I have a shelter

Chapter 415 Under the Ice Wall

"Strange." George looked at the frozen corpses under the center of the glacier and couldn't help wondering: "It seems that we have saved a lot of trouble. The Skyhawks should have cleared these zombies one after another."

Everyone nodded and agreed. In theory, after the snowstorm, as long as they find a way to lure the zombies across the river in advance and let them freeze in the river, it will be easy to clean them up. The shelter did this before. They led batches of zombies onto the thin ice and froze them to death in an instant.

After a few days, they will bring a group of farmers and use shovels and hammers to clean them all up.

However, Alfonso, Count Dexa and others looked strange after hearing their discussion.

Those "hawks" like Jagger in the Skyhawks have all died in the battle to stop the black tide. In the family (not counting those vassals). The only ones who are capable and qualified to mobilize the Skyhawks are "Count Leyden" and his uncle "Count Darris".

Obviously, the old Skyhawk would not hand over the troops to the vassal at this time.

So now, I am afraid that they are the two who are in charge of the army.

In the eyes of Alfonso and others, whether it is the indecisive Earl Leyton or his cowardly uncle who only has interests and power in his eyes, they are far from being as decisive as Earl ‘Gavi’ who guarded the glacier of the shelter, and they have no courage to lead troops into the fog.

"Alfonso, you underestimate Leyton a little bit. After all, this guy has experienced the black tide." George tightened his cloak and looked at Alfonso and said, "This damn weather, we will enter their camp later, and we must let that guy treat us well."

The elder brother is in charge of the army from the military, and the younger brother is in politics and diplomacy. Both of them have their own excellent side.

In George's view, Leyton must be selected by the old Skyhawk to become the next duke. So he must be the one to take charge of the army.

At this time, this guy is afraid that he will not stay by the cold river to guard, but stay by his dying father. Besides, this guy had not fought many battles with his retainers. However, although Earl Leiden's military level was not very good, he had forged a deep friendship with 'Yudlan' and others in the Bishui City-State. Just finding such a lord to help him guard here would easily deal with these zombies.

Thinking of old friends like the wild boar earl 'Yudlan', George's heart became eager.

Regarding George's theory, Alfonso touched his frozen beard and said nothing.

The crowd walked for an hour for less than two kilometers.

When they were about to cross the glacier, they saw the last small ice hillock. And not far in front of the ice hillock, a high 'city wall' was erected.

The 'city wall' was seven or eight meters high, and you could see that there were many large pots on the wall, burning ice and snow. It can be guessed that when it was first built here, the 'ice wall' should have been just wooden fences and simple mud. But in the past few months of continuous water splashing, it has become a thick ice wall. There were so many people on it that you could almost run horses.

"It seems that the Skyhawks were very foresighted." Alfonso stroked his beard and said to George, "This fence was probably built before winter. They were lucky, otherwise the zombies would have run over after the blizzard."

"Indeed, there should have been sporadic zombies crossing the river over the years. The river has gradually frozen over the past two years. I have to say that the lords of the Skyhawks have done some practical things." George nodded and looked at the "ice wall" not far away.

This ice wall crossed the entire fog from left to right, and it was unknown how wide it was. The flags of the Skyhawk family fluttered in the wind. Many people leaned on the fence and looked here. They seemed to have discovered the team coming from afar, but the watchmen were silent. No one blew the horn in the watchtower.

"There is good news and bad news, George." Alfonso stroked his beard and said.

"Stop talking nonsense. I know that the flag of Leiden is 'Tulip'." George looked at the 'Bald Eagle' flag on the city wall with a strange expression.

He now somewhat understood why Tanya stayed in the territory of the Sky Eagle without moving.

The struggle for power between the families has probably reached a fever pitch. As a woman, Tanya has been completely thrown out. And her father has no intention of giving her any chance - he would rather give it to his brother than to his daughter.

The girl watched everything coldly, and she was probably discouraged - in the eyes of the old Sky Eagle, this daughter who was deceived by Leiden was of great use. In order to complete the family inheritance, the daughter must marry a political ally to seek help.

Therefore, the Duke's position must not be inherited by her, otherwise the family will be completely given to outsiders.

"Actually, I want to tell you two bad news, but you didn't give me a chance just now." Looking at George's angry eyes, Alfonso said in a low voice without thinking about the big deal. Then he looked at the waving flags on the wall and added fuel to the fire: "He told us to get out - if we go any further, we will be within the range."

Obviously, the people on the ice wall did not have such good eyesight and could not see the flags here.

Hearing this, many people put iron armor on their war horses. Although these mutant horses that took the potion had extremely strong muscles and could not be killed by a few crossbow arrows, and the ants were also woven with magic spider silk. But if they were injured, it would still be painful.

After hearing Alfonso's words, George's face turned a little green. He raised his eyelids and looked at the people around him.

After seeing this pair of eyes, several Black Lake Knights who came with the group smiled and rode on the unarmored war horses with a group of good guys.

However, this group of guys deliberately did not bring the flag of the "Holy Court" over, but only took a few flags of the "Windtalkers".

When the knights rode their horses to the bottom of the ice hill, they seemed to be slightly stunned, and then more than a dozen arrows shot down from the fence without saying a word.

Looking at the arrows that suddenly fell from the sky, the knights did not move, allowing them to hit the fine gold armor of themselves and their horses. After a series of clanging noises, the knights ran along the edge of the fence amidst laughter and curses.

Seeing the big holes shot through the flags of the ‘Windtalker Basin’ in the knights’ hands, Count Dexa’s eyes twitched, and he felt his face turned red from being whipped by the eagle.

“These damn bald eagles!”

After a while, two knights ran back and informed them of the situation ahead.

"A bunch of cowards! Sir, there is a big trench under the ice hillock, which is full of frozen zombies." The knight said unhappily: "The soldiers were afraid that we would disturb these dead people, so they kept waving flags and told us to get out of the way. We can go over by lowering the drawbridge. I don't know what they are afraid of."

After pulling out a few arrows stuck in the fur on the outside of the armor, another knight interrupted and said: "These guys are waving flags and pouring water down. They are afraid that we will revive those zombies. There are indeed a lot of them."

"It seems that after the river froze, the zombies that rushed out of the basin are all here." George and others looked at each other. Then they rode up the ice hillock.

When they saw the scene below the ice slope, they were stunned for a long time.

"I thought of it a long time ago." George looked at the dark crowd in the trench, like a row of human walls with blue fire hanging on them, and said with a twitch at the corner of his mouth: "But he didn't expect there would be so many!"
