Chapter 11 Mountaineering
A team of more than thirty people took advantage of the night to move forward, led by a young Docdos, followed by more than thirty snow elves and two spirits. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The group of people moved very quickly, but silently, at first glance, it was a battle-hardened formation, the leading young man stopped moving from time to time, and the following team also stopped, and after a while, the young man saw the creature in the distance walking away, and began to beckon the team to continue walking.
The night of the Brent snowfield was silent except for the howling of the wind, and the group walked cautiously on the empty snowfield, for they would become the prey of the hunters of the cruel snowfield at any moment.
The young man in the lead looked up at the shadow of the great snowy mountain of Garramar in the distance, there was still a long way to go, and they had to speed up their pace, this matter was crucial, and they must not let up. The young man gritted his teeth, although his face was red from the cold, he was still not afraid of the icy and biting cold wind, this is the tough Docdos, and he will never back down.
"Hey, Javier, don't be so nervous, relax your mind, our operation this time is not so dangerous. Seeing the nervous young man of Docdos, Silver Axe St. Louis comforted the young man in a relaxed tone.
"No! I ...... I'm not nervous......" Javier whispered.
In fact, for this young Docdos, although he will not retreat, although he will try to overcome his fear, he will still feel somewhat nervous in the face of such an action.
"Don't listen to that stinky dwarf, this is a well-known suicide attempt for everyone, and you'd better be prepared to die. Raymond said sharply.
Silver Axe immediately glared at Raymond, who continued as if he hadn't seen it, "You young man, you really shouldn't have listened to that Yayadak, he wants you to die!"
"You dead rat!" scolded Silver Axe.
"Yayadak won't harm me! he's my most respected Dockdos warrior!"
Javier yelled at Raymond, which surprised Raymond, because after Javier led everyone away, Javier had been silent and childish.
"Hey, boy, that's right, Yayadak is my friend, he's a man of integrity!" said Silveraxe proudly.
The people who can be regarded as friends by the Silver Axe are definitely amazing people and trustworthy people, of course, this also includes the rat spirit Raymond, but the people of the Silver Axe family are not so unanimous about whether Raymond is trustworthy or not, but this does not prevent Silver Axe St. Louis's trust in him from weakening, although Raymond's mouth is indeed vicious.
"Yes, fortunately, we ran into Yayadak when we were out of Docdos, and if it was someone else, I'm afraid we would have informed Makarov of them. Mary Nicky's words won everyone's approval.
At that time, when everyone was sneaking out of the city, they happened to meet Ayadaq, who was guarding the city gate, and Ayadak caught everyone right, but after understanding the intentions and determination of Silver Axe St. Louis, he immediately decided to let everyone out of the city, and Ayadak also introduced a young Docdos who knew the Great Snow Mountains of Garamar very well to Silver Axe, and this person was Javier.
Javier once went to the Garramar Snow Mountains alone to collect the precious Garamar Snow Lotus in order to treat his seriously ill father, and Javier knew a shortcut to the top of the Garamar Snow Mountains.
Led by Javier, the group crossed the Brent Snow Field and headed towards the foot of the Great Snow Mountain of Garamar, a foot on the side of the snowy mountain.
After completing the Silver Axe St. Louis' Dream Guide at the top of the Mountain, you can move to the enemy's base camp from the other side, but the path is more difficult, as you may step into one of the Snow Mountain Giants' Gathering Place.
But this is also the best path at the moment, at least there will be fewer obstacles when going up the mountain, everyone said that since Javier knows this snowy mountain best, then the path is planned by Javier, and everyone will trust Javier, so Javier is very grateful, and Javier is secretly determined to bring everyone to the top of the snowy mountain safely.
The snow in the Great Snow Mountains of Garramar is quite thick, and it is very difficult to walk, everyone takes one step at a time, and moves slowly, at this time, until the dawn breaks, which makes everyone more nervous, usually the light always brings a sense of hope, but for this group, the coming of light means that they are more likely to be found by dangerous creatures, so everyone must be more cautious.
As we continued to march, there was a noisy sound from the other side of the mountain, and it seemed that tens of thousands of footsteps began to move forward at the same time, and the sound resounded throughout the valley.
"The enemy has gone into action. Massano, the chief of the guard, paused, and looked away at the vague snowfields of Brent in the distance, the enemy's movements, heralding the coming of war.
"Hah! they're busy with the Snowhammer!" said Silveraxe, smirking as if he had nothing to do with the war.
Silver Axe then beckoned everyone to move on, after all, their time is also precious, this Silver Axe is still very clear, although he has always been casual, but as a rare outstanding leader, Silver Axe is still very good at judging the situation.
