Chapter 420 They Are Here

The night was illuminated time and time again by intermittent flashes of light. As the figures swayed, the shouts of the snow monsters gradually turned into wailing, and finally...returned to silence.

Because there is no concept of "formation", all the snow monsters who rushed into the battle formation were devoured by swords and swords—the "team cooperation" fighting method perfectly restrained such powerful but rare enemies as snow monsters, and in Akasha Under the "care" of the team, no one died in the entire combat team.

"Change, Advance"

Suo Deluoer's emotionless order sounded beside his ears, and the heavily armored soldiers in the front row immediately raised their shields and walked towards the front of the entire battle formation.

At this time, the more than twenty attacking snow monsters had all fallen down, and the few survivors looked at these not tall fighters with horror on their faces, gasping for air in their mouths - at this time their I no longer have the desire for "food" in my mind, I just want to turn around and escape as far as possible, but before the snow monsters can get up, the soldiers' chain hammers and swords fell mercilessly...

Just like a farmer harvesting wheat, the team of 20 heavy armored infantrymen began to move forward silently at a regular pace. The soldiers on the flanks filled the gap with short spears, and the engineers behind them followed with short bows. The chaos after the battle did not appear at all, and the performance of all the soldiers remained calm and consistent.

Rody was very satisfied with the performance of this defensive battle, but at this time he still did not give orders from Soderol, but followed the team silently, continuing to "check and accept".

The first batch of snow monsters that appeared was not the full strength of the snow monster group in the abandoned village. As the soldiers advanced slowly, the snow monsters that followed also began to rush towards the team foolishly—one, three, Ten, the scattered figures on the horizon appeared one by one, and then were silently swallowed up by this team one by one...

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The footsteps of nearly a hundred people gradually became unified as they marched, echoing on the snowfield like drums urging their lives.

Behind the slope hundreds of meters away, the barbarian team that was still in a relaxed atmosphere just now was silent - they not only saw the demise of the snow monster's vanguard, but also watched these "short" humans step by step into the snow-covered building. Strange village, everything is smoothed out in the dull footsteps...

"Gudong."

Avala swallowed hard, his eyes still staring at the distance—the screams of the snow monsters in the village gradually subsided, and then he saw the light of the torches, and then the abandoned roofs slowly ignited There was cooking smoke.

"He... they actually..."

Avala didn't know how to organize his own language for a while, and the original plan was completely overturned, and even took the completely opposite path. The unexpected result made the barbarians collectively lose their voices.

They knew how many snow monsters there were in this abandoned village. Anyway, Avala never thought about having any conflicts with them. He even thought about whether to let the tribe retreat again several times—but now?

"Leader, shall we...do we still want to attack?"

The sound of inquiry from the side dragged Avala back from his chaotic thoughts. He froze for a while, and wanted to speak, but found that his throat was too tight to speak.

"attack?"

Avala flashed before Avala's eyes the terrifying scene when the snow monsters tore apart his comrades many years ago. The fear that penetrated his bones made him shiver -- hundreds of powerful snow monsters were wiped out in this way. In the face of such fighting power, People like myself rushed up...can they grab something?

"You can go if you think you can."

Even knowing that such words were frustrating, Avala had to give up the idea of ​​continuing to attack. The barbarians are not good at using their brains, but their intuition for "combat" is very sensitive. When the gap in strength is too large, Avala will never be so stupid as to die.

"Minimum loss in exchange for maximum benefit" is Avala's principle, and it is also his only secret to keep the ethnic group's population growing positively for so many years.

After the order was passed on, the barbarian hunters began to evacuate silently. The "creaking" snow left a footprint. Avala walked between the teams, thinking about the next countermeasure with a gloomy face. He turned his head from time to time, looking at the village that once belonged to them in the distance, his gaze some unspeakable complex emotions

He made what he thought was the right choice, but he didn't notice...the hunters around him who were accustomed to "escape" had long since lost the fighting spirit they once belonged to as "warriors".

Because at this time, they don't even have the emotion of "frustration".

the next day.

The green smoke from the burning stove was blown away by the north wind, and when the sun reflected on the snow to illuminate the ground, the traces of the battle last night were clearly displayed in front of Rody.

