The New Year has just passed, and the winter hunting season is about to begin. Many trivial matters are mixed together, and the administrative departments of the Lan Kingdom Palace are extremely busy.
Winter hunting is not uncommon in other countries on the mainland. The cold winter makes hungry beasts more aggressive and easier to appear in front of humans. The cold weather also makes it impossible for nobles to engage in other entertainment and activities. Therefore, Xian
The nobles, who always wanted to find something to do when they came down, started activities during the winter hunting season.
Riding on tall horses and accompanied by fully armed knights, they chased the poor homeless and hungry beasts amidst the barking of hounds, decorating their martial arts with their heads and decorating their rooms with their furs.
,Ah, those poor little guys suffered such a misfortune just to find some food for their children, humans are so cruel...
"... Galina, if you keep pretending to be a narration, I will send you back. Also, the winter hunting here is different from that in other countries. Those beasts, the World of Warcraft is so pitiful, they all eat people!"
I feel a little helpless. Compared with the porcelain dolls of the past, it is indeed a good thing that Galina is now humanized. After all, normal people without psychological shadow will never become like that.
But sometimes the girl is a little too lively. At this time, I can't bear this kind of expressionless and serious nonsense. I feel a little sympathy for the administrative officials of Siluwell. Such a queen on the stall, usually
It must be very satisfying to be tortured.
Hearing that I was going to send her back, the young queen slapped the giant puppet under her butt with an expressionless face, and the diamond puppet mk2 (mk1 died of self-destruction) appeared from nowhere and rushed out of the team with a bang.
The sound was ringing all the way, chasing those poor beasts in her mouth.
Naturally, it was impossible for her entourage to leave the queen alone. Dozens of knights rushed out of the group and hurried to follow. The bitter smiles on their faces showed that they were used to this. Or were they happy to do this? From the respect and joy from the heart
Come and see, I think it might be the latter.
"Winter hunting? It's such a long memory."
The ground is already frosty, and the horses' hooves can't help but crunch when they step on the ground. The hot air they exhale turns into white mist in an instant. The falling snow turns the whole world white. The endless ice fields and snow-capped mountains are right in front of you. Even thousands of people
The winter hunting brigade, placed in the entire world, still looks small.
Our team set out in the early morning. Most of them were knights with mounts. The scouts and hounds had already set off. The aerial knights should soon bring news about the herd.
Winter hunting in the North is completely different from winter hunting in other countries on the mainland. They do it for entertainment. We do it for survival...
The living environment in the North is extremely harsh, but the strong malice is not just directed at humans. The living environment for wild beasts and monsters is equally harsh. Once the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, the wild beasts cannot find food in the mountains and will naturally come out of the mountains to attack humans.
.
The beasts that can survive in the North have long since mutated to resemble monsters. Under the leadership of the leader of the group, the beasts chasing each other eventually formed an unstoppable beast tide that swept through everything, attacking villages and towns.
In the past few decades and hundreds of years, countless villages have been destroyed by the winter beast tide. In a sense, it has become a tradition for the beasts in the North to attack humans in groups when they cannot find food.
, and the people of the North have naturally formed another tradition, starting winter hunting as soon as winter comes, to kill as many threats as possible in their infancy.
Attack in advance before the beast group forms a beast tide, kill the leader of the beast group as much as possible, disperse the beast group that has just gathered together, and reduce or even destroy the size of the beast tide in the future.
History and tradition have proven that this approach is much better than waiting in the castle for a tide of beasts. Passive defense will only make the tide of beasts bigger and bigger. When all the monsters in the snow-capped mountains come out, any high-level gadgets may encounter them.
By the time it reaches the point where it was finally enough to destroy the northern city-state, it is already a historical event.
Most countries in the North have a tradition of winter hunting. Just challenging the beast herd requires more than just courage. The cunning and ferocious beast herd is not easy to deal with even the fully armed knights. To carry out winter hunting if you are not strong enough is to take the initiative to defeat the beast.
The group delivered food, and the Donglan Principality gave up winter hunting for a long time, which was a helpless choice.
In those years, the Donglan people seemed to have become accustomed to dragging their families to big cities like Diefende as soon as winter came, and then hiding in wooden houses shivering and listening to the roars of beasts outside, praying that the beast tide would pass as soon as possible.
I pray that my home and inheritance will not be ruined too much.
And this is still the best development. Every year, countless residents are attacked by herds during their migration, and the knights of the principality are simply not enough to protect their safety.
In the year we returned eight years ago, we started organizing winter hunting again, not only to clear away wild animals and collect food, but also to re-energize the courage and morale of the Donglan people and give them a long-lasting sense of security.
In the past eight years, the national strength of Donglan and the Lan Alliance has been growing day by day, and their military strength has become the leader in the North. Naturally, there is no reason to stop winter hunting.
