The Danube River originates in the frozen mountains, flows through the town of Meri in the orc kingdom and the kingdom of man, and enters the frozen forest in the northeast of the flat terrain, and finally joins the sea from the barbarian lands. It is the second largest river in terms of water volume and the longest river on the mainland, and the other long river is the Mekong River, which originates in the barbarian plateau and is known as the "blood of the south".

In the rugged frozen mountains, the Danube River flows rapidly, and after entering the orc kingdom, the river widens and becomes docile. In winter, the Danube River is already frozen with ice and snow, and the surface of the river is covered with a thick layer of ice.

The Snow Wolf Mercenary Regiment and Xia Yi's gang are advancing on the flat river, and the tools they ride are sleds.

When Xia Yi came out of the old drunkard's shop, the female elf looked at the two luxurious carriages, stretched out her index finger, and pointed to the carriage elegantly and smiled, "Are you going to drive them into the frozen forest?" ”

The mercenaries all laughed, where would there be a wide road in the frozen forest for carriages? These three are really aristocratic boys who grew up in greenhouses, and they still want to go on an adventure in the frozen forest?!

"No, we're ready to walk!" Xia Yi shouted as the mercenaries laughed annoyed.

"Hahaha! ......" The mercenaries laughed even more exaggeratedly, for the first time they had heard of walking to the Frozen Forest in winter!

After making trouble for a long time, the female elf explained that although it had just entered winter, the frozen forest already had knee-thigh-thick snow, and if it snowed a few more times, the deep place would be enough to cover the crotch and waist, and it would be really difficult to move an inch at that time, and even the snow wolf mercenary group would try their luck when the snow was not deep.

The mercenary group is very welcoming. And with a show off to introduce the three of Xia Yi to their tools, the sled!

This sleigh turned out to be made of ironwood. Even a few rolls in the snow won't break! The seat was very narrow, one sleigh could carry four or five people, and the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group plus the necessities brought a total of nine sleds, and gave Xia Yi three.

Goblins are half as big as humans, and a single sleigh can squeeze a dozen or so! And don't underestimate these athletic guys. They just climb on the edge of the sleigh and won't fall!

The only thing that works hard is the sled snow dogs!

At the first sight of the tall and mighty snow dog, Xia Yi fell in love with this dog! The snowdog is only a little smaller than the lion, with strong muscles, well-developed limbs, and wide paws on the soles of its feet, making it easy to walk in the snow! Three snowdogs can pull a sled! A long silver-white hair is majestic in the cold wind!

The most endearing and awe-inspiring thing is the eyes of the snow dog. Like an agate, it shines under the pure white fur! It is said that snowdogs have ten times better vision in snow and ice than humans!

"Oh haha!!"

Snowdogs run wild on the ice with a sled. Xia Yi shouted excitedly, and the blade of the wind like a knife whistled in his ear. The snowdogs seemed to understand and were encouraged to run even happier!

"Shay! Slow down! Although the Danube is frozen, there are undercurrents in some places, so be careful to fall into the holes! Still waiting for news from the scouts! ”

The female elf hid behind the head of the regiment Harry and shouted, Xia Yi and the members of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Regiment basically got to know each other, the female elf was called Lucia, and I heard the mercenary gossip that Harry had saved Lucia. Then the female elf fell in love with Harry, and ran out of the elf's seclusion privately, and was the second-in-command in the mercenary group with her amazing archery.

Xia Yi quickly closed his mouth, and the snowdog slowed down slightly. They are highly trained. Know how to get around obstacles on the cross, slow down when turning, and just a few simple commands "Let's go!" "Stop! Unlike a horse-drawn carriage that requires the shouting of the coachman.

Nine sleighs dragged the seal of the road on the Danube and drove away.

This is the outer edge of the frozen forest, and the trees are relatively sparse. It is not a human kingdom, and it has not been occupied by the orc kingdom, because this land has no value, and sending troops to garrison it is a waste of supplies and manpower.

The mercenaries were wrapped in thick leather jackets and sheepskin hats, the thick brim of which directly covered their foreheads, and each of them wore long snow boots. But except for Mondo, Xia Yi and Xuan Kui are only wearing an ordinary leather coat, which makes the mercenaries' eyes almost fall out, are they really small flowers in the greenhouse?!

The final mercenary came to the conclusion that "they must be wearing the family's fire-type demon core or gem for warmth, alas...... The descendants of the nobility are rich...... The big family is rich, and they are not afraid of being robbed of precious treasures......"

This made the mercenaries jealous.

Shay is amazed at the goblins, they are really a bunch of vigorous creatures!

