Chapter 276 Avalanche

February - Sunday, afternoon.

In the southeast of the Houlier Kingdom, the royal city of Ignaz.

Since "Kon the Conqueror" unified the entire Karen Kingdom seventy years ago, this great emperor has rooted the royal family in "Ignaz", a "white city" made of countless granite rocks .

This city built by the sea has the most developed port in the country. At this time, the mainland has not yet opened the "navigation age", so all the few maritime trades in the kingdom are in Ignaz, and therefore, here has become The wealthiest city in the Kingdom and the city with the greatest gap between rich and poor.

none of them.

The well-worn knights of Wellington stood in front of the inner city, the core of the city, silently.

He crossed the icy mountains and forests, crossed the treacherous road, and came here with an urgent letter from the Duke of Angmar. However, he was greeted by indifferent guards outside the kingdom. marble walls.

"Knight, your letter has been delivered to His Majesty, if you have nothing else to do, please leave here."

Royal guards wearing golden armor blocked Wellington from the palace. The ghost knight stood there. Although the other party's words were just formulaic refusals, he felt an inexplicable depression in his chest.

It is an undisclosed secret that the royal family is jealous of the Luciferon family, and all the cold reception at the moment has long been expected.

But... would this nominal king really care about what happened on the border of the kingdom?

He looked at the majestic but gorgeous palace in front of him, shook his head secretly, turned and left.

"What do these undead... want to do?"

In the center of Ferminon Palace, King Charles II sitting on the throne has a gloomy gaze, as if he is projecting through the hall in front of him to the end of the kingdom—but in fact, all he can see is the cold marble Gorgeous walls and a sculpture of the ancestors.

The Palace of Ferminon, which has accumulated countless wealth, has long been unable to measure its value with gold coins. In such an environment, the emotion that the thirty-six-year-old Charles II has most every day is "pride"...

Like all the nobles in this city, he is intoxicated by the glory of the past and proud of the stable situation that the entire kingdom has now.

For Charles II, who never left the city of Ignaz all his life, his concept of the territory of the Karen Kingdom still remained on books and paper, "Efta Territory", "Western Border", "Gondola Mountains" "Such words are characters to him, and the king doesn't care about some of the meanings behind them.

"Efta belongs to Angmar. He has to take care of this matter. As for how to take care of it, that's his own business. I just want the result..."

For those plans proposed by the prime minister when he discussed with himself, in Charles II's view, it was completely redundant-what he wanted was the result, not an excuse.

The sun shines through the round hole directly above the Ferminon Palace, and the light in the afternoon just shines on Charles II on the throne. The white and gold robes reflect the light, making the king look as dazzling as a god .

And he also enjoys this feeling extremely.

"Augustine has bowed his head and is willing to apologize to me. What else is Angmar thinking? Both Karen and Tasman have to give each other face -- since the old skeleton has sincerely admitted his mistake, why should we continue to make things difficult for each other? Make enemies randomly, The gain outweighs the loss."

"The Gondola Mountains are not our territory. They can do whatever they want. Write back to Angmar and ask him to restrain himself, and don't always act like he's ready to fight at any time." Charles II smiled, as if As if remembering something, "After all...these skeletons are far more sincere than those orcs, at least I like the things they sent."

"Give the knight who delivered the letter some farewell gifts. Don't let people think that our royal family is very stingy."

"Already gone? Huh..."

February - Day, dusk.

The team going to the Sola sentry continued to march in the cold wind. The mountain road was not too steep, but because of the thick snow, the speed of the whole team was not ideal. If the road conditions are still bad, then the mountain range that can be crossed in three days as planned may take four or even five days to complete.

For Rody, who was in a hurry to go to the "Sola Sentinel" for support, this was by no means good news.

But on the way into the mountain, no one could see anything from Rody's expression. He was silent all the way, and only said a few more words when teaching Akasha High Elf——

"The meaning of this word is a bit complicated to explain. In this sentence, it means 'manifestation,'. But put it here... yes, in this sentence, it means 'symptom,'."

The sun was gradually setting, and only the afterglow was left in the sky. When the handwriting on the book became blurred, Luo Di reached out and closed the "Energy Essence", and said softly to Akasha: "Let's stop here today, go back and review it carefully. .”

The beautiful pastor put away the notebook and nodded obediently—No matter what happened between Rody and Nata, when sitting beside him, Akasha's mood was extremely calm and joyful, but after a few casual chats, Turning around to leave, she was suddenly stopped by Roddy—

"By the way, come to my tent at night."

