The biting cold wind blew dryly. wWW!QUanbEn-xIAoShUo!COm
The desert of Odin Icefield is very clean. After countless years of washing by frost and strong winds, the desert here is dry. Except for moss, lichen and some small shrubs, there are large clean and exposed boulders.
Except for the short summer of less than two months, some gray-brown desert will be exposed on the edge of the Odin Icefield. At other times, the entire Odin Icefield is a vast expanse of white. Frost is the ultimate ruler of this continent.
Even now, you can still see countless giant icebergs floating on the sea near the Odin Icefield, and there are countless giant glaciers flowing slowly in the desert. Enzo led the soldiers to carefully climb over a hundred-meter-wide glacier, carefully laid iron piles on both sides of the glacier, and tied a thin steel wire in the middle. With the help of this steel wire, they could quickly Sliding across the glacier doesn't have to be as hard as it is now.
Enzo didn't know that Lin Qi had learned that he was forced by Arthur to go deep into the Odin Icefield. While marching in the desert with his soldiers, he racked his brains to think about how to deal with it this time.
If he returned to New Dunerq with absolutely nothing, he would most likely be subject to military law. But if you work very hard to complete the task, the aliens in early summer will not be easy to deal with. After a long winter and spring, the Odin Icefield in early summer is the most dangerous time. Countless aliens will come out to hunt everywhere. Once they are entangled by an alien hunting team, it will be really fatal.
The best result is to snipe and kill two or three important targets on the edge of the Odin Icefield, and then take it back and make a deal.
No matter how arrogant Arthur's thugs were, they would not dare to execute Enzo indiscriminately. They would just put a few of them in a water prison and torture them for a while. Enzo didn't care about this kind of thing. Over the years, he has long been accustomed to living in a water prison.
It was a hard day's trek in the desert. As night fell, Enzo and others finally arrived at Black Snake Valley.
This is a valley with rugged rocks and extremely complex terrain. The twisted valley floor stretches for more than three hundred miles. There are tiny rat holes and snake burrows everywhere. A huge number of rock rats make a difficult living relying on plant roots, and their existence supports an extremely large number of black snakes.
The black snakes here are non-venomous. It has no other effects and has no natural enemies. So they lived happily in this valley, and their flesh was tender and plump. Enzo had tasted the delicacy of the black snakes in the Black Snake Valley several times, and this time he specially chose this place as a temporary base camp.
About three miles into the Black Snake Valley, we chose an open space and set up a tent. We dug trenches around it and sprinkled powder to repel snakes and insects. Enzo took out two more magic scrolls and turned the soil near the camp into a solid rock formation. At the same time, two stone walls were raised and connected to the surrounding boulders, firmly guarding the camp.
The three hundred soldiers who followed Enzo were all elites who had experienced hundreds of battles, and they were all veterans who had rolled among the dead. For several years, he was born and died on the battlefield. Coupled with Enzo's deliberate teaching, these soldiers generally have the strength to achieve status. Three hundred status warriors. Such an army would be a first-rate force in any empire in the Western Continent.
Enzo didn't need to talk nonsense. The soldiers had spontaneously arranged for night guarding and roving scouts. At the same time, a group of soldiers went deep into the Black Snake Valley. In just one hour, they captured more than two hundred fat snakes alive.
Being able to follow Enzo and crawl out from traps and ambushes again and again, these soldiers have extremely strong survival abilities in the wild.
The sharp dagger split open the tough skin of the black snake, and the soldiers swallowed the snake's gall into their belly with a smile of enjoyment. All the snake skins were peeled off, and after a little washing, they turned into long flexible ropes. The snake meat is cut into sections and thrown into the soup pot. Just add a little bit of salt foam and throw in a little bit of dried vegetable leaves and other things, and the excellent snake soup is ready.
Although these black snakes are not even magical beasts, they are able to freely reproduce a huge group in such a cruel environment as the Odin Icefield. Their vitality is extremely tenacious, and the energy contained in their blood is also extremely strong. The snake soup stewed with black snake meat contains a huge amount of calories. A large bowl of snake soup is enough to keep these warriors warm despite the biting cold wind.
After gulping down the snake soup and spitting out a few snake bones, Enzo dropped the iron bowl and started to patrol around the camp with Vic. This is also Enzo's old habit every time he takes people out. Any negligence on the battlefield may kill them. Only by being careful, careful, and more careful can he and more soldiers survive.
After checking the tent where the baggage was stored, checking the sentry posts around, and getting familiar with the nearby terrain, the sky turned completely dark.
The night in the Odin Icefield is particularly clear. Because there is no interruption from the city lights, the starry sky here is particularly clear. Here, you can see many times more stars than in the city. Countless planets shining with colorful light hang in the night sky, densely packed to form a brilliant curtain of light.
