"Evacuate the civilians as much as possible. In Carlotin, Farisa left two lines of defense to gain more time to evacuate. This order is the same for lords everywhere. You only have five days at most... No, There are only three days."

The Snow King seemed not to have heard Charles Moria's words at all, and just announced this incomprehensible order.

"His Majesty!"

Albert yelled and interrupted the king, which was a very unreasonable behavior, but the young viscount couldn't care less about it at this time.

"That's millions of citizens!"

"I did not seek your opinion, Viscount Albert."

The Snow King's voice sounded even a little indifferent.

"Our enemies exceed hundreds of millions, and you can't stop them at all. The two outer lines of defense are just to evacuate more people. If possible, I don't even want to waste any troops here. We will usher in a decisive battle under the city of Wendell!"

He put his hand on the young viscount's shoulder, and his tone became softer.

"I'm not sure I can win this war, so probably everyone will die - including me."

Albert was silent for a moment.

"Your Majesty, I will stay in Farisa. This is the second line of defense, right? No matter what, I must at least see our enemies with my own eyes."

The king nodded, and then turned his gaze to the other side. Every minute now is very important, and there is no time to continue on this topic.

"Erwin."

Erwin was startled when he heard his name.

"Have you done what I asked you to do?"

The new court mage gave an affirmative answer. His task was to process an ore that contained the powerful magic power of the Snow King. It was considered a semi-finished product. He was only responsible for completing some follow-up processing, engraving a few spells, and Polish the ore smooth.

This kind of crystal ball can convey the king's orders in real time through projection dialogue. It is a new research product of the former court mage, and it is of great significance in the war.

"Very good - Erwin, follow me back to Wendel. You have other jobs, so you can't die just yet."

"Yes."

Erwin didn't know if he should feel lucky, which didn't seem like much of a thing to be happy about.

-

Time was tight, and after minimal adjustments and material replenishment, the various legions began to move.

The expeditionary force was divided into two parts. In addition to the main force returning with the king, the mixed Second Army followed the Honorable Earl Charles Moria to the first line of defense centered on Carrotine.

After accepting this task, Charles Moria did not show any difference from usual.

The thin middle-aged nobleman shrugged his shoulders and led the team to the opposite direction, as if preparing to participate in a safari in a celebration.

The mountain peaks were falling, the earth trembled, and after the first black shadow flew out of the hole in the tundra mountains, the group of cold spiders turned into dark clouds and turbid streams, and countless monsters poured out of the abyss continuously.

They have completed the process from childhood to maturity in just a few days. The turbulent current flows across the tundra and hits the stubborn stone of Caroten.

The swarm of insects then split into two, rushing along the city wall and both sides of the mountain wall. The arrangement of the Snow King had an effect at this time. The king calculated the marching route of the cold spider almost perfectly.

Although the army concentrated on dangerous terrain cannot stop the Cold Spiders' offensive, it can delay time and cause them trouble.

But the swarm is not sea water after all. The stubborn stones gradually decompose and eat away in it, and finally turn into stone chips. After a day and a night, Carotine Town, the city named after the common plants in the Snow Country, has completely become history.

After delaying for a certain period of time, the Earl of Honor led part of the army to the next dangerous checkpoint, but unexpectedly, it had already fallen before he arrived.

"Breakout to the south, there are only fifty miles left to reach Farisa, Mitlan will pick you up there, after that—"

Charles just laughed.

The Snow King saw the blood-stained middle-aged nobleman through the image of the crystal ball, and withdrew his follow-up orders.

"Thank you, Charles."

The Honorable Earl turned his horse, and the rest of the army followed suit to face the turbid current approaching behind them.

"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will bid farewell here, and tell Midland if possible—"

He spat blood-stained saliva, his throat was dry and itchy.

"What is a real nobleman?"

As he spoke, he threw down the crystal ball, and this expensive communication tool shattered to pieces on the ground.

Charles stroked his well-trimmed short yellowish beard on his upper lip, and then let out a warrior's growl.

Chapter 75 Successor

"Did he say so, Your Majesty?"

Mitran Bell didn't seem surprised. He put away the crystal ball used for communication and was silent for a moment.

"Charles is indeed a decent nobleman, arrogant, greedy, inflexible...always-and it is for this reason that he is worthy of being my friend."

"Okay, I don't have time to continue talking about a dead man. Sergeant, how many people have escaped from the south in the past two days?"

"There are only 15 people, Your Excellency. The southern fortress failed to hold out for the designated time."

The one who answered him was an old man with gray hair. At this sergeant's age, he should have been discharged more than ten years ago.In fact, this is exactly the case. The old man named Theodore had left the army many years ago to do some chores in Earl Winter's castle.

When Mitland Bell needed a reliable and experienced sergeant, Theodore took out the armor he had used back then from the woodshed.

"15 million......"