With the progress of winter hunting, the size of the herd has been decreasing year by year, and the pressure on city-states and villages has also been reduced. If it is possible to defeat the beast tide in advance, there is no need for the people of the Lan country to carry out the dangerous winter migration.
Thousands of us are traveling now. It seems to be a large scale, but it is just the beginning and preparation for winter hunting. Our main task is to detect the location and size of the herd and discover high-level and super monsters in advance. If the herd is small, we can
If they are broken up, if there are tens of thousands of large beasts and beasts, they will still be handed over to the regular army for processing.
Winter hunting is a completely different concept in the Northland and the Central Region. In those warm areas, winter hunting is an entertainment season for nobles to show off their force and a season for seducing noble ladies. However, in the Northland, winter hunting is a season of entertainment.
A war is a military training, and participating in winter hunting is the obligation and responsibility of every royal child.
Why didn't Galina return to her country to organize winter hunting? In fact, other countries in the North have winter hunting every year. Over the years, the size of the herd has long been controlled. Winter hunting is not dangerous and can be carried out regularly. Only the Donglan Principality was weak back then.
Over time, the number of the herds has probably exceeded that of other countries combined. Controlling the size of the herds is not as simple as killing them all.
She was happy, not only could she entertain her sister during the New Year, but she could also participate in the hunting season and relax, so she insisted that she did not want to return to the country. Instead, she asked her entourage and learned that the domestic situation was stable and everything was fine, and I did not force them to leave.
Along the way, she was as hyperactive as a little rabbit, constantly causing trouble for the hunting team. However, she has a special status and must be taken seriously, but for me...
"...Sister Kelly is the same, what's the saying 'if you want to get the royal annuity, you should fulfill the responsibilities of a royal prince'. I have hunted so many times in winter, and my responsibilities have been completed long ago. It's so cold, I want to lie down
Drinking hot cocoa in a warm quilt and being in a daze..."
We were still blowing in the wind while waiting for the report from the scouts. I simply got off the horse and rubbed my hands and stamped my feet. I still felt very cold. I looked at the dead child who had started to build a snowman on the roadside speechlessly. I had the urge to go back and sleep.
.
"...The dead child is in such good spirits. The physical age can really affect the mental age to this extent..."
But soon, I realized that I was wrong. The three-meter-tall snowman was made to look like a golem, with obvious joints. Then the big engineer inserted something into it and muttered something mysteriously.
The snowman actually stood up and started to move with a bang. It was running and jumping... It was building a bigger snowman!
"Is this an advanced version of a dead kid playing in the snow..."
Seeing me looking over there, Galina, who was already jumping on the snowman's shoulders, waved to me, gesturing for me to go over too... I'm not stupid, I've seen you add a lot of explosives to the snowman, I'll go
What are you doing? You haven’t had enough of the explosion of mk1 last time. Are you going to take the initiative to enjoy the explosion of mk3 now?
Wait? mk3? Galina did mark the snowman's head. So, mk2, is it possible that the mk2 that Galina has been stepping on is not loaded with explosives... I subconsciously moved a little further away from Galina.
"It's rare to see Sister Galina so relaxed."
Unlike us who were hugging each other like rice dumplings, Renee was wearing a tight black hunting suit, her beautiful curves were on full display, and I suddenly realized that she was actually taller than me.
The leather suit made of nine-headed dragon skin seems to be light and thin, but its defense and cold resistance are extremely amazing. When hunting with a hunting bow, it becomes more and more heroic. The knight princess becomes more and more mature, but I got hurt just because I stood with her.
Being so close, the two princesses rolled their eyes at the same time...
Seeing that I was a little dazed, Renee smiled.
"Sister Galina is not like this in China. She is the core of intelligence and the backbone of the entire Lan Alliance. She always behaves with confidence and dignity. Only in front of you can she truly relax, put aside those messy things, and show her true self.
You should be the same age as you look."
Hearing this, I felt a little guilty. It was indeed selfish back then. I just threw everything away and left the responsibility to two girls who had just reached puberty, making them work so hard to support the family business independently. I should
To compensate them properly, let’s start by giving them more pocket money...
"...Grina, I don't have a problem with you pretending to be a narration. I do feel a little guilty, but I really don't have any pocket money..."
While we were still joking, two ice knights appeared in the western sky. The Aurora Knight was back as a scout, so it was time to get down to business.
But the next moment, there were waves of exclamations. One of the Aurora Knights was unconscious on his mount, while the other one was also injured.
Needless to say how powerful the Aurora Knight is, even if it happens to a rookie knight during investigation, it is incomprehensible.
But for me, I feel more and more uneasy. It seems that some of my previous guesses were correct. I was lucky this time. Not only did I come at the right time, I also met my target in advance. (To be continued.)
ps: Well, let’s fulfill our promise, add more updates, and ask for a guaranteed monthly ticket. Your support is the motivation for us to continue to add more updates.
