In the penultimate month of the first millennium of the Yves Saint Laurent calendar, there were frequent movements of northern rat men and demons.

It started out as the kingdom of Rikanre. They went north ambitiously, came back with a blue nose and swollen face, and were beaten by Annan in the south, cowering in the corner and sobbing. Then there was the rat tide on the long western border of the kingdom of Dimon, and even some of the nezumi got lost to the Grand Canyon of Zorntut.

After the betrayal of the Kingdom of Rikaner, only two-thirds of the Kingdom of Dimon and the Orcas Empire remained in the northern Snow Mountain Fortress. But it was besieged by demons from the beginning, and the situation is unknown...... I'm afraid that there is also a crisis.

In recent months, the Winter Collar has built a high wall and killed hundreds of thousands of rat people, allowing the rats who are afraid of the soft and afraid to be hard to bypass there temporarily.

The think tanks of various countries believe that winter is coming, the temperature in the north is getting lower and lower, and if you stay in the north, half of the rat people will freeze to death, and the demons will also have to be half dead......

Nezumi have a habit of eating their own kind, and it just so happens that demons do, and they just like to improve their taste.

Annan couldn't help but worry about Maria. The stage he laid for her at that time should have allowed her to avoid danger and go one step further in the community......

In any case, the next step is either a big invasion of nezumi and demons, or a retreat underground to survive this winter, and the key point is in the snowy mountain fortress......

If the demon did not break the defense line of the snow-capped mountain, then this year will be fine. If the Snow Mountain Fortress falls...... Indicates that the Chaos race wants to spend the winter in Middle-earth.

It stands to reason that the northern fortress has been cut off by demons, and even the Dimon Kingdom and the Orcas Empire do not know the situation there now, but it just so happened that Annan had left a heavy horse for Tasia's tribe.

Tasia knows the importance of a heavy horse, but in times of crisis, a horse is also a rare commodity.

Hopefully, the situation doesn't get to that point.

Preventing portals from opening in dungeons or in front of demons, Annan called in Dean Brehem and began unleashing low-level summoning spells inside the strongest mage towers.

The portal opened, and a dungeon lit with dim torches emerged on the other side, and a small minotaur, about the height of Annan, stood in front of it.

"Who are you?"

"Who are you?"

Annan and the little bullaur spoke in unison.

Annan breathed a sigh of relief, the Snow Mountain Fortress was still on the human side. But the Minotaurs value the community, and the women and children are always the last to die, and it is not yet certain that the fortress is really okay.

"I'm a friend of Tasia."

After Annan finished speaking, the little minotaur suddenly burst into tears.

"What are you crying about...... What happened to Tasia? Annan was vaguely uneasy.

"I'm the teacher of the cubs, and they're afraid of me."

A familiar whisper sounded, and a figure with a body full of scars, but still bright eyes, appeared.

After a year, Annan met his first friend who came into this world again.

"It's been a long time...... Forget it, this phrase has been said too many times lately. Annan's memory went back to the woods on the outskirts of Pinglin Town, "I immediately contacted Ling when I learned that the fortress was missing...... Luckily, it worked. What's going on now? ”

"The demon has attacked the stronghold at the foot of the mountain, and we are trapped."

"Do you need supplies? I'm now the Lord of Liberty City,"

To Annan's surprise, Tasia voluntarily refused.

"Are you worried I won't be able to do it? Don't worry, I can provide even the resources of the entire fortress. ”

As long as Annan spread the news that he could contact the fortress, all the countries of Middle-earth would offer supplies, even the kingdom of Rikaner.

"Don't waste any more supplies, the champions on the fortress think ......"

A familiar voice sounded through the portal, and Brinor Cana, the acting patriarch of the Cana family, appeared beside Tasia. Her body was still pale and muscular, and she looked at Annan with an aggressive gaze.

"Think what?"

But Brino Cana fell silent, and Annan guessed: "Can't be revealed?" ”

Brino Cana scratched her scalp: "I forgot what they said......"

"They believe that the border of the future is no longer a fortress and is ready for everyone to evacuate." Tasia said for her.

"The demons have launched a general attack?"

"No, their attention is on your side, and we have been forgotten by them."

"But the Middle-earth thinkers think the opposite......" Annan frowned slightly, telling them the speculation that "as long as the Snow Mountain Fortress exists, the nezumi and demons will not launch a general attack".

"Are you sure that group of shithorns has seen demons?" Brianor Cana sarcastically said.

"Actually, you're all pretty much the same."

The fortress and the demons of the north have been fighting for hundreds of years, and there is no one who knows more about the demons than them, but does not know the situation in the outside world. And the brains of various countries are just the opposite, and the actions of demons and rat people are in their eyes.

"When is the evacuation time?" Annan asked.

"Before the Frozen Earth."

"Can I reveal your evacuation plan to the big guys first?"

"What big shots can you know?" Brianor Cana is straightforward.

She had the impression that what was left of a lord who had lost his territory?

"I forgot to mention that I am a member of the Holy Council."

"Hell...... How old are you! ”

"Do you think I'm too young at this time?"

Annan's joke reminded Brino Cana of wanting him to marry his family......

The portal could last for two or three minutes, and Annan said, "Are you all right?" ”

"Less than half of the people remained...... Tathea said.

Brino Cana gritted her teeth and said, "It's rotten, there are dead people everywhere, we don't see hope, we just stay and fight all day, and we feel like we're going to go crazy, so when the champion knights announced their retreat plans, the guys who decided to defend didn't object." ”

"I think you should keep the fire for the Cana family......"

"You agreed to have a baby with me?"

Annan, who was inexplicably weak, looked around, not knowing when the dean disappeared again...... Luckily, it's gone.

"I mean, you're invited to Liberty City."

Tasia and Brino Cana didn't answer right away, and the demonic war that year changed a lot......

"Tasia, you and your people have nothing to think about, I overturned the alien order just for today, I swear to you that the minotaurs will live freely in Free City."

Then Annan and Brino Cana said, "The kingdom of Rikanr has just been slaughtered by us and a legend has been scolded by us, don't you want to ...... those dogs?" Something revenge? ”

"I've never dreamed of slaughtering those bitches!" Brino Cana was moved, "As long as I can kill them, I promise you!" ”

"I'm going to ask the patriarch...... But I think the patriarch will promise you. Tasia also said.

At this moment, Annan's heart swelled with a sense of fulfillment.

Liberty City is growing on its own.
