About five hours later, the heavy snow predicted by the Chaos Wizard had indeed fallen on the grassland. With the sound of the howling wind, the sky sprinkled hundreds of millions of cold and soft snowflakes like catkins on this war-torn land. It didn't take long for the sky and the earth to become white, as if everything had merged into this endless gray and white.

Heavy snow and storms were detrimental to the large armies of field marches, the ranks were easily scattered, and the soldiers were easily frostbitten. However, this army going north does not have to worry about these things at present------- the reason is very simple, they have entered the field camp left by Marshal Yang when he led the army to the north, and set up tents on the earthen walls and ground nests left after pulling out the camp, arranged defenses, and lit bonfires.

Prepare to camp for the night. Take a break when it's time to rest, there's no need to take risks now.

These continuous city-like fortified camps were built in strict accordance with the Emperor's [***] Law and Holy Code, with strong trenches, horse-repellent wood, earthen walls, watchtowers, and one every twenty or thirty leagues. In fact, the continuous military stations in the south were all relics left by the imperial army when they camped north, but they were later heightened and strengthened by the remaining troops and dug wide trenches.

"This snowflake is so beautiful! It's the first time I've seen such a spectacular sight. The last time it snowed was at night, I missed it, and I won't miss it this time, huh!"

Catherine smirked around in the snow, her golden heeled boots treading the ground that had covered a two-inch layer of snowflakes with excitement on her face. As a warrior from the warmth and heat of the south, Tyril had never seen heavy snow before, so she was quite excited. After all, Hyde's brutal cousin is actually a very playful girl, like a curious kitten.

"My sister, it's cooling down a lot now, don't you wear more clothes?"

Hyde took off his heavy snowflake-stained cape, smiled at his lively sister, and offered a little care. Now that the soldiers had entered their tents or climbed the walls, and no one was outside to wander around, Catherine in golden armor stood out in the twilight, her red curls tied in a double ponytail jumping around like a campfire in the snow and ice, visible from afar.

"First of all, I would like to thank you for your concern for me, my dear Lord of God. However, you may have forgotten that your sister is a mid-level mage who has mastered the Gulna Metallic Wind, which may not be as fiery as the Aksha's fiery wind, but it is still a small cold to deal with. ”

Catherine grinned and lifted her plump breasts, shook them twice, and then flicked her fingers and flicked a small magical aura with a metallic sheen towards Hyde. Her eyes were full of slyness.

"You see, this is a special effect spell I use to increase the defense of my metal armor and shield. With this effect, the physical defense of your armor can be increased by at least 50% in an hour and a half, and the magic defense effect can also be increased by at least 30%, and it can also have a little thermal insulation effect!

In order to prevent Hyde from misunderstanding, the beautiful girl with two red ponytails jumped over with a smile and unceremoniously hooked her bare arms around her young cousin's neck, her voice sweet and charming, like a beating fire in the cold wind and snow.

"Thank you for your concern, my sister Catherine. I'm just about to take Tenan and them out on patrol, and your magic aura should be useful. By the way, how many people can you bless with this kind of magical defense at one time? I would like to ask you to strengthen the comrades on the patrol, it should be very useful. ”

Hyde blushed a little from being squeezed by Catherine's huge boobs. He pushed the fiery cousin away as gently as he could, thanking her and asking her about the scale of her magical effect. Whether it is Sajesky's Ugol riders or the Sin Warriors led by Tenan, almost all of them are lightly armored soldiers in light armor, and it should be of great help if they can get Catherine's blessing magic during combat readiness patrols.

"When I'm happy, this magical effect that lasts for more than an hour can bless the size of thirty or forty breastplates and arm guards at a time. But if I don't like it, then I can only bless two at most! Hmph! I know how much it means to make me happy! My dear cousin! Well, do you want to ......?"

Catherine said as she twisted her curvaceous body, deliberately making one seductive pose after another. In the blink of an eye, the golden-armored girl with the red double ponytail approached Hyde again, and her pink lips with a hot breath were close to Hyde's ear, almost kissing.

"Sister, it's inappropriate for you to do this. Because you are my own cousin, and your grandfather is my maternal grandfather's. So, I'm going to ask you to be solemn now, okay?"

