"By the time we received the news, it was already a few days later, and Stark set off directly with three thousand knights by boat. {with}{dream} щ{suimеng][lā}"

"What about the enemy, what is it? What kind of snowman is it really? ”

"We haven't seen each other, but the messengers who have been back in a row say it resembles the savage's snowman."

Ma Long fell into deep thought, and only said after a while: "You are ready, if you can't do something, you won't be caught off guard!" ”

"Yes!"

Ma Long rode the red rabbit, left Tucheng, and headed northwest along the river.

He walked alone, the situation is now unknown, the road is covered with snow, and the march of the army is too difficult.

The red rabbit ran along the avenue by the river, like a phantom, fast and unusual.

It has a special ability, and the ground with heavy snow does not cause much trouble.

It didn't take long for Malone to catch up with Steck's fleet.

Dozens of large and small boats spread out on the river, and it was a big scene, but no one appreciated it.

Malone passed by the river and naturally came into the sight of the observers of the fleet.

"That's ...... Your Excellency? ”

As a knight of the Black Stone Lord, there are few people who don't know their own lord.

Even if you can't see the face clearly for a while, the red rabbit's outfit is unique!

Ma Long did not stop, the information obtained by the two parties was similar, and there was no need to communicate for the time being.

The speed of Chitu did not decrease, and directly overtook the fleet that set off first, and continued to move forward.

When Steck got the news and came out of the cabin, he saw a black dot in the middle and far of the white mang, and disappeared in a flash.

The red rabbit horse travels thousands of miles a day is not empty words, it really has that ability.

Even if the road is paved with heavy snow, it takes less than half a day to run hundreds of miles.

Malone grabbed the reins and slowly slowed down, and there was already an evacuating crowd in front of him.

Large herds of cattle, sheep and horses, driven by herdsmen, walked along the road.

As Malone approached, nature was discovered.

"Your Lord!"

He was recognized.

A shepherd, wrapped in a leather jacket with his face covered and his eyes out, bowed and saluted.

"Do you know what's going on?" Malone asked, pointing to the northwest.

"There's a man-eating monster over there." The shepherd replied tremblingly, "There are already many villages gone. The knights have set up a defensive line at the mountain pass, let's evacuate first......"

Bidding farewell to a group of herders in retreat, Malone continued on his way.

They didn't ask for any useful information, and they didn't know much.

It didn't take long for them to meet a group again.

After the same questioning, Malone told them to continue on their way.

He knew he wasn't far from his goal.

Along the way, I saw several empty villages, all of which had been evacuated from the front.

Ahead, in a mountain notch, Ma Long saw the black smoke rising into the sky, and hurriedly drove the red rabbit over.

The black smoke is wolf smoke, indicating that there is an army stationed here and that war is about to break out.

This was originally a village, but after the evacuation of the personnel, it was emptied, and it was used as a temporary garrison by a group of knights.

"Your Lord!" Seeing Ma Long's arrival, a captain took off his helmet and greeted him first.

"Kane!" Malone didn't expect to meet acquaintances.

When he first went to the Elven Clan, it was Kane who served as his temporary captain of the guard.

At that time, he was only a squadron leader in charge of fifty people, and now he is a captain!

"What's going on now? Can you be sure that the other person is really a snowman? Malone patted the red rabbit on the neck and told it to find a place to play on its own, and followed Kane into the village.

Several knights were clearing the snow, and when they saw Malone coming, they all bowed and saluted, with irrepressible expressions on their faces.

Kane greeted Marlon and replied as he walked: "Sure, it's the same as what the barbarians said, it's the snowman." The opponent has extremely strong combat power in the snow, especially the recovery power, as long as there is no one-time kill, he can heal quickly. ”

Entering a main room, he invited Marlon to sit down, and continued: "There are about 20,000 to 30,000 people, they are extremely sensitive to flesh and blood, they don't seem to be as strong as orcs, but they are stronger, and ordinary swords are even difficult to cut. Thankfully, our weapons are all dwarven ......"

After talking about the enemy, without waiting for Ma Long to ask, he consciously talked about his own strength again, "We only have two hundred troops here, all of them are collected from various posts, and there are about fifty of them who are not knights. ”

"Except for the dozen or so people left behind in the camp, everyone else went to the front to clear the snow, and in order to suppress the snowman's combat effectiveness, it must be cleaned up before the other party arrives. You see......"

As he spoke, Kane pulled a map from under his desk.

It is a blank sheet of paper with crude sketches drawn in pencil.

He pointed to a col on the drawing and said, "Here we are, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and all of them are cliffs. Facing the water on one side, is the Gelong River. The snowman can only come by the water's edge, which is convenient for defense, as it should buy time for the arrival of the army. ”

Ma frowned and said, "If they can't attack it, will they give up here and bypass it from elsewhere, after all, there is more than one road?" ”

Kane sighed lightly: "This is also what I am worried about, but unfortunately there are too few personnel, otherwise there is enough blood to completely attract these guys with insufficient intelligence!" He hammered the table with some helplessness.

Ma Long held his chin in one hand and said, "Just need enough blood?" Regardless of whether it is human or not? ”

Kane's eyes lit up, "What do you mean, Lord Lord...... I'll do it right away! ”

He jumped up directly from the stool, ignoring the etiquette, turned and ran out.

Soon he came back again and reported to Ma Long, "I have already asked people to chase the herdsmen who are retreating in the rear, just let them go, and leave the livestock behind." ”

Nodding, Marlon ordered: "Remember who it is, and I will compensate when I go back." ”

"Don't worry, I don't dare to look forward to the laws of the Blackstone Territory."

"Hmm!" Malone nodded in response, then took out a bag, handed it to Kane and said, "You go and call back all the soldiers who are not knights yet, and then boil the contents in water, one ...... each"

"It's ......" he took the bag, a little puzzled.

"Ginkgo biloba ......" Malone explained the effect again, and Kane went happily.

It was getting dark, and it was getting dark.

Without resting, Malone followed a knight who led the way to the level ahead.

A group of knights here were clearing the snow, and when they saw Ma Long coming, they were all overjoyed.

With the lord here, the security is much more!

They were also sure to hold on to the support of the army.

The last bit of work was done, and it was completely dark.

Fortunately, there was a snowy patch everywhere, which could barely be seen clearly, and a torch was lit so that it was not completely dark.

Marlon didn't go back to the village, but waited for the snowman to arrive at the checkpoint here.

In the middle of the night, I heard a loud sound, as if a large number of hurried footsteps were approaching.