Rody didn't explain the reason, but just gave the order like this—the words seemed a little ambiguous, and Akasha froze in place, blinking his eyes, and asked, "Yes...what's the matter?"

"It's very important." Rody looked around to confirm that no one was eavesdropping, and said in a low voice, "I haven't been able to tell you before, so I need to have a frank talk with you today."

Akasha had never seen Rody have such a tone before, and he felt a little uneasy. His originally white skin was covered with pink, and he stared at Rody in a daze, forgetting to say anything.

"What? Not feeling well?"

Rody frowned and asked, his eyes a little puzzled. Akasha shook her head quickly: "No, no, no problem, I will come."

Akasha finally said these words, her palms were sweating nervously, when she turned around, she stumbled on her leg and nearly fell down, she was staggered away after being supported by Rody...

"It can't be... misunderstood something?"

Rody scratched his head. Although his EQ was low, he had come into contact with a lot of women after time travel compared to him in the past. After all, Rody had some simple understanding and judgment about some of the behaviors of women—he was sure, Ah Kai'Sa's performance just now was "shy".

It's just a plan with her, what's there to be shy about? I'm not trying to confess to her...

wait wait wait

Reminiscent of Akasha's performance in front of him, Rody frowned more and more, and finally let out a breath, reaching out his hands helplessly and rubbing his brows. Apparently, his always dull mind finally took the initiative to figure out one thing: Akasha had a crush on him, and thought he was going to confess his love to her today.

Roddy admired himself for being able to figure out these things, but the troubles that followed gave him a headache... Although the pastor had a gentle personality, a hot figure, and a good-looking face, Rody had no choice but to have a deep love for Nafi Kasha had no idea at all.

"Is it because your face looks good?"

Rody basically didn't pay attention to his appearance, but he didn't think he was so handsome-this may be a habit of walking alone in the past. Unable to figure out the reason, Rody didn't bother to think too much. He muttered, and when he turned around, Nata's figure quietly appeared not far away.

The wood elf looked at Akasha thoughtfully just now, but he returned to his usual indifference when reporting the information.

"Confirmed?"

"It has been confirmed, there are six in total,"

"That's probably tonight."

Rody confirmed his thoughts and heaved a sigh of relief. After Nata left, he whispered a few words with Soderol, and then gave orders to the whole team: "Before dark, rest at the mountainside in front of you." .”

There is a slightly open flat area in front of the field of vision, just on the side of the mountain, with a cliff with a drop of 100 meters on one side, and a slightly steep mountain wall full of snow on the other. The mountain wind is blocked here a little, and it seems to be suitable for camping.

The soldiers obeyed the orders, and soon arrived at the predetermined place, and then began to set up tents, bury pots and cook food as before... When it was dark, the camp lit up little campfires, reflecting the extreme scenery in the snow. A conspicuous tent.

The sky above was covered by overcast clouds, the moonlight was dim, and it seemed that it would snow again tomorrow.

Rody raised his head, his eyes flicked over the black bird hovering in the dark night sky, and he turned to Suo Deluoer and said: "Everything is going according to plan, let's start."

midnight.

There was no movement in the camp, clusters of bonfires were swaying in the cold wind, leaving only a dim orange light.

There were no flying blackbirds in the sky, but the silence at this time was inexplicably strange.

"boom"

The deafening explosions appeared without warning, and then a thunderstorm seemed to be triggered on the mountain wall. After the first explosion, the second and third explosions appeared one after another

"click"

The snow suddenly collapsed and broke, and then began to slide down the steep hillside.

At first, the speed of the snow accumulation was not fast, but as the sixth and seventh explosions exerted impact on the snow accumulation, almost all the snow accumulation on half of the mountain began to move at an accelerated rate...

avalanche

There is a distance of more than 600 meters from the place where the snow fell to the mountainside. The speed of the snow is getting faster and faster, and finally it is completely showing the trend of landslides and ground cracks. It took almost half a minute to rush to the front of the camp.

Before the snow arrived, the terrifying air flow had already blown countless tents off the ground...

"Wow--"

Seen from a distance, the dotted bonfires are instantly helpless like matches extinguished by sea water, and they disappear completely in the blink of an eye.

In two seconds, the camp of more than two hundred people was completely destroyed and buried by the avalanche...

Note: [Rody's Scout Squad] The group has expanded to 106 people, the group number is 294432b (239443128), I often bubble up, if you want to get involved, hurry up.
