The sky is gray, and occasionally there will be a small snowflake falling, and the new wind whizzes across the white wilderness with a refreshing coldness... .
There were twenty-seven people in total, twenty-seven family knights and swordsmen with grudge strength above the silver rank, they lined up in three rows in front of Lorist, each wearing mail armor and leather robes, holding poles and skis. After more than ten days of climbing and falling in the snow behind the manor, everyone here finally mastered the basic skills of using snowboards.
Lorist checked their equipment and the skis in their hands one by one. Everyone knew that it would take a lot of risk to leave the warm mountain village with heavy snow in such a severe winter, but they had no choice but to fight for three people. The lives of more than 100,000 settlers in Fengleyuan Wodong were not threatened by the wave of monsters. All the twenty-seven family knights and silver swordsmen chose to follow Lorist to Fengleyuan.
Josk, Berunek, El, Yuri, Pat, Jim, Pete, Pachiko, and five silver knights and twelve silver swordsmen serving in the family's armed forces, the last two One is Tiger Rose and Miss Baisha.
Tiger Ross glared at Lorist with a stern face, while Miss Baisha next to her shyly lowered her head and did not dare to look at Lorist.
Lorist was speechless...
God knows how these two guys saw each other right, and then flirted together shamelessly. No wonder that when Lorist wanted to go back to Maplewood Villa for the winter, Rose had to follow him desperately. He also said that he wanted to see the beautiful scenery of Maplewood Villa, and left all the management of the armored lancers to his deputy, Knight Vasimma.
Back at Maplewood Villa, the guy disappeared, and Lorist was too busy with his precious son for the first two days, only to find that Rose was gone when he was free. So everyone searched together, only to find that this guy was busy sleeping with Miss Baisha, and he didn't leave the bedroom for several days, and he didn't even know that he had a falling out with him outside...
Lorist guessed that he should have ordered Miss Baisha to lead the women's battalion garrison to escort the team that disposed of the corpses of monsters to the wasteland, and let her meet Ross who led the troops to sweep the monsters, and then they hooked up. No wonder Ross wants to come to Maplewood Villa with him for the winter, and he still wonders what scenery there is to see in Maplewood Villa in winter? It turns out that the scene this guy wants to see is on Miss Baisha's bed...
Lorist doesn't like to see Miss Baisha. In terms of her status, Miss Baisha is the fiancée of her deceased elder brother in this life, so she must be respected. But what the memory of the former owner who traveled through the body brought him was not any family affection, but memories of being bullied when he was a child. Moreover, after Lorist returned to the family territory and became the head of the new Norton family, the several encounters with Miss Baisha were not very pleasant, and he even hated this savage, self-righteous and ignorant woman very much.
Miss Baisha is indeed a great beauty, not only has beautiful red hair, but also has a perfect figure and a good face. It's a pity that Lorist is not a weakling, and he's not one of those hanger-on-the-wall nerds who kneel down when they see beautiful women. He has his own aesthetic concept. Just like when he gave Ingerek's granddaughter Jasmine to Fatty Shi, he has no love for female Wenqing. He even kept a respectful distance from such arrogant beauties as Miss Baisha.
What Lorist likes is a jasper like his little maid Irina, or an intellectual beauty like Miss Teresty. So when Lorist heard that Rose was found in Miss Baisha's bed, he breathed a sigh of relief, saying that the family's troubles could finally be reduced by one...
If there is no such thing, Miss Baisha can be regarded as Lorist's sister-in-law no matter what. In any case, Lorist has to treat her well for the sake of his dead brother. The reason why Lorist was not punished much. Now that she is hooked up with Ross, she has only two choices, either to marry Ross, or to be an ordinary family knight, and she can no longer pretend to be the fiancée of Lorist's deceased brother.
Lorist patted Rose on the shoulder twice, turned around and returned to the front of the queue without saying anything.
"Jim, Pete, Wilson, Majestic."
Jim, Pete and two other silver swordsmen came out.
"The four of you headed all the way to the Rock Castle. Whether you can get there is related to the safety of the more than 300,000 new residents of the entire Fengleyuan. You must ensure that the news of the arrival of the wave of monsters is reported, so that Knight Schrader and Bodfinger The knights sent troops to help defend those villages and towns before the wave of monsters arrived. Please..." Lorist saluted the four of them as a knight.
"Please rest assured, my lord, we will spread the news to Rock Castle as soon as possible." The four of them also saluted.
