Chapter 316: Great Victory at Curling Pass, Ancient Snake Wizard, Ye Zhi: You are the Challenger! (10k monthly ticket requested)
Curling level.

Dark clouds rolled and hail hit the desolate battlefield.

The biting cold wind was filled with a strong smell of blood, the blood-stained snow was littered with orc corpses, and the trenches were filled with broken debris.

On the second day after the army completed its assembly, Grimm gave the order for the vanguard to launch a fierce attack on Curling Pass.

Orcs often lack siege equipment and can only use their flesh and blood to forcibly break through the pass. Even so, there are still many records in the history of the Golden Lion Kingdom of the Curling Pass being forcibly broken through by orcs.

Phocas sat on the top of the city wall and personally commanded the city defense.

After yesterday's charge, the general of the orc vanguard camp was killed by Phocas, and the morale of the defenders was greatly boosted.

Although Fokas was besieged by several hunters, fortunately, he only suffered minor injuries.

The situation for Axel is not optimistic.

In order to help Phocas block the hammer thrown by Grim, he punched hard and was hit by the thunder, which crippled his right arm. Thanks to his wife who was good at moonlight magic and received timely treatment, he barely saved his arm, but his fighting ability would be greatly reduced for a long time.

Fortunately, the balance of the battlefield has tilted towards Curling Pass, the morale of the orcs has been visibly weakened, and the pressure on the city defense has been reduced.

Although Chief Grim was furious, he did not take action himself. Instead, he kept ordering his soldiers to push forward, trying to find out the unknown Five Rings power in the city.

In fact, for tribes, population is often a burden, and war can consume population and greatly reduce the pressure from food shortage.

Chief Glem watched coldly as his fellow tribesmen died.

The orc warriors saw this scene. Although they dared not speak out their anger, they had already harbored resentment in their hearts.

On the second night of the city defense battle, two deserters were found in the orc camp. The next morning, they were escorted to Chieftain Grim's tent, skinned and hanged, and the tribesmen were terrified.

On the third day of the attack and defense, the intensity of the siege was even stronger. The trenches were almost filled with corpses, but the casualties to the defenders were minimal.

Firstly, there was a lack of doctors in the orc camp, and most of the wounded could only rely on the orcs' strong physique to heal themselves. The group of field doctors organized by the vampire doctor Lisa greatly reduced the mortality rate just by knowing how to clean the wounds and disinfect.

On the other hand, Princess Theresa demonstrated excellent material management skills. Every defender was given the appropriate clothing, rations, and weapons. Even though their individual strength was far inferior to that of the orcs, with everyone working together, the Curling Pass showed tenacious fighting spirit.

At dusk on the third day, the orcs withdrew their troops, leaving behind a pile of corpses on the battlefield. The biting cold wind froze the faces of every orc.

Taking advantage of the temporary lull in the fighting, Theresa secretly climbed up the city wall and witnessed the tragic scene of blood and flesh flying, broken bones and tendons, and almost felt nauseous.

Theresa suppressed her nausea and wrapped herself in a woolen cloak. Her golden hair fluttered in the cold wind. Her thin cheeks turned pale from the cold wind. She pursed her cracked lips, and her deep blue eyes were filled with stubbornness.

"Your Highness."

An old voice sounded.

Theresa grabbed a corner of the cloak with both hands and wrapped it tightly in front of her. She turned around and saw Phocas walking towards her.

"The orcs may attack at night, which is still very dangerous." Phocas advised.

"It's okay." Theresa smiled haggardly, "Let me take a few more looks."

"They are just miserable scenes, what's there to see?" Phocas was puzzled.

"It is precisely because of these tragic scenes that I have to keep watching."

Theresa's lips turned pale, her eyes flickered, and she whispered softly:
"If you stay in a high position for a long time, you will forget the importance of life... Now, I understand the meaning of my father's words."

Phocas was surprised by the strong character of the weak girl in the cold wind. He thought to himself that she was worthy of being the daughter of the Lionheart King.

Standing in silence, the cold wind howled.

