At this time, far away on the other side of the continent, a cavalry team of five hundred people was patrolling the edge of a huge mountain range, looking at the snowy mountain range, the leading knight captain also tightened his collar slightly, and then saw a strange snowstorm suddenly formed in front of the mountain range.

"It's weird, there shouldn't be a blizzard this season, scout, go check it out!" The knight captain muttered a few words, and then shouted to a few light cavalry behind him who were very easily equipped, and saw five or six light cavalry like arrows piercing the clouds, instantly past the cavalry captain and galloped forward.

However, just when the cavalry captain was a little impatient, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the forest in front of him, and the cavalry captain also shouted slowly.

"What's the matter?!"

But the strange thing is that the black shadow did not answer the cavalry captain's shout, but just rushed towards the cavalry squadron of five hundred people with an indomitable momentum, and the cavalry captain also felt a different breath and immediately shouted.

"Everyone be careful, defensive formation!"

And just when the cavalry captain's words fell, the 500-man cavalry squadron in the rear also moved quickly, and soon completed the change of formation, and at this time, the cavalry captain also saw the face of the black shadow that was rushing rapidly in front of him, only to see that this was an ordinary cavalry war horse, but the scout on the war horse only had the lower half of the body left, and a huge crack appeared on the scout's half of the scout's body with the blood stains waving on the snow, as if something bit off half of his body.

"Oh my God!" At this time, the strange blizzard was not far away, and the exclamation of the cavalry captain echoed in the snow-covered mountains.

The panicked war horse galloped quickly in the snow-white wilderness, and the crimson blood scattered all over the place also made this snow-white world look very strange and terrifying.

At this time, almost everyone in the cavalry squadron that lined up in formation looked at the only half of the body of the war horse in disbelief, and even a few recruits who had just joined the squadron accidentally let the spears in their hands fall to the ground because of fear.

The wind gradually began to roar, and clean snowflakes also pounced on the captain of the knight squadron. And this veteran, who has more than ten years of war experience, also looked at the blizzard that was about to be buried in front of him with solemn eyes, and made a decision in the shortest possible time.

"All retreat, run! Someone has to get the message out there! A shout rang out from the mouth of the cavalry captain, and the soldiers in the rear appeared to be very well trained. The rows began to turn their horses around and run out of the mountains.

However, they underestimated the strength of the hunter hidden in the darkness, and when the leader of the cavalry squadron had just ridden to the other end of the team and began to lead the entire cavalry squadron towards the outside of the mountains, a roar of war horses also sounded from the rear. I saw that the dead scout's war horse was suddenly thrown to the ground by a black sè figure as tall as him, and a long sword burning with black sè flames also stabbed into the body of the war horse, and in the screams of the war horse, several black sè figures jumped out of nowhere, and then I saw that these figures actually began to eat the screaming war horse raw.

"Damn it, what the hell is this!" The cavalry captain was stunned by what he saw, and muttered to himself, and at this moment, a sharp sound suddenly came from in front of him, and before the cavalry captain could turn his head. A two-handed greatsword full of runes rained down from the sky, pinning the cavalry captain and his crotch to the snow.

"Warriors, feast on the flesh and blood in front of you!" At this time, a figure more than three meters tall also appeared in front of this cavalry squadron, and I saw that this figure even had a magma-like liquid in its mouth, melting the ground into small holes one after another, and a sound that did not look like a human sounded from the mouth of this figure.

I saw the sound of trees cracking, and the black figures rushed out of the woods in an instant, like the vicious wolf that saw the sheep, and rushed towards the cavalry squadron that was still running.

In a few moments, the neighing and screams of war horses and humans echoed in the mountains under the wind and snow. And a bewitching figure with black wings was also floating on the top of the blizzard, looking at the bloody picture below, the corners of his mouth provoked a hint of an interesting smile.

At the same time, in the palace of the Dìdū of the Vic Empire. After listening to Kent's words, Dore frowned slightly.

"Your Royal Highness, do you want us to participate in this treasure investigation as a bounty group hired by the royal family of the Vic Empire?" Dole said with a hint of confusion, and just as Dole finished speaking, Kent's voice sounded in the side hall.