Hyde smiled wryly and pushed Catherine away, admonishing her unrestrained and bold sister in the most solemn voice possible. Since her departure, Catherine's provocative behavior has been repeated, which has caused Hyde a lot of headaches. Although he is not an ascetic, he also does not want to have trouble with his own cousin. Luckily, Catherine would normally drag Frey to sleep at night, and didn't do anything closer to Hyde.

"Well, you know, your sister and I have twelve first-class boyfriends! and twice as many girlfriends! My dear cousin doesn't know the civic sentiments of Tyril! and I've toppled your little lover......"

As the red-haired and golden-armored girl was triumphantly bragging about her excellent friendship skills, a gentle voice interrupted Catherine's triumphant voice. A slender figure suddenly emerged from behind her, hugging the beautiful body of the cheerful princess, with the smell of the wind.

"My dear princess, Catherine, stop making fun of His Highness Hyde, he is actually a very shy man at heart. You're his sister, and you shouldn't have confused him like that. ”

With this gentle voice, Frey's beautiful face appeared behind Catherine, her cheek pressed against Catherine's, and her hands wrapped around Catherine's plump breasts. Surprisingly, the beautiful girl with a short black ponytail kissed Catherine on the cheek without hesitation, and then put her slender fingers into the red-haired girl's crescent-shaped breastplate and rubbed them carefully. In the blink of an eye, Catherine was flushed, as honest as a deflated ball.

"Frey, you arrived in time, I need to thank you. Also, it seems that my sister's words need to be listened to in reverse. ”

Hyde couldn't help but laugh, thanks to Frey, this twisting and turning comedy has finally come to an end, and his difficult sister finally has a nemesis. It was clear that during these nights, Frey was the victor, and she managed to subdue the princess of Tubaro, the so-called "Jewel of the Dust".

"Thank you for the compliment, although it may be a bit presumptuous, but it was Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine who attacked me the night before yesterday, and I had to fight back with a little skill, but it pleased her, so I don't think Her Highness Hyde blames me either. By the way, do you have any instructions for the next step? My Highness?"

Frey laughed too, with a happy glint between her brows, and shook her black ponytail proudly. And Catherine lay down in her arms like a nice kitten, making some strange noises, and all the sharpness vanished.

"Well, now you take my sister back to your tent, and I'll trouble this good sister of mine to help me before I take Tenan and them on patrol. ”

Hyde straightened the fur collar of his cloak and replied to Frey in a more serious manner, that it was about to set off on a mission, and it was no longer time to laugh.

About an hour later, Hyde, along with three officers, Tenan, Marshall, and Sajesky, as well as dozens of Ugol and Sin riders in light armor and thick fur hats, rode together on horseback across the snowy steppe for their last routine perimeter patrol before nightfall. Most of their armor glowed with a special metallic sheen, which was naturally due to Catherine's magical aura.

Patrolling the perimeter in the snow and wind is a very delicate thing, and it must be carried out by people who are familiar with the environment and climate of the Northlands, so all the Tubaros and the people of the southern principalities are excluded. This was not discrimination, but because in the snowstorm, even if the southerners did not suffer frostbite, it was difficult to find their way back to the camp, let alone find the enemy. So even though Catherine yelled that she would follow the warriors on an adventure, Hyde put on a straight face and put on an attitude that the military order could not be violated, and firmly left her behind.

"Originally, several knights of the Mountain Lion Knights also planned to come with us, but I don't think they should come. On such a snowy day, the heavily armored war horses they are suitable for fighting in the south cannot hold on. I told them that the troops stationed in Kislev of our Cheetah Knights Order were all in Kislev after changing their horses and going through a harsh winter practice test before they could really fight in the winter of Kislev, so it was better to skip it now. ”

Marshall smiled and told Hyde about his refusal to allow the Mountain Lion Riders to participate in the patrol, which was a bit shameless, but it was the most reasonable choice. The Mountain Lion Knights are warriors who often compete with the Greenskinned Orcs in the southern tropics, and it is difficult to exert their combat effectiveness in the wind and snow.
