Chapter 550: Someone will send a pillow when you are drowsy
After the recruitment was completed and everyone left the tavern, the lights of the tavern went out again, returning to its original dilapidated appearance.
The huge body of the Holy Dragon was still lying on the school ground waiting. Richard asked Christine to wait for a moment and walked into the door of the Congress Hall alone.
The Congress Hall has two functions. One is to provide a considerable amount of kinnars every week. Although those kinnars are now just the icing on the cake, when the Hunter family was financially strapped before, the kinnars provided by Congress were still
Very fragrant.
The second function is to release some tasks for Richard in a timely manner. These tasks can not only bring very considerable rewards to Richard, but also obtain some valuable intelligence in advance through the task information.
Therefore, although the tasks are refreshed irregularly, Richard always pays attention to the status of the Congress Hall from time to time. This time, when Richard was on his way back to the North, the tasks in the Congress Hall were finally refreshed.
Walking through the majestic hall, new mission details appeared in Richard's consciousness.
"Mission: Snow Giant's Changes"
Goal: Destroy the Snow Giant Royal Court and make the Snow Giants completely surrender under your command.
Introduction: In the last Snowfield War, due to the death of the Snow Giant King, the Snow Giant Court fell into chaos. The internal power struggle made them unable to take into account the existence of Snowfield City. Now a new Snow Giant King has appeared, and he
The first target is the human city standing in the middle of the snowfield."
The snow giants are different from the ogres in the wilderness. The ogres belong to an uncivilized wilderness tribe and follow the rule of big fish eating small fish. The appearance of the two-headed ogre priest originally brought trouble to the ogres.
There was a glimmer of civilization, but it was soon forcibly exterminated by Richard and his troops. By the way, the four core tribes were also wiped out, completely breaking the ogre's backbone.
The Snow Giants are different. Although they are also a tribal system, the Snow Giant Royal Court has been established for hundreds of thousands of years, the rules have long been formed, and it also has its own civilization.
Although the Snow Giants were defeated miserably in the last battle, a Snow Giant King was also involved, and the Royal Court's vitality was seriously injured, but it was not completely wiped out. Snowfield City only temporarily stabilized its existence through a big battle, and it was considered a victory.
Just a nail, it is still very early to conquer the snowfield. The snow giant is very unconvinced by the little human beings.
Under normal circumstances, when the royal court quickly elects a new king, it must immediately launch the second round of offensive against Snowfield City. It shouldn't take so long, but an accident occurred here.
The snow giant king's inheritance token was lost due to the death of the previous snow giant king. The ice and snow key that can mobilize the surrounding wind and snow to change the environment is still in Aragorn's hands.
For hundreds of years, this has not happened to the Snow Giants. Without the Key of Ice and Snow, can the Snow Giant King still be considered a king? Without the Key of Ice and Snow, this kind of legal support, how many people in the royal court are qualified to inherit the throne?
No one among the snow giants was willing to give in. After fighting for a while, someone finally succeeded in taking over. Otherwise, Richard would have been trapped in the embarrassment of fighting on two fronts.
The first order the new Snow Giant King issued after taking office was for the major tribes to start gathering. Without the Key of Ice and Snow, he must consolidate his position by winning the war against humanity. This first thing,
That is to first remove the city like Snowfield City that is stuck in one's throat.
And because of his actions, Richard naturally received relevant tasks here.
"This mission actually came together with me."
Richard was just about to concentrate his efforts to completely solve the problem in the snowy field. This task was simply a reward for himself.
After accepting the task naturally, Richard turned and left the Congress Hall, while Christine and others were loyally guarding the door.
"General Christian, a cruel war is about to come."
"It is my honor to fight for your lord."
…
snowfield city
This city was built in a place that is not suitable for human survival at all. It is almost surrounded by permanent frozen soil. Only some strange ferns can emerge from the frozen soil. Human beings are basically unable to achieve any production here.
.
