Chapter 227 Waiting for the Rabbit

The cold roared through the ice sheet, rolled 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 damn weather! The mercenary Luo Lai took out his favorite silver wine jug from his warm arms, unscrewed the lid with his almost frozen hand, and sent it to his blue lips to take a sip.

The spirits flowed down his throat into the stomach, bringing a warm feeling. He took a long breath and carefully covered the jug and put it back into his arms.

He rubbed his numb hands hard and grabbed the reins again. The mercenary turned around and shouted, "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 bribes to the city of Valen more than 200 miles away to provide supplies for the troops there.

This road is not easy to walk. The cold climate and thick snow in the far north are the biggest obstacles. Horses can't be used on the snow, and the snow camel has become the only means of transportation.

Under normal circumstances, it takes them about five days to complete a trip, during which they have to spend a night's rest in Hailan.

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

The Farea Empire has always been the most powerful supporter of the Far Northern Barbarians, because Farea is adjacent to the Kingdom of Bemon and has never stopped fear of orc invasion.

Therefore, the empire spared no effort to support the barbarians in the far north, leaving the Kingdom of Bimon untime. Although it is said that Rhea has to pay a lot of manpower and force for this every year, hundreds of years of peace and Ning seem to have proved the correctness of this strategy.

And this also gives mercenaries like Luolai a chance.

In the Falla Empire, which is full of elites, it is basically difficult for low-level warriors like Luolai to join the army, and the salary will not be very high. It is not easy to receive good tasks as a free reading mercenary.

If you are just willing to eat and drink enough to spend a little money, it may be a good choice to rely on a small aristocrat or businessman, but it is destined to be mediocre for a lifetime.

These are not what Rollei wants. In order for him to become a warrior, his family has exhausted almost all his financial resources, and now is the time for Rollei to repay.

So he responded to the imperial conscript without hesitation and went north as a mercenary to participate in the war between orcs and barbarians.

Although the harsh conditions of the Arctic Icefield are harsh and dangerous to join the war, the rich reward made Luo Lai grit his teeth and stick to it.

Of course, as a warrior of the human race, the position he can have in the barbarian army is not available at all in the Farea Empire. This 200-strong team is completely under his command, and he can get a lot of oil and water with his hands and feet.

After another year, you can save 10,000 gold coins and go back! He secretly swore in his heart that he would rather farm in the countryside and never drink the northwest wind here in the future, and let the barbarians and orcs go to hell!

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

In front of you is the Hailan Collection!

Luo Lai couldn't help smiling. Although the conditions of this ruined town are very bad, it is finally a place that can shield the wind and snow, which is at least much better than sleeping on the ice field.

At least there he can have a warm room to rest, as well as hot broth and bread for dinner.

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

The barbarian soldiers cheered at the same time. Although they had already adapted to the environment of the ice field, the long-distance transportation of the weight was still a chore. The two-day trek was exhausting, and only at the transit point in front of them could they have a good night's rest.

They accelerated their pace, and Hailanji was getting closer and closer, and they could see the snow-covered houses.

There is also a frost giant standing proudly in it.

Although he has seen it many times, when he saw the war puppet more than 20 feet high, Luo Lai's heart was still full of a sense of exclamation and security.

With such a big guy guarding Hailanji, he can completely put down his responsibility and have a good sleep at night to nourish his spirit to cope with the relatively dangerous trip of the next two days.

Driving the snow camel, he was the first to step into the Hailan collection.

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

The barbarian soldiers guarding the Hailan concentration did not line up to welcome them. They seemed to have disappeared, and there was a trace of tension in the air.

Is there something wrong here? Rolle thought subconsciously.

But he didn't worry much. There was nothing to be afraid of if the Frost Giant was stationed here, unless he was attacked by the enemy.

"Where have you all been?" He shouted at the Frost Giant, "What's going on here?"

When the Frost Giant heard his voice, he slowly turned around and took a big step forward.

The next moment, something completely unexpected happened to Luo Lai.

The Frost Giant suddenly raised his weapon, 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, his mind was blank.

I'm not your enemy!

Under the fierce wind, Luo Lai opened his mouth to defend loudly, but before his words rushed out of his throat, the mace had hit the top of his head fiercely!

Pang!

The fine iron weapon weighing nearly 1,000 pounds directly smashed the unlucky mercenary and his ** snow camel into meat sauce. The broken flesh and blood splashed everywhere, and he didn't even have a chance to dodge at all.

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

They pulled out their long bows, and the sharp arrows pointed at the at a loss of the barbarians!

Oh! Huh! Huh!

Arrows are flying. In just a few dozen steps, the barbarian warriors who were not prepared at all had no time to dodge. They screamed one by one or fell off the snow hunchback, or fell directly on the snow.

The red blood quickly stained the white earth, and the strong blood was permeated. The dying tragedy and the hissing of the snow camel were intertwined. The heavy transport team, which had just stepped into the Hailanji, suddenly fell into chaos.

The lurkers have been premeditated for a long time, only the first wave of attacks, and more than half of the 200 escort barbarian soldiers suffered casualties.

A few barbarians who narrowly escaped the attack pulled out their weapons and roared to launch a counterattack, but the frost giants next to them hit them one by one and directly smashed the two soldiers out!

Great Titan, what's going on? The surviving barbarian soldiers almost collapsed on the spot, and they couldn't figure out why the war puppet they were proud of helped the enemy.

The barbarians believe that the Frost Giant is an artifact given to them by the Titan God, so the Frost Giant is not only a war puppet for them, but also a totem and spiritual pillar in their hearts.

Barbarians believe that as long as the Frost Giant exists, their race will reproduce on the ice.

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

So these barbarians did not believe the facts in front of them at all. When the mace of the Frost Giant fell, they even stood still, their eyes full of despair and incredible.

And the Frost Giant was not soft-hearted because of their helplessness. He trampled a soldier under one foot, killed another with a stick, and ruthlessly harvested his life.

"Kill!"

Hundreds of soldiers rushed out from behind the archers and rushed to the enemy like a wolf.

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

click! [p>

The frost giant who stopped killing knelt on one knee, raised his chest armor with his left hand, and Leon, who controlled the war puppet, jumped down and landed firmly on the ground.

"Big boss!"

The rock hammer rushed over from the side with an excited face: "It's all done. Five prisoners were captured alive, and all the others were killed. None of us were injured!"

Jone all enemies, and there is no damage on your side! Leon nodded and was very satisfied.

Such a result is very normal. He captured Hailanji here to wait for the rabbit, waiting for the barbarian's heavy team to come to the door, and now he really caught a big rabbit sent to the door.

Nine hundred thunder beast warriors and a war puppet are unprepared. Under the sneak attack, if you can't win all the enemy's heavy squad, it's a strange thing.

"Let everyone clean up the battlefield, cut off all the corpses and bury them, and seize the time to ask for confessions!" Leon ordered, "We'll wait here for another two days!"

Rock Hammer nodded and immediately commanded the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

According to the previously obtained information, in addition to this transport team, there should be an airborne transport team returning from Wallen in the past two days, which is also a fat target.

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

I believe that it won't take much time for all the thunder beast warriors to match a snow camel, so their movement speed will be greatly improved.

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

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