"Such heavy snow... this is buried too thickly," Eliza remarked, frowning.

The Black Flag soldiers, who had approached to investigate, thrust their long spears into the snow, only for them to sink halfway.

"The snow here is so deep, it might even reach our waists. Riding a horse might still be possible, but the supply wagons and the heavy loads won't make it through," one of the soldiers reported gravely.

After inspecting the situation, the Black Flag soldiers returned to report to Nolan, "People can pass, but the supply wagons can't."

Nolan glanced at the road ahead and, realizing the situation, came up with a plan.

"Order the rear guard to catch up. The supply wagons will stop a mile away, and 500 soldiers will guard them. The rest will split into two groups, alternating. We must clear the snow on this road enough for the wagons to pass by tomorrow at sunrise," Nolan commanded.

"Yes, sir."

Thankfully, Nolan had brought a large number of soldiers with him.

With a full army of 10,000 Black Flag soldiers, clearing this stretch of road in one night was far from impossible.

However, despite the numbers, neither Eliza nor Nolan looked relaxed.

Especially Nolan. After giving his orders, he immediately stepped forward, ready to shovel the snow himself.

When Nolan took the lead, the rest of the Black Flag soldiers immediately followed suit without hesitation.

They trusted him completely, for he was the battle king who led them to victory in every fight and conquered every disaster they faced.

Eliza, moved by their resolve, gently touched her chest.

It was clear to her now that she couldn't just stand by; she had to contribute in some way.

Even though Nolan had told her not to join the snow-shoveling, Eliza knew she had her own methods.

After all, her pocket farm wasn't just for storing people.

Pretending to return to the carriage, Eliza quickly slipped behind it. As Nolan and the others focused on clearing the snow, she quietly jumped into the snow by the roadside, avoiding the soldiers' gaze.
