Othua's War Banner

Chapter 457 0456: Dangerous Land

The burning boulder fell like a meteor, the sky was dark, and the flying hunter spread its fangs and passed over the spear.

The war horse passed the roaring Banga monster, the oily black armor, the swollen muscles shone with luster, and the magic mist dragged a shallow afterimage like an air wave steamed from sweat.

The frozen water that Ken is conquering is called [Srikanth Ice Lake].

This lake can only have running water in the midsummer season in southern Xinjiang. The frozen waves rushing up around it form an explosive enclosure. It is the most wild and beautiful lake in the north he has ever seen.

But Ken only had one thing on his mind:

Slaughter the biggest hunting leader entrenched here.

[Reward Mission: Bloody Knotty Worm]

The Zhenzeris tribe had enough combat power to deal with the huge cracks in the eastern battlefield, so Red Maple Heights re-divided most of the teams and opened up more areas to choose from.

Mr. Mahalu has been frantically discussed in the Red Maple Heights, and investigations into his identity are also being carried out among various tribes and kingdoms.

However, Ken established a mercenary arbitration tribunal in Ambera Ice Port, coupled with the escort of the black market and the captains of the beast sailboats, the clues that circulated basically pointed to the [Golden Shield Mercenary Guild].

As the speaker, Quinny Pandis, cooperating with Baiwujia's information chain, fabricated an almost fake identity in Southern Xinjiang.

The lies they concoct are nearly invulnerable, yet vague enough to satisfy even the most suspicious of potential forces.

As the second time to lead a personal expedition, the scale of mercenaries is already shockingly large.

[Mercenary reputation: 2766]

[Palotus is discussing your name more than the team with the guild badge. When you recruit a team, you can recruit more powerful companions, and there is a chance that you will attract some people with unique skills to follow you forever. 】

Ken is very clear, although he has a high reputation.

But the mercenaries are all adventurers who are unwilling to be bound by rules and forces. They may admire you from the bottom of their hearts, respect you, and are willing to do some difficult things for you, but if you ask them if they want to follow...

"Sir, I would rather focus on the business at hand, sorry."

You will probably get this answer.

Ken is determined to make good use of his reputation as a mercenary to play a role in Roxani's large-scale invasion. According to the description in the remarks, the performance of each enlistment will affect some people, which can increase the success rate of recruiting soldiers.

A wave of people, including Collins, already have the idea of ​​​​following themselves.

It's a good start, so keep going.

Ken didn't pick his battlegrounds blindly.

His most honorable team at present is the knife and ax team brought over from the Ambera Ice Port. At present, they have all changed from idle port thugs to disciplined [Northern Bravery].

If the team wants to continue to advance and catch up with the configuration of other tribes as soon as possible, they must have sufficiently sophisticated weapons and equipment.

During Luo Jia's investigation in the Red Maple Heights, he accidentally discovered a reward announcement.

Vasili Workshop offers a reward for the knotty insects on the [Srikanth Ice Lake], and wants to bring back the spine with the best middle quality to the southern border countries, and dedicate it to the leader of a certain subsidiary kingdom to become his A valuable gift at the coronation ceremony.

They came to Hongfeng Heights with the mentality of exchanging and learning forging skills.

As the forging master of the southern border faction, Vasili Workshop's reputation still has a certain influence. Due to the current tense situation, it is actually not very convenient for people from the northern border tribes to take this commission.

So when Lorgar said that he could bring the news to "Mr. Maharu", the other party resolutely gave up the idea of ​​publishing it.

Ken's purpose in choosing this [Private Reward] is simple:
The other party will provide a batch of [Abdullah Cold Iron] of excellent quality, the quantity is very considerable. For the southern border plain where the base camp of Vasili workshop is located, this item is not too valuable, but it is indeed rare in the northern border forging materials.

It is clearly marked in the reward that they are willing to charge a certain fee to process the finished product on their behalf.

The craftsmanship of Vasili's workshop is almost impeccable. Under the temptation of such conditions, the hunting leader far above the frozen lake seems to have become less terrifying.