Phokas spoke up, took the initiative to mention Yeats, and said:

"The young master has crossed the dangerous mountains, penetrated deep into the enemy camp, cut off the food supply, and burned all the baggage. Now... he is outflanking the orcs and heading towards the Ice Pot Pass!"

Theresa's beautiful eyes flashed with deep surprise.

Hearing these words, she seemed to see Ye Zhi's figure shuttling through the snow-capped mountains, darkness, and sea of ​​fire suddenly appear before her eyes!
"The Duke of Honeysuckle is indeed a man of great courage and insight..." Theresa's tone was filled with deep admiration.

Phocas looked towards the silent orc camp, his tiger eyes gleaming with light.

"Now, the orc army has run out of food and grass. No matter how much pressure Grim puts on them, they can't stop fleeing... Tens of thousands of troops will soon collapse without a fight!"

Theresa's heart was beating fast. Following Phocas's gaze, she seemed to see the orcs fleeing in all directions.

Unbelievable.

Even when my father was facing the iron hooves of orcs, he was not as able to move freely in the enemy's hinterland as Ye Zhi!

Theresa thought that this was an achievement that would shock the North. After this battle, the prestige of the Duke of Honeysuckle would spread throughout the borders of the two kingdoms of the North and the Golden Lion!

"The young master has instructed me that as soon as I see the orcs fleeing, I should send his pet, the Snow Owl, out to lure Grim to the coastal valley in the south... He has already set up an ambush there."

Phokas's eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice:
"When Grim dies, it will be the day of the young master's triumphant return!"

*
Orc camp.

"What did you say? There's no food left!"

"Reply, reply to the chieftain, there has been no news from the baggage train for two days, and the army has run out of food. There is nothing left to eat..."

In the tent, Grim picked up the shield hanging on the wall and smashed it on the face of an orc who was kneeling on the ground to report. His eyes were bloodshot and he said angrily:

"Then let's smash open that damn city gate! Once we get through the Curling Pass, those humans will be our meals!"

The orc's face was covered in blood, and he said bitterly: "Master Chief, we are all starving. We don't even have the strength to walk, let alone resist the guns... How can we continue to attack the city?"

The next moment, the orc's eyes widened in horror as the burly Glem grabbed his neck and lifted him up like a chicken.

"Are you questioning me?" Grimm's eyes were bloodshot. "Or do you think that even you have the qualifications to talk back at me?"

"I dare not, Lord Chief, I just, just..."

Bang——

The orc's life force quickly drained away, his pupils dilated, and he was thrown away by Glem with a bang, knocking over the brazier in the tent. A burning smell quickly filled the tent.

Gleim sniffed and his Adam's apple rolled.

Even a five-ring transcendent needs to drink water and eat food... Grim hasn't eaten for a week, and he still has strength in his body, but he still feels hungry.

The army was short of food, and Grim, the chief, was well aware of it. After all, the main reason for the orcs' expedition was the winter famine, and the military rations that could be allocated were already the limit.

And now, for some unknown reason, there is still no news from the baggage train in the rear.

Even Chief Grimm felt that his sanity was at its limit. If the supplies didn't arrive...

Orcs do not eat their own kind.

But like humans, there are also Cheng Yu and Hannibal.

Smelling that strange smell, Grim's temples throbbed, blood-red tattoos appeared on his arms and face, flashing with strange rune light, and his eyes had turned blood red.

"Master Chief, something bad has happened!"

The herald stumbled into the tent.

Grim sat on the chieftain's throne covered with wolf skin, leaned forward, put his huge hands on his strong legs, and said coldly:
"What happened, so flustered?"

The herald choked up and said:

"News just came back from the rear, the baggage train responsible for transporting food was completely wiped out!"

Grimm's eyes suddenly widened, and he stood up from the throne in an instant. For the first time, a look of shock appeared on his ferocious face, and he said:
"What did you say?! Explain it to me clearly!!"

The herald explained everything:

"Last night, a human who called himself the Duke of Honeysuckle led nearly a thousand Frostwolf cavalrymen to attack the Kodo pack caravan and the Centaur troops responsible for transporting food, and burned all the baggage... Now, we have no supplies!"

"The Duke of Honeysuckle? The Chosen One of Art?"