"Hey, a person with a big heart is ......happy," Raymond muttered quietly, but he had arrived at the Garramar Snow Mountain, and there was nothing he could do, and Raymond had to follow everyone to move forward with difficulty.
The snow on the snowy mountain is very thick, although the road that Javier took everyone to walk is still a very easy road to walk, but for these dwarves and spirits, it is still too difficult, the snow is not above Javier's knees, which means that the snow is up to the dwarves' waists, and for the two spirits, it is even more difficult to say. But there was no complaint...... Well, except for Raymond.
After another journey, suddenly Artir noticed something.
"Icewolf!"
"Ahh
Javier also saw the ice wolf, it should be said that everyone saw the ice wolf, not one, not two or three, but a group of ice wolf, this is a complete ice wolf pack.
Inadvertently, the wolves had completely brought everyone into the encirclement they had designed, and an unusually large wolf came out of the pack, and everyone could see that this was their head wolf.
"Hold your weapons, my boys!"
Silver Axe St. Louis let out a low roar and pulled out his battle axe and shield at the same time, while the others also drew their weapons at the beckoning of Silver Axe, and the only one who did not move was Mary Nicki.
When Silver Axe and the others pulled out their weapons, the wolves who surrounded them took a step back, but the retreat was fleeting, and they continued to shrink the encirclement, and the head wolf stood in place, looking up at Silver Axe and the others, and did not take any further action.
According to common sense, this encirclement is set up quite cleverly, when the prey is encircled, the wolves usually look up to the sky and howl, that is, to celebrate the perfect roundup, and increase the prey's timidity, but this time the wolves did not do this, just quietly surrounded the silver axe and others, the encirclement is already quite small, and the wolves are waiting for the first wolf to give the final order, hunt and kill.
"Everyone, put away your weapons!
While staring at the first wolf in the pack, Mary Nicki reminded everyone in a stern tone that Mary Nicki, who has always been gentle, would never speak in this tone, which shows how dangerous and urgent it is at this time.
After hearing Nicky's order, everyone didn't even hesitate, and immediately put away their weapons, including Raymond and Javier, Raymond showed full trust in Nicki, while Javier was a little shocked, and his body involuntarily obeyed Nicki's order.
When the wolf saw that Mary Nicki had ordered everyone to put away their weapons, he turned his head sideways and looked at Nicky, who also looked at the wolf directly, looking at each other, and Nicki did not avoid his gaze at all.
Step by step, the wolf approached Nicky, it bared its teeth, and in a few steps it walked up to Nicky, and stood beside Nicky, its huge mouth open as if it was about to swallow Nicky.
Seeing this scene, Javier seemed to want to draw his weapon and rush forward, but before he could act, he was grabbed by the wrist of Silver Axe St. Louis, who did not look at Javier, but looked at Nicki with a resolute gaze, Javier glanced at the Silver Axe, and then looked at the rest of the group, everyone looked at Mary Nicki with determination, but there was no intention of acting.
The wolf didn't bite off Mary Nicky's head, it closed its mouth, sniffed Nicky instead, and then stood by and stared straight at Nicky, as if waiting for Nicky to speak.
"Dear King of the Icewolves, I am Mary Nicki, Guardian of the North and daughter of Mary Nervin, the patriarch of the Mary family, and it is an honor to meet you, the legendary King of the Wolves, Garret. Mary Nicki said to the head wolf in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Whew. The wolf, Garret, snorted, as if to signal Nicki to continue.
"I know that you rarely appear in people's field of vision, now because of those enemies stationed at the foot of the Garramar Snow Mountain, the ice wolves on the Brent Snow Field no longer have much habitat, you have to appear, guide your own group to survive here, but you also know that on the Garamar Snow Mountain, you can't easily provoke that group of Snow Mountain Giants, although with your strength, you can easily slaughter a team of Snow Mountain Giants, but that will inevitably attract the retaliation of the Snow Mountain Giants, you will definitely be safe and sound, but your race will definitely be devastated。 ”
Mary Nicki spoke her opinion in a calm tone.
Garrett didn't say anything, but everyone seemed to notice it, and it nodded slightly, not quite convinced, but it really seemed to nod slightly.
Mary Nicki seemed to feel something, too, so she continued.
"You rarely appear, but you appear and guide your own race, proving that this is also related to the future of the ice wolf, the contradiction between the ice wolf and the people of the extreme north snow, that is because of the contradiction produced by nature, but those enemies, our common enemy, are caused by unnatural causes, the purpose of our trip is to drive away the group of enemies who destroy the ecological balance of the far north snowy region, and I hope that you and your race will let us go, let us climb to the top of the Garamar Snow Mountain!"
