Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 147 Entering the warehouse

After the airship landed, Purficott couldn't wait to get off the airship with all the knights and headed towards the warehouse.

The snow on the ground made it difficult for everyone to move forward. Even if the knights had strong strength, they still had difficulty trudging.

After all, as long as you step into the one-meter-deep snowman, your entire lower body will sink into it. Every step forward is a huge challenge and requires several times more effort than usual.

Purficott was supported by several knights, and the heavy winter coat on her body became a burden at this time, seriously affecting her movements.

Purficott couldn't stand having to be supported at almost every step. Unbearable, she finally took out her cane, and then cast a large-scale alchemy spell out.

The originally soft snow was "frozen" solid almost instantly, as if it was compacted, allowing it to withstand people walking on it without sinking.

"It's much easier this way, now move forward at full speed." Stepping on the snow that had melted and then refrozen, and feeling the thick feeling under his feet, Purficott quickly walked toward the warehouse with satisfaction. Walked over.

She followed some of the alchemist's habits too much, making her forget that she actually had a bug.

What is impossible for ordinary alchemists to do is just a simple operation in front of her.

This kind of large-scale modification of the state of the snow is a delicate operation. After all, the snow needs to be "frozen" firmly but not directly turned into ice. This does have certain requirements for the precision of the operation.

Although any alchemist with the "United" title can do this level of micro-management, there is a subtle difference between being able to do it and being able to do it.

As for the operation itself of performing alchemy on a large scale? So far, only Purficott, a special case blessed by the Philosopher's Stone, can defeat Alchemy as a map editor.

Because it was just micro-management, Purficott's mental energy consumption was not high, so when she came to the door of the warehouse where the Steam Knight armor parts were stored, she directly used alchemy to clear a slope directly to the warehouse door. It takes time and effort for the knights to dig in.

Of course, she did not forget that she had completely sealed the door of this warehouse with alchemy. Only alchemy could open the door again.

As several knights pushed open the door of the warehouse and looked at the neatly stacked crates in the warehouse, Purficott nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered the knights beside him: "Have someone open the boxes and assemble them first." Forty sets of armor are coming out, I think you don’t need me to guide you on how to equip them, right?”

Just like knights in the old days needed to learn how to take care of their horses and maintain their weapons and armor, steam knights also need to learn to maintain their own armor.

Although this thing involves a lot of professional engineering and alchemy knowledge, if it is just simple maintenance, it is not too difficult to memorize the technical manual.

The knights of the White Bear Knights have been learning for a while. Although they cannot be called professional, at least simple maintenance and assembly are no problem.

"Please rest assured, we are already able to assemble and disassemble armor skillfully." The knight next to him answered confidently.

He was not bragging. The ten sets of steam knight armors of the White Bear Knights had been observed by them many times. Many knights had even disassembled, maintained and reassembled them themselves, in order to allow them to understand themselves more deeply. The armor and weapons that will be needed in the future.

For a knight, if he is not familiar with his own armor and weapons, then he is undoubtedly not a qualified knight. Purficott nodded and didn't say anything else. He just said "Leave it to you", then turned and left the warehouse, heading towards the warehouse previously set up to isolate patients.

She could see that there was white smoke coming out of the warehouse, and there were obviously people alive inside.

Of course, it is impossible for there to be no living people. Although the communication between the fjord camp and the base of Eagle Beak Cliff is cut off, the connection between the two sides has not been interrupted.

After all, they are not far apart. It is not a big problem to pull a telegraph wire or simply set up a radio. In order to save trouble, Purficott simply prepared both in order to still be able to operate in extremely harsh weather conditions. Keep communications open.

Fortunately, although the blizzard was indeed very exaggerated, Topperfield had no problems with the telegraph wires buried underground along the railroad tracks.

Perficott had contacted this place before coming and confirmed that there were no major problems at the fjord camp.

Still using the same alchemy to open the way, Purficott directly opened the door to the warehouse.

"Your Majesty the Earl!" Seeing Purficott appear at the door of the warehouse, Second Lieutenant Mikhail suddenly showed an expression of surprise. He dropped the things in his hands and came to her, saluting her excitedly.

And her head maid, Befa, also stopped what she was doing and came to Perficott.

It was somewhat beyond Purficott's expectations, but it seemed reasonable. More than half of the maids in the warehouse had been put aside. Only Befa and a few other maids were still operating and taking care of them. patients.

"No need to be polite." Purficott waved his hand and then asked with concern: "How is the situation here? What kind of support does the camp need?"

"The main problem right now is that there is insufficient fuel. We even have to save the fuel for heating food according to the ration. It is said that the supply at the military camp is about to be cut off. Butler Foster sent a group of people to cut wood. But it is really difficult to get enough firewood this season." Mikhail hurriedly reported the situation to Purficott, with a worried expression on his face.

However, listening to his answer, Purficott asked with some confusion: "Why did you use the word "supposedly?" Could it be..."

Purficott glanced at the pile of snow outside the warehouse that was almost as high as the warehouse door. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, I understand. Is the snow sealing you here?"

"The snow is too deep. We tried to send people to the military camp to inquire about the situation before, but we couldn't get through." Mikhail looked a little embarrassed, and then explained: "I tried to use a stretcher and I made a sled out of wooden planks and tried to transport a batch of supplies to the military camp, but it was buried in snow halfway and it was really difficult to get through."

Although Mikhail's words revealed a feeling that the situation was very bad, he was not particularly worried.

This is not because he is heartless, but because there is a radio station at the military camp that can be used to communicate with the Eagle Beak Cliff Base. If there is a big problem, Butler Foster will definitely ask Perphet for help instead of just waiting for death.
