when!
There was a sudden sound in the quiet meeting room. It turned out that the silver cup containing the wine fell to the ground.
Yin Kuang stared blankly at the wine scattered on the ground, which was as red as blood. Inexplicably, a bad premonition surged in Yin Kuang's heart.
"Lord Regent, what's wrong with you?" the elf girl Sophie asked softly, while bending down and picking up the silver cup on the ground. As for the wine on the ground, Sophie just used her fingers to empty it a little, and the wine disappeared, leaving only a faint aroma of wine floating in the tent.
Yin Kuang shook his head, stood up, walked to the hanging map of Narnia, and his eyes fell on one of the red crosses.
The place represented by the red cross is called Icewind Valley and is the target of this combat mission. As long as Icewind Dale is captured, one-third of the Middle-earth region will be liberated. The Northern Expeditionary Army will no longer face any threats in the north of Middle-earth. Then their only task is to be ready to face the White Witch at any time - of course, if everything goes well, it will be as Yin Kuang expected.
"Sophie, how long has it been since the troops led by the Elf Queen set off?"
This time the attack on Icewind Valley was led by the Elf Queen.
In other words, in order to compete for this commanding task, the leaders of various clans have sharpened their heads and wormed their way into Yin Kuang. There is no other reason, just because there are huge benefits in it.
In the past few days, due to Yin Kuang's careful planning, almost every action will achieve huge gains. The leaders of all the tribes who participated in the battle made a lot of money. After the First World War, we had food, weapons, and gold and silver coins. With so many benefits, what leader wouldn’t want to lead an army in battle
And what about Yin Kuang? Those leaders who expressed support for him basically got the opportunity to command the army. The leaders who did not support or oppose him, after becoming jealous, expressed their support for him one after another, and then got the opportunity to lead the battle. Through this method, Yin Kuang successfully won over more than half of the leaders of various clans.
The result of this is that they not only gain the superficial support of these leaders, but also gain a very high reputation. To be honest, the one who gained the most was actually Yin Kuang himself. Of course, as Yin Kuang's prestige becomes higher and higher, the influence of other Class 1237 members becomes less and less. Invisibly, Yin Kuang also destroyed some people's movements. But because Yin Kuang would issue them easy tasks with high rewards every time, they had nothing to do.
As for this time, the reason why Yin Kuang handed over the position of commander to the Elf Queen was after careful consideration. Because the Elf Queen has a high reputation among herbivorous creatures and is also a powerful magician, Yin Kuang felt that it was not appropriate to get into a fight with her. Furthermore, Yin Kuang also noticed that the Elf Queen's attitude towards him had changed somewhat in the past few days. So I just gave him a favor.
It was said that it was a favor, because Yin Kuang felt that attacking Icewind Valley this time should not be difficult. The number of our own troops participating in the battle alone is greater than the defensive strength of Icewind Valley. There are also elven tribes with extremely talented bows, arrows and magic participating in the battle. There are also several students from Class 1237 to assist. It can be said that it is more than enough to take down Icewind Valley. .
However, just now, the silver cup fell to the ground, which made Yin Kuang a little uneasy.
"Did something unexpected happen?" Yin Kuang thought in his mind: "At this time... why hasn't there been any news from Snow White Castle? Is my guess wrong? The White Witch did not successfully seduce Peter? Moreover, , this area has been too quiet these days. The white witch is definitely letting us go on purpose. What is she waiting for?"
Sophie looked at Yin Kuang's back and was slightly absent-minded, but her eyes soon returned to clarity. She walked to Yin Kuang and asked, "Master Regent, are you worried about something?"
Yin Kuang shook his head, and then said: "I just feel that our actions have been too smooth these days. The white witch lets us do whatever we want in her territory, so she must have an ulterior motive." After hearing this, Yin Kuang If so, Sophie nodded and said, "That's true. So, are you worried about the attack on Icewind Valley this time?"
Shaking his head, Yin Kuang said: "Sophie, go and ask Hai Dongying Clan Chief to come..." Sophie nodded, "Okay, I'll go right away."
Then, before Sophie could walk out of the meeting tent, a black shadow rushed in and hit the ground directly.
Yin Kuang and Sophie took a look and saw that it was a sea winter eagle, and it was a sea winter eagle covered in blood.
"Isn't this Hells?" Sophie shouted.
Hells, the son of the leader of the Sea Winter Eagle clan, participated in the Icewind Valley mission as the scout captain this time. Now suddenly appearing covered in blood, both Sophie and Yin Kuang were shocked.
