Chapter 193: Wind Roar (Part 1)

At the end of March, the situation in the north was not optimistic.

As the weather gradually warmed, a group of careerists seemed to start to move around.

The major lords in the northern territory all smelled the scent of the coming war, and began to summon troops to strengthen the city's defenses.

Although this spring is approaching, the lords should be actively preparing for spring plowing so that the current escalating famine will not continue to spread.

But it is a pity that the fragile situation in the northern border now makes the lords no longer care about spring ploughing.

Besides, those slaves and civilians starved to death. Of course, the noble lords were more concerned about the safety of their territories.

Finally, on the first day of April, a Mr. Hooter who claimed to be a descendant of the St. Theon family officially disclosed his identity in Ironforge City, and at the same time declared that it was precisely because of the incompetence of the Duke of St. Hild that it was caused. This unprecedented famine in the north.

Therefore, as a descendant of the paladin family, he spoke for countless people in the north who had suffered from famine, and asked the Duke of St. Hilde to take the initiative to abandon the title of Lord of the North, so that the more capable would take on the responsibility of protecting the North. Responsibilities.

After Mr. Hou made a public speech, a group of northern nobles, headed by the Marquis of Dawson and the Earl of Uman, also publicly declared that the Duke of St. Hilde was responsible for the famine in the north.

One stone caused a thousand waves of waves, and the St. Theon family was silent for three hundred years. This time it suddenly returned strongly and completely disturbed the situation in the north.

When the major lords of the Northern Territory were shocked, they also began to consider how to stand in line.

As for the people of the North, they originally had the reputation of the St. Hild family for thousands of years. Of course, the people of the North would not pay attention to the St. Theon family. In fact, many people have long forgotten this once paladin family.

However, the famine that has raged for half a year has accumulated a large amount of dissatisfaction with the Saint Hild family in the hearts of the people in the North.

Countless people in the Northland who have not had enough to eat have begun to feel that perhaps the Northland should also change to another owner.

Facing the public opinion offensive of the St. Theon family, the Duke of St. Hild finally appeared in public.

This is also his first public appearance since his duel with the Paladin.

The Northern Lord unceremoniously counterattacked, refuting the absurd remarks made by the Saint Theon family, claiming that they were the culprits of the Northern Rebellion.

At the same time, he announced that the Marquis Dawson and Earl Uman and other lords were rebellious in the North, and decided to immediately deprive them of their titles and fiefdoms, and sent the Golden Lion Army to Ironforge City, trying to kill the dwarves first in the form of slashing the chaotic ground. Rebel forces.

In addition, the Duke of St. Hilde also issued an emergency call-up order, requiring all the major lords and major mercenary groups in the north to join the war against the rebellion.

Suddenly, the North Territory was surging, and the "Ligger Controversy" officially kicked off.

——————————

When the chaos in the northern border became a pot of porridge, Ke Lin had already led his army to the Snow Mountain Range.

Here the cold wind roars, the snow is all over the sky, and there is absolutely no breath of spring coming.

Going forward, even if they formally enter the territory of the Troll Empire, Colin and others will no longer be able to hide their whereabouts.

Of course, if you want to enter the troll empire, you need to cross the last barrier.

"Lord Anglia, Lord Charles." A weather-faced Knight of the St. Hild family was taken to the temporary command post and bowed to Colin and Charles.

He wears a full set of chain mail, with the emblem of the Golden Lion Corps printed on his chest, a knight sword and kite shield on his waist, and a conical helmet in his left hand. The various knife marks and blood stains on the equipment indicate that he has recently Just experienced a **** battle.

"Knight Bled, how is the situation with Windhowl Castle now?" Charles asked eagerly.

The Windhowl Fort in his mouth was one of the three military forts given to the Golden Lion Army by the Troll Empire, and it was also the military fort where Charles had served before.

Only after passing this military fort can Colin truly enter the territory of the troll empire.

This Brad knight is the garrison commander guarding Windhowl Fort.

"The southern army of the trolls arrived at Windhowl Fort 13 days ago and launched an attack on us. There were a large number of opponents. Our army defended for a day and finally the trolls captured Windhowl Fort.

After Fengshoubao fell, I led the remnants to withdraw and hid in the snow-capped mountains, waiting for support. "

"How many of you still have?"

"When we evacuated, there were more than five hundred people, but then they separated a little. Now there are only two hundred people left." The Brad Knight looked sad.

Of course Colin understood that the so-called "dispersion" in the other party's mouth was actually running away.

However, it's no wonder that these people became deserters. After all, it was too far from the north, and reinforcements seemed out of reach. In addition, most of the garrisons were recruits, and it was not uncommon for them to escape in despair.

"After the troll captured Windhowl Fort, he left?"

"Yes, they only rested for a long time in Windhowl Castle, and then hurried down south."

"En." Colin calculated the time and found that he should have just passed by the army of trolls going south.

This is actually quite normal. The sky ice sheet is so large that it is normal for two armies to pass by, and it is a small chance coincidence that the two armies collide head-on.

"What about the other two military forts?"

"I saw wolf smoke rising in the direction of the other two military forts two days ago, so it should have been captured by the trolls."

Colin nodded, not surprisingly.

The Golden Lion Corps had just placed such a garrison here, obviously it did not intend to stick to it.

"What is the current situation in Windhowl Castle, do you know?"

"I know. The troll didn't leave too many troops to garrison, I guess it was only about one or two thousand, and the defense was extremely lax. I even tried sneaking in the middle of the night to a position less than 100 meters away from the military fort to observe~www. novelhall.com~ also did not attract the attention of the defenders."

"Well, do you have any suggestions on how to attack this Windhowl Fort?"

Hearing this question, Brad Knight suddenly smiled.

Charles also smiled. He looked at the Brad Knight, and then explained: "Viscount Anglia, in fact, when the troll army first mobilized, we realized that Windhowl Castle would definitely fall.

So, in order to make it easier when we make a comeback in the future, we made tricks on the walls of the military fort. "

"Oh?" Colin's eyes lit up, and he asked quickly, "What are you doing?"

"At the southeast corner of Fenghoubao, the foundation of a section of the city wall was deliberately hollowed out by us. Therefore, now it will collapse after only a few collisions with the oak wood!"

"Okay!" Colin clapped his hands excitedly, and then ordered, "Knight Brad, then please bring someone to prepare the siege tools. Tomorrow morning, when the sun rises, we will attack!"

"Yes!"
