Swift winds weave through the trees, ghostly sighs, and the air is filled with the smell of ripe fruit.

Summer in the Black Forest is short, only three months, and within three months the temperature rises, the fruits of various plants will ripen, and the seeds will sprout at this time, that is, the water that falls to the ground during these three months will form rainfall, and will not fall in the form of snowflakes. This is a precious time for the Black Forest to grow and expand, as the recovery of everything brings food and a variety of animals and herds.

A team of nearly 100 people hunted in the forest, and the materials obtained did not even have time to be transported, so they could only be piled up and guarded in the camp. At present, almost everyone in this team has a piece of animal skin, which can not only keep warm at night, but also be used as simple leather armor. Iron armor is still scarce for Rhodes at the moment. However, the situation will soon improve, and as long as Roberts gets that ship back without any problems, Blackhammer will have the funds to purchase enough armor and weapons.

Somewhat tired from the hunt that lasted all day, Rhodes lay down under a large tree to rest and gaze at the sky.

The sky here is completely different from the sky on Earth, with a huge moon and a fascinating Milky Way, and the stars are visible to the naked eye.

As on Earth, the constellations here are divided into constellations by the people of the earth, with the difference in their shapes and names. Rhodes was not sensitive to astronomy, and he couldn't see any special permutations of the stars after looking at them for a long time. However, according to the observation and classification of scholars, the constellations in the sky can be divided into about twenty constellations.

The representatives include the painter's line seat, the old bull, the male dragon, the twilight seat, the drunken sheep seat and so on. The Painter's Sign, from an observational point of view, is a relatively simple constellation, which appears like an archer with a bow and appears in late winter to early spring.

It is said that people born under this sign are mostly strict and self-disciplined and meticulous in their work. If this is the case, people born in this month should really become craftsmen, doctors, lawyers, archers, and the like. However, the reality is that many painters do not become these professionals, but have a variety of jobs. You know, in the Empire and Bretonnia, farmers are the largest population, and although you have the talent for it, you may end up being only one farmer, after all, there are only a few in the big cities, and the job opportunities are very limited.

The constellation Laurus is easy to understand, its astrological signs look like an old cow ploughing the fields, usually in early spring, and those born under this sign are said to have a loyal, honest, and tenacious character. Fit to be a knight and a soldier. Although many people do not agree with it, there is a saying in Bretonnia that the knight will ask about his birth sign when choosing to follow, and if the other party is an old Niu, the knight will take extra care.

The constellation Androsaurus can be said to be a symbol of the strong, this sign does not have a fixed time to appear, it is elusive. On a summer night, when you sit in your wheat field and look up at the starry sky, if you suddenly see many stars lined up in a towering dragon, then congratulations, you have successfully witnessed the appearance of the constellation Urus.

However, the appearance of this sign is mostly not a good thing, and it warns the people of the Old World that disasters and wars are coming. The constellation Androsaurus appears for a short period of time, and few people are born at this point in time, however, it is said that people born at this point in time will be bold and confident, and they will grow up to be strong and strong, as well as unwavering faith and outstanding leadership skills. In other words, when the heavens send down the calamity, they also send down the savior...... Rod didn't know if he belonged to this sign or not, but it didn't matter, he didn't believe it.

There are also many constellations of one kind or another, such as the constellation Witch, which appears when the evil moon falls, and people born during this time are rumored to have strong magical talents. However, because it came at the wrong time, Mothrib is a symbol of disaster and evil for most people, so in some remote areas, fanatical religious elements will strangle babies born during this time......

In addition, each constellation has its own stories and legends, and in the libraries of the great cities of the empire, there are encyclopedias dedicated to the constellations. These encyclopedias are not usually sold to the public, but a few scholars put them on the market for their livelihood and gold. However, there are very few people who can afford it. Because there were very few literate people in both the empire and Bretonnia, and at the same time, because of the knowledge involved, the price of books was extremely high. Sometimes the price of a book is equivalent to the income of an ordinary worker and peasant for an entire year. So, many times, people get horoscope knowledge by word of mouth.

On winter nights, when you sit around the fire and have nothing to do, you can talk about these mysterious and interesting stories. This is a way to relieve the unentertaining country time.

Counting the stars, Rhodes was drowsy.

However, just as Rhodes was about to fall asleep, a movement in the forest caught his attention.

The sound came quickly, and the earth began to tremble.

The rich combat experience made Rhodes react immediately, this is by no means an ordinary beast group, but an organized and large-scale war group.

"Prepare for war!"

Rod drew his broadsword and roared. The surrounding Norsca raiders also stood up alertly, threw away the food in their hands, and like Rod, instantly drew the weapons on their waists.

Soon, the attack came quickly.

The first beastman sprang out of the woods, a low-level hornless beast, but soon the second and third beastmen appeared. Like a swarm, piles of beastmen suddenly surrounded Rhodes and his Norscan marauders from all sides.

They roared, and without declaring war, they laid siege to the human forces that had penetrated deep into the forest.

Retaliatory offense.

Rhodes knew that perhaps his own sweeping operation had cornered the beastmen and all kinds of strange beasts in the forest. At this moment, the Beastmen, who outnumbered the Noscans, were rushing towards him......
