A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

Dorok's northern border, Reinhart City.

"Miss, the last group of villagers from Duff Village have also entered the city, and all the living in the north should be here."

An extremely majestic old knight stood behind the blue-haired girl and reported.

"Well, send out another search and rescue team. If nothing is gained, then withdraw..."

Sophia ordered.

"Yes, ma'am."

The old knight left.

Sophia looked at the scene below the city through the window sill——

It was completely white and nothing could be seen clearly.

I could only vaguely see a group of people dressed as villagers lining up at the city gate and walking in.

The leading young man was carrying his sister on his back and fell to the ground from exhaustion as soon as he entered the city.

...Even in the north, preparations had already begun before winter arrived, but this cold wave came too quickly.

Gustav handed over the command of Reinhardt City to Sophia and led the Northern Army to the town of Chartres to resist the giants.

All Sophia can do is to take in the residents of other villages and towns in the north as soon as possible and enter Reinhardt City for temporary refuge.

Reinhart City has ample food reserves and has tall and strong walls.

There is also a giant magic barrier that has covered the entire city since ancient times to weaken the cold current and block blizzards.

It took thousands of years of improvement for the barrier to look like what it is now.

It was built by the city builders and northern guardians of the past generations with great efforts and a lot of manpower and financial resources...

In the entire continent, apart from the Sacred Deer Valley Fortress of the Kingdom of Fajia and the Moravia Fortress of the Papal Kingdom of Mare, the only comparable fortress is Reinhardt City.

This is the only hope for the North.

"Letting the giants take a step outside the north would be the guardian's dereliction of duty."

This sentence is one of the family mottos passed down from generation to generation in the Campbell family.

Thinking of this, Sophia felt that she couldn't stay in the tower and wanted to take a walk in the city.

Let the people in the north know that their only support is always with them.

......

"Miss."

"......Miss......"

"Miss Sophia..."

The people turned their eager eyes to Sophia and saluted the Duke's daughter respectfully. Sophia nodded in greeting.

In the north, the popularity of the Campbell family is far higher than that of the royal family in the south.

The successive Dorok kings also acquiesced to a high degree of autonomy in the north.

As long as the Campbell family swears eternal loyalty to the king.

This is indeed the case. As long as the northern border is safe, the kingdom will be safe and the people will be safe.

Sophia followed the team that had just entered the city.

I saw two brothers and a sister being carried by two soldiers respectively.

"Miss." The soldier saluted quickly when he saw his young lady.

"No, these two children are from Duff Village?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Have you ever heard them say what the situation is like in the south?"

Duff Village should be regarded as the closest village to the city of Melbourne in the entire northern border. It should be more sensitive to any movement in the south.

"Miss, when we arrived, the blizzard had already passed, and the entire village was buried in the blizzard. I heard they said that the village seemed to be saved by the snow removal potion left by the kind-hearted alchemist..."

"...Is that so..." Sophia was a little disappointed that she didn't get any news from the south.

"...Dad...Mom..." At this time, the boy was murmuring and calling his parents.

"Where are his parents?"

"Miss, I don't know either. This child is already known by the villagers as the village chief of Daf Village... He also insisted on carrying his sister on his back along the way... There is nothing we can do... ....”

"Well...take good care of them and keep asking for news about the south."

"Yes, ma'am."

Reinhardt is a large and sparsely populated city, so it is fully capable of housing refugees in houses...

What's more... most of the refugees died in the snow before they could be rescued.

Sophia came all the way to the granary.

"Miss." The soldier saluted.

"Where is Lavoie?" Sophia asked.

"Miss Lavoie is inside." The soldier pointed to the granary.

"Well, open the door."

The soldier did as he was told.

Lavoie is the steward of the castle and a member of the Campbell family, the Duke's niece and Sophia's cousin.

At this time, Lavoie was counting the inventory with the grain officer in the granary. When he saw Sophia coming, he quickly put down his work and saluted Sophia:

"Miss, you are here."

