On the third day after entering the mountain, the Muse saw some clues. It seemed that the team was trying to cross the kilimarro mountains!
The discovery surprised the muse!
The kilimarro mountains are a huge natural barrier from north to South on the mainland, stretching thousands of kilometers from northwest to southwest. The continuous mountains are like a giant snake crawling on the mainland. The only gap is the "Northwest corridor" in the northwest province of Desa.
In addition, other places are all towering mountains... Some mountains are continuous and meandering, with no end at a glance; Some of them are solitary peaks like clouds, which make people sigh and look up.
If you want to cross such a mountain range, you are afraid that along the way there are countless cliffs, steep mountain roads, natural chasms, isolated peaks and natural dangerous places!
It is said that even the lowest peak in the kilimarro mountains is more than 3000 meters!
After the team entered the mountain, they first went up a mountain road in the past three days. One day later, the mountain road became steeper and narrower.
However, although the mountain road is difficult to walk, these wolf riders are naturally extremely agile. Even in this rugged terrain, if they were human cavalry, they would have been unable to move forward for a long time. But those wolf knights can still control the giant wolf, move and jump, and move forward on the mountain road.
Even the 600 elves. He also gave up the cart and walked on foot. The elves are delicate in shape and flexible in action, so it's natural.
The only thing that has suffered is the muse. Along the way, two days of hiking, her feet had already worn out blisters, after the blisters broke. Every step is a burning pain. The Muse didn't want to lose his prestige in front of these enemies, but insisted on it in secret.
A large group of wolves were riding in the mountains. At night, they made a fire and ate the dried food they were carrying. The elves didn't eat the dried meat, but they brought some dry food with them. It's the muse. But there is a kind of suffering. In this team, it seems that the wolf riders are all male werewolves, while the elves seem to have no distinction between men and women. The only woman is muse.
She hasn't bathed for ten days. She didn't see water for four days when she was on her way with Longbottom and others. It's been so many days since the capture. Now I feel that there's no itching on my whole body. Muse was originally a girl, although after entering the military camp, he had suffered a lot. But I don't take a bath for more than ten days. But there are still some intolerable.
On the fourth day of the mountain road, wolf riding began to consciously save food.
After all, it was a brigade of 5000 wolf riders. Before they entered the mountain, they also brought a lot of food carts. But after they entered the mountain, those food carts could only be left outside the mountain. The wolf riders only carried rations and dried meat for several days.
Obviously, these carry on rations. It's not enough for them to go over the mountains. It's estimated that if you want to go over the mountains, even if you're lucky enough to take the nearest mountain road, you can't think about it in 20 or 30 days. If you get lost in the mountains, it's common that you can't get out in two or three months.
Fortunately. These orcs and werewolves. But he has a natural talent, in this kind of mountain forest. However, they will not get lost. After walking for a few days, they seem to be in this kind of wild mountains, but they have aroused their innate wildness in their blood.
Later, even without careful identification, these wolves can easily find water and the most convenient mountain road in the forest.
There are even land wolf riders, who patrol around during their breaks and soon bring back some wild animals to replenish their food reserves.
By the seventh day, Muse's leather boots had worn out. She could only quietly pull a piece of cloth from her close clothes, wrap her feet, and then walk hard in broken boots.
The narrow mountain road has been heading for a mountain in the distance. Because of the narrow mountain road, the army has been compressed into a long snake line. The road can only allow two wolf riders to walk side by side, and the line has been dragged long.
The Muse was staggering along the cliff. When he looked down, he saw his own line of wolves riding on the mountain road.
After climbing over this high mountain, the team finally came to the "snow line" above!
From here, continue to move forward, only to see that a mountain, white snow, are all over the sky, the air is suddenly cold up, and in this snow bee top, is the oxygen thin. Muse was originally unable to support his body. At the moment, he felt as if his chest had been crushed by a stone. Even though he tried hard to breathe deeply, he still felt out of breath.
And at the foot of the thick snow and ice, but also to the team brought great difficulties.
Muse's boots were originally broken. After walking for less than half a day, they were filled with a lot of ice and snow. First, they were excited by their body temperature, melted, and then frozen again. She almost broke her foot.
Fortunately, the elves seemed to be very kind to muses along the way. Some elves saw muses walk strangely, so they came up and helped her to sit down. After taking off their boots, they saw that several blisters on the soles of Muses' feet had already been smoothed, but their tender skin turned red with cold. As soon as the ELF's hand touched her ankle, Muse almost cried out in pain.
"You're frostbitten. Fortunately I found out, otherwise, if you walk for a long time, your feet will be frozen."
Then, the elf took out a pair of boots from his back and handed them to muse. The shape of the boots was very strange. The tip of the boots was high, and the ankle was inlaid with a leaf. What's more, the shape of the boots was strange. This boot is not like a leather, but
"It's made from the skin of a vine." The genie looked very gentle and said with a smile, "we Genie are a natural race. Naturally, we don't kill and take skin. There is a special kind of rattan cultivated in our family. Every summer, the rattan will shed its skin automatically. Slough off the bark on the surface. The bark is strong and elastic. It's no worse than animal skin
Muse noticed that the other side used the word "we elves", which was a bit strange. It's as if I've included myself.
