Chapter 213: Ice Dragon Skasa
From Huttonmar, head northeast through the Gran Forest, the Elwyn Line, Birmak, and the Canyon of the Dead to reach the Snowy Lands of Ston, the territory of the Bantu people, located on the Strygh Plateau.
The harsh natural environment has shaped the Bantu into an unusually fierce fighting people, and they are a formidable force to be reckoned with on the continent of Arad!
Before Zhang Chen's arrival.
He was ready.
Alice appeared as a soothsayer, predicting to the Bantu people that the ice dragon had awakened, Alice was the most famous soothsayer in the Arad continent, and her words immediately aroused the attention of the Bantu people, so they hurriedly sent people into the Great Snow Mountain to investigate.
The cold wind blowing from the snow-capped mountains was colder and more intense than usual.
Even the hardy Bantu could not endure such cold.
In addition, there is a terrible evil aura roaming the mountains, which is a harbinger of the recovery of the power of the ice dragon Skaza - Alice's prophecy may be true, which has sent the Bantu people into a panic!
…………
Zhang Chen arrived at the Bantu station with two servants.
Celia changed into a thick cotton jacket and stuffed her head into a fluffy hood, but she was still a little shivering from the cold of this place, while Zhang Chen and Xiao Feng had strong physiques, but they were not very different from what they usually dressed.
However, Xiao Feng put on cool sunglasses, bandages wrapped around his arms, and a pair of Terra Stone fists on both hands, with a burly and muscular body, giving people a fierce martial artist temperament.
The three of them looked down the hillside.
I saw that between the towering mountains and the endless snowfields, there were tens of thousands of tents of the Bantu people, and the strange giant totem poles were the most common decorations in the territory of the Bantu people.
Zhang Chen said: "We have arrived, this is Amros, the largest city in Bantu, it seems that the news of the awakening of the ice dragon Skaza has caused a lot of disturbance to the Bantu people. ”
He saw.
Several long evacuation lines.
Some Bantu people drove plateau yaks and plateau war horses away from their hometowns.
Xiao Feng asked, "What is the origin of the Ice Dragon Skaza?" Why are the sturdy Bantu people so afraid of it! ”
This kind of question is better explained by the omniscient Celia, who replied to Xiao Feng, "The Ice Dragon Skasa is one of the three-headed dragons created by the Tyrannosaurus King Bakar, and his feud with the Bantu clan has been going on for five hundred years! ”
Bakar again?
Xiao Feng heard this name more than once.
Bakar is the original Ninth Apostle in the Demon Realm.
He knew that the city in the sky was the legacy of Bakar, and the powerful city of light lord Seghart in the city in the sky was also Bakar's loyal subordinate, but he did not expect that this ice dragon Skasa, which could make the entire Bantu tribe fear, even flee and relocate, was also Bakar's masterpiece.
Celia continued: "This matter starts five hundred years ago......
Around 500 years of the Arad calendar.
Bakar, the ruler of the Celestial Realm, created three dragons and released them on the continent of Arad.
Among them, Skassar descended on the Stelle Plateau, and the low temperature of the ice dragon's breath caused the temperature of the snow-capped mountains to drop sharply, and a large number of Bantu people were frozen to death.
In desperation.
The Bantu retreated southeast into the territory of the Empire.
At that time, the Delos Empire had not yet been established, it was the late stage of the Pelus Empire, because of the failure of the empire's invasion of the Western Void Motherland, the death of Emperor Falmelia IV, the country was in a state of division, and the Pelus Empire fought with the Bantu for thirty years.
The war was called: "The Battle of Snow".
The ending of the first snow-colored battle was dramatic.
Because when the two sides were inseparable, the Tyrannosaurus King Bakar's reign in the Celestial Realm was ended, and the Celestial Realm people paid hard struggles and sacrifices to finally kill the Tyrannosaurus King.
Because Skasa was a product of the Tyrannosaurus King's creation, the death of the Tyrannosaurus King put Skasa into a deep sleep, and the Battle of Snow ended, and the Bantu tribe and the Empire ceased war, and Bantu returned to live in the snowy region of Ston.
About 300 years later.
831 Arad.
Scamsar suddenly woke up.
The Bantu fled the snowy region of Ston and once again invaded the territory of the Empire.
At this time, although the empire was still an empire, it had changed from Perus to Delos, and the Delos empire had just established relations for more than a hundred years and was in a period of rapid rise.
This time the peace was very sensible.
Skarsa woke up for only 5 years and fell back into a deep sleep.
