Volume 1 Chapter 75 Snow and Ice Peak
Nicole's words immediately choked back Kane's words to the corners of his mouth, Kane looked at the knights around him, and felt that he still had some face for Nicole, who still didn't know what the reason was, and became Lord Gaia.
Before Kane could speak, Gammel had already followed Nicole on the spaceship with a star-filled eye, and Armel behind her stretched her hand and dragged it, but Gammel still didn't react, and she could only lower her head and follow Gammel on the spaceship.
"Queue up, wait for the Crimson to land!" Rannet, wearing a golden lion helmet, began to give orders after Nicole boarded the ship.
"Let's go!" Kane looked at Ante, who was hiding behind him, and turned to walk towards the black pirate ship.
Ante scratched his head, and after seeing Kane and Linna, who had left, he caught a glimpse of the Red Lotus Knights who were not kind to the eyes around him, and immediately followed, and from time to time he said with a broken thought: "A good man doesn't suffer a loss in front of him!"
After Ante boarded the ship, a breeze blew through the Red Lotus Knights and towards the Black Pirate Ship.

Northern Ellan Empire - As one of the three major empires of the Northern Federation, the Uldaman Empire is located in the ice and snow of the north. At the same time, the vast borders of the Uldaman Empire covered the entire northern part of the ice.
The ice-built wall, the front-line fortification of Uldaman's northern border, is tens of meters high and more than ten meters thick, and can accommodate more than a dozen soldiers walking side by side. This wall resisted countless foreign invading demonic beasts and the primitive barbarians of this area, but in the very center of this wall, there was a huge gap of hundreds of meters, and a fortress at the gap cut off the only way to the south of this wall.
At dawn, on top of the ice-walled city at this time, a group of soldiers in thick cotton clothes lowered the wooden hut and lit a brazier.
"Siri, Hank, it's your turn to patrol with me today!" said a man in a black bearskin cloak with hideous scars on his face as he approached the two men around the brazier.
"Good boss!"
"Hey, buddy, let me have another sip to warm up. The man named Hank said to a fellow soldier next to him with a wine bottle in his hand, not caring at all about the leader who had come over.
"Hurry up, the horses are ready. The man in the black bearskin cloak took a few steps forward, looked at the two who didn't follow, and said a little impatiently.
"Here comes the head. "Hank, hurry up. Ciri shoved the last loaf of bread into his mouth and pulled Hank as he said.

Under the ice walls, a man in a black bearskin cloak holds a wine bag in his hand and keeps pouring coarse oat wine into his mouth.
"Boss, what do you say we're going to encounter this time? The indigenous orcs of the north, or the monsters? Seriously, I want one of the bearskin cloak you wear on your back, it must be very warm to wear. Siri said on horseback following the man in the black bearskin cloak.
The current Xili is a squad vice-captain, as long as he can kill a few more eyeless demonic beasts, or that group of barbarian orcs, he will be able to become a captain like the man in front of him wearing a black bearskin cloak, of course, this is also inseparable from the promotion of the man in front of him.
"This bear skin is a third-order demonic beast, you are only level twenty-seven, so don't send rations to those demonic beasts!" Hank, who was riding a horse next to him, taunted at Ciri. Not long ago, he failed to compete with Xili for vice captain, and now he is holding back a very unhappy energy in his heart.
"Shhhh It's time to enter the woodland. The man in the black bearskin cloak in the lead put away the bottle in his hand and said to the two behind him.
When the two who were arguing heard that they were going into the woodland, they immediately quieted down and pressed their hands on the swords at their waists.
After about two hours of walking through the snow-covered forest, the snow thickened until it submerged the horses' hooves, making it difficult for the horses to carry a few more people forward.
"Hank, find a place to tie up your horses, and we'll patrol the rest on foot. ”
Hank led the horse away alone, and the man in the black bearskin cloak led the way to a squatting position, following the dents left in the snow, brushing away the thick snow on the ground, and finding a broken fang.
"Chief, what is that? the fangs of the monsters, or the barbarian orcs?" asked Ciri, looking at the man in the bearskin cloak, confused.
The man didn't reply, but decisively pulled out the long sword at his waist and said to Ciri next to him: "Let's check the surrounding situation separately, and immediately send a signal when there is danger, be careful, it doesn't seem to be peaceful around here." ”
As the words fell, the leading man walked forward alone, leaving Siri alone. Siri simply left a mark on the snow and walked alone to the west.