"That's right, because the Bounty Guild has put on an attitude of participating in the competition in advance this time. All the bounty teams and bounty hunters on the bounty list have been recalled to headquarters, so it is a bit difficult for me to find a strong team that is not on the bounty list, and it just so happens that you also have a bounty group, and this time the royal family of the Vic Empire will invite your team to participate in the royal family's investigation with an S-class mission. ”

As if seeing that Dole still had one last question, Kent also showed a confident smile and said, "Moreover, the treasure belongs to each according to his strength when the time comes!" ”

And just as Kent's words fell, Dole's eyes finally brightened, and then he glanced at Kent with an inexplicable smile, and Dole also nodded slowly.

And just as the two were discussing the cooperation plan, a luxurious and wealthy carriage also slowly drove out of the palace and headed towards a hero's square in the northwest city of Dìdū, and after a while, the carriage came to the square where people flowed, and a man who looked seven points similar to Kent also stepped out of the carriage, and then came to the main zhōngyāng of this square, and a figure shrouded in black magic robes seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.

"Your Royal Highness, I wonder if you brought any valuable information this time?!" A sound like a monster eating sounded from the mouth of the mysterious figure, and Prince Stan also took out a parchment scroll with a demonic mark and slowly handed it to the figure's hand.

"Well, Dore, this name seems familiar, I will report your information to the regiment leader." The unpleasant voice came out of the figure's mouth again, and the voice had not yet fallen. I heard Prince Stan suddenly frown and say sharply.

"Maybe I remind you that the head of the regiment understands what happened last time!"

"Hehe, I'll tell you, though. And please don't forget the movements of your dear brother! Hearing Prince Stan's soft shout, the figure also stopped turning away, laughing like a torn piece of paper, and slowly turned away.

"Your Royal Highness. Do we really have to look at those three guys?! At this moment, one of the guards who had been standing behind Stan looked at the figure that had disappeared into the crowd and said to Prince Stan with an ugly face.

"Hmph, they want to use me as cannon fodder, so don't blame me for letting them be exposed first! You bring this message to the ears of those guys at the Imperial Shadow Ministry, and now we're going to see who has the last laugh! Prince Stan snorted coldly, looking at the slowly darkening weather, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then commanded the guards behind him.

"Got it!" The guard nodded slightly. He also glanced at the rain and a cruel glint in his eyes, and then turned and followed Prince Stan out of the square.

The Hemount Empire, a behemoth located in the northeastern part of the Alolit continent, may not be as famous as the Vik Empire in history, nor as magical as the Rogoth Empire in the eyes of bounty hunters, but when it comes to true military strength, the Hemont Empire is undoubtedly the most powerful of the three great human empires.

In this country with twelve legions, perhaps because of the relatively cold climate of the region, each soldier is far stronger in quality than the Vic and Rogoth empires combined, if not for the fact that the other two empires are far stronger than the Seemant Empire in terms of cutting-edge strength. Perhaps there was more to the radical Hymant the Great than that.

At this time, in the dìdū of the Śmant Empire, there were still many bright ice crystals left from last night's blizzard, and these fine Xiaoice solidified on the roofs and beside the road also made the whole dìdū look like a beautiful picture. Many residents of the streets have stepped out of their homes to enjoy the beautiful snowy scenery with a festive attitude.

However, in the royal palace of the Hemount Empire, the atmosphere was very depressing, and I saw that in the main hall of the palace, the twelve generals belonging to the major legions of the empire actually gathered in the royal palace of the Hemount Empire at this time. The evil aura emitted by these generals who have been on the front line of the war all year round makes even the warm wind blowing outside dare not enter this hall.

"Your Majesty, whether this information is true or not, I think it is necessary to inform the other empires and bounty guilds!"

"Your Majesty, I think Old York is right, because this matter is related to the whole continent, and if it is really those things that climb out of that damn cliff again, then we will be in great trouble!"

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

A sound of advice rang out from the mouths of these burly men, and Isprian II, King of Himount, who was sitting on the throne, nodded slowly, and then listened to the king in the prime of life.

"Minister of Foreign Affairs, you are responsible for informing the other empires and the Bounty Guild about this matter, York, Reed, you two will first take your own legions to block that area, if you meet that group of guys, allow you to retreat, and the others will prepare their respective legions for temporary transfers!"

