Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 177 Avalanche
"There is an ambush!"

Stannis mustered all his strength and shouted to the people in front of him, his voice resounded through the valley, but it was too late, and countless horrible noises like nails on the wall came from above his head.

"above!"

Someone in the valley raised his finger and screamed in horror. Everyone looked up, and the most terrifying scene they had ever seen in their lives appeared.

At some point, there were countless white figures on the originally empty mountain wall, densely packed arthropods clinging to the vertical rocks like termites, silently watching the people at the bottom of the cliff.

It was Stannis who was the first to react, and he found that the people on the stone were all Chaos people!They had already been lying in wait for them to appear. As for why they were able to hang on the rocks, it was because the group used sharp hand knives to stick their bodies in the crevices of the rocks to hang themselves.

"Don't stand around stupidly, come out!" Stannis shouted impatiently, but the crowd who had been captured by the scene like a painting of hell could no longer move their footsteps.

Moreover, these monsters took great pains to set up this kind of ambush, how could it be possible for people to escape here, all the Chaos people spread their ribs like insects, and resonated with each other, their bodies trembled at the same frequency.At this time, the entire valley began to shake, and the broken stone chips began to peel off from the mountain and fall downwards, finally waking up the crowd who were still in fear and unable to extricate themselves, and everyone let out the most heart-piercing cries shouted, and fled out of the valley, but their lives ended the moment they stepped into the valley.

They knew their fate was over when they heard a loud boom overhead, an avalanche, white death.

The avalanche triggered by the shock fell unstoppably from the top of the cliff, mercilessly devouring all life on the top of the valley, and no one survived the disaster.

In the face of this destructive force of nature, all Stannis could do was run wildly for his life. People outside the valley ran desperately to avoid being affected.

But even so, after the avalanche gradually dissipated, the valley had been filled, at least half of the expeditionary force had been swallowed up, and the survivors were trembling and lingering.

Stannis straightened up from the snow. In order to save Barrow IV who was still in the valley just now, he dragged him to the outside with all his might, but in the end he was overtaken by the snow and buried. Fortunately, there was not much snow covered. He still got out from under the snow.

But others were not so lucky. Countless stumps protruded from the white snow, and their owners were buried and breathless.

Stannis quickly looked towards the valley, and found that the white Chaos people there had disappeared. If they wanted to drive them all to extinction, the fragmented expeditionary force hit by the avalanche would have no ability to resist.

But for some unknown reason, those monsters let them go?Stannis didn't think too much, he got into the snow again, and tried his best to get Barona's huge body out of the snow. Unfortunately, one leg of this big man was blown away by the avalanche just now. The stone was broken, and a large amount of blood sprayed out from the severed limb, leaving a conspicuous painting of blood on the white snow.

Stannis, who had some knowledge of first aid, immediately took off the belt and tied it around Barrow's broken leg, but he could feel the body temperature of the other party disappearing rapidly, and he began to regret why he didn't bring Romney with him this time.

The voice of a living person not far away caught his attention.

"Everyone is ready to fight!" Enrique wanted to raise his sword tremblingly, because he had the most people, so he was blocked outside just now and saved his life.

But no one paid attention to him. What was taken away by the avalanche was not only the lives of the dead, but also the will of the living. Under the double blow of this disaster and the nightmare monsters, most of the survivors had lost their courage. They wandered back and forth, crying Howling, fearing.

"Robert, are you still alive?" Stannis dragged the fainted Barrow walking on the snow with difficulty.

And his little brother just escaped by hiding behind a huge boulder, he struggled to climb out from the snow, and shouted, "I'm still alive, boss!"

Stannis gritted his teeth and brought Barrow there. Many wounded people had already gathered there, and the military chaplain was casting spells back and forth to heal them, but many people still wailed and died.

"I'll hand him over to you. By the way, you can gather me and the Buffalo family to count the casualties." Stannis walked out after finishing speaking.

"What are you doing!" Robert was still half buried in the snow, and he had been counting on Stanislas to give him a hand.

But the lord has already walked towards the scene of the avalanche just now, the valley has been filled with heavy snow, and it seems that the people buried under have awakened to the possibility of survival.Countless hands protruded from the snow and were no longer alive, like tombstones, which made people feel chilling.

Stannis wandered around for a long time, but still did not find any survivors. The wisdom of those monsters was amazing, and they lost at least half of the expeditionary force without paying any price.

Suddenly, with his sharp eyes, he saw a sword protruding from the snow, and the sword looked more and more familiar, and finally he was sure that it was the Fire Kiss Sword he sold!

He sold it to Baron Fat Ace from the River Valley for 300 gold coins through Albert as an intermediary. It seems that its current owner has been buried here at this time.

Stannis immediately shook his head back and forth to observe the surroundings. After making sure that no one was looking at him, he quickly opened the frozen fingers of the dead man and inserted the Fire Kiss Sword into his empty scabbard. It felt wonderful to return it to its original owner , Stannis decided to spend his life with this legendary sword.

When he came back satisfied, he found that the survivors had all gathered under the rock. The bleeding had stopped on Barona's broken thigh, but he was still in a coma, and his injuries looked grim.

At the same time, after Robert's counting just now, the Niu family lost a third of their men, while the Long family's army was unscathed because of the crane tail.

Just when Stannis was secretly happy that he not only had no loss but also made a small fortune, a mournful cry sounded out of place.

"Monster! A monster appeared behind us!"

Everyone rushed out of the shadow of the stone, and sure enough, they found a large group of white Chaos people slowly approaching them again.

Damn, they didn't let themselves go just now, but wanted to strangle them on the plain!Stannis clenched his fists, feeling extremely angry that even such an ugly monster could play with him!
In this desperate time, the elder who still needs calmness to stand up, Seaworth pointed to the north and shouted loudly: "There is a hillside over there, run to that side! Run!"

At this moment, as long as someone can stand up and take command, it is a blessing. The chaotic crowd finally found their target. They lifted their wounded comrades and ran towards the hillside, where they can overlook the battlefield, which is an excellent place for defense.

Stannis and Robert lifted Barrow up and ran towards it. Fortunately, the Chaos people did not intend to pursue them, so that everyone in the expeditionary force could reach the hillside.On the way, they also forcibly crossed a wide river, which was not yet frozen, causing the first few people to fall into the river. Fortunately, the people behind were able to catch them.Fortunately, there was a shoal in the middle of the river, and the water was only up to the knees. Although the river was freezing cold in winter, the desperate crowd waded across the river without hesitation.

When they climbed up the hillside, they found that there was an abandoned village, which was already empty. With the intact household items, it seemed that the villagers here also suffered the same bad luck.

"All ready to fight!" Stannis yelled, but none of them heeded him. The Chaos Folk were pressing upon them, and had reached the other side of the river, and would soon cross it.
