Warm Dragon

Whew!

The biting cold wind howled.

Leaving the warm place of the Youguang River Valley, we continued to head towards the source of the Youguang River and entered the Red Bat Cave.

Compared with the darkness of the Xiangshui River Cave, the Red Bat Cave is relatively open. Of course, the bigger difference is that the Red Bat Cave is on the necessary route of the trade route. After years of development, it has been connected in all directions.

The charcoal slag road has been paved all the way to the depths of the Red Bat Cave, and then passed through a skylight and officially went deep into the snowfield.

The knights of the entire Youguang River Valley were organized into a knight group.

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

The knight group moved forward along the Shuanghe Trade Road.

In the howling of the wind and snow, Russell could clearly see that two rows of walls built of solid ice formed a trade road like the Great Wall, extending deep into the endless snowfield. The caravan could walk inside the city wall, and the battle took place outside the city wall.

Hidden in the Great Wall-like trade route, the caravan can travel to various warm places without alarming the snow ghosts.

Of course.

In order to ensure the safety of the trade route, each lord has the obligation to come and clean up the snow ghosts around the trade route - it can not only protect the safety of the trade route, but also earn some ice hail beads, which can be said to be a happy move.

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

"Cold spring points are very important trade route nodes. We must ensure that there will be no large groups of snow ghosts around cold spring points." This is the battle direction 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 cap, there are occasionally not so cold places, where the hard ice can melt into water, which is called cold spring points.

Cold spring points are the best shelters and camping sites for caravans on their way.

Therefore, the Great Wall of Ice and Snow on the Trade Road is not a straight line, but a zigzag that connects all the cold springs.

"Grandpa's territory is the Sancha River Mouth, 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 whistling of wind and snow, which inevitably made him a little 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 in the clouds.

"In the northeast direction, the traces of snow ghosts were found, and the number exceeded one hundred!" Lord Sally's shout came from mid-air.

Russell looked up and saw a pair of huge crow wings outlined by black light behind Lord Sally. It was this pair of crow wings that allowed him to fly in the air like a bird and scout the surrounding enemy situation.

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

Eric clenched his fist upon hearing this: "Yes, sir, this is the photo with the fantasy beast. Kevin and I can't do this yet."

The training of the 1st turn fantasy beast knight is divided into three stages: fighting spirit sword control, fighting spirit armor and fantasy beast photo.

At present, Eric has not yet fully integrated with the golden and silver wolfhound Kevin, and can only barely do fighting spirit sword control - that is, through the radiation of Yuanxi, he can perform fighting spirit martial arts in the air and free his hands.

Russell comforted him: "Don't worry, don't worry, you and Kevin still have enough time to run in."

At the same time.

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

Baron Roman sat in the rear team and did not move, but Roland led the front team and the left wing formation and quickly rushed to the northeast. The horses' hooves trembled, and the whistling wind and snow were suddenly stopped by the impact.

When the knights charged into the formation, the fighting spirit resonated, and they had both indestructible attack power and indestructible defense power.

In just a short moment, the front team and the left wing defeated more than a hundred snow ghosts in the northeast direction, and then the knight formation dispersed. The knights chased and hacked the snow ghosts frantically, chopped the bodies and crushed the heads, and peeled the ice hail beads from them.

Unfortunately, the snow ghosts were defeated too quickly, and it was not even Russell's turn to support the formation to take action, and they were quickly divided up.

Not a single ice hail bead was left.

"I really want to rush up for a while." Russell sighed, these ice hail beads are all food for Xiao Menglong's growth.

"My lord, please be patient, this is just the beginning, and we will encounter more snow ghosts later, and then we will need my lord to take action." Eric said loudly, "Now my lord needs to adapt to the environment of the snowfield as soon as possible."

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

"I understand." Russell nodded.

In this way, the knights continued to march, and on the way to the first cold spring point, they encountered two or three waves of snow ghosts one after another.

However, they were all small groups of snow ghosts, and they could be defeated with a charge.

As a result, Russell did not get a chance to attack until the evening, when he arrived at the first cold spring point.

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

There is a thin layer of ice cover on the top, and the ground below is paved with stone slabs, which is about half the size of a football field. There are also many ice holes around, in which some supplies can be used.

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

The Knights quickly squeezed in. Of course, a team of knights stayed outside to guard the surrounding area to ensure the safety of the cold spring point.

The knights and followers in the team quickly set up tents, lit a bonfire, and started cooking.

Russell was called over by Baron Roman.

"Father." When Russell came to the tall tent of the commander, 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 camping in the snowfield."

Russell sat down.

Roland asked, "How was it? Was it fresh and exciting for the first time to go to the snowfield?"

"It was fresh, but not exciting enough. The main reason was that I didn't participate in the battles of several waves of snow ghosts along the way."

Baron Roman said, "Observe and learn first, don't be too ambitious."

"Yes, father."

"There are many opportunities to fight. The deeper you go into the snowfield, the more snow ghosts there are. I don't know where so many snow ghosts come from. Anyway, you will be tired of killing them when the time comes." Roland said, and he didn't know where he got a bottle of wine from.

He poured a glass for each of the three fathers and sons with an iron kettle.

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

"Are you short of money?" Baron Roman asked, "Didn't your grandmother give you a research fee? Can you spend all the 100 gold coins on researching reading glasses? And your mother also gave you a lot of gold coins in secret."

The baron was very careful and knew Russell's source of income very well.

Russell responded, "Research and development is very expensive, father... and I am indeed short of money because I have many ideas to implement."

"Don't be too greedy, Russell, let the serfs farm in peace, as a lord you just need to wait to collect money." Baron Roman began to teach his way of being a lord, "It has been like this for thousands of years, so there is naturally a reason..."

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

Pay attention to a pure and inaction.
