The alliance between Auden and Vasilian was established twenty years ago, and although the two sides had worked together many years ago, it was already a dusty history. www.biquge.info When Oden agreed to the proposal to form an alliance, Vasilian was relieved to have such a strong ally. Now, 20 years have passed since the alliance was concluded, and it is the longest alliance in the history of the two countries. Since there was no obvious conflict of interest between the two countries, Oden's commitment to control of the Northern Isles, and Vasilian's containment of St. Lucas, southern Oden, may have been one of the reasons for the enduring alliance.

Although this crusade against Miller was ostensibly initiated by Vassilian, in fact, Euden had already coveted Miller for a long time, only because Vasilian had formed an alliance with Miller ten years ago, coupled with his own low troops, so he did not attack Miller for a long time. Alliances of alliances, whether they are their own alliances or not, will always damage relations with allies. Fortunately, the alliance between Vasilian and Miller, which had just been established for five years, broke down, and Euden put the plan of attacking Miller back on the agenda.

Unlike the great powers of Vasilian and St. Lucas, Oden was a small country in the cold zone, and although it was larger than Miller in the east, it was much more sparsely populated than Miller, and the fact that Oden's vanguard was only 3,000 men showed that the country was poorly populated. Although there are not many soldiers, due to the harsh climate and environment of Oden and the country's emphasis on military strength, the per capita strength of Oden soldiers is much stronger than that of other countries. Stan Arryn was able to conquer the north with just over a hundred troops, which was probably not much inferior to Vassilian's "Knights of Light" - of course, the dragons were not considered.

The seventh day after the departure of Oden's fleet.

But Yalais stood at the bow of the boat, letting the oncoming sea breeze ruffle her long hair, and he faced the endless sea ahead, but her eyes did not seem to look ahead, but she looked at the confusion in her heart.

Before leaving, Kyales had just passed her 18th birthday, and the way to celebrate was to have a good dinner at home with her blind mother. Since joining the Royal Guard at the age of 13, she has been able to spend less and less time at home with her mother. She was able to be admitted to the Royal Guard as such a young girl because she was the only one who survived the mutation, a battle in which even the strongest man in the kingdom, the captain of the Royal Guard, could not survive.

But Yalais wasn't pretty enough, but it was probably that she had never dressed herself seriously. Since she was 14 years old, there has been no shortage of people in the family who have come to propose marriage, but without exception, she has refused. Her way of doing things and communicating makes people think that she is as cold as ice, that she doesn't seem to know how to be flexible at all, and people almost never see a smile on her face, and they can't help but feel that she is simply the most representative of this cold country in this snowy land. When she was a little girl, she was never seen playing with her peers, when she was old enough to marry, she was never seen promising any marriage, and when she became a woman, she was never seen doing any of the things that a woman should do, such as threading needles and threads, weaving and embroidering, which never happened to her. All this shows that she is an unqualified woman, and her maverick and unruly behavior make her a lot of criticism, but it is this little girl who is criticized and discriminated against by people who leads the royal guard of the kingdom and has the important duty of protecting the royal family.

She is the strongest woman in the kingdom.

In the cabin, Prince Chloe casually took the wine glass handed by his attendant, and looked out the window at the back of Kyales. "As the only woman here, she is still a little beautiful, but she is a master who eats hard and does not eat soft. Prince Chloe muttered to himself, taking a sip of his wine, and slowly tilting his head to the attendant beside him in his sumptuous high-backed chair.

"Does that girl have a blind old mother who lives in Cado?" asked Chloe.

"Sir Love, it is said that she goes to Cardo every few days, and must have come home to see her mother...... "The squire replied tremblingly.

