When Konop led the army to the Ice Palace City, he saw that the Ice Palace City was quiet, except for the wind on the ice field, there was no sound, that kind of silence, terrifying quiet. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info him and said, "How can this be, is there an ambush?"

Yolson said: "General, even if there are ambushes, we will break through, if we are afraid of ambushes in the city, ask the soldiers to attack the city and immediately attack the city wall and search for the ambush." ”

Cunop understands Jorson's fear, if he retreats, it will affect morale even more, and since he has made up his mind to capture Ice Palace City, he will attack it. So he said: "Gerno, Sabula, Khumble, and Yorsun each lead an army to attack the city from the east, west, north, and south gates, and after entering the city, immediately capture the city pass, and when the city gate is broken, I will lead the army to attack the city directly. ”

The four teams acted separately and immediately launched an attack on the Ice Palace City, however, the Ice Palace City that they captured was nothing more than an empty city, and there was not a single demon soldier in the city at all. At this time, a soldier reported: "General Yu, the demon army was found a hundred miles away in the northwest." ”

Conop asked, "Is it a demon reinforcement?"

The soldier replied, "No, the direction of its action is not towards the Ice Palace City, but retreat." ”

Another soldier reported: "General, the Misty Dream Swamp has arrived with reinforcements led by Earl Lane and General Alfred, and has annihilated the First Expeditionary Force of the Demon Army, and is now coming towards our Ice Palace City. ”

Knopp said: "It seems that the Kunshang used the golden cicada to escape from the shell, no wonder the demon army that fought with us before marched so slowly, but it was very brave when fighting, all in order to drag us down and capture the Ice Palace City, so that the Kunshang could retreat." ”

Ge Erno said: "But I don't understand, why don't they hold on to Ice Palace City, then it will be more difficult for us to take it, and won't Kunshang retreat farther?"

"Then you are wrong," said Cunop, "in that case, as soon as Kunshang leads his troops out of the city, our scouts will be aware of his retreat." The reason why he ordered an army to block us was also to lead the troops out of the city, so that we could not take care of the movement of his withdrawal army, and he had been monitoring the Ice Palace City, thinking that he was in the city, and he had laid out an empty city plan for this reason. ”

Gerno asked, "Shall we pursue it?"

"No, our soldiers are all resting now, not to mention they can't catch up, they will definitely jump straight from the Fengwu Plain and leave the Hope Canyon." In this way, it seems that they know the battle situation of the dream before me, only a lone army is left in the Ice Palace City, and sooner or later it will be besieged, rather than this, it is better to withdraw the army as soon as possible, this is probably the idea of Kunshang. ”

"Although the demon army has retreated, the Ice Palace City is seriously damaged, and we also need to rest, in my opinion, General, we are stationed here to wait for reinforcements to send military supplies." ”

On the way to the march, the soldiers who arrived from the Ice Palace City reported the news of the Ice Palace City to Kers, and Kers still ordered the food and grass to go first to deliver military supplies to the army of Konopu and Jolson in the Ice Palace City. Ryan said to Kers: "It is already unimaginable to be able to repel the demon army this time, if it weren't for the fact that the demons were in a hurry to go on an expedition and have been guarding the Hope Canyon, waiting for a large number of demon armies to come, and then attacking the humans, it may be difficult for us humans to repel them." ”

Kers said: "Yes, it seems that the demons do not have military strategic talents, they are just fierce beasts that blindly attack humans. ”

Ryan said: "Actually, I don't think so, General Kers, the reason why the demons often attack humans seems to be trying and using their military talents, as well as the demon soldiers, you can also see that the demon soldiers in this war are quite strong, whether in terms of individual attacks or in terms of army formation, they are stronger than before, and our previous battles have never been so badly defeated." ”

Kers nodded and said, "Yes, you're right, if it weren't for the fact that our human kingdom has a system of cultivating heroes since childhood, in this battle, many brave men have attacked the demon army camp from behind, disrupting their position, and it would be difficult to repel them." ”

Ryan said: "When you return to Canossa, you must report the details of this war to Her Majesty, and you must also prepare for the demon race to attack the human kingdom again in the future." ”

Kers agreed with Ryan's point of view and said, "Well, Count Ryan, I think there should be more archer-type ranged attack soldiers, after all, the magic attack range of the mage is limited, and when the two armies are fighting, they can use archers to shoot the demons' feet." And there are too few archers in our human army. ”

Ryan said: "You can propose to Her Majesty, with the details of this long-range defeat, and she will definitely agree with you." ”

"I've proposed it before, but Her Majesty seems to be worried about something, so she said she'll put it aside for now," said Kers. ”

Ryan knew what Kers was, he was a member of the royal family, and he had the same political views as the queen, not the kind of person who wanted to overthrow Queen Hurri's regime, so he said directly: "I should be thinking about those dissidents in the kingdom." ”

Kers understood what Ryan was talking about, and said, "But it's just that there are differences in political opinions, so there's no need to have any scruples about military construction, right?"

Ryan said: "Having said that, but you also know that the power of those guys is very large, and there are many mercenary legions, if you agree to this proposal to add more archers, once there is a civil strife in the human kingdom one day, then there will inevitably be bloodshed and sacrifices, and the addition of archers and rocketeers will inevitably cause more innocent soldiers to be killed and injured, and of course, the loss of civilian houses will be countless." ”

"That's right. "No wonder Her Majesty wants to put this proposal on hold for now." ”

At this moment, a pigeon flew down to Lane's shoulder, and Lane saw that it was a special carrier pigeon of Marin, the magistrate of Canossa, and he immediately took the letter from the pigeon's foot, which read: The guards at the gates of the palace have been changed, and they cannot enter the palace to investigate. Ryan was shocked when he saw it.

Kers saw his look of surprise and asked, "Count Lane, what happened?"

Ryan pretended to be calm and said, "General Kers, the matter of transporting military supplies to Ice Palace City will be handed over to me, and I must rush back to Canossa immediately, and I will explain the matter to you later." After speaking, he turned to Jili and Keith and said, "Jili, Keith, bring your group members, and go back to Canossa with me immediately, the matter is urgent, quickly!"

Seeing Ryan's hurried expression, Puth also said, "Dragon City, Enna, and Angel, hurry up and follow Master Ryan, quickly." ”

Enna ran after Purs, asking, "Purs, what's going on?"

Puth said: "I don't know yet, judging from Master Lane's expression, it should be something important that happened in Canossa." ”

Long Cheng also said with a solemn expression: "In my opinion, it should have something to do with that matter, Puth, do you still remember? ”

Puth nodded and said, "Likely." ”
