Chapter 227 Waiting for the Rabbit (Part 1)

The cold whizzed past the ice field, rolling up the frost and snow on the ground, and countless hail fell from the haze sky, hitting the leather armor and making a crackling sound.

This ghost weather! Mercenary Luolai took out his beloved silver wine pot from his warm arms, unscrewed the lid with his almost frozen hands, and sent it to his blue lips and took a deep mouth.

The spirits flowed down his throat and into his stomach, bringing a warmth to his heart. He let out a long breath, carefully put the lid on the bottle and put it back in his arms.

After rubbing his numb hands hard, he grabbed the reins again. The mercenary turned around and shouted loudly: "We have to speed up. I don't want to camp in this damn place after dark!"

Behind him was a long transport team. Two hundred barbarian soldiers protected 470 snow camels, loaded with food, arrows and other supplies to the city of Valen more than 200 miles away, providing supplies to the army there.

This section of the road is not easy to walk. The cold climate and thick snow in the far north are the biggest obstacles. Carriages are simply not available on the snow, and snow camels have become the only means of transportation.

Under normal circumstances, it takes about five days to complete a trip, and they have to spend a night in Hailan during this period.

Mercenary Luolai is the commander of this transportation team and the only warrior. Of course, he is not a barbarian. His hometown is Farea, the human empire.

The Farea Empire has always been the most powerful supporter of the extreme northern barbarians. This is because Farea and the Kingdom of Bemon have never stopped their fear of the invasion of the beasts.

Therefore, the empire spared no effort to support the extreme northern barbarians, making the Bemon kingdom have no time to deal with. Although Farea has to pay a lot of manpower and force for this every year, hundreds of years of peace and tranquility seem to prove the correctness of this strategy.

This also gave mercenaries like Luolai a chance.

In the elite Farean Empire, it is basically difficult for low-level warriors like Role to join the army to make a fortune, and their salary will not be very high. Being a free and independent mercenary is not easy to receive good tasks.

If you are just willing to eat and drink enough and spend some money, relying on a small noble or businessman may be a good choice, but you are destined to be mediocre all your life.

None of these were what Luolai wanted. In order to make him a warrior, his family exhausted almost all of his financial resources. Now is the time to repay Luolai.

So he responded to the empire's conscription without hesitation and went north as a mercenary to participate in the war between the orcs and barbarians.

Although the environment of the Arctic Iceland is harsh and harsh, and joining the war is extremely dangerous, the generous rewards made Luolai grit his teeth and persevere.

Of course, as a warrior of the human race, the status he can possess in the barbarian army is simply unavailable in the Farean Empire. This 200-man baggage team is completely under his command. You can get a lot of money by just using some hands and feet.

Working for another year, you will save up ten thousand gold coins and go back! He secretly swore in his heart that he would rather farm in the countryside than never come here to drink the northwest wind, so that all the barbarians and orcs would go to the ghosts!

The snow camel transport team struggled to move forward under the storm of strong wind and hail. After a period of trekking, they finally saw the snow hills and buildings appearing on the ice field in the distance.

Hailan Ji is ahead!

Luolai couldn't help but smile. Although the conditions in this ruined town were very bad, it was finally a place that could block the wind and snow, and it was at least much better than sleeping on the ice field.

At least there he could have a warm room for rest, with hot broth and bread for dinner.

"Guys! Look, we're at Hailan!"

The barbarian soldiers cheered at the same time. Although they had already adapted to the ice field, transporting supplies from a long distance was still a chore. The two-day trek was exhausted, and only at the transit point ahead could they rest for a night.

They speeded up, and Hailanji got closer and closer, and could see the houses covered with snow.

There is also the frost giant standing proudly among them.

Although I have seen it many times, Luo Lai's heart was still full of amazement and security when he saw the war puppet more than 20 feet tall.

There is such a big guy who protects Hai Lanji. At night, he can give up his responsibilities and have a good sleep and take a good night's sleep to deal with the relatively dangerous itinerary of the next two days.

Driven by the snow camel, he was the first to step into Hailanji.

The mercenary immediately felt a little strange and found that today's Hailan Collection was a little different from usual.

The barbarian warriors guarding the Hailan concentration did not line up to welcome their arrival. They seemed to have disappeared, and a trace of tension filled the air.

Could something happened here? Luolai thought subconsciously.

However, he was not worried much. What else should he be afraid of if there was a frost giant garrison here, unless it was attacked by a large-scale enemy.

