Beast Throne

Chapter 494
After Wulantu's team merged with the team brought by Duo Luo, they did not continue northward, but marched westward.

Neither the dowry brought by Ulantu nor the dowry brought by Duo Luo were counted, but handed over to their respective stewards. After the two sides exchanged, the servants took each of them back to their respective hometowns.

In this way, there were only [-] elite cavalrymen following Ulantu, [-] northern warriors brought by Duo Luo, and about a hundred shamans accompanying the army.

Northern warriors are a special type of soldiers only found in the extreme arctic ice fields. They are tall and tall, but they don't wear armor, not even leather armor.But the fighting power of these warriors is even stronger than that of Qixue. They have a vertical awl and a hammer hanging from their waists, which can be used for close combat.And behind each of them are three javelins, which are their throwing weapons.

The javelin is definitely not as accurate as the bow and arrow, but the strength is undoubtedly far better than the bow and arrow.Although Wu Tong didn't see them throwing it away, it wouldn't be too bad if he thought about it, otherwise he would really have sold the first bid.

As for the shaman, Wu Tong felt like a wizard in the north, who could be used as a magician or a military doctor.However, the treatment of shamans is much better than that of wizards. The southern part of the mainland is the world of magicians. Wizards are not taken seriously. Instead, they are demonized and can only hide near the Southern Cross Forest.

The shaman is a priest in the White Ice Empire. A person must have a shaman present from birth, adulthood, and death, so the shaman is still very respected in the White Ice Empire.It's a pity that the threshold for becoming a shaman is relatively low, and there are many practitioners. When there are more people, the competition will be fiercer, and the salary will naturally come down.

Wu Tong observed for a few days and found that the equipment and treatment of these shamans were not as good as those of Qixue and their thoroughbred horses.

Although all the servants had already left the team, the speed of the team's march was still very slow, which made Wu Tong a bit boring along the way.I am tired of looking at the surrounding scenery, after all, they are all endless grasslands, once I look at them for a long time, I will naturally feel monotonous.

The reason why the marching speed was slow was that the huge icebreaker turtles did not return to the ice field, but followed Ulantu's team all the time.This made Wu Tong feel very strange. Naturally, there was no need to doubt the fighting power of the icebreaker turtles, but their moving speed was too slow.And Qixue is a cavalry, and the northern warriors can keep running without affecting their combat effectiveness. Such a highly mobile team paired with icebreaker turtles will completely lose their advantage.

Ulantu explained this in this way, because this time it was not the barbarians who came to harass them, but they took the initiative to attack the barbarians, and they must win and cannot retreat.But the barbarians are not easy to mess with. If there is no camp that is strong enough to defend against the barbarian attacks, then they will not be able to sleep peacefully at night.

Three days later, Wu Tong saw their reinforcements, a hussar of 5000 men, subordinates of King Blue Eyes.

The King of Blue Eyes is the leader of a large tribe on the grassland. Blue Eyes does not mean that the people of this tribe have blue eyes, but that they are very good at raising a large bird called the Blue Eye Eagle.There is no forest as a cover on the grassland, as long as you look down from the air, you can easily see the movement of the opponent, so the combat effectiveness of this family has always been very strong, and it can be said that it is the strongest except for the Ulan family.

Now it seems that the diplomacy of the Ulan family is still very good. King Qingyan is willing to dispatch 5000 troops to Ulantu's command, and Ulantu doesn't care about food.

Naturally, the Blue-Eyed King would not show up in person on such an occasion, and the leader of the team was also someone Wu Tong knew, the archer Gailou he had seen on Misty Island.I haven't seen him for a while, but this person has changed a lot. He has completely faded from the youthfulness and innocence of the past. Now he has a big beard, sharp eyes, and extremely long arms.

Gai Lou led the team to meet up with Ulantu, and then greeted Duo Luo.When men on the grassland reach Gailou's age, they usually have wives and families, but Gailou has always had a special liking for Wulan Mingzhu, and he still has no wife.

When Gai Lou came over, Wu Tong didn't go up to greet him, but was pulled behind by Duo Yan to chat.Duoyan is cute, but not easy to get along with, and has a young lady temper.She doesn't actually like Wu Tong, but in comparison, she hates building buildings even more.The reason for this was also because of Ulan Pearl, what a fate.

However, Gai Lou found Wu Tong very quickly, because when he got here, his blue-eyed eagle refused to fly no matter what he said. afraid of what.Gai Lou felt strange, so he looked around and was sure it was because of Wu Tong.

He is very smart, although he doesn't know Wu Tong, but other people have seen the blue-eyed eagle, and he has never noticed what is happening now, so Gai Lou immediately guessed that it was Wu Tong's reason.