The reason why Ken believed in the other party so much was because when he first left Thornton Kaya to venture out, he once seized an [Albert Battle Armor] among the trophies of the gangsters.

It has accompanied Ken through life and death several times, and it is still being maintained and repaired in Arthur's hands.

Most of the equipment named after the name of the forger contains the confidence and pride of the craftsman. The full name of the author of this armor is...

Vasily Albert.

The founder of Nanjiang Plain Workshop, the master of traditional self-cultivation knight armor.

The person who came to the Red Maple Heights this time was his son, the old "little Vasily".

Ken decided to eat the order, so he announced when he set out that the team he personally led would only charge ordinary merit points, and the rest would be used to reward those who accompanied the business.

Mercenaries are easily motivated by rewards.

They set out from the west and went upstream along the frozen waterway, harvesting the heads of countless birds and beasts along the way.

【Number of teams: 1125】

Since Ken left Ambera Ice Port, he had never commanded such a large team. When they gathered outside the Red Maple Heights, they even surprised the tribal troops entering and leaving.

People from the northern border did not dare to approach easily, and many flags finally changed directions and entered the city.

The rules formulated by the Battle Banners are to assemble the team on the inner defense line, that is, where they can receive free treatment. That is to say, the kingdom army or a huge force like the Beishan Alliance must place the main camp on the outside of the dome.

It's no wonder that when Ken gathered idle mercenaries, they thought it was a kingdom in the southern border that broke the rules.

There are a lot of law enforcement officers gathered around the street.

Frengundo's sensitive nerves are constantly being challenged, and because of Selena's guarantee to Ken, the revealer is now also criticized in the ruins.

City knows this feeling best.

On the one hand, she was amazed at Ken's ability to attract followers, on the other hand, she finally understood why the other party deliberately kept a distance from her.

If the Beishan Alliance is entangled with such a large number of people in southern Xinjiang, it will be easily misunderstood as a cooperative relationship.

This is what Palotus is most taboo about now.

……

Ken's thoughts went back to the surrounding ice lake.

There are many special occupations in the team.

Beams from the Starter pierced the darkened sky, brushing against the splatter of burning boulders, and the safari shattered deep rock formations as it emerged from the ground.

The magic vein in the north was cut off.

The powerful force rushed along with the boiling water in the dark river meters above the feet of everyone.

When the team marches on the land covered with ice slag, there will be a lump of soil around it from time to time, and then the steam will burn the hooves of the soldiers or mounts, and even if they are unlucky and step on the fragile connecting line in the middle, they will be directly blown away stand up.

"He's not dead yet, don't just watch!"

When Ken passed by, he raised his hand and smashed the huge ice block that was sent high into the air by the current.

The assassin threw out the hook and lock to build a swinging grid, flew into the air and brought the person back to the ground.

The magician began to chant, and the heavy cavalry raised their large shields and moved forward, blocking the remaining fragments and the insidious weapons thrown by the hunting fall lurking in the shadows.

Members with healing skills are arranged in a straight line and scattered at each node of the team snake from front to back.

Specially mobile light cavalry were responsible for leading them around, chaotic chants came and went, and potions for restoring magic power were thrown around like sandbags.

Ice cones kept falling from the impact cliff next to them.

The temperature makes the solid mountain body active, and those collapsed parts can bury alive the mercenary group passing through below.

Ken rode his war horse through the most dangerous area, and there were many hidden hunters waiting for his opportunity above. What was even more dangerous was the trembling ice under his feet, which kept cracking.

Since entering this lake, the tide of undead behind him has become more and more fierce.

The hunting and falling leaders are all selected powerful creatures. The ancient curse has strengthened their consciousness and even endowed them with certain wisdom.

Although this outflanking strategy seems a bit simple and popular, it becomes effective after adding the underground changes.

The mercenaries are particularly uncomfortable.

The first half of this trip made a lot of money. I didn't expect to encounter such an embarrassing situation when I was close to the final destination.

Ken tightened the reins, and by virtue of his sprint and superb riding skills, he even directly crossed the solid ice barrier higher than Lowndes, and rushed to the depression below the cliff.

The abilities that the Ring of the Code bestows upon the mount are astounding.

