Chapter 1177 281. This Victory in Winter
The horn of war is sounding in every corner of Sluit Province. As for these barbarians who came to the ice and snow tundra, the biggest mistake they made this winter is to gather together, form several huge teams, and go deep into Sluit. They plundered the southern part of the province. They were overly optimistic about the situation in previous years, and they believed that this year, the North Wind Army would still spend the whole winter quietly in the fortifications on the south bank of the Baixiang River as in previous years. The North Wind Legion sent thirty of the most elite Constructed Knights to wander around various areas in Sluyte Province.

In the past, the barbarians were scattered in various parts of Sluyte Province, and most of the encounters they encountered were local armed forces and knights in a certain city. There were very few defeats, which led these barbarian fighters from the extreme north of the ice and snow tundra to mistakenly believe that the knights in the northern province were such scumbags.

In recent years, with the announcement of magic traps and a series of hunting techniques for barbarians, and at the same time, the governors of various cities have increased the reward system for hunting barbarians, which directly led to many Demon hunters and high-level fighters in various cities in Sloit Province have stepped up again, forming some private falcon squads to be active around the outskirts of settled cities, and there have been a large number of cases of falcon killing barbarians in various cities .

The savages found that they would be easily hunted down by the Falcon Squad in Sloit Province after they were alone, so they gathered together and formed a large army with a number of thousands of people. In the early days of Special Province, some small towns and castles in the southern part of Sluyte Province were broken through with strong combat power, but they did not realize that the team had penetrated deep into the hinterland of Sluyte Province. The great strategic depth of the Knights of Arms.

In previous winters, the barbarian warriors were the most photographable lone wolves of the northern border in the mountains, and the residents of the northern border were a group of sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

But this winter, the barbarians who came from the ice and snow tundra turned into big white sheep with delicious meat, and the real wolves came from the thirty most elite knights of the North Wind Legion.

The Constructed Knights followed behind the barbarian brigade like a pack of wind wolves, biting these huge and bloated teams bit by bit, until the barbarians finally realized that they were too deep into Sluit province and wanted to shake off When the Constructed Knights returned to the ice and snow tundra, they realized that everything was so difficult. The way home was too long, and there were many obstacles on the way.

On the winter solstice in 2587 of the Grimm Empire, the North Wind Legion in Sloit Province in the north finally ushered in the biggest victory in recent decades. These barbarians who had lost their fighting spirit were scattered in the wilderness of the Northern Province, and many of them were hunted and killed by the hidden falcon squad. In the tundra, the weekend of the second week after the winter solstice turned into a full-scale rout.

The Northwind Legion in Sloit Province finally succeeded in driving a large number of barbarians out of the north.

According to incomplete statistics, more than [-] barbarian fighters fell on the way home.

……

I peeled off the crust of the hard snow with my hands, and the snow hidden underneath was as crystal clear as white granulated sugar. Under this layer of soft gravel-like snow, on top of a thick layer of black frozen soil, there grew lush and Needle-shaped wild onions, a trace of emerald-like fresh green emerges from the snowdrifts.

This kind of ice wild onion can only grow in the northern region, and only when the first snow in the cold winter covers the ground, will they sprout new shoots from the permafrost, and with the next few heavy snows covering the ground, A closed environment suitable for the growth of ice wild onions has been formed.

For many civilians in the Northern Province, iced wild onions are one of the few green leafy vegetables in winter. Whether it is cooking soup or frying meat, sprinkle a handful of iced wild onions on top when it comes out of the pan Crumbs, the unique delicious taste will be integrated into the soup at once.

Especially the yellow mutton soup will become extra delicious, and Noah likes to drink this kind of broth very much.

……

After staying in the wild in Sloit Province for nearly a month, Noah has grown a light beard around his lips.

This month's life in the snow made Noah gradually evolve from a handsome young magician aristocrat into a slovenly witcher.

He didn't have much to do every day, except wait for the barbarian warriors who ran in from outside the valley to fall into the trap, use fire magic to subdue the barbarians in the pit, or directly kill the barbarians in the pit, Just looking forward to what to eat for dinner.