However, the language of the Spirit speaking about the human empire was very fluent, and his attitude was very gentle, which made the Muse feel close to him.
"Put on these boots and walk in them. You won't get cold feet. "
Muse was a little confused. He changed his boots and felt dry and warm. His frozen feet soon felt warm.
"These boots are waterproof. In summer. We'll also make clothes out of this kind of rattan bark and jump into the lake without getting wet. " The genial spirit took another look at the Muse's clothes.
The Muse was still wearing the uniform of the mercenary. Just a few days ago, when I was walking on the mountain road, many places were cut by the branches and looked a little ragged. So the spirit took out a cloak and put it on the Muse himself. He said softly, "this is a magic cloak. If you put it on, you won't be afraid of the cold."
The Muse let the other party put on his cloak, felt the heat of magic on the cloak, and gradually warmed up his whole body.
She didn't know how. But some dull looking at in front of this elf, can't help but some softhearted. Although both sides are enemies but not friends, these elves treat themselves very well along the way. At the moment, they deliver boots and clothes. They speak gently. They don't regard her as a prisoner of war, but as if she were of the same kind.
"You... Why are you so nice to me?" The Muse shook his head vigorously.
"Because... We are the same." The elf smiles. stand up. He went down the line again.
As soon as the Muse was stunned, he could not help murmuring: "the same..."
It turns out that the three sisters of the Liszt family are half blood elves. Mrs. Liszt only told angel, but the Muse didn't know.
But at the moment, these elves warm words to themselves, but let her involuntarily, in the heart of a natural intimacy.
With that pair of magic boots and magic cloak, the Muse finally did not have to suffer from the cold. It's just the trekking on the mountain road, which is physically exhausting, but also makes the Muse feel tired.
Especially on the high mountain, she had difficulty breathing. After walking for a while, she felt dizzy, but she almost fell off the cliff several times. Fortunately, even if the elves around hold on.
On the tenth day, though we had been saving time and again, the food was finally eaten up.
The wolves scattered and began to search for food. Fortunately, there were many things like rock sheep, snow chicken and snow fox on the snow mountain.
In this area, people rarely visit, and these wild animals are not afraid to see people and do not know how to escape. And wolf riding is swift and violent, hunting everywhere.
The six hundred elves also made great contributions.
They carry with them a plant race peculiar to the elves. The elves sprinkle these races in the snow, and then cast their magic. Then, in the snow, the seeds immediately grow and germinate, and soon you can see the green plants in the snow suddenly climb up!
These plants twined together like several vines and soon formed a thick trunk. The highest is even more than ten meters!
Branches and leaves grow out in a meal. The smallest leaves are the size of a washbasin, and the biggest ones are even the size of a table.
Then, after the six hundred elves chanted the incantation, the purple light covered the small magic plant. Soon, on the tree trunk, the fruit grew out one by one. In an instant, dozens of trees were covered with fruits!
The fruits are as big as pumpkin one by one. Many wolves and elves cheered when they saw the huge fruits.
Soon, an elf picked a fruit and handed it to the muse. He took out a dagger and cut it gently. Inside, the flesh was golden. Muse took a small bite, and immediately he was full of fragrance. The flesh was delicate and full. After only three or five bites, he was full.
And other wolves also happily pluck all the fruits from the trees and share them.
When all the fruits are picked up, the trees wither quickly. Green branches and leaves quickly become yellow, shrinking, and finally turned into a seed in the snow. It's just that the used seed looks yellow.
"Don't worry, it's not dead." The genie recycled the seeds one by one: "we just have to wait until we find a suitable water source and soak these seeds in the water again for a few days, and it will not recover until a year later."
The seeds of this magical plant. The elves brought a bag.
Relying on this thing, and occasionally hunting some wild animals to supplement, the party persisted for six days.
On the 16th day of entering the mountain, the food was finally exhausted, even the magic seed that the elves carried to produce fruit. It's all used up.
However, the mountain finally turned over!
On the 17th day, the mountain road ahead was already going down all the way. Gradually, soon the crowd crossed the snow line, the surrounding scenery was no longer white, and some sparse plants and trees began to appear around. Occasionally you can see small pieces of rock sheep living here.
Seeing the prey, the wolf clan immediately cheered up and sent out several teams of wolf riders to hunt everywhere. One day later, the wolf clan was killed. We captured 100 blue sheep, some grouse, Mountain Deer and so on.
Although Muse was silent most of the time in this line, she secretly calculated in her heart that she had read two peaks and four snow mountains all the way. The direction is also all the way to the West.
When the terrain gets lower and lower. The climate here is getting warmer. The cold wind on the mountain was gone, and there was a touch of moisture and warmth in the air. And on the 19th day. A heavy rain suddenly came, this team had a day's rest in a cave, and the wolf family separated a wolf to ride along the cave to explore the way.
