The Shadow of the Crown of Snow [Western Fantasy]

Selene once thought of a question in private.Hecate does not have the ability to feel emotions like ordinary humans, and when she slowly learned this ability through getting along with other people, did she also learn the ability to control emotions?

This was the thing that worried Selene the most after learning that Hecate was different from others.She sometimes feels that Raymond's worries are not unreasonable. Maybe after losing control of Hecate, she will really become a dangerous person, because she does not have the self-discipline ability of ordinary people, so she can only restrain her in other ways. Don't let her do anything out of line.

And judging from the current situation, she gradually became like a human being half through imitation and half through a little residual soul, but most of the time she couldn't learn to control herself, and she needed Selene to always pay attention to her situation, tell her what to do.

What scares Selene the most is that Hecate will often resist her because her orders are contrary to her ideas. In fact, she has never been able to order Hecate, but Hecate is still willing to listen to her for the time being.

Her body is like an empty pool. After being thrown into the soul, it is filled with human emotions. Now, there is no way to add a valve to the filled pool, and Selene can only count on She can learn to control herself and stop acting like a child—or rather, a small animal.

Selene ordered Talis' army not to take the initiative to attack. Instead, the Guards and Hecate were divided into small groups and went deep into the jungle to deal with the half-orcs. The main purpose was to deter them.Fear would quickly spread among the human army, and the half-orcs were no exception. After contacting the Guards and Hecate, they would take it for granted that Talis's army was like the enemy in front of them.

If the half-orcs are afraid, the Talis army with high morale may be able to seize the opportunity at the beginning, and will not be sluggish after being hit.

"Of course, this is just a thought, don't count on this possibility." Selene recalled the scene where she commanded the army to fight the half-orcs a few years ago, and still felt her scalp tingling, "If possible, I will I don't want to have anything to do with them in my life, but to be offensive, there are few Talis soldiers under our hands who are braver than me."

"It's not offensive, it's the truth." Taking care of the soldiers' emotions, Gu Yinuo declared that Selene was just his good friend, and followed her to the battlefield as an adjutant. It is also unlikely that the orders of the locals, "If they are as brave as you, we don't have to sit here and worry about these things."

"If every soldier is Hecate, we can get in the car and return to Seaman City immediately. We may still be in time for afternoon tea." Selene rubbed her temples helplessly, "Fortunately, halfway The attack of the beast clan has never been organized, if the group of soldiers who are arrogant and look down on the northerners are willing to listen to my command, at least a narrow victory will not be a problem."

"I heard from Hecate that you commanded with magic?" Gu Yinuo clapped his hands excitedly, "It doesn't matter whether they are willing to listen to your orders or not?"

"In an involuntary situation, the effect will be much worse. And I don't have much knowledge in divine arts. A Northland Legion is my limit, let alone Talis' Central Legion."

Just when Selene was uneasy about the direction of this war, the Guards Corps and Hecate had already brought back news of the first tentative attack.

Hecate was treated as an ordinary soldier and incorporated into one of the snow wolf cavalry squads of the Guards Corps. This squad was also the first to come back. The captain came off the snow wolf's back panting, his body covered in blood.

"Your Majesty." He looked around and didn't see any outsiders, so he didn't change his name to another name, "They are as difficult as before. We followed your order and didn't stay too long. After the encounter, we fought with all our strength. Then look for opportunities to retreat."

"Only one thing is strange." Hecate turned over and jumped off Xiaoyin's back, and walked towards Selene, "We set off in the morning, and along the way we encountered at least four or five waves of half-orcs—all leopard-headed people, no One exception."

"That's because the leopard-headed people survived most of the Nord's half-orcs after I wiped them out." Although she knew that she didn't need it, Selene subconsciously reached out to help her, "You have to be extra careful." Be careful, I have also seen the fighting power of the leopard-headed people with my own eyes."

"No, Your Majesty, we have explained this to Your Highness before, but—"

"But their fighting methods are obviously trained, I can see it." Hecate clenched his hands into fists to represent the paws of the leopard-headed man, "They are born like this, their instinct Just play to your strengths, right?"