Mitlan looked at the teams that were withdrawing from Falisa City one after another, and was speechless for a while. The population in the south of the Snow Country is dense, and the population of even a single city far exceeds this number.

"How many people you didn't save, Charles."

At this time, the number of troops gathered in Farisa has exceeded [-], including the leaders of nobles from all over the country. Although the number of recruits recruited exceeds that of the defenders in the first battle of Carlodin, their actual combat power is much lower. .

There is no need to worry about food and other supplies. The food prepared here is enough to support the consumption of more people, but the number of people arriving is far less than expected.

The spar cannons lined up on the city wall, and twenty Shantak birds transported new weapons and magic spars to Farisa City, including fifty boxes of simplified spells.

It is said that this is the handwriting of the new court mage. Although this simplified spell is not comparable to the finished product drawn by Ella Williams in terms of effectiveness, it is easier to draw and saves materials.Anyone with magical talent can almost draw successfully. The court mage Erwin summoned all the magicians in the capital, and drew a large number of spells without sleep for several days.

"He is also a very extraordinary guy... His talents were buried under Charles's care before."

The sergeant nodded as he looked at the supplies distributed to the soldiers defending the city.

"With these, it shouldn't be difficult for us to hold on for a day."

"one day?"

Midland grinned, and he tapped on the several-foot-thick city wall under his command.

"Carlotine has already shown it before. One day is simply not enough. Except for city walls of this level, those so-called checkpoints and fortresses cannot stop the cold spiders at all. If we only persist for one day -"

He ran his palm across the entire city behind the walls of Farisa,

"These millions of people will be overtaken before they reach Wendel, and not many of them will make it back alive."

"I see...you mean you don't plan to go back?"

"Yes, I owe you an apology."

"No, there is no need for this, Your Excellency, I should have died when I was in Winter City."

Theodore poked the cigarette holder and stuffed some withered leaves into it, which was one of the few little hobbies of the old man.

"Speaking of which, I don't know what's going on with Ms. Lily. If Ms. Lily can really please Mr. Nodens, I don't mind living a few more years."

"I didn't think about it that way, but I can at least survive in that temple... It's my selfishness."

Snow water has penetrated into the tobacco leaves, so it is not easy to ignite. The choking white smoke is not entirely the aroma of tobacco, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

Theodore scratched his thinning hair,

"If I remember correctly, Miss Lily seems to have never been engaged. What about the blood of the Bell family?"

Mitlan Bell rarely looked embarrassed.

"Lily is not my biological daughter. According to my original idea, I wanted to choose an outstanding young man from the family to be engaged to her. This can be regarded as a continuation of the family blood... But Sir Chevalier Invitations to duels were issued to those candidates one by one, and in her words, 'How can someone who can't even defeat me protect Miss'."

"Theodore, you know, is there really a man who can beat that Ashley Chevalier?"

Theodore seemed to recall the young lady and the female knight, and couldn't help laughing.

"Your Excellency, is it really okay to tell me this kind of thing?"

"It doesn't matter, an old man like you will definitely not be able to survive this war anyway."

Both of them laughed at the same time.

At this moment, a black line appeared at the end of the horizon, and the line quickly spread into dark clouds, and the dark clouds turned into storms.

The lord of Farisa City, Viscount Albert, suddenly changed color.Farisa was located relatively close to the mainland. Although he had heard about Doomsday and the cold spider swarm, he had never actually seen such a terrifying existence.

"Boy of the Moria family, are you scared?"

Earl Winter weighed the heavy sword, moved his wrists and limbs, whistled and asked lightly.

The young nobleman's face was pale, but he forced himself to be calm and responded with a sneer.

"Just like his uncle when he was young."

Midland muttered, looking away.

The sky darkened almost instantly, and the overwhelming swarm of insects came straight at it with the momentum of overthrowing the mountain!

Countless scattered light beams left the city wall, drawing several cracks in the pitch-black sky, and the cracks were instantly extinguished and covered by darkness again.

A little bit of fire was ignited on the city wall, tens of thousands of sparks gathered into a torch that soared into the sky, and even the turbid current that was enough to swallow was eclipsed in front of this burning fortress!

-

Day and night alternated twice. During this short but seemingly extremely long time, Farisa City was like a solid iron nail, relying on the advantages of the terrain to drag countless cold spiders here.

A rough, big hand protruded from the pile of corpses, and the man with a bloody face pushed aside the corpses above, and then managed to get out.

Earl Winter wiped off the blood on his face, counted the more serious injuries on his body, and after a little treatment, he had the strength to cast his eyes on the city wall.

After a little inventory, he found that there were less than 2000 people standing on the city wall, and there were only so many [-] defenders left.

The old sergeant Theodore died in the last round of attack. He failed to dodge the giant's throwing stones at the bottom of the city wall, and was taken away half of his body without a snort.

A moment later, he was surprised to find that the young viscount was still alive.
