The cold wind howls in the north, and the dark forest is like a natural climate barrier, and the south of the forest is a scene of green and wilderness, and the north of the forest is covered with snow all year round. In addition to the tundra, there is wasteland. Even pasture is scarce. Fortunately, everyone has been mentally prepared for this.

For this force, the only supply depot north of the border is Dulong City. But in order not to cause trouble for the dwarves, Rhodes chose to have his troops bypass Dulong City and go directly to the Troll Mountains. You know, if you let Iron Hide know that there is a large dwarven fortress like Dulong City in the north, otherwise, the war is likely to burn directly to the dwarf's hometown. This is what Rhodes does not want to see, and he cannot do so.

Finally, half a month later, under the leadership of the dwarf Bogur, everyone came to the legendary Troll Mountain Range. If there are people who have set foot in the north of the Dark Forest, then the Troll Mountains are undoubtedly a forbidden place for humans. Few people in the team had actually gone in.

Those adventurers, who go in, rarely come out again. The endless snow-capped mountains stood in front of them, and everyone couldn't help frowning, looking at the stretching mountains, helpless. Only Bogur, Caroline, and Rod's best friend, Ursock the Giant, were excited.

For Bogur, the butcher, he is one step closer to revenge. For the white bear, this was originally its home...... And for Caroline, the colder the climate, the more it lifts her spirits. Even if he didn't know magic, Rhodes could feel the strength of his wife growing every day. It's like she's in the Frost Witch's advanced trials.

However, under normal circumstances, if a Frost Witch decides to advance, she will travel alone to the northern frigid lands to study the true meaning of ice magic, and the witch will usually remain chaste for the rest of her life. But Caroline is different in that she didn't plan to advance, she thought that her talent was there, and it was impossible to continue to develop and improve, so she gave her chastity to Rod. But she never thought that the changes in magic power were unconsciously going on in her body......

"Distribute all the food, and from today onwards, we are going to plan to eat. Because, once we enter the snowy mountains, we have no food source. ”

Standing at the foot of the snowy mountain, Rhodes turned around and spoke to everyone.

The heaviness is palpable. Some people have frostbite and really don't know what to do when they enter the snowy mountains.

......

The wind raged through the canyon, roaring like a giant, echoing in everyone's ears. There are no four seasons here, because there are no four seasons here, and the only season is winter......

The oncoming snowflakes are getting denser and colder. The mist lingers in the mountains, completely obscuring the upper half of the mountains. The roads in the canyon are getting narrower and steeper. The dwarves are physically okay, but many northern warriors are too tired to do so. It was not the greenskins that defeated them, but the harsh and cruel natural environment.

More than half of the day, boulders shade the sun, men and horses move in the shadows, breath frost in the air. The dwarf's beard solidified together, turning into a mixture of ice slag and beard. Rhodes knew that these knights in the army might all become warriors in ten days and half a month...... Because in a situation of food scarcity, horses are the only thing that can be food. Although knights don't eat war horses, but when that time comes, not to mention war horses, corpses will be eaten......

The road became narrower and narrower, and when it reached the position halfway up the mountain, it could only accommodate one person, and the war horse neighed uneasily, not wanting to continue up the mountain, and there was no grass on the snowy mountain. If you go up, you will enter the ghost gate. The warriors desperately pulled the reins to barely drag their horses onto the road.

The white bear followed Rhodes, looking left and right from time to time, as if he had spotted some danger lurking in the white snow. Dream life

"Hey, buddy, what the hell did you find?"

Rod stroked the white bear with his large iron hand, but still couldn't calm its alert nerves. The white bear ran forward with a snort, overlooking the entire snow-capped mountain from the top of the highest mountain. A pair of blood-red eyes stared at a group of huge creatures moving halfway up the mountain.

When Rhodes and Bogur ran up the hill out of breath, they saw a herd of hulking rhinos migrating halfway up the hill.

"Woolly rhinoceros!"

Bogur narrowed his eyes and said.

Although it was the first time he had seen such creatures, Rhodes was no stranger to them. Yeskovich once told himself that the woolly rhinoceros is one of the few large animals in the mountains, and the probability of encountering them is extremely low, and if you do, the best thing to do is to avoid them as much as possible. These behemoths weighed more than a heavy wagon, and when charged, they could even knock down ordinary earthen walls. Although they are herbivores, they are furnished by nature, and whenever something gets in their way, they will not take a detour, but will rush over these obstacles at all costs. Herds of woolly rhinos moving together are a nightmare for hunters. Because its rough and thick fur can even block the penetration of ordinary arrows.

"How about going down? Would you like to go down and kill one for dinner tonight?"

Bogur was eager to try, while Rhodes frowned. Because he is not acting alone, he is leading the most elite troops in the north, and they are the future of the north. Whatever you make must be cautious and careful. Reason triumphs over impulse. Rhodes simply stopped the advance of the large army and let the woolly rhinoceros pass first.

After all, they will attack when they smell anything that is not of their own kind.

Although these guys have poor eyesight, their sense of hearing and smell is a hundred times more sensitive than that of humans. The goal of entering the Troll Mountain this time is to lure Ironhide to the Troll King's lair, which is the main mission, and the others are secondary. The troops cannot be allowed to take this risk. Although they will be rewarded with valuable meat after hunting them, no one can guarantee that the soldiers will not be crushed into meat by this herd of woolly rhinos...... After all, apart from Bogur and Yeskovich, there was no third person in the team who had experience in hunting woolly rhinos.

Rhodes knew that if Ironhide led a team to pass by, he would definitely not hesitate to slaughter these creatures. In the same way, the indomitable woolly rhinoceros will do everything in its power to ram the greenskin. There's definitely a great battle between them. But the number of greenskins allows them to take such risks.

"What the hell is going on up ahead?"

Giger, the lord of Wintercastle, panted up from the trail and questioned Rod. It's not a good thing to stop in the freezing climate, and the soldiers will freeze because of it.

"The woolly rhinoceros is going to pass by, and we have to wait for them to pass before we move on. ”

Rhodes said, pointing to the moving herd of brown beasts on the hillside.
