416. Chapter 416: What Really Happened?

The battle that took place in the snow seemed to Luo Di and the others to be a bit funny.

The menacing snow monster was solved by two arrows, and Nata, who was armed with a longbow, stood there quietly after confirming the death of the enemy, she looked like a lonely figure, compared to those barbarians who were and urinating... The contrast is really big.

Akasha didn't move forward after the spell was cast, and she looked at the primitively dressed creatures with some curiosity.

Although they are both humans, the barbarians are obviously taller than the people of the Karen Kingdom, they are generally strong, with thick limbs and thick beards, which does seem to fit the positioning of "powerful warriors", but after careful inspection, Akasha found that the other party looks bluffing on the surface, but in fact there is no "momentum" at all.

Although everyone has a weapon in their hands, their eyes are full of fear and retreat.

They soon spotted Akasha and Nata, and then noticed Roddy and Sodrore and the others above. The barbarian who looked like the leader took a few steps, as if he wanted to communicate with Roddy and the others, but when the companion next to him said a few words, the six warriors hesitated and took a few steps back, then turned around and prepared to leave.

Roddy's brow furrowed... He had the impression that the reason why the "barbarians" were called "barbarians" was not only because of their primitive way of life, but because of the "radical" way they dealt with problems.

If the barbarians were all about running away at the sight of strangers, they would have starved to death on the glacial plains.

"What now?"

Sodrore thrust his sword back into its scabbard and spoke.

"I'll go check the corpse of the snow monster to see if there is anything abnormal, the use of the team is in your hands, just cooperate with me at any time." ”

Roddy took a few steps and noticed another barbarian team not far away, and they met the six who were about to leave, and then stopped to start talking. The new team is similarly poorly equipped, but the leader looks quite young.

Luo Di saw that the other party was pointing at him, but he was not interested in leaning in and taking the initiative to pay attention, so he squatted next to the snow monster and looked at it intently.

"It's not an elite monster, it's not a boss, why?"

He muttered a few words, and then heard the increasingly fierce quarrel not far away, and when he looked up, Roddy saw the scene of the young leader punching the "deserter" down.

Then the guy looked at Roddy, tightened his fur shoulder pads, and walked over with two one-handed stone axes on his back.

The young barbarian leader did not have a beard, and his height of two meters did not have the slightest feeling of "telephone pole" because of his well-proportioned muscles, and his eyes were confident and his steps were steady. Luo Di's eyebrows raised, and then he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart:

This is the impression of the barbarians!

"Hello, friends on the icefield. ”

Before the other party could speak, Luo Di took the lead in greeting him with the barbarian's "Chatu language" - this pure greeting made the other party's expression obviously stunned, and he couldn't help but say: "Do you speak our language?"

Then he reacted, touched his head and continued: "Thank you for saving my men, I listened to what happened, they shouldn't have run away, so I punished him." ”

"Chatu language" is relatively primitive, and the vocabulary is not precise, so the meaning expressed is relatively simple. Roddy wasn't proficient in the language, but ordinary communication was sufficient, and he looked at the guy with swollen cheeks and said, "Maybe he misunderstands us, but it's not in the way." ”

Then he pointed to his chest: "My name is Roddy, I'm from the other side of the North Peak Mountains, this is my team. ”

"Erwin, Erwin of Bada. ”

The structure of the barbarians is similar to that of the orcs, because of the harsh climate and the sparsely populated area, they scattered in groups over the land without fixed towns, and "bada" is obviously the name of one of the tribes.

Roddy had been to the tribe of Bada, but he had no impression of the barbarian warrior in front of him. While he was a little curious, he began to talk to the other party - because he knew the temper of the barbarians, Roddy became acquainted with the other party in a few words, and proposed to Erwin that he would go to meet the leader of the barbarians.

"Come back with us, no problem, but I warn you that this is a dangerous road!"

Erwin pointed to the foot of the mountain: "It's not safe to get from here to Bada, you and your companions need to be careful!"

"And we're going to get back as soon as possible, it's going to be cold here when the sun goes down!"

"No problem. ”

Roddy rubbed his ears, Erwin was so loud that he spoke as if he was going to quarrel, and his eardrums were a little uncomfortable when he got close - but the Northland races were basically like this, and Roddy had to adapt if he didn't get used to it.

After a few conversations, Erwin began to lead the group forward. Roddy walked side by side with Akasha and the others in the back, and Sodlore tugged at the strap of his cloak and asked in a low voice, "They promised so happily?"