Gleim was stunned for a moment, then he became furious and said:
"But how is this possible?! Our army has already stopped the humans, not even a bird can fly over. How did these cavalry get behind us? Did they fall from the sky?!"

The herald said bitterly:

"That hateful human deliberately sent us a captured warrior to mock us! The warrior said that the Duke of Honeysuckle crossed the Silver Crown Peak without anyone noticing, and cut off our retreat!"

"Silver Crown Peak?"

Grimm murmured, then widened his eyes in disbelief. His towering body shook, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Silver Crown Peak! There are blizzards there all year round. Even eagles have a hard time flying over there, but that human managed to climb over it!"

"Frostwolves are good at climbing mountains, and it is difficult to find their tracks in the snow. Duke Honeysuckle even deliberately took a long detour to avoid being discovered by our falcons and hounds."

The herald said in despair: "Humans are so cunning!"

Even someone as arrogant as Grimm has to admit that when it comes to being smart, humans are still the best.

That poet chosen by God did not act according to common sense. He even did something as suicidal as climbing over the Silver Crown Peak... The key point is, he actually succeeded!
Grim's face turned pale and blue, and he clenched his fists tightly, unaware of his nails piercing his palms. He gritted his teeth and whispered:

"Where is Emperor Rong? Is he dead, or is he too embarrassed to come see me?"

The herald stumbled:

"Chief Dirong was no match for that human. He lost the duel and then surrendered to that human... Now, he has led his people to abandon the expedition and return to his tribe!"

Glem was so angry that his eyes turned red in an instant.

Emperor Rong Leihoof, the extremely arrogant centaur warrior in his memory, who refused to obey anyone except his ancestors, even he bowed his head to Ye Zhi? !
"Impossible!" Grim said fiercely, "This must be a lie he made up to disrupt our alliance. I have seen through this human trick!"

"But, according to the news from the tribe, the tribesmen who stayed in the tribe have seen Di Rong leading his army back in disgrace." The herald officer said bitterly, "Di Rong betrayed us, this is probably true!"

Grimm was silent for a long time, his eyes red, and he took a deep breath.

Grimm had no choice but to accept the tragic truth. He felt angry but also a little regretful.

In the final analysis, we underestimated the damn chosen one!
At this point, Grim calmed down and said in a low voice:

"Pass the order down. No one is allowed to leave the camp without my order. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!"

Without supplies, the army either had to fight to the death to break through the Ice Pass or just wait for death.

"There's no time left to waste with those cowards."

Grimm said sternly: "Today I will personally go into battle and break this curling barrier!"

*
The Duke's feat of cutting off the orcs' food supply and burning all their baggage in one fell swoop had spread throughout Curling Pass at the suggestion of Fokas.

Excited, shocked, admired...

The defenders who followed Yeats all the way were all in awe!
When humans face orcs, they can often only fortify their defenses and shrink their lines.

How could one be as carefree as the Duke, leading the cavalry over mountains and across rivers, plundering the enemy's rear like fire, coming and going like the wind!
Every defender knew that the orcs were already trapped beasts with green eyes due to hunger. As long as they could hold out for their last struggle, they would be able to see the dawn of victory!
at the same time.

The orcs also learned the bad news of running out of food, and the reputation of the Duke of Honeysuckle gradually spread in the orc camp.

Since ancient times, only orcs have plundered humans, but today they are being ridden over by humans.

The morale, which had already fallen into an ice valley, suffered another heavy blow!
Grimm's tyrannical rule eventually worked.

He ordered the three armies to attack the city alone today!

In this desperate moment, the orcs saw a glimmer of hope from the chief.

Although Grim is cruel, he is indeed the strongest warrior in the tribe! As long as he can break through the pass, the problem of food shortage will be gone!
However, if Glem showed even a hint of weakness during the siege, the army would completely collapse.

After experiencing the incredible actions of the Duke of Honeysuckle, the orcs' psychological defenses hit rock bottom and they could no longer withstand any more blows!
City defense battle, fourth day.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The fierce sound of military drums echoed on the grim battlefield.

Grim walked out of the square alone and stood under the frozen city wall. He raised a war hammer in his hand and showed a contemptuous smile towards Phocas above the pass.

