Chapter 230: Blowing the Trumpet
In the end, Derek couldn't convince Jason to let him go, and he left Iron Fang with a lot of frustration.
She had to go back and consult the wise man of the royal family, her grandfather, an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years, and was known as the wisest member of the Poseidon clan.
And before leaving, she also left a few ropes engraved with intricate runes, telling Jason to replace them with this thing in the future when Adrian's seal went wrong.
It's just that she thinks that as long as Jason usually pays attention to Adrian's state and other issues, he may never need this thing.
It's best never to use these ropes.
In addition, Jason has not built a huge "luxury prison" for Adrian, buried deep in the earth, and spent a lot of money to build.
All guards are the responsibility of the Crows, and no one is allowed to enter without Jason or Hassan personally leading them.
As for the huge gem left by Rockefeller, it was transported to the contracted basement by Jason with great difficulty.
Although he didn't know what this thing was for, he would figure it out sooner or later, and Rockefeller couldn't have left him with something useless.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have left that puzzling sentence at Jason.
In addition, Jason was most worried about the army and the artisan slaves who went to the ice field, although there were very few ice storms at this time.
And they are all well prepared for this mission, but Jason is still worried about what will happen to them.
After all, you can't get Rockefeller to help you every time you encounter difficulties.

"It's back again. ”
Dorn exhaled a breath of white mist on his horse, and couldn't help but whisper as he looked at the vast ice field in front of him.
This time, because of the large number of troops and some building materials, it was inevitable that the pace of the army's advance was slowed down, and the distance that could have been completed in less than a month took them nearly two months.
"Where is that barbarian camp?"
Beowulf rode from behind, looking at a few hills in the distance that were not very obvious.
"It's almost there, it should only be two or three days away. ”
Dorn took out the map he had drawn by hand, compared the nearby terrain and landforms, and said.
This is not to be done lightly, otherwise a small mistake by him could cause the team to suffer huge losses.
Getting lost on the ice field is not very fatal because of the help of the hounds, but it is still possible to waste some of the supplies.
"Lord Beowulf, can you let me lead a group of vanguard soldiers to explore the way tonight, and if the conditions allow, we will attack directly. Then Dorn pleaded.
The supreme commander of this team is not his little knight, but this unfathomable Beowulf.
"No, send the falcons and scouts to reconnoiter the movements of these barbarians first, and after three days we will directly lead our troops to suppress them by force, preferably to force them to disarm and surrender. ”
Beowulf immediately shook his head and dismissed Dorn's idea, apparently he had a plan in mind.
"My lord, these barbarians are difficult to tame and very aggressive, leaving them with only a few hundred mouths to eat!"
Dorn was alarmed by this, several of his brothers had died at the hands of this barbarian tribe.
"Please remember where you stand, Sir Dorne. ”
Beowulf's eyes narrowed, and his supernatural power was aroused, and he said in a loud voice: "Don't be blinded by hatred. ”
He had been reminded by Jason in Irontooth that Dorne had an indissoluble hatred for these barbarians.
When Dorn heard this, a cold sweat immediately flowed down, and he realized that he was almost in a dead end because of this.
But even though he realized his mistake, Dorne still couldn't let go of what had happened that day.
Dorne: "My lord, then when attacking, please leave the barbarian strong man to me." ”
Then he said in a deep voice, this was his last request.
Beowulf looked at his eyes quietly for a long time before nodding slightly: "I hope you can understand what you are doing, you still have your father and family." ”
"These thousands of soldiers behind me also have their families and concerns. ”
Dorne lowered his eyes and said softly.
Beowulf: "So I'll do everything I can to bring them all back to my hometown." ”
He said, but he knew very well that this was simply a fantasy.
......................................................
Two days later, Beowulf with 1,500 soldiers came five miles south of the barbarian tribe.
According to the scouts, this barbarian tribe is only about five hundred in size, which is the number of all the old and young people in the tribe.
So Beowulf decided to take it by a frontal assault, preferably by force-dropping them, for although they had brought slaves, they were far less useful than a group of powerful barbarian slaves.
"Blow the trumpet. ”
The army advanced slowly, and as they approached the col, where they could already see the somewhat flustered barbarians of the tribe, Beowulf finally raised his sword and gave a loud order.
Woo ~ woo ~ woo ~ woo ~
The melodious trumpets sounded, and the army of the Iron Tooth Collar still used the most basic shield soldiers in front and the archers in the rear, because they lacked cavalry, so the flank army was replaced by infantry with strong shields.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of neat footsteps sounded, and the neat military formation brought great pressure to the barbarians in the distance.
"Chieftain, what are we going to do?"
In the barbarian tribe, the nervous warrior of the barbarians who had led the attack on the expedition said to a stronger barbarian in front of him.
"What did Master Larry say?"
The tall chief did not answer, but asked rhetorically.
"Mistress Larry says we can't face the enemy's formation, and we'd better ...... Evacuate here. ”
"Gu, you have to understand that we, the old and weak, can't escape the pursuit of the enemy. ”
The barbarian chief looked away from the military formation, and looked sadly at some of the old men and children who were shivering not far behind him.
"The Tusas will not give up their people. ”
"Let our warriors take up their weapons, and we will fight until the last moment for our people. ”
"I see, Chief. ”
The barbarian warrior named Gu looked at his chief for a moment, took a deep breath, nodded, and turned to leave.
