The Shadow of the Crown of Snow [Western Fantasy]

Selene originally planned to let Joshua stay in Talis and wait for their return.Although Joshua is gentle but not cowardly, he still insists on following them.

"On the one hand, the sooner this battle is resolved, the sooner we can get Talis' assistance and return to Frost City. On the other hand, I think there should be no one in Hindley Continent who would not want to completely destroy the half-orcs, even if If you can’t do this, it’s good to inflict heavy damage on them.” Having said that, Joshua nodded towards Selene, “To be honest, part of the reason why I admire you so much is that you actually accomplished fulfilled the desire of many people.”

Joshua is six years older than Selene, which happens to be a somewhat embarrassing age, making people wonder whether to treat elders or peers, but in Selene's memory, Joshua Everyone is polite and respectful, even Selene who is several years younger than him.

Thinking about it now, this is probably the means by which Joshua, as a proton, wants to survive in the Kingdom of Nord.It is of course the safest attitude to be respectful to everyone.

But thinking of Hecate's experience, Joshua is really lucky. For a long time, Selene thought Joshua was her cousin or something, and she was told the ins and outs only after she became sensible. It has long been impossible to completely draw a line with Joshua, and treat him as the prince of the enemy country.

Now she is also considering Joshua from the perspective of a friend. In this regard, Joshua has no talent at all. Instead of letting him risk his life on the battlefield, it is better to stay in Talis. Anyway, the Central Council He will not be treated badly either.

During this period of time, Gu Yinuo approached her Penglai friend who worked for the newspaper and wrote an extremely interesting report: members of the royal family of Nord and Nagrand are willing to stay in Talis, what does this mean?

Selene can tell the answer without looking at the content.It means freedom and equality of the Tallis Alliance.

"Come, let you experience the specialty of Talis, a carriage without horses."

Since they were about to go to the battlefield, both Selene and Hecate changed into the Nord costumes they wore when they came here, while Gu Yinuo was still wearing her unchanging parliamentarian suit, which made people wonder if she had saved a few dollars in the closet. Ten sets of the same clothes.

"But in fact, we usually call it a car." Gu Yinuo walked to the weird car, lifted a cover in front of the car, and showed Selene the structure inside, "Just burn oil to produce The power, if it is a model manufactured by Penglai, can also be directly driven by Taoism."

"If oil is used to generate power, why is it called a car instead of a train?"

"Uh..." Faced with Hecate's question, Gu Yinuo chose to open the door and push her into the back seat of the car, and then told Selene before getting in the car, "This thing is faster than a carriage There are many, so we and the soldiers carried by the truck behind will arrive at the battlefield soon, have you thought of any good countermeasures?"

"I know half-orcs, but I don't have a deep understanding of the strength of Talis's regular army, and I can only make corresponding decisions after direct contact." Selene knocked on the glass of the car window curiously, "Can this thing really be popularized to civilians? The cost is so high, and consumables like oil are needed, so few civilians can afford the cost, right?"

"Talis is different from other countries. Common people don't necessarily have no money. Among the nobles, there are also those who fell into poverty due to poor family management." Gu Yinuo pouted nonchalantly, "The local council sent it last time According to the report, an old aristocratic member threw himself into the sea late at night because he could not bear the demands of his creditors—in this respect, true freedom and equality have long been realized.”

"Hecate, if you don't choose a successor you like, why not use Talis' parliamentary system in Nord." Selene turned her head to look at Hecate half jokingly and half seriously, "It will save you a whole day Will some of the descendants after being worried be a wimp."

Hecate raised his eyes and stared at her for a moment: "I also want to sit in the front."

Selene rubbed her hair, and pushed her back to sit in the back seat: "There are only two seats in front."

"Is the news from the front line specific enough? Have you mentioned which types of half-orcs are the main battles?" Selene unfolded the Talis border map that she bought in advance, "If you saw it with your own eyes, It should be easy to identify."

"I specifically asked the scout who sent the information back. It is said that the most numerous ones have leopard heads, and there are many other scattered ones, but the number is not as overwhelming as the leopard-headed ones. "

"In the past, their number was very average, but after I tried hard to eliminate them, the most numerous of the half-orcs was the leopard-headed man. From the appearance, except for the general shape of the body, the half-orcs are all beast-like It’s better than being like a human—the scary thing is that they have human greed—for example, their claws are like this.” Selene bent the fingers of her right hand, “Even if they wanted to, they are hard to grasp Hold weapons and tools."

