The cold wind howls in the north, and the dark forest is like a natural climate barrier. To the south of the forest, there is a scene of green and wilderness, while to the north of the forest, it is covered with snow all year round. In addition to the tundra, there is wasteland and even grassland.
They are all very scarce. Fortunately, everyone is mentally prepared for this.
For this force, the only supply station north of the border is Dulong City. However, in order not to cause trouble to the dwarves, Rhodes chose to have the troops bypass Dulong City and head directly to the Troll Mountains. You know, if
Tiepi knew that there was a large dwarf fortress like Dulong City in the north. Otherwise, the war would most likely burn directly to the dwarves' hometown. This was something Rhode didn't want to see, and he couldn't do it.
Finally, half a month later, under the leadership of the dwarf Bogul, everyone arrived at the legendary Troll Mountains. If there are people to the north of the dark forest, then the Troll Mountains are undoubtedly a forbidden land for humans. The team
, few people have actually entered it.
Those adventurers who went in rarely came out again. The endless snow-capped mountains stood before their eyes. Everyone could not help but frown, looking at the stretching mountains, unable to do anything. Only Boguer, Caroline, and Rhodes' good partners
——The giant bear Ursok was extremely excited.
For the butcher Bogur, he is one step closer to the road of revenge. For the white bear, this place was originally his home... and for Caroline, the colder the climate, the more her spirit can be
Exciting. Even if he doesn't understand magic, Rhodes can feel that his wife's strength is increasing every day. It's like she is undergoing an advanced trial from the Frost Witch.
However, under normal circumstances, if a frost witch decides to advance, she will go to the extreme cold land of the north alone to study the true meaning of ice magic. Moreover, this witch will usually remain chaste for life. But Caroline is different.
The thing is, she didn't originally plan to advance. She thought her talent was there, and she couldn't continue to develop and progress. So, she gave her virginity to Rhodes. But she never thought that the change of magic power was in her body.
Going on unconsciously...
"Distribute all the food. From today on, we have to plan to eat. Because once we enter the snowy mountains, we will no longer have a source of food."
Standing at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, Rhodes turned around and spoke to everyone.
The heavy feeling was palpable. Some people had frostbite and really didn’t know what to do after entering the snowy mountains.
…
The strong wind is raging in the canyon, with a giant roar, echoing in everyone's ears. There are no four seasons here, because there are no four seasons here. The only season is winter...
The snowflakes coming towards us are getting denser and colder. The mist lingers in the mountains, completely hiding the upper half of the mountains. The road in the canyon is getting narrower and steeper. The dwarves still have physical strength.
Okay, but many northern warriors are exhausted. What defeats them is not the green-skinned orcs, but the harsh and cruel natural environment.
For more than half of the day, boulders block the sun, and men and horses move forward in the shadows, their breath forming frost in the air. The dwarves’ beards solidify together, turning into a mixture of ice slag and beards. Luo
De knew that these knights in the army would all become warriors in maybe ten days and a half months... Because when food is scarce, horses are the only thing that can become food. Although knights do not eat war horses, but when it comes to that
At that time, not to mention war horses, corpses would be eaten...
The road became narrower and narrower. When it reached the halfway point of the mountain, it could only accommodate one person. The horses neighed uneasily and did not want to continue going up the mountain. There was no grass growing on the snow-capped mountains. Going up was like entering the gate of hell. The soldiers held on to the reins with all their strength.
, and then reluctantly dragged the horses onto the road.
White Bear followed Rhodes, looking left and right from time to time, as if he had discovered some danger hidden in the white snow curtain.
"Hey buddy, what did you find?"
Rhodes stroked the white bear with his big iron-covered hands, but he still couldn't calm its vigilant nerves. The white bear ran forward with a roar, overlooking the entire snow-capped mountain from the top of the highest mountain. A pair of blood-red eyes stared at half of the mountain.
A group of huge creatures are moving on the mountainside.
When Rhodes and Bogul ran up the hill panting, they saw a group of bulky rhinos migrating halfway up the hillside.
"Woolly Rhino!"
Bogul narrowed his eyes and said.
Although it was the first time to see this kind of creature, Rhodes was not unfamiliar with them. Yeskovich once told himself about this kind of creature. The woolly rhinoceros is a rare large animal in the mountains. Encountering them
The probability of encountering them is extremely low. If you encounter them, the best way is to avoid them as much as possible. These behemoths weigh more than a heavy carriage, and they can even knock down ordinary earthen city walls when charging. Although they are herbivores, they are
Wooly rhinos are violent by nature. As long as something blocks their path, they will not detour, but will rush over and knock over these obstacles. Groups of woolly rhinos moving together are the best choice for hunters.
Nightmare. Because its rough and thick fur can even block the penetration of ordinary arrows.
"How about it? Do you want to go down and kill one for dinner tonight?"
Bogul was eager to give it a try, while Rhodes frowned. Because he was not acting alone. He was leading one of the most elite troops in the North. They were the future of the North. No matter what decision he made, he had to be careful.
Be careful. Reason defeated impulse. Rhodes just stopped the advance of the large army and let the group of woolly rhinos pass first.
After all, they will attack if they smell anything that is not of the same kind.
Although these guys have poor eyesight, their hearing and sense of smell are a hundred times more sensitive than humans. The goal of entering the Troll Mountains this time is to lead Ironhide to the Troll King's lair. This is the main task, and everything else is secondary. It can't be
Let the troops take this risk. Although they will get valuable meat after hunting them, no one can guarantee that the soldiers will not be crushed into minced meat by these woolly rhinos... After all, except for Bogul and Yesi, the troops
Kovich, no third person has experience hunting woolly rhinos.
Rhodes knew that if Ironhide led his team to pass by, he would definitely kill these creatures without hesitation. Similarly, the unyielding Wooly Rhino would try his best to collide with the greenskins. There would definitely be a wonderful battle between them. But the greenskins
The amount allows them to take such risks.
"What happened ahead?"
Jigur, the lord of Midwinter Castle, climbed up from the trail panting and questioned Rhodes. It was not a good thing to stop in the cold weather, as the soldiers would freeze.
"The woolly rhinos are going to pass by, and we have to wait for them to pass before moving on."
Rhodes said, pointing to the moving herd of brown beasts on the hillside.