Yin Kuang quickly helped Hells up and asked: "Hels, how could you be injured like this? What happened? Did the Icewind Valley mission fail?" At this moment, Yin Kuang was also very nervous. Because as time passed little by little, what Yin Kuang speculated did not happen, and Yin Kuang even began to wonder if he had made another mistake.
Sophie said: "Master Regent, please let Sophie treat it first?"
Yin Kuang had no choice but to put Hells on the table. Then Sophie recited a magic spell to heal Hells.
And Hells returned to camp injured, which naturally attracted the attention of other Narnian creatures. Then, the leaders of each clan came to discuss the battle and check the situation. When they saw the dying Hells, they were all horrified. And Hells' father, the patriarch of Sea Winter Eagle, even lost his temper and started shouting and making a fuss.
In this way, time passed slowly. When the vibrant green light that enveloped Hells dissipated, Hells finally slowly opened his eyes.
As a result, the leaders asked each other about the situation of Hells.
"Everyone, be quiet!" The leader of the Haidongying clan shouted, and the violent wind element swept around the meeting room. Only then did all the leaders quiet down, and then it said: "Don't make any noise, listen to Hells! He Erls, tell me, what happened?"
Hells' mood seemed very low. After silently looking around, he said sadly and angrily: "We were ambushed..."
"Ambush? How is it possible!" Hai Dongying Clan Leader was the first to shout: "We collected the intelligence on Icewind Valley, and there is no suitable place for an ambush around. Moreover, where did they get the army to ambush us?" If it is true? It was an ambush, so the Sea Winter Eagle clan responsible for collecting intelligence must bear corresponding responsibilities. How could it not be nervous
Chief Bronzebeard said: "Chief Eagle, please don't interrupt and let Hells speak alone."
Hells sighed, his eyes were red, both sad and angry, "Do you know who ambushed us? It's... it's..."
"Who is it?" Desert Lion King Simback said impatiently.
"It's His Highness Peter!" After Hells finished speaking, he began to cry sadly, "It's His Highness Peter! I saw it right! Everyone saw it right! It's really him! He leads the White Witch's evil army. Suddenly he appeared behind us, and then... then he raised his sword and killed our companions one by one!"
"What!?"
Hells' words undoubtedly threw a forbidden thunderbolt in the meeting tent, causing everyone's minds to buzz and they were at a loss for the moment.
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" The Bronzebeard Patriarch grabbed Hells, "Hels, are you confused? How could it be possible... But His Highness Peter?! You must have fallen under the illusion of the White Witch. Now I will Wake up!" After saying that, it actually took out the blacksmith's hammer on its waist and wanted to hit Hells.
Yin Kuang reacted this time and quickly stopped the Bronzebeard leader, and then said to Hells: "Hels, you can't say such nonsense! This will ruin the reputation of His Highness Peter. His Highness Peter was captured by the White Witch. , he hates the White Witch even more, how could he help the White Witch deal with us?"
He said this in his mouth, but in his heart, Yin Kuang breathed a sigh of relief, "Although the price is a bit higher, it is exactly as I predicted..."
What Yin Kuang doesn't know is that because he is consciously approaching the very possible "world mission", the difficulty of this plot has begun to change. The C-level difficulty evaluation is only relative to the difficulty of completing the task under normal circumstances. But now, with a 60% plot twist, the difficulty of the plot has obviously increased! At the very least, because the four children of the prophecy were separated, the White Witch's strength, weakened by the prophecy, began to slowly recover...
This is not because the principal has changed the difficulty, but because the path chosen is different. Since you have chosen a different path, the difficulty will definitely be different!
The crowd's words did not make Hells change his story. He insisted on Peter's betrayal and told the story of how the large army was ambushed. It also specifically mentioned that what Peter used in his hands was no longer the Lion Sword and the Lion Shield. Instead, it was a magic sword filled with evil aura and burning with blue ice flames. As for the Lion King's Shield, it was replaced by a snowflake-shaped ice shield and became Peter's protective shield!
And the result of the ambush... before they could react, they were crushed by the evil legion led by Peter. They didn't know how they died until they died, and those who survived were also missing.
"Betrayal! This is betrayal!" Lion King Simback roared angrily, "He betrayed us! He took refuge in the White Witch!"
"Oh my God! Have we been abandoned by Aslan?"
"Even the Son of Prophecy has betrayed us, we... have no hope..."
After the angry shouting, a thick aura of death began to fill the tent.