For the rest of the time, he and Shirley Newman would hide in the snow cave and practice meditation together.

More than a month of living in the wild in the north allowed Noah to raise his magic level by one level and became a fourth-level magician. The difficult environment made Noah calm down and practice. This is not a bad thing for him .

Shirley Newman is by Noah's side every day. As long as Noah is by her side, Shirley doesn't care whether she lives in a gorgeous palace or in a freezing snow cave.

……

The barbarians were completely defeated in the Northern Province. The barbarians around the city of Nato will have to cross more than 700 kilometers of mountain roads before they can make a long trek to the south bank of the Benma River. However, they will have to bypass the city of El, which is full of falcons. The road was extremely rough.

The barbarian warriors went into the mountains and avoided the main canyon passages as much as possible, because many Falcon squads and Constructed Knights were ambushing around this important level, making the way home for the barbarians extremely bumpy , Many barbarians got into the mountains, trying to open up a new way home.

The ambush location of our team is in an extremely remote valley. Apart from the dense pine forest, there is only one steep ridge like the back of a bull. As long as the barbarian fighters walk into this mountainous area, unless they are determined to climb over This extremely dangerous mountain ridge, otherwise it is bound to pass through this valley.

Every day, savages pass through this remote valley.

When the savages saw only a few large footprints left on the snow in the valley, they would breathe out lightly at the mouth of the valley.

During the recent period, the hunting life of the barbarians in the north was undoubtedly the most painful. They were chased by the Construct Knights and the Falcon Squad like bereaved dogs, and fled around.

Many savages dare not take the big road, and go to remote valleys exclusively.

This valley is deserted, and the footprints of some companions pass through the valley, and there are no other traces around them, so their vigilance will be greatly reduced, and they will follow the footprints left by the savages who have passed here before.

As long as you walk into the valley, you will fall into my trap.

The terrain of the valley is like a huge funnel, but the slope is covered with a thick layer of snow. The barbarians who entered the valley stepped on the slope of the ice, and suddenly lost their center of gravity and fell down. It will slide into the pit along the ice track under the snow layer.

We stood outside the pit, and every time a barbarian fell in, Noah would stand on the edge of the pit with a slave contract magic scroll and ask these barbarians: submit or die.If the barbarians refused to give in, they would become the target of Noah's practice of fire magic.

And I manipulated ice magic to eliminate traces, and then quietly waited for the next barbarian.

If two or three barbarians came to the valley at the same time, and only one barbarian fell into a trap, Kalancuo would take ten orc warriors to chase the other barbarians.

Under the leadership of Kalantso, ten orc warriors would go out of the valley to hunt the barbarians every day. Their horsemanship was getting better and better every day, and the orcs could gain something almost every day.

With Deborah scouting the skies, few barbarians manage to escape the pursuit of these orc construct warriors.

In this icy and snowy environment, the fodder for the horses is not so easy to find. In order to prevent the horses from losing weight, Kalantso occasionally takes the orc warriors back to Xinliu Valley to get some beans and grains mixed into the hay to feed the horses. .

There are not many things I need to do every day in the snow cave. Apart from rearranging the ice and snow traps, I also need to draw magic pattern structures on the hard leather armor of the white rock rhinoceros, and find ways to make dinner more delicious.

I lived in this snow cave for nearly a month, and it is rare to have such ample time to concentrate on making magic pattern structures. In just one month, I buried myself in making 65 sets of white rock rhinoceros hard skins. Armor's 'Power of the Bear' magic pattern set, the number of orc warriors increased to 85 at once.

The non-stop rush to make these magic pattern structures has prompted me to use meditation to restore my magic power. My magic and other places have faint signs of breaking through the eighth level, but I don't want to enter the ranks of the ninth-level magician prematurely. So he could only find a way to suppress his mana and make the mana in the magic pool more condensed.

The magic spider silk ingots in Xinliu Valley are piled up like a mountain. The oldest giant spiders have all died, and now only the group of giant spiders we hunted in the spider camp last time are still spinning. It seems that it is necessary to do it again. Go to the plane of Yero and hunt a new batch of giant spiders to make up for the number of giant spiders in the silk reeling workshop.

