Time was pressing, and the invisible shadow behind them hung over the entire team, forcing them to reach the Chariot Mountains as soon as possible. Even though the orcs were reluctant to do so, they had to leave the steppe and leave the homeland that had only been established for a few years in order to survive.

Anger, sorrow, and reluctance haunted the hearts of every Warcry tribesman, and instead of roaring as loudly as they used to be, they didn't run wild on their mounts, they just lowered their heads slightly, silently driving the Kodomons forward, their wounded brothers and comrades behind them.

Too many people were killed in last night's battle, and hundreds of brothers who had drunk and fought together in the past were laid to rest forever on the grassland, and because of the urgency of time, everyone did not even have time to bury their bodies properly.

The dead die for a long time, and the living survive.

The Warcry Tribe will one day return home, but none of the surviving brothers can afford to lose any of them. The rumbling hooves of the Kodo beasts roll forward, and the mountains of the south, these afflictions from the steppes pray for your protection.

Marlowe rode Kodomon at the front of the group, he hadn't closed his eyes for a day or two nights, the night and exhaustion were constantly eating away at his nerves, and he felt a little groggy even when he tried to get himself up.

"Marlowe, look!"

Pinak's cry made Marlowe sleepy, and he immediately grabbed the reins and asked, "What happened?"

"The moon, you can already see the moon, we're almost reaching the Chariot Mountains!"

Pinak's words of surprise sobered everyone up. Because of the advent of the god of winter, the sky on the grassland is always covered with dark clouds, and the moonlight representing the eye of the gods cannot be spread to the earth at all.

"Thank you to the Goddess of Life for her guidance. Marlowe folded his hands over his chest and said in gratitude.

Among the four seasons, only the moon representing the goddess of life hangs in the sky, the bright moon representing the orc ancestor Marta only appears in summer and autumn, and the bright moon representing the human holy angel Vienna only appears in spring and summer.

At this time, seeing the eye of the goddess of life hanging high in the sky, the exhausted orcs reinvigorated their spirits, and the Kodo beast seemed to smell the scent of grass from the south, and its steps became stronger.

Get out of this world ruled by the god of winter.

Oh......

A wolf howl sent a biting chill through everyone's hearts, and Marlowe looked back, and dozens of flickering fires appeared on the horizon. The warmth of the fire not only did not make Marlowe happy, but made his whole body hairy.

"Oh no, those red-skinned orcs are catching up!" he shouted to the group as the vast grassland was flat and there was no place to hide, and Marlowe and his party were so conspicuous in the moonlight. "Hold on to the seriously wounded and the sled, quick!

With a fierce whip on the Kodomon, the big creature ran wildly in pain, and the whole team began a race against time to survive.

....................................

More than 60 wolf cavalry led by Gul'dan traveled all the way south, and spent the whole day without finding any traces left by Marlowe and others in the heavy snow, just when Gul'dan thought he was running in the wrong direction, a foraging wolf was accidentally discovered by him, this wolf was huge and snow-white, and the wolf's eyes were bright and cold, even in this dark night.

Such a huge wild frost wolf was so rare that Gul'dan immediately decided to seize the other party and tame it into a mount, and then sacrifice it to the Great Chief. Even if you don't get the little bastard's head this time, you will definitely be able to make up for it, and when the time comes, you will beg the succubus for a few kind words, and maybe you will even get the reward of the big chief.

So more than sixty wolf cavalry under his command began to hunt down the wolf, in order to ensure that the wolf could see the chief intact, Gul'dan asked his subordinates to risk the danger to subdue the wolf with both hands, who knew that this frost wolf was as strong as it looked, and as a result, six wolf cavalry were bitten in the neck.

A wolf cavalry raised his axe in terror and slashed at the wolf's head, but was stopped by the weapon thrown by Guldan, and the wolf cavalry killed the wolf with terror and bewilderment, but the axe also broke the frostwolf's front legs.

The wounded lone wolf desperately fought his way out of the encirclement and went south, Gul'dan led the team to chase after him in the rear, he decided to wait for the frost wolf to exhaust his strength before capturing it, but he did not expect to pursue it overnight but made an unexpected discovery on the border of this steppe.

The large, weary Kodomons stood out in the moonlight that Gul'dan recognized at a glance that the orcs riding the Kodomons were the remnants of the Warcry Tribe.

"Haha, what an unexpected bonus!" Gul'dan was greedy. If you sacrifice the frostwolf and the little bastard to the Great Chief, then you will not be able to get more rewards.

"Ten of you are responsible for catching that lone wolf, remember, I am going to live, and if you kill it or fail to catch it, then don't see me alive again. The others will follow me to kill those green-skinned untouchables and get a reward!"

When the wolf cavalry heard the word bounty, they immediately became excited, and they threw down their torches and drew their weapons, spurring the tired wolves to chase after Marlowe and them.

The Kodomons ran with what little strength they had left, the earth making a dull loud noise beneath their feet, and as the Kodomons moved forward, the sleigh began to jolt violently, and the wounded orcs clung to the sled and their unconscious companions, even if the wounds cracked again, they could not give up on their companions and give up hope of surviving together.

The outline of the Chariot Mountains became clearer, and everyone could even clearly see the snow on both sides of the pass that connected the steppe.

"Don't stop, go a little faster, there are still five hundred meters to enter the Chariot Mountains. Marlowe controlled the speed of his mount and allowed himself to slowly fall to the back of the group, the enemy came too fast, and his own group was too slow, and he even felt that Kodomon was crawling forward meter by meter.

"No, you'll be caught up before you even enter the Chariot Mountains. Marlowe looked anxiously at the team. "I have to do something!"

Grabbing the reins to stop the Kodomon, he turned his way to face the dozens of wolf cavalry that were chasing him.

Ogga, who was lying on the sleigh, saw Marlowe's actions and shouted, "Marlowe, what are you doing, keep up!"

"Leave you alone, you go first, and I'll catch up in a moment. Marlowe replied by removing the longbow from his back, and the Kodomon snorted uneasily, its thick thighs cowering back.

"Don't be afraid, big guy, we'll be fine. Patting the Kodor on the back, Marlowe drew his longbow towards Gul'dan, and the bowstring was empty, nothing.
