Just when the news that Seventh Prince Ron·Andre was about to return to Imperial Capital caused a stir in the eastern region of the empire, new changes occurred in the battle situation in the north.
The orc army outside Dusk Snow Pass took advantage of the heavy snow at night and led the entire army to launch a suicide charge.
The battle lasted from ten o'clock in the evening to the break of dawn the next day, and then did not end until the sun was high in the sky.
The orc army paid a heavy price, leaving behind numerous corpses that had accumulated halfway up the pass, and finally chose to retreat.
Dusk Snow Pass's human army also suffered serious losses.
Especially around three o'clock in the morning, the wall of the eastern pass collapsed and was frantically attacked by the orc army.
In the end, it was the phalanx of fire magicians who took action and almost used up this batch of new explosive agents to stop the orc army's desperate charge.
After this battle, the orc army on Dusk Snow Pass's side was completely destroyed.
With morale low and people in panic, it may be difficult to organize another decent attack.
After all, last night alone, there were at least three or four desertions in the orc army.
If it weren't for Orc Race's natural bravery and ability to be careless after stimulating his bloodline talent, otherwise they would have defeated themselves long ago with the level of mutiny yesterday.
In addition to Dusk Snow Pass, something also happened to North Guard Pass, which is located in the middle of the three major passes.
But compared to Dusk Snow Pass's one-night fierce battle, it is not particularly important.
Among them, the one that boosted morale the most was undoubtedly the story of the Tiger Howl Tribe, the young chief who called for battle in front of the pass, but was beheaded by the eldest prince.
In the end, Orc Royal Court, a Hongya, took action, but was forced back by one of the three generals of the empire.
This is also the first and only legendary level battle in this year's Winter War so far.
The two sides stopped talking, no war broke out, and both sides had concerns about each other.
In the end, the body of Young Chief Tiger Howl Tribe was taken back, but his tiger head was confiscated by the eldest prince and became his trophy.
After this message was sent back to Imperial Capital, it even overshadowed the six wives of Ron.
However, after being hotly discussed for a day or two, the focus of public opinion shifted to Ron.
Obviously, there is someone behind this.
"Alas... my seventh wife has appeared..." Doll Ron was sitting on the carriage, holding the envelope handed to him by Sylvie in his hand, not knowing what to say.
"Let me see... the story that Miss Betty of the Karl Viscount family and His Highness Ron have to tell..."
"... As we all know, Elemental Cards is actually a card invented by Seventh Prince. According to relevant sources, Miss Betty of the Viscount Karl family once bought a box of the civilian version of Elemental Cards in a roadside shop on a snowy day..."
"... It was later verified that the two of them had already had a relationship as early as when Seventh Prince was living in the palace..."
"What the hell!?" Ron rolled his eyes, "Their class is getting lower and lower. Before, they were all the granddaughters of dukes and generals. How come they have become the daughter of a viscount this time?"
"Well... it is said that Ms. Betty did buy a pair of civilian version Elemental Cards. This should be true." Sylvie, who was sitting opposite, explained.
"..." Ron smacked his lips and was a little speechless, "Why did she buy the civilian version? Is it so boring?"
"It is said that it is because of my collecting habit."
"... Oh, it's okay then." Ron stopped paying attention to this matter and browsed other information on the envelope, "Imperial Capital is it almost here?"
"Yes." Sylvie responded, "It's about two hours away."
"It's finally here." Ron threw the envelope to Sylvie, leaned back against the carriage and let out a long breath, "I'm exhausted from walking."
Of course Sylvie knew what Ron meant, so he laughed softly.
She was the only one in the entire convoy who knew that the "His Royal Highness Ron" sitting comfortably in the carriage in front of her was actually just a puppet.
The real His Highness Ron has been hiding in the escort team under the pseudonym Buffett, and he is not even allowed to ride in the carriage.
Fortunately, Imperial Capital is already in sight.
His Highness Ron, who was rumored to have been domineering at Imperial Capital for several days, is finally arriving at Imperial Capital this time.
Thinking like this, "Buffett", who was in the escort team behind the carriage, followed the team on the official road. He took out his water bottle and took a sip of water, looking at the snowy scene beside him.
The severe winter has arrived, and the sky is covered with heavy snow.
The further north you go, the thicker the snow is on the roadside.
This area is full of undulating hills, and the official road winds its way here.
There are occasionally two snow-covered hills around, and only a red rock is exposed on the top of the hill. Together, it is easy to think of some wonderful things.
Soon, they will be able to see the scene of Imperial Capital from a distance.
The city wall is tens of meters high and stretches. Looking from a distance, a majestic atmosphere surges in and rushes into people's field of vision.
Because of the heavy snow, they couldn't see clearly and could only trace a huge outline with their sight.
Like a giant beast lying on the ground resting peacefully in the wind and snow.
Another half hour passed.
The outline of Imperial Capital has gradually become clearer.
The city gate in the distance was wide open, and many carriages and passers-by were coming and going.
Even on a snowy day, there are still lots of pedestrians and busy traffic.
Doll Ron's carriage drove onto the main road paved with gravel and headed towards the Imperial Capital city gate.
Once you get to this place, there will basically be no moths.
The convoy arrived at the city gate smoothly and was inspected by the city guards.
The accompanying nuns handed the documents for entry into the city to the city guards for inspection, and the convoy stopped at the city gate, waiting for passage.
"It turns out to be His Highness Seventh Prince!"
The city guard who got the pass document said loudly, as if he was afraid that the people around him wouldn't hear.
He took the pass document and did not return it to the nun immediately. Instead, he walked towards the carriage, saluted Ron in the carriage, and said:
"Welcome His Highness Seventh Prince back to Imperial Capital!"
"I am a devout believer of Church of the Goddess of Harvest. It is a great honor to be able to meet the legendary God's favored one!"
Ron frowned and looked at the city guard outside the carriage window, and then turned his gaze to the surrounding crowd.
Sure enough, many people's eyes were attracted by the voice of the city guard, curiously looking at the person who had recently been exposed to various messages at Imperial Capital.
With Ron's hearing, he can naturally hear the whispers of the people around him easily.
"Is it him, that playboy?"
"He looks like a human, but he has the blood of an orc in his body."
"With this status, even if you become a favored person of the gods, what qualifications do you have to compete for the throne?"
"The eldest prince cut off someone else's tiger head and used it as a urinal. Comparing it like this, tsk tsk tsk."
"I don't know if the goddess was blind and chose such a favored person."
Street Diary: In fact, there can be a lot of water on the way to Imperial Capital, but in order to control the rhythm, I tried to use some plots as background boards, and then I also moved some established plots to after entering Imperial Capital. This arrangement will be more compact... Mainly because I found that some book friends jumped to subscribe... Wuwuwu... The number of subscriptions for the last chapter is higher than the number of subscriptions for the previous chapter, which makes me uncomfortable with my obsessive-compulsive disorder...