The spilled blood extended from the distant slope all the way to the village, and the bodies of the snow monsters were scattered on the white and red ground. The tragic scene reminded Rody of the scene of attacking the village in the land of the orc kingdom.

"I really didn't think... this kind of problem is not solved by themselves."

After thinking all night and making revisions to many plans and ideas, Rody finally adjusted his mentality and stood on this icy land again as an "explorer" and "conqueror".

The 120 snow monsters occupying the village were completely slaughtered by the army like a steel meat grinder—with Akasha escorting them, the team did not suffer any losses, only the potions and weapons suffered. With firewood and warm houses, the team finally had a full rest. However, Roddy and Soderol discussed under the lights all night, and only then did they decide on all the next plans.

"When Emperor Kang En regained the lost land, those residents did not show any welcome. Those refugees are like this, let alone these guys."

Soderol, who was wearing a fur hat, rubbed his eyes, yawned and then tied his fur coat tightly: "If you want to cooperate, sometimes you can only rely on force. This time it can be regarded as a long memory."

"It should be because I have a long memory. To put it bluntly, I am preconceived." Rody did not shirk responsibility, and there is no need to talk too much nonsense about the friendship between the two. I am completely at ease: well trained, decisive before the battle, the "sharp blade" general in front of me already has the ability to break gold and rock.

The two were chatting outside, while Akasha was preparing breakfast in front of the fire in the house. The red charcoal radiated heat, making the room warm. Nata, who had been on guard outside, came back from her shift, and now she was sitting beside the fire. Unlike the outside, the two girls in the room seemed a little silent.

After going through similar battles many times, the two of them had already lost any emotion in their hearts. Nata slowly bent and straightened her fingers, relieving the stiffness caused by the low temperature. Akasha on the side noticed her movement, looked over, thought for a while, and raised her hand to release a magic spell.

In the faint light, her hands gradually returned to their original flexibility. Nata looked down, raised her eyes unnaturally, moved her lips a few times, and finally said, "Thank you."

For this beautiful but always silent wood elf, Akasha always had some misunderstandings before, but after getting along for a long time, she also understood that the relationship between the other party and Rody was not "ambiguous". If she can show kindness and friendliness, that's what she thinks she should do.

Smiling at Nata, she handed over a piece of bread, and immediately got up to call for Roddy, but just as she walked out of the room, the sergeant's order sounded from a distance: "Gather in one hour, get ready for marching."

Because of yesterday's hunting, Erwin got up a little late today, but after he put on the animal skin and walked out of the house, he felt that the atmosphere around him was not quite right.

This young barbarian warrior is full of passion for fighting, but knows nothing about "sophistication". To put it simply, he has a simple mind and strong limbs. He couldn't see the gloom surrounding the tribe, but felt that the chattering women were louder than ever:

"Those people killed hundreds of snow monsters..."

"The leader said he was going to grab their weapons, but in the end there was no way—"

"But it's a good thing, those snow monsters who robbed our village were all killed."

"What a good thing? What if those people come and kill us too?"

A few words came into his ears, and Erwin felt that something was wrong. He stopped and asked a few words, but after getting the answer, his expression suddenly changed: "Why...how did this happen?"

He was surprised at first, and then he looked angry, and rushed towards the leader's house without saying a word.

At this time, the two old hunters just came out of the house. Seeing Erwin's appearance, they immediately sensed that something was wrong. They stretched out their hands to stop them, but they were pushed away by the young warrior——

"I have something to ask the boss"

The barbarians don't care about the dignity of the old and the young, but they only pay attention to personal bravery. Although the two hunters are old, they are no longer Erwin's opponents. …

"What do you want to ask?"

Avala could hear Erwin's loud voice clearly, he stood up slowly, the whole room seemed to be narrowed because of his strong body.

"Why are you going to attack them? If it wasn't for the help of those people, at least four hunters would have died yesterday." The feeling of being deceived made Erwin very angry. What did they take for?"

"Watch your attitude."

The two hunters outside the house rushed in and grabbed Erwin's shoulders, but he shook his arms and threw them away without any convincing, and took a step forward with great momentum: "You have to give me an explanation."

Under the tense atmosphere, the two seemed to be about to fight in the next second, but at this moment there was an uproar outside the house, which made Erwin and Avala turn their heads...

"The guys are coming"
