September, the autumn harvest season in the north.

From Betar to Plunge, from Ausulond to Breeze, all the fiefdoms and villages in the northern part of the kingdom began to harvest wheat fields. They need to hurry, in the north, tomorrow will always be colder than today.

Xingyue Bay is no exception. The farmland to the east is a lively scene of a bumper harvest. The druid's wheat fields did not ripen early, but they were pest free and full of grains. Annan deliberately asked Ingrid to save a batch of the best wheat grains, and prepared to let the druids breed the wheat seeds after the Nezumi Crisis ended.

If they come back.

But many things don't always go smoothly...... The northern Farmhouse area of Breeze City is experiencing a terrible frost. At first, Olmedo thought it was an accident, or if the limestone mines in the northern part of Starmoon Bay said that the discovery of huge footprints made Annan wonder if the frost could have something to do with the frost giants.

Olmedo sent the Knights to investigate, and found traces of the Frost Giant in the northern part of the farmstead. The grudge Frost Giant initiates this weather anomaly.

Annan invites Olmedo to join forces as a dessert for the Nezumi crisis, regardless of whether the Frost Giant is the murderer or not - because of the news from the king.

……

"The filthy nezumi have chiseled through the Far North with their tattered wooden spears and are on their way to Illida"

"Shit! Do you know the difference between the royal capital and the cow dung I collect every day? They all make me sick! The worker leaning against the fence shouted violently, not caring that the fork next to him smelled like rotten plants.

Thanks to the magic newspaper, the Xingyue Bay forked dung workers expressed their opinions.

A pallet cart full of wheat straw arrived. Watching the workers pick up their forks and carry the straw into the cowshed while listening to the sound of the magic newspaper:

"Starmoon Bay and Breeze City join forces to conquer the Frost Giants."

"Why is Lord Annan fighting the Frost Giants, isn't the nezumi coming?"

"You didn't know if you came late, the Frost Giant came to look for trouble last year, I guess it's because I'm afraid that the Frost Giant will come over in Winter again."

And the workers exclaimed enviously: "They are going to get a third medal!? ”

"I don't think it counts if I take the initiative to fight giants?"

……

"Of course not."

Annan vetoed Ingrid's proposal to design a third medal.

The first two were the "Battle of Starmoon Bay" and the "Battle of Starmoon Bay". The former is the Frost Giants, and the latter is the Knights. It's all about the important battles of survival, and this time the conquest of the Frost Giants is only a small-scale battle, and it may be a big one.

Starmoon Bay and Breeze City each sent 500 people. In order not to be laughed at by Olmedo, they sent out the original five hundred guards, led by the knight captain and Francois, and there were no elemental creatures - this expedition was for the sake of training, and it didn't make sense to let dozens of large elementals follow.

However, the water-powered mill did not have time to prepare 500 sets of fine plate armor before they set off, and Annan stubbornly refused Olmedo's paid aid.

So Annan asked the copper whiskers to use wrought iron to knock out five hundred sets of plate armor first. Its weight is not too much for an equipment dealer to say, and its silhouette has an irregular beauty that artists appreciate.

The advantage is that it is sturdy. The Frost Giant slapped it down, and his limbs and skulls were tattered, but the plate armor and the chest protected by the plate armor must have been the same as before.

After the armor problem is solved, there is a weapon problem.

Michael is indeed diligent, but just like the homework assigned by school, the children in Xingyue Bay always go home and play like crazy, and write like crazy on their desks the next day. In just a few days, there is no time to improve, and the power is worrying. Strictly speaking, black powder is now incendiary and not flammable.

Annan had no choice but to let the soldiers remain as they were.

When a new day came, five hundred soldiers standing neatly but crooked by their plate armor lined up in the square, and the pointing of the surrounding people made Annan ashamed to want to take refuge in the Stoun rat people.

After opening the portal and sending off the five hundred soldiers, Annan threw a few gold coins at the blue dragon and climbed on the dragon's back to rush to Breeze City.

He went to sign a covenant with Olmedo.

……

Breeze City Council Hall.

Under the watchful eyes of the Breezy Councillors, Annan and Olmedo each signed a legally binding contract.

"Breeze City and Starmoon Bay have officially formed an alliance. In the future, close cooperation will be carried out in the fields of trade, military and so on."

"We're allies now."

Ormedo looked at Annan's outstretched right hand, thought for a moment, and held it with his right hand in the same depth.

The councillors watched with confusion as the powerless King of the North was already equal to their city lord, and stood up and applauded, Evelyn holding the Philosopher's Stone in her hand to record the scene.

As the lawmakers walked out, Annan and Olmedo stepped down the steps side by side, and he whispered, "I thought we were allies in my study last fall." ”

"Unnamed organization? Organizations that don't even have a name don't count. ”

Annan got into Olmedo's carriage and went with her to the North Gate to inspect a thousand soldiers.

The distinction between the soldiers of Starmoon Bay and the soldiers of Breeze City is visible to the naked eye - in order not to let out an offensive laugh, the soldiers of Breeze City have to immerse themselves in the grief of the death of the Eighth Knight of the Holy Grail.

The magical newspaper that chronicles Mel's death radiates outwards around the city of Breeze, the city of Beta, and the city of Plenty, almost a county of Praun.

They were the first to know except for the kings.

The waves in the magical newspaper are not just the shock of what happened, the sadness of the fall of the Knight of the Grail. And anger at the rat people. Many knights prepared their horses and luggage and set out south to avenge their faith.

It wasn't until Annan and Olmedo stood on the walls that Olmedo drew her ornamental jeweled sword and shouted in a glitter: "Invincible!" ”

"Invincible!"

The soldiers shouted in unison.

When it was Annan's turn, he said plainly: "In this battle, Francois, who is the clerk, will record your performance." Get the merits, in addition to honor, there is also a status waiting for you. But remember that to be alive is to enjoy all things, and that the dead will only be remembered. ”

"Fight for your lordship!"

"I'm Jack's spear!"

"Thirty years east of the Puroni River, thirty years west of the Purney River!"

"Dear Suni, please wait for me to come back!"

They didn't disgrace Annan as much as possible, but they still looked like a group of noisy mercenaries.

"Let's go!"

Francois, who found that Annan's face was not very good-looking, stopped the soldiers and began to set off towards the snowy mountains.

"Your soldiers are just like you." Ormedo said with a smile.

"Degrading others doesn't make you grow."

"I mean, it's full of freshness."

"Then your soldiers are just like you." Annan shot back.

"You mean rigidity and perseverance?"

"No, you're all equally flat."

Annan didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or disappointment, but Olmedo didn't understand.