This time, the empire suffered a small loss, but it also bought peace, creating opportunities for the empire to continue to grow.
In 835, the ice dragon hibernated, and Bantu returned to the Stelle Plateau, but the shadow brought by the ice dragon Skasa has always shrouded the Bantu people.
967 Arad.
That is, 19 years ago, Scarza woke up again.
The Bantu crossed the Stru Mountains to reach the territory of the Empire, where the Emperor Hainrich III had just ascended the throne, and the sixteen-year-old emperor had already revealed his strong personality and ambition to "unify the continent".
He first pretended to accept a peace treaty concluded more than a hundred years ago, and gave up Charit to the Bantu people to live in.
But secretly took advantage of his unpreparedness to send the "Purple Mist" led by Kane to raid the Bantu tribe.
The Second Battle of Snow has broken out!
At this time, the Delos Empire was not comparable to the Pelus Empire, which was in decline in national strength, and almost defeated the Bantu troops, and once captured Amros, the largest city of the Bantu people, causing the death of about seventy percent of the Bantu people.
If it weren't for the fact that there was nothing to follow.
The Bantu have been exterminated.
Xiao Feng heard this and asked, "What happened later?" ”
Celia said, "The Imperial army is chasing after the victory, and they want to eliminate the biggest hidden danger in this place by the way, the ice dragon Skasa!" ”
"The result?"
Xiao Feng asked before he reacted.
This question seems to be purely superfluous.
"The Imperial generals apparently underestimated the sheer nature of the mountains and the strength of the Skasa, and an entire Imperial legion was wiped out, and it is said that none of them made it out of the snowy mountains alive, and the Bantu continued their bloodline," Celia said. ”
Xiao Feng's expression was strange.
The most hated Skasa of the Bantu.
Instead, Bantu escaped the fate of extermination.
Xiao Feng finally understood why Queen Skadi would ask the Bantu for help.
It has only been 19 years since the end of the Second Snow Battle, and most of the elders of the Bantu tribe have experienced this tragic battle, and they have a bitter hatred for the Empire.
The Void Motherland is too far away.
The Dark Elf Kingdom is unreliable.
At this juncture, the only people who can intervene in the war and contain the empire are the Bantu forces.
However, the Bantu are far from recovering from the war of nineteen years ago, and it is almost impossible for them to send troops against the empire in such a situation.
So.
Zhang Chen woke up the ice dragon Skasa.
This way he can deal with the ice dragon on the condition.
In exchange for an alliance between the Bantu and the Duchy of Mar.
Even if the worst happens, even Zhang Chen and his gang can't fight the ice dragon.
In the face of the awakened ice dragon, Bantu can only move to the southeast, and if he moves to the southeast, he will definitely invade the empire, in this case, he has no choice but to form an alliance with the Duchy of Belmar.
So it doesn't matter which direction it goes.
Zhang Chen was able to complete this mission!
Inside the central marquee of Amros, Bantu.
Zhang Chen, Xiao Feng, and Selia were received by the Bantu chieftain Buwanga, and Alice happened to be at the scene.
The Bantu chieftain Buwanga is not an ordinary person, as one of the Four Sword Saints of Arad, he is a top powerhouse on a par with Forrest Gump, Bahn, and Xilan.
He is also the famous hero of Arad who rose up to fight Shylock in the Cave of Sorrows.
Buwanga was less than thirty years old, the second youngest of the Four Sword Saints, but the Bantu people had a lot of hair, and his golden beard was as threatening as a mighty lion, but it also made him look like the oldest of the Four Sword Saints.
Alice said, "These are the big adventurers I mentioned to you. ”
Buwanga nodded: "I have heard about your heroic deeds, and I have also received news from Lord Alice for the purpose of your coming here." ”
Zhang Chen sent Queen Skady's letter: "This is the queen's handwritten letter, please take a look at the patriarch." ”
Buwanga took the letter, but he didn't even look at it, as if he was not at all interested in the conditions proposed by Queen Skadi, he stared at Zhang Chen, and said with a serious face: "It is not impossible for the Bantu clan to ally with the principality against the empire, I have only one condition, or one request." ”
Zhang Chen asked, "What request?" ”
Buwanga replied, "I hope that a few great adventurers will help the Bantu to destroy the ice dragon Skasa!" ”
The words just fell.
A system prompt sounds.
"System Prompt: Trigger Side Quest!"
"Mission content: Destroy the ice dragon Skasa!"
actually triggered the task again, which was unexpected by Zhang Chen.
It seems that whether he wants to do it before or not, this ice dragon Skasa must fight!