"Come on, let your strongest one come out and fight me, or I'll go in and find him directly!"

Phocas's face was grim.

Fighting alone, he and Axl together are no match for Grimm.

But just like the Golden Lion Kingdom’s guardian beast, the Fiery Sun Fighting Lion... there is also a powerful monster in this Curling Level!

The battlefield was grim and a war was about to break out. Grim turned his neck with a "crack", as if smiling, and threw the hammer that was condensed with the power of thunder before anyone could react!

Rumble!
The war hammer rushed straight towards the city gate with a thunderous roar, but was intercepted by an invisible magical force.

A snow-white owl appeared above the city gate.

"Gu!" The snowy owl spread its wings, and looked down at Grim below with proud yellow eyes.

It looks like a cute creature, but it exudes the power of an emperor-level monster!

hum-

Arcane energy spread out from its body like a torrent, gathering into huge arcane meteors and falling towards Grim!
Grimm raised his eyebrows, but did not look down on him because of his appearance. After all, there were many mages and druids who were good at transfiguration.

And this terrifying arcane energy ranks first among all the mages Grim has ever seen!
"So, this is the source of the Five Rings' aura..."

Grimm grinned, revealing a ferocious smile. Suddenly, the ice under his feet was deeply cracked, and a gust of air burst out, leaping high into the sky!
Dark clouds rolled in and hail kept falling. The soldiers on both sides looked up at the sky above the gray clouds and witnessed the battle between heroes with different expressions.

"Isn't that the Duke's magical pet?"

"Your Excellency the Duke is also good at taming animals!"

"He is the same chosen one as the Duke, and he is also the chosen one of the Goddess of Magic!"

The defenders were excited.

On the other side.

The orcs were shocked when they saw that humans had sent a magical beast to duel with Chief Grim.

"This is an insult to the tribe!"

"Humph, didn't you see that arcane magic just now? I don't think we can win!"

"If even Grim is going to lose, then we should run away quickly..."

The morale of the orc army is low.

Above the sea of ​​clouds, there were lightning and thunder.

Grim's hammer lit up with thunder, and streaks of lightning shot out from the hammer, cutting through the sky, illuminating the dark clouds, and sending sparks through the clouds. The horrifying lightning was about to engulf the Snowy Owl!

The Snow Owl looked normal, with a deep black load ball condensed on each of its wings, which was filled with violent ancient magic power, and it seemed like it was about to explode like fission!
Glem frowned slightly. Having been exposed to witchcraft before, he had some knowledge of the ancient magic inherited from the old era. He was surprised to sense a familiar breath.

"Where did you learn ancient magic?!"

The Snowy Owl's eyes were bright: "Gu!"

Self-taught!

boom! !

The load ball collided with the thunder from the hammer, and the terrifying light illuminated the entire sea of ​​clouds, making it look like daylight! The air waves spread out, blowing the armies of both sides who looked up in shock. The orcs' already ignited fire of hope was ruthlessly extinguished by this arcane torrent that was no less powerful than Grimm's!

Seeing that Grimm could not easily eliminate the enemy's city-guarding monsters, and facing the threat from the defenders of Curling Pass, the orcs began to flee one after another due to hunger and cold!
Once the signs of collapse begin, they will spread like an avalanche and cannot be stopped!

Even Phocas, standing on the top of the city wall, was moved when he saw the orc army, which was always known for its fearlessness of life and death, turning around and fleeing.

Even when he followed the Duke of Brondi, Phocas had never seen such a scene...

And under Ye Zhi's step-by-step calculation and execution, the beastman army has collapsed!
Above the clouds.

When Gleim saw the warriors of his tribe abandon him and run away, he looked at him with a complicated look and said coldly:
"Hmph...After I deal with you, I'll let them learn a lesson from my methods!"

next moment.

Dark red runes appeared on Grim's neck and arms, and his eyes became brighter red.

The rune flashed a strange red light, making Gleim look like a ghost. He said in a fierce voice:

"This is... the power that comes from witchcraft!!"

Witchcraft formed its own system in the old era, and was also divided into two categories: wizards and warriors. Therefore, there was not only potion learning, but also means of physical training.