"Where are you guys?" he shouted at the Frost Giant: "What's wrong here?"

The Frost Giant heard his voice and slowly turned around and took a big step forward.

The next moment, something completely unexpected happened to Luolai.

The Frost Giant suddenly raised his weapon and waved his arm and smashed it down at him!

How could this happen? The mercenary suddenly fell into an ice cave, and his whole mind was frozen by the cold fear of death. Looking at the huge mace that was waving, his mind was blank.

I'm not your enemy!

Under the fierce wind, Luolai opened his mouth wide and wanted to defend himself loudly, but before he could say anything, he rushed out of his throat, and the mace had already hit the top of his head!

Bang!

The nearly 1,000-pound fine iron weapon smashed the unlucky mercenary and the snow camel under his crotch into meat sauce. Broken flesh and blood splattered everywhere, and he didn't even have a chance to dodge.

While the mercenary Luolai was killed on the spot, the originally calm Hailanji seemed to suddenly set off a storm, and a famous archer appeared from the ruins in unison.

They pulled their longbows and sharp arrows pointed at the savage people who were at a loss!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The arrows were flying, and within a distance of only a few dozen steps, the barbarian warriors who had no preparation had no time to dodge. They screamed and fell from the hunchback of the snow, or fell directly on the snow.

The bright red blood quickly dyed the white earth red, and the strong smell of blood filled the air. The dying tragic roar and the screams of the snow camel were intertwined. The baggage transport team that had just stepped into Hailanji suddenly fell into chaos.

The lurker had been planning for a long time, and just the first wave of attacks, more than half of the two hundred barbarian warriors were injured or killed.

A few barbarians who escaped the attack took advantage of the opportunity to pull out their weapons and roared to launch a counterattack, but the frost giants on the side smashed them one by one and smashed the two soldiers directly out!

The great Titan, what's going on? The surviving barbarian warrior almost collapsed on the spot, and he couldn't figure out why the war puppet he was proud of helped the enemy.

The barbarians believed that the Frost Giant was a magical artifact given to them by the Titan God, so the Frost Giant was not just a war puppet for them, but also a totem and spiritual pillar in their hearts.

The barbarians believed that as long as the frost giants existed, their race would prosper on the ice fields.

For thousands of years, the giant barbarians have always stood at the forefront of war, and they can be destroyed and seized by the enemy, but they have never been rebelled or used by the enemy.

So these savages did not believe in the facts in front of them at all. When the frost giant's mace fell, they even stood motionless, with despair and incredible expressions in their eyes.

The Frost Giants did not feel ruthless because of their helplessness. They stepped on one warrior and killed another with one stick, ruthlessly reaping their lives.

"kill!"

Hundreds of warriors rushed out from behind the archers and rushed towards the remaining enemies like wolves and tigers.

In just a few minutes, the barbarian warriors were completely lost, and only a few lost people were captured on the spot.

Click!

The frost giant who stopped killing knelt on one knee, raised his left hand and pushed his chest high. Leon, who controlled the war puppet inside, jumped down and landed steadily on the ground.

"Boss!"

Rock Hammer rushed over from the side with an excited look on his face: "It's all done, I captured five prisoners alive, and all the others were killed, and none of us were injured!"

All enemies were wiped out, and no damage was done to one side! Leon nodded and was very satisfied.

Such a result is very normal. He captured Hailanji here and waited for the rabbits, waiting for the barbarian baggage team to come to the door. Now he really caught a big rabbit that was delivered to the door.

The nine hundred thunder beast warriors plus a war puppet are willing to fight against unpreparedness. It would be strange if they cannot win a full victory in the attack.

"Let everyone clear the battlefield, cut off all the bodies and buried their ears, and hurry up and ask for confessions!" Leon ordered: "We will wait here for two more days!"

Yan Hammer nodded and immediately directed the soldiers to clean the battlefield.

According to the information obtained previously, in addition to this transportation and baggage team, there should be an empty-load transportation team returning from Valen City in the past two days, which is also a beautiful target.

Leon's eyes couldn't help but fall on those almost intact snow camels. These hundreds of snow camels not only brought a large amount of supplies, but more importantly, they themselves are very useful to the Thunder Beast Brigade.

I believe that in not much time, all the thunder beast warriors can be matched with a snow camel, so their movement speed will be greatly improved.

Leon turned his head and looked north, where, a hundred miles apart, was the target he really wanted to plunder.

Linsk, an important port used by the Farea Empire to support the barbarians!
