Chapter 1943: Chapter 1095: Undercurrents Surging
Northern Land, snowflakes danced in the sky.
The goose feather snow continuously fell on a giant magical defense cover, where it was visible and occasionally concealed, then quickly turned into snowlt, sliding down the smooth edge of the defense cover and freezing.
Beneath the giant magic protection shield stood an extrely large military fortress, majestically perched atop the Glacier Summit.
This was precisely the Ice Valley Fortress, forming a rival stance with the Unfallen Fortress at the Pars Empire’s frontier region.
In the spacious and bright conference hall of the Ice Valley Fortress, a group of Pars Empire generals gathered around a rectangular conference table. Although the temperature inside the hall was comfortable, the atmosphere was equally frigid to the extre.
“General Barnett, how is the grand army faring?”
Seated at the head of the conference table, the First Princess Cecilia, dressed in a white knight’s casual attire, furrowed her brows and inquired to the royal chief commander beside her.
“To report to your Highness, including the 20 legions at the rear, the whole army has successfully garrisoned this Ice Valley Fortress, and together with the one hundred thousand garrison troops of the fortress, the total forces still amounted to a million scale.”
The crisp sound of armor clashing echoed, as the scarred Barnett saluted with his chest and responded, “After a couple of days of recuperation, the morale of the army is good, ready to march towards the Unfallen Fortress at any mont.”
“Now is not the ti for an advance. Do not forget that Brandon is captured by the Otherworlder. If we forcefully siege the city, the life of the royal brother will be in jeopardy.”
Cecilia’s brows furrowed even deeper, then turned towards the royal chief mage in his white robe and asked, “Grandmaster Antonio, is there still no word from Father?”
“To report to your Highness, not yet.”
The old mage also saluted with his chest, responding, “However, judging by the ti, the royal ssenger should soon arrive.”
“Let’s hope that’s the case.”
Cecilia sighed lightly again, looking towards another red-faced, white-haired old general, and asked, “How is the current grain supply situation at Ice Valley Fortress?”
“Rest assured, your Highness, the grain reserves at Ice Valley Fortress are extrely abundant, enough to sustain the million strong army for a month.”
The red-faced old general quickly stood up and responded with respect, “Therefore, please rest assured in formulating the battle plan, your Highness.”
This person was precisely the Governor of the Ice Valley Fortress, Mars.
“Understood, matters regarding the grain supply will be entirely entrusted to General Mars.”
Cecilia nodded slightly, then decided, “Let us wait for the ssenger, and listen to Father’s suggestions before making any moves.”
“I don’t think Father will ignore Brandon’s situation, perhaps we could negotiate certain terms to exchange for Brandon’s return, it won’t be too late to advance then.”
Afterwards, Cecilia changed the subject and said, “I just heard that the Grimm Kingdom’s grand army suffered significant damage at the Sunset Fortress this morning and has temporarily retreated behind the gates. Is there any update?”
“To report to your Highness, according to the latest intelligence, the Grimm Kingdom’s defeat was extrely humiliating, there were even incidents of soldiers trampling each other.”
Barnett’s deep voice remained unchanged as he responded, “The resistance of the Coldfla Kingdom is incredibly stubborn, aside from that mysterious dragon knight from before, there was another formidable sound dragon aiding them. Additionally, a giant combat airship of the Grimm Kingdom, used as a secret weapon, suddenly betrayed them, leading to their ultimate disastrous defeat.”
“I must say, that Otherworlder always brings unexpected troop deploynts.”
After hearing Barnett’s words, Cecilia’s brows almost twisted into a pretzel, clearly reminded of the Central Army besieged by two mobile cities before.
“Rest assured, your Highness, those two mobile cities have not appeared these past few days, which undoubtedly indicates that their barrier at that ti was also at its limits and is recuperating.”
Barnett gently stroked his scar-covered chin and added, “Now that we know their strength, we will not be as helpless as before when we encounter them again.”
“General Barnett is right, but do not forget about the mysterious expert who captured Brandon, we must not underestimate this person.”
Cecilia nodded slightly and looked at the old mage again, “Grandmaster Antonio, it was indeed an ice-attribute Tier 6 expert, right?”
“To report to your Highness, absolutely.”
A trace of cold sweat imdiately appeared on the old mage’s forehead as he shook his head and sighed fearfully, “That person shattered the Absolute Defense Barrier that the Central Army had just erected in one hit, and I am ashad to say, in front of them, I had no power to resist.”
“Otherwise, I could never have stood by and watched as your Highness Brandon was captured.”
Upon Antonio’s words, the already cold atmosphere in the hall dropped yet a few more degrees.
All the Pars Empire generals couldn’t help but glance at each other in nervous anxiety.
A Tier 6 expert, such strength is enough to counter a hundred thousand troops, in the human clans’ nations, it is a rare sight once in a millennium, indeed very troubleso.
“No need to panic, as I see it, that Tier 6 expert must have significant limitations, not as fearful as we imagine.”
The old general Mars thought for a mont before sharing his view with furrowed brows, “So please do not worry excessively.”
“General Mars, what do you an by this?”
Upon hearing this, another middle-aged general of the Pars Empire imdiately inquired with a full face of curiosity.