Under the starlight, Enzo sat upright on a big rock. There was a crude topographic map of the Odin Icefield in front of them, and they discussed the future action plan in a low voice. The Odin Icefield is an absolutely forbidden area for humans in the Western Continent. This topographic map is extremely crude. It only roughly depicts the general directions of some important landforms in the Odin Icefield. However, this has already sacrificed dozens of people in the Western Continent. Thousands of intelligence officers achieved this result with great difficulty.
The biting cold wind howled, and the hissing sounds of countless black snakes could be heard in the distance. There was also the sound of a rock rat being hunted by a black snake before it died. But whether it was a hiss or a squeak, none of these noises could break the terrible silence of Black Snake Valley.
"Arthur is being cruel this time. He wants us to capture a wizard! This is making it clear that he wants us to die!"
"But it's not surprising. Which of the tasks we have received over the years is easy to complete? Don't we live well?"
"But this time it was obviously Arthur who gave the order himself. In the past, we lost soldiers and generals but were demoted one after another. This time..."
"Well, if we go back empty-handed without any results this time, we will be in big trouble."
A group of people sat around Enzo, discussing in low voices how to handle this matter. This mission was different from the previous missions that required death. In the past, they either attacked the orc hunting teams, raided foreign villages, or defended an important stronghold. At least they all had specific goals to carry out.
But this time, Arthur played tricks on them, just asking them to capture a wizard!
But no one knows where the branches of Odin's Temple are, and no one knows where to find the wizards of Odin's Temple. Moreover, any wizard is surrounded by a large group of holy guards, who are the souls of the alien tribe. If you want to attack them, unless you send out a large army, you can only rely on more than 300 soldiers. Even if they are all veterans and elites, it will be an act of death.
"Wizards are impossible!" Enzo stroked the map lines on the parchment and said in a low voice: "But if we go back empty-handed, we will definitely be unlucky, there is no doubt about it. So, let's hang out here for a while. , try to attack and kill two or three orc hunting teams, kill a few foreign leaders, and if you can kill their royal family or members of the royal family, that would be even better!"
Distributing the magic scrolls sent by Gaya to Vic and other old brothers one by one, Enzo said solemnly: "Don't be stingy, use these things when they should be used. Anyway, our goal this time is to let the brothers Let’s go back one by one! Moreover, we can’t let those bastards find an excuse to deal with us!”
Just as Enzo was speaking, a long wolf howl suddenly came from the desert in the distance.
Enzo and the others closed their mouths at the same time. They turned their heads, their ears twitched slightly, and listened quietly to the shrill wolf howl.
Vic's expression suddenly changed, and he murmured in a low voice: "It's the roar of a werewolf, not a pack of wild wolves, but a werewolf! Moreover, it's a werewolf from the Blue Wolf Clan, a powerful fighting tribe of the werewolf Clan!"
Having dealt with foreigners for so many years and fought dozens of battles with werewolf cavalry, Vic has long been able to tell from the wolf howls whether it is the cry of a werewolf or an ordinary wolf pack, and he can distinguish more clearly. What kind of werewolf is the howling werewolf
Among the werewolves, the Green Werewolf belongs to the middle and lower class of werewolf warriors who have the strongest fighting ability and the most tenacious will to fight. The howl of the green wolf is high-pitched, sharp, and faintly tinny, making it the easiest to distinguish.
Suddenly thousands of green lights lit up in the distance. With the bright starlight in the sky, Enzo and others simultaneously saw the wolf cavalry coming towards us like a tide more than ten miles away - three thousand wolf cavalry, ten thousand wolf cavalry, etc. A pack of wild wolves above the head!
Three thousand wolf cavalry are terrifying enough, but what is even more terrifying is the group of more than 10,000 wild wolves that have been so hungry after the long ice season that they have to chew stones. The wild wolves in the Odin Icefield are much more powerful than the wolves in the Western Continent. They are more than two meters long and their strength is comparable to those crazy bulls in the Western Continent. Five wild wolves can easily kill a low-level warrior. !
There are more than 10,000 wild wolves. If such a hungry and crazy wild wolf pack appears on the frontal battlefield, a 10,000-person heavy infantry division will have to pay an extremely heavy price in order to take advantage of the equipment to defeat these wild wolves. The wolf is eliminated.
"Enemy attack! Prepare for war!" Enzo roared lowly.
There is nothing more desperate than encountering a surprise wolf cavalry in the dark night. Enzo smiled bitterly, the wolf cavalry still had good strength at night, but the human warriors did not have their abnormal talents, and the night would greatly weaken the strength of the human warriors.
What's even worse is that Enzo has no way to escape.
Even if he escapes with his brothers, they can't escape these ferocious wolves relying on their feet!
A last-ditch fight, a desperate fight, that's all.
