Chapter 32: Encounter!
"Brother Dorne, how far have we come?"
"Soon, I'm about to go out!" The originally strong Dorn looked a little haggard at this time, with an extra hideous scar on his face, his original simple and simple temperament added a bit of fierceness, and his eyes revealed a bit of hatred and sorrow from time to time.
Three months later, only seventeen of the fifty men of the expedition into the Northland Ice Fields were left to make their way through the wind and snow! They encountered great terror in the ice fields! The unexpected loss of their companion left Dorne in agony!
If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the giant bear Rockfellow, they wouldn't even have these seventeen people left!
"I will, come back to you!" Dorne's eyes filled with hatred, and Dorne glanced back at the vast snowy field behind him!
"Then, kill you!"
This is to say that a month ago, Dorne and his party used the Northland Hound of part-time sled dogs to pull them forward on the snow, and there was no snowstorm for more than a month, which made everyone think that this is a good sign!
"What a stroke of luck in the ice field this time!" said one of them, looking at the sun in the sky.
"Yes, I'll use the adult's bounty to build a big house when I get back from this expedition, and find a teacher for my cub by the way!" The other chimed in, and Jason had given them a generous bounty, enough for them to squander for a long time or improve their family life.
"Oh, the good man of the Gu family!" his words instantly attracted a burst of good-natured laughter!
"I just want a warm bed at home!" another hunter said with nostalgia in his tone, he had been out for more than a month, and he didn't know what was going on at home.
"Hahaha, you miss your wife, right?" There was another burst of laughter, which made the man's face flush with anger!
"Don't you want your own woman?" he shyly and angrily tried to beat the guy who made fun of him!
"Hahaha!" There was another burst of laughter, and these little episodes gradually filled everyone's tired mood with vitality!
"These guys!" Dorn shook his head helplessly, looking at the newly drawn ice map in his hand, which marked hills, glacial lakes and other terrain, this is their result in the past month, although no resources and minerals have been found, but this map is enough to attract Jason's attention!
This is the first step in exploring the ice field, and the next group to come to the ice field will not be an expedition team like theirs, but an exploration team with them as guides and protected by a regular army!
"Alright, stop and try to find a shelter before dark, I don't want to sleep in the snow anymore!" Dorn stopped the crowd, trying not to waste any energy on this ice field!
"Yes, Big Brother Dorne!" Dorne is still very prestigious among the people!
"Dorne! Barbarian!" just as a bearded man suddenly pointed to the right side of the sled team and yelled at Dorne!
"Alert!" Dorn saw that more than a dozen barbarians more than two meters tall were standing on the snow in the distance, covered in unknown animal skins, and holding rudimentary weapons in their hands!
The weapons in their hands were uneven, some were made of bone, some were holding huge wooden clubs with animal teeth, and some were holding weapons made of metal, but they were relatively rough!
They had dark yellow eyes like beasts, fangs in their mouths, and heavy breathing, staring at them all!
He is very nervous now, barbarians are just a kind of name for them, in fact, this race is not human, they have their own civilization and history, but they are maliciously scandalized, they live on the ice field in the form of tribal groups, and their strong physique makes them fearless of the cold!
Few of the people in the group dared to say that they could defeat the barbarians in a one-on-one situation, they were really too strong!So Dorne could only rely on the cooperation of the crowd and the suppression of bows and arrows to win!
"Shield Hands Defend in Array with Shields, and the rest wait until the Barbarians come into range and shoot freely!" Dorn quickly ordered, as he saw that the Barbarians had already begun to charge towards them!
"Figure!" One of the strongest and tallest savages, with a string of bone ornaments around his neck, raised his rough iron broadsword in his hand, bared his mouth full of fangs, and roared!
"Tu! Sa!" the rest of the barbarians also shouted to the sky, their eyes full of fanaticism, and then launched a charge against Dorne and his party!
And the barbarian who led the way didn't act, just looked at everyone there, his eyes calm and terrifying!
Dorn took a deep breath, took out the centaur longbow he was carrying, adjusted it slightly, drew an iron arrow and aimed it at the charging barbarians, and then let go of his fingers!
The Centaur Longbow has a much longer range than a normal hunting bow, and is far more powerful and accurate than the latter!
"Whoosh!" the iron arrow tore through the air right in the middle of a barbarian's brow!
Dead!
The hunters also began to perform, and the arrows hit the vulnerable places of the barbarians' eyes and throats, and three more barbarians fell one after another!
"Roar!" There was a loud roar, and the barbarian leader rushed over when he saw that the situation was wrong, and after his roar, all the barbarians raised their arms one after another to protect their vital points!
"Stop firing the arrows!" Dorn said to him, damn it, so that the damage of ordinary bows and arrows to them is very limited!
"Throw spears and shoot, melee preparations!Leave the big guy over there to me!" At this time, you can only use more powerful spear throwing, Dorn solemnly looked at the barbarian leader who was rushing in the distance, this is the biggest threat!
Bending his bow and arrows, he stared at the enemy deadly, as soon as he entered the shooting range, he was greeted by the summons of death!
"The shield man meets the charge! The rest of the men are in a team of three, and they are surrounded and killed!" Then two more barbarians were nailed to the ground with spears thrown by the crowd, but they were also rushed to the front of the battle by these barbarians who had fallen into madness!
At this time, there were only twelve barbarians left, most of them with some wounds, but the blood stimulated the madness in their hearts even more!
"Roar!" A beastly roar sounded, and these Northland men, who were generally about two meters tall and held shields, were knocked to the ground by the stronger barbarians!
But their indomitable momentum was interrupted, and the hunters with scimitars or spears in the back immediately stepped forward to besiege them!
"Whoosh!" another cracked the air, and Dorne struck again, aiming at the barbarian leader!
Although Dorn didn't expect that he would be able to kill the opponent with this blow, what he never expected was that the opponent actually used the bulky crude broadsword in his hand to knock out the fast-shooting arrow!
"Trouble!" Dorn gritted his teeth, anxious, for at the same time as the barbarians fell, the casualties of his companions began to appear!
The leader of the barbarians on the opposite side was also secretly frightened, and his palms were a little numb after he was shocked after parrying the flying arrows, which was enough to guess what a huge power this arrow had!
This also aroused the desire in his heart, the desire to cut off the head of this human powerhouse and serve as his own glorious trophy!
"Roar!" his steps were a little faster! Nearly three meters tall put a lot of pressure on Dorne!
It's not that he hasn't killed barbarians, and even in one-on-one situations, he has the confidence to play with these clumsy guys between applause, but this guy in front of him is obviously not among them!
After a few quick shots, Dorn was sure that the other party didn't happen to shoot his own arrows, but that he had the strength to do so!
"Kill!" Leaving the longbow on the sled, Dorne drew his long knife and rushed forward with his shield in his left hand, ready to fight the big guy in hand-to-hand combat, their weapons were carefully prepared for them by Jason before they set off!
Don doesn't want to defeat him, he just wants to hold him back, and help him when the soldiers behind him finish dealing with these minions!
"Tu! Sa!" The barbarian leader saw Dorne rush out of the crowd, and roared excitedly, his steps rumbling!
"Kill!" the two of them rushed at full speed, and they would collide together in the blink of an eye!
The shield of Dorne was raised, and the barbarian leader was condescending, and the big sword in his hand slashed down!
