Chapter 175: Fire on the Ice Field

Tenan slowly recounts the story of more than a decade ago, the growth of a teenager and his brotherly friend. As a teenager, Tenan was an extremely self-respecting and awkward man, while Manna was a gentle and generous warrior, which is a strange combination. In the beginning of the cooperation, Manna always inadvertently gave Tenan the opportunity to hunt wild beasts, and Tenan, who did not understand this, was proud. So the self-respecting teenager was able to return home with a full load and proudly show his "achievements" to his sister.

"I was naΓ―ve and felt incredibly powerful, and Manna seemed inferior to me in many ways. Because he often stumbled at the last moment of his hunting, and I made six or seven of my last killings. You may find it ridiculous, but that's really my true heart, everyone has a naΓ―ve and rebellious path, but there are long and short points. ”

Tenan looked into Catherine's bright eyes, his voice tinged with a hint of self-deprecation. Somehow, Catherine's face turned red, perhaps because Tenan's words touched a similar heartstring.

"Actually, I was like that for many times before today......"

Catherine muttered under her breath as the beautiful metal mage drooped her red-haired head.

"But it wasn't long before I finally understood my weakness, it was the season to hunt two-horned whales, and I stupidly jumped on the back of the ferocious whale alone, because I thought I could deal with the eight-meter-long monster alone. But the truth shattered my illusions, I fell into the sea, the horns and teeth of the black whale picked at me, and I almost died, but Big Brother Manna saved me. ”

Tenan calmly recalled the bits and pieces of the past, as if he had not heard Catherine's words at all, and the affectionate words flowed through the dark night sky, adding a color of life to the cold and rough camp walls.

"The waves were rushing like boiling water, the bitter and salty waters rushed into my mouth, and I saw unimaginably huge whales rushing towards me, and that was the first time I felt the horror of death. The rhapsody of self-confidence was shattered, and I felt my insignificance in front of the creation of the sea. ”

"But at that moment Brother Men threw me out of the water like thunder and lightning, and he would have stumbled when he usually hit a seal, but he was as agile as a saber-toothed tiger in the north. For the remainder of the few minutes, I sat in the boat in amazement and saw the raging waves and blood gushing out of the sea, as if there was an army fighting in the sea. The boat was rocking, but my heart was shaking deeper, and I began to understand what our "equal cooperation" was in the first place. ”

The great deity of the god of war, Yurik, sighed deeply, and then continued to tell the original story. Catherine put her hand on her cheek and listened quietly, and the red-haired princess suddenly turned into a quiet cat.

A moment later, the water turned red, and the eight-meter-long black-backed two-horned whale surfaced its white belly, and then the equally bloodied Monk, who had slain the beast with only a bronze halberd spear. His face was gloomy, and without his usual smile, I could probably understand why. ”

"When we got back to land, Brother Manna gave me a hard mouth, and it woke me up to what a true man should do. He told me melancholy that he did not want the son of the greatest warrior of the tribe to die in vain, and he told me how my heroic father had died in battle with the demon of Chaos. In fact, he was one of several survivors of that tribal expedition, having witnessed my father become a Urric god and later die in battle. ”

"Since then, I have said goodbye to my arrogance and stupidity, I have used all my strength to hone my fighting skills, and Brother Manna has become my best teacher, whether it is in the hunt of behemoths or in the battle against the Chaos tribes. Many times we fought back-to-back, many times our blood flowed together. When we triumphed, Lelia was always the first to come to greet us on the side of the road, she was my dearest sister, and she was as close to me as Brother Manna was. ”

The black-haired Divine Servant lowered his straight sword eyebrows, and his calm voice gradually deepened, squeezing the hearts of people like a sloping mountain.

"Ten years later, I became stronger than everyone else in the midst of fire and blood, and with Manna I became the leader of the tribe. Lelia has also grown up, and before she knows it, she has become the most delicate girl in the entire tribe. I saw her special look at Manna and I felt it was appropriate. Because only Big Manna can match my beloved gems. But just a month before the wedding, a storm of chaos swept through our little tribe. ”

With this muffled voice, the divine servant named Tenan clenched his fists hard, and the hard joints made a clicking sound. The red-haired princess snuggled silently into his arms, the cold wind of the winter night stirring her fiery red hair, as if to show the excitement and chaos in her heart.

"It was an ordinary morning, and I set out with two hundred warriors of the tribe to hunt on the coast, more than a hundred miles away. Only Big Brother Men remained in the village community as a guard, and that was because he rarely fell ill. Lelia stayed behind to take care of him, and she had planned to set off with us. ”

"But at night I suddenly felt restless, as if there was a special flame that was scorching my heart. Although there was no reason, I jumped on my horse and ordered ten men to guard the luggage, while the others hurried back to the tribal camp with me. In the middle of the way, we saw a raging fire, a fire in a familiar direction that almost burned my soul. ”

"Soon after, we met the survivors of the tribe, who scrambled to describe the tragic moment. A few hours ago, thousands of Chaos Kugan cavalry attacked our tribe with trolls, their hooves shaking the ground, arrows raining down, and many dead or chained. Fighting like the great White Wolf Warlord, Men protected hundreds of women and children to break out of the siege, but when he found that there were still a few hundred others in the midst of chaos, he re-led ten warriors and rushed back. My sister Lelia rushed back to the battlefield because she was worried that she was also a beginner-level magician. ”

"But when we rode our horses frantically to the tribe's camp, all we saw was corpses and burnt ruins. Many of the corpses of Chaos died under the halberds I knew well, but I didn't find anyone I knew. Whether it's Big Brother Manna or Relia, they're all gone, I don't see their bodies, I don't know if they're alive or dead. The indescribable pain of that moment shattered my heart, and then ...... It's my revenge, you should understand. ”

Tenan's eyes were moist, and the steel giant could not hide his feelings in the sad place. Catherine opened her soft lips as if to say something, but at last she was silent, just pressing her cheek deep against Tenan's violently heaving chest with excitement. Her jade hand wrapped tightly around Tenan's waist, and tears flowed from her big beautiful eyes.
