"The current situation is that the Black Orc Grimgor Ironhide is rushing here with a large number of greenskins. What we have to do is to continue on the road and lure them away, to the Troll Mountains, to the Troll King's lair.
.This is a near-death mission."
The storm of Cyril's death quickly passed. When the green-skinned threat was right in front of them, people had no time to care about the heir to Fort Watch. Similarly, with Rhode's acquiescence, Trani had already begun to take care of the young child.
His son Bradley helped him ascend to the throne of lord. In fact, he had already ascended to the throne of lord.
As soon as the new lord took office, he immediately ushered in a big meeting related to the life and death of the Northern Territory. Rhodes presided over the meeting, and everyone listened quietly below. Participants in the meeting included other Northern Territory lords, knights, infantry commanders, and Ugor
Captain of the cavalry, captain of the dwarf guard, high-ranking member of the Knights of the Sons of Esun, etc.
As things have developed so far, Lord White Bear has become the core of the entire Northern Territory. There is almost no objection to this, not only because of Rhodes' strong personal combat effectiveness, but also because Black Hammer Castle has experienced development in the past few years and has become the most powerful force in the Northern Territory.
The most prosperous and powerful castle. At the same time, only Black Hammer Castle can dispatch more than 2,000 troops at once.
"I can only take a few warriors with me. Because the Troll Mountains are an extremely dangerous mountain range. Once we enter there, we will face endless winds and ice and snow. There is no grass growing there, and food is extremely difficult to obtain. Only the strong,
Only in this way can we survive there. Large troops will have a hard time there. Therefore, I emphasize again that we can only gather the most elite and physically fit warriors to go there."
Sunlight shines in through seven floor-to-ceiling glass windows, forming criss-crossing projections on the ground. Standing in the center of the hall, Rhodes has become the leader of the North. It is he who is initiating this movement to resist the greenskins, because,
Except for Lord White Bear, no one can survive Ironhide's men.
"Needless to say, Rod, every time you go, there is me. I will be with you. And, this time, you need me to lead the way."
As soon as Rhodes finished speaking, Butcher Bogul stood up with an ax in his hand. His loud voice echoed in the lost castle. Everyone saw the scars on the dwarf's body, which were left by countless births and deaths.
"Of course, of course you want to go."
Rhodes returned with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.
"My family and I guard the last Great Wall in the North. I will select thirty of the best rangers to join you, Rhodes."
Edmund, Lord of Binglan Castle, stood up and said.
Rhodes just nodded gratefully. Edmund has been supporting him since the beginning of the Elengrad rebellion. This time when he went north to the Troll Mountains, Rhodes already had him on his list.
"And me! No one is more adaptable to the cold than the dwarves. The greenskins destroyed my home, and I will kill him with my own hands to take revenge!"
A fat dwarf with a similar stature to Bogul stood up. Grondy was wearing airtight heavy plate armor from top to bottom. Many people recognized that armor. In the entire dwarf kingdom, there was only one person who could own this armor.
There are so few people. But once you have it, it is an absolute honor for the dwarves. Yes, that is the Iron Breaker. The absolute elite among the dwarves. Rhodes doesn’t know how there is one in his knights.
Iron Breaker, he asked Yeskovich to be the examiner. It seems that the shaman will accept anyone who comes, as long as you have the ability.
"Okay, you join."
Rhodes announced.
"Lord, I..."
A familiar voice rang out from the crowd, and before he could finish speaking, Rhodes loudly rejected him——
"Virgil, you can't go. It's not that your abilities are not good, but that after I leave, you must take over the army of Blackhammer Castle and assist Lord Bradley in guarding Watchfort. We cannot guarantee that the green skins will not wreak havoc along the way.
Elsewhere. Fort Grizzly is a living example."
Being stopped by Rhodes in person, Virgil seemed a little lost and frustrated, but Rhodes' words also moved him more and more. There are not many people in the entire Black Hammer Castle who can gain such trust from the lord... His family serves the Lawn family.
After hundreds of years, his generation finally ushered in the most glorious moment of Black Hammer Castle. And it was rare that Lord Rhodes still trusted him so much. Thinking of this, Virgil couldn't help but feel excited.
"Rhode, I'm with you." Esun High Priest Yeskovic stood up, "Years ago, before I came to Blackhammer Castle, I was wandering in the north, and I accepted the Troll Mountains.
The place where Father Xiong trained. I am still very familiar with it."
Unlike other candidates, Yeskovitch was not full of enthusiasm, and his tone was so calm. As if this was not a challenge to him. Of course, it was indeed the case. Esun Shaman came from the northern forest, and he
He lived in an uninhabited land of ice and snow for the first half of his life, and had already adapted to the harsh environment. Even after becoming the high priest in Blackhammer Castle, he still maintained a difficult living habit. He would go out for winter swimming in the cold mornings, and swim around at dusk.
He ran three laps around the outer city. His physical fitness was even better than that of the dwarves. Even Rhodes couldn't guarantee what would happen if he took a winter swim every morning...
"Of course, you come with me."
Rhodes said with a smile.
"Rhode, we have rarely had contact in the past, but during this time, you have shown me the hope of the North. For the future of the North, I am willing to work with you."
After a moment of silence, Lord Bertner of Hearth City stood up and spoke in a serious tone.
Rhodes nodded to him equally seriously.
"With such passion, how could this epic journey be without me? I'll be with you, Lord White Bear."
Lord Jigur of Winterfort stood up and shouted loudly.
Going to the Troll Mountains is a very dangerous task. Originally, each lord had his own small thoughts and wanted to see the performance of others first. If everyone remained silent, then as a local lord, he himself would also remain silent. However,
Now it seems that the situation has changed. At least four lords have joined this expedition, accounting for half of the northern territory. If I don't stand up, I will be unjust. If this team is really successful, then I don't dare to stand up today.
People will become the laughingstock of people in the future.
"And me, Lord Rhodes."
"And I……"
Gradually, the scene became heated. More and more people raised their hands to sign up for the expedition. Everyone knew that this was a narrow escape operation, but in the passionate atmosphere of the scene, even men would raise their hands unconsciously.
Join this feast.
Even on the lord's throne, the young new Lord of Watchfort Bradley was eager to try. Seeing the scene of everyone participating in the battle enthusiastically, the young Bradley could no longer control his inner impulse. However, he was just about to
He raised his hand, but was stopped by his mother on the side. Terani held his hand firmly, her eyes full of sternness.
Seeing his mother's expression, the young lord Bradley of Fort Watch sat down honestly. This scene was keenly captured by Rhodes, but he didn't say anything. What Trani did was right, the young Lord
The little lord needs to receive more experience in the castle. He must see more, learn more, and consult less. Because there are many people who want to kill him, and there are also many people who want to take advantage of him...