"Compared to the snow monsters, they are clearly willing to deal with us. Roddy shrugged his shoulders and pouted: "Of course, the main reason is that they are too simple and do not know the sinister truth of the world. ”

This is not a simple joke, the barbarian is "nervous" when it is ugly, once you trust someone, you will not think about any risks such as "being deceived" at all...

Södrore was skeptical, looking at the tall warriors in front of him, wondering what to think. Roddy held Akasha in one hand, recalling all sorts of information about the "Bada" tribe in his head.

The road down the mountain was not easy, and as the last rays of the setting sun disappeared, the temperature around the area, which was not high, seemed to drop suddenly. Fortunately, the soldiers had been prepared, and after the heavy and warm fur was draped over their bodies, the speed of the march of the team was not affected much.

Erwin walked ahead with two axes on his back, and his men looked back from time to time, curiously discussing the combat effectiveness of these strange soldiers—the two teams maintained a distance of about thirty meters from each other.

Occasionally, when he stopped to rest, Roddy would send someone to bring some food and water to Erwin, but the barbarian leader was not pretentious, but took it very neatly and distributed it to his soldiers.

It's not greed, because on the ice field, eating less of a meal can be fatal.

"That's not right..."

After the team walked for an hour, Roddy suddenly stopped and looked left and right: the "Bada" in his memory should be in this area, but how is it empty?

He looked around suspiciously, to make sure that his judgment was correct, but there was no sign of inhabitation here, and the buildings and villages in those impressions seemed to have never appeared.

This unexpected situation made Roddy feel a little upset, and at this moment, the warning sound of the arrows broke the quiet night in an instant.

"Enemy attack!"

As soon as the words fell, Akasha, who was riding on the horse, immediately began to cast the "Holy Light Technique", and the golden light suddenly bloomed, and on the snowfield as bright as day, several running black shadows immediately appeared on the side and rear of the team.

Roddy turned his head to look and saw three snow monsters screaming in the distance approaching the group.

This discovery didn't make Roddy nervous, he just wondered: how could there be snow monsters here? This is the hinterland of the "Bada" tribe, right?

As he pondered the question, the whole team had come to an abrupt halt at Sodrore's command, and the soldiers grabbed their shields and "clicked" back and forth, ready for the onslaught.

However, before the snow monster could rush to the front of the group, Nata, who was standing at the edge of the group, shot eight arrows in succession, and when the light of the second "Holy Light Technique" gradually faded, the longbow she held was slowly lowered.

In the distance, all three snow monsters fell to the ground.

The aftermath of wailing and struggle echoed across the snowfield, and Erwin, who had only confirmed the location of the snow monster, stopped and took a slow breath.

"Keep going!"

Sodrore swept over the corpse of the snow monster with an indifferent gaze, waved his hand and gave the order - the next moment, the cavalry team that was ready to storm immediately closed from the side, and the soldiers with shields put their weapons back on the side of the saddle... Changing formations and coordinating back and forth, this series of movements was quiet and orderly, and the eyes of the group of barbarians in front of him were straight.

And the corpses of the three snow monsters were so horizontal in the distance, like garbage that had been discarded casually.

Erwin swallowed, feeling a chill in his hand gripping the handle of the axe - he wasn't afraid of snow monsters, but that didn't mean he could settle the fight so easily against three snow monsters.

The sudden episode changed the mood of the team slightly, and Erwin's eyes flashed with mixed emotions, but he sighed when he looked back at his men with awe-struck faces, and he picked up his axe again, and continued to march one foot deep and one foot shallow in the snow.

In this way, after three hours of continuous marching, Roddy finally saw a village nestled in the valley of the mountain col.

Saying that it is a "village", it is actually dozens of low stone houses of different shapes - the barbarian stone houses are pasted with animal skins and animal feces inside and outside for seven or eight layers in order to keep warm, although the appearance is ugly, but it can maintain enough temperature in the bitter cold.

"Roddy, what's wrong there?"

Akasha tugged at the scarf around her neck, turned her head and asked, "I see that your face is not very good all the way." ”

"Something isn't quite right, and the plan may need to be changed. ”

Luo Di frowned at all this in front of him, and muttered, "Why is it so bad... I've never heard of such a thing. ”

He looked at the map, if the territory of the "Bada" tribe shrank to such a point, then the territory of the entire barbarian tribe would probably be forty percent less than he remembered!

This is a situation that Luo Di did not expect, he did not consider the impact of the time difference, but the barbarian territory in his memory has not changed since 590, how can it be so much worse just one year?

What's going on in this area?
