Even out of the Zafaro Forest, or even in the territory of Pezzaros, the wind and snow still made the group suffer enough. Winters in the Rohan Empire are definitely colder than those in the more southern Hanstings, and the wind and snow are heavier. The goose-feathered snowflakes were completely drizzling in the northwestern part of the Rohan Empire, and the Zafaro Territory was already southerly compared to the more northern regions, but the wind and snow were still not small.

If they still stayed in the forest, Chen Kai and the others would not have been attacked by the heavy snow, but when they walked out of the forest and lost the shelter of the trees, the wind and snow fell directly on their bodies. Huge snowflakes fell directly on everyone's bodies under the action of the strong wind, and even covered the road, and the snow was half a foot thick in less than a day. This is not a blizzard caused by magical forces, but pure natural forces.

According to Hammer Tower, the snow is already shallow, at least two-thirds thick at this time of year, and at least an inch in half a day. One foot is nearly thirty-three centimeters, and according to Hammer Tower, the heavy snow will be at least a week, so the thickness of the snow is estimated to be more than one meter in Chen Kai's mind.

However, this is not the case, according to Hammer Tower, the snow around the Zafaro Forest is never more than three feet, that is, no more than one meter, and only in the northwestern territory does the snow exceed one meter. It is precisely because of the thick snow in winter that the houses in the northern part of the Rohan Empire are basically smooth spires, in order to prevent the accumulation of snow from crushing the houses.

Of course, the reason for the very large snowfall in the Rohan Empire is not only the climatic factors, but also the high dimension of the Rohan Empire. Rohan's empire is the most dimensional of the game's empires, and because of this, he spends at least a third of the year in winter. In fact, even if the time flow in the game is twice as high as in reality, Chen Kai's game time on their calendar is only as long as October. This time in Hansting should be considered the beginning of summer, as almost all the countries in the game are located in the southern hemisphere on the map of Etia. Therefore, the Rohan Empire, which is also in the southern hemisphere, should also enter spring instead of winter, and in fact, for the Rohan Empire, October means entering the middle of winter. At the same time, the winter in the Rohan Empire is very long, even if the areas relatively close to the south come out of winter relatively early, and the signs of snow will not be seen until after March. That's why the mercenaries don't want to stay in Cameras, because if they do, they'll only have to be trapped in the snow for five months.

You may find it strange here. Because it stands to reason that the farther south you go, the colder it should be, so why does it get hotter the farther south you go? In fact, many players are a little confused about the climate of the Rohan Empire, which is not at all like the climate of other places, not at all like the climate of the Southern Hemisphere but like the Northern Hemisphere. In the end, the player did not give up and put together the known maps of all the countries, and then slowly calculated the latitude and longitude, and was stunned to find that the location of many maps was a bit strange because of the influence of magic in the game. Starting from the Duchy of Anclo, the countries in the north region should be the countries in the north latitude region according to the actual dimension, and the Rohan Empire is the country from the north latitude region and is the northernmost one. Its northernmost city is almost close to the North Pole, and Hansting is the one with the largest dimensional span, basically spanning the two regions of northern latitude and southern latitude. The Capital of Dawn is located at southern latitudes. The fortress of Zela is already on the edge of the northern latitudes.

In the end, the player discovers that the geographical distribution of all countries resembles a triangular pyramid. Most of them are located in the southern latitudes, but a few countries are like the tip of the pyramid pushing into the northern latitudes. On the map or in terms of dimension, Zela Fortress is basically parallel to the country of the Rohan Empire, but in terms of geographical understanding, many people think that Zela Fortress is more north than the capital of the Rohan Empire. In fact, by following the horizon or dimension line to the east, the player can walk directly from the Rohan Empire's imperial capital to the fortress of Zela, but only if they are able to traverse the northern swamp jungle with a range of up to 2,000 kilometers. …,

However, for Chen Kailai now, as long as he passes through Pezaros and continues to the south for 50 kilometers. The climate will be much warmer, and their destination is not the northern border of Hansting, but Kazmodo, which is relatively southern. For the Zela Fortress, which is also located in the north, the climate in Kazmodo is much more pleasant, almost warm all year round. It's just that Hammertower didn't think so far now, he just wanted to get to Pezaros as soon as possible, not only because the wind and snow were too tiring, but also because he hoped that Chen Kai could get rid of these robbers quickly, and the most important thing was that there would be a lot more caravans in the area south of Pezzaros, and the mercenaries could take care of each other without worrying about encountering robbers. For now, of course, the group had to continue on their own, braving the wind and snow to make their way on the horizon of Pezzaros, where there was hardly a road visible.

"Whew! Luckily, the road signs haven't been covered by the snow! Follow this sign. We should be twenty kilometers from the city of Pezzaros! If you come on, you can expect to be there by tomorrow afternoon! But tonight I guess I'll have to spend the night out again! Hammer Tower looked at the street sign that was accidentally broken by Chen Kai and fell into the snowdrift for a long time, and finally saw the somewhat worn handwriting on it, which had been washed away by the wind and snow.

