In the memory of Gross's young mountain people's body, long before the battle for the castle, there had been many frictions between the wolf bandits and the bear bandits, and the two sides had been at odds with each other for a long time, and this time the new and old hatreds were liquidated together-

By the way, the loss outside the wall is made up for inside the wall.

After making the decision to "occupy the magpie's nest", Gross began to arrange it in an orderly manner within the wolf bandit group - two days later it was the New Year's festival of the year of the red moon, but the bandits did not raise any objections to the temporary announcement of the "overtime notice" announced by the bandit leader.

On the contrary, as soon as they heard that they were about to attack the Brute Bear Bandits, these young men cheered with excitement one by one.

"The boss is wise!"

"them! I've been seeing those guys unpleasant for a long time! ”

"Chief, when are you leaving? I can't wait to see Michelle's crying bear face......"

……

Morale is high, and no one is worried about failure.

Since Gross became the leader of the Wolf Bandits, they have never lost any battles all the way, plus the noble knights and mercenaries killed a few days ago, Gross's prestige in the bandit group has increased day by day, and he has almost not been worshipped-

The high-level combat level of the inauguration and the artistic conception of the swordsmanship of the sword master, when these contents appear on an ordinary bandit leader at the same time, it is somewhat incredible.

The world was still icy outside, and a bright bonfire had risen inside the mines, and the bandits had gathered - the only place in the Ampton mines that was suitable for indoor gatherings, and Gross had sat down on the side of the campfire when he announced the decision.

Next to him was Scott, a legionnaire.

"Boss, I think it's also a good idea to take over the Bear Bandits."

Looking away from the fat boar roasted on the campfire, Scott said. He usually doesn't say much, but every time he speaks, it's not without purpose-

Gross raised his arm and was sprinkling some salt on the edge of the boar's hind leg, and he turned his head when he said this.

"Those three bears, it is estimated that they are not so easy to be obedient."

The movement at hand did not stop, and the fingers kneaded the tiny white salt grains into powder, and Gloston paused, "Of course, if they are willing, this situation is also very likely." ”

"You can try to reason with them."

Scott made a rare dry humor - the so-called truth, of course, the truth of whose fist is bigger, Gross did not respond, but some young people gathered around the campfire couldn't help but let out a burst of laughter in unison.

After returning from Karthas, the entire wolf bandit group did not go out to loot as before, and during the days they stayed in the Ampton mines in the Nogo Mountains, they did not know that the three of them, including Grizzly Bear Michelle, had already belonged to Baron Fred Wolfe-

Fred, the "bald brother" in his previous life, is famous in the minds of players and is not an easy target to provoke.

……

The Year of the Red Moon, the first day of the New Year's Festival.

This snow has been falling for a long time, day and night, almost every minute and every second, the sky is slowly falling countless snowflakes, snowflakes fall to the ground, and the vast snow scene is integrated, the original lush mountains and forests, can only see some vague outlines from afar.

At the Ampton Mines in the Nogo Mountains, children chase and play in the snow, while others stay in their rooms or gather around warm campfires, talking about all sorts of topics.

Because of the mission in the town of Lorenz, Gross never left the Ampton mine—

It was also difficult to go out hunting in such weather, but fortunately they had plenty of food. Most of the time, Gross and Miss Mage sat across from each other, exchanging their knowledge of alchemy and spells around a wooden table piled high with manuscript paper and scrolls.

He's waiting.

When the snow stopped a little, they went to attack the Bear Bandits.

At night, the last rays of sunlight on the horizon sank, the gray sky became darker and darker, and the fluttering snowflakes refracted the afterglow, exuding a dreamy and charming little silver glow—

In the communication between Dan and night, the crescent moon quietly haunts, and when you look up, you can see the starlight behind the snowflakes.

Meteors, which are generally rare to see during this winter season.

The gray night is like an endless dome, enveloping the vast expanse of the field as far as the eye can see. A brilliant light passed in front of him, and at this moment, the whole sky of the night seemed to burn, and the floating clouds were dyed with a magnificent color—

The moonlight became brighter, and the original crescent moon quickly became full and round, only the shadow cast by the moonlight faintly shone red.

The origin of the "Year of the Red Moon".

In a tower towering into the clouds, the white-haired star warlock looked at this scene, and after praying sincerely, he made a prophecy—

"War and fire, blood and tears, the prelude to the troubled times and strife has been unveiled since then......"

In the northlands of Nogo, towns, wilderness, and forests seemed to return to daylight in a brief moment, with snow-covered trees, rooftops, rolling hills, and all snow-covered places glowing red from a crystal white......

Bright as blood, as strong as fire.

The sky is so vast relative to the earth, and it's not just Nogo in the northern part of the kingdom who can see this celestial phenomenon-

In Lazis, in Ahi, in the western realms of the kingdom, and further south in the royal capitals of Elva, and in Xhosa, the nobles, commoners, and clergy...... Many, many people have seen such a strange picture.

"What is this?"

Wang Du Elva, a noble young man slammed open the window, he looked at the strange night sky, his eyes couldn't help but widen, turned around, he looked at his father, the palace minister Signott-

"Father, what the hell is going on?"

The last time a strange celestial phenomenon was recorded was in the year of alfalfa during the reign of Edwin VII. In this year, Elant, who was still relatively powerful at the time, launched a large-scale expansion war, and successfully seized the kingdom's current western territory from the barbarian tribes.

Signott, the powerful man of the Elantra Kingdom, slowly came to the window, he just glanced at it, and then said a short word with a frown.

"Greedy wolf!"

"Greedy wolf?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, he had read a lot of historical documents and related materials, "Isn't this a harbinger of war?" ”

He asked in some surprise, but the palace minister Signott did not continue to answer, and a pair of deep and wise eyes suddenly turned his head to look at the tall and majestic white wall—

Within the White Walls, the court of the Elantt Kingdom.

The elegant noble gentleman seemed to be thinking about something, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh.