The principle is to use the body as a carrier of runes and imprint runes on the body, using runes rather than fighting spirit to stimulate soul power.

Since this will cause great pain to the body and make people lose their minds, this method has long been regarded as taboo.

Relying on the orc's powerful physique, Grim endured the side effects of the runes, and his body became like a tempered alchemical creation, becoming even more powerful!
Snow Owl glanced at the runes on Grim with contempt: "Gu~"

You haven't mastered the witchcraft to the highest level yet!
A spherical area spreads out with the snowy owl as the center, and the faint light of stars shines in the area.

Being in this small realm, Grimm felt that his abundant power was being forcibly drained away.

There was surprise in his eyes!
"what have you done?!"

The goddess of magic blesses and seals the spell!
In this sealed area, spells originating from the magic network will be forcibly sealed.

And witchcraft that originates from ancient magic will also be restricted!
This was the first time Grimm had encountered such a situation since he mastered the power of witchcraft, and he was terrified!
Even though the power of witchcraft was restricted, Grim could still withstand the thunder with his strong physique.

Grim raised the hammer in his hand and roared:
"God of Thunder and Storms, please lend me a hand!" Boom!

Branch-like lightning flashed continuously, thunder exploded, and rolling lightning struck Grim on the head, directly swallowing him!
The breath of annihilation spread, severe pain tortured Grim's nerves, but he laughed wildly and madly, the red light of runes and the blue lightning of thunder on his body overlapped, and his breath continued to rise!
Snowy Owl narrowed his eyes and heard Ye Zhi's message in his ears.

"That's it, Snowy Owl, lead him over to me!"

After receiving the order from Ye Zhi, the Snow Owl fought and retreated, and its figure flew across the dark sea of ​​clouds at a high speed! Grim was already blood-curdling, and he would not give in. He leaped into the air, leaving a trail of lightning behind him!

The battlefield between the two five-ring warriors has moved from above the Curling Pass.

In the eyes of the desperate orcs, it was the last hope, and Chief Grim was the first to escape.

Phocas stood on the top of the city wall, overlooking the fleeing orcs, frowning slightly, wondering whether to open the city to meet the enemy.

At this time, rumbling thunder came from the end of the horizon.

Hundreds and thousands of Frostwolf cavalrymen, majestic and awe-inspiring, charged from the rear of the orc army!
Phocas' eyes showed intense excitement. He raised the sword in his hand and said in a stern voice:

"Open the city! Meet the enemy!"

The Snowy Owl lured Grim to a desolate coast.

Grey waves crash against pale rocks.

Glem looked at the snowy owl perched on the reef, only to see the raging waves whipping up foam several feet high behind it.

"Why don't you run away?" Grimm asked, "Are you ready to die?"

"I should have said this!"

The young duke, riding a majestic snow leopard, stood on the cliff, his red cloak fluttering in the wind.

Grimm was stunned. The figure in front of him gradually overlapped with the description in the rumors. He said coldly:

"Are you going to challenge me too? Duke Honeysuckle?"

Thunder roared in the sky, and lightning illuminated his resolute face.

Ye Zhi drew his sword and pointed, saying:
"It's me, giving you the chance to challenge me!"

The orc's ferocious face became distorted, and he said with venom in his voice:

"If it weren't for you... those ignorant and cowardly guys wouldn't have betrayed me..."

"But, it doesn't matter."

Grim said grimly:

"When I twist off your head, they will know how wrong it is to defy my will!!"

The bloody will of a tyrant formed a real pressure on Yeats' shoulders.

Yeats's expression remained calm and he said with a smile:
"You? An orc bewitched by witchcraft? How pitiful that you are a pawn without knowing it, and dare to invade my territory... Let me send you off!"

The voice contained the magic of malicious words, like thousands of needles piercing Gleim's heart. His face turned pale, and he roared, saying:
"That's enough! Human with sharp teeth, come and fight me!"

Although he was shouting for a duel, Grim had already thrown out the Thunder Hammer, which streaked across the sky like a meteor, carrying rolling thunder and bombarding Yeats head-on!

Ye Zhi was well prepared. He raised the Silver Oak Sword and used the "Combat Skill: Disarmament" to knock the Thunder Hammer away.