"It's not covered though! But it's a blessing to be stepped on like this and still be recognizable! Fei Yun said as he took out the wood and carved it according to the original appearance of the road sign. Of course, Chen Kai can't be completely blamed for this, in fact, although the wind and snow did not bury the road sign but had blown it down, Chen Kai used his huge body to walk in front of him to block the wind and snow It was already very difficult, and naturally there was no way to take care of whether the road sign or the wood was stepping on his feet.

"Let's go! Keep on your way! Hammertower looked at the signposts that had been re-erected by Fei Yun and yelled at the mercenaries behind him, the huge wind and snow almost muffling his voice. The robbers, who were shivering from the cold, felt that the sound was like heaven, although it was very tiring to brave the wind and snow. But it's definitely better than staying where you are and freezing in the cold. When you walk around, your body gets a lot warmer. The most important thing is that you can eat hot soup as soon as you reach the next camping spot, and even if it may not fill your stomach, you will always have a stutter.

The loud howl of the wind almost drowned out everyone's voices. As the snow became thicker and thicker, Chen Kai had to use a shovel to pick up the snow on the ground and throw it out, in addition to acting as a human shield in front. Of course, this work was later replaced by the robber captives, at the cost of a few bowls of hot broth and a coat of fur that was originally theirs. The packages with leather coats were definitely much warmer than the single clothes on their bodies, and the most important thing was that Chen Kai also promised them to give them some blankets from the supplies collected from the carriage to keep them warm at night, provided that they put in the effort to work.

With the help of these robber captives, the speed of the group's movement was not slowed down by the snow. But over time. When the wind and snow were getting heavier and the sky was getting darker and darker, Chen Kai and the others had to stop their journey. Then the bitter bandit captives were organized again, one by one shivering and clearing the snow around them, preparing to set up a camp for rest. Of course, all the work is paid, although the low pay is a little pitiful, just a filling bread and a hot broth.

For Chen Kai, this little thing didn't cost much at all, and many of them were snatched back from the robbers. Therefore, Chen Kai and they basically raised a large group of servants who worked for them without spending a penny, and Hammertower directly gave a thumbs up to Chen Kai's approach.

The camp was quickly set up with the hungry gurgling of these robber captives, and Chen Kai basically did not have any tools to restrain these robbers except for the ropes in their hands, because in this weather, the robbers who wore cloth clothes could not escape the fate of freezing to death even if they escaped. Unless they're lucky. Find a bear den and then kill a bear to get food and fur, but the reality is that it's simply not possible. Bears are basically at their most ferocious now, and a heavy snowfall can't stop them from preying at all. Even if they are cowering in the cave now, as long as someone walks in, they will definitely be killed by the awakened bear, and these robbers can't beat the bear at all when they are hungry, in fact, even if they are not hungry, some robbers have no way to fight the wild bear. …,

If it's an ordinary small bear, it's just a second- or third-order beast in the game. But in the forests of Zafaro, there are no bears at all, only brown bears, which are more than two meters long. That's a power of more than hundreds of kilograms, and the instantaneous explosive power is more likely to be more than a ton. Even if Chen Kai encounters a brown bear, he will vomit blood if he is slapped by the other party's paw, and these ordinary human professionals, even if they are equal in strength to the brown bear, do not dare to confront a furious beast that has been woken up.

The snow around the camp was piled up in layers to form a high wall of snow. Beneath the snow walls are hay-covered grounds, where the robbers slept. Of course, Chen Kai was not worried that these robbers would sneak through the snow and escape, but thinking of the cold environment outside, Chen Kai felt that few robbers would do that when they might survive. In fact, this is true, because these robbers think that Chen Kai will just throw them to the sheriff, and think that they only need to spend a few years in prison. Unbeknownst to him, Chen Kai had already decided to sell them to slave mine owners. In fact, even if Chen Kai handed them over to the sheriff, these robbers would inevitably have to work in the slave mines, and many local prisons were in fact linked to the slave mines. It's just that most of the time the transactions between the slave mine owners and the prison are hidden behind the scenes, and few people pay attention to the final fate of the prison inmates.

When all the robbers were settled, a bonfire began to rise in the camp, and a large pile of snowflakes in the howling north wind not only beat the curtain of the tent used as a kitchen. All the robbers salivated at the tent, which was essentially open, a curtain of tarps against the north wind firmly anchored to the edge of the snow wall. Four or five cauldrons were slowly simmering on the bonfire, Su Wan, Chen Yi and Hammertower's little wife were working hard to process the potatoes, while Chen Kai and Hammertower hammered the frozen pieces of meat like rocks. In order to make the meat pieces cook faster. All pieces of meat are loosened so that the hot water can quickly penetrate and not be blocked out of the ice.

Although because the meat is too tightly frozen, the blood water cannot be directly removed by blanching. It can only be thrown in the pot and simmered slowly, but fortunately, most of the mercenaries don't care too much about blood. In fact, if you're really hungry until some point. They will eat even raw meat. A strong mercenary is not made of delicate food, the mercenary's stomach should be able to melt steel, this is what a big mercenary once said, although he ended up brain-dead and ran to eat iron ore, only to die through his intestines. Of course, this brave guy finally won the respect of the mercenaries, although many mercenaries scolded him for being stupid in private, but this mercenary named Hancock still became a legendary character in history.