"Looks like we can catch her underbelly!" Chloe laughed, his complexion paling in the dim candlelight, a contrast that made him seem to be another worldly being, exuding a cold aura. He put the glass down and tapped his finger on the table, which seemed to be as thin as a skeleton, and on which were several rings encrusted with precious stones. "Sooner or later she will be mine, and everything in this kingdom will be mine sooner or later. ”

Prince Chloe was only twenty-four years old, the youngest son of King Stan Arryn. Growing up in a pile of gold coins, Chloe never knew what suffering was, and he believed that everything in the kingdom belonged to him, and that all people's lives belonged to him, and that people should serve him and be loyal to him for granted, and that he was destined to be different from these pariahs from birth. When he was nine years old, a farmer injured his pet wolfdog, and he ordered the farmer's family to be slaughtered, which was later disguised by the king as a burglary to cover Crow's evil deeds. If Chloe was arrogant before, then he has been even more invincible since the death of the eldest prince. Since the second prince died not long after he was born, after the eldest prince was killed in the battle five years earlier, he became the most powerful heir to the throne, and everything in the kingdom belonged to him more justifiably.

Stan Arryn knew most of Chloe's misdeeds, but he always pretended not to see them, and then came to clean up the mess for Chloe. The king knew that too much indulgence would make him lose the popularity and prestige of Chloe, but he never disciplined Chloe for any of his actions, perhaps because he was obsessed with Chloe's deceased mother. Stan Arryn rose to the throne through a coup d'état, and in his later years he became increasingly suspicious of the people around him, fearing that what he had done would happen to him.

At that time, the former king of Oden, Stan Arryn's cousin, Thorne Arryn, was a mediocre and wanton increase in taxes, only for his own pleasure, regardless of the threat from the north, but sent his cousin to the south to fight in Vasilian many times. Thorne, knowing that his cousin was far superior to his own, feared that he would endanger his throne and had no chance of getting rid of him, so he sent him to the powerful Vasilian in the south many times, hoping to remove this great obstacle for himself by the hand of another country, and to make him die for his country without attracting criticism. But who knew that he was known as the "Ice Ghost", he won many battles and made great achievements, and the people's morale soared, but it was even more unfavorable to himself.

Twenty years ago, Stan Arryn seized the opportunity to stage a coup d'état and became King of Oden, while his cousin Thorne was executed and nailed to the cheers of the people. After the coup, Stan quickly consolidated his people and established an alliance with Vassilian, and Oden ushered in the most prosperous and stable period in nearly a century.

But now Stan Arryn is no longer the man who conquered the north in the past, perhaps power and time have corrupted him, perhaps suspicion and scheming have destroyed his conscience, and this crusade against Miller may be his last chance to win back the hearts and prestige of the people in his lifetime.

But Yalais has been a member of the Royal Guard for five years, and in these five years she has risen from a newcomer to a captain, and the soldiers of the Guards who looked down on her at first are now in awe of him, but many of these three thousand elite soldiers have been transferred from camps in other regions, although they have heard of the name of "Bow Saintess", but they have never seen and comprehended it, and naturally they have little respect for this little girl who suddenly became their own commander, and there are many who do not obey discipline.

In the cabin, a group of warriors transferred from Kuridel were complaining about the damn voyage and the so-called Commander.

"Three thousand, sail with a little girl for ten days, just to get to the enemy's territory to die, it is said that Miller's army is in the hundreds of thousands!" It was Theo, who had not been in the army for long, only a year in Currider, but he was soon promoted by the local governor for his outstanding performance, but here all his efforts have been in vain, and he is now no different from that of other soldiers.

"Even though I can beat 10, it's a bit difficult for me to beat 100!" Larry boasted. He was one of the commanders of the Legion in Kuridel, and although he liked to boast about his strength, his strength was not to be underestimated, and it is said that he once single-handedly suppressed a rebellion of more than twenty people, and he himself was only slightly injured.

"I said that the Commander-in-Chief should be Larry, you should be the one!, what is that 'Sir Love', isn't it just that you can shoot arrows, Larry, you can shoot more than her!" said Lees, as he drank his beer, laughed. Lees is Larry's best friend in Curridl.

