Winter turns to spring, and the snow melts.

The wind puffed up the white tents, blew the snow-colored military flags, and in front of the tent of the legions that were about to depart, Boris bowed his head and pondered. The cold wind of the Northland blew against him, and his mood was cold, low.

The Snow Eagle Legion is about to set off for the North Legion to face the North. This is the order of the Ice Queen, and as a subject of this kingdom, he should obey the tsar's orders unconditionally. However, Boris hesitated. His mood was like a dark cloud overhead, gloomy. Why did Mrs. Kesley kill each other? He trusted the Ice Queen so much that he thought that a country needed to be controlled by a ruthless character like Katarina.

However, since the riots in the capital, Boris's confidence has been shaken, and is a tsar who turns his guns on his own people really a good tsar? Don't they try to live? No, they don't even have a place to live. Their demands were so legitimate, but they were slaughtered indiscriminately by the army. The child who was weeping bitterly in the street holding his mother's corpse reflected his swollen face in the firelight. Today, that image is still in front of Boris's eyes.

Also, that Rod. What had he done that deserved the Queen's efforts to kill him? I had only heard that the lord of the North named Rod Lawne had resisted the invasion of the northern barbarians in his territory, fought with the greenskinned orcs several times his size, and even risked his life to lead the greenskinned army north to the Troll Mountain. In Kislev, everything that Queen Caterina did not do, was done by a small lord of the north. So much for. If you were a native of the North, you would also support Rhodes as king.

However, he lives in the city of Kislev. The oath of allegiance is a lifelong affair, but if the person you swear allegiance to is a tyrant, a dumb king, then what should you choose? Boris was confused and confused.

Sometimes, he really didn't understand his father's behavior. Why do you do this when it's obviously wrong? Just like that day, when you commanded the army to encircle and massacre civilians...... This is obviously wrong, why, why do you still do this when you respect and look up to your father?

He didn't know the answer anymore, because the legion was out again. Walking on the thin snow, I went to the north, and also walked towards the unknown fate.

......

Osdrosk Fortress is a military fortress located in the lower reaches of the Twin Rivers, and to the north, it is the land of the north. The Snow Eagle Legion is stationed here, and they must repair here first, wait for the reconnaissance cavalry to return, report the information, and then continue north. Since Rhodes became king in the North, almost all of his eyeliner has been eradicated, and those secret police have become funny existences at the moment.

"Father's ......"

"Something?"

Boris's mixed emotions were written on his face, and Vladimir felt them almost immediately.

"Hmm. I feel like we're going further and further down the wrong path. ”

He finally spoke, his trembling voice felt even to himself. Boris wants to go back in time, to the glorious times of the past. When he was a child, his father took him on a war in the north and south, and at that time, their enemies were the beastmen, the greenskins, and the ratmen...... They fought to defend the country. And now, their opponents have become their own. Yes, in Boris's eyes, the North is not a separate group, they belong to the Kislev, they are also Mrs. Kisli. Moreover, the people of the North are more worthy of respect, how much they have sacrificed for this country over the centuries. And now, he wants to target these people who have shed blood for the country......

"The wrong path?" the father paused for a moment, raised his brow, and looked at his child helplessly. "I know what you're trying to say, kid, but the world isn't as simple as you think. What's right, what's wrong, is there an answer? No. There is no right or wrong in what we do now, and we will only know it in a few years. ”

Vladimir said with a sigh.

What he wants to say is that neither Rhodes nor the Ice Queen can guarantee that either of them will be good or bad for the country if they are the leaders. At this stage, Rhodes seems to be more like Mingjun, however, power and desire and human corruption are everywhere and all the time. Love to nibble on books

"Father, I don't understand those profound truths, I just know that we shouldn't fight against our own people. They are also human, and they once defended the country. If it weren't for Rhodes, two years ago, the Greenskins would have crushed Kislev to the ground. We've faced them, haven't we?"

Boris is stubborn.

Vladimir pondered, stretched out his big rough hands and put them on his son's shoulders—

"So I'm going to go to the northern camp tomorrow and interview with Rhodes. ”

His voice was filled with sadness, helplessness and regret. Boris had never seen his father look so melancholy, he remembered him as a tall man, his shoulders could bear this family, this family, he could shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the country, and the soldiers trusted him and respected him. He is a man to rely on. But at this moment, my father showed only exhaustion. His eye sockets were sunken, and the sun shone on his face, casting deep shadows.

"But the Scout Cavalry hasn't returned yet. ”

Boris asked, puzzled.

"The Scout Cavalry has long since returned. ”

Father glanced out the window and whispered.

"But in case Rhodes makes ......"

"He won't, and he won't dare. I've studied the experiences of this so-called king of the North, and his rise from a small lord of the North to where he is today is largely due to prestige. Prestige needs to be maintained, and killing or imprisoning it is not a means of honor, but on the contrary, it will discredit him. ”

Vladimir pursed his dry lips and put his hands on the shoulders of his son Boris—

"Of course, if Rod really did it. You're going to take on the responsibility of becoming the new leader of the Snow Eagle Legion, leading it for me. ”

Boris's face was full of sorrow. His gaze was as melancholy as his father's.

"Well, don't worry too much. My son, Rod, is the champion of Father Ursa and the darling of Thor. The person whom the gods fancy is by no means a villain with a dark heart. ”

Father Vladimir said lightly. After saying that, he took off the horn of the eagle from his waist and handed it into the hands of young Boris.

"Take it, the Snow Eagle Legion is with you. ”

Boris took the horn, and he wanted to say that he wanted to be with his father, but the words came to his lips and swallowed back. Because from his father's face, he saw that resoluteness and confidence.