In fact, there are several cauldrons outside the tent, which are specially used for stewed meat. The cauldron was churning boiled white meat. The fat oil flowers are constantly churning along the boiling water. From time to time, white snowflakes fall into the cauldron, and the boiled meat in it is enough for all the mercenaries to eat. Except for a few robbers who were thrown to the good cousin, the rest of the meat would be simmered in the pot as a night snack for the night watch. As for the serious dinner, it was the broth boiling in a few pots in the tent, and the potato stew with a lot of tomato juice so it didn't smell bloody, but sour and very appetizing. The robbers had already begun to drool when they smelled it, but they had to huddle in the corner and wait for everyone to finish before they could line up to get their share of dinner.

Even if it was a bit of a cold scorching feeling, it was good enough for these robbers who had been hungry for almost a day, and the broth that had been on the fire was definitely much better than the bread that had been cold. When a bowl of broth goes down. The faces of many of the robbers also changed from iron blue to slightly pale. The well-fed robbers continued to huddle together, and several people shrunk together to sleep on the blanket that Chen Kai had given them. Of course, in order to prevent them from freezing to death, there will be a small bonfire next to every ten robbers, which is convenient for the night watchman to observe the number of robbers by the light of the fire. The more than two hundred robbers didn't all sleep together, because Chen Kai and the others were worried that the robbers would make trouble when they gathered together, knowing that the mercenaries were not as numerous as the robbers. Even if the group has enough strength to suppress all the bandits, it will cause a lot of trouble if they are attacked while sleeping. As a result, the number of people participating in the vigil was doubled. Basically, half of the entire mercenary group joined the vigil. …,

"Boss! We'll have to replenish the food when we get to Pezzaros, and it's better to change the pot a few times!" Xu Fei sat in the carriage and slowly said to Chen Kai, who was half of his body leaning into the carriage to keep warm, Chen Kai, who was huge, was the most aggrieved person, even if everyone else could shrink into the carriage to sleep, because of his size, he could only stay outside and blow the cold wind. In fact, if it weren't for the discussion of things, Chen Kai wouldn't even be stuffed into the carriage now. The huge body made Chen Kai bring huge combat oppression to others, and at the same time, it also made Chen Kai fall into an extremely depressed situation, and he was now thinking about whether he should find a high-level wizard to make a magic badge of shrinking, so that he could make his body smaller at any time so that he would not fall into many embarrassing things because of his huge body. It's just that Chen Kai also knows that the duration of the spell is limited after all, unless it is a shrinking technique released by a ** master-level wizard, it is impossible to maintain the spell for more than an hour.

However, the shrinkage of the divisional wizard is basically equivalent to a permanent curse. Chen Kai didn't want to be cursed to become smaller, that would cause the attribute to be reduced and permanent. The shrinking technique is not to make the body smaller without reducing the attributes, in fact, He Liwen has also learned the shrinking technique, which is considered a curse, and the shrinking technique she has mastered now cannot change the body shape at all, it can only make people feel that the physical attributes are reduced by one percent. The effect is much worse than the Curse of Weakness, only when He Liwen has enough magic power can the power of the shrinking technique be fully revealed, but if she wants to turn Chen Kai, a three-and-a-half-meter giant, into the size of an ordinary person, He Liwen needs at least nearly five thousand points of magic power to release the spell, and the effect of the spell will last for ten minutes at most.

"Isn't it? I remember getting a lot of food from the robbers, huh? Chen Kai was very shocked when he heard Xu Fei's words, but then he saw Xu Fei's wry smile.

"That's a lot! But it's just plain flour soybeans. There are very few meat and vegetables! Unless you want to nibble on flatbread every day in the future. I don't mind not buying ingredients!" Xu Fei, who was in charge of the supplies, naturally didn't say that those mercenaries actually hid a lot of things by themselves, which was an extra gain for mercenaries, and it was an unspoken rule protected by mercenary rules. Although this is not allowed in the Mercenary Guild. But if someone really wants to be serious, even if the mercenary will be punished, the final outcome is that the merchant will never be able to hire the mercenary. In fact, there are many unspoken rules in the Mercenary Guild, some of which have been abolished but others have been retained, even if they do not match the rules of the Mercenary Guild, but no one has objected.

"That can't be helped! Just do what you say! By the way, dispose of the excess flour and soybeans, too many of these things are piled up and wasted! Chen Kai pointed to the space bags behind Xu Fei and said, these low-level space bags were all collected from those robbers. The property inside has been divided with the mercenaries, Chen Kai and the six of them get one percent, and the other mercenaries divide the remaining ninety percent equally, and all the property adds up to more than 100,000 gold coins. Among them, the killed Bamezawa contributed nearly 50,000 gold coins, but this was actually less than 5% of all the property of the Night Hunter bandits.
