It turns out that after the current of Warcraft retreated, the head of Rostock's army immediately recruited a group of death squads and risked his life to enter the frozen forest to inquire about the news. At that time, the 100 elite soldiers recruited entered the forest with the determination to die. When general Rostock saw them off, his order was "how far can we go!".
Everyone knows that if there is no magician and intermediate martial arts above the strength, then enter the frozen forest, it is purely a risky suicide. The frozen forest is full of Warcraft, day and night, to guard against those dark bloodthirsty guy. Fortunately, this group of death squads all the way into the forest to the north, all the way up, let alone Warcraft, not even a shadow can be seen! Those Warcraft, as if after retreating into the forest, all disappeared overnight or went underground to hide!!
Along the way, they were so safe that the soldiers who thought they were going to die almost took the adventure as a tour!
It's so peaceful! Along the way, only one soldier accidentally sprained his foot. Besides, they did not encounter any danger. Soon, they actually came to the great round lake, which is called "the terminus of adventurers"!
Idiots all know that the great round lake can't be crossed. However, because of general Rostock's "go as far as you can go" order and the extraordinary calm of the other day, these soldiers simply went around the lake and went north!
Soon, a few days later, they came to the north end of the frozen forest!!
When they got to the north end, these soldiers almost thought they were dreaming!!
For thousands of years, countless powerful knights, warriors. Magicians, there is no place to go, countless strong experts are unable to cross the "dangerous zone", but let some ordinary soldiers, so easily completed!!!
And... Zero casualties!!!
To the north of the forest is a flat ice sheet, endless. At this time, the leader of these soldiers. A decision was made: "keep going north!"
However, for the sake of caution, the officer made a clever order: divide half of the people to stay in place, and the other half to continue north.
As a result, this order saved the lives of 50 soldiers and prevented them from being completely annihilated.
It's under the eyelids of the remaining 50 soldiers. In addition, 50 soldiers have just stepped on the ice sheet, but they haven't gone out of sight... About a few hundred meters. Originally calm sky, suddenly appeared huge storm and whirlpool!! The strong wind made the soldiers on the ice field stagger!
This kind of time. If Dewey is there, he will tell them: don't make any resistance, turn back immediately!
Unfortunately, these soldiers have stepped into the ice. But they made the most wrong choice: they took out a low-level magic scroll presented by a magician consultant in the Legion when they came to the place. It was a small magic of defensive nature.
But it was this magic that killed them!
This small magic scroll released the first moment, immediately led to a soft light, blocking the wind around. But before these soldiers cheered, the next moment
The next moment. Just under the eyelids of those left behind soldiers standing at the edge of the forest, the storm in the sky, as if triggered by this little magic light, suddenly became ten times more violent!! A huge whirlpool, sandwiched in countless visible wind blades, like a meat grinder, whistling down, that little defense magic. Instantly destroyed! And there are 50 soldiers inside. That is to say, in one breath, all 50 soldiers were killed by countless wind blades. Cut to pieces!!!
Under the eyes of the people, the whirlwind roared down, and then a blood mist with air. After looking at it again, there were only corpses on the ground!
It's a frightening scene. It took quite a while for the rest to recover. The officer in charge of the team had some insight and immediately recognized: "there must be a powerful magic array here."
In this case, they did not dare to send people forward to die, they had to retreat all the way back.
Who would have thought that there was no danger in the frozen forest all the way back and forth, but when we got out of the frozen forest, we suddenly lost half of our people.
Soon, the 50 surviving soldiers reported their experience to general Rostock, the commander of the army. And general Rostock immediately wrote an emergency military information letter to convey the incident to the imperial capital. Because of the rampant Warcraft, the military headquarters has sent people to the north as soon as possible. In the headquarters of the northern storm corps, a special magic array has been set up. With this magic array, military intelligence can be transmitted directly to the imperial capital as soon as possible. It has to be said that this is also the result of a lot of magic support from the military since the establishment of the Imperial Academy of magic.
"There is no Warcraft in the frozen forest... The north is an ice sheet... And there is a huge natural magic array that can't pass through..." after Prince Chen got the military information, he thought carefully for a while.
It can be said that it is this military intelligence that has made the last nail in Prince Chen's determination!
Because, in the conversation with the Pope during his visit, the Pope once said something about the huge natural magic circle in the north of the frozen forest“ This is the great goddess, the last barrier for us human beings... "This is the original words of the pope at that time. And now from the storm corps of military intelligence, this is obviously true! Well, the Pope didn't lie... Disaster is coming. Bang!! Prince Chen hit the table heavily with a fist. Then, the young monarch, with a gloomy face, burst out a flame from the tip of his finger, and soon burned the urgent military information letter to ashes. In the afternoon of that day, the important ministers of the imperial capital who had been surprised by the sudden meeting between the Pope and the Regent just had tea, suddenly received a call from the Imperial Palace at the same time. The Royal envoys brought the order of the Regent and went to the Imperial Palace immediately. More than a dozen dignitaries holding the great power of the Empire came to the palace. To their surprise, this meeting was not a secret meeting gathered in his Highness The Regent's study or in a small hall as before. The court waiter who was in charge of the reception led the way and took these important officials to the "Saint - thorn flower - brilliant" Hall in the palace. This hall is the largest one in the whole palace, and also the place with the longest history. It was in this hall more than 960 years ago that the founding emperor announced the establishment of the Roland Empire to his elite generals. Two hundred years ago, when the Augustine Dynasty was revived, the emperor ascended the throne here, The northwest war a few decades ago, and the first Southern expedition later, were also here where Augustine VI publicly announced the "order of war". It can be said that this is a place of great significance for the Roland empire... "It seems that something big has happened." All the important officials, when they were brought to this place, had such an idea in their heart at the same time. When they walked into the hall, they saw the gold Armored Warriors standing on both sides of the hall, and then they saw the Regent sitting high on it. His gloomy face confirmed this conjecture. Sure enough, when all the top ten figures at the core of the Empire sat down, Prince Chen, the Regent of the Empire, said, "to invite you here today is to announce my decision." The Regent stood up, his eyes cold and heavy, slowly swept through the room: "the Prime Minister of the Empire, acting Minister of the army, robustscher." The old Prime Minister immediately took a few steps and slightly owed his body“ Issue the order of the thorn flower emperor Prince Chen's voice was low and slow, echoing word by word in the hall: "to expand the army by 200000, according to the standard of the main battle corps of the Empire, he ordered the prime minister robustscher to act as the Minister of military affairs, the commander of the Public Security Department of the imperial capital, camisillo, to be knighted as a baron, to add the rank of the third class general of the Empire, and the Minister of the exchequer, MUNEs, to be in charge of the finance, and to conduct reserve service in the fourth war area of the Empire at the same time, A year... No, half a year! Within half a year, I will see a new main battle army of the Empire! " Robustscher shivered and looked at the Regent's face. What was he trying to say, but he just shut his mouth. What's the matter? Didn't you just make a decision about the north a few days ago and just transfer the troops from the south? Why did you suddenly decide to expand the army? God, this is a whole army!! The chancellor of the exchequer trembled. His old face was wrinkled. Suddenly he bit his teeth and walked forward, saying in a loud voice: "Your Highness, I'm against it!" The Regent's gloomy eyes swept over old mules: "why?"“ No money. " The chancellor of the exchequer held the eyes of the Regent hard. Today, the old man felt that his Highness's momentum was particularly dignified“ Hum Prince Chen sneered: "from today on, the eight provinces in the south, except the two provinces affected by the snow disaster, and the four provinces in the southeast, the four provinces in the north and the three provinces in the northwest, the taxes will be doubled!"
