Just after the New Year, the winter hunting period is about to begin, and many trivial things are mixed together, and the Languo Palace and the administrative department are busy flying.

Winter hunting is not uncommon in other countries on the mainland, the cold winter makes the hungry beasts more aggressive, more likely to appear in front of humans, and the cold weather also makes it impossible for the nobles to carry out other entertainment and actions, so the nobles who always want to find something to do in their leisure time have launched the activities of the winter hunting season.

Riding tall horses, with heavily armed retinue knights, chasing the homeless, hungry poor beasts through the barking of hounds, adorning their martial arts with their heads, decorating their rooms with their furs, oh, how cruel are those poor little ones who suffer such misfortune just to find some food for their children......

".......... Grena, if you pretend to be a narrator again, I'll send you back, and besides, our winter hunt here is different from other countries. Those beasts and monsters are pitiful, they will all eat people! ”

I'm a little helpless, compared with the porcelain dolls back then, it's really a good thing that Gelina is now humanized, after all, normal people without psychological shadows will never become like that.

But the girl is sometimes a little too active, at this time, this kind of expressionless and serious nonsense makes me a little unbearable, I have some sympathy for the administrative officials of Sluwell, such a queen must be tossed very cool on weekdays.

Hearing that I was going to send her back, the young queen slapped the huge puppet under her ass with a blank face, and the diamond puppet MK2 (MK1 died from self-detonation) that came out of nowhere rushed out of the group, booming all the way. Go after the poor beasts in her mouth.

And her entourage naturally couldn't let the queen alone. Dozens of knights hurriedly rushed out of the brigade. Hurry up and keep up, does the wry smile on their faces show that they are used to it, or are they happy to do it? Judging by the respect and joy that came from the heart, I think it might be the latter.

"Winter hunting? It's a long memory. ”

The ground was already frosty, the horse's hooves couldn't stop clattering on the ground, and the hot air spit out instantly turned into white mist, and the previous snow made the whole world turn white, and the endless ice fields and snow-capped mountains were in front of you. Even the winter hunting brigade of thousands of people still seems small when placed between the entire heaven and earth.

Our team set off early in the morning, most of them were knights with mounts, scouts with hounds had already set off, and the sky knights should soon bring news of the herd.

The winter hunting in the Northland is completely different from the winter hunting in other countries on the mainland, they are for entertainment, and we are for survival......

The living environment in the Northland is extremely harsh. The strong malice is not simply aimed at humans, the living environment of beasts and monsters is just as bad. And once the snow covers the mountain, the beasts will not find food in the mountain, so they will naturally come out of the mountain to attack humans.

The beasts that were able to survive in the Northland had long since mutated to resemble demonic beasts, and under the leadership of the clan leaders, the beasts chasing each other eventually formed an unstoppable beast tide that swept everything, attacking villages and towns.

In the past few decades and hundreds of years, countless villages have been destroyed by the winter beast tide, and in a sense, it has become a tradition for the Northland beasts to attack humans in groups when they can't find food, and the Northlanders have naturally formed another tradition, starting winter hunting as soon as winter arrives, killing the threat as much as possible in swaddling clothes.

Attack in advance before the beast herd forms a beast tide, kill the leader of the beast group as much as possible, disperse the beast group that has just gathered together, and reduce or even destroy the scale of the future beast tide.

History and tradition have proved that this practice is much better than waiting for the beast tide in the castle, passive defense will only make the beast tide roll bigger and bigger, and when the demonic beasts of the entire snow-capped mountain come out, any high-level thing may be encountered, and it is already a historical thing that will eventually be enough to destroy the Northland city-states.

Most of the countries in the Northland have a tradition of winter hunting, but it takes not only courage to challenge the beast herd and the beast tide, but also the cunning and ferocious beast herd is not easy to deal with even the heavily armed knights, and the lack of strength to carry out winter hunting is to take the initiative to deliver food to the beast herd, and the Donglan Principality gave up the winter hunt for a long time, just a helpless choice.

In those years, the Donglan people seemed to have become accustomed to dragging their families to big cities like Difender as soon as winter fell, and then hiding in the wooden houses and listening to the roars of the beasts outside, praying that the beast tide would pass as soon as possible, and that their homes and foundations would not be ruined too much.

And this is the best development, every year, countless inhabitants are attacked by herds on their way, and the knights of the principality are simply not enough to protect them.

And the year we returned eight years ago, we started organizing the winter hunt again, not only to clear the wild beasts and collect food, but also to re-boost the courage and morale of the Donglan people, and give them a long-term sense of security.

In the past eight years, the entire national strength of Donglan and Lanmeng has been thriving, and the military strength has become the leader in the north, so there is naturally no reason to stop the winter hunt.

