"Surround them!"

"Kill them all!

The bloody battle lasted a full four hours before it ended. Eventually, under the combined command of Rod, Caroline, Giger, and Edmund, the Northern Coalition surrounded the Greenskins in the middle and slaughtered them.

They paid a huge price, and after a battle, although thousands of green-skinned orcs and goblins were killed, the northern coalition also lost more than a thousand soldiers, and more than a thousand people were injured to varying degrees. The number of wounded and killed accounted for a third of the entire force.

What is even more desperate is that after the war, when the soldiers inspected the battlefield and examined the corpses, they found that there were no green-skinned high-ranking officers in them. In other words, neither Ironhide himself, nor Ironskin's personal guards, participated in this battle. This means that this is most likely just a separate Greenskin tribe that is not part of the Iron Army at all. Kislev's troops had a hard time winning against such a single tribe, and how could they have a chance of victory when they encountered a legion led by Grimg himself? This is so simple that even ordinary soldiers know it......

They were victorious, but there was no laughter, they were victorious, and yet there was not even a feast for celebration.

......

When Grimg Ironhide heard the news that an entire Greenskin tribe had been slaughtered, it was already half a month later, and the Greenskins army, which was about to attack the capital of Kislev, under the leadership of the leader, made another strange turn and slaughtered to the north...... This is inconceivable for human beings.

The orcs are almost leveling the country, the whole of Kislev is struggling, the capital has less than 5,000 troops, the food reserves in the city are insufficient, and the morale of the army is low, in this case, as long as Iron Sheet orders the siege of the city, in less than a day, the city of Kislev will be destroyed. Even the Ice Queen couldn't stop him......

However, at this critical juncture, Grimug Ironhide once again reversed his head and rushed north...... Is it a problem with the braincase? Or is it a psychotic episode? Ironhide did just that...... Then, all the orcs and goblins began to follow their leader's turn and attack the north...... This is the Greenskin...... A race that thinks completely different from humans......

The retreat of the greenskins gave Kislev a moment of respite, and Caterina stepped down from her throne, her tense nerves finally relaxing for a moment.

However, then there are a whole bunch of problems that come with the war -

"There are not enough grain reserves ......"

"Unemployed homeless people began to smash shops and rob passers-by......"

"Trade has been interrupted for months, all kinds of goods are unsalable, and goods from outside the world cannot be delivered. ”

"The snow hasn't completely melted yet, spring is coming to an end! It's too late to sow seeds! Oh my God, it's a vicious circle!"

In the palace, all kinds of bad news are conveyed every day, even the Ice Queen can't handle so many tricky things at the same time, and the entire Bandaga Palace is in chaos. The troops defending the city were moved to the palace to be on guard, ready to crush the hungry mob......

......

"Why are we just sitting here waiting?!"

Kislev City, Snow Eagle Army Barracks. Young Boris Boca and his father Vladimir sat in the lounge drinking a little wine, their faces a little ugly, and the old general Vladimir seemed to have not slept for several nights, and his pale face was scorched with a hint of burnt. And the young Boris was even more depressed.

With the strength of his drink, he couldn't help but mention to his father the current situation - when the Northern Coalition forces were fighting bloodily at Grizzly Bear, Kislev's regular army was indifferent. Now, when the Greenskins march north to kill Rhodes, Kislev's regular army remains indifferent. OK

Boris wanted to know that although he had not seen this person with his own eyes, everyone was saying that he was a true chosen son, a true lord of the north. More than once he lured the iron sheet to the north, keeping Kislev. For such a person, why is Kislev, who is much more protected, indifferent?

Boris's doubts contrasted sharply with his father's silence.

In fact, his father, Vladimir, did not mention it to the queen, and more than once, he proposed to the Ice Queen to go north with the archery army to support Rhodes in the battle. However, what he got was the queen's indifference and even anger. The Snow Queen's reply was very simple - the Shooting Corps was to garrison the capital, and it must not be transferred to the periphery.

Vladimir, like his son Boris, was born for glory as a real military man. However, the tsar's order was not violated. Caterina asked all the troops to stand by in the city, and they had to obey such orders. Alcohol can dispel sorrow and temporarily numb oneself, but when you wake up, the pain and self-blame still exist.

"Father?"

Boris asked, his voice unconsciously getting louder. If it weren't for the fact that there were only two of them in the lounge, Vladimir would have stopped his son's impulsive behavior.

"Yes, sit here and wait. ”

Vladimir sighed. He grabbed the flask and drank it down in one gulp. The remnants of the liquor spilled on the beard, crystal clear.

"I'd rather rush out and fight Greenskin, even if I die ......"

"You will die a senseless death. ”

Boris's high spirits were dismissed by his father Vladimir with a word.

"Father, do you know? I suddenly envied the warriors of the North. ”

Boris looked solemn.

But the father still did not speak, and refused all the demands of his son with silence.

But Boris couldn't contain his inner feelings......

"At least they can fight like a true warrior, and even if they shed blood, they never run away. It's like the White Bear Lord Rhodes that everyone sings. I wanted to be one of his men more and more. ”

"Enough!"

Vladimir finally got angry. He knew that his son's words were right, however, some things were not so simple. There are some things that you can't say even if you think so in your heart. Their family has been loyal to Tsar Kislev for generations, and no matter how great or heroic the lord of the north is, he is only a lord after all. A member of the member lord's subordinates, this kind of thing cannot be said nonsense.

Boris turned his head and slammed his fist into the wall with resentment. He has a lot of emotions that he can't release.

This punch made Vladimir feel distressed. He got up silently from his seat, walked behind his son, and stroked his son's shoulder with his big thick hand, but he stopped talking.

In fact, he still has a lot to say, those more cruel realities, he thinks his son has not thought about it...... There is a famine and mob rampant in the city of Kislev. The Ice Queen has a deeper purpose of keeping the Marksmen firmly at her side, not just to defend the city, but to become the last line of defense to deter the populace once the mob escalates and becomes uncontrollable. Sadly, as a general of the legion, you can't lead your troops to fight against foreign enemies, but you have to stay in the city and command your troops to fight against and even slaughter unarmed civilians...... Vladimir was full of contradictions, he thought, his son Boris was even more unprepared for this, after all, he was still a child......
