Despite another small daily routine in the middle of the way, Uncle Brooke was not too affected, continued to pay attention to the various changes on the battlefield, and reported them to Alicia and the others in a timely manner.

So far, the Ming army's offensive seems to be going very well, and the messy counterattacks launched by many low-level monsters after the formation collapsed and lost their cooperation have not helped at all. They are cannon fodder units that rely on numbers to win, and naturally they will not pose much of a threat after falling into chaos, and a team of well-equipped and well-trained ordinary soldiers can play in them for a seven-in, seven-out. Moreover, the Ming army also used armored combat vehicles to open the way in front, making up for the shortcomings of the Ming army, which did not have many heavy artillery, and even dispatched the Qinglong steam airship as the final trump card in advance, which easily broke the cannon fodder army in front of them.

Because of the advanced means of reconnaissance and communication, Alicia, who has enough information, can see something unusual from the overall actions of the demons, but the Ming Empire does not have a similar method, they still use the contact method of sending human scouts to carry out reconnaissance and the classic flying pigeon legend, so Lin Feiyun, who was reappointed by Gongsun Yi as a general and commanded the whole army in the Qinglong airship, does not know how dangerous the situation is for the time being.

"Report to the general that the enemy forces have begun to break and flee. The adjutant standing next to Lin Feiyun reported loudly to the old general, "The tactics you adopted to gather the armored combat vehicles and charge were very successful, and the cultivators who stayed in the rear didn't even have a chance to play, it was really very beautiful!"

Lin Feiyun did not accept the praise of his subordinates, but shook his head lightly indifferently: "This tactic was not created by me. Instead, he learned it after reading the scout's report on the Western Continent Alliance's assault on the demon forces attacking Baoqing City. They also have weapons similar to ours, and they seem to be better. If it weren't for the demon teleporting the huge triceratops back in time, I'm afraid that the enemy's main formation would have been directly attacked in that battle. ”

"Since the alliance has such a powerful combat power. Then why didn't Emperor Bixia choose to form an alliance with them?" the adjutant suddenly asked suspiciously, "Even if this counteroffensive operation is extremely important, we can completely form an alliance with the other party while secretly preparing to carry it out without them." ”

When the old general heard this, he couldn't help frowning and said, "I don't know." After the girl named Alicia met Bixia as an emissary, I felt like a lot of things around me were happening as if I was being pushed forward by something from behind. Originally, Bixia also showed his willingness to contact and contact the Western Continent when the two sides met, but then you also saw it, and he immediately dispatched the main force that had completed the preparation to launch a counterattack against the demon, directly leaving the people of the alliance aside. Although the opportunity is not to be missed. But at the very least, send an envoy over to say hello to them, otherwise it would be too rude. ”

"Maybe Bixia has other plans in mind?" the adjutant racked his brains and tried to guess, "For example, are you worried that the alliance will take advantage of the opportunity to fight with us to form a big tail in the Eastern Continent or something?"

This guy quite understands the emperor's thoughts. Lin Feiyun glanced at the adjutant with a smile: "I think it shouldn't be like that." The Coalition sent in were all armed civilians known as adventurers. They didn't carry many jishu weapons, so it was impossible to pose any threat to our army, and even if they hid behind the portal many troops preparing to invade, they would not be able to deploy in a short period of time, and it would be an absolute purgatory on earth surrounded by many artillery. Not to mention. According to scout reconnaissance also found. There were many merchants carrying a large amount of goods in the camp of the alliance - regardless of whether the other party came to dump or not, at least they had absolutely no intention of fighting the sword of the Ming Empire. So I think it's possible, as Alicia said, that the Alliance actually came all the way to help us and use trade to make some profits. However, Emperor Bixiaweishenme would give up contact with the other party, and judging by the actions he took later, it was as if he was deliberately avoiding the alliance......"

Just as Lin Feiyun and the adjutant were in doubt, a herald strode from the passage to the bridge, saluted the old general, and handed him a crumpled note: "General." This is the flying pigeon biography I just received, please take a look. ”

Binding the strip of paper was a blinding red thread. The message inside the note is unusually urgent. Lin Feiyun's pale brows suddenly wrinkled even tighter, and he hurriedly reached out and took it over.

The adjutant naturally saw the red line, and he was so shocked that he didn't dare to take a breath, and waited quietly beside him.

Lin Feiyun's face became worse and worse, but after all, he was a veteran who had experienced all kinds of big scenes, and after reading it, he just lightly handed the note to his adjutant: "What do you think?"

"The demon armies on all fronts have withdrawn from the war zone after setting up empty rack camps, and have rushed over to our side!? What do you say that because the enemy deceived the scouts' reconnaissance with the empty city plan, they didn't notice the abnormality until now? Could it be that these guys are eating dry food!?"

