When Solandel was chatting with Joshua before, her attention did not fall.

Before the team was stationed for repairs, she left observation posts along the way. Those sentries were hidden high in the mountains. Once they noticed the movement of the Six Kings' survivors, they would immediately use fire as a source to convey signals to the station.

During this period of rest, the northern region was dark and quiet, and there was no signal from the observation post, which meant that no enemies were approaching, the camp was safe, and Solandel was relatively relaxed.

When Solandel walked to the sleeping Garrot, she found that his blanket was not covered and one hand was exposed, so she squatted down and prepared to stuff his hand into the blanket.

But who would have expected that as soon as Solandel touched Garrot's hand, he suddenly stopped breathing and suddenly opened his eyes, his sharp pupils staring into the darkness ahead like wolves.

Solandel thought that Garlot was too tired from fighting during the day and was nervous, so she comforted him: "It's okay, it's me. I saw your hands were outside, so I pulled the blanket. You can continue to sleep."

Garrot still stared into the darkness and asked in a deep voice: "How about the observation post?"

Solandel followed his gaze and replied: "There was no warning signal, everything is normal."

Just then, a gust of cold night wind blew by, bringing with it a biting chill.

"Hiss..." Garrot's nose moved and his brows furrowed more and more. He lifted up the blanket and stood up, shouting loudly: "Get up, everyone, get up and set off immediately!"

The soldiers woke up one after another, each with sleepy eyes and muttering some complaints.

These people have just fallen asleep. Fatigue is like this. When people are very sleepy, they can stay upright for a long time. But if they fall asleep and are woken up not long after they sleep, they will feel even more tired.

Fatigue, feeling worse than not sleeping.

Garrot saw the soldiers all arrogant and hesitant, so he directly kicked the person closest to him on the butt: "Hurry up!"

Solandel noticed that Garrot's reaction was a little unusual, so she didn't dare to be careless and asked quickly: "What's going on?"

Garrot looked north into the wind, his nose kept twitching as if he was sniffing something, and he said solemnly: "Something's not right... There's the smell of beasts in the wind..."

"Beasts?" A soldier packed his luggage and muttered, "They should be animals living nearby. These wild beasts are afraid of fire, and there are many of us, so they must not dare to approach."

"Roar!!!" Without any warning, a deafening roar sounded from the darkness. A huge shadow passed by the soldier in an instant, and the sharp teeth flashing with cold light penetrated his body. The sounds of flesh and blood being torn and bones broken were endless.

.

Amidst the shrill screams, the soldiers were dragged into the depths of darkness by the giant shadow. The cries for help became farther and farther away, and finally stopped abruptly, leaving only a deathly silence.

Before anyone could react, another giant shadow rushed out of the darkness and headed straight for Solandel.

Garrot had already raised his guard the moment he woke up and reacted very quickly. He immediately protected Solandel behind him and slashed out with his giant sword from bottom to top.

Gu Qu

However, the approaching giant shadow had agility that was inconsistent with its size. It turned back to avoid the blade, jumped to the side, and let out a dull roar.

The lighting torch was lit, and everyone finally saw the true face of the giant shadow.

It was a huge beast, with a streamlined body like a cat, with a shoulder height of nearly two meters, and strong limbs with well-defined muscles. The canine teeth in its mouth were like two upside-down swords, reflected in the firelight. It has a bloodthirsty cold light, which is extremely frightening.

Veterans who had served in the Ice Fortress for many years quickly recognized that this was the saber-toothed tiger, a ferocious beast that lived in the far north ice field. It was a predatory animal with a strong physique, agile movements, and extremely strong hunting ability. The pair of sword-like Canine teeth can penetrate the skin of any creature except ancient dragons. If three or five saber-toothed tigers gather together, even the overlord of the land, the dragon, will have to avoid it.

Among the tribes of the Six Kings remnants, especially the tribes that directly use the saber-toothed tiger as their totem, they respect the saber-toothed tiger very much. The most powerful tribal warriors have special rituals. They will go alone to the snowy forest to challenge the saber-toothed tiger. And it is the highest honor to tame them.

These warriors are often the best with natural supernatural powers. They have been trained as elites since childhood, and their diet is also filled with natural and earthly treasures that can stimulate physical strength. Even so, their survival rate in challenging the saber-toothed tiger is still very low.

Those warriors who are strong enough to successfully tame the saber-toothed tiger will receive the highest respect from tribe members and will become the most elite unit in future training - the saber-toothed tiger cavalry.

The saber-toothed tiger cavalry not only has a physique that surpasses that of mortals, but is also capable of fighting beasts. Whether it is the strength of frontal charging or the mobility of crossing mountains and ridges, they are not comparable to infantry.

At this time, the saber-toothed tiger in front of Garrot was not wild. There was a tall tribal warrior riding on its back. It was none other than the younger brother of Jupiter, the lord of the Northern Territory. He was known as the "first master of the snowfield". Called Apollo.

Apollo held the traction rope tightly in his left hand, and carried a heavy broadsword in his right hand. Several human heads hung on his waist. The blood on the heads had frozen in the cold current, but he could still tell from the details of their faces that they were all ordinary people. The observation post set up by Randall before.

Sabre-toothed tigers are snow-covered creatures that walk on glaciers as if on flat ground, and their soles have very soft fleshy pads, making them almost silent when running.

Those observation posts were obviously on alert when they were silently attacked by the saber-toothed tiger cavalry. They didn't even have time to send out an enemy signal before they were killed.

Seeing the heads of those observation posts, Solandel's heart seemed to fall into an ice cellar. The observation posts did not send a signal until they died, which meant that the silence before did not mean safety at all. While everyone was stationed for repairs, the enemy was very likely to They may have taken advantage of the darkness to approach in large numbers.

Sure enough, Solandel's bad premonition came true. Amid the fierce roars of tigers, more and more saber-tooth tiger cavalry rushed out of the darkness.

The remaining soldiers of the Frozen Fortress were defenseless. The enemy's attack was like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep, causing waves of blood in the blink of an eye. Many soldiers had their heads bitten into pieces before they could even see them clearly.

When everyone was panicking, facing a night cavalry attack, Garrott, who had been on the battlefield for a long time and had much more experience, shouted: "Take out the fuel and light the fire!"

There were many oil bottles for making fires in the soldiers' bags. They quickly understood what Garlot meant and poured the oil directly on the tents, sleeping bags, and firewood piles. Then the fire broke a little and started to rise.

Soaring flames.

Although the saber-toothed tiger is an extremely domineering predatory animal, it is still a wild beast after all. The instinct to fear fire remains in its nature. At this time, the surrounding fire rose, and they suddenly let out a violent hiss, curled up and retreated.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone quickly fled to the rear without even taking care of their luggage.