Heading west, after walking less than a kilometer, he found a snow pit. The black smoke billowing around the snow pit immediately attracted him. Ciri decided to go forward and investigate first, so he leaned down, like a snow leopard hunting in the snow, and his skillful movements made him quickly come to the snow pit, and he quietly poked out half of his head from the side, and the scene in front of his eyes shocked him.
The snow pit was full of the corpses of the green-skinned orcs, their fangs that symbolized the glory of inheritance were broken all over the ground, and the scarlet intestines in the stomachs of the disemboweled-belly orcs were scattered on the corpses, and there were sharp wooden thorns standing next to them, penetrating the huge hideous heads, and the yellow and white brains were constantly leaking out of these hideous heads.
Lying on the edge of the snow pit, Siri soon smelled a disgusting smell of blood, which was extremely difficult to smell anywhere else in the far north, unless he bleed, otherwise the smell of blood in the ice and snow was simply insignificant.
Ciri didn't want to delve into the depth of the pit and how many corpses were piled up in it, he had to report the situation to his boss as soon as possible, and it was up to him to decide whether to send more men.
Siri looked around vigilantly, and after noticing that there was nothing unusual, he slowly leaned over and walked back. He took one step back, two steps, three steps. But the creaking sound of his footsteps on the snow did not match the sound of his footsteps at all, when he turned his head to look back. His pupils suddenly shrank, and his entire eye socket widened by three points.
Siri immediately turned around and ran frantically backwards, but knee-deep snow made it difficult for him to walk.
When he ran out of the way for ten minutes without hesitation, he suddenly bumped into a person.
"Oh, damn it, what are you doing in a panic? Did you see the ghost?" Hank said in disgust at Siri, who hit him in the chest.
"Hell... No... Demon, I saw the demon!" said Ciri, who finally dared to let go at this time, gasped loudly, while pointing to the back.
"Demons? Your brain can't be frozen, is it? There are still demons? ha... This joke is not funny at all, I think you must have bumped into some kind of monster, and you were actually scared like this, what a wreck!"
After hearing Hank's ridicule, Ciri did not choose to continue arguing with him, he knew that Hank was now hating himself because of his defeat in the battle for vice captain, so he decided to find the captain first.
God's providence... He hadn't gone far from the marks on the snow when he saw the man in the black bearskin cloak, with a wine bag in his hand and pouring it into his mouth, walking towards him, and it seemed that there was nothing special about him.
"Captain Yuri, the situation has been discovered in the west, I saw a snow pit filled with the corpses of orcs, and on the way back, I saw a demon!"
"Slow down... What did you just say, what did you bump into?" Captain Yuri asked with a bit of confusion as he handed the wine bag in his hand to Ciri.
"Demon, I met him, he had goat's horns, blood-red eyes, bloody fangs, and spikes on his face, but he wasn't tall, he looked like a child in appearance, and he had blonde hair. However, his characteristics are exactly the same as those described in the book. ”
"Hahaha... The watchman of Icepeak Fortress was frightened by a child who looked like an orc prank, and then came back to his mother crying like a bullied child. Hahaha..."Hank sneered at Siri after hearing his report.
At this time, Ciri didn't pay attention to Hank, and only then poured the wine bag in his hand into his mouth.
Captain Yuri didn't speak, but stared straight at Ciri.
"What a sissy, she will only cry and find her mother when she encounters something. ”
"Shut up, you idiot, if you don't believe it, why don't you go and see for yourself, why are you still following me to find the captain?"
"That's enough, you both shut up!" Yuri snatched the sac from Siri's hand and interrupted Hank, who was about to speak.
"Ciri, you lead the way, let's go see what the situation is. Yu Li poured a sip of wine into his mouth and said.
Hank, who was behind him, glanced at Siri and muttered another word of coward.
When Siri arrives at the pit with his captain, Yuri and Hank, there is still no trace of it, and the smoke of the pit has just disappeared.
"I saw the corpses of the orcs here, and the heads pierced by the wooden thorns, and they were nailed to the snow pit. Ciri looked at everything around him, as if he didn't believe what he was seeing.
"What am I talking about, Xili, a guy with a funny head, must have been scared stupid by the monster, hahaha~"
As the captain, Yu Li looked around carefully, but did not interrupt Hank's taunt this time, obviously Ciri's behavior made him a little unhappy, thinking that he was too child's play.
But soon he noticed that something was wrong around him, the snow on the ground in front of him obviously had traces of being buried, normally the snow on the ground should be very light, but the front part was very thick, which made him suddenly think of the snow pit that Ciri said before.