"Emperor Bixia has almost exhausted the troops on all fronts, and it is already good that they can send valuable troops as scouts when they are in a stronghold to defend. Lin Feiyun waved his hand casually, "We don't know where those demon troops who quickly gathered around are at the moment, do you have any suggestions?"

The adjutant froze, pondered for a while, and then replied: "General, my subordinates think that at this time, we should gather our troops and hold on to the dangerous place and ask Emperor Bixia for reinforcements. The valley where the blocking force is located is very suitable, not only can we get the support of the navy, but we don't need to protect the civilian facilities in the city like we defend the city, so we can give it a go. As long as the demon army can be defeated, the tide of battle will naturally change radically. ”

"Then what do our hundreds of thousands of troops eat, hunting game in the deep mountains in winter?" Lin Feiyun immediately shook his head vigorously, "Although the waterway is still under the control of our fleet, it is always threatened by demons. It's too unreliable to use it as a supply line. Once the waterway is cut off by the enemy, we will be trapped alive in the run of ammunition and food, and then we will be killed. The Ming Empire, having lost its main army, could only organize scouts to resist the iron hooves of the demons. You didn't make a mistake in choosing the location of the decisive battle, but I can't take that risk. ”

"Understood, what do you mean by the general......"

"Retreat!" Lin Feiyun resolutely waved his hand and ordered, "Order all troops to start preparing to retreat immediately, and let the navy send a ship to pick us up." All the responsibilities are borne by me, and I will personally explain to Emperor Bixia, so you just have to follow the orders!"

Brooke, who had been on the ground with the Ming army and kept Alicia informed of the latest battles, soon noticed something noticeable. Hurriedly raised the crystal ball in his hand and said in surprise: "Queen Bixia, the Ming army suddenly stopped advancing. No, wait. Are they starting to retreat?"

"Ahh But it's not too late to withdraw and return. Barely in time. Uncle Brooke. Come back too, or in a few days your current location will be filled with an overwhelming army of demons. ”

Brooke was nodding his head and beckoning the others behind him to go back, when he suddenly felt a chill on his face, and couldn't help but reach out and touch it in confusion - nothing, he just touched a little bit of water.

When the second uncle and monk were still scratching their heads, a small white crystal particle symbolizing purity slowly fell into his palm from above, and disappeared after a short time, leaving only a few wet marks on the gloves.

It's snowing!?" Brooke immediately raised his head in shock. I found that the sky was already full of dark clouds at some point, and the small snowfall that people had not noticed before turned into goose feathers flying in the sky. In less than a minute, visibility on the ground plummeted to less than ten meters.

Alicia quickly saw the snowflakes in the video, and hurriedly changed her expression to a serious expression and asked sharply, "Uncle, isn't it snowing over there?"

"It's not your average snowfall, Queen Bixia. Brooke, who hurriedly led the team to hide in the nearby woods, slapped the snow white on his head and body and sighed, "It's estimated that if you stand still outside for two or three minutes, you will become a snowman, and I can't even see the scene in the distance." ”

At this time, Marilyn, who was next to her, suddenly came over and interjected: "I feel strong magic fluctuations in the atmosphere, and this heavy snow should be caused by magic." ”

[Is that really the case? The demon has indeed begun to close the net, and I didn't expect it to be this ...... for the first time]

Hearing this, Alicia's heart sank, and she raised her hand to stir her dull hair vigorously and muttered, "After the fog, there will be heavy snow. Originally, nature was already pregnant with a snowfall, and now with the urging of magic, its power will definitely be even more exaggerated. Hell, is Hannah planning to leave the main force of the Ming army behind? Her appetite is too great!Uncle Brooke, you hurry up and find a safe place nearby where you can hide from the wind and snow, if I'm not mistaken, the reason why the demons didn't send out the elite and flying units is because they are preparing some kind of forbidden spell with the help of nature's liliang!"

"Is it difficult, is it difficult!?"

"Ah, isn't there a detailed historical document about the Battle of the Desperate Lands, where legend has it that even a Level 6 saint could only be disoriented in the black snowflakes in the sky, eroded in the biting winds, drained in the ice polluted by evil energy, and finally died tragically in the boundless despair and transformed into a terrifying undead Demon Clan's exclusive forbidden spell," the blonde girl said word by word, biting the nail of her thumb viciously after letting go of her dull hair, "The Ice Hell of the Desperate Dead." ”

Brooke trembled more and more with every word the little queen said, and when she said the name, the uncle pulled up Marilyn from his side and rushed into the woods: "If you don't want to die, hurry up!

Communication was cut off, perhaps because the uncle chose to turn off the crystal ball to avoid distraction, or maybe a powerful magic wave interfered with the connection. All in all, after losing contact with Brooke, Alicia and the others were in the most danger at the front line when the Ming army was preparing to retreat, and it was most important to pay attention to their situation. Gorgeously turned into a blind man.

