To the north of the kingdom of Rohir is the extreme north, which is frozen all year round and shrouded in ice and snow and cold winds, and is in a situation of biting cold winds all year round. It's famously no-man's-land, and even the bravest adventurers haven't been able to set foot in it.

Of course, a large part of the reason is because of some strange things here, which have been put under martial law by the kingdom.

The Gaurso Mountains run from east to west, high mountains that block the cold snaps from the far north. There was only one place for the kingdom to worry about, and that was the famous Black Ice Valley, the only gateway between the Far North and Middle-earth. Here, the kingdom of Rothil built a huge fortress, the Wall of Desperation.

Dating back to the Imperial Age, this fortress has passed through several Lords of Rothschild and is a fortress for the kingdom and its empire against the strange creatures of the Far North.

After a decades-old renovation, it was also equipped with a steam tower and artillery. The addition of heating and electricity greatly improved the living conditions of the garrison and allowed the kingdom to maintain the operation of the fortress with fewer troops.

Here, a force of tens of thousands and the Snow Wolf Knights are stationed all year round. The fifteen-year-old white wolf princess, Ferlian Vinoer. Norman Norlan is the commander-in-chief here.

After being wounded at the Battle of the Rhine, Flenervinoel went to meet her father, the contemporary king of the kingdom of Rothsier, Petrov. Norman Rolland.

King Petrov was arguably an extremely capable king, and under his rule, the kingdom of Rothil rapidly developed its own steam industry, adjusting its previous strategy centered on the military industry, and began to develop in a balanced manner. As the steam pipes opened into the homes of the common people, King Petrov was embraced by the citizens of the kingdom.

However, all this came at the cost of suppressing a part of the nobility and capitalists of the kingdom. These people will certainly not give up their revenge on the royal family.

King Petrov had three sons and one daughter. Maybe it's because everything in the world is balanced. The power of his three sons could not enter his eyes. He also had only one daughter, and Philian Vinoel made him feel pleased. The king entrusted her with great military power.

Although as the heir of the empire, the eldest sister of the remaining three princes. Since they were trained in the barracks since childhood, their feelings are extremely weak. Plus the provocation of some people with ulterior motives. As a result, the two sides have fierce contradictions.

Under the pressure of the king, they were able to avoid open conflict for the time being. But as you can imagine, the battle in the dark will not stop for a moment.

Even without the instructions of the White Wolf Princess or the three princes, the people under their command would do their own thing.

Not to mention, if the king dies suddenly, it is likely to be the day of the outbreak of civil war in the kingdom.

This time, Ferlian Vinoel was in distress, and it was very likely that it was a ploy by the three princes.

。

The center of the kingdom of Rothschild, the residence of the royal family, the White House.

The snow-white palace complex is built of white heavy stones, and has an extremely long history. The interior is different from its clean appearance, luxurious and refined, with paintings by famous painters from all over the kingdom decorating its countless corridors, and various gold, silverware and porcelain from the East dotting it.

Led by the maid, Fellianvinoel arrived at the palace where the king had summoned his ministers.

Guards in snow-colored armor pushed the door open and informed them of the identity of the comer.

At this time there were only kings, princesses and the prime minister of the kingdom Levsky.

"Fei Lian." Petrov sat on the throne.

"Father." Ferlian Vinoel bowed her head respectfully. She admired her father. This is one of the few people she admires alive.

"You're doing well in the Rhine Kingdom."

"Thank you for the compliment, but I don't feel like I'm doing well enough."

"Don't be so yourself, time will make you grow."

"But time waits for no one, father."

“。。。 Alas... Petrov sighed, "The biggest regret in my life is that I am not satisfied with having you, hoping for a boy to inherit my kingdom, and I ended up with three bastards." ”

Felian Vinolle didn't answer. Even though they hate her three younger brothers, just like her father, they cherish their family very much.

"You also know that no matter how ruthless and cold-blooded the father is, he can't do anything to his son, so it's hard for you."

The king apparently knew that there were still such disloyal people in the Snow Wolf Knights, who had put the princess and the giant wolf beast together in the Battle of the Rhine, hoping to kill them with a sword.

"No need to do that, father. These are all my responsibilities and missions. ”

"Your mother and I have helped you control the military all these years in the hope that the kingdom will have a smooth time. But now there's a hard thing. ”

"What's so difficult, father?"

"The Far North will have a beast tide in the near future. I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to weaken the power of those people while defending against the beast tide alone. If it's best, catch the evidence of their incrimination. ”

For enemies who are not family members, all means will be used without hesitation.

“。。。 Are you sure you want me to be the commander of this beast tide? Felenvianoer looked up and asked with some solemnity.

In the Far North, for some reason, there is a beast tide every five years, consisting of a large number of strange things. No one knows how these things spawned deep in the ice fields where life could not exist.

