"Adult ......"

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

In the gloomy hall of the Black Hammer Castle, Sibes, the captain of the Bear Knights, walked up to the Great Lord Rhodes with a melancholy expression, and stopped talking.

Seeing this scene, Rod couldn't help but feel a little nervous, he probably guessed the result.

"All the Rangers didn't come back...... We sent a rescue team and we only brought back this ......."

Sibes said, letting the attendants carry the coffin in. Inside, is the regret of the chief ranger.

With a heavy heart, Rhodes walked to the coffin, and in front of him was a completely frozen corpse, a wrecked corpse, which should be said to be a corpse...... The chief ranger's regret was divided into five pieces and put into this coffin, because of the low temperature, his skin and internal organs were intact, but the skeleton of his body was scattered and shattered, you can imagine how he died, a powerful and outrageous cold current instantly crushed his body, shattering his complete body in an instant, the rescue team may have collected the bones from all around and put them together......

There is no doubt about what kind of cold wave can have such a powerful impact. In addition to the dragon's breath, what kind of cold wave can crush a person's body in an instant?

Looking at the corpses of the rangers, Rhodes only felt that his mood was getting heavier and heavier. The collapse of the Great Wall has not yet been resolved, and no one can give an explanation or answer to the vast northern border, and now, the disappearance of an entire team of rangers north of the Great Wall has undoubtedly exacerbated the panic of the people.

As a commander and a great lord, Rhodes is well aware of the stakes, and if he can't give the people an answer and quickly quell the rumors, the consequences will be unimaginable. The construction of the Great Wall will cease, and the people will become more and more afraid, leaving no one to settle south of the Great Wall...... It even affects the entire North......

A heavy pressure suddenly pressed on Rod. Although he stepped down as the king of the North, Rhodes knew that the entire North was still following his orders.

"We had to go in person. ”

After pondering for a long time, Rod slowly spoke up about his decision.

"By all indications, the monster that attacked the Wall and the patrol had fled north, toward Northca. And, my lord, is it too risky for you to go out on your own? Isn't it necessary?"

Sibes was honest about his concerns.

"I don't go, no one goes. It was supposed to be a powerful creature, too powerful to be killed with a normal weapon. No matter how many Rangers are sent, it should not be more people buried in the North. ”

Rod pondered and said—

"This is a very important matter, the words are terrible, the panic cannot continue to spread, the Great Wall has been suspended for several weeks, if work is not resumed, then how can we explain the assistance we have requested from the Empire?"

With that, Rhodes stared at his right-hand man. When he left, half of his men were left in Kislev City, guarding Dennis's side, and the best and most loyal knight Virgil also stayed in Kislev City, and at this moment, only Sibes, Celta, and Yeskovich were left by his side. As for the dwarves, Rhodes knew he didn't have the authority to command them. Search the e-book

Of course, tracking down the Frost Dragon north, Rhodes knew that Bogur would be happy to do it......

"And when are we leaving?"

Sibes asked with a calm face.

"Set off when you're ready, you can't rush, but you can't procrastinate. A patrol has been buried, and we don't want to see anyone die on the way. But there wasn't much time for us to prepare, and for every minute we delayed, the beast could be thousands of miles away from us. ”

Sitting on the cold stone chair, Rod said calmly-

"I will extend an invitation to my former comrades, and in the meantime, we need some allies. Dwarves, they are the most suitable candidates. ”

"I'm afraid there aren't many dwarves in the city who can actually fight. ”

Sibes replied.

"I'm not talking about the dwarves who live in Black Hammer Castle, but the dwarves of Dulong City. ”

Rhodes looked out the window, it had been many years, and he hadn't been to Dulong City for many years. But this will not make the friendship of the past fade. Rhodes knows that if even the dwarves in this world are treacherous, there will be no one to trust.

"If they were willing to form an expedition to lead the way, our task would be much easier. Admittedly, these dwarves are much more physically stronger than us, and at the same time, they are more enthusiastic about adventure than we are. The dwarves of Dulong City also know better than us about the situation in the north, and Bogur was born as a ranger back then. I have done a lot of hunting for large beasts. ”

Rod explained.

......

A few days later, the team was assembled. Eight Bear Knights, six veteran hunters, sixteen Norsca veterans, as well as Celta, Bogur and Sibes, etc., the team is not huge, but it is also an elite who has followed Rhodes all the way.

The troops were low-key, and Rhodes knew very well that the purpose of this trip was to find the culprit who destroyed the Great Wall, kill it, and drag the body back to calm the people's fears. Even if you can't kill the beast, find the corpses of other dead ice dragons or mammoths and bring back the bones to dispel the panic in the hearts of the people.

The road from Black Hammer Fort to Dulong City is no stranger, but it is just that the old place is a little more desolate and memorable. The dark forest north of Blackhammer is still covered with dead trees, the sun is scarce, and the forest path has no end in sight. Back then, here, there was a battle between the Norscan invaders and the defenders of Blackhammer Castle, and in the end, relying on the terrain and traps, the combined forces of Blackhammer Castle and Heidelberg and Ringcity barely won and killed many northern invaders. The Bloodspear Clan has since made a feud with Blackhammer. This is why the 20,000 Norsca army invaded the north......

Traces of battlefield battles are still visible, and those fortifications and large traps have been preserved to this day, as if telling the cruelty and ruthlessness of the years. The bodies of the thousands of Norscans who died here have long since been burned. There is not a trace of it.

Rhodes just paused to hurriedly remember the soldiers of Black Hammer Fort who died here, and continued north to Dulong City.

The temperature is getting colder, the forest slowly turns from black to silvery white, and once you get out of the dark forest, it is the land of trolls. It can also be said that the Dark Forest is the real north. There, there are no four seasons of the year, only the north wind and eternal winter that can never stop. Like the Great Wall, to the north of the high wall, only the snow-capped mountains and wasteland, and to the south of the high wall, are the places where human beings live.