And with the progress of the winter hunt, the size of the herd has decreased year after year, and the pressure on the city-states and villages has decreased a lot, and if it is possible to defeat the beast tide in advance, there is no need for the people of Lan to carry out a dangerous winter migration.

Now we have thousands of people traveling, it seems that the scale is not small, but it is only the beginning and preparation of the winter hunt, our main task is to start to reconnoiter the location and size of the beast herd, and discover high-level and super demonic beasts in advance, if it is a small Gu beast herd can be dispersed in advance, if it is thousands of large Gu beast herds and beast tides, it will still be handed over to the regular army to deal with.

Winter hunting in the Northland and the central region are completely two concepts, in those warm areas, winter hunting is the entertainment season for nobles to show off their strength, and it is the ** season for hooking up with the daughters of noble women, while in the Northland, winter hunting is a war, it is a training, and participating in winter hunting is the obligation and responsibility of every royal child.

Why didn't Gelina return to China to organize a winter hunt? In fact, the other countries in the Northland have been hunting in winter every year, and the size of the herd has long been controlled after so many years, winter hunting is not dangerous, just carry it out routinely, only the Duchy of Donglan has been weak for too long, and the number of beasts probably exceeds the sum of other countries, and it is not as simple as killing them all to control the size of the herd.

She was happy, not only could she amuse her sister for the New Year, but also participate in the hunting season to relax, so she insisted on not wanting to return to China, and asked her entourage, and learned that the domestic situation was stable and everything was fine, and I did not forcibly drive people out.

Along the way, she was overactive like a little rabbit, constantly causing problems for the hunting team, but she was a special person and had to be taken seriously, but for me......

“…… Sister Kelly too, what's 'if you want to take the royal annuity, you can fulfill the responsibility of a royal prince', I've hunted so many times in winter, my responsibility has long been exhausted, it's so cold, I want to lie in the warm futon and drink hot cocoa in a daze......"

We were still waiting for the return of the scout while the wind was blowing, I simply dismounted and rubbed my hands, stamped my feet, still feeling very cold, and looked speechlessly at the dead child who had begun to build a snowman on the side of the road, and I felt more and more urge to go back to sleep.

“…… The dead child is in such a good spirit, physical age can really affect mental age to this point......"

But soon, I realized that I was wrong, the snowman more than three meters tall was made into the shape of a puppet, with obvious joints, and then the big engineer inserted something into it, and mysteriously said something, and the snowman actually stood up and started to act with a bang, it was running and jumping...... It's building a bigger snowman!

"Is this the premium version of the Dead Bear Kid playing in the snow......"

Seeing me looking that way, Grena, who was already jumping on the snowman's shoulder, waved at me and motioned for me to go over as well...... I'm not stupid, I've seen you add a lot of explosives to the snowman a long time ago, what am I going to do, I haven't had enough of the explosion of MK1 last time, and now take the initiative to enjoy the explosion of MK3?

Wait? MK3？ Grena did mark the snowman's head, so is it possible that MK2, the MK2 that Grina has been stepping on, is it possible that it is not loaded with explosives...... I subconsciously moved away from Grena's side.

"It's rare to see Sister Grina so relaxed."

Unlike us, who were all hugging rice dumplings, Renee wore a tight black hunting suit, showing off her beautiful curves, and I suddenly realized that she was taller than me.

The leather suit made of nine-headed dragon skin seems to be light and thin, and the defense and cold protection are extremely amazing, but hunting with a hunting bow is becoming more and more heroic, and the knight princess is becoming more and more mature, but I was blinded by the two princesses at the same time because I stood too close to her......

Seeing that I was a little stunned, Renee smiled.

"Sister Ge Lina is not like this in China, she is the core and pillar of the wisdom of the entire Lan League, she always shows great confidence and dignity, only in front of you, she can really relax, put aside those messy things, and show her age as she looks."

Hearing this, I felt a little guilty, I was really selfish back then, so I just left everything and walked away, leaving the responsibility to two girls who had just reached puberty, and letting them work so hard to support the family business independently, I should compensate them well, just start with more pocket money......

“…… Grena, you pretend to narrate that I'm okay, I do feel a little guilty, but the pocket money is really not ......."

We're still joking here, but two Ice Knights have appeared in the western sky, and the Aurora Knights who are scouts are back, so it's time to get down to business.

But in the next moment, there were bursts of exclamations, one of the Aurora Knights was actually unconscious on his mount, and the other was also injured.

Needless to say, how powerful the Aurora Knight is, even if the rookie Knight appears in the reconnaissance, it is incomprehensible.

But for me, it became more and more uneasy, it seems that some of my previous guesses were correct, and I was lucky to not only come to the right place, but also meet the target ahead of schedule. (To be continued.) )
