"The Ice Queen is a vampire?"

"Impossible......"

"She ordered people to catch vampires all over the country, catch the ghoul king, how can she be a vampire?"

"The Duke must have made a mistake! Or maybe it was just an excuse for him to usurp power. ”

Cohen's propaganda that Katerina is a vampire caused an uproar among the populace. However, the envisioned nationwide riot, with the Snow Queen as the enemy, did not happen. The people clearly did not believe the words of the duke, they had seen power struggles, high-sounding excuses, unsubstantiated accusations, nothing more than swords and shields in the mouths of politicians.

But Mr. Cohen doesn't expect the public to play a big role. In his eyes, the commoners are just a swarm of ants, they are defenseless, cowardly, what can they do? It is the aristocracy and the elite class that really change the fate of the country.

From making up your mind to rebel against the queen to putting it into action, it took only seven days. Seven days later, all the men that the Grand Duke could mobilize had gathered, including the Moors who were secretly helping him.

The people formed an army and began to lay siege to the Bandhargarh Palace, located in the heart of the city of Kislev. It was the center of power in the country and a symbol of royal power.

And the city defense army has long been drugged en masse and paralyzed in their barracks......

Nearly two hundred knights under the duke took part in the siege. These knights, with their respective attendants, formed a force of nearly two thousand men. At the same time, the personal guards loyal to Cohen also joined the battle, and together with the Moorish Order, the number of people besieging the Bandaga Palace was nearly five thousand. They surrounded the palace.

Siege ladders were erected as the crowd stormed the outer walls of the palace. Residents fled out of the city in terror, and those who could not escape hid in their homes waiting for the storm to pass......

"Attack! Keep attacking!"

The soldiers who climbed the ice wall continued to fall from the heights, however, Grand Duke Cohen continued to shout orders for the soldiers to attack under the walls. The rain of arrows continued to fall, and with the frost magic of the Frost Witch, blood flowed outside the Bandagar Palace.

Cohen was in high spirits, well-dressed in bright gold armor, holding a sword, and majestic. In fact, it was the most majestic moment of his life. Lead the soldiers against the Queen's tyranny. Lead a nation's elite to overthrow their brutal vampire queen. Yes, there's never been a more passionate and blood-pumping time than now.

Those loyal to him attacked the walls again and again. However, the inner walls of the Bandagar Palace are made up of ice and boulders, walls made of powerful ice magic, and the walls reach a height of sixty-five feet, twice the height of the average wall, and the Krem Guard, the Frost Witch, and the Queen's Guards stand on the walls and throw spears and arrows downwards, like a palace in the clouds.

Outside the city, Cohen's besieging force significantly outnumbered the Queen's Guard defending the city. Even the Krem Guard was powerless to stop the Duke's army. Most of the Krem warriors were taken out by the Ice Queen to destroy the rebels in Erlengrad. At this moment, there were no more than three hundred troops left in the palace. Three hundred against five thousand, even if the Krem guards can fight against ten, they will not be able to stop the invasion of the Duke's army.

On the personal orders of Grand Duke Cohen of Kislev, the ballista was pushed out. They did not have time to build catapults, so they removed ready-made heavy weapons from the towers of the city walls. The ignited stone projectiles were continuously ejected and smashed against the high ice wall, and each blow, with the power of flames and crossbowstones, was vented on the city wall. Gradually, shallow cracks appeared in the wall of ice.

"We need reinforcements!"

The captain of the palace guard shouted. His arm was sore from the constant wielding of his weapon, and he looked around, as did the three hundred warriors of the defenders.

"Where are the reinforcements? There are no reinforcements! The Ice Queen is thousands of miles away, and she can't come back at all without ten days and half a month!"

Glennie, the Frost Witch on the side, shouted. Her staff resembles a spear, constantly stabbing and slashing at the Duke's soldiers as they climb the ice wall. The valiant knights shouted below the city, the first to climb the walls, and the loyal duke's guards kept pounding the gates with battering rams. The ballistas bombarded where there were no ladders. The entire city of Kislev is staging a big drama of seizing power and usurping the throne.

Eventually, cracks began to appear in the city gates.

"No, let them go. "Just love

Grannie, the high-ranking frost witch, whispered.

"What? no, only Her Majesty herself can ...... it."

"It's too late, when Her Majesty returns, everything here will belong to someone else. Granny glared at the Frost Witch next to her, she knew the dangers of doing so, but that was the end of the matter, and that was the only way to go. "Go, if Her Majesty comes back and blames me, I will bear it alone. ”

......

"Dennis, do you feel it?"

"Huh, what?"

Kislev School of Magic. The mighty siege of Bandaga Palace did not affect the area, however, in the dark confinement room of the Academy of Magic, Villanell felt a little wrong. Her sense of hearing is very sensitive, which runs in the family, and she can catch even the slightest movement.

However, Dennis does not have this talent, although she is very talented and accomplished in frost spells, but otherwise she is no different from other little girls. She just looked at her little friend blankly, looking confused.

"Something, churning underground. I mean, what we had to discover before and was discovered. ”

Villanell whispered. She was leaning against the wall, and she could hear the movement of the entire wall, and the above-ground and underground parts of the academy were originally connected. Villanelle could hear the roars and screams, and the claws tearing at the stone walls. It made her a little creepy. Could it be that there is still this one in the punishment link of the great mentor?

"I don't feel it. ”

Dennis looked at her silently and shook his head.

"Well, hopefully it's my delusion. ”

Villanelle sighed.

Soon, however, the walls continued to shake, and this time, the noise and movement were so loud that even Dennis and Daisy could feel it.

"Was there an earthquake?"

Daisy cried out in horror. The sound echoed through the confinement chamber, becoming more and more terrifying.

"No, it's not an earthquake...... Dennis leaned over to the door, leaned down at the crack in the door and looked at the long hallway, and found that there was a gravel on the ground, and there was no dust at all, if it was an earthquake, the building would not be so complete.

"What's that?"

The movement grew louder and louder, and at the same time, the three of them could vaguely hear the cries of students from the ceiling overhead.

"Something must have happened!" Villanelle tensed, "No, we're still here." ”

"Is there anyone, let us out!" she shouted nervously against the iron door. However, the empty hallway was pitch black, and there was no response.