Garrett stared at Mary Nicki, as if thinking about her words, and everyone was waiting for its conclusion, whether it would be a peaceful solution or a fight to the death, just in the thought of Garret, the king of the Icewolf.
The atmosphere was very solemn, and Mary Nicki was not completely sure, she was closest to Garrett, and she knew that when Garrett decided to go to war, her head would be smashed by Garrett's claws with a single blow.
"Whew. A moment later, Garrett suddenly let out a soft roar.
"Whew. The wolves also roared softly, and the roar was so low that it would not be noticed by the snow-capped giants on the snowy mountain.
Silver Axe St. Louis and the others looked at each other, everyone didn't know if this was a signal to start a war, or something else, Mary Nicki still looked at Garret, and Nicki didn't have the slightest intention of retreating.
Garrett took a step forward and came to Nicky, everyone was nervous to the extreme, Garrett opened his mouth and put his head towards Nicky, the hand of the silver axe held the handle of his battle axe, but he knew that if Garrett wanted to kill Nicky, there was nothing he could do.
Garrett licked Mary Nicky's cheek, it just licked Nicky's cheek, Nicki Yuan opened her big eyes, looking at Garret, Garrett turned around, a few steps, and disappeared on the snowy mountain, and the rest of the wolves, also with Garrett left, the snowy mountain returned to tranquility again, Silver Axe and others stood in place in shock, not knowing what to do.
"Alright, my lord, we're going to get on. Mary Nicki turned and smiled at Silver Axe St. Louis and the others. Silver Axe and the others also laughed, and the feeling of depression just now was swept away, and everyone collected their mood and continued to hurry.
"Don't you really want to wipe your face? That disgusting saliva still seems to be hanging on your white fluffy cheeks. ”
Raymond looked at Mary Nicki with disgust, and Nicki seemed to have a little drool on her cheeks.
Nicki smiled at Raymond and shook her head, she knew that this was a gesture of kindness on the part of Garret, and it would be too disrespectful to Garrett if she wiped the saliva.
Silveraxe St. Louis looked at Mary Nicki as he hurried, and he felt even more admiration for this little rabbit spirit, not only because of her intelligence, but also because of her supreme charm.
"Ahh
"Hehe, the legend is always like this, and the more it spreads, the more outrageous it becomes. Mary Nicki smiled.
"Garrett does appear in many stories, but there are certainly many stories that are exaggerated, such as the Weeping Countess of Evel, the Death Knell Tower Necrons, and so on, all of which are exaggerated. Garrett's story first appeared about eighty years ago, the lifespan of the ice wolf is about sixty years, Garrett should belong to the ice wolf with outstanding physique, or it is due to some reason that it ages slowly, but it is definitely not a monster like a demon as the legend. The intelligence of the Icewolf is already very high, and Garrett is definitely the highest among them, even higher than many humanoids, such as humans, such as us spirits. ”
Mary Nicki replied softly.
Javier didn't seem to be very satisfied with Marie Nicki's answer, he still thought that Garrett was at least a demigod-level legendary creature, maybe Garrett was really hundreds of years old, at least Javier thought.
The more you climb to the top of the snow-capped mountains, the thicker the snow becomes, the more difficult the road becomes, and everyone has a feeling of hunger and their mouths are dry.
In desperation, Silver Axe St. Louis asked everyone to take a short break, everyone can drink a little wine to warm up, eat some dry food to replenish energy, but the rest must be short, after all, time is urgent, and this is already the territory of the snow-capped mountain giant, the longer the rest, the closer the danger is to everyone.
One of the guards of the silver axe, took a sip of wine, and was satisfied with a wine burp, wine, always the dwarves' favorite thing, at this time, the silver axe has ordered everyone to gather, the rest time is indeed too short, but everyone has no complaints, after all, the danger is around everyone, everyone understands.
The guard put away the flask and was about to walk over with the others, when suddenly! He felt a great pain in his neck, and before he could continue to think about anything, his neck was broken.
"Snow Mountain Giant!" I don't know who shouted, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
"Hold it all for me!" roared Silver Axe St. Louis.
At the same time, several Snow Mountain Giants walked out from the end of the mountain range, their size was extremely huge, they really deserved to be the largest group of the Giant Clan, Silver Axe and the others seemed to have entered the gathering place of Snow Mountain Giants.
"Drink!"
The snow-capped mountain giant who had just broken the silver axe's guard, still carrying the poor guard with one hand, suddenly slapped his chest with the other hand, and roared angrily, and rushed towards the silver axe and the others......
