone to cut down his own forest farm without animals, but the trees were dead anyway, so it was better to use them to dry and use them as firewood. As a result, the ice on the other side of the forest farm is too thick, and it is impossible to cut trees, and the trees are still very watery, so there is no possibility of using them as firewood.

Zhou Shu and Wu Lami finally couldn't stand the temperature in the house on this day, and wanted to take advantage of the fact that it was not raining at this time to hide in the dilapidated mansion of the sick princess. For the past few days, they have both buried themselves in a pile of long-haired sheepdogs to keep warm. The other passengers in the hotel can't do without the quilt at all, and they all wear hats when they sleep.

When he came to the big house, Zhou Shu found that the sick princess and Xiao Tao were huddled in a blanket and shivering to keep warm, and the imaginary fire and hot tea did not exist at all.

As soon as the sick princess saw Zhou Shu, she complained: "The country of the forest wants us to burn all the wood, and then let us freeze and starve to death in the city without fire." ”

"I'm rubbing, so cruel. Hurry up and help see if you can crack it. ”

Zhou Shu regarded the sick princess who was unbearable as a fortune teller under the bridge, mainly because what she said was too sensational. It's been cold for a week, and I'm about to freeze out of arthritis, is this temperature going to continue?

The sick princess pursed her lips, indicating that she didn't sing. The Lantern Army, which had been harassed by Chief Kurogi, was marching quite slowly, and it would take at least a week to get there.

For the Forest Army and the Black Wood Army, which had already been assembled, the Lantern Legion could only tie all the legions together and march slowly, otherwise it would be easy to be wiped out by a surprise attack from the enemy.

Luckily, the bald mage of Idreni said that the water near the Defeated City had been almost tied to the enemy's magic, and the rainfall would be greatly reduced in the next few days. As long as it lasts another week, it may be time to turn the tide of battle.

Zhou Shu can survive for a week, but it's a big deal to change some bees and spread them on himself to let them vibrate their wings and rub against heat, but the situation on the army side is very bad. If it freezes like this again, there will probably be no ordinary people who can act in Kung Fu City for three or five days.

You must know that the sick princess and Zhou Shu are both high-level martial artists, although Xiao Tao, as a representative of ordinary people, has strong muscles, but she has also had some chilblains on her toes when she asked around for news in the past few days.

If it weren't for the sick princess who was inconvenient for her to talk here, Xiao Tao would have directly asked Zhou Shu to summon her back, she didn't want to suffer in this place anymore.

The temperature in the city is around minus 20 degrees Celsius, which is about the same as the winter temperature in the Arctic Circle. Don't look at the fact that the number of people who froze to death this week is not much, it is because the people have a reserve of fuel and even wooden furniture that can be burned to keep warm. Early this morning, many dilapidated houses in the city have been demolished by the citizens, and any piece of wood will be snatched away.

Judging from this situation, all the wooden houses in the city will be poisoned in the next two or three days. What's even more terrifying is the food problem, hot meals are already quite a luxury in today's Defeated City.

"Or, tear down the attic and make a fire, I'll tear it down. Miss Dorothy volunteered to take action to raise the temperature in the city.

"Don't be busy......" Zhou Shu really couldn't stand it, the two women shrank together, looking like they were messing with Ji, and with a wave of his hand, he conjured up a hundred sheepdogs in the living room.

The presence of these dog things immediately warmed up the room. The room of the small hotel can't fit a few dogs, the temperature can't be raised, and the living room of the dilapidated house is spacious enough, barely solving the 'coal burning emergency'.

The three girls hugged the dog's neck, and Master Zhou held the dog's belly, just in a daze in the room.

A few of them weren't cold anymore, but people were dying from the cold all the time outside the house. Just when the four of them were worried about finding a way, the Bobcat siblings, who had not seen each other for a long time, climbed over the courtyard wall and ran for help.

The three siblings have been living in the old house, although the house has been renovated by Midalie's men, but the craftsmanship of the second-hand bricklayers of the Falcon is too chaotic, and it is a miracle that the Bobcat siblings lived in that kind of room for seven days without dying. Although the three children live in the city as if it were a jungle, they can only seek refuge from others when their lives are at stake.

Although Zhou Shu didn't like children, he didn't want to see these children who were eating Chinese New Year's Eve with him freezing to death, and decisively opened the door to let them in.

When the three siblings saw the room full of dogs, the first thing that flowed out was saliva.

"Don't eat, hug for warmth. Zhou Shu reminded. The three children, perhaps too cold to lose their strength, weakly picked up the dog and soon fell asleep.