"That's right, the royal guard actually chose a little doll with hair that hasn't grown up to be the captain, it seems that the highest strength of the kingdom capital is only like this, I'm afraid it depends on some kind of relationship to get mixed up!" Dill agreed. He is a veteran of Kuridel, who has been in his thirties for more than ten years without any transfer or promotion.

"Hey, be quiet, it's not good to be heard!" Bart said cautiously.

"What? can this little girl still cut me?" Larry also began to smugly, and smiled unreservedly: "As the only woman on this ship, shouldn't she say something? As our commander, her subordinates have physical problems to solve, she should also contribute!" After saying that, everyone laughed with him.

All this was clearly heard by Koyales, who was leaning against the window outside the cabin at the moment, and she only frowned, and then walked away to inspect the others.

The next morning, Kyales went to the group of warriors from Kuridel and asked Larry and Theo to come out of the ranks.

"Your name is Larry, aren't you??," Kyales said coldly with a blank face, "And you're Theo, right? I heard that you were quite active when you were in Curridel?" At this time, Kyales, she couldn't tell that she was only an eighteen-year-old girl, and her demeanor and the majesty contained in her words were completely like a battle-hardened general training a group of casual recruits.

"Why, can't you help us with our physiology?" Larry scoffed.

"No, I'm just asking you to be my sparring partner and give a demonstration to the fighters. But Yalais spoke in a calm tone, without forgetting honorifics, and on the surface it seemed humble but actually more lethal.

"Sparring?" Theo wondered.

"Yes, today I want the warriors to show how they can fight the enemy and win when they lose their weapons. ”

Larry was stunned for a moment, thinking that this little girl was deliberately trying to fix herself, and thinking that this was also an opportunity for him to teach her to show her strength, he smiled and gladly accepted Koyales's proposal. "Well, we're happy to accompany you!"

The soldiers who had been patrolling or lining up in the perimeter before were all gathered around now, all wanting to witness this good show with their own eyes, and those soldiers who did not obey the discipline were counting on Koyales's foolishness, while those veterans who knew the strength of the commander had already known that the result was no suspense.

"The rules are very simple, that is, there are no rules, how do you try your best to kill the enemy in real battles, how do you treat me now, all weapons and physical attacks are okay, sneak attacks and flanking attacks are no problem. Keales said, taking a few steps back and keeping a distance from the two of them, before signaling for the battle to begin.

Larry thought that the little girl was too arrogant to accidentally hurt her, so he rushed forward without using any weapons, and he moved like a rabbit with great agility, and in an instant he rushed in front of Koyales. He swept his long legs and tried to trip Kyales, but as soon as he stretched out his legs, Kyales lifted his feet and grabbed the flaws he had sent with both hands, and threw him out with all his might. Larry rolled sideways in the air a few times before holding his balance and holding his hands on the ground.

"You're at a good pace. Koales commented. These bland and calm words added a few fires to Larry's heart, who had not yet gotten up, and Larry motioned for Theo to fight back and forth with him, thinking that he didn't believe he could cure the little doll.

The two of them ran towards Koyales from two directions, their iron boots crunching the planks, and the onlookers held their breath. Perhaps it was Kyales's thin body that provided her advantage, and she easily dodged their fists, pushing their elbows lightly, causing both of them to hit each other in the face.

"You all take out the weapons you are good at, the purpose of this drill is not to play games with you. But Yales said to the two men on the ground, who were still a little dazed.

Larry felt that he had been greatly insulted, but in his heart he began to recognize the strength of this girl, and at the same time wondered where this doll had cultivated this ability. He grabbed a sharp knife, while Theo chose a spear, and they stood on the left and right sides of Koales, staging for the final attack.

Larry took the lead in attacking Koyales, he used his speed advantage brilliantly, and quickly arrived in front of Koyales, he was still afraid that he would hurt Keyales, and subconsciously slashed at Keyales with the back of his knife. When the knife swung at Kryles' chest, she reacted quickly, clasping Larry's right hand with her left hand, and pressing Larry's wrist so hard that he let go of his grip in pain. But Larry wasn't easy to deal with, and he caught the falling knife with his left hand in time, ready for a second round of attacks. At this time, Theo, who was wielding a spear, also rushed over, he launched an attack on Koyales's back, and swept the spear against it, but Koyales had already sensed the movement behind him, and jumped up the moment his spear was shot, the spear failed to hit Koyales, but swept to Larry, who was about to attack with his left hand, Larry was hit in the calf by the wooden stick of the spear, and immediately fell to his knees in pain.

