The night was lit up again and again by intermittent flickering lights, and as the figures swayed, the furious shouts of the snow monsters gradually turned into wails, and finally... Silence.

Because there is no concept of "formation", all the snow monsters who rushed into the battle formation were swallowed by the sword light and sword shadow - the "group cooperation" combat method perfectly restrained the snow monsters, which are individually powerful but few in number, and under the "care" of Akasha, the entire combat team never died.

"Change formation, advance!"

Sodrore's emotionless command sounded in his ears, and the heavily armored soldiers in the front row immediately raised their shields and strode to the front of the entire battle formation.

At this time, more than 20 attacking snow monsters have all fallen, and several of the guys who are still alive look at these not tall warriors with frightened faces, and their mouths are snorting with "ho ho" - at this time, they no longer have the desire for "food" in their minds, and they just want to turn around and flee as far as possible, but before these snow monsters can get up, the chain hammers and swords of the soldiers fall mercilessly...

Like a farmer harvesting wheat, the procession of twenty hoplites in the vanguard began to move in silence at a regular pace, the soldiers on the flanks filled the gap with short spears, and the sappers in the rear followed with short bows.

Roddy was very satisfied with the performance of this defensive battle, and at this time he still did not interfere with Sodrore's orders, but followed the rear of the team in silence, continuing to carry out the "acceptance".

The first batch of snow monsters was not all the combat power of the snow monster group in the abandoned village, as the soldiers slowly advanced, the snow monsters that followed also began to foolishly pounce on the team - one, three, ten, the scattered figures on the horizon appeared one by one, and then one by one they were silently swallowed by this team...

"Knock, knock, knock..."

The footsteps of nearly 100 people gradually unified as they marched, echoing on the snowfield like a drumbeat.

Hundreds of meters away, behind the dirt slope, the barbarian team that had just had a relaxed atmosphere was already silent - they not only saw the demise of the snow monster vanguard troops, but also watched these "short" humans step by step into the village full of snow monsters, and smoothed everything out in the dull footsteps...

"Boom. ”

Avala swallowed hard, her eyes still fixed on the distance—the screams of the snow monsters in the village died down, and then she saw the light of the torches, and then the smoke of the long-abandoned rooftops.

"He... They turned out..."

Avala didn't know how to organize her language for a while, and her original plan was completely overturned, and even went on the opposite path, with the unexpected result that the barbarians collectively lost their voices.

They knew exactly how many snow monsters there were in this abandoned village, and Avala had never thought of any conflict with them anyway, and he had even thought a few times about letting the tribe retreat again - but now?

"Chief, we... Do you want to attack?"

The sound of inquiry next to him pulled Avala back from his chaotic thoughts, and he was stunned, trying to speak, but found that his throat was dry and he couldn't speak.

"Attack?"

Avala's eyes flashed back to the terrifying sight of the snow monster tearing apart his comrades many years ago, and the fear that penetrated deep into his bone marrow made him shiver - hundreds of powerful snow monsters were so wiped out, and in the face of such combat power, his own people rushed forward... Can you grab something?

"If you think you can, you can do it. ”

Even though he was discouraged to say this, Avala had to give up the idea of continuing to attack. The barbarians are not good at using their brains, but their intuition in terms of "fighting" is very sensitive, and when the difference in strength is too large, Avala will definitely not be stupid enough to send him to death.

"Minimum loss for maximum benefit" is Avala's principle, and it is the only secret to his positive population growth over the years.

After the order was passed down, the barbarian hunters silently began to evacuate. The creaking snow left footprints, and Avala walked among the groups, thinking about the next steps with a gloomy face, and from time to time he turned his head to look at the village that once belonged to them in the distance, and there were some indescribable complex emotions in his eyes.

He made what he thought was the right choice, but he didn't notice... The hunters who are accustomed to "escape" around them have long lost the fighting spirit that once belonged to the "warriors".

Because at this time, they don't even have the mood of "frustration".

Following.

The green smoke from the burning stove was blown away by the north wind, and when the sunlight reflected the ground through the reflection of the snow, the traces of last night's battle were clearly displayed in front of Roddy.

The spilled blood stretched from the distant dirt slope all the way to the village, and the corpses of the snow monsters were scattered across the white and red ground, and the horrific scene reminded Roddy of an attack on the village in the territory of the Orc Kingdom.

