A few days later.
Rose Empire, Yenodore.
An old general jumped down from the carriage with such agility that countless Rose soldiers were ashamed of themselves. Not far away from him, a tall snowman was waiting for him.
Next to that snowman there were several huge snowmen in different postures. Next to them stood the magician Rose, who was ready to escort these snowmen back.
Compared to the snowman, the stature of these Rose magicians is insignificant. When they stand next to the snowman, it is easy for people to ignore their existence.
In the city of Yenodorei, Rose soldiers came and went. Most of them had received excellent training and should have remained calm when facing these snowmen, but they still couldn't help but stop and take a few more glances.
Fred took out the small red token and gave it back to the old general.
"Yuemente, let's leave your human affairs to you!"
The old general called Yuement raised his bony hand and took the token from Fred's hand. When he looked up, he could see the dark lines on Fred's face.
"What happened? You don't look happy. What happened to the winter fortifications?"
"None of your business."
Yuement noticed a snowman who was being supported by someone and had bandages wrapped around his eyes, and he remembered the rumors he had heard.
"Is that the man with the colorful hair and mask?"
Fred pouted slightly, but soon calmed down, "You are really well-informed. It was because of that guy that my people became blind. I don't know how long it will take to cure them."
"The colorful-haired masked man, he caused so many events this winter and delayed the Empire's plans. It's normal for me to know his name. I never thought that such a person would appear in such an important year."
Yuement said this, but his face was extremely calm.
"But don't worry, his presence won't significantly interfere with the progress of the war. We will do our best to catch him, which can also be regarded as revenge for your people."
"I hope so.
Anyway, the rest is your human business.
Now that those troops have been dispatched, end this war as soon as possible.
I remind you, that colorful-haired masked man has the power to compete with the second-rank elite of Rose you trained. Don't underestimate him.
It was only after we received this news that we immediately withdrew our troops from Benliang City.
Letting them come away empty-handed also relieved me of the hatred in my heart.
You humans are really full of tricks. I hope we won’t become enemies and can enjoy progress together.”
"It depends on the attitude of the Snowman tribe."
"Well, of course I know that. We are also seeking change."
Fred led the snowman on his way, and the magician who escorted them slowly disappeared into the street, returning to the snow-capped mountains where the snowman tribe lived.
After watching Fred leave, Men Yute slowly put away the token and started walking.
He had already heard the details of the evacuation of the defenders of Benliang City from General Wolshi.
Taking into account that the Wansheng Kingdom had broken their first plan, captured a number of encirclement and suppression forces, and many of Luoze's elite soldiers had been killed on the battlefield, General Wolshi agreed to General Ulan's proposal and asked the Luoze soldiers to secretly evacuate Benliang City, leaving only an empty city.
This is also to prevent Dongwang City from making the wrong decision at that time.
In Dongwang City, the cannons were restricted by unknown person, making it difficult to defend the city. They should have retreated immediately, but they thought they could still defend Dongwang City, which resulted in heavy casualties.
This is a bit of hindsight, but in the Rose Empire, a country that only cares about results, someone has to take the blame, and this reason is justified.
The ice and snow began to melt gradually, and the restrictions of Cerrovo Gate on humans in winter were gradually lifted. I hope that the two generals guarding Dongwang City can make a comeback in the spring and summer.
Walking slowly, Yuement passed through one street after another and was very satisfied with the mental state of the soldiers on the streets.
Whenever these Rose soldiers saw Yuement, they would raise their hands respectfully and salute Yuement, and Yuement would always nod and greet each of these soldiers.
After walking into a room that looked like a coffee shop and showing his token, Yuement, under the guidance of the clerk, arrived at the underground of the lord's mansion in the city through a teleportation array.
There was a spacious platform, with bright magic lights shining on the platform 24 hours a day. Countless Rose elites were training on the platform, and the crackling sound echoed all around, sounding extremely crisp.
At the door where Yuement entered, a middle-aged man with gray hair was folding his arms, observing the movements of each of Rose's elite soldiers.
If these Rose elites are unwilling to train well, this middle-aged man will personally give them the most rigorous training.
"Liu Xin, long time no see."
Yuement approached the middle-aged man and greeted him.
"Long time no see, Yuemente, what brings you here?"
Responding in this way, the middle-aged man named Liu Xin did not focus his attention on Yuemente, but continued to focus on the elite Rose in training.
For seven whole years, he thought that the elite Rose troops he had helped to teach would be able to perform well on the battlefield. However, they performed worse than expected, and a lot of manpower was lost as a result.
Originally, he had hoped that these elite Rose soldiers would apply what they had learned here on the battlefield, return with great victory, and gain confidence for future battles between humans and demons.
But now everyone is in a state of disgrace.
Even if some of Rose's elite soldiers were complacent, they were still scolded by him.
Liu Xin even wanted to throw them all into the boiler and recycle them.
Especially the second seat named Aslit, in order to seek greater room for improvement, he was obsessed with one-on-one combat and completely ignored his own troops.
After hearing the report from the elite troops following Aslite, Liu Xin wanted to slap Aslite twice on the spot, but in the end, he held back and decided to put her in solitary confinement for only one month.
Sensing Liu Xin's displeasure, Yue Mente didn't intend to beat around the bush.
"Actually, I'm here to deliver a message on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor. This message is extremely important. That's why I came here in person.
After conquering an underground maze, the S-rank adventure group [Cold Thorn] was attacked by a hedgehog-like saber-toothed tiger and a golden ape when all members were exhausted, and they were poisoned.
Three people died and the remaining five were injured to varying degrees.
Your Majesty hopes that during this short truce, you can send some reliable people to investigate this matter, and keep an eye on the adventurers who have had conflicts with them, so that they won't attack the [Ice Thorn] at this time."
"Tsk, that little thing about adventurers." Liu Xin couldn't help but sigh, "I know, I'll send a reliable instructor. Anyway, there aren't that many people to teach, and their own strength is against the rules, so just give them something to do."
