At the Academy of Magic, the cold footsteps of the Ice Queen could be heard from the dark basement.

Walking down from the secret passage of the alchemy room is the entrance to the underground palace. Tiles, the former mayor of Errengrad, was now chained and walking forward little by little. He didn't know where Caterina was taking him. He'd been to this magic academy before, it was where witch apprentices were kept, yes, in Tills's eyes, it was a prison. He never thought of the Academy of Magic as an academy, because his daughters and granddaughters had all died here, and he had never even seen their bones. He hated it here, yes, he hated, he hated everything that had to do with the Queen.

"Let's go. ”

The Queen's guards roared as they drove Tyres.

Tills's worn feet were trampled on the icy floor, leaving a trail of shallow, bloody footprints. The corridor is flanked by recessed niche-like structures. The light was too dim for Tilles to see what was on display.

Unlike ordinary kerosene lamps, the flames in the brazier are not warm orange-red, but snow-white and provide only light, but no trace of temperature. The flame was like solidified ash, without the slightest beat.

Walking down the deep corridors, everything here seemed so eerie that Tilles wondered if it was still part of the Academy of Magic, and he didn't know how far the group had taken him in the darkness. His feet were numb and no longer seemed to belong to him.

Finally, the Ice Queen stopped in front of a pitch-black gate. She whispered the incantation, and the door roared like a machine, and after a moment of agitation, the massive stone door opened. Shoved, Tills walked inside. Only then did he realize that the recessed niches on both sides of the corridor were not statues of gods, but embryos of deformed creatures!

If he could still speak, Tills would have cursed this devil in human skin. However, he didn't have a chance, he didn't have a chance to fight back, he didn't even have a chance to scold. The truth that the winner is king is so simple.

Treading on the ground with broken bones and ice shards, Tilles slowly walked into the dark and dark dungeon. It is a real dungeon, with no light, no life, and even, no air. The smell of decay and decay was unbearable, mixed with the stench of corpses and blood. But the two queens' men held him down, and he had to go on step by step.

In front of a huge platform, the Ice Queen Caterina stops her tracks. She turned her head, revealing her pale, bloodless face.

"Tills, you've always wanted to know how your daughter, and your granddaughter, died. You've even been wondering if they're really dead. Today, I'm going to let you see the truth. ”

Caterina said, a sly smile on her lips. She looked at Tilce as if she were admiring her prey. Immediately, a horde of zombie-like monsters came out of the darkness and surrounded Tilce and Caterina in the middle.

Poor former mayor of Errengrad's eyes widened, he couldn't speak, but he could still see the world. What a terrible and dark world it was, and the monsters around it were deformed and ugly. Filled with the stench of corpses, Tilles finally knew where the stench in the dungeon came from. This was originally the place where the dead were held, or rather, Caterina's underground hatching base. And she herself is the leader of this army of the undead. House

"Come here, good girl, and meet this guest. ”

The Queen's ethereal voice echoed through the dark halls. Soon, two floating banshees swam up to Tils.

The scene in front of him completely broke the last psychological defense line of Tills. The monster floating in front of him was none other than Vera and Britney, who had disappeared from the Kislev Academy of Magic and Magic years ago, and that was his most beloved daughter and granddaughter.

Caterina almost burst out laughing, a laugh full of ecstasy, the ecstasy of revenge. For Queen Caterina, there is nothing more painful than revenge. It was a pleasure to see one's enemies tortured to death, as if it were a delicacy, a delicacy that sucked blood.

Tyrse fell to his knees, stumbling on something, but he couldn't utter a word, no tongue, only a muffled intonation. His face was full of wrinkles and scars, and he was in tears. Crawled in front of the two banshees. However, Vera and Britney, who have become undead, do not move in the slightest. They are numb and cold. Only the Queen's order is followed.

"Your daughter is not well-behaved and I killed her. Back then, you couldn't see the corpses, because I resurrected them and became my men. ”

The dungeon echoed with Caterina's mad laughter. As Tilles cursed, she was the devil, even more perverted than the devil, and torturing people was the most beautiful pleasure for her. At this moment, the cold Caterina stood in front of the defeated general Tils, she watched him cry, watched him collapse in despair, howled and cried, and her heart was full of satisfaction......

"Now, he's yours. ”

Finally, the queen had enough of the play. She commanded faintly. The two banshees carried out their master's orders like machines, and they floated over, stretched out their bony fingers, and stabbed their claws into the man's eye sockets, blood filling Tils' eye sockets......

He screamed, heartbreakingly. However, there was not the slightest expression on the banshee's face. They are already undead, and they will not recognize this as their father, who loves them the most and has raised them for more than ten years...... Finally, Tilles' heart was pulled alive from her body by the two banshees. The scarlet blood spurred the blood-thirsty minions, who pounced on the queen's acquiescence, gnawing at the blood-scarred corpse like wild beasts......

......

Outside the Winter Palace of Ice, Rhodes said goodbye to his daughter Dennis and embarked on the long journey back to the North. At this moment, as the new earl, Rhodes was full of melancholy. There was still too much for him to do, and there were nobles in Blackhammer who were gearing up to seize power. The northern frontier is scattered, Alves of the Iron Ring Fortress is isolated, and the corrosion of chaos is approaching.

With heavy snowfall, Kislev has one of the coldest winters on record......
