Chapter 82 The Baron Preaches (fifth update)

Whoosh!

The biting wind howled.

After leaving the warm place of the Netherworld River Valley, we continued towards the source of the Netherworld River and entered the Red Bat Cave.

Compared with the darkness of the Xiangshuihe Caves, the Red Bat Caves are more open. Of course, the bigger difference is that the Red Bat Caves are on the only route of the trade route. After years of development, they have become accessible in all directions.

The charcoal avenue was paved all the way to the depths of the Red Bat Cave, and then passed through a patio and officially penetrated deep into the snowfield.

The knights in the entire Netherlight Valley formed a knightly order.

And divided into front team, rear team, left wing, right wing formation, and support formation including Russell.

The Knights moved along the Two Rivers Trade Road.

Amidst the howling of the wind and snow, Russell could clearly see two rows of city walls made of solid ice, forming a Great Wall-like business road that extended deep into the endless snowfield. Caravans can travel within the city walls, while battles take place outside the walls.

Hidden in the Great Wall-like trade roads, caravans can travel to various warm places without disturbing the snow ghosts.

of course.

In order to ensure the safety of the trade routes, every lord is obliged to clean up the snow ghosts around the trade routes - it can not only protect the safety of the trade routes, but also earn some ice beads. It can be said that there is no reason not to do it.

However, the Great Wall of Ice and Snow is not continuous, but combines with the terrain of the snowfield, sometimes rising from the ground, sometimes diving under the ice.

"Cold Spring Point is a very important business road node. We must ensure that there will not be large groups of snow ghosts around Cold Spring Point." This is the direction of the battle that Baron Roman emphasized before the team set off.

There is no other reason.

The snowfield is too cold, and it is difficult for ordinary people and horses to be exposed to the cold of the snowfield for a long time. But under the ice sheet, there are occasionally places that are not so cold, where solid ice can melt into water, called cold springs.

The cold spring point is the best shelter and campsite for the caravan during its journey.

Therefore, the Great Wall of Ice and Snow on the Commercial Road is not a straight line, but has twists and turns, connecting all the cold spring points together.

"Grandpa's territory is the mouth of the Sancha River, and my father's territory is the Youguang River Valley, so the trade road connecting the two territories is called the Shuanghe Trade Road." Russell followed the knights, surrounded by the howling wind and snow, which made him unavoidable Somewhat distracted.

However, before the first cold spring point was reached, the boring march was forced to stop.

"Chirp!"

Lord Ross hovered in the sky, sometimes appearing from the clouds and sometimes disappearing from the clouds.

"Traces of snow ghosts were found in the northeast, with more than a hundred in number!" Lord Sully's shout came from mid-air.

Russell raised his head and saw a pair of huge crow wings outlined by black light behind Lord Sally. It was these crow wings that allowed him to fly in the air like a bird and detect the surrounding enemies.

"Is this a group photo of fantasy beasts?" Russell couldn't help but admire.

Eric heard this and clenched his fist: "Yes, sir, this is a photo of the Phantom Beast. Kevin and I haven't been able to do this yet."

The training of the 1st-level Phantom Beast Knight is divided into three stages: Fighting Qi Sword Controlling, Fighting Qi Transformation into Armor, and Fantasy Beast Photo-taking.

At present, Eric has not had enough time with Kevin, the gold and silver wolf dog, and can only barely manage the fighting spirit sword-that is, through the radiation of Yuan Qi, he can perform fighting spirit martial arts from a distance, freeing his hands.

Russell comforted him: "No rush, no rush, you and Kevin still have enough time to get along."

at the same time.

After receiving Lord Sully's warning, the Knights quickly changed their formation.

Baron Roman sat in the rear group and did not move. Instead, Roland led the front group and the left wing formation, and quickly pounced toward the northeast. The horses' hooves trembled, and the howling wind and snow were suddenly stopped by the impact.

The knight's fighting spirit resonates when charging into battle, possessing both indestructible attack power and indestructible defense power.

In just a few moments, the front team and the left wing defeated more than a hundred snow ghosts in the northeast. Then the knight formation dispersed. The knights chased the snow ghosts frantically, chopped up the corpses, crushed the heads, and peeled off the ice graupel beads. . Unfortunately, the Snow Ghosts were defeated so quickly that Russell's support formation didn't even have the chance to take action, and they were quickly divided up.

Not a single ice graupel bead is left.

"I really want to go up and charge for a while." Russell said with emotion, these ice beads are the food for the little Menglong's growth.

"Sir, please be patient. This is just the beginning. We will encounter more snow ghosts in the future, and you will need to take action at that time." Eric said loudly, "Now you need to adapt to the snowfield environment as soon as possible."

He is Russell's guard knight captain, and he is also Russell's knight teacher. He never forgets to teach Russell.

"I understand." Russell nodded.

The knights continued to march in this way, and encountered two or three waves of snow ghosts on the way to the first cold spring point.

However, they are all small groups of snow ghosts that can be defeated with a single charge.

As a result, Russell didn't get a chance to take action until he reached the first cold spring point in the evening.

The so-called cold spring point is actually a patio.

There is a thin layer of ice above the head, and below is a ground paved with stone slabs, about the size of half a football field. Many ice caves were dug out all around, and some useful materials were stored in them.

Such as dry firewood, brown bread, warm clothes, etc.

The knights quickly squeezed in. Of course, a group of knights were left outside to guard the surrounding area to ensure the safety of the cold spring point.

The knights' retinues in the team quickly set up tents, lit bonfires, and started cooking.

Russell was called over by Baron Roman.

"Father." When Russell came to the tall coach's tent, he saw that only his eldest brother Roland was there, and the other lords were not there.

"Sit down." Baron Roman said, "Tonight, the three of us, father and son, will have dinner together to celebrate Russell's first time camping on the snowfield."

Russell sat down.

Roland then asked: "How is it? It's your first time going to the snowfield. Isn't it fresh and exciting?"

"It's fresh, but the excitement is a bit small, mainly because of the few waves of snow ghosts along the way, and I didn't participate in the battle."

Baron Roman said: "Observe and learn first, don't aim too high."

"Yes, father."

"There are so many opportunities to fight. The deeper we go into the snowfield, the more snow ghosts there are. I don't know where so many snow ghosts appear from. In short, there will be a time when you are tired of killing." Roland said, and he didn't know where they came from. Pull out a bottle of wine.

Using an iron kettle, he poured a cup for each of the father and son.

"Thank you." Russell took the iron kettle and said with a smile, "I was just thinking about killing more snow ghosts and earning some ice beads."

"Are you very short of money?" Baron Roman asked, "Didn't your grandmother give you a research fee? How can you spend a hundred gold coins on reading glasses? And your mother also gave you a lot secretly. Just gold coins.”

The baron was very attentive and knew Russell's financial resources clearly.

Russell responded: "Research and development is very expensive, father... and I am indeed short of money because there are many ideas that need to be implemented."

"Don't become fat in one bite, Russell, let the serfs farm with peace of mind. As a lord, you only need to wait to collect the money." Baron Roman began to teach his lord way, "After thousands of years of living like this, naturally there will be Its principle..."

Russell refined the Baron's words and came to the conclusion that the Baron actually believed in Huang Lao's way.

Pay attention to purity and inaction.
