I am a wolf from the north

Walk in the endless wilderness

He still has prey in his mouth

(???) Dividing Line (??????)

Under the stars, in the grassland, where you can barely see your fingers, in a caravan camp surrounded by horse-drawn carriages, several merchants and the captain of the adventurers who protect the safety of the caravan are sitting around a campfire with sad faces.

A young apprentice merchant came to the fire and sat down.

Liechtende asked his apprentice, "Camus, how is that little girl doing?"

Camus sighed and said, "She's emotionally stable at the moment, and it's likely that she's scared silly." ”

"Alas......" sighed all the people around the campfire.

"It's all my fault. "I shouldn't have driven the toilet so far away from the camp wagon," said Ruwad, the captain of the adventurer, in a deep voice. ”

"It's not just your business. The merchant Yele patted Rovard on the shoulder, "That's what we all agreed to, and we have a share in the responsibility." ”

"Alas......" Rowald shook his head, "I thought that only ordinary wild wolves would appear here, but I didn't expect the winter wolves from the north to travel so far south. ”

Liechtende took the steaming teapot out of the fire, poured a cup of blackened tea into the cup in front of him, and gave the iron kettle to Camus to pour tea for the others.

"This year, the drought in the north has been so severe that not only have the shepherds come back early, but the wild animals have also gone south early," he said. ”

Then he asked the others, "What about that little girl, she's the only one left now." ”

Yele thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to Corn City to see if she is in good spirits, and if she is okay, let's send her to the Earl of Maccaden's house first." I'll tell Sister Pomegranate that it's not bad for a girl to be a maid in the earl's house. ”

Liechtenth nodded, and said, "That's all there is to it, and if she's not in good spirits by then, let's send it to Grandma St. Angel first." ”

Several people around the campfire nodded in unison.

Then the little girl they were talking about left her little fire and went into her tent.

Not far away, several coachmen around another campfire shook their heads when they saw it.

Coachman A said, "This little girl is really unlucky." ”

Driver B, who was sitting next to him, said, "Yes, I saved some money at a young age and came out to do business, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing on the first trip, alas, ......"

A young apprentice driver asked for some reason, "Why don't we save that man?"

Coachman A shook his head, "That's a winter wolf." ”

Coachman B continued, "The winter wolf is very smart, and he can barely speak human words. They will take the cubs from the herd and take them away, and if the parents of the cubs chase them, they will enter their ambush circle. ”

An adventurer on the other side of the campfire also said, "You also saw how big that winter wolf is just now, and it is difficult for us to be surrounded by them in the field at night, not to mention that we don't know how many of them there are. ”

The coachman's apprentice asked depressedly, "Then we can only watch him be ......"

The adventurer could only shake his head and sigh, "It's better than taking all of us in." ”

"Unless you encounter the patrolling wolf cavalry, there is really no way." ”

The most annoying thing about a caravan walking on the steppe is encountering a large pack of wolves, because the wolves will follow the caravan and attack when the caravan is not paying attention.

As a result, many smaller caravans will form a larger group in order to scare off the small wolves first.

It's just that the winter wolves from the far north are different, where there are large herds of bison, wild sheep and other herbivores, and large numbers are commonplace for winter wolves, and they have also developed tactics such as sneaking up on the cubs and then besieging the parents to rescue them.

Tonight, the caravan was accidentally taken away by the winter wolf, and the entire caravan was shrouded in a cloud of gloom.

Except for the little friend of the person who was taken away, she was stunned for a minute after learning the news just now, and then she just answered and did not react again, and continued to eat oatmeal there with an expressionless face.

"There's someone coming from the east!" cried out the sentry adventurer.

There was a flash of fire on the road to the east, and it was advancing at a rapid pace.

The Senate of the Orc tribe paid great attention to the protection of the caravans, and every year during the autumn season of adventurers, the Senate would send a detachment of wolf cavalry to patrol the main road that ran east and west.

Liechtenth shouted happily, "Great, he's saved!"

The caravan on the side of the road signaled that it was in urgent need of help, and the wolf cavalry team picked up speed and soon came to the outside of the caravan camp.

"What's the trouble you're in?!" the commander of the cavalry called out to the adventurers in the carriage as he stopped the wolf under his crotch.

Liechtenth stepped out of the vehicular wall and came to the wolf cavalry.

He said to the cavalry officer, "Sir, one of us has been taken by the Winter Wolf!"

"Are you sure it's the Winter Wolf?" the orc officer asked in surprise, this was the first report of the Winter Wolf this year.

"We can't be mistaken!" said Liechten, earnestly.

The orc officer continued, "Where did they go, and how many of them?"

"It ran northwest with our men in its mouth. Liechtendon said, but he didn't know the exact number.

"Thirty-six adult winter wolves and six young wolves. Not far from Liechtenton, where the torches had not been shining, someone suddenly said.

"Hiss......" the orc officer gasped, "There are so many, their wolf king is not easy to deal with." ”

In a world of the jungle, the more men you have, the stronger the leader. Compared with the previous winter wolf pack, which numbered no more than 20 horses, the wolf king who can deter and command more than 30 adult winter wolves will inevitably be far superior to the previous wolf king.

"yes. The man in the shadows stepped within the range of the torches, and said with trepidation, "That guy is so cunning, if I hadn't been clever, I might have planted it this time." ”

Liechtenth and the adventurer in his carriage watched in amazement, the man's clothes and trousers were tattered, but there was not a trace of blood. The most important thing is that he uses a spear on his shoulder as a flat burden, and three on each side carry a total of six one-meter-long wolf cubs tied and strung together with ropes.

"I'm tired!" said someone who lowered the pole to the ground along with the wolf cub on it, and tapped his slightly sore shoulder.

A wolf cub is almost as heavy as Diana's self-proclaimed weight, and picking six of them at once to come back from a night walk on the grassland, even if he brushes all the way to the strength and stamina buff, it is enough for him to drink a pot.

Liechtendon tentatively asked, "Are you Aru?"

"It's me. Ru replied, and then said to the orc cavalry who was curiously looking at the wolf cub he had brought back, "Don't bother you, I'm back by myself." ”

The orc officer frowned and asked, "What about those adult winter wolves?"

Someone replied, "I happened to meet the man of the Earl of Maccaden." ”

"Good luck for you. The orc officer confirmed that the winter wolves were dead and left.

Liechtenth also breathed a sigh of relief, he patted someone on the shoulder, and said, "It's okay, you have to go and thank Count Maccaden when you have a chance in the future." ”

Ru nodded, and while greeting everyone in the caravan, he picked up the wolf cub and threw it into the carriage he had bought in Avalon.

When he was done, he returned to his tent, only to find that the soundproofing had been applied to the tent, and he saw Diana wiping tears there.

Seeing Charles return, Diana laughed again and tears came out.

"Are you a tease sent by the monkeys?" asked Diana, wiping tears from her laughs, "...... wolf took you in the toilet."

The next moment, Diana suddenly shook her whole body, as if she thought of something terrible, she pointed at Charles and asked, "You shouldn't have wiped your ass, right?"

Charles "......"
