A man in the ark was forced to become a king

Therefore, it is very reasonable for her to leave Rutland and join the war on the Golden Tree.

If Mostima hadn't suddenly and inexplicably taken the position of the current pope, making her unable to leave, she would have left with Fiametta.

The power of time can really change many things.

The team they once were will never be the same again.

Now, both Mostima and Fiametta have new responsibilities and are no longer members of the special teams team.

So what about her?

What should she do when she wakes up from a deep sleep?

Are you really going to go to Mostima to apply for a relaxing and comfortable idle position as you joked before?

If she does that, Mostima will definitely not refuse. She also has a valid reason like "wanting to restore her legs", and no one can fault her.

She will definitely be able to find a casual job without having to worry too much, stay away from the battlefield, and change from a soldier to a civilian employee.

After thinking about it for a while, it seemed to be a very good arrangement, enough to save her decades of detours, jump directly to the retirement stage, and be a salted fish with peace of mind.

However, even if she can accept it, where is her protective gun?Is that acceptable?

It was a weapon that once crisscrossed the battlefield. If it wasn't a beautiful handicraft, how could it just be covered in dust?

Moreover, as Fiametta said, she herself has a restless temper, and it is very tiring just to think about asking her to do boring work.

Therefore, her real thoughts were actually very obvious. The reason why she asked that was not to confirm what Fiametta would do next, but to find a reason for herself, a reason to convince herself not to indulge in her comfort zone.

"You are still the same person as before."

Fiametta stared at Lemuan who suddenly fell silent for a while, then laughed out loud and said teasingly: "Let me tell you, you just have a restless temper, how can you find a job without peace of mind?" day?"

"Look at the way you are struggling now. It's not as good as before."

"If you don't want to be wrapped up in trivial matters, then leave with me and form a two-person team to take over Mostema's position."

"After your legs have fully recovered and you are able to move normally, we will return to the battlefield."

"Indeed, as you said, I can't accept it anymore."

After a long silence, Lemuan nodded slowly.

How can a roaring tiger adapt to life in a cage?

Although this metaphor is not appropriate to use here, the meaning is like this. Comfort has never belonged to people like her. Returning to the battlefield is the best destination for them.

Of course, before that, she still had some other things to deal with, such as a worried sister who was far away in Longmen and no longer knew what it was like to be crazy.

"Fiametta."

"Ok?"

"Come with me to Longmen and take me to see Xiaole and see what she looks like now."

"After seeing it, I will go back to the Golden Tree with you, form a two-person team, and enter the battlefield."

Chapter 20 The Wind Rises in the Icefield

crackling~

The burning fire scattered bits of debris, illuminating the slightly dim ruins under the dark clouds. The pieces of meat above the flames slowly rotated, and a little grease fell from time to time.

Gloomy clouds pressed down on the earth, and the cold wind blew up layers of snow.

The weather is not great, but it is like this most of the year on the cold ice sheet.

Sunny weather is too far away from here.

Originally built by the Ursus Border Guards to protect Kazdaele, most of the black stone fortress was violently destroyed. Everywhere you looked, there were broken walls and falling debris. The top floor was almost completely destroyed. Ping was used as a place for fire.

Skadi, Gladia, and Laurentia cuddled together, while Ceria and Christen sat across from each other, slowly turning the meat on the grill so that it would not be scorched by the flames.

Lin Qingyan was not familiar with the small groups on both sides, so he sat alone, curling up his knees, supporting his chin with his arms, and drooping his eyelids, feeling sleepy.

The troops stationed in the fortress and the outposts scattered around had already been removed by them, neatly and without leaving any survivors.

Thousands of soldiers may sound like a lot, but for powerful people like them, whose individual strength is slightly superior to that of the collective, it is just a matter of time to kill them all. It is difficult, but not too big.

After all, when their strength reaches their level, ordinary weapons are difficult to use, but the destructive power they can exert can easily tear apart the equipment of those soldiers.

Generally speaking, it is not common for a small number of elite strong men to form a small team to slaughter ordinary armies, because in most battlefields, the rules of king versus king and general are followed. Regular armies swell with each other, and elite strong men They will block the opponent's elite.

