Caterina held the provocative book in her hand, and her heart ached like a knife. Not only because she lost the Blue Road, but also because she lost an entire legion. Erengrad is even more dangerous......

Caterina cares about Landau, however, the bitter cold of Kislev freezes the Queen's heart. If she chooses between power and lovers, she will not hesitate to choose power. Only a coward is bound by emotion. The Ice Queen is such a person, she is tough and ruthless. It's like this palace, full of hard ice.

However, she was furious, after all, it was not pleasant to lose a lover. As a queen, she was coerced by others for the first time, and Lan Dao was Rhodes' hostage. However, Caterina also has an important hostage, that is, Dennis, the daughter of Rod. She didn't expect Rhodes to rebel, also because Dennis was in her own hands and seemed to be a cold-blooded and ruthless person, even if she didn't want her daughter.

Caterina thought about insulting Dennis, but it was useless to think about it. As a hostage, Dennis must live, so that she has the capital to blackmail Rhodes. The only thing Catalina worries about is that the new king of the North is a white-eyed wolf who doesn't care about her own flesh and blood, so she will really have an opponent.

......

In the camp of the Northern Alliance, the noble Lan Dao was locked in a special cage, and the Duke of Kislev, who used to be well-dressed and well-fed, was now locked in a dirty prison car like a wolf dog, staring at him was a snow-white giant bear. Ursok ate and slept by the duke's side almost every day, dutifully guarding the noble prisoner.

Only it can hear the fragments of Lan Dao. Although it seemed to understand, the white bear never paid attention to him. Just staring at him with a pair of blood-red eyes. Those eyes seemed to be able to see everything, and they always made Lan Dao uneasy. He was never afraid of wild beasts, but the white bear didn't seem to be any ordinary beast, he was full of spirituality......

Squeak squeak......

The door of the iron cage was opened, and the man in the manticore lion cloak appeared in front of him.

"Rod, ah, the victor has come to see me again with his proud head, and I wonder how long your pride will last. The great Ice Queen will once again send legions against you, and I am only the vanguard of this war. The blizzard will once again descend on the North, upon you and your army. ”

In the cage, Lan Dao said disdainfully. His hands and feet were imprisoned on silver stakes, unable to move. After many days of not getting a drop of water, he looked tired, and the skin on his face seemed to be dehydrated, crumpled against the bones, looking a little terrifying. Of course, on top of that, he hasn't eaten fresh blood for more than a week.

"In that case, the blizzard will show all Lady Kithrie what a demon you queen is, willing to sacrifice everything to secure the throne. Including the people. ”

Rod returned coldly.

"Hmph, what kind of species are civilians? Weak, timid, unarmed, just shivering rats hiding in corners. The royal power is in the hands of a few elites, not those who are nothing and don't understand anything. They don't even have the value of use. ”

Lan Dao scoffed.

"Yes, it's a shame that it's these people of your mouth who are supporting this army against Katarina. ”

Rod smiled and walked up to Lan Dao, looking down at him. The formerly noble Duke of Kislev, with his hair disheveled at the moment, sat in his own dung, and his clothes were crawling with fleas and bugs. It smells foul.

"Kill me!"

Lan Dao roared, he roared and opened his bloody mouth, his two fangs exposed, but his hands and feet were tightly locked by thick silver chains before he bit Rod.

"Kill you?" Rod laughed, "No, you still have a lot of value, and Caterina will miss you, so let her miss you a little longer." The Duke of Landouxe is worth an entire legion. If not, at least it's worth a castle. "I love Search.com

Roar......

The vampire lord roared, louder than he did as the giant bear approached the cage. Ursok opened his equally bloody jaws and roared at the Blue Road, and soon all the pride of the vampire lord was gone. He fell to his knees, the blood in his eyes fading.

At this time, Sibes, the captain of the Bear Knights, handed Rhodes a letter with the seal of the Czar of Kislev in his hands.

[Give Lan Dao back, otherwise, your precious daughter will be tortured inhumanely.] 】

[Don't think that if you sneak up on my legion, I will compromise with you. Traitors will be punished, and the North is your grave. 】

Caterina only had a few lines in the letter, but for Rod, it was like a bolt from the blue. Dennis...... Isn't Dennis on his way back to Blackhammer Keep?How did he get back to the Academy of Magic?What the hell is going on?...... Could it be that Edmund lied to me? Dennis never escaped from the beginning to the end?

Rod's heart was instantly mixed, and he didn't care about humiliating Lan Dao, and the king of the northern realm hurriedly walked out of the cage and came to the tent of Edmund, the lord of Ice Castle.

"Tell me, what's going on!"

Standing in front of Edmund, Rhodes questioned sternly. The leader of the Ice Castle drove the soldiers and officers back from the tent with a face, and then stood alone in front of Rhodes.

"What is supposed to come will come eventually. Well, I'll admit, I lied to you on this matter, Rod. ”

Edmund stood up straight and answered honestly.

"Why did you lie to me? You said Dennis was rescued!"

In a fit of rage, Rhodes knocked Edmund to the ground, and it was not good to be deceived by the person he trusted most. Now, I have to face the double blow of losing my friendship and my daughter. I thought that capturing Lan Dao was something to be excited about, but now it seems that the queen still has chips in her hands. She can be cold-blooded to the end, but Rod can't. Dennis, Caroline, and herself didn't want to lose any of them.

"King of the North...... Rhodes, King of the North. Brother, if I hadn't said that, would you still be king? If I hadn't done this, the north would still be a plate of scattered sand, and you can only be a lord, a timid little lord!"

Edmund wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, stood up, and continued with justice—

"But the North calls for the King. Kislev calls for a new king. The people of Kislev need a real leader to lead them out of tyrannical and bloody rule! So, I have to lie to you. ”

Edmund walked up to Rod, "Brother, your daughter is in Kislev City, and my daughter is also there. It's not just your daughter who is the Frost Witch. Many, many of us, so many fathers, so many mothers, and their daughters were witch apprentices. However, for the sake of the future of this country, for the revival of Kislev, they have resolutely decided to support you. ”

"You were born to be a king, the bear god Ersun chose you, the thunder god Thor chose you, this is your fate!"

Edmund said seriously and seriously.

In the midst of great pain, Rhodes gradually came to his senses. It is not easy to let reason prevail over emotion. But no matter what, Rod knew that he could no longer vent his anger on this person. He is right, but it will take some time to accept this reality......
