Chapter 248

The snow was covered with blue sky and white earth. After the snowfall that lasted for several days, it finally swept away the haze and ushered in a clear weather.

The morning sun is particularly bright, reflecting the silver-covered earth with dazzling light. Although the howling cold wind is still biting, people's mood is as cheerful and bright as the sun.

In the streets and alleys of towns, the sound of creaking footsteps coming, the wheels turned groaningly crushed the calm road of the snow, the semi-degraded snow condensed into ice, and the sunlight shone like a brilliant gem; the children ran happily in the snow, and the snowman formed their most exciting fun game in winter.

Wrapped in a thick fur, she stepped on the snow-white and savage snow-wind back, Xia Lan looked up at the sky. It was getting late, and it was time for him to leave.

Behind him, Winnie was wrapped in a thick and warm coat with her hands tightly wrapped around her face, and her little face was red with cold. She silently stared at Xia Lan's back. For a moment, she couldn't say goodbye.

"I'm leaving."

Xia Lan said goodbye.

"Take care of yourself."

Thousands of words, but in the end they only turned into simple words. After Winnie finished speaking softly, under the roar of Xue Feng, Xia Lan's figure gradually drifted away.

Behind a window, Pandilia watched Xia Lan's departure indifferently, and her heart began to feel confused and uneasy as he left. At some point, she had been silently accustomed to him being by her side, as if his existence was the pillar to calm her heart, but he left, as if he had abandoned everyone and left.

This idiot! idiot!

Xiu fist clenched and smashed against the window, biting her red lips, Pandilia secretly cursed the man. A crystal tears slowly slid from the corners of her eyes. Her suppressed mood could no longer be suppressed.

In the military camp where Ebranrone is stationed.

Count Heather stood high and looked at the dark and cold scene in front of him, listening to the conveying of military orders in his ears; his years of military career have made him accustomed to all this, but never once made him so solemn as today.

Because he knows better than anyone else the meaning of this war.

In the distance, the soldiers in charge of the guard suddenly made way out. Earl Heather, who noticed the movement, changed his gaze. He saw a young man riding on a white horse running towards him quickly.

"You're here."

When the other party approached and stopped, Earl Heather said in a calm expression.

"I am coming."

The two horses stood together, and Xia Lan looked into the magnificent military power in the distance.

"I've seen this horse."

At this time, Count Heather's attention suddenly placed on the tall horse with a snow-white and divine horse under Xia Lan's crotch.

"Maybe it has seen you, too."

Xia Lan reached out and patted Xue Feng's horse's neck.

"It does know me, but from today it is no longer my enemy." Earl Heather said.

"Hors are just innocent tools, and the people who use tools are your real enemies." Xia Lan said calmly.

Earl Heather nodded without denying it. Sometimes when he hates someone, he will hate them together with the other person or thing that is related to the other party. It seems unreasonable, but this is not the case with human nature.

After not seeing each other for several days, Count Heather keenly felt that some change seemed to have occurred in the other party. He could not describe the details of this change, but he was sure that the other party must have taken the essence of life during the period when he stayed in the door, and the changes in his body must be inseparable from the effect of the essence of life.

This huge investment gambling may be the craziest decision of Count Heather in his life. Now, he needs to be clear about the winning or losing of gambling.

"The Military Staff believes that the decisive battle location of the war will break out in the area near Cantland. In the emergency military information report from the frontline Eagle News, Viscount Frant's army was divided into two groups, and a large army led by Baixize had already traveled across Sloan. Perhaps in a few days, they would successfully arrive at the McInc Canyon. Unfortunately, we did not have the strength to intercept them. At that time, Cantland could not wait for reinforcements here, and the army led by Baixize would rush to Cantland to break out in advance!"

Earl Heather said in a blank expression, as if there was something in his casual tone.

"What do you want me to do?"

Xia Lan understood what he meant, and it was his turn to pay for the deal.

"I need you to go to Cantland first." Earl Heather said coldly. "Silinger, who is in charge of guarding the Cantland Silver Shield Legion, has received my letter of eagle, where he will arrange your specific tasks."

"Are you worried that Cantland's defenders could not resist Baixize's attack?" Xia Lan suspected.

"After all, ordinary soldiers cannot withstand the unscrupulous destruction of a superior strong man." Earl Heather snorted coldly: "I think you know this better than me."

Earl Heather is right. If a top-level strong man put down his posture and used sneak attacks and assassinations in the war without any scruples, anyone in the environment will be in danger and panic. As for whether Bai Xize is such a person, this question can be easily concluded from the experience of Earl Heather's countless defeats to the other party over the years.

Although Bai Xize is known as a knight, the virtues in the chivalrous spirit are basically nothing to do with him. People respect him more because of his invincible strength and meticulous thinking and mind. As his subordinates and colleagues, you can give your life to him with confidence, but as his enemy, you will always live in pain and troubles.

"When will we set out?" Xia Lan asked after learning about Count Heather's concerns.

"Today, now." Earl Heather said in a brief terror.

“Tokens and proof.”

Earl Heather took off a ring worn on his ring finger and threw it to the other party and said, "This is a ring I have worn with you for many years. When Silinger sees it, he will naturally know your identity. I only have one requirement for you. After arriving in Cantland, I must strictly obey Silinger's orders and commands."

Rubbing the ancient ring with residual temperature in his hand, Xia Lan put it into the ring and said indifferently: "I only have one requirement for you. I don't want to see any accidents happen to those two women."

"Don't worry, I will guarantee you their safety with my life." Earl Heather said solemnly.

“Remember your commitment.”

After saying that, Xia Lan pulled the reins and clamped the horse's belly with her legs. The horse's neighed, and in an instant he had already ridden his horse and disappeared from the distance of his sight.

"How is the situation with food, grass and supplies?"

Before the troops move, food and grass take the lead. This is common sense in military affairs.

Turning his head and looking at an officer standing beside him, Earl Heather said with a serious attitude.

"Report to the Count, I have distributed all kinds of materials for winter combat to the soldiers a few days ago. The food and grass have been prepared properly. The large amount of food and grass collected is enough to support the soldiers for three months." The officer said respectfully.

"Three months—"

Earl Heather whispered to himself.
