People in Aurora are determined to fight chaos

Chapter 274: The Winds of Kislev

"Friends, welcome to 'Grunny's Soul'!"

“Free beer and jerky!”

The next day.

The enthusiastic Malakai invited everyone to the "Soul of Granny" which was docked on the outskirts of Baker Harbor.

Gotrek objected, though he did.

But under the temptation of his friend's wine, he chose to board this special Thunder airship.

"Hey, isn't this Gotrek?"

The crew was a mix of common dwarves and butchers, and they obviously knew Gotrek.

After a while of banter, they started chatting with Gotrek.

When it comes to alcohol and death, most people would choose not to drink to avoid death.

Dwarves are different.

They would choose to face death while drinking, which is their amazing wisdom in dealing with the world.

"Ancestors, why didn't Liu Li bring the Savior here?"

Ever since Felix told him about Liu Li snatching a Kedayi Destroyer from the Chaos Dwarves, Malakai couldn't stop thinking about it.

"The Saviour was severely damaged. I handed it over to the engineers at the Nullen Gunnery School for repair."

Liu Li explained, casting a grateful look at Elspeth.

It was Elspeth who took the initiative to propose repairing the Savior, and she played a very important role in it.

The construction of the Kedayi Destroyer is unprecedented.

This was the first time for the Imperial Engineers to repair something like this, and they couldn't do it in a short time.

So Liu Li decided to wait until he returned from Kislev.

Although he felt a little regretful, Malakai did not dwell on it.

"The Usko River is impassable now, and no one wants to go to a place like Kislev; it's cold and dangerous," Malakai said. "Only I can give you a ride with the 'Grunni Soul' and help you find some new inspiration."

"What is the current situation in Kislev?" Liu Li asked curiously.

"It's a mess!" Malakai laughed heartlessly. "Katerin Boha's father has disappeared in the Troll Kingdom. I think he's in grave danger... Then there's Praag being besieged by the Yankees, and the young men can't manage it. And the boyars, who refuse to obey the Ice Court, are planning to strike out on their own... In short, it's a mess..."

"He who wears the crown must bear its weight," Elspeth said calmly. "Since Katerina intends to inherit the throne, she must demonstrate the corresponding courage."

“It’s really merciless.”

Felix had thought women would be more empathetic to each other, but he hadn't expected Elspeth's attitude to be so realistic and cold.

"Chaos is good for us." Liu Li crossed her arms. "Whether we're taking this opportunity to make demands on Katerin or looking for Eureka, we can proceed without hesitation."

"Agreed." Elspeth nodded.

"I'll do as you say." Felix chuckled.

Yurika was wandering around Kislev, and as long as she made enough noise, the two would meet sooner or later.

"Then get ready to go, friends!"

Malakai only plays the role of a driver, and the specific destination depends on Liu Li and others.

Continue to replenish for one day.

The engine of "Grunny's Soul" roared, dragging the huge object slowly into the sky.

Traveling in a straight line in the air is still much faster than traveling by land.

The Ice Palace is located in the city of Kislev, just two rivers away from Baker Harbor.

"Welcome to the world of ice and snow."

After leaving Baker Harbor, the "Soul of Granni" entered the territory of Kislev.

This place is far worse than the northern wasteland Liu Li had seen. There is almost no vegetation except a few sparse old trees and a pile of tundra.

The wind is as cold as a knife, and there are beastmen lurking in every corner.

Everything tells them how harsh the environment here is.

Fortunately, with the "Soul of Granni", they don't have to face the harassment of these evil creatures.

The sailing speed is very fast.

After a few days, they arrived at the city of Kislev.

The huge shadow cast by the Thunder Airship made the defenders of Kislev feel like they were facing a formidable enemy and they prepared for battle.

"Those are Cossars. They are the main force of the Kislev army." Espes explained to Liu Li, "Following them are the armored Cossars. They are the core force. They wear heavy armor and are equipped with pistols with short range. Ordinary people will be shot into sieves before they can fight them..."

"Strange..." Elspeth paused. "Neither of the two Royal Guards showed up, and there seem to be only a handful of Winged Hussars..."

The high-altitude vision provided by the "Soul of Granni" allowed Liu Li and others to have a clear view of the military composition of Kislev.

The other side did not display much military strength.

It does not conform to the configuration of a capital city at all.

"Oh no! I saw the Ya-Thunder Cannon..." Malakai exclaimed, and then quickly ordered his men to act, "Send a signal requesting a landing, tell them we have no hostility!"

Several giant bears dragged a huge cannon and slowly moved out of the city, aiming at the suspended "Soul of Granni".

A friendly signal was sent, and the other party hesitated for a while, but finally agreed to let the "Soul of Granny" land.

But the Kislevite army did not relax its vigilance; instead, it took a more serious precaution against them.

"Everyone, please be careful with what you say and do. I don't want a hole in my head." Felix looked at the dense gun muzzles pointed at him and took a step back in fear.

"Go and have a look."

Liu Li was the first to walk down from the "Soul of Granny", followed closely by Espes.

A burst of whispers was heard, as if they were discussing the purpose of their coming here.

Their leader was a middle-aged man with sharp eyes, and beside him was an equally heroic woman.

"It's the Hetman and the Ice Witch..." Elspeth said softly, "The Hetman is the town administrator, and the Ice Witch's status is second only to the Tsar."

"Not bad, they are all people who can have a say." Liu Li smiled.

On the other side, people were also whispering to each other.

But they spoke Kislevite.

"Vitali, we don't need to let them come down. We can just fire the cannon to scare them and make them leave quickly." said the person who looked like the ice witch.

"Olga, we shouldn't be the first to start a fight, especially in this situation," Vitali explained softly.

"Just a few words, and then tell them to get out of Kislev." Olga frowned.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Coincidentally, Liu Li and the others also arrived in front of them, and the burly Vitali unceremoniously stretched out his hand to signal them to stop.

"Friends, this is not a place to relax and travel. Please leave."

Without asking for the purpose or unnecessary pleasantries, Vita made his position clear through his words and actions.

"Leaving is the best option. I suggest you leave immediately."

Olga also took a step forward, and there was even a hint of a storm brewing in her hands.

"I agree."

Liu Li spoke with a smile, but in Kislevite.