"Brother Suzaku, let me introduce you. This is Gailou, the son of King Blue Eyes, the best scout and shooter on our grassland." Wu Lantu brought Gailou to Wu Tong who was talking with Duoyan. Introduced Gai Lou to Wu Tong.

Wu Tong was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Wulantu would take the initiative to introduce her, because Duoyan pursed her lips when she saw Gailou approaching, expressing her displeasure, and Wulantu usually took good care of her sister-in-law. of.

"Uh, hello." Wu Tong nodded slightly.

"Brother Suzaku, you..." Wulantu hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Gailou had already told Wulantu about the blue-eyed eagle, but Wulantu had no other explanation after thinking about it.However, it would undoubtedly be very rude to directly ask Wu Tong what he did to the blue-eyed eagle. Wu Lantu felt that Wu Tong would not be so boring as to tease a bird.

"Well, what's the matter?" Wu Lantu didn't say anything, Wu Tong didn't know what was going on, and the two froze for a moment.It was Duoyan who solved the problem. Xiao Nizi was using a staring attack on Gai Lou, but she keenly noticed the abnormality of the blue-eyed eagle, and immediately grinned mercilessly.

"Hehe, what's wrong with your bird, it seems to be trembling! Isn't it usually very arrogant and likes to fly above my head?"

Aiwujiwu, Duoyan really hated Gailou to a certain extent, even the blue-eyed eagle was also hated, and was mercilessly ridiculed.

But it was also because of her smile that Wu Tong also saw the strange shape of the blue-eyed eagle, and combined with the embarrassed expression on Wu Lantu's face, it was not difficult to guess what he wanted to say.

Wu Tong felt a little complacent. He didn't feel it when he was in the Southern Cross Forest. When he came out, he realized that he was also coerced, but it was only effective against birds.No wonder I haven't seen any birds since I left the Southern Cross Forest. It turned out that I was scared away by myself.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, I forgot." Wu Tong smiled at Gailou and waved his hand. Then the blue-eyed eagle stopped being afraid, and immediately flew away with one wing, much more positive than usual.

"I didn't expect Brother Suzaku to have this kind of ability!" Wu Tong gained a lot of face now, Wu Lantu, Gailou, and Duoyan were all astonished.If it was Gai Lou and Wu Tong who fought against each other, they would have lost before it even started.Even magic pets are so afraid of obeying other people's orders, so what a ghost.

"Brother Suzaku, don't blame me for talking too much. It seems that those ice-breaking turtles are not afraid of you. Why is this blue-eyed eagle..." Wu Lantu is worthy of being recognized as a hero on the grassland. He quickly associated the ice-breaking turtles through the blue-eyed eagle.

When Duo Luo first opened, Wu Tong was obviously very interested in those magical ice-breaking turtles, and observed them closely for a long time, but those ice-breaking turtles were not afraid of Wu Tong at all, so they did whatever they wanted.

"Probably because I grew that too." Wu Tong pointed to his back, and Wu Lantu immediately showed a dazed expression.He had known for a long time that Wu Tong had wings, that's why he was so polite to Wu Tong. He thought it would be difficult to deal with someone like Wu Tong who could fly and use it to travel leisurely on the grassland.

That's all for Wu Tong and Wu Lantu's talk, as long as everyone understands, Wu Tong is a guest, so there's no need to show it to everyone.It's just that Duoyan became interested, and kept asking Wu Tong, wanting to know his secret that made the blue-eyed eagle afraid.Wu Tong was so forced that he had no choice but to show Duo Yan his wings when others were not paying attention, and then he got rid of Duo Yan's entanglement.

But since then, Duoyan has obviously become more gentle and polite to Wu Tong. It's not that she has any thoughts about Wu Tong, but she seems to be urging Wu Tong to catch the blue-eyed eagle and hand it over to her.

After merging with Gailou, the marching direction of the team was slightly adjusted, from west to northwest.After that, some people joined Wulantu's team one after another, but they were not troops, but cattle, sheep and fine wine sent by nearby tribes.

Among these troops, the barbarians were the closest. If the barbarians harassed them, they would suffer the most.Now Ulantu is taking the initiative to attack, if they don't express it, they will be deflated in the future.

Two days later, the endless grassland scenery finally changed. The lush grassland began to decrease significantly, and the climate became colder and drier.Wu Tong can already pick up fist-sized rocks, which means that this place has reached the border of the grassland and is about to enter the tundra environment.

On the day when the team had just stepped into the tundra, the blue-eyed eagle, which had been flying in the clouds until Wu Tong could save it, finally swooped down and landed on Gai Lou's shoulder.

"Your Highness, there is a situation ahead, and those barbarians have come to us on their own initiative."

Looking at each other with the blue-eyed vulture, Gailou's expression froze, and he immediately said to Wulantu.
