"The current situation is that the Black Orc Grimg Iron is rushing here with a large amount of green skin. And what we have to do is to continue on our way, leading them away, leading them to the Troll Mountain Range, to the Troll King's lair. It's a life-and-death task. ”

The news of Cyril's death soon passed, and when the threat of the Greenskins was imminent, there was little time for the heirs of the Overwatch Castle, and with Rod's acquiescence, Trannie had already set about putting her young son Bradley on the throne. In fact, he has already been raised to the position of lord.

As soon as the new lord ascended the throne, he immediately ushered in a great meeting related to the life and death of the north. Rhodes presided over the meeting, and everyone listened quietly below. Participants included other lords of the North, knights, infantry chiefs, captains of the Ugor cavalry, captains of the Dwarven Guard, high-ranking members of the Order of the Sons of Ersun, and more.

So far, the White Bear Lord has become the core of the entire North. There is almost no objection to this, not only because of Rod's strong personal combat strength, but also because Black Hammer Fort has become the most prosperous and powerful castle in the north after several years of development. At the same time, being able to dispatch more than two thousand troops at once is something that only Blackhammer Fort can do.

"I can only take a few fighters with me. Because, the Troll Mountain Range is an extremely dangerous mountain range. Once we get there, we're going to have to face endless winds and snow and ice. There is no grass there, and food is extremely difficult to obtain. Only the strong can survive there. The large army will struggle there. So, again, we can only gather the most elite and physically fit fighters. ”

Sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows on seven sides, creating a staggered vertical and horizontal projection on the ground. Standing in the center of the hall, Rhodes seemed to be the dominant force in the north. He was the one who started this campaign against the Greenskins, because, except for the White Bear Lord, no one had a way to survive under the Iron Skins.

"Needless to say, Rod, everywhere you go, there's me. I'm going to be with you. And, this time, you need me to lead the way. ”

As soon as Rod finished speaking, Bogur, the butcher, stepped forward with an axe. His sonorous voice echoed through the lost castle. Everyone saw the scars on the dwarves, the ones that had been left by countless births and deaths.

"Of course, of course you have to go. ”

The corners of Rod's mouth raised slightly.

"My family and I guard the last Great Wall in the North, and I will select thirty of the best rangers to join you, Rod. ”

Edmund, Lord of Ice Castle, stood up and spoke.

Rod only nodded gratefully, Edmund had supported Erengrad since he began the rebellion. This time he went north to the Troll Mountains, and he was already on the list in Rod's heart.

"And me! No one is more accustomed to the cold than the dwarves, and if the greenskin destroys my home, I will slaughter him with my own hands for revenge!"

A fat dwarf about the size of Bogur stepped forward, and Grondi was dressed in airtight heavy plate armor from top to bottom. Many people recognized that armor, and in the entire dwarven kingdom, there were very few people who could possess this armor. But once you have it, it's an absolute honor for the dwarves. Yes, that's the Iron Breaker. The absolute elite of the dwarves. Rhodes didn't know how there could be an iron crusher in his knighthood, so he asked Yeskovich to be the chief examiner, and it seems that the shaman will not refuse to come, as long as you have the ability.

"Okay, you join. ”

Rhodes announced.

"My lord, I ......" 228 Literature Network

A familiar voice rang out in the crowd, and before he could finish speaking, Rod loudly rejected him—

"Virgil, you can't go. It's not that you're not good at quality, it's that after I'm gone, you'll have to take over the army of Blackhammer. Assist Lord Bradley in guarding the Watchtower. We can't guarantee that the greenskins won't wreak havoc elsewhere along the way. Fort Grizzly is a living example of this. ”

Being stopped by Rhodes in person, Virgil looked a little lost and depressed, but Rod's words also moved him even more. To be able to gain such trust from the lord, there are few in the entire Black Hammer Fort...... His family has served the Lawne family for hundreds of years, and when his own generation finally ushered in the most glorious moment of Blackhammer Castle. And it's rare that Lord Rhodes still trusts himself so much. Thinking of this, Virgil couldn't help but be enthusiastic.

"Rod, I'm with you. "Years ago, before I came to Blackhammer Keep, I roamed the north, and the Troll Mountains were where I received my Father Bear's training. I'm still familiar with it. ”

Unlike other conscripts, Yeskovich did not have a warm heart, and his tone was so calm. As if it wasn't a challenge for him. Of course, this is indeed the case. Coming from the boreal forest, the shaman had spent the first half of his life in a no-man's-land in the snow and ice, and had long since adapted to the harsh environment. Even after becoming a high priest in Blackhammer Castle, he still maintained a hard life. Go out for a winter swim on a cold morning and run three laps around the city at dusk. The physical fitness is even better than that of the dwarves. Even Rhodes couldn't guarantee what would happen if he went for a winter swim every morning......

"Of course, you're with me. ”

Rod said with a smile.

"Rod, we have had little contact in the past, but during this time, you have shown me hope in the north. For the sake of the future of the North, I am willing to join you. ”

After a moment of silence, Lord of the Hearth, Böltner, stood up and spoke in a serious tone.

Rod nodded at him with the same seriousness.

"How can such a bloody, epic journey be without me? I'm with you, Lord of the White Bear. ”

Wintercastle Lord Giger stood and shouted.

Going to the Troll Mountain Range is a very dangerous task, originally each lord still has his own careful thoughts, wanting to see the performance of others first, if everyone is silent, then, as a local lord, he will not be silent. But now it seems that the situation has changed. At least four lords joined the expedition, making up half of the North. If you don't get up again, you can't talk about it. If this team really succeeds, then those who dare not stand up today will become the laughing stock of people's mouths in the future.

"And me, Lord Rhodes. ”

"And my ......"

Gradually, the scene began to heat up. More and more people raised their hands to sign up for the expedition. Everyone knows that this is a life-or-death action, but under the passionate atmosphere of the scene, it is the men who will unconsciously raise their hands to join the feast.

Even on the lord's throne, the young new owner of Fort Watch, Bradley, was eager to try, and seeing the picture of everyone on the field participating in the battle, the young Bradley could no longer control his inner impulse. However, as soon as he was about to raise his hand, he was stopped by his mother on the side. Trannie squeezed his hand, her eyes full of sternness.

Seeing his mother's demeanor, the young Lord of the Watchcastle, Bradley, sat down honestly. This scene was keenly captured by Rod, but he didn't say anything. Trannie's approach was right, the young lord needed to be trained in the castle, he had to see more, learn more, and counsel less. Because there are many people who want to put him to death, and there are many people who want to arrest him......