Boom!
The thunder hammer spun several times in the air, then smashed beside Ye Zhi's feet, with the hammer body deeply embedded in the ground!

Grimm's face changed slightly.

This hammer retains a trace of the divinity of the god of thunder and storm, and has the ability of "advanced spinning". Even if it is thrown out, it can always return to the hands of the holder.

However, there was something strange about the sword in the human's hand. The moment he touched the sword, the violent divinity of the god of thunder actually became weak!

Grim stretched out his hand hard, trying to summon back the Thunder Hammer.

Ye Zhi stepped on the thunder hammer.

No matter how Grim stretched out his hand, the warhammer did not move at all, which made Grim's expression even uglier.

The next moment, Gleim's eyes widened, and he saw Yeats slowly reaching out towards the hammer handle, as if he was going to lift up his beloved hammer!

"Don't do anything stupid!"

Grim sneered, "The Thunder Hammer will only recognize powerful tribal warriors. How can a pedantic bard like you lift it?"

Ye Zhi: “…”

He placed his five fingers on the handle of the Thunder Hammer and slowly tightened it. At the same time, an electric current burst out from the handle, wrapping around the entire hammer, trying to defy Yeats's will.

Ye Zhi smiled contemptuously, grabbed the Thunder Hammer and lifted it up easily!

Grimm was puzzled, with astonishment in his eyes, and said in disbelief:

"How on earth did you do that?!"

At the beginning, in order to gain the recognition of the Thunder Hammer, Grim went through three full days of thunder and lightning tests before he successfully held it in his hands.

However, it took the human only a moment to make the Thunder Hammer surrender!

Ye Zhi said calmly: "Just having hands will do."

Combat Skill: Poet's Grip!

This move called "Poet's Grip" can even use the enemy's weapons for your own use!
Ye Zhi held the Thunder Hammer, weighed it in his hand, and swung it back and forth like a meteor hammer. The Thunder Hammer not only did not resist, but also emitted a bright light, as if it was quite useful!
Grimm's eyelids twitched wildly, and he roared with resentment:

"enough!"

Grimm's legs were wrapped in thunder, he leaped into the air, and with a fierce whip kick, he whizzed towards Ye Zhi!

Ye Zhi raised his eyebrows, threw the thunder hammer in his hand, urged the moonlight sword, drew a silver arc, and collided with Grim's whip kick.

boom! !

Catching the spinning hammer, Ye Zhi looked at Grim who was knocked back several meters by the hammer and nodded with satisfaction:
"Your weapon is quite useful...Now it belongs to me!"

Gleim's temples were throbbing wildly.

How can there be such shameless human beings!

What about the moonlight just now... How could he cast a moonlight spell with the Thunder Hammer? !

Grimm, who was disarmed, could only fight Ye Zhi with his bare hands. The orc was furious, his long hair was flying in the wind, his fists were whistling, and the dark red runes on his body were becoming more and more dazzling.

Yeats would naturally not fight a fair duel with Grim as he did with Dijon.

The magic pet plane was opened, and the headless knight, snow owl, and snow leopard rushed out together. Ye Zhi moved away, using illusion to interfere with Glem's mind, while taking out the lyre and using the motivational song!

Although the Snow Leopard only has four rings, it is the God of Winter. The extremely cold frost flames are attached to Grim's body. Even if he covers his entire body with thunder, he cannot remove the frost flames.

The headless knight Kaelya had just received the blessing from the underworld ferryman 'Charon' and used the 'Iron Hoof of Death'. Ghostly shadows gathered behind her and charged forward following Kaelya. The sound of horse hooves was like thunder!
Facing the siege of the three demon pets, Grim's expression gradually turned solemn.

"No, if this continues, I will really die here!"

Gleim fought and retreated, trying to break out of the encirclement and attack Yeats in the rear.

Yeats deliberately exposed a flaw, and when Gleam suddenly approached, a raven suddenly appeared, seized Gleam's negligence, and pecked into its eyeball fiercely!
Grim let out a painful roar, closed his eyes tightly, and covered his bloody face.

He couldn't understand.