"The advantage of human beings is that we can use weapons and tools, and we have a smart brain." Gu Yinuo immediately understood what Selene meant, "The most survivors in your suppression are the leopard-headed people, and they also have a smart brain." That is to say, among them, the leopard-headed people have the most advantage against humans?"

"If humans don't have weapons and tools, then they will probably treat humans as food. Strength, speed, flexibility, and a body that is much tougher than humans... Imagine that the soldiers standing on the opposite battlefield have the Hecate has similar stamina, and is less afraid of death than Hecate. Hecate—Hecate?"

Only then did Selene realize that Hecate was curled up in the back seat and fell asleep. At the same time, she carried forty pieces of soul so that she could use her power better, but it also added a lot of burden to her spirit out of thin air. Even while maintaining a high-intensity battle, she can go on without rest for a long time, but recently she even works and rests a bit like an ordinary person.

To be precise, she is much more lethargic than ordinary people, as long as she is asked to sit quietly somewhere, she will soon find that she has fallen asleep.

She likes to interrupt when others are talking, and she can fall asleep in various places at any time. Generally speaking, her habits are still like a six or seven-year-old child.

"Will we wake her up by talking like this?" Gu Yinuo slightly lowered his voice.

"Let her sleep for a while." Selene put away the map in her hand irritably. "Fortunately, some of the guards are near the border. Otherwise, I'm really worried that the entire battlefield will be handed over to Hecate alone."

"Is it so exaggerated?"

Selene frowned and glanced back at Hecate: "This is the last sentence. None of us can guarantee that they won't turn around and run away."

If they were facing human soldiers, Selene wouldn't have been so unconfident in Talis' regular army.They have excellent weapons and equipment, and routine training that they do not slack in. What they lack is actual combat experience. Actual combat experience can be accumulated in fighting humans, but it cannot be accumulated in the process of fighting half-orcs.

The northern warriors of the Nord Kingdom, recalling the battle with the half-orcs, could not help but have lingering fears.

Their attacks are even more chaotic than the herds hunting their prey. They only have the simplest goal, which is to satisfy their desire to kill as much as possible, and use their sharp claws and fangs to tear apart every enemy that appears in their field of vision.They will not slow down because of injury, nor will they be shaken by seeing the death of their companions. They are hungry beasts at any time, and they need the death of their enemies as food to fill their stomachs.

In front of me is the Nord Kingdom after a long absence.Standing again at the border between the Talis Alliance and the Nord Kingdom, Selene couldn't go any further. She took a deep breath, as if she could still smell the cold wind blowing from the north, and pulled out a A scepter disassembled into three parts was produced.

In front of the regular Talis army behind her, she stood the crude scepter on the ground and injected the power of faith.

Through the life detection, she has already sensed where the Guards are stationed. They are at the place she instructed in advance, faithfully waiting for her call, waiting for the day when they can return to the motherland under her leadership.

In the imagination of the soldiers of the Talis Alliance, the half-orcs are probably like the guards in front of them. They wear simple armor, and some of them don't even carry weapons. Very lax, only from the eyes can see that this army can bear the name of the Guards Corps.

The food and water they brought with them when they left Frost-covered City had already been exhausted. Fortunately, there was never a shortage of water and animals in this jungle. The group of northerners with weapons did not let themselves go hungry.During their stay here, their only worry was how to avoid the half-orcs not far away.

"I haven't seen so many half-orcs for a long time since I beat them until they dared not harass humans." A soldier in the Guards Corps who has been in the army for many years weighed the ax in his hand, "With the current strength, we It is definitely impossible to compete with them, so we have to avoid contact with them all the time, and prevent them from discovering our existence."

"That's right." Selene nodded towards them, and was pleasantly surprised to see Pegasus and Snow Wolf following behind the guards, "Xiaoyin Xiaobai?"

"They appeared on the edge of the jungle by themselves a few days ago," someone explained.

"After all, Nagrand's army will not pursue them. Hecate! Your mount is back!" Selene shouted. "Where are the Hecates?"

Hecate, who had just woken up from sleep, rubbed his eyes and leaned over, and asked Selene as if he suddenly remembered something: "What am I mainly responsible for when we fight?"

"Hecate." Selene grinned and patted Hecate on the shoulder twice, "Show me a beautiful win!"

"Yes!"
