The cold howled over the ice fields, rolling up the frost and snow on the ground, and countless hailstones fell from the gloomy sky, smashing against the leather armor with a crackling sound.

The mercenary Rowley took out his favorite silver flask from his warm bosom, unscrewed the lid with his almost frozen hand, and poured it into his blue lips.

The liquor flowed down his throat and into his stomach, ** bringing a spicy warmth, and he exhaled a long breath and carefully closed the lid and put it back in his arms.

Rubbing his numb hands together and regaining his grip on the reins, the mercenary turned back and shouted, "We need to speed up, I don't want to camp in this damn place after dark!"

Behind him was a long procession of transports, two hundred barbarian warriors protecting four hundred and seventy snow camels, loaded with food, arrows, and other baggage, to the city of Valen, more than two hundred miles away, to supply the army there.

This section of the road is not easy to walk, the cold climate and thick snow in the far north are the biggest obstacles, and there is no horse-drawn carriage on the snow at all, and the snow camel becomes the only means of transportation.

Under normal circumstances, it would take them about five days to complete a trip, during which they would have to rest overnight in Hailan.

The mercenary Rollai is the commander of this convoy and the only samurai, of course, he is not a barbarian, and his home is in the Terran empire of Farea.

The Farea's Empire has always been the strongest supporter of the Far North Barbarians, because Farea, which is adjacent to the Kingdom of Bimon, has never ceased to fear the invasion of the Orcs.

Therefore, the empire spared no effort to support the barbarians of the far north, leaving the kingdom of Beamon with no time to take care of it, although Farea had to pay a lot of manpower and force for this every year, but hundreds of years of peace and tranquility seemed to prove the right strategy.

And this also gives a mercenary like Rolley a chance.

In the elite Fareah Empire, a low-level warrior with limited talent like Luo Lai is basically difficult to get out of the army, and the salary is not very high, and it is not easy to get a good task as a free reading mercenary.

If you are just willing to eat and drink enough and spend a little money, it may be a good choice to take refuge in a small aristocrat or businessman, but it is destined to be a lifetime of inaction.

None of this is what Rollai wants, his family has exhausted almost all of its financial resources in order for him to become a samurai, and now is the time when Rollai needs to reciprocate.

So he responded to the call of the empire without hesitation and went north as a mercenary to participate in the war between the beasts and barbarians.

Although the environment of the Arctic Ice Sheet is harsh and the conditions are difficult, and it is even more dangerous to join the war, the generous reward makes Rolley grit his teeth and persevere.

Of course, as a warrior of the human race, he can have a position in the barbarian army that he cannot enjoy in the Farea Empire, and this baggage team of two hundred people is completely under his command, and he can get a lot of oil and water with a little bit of hands and feet.

He swore in his heart that he would rather farm in the countryside than drink the northwest wind here, and let the barbarians and orcs go to hell with it!

The camel caravan struggled through the wind and hail, and after a long trek, they finally saw the snow mounds and buildings that appeared on the ice fields in the distance.

Ahead is Hailan Ji!

Luo Lai couldn't help but smile, although the conditions of this ruined town were terrible, but it was finally a place that could shelter from the wind and snow, at least much better than sleeping on the ice field.

At least there he had a warm room to rest in, and hot broth and bread for dinner.

"Guys, look, we're at Hailanji!"

The barbarian warriors cheered in unison, and although they had long since adapted to the conditions of the ice fields, the long haul of the baggage was still a chore, and the two-day trek was exhausting, and only the transit point ahead could be a good night's rest.

They quickened their pace, and Hailanji got closer and closer, and they could see the snow-covered houses.

And the Frost Giants that stand proudly in it.

Although he had seen it many times, seeing the war puppet more than 20 feet tall, Luo Lai's heart was still full of amazement and security.

With such a big guy guarding Hailanji, he can put down his responsibilities at night and get a good night's sleep, and nourish his energy to deal with the relatively dangerous itinerary of the next two days.

Riding a snow camel, he was the first to step into the Hailan set.

The mercenary immediately felt a little strange, and found that today's Hailanji was very different from usual.

The barbarian warriors guarding the concentration in Hailan did not line up to welcome them, they seemed to have disappeared without a trace, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.

Could it be that something is wrong here?, Rolley thought subconsciously.

However, he didn't have much to worry about, there was nothing to fear if the Frost Giants were stationed here, unless it was under heavy attack from the enemy.

