Alien world

Chapter 333 186. The real blizzard
"Hiss...ha..."

The musketeers in the front row hugged their muskets and exhaled white mist.

"Hey... It wasn't so cold a few days ago..."

Two teams of Musketeers descended one after another between the undulating wooden thorns covered with snow that looked like fertile farmland. Behind them, the city wall of Xingyue Bay was looming.

"It's warm to fight." His companion squatted behind the snow bank against the cold wind.

The changed cotton coats were worn by the musketeers in the plate armor, and they looked thicker.

Amy is from the South, Kingdom South.But the coldness in the northern region still made him unbearable: "Can we let Lord Fire Elemental light some fires?"

"The fire elementals have more important matters." Losey passed by.

"Soldier Captain!"

The two Musketeers quickly stood up straight.

Luo Xi waved his hand: "Wait a little longer, if the sun is not out, we will start a fire."

Not so lucky for them...or not so bad.The weather is cloudy after the blizzard, so a warm fire is lit in the thorn field.

The backs of the two musketeers warmed up, but their chests were still cold.

The soldier who couldn't turn around stared at Xuelin in front of him: "Amy, do you know that the plate armor of the northern border is sweet?"

"Is there such a thing?" Amy touched the plate armor curiously, "You are lying to me..."

"My ancestors were followers of Lady Frost, do you think the gods would lie to her people?"

Amy was skeptical, but she couldn't take off the plate armor and try it, so she focused on his plate armor.

"don't want--"

It was too late for him to shout again, and Amy leaned close to her plate armor, sticking out her tongue—it stuck to it without any accident.

It just so happened that Fermi patrolled here, even if they were not his soldiers, he couldn't help saying: "We are on the battlefield, we want to go back and make out!"

"Ah wow—" Amy yelled vaguely, pulling out her tongue,

"No... it's his tongue stuck to the plate armor."

Fermi saw it, grabbed a ball of snow and dropped it on the musketeer's tongue, and drew them to the campfire.

Enduring the pain, Amy forcibly pulled out her tongue and glared at Fermi.

"Just tell me if it's sweet."

Amy pouted: "It seems to be really..."

Fermi left with their jokes, and the depressing and coldness was tempered by the laughter from around.

Not long after, the atmosphere became silent again.They crouched behind the undulating thorns as if they were in a ditch, roasting by the fire.At some point, there was an unusual sound of wind among the "cracking" of the surrounding wet wood...

A black tide crept out from the depths of the snow forest.

……

Xingyue Bay is undergoing the final inspection.

Workers from the northern mines and the southern gold mines had already withdrawn, and the city walls were empty.Moon Harbor and the Textile Mill are the only two places that are still busy.The former seized the last time to catch fish, while the latter was in a hurry, even the mill, only Bronzebeard and her apprentice locked themselves in it to study the howitzer shells.

The chimneys of the eaves covered with snow are emitting smoke, and the residents are smoking and curing mountains of sea fish.Food is the least of their worries.

On the ground floor of Xingyue Bay, ten large water elements gather clear water day and night in front of the reservoir.The water source is deep enough not to be polluted by ratmen.

The earth elements are also busy: they carry kerosene, ammunition, artillery and other materials to the city wall.Elements don't need to rest, eat, or complain. It's hard to find a life that is more suitable for work than them—ratmen may do it, and even save food, they eat themselves—but this is not in line with Xingyue Bay. concept.

"There is ice in the bay..."

In the morning, workers from the shipyard came to talk to Annan.

"Continue to observe." Annan said, thinking about calling the bard, and handing him the "Bay Trap"-the bay without any shelter is actually a trap.

The sea water in the northern border has not been frozen until December in previous years. This year, due to the snowstorm, it will be slightly earlier, but it will be half a month later.

When the skaven can't attack the city wall for a long time, they will separate to the frozen bay, and then step on the thin ice layer-the bay will become their burial place.

"I'm just a bard!" The bard just wants to be lazy in the tavern.

"You don't think the magic image was shot for nothing, do you?"

"Damn it! I knew you had no good intentions in letting me play Andy!" the bard cursed and went to the bay.

This guy is mysterious, and he doesn't even want to reveal his name... Fast seems to have mentioned his name once, and then said it was a fake name.

Annan kept in touch with Breeze.The Ratmen approached Breeze City earlier than Xingyue Bay, but compared to Annan's unscrupulous methods, Olmedo only sent the knights in the city.According to her, the knights rushing into the rat tide was like being stuck in the mud, getting slower and slower.

Look, what an enviable tone.The rat man is just mud, so what are you doing these days?Playing with mud?
"Where are you?"

So when Olmedo asked about Xingyue Bay, Annan's desire to win made him indifferent and said: "My musketeers seem to have rushed into a ball of cotton."

"...The knights charged several times and killed tens of thousands of ratmen."

"I drowned hundreds of thousands of ratmen just by putting some water in."

Olmedo didn't know what to think, and made a disgusted sound.

Not long after, Firecrow brought an unexpected guest.

When the magic scroll was opened, the tall phantom figure of Mrs. Winter in dark blue fur appeared.

Annan didn't know what Mrs. Lin Dong was looking for at this time, and he couldn't wait to ask the question that had been buried for a long time: "What's going on in the capital."

The tall and slender Mrs. Winter knew what Annan was asking, "...the Montreal family, the Mage Tower, the nobles did not betray mankind."

So it is really as Olmedo guessed, Wangdu is planning some kind of conspiracy?

The lofty nobles can't see the mortal world, but Annan can see: "What about the people who died because of the rat people in the fallen land?"

"Dead men don't speak."

Annan fell into a long silence.

Mrs. Winter did not continue this topic: "We are close to the secret store, and there is your share in it."

Annan wanted to yell at Mrs. Lin Dong for taking your dirty money...but he is so poor that he is about to sell himself.

clang clang-

Annan escaped from the rush of bells echoing over Xingyue Bay.

"I'll stop talking."

Here comes the rat man.

……

Distant bells echoed from behind, and musketeers gazed at the swarm of rats emerging from the snowy forest.Master Annan killed 20 or [-] ratmen these days?But there still seem to be so many of them...

The sound of wings flapping suddenly came from the sky, and the musketeers raised their heads and saw the blue dragon and thirteen white dragons flying from Xingyue Bay.

The voice of Annan Reeves, the king of the North, the nemesis of the ratmen, and the lord of Xingyue Bay, echoed above the musketeers:

"Although the northern border is huge, we have nowhere to go - behind us is Xingyue Bay!"
