Lake Valen, the dividing line between the north and south of the world, may be the southern terminus of life in the entire arctic ice sheet. There was no way for a small boat to cross the entire water from here, and there were only two ways to get here from the southern world. Pass through the northern outposts of Mithmetz's territory, or follow the caravans of the Catu, across the vast steppes to the path hidden in the mist, and bypass the lake to the north.

However, no matter which one you choose, it is a thousand difficulties. No matter how the rangers of the Brenus family cleared up, the barbarian bandit tribes of the Misty Mountains could still be wiped out, and the Brennus family would charge a considerable toll if they managed to maintain this relatively safe passage; if Marions from the east went north, they would be prepared for the danger of being robbed by a passing horse caravan on the prairie - the poor and crazy herdsmen may not be better at talking than the barbarians of the Misty Mountains.

Even if you manage to reach the Far North and find the Highlander tribes, you don't have to say you're safe - indeed, most of the Highlander tribes are very hospitable and welcoming to the caravans from the south. But it is also extremely normal for a few "overzealous" tribes to appear once in a while.

However, as the Roman fleet found a route to Ryan, the trade route became much safer - and the Ryan tribe became more prosperous than ever. Although the Roman fleet was expensive to protect, and it was difficult for foreign merchants to compete with the Caesarea Chamber of Commerce in this area, many people still flocked to it. However, the impact is that there are many fewer merchants elsewhere.

Sailing on the sea, like a sharp sword cutting through the sea, several Roman ships cut through the waves and thorns, protecting the merchant ships behind, which can indeed give people a great sense of security. However, this voyage was not to protect the caravan, and the guests were turned into the elite knights and rangers of Mistemaw.

Aaron, who was depressed, was lying on the bed in the captain's room of a large transport ship at this time - it was evident that the heroic Aaron had at first strongly requested to take Constantine's flagship. However, it didn't take long for him to find himself seasick, and even then he planned to stay in the transport cabin with the knights (such a ship would not have many elaborate rooms, of course). However, after learning from Konstantin's mouth that the wind and waves would be more violent in the next period of time, Aaron, who was vomiting and diarrhea and was about to collapse all over his body, finally stopped insisting.

In fact, Aaron was not alone, but the originally strong and strong Misse Horse knights and rangers were now vomiting to the ground, but it was impossible for Constantine to arrange for them all of them, so he had to prepare large barrels in the bilge for them to vomit at any time - after seeing the Roman sailors on the deck, these Northland warriors were not to mention the grievances.

In fact, the voyage will continue for some time. Aaron even doubted that he would be able to hold out until the end, maybe the knights who were brought out by him this time. There will also be attrition because of this - fainting to death, that is really a shameful way to die!

"How do you feel, are you more comfortable?" Gardo, the Grand Chief of the Ryan Tribe, gently pushed open the door and looked at His Excellency Duke Aaron Brennus who was lying on the bed sleepy-eyed and looking out the window at the sky: "I brought you a bottle of wine to refresh you - we have to sail for a few days!"

In order to take care of the seasick duke, Gado also came to the ship, and he had a good impression of this young man of the Brenus family, who was very similar to himself. The Knights of Mistelmai also have a very good reputation in the Far Arctic Ice Field. In addition, this time the other party is here to help his tribe, so it is natural to take care of it a little.

"Thanks, but I'm not going to eat or drink anything right now except for water. Aaron still didn't have any joy on his face when he saw someone coming in. The voice was weak and weak: "In the end, I have to spit it all out." The Glorious Cross is above, and now I must be grateful if someone can get me to the Far North Ice Sheet at once!"

"Believe me, there is no faster way to reach the ice field than a Roman ship. I went to Mistermai once. The long journey in the snow also encountered several Misty Mountain bandits. Gado sat down next to Aaron and filled his empty glass with bright red wine, "Even a few years ago. There are still countless pirates of the Misty Mountains on the surface of this lake—they are all but gone now. ”

"Commander Konstantin is indeed an excellent captain. Aaron whispered, "So, from now on, you are one of us?Governor of Ryan Province, should I congratulate you in advance on your becoming a new nobleman of the Roman Empire?"

