"Wolf Mountain?"

Sean and Helen glanced at each other and said in surprise, "That wolf mountain at the northernmost end of the Sunset Mountains?"

Kevin nodded, "That's right, there it is." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Sean hesitated, but still asked, "Lord Kevin......"

Kevin waved his hand: "Sean, I think we're about the same age, don't be so polite to me, just call me Kevin." ”

"Well, Kevin, did you offend someone in the church that sent you to be a bishop in that dangerous place?"

The Wolf Mountain region is a large area in the northeastern part of the empire, named after the steep and treacherous Wolf Mountain, at the foot of which there are four large towns, from north to south: Eternal Winter, Wolf Heart, Dawn, and Grey Castle. These four towns form the main body of the Wolf Mountain area, so they are also known as the Four Towns of Wolf Mountain.

The land of the four towns of Wolf Mountain is generally relatively fertile, the population is also quite large, and there are several high-quality iron mines and a gem mine, and the natural resources are extremely rich, so it should be regarded as a very good area, but Sean once heard an old pastor say that many pastors in the church would rather give up the opportunity to be promoted to bishop than go to the four towns of Wolf Mountain to be the bishop of the town, and many town bishops would rather offend the pope and find various reasons not to be priests in the diocese of Wolf Mountain.

There is only one reason, there is the front line.

A frontline in the fight against terrifying half-giant marauders.

Taller than ordinary humans, these brutal and brutal creatures are said to have the blood of giants who have been extinct for thousands of years, and have been a great problem for dwarves and humans living on both sides of the cold-blooded wasteland since they appeared on a large scale in the cold-blooded wastelands of the north.

However, the dwarves have the Thor Mountains to rely on, and the lava fortress stands in danger, which is both a majestic pass and a moat, so that the half-giants who lack siege means have nothing to do.

But humanity was not so lucky.

From the cold-blooded wasteland to the south, there is almost no danger to defend, and there are many rivers and lakes, and teams of half-giant marauders can go south along the river in specially made beast-faced pulp sailing boats to reach the hinterland of the human kingdom to burn and plunder.

Moreover, in the era when the half-giants had just risen, the human world was still a scattered sand where many small kingdoms coexisted, and many kings would let the half-giants wreak havoc in neighboring countries as long as they could protect themselves, and even colluded with the half-giants to harm other countries for the sake of profit.

It wasn't until the birth of Duke Ivan Griffin more than 400 years ago that the situation of human beings being beaten was fundamentally reversed.

He led his invincible Knights of the Wind on a quest to dominate the human world, subdued the elves in a series of bloody battles on the banks of the Angron, and then marched into the cold-blooded wasteland with a treacherous climate, slaughtering all the tribes of the Half-Giants in front of him, and achieving the first major victory of a human army in a head-to-head confrontation with the Half-Giant Marauders.

After being crowned Emperor of the Holy Griffin Empire, Ivan the Great established a number of fortresses in the northern part of the empire in order to prevent the resurgence of the remnants of the half-giants who had fled to the depths of the cold-blooded wasteland, and divided them into garrisons and garrisons for his knights with outstanding military achievements, and the Four Towns of Wolf Mountain were established during that period. He then ordered the construction of fortifications on both sides of important rivers, and even blocked parts of the river with iron cables to prevent the half-giant fleet from moving south.

This series of iron-fisted measures did eliminate the threat of the half-giants to the human empire to a large extent, but now, more than 400 years later, the invincible Knights of the Wind have completely disappeared in the long river of history, leaving only the monotonous and cold records in the royal archives, and the iron cables across the river have long become the decaying sediment at the bottom of the river, and the fortresses on both sides of the river are gradually covered by vines climbing the walls and wild grass everywhere.

The Empire's military depletion in the north gave the long-dormant demigiants a chance to re-emerge, and raiding fleets full of warriors and wizards once again appeared in the northern border guarded by the Snow Wolf Duke for generations, and the number and scale became larger and larger, and now it has evolved into several demigiant tribes uniting to carry out large-scale land invasion of the Empire. The main meeting place between the two sides is the Wolf Mountain area, which has a very unique geographical location.

Because this area is too far north.

In a sense, Wolf Mountain is also part of the northern foothills of the Sunset Mountains, and the four towns of Wolf Mountain that have been built around it are like a bulge on the border of the Empire, breaking along the extension of the Sunset Mountains and Wolf Mountain all the way to the southeast corner of the Cold-Blooded Wasteland.

If the half-giant marauders who had gathered in the depths of the cold-blooded wasteland wanted to attack the territory of the Human Empire, the Wolf Mountain area was undoubtedly the closest place to march, and with the abundant population and abundant natural resources of the four towns of Wolf Mountain, it was simply an excellent place to raid.

When the empire's strength was in full swing, the lords and lords of the Wolf Mountain region not only had plenty of troops themselves, but they could also support the elite knights of the empire stationed in the local area, even if the half-giants often attacked, they could completely cope with it.

But in recent years, the treasury has been empty, the armament has been slack, and the knights sent by the emperor have long been "invited" back to the imperial capital by the local nobles of Wolf Mountain, who are full of complaints, to eat the imperial grain, and the armed forces of these nobles themselves are scattered, and the number of people has also decreased sharply, compared with the combat effectiveness of the Ivan the Great period.

As a result, the four towns of Wolf Mountain have been attacked and breached by large-scale half-giant invasions many times, and after burning, killing and looting, they are either recaptured by the army that the empire has rushed to reinforce them, or the invaders who have robbed them to their satisfaction retreat on their own, no matter what, leaving these four towns with devastation and unspeakable sadness.

The castle of the lords was looted, the church of the Father of All Gods was destroyed by fire, the ordinary houses were demolished into a pile of rubble, two counts who had been divided here in the past hundred years were killed in battle, seven barons were killed in battle, the priests and priests sent by the pope were killed and wounded even more heavily, and an old priest was even skinned alive after being captured due to the fact that he injured the other chieftain with a burst of sunfire.

It is not difficult to understand why many priests who are expected to advance in the title and even Si Zhen would rather risk offending the higher echelons of the church and do everything possible not to allow himself to be appointed to the diocese of Wolf Mountain.

Because it's too dangerous.

That's why Sean thinks that the bishop in front of him was personally appointed as a priest by the Pope at a young age, and this kind of genius-level figure should be the object of the church's focus on training and protection, but instead he was assigned to such a dangerous and even precarious Wolf Mountain Diocese, which is undoubtedly offending people, or that there are other people in the church who are jealous of his young ambition and secretly obstruct behind his back.

Thinking about this, Sean couldn't help but be very worried about the fate that Kevin was about to face.

As a result, Kevin smiled slightly, shook his head and said:

"No, I strongly requested to go. ”