How could a mere human being command so many magical pets with the combat power of emperor-level magical beasts at the same time without being attacked back!
Generally speaking, a tamer can only contract a familiar that matches his Ring of Life.

For example, a five-ring beast tamer can only contract an emperor-level beast, otherwise he will be attacked by the magic pet.

However, a five-ring beast tamer can contract multiple king-level monsters because the beast tamer can suppress them by force.

But for Ye Zhi, the principle of avoiding backlash is quite simple...free food!
Grimm has been pushed to the brink.

He gritted his teeth and resolutely jumped into the surging sea.

The next moment, the light of the opening of the magic pet plane emerged in the sea, and an emperor-level blood-toothed shark emerged from the sea, carrying Grim, whose eyes were injured, and quickly fled!
The Bloodtooth Shark, a top hunter living in the icy sea, is a follower of the Shark God and has amazing maneuverability in the ocean!
In just a few moments, Glem was about to escape!

"Want to escape?"

Yeats took out Pan's Flute and played the Seduction Song. The music disturbed the Bloodtooth Shark's mind and made it return the way it came!
The arrogance on Grimm's face disappeared, replaced by a sense of fear.

"I can't die yet..."

Gleim murmured hoarsely:
"I have not yet mastered the supreme power... I have not yet completed my mission of unifying the tribes!"

“Karon——!!”

Grim suddenly roared towards the sky, calling out an unfamiliar name.

"You promised me that you would help me as long as I cooperate with you!!"

"Karon, the ancient snake wizard Karon!! Come and help me!!"

Ye Zhi looked coldly at Gleim who was calling for help.

Beneath the skin of the tyrant Grimm hides a cowardly heart.

Seeing that victory was hopeless, he began to seek the protection of the wizard who gave him power!

Long before the expedition, Ye Zhi suspected that there was a six-ring wizard hiding behind Gleim. The wizard ordered Gleim to go on an expedition to the south with unclear intentions.

Yeats deliberately let Gleim fall into despair, but did not rush to kill him, just to hook out the big fish behind him!

The ancient snake wizard Charon.

Ye Zhi already knew the wizard's name. Looking at the surging sea in the night, he sensed a strange aura.

It seemed as if something terrible was about to break through the surface of the sea.

Ye Zhi's pupils contracted slightly.

I saw a huge black shadow rising from below the sea, parting the ocean current. It was as huge as a dragon, like the giant python that appeared in mythology, bringing a sense of oppression from a giant!
Thunder rolled in the clouds and branch-like lightning streaked across the sky.

A whirlpool formed in the sea, and in the center of the whirlpool, the upper body of a giant snake rose up, dozens of feet high. From the head of the giant snake, a scaly human body extended out, with a cold gaze looking down at Yeats who was standing by the cliff.

Compared with its terrifying size, the young knight's figure seems insignificant!

"Karon, wizard Karon!"

Seeing this snake man, Gleim seemed to have found a life-saving straw and shouted wildly:
"Hurry up and save me, kill this human... You promised me that you would help me become the king of the tribe!"

The ancient snake wizard, Karon, exuded the terrifying aura of a six-ring wizard, as if low pressure enveloped the entire sea surface, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"help you?"

Hearing Caron's strange tone, Gleim was suddenly stunned.

"You are a coward who only looks strong but is weak inside. You have become so arrogant just because you have gained some of my insignificant power... It really makes me laugh."

The man on top of the giant snake said contemptuously:
"You are of no use to me anymore, Grim."

Grimm was struck by lightning, his body swaying constantly, he said in disbelief:

"What do you mean by that?!"

"I carved runes on your body only to use you as a test subject to collect the data I want."

The ancient snake wizard Karon sneered: "I wanted to use the skeleton of the white dragon 'Isidora' for research, but for some reason, the dragon bones disappeared... You are a defective product among defective products, but for the purpose of experiment, it's better than nothing!"

Yeats's eyes were stern.

Through Caron's words, clues have been pieced together.