In a sense, this is also a form of balance.

If the strong men were allowed to slaughter ordinary people, not only would it be inefficient, but they might also encounter enemy traps and interceptions.

However, these forgotten Ursus frontier troops obviously did not have elites who could take action. At least, their so-called elites could not compete with the Golden Tree team. The two sides were not on the same level at all.

So they fell.

The fortress standing in the wind and snow was destroyed by Skadi's brute force, and the soldiers who had not experienced battle for a long time were all chopped into pieces by Laurentina's circular saw.

The other outposts that were dispersed were also called out by Lin Qingyan and Seria, and not a single one was left.

By achieving this step, the team's mission is completed.

All that's left is to wait for Kazdel's army to arrive.

However, mobilizing a large number of troops is not a day's work. It cannot be done by just talking. It will take at least ten days to arrange routes and logistics.

Before Theresa's arrival, the team that had removed the border guards would continue to stay here to ensure that no other changes would occur.

In fact, this is the most dangerous stage of the mission.

It would take some time for Kazdare's army to assemble and arrive, during which time Ursus had plenty of time to react.

Even if the integration movement stationed in the southern ice sheet can intercept the frontal troops, it is difficult to say whether there will be covert troops like the inner guards that can overcome the interception and appear here.

In that case, they may have to face the elite warriors of Ursus. Whether they can win on the opponent's home court is still unknown.

The perennial clouds on the ice sheet made the atmosphere even more depressing, and no one could relax until the dust settled.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the simple camp was extremely dull. Except for necessary exchanges, everyone remained silent, alert, and ready for battle at any time.

The only exception is probably Skadi.

Her eyes were always fixed on the rotating barbecue, and she swallowed quietly.

With Gladia here, she didn't bother to use up her brain to think deeply.

enemy?If the enemy comes over, kill them all. Do you need to think about it?

No need!

In her eyes, those things that consume her brain are not as good as the filling barbecue in front of her.

"According to the news from over there, if there are no accidents, Kazdaele's army will arrive at noon tomorrow. At that time, we can leave and go to Colombia to perform the next mission. This period is the most dangerous."

Sparks crackled, and Ceria suddenly spoke, breaking the long silence that lingered in the team.

According to experience, the last moment of every mission is when an accident is most likely to occur, so she felt that she needed to remind her teammates fighting side by side, whether they had thought of it or not.

"There is no news from the integration movement. The nobles ceded territory to become independent. They all guarded their territory and waited for the opportunity. No one noticed the changes on the border."

Gladia took over the topic, poked the burning fire with the small wooden stick in her hand, and analyzed this issue.

"But the emperor of Ursus will definitely know, because he has the internal guards in his hands. Those people roam around Ursus all year round and are responsible for sending all valuable information to the palace."

"Moreover, there is a lot of movement in Kazdaele, which cannot be hidden from the intelligence agencies of various countries. Now, everyone knows that they have declared war on Colombia, and there are only two routes to send the army to the border of Colombia. It is impossible for the emperor to No defense.”

"No matter what his plans are, he will not let other countries' troops penetrate deep into his own country. At least, he will send people to investigate."

"So, those guys hiding in the shadows will come to us at any time. It's possible that they have already been here, but we didn't notice it. After all, none of us are good at perception-type spells."

"This is very likely. If they have discovered that the border guards have been wiped out but have not shown up, they must be preparing secretly, gathering manpower, and then launching an attack."

"This time must be before Kazdel's army arrives. I think it should be today."

"Of course, these are just my personal guesses."

"A very reasonable analysis."

Ceria didn't speak, but Kristen took the initiative to answer the question.

"If I were that emperor, I would definitely send people to inquire about Kazdaele's situation, analyze a series of information such as their army's movement route, deduce the approximate time, and then secretly observe and analyze our actions in the past few days. Launch an attack at the last moment, annihilate us in one fell swoop, and then turn this place into a trap, waiting for Kazdel’s army to jump in according to the established route.”

"It's not a clever strategy, but many times, the simplest is often the best. Just like now, even if we can deduce what they want to do, we can't stop it and can only follow the established route. ."

"Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the emperor of Ursus is really a fool. He is indeed so troubled by his noble ministers that he has no time to care about other things."

Could the emperor of Ursus be a fool?

Obviously not. Even if he really is, there will be smart people among the nobles of the New Emperor's faction who will stand up to prevent him from being stupid to death.

Therefore, the probability of Christen's conjecture becoming reality is very high.

"However, Tallulah's integration movement is still stationed on the ice sheet. Its tens of thousands of troops are enough to cut off all paths leading here from the interior of Ursus. They have no way of sending a group army over. How can they set up a trap?"

"It is possible to cross the defense line with only a small-scale elite force, but it is completely unrealistic for those who want to ambush Kazdel's army. The traps prepared for the enemy can also become their own graves. It is very risky for them to do so. Yes, is it really possible?"

Lin Qingyan put forward a different opinion. She was in a high position in Yanguo's political system at a young age. How could she not understand these things at all?I just don’t use it usually and I’m too lazy to think about it.

In her opinion, Kristen's conjecture was indeed possible, but if she really did it, the risk would be ridiculously high. The emperor was not a fool, so how could he do such a thing?

"No, don't forget, this is Ursus. Although those nobles no longer hide their ambitions, they are still Ursus people. I remember that there is a saying in the Yan Kingdom, which is called brothers Yanqiang, guarding against their humiliation. Kazdael invaded the territory of Ursus openly, and they will most likely not stand idly by."

"The situation in Ursus is indeed very tense now, and the civil war may break out at any time, but after all, it didn't really break out, right?"

"At this time, if the emperor is willing to cede some of his interests, then those nobles will not refuse to send troops. The integration movement can cut off the passage to the southern ice sheet, but it cannot block enemies from other directions."

Seria explained softly, with a solemn look on her face.

Conjectures are just conjectures and may not necessarily become reality. But if we expand our horizons to the national level, Ursus will still be Ursus, and Kazdale will still be Kazdale.

Sending troops to invade the country openly is equivalent to declaring war. Not to mention that the civil war in Ursus has not really started yet. Even if they are fighting in a group, at this time, the nobles will tacitly cease the war and target the invaders.

By making inferences based on this, you can clear away the fog and see through the context of the whole thing. No matter what the process is, the result is relatively fixed.

This place will definitely become a battlefield.

They will definitely be attacked by Ursus.

Maybe now, someone is already watching here secretly, just waiting for an order to take action.

"Have you ever felt that it's too quiet around here?"

Gladia put down the wooden stick that was stirring the fire, touched the long tree on the ground, and suddenly spoke.

After she said this, everyone's expressions changed slightly.

Many people died in this fortress before, and many corpses were randomly buried in the snow, attracting many scavengers.

However, I don't know since when, those scavenging birds have disappeared, and there is only a faint sound of wind around, and it is unusually quiet.

What does this mean?

The few people present here, except for Christen and Lin Qingyan, are all powerful and experienced warriors, so it would not be unexpected.

"Do you want me to expand the territory?"

Ceria's lips trembled slightly, without any obvious change in mouth shape, and the subtle and clear voice reached everyone's ears.

"Don't be anxious yet, wait for them to take action first."

Gladia, who was the first to notice the abnormality, responded with the same technique. She removed her palm from the weapon, stood up, and leaned over to observe the barbecue on the fire. Her whole body was relaxed and she seemed to have no guard.

call out!

The moment she leaned down, there was a slight sound in the air, and a crossbow arrow covered with a faint black air came through the air and hit her neck directly.

Ding!

The crossbow arrow was flying very fast, spanning hundreds of meters in an instant, but was hit by a bullet that came from nowhere and was intercepted in the air.

call!

The wind suddenly rose!

A black coat wrapped in black mist emerged out of thin air from the ruins of the ruined fortress. Strong spell waves spread, and the thicker mist enveloped his entire body and extended outwards, threatening to include the entire top floor. the trend of.

However, the moment he appeared, a red stream of light passed through the air, flew from a very far distance, and penetrated directly into his chest, and the blazing fire exploded!

Seeing this scene, several people in the camp were slightly stunned and looked at each other.

No one knew when exactly someone other than them was ambushed around.