Usually, it takes six or seven hours to ride a fast horse from Rock Castle to Fenglin Villa, a distance of nearly a hundred miles. It is winter now, the road is blocked by heavy snow, and the road is driven by manpower on skis. In addition, the sky is dark and the surrounding area is vast, and it is very likely to lose direction or have an accident. One can imagine how dangerous this trip is, but the four people have no hesitation.
"Ross, Betha, Pachico..."
The three walked to the front.
"The three of you take five silver swordsmen to Beiye Town in the seventh district. What you need to pay attention to is the three newly established settlement villages in the east. They are the places most likely to encounter the tide of monsters. I will leave it to you ” Lorist said.
"Yes, my lord."
Rose clapped his fists in the chest: "Please rest assured, my lord, with me, Tiger Ross, the village will be safe and sound."
Lorist nodded, and looked at the remaining people in line again: "The rest, follow me, go to the central town of the sixth district first, and then go to the easternmost village..."
"grown ups… "
"Locke..."
It was Irina, the maid who called your lord, and she hugged the child and bowed deeply to Lorist: "I wish you all the best and be safe..."
It was Miss Teresty who called Locke: "You have to take care of yourself..."
Lorist waved at them and ordered: "Put on the skis, let's go!"
…
The wind is like a bone-scraping steel knife, whining in my ears.
Even though he was wrapped in a thick scarf, mask and black gauze, his face was still numb from the cold, and his eyes were aching from the stimulation of the white world...
Lorist pointed to a snow-covered high hill in the distance, ready to lead the team up to see what was going on around him.
"Wow..." The howl of wolves sounded on Gaogang, and dozens of blue winter wolves the size of calves appeared on Gaogang.
On the 1st, Lorist cursed secretly. Unexpectedly, these carnivorous monsters hunting around the group of herbivorous monsters have long regarded this high hill as a base for hunting and observing food dynamics, so they can only avoid it at present.
With a wave of his hand, Lorist turned the skis under his feet and changed direction, preparing to skim over the edge of the woods below the high hill, so as not to interfere with these winter wolves and affect everyone's speed. Lorist knew that since he met the Winter Wolf here, the end of the wave of monsters was not far ahead, and he and others had to make a big detour to get to the front of the wave of monsters.
People don't hurt the wolf's mind, but the wolf hurts the heart. Lorist wanted to avoid the pack of wolves, but unexpectedly, following the howls of wolves on the high hill, a dozen or twenty winter wolves sprang out from the woods below and surrounded them, and thirty or so winter wolves also descended from the high hill. A winter wolf, they rushed down the snow very lightly. Although they were big, there was a strange sense of rhythm in their movements. Their paws sank less than an inch in the soft snow, obviously they had a lot of experience in snow walking.
Lorist pulled down his mask and gathered his voice together: "Joe, I'll leave the front to you, Yuri, Pat, give me the throwing guns on your backs, Baker, keep charging..."
Josk spun to a standstill, unloaded his green longbow from his back, and began to aim and shoot. As green lightning flashed by, a dozen winter wolves that sprang out from the woods fell one by one on the snow field...
Berunek pressed the pole hard on the snow, and the skis shot away. The last three winter wolves jumped up and rushed towards Berunek. Josk shot the last arrow and penetrated into the air. He took the head of a winter wolf and flew it a meter away. But he couldn't do anything about the remaining two winter wolves, because they were blocked by Belunek's figure.
Berunek did not panic, handed the pole of his right hand to his left, and then drew his sword. With the flash of the golden sword light, the winter wolf pounced on both ends turned into four pieces, and fell on the snow with dirty blood. .
The howling of wolves on the high hill became more and more shrill, and the winter wolf rushing down from the high hill quickly approached the three standing still Lorist...
When the first winter wolf was less than 40 meters away from Lorist, Lorist also fired, shooting spears one by one from his hand, and the miserable howls of the winter wolves became one...
Thirty-four spears, thirty-four winter wolves, the head of the winter wolf inserted by the last spear was less than seven meters away from the three of them...
The howling of wolves on Gaogang continued, but it had turned into whimpering.
Picking up his skin bag with two spears left, Lorist said to Pat and Yuri, "Let's go."
Pat asked, "Aren't those winter wolves up there coming after me?"
Yuri replied: "No, magic wolves are very smart monsters. The winter wolves who were ambushing and chasing in the woods just now have all been buried. The winter wolves on the high hills have realized that we are powerful and cannot be defeated by them." Yes, they won't come to die again. If you hear the howling of wolves as if they are crying, it means that they won't chase us anymore, otherwise the howling of wolves will be short and urgent, which means Urge all wolves to hurry up, and don't let the prey escape."
