Chapter 001: The Remnants of the Army Defeated
The enraged wolf bared more than ten centimeters of fangs, and disgusting mucus dripped from his bloody mouth, dripping drop by drop on Kenny's face, Kenny used the last of his strength to clutch the wolf's head, as if he was not grabbing the wolf's head, but the last straw.

Kenny's arm began to go numb as he stared at his prey with blood-red eyes and a low 'woo' sound from his chest, and if he had a choice, he would rather stay with Mike in Eagle Valley Heights and make a last-ditch fight against the Peace Army.
The wolf twisted his head frantically, trying to break away from Kenny's hand holding the mane, and when he died, an arrow shot from the top of his head straight into the wolf's left eye, and at the moment when the wolf closed his bloody mouth, Kenny pulled out the dagger on his waist and pierced it into the wolf's right eye, then got up and picked up the black steel sword and stabbed it into the wolf's chest, he used the last bit of strength in his body, pulled the sword horizontally and slashed the wolf's belly, the wolf fluttered on the ground a few times, his eyes looked at Kenny fiercely, and he no longer struggled.
Kenny braced himself up with his ebony steel sword and saw the rest of the wolves scatter from the battlefield. The soldiers on the battlefield raised their weapons and raised their arms and cheered, this hard-won victory was too difficult, but it was a pity that they were not cheering for the victory of the Peace Army.
Kenny's mind suddenly remembered the arrow at the critical moment, and when he looked around, he found that there was no one but the soldier, and his heart was filled with doubts.
The soldiers spent half a day burying the bodies of the fallen soldiers, and Kenny wielded a black steel sword to cut off the head of the giant wolf that looked like the wolf king, and tied it to the side of the saddle to pay tribute to the fallen soldiers.
The day was fleeting, but it was doubly torturous for Kenny, who prayed in his heart countless times, 'My god Namu, please bring my brother Mike back to me safe and sound, and I will exchange my blood for him'.
However, countless pious prayers did not pay off the gods, and Kenny, dragging his tired body, led the remaining soldiers and refugees to the North City Bridge.
Beicheng Bridge is the only bridge leading to the outside of the Yingshui River Basin, has a history of 200 years, this bridge is built in the early days of the Marshall family's rule in order to expand the territory, every year the Marshall family will select elite troops to explore the unknown territory, but the troops sent have never returned, so on the map of the first continent, only the map south of the Yingshui River is drawn, and the situation outside the country, no one knows.
Kenny and his party fed on raw wolf meat all day long after leaving Half Moon Rock, and the further north the wind and snow grew, a large number of refugees and soldiers began to fall ill.
In fact, everyone understands in their hearts that maybe after crossing the Beicheng Bridge is the free world, but it is more likely that what awaits them is the death of the unknown world outside the country, if there is hope for survival there, it is impossible for those elite soldiers who have gone to explore the outer lands for two hundred years not to come back.
They crossed the Side Mountains and headed west into the small town of Calf, where the arrival of refugees and soldiers alarmed the populace, who exchanged the remaining wolf meat for some bread and goat's milk, and rested in the rocky hills not far from the town.
As night approaches, Kenny can't open his eyes as the snow blows, the parchment map makes a 'whirring' sound, and with the faint moonlight, Kenny and the soldiers analyze the terrain in the snow.
There were only two paths before them, one of which was to go west through the dense red oak forest, where three hundred miles of uninhabited land and where experienced hunters often got lost.
The second is to climb north over the Dragon Peak in the Side Mountains, the Dragon Peak at an altitude of 10,000 meters is the highest peak in the Side Mountains, the mountain peaks are steep and covered with snow all year round, and no one has crossed them so far, not to mention that Kenny's team is a group of defeated soldiers and refugees, the second path is almost impossible, unless the god Namu appears, but Kenny has just prayed for Mike, that is his most pious, it is obvious that the god Namu has not appeared, maybe she went to play bridge with Enki (the god of water).
"Lord, I'm back. Kenny's pro-soldier Marven patted the snow off his body.
"I visited all the experienced hunters in the town, and no one wanted to accompany us to the Red Oak Forest, where they said there were lions during the day, tigers at night, and if you were unlucky, you would run into a poisonous mist. Everyone said that there was almost no difference between letting them go there and going abroad, and the ending was the same anyway. ”
"It stands to reason that this is the border of the First Continent, and people are used to being free, and there are butter breads and goat's milk wine, cherry pies, brothels and taverns, and I certainly wouldn't go with you. Nina said from the side.
"Regardless of whether there are hunters with us or not, we must pass through the Red Oak Forest, that is the only way for us to cross the Beicheng Bridge, because we will definitely not be able to cross the Dragon Peak, and if we go west around the west side of the Red Oak Forest, we will definitely encounter the Peace Army. Kenny kept rubbing snow water from the snow on his beard, and it was clear that he cared about his beard.
"Okay, let's decide, Marven, pass the order, everyone except the soldiers on the sentry tonight have a good rest, and we will leave early tomorrow morning. ”
"Yes, my lord. ”
The moonlight shines brightly in the snow, and the Side Mountains loom like a sleeping dragon in the distance, and the dragon peak stands proudly on the top of the north like a dragon's head. The midnight bells in Calf town reminded him of the characteristic smell of buttery bread as Kenny tossed and turned in the snow.
As soon as he fell asleep, Kenny was startled by Marven's voice.
"My lord, no, it's not good, and, the Peace Army is here!"
"What?!"
Kenny got up anxiously, and Nina woke up in a panic, and the nearby town of Calf was lit up like daylight, and the fleeing refugees fled westward.
"Order all the soldiers not to panic, the Infantry Guards are ready to defend against the Peace, and the Guards escort the refugees to the Red Oak Grove!" Kenny ordered the Guards beside him.
Kenny took the reins from Marven's hand, "Nina, you retreat with the Guards and the refugees towards the Red Oak Forest. Then he turned to Marven and said, "I handed over my wife to you." ”
"No, my lord, I am your last shield!" Marven unexpectedly did not take the reins.
"I'll be where you are!" Nina grabbed Kenny's wolf-blooded silver armor hard.
"It's an order!" Kenny interrupted Marven and pushed Nina's hand away to help her onto the horse.
Watching his wife's back fade into the fire, Kenny pulls out his black steel sword and rushes into battle.
The Knights of Karta, who shook the First Continent and made the enemy shudder, may be buried in this nameless place today, but fortunately, it is better to die at the hands of the enemy than in the wolves, Kenny reassured himself.