Ken threw [Morning and Twilight] out with a flick of his hand, and the spinning battle ax hit a cloud of ice foam.

The communication barrier between him and the team disappeared.

When the warlocks saw Mr. Maharu again, they all became more confident.

Ken didn't have time to exchange greetings, so he yelled directly:
"Shrink the team to the middle, we will knock down these annoying flies above, and move forward at full speed, the archers and magicians must cheer up, and let these animals taste our power!"

He galloped down the rocky road, dodging deadly attacks that brushed past him.

Valery's northern warriors scattered among them played a role, and each began to command the troops, shrinking the bloated crowd into a tighter line, and dispatched the strongest heavy cavalry to open the way ahead.

Kuima disappeared into the crowd and rode backwards on Feilang, responsible for intercepting the pursuers and increasing the overall speed of the team.

The iron hooves of war horses trampled on the ice, and the poisonous needles, thorns, and inexplicable magic shotguns shot by hunting monsters all lost their effect in front of the works of the ancient dwarf emperor.

Ken had never felt so wanton.

Now he can't wait to fly back to [Thornton Kaya], summon the Wolf King Fei, and then put on the armor given by the [Ring of Laws].

Ken also broke out with high fighting enthusiasm.

He dodges to the right, moving sideways at high speed in an extremely difficult posture.

Dawn and Dusk flew back to his hand from the chaotic flesh, and then drew a huge crack with frost mist against the hard cliff.

If you look carefully at the traces left behind, you can find a shining blue streamer inside.

Ken waited until the team had shrunk to a sufficient distance, then switched the battle ax to the other hand, and with a deep breath, he began to quietly mobilize the great power of the old god contained in the [Evidence of Battle Banner].

The huge magic booster was put on the Frost Whisperer, and the entire cliff began to recondense along the crack that was drawn just now.

"Lonzi, break it open for me!"

Ken raised his head and roared towards the dense crowd.

Immediately afterwards, there were dense vibrations on the chaotic battlefield, and the Monroe wild boar seemed to sense something, and it stepped forward with its own hooves to crush the tide of hunting corpses desperately.

The laughing giant was waving the heavy battle ax in his hand, the blood that emerged from his body was clear and compelling, and even had a hot and surging feeling.

He and the Monroe Boar directly smashed through the wave barrier with their bodies.

When Ken looked back, he just stared at the two of them like this - the speed did not slow down at all, with some kind of powerful impact force, he was slamming on the frozen wall with cracks, accompanied by the roar And the smoke and dust that exploded directly entered the depression of the mountain.

Langz broke free from the messy stones and ice, and swung his ax round.

[Legend: Noren's Avalanche]

He directly condensed all his blood on the weapon, and then slammed with all his strength towards the huge crack in the wall.

The whole cliff is crumbling.

The mercenaries ran forward crazily, and the movement around them made people panic. No one thought that the group of people following Mr. Maharu would be so powerful.

But this also proves that he is not a guy with a name in vain, but a character who can really train his subordinates to become heroes.

Quema drove the team into a relatively safe area from behind.

The entire cliff began to disintegrate in the spider web-like cracks, and then collapsed downwards, crushing the chasing hunting army behind them in dust and ice slag.

The magicians were already ready to chant, and all the skills they had prepared turned backwards in unison.

The monsters that fell from above, as well as the birds and beasts that swooped down to prepare for a sneak attack, received the rain of skills that had been brewing for a long time.

The roaring sound and the flickering light almost changed the color of the entire lake.

Ken landed lightly with the horse.

Huge vines swung spiky branches from the cliff towards his head.

He took a big step with his steed.

The vines smashed the ice slab into a splash of white sand.

Just as Ken was about to draw his weapon and peel off the monster's branches, several fireballs fell on it.

The rear team has stabilized their position. Today's group of mercenaries are very powerful. They don't need extra care, and they can even help themselves.

[Hunting Invasion: Liberation of Srikanth Ice Lake]

[Progress: Bloody Knotty Worm 0/1]

[Description: Although you have resolved the crisis, the team is also trapped in the middle of the lake. Fierce monsters are about to appear, and the final decisive battle is coming. 】