The majestic words also made the idle ministers in this peaceful place start to get busy, and the originally peaceful palace also began to appear with carriages coming and going, and those dìdū city guards also began to conduct wartime training, and a thick dark cloud seemed to be shrouded in this snow-white dìdū, pressing everyone out of breath.

A few days later, on a plain to the west of the Himant Empire, a mountain range that had been shrouded in a snowstorm for nearly a week stood quietly at the end of this plain, and at this time, on the plain, where a little green could still be seen, the earth suddenly began to tremble slightly, which instantly attracted the attention of some soldiers stationed on this plain.

"Huh? Enemy attack? Enemy Attack!! At this time, a loud shout that resounded through the sky also came from a guard tower in front of the garrison on the plains, and a demonic arrow was also instantly lifted into the sky, and then exploded into a bloody mark in mid-air.

"Everybody get moving!" A shout echoed in the military camp behind, and the war horses and warriors wearing the demon armor quickly entered the battle state, and the two burly men also stood at the top of the military camp. Looking at the storm that suddenly appeared on the horizon, his eyes became slightly solemn.

The swords and shields of the warriors were already only in their hands, and the spears hidden in the grass in front of them could quickly bounce up at the moment of the enemy's attack, and pointed forward at an angle of forty-five degrees. Blocking the first wave of the enemy's attack, and on the plain behind them, a group of heavy cavalry had already picked up the spears in their hands, just waiting for the moment when the horn of the charge sounded in the sky, everything was ready in a short instant.

But. In this continent where there have been no demons for too long, it is estimated that no one has been able to really fight a demon, and I don't know what those powerful species that can compete with the gods in the sky in legends look like.

Perhaps this is the reason why fate set the end of this great battle, the storm that hit the plain quickly entered the attack range of many hunters, but because no trace of the enemy was found, the two burly generals did not give the order to attack, but they soon knew that they were wrong.

"Whoosh!" The sound of a heavy object breaking through the air came from the storm, and soon, the second and third sounds of the same sound filled the sky over the plain. At this time, the two generals also gave the order to attack, and a rain of jīng steel arrows also appeared in front of the military formation in an instant.

However, the arrows were too small in size after all, and at this moment, an even more overwhelming attack also broke through the cover of the storm and appeared in front of the military formation, and those huge shadows also hung over the heads of all the soldiers.

"No, it can't be...", a murmur sounded from the mouth of a warrior, and he saw that the thick giant trees were overwhelmingly pressed towards the army like the arrows of giants, and the jīng steel arrows that had just been sent out by the patrol were amazingly penetrating. It's a pity that there is no ability to stop this kind of giant tree that wins in size.

The first giant tree smashed into the military formation, fortunately it didn't hit any of the soldiers, but the second and third giant trees fell fiercely in the middle of the hunters, and immediately brought up a clod of blood and mud.

And at this time. A tall black sè figure also appeared in the storm, and these figures were rushing forward, just when they reached a place about a hundred meters away from the military formation, these huge figures all jumped high, with the black sè rotten skin on their bodies that seemed to be burned by the flames of hell and the magma flowing out of those eyes, and smashed towards the military formation.

"Ahh A scream came from the mouth of a warrior. I saw a soldier of the Purgatory Legion slap the warrior's body with a big hand like ashes, and I saw a pale light suddenly burst out from the warrior's eyes, ears and nose, and after a while, when the scream slowly fell, the burly warrior was left with the demonic armor and long sword he was wearing, and the whole person seemed to have been evaporated.

However, before the Purgatory Legion soldier could turn around, an arrow with a golden sè light shuffled into its chest, and a loud sound like a rock collision sounded from the Purgatory Legion soldier's body, accompanied by a flash of fiery red sè light, and with a bang, the soldier exploded into a cloud of rock fragments, scattering with a little spark.

At this time, on the plain, the heavy cavalry who kept charging were constantly harvesting the lives of one Purgatory Legion soldier after another with their riding spears, perhaps those who could no longer see the human form were no longer alive, and in the powerful group charge, only a fragment of stone full of sparks was left.