"I really didn't think about it... This kind of problem turned out to be not solved by themselves. ”

After thinking about it all night and making revisions to many plans and ideas, Roddy has finally adjusted his mindset and is back on this icy land as an "explorer" and "conqueror".

The one hundred and twenty snow monsters who had occupied the village were completely slaughtered by the steel meat grinder-like forces - with Akasha to protect them, the team suffered no losses, only potions and weapons. With firewood and a warm house, the team was finally well rested, but Roddy and Sodlore spent the night discussing under the lights, and it was only then that everything was decided on next.

"When Conn the Great regained the lost land, the inhabitants did not show any signs of welcome. That's the case with those outcasts, let alone these guys. ”

Sodlore, who was wearing a fur hat, rubbed his eyes, yawned and tied his fur coat tightly: "If you want to cooperate, sometimes you can only rely on force. This time it's a long memory. ”

"It should be that I have a long memory, to put it bluntly, I am preconceived. Roddy didn't shirk his responsibility, the friendship between the two didn't need to say too much nonsense, at least after this night's battle, Roddy was completely relieved of Sodrore's talent: the training was well-trained, the battle was decisive, and the "blade" general in front of him already had the ability to break gold and crack stones.

The two chatted outside, while Akasha prepared breakfast in front of the fire in the house. The red charcoal emitted heat, making the room warm, and Nata, who had been standing guard outside, returned from a shift and was sitting next to the fire - unlike outside, the two girls inside seemed a little silent.

After many similar battles, the two of them had long lost any emotion in their hearts. Nata slowly flexed and straightened her fingers, relieving the stiffness caused by the low temperature. Akasha on the side noticed her movements, looked over, thought for a moment, and raised her hand to release a magic spell.

In the faint light, her hands gradually regained their original flexibility, Nata looked down, her eyes raised a little unnaturally, her lips moved a few times, and finally said, "Thank you." ”

Akasha always had some misunderstandings about this beautiful but always silent wood elf, but after getting along for a long time, she also understood that there was no "ambiguity" between the other party and Roddy. Showing kindness and friendliness was something she felt she should do.

Smiling at Nata, she handed over a piece of bread and got up to call Roddy, but as soon as she walked out of the house, the non-commissioned officer's command rang out in the distance: "Assemble in an hour, ready to march!"

Erwin had woken up a little late today because of yesterday's hunting, but when he put on his hides and walked out of the house, he felt that something was not quite right in the atmosphere around him.

This young barbarian warrior is passionate about combat, but he knows nothing about "human feelings", and to put it simply, he has a simple mind and developed limbs. He couldn't see the gloomy aura that gripped the tribe, but he felt that the chattering women were more noisy than ever:

"Those men killed hundreds of snow monsters..."

"The leader was supposed to steal their weapons, but in the end there was no way-"

"But it's a good thing, the snow monsters who robbed our village have been killed. ”

"What's the good thing? What if those people come and kill us?"

A few words came into his ears, Erwin felt that it was wrong when he heard it, he stopped and asked a few words, but after getting the answer, his face suddenly changed: "How... How so!?"

He was surprised at first, then he was angry, and without saying a word, he rushed towards the chief's house.

At this time, the two old hunters happened to come out of the house, and when they saw Erwin's appearance, they immediately noticed that something was wrong, and reached out to stop them, but they were pushed away by the young warrior.

"I have something to ask the chief!"

The barbarians don't talk about the old and the young, but only pay attention to personal bravery, although the two hunters are old, they are no longer Erwin's opponents, and at this time they were knocked away by brute force, and they could only watch him enter the house...

"What are you asking?"

Elwyn's loud voice was heard clearly by Avala, and he slowly stood up, the room seemed to be cramped by his strong frame.

"Why did you attack them, if it weren't for the help of those people, at least four hunters would have died yesterday!" Erwin was furious by the feeling of being deceived, even if the other party was the leader, he still had to ask, "What do you think they are?"

"Pay attention to your attitude. ”

The two hunters outside the house rushed in and grabbed Erwin's shoulders, but he shook his arms unconvinced and threw them away, took a step forward and said, "You have to give me an explanation!"

In the tense atmosphere, the two seemed to be about to fight in the next second, but there was an uproar outside the house at this time, which made Erwin and Avala turn their heads...

"Those guys are coming!"
