Chapter 92: The King of the Mountains
The convoy set off, and the bull and the mountain boar dragged the heavy cart forward.
On either side of the convoy were cavalry warriors riding domes, whose weapons were mainly spears.
There were also barbarian knights riding on giant boars, which were taller than the sturdy and light Dom goat knights, and were usually half a body taller than the young men who worked in the fields, like the difference between adults and children.
Boar knights wear armor most of the time, and their weapons are mainly long-handled battle axes.
On the battlefield they are each an efficient killing machine, and here they are just the escort knights of the convoy.
They were followed by female guards in light leather armor, who were the sentries and scouts of the convoy and the maintainers of order within the convoy.
Most of the warriors only had to deal with the various battles, and the rest would be done by these men and women in cloth clothes.
As the ruler of the Northlands, there is no shortage of barbarian warriors who can inspire fear.
These majestic warriors rode terrifying beasts across the mountains, their heavy bodies easily leaving visible footprints on the ground.
The birds and beasts in the mountains are far away from these people, and many meat eaters have a keen sense of smell and can spot these terrifying "herds" from several kilometers away and quickly leave the area.
The heavy and slow convoy gradually skirted the wide lake and descended from the sloping mountain on the other side.
From the seemingly smooth water meadows, to the rocky roads that gradually dry and harden, to the rugged mountain roads.
Sometimes the convoy went downstream, and sometimes it had to climb over the mountains.
Lawrence wondered why he had to go over the mountain instead of digging a tunnel straight out of the mountain.
The answer to this doubt was seen in the evening.
The convoy came to a flat stone road, and the front was unobstructed, as long as you continued to walk on this flat road, it would not take long to reach the range of the Snow Mountain Fort.
But the entire convoy of warriors and minions was in a state of terror, and even the wild boars and bulls pulling the carts let out frightened screams.
Lawrence quickly got out of the car and walked to the edge of the stone pavement.
At the foot are the usual canyons, which are often found in the rolling mountains with rapids.
The canyon below is not steep, just a normal slope of more than 40 degrees on both sides, and the river below looks small and not wide.
On the way, you can see a wide lake in the distance, and barren mountains that are mostly barren of grass.
The stone road at the foot is an aerial corridor connecting the two mountains, which stands quietly and steadily above the canyon at the foot of the canyon that is three or four hundred meters high.
Lawrence stood on the four- or five-meter-wide stone road, feeling the breeze blowing in the valley, and understood the fear of the warriors behind him at this spectacle.
It's like when a barbarian first sees the Colossus of Crowfeathers, and the shock is not something that humans who often see skyscrapers and huge structures can imagine.
Ordinary people would feel scared when they saw a giant man two and a half meters tall, let alone a fifty-meter-tall giant in this magical world.
Now everyone has not encountered the giant, but standing in this miraculous air corridor, there is naturally awe and fear in their hearts.
Neither the giant bull nor the big boar dared to move forward, they were huge in size and not very bold, especially when they encountered giant beasts and horrors larger than themselves, and they were as timid as a chicken.
It may not even be as good as chickens, because these beasts originally live in plains and flat areas, and have an innate fear of this treacherous terrain.
The domes were much better and did not cause a riot.
Lawrence looked at the boulder road that was more than a hundred meters long, and couldn't imagine how Deren and Dahir had managed to do it, this thing had already pushed the limits of Lawrence's imagination.
"Walk over there." Lawrence quickly reassured his men, "Go as far as you can, and be careful of the frightened animals and don't get squeezed down by them." ”
Lawrence quickly led a giant bull forward, and the four-meter-long giant bull behind him was very docile in front of Lawrence, although he was still a little scared, but he still followed carefully.
The carriage behind it also moved steadily, slowly moving on this flat, dry heavy stone road.
Under the guidance of the prophet, the people plucked up courage to follow.
The little nun Lana closed her eyes tightly on the hanging board at the back of the carriage, holding the curious Yubao in her hands.
Fuo walked silently on the road behind, and she was quiet all the way, learning all kinds of knowledge from the female warriors in the team.
Sophie, who was also a female warrior, was born in a poor mountain, and it was difficult for people who were afraid of heights to survive in the mountains.
People who are afraid of water rarely drown, but in an environment where there are deep rapids everywhere, such people who are afraid of water are definitely more likely to die than those who know how to water.
In the mountains, it is difficult for the fear of heights gene to continue, and most of the people who survive have adapted to the steep alpine terrain.
Most of the barbarians who live near the plains and seas have a fear of heights, but there are also some people who are born warriors and are not afraid of much.
Fuao belongs to this category.
Tim and Fuo huddle together, and she's also afraid of falling.
Lolita, who was sitting between the two, was smiling and not afraid at all.
"It's not going to fall, I also helped when this road was built! Believe me! ”
Lolita's abilities are very versatile, much more useful than Heidi's water abilities.
However, Lolita herself does not have much subjectivity, and Heidi can better arrange how she uses her abilities, in exchange for a share of the reward for the girl who does the work.
Lawrence, who was walking at the forefront, thought about how the road would be built, and when he passed through it, he also thought of several ways to build a stone bridge.
The safest way is to block one end of the canyon, store water in the valley between the two mountains in the summer or when there is a lot of rain, and then rely on boats to transport stones, cement, and sand on both sides to fix it.
With Delenn and Dahir's Earth Attribute Abilities, and Lolita's Buoyancy Ability, building this Boulder Road is a matter of assembly time.
But even so, it's a huge project, and it's terrifying to be able to build a city in dozens of days or less.
Barbarian warriors rely on their strong physical fitness to suppress ordinary people in terms of height, weight, strength and other aspects, and ordinary people are like encountering natural enemies when facing these tough barbarians.
The barbarian warriors, despite their strong physique, have a kind of fear that comes from the blood when facing those seemingly thin and short wizards.
This spectacle under your feet, this kind of gigantic engineering may not be a big deal to a wizard.
For most wizards of this era, Lawrence Ravenfeather, the legendary king of barbarians and the king of the mountains who conquered the mountains of Agama, was the most terrifying existence.
In the eyes of most transcendents, Lawrence is the mountain they perceive, and even the most powerful wizard will realize his weakness and humility when facing the king of the mountains.
He is the king of giants standing on the mountains, and can easily crush any wizard, any national power. (End of chapter)
