Thousands of sergeants are stationed here, but they are not messy at all. They wear steel helmets that completely cover their heads and silver armor, exuding a blood aura mixed with the icy cold wind.
The messenger was a little scared when he first arrived here.
However, after discovering that the leading general here was very polite to him, he became hesitant again.
Although he was not as arrogant in his treatment of the Silver Shield Army as he was in the Silver Castle, his expression was also full of arrogance as he rode a horse past the Silver Shield Army in a solemn formation.
In such a short time, of course he didn't have time to count them one by one.
However, looking out from the temporary point, including the three thousand troops that had just arrived, the total number of soldiers in the valley was at least ten thousand.
"The Eiger is the place most vulnerable to attacks by monsters, so there are more sergeants stationed here. In addition, we also have troops stationed in the other three peaks and four mountains of the Far North Mountains. Do envoys need to visit?" the general said with a steady smile.
.
"Um……"
Although the messenger really didn't want to run around in this icy and snowy place.
But he still carries the mission of the royal capital.
So he reluctantly agreed to make this trip, left the Eiger with a team of followers and generals, and went to other places to survey the Silver Shield Army.
And after the messenger left.
The Silver Duke, wearing the armor of Lord Silver Shield, walked out from somewhere and entered the camp with an expressionless face, where Xu Shuo was already waiting.
"That boy left three people in the city."
"There are only three of us, so it doesn't matter."
Xu Shuo responded while drinking hot tea.
Duke Silver looked at him: "Do you want to wait until everyone in this team is gathered and then catch them all in one fell swoop? How to do it?"
Xu Shuo also looked at him when he heard this: "You'd better not be there when I do it."
"Why."
"No reason."
"..."
The Silver Duke made a rare inquiry.
As a result, I couldn't get the answer.
He didn't ask any more questions. He just sat at the desk and read the official documents, leaving arrangements for the Silver City State.
Time passes slowly.
The camp was very quiet, except for the sound of turning pages from time to time, and the candlelight in front of the case was dancing, reflecting the two silent people.
Until there was a rustling sound outside.
Someone left a secret code at the camp entrance.
The messenger returned after investigating the movements of the Silver Shields.
Duke Silver looked up, walked to the curtain of the tent, gently opened a gap and looked outside.
The entourage he brought was guarded around the military tent where the messenger was staying. It seemed that he could not get close enough to find out what the other party was doing inside, but the Duke of Silver did not give up.
His eyes flickered slightly, and there seemed to be a faint stream of light passing through his silver-gray eyes. Those eyes were very bright in the dim environment.
After a while.
Xu Shuo asked: "What did you see?"
The Duke of Silver looked away: "He does have something on him that can communicate with the royal capital. It should be some kind of magic, and it is probably connected to his blood."
Xu Shuo asked with a smile: "Do you think it is possible to instigate him to rebel and become one of ours?"
"impossible."
Regarding this kind of question, the Silver Duke directly rejected it without thinking.
He continued: "It is impossible that the king has not imagined this situation, so we basically cannot do it, and it is very likely that we will alert the snake."
Send me a piece of shit with no ability.
During the critical period of confrontation between the two armies, everyone would probably feel that such idiots could easily instigate rebellion.
But they can think of it.
The other side can definitely think of it.
So this well-known may not exist.
Xu Shuo smiled at this and did not comment.
They didn't act in a hurry.
Anyway, the Silver Shield Army planned to wait until midnight before setting off, so there was no need to rush to solve the problem of the courier so quickly. They only needed to send someone to keep an eye on their every move.
No matter what, tonight, the Silver Shield Army will definitely set off for the mainland!
The Silver Duke came over with a map and spread it out in front of the two of them, planning the march route of the Silver Shield Legion.
"It is rare that the snow has eased in the past two days. We can seize the time to cross the Far North Mountains and enter the Andas Mountains from here as early as possible. This can also reduce losses."
"How long does it take to march in the Far North Mountains?"
"Four days."
"Don't worry, it's estimated that there won't be that much snow again in the next four days."
Xu Shuo said thoughtfully.
When the Duke of Silver heard this, he was not surprised at all.
If the snow that persists all year round in this far north was brought by the ice and snow elves, then from now on, the snow here may be able to melt one day.
The snow in the city-state has stopped.
Only the mountains are still covered with snow.
…
The night is getting darker and darker.
The pale sky was covered by a foggy blue, but the bright moon was as bright as ever. Its cold light shone on the snowy landscape, and the reflected white shimmer allowed ordinary people to see things around them.
The Silver Shield Army patrolling throughout the mountains gradually became quiet after the night meal.
The station area is extremely quiet.
The messenger stayed alone in the tent, warming himself on the stove.
Then, perhaps feeling that the silence outside was too unusual, he uneasily opened the curtain and took a look.
But when he saw that the followers he had brought were still guarding the camp, and there were still Silver Shield troops patrolling not far away, he relaxed a little, thinking to himself that he was too nervous.
After staying here for two days, he planned to return to Silver City.
I used to dislike the cold in the city-state.
But now after arriving at the mountain station.
He felt that it was actually quite warm in the city.
The bright moon is in the sky.
Unbeknownst to the messenger, the followers outside the camp fell asleep quietly.
The Silver Shield Army, which was patrolling not far away before, had moved away from here at some point. This camp seemed to be isolated, standing quietly in the snow.
Xu Shuo said no one would see it.
It also cleared out all the nearby Silver Shield troops.
Although the Silver Duke was very curious, in order to show respect for his teammates, he still waved away the patrolling Silver Shields with an expressionless face.
Then he stared at the camp with interest.
…
When Xu Shuo walked into the camp, the messenger was taking a nap on a soft cushion, holding a heater in his hand.
Maybe it was the cold wind after the curtains opened that woke him up.
The messenger was suddenly startled, and then slowly woke up. When he opened his eyes, he vaguely discovered that there were more than a dozen people lying in his tent.
But he hasn't reacted yet.
At this time, a quiet and ethereal voice suddenly came from the side, like a ghost chanting that suddenly sounded in the cold night.
"Wake up, do you want to listen to some music?"
The messenger suddenly turned his head and looked into a pair of dark eyes.
The girl smiled at him, her walnut-colored hair hanging on her shoulders, and her arm was holding an amber violin on her shoulders, with dark brown and light brown colors complementing each other.
next moment.
A piece of music floats out from the strings.
The messenger's eyes suddenly lost focus.
When I first heard the song, it was melodious and pleasant, like a gentle breeze blowing over the distant sand dunes.
But it soon became melodious, sad and beautiful. The ups and downs of the tune were incomprehensible. Listening to it made me feel dizzy in my mind.
It was as if I had fallen into the dark deep sea, and also into the silent whirlpool that wandered in the deep sea.
