"They destroyed our defenses, destroyed our camps...... It took less than a quarter of an hour to ......"

"General Leonis told me to rush out and report the news, and the camp was soon gone. ”

"I was chased by a pack of wolf riders and escaped......"

......

"What about your honor? Damn it! You should go back to fight and die on the battlefield, you are not a coward at all!"

"Forget it, Lan Dao, he did the right thing. The soldier should obey the order, and it was Leonis who told him to run out and report the news. ”

In the Winter Palace of Ice and Snow, the fleeing guards trembled and reported to Caterina herself the situation on the front line. His words were full of nervousness and uneasiness, despair crept up on his face, and the look in his eyes, as if he had seen a terrible ghost, could not recover for a long time.

Caterina was stopped by Lan Dao's roar and rebuke, and her meaningful reply echoed through the hall, and everyone knew it. What the queen wants, she wants is loyalty and obedience. Obey orders, even if you are a coward.

"All right, soldier, go down. Go to the military office and rest in Sir Matlow will give you a new job, and you will report to the new legion, remember, you can't reveal a word of what you say here, otherwise, you know the consequences. ”

Caterina said, waving her hand and motioning for the soldier to go down first. She had important matters to discuss with the ministers around her.

As soon as the soldiers left, a strange atmosphere permeated the hall. The Greenskins invaded, and the dwarves were right. This is a catastrophe capable of destroying civilization. Kislev should have paid attention to it, and once again dispatched the elite of the kingdom to block the greenskins.

However...... Everyone knows that the Erengrad rebellion has just ended, and there is no way to restore the kingdom to its original strength in three years. And now, a new threat is looming. It was on the doorstep, and it would require a lot of money to recruit the legion again, which would undoubtedly be even worse for Kislev, who was already hungry and barren.

Caterina was thinking, everyone was thinking. They wouldn't be in a much better mood than that soldier. The smell of death was in the air. Catalina thought of the worst, she could summon her army of the undead to stop the Greenskins in Kislev. However, this legion has already appeared once, and is it a coincidence that the populace should be convinced again?

......

"Have you heard? The queen is going to war again. ”txt

"Well, I know. Here comes the greenskins, thousands. ”

In the corners of Kislev, nobles gather in private to whisper. Kislev, the northern snow country, is about to go to war with a foreign enemy again. This is not unusual for a country on the frontier of the Old World. However, the continuous vicious war has exhausted the last vestige of the country, which is not rich in the first place. When a large number of innocent middle classes were wiped out, the Ice Queen could not think of a better way to raise money. She could have increased the tax rate, but the people couldn't live anymore, and no matter how much pressure it put on, it might not need a foreign invasion, and the whole of Kislev would be in chaos. The kingdom, which is still strong on the surface, has long been riddled with holes inside.

In addition to the big nobles who still have family backgrounds, the other small nobles can be said to be in fear. Not to mention, the people only want food and clothing.

"Alas, there is no extra capital for the queen to squander. It is said that the treasury has long been in deficit and has not been able to fill it up yet. ”

"So you think even us are in danger?"

"Not really...... If the queen dares to do anything to us, half of the nobility of the country will rebel. Caterina did not dare to do this. She had to think about the consequences. We're just in Kislev, we don't have our own corps. On the periphery, which lord did not have his own army, and which great nobleman did not have his own mercenaries? Catalina dared to do this, which would inevitably cause even greater chaos than the events of Erlengrad. She didn't dare, I promise. In addition, the queen may not be surrounded by all her people......"

"You and I have to cooperate. Some intelligence to share. At least, those eyeliners aren't a secret anymore, are they?"

Under the pressure of the green-skinned army, everyone is in danger. When half of the petty nobles in Kislev were wiped out, the few remaining large families were worried about the coming war. They were not only worried about the destruction of their homes by orc invasions, but also the loss of their wealth.

Many people thought about the result, if Caterina wanted to fight this war, she would have to need more money, and at that time, she asked them to borrow money, what should they do? But who would dare to disobey the queen's request for money? Moreover, this time the name of asking for money is so high-sounding, it is to fight against the green-skinned army...... As long as it is Mrs. Kesley, it is the responsibility to participate, and if you have the money, you have the power to contribute, if you don't have the money, do you want to go to the battlefield in person?

......

Blackhammer Fort.

The town's recruiting office is crowded with young people eager to sign up for the army. It's like a big rally. The young people who came to sign up for the army were either full of vigor or confidence. From their enthusiastic faces, Rhodes saw their immaturity. It seems that the whole world, except for himself, no one knows the horror of the iron sheet.

If the last invasion of the Norscans, Rod was confident, then the appearance of the iron sheet this time is the one that Rod is most unsure of. Neither the army of the north nor the army of the queen could compete head-on with the Ironskin's legions. But everyone didn't seem to think so, instead, they still chose to trust their lord. Invest in this war, have money to contribute, and make a powerful contribution. Moreover, this time it was truly spontaneous by the whole people, and many people did not grasp the opportunity last time, so they thought that this time they would support their lords and support this war, so it is not difficult to understand that the scene is hot. This national boom is spontaneous, unlike the capital city of Kislev, where the population is forced to participate.

However, this time, how Rod wished they weren't so enthusiastic. Because they have no idea what they're going to face next. Those young people who are full of ambition, Rhodes dares to guarantee that once they meet the main force of the greenskins, it will not take three days for them to cry and go home...... But once you're on the march, won't be the last few to return? Like the Erlengrad Rebellion, the Black Hammer Castle's troops stayed out for a whole year.

But what if they knew? No one worries about it. Only the dwarves who had fled. They gathered together and talked about the recent disaster, which for them was a nightmare they didn't want to face again.