"Where have you all gone?" he shouted at the Frost Giant, "What's going on here?"

The Frost Giant heard his voice and slowly turned around and took a big step forward.

The next moment, something happened that completely surprised Rowlai.

The Frost Giant raised his weapon and swung his arm at him!

How could this be? The mercenary suddenly fell into an ice cave, his whole mind was frozen by the cold fear of death, and his mind went blank as he looked at the huge mace that had been swung off.

I'm not your enemy!

Under the pressure of the fierce wind, Luo Lai opened his mouth wide and wanted to defend loudly, but before his words could rush out of his throat, the mace had already smashed the top of his head!

Boom!

The iron weapon, which weighed nearly a thousand pounds, smashed the hapless mercenary and the snow camel under his crotch directly into meat sauce, and the broken flesh and blood flew everywhere, and he didn't even have a chance to dodge.

At the same time that the mercenary Luo Lai was killed on the spot, the originally calm Hailanji seemed to suddenly set off a storm, and a famous archer appeared from the ruins.

They drew their longbows, and sharp arrows pointed at the bewildered barbarians!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Arrows rained down, and within a short distance of only a few dozen paces, the barbarian warriors who were not prepared had no time to dodge, and one by one screamed or fell off the back of the snow camel, or fell directly on the snow.

The red blood quickly stained the white earth, the strong bloody smell was permeated, the dying screams and the neighing of snow camels were intertwined, and the baggage convoy that had just stepped into Hailanji suddenly fell into chaos.

The lurkers had been planning for a long time, and it was only the first wave of attacks, and more than half of the two hundred barbarian warriors who guarded the barbarians were killed.

The few barbarians who were lucky enough to escape the attack drew their weapons and roared angrily to launch a counterattack, but the frost giants on the side smashed them one by one, smashing the two warriors directly out!

Great Titan, what the hell is going on?The surviving barbarian warriors almost collapsed on the spot, unable to understand why their proud war puppets would help their enemies.

The barbarians believe that the Frost Giants are artifacts given to them by the Titan gods, so the Frost Giants are not just war puppets for them, but also a totem and spiritual pillar in their hearts.

The Barbarians believed that as long as the Frost Giants existed, their race would thrive on the ice fields.

For thousands of years, the Giant Barbarian has been at the forefront of warfare with the Frost Giant, which can be destroyed and captured by the enemy, but has never mutined or been used by the enemy.

So the barbarians didn't believe the facts before them at all, and when the frost giant's mace fell, they even stood motionless, their eyes full of despair and incredulity.

And the Frost Giants were not deterred by their helplessness, stomping one warrior with one foot and smashing another to death with a stick, mercilessly reaping life.

"Kill!"

Hundreds of warriors rushed out from behind the archers and pounced on the remnants of the enemy like wolves.

In just a few minutes, the barbarian warriors were completely lost, and only a few lost souls were captured on the spot.

Click!

The Frost Giant, who had stopped killing, knelt down on one knee and raised his breastplate with his left hand, and Leon, who was holding the war puppet inside, jumped down and landed firmly on the ground.

"Boss!"

Rock Hammer rushed over from the side, with a look of excitement on his face: "It's all done, five prisoners were captured alive, and the rest were all killed, and none of us were injured!"

Wipe out all the enemies, and not a single one of them will be damaged!" Leon nodded and was satisfied.

This result is very normal, he captured Hailanji here and waited for the rabbit, waiting for the barbarians' baggage team to come to the door, and now he really caught a big rabbit sent to the door.

Nine hundred thunder beast warriors plus a war puppet, with a heart against the unprepared, if you can't win a complete victory under a sneak attack, it is a strange thing to take down an enemy baggage team.

"Let's clean up the battlefield, cut off all the corpses and bury them, and hurry up to ask for a confession!" Leon ordered: "We'll wait here for two more days!"

Rock Hammer nodded, and immediately commanded the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

According to the information previously obtained, in addition to this transport baggage team, there should be an empty cargo team returning from Valen City in the past two days, which is also a fat target.

Leon's gaze couldn't help but fall on the almost intact snow camels, these hundreds of snow camels not only brought a lot of supplies, but more importantly, they themselves were very useful to the thunder beast brigade.

I believe that it won't take long for all the Thunder Beast warriors to be paired with a snow camel, then their speed of action will be greatly improved.

Leon turned his head to look north, where, a hundred miles away, was what he really wanted to plunder.

Linsk, an important port used by the Faria Empire to support the barbarians!