However, relying on the system's direct generation of buildings in the city at the beginning, and the continuous supplies sent through the teleportation array, Snowfield City still stands firmly in the center of this bitter cold land. Compared with the temporary tents erected in the city before, after a period of time
After the development of Snowfield City, the construction has been perfected. The city has neatly built brick and stone houses. In order to keep warm, they even use double-layer structures. Fireplaces are built in the houses, just to combat the damn low temperature of Snowfield.
.
There are almost no civilians in the city, and no normal civilians come to live here. The entire city is a military city. The elites of the Griffin Army and the Dragon Army have been stationed in the city for a long time, and there are dozens of lines on the outside.
The large iron horse has to deal with the attack of the snow giant at any time.
The only exception is probably the dozens of children in the Magic Academy. Who knows that the energy tower exuding strong magic power is in this snowfield city.
"Ah sneeze!"
"Ah sneeze!"
Snowfield City's Magic Academy occupies a huge area. After all, Snowfield City cannot house civilians and there are many open spaces. If there is more land, the naughty children can have fun.
Gandolf also liked this place very much at first, but the cold weather occasionally made him feel a little unbearable, and he wondered if his previous decision to move was too arbitrary.
"Little Luo Lin, look at whether the coal in the fireplace is almost burned out. Why is the temperature so freezing?"
After sneezing twice in a row, Gandolf finally felt that he couldn't bear it anymore and asked his roommate Luo Lin to check whether the fire was burning well.
Gandolf himself was wrapped in a quilt, huddled inside and refused to move.
Today is a day off at the Magic Academy. There is one day off every seven days. This is the rule set by Richard. People always need to relax a little, and they can't keep their strings stretched all the time, especially when learning magic is such an energy-consuming thing.
Dean Gandolf was quite energetic when he came here. He was enjoying the magic and didn't care whether it was cold or not.
But on the rest day, Gandolf suddenly caught a cold. The physique of the magician was not as good as that of the knight, and Gandolf was just a theoretical person. He was already there at that age. After staying in Snowfield City for so long, he was in magic.
The progress in the field is just that, and it is completely impossible to withstand the extreme low temperature of the snowfield through practice.
"There is indeed a little coal in the fireplace. I'll add more."
"boom!"
"You kid, you want to blow up my house!"
Luo Lin added a lot more coals to the fireplace. Seeing that the fire was still burning, and fearing that the temperature would not rise, he simply gathered energy in his hands and threw a big fireball at it, instantly destroying the newly added coals.
Everything burned.
It's just that his action obviously frightened Gandalf, who was huddled in the quilt. If he threw a small fireball, magic like a big fireball could be used as a group damage on the battlefield. Luo Lin was directly in the room.
Lidius, I'm afraid the house will be burned down.
However, Luo Lin's ability to control magic is obviously much stronger than Gandolf knew. Luo Lin was forced to control this big fire ball within the scope of the fireplace, causing the flames to burn fiercely, but not burning other people.
Everything, the fire seemed to be tamed in his hands.
Seeing Luo Lin's exquisite control, Gandolf's expression became a little resentful.
"You kid, you just want to show off in front of me."
Although Gandolf's learning progress is slow, there are two people in Snowfield City who are ridiculously fast at learning magic. One of them is Luo Lin. He can learn all magic almost instantly, and can even reverse it based on some incomplete elf classics.
Judging from the method of releasing magic, he is simply a born mage.
At a young age, Luo Lin's strength has improved since he came to Snowfield City, and he has directly stepped into the realm of a great magician. Although he is equivalent to a great knight in terms of correspondence, a comprehensively developed great magician like Luo Lin can only
If you keep a certain distance, you won't necessarily lose against five or six great knights.
As for the other person, the progress is even more staggering. Messiah, who wants to fight side by side with Richard, desperately grasps every minute that can improve himself. His progress rate even puts Luo Lin to shame.
After arriving in Snowfield City, Messiah, a half-way magician, has caught up with Luo Lin and entered the ranks of great magicians almost at the same time as Luo Lin. The only problem is that Luo Lin dominates the entire department.