"Larry, you have a good talent for fighting, but you have too many unnecessary moves, so it's full of flaws. In addition, the two of you do not have the right cooperation in the flanking attack, first of all, from the choice of weapons, the swing range of the spear is too large, and the attack speed is not enough, the auxiliary effect is not ideal for the sharp knife, and secondly, your sense of cooperation and cooperation are too poor, it will have the opposite effect, if it wasn't for Theo's attack at that time, Larry could have formed a threatening attack. As she analyzed their performance, she dodged Theo's continued spear attacks, and Larry had already given up on resisting and rubbed his swollen calves. "For an enemy with a sword, you can choke his wrist joints so that he can't hold the weapon, while for two-handed weapons such as spears, tomahawks, and broadswords, because of their slow attack speed and poor quick reaction, they can seize the gap in time to rush to finish the enemy at close range after successfully dodging the enemy's attack. But Arales said as she quickly dodged Theo's swing, and in an instant it was close to an elbow that made Theo give up the fight.

After the battle, Kyales was still breathing smoothly, and there was not even a drop of sweat on her body, which was not because the weather was too cold, because Larry and Theo, who were sitting on the ground, were already covered in sweat, as if they had just been fished out of the sea, and their faces were unbearable. But Jalais stepped forward and picked up the two men on the ground, ordered some plasters to be handed them, and told them to go back and take good care of them. This battle was an eye-opener for the onlookers, and even the veterans who had already known the strength of Koyales were amazed, and their admiration for her increased by three points.

Through this demonstration, Koyales succeeded in convincing the disobedient warriors, and also successfully increased her prestige, although only the soldiers on the main ship where Koyales was able to witness this morning exercise were able to witness this morning exercise, but the soldiers of the other ships later learned more or less about the matter.

It's not easy to convince people.

Two days later.

It's been ten days since we departed from Whispering Bay, and the voyage has been normal these days, with nothing out of the ordinary. In the past few days, the attitude of the warriors towards Kyales has also improved greatly, and Prince Chloe is still hiding in the cabin all day long, and the warriors can hardly see him.

Bart, the warrior of Kulidel, was now leaning against the side of the ship, complaining to his comrades about the damn weather.

"-, what the hell is it colder than ours!" Bart's hometown is in Ritz, north of Oden, an extremely cold town further north than Curridel, and the coldest in Oden. As he spoke, an icy aura seemed to begin to emanate from the air, making people feel even colder, and Bart involuntarily sneezed, "If we go on like this, we won't ...... before we land" He didn't finish the sentence, he didn't think that his life was going to end here, and that unfinished sentence would be his last thing to be left over. What happened in that moment was something that no one could have predicted, it was too sudden, and beyond their comprehension - only to see Bart pierced through his chest with a blood-red claw, and his face was still full of the last horror and incomprehension of life.

"Ahhhh!!h Blood poured out of his piercing chest, staining the ground red, and the real murderer was now gone.

"Calm me down! The herald sends a battle signal to the other ships, and they are all in combat mode! See the enemy clearly and then counterattack!" But Yalais gave the order and ran to the place of the incident, but they had no idea what they were facing at the moment - a sudden fog obscured their view.

In the next second, screams and wind pierced the sky, and the enemy seemed to be attacking from all directions, and the fleet was still in the middle of the sea, which made Koyales realize that they couldn't be facing humans. Kyales was still talking about seeing the enemy clearly, but when Nayakika broke through the fog and attacked Kyales, the terrifying and hideous thing in front of her made her subconsciously weaken her legs and take a few steps back.

"What the hell is that?!"