Yuri was born as a grassland herdsman in the Havistan Khanate, and he knows the habits of wolves very well. Although one is a steppe demon wolf and the other is a northern winter wolf, the wolves have the same nature, and the two are not that far apart.
What Lorist didn't expect was that the circle he circled would take him two days to reach the central town of the sixth district. The main reason was that the wave of monsters stopped maintaining formation after the wave of monsters passed Maple Forest Villa, but spread around, stopping and going. Stop and look for lichens and mosses that are covered in snow.
When Lorist and the others wiped out a lone golden snow leopard and boarded a high cliff to look from a distance, what appeared before them was no longer a white world, but a place that stretched endlessly to the horizon and looked down for food. Herbivorous monster group...
The name of the silver knight stationed in the central town of the sixth district is North. He and Josk are old acquaintances. He was originally the captain of the defense of Josk's adoptive father, Baron Umado. It was not until Lorist and Josk pretended to be a messenger to attack Earl Cobili's stronghold, Gerdos City, that Lorist was rescued. After witnessing the death of Earl Cobili, he took his family to join the convoy and headed north, and was promoted by Lorist as a family knight in the convoy camp in Nadgas City due to his meritorious service.
He was very surprised that Lorist brought people to North in the wind and snow. When Lorist briefly explained that the wave of monsters was coming, he hurriedly found out the detailed map of the resettlement villages in the sixth district.
"My lord, because there are many hills and hills to the east on our side, only four settlement villages have been arranged. According to what you said, if the tide of monsters eats while walking, it will take a few days to cross the hills and hills. We can still notify Those four settlement villages before..." North hadn't finished speaking when he heard the sound of a warning horn from the city wall in the distance...
A panting defender rushed in: "My lord, the monsters are coming, here they are..."
Lorist sighed helplessly, the four reclamation villages in front were finished...
Seeing the overwhelming wave of monsters again is completely different from what I saw in Fenglin Villa. In Fenglin Villa, it was standing on the top of a high castle. But now it is on the mud wall of the central town, which is no more than seven meters high and is made of mud blocks. Seeing the group of monsters approaching the central town step by step, Lorist clearly heard the teeth of many guarding soldiers "cracking" the sound of…
"We must immediately find a way to strengthen the city wall!" Lorist said.
"But my lord, it's very cold, it's difficult for us to dig the ground to get the soil, and we don't have any reinforcement materials..." North's eyes revealed despair as he watched the wave of monsters in the distance.
Lorist looked back and finally fixed his eyes on the icicles hanging from the eaves of the row of wooden houses not far away.
"Water, splash the city wall with water, hurry up, mobilize the whole town, splash the water outside the city wall, it will become an ice city if it freezes, and the monsters will do nothing to us," Lorist ordered urgently.
The people around were refreshed, this is indeed a good way, the town has been saved...
There are more than 13,000 people in the entire central town. In addition to the elderly and children, there are two squadrons of family soldiers and one squadron of guards, and there are five or six thousand young men and women who can help. With the sound of the alarm horn, all the mobilization was carried out. The water lifters lifted the water, and then buckets of water were transported to the city wall by a ladder, and poured down carefully...
"Brother Baker, Joe, Yuri, and El, the four of you and others will immediately notify the remaining eight villages in the sixth district, and then notify the central towns and settlement villages in the fifth district. That's it. Let those towns and villages immediately organize manpower to pour water into the city like here, strengthen the city walls, and turn all the towns and villages into ice cities, so as to ensure the safety of the lives of all the citizens." Lorist ordered .
"What about you, my lord?"
"I'll stay here, I can't leave, if I leave, people here will lose their hearts." Lorist replied in a low voice.
"Then I won't go, I will stay with the adults." Josk said.
"Lock, I'm the commander of the guard battalion, how can I leave you, the head of the family..." El also interjected.
"Then I'll stay too..."
"Nonsense, now is the critical moment to hurry up and notify those towns and villages to prepare. There is nothing to shirk. It is enough for me to keep Joe, El and Pat by my side. The rest of the people will be headed by Brother Baker , Yuri is the deputy, you should discuss how to arrange to notify those places. You have to remember that now only you have mastered the skills of skiing, and you can act in such a heavy snow day. Whether you can notify everyone depends entirely on you. Let's go now before the siege of the monster beasts, don't leave alone on the road, pay attention to safety, please!" Lorist saluted solemnly.
Berunek stood at attention with Yuri and the team members who came out of Maplewood Villa together, and saluted Lorist with the same seriousness: "My lord, take care..."
