Chapter 326 (1/2)
The western border of the red sun.
Under the majestic spiral peak, the team flying the iron crown flag finally reached the foot of duanjie mountain fortress.
On his horse, Loren looked at the thick snow under his feet - just before, the snow in the camp was only a thin layer. Now it was close to his calf, and the howling cold wind was getting more and more biting.
This is just the past few days. It can't be described as ”winter comes too fast”. It's more like falling directly into an ice cave!
”Are you curious to see such deep snow for the first time?”
An unfriendly voice came, and the middle-aged Knight riding on the war horse slowly opened his mouth. His words seemed to be a little contemptuous.
The dark haired wizard couldn't help but smoke from the corners of his mouth.
Brandon, who was supposed to ride parallel with the middle-aged knight, always claimed to have caught a cold after the unexpected ”welcome ceremony”. He hid in the carriage and almost never left his carriage except for occasional ventilation.
Of course, the real reason is well known. The middle-aged knight in charge of reception was also very knowledgeable and did not force his royal highness to go side by side with him.
Therefore, a wizard consultant, as a ”confidant of his Highness”, had to replace Brandon and the middle-aged knight, riding in parallel at the front of the team against the roaring snowstorm
”I once stayed in the deep forest castle of lottel and experienced a rare severe winter.” of course, Loren understood what the other party meant and shrugged his shoulders:
”So you don't need to tell me what the north is like. I know it clearly.”
”That's because you haven't seen the real North,” said the middle-aged Knight coldly. ”The real winter will have to wait another month. At that time, even if you hide in the castle and try hard to fill the fireplace with firewood, it will just keep you from freezing.”
”Compared with duanjie mountain, lottel's winter is just like playing at home!”
”I'm looking forward to it.” Lauren's face showed a formulaic fake smile:
”If it's really the same as you said.”
The middle-aged Knight didn't seem to recognize the irony in his tone, or he didn't care at all. Calmly staring at the black haired Wizard: ”I saw your performance in the camp - you are the first wizard consultant I know!”
”It can be said that if it weren't for you, the Legion infantry with less than one flag regiment couldn't carry nearly twice the number of ice werewolves - even if they could last until the Dragon came, they should have suffered heavy casualties.”
”Indeed, the casualties were heavy - most of the hundred troops were gone, and the Guard commander was bitten off his head!”
”But without you, there are only half of the hundred people left at most.”
”So, can I think you admit it?” turning his face, Loren sneered and squinted at the middle-aged Knight: ”when we fought with those monsters, you and your loyal fortress soldiers were watching the play not far away?”
”Ernst dreisis, deputy commander of the fortress of duanjie mountain and concurrently the cavalry captain of his highness connord.” the middle-aged Knight offered his right hand with iron gloves.
”His highness Brandon's wizard adviser, just call me Loren!” the black haired wizard shook hands with him without laughing, and did not intend to have any deep friends with the deputy commander.
”Lord Loren, I respect you because of your strength; in duanjie mountain, we will always lack people who can hold swords.” Ernst, a middle-aged knight, silently opened his mouth and gave him a meaningful look:
”But you also have to understand that no one likes the Royal Highness you serve in duanjieshan Fortress - on the contrary, most of them want him to die quickly!”
Lauren frowned slightly, and the other party seemed to have something to say.
Is this persuading me to be cautious?
The next second, Ernst turned back with a cold face and a stiff expression as if he had never talked to him.

As the suspension bridge was put down on the city wall, the long-distance motorcade passed through the towering first city wall, followed by dense sentry towers, wooden fortresses, sharpened wooden piles, several foot deep trenches and rows of horse resisting piles. They were lifted from an iron rope, which could only accommodate a carriage to enter the interior of the fortress through the cast-iron gate.