Those Yelo natives seem to be very peaceful recently. The Yelo native women take turns working in the silk reeling workshop. Only they can endure the sour smell in the cave, while the men carry stones in the underground warehouse. The stones from the quarry have been continuously transported into the underground warehouse, and now these stones have filled several branch caves, and even the underground square has been stacked to the door of the underground wine cellar.

I haven't heard from Justus for a long time. When I was hunting barbarians in this valley, I also took time to go to the Tanton City Hotel on the plane of Hierro twice. Unfortunately, I failed to see him both times. Justus.

I haven't seen him since the last time he said that he would follow several large adventure groups to capture the spider camp. It seems that the hunting operation must not be going well, maybe something happened.

This made me a little worried. If I didn't take Noah to hunt barbarians in the northern valley, I even wanted to return to Tanton City with Kalanzo, Katerina and the tauren Luka. I didn't want Jia Something happened to Mr. Staces in the Hierro plane, but I asked the innkeeper about the adventure group. Tanton City has not received any bad news. It seems that things are still under control.

As for the orc village on the ground of Xinliu Valley, it is now a mess.

Because of the sudden increase of so many people, the old orc Zewang couldn't manage it, and the village needed to provide accommodation for the new orcs, so some houses had to be built.

In addition, more than 200 barbarian slaves were captured from the Northern Province and sent to Xinliu Valley one after another. The initial resettlement tasks required Lao Zewang to do it, and it was necessary to send people to send the barbarian slaves to the quarry almost every day. go over there.

Bernd was still in the mountains of Xinwillow Valley, training those barbarian slaves who were assigned heavy crossbows, and he didn't say how long it would take to come back. In fact, I think that instead of conducting field training in the mountains of Xinwillow Valley, it would be better to go directly to the Small-scale activities in the Black Forest on the Hiero plane can at least help me catch a batch of giant spiders in the Black Forest.

As for the giant magic crossbow bolts in the blacksmith shop, production is already facing a shutdown, mainly because the giant crossbow bolt arrowheads purchased from the North Duisburg blacksmith workshop have all been processed, and the two furnaces of Xinliu Valley blacksmith leather can only be used day and night. Stop rushing to make these bed crossbow bolts and arrows, and provide some raw materials for the magic pattern engraving machine.

As for the fire-focus magic rune plate and the miniature tornado rune plate, they are still being processed day and night. These ordinary copper plate materials can be bought in North Duisburg as long as you have money, so I have a lot in reserve.

……

The number of savages passing through this valley has decreased significantly in recent days, and sometimes only three or two savages entered the valley in a whole day.

So I counted the days and found that Tracy's wedding was only ten days away. In addition to the two days needed to return to El City, I also needed to prepare some wedding gifts for Tracy.

I discussed with Noah and decided to end this winter barbarian hunting operation.

On this morning, after having a hearty breakfast, the team simply packed their bags and left this remote valley.

We ran for two full days in the icy and snowy fields before we saw the airport tower on the edge of the city wall of El from a distance.

Outside the east gate of El City.

The two barbarian slaves pulling the sled have completed their mission. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, I have no way to open the portal of Xin Willow Valley.

They had no choice but to take them outside the gate of the east city. Kalancuo made the two barbarians with bound hands kneel in front of the barbarian Jingguan platform. , placed on the Beijing viewing platform together with the heads of many barbarians.

I found that many Falcon squads took the barbarian captives here for execution. This year's barbarian Jingguan is much bigger than previous years.

Moreover, many members of the Falcon Squad gathered together, some were chatting happily, and some were whispering in a low-key way, but it seemed that these Falcon Squads had gained something more or less, and everyone was discussing the strategic layout of Grand Duke Jingyue this winter , and how the Legion of the Northwind drove the barbarians from the North.

The North Wind Legion defeated the barbarian brigade in Sloit Province, and the prestige of the Aili family in Sloit Province was ignited to the peak.

It was something that no one thought of. As we all know, several generations of the head of the Northern Territory of the Aili family have been working hard for this. Unexpectedly, this matter was done by the young Duchess Jingyue.