"Cousin, there is no need to be polite." Sophia stopped her.

"These are the rules, miss." Lavoie said seriously.

Lavoie's mother, the Duke's sister, eloped with someone in her early years and gave birth to Lavoie. Later, she unexpectedly fell ill and sent Lavoie back to Reinhardt City before her death, entrusting her to her younger brother.

However, according to family rules, an illegitimate daughter like Lavoie who was born out of a legal marriage is not recognized by the Campbell family. For this reason, Gustave defied all opinions and temporarily took Lavoie in and kept him in the castle. hold office.

The young Lavoie also cherished this opportunity and worked hard, and now he is in the position of general manager.

Speaking of which, Lavoie is about the same age as Klein, and both are older than Sophia.

The difference is that Klein relied on his blacksmith talent to break away from the shackles of the family, while Lavoie could only serve the family for the rest of his life to atone for his mother's rash decision.

However, whether it was her uncle, the Duke, or Sophia, they were all very kind to her, which made Lavoie very satisfied.

Dedicating herself to her father and daughter is her only way to repay her kindness.

Sophia also knew that Lavoie couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, so she couldn't say anything more, so she turned to ask about business matters:

"So...Master Lavoie, how long can the castle's food supply last?"

"Miss, there is no complete statistics yet, but it is conservatively estimated that it can last for one year."

There are more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in the city, and the food that can last for a year is thanks to the preparations made by my father in advance.

My father had already started planning half a year ago. He sent people to the far north to find out the news and went to the royal capital to meet with His Majesty to discuss the situation.

Now he personally leads the army to meet the enemy.

Reinhardt City has preserved a large number of records about the cold current. Sophia has read a lot of them since she was a child, so she naturally understands the differences in this climate anomaly.

It is not a natural cold wave that occurs once a century, but the seven-year extreme cold that only exists in family legends thousands of years ago.

That is the true meaning of "one hundred heritages for the people".

The entire northern territory was trampled by giants, and 90% of the population perished...

Although today's Reinhardt City is no longer what it used to be, this depressing atmosphere is still enough to crush people.

Thousands of years of preparation still make people feel unsure...

Especially when Sophia actually sat in the position where her father sat, she could feel that powerlessness.

At this time, the only thing you can do is to hold on and wait.

Waiting for the cold wave to recede, waiting for His Majesty’s support...

"One year...?"

I hope I don’t have to wait until the day when food and grass are exhausted.

Thinking like this, Sophia couldn't help but look to the south.

......

Melbourne, Port Laupa.

Outside the port, the Dorok Guards Knights were fully armed and ready. Behind the knights was the Palace Mage Group.

A large amount of supplies were loaded onto the ship one box after another.

Richard did not bring the army to defend the royal capital. Instead, he brought the most elite knights and court mages in the kingdom. They took the sea route, heading north all the way to Tafo Port.

In the face of extreme cold, no matter how many people and horses there are, it will not help. It will only increase the burden. Thousands of elite soldiers are enough.

Bordering the Sea of ​​God's Punishment to the west, port trade is flourishing, and the Dorok Kingdom's maritime transportation is naturally extremely developed.

Dozens of large ships were loaded with people and supplies, just waiting for the king's order.

"The safety of the kingdom is entirely left to your lord." Richard faced the Lord of the Coastal Territory and the head of the Burgund family told him.

There is a queen in charge of the city of Mel, and a large army is stationed along the coast. I just hope that the Sindelar Kingdom can retreat and not take advantage of the snow to rob.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I swear to live and die with the territory."

The head of the Burgund family knelt on one knee and swore an oath on his sword.

"Well, I understand that your lord is loyal."

Richard helped the man up, then turned around and boarded the ship, stood at the bow, and ordered Captain Raymond behind him: "Let's go."

"Raise the sails and set sail!"