Similarly, in order to stop the first wave of attacks of the Purgatory Legion, the Human Legion also paid a great price, seeing that the patrolmen who were hit by the rain of giant trees were only one or two squads, and a pool of bloody and muddy clods covered the grass that was still growing in the cold, and the infantry phalanx of the Human Legion was also torn open a huge opening, although it was slowly closing with the help of the cavalry, but the ashes everywhere were also telling everyone the fierceness of the battle here.

At this moment, as if dissatisfied with the inferno army's offensive being blocked, an angry roar suddenly came from the storm that had stopped not far away, and a huge yīn shadow suddenly appeared in the storm.

"Huh? What is that? At this time, the two human generals, who had not yet moved, were looking at the battlefield in front of them that was gradually gaining the upper hand, and were about to give the order to attack with all their might. I found the huge figure that appeared in the midst of the storm like a small mountain.

"Roar!" A demonic beast's roar suddenly sounded from the shadow, and the huge sound even blew away the hazy storm in front of them, and the Purgatory Legion soldiers who were fighting retreated in unison to the edge of the storm when they heard this roar. And at this time, the huge figure also revealed its true face.

"It's... Mountain Giants! Damn it, heavy crossbowmen prepare! Fast! After seeing the huge stones and thick vines on the figure's body, as well as the boulder-like head and arms, the two human generals also shouted, and the surviving rangers also spread their bodies. Quickly ran towards the rear of the formation.

The Mountain Giants, a race that had disappeared in the age of the gods, had a great reputation in the original wars, and their rock-made bodies were not only immune to most magic, but even some piercing physical attacks could be completely avoided, and their huge arms often became a nightmare for enemy formations, and a single step on them could turn heavy cavalrymen in thick armor into flesh.

And at this moment, just as the mountain giant began to move forward slowly, one of the Terran generals named York also showed a resolute look in his eyes, and then said to the old man beside him for decades.

"Reed, I'll leave it to you. I'm going to hold this mountain giant back! ”

Before the other general could speak, the burly general put on his battle armor, and suddenly turned into a phantom and rushed towards the huge mountain giant, and at this time, the infantry soldiers who were reorganizing the formation saw the general who came out of the formation, and their eyes gradually became blurred, and the long sword and shield in their hands were also held tighter and tighter.

"Hmph, dead bastard, your opponent is here!" A loud roar sounded from the mouth of General York, and he saw the two-handed giant sword in York's hand slashing through the air with dark marks. After killing the two Purgatory Legionnaires who pounced on him in an instant, the whole person also continued to move forward among the shards of rock that burst open.

"Roar!" As if sensing the momentum of the small figure in front of him, the huge mountain giant also roared angrily, and a huge rock arm also smashed down fiercely forward. Completely ignoring the fact that there were other soldiers of the Purgatory Legion there.

"Bang!" A loud bang instantly sounded on this plain, and the huge dust also stirred up from the ground of the grassland into the air, but along with the dust, there was also a golden sword light.

"Die, bastard!" I saw that the figure of General York suddenly broke through the flying dust, and the demonic armor on the whole body also lit up with a golden brilliance. The fighting qi strengthened by the demonic pattern on the giant sword sword was also rushing towards the huge head of the mountain giant with a powerful momentum, if it really hit this time, the head of this mountain giant would definitely be blown into pieces by the strengthened fighting qi.

However, at this moment, a figure that was a little larger than the body of an ordinary soldier suddenly appeared on the head of the mountain giant, and this figure with black flames burning all over his body even held a long sword made of magma in his hand, and a little spark kept slipping from the long sword.

At this time, York's figure was also about to attack the head of the mountain giant, and the figure that suddenly appeared also moved instantly, a gray brilliance suddenly flashed in mid-air, and a little spark opened a mark like a meteor in front of the mountain giant, and the figure of General York's vomiting blood and flying down also appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"Juggernaut—" The two words that were struggling to spit out from York's air also fell on the plain ground with York, and at this time, the huge rocky feet lifted by the mountain giants also obscured all the light above York.

"No, York!!" General Reed, who was far away in the military formation, suddenly shouted angrily, but this could not change what happened next, with the earth trembling, a loud noise also echoed over this plain, and the dust scattered under the feet of the mountain giants even carried some blood-red sè grains, accompanied by the wind that stopped and slowly fell to the ground. (To be continued.) )