"What about Sister Pit, this-!?" Alicia couldn't help but burst into flames, "What is the reason for the interruption of contact at such a critical moment, even if it is the legendary 'predict what will happen and listen to the next decomposition', it is not so tormenting, right!?"

Hurry up and give me all the storytellers in the world, daoqian!

Asami silently emerged from the void and held down the angry little she-cat. Motioning to the mercury lamp next to him to try to contact him again, the chairman decided to give up after working on the crystal ball for a while: "No, I can't contact you at all." ”

"Well, the only thing we can do now is wait and pray. ”

――――――――――――――――――I'm the dividing line――――――――――――――――――

Lin Feiyun knew that something bad was going to happen when he found out that the demon had used a large amount of magic, but he didn't have any countermeasures against it, and he couldn't even command the ground troops - because the Ming Empire's army was not equipped with communication tools like crystal balls, and the Blue Dragon used flags to communicate with the outside world.

In this situation, where the surroundings are all white, who do you send the flag to?

"General, do you want to lower the flight altitude?" the adjutant cautiously suggested. "The hull of the Blue Dragon is very large, and if you turn on the lights, it should be able to serve as a lighthouse for the ground troops. ”

"Hmm. Just do as you say. Lin Feiyun nodded decisively and agreed, "It's fine if the enemy just uses magic to create bad weather, but if it's a large-scale spell attack...... Tsk, I always have a sense of foreboding. Did you spot any nearby allies?"

"No, I can't. Checkmate. It's not just blizzard out there. And there was a strong wind. There were no people standing on the deck at all, and all observation teams had been forced to retreat to the interior of the cabin. ”

By the way, the temperature has also dropped sharply, right? Looking at the porthole where a layer of white mist gradually rose on the surface in the distance, Lin Feiyun couldn't help but feel anxious. Although it was expected that there would be heavy snow and cool weather, so the troops were prepared with warm supplies and props, but they were definitely not used to cope with this situation. And if this is really a spell attack, the soldiers who can't avoid it and can't defend it for a long time don't know how many casualties will be caused.

The Blue Dragon is a masterpiece of the Ming Empire and the trump card of Zuihou. But right now, even such a powerful battleship trembled slightly in the violent wind, and it felt like an earthquake that was not too strong.

"Can you see the ground?"

"No! Now it's dark. I can't tell which is which!"

The crew on the bridge began to carefully lower the altitude as instructed by the adjutant, but the visibility around them was terrible. It's like sailing in the dark depths of the ocean. The altitude indicator became the only thing people could trust, and they didn't know if it would work in this situation - but they had no choice.

All the lights on the side of the battleship were turned on, but the pitiful beam only illuminated a short distance before it was completely swallowed up by the deep darkness, as if there was some evil and terrible monster entrenched in it that was dedicated to devouring all the light in the world.

"It has been reported that there is ice on the left side of the ship, and some of the lights have been damaged as a result!"

"Report, the hydraulic system of the main gun has failed due to the sudden drop in temperature, and it cannot be rotated at the moment!"

"Report, cracks have appeared in the weak parts of the armor of the hull part, and it can already be determined that this is an enemy's spell attack!"

The bad news was reported to Lin Feiyun one after another, which made the old general feel a deep powerlessness. Yes, the Blue Dragon was very powerful, and Lin Feiyun was sure that it could easily defeat the giant triangular dinosaur that everyone feared, but no matter how powerful it was, it could not compete with Nature's Liliang, and it was very small in the face of the map-wide forbidden spell-level magic that the demons cast through the Heavenly Time.

All he could do was try to make sure the ship didn't suffer too much damage, and at the same time save as much as possible the soldiers of the ground forces who were directly exposed to the blizzard.

"Look, everyone!" Suddenly, a soldier in charge of observing the outside world cried out in horror, "Snow, snowflakes, snowflakes are turning black!"

"Hah, what are you talking about?" the adjutant rebuked with a little dissatisfaction, "how can there be such a ridiculous thing, you don't talk nonsense there." ”

"I'm sorry, maybe I'm dazzled......" The soldier didn't know whether he was explaining to his commander or comforting himself, he muttered after taking a breath, and then turned his gaze out of the porthole with the adjutant, "You're right, how can there be black snowflakes?"

Among the countless naughty and lively white elves flying in the wind, a dark and strange figure suddenly passed. It is like charcoal for a fire, and like finely crushed coal, but it is far lighter than them, and its shape is beautiful and crystalline.

Black snow.

The air in the bridge froze instantly.

As if it had been a prior appointment with haode, the beautiful white snowflakes that had been at least acceptable before gradually disappeared, and were replaced by countless of these chilling-looking black snowflakes, completely leading everyone into a strange shijie that was out of ordinary common sense. (To be continued......)