Goblins live in the barbarian lands, and they have become accustomed to the harsh environment. Due to the lack of food, they are hungry and eat dry bones and grass roots, and even dig moss and eat snow balls in winter. Hunger every day, so that the goblins can survive in a desperate situation.

Cold like this time is nothing to them at all, and the Barbarian Land is even more north than here! The goblins had more fun on the sleigh than Chay, tossing snowballs around for amusement, occasionally inflicting on the pond fish.

Charity was glad that she didn't have to buy warm clothes for the goblins, saving a lot of money.

Ahead, the scout of the mercenary group came back on a special small sleigh, his expression was a little nervous, and he said loudly: "Commander! Blood stains were found ahead! It should be a human or an orc! Several footprints and blood stains were also found around! ”

This scout is very experienced, his short body is full of all kinds of tools, and even the robe has many bags sewn to keep all kinds of small tools. He could distinguish races from the smell of blood, the blood of the human race was sweet, the blood of the monsters was more smelly, and the blood of the orcs was darker.

In the wilderness, many threats lurk. High-level Demonic Beasts, Orcs, other mercenary groups, etc., Harry pondered for a while, then ordered: "Go ahead, you will expand the scope of your investigation, if there is any potential danger, we will try to bypass it!" ”

The mercenaries drew their swords, and the elves unloaded their longbows, ready to fight.

It was impossible to get around, because after advancing a few hundred meters, a body was found next to the river.

"It's a Pigg warrior!" Mondo shouted in surprise.

Mondo and Harry got out of the sled, cautiously approached the corpse, and after making sure it was safe, dragged out the body that was half buried in the snow, the Pigs warrior was strong, they were the closest race to humans after the ape and the monkey, the only difference was that their noses were collapsed and their nostrils were staring forward.

"Looks like he's more like a human than an orc." Lucia, the female elf, said.

The orcs believe that the current human beings were originally separated from the Munk tribe of the beast race, and they betrayed the beast race. And humans don't want to admit that they are close relatives of the filthy group of orcs, which is really insulting!

Mondo crouched on the ground and whispered a whisper. His voice is very warm, and the songs he sings are very soft and calm, as if he is bringing the king into the kingdom of God.

"Although I admit that Mondo sings very well, but the ice and snow are not the time for concerts." Chailly quipped.

"Shhhhh......h ”

Xia Yi couldn't help blushing, she didn't know that Dao Mondo still had this ability!

After the battle song, Mondo wiped his sweat, and the simplest "whisper of the dead" almost exhausted his singing power.

"I didn't expect you to be a priest! Well, you're hiding it from me! Hum! Xia Yi firmly refused to admit that she had not asked, and the head of the group, Harry, also looked at Mondo in surprise.

Mondo scratched his head embarrassedly, and hurriedly explained: "It's just a low-level wind-whispering priest, who can only be overtaken for the undead, and it can't be used at all when fighting, so I didn't mention it, the beast god said that we can become priests to make the beast clan more powerful, and it is not worth boasting about......"

"Tsk, that's great, boy!"

Xia Yi is extremely proud, the "golden warriors" of the lion and tiger tribes are very powerful, but there are very few priests, only the Mondo lion clan has a priest. Now that Mondo has been expelled, it can be said that the priesthood of the lion and tiger tribes has almost been cut off.

Mondo mentions when he first summons Shay that he has the potential to become a priest, and he has learned several simple blessing techniques, but in order to become a true priest, he must appreciate the war songs, the simplest of which is the "Whisper of the Dead", which is also the hallmark of the Windwhispering Priesthood.

"Singing can also cast spells?!" Shay didn't know anything about it.

"It's not a spell, it's not a song! It's a war song! Priests are different from human mages, on the battlefield, weaken the enemy through war songs, and can also bless orc warriors with shields, increase speed, increase defense and strength, etc., such as sacrificial war songs, which can make the warriors bathe their bodies in the fire of the altar dedicated to the god of war, the fire of the altar can burn the soul of the enemy, but the sacrificial war song can only be chanted by the scepter priest. ”

Xia Yi roughly understood that the orcs were extremely dependent on warriors, and priests were also in the service of warriors, unlike human mages, whose single combat ability and range spells were daunting. This does not mean that the mage is more powerful, on the contrary, in large battles, the priest plays a role that the mage cannot compare.

"Priests don't have offensive war songs?" Shay asked.

Mondo thought for a moment and said, "There should be, the priests of the beast clan can't be taught, almost all of them rely on their own comprehension, and the war songs they comprehend have slight differences, and there are also priests who comprehend offensive war songs. ”

The sleigh began to enter the frozen forest, and along the banks of the Danube, two more corpses of the Pigs orcs were found, and the faint murderous intent and blood in the air made the mercenary group and Xia Yi feel that the murderer was getting closer and closer.
