In the midst of the wind and snow, Rhodes and his party came to Dulong City, which is located north of Kislev. This is also the only supply point out of the north. Rhodes had heard that after the disbandment of the Great Wall Sentinels, some of them had wandered the northern steppes with sporadic nomadic activities, but it was almost impossible to find them in the vast wasteland.

Therefore, Dulong City, which has a relatively fixed location, has become the only supply point in the north. When they arrived in Dulong City, the group was already exhausted and physically weak. Only Rod still maintains his abundant physical strength, all thanks to the armor of Ersun, which Rod knows is another divine gift from the bear god Ersun.

After entering Dulong City, the dwarves once again treated the Lord of Black Hammer as a distinguished guest. This time, it's not just the Ice Pepper trade, but also that Rhodes fought against the dwarves' sworn enemy, the Greenskins, and killed hundreds of them. This is something to be excited about for the dwarves. Although the number of greenskins is still in the thousands, Rhodes's efforts are obvious to all.

The dwarves placed Rhodes in the best inns, luxurious private rooms...... Of course, these stone holes carved out of the rock face were the same for Rhodes...... The bed is so small that you can only sleep in a curled up, but it is much better than sleeping in the suburbs. Not only did this remind Rhodes of the underground hot springs of Blackhammer Castle, after a long journey, and now he just wanted to take a good bath. Caroline, too, was embarrassed.

"Rod, thank the gods, you're still alive!"

After settling in briefly, Edmund and his party rushed over. After meeting his old friend, Edmund's face flashed with irrepressible excitement. But at the same time, he also saw the layers of scars on Rhodes' face, although there was no trace of exhaustion on the White Bear Lord's face, but the others looked tired.

"Thank you, the gods......" Rhodes smiled and hugged his old friend, Edmund had always been on his side from the Erengrad rebellion to the present. Whether it was when the Norscans invaded or when Ironhide led the orcs north, Edmund and his Wall guards were the first to arrive.

"Where's Ironhide? Did he and the Troll King fight each other? And why are you the only ones left? What about the others? I remember there were fifty or so warriors with you when we separated......"

Edmund had too many questions, however, from the looks on the faces of Yeskovic and Sibes, Edmund had already guessed the answer.

"They are all buried on the snowy mountains. Rod replied in a heavy and serious manner, "However, we have completed our mission. ”

"The Troll King is entangled with Ironskin?"

Edmund asked. Such a sacrifice was made, and this is the only purpose.

"Yes, when we came down, the greenskins were still in the cave. ”

Rod replied.

"Let the wind and blizzard bury them!"

Bogur said angrily.

"I hope so. "But we didn't get chased by the Greenskins along the way." The Trolls are extremely survivable, and I guess they'll spend days and nights in that cave as long as Ironhide doesn't find its weakness. ”

"Either way, the plan worked. The North is saved, and that's good news. ”

Edmund said. Think

"Tell me about you, what happened to you after we parted? I remember that Giger took more than a few of you. ”

Rod asked.

As they walked, they came to the Dwarven Bar, which was quiet due to working hours. The sparse dwarves sat in their seats, sipping beers and taking a nap.

"Yes, it's not just us. But we're in a similar story to you......" Edmund said, picking up the cold beer on the table and taking a sip.

"On the way down, we met a large army of greenskins, and the goblins spotted us. Then the wolf knights and orcs rushed over. Giger and I fought with the greenskins with our respective troops, and soon, the scene was chaotic, I broke through with my troops, and I also saw Jiger break through with his own people, but there were too many greenskins, and soon we separated, and later, I led my team to successfully break through, however, there was an avalanche on the mountain......"

Edmund paused and continued—

"Those green skins that are still halfway up the mountain are definitely buried alive, and Jiger still has many northern warriors, if they don't have time to run away, it is estimated that they will be more than lucky. There were still a lot of greenskins chasing us after the avalanche, so I couldn't go back and check it out. Hundreds of thousands of green-skinned orcs and goblins almost fill the Troll Mountains, and the Snow Mountains will bury them! ”

"Alas......"

After listening to Edmund's description, Rod sighed deeply. In order to lure away the iron sheet, the north has paid too much. These people who go deep into the north and dare to step into the Troll Mountains are the best warriors in the north. There were hundreds of people when they set out, and now only a handful of people return. On his side, only the last six people remained, and on Edmund's side, only two dozen people escaped alive. Rod didn't expect how many people from Jiger's side would escape alive, but he just hoped that he would quickly return to Black Hammer Castle and organize a strategic alliance, and there was no news from Iron Hide for the time being, but it didn't mean that he really died in the Troll King's cave, according to Iron Skin's combat power, Rod estimated that it was the Troll King who died in the end. It's just a matter of time.

......

Outside Marienburg, slave market.

Elleria had no idea how she had been captured and appeared in this place. In my memory, I was still in the inn room in the city the night before. She ate a little hot food and drank a little wine, because it helped her sleep. After that, I lost my memory. From the hotel room here, I didn't have the slightest impression of myself. There is no doubt that it was a kidnapping, and someone drugged themselves with alcohol to stun themselves.

There is a problem with the people in the hostel!

Thinking of this, Aryria couldn't help but grit her teeth. She had long heard that Marienburg was an unclean place, and that with extreme prosperity came extreme darkness and corruption. Legend has it that Marienburg had the most developed service industry, as well as the largest slave market, and some low-cost inns would have black-hearted merchants who would wait until the travelers fell asleep to quietly stun them, cut off their organs and sell them to various underground alchemy chambers or other places.

Some children are kidnapped and sold to wealthy families as domestic servants. Pretty girls were bred and used as playthings for the aristocracy...... All the darkness of Aryria was just hearsay, but now it seems to be the truth. She can only hate herself for not being well prepared, but many times, she is really unable to prevent it.

Nowadays, it is useless to regret it. She could only calm down first and observe her surroundings.

It was surrounded by cold walls on all sides, with only a small window providing the only light source for the entire room. There is no doubt that this is a dungeon. Moreover, all his belongings were confiscated, and his weapons were taken from them.

The Bow of the Remnant was given to him by his father when he was an adult, and the Dagger of Esley was given to him by his brother. Those two weapons were treasures to Eleria. Now that she has been taken away by such shoddy means, Aryria secretly swears in her heart that if she can get out, she will definitely stab the lowly villain who took away her weapon and drugged herself.

Imprisoned here was a human, a human woman who appeared to be in her early twenties. It's just that she came here before Aryria, and now she has been tortured to the point that she is not human.