"Yes. This feat of resisting the tide of beasts will greatly enhance your prestige among the people, and it will also allow you to completely win the support of those military nobles. ”

"Understood, father." Felianvinoel no longer questioned her father's decision.

"Stand down."

"Yes, father."

。

After Ferlenovier left.

"Levsky."

"Your Majesty." Levsky came to the king and bowed his head.

"Be ready to ask for help from the Holy Country."

Levsky looked up at Petrov abruptly.

"Your Majesty, why is this?"

"This time the beast tide is not the same as before. Based on the speculation of the royal advisers, we can't resist it. ”

"This, this, what about Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

"If you don't send Felian Vinoer, those people won't be fooled."

"But, the safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess...

"Don't worry, I've sent the Guards. Moreover, the Holy Kingdom will spare no effort to save her. ”

“。。。 I beg your pardon, how can you trust the people of the Holy Kingdom? They wish the princess died there, and then sit back and watch the kingdom break out in a civil war! ”

"Ferlian Vinolle is betrothed to be married to the head of their Unified Knights."

"What!? When did this happen!? Your Majesty, think again! Ignoring etiquette, Levsky hurriedly walked forward a few steps before remembering his rudeness and retreating again.

"Don't get excited, Levsky. The Holy Kingdom is not monolithic, and there are divisions among them. I just added a fire so that it could burn. This was planned by your father and my father. Now, it's time for us to make it happen. ”

"But, Your Majesty, the Holy Kingdom is not just what it seems, they have too many secrets that are not yet known. Not even our most elite spies could touch what was hiding in the dark. ”

"We're just reaping the benefits. Let the Holy Kingdom break out into a civil war and profit from it. ”

"But, this marriage contract?"

"Don't worry. This time I asked for help from the Holy Kingdom, and they would definitely send the Unified Knights, and when the time came, they would send someone to see what kind of person this leader was. If it's not good, it's okay, I won't let him touch my daughter. ”

"What if it was good..."

"If it's good, then what's more? They fought side by side in the Desperate Wall Fortress, and what bond could last longer than a comradeship? Accept the last bit of your father's legacy and worry about it again. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Levsky bowed and left the palace.

。

After a few days in the White House, Ferenville took the steam train directly to the Desperate Wall Fortress.

During this time, she was not able to meet her brothers.

In order to fend off the coming beast tide, the kingdom of Rothschild sent three additional infantry divisions and four steam armored knights, as well as a large amount of supplies. Most of them are forces that belong to that part of the people. However, surrounded by the garrison legions, these people did not dare to move.

In order to better command the troops and prevent some people from making small moves, Philenovier scattered these reinforcements and planted them in the fortress troops. Most of the officers were placed in some unimportant positions.

Scouts were sent to the ice fields to give early warning, while the rest of the troops began to inspect artillery and steam pipes, familiarizing themselves with the fortress environment and their new commander.

Since she was given a heavy responsibility by her father this time, Felian Vinoel used two hundred percent of her energy to deal with this beast tide. She would gather the officers every day to familiarize herself with the situation of the fortress and the cases of dealing with the beast tide over the years.

She will also think about various emergencies and countermeasures with her henchmen.

。

Kochagin was the captain of the Ninth Reconnaissance Team. He and his team members were dressed in special uniforms. The uniform had a tiny steam engine, which was extremely capable of providing power and heat; Carrying a ventilator on its back, it heats up the inhaled air slightly; There are also various small parts to seal the garment and avoid cold wind entry and heat loss as much as possible.

At this time, they hid in their tents and waited for dawn. Although they have lighting, the weather here will be so harsh that it will be difficult to walk until daylight comes.

In the tent was a portable iron bucket with a few pieces of reddish coal, which provided a pitiful amount of heat.

Khachagin lit it by the light of a flashlight and wrote a daily record. These records will be collected by the military department for the improvement of the equipment of the reconnaissance unit and the updating of the map of the ice field.

Just as he finished recording and was about to put the notebook back in his backpack, the ground began to vibrate slightly, and if it weren't for an old scout, the average person wouldn't have noticed. Kchakin's face changed, and he immediately blew the whistle to wake up his teammates. They quickly put away their tents, came to a small slope, and crawled on the ground.

Khachagin picked up the binoculars and looked into the distance. A surging black line appears on the horizon. It was a black ocean of countless strange things. Even though they were still far away, the fear that penetrated into the bone marrow made Kochakin's hands tremble.

"Beast tide! Shoot red flares with the highest alert level! Retreat! ”

With the roar of Kchakin, a soldier hurriedly loaded the flare and shot it into the air. As a burst of red light rose into the air, red points of light continued to rise in the distance, all the way to the point where the fortress could be observed.