The mage is a genius, but Messiah only specializes in light magic and has no talent at all for other magics.
But regardless of the single cultivator, he is still a great magician. Today's young people are really enviable by the elderly.
"Is Mr. Gandolf here?"
Just as Gandolf was sighing, a female voice came from outside the door. As soon as Gandolf heard the voice, he knew that the Messiah had come.
"Good day, Mrs. Hunter."
After Messiah entered the door, Luo Lin said goodbye first and did not feel any arrogance because of his magical talent.
Messiah smiled and nodded in response, then turned his gaze to Gandolf.
"I heard that Teacher Gandolf is ill. Would you like me to try some light healing magic to cure the teacher's illness?"
"this"
Logically speaking, it is a good thing for students to come to treat themselves, but what is the excitement on Messiah's face? Does he want to try a new magic on me?
"No need, I am considered sick and have no external injuries. The treatment should be useless."
"Can we try the recovery spell?"
"Forget it, forget it..."
Under Gandalf's firm refusal, Messiah finally gave up the purpose of casting magic on the other party.
…
At the same time, outside Snowfield City, several snow giant tribes began to frequently enter within fifty miles of Snowfield City to test.
The atmosphere in the city became increasingly tense, because the snow giants began to move around more frequently.
…
…
"Lord Mangu! They are from the Xuefeng tribe. Do you want to drive them away?"
Outside Snowfield City, Man Gu led dozens of Snow Giant warriors as scouts to observe the movements of the surrounding Snow Giant tribes.
After the Ice Flame Tribe replenished some captives, the number of young and strong warriors increased greatly. Even if only a few of the captives were willing to surrender, the power in Barbarian Bone's hands was slightly enriched.
After two battles, the Ice Flame Tribe has been completely tied to humans. Now even if they want to withdraw, they have to ask the Snow Giant whether the royal court will let them, the biggest traitor, go.
If the Ice Flame Tribe wants to completely absorb the previous captives, it must follow the humans and completely defeat the Snow Giant Royal Court. Therefore, the leader of the Ice Flame Tribe, Man Gu, is very concerned about the safety of Snowfield City, and the humans also trust him very much.
Looking at the dozens of snow giants not far away, Mangu hesitated for a moment. If he really wanted to take them down, he could do it. Snow giants are originally magical creatures. The benefits of staying within the confines of Snowfield City for a long time will begin to show.
In particular, Barbarian Bones can also get a large supply of mana crystals. In addition, Barbarian Bones' talents are not weak, so their strength naturally rises in a straight line. Although the Ice Flame Tribe is still only a small tribe, Barbarian Bones' strength can definitely be compared with the leaders of some large tribes.
.
The opponent is just a regular reconnaissance team. With their strong strength, it is not a problem to take down the opponent.
In the past, Barbarian Bones would have gone up to eliminate the opponent or drive them out of Snowfield City. This area was the hunting ground of their Ice Flame Tribe, but this time Barbarian Bones hesitated and did not take action.
"There are at least three large-scale tribal reconnaissance teams around. We can't fight easily. We don't get much support here. Let's monitor them first. If they get within ten miles, we will take action."
"Yes, Master Mangu!"
This is the advantage of conquering the Ice Flame Tribe. It is very difficult for humans to move in the snowfield. The troops stationed in Snowfield City will basically not leave the ten miles of the city. Without the Ice Flame Tribe, Snowfield City will probably become a
blind.
When Mangu and his men were halfway through surveillance, the investigation team on the opposite side turned around and left.
The prepared battle did not happen, but Man Gu did not relax in his heart. This was already the third team he encountered today. Under the orders of the Snow Giant Royal Court, the major tribes were pressing hard on Snowfield City step by step.
"Go and report to the city. Another large tribe has arrived, this time it's the Yukikaze tribe."
Man Gu has a hunch that this battle will completely break the current deadlock and decide who can be the real master of this snowfield...