"I'll announce this when I get back to the tribe, and that's the decision made by the entire Ryan tribe. Jia Duo smiled a little helplessly and said: "The barbarians of the Misty Mountains are becoming more and more united, and now they rarely encounter the Misty Mountain bandits - they are slowly becoming an army, while the tribes of the highlanders are gradually estranged from each other, and they are no longer able to sit together and discuss things as they used to. ”

"Is it because of the Wimpal family?" Aaron didn't stop thinking despite his collapse, muttering softly, his eyes gradually condensed.

"What did you just say?" Gardo looked curiously at Aaron, who was muttering to himself, and handed over the wine glass: "What...... The Wimpal family, are they the nobles of any empire?"

"Oh, nothing, it's just that I'm thinking about something...... You know, there are so many families in the whole north that it's hard to remember them all. Aaron casually dealt with it, the matter about Wimpal was still a secret in the current empire, and Aaron didn't plan to let the young man in front of him know about it: "Thank you, I think I should really drink something." ”

"A force that cannot be united is not enough to fight an enemy that is growing stronger. Aaron smiled slightly, "Why don't you start trying to unite the Highlanders?" I believe that as the Great Chief of the Ryan Tribe, your strength is enough to do a lot of things." King of the Highlands~--Well, that sounds good!"

"Don't make jokes there, maybe my father might, but I'...... Hehehehe, I can't do it. Gado shook his head shyly: "I don't have that kind of prestige and power. ”

"But you're right about one thing, I'm really trying to unite the highlander tribes. Gado looked embarrassed, and quietly half-covered his mouth and said, "I'm trying to unite the Aslum tribe. Father has proposed to their High Chief, and next month I will marry the daughter of High Chief Aslum!"

"The old man is a very stubborn fellow, but he is very powerful—it is said that when he was young, he fought wolves in the forest, and brought back many wolf skins—quite complete!" said Gado with admiration, "The hunters of the Aslum tribe are very famous even among all the highlanders, and they live deep in the great forest, and there is no other way to unite them than to marry. ”

"Then I'll congratulate you first - the Governor of Ryan Province, and maybe the Governor of the Highlands in the future. Aaron shook the cup slightly, and the smile on his face became stronger and stronger: "I said, how is the daughter of the big chief?

"Oh, her beauty is indescribable!" said Gardo, who looked like a shy big boy, "Actually, she's not very pretty, but she's ...... Temperament, temperament, like a little wild cat in the forest, is extremely fascinating. Yes, she has long, fiery red hair, which is as beautiful as a flame flying on a snowy field!"

"Fiery red, that sounds pretty good!" Aaron seemed to feel his body recover a little, and slowly sat up with his hands on his body: "So you're lucky - beauty is in your arms, and there is a tribe willing to follow you." ”

"She was a good hand with a short spear, so I gave her two good ones—which I bought when I came back from Caesarea, and she liked it. Jia Duo seemed to think of himself and the red-haired girl, his eyes gradually began to be a little confused, and he couldn't help grinning: "She was laughing happily at that time." At that moment, I felt like I was ...... A wolf, chasing a small wild cat in the woods, we ran, hunted, played with each other, played tricks on each other, and wrestled together......"

"Well, well, you don't have to describe those 'exciting' scenes in such detail, my dear Gado. Aaron smiled evilly and waved his hand: "Trust me, I can imagine it!"

"So, it's not just for myself, it's for Ryan, it's for Anton and our future...... Kid!" Gado suddenly became serious, "I must defeat those Barbarians of the Misty Mountains, and you will help me, right, Aaron Brennus, my friend!"

"For the sake of the Empire, and for the sake of my friends, Theodore Julian, and of course you, Gado, son of Sunel. It is also for the honor of the Brennus family and the one hundred and fifty years of watchfulness to be able to end here. Aaron grabbed his hand: "I will fight to the death with the beasts of the Misty Mountains, unless one side falls first, the war will not end, and the day it ends must be the day we win!"

Speaking of this, Aaron suddenly remembered a mantra from Theodore, looked at Gado in front of him with a little mischievous mentality, and said in a deep voice:

"I am Aaron, Aaron of Brennus, Duke of Mistermael. I do what I say!"