Selene nodded, motioning for her to continue.

Hecate is not quite used to explaining something seriously under the gaze of many people, she swallowed nervously, and punched the air in front of her eyes: "As far as the human body is concerned, our nails are not offensive. They are powerful and easy to break, so when we attack, we put away our nails and use the power of our fists to attack. But half-orcs are different, they don't have to grasp weapons, their claws are not fragile, and they don't have to show mercy Meaning—then why are they making fists?"

Without waiting for anyone to raise objections, Hecate quickly continued: "Okay, maybe this statement is a bit far-fetched, but you can completely trust my vision in this regard. The half-orcs we met just now, The attack routines are similar, and they all go against their nature. Obviously, the similarity is not caused by the instinct of the same race. I can only guess that there is a person who has systematically trained them, and it is not a day or two, but a long-term training. Otherwise, it is impossible for these beasts to change their old habits."

Selene thought for a moment, but still couldn't think of any possibility for the half-orcs to accept a human "training".Or is it that in just a few years, they have moved closer to humans in thinking, and began to do some things consciously instead of relying entirely on instinct?

"Hecate, come here."

Gu Yinuo specially arranged a military account for Selene and Hecate. For a commander-in-chief, this is not too difficult, but it provided a lot of convenience for Selene, and she still felt that she could get along with them. Hecate kept in touch with as few people as possible, both with others and with herself.

After a day of fighting, the soldiers of the Guards Corps inevitably showed fatigue.Even for them, the half-orcs are very difficult enemies, and they need to put up a lot of energy to deal with them. Selene gave them a particularly harsh order-the half-orcs must be given a certain degree of protection. Deterrence.

In stark contrast to the tired soldiers, Hecate was even more relaxed than when he set off in the morning.

For her, the more intense the battle, the more relaxed it is.However, this situation also started after she had forty pieces of soul in her body. A large part of "relaxation" is catharsis.Hecate's body was made by Hussein with magic, but Hussein himself is also a mortal body, so it is impossible for the things he created to exceed the scope of human beings. After accepting the power and thinking of so many ancestors in one go, Hecate Carter is naturally difficult to digest for a while, and it is a good thing to have a battlefield where she can properly guide her under the guidance of her ancestors.

What really worried Selene was Hecate's attitude in venting.Hecate can get pleasure from killing indiscriminately.On this point alone, Hecate and Orcs share a creepy resemblance.

As a native of the Northland and a member of the royal family, Selene has seen many warriors of all colors.When they kill their opponents, they have subtly different moods. Some can keep their minds calm, and some try hard to suppress their excitement. Many of them were warriors admired by thousands of people in the first half of their lives, but they are not sure. Lost after a nightmare, even without the courage to take up arms again, there are also many people who are obsessed with the feeling of massacre and embarked on the wrong path.

Hecate lacked a valve, and Selene had to install one before the flood broke out.

"Hecate, listen up. I know you don't want to listen to me in everything, but I won't ask you for everything in the future... I just ask you to promise me." Selene raised her hands put it on her cheek, and force her to look him in the eye to make sure she's really listening, "No matter how right you think something is, or how much you want to do it, if I tell you to stop, you have to Stop. Any questions?"

"Yes." Hecate imitated the appearance of those members of Tallis at the meeting, and raised his right hand, "Can this request start in five minutes?"

"Ok?"

What Selene ushered in was not an answer, but a kiss that was particularly characteristic of Hecate.She felt a slight pain in her upper lip, and when she began to doubt whether Hecate could tell the difference between kissing and biting, Hecate, who had almost half of his body on her body, finally stood up straight, He let out a long sigh of relief.

"Okay, what you said just now, start now." Hecate pulled his collar and shook twice, looked up at Selene's horrified expression, "Don't look at me...and don't Ask me why! I don't know why!"

Selene realized that this meant that her judgment was very correct - indeed, Hecate had no self-control ability.