The skeleton of the white dragon has been abducted by the King of the Wild Hunt. The six-ring wizard Charon got nothing, but was unwilling to go back empty-handed, so he deliberately set up ruins to lure orcs to come, and in the name of blessing, made them become his experimental subjects... The dark red runes on Grim's body are just the product of Charon's experiment!
"This is impossible... I am the strongest warrior in the tribe... So I am qualified to get the power..."

Grim was distraught and unwilling to face reality. He shook his head and said, "No, you must be lying to me!"

"Since you are not here to save him, why are you here?" Ye Zhi suddenly asked.

Thunder roared, and the ancient giant snake on the ice sea raised its body. The dark green eyes on the human face looked at Ye Zhi faintly and chuckled:

"because of you……"

"I am very interested in you."

"You are Biglem, a vessel a hundred times better than me."

The viper wizard Caron's voice was filled with bewitching magic, and he stretched out his dry green nails and pointed at Yeats.

"As long as you are willing to follow me, I will grant you longevity and power!"

"You can only fool the brainless orcs with these words."

Ye Zhi said calmly: "If you were the most beautiful snake queen in the country, I could still consider it, but you look like a wretch...you'd better go to hell as soon as possible!"

Caron was neither angry nor annoyed. He laughed hoarsely and said jokingly:
"I have already seen through your strength... Even with the power I have given him, Grim is no match for you. But, facing a six-ring wizard, how can you escape?"

"Haha, try to challenge me, little bug!" Caron grinned.

Ye Zhi pondered and said, "Is there a possibility... that you are the challenger?"

Caron's smile froze on his face.

Ye Zhi was indeed no match for the Six-ring Wizard. He took a deep breath and said:

"Colin - how long are you going to watch this!!"

Zheng!
The sword light that cuts through the sky is like the light of dawn.

Colin embraced a one-handed sword and landed in front of Ye Zhi with the sword light.

"How did you find me?" Colin's voice sounded a little puzzled.

"How could His Majesty allow the princess to come to the North alone?"

Ye Zhi sneered and said, "It's a five-ring level battle, you can just watch the fun, but this has to be solved by you!"

Colin scratched his head.

He always felt a little embarrassed when facing Yeats, probably because Yeats knew his dark history very well.

Colin really didn't dare to lose his temper with Yeats, and said:

"Okay, I'll use my Dawnbreaker Sword to help you repel the enemy!"

After the Blood Spider Lord incident, Colin's swordsmanship became clear, and he knew very well that women would only affect the speed at which he could draw his sword. His swordsmanship had already improved a lot, and he had already reached the bottleneck of a master swordsman.

Even when facing the terrifyingly large ancient snake wizard, Colin's tone remained calm, as if he was only going to kill a small snake on the side of the road.

Ye Zhi was still not satisfied and frowned:

"Just to repel the enemy?"

"As a sixth-ring warrior, it is difficult for me to kill him directly in battle, unless you can find me another sixth-ring warrior to work with me." Colin said truthfully.

"Do you think I have anyone with six-ring combat power?" Ye Zhi asked.

"Don't you?" Colin asked.

Yeats: "You have become smart."

Ke Lin: “…”

Calm down, the dirty tricks are still in his hands!

"How long are you two going to talk?"

The Ancient Snake Wizard had obviously heard of Colin's name and sneered:
"Do you think you can defeat me with just a knight with legendary fighting skills?"

"You're right, he really can't win." Ye Zhi said frankly.

Colin: “?”

Taking a deep breath, Ye Zhi said loudly:

"Hilde——save me!!"

At the end of the sea horizon, large pieces of floating ice appeared, and the cold air spread, causing the scope of the ice surface to continue to expand.

On the floating ice stood a giant wolf with a frost blade in its mouth, its eyes gleaming with a cold light.

On the back of the giant wolf, the Valkyrie wearing an eagle helmet had her red hair flying and the Sword of God's Wrath in her hand was burning with raging flames.

Hildre alone has not reached the threshold of the sixth ring.

However, the Black Knight's Chosen Ones can exert even greater advantages when fighting on horseback!
Hildreth rode on a giant wolf, revealing the aura of a six-ring master, seemingly blocking the ancient snake wizard's retreat!
A drop of cold sweat ran across the forehead of the Ancient Snake Wizard.

Caron: “…”

It’s over, it’s a trap!
