When the soldier reported to Conop that the demons were not in pursuit, he seemed to remember something. He said to Yolson www.biquge.info "General Yolsun, did you notice anything strange when you entered the demon army camp just now?"

Jolson replied, "Strange things?"

"Don't you think there are too few household items, and the stove?"

"That's right. Jolson replied, "An army cannot be so sparsely cookstoves. ”

"Well, that would explain why the Demon Army didn't dare to pursue us. Cornop immediately turned to a general beside him and said, "Gerno, I order you to lead all the Templars under your command to counterattack the demon army, you can rest assured, they are only a small army, and they must be wiped out." ”

Gerno replied, "The last general is commanded. After saying that, he rode his horse and led the army away.

But Cornop still sensed that something was not right, but he couldn't remember what was wrong. Half an hour later, Gerno sent troops to report: "General Yu, General Gerno has defeated the demon army, almost wiped out the demon army, and captured a few alive. ”

Greno arrived with the messengers, and he came to Synop and said, "General, I have captured a few demon soldiers, but no matter how hard they are tortured, they will not open their mouths. ”

It is said that after the Ice Palace City led the army out of the city with Conop and Jorson, at noon, when the soldiers defending the city changed their guards, they saw an arrow rising from the southwest, and the soldiers defending the city thought that the battle was going forward, and they did not realize that the demon army that had already sneaked into the city at night.

Hearing only a trumpet, the demon army appeared under the ice palace city like a descending from the sky, and the panicked defenders would not be able to cope with such a surprise attack, and in less than a moment, the demon army had besieged the ice palace city, and broke through the city gates, and fought fiercely with the Templars of Françon. The people of the city were scattered in all directions, and most of them were inevitably killed, and all of a sudden, the city was in chaos, and the sound of tearing and killing, the neighing of horses, and the sound of crying were heard in the ears.

Seeing that he couldn't resist it, Franson ordered his soldiers to lead a few teams to break out of the city and ask for help from Cornop. The soldier shouted: "But general, the Ice Palace City has few soldiers, let's withdraw quickly, we can't resist the main force of the demon army." ”

Franson said while killing: "If you can't resist it, you have to block it, as long as the head of Synop comes back to save us, we can't lose Ice Palace City, you know?"

Although the white horse and silver armor of the Knights Templar repelled the attacks of the demon army again and again, after all, they were outnumbered, and after the gates of the Ice Palace City were breached, Françon was surrounded by enemies on all sides and was besieged in the city. But he did not give up hope, he firmly believed that the commander of the Kornop would definitely come back to the rescue, and he and his men continued to fight bloody battles against the demon army.

He was also exhausted when one by one the soldiers fell before his eyes, blood staining the white ground of Ice Palace City. However, with his belief in loyalty to the kingdom, he swung his sword vigorously and slew the demon soldiers who rushed forward.

Soon, a message came from the direction of Ice Palace City, rushed off the horse, climbed with a roll, and came to Corep, and said: "General, it's not good, the demon army has attacked Ice Palace City, and General Fransen ordered several of our teams to break out of the siege and come for help. However, I am the only one who has rushed out of the heavy resistance of the demon army, and I ask the general to return to the army to rescue him as soon as possible. ”

Konop was shocked when he heard this, and he only then understood the intention of the arrow before being ambushed by the demon army just now, which was the attack signal sent to the demon army that had lurked outside the ice palace city, and in this small demon army, no shadow of the demon army general Kunshang was found, which could also be explained, and he immediately ordered to rush back to the ice palace city.

However, when Cornop and Jolson led their army to the city of Ice Palace, the banner of the Demon Army had already been planted in the city, and the head of the commander of the Fourth Army of the Templar Order, Françon, was hanging above the city gate. "Françon!" Cornop dismounted, fell to his knees in the snow, and cried out in mourning.

"General—!" the guards beside Kernop helped him up.

Konop had to retreat ten miles and set up camp, and the soldiers who escaped from the Ice Palace City reported to Konop, and almost all the defenders of the Ice Palace City were killed. When Conop heard this, he became angry and said, "Kunshang, don't be too arrogant, I will capture you alive in the future, and I want you to die an ugly death." ”

Jolson was looking at the map and exclaimed, "It seems that Kunshang is using the ice field monsters on the plateau to lead the way for them, bypassing the bottom of this abyss valley and reaching the Ice Palace City from this secret path. ”

Kernop said: "It's useless to say anything now, it's that I didn't find out these as soon as possible, the demon army actually arrived here very early, why didn't they storm the ice bridge and then take the ice palace city, this is too inappropriate for their style." For an expeditionary force, it is difficult to continue fighting without capturing the city as soon as possible. ”

Jolson said, "yes, I was too careless. ”

"Another point, that is, when we entered the demon army's empty camp, the sound of the arrow before we were ambushed by the demon army was the signal that the demon army captured the ice palace city. Konop thought for a moment, and then said, "But even if I knew that when we returned to save Ice Palace City, I am afraid that we would be attacked from behind by this small demon army behind us." From this point of view, Kunshang is indeed very unusual. ”

Jolson said, "What should we do now?" ”

"Now that the demon army has captured the Ice Palace City, we have become passive, if we persist for a long time, we will soon run out of food, and we will be unable to fight due to cold. The most important thing now is to change the passive to the active, go to the city every day to call for battle, and force the Kunshang to lead the army into battle, as long as he defeats him, there may be a slight turnaround, otherwise, ......" He did not say any more.

Yolson said: "But now to let the Kunshang go out of the city to fight, I think it is a bit impossible, after all, they are an expedition, and before the rear reinforcements arrive, I think they will definitely stick to the city and wait for the times to change." ”

"I know that, too. "But there's no better way now, unless Alama shows up, and maybe lure the merchants out of the city." ”

"Allama is here?" Jolson thought for a moment and said, "General, I've paid attention, I don't know if it's possible?"

Konop asked, "Is there any way, you can tell me first." ”

Jolson said, "Don't you really want to be ashamed of your blood, as long as we let someone pretend to be the son of Alama we can lead him out of the city to fight." ”

"Son of Alama ?" said Conop, "in the name of the son of Alama , if Kunshang really wants to be disgraced by blood, he will definitely fight with the son of Alama and divide the victory." But I haven't heard that Alama has a son?"

Yolson said: "General, it is said that it is falsely claimed to be the son of Alama or not, it doesn't matter if there is or not, the important thing is to lead Kunshang to lead troops to fight, Alama defeated his father Quintai more than ten years ago, and now Alama has taken refuge in the demon army, he can't fight with it, but if someone calls him the son of Alama , he must want to fight with it." ”

"There's no better way now, so let's give it a try." ”