When it was almost dawn, the Muse heard the wolves suddenly cheering together. Thousands of wolves were full of excitement and excitement in their howling. One by one, the werewolves raised their swords and screamed, which startled the birds in the surrounding woods.
The Muse was a little flustered when he heard this, but the spirit beside him said with a smile: "well, don't be afraid. That's when we finally get out of the mountain. These guys are happy to call us that. "
"Out, out of the mountain..." Muse frowned.
Sure enough, after dawn, the Muse also saw the wolf riders who came back from exploring. These wolf riders didn't come back empty handed. They also brought back some "prey".
Twenty cattle and sheep, four horses... And three human beings!
human beings!!
The humans brought back by this team of wolves were three men, one of whom was just grown up.
The three prisoners were all dressed in sheepskin robes and rough cattle leather boots. They were all lame and strange when walking, but they still had the appearance of hoop legs that they had been riding for many years. He had a dirty sheepskin hat on his head, all the wool had fallen off, and some pudding.
After many years in the northwest province of Desa, Muse had been dealing with many caravans. She could see at a glance that the three prisoners were dressed like standard herdsmen on the grassland!
Herdsmen? Grassland herdsmen?
The Muse's eyes darkened.
The fur robes of the three herdsmen had been cut in many places, and all of them had some scars. After they were captured by the wolf, the young face of the three showed some fear and fear. However, the two elders were only slightly surprised, but they were not afraid. They were more of a natural champion!
The rough skin on the grassland is cold and cold. The wolf is riding on it with a long knife. The herdsmen stare at the werewolves around, but their faces are full of hatred!
The Muse stood outside and said nothing. Several elves went over and talked with the werewolf for a while. When they came back, the Muse was told that these herdsmen were met by the wolf riders who went out to explore.
There is a herdsman of about seventeen or eighteen in the neighborhood. When I met the wolf rider, there were about 200 riders. As a result, the wolf rider killed all the herdsmen! Among the 17 or 18 people, there were old, weak, women and children, most of whom were killed. Although the herdsmen of the grassland fought hard, they rose up to resist. What's more, according to the news brought back by Wolf riding, these nomads also caused some trouble to wolf riding. Grassland herdsmen are good at riding and have grown up on horseback since childhood, no matter men or women, old or young. Can ride a horse, shoot an arrow, swing a machete.
Two wolf riders were injured in the first World War.
There is also a herdsman, relying on excellent riding skills and fast horses, who managed to escape before being annihilated. The three prisoners were their families who were captured alive by Wolf riding at the end of the battle. It's already dead by now. The tent was burned down and the cattle and sheep were brought back.
After listening to this, the Muse was deeply shocked, but only one idea remained!
Grassland! We have come to the grassland! We went over the kilimarro mountains and came to the grassland!!
These five thousand wolves ride. Plus 600 elves. Has quietly crossed the imperial barrier, came to the side of the Empire grassland!!!
The three herdsmen who were captured were interrogated by the wolves once, but unfortunately. Although the elves have learned the language of human beings, they are only limited to the language of the Empire and can't speak the language of grassland people. In the team, the only one who knows what prairie people say is the muse.
But of course, the Muse would not take the initiative. She stood quietly and thought carefully.
The Muse thought these werewolves would lock themselves up with three grassland captives. But she was wrong. It seems that along the way, these guys treated themselves favorably. It's as if it's just because these elves take care of themselves. But these elves didn't seem to like the three grassland captives. From the eyes of the elves to the three grassland herdsmen, in addition to hostility, there was even a little disgust and disdain. As if one more look would dirty their eyes.
The three herdsmen, since they were not interrogated, were soon killed by the order of the wolves.
The Muse was helpless. I watched three herdsmen stabbed to death. Before he died, the young boy. And yelled in prairie dialect. When the Muse heard it, the young boy called out:
"The great wizard king will punish you monsters! The great God of the snow mountain will revenge you for the blood of the grassland children! "
That night, the Muse didn't fall asleep, and she was thinking: these wolves ride over the mountains, die, run to the grassland, why?!
Three days later, the Muse finally confirmed his guess!
They have come to the grassland!
After 20 days of trekking in the mountains, although the wolf rode elite, he was already exhausted. Because of the lack of food, in order to save food for many days, most of the wolf riders were in a state of semi starvation, and only a few elite kept adequate rations and combat effectiveness.
Under the command of dominis, the leader of wolf riding, 5000 elite wolf riding had a rest in the valley for three days, and at the same time sent several wolf riding units to search around. In three days, four hundred cavalry wolf cavalry destroyed more than ten grassland herdsmen's stockade, killed hundreds of herdsmen, and snatched back a large number of cattle, sheep and horses, all of which became food for wolf cavalry.
Three days later, Langqi, who had been trudging for nearly a month, finally recovered. Those werewolves who have regained their energy have a fierce light in their eyes. They begin to sharpen their blades, wipe their armor, and feed the giant wolves at the same time
Early that morning, at the order of the leader of the wolf riding, 5000 wolves rode away and walked out of the valley
Out of the mountain less than a few miles, the terrain in front of suddenly open up! Only before meeting, the green is thousands of miles, endless! The vast grassland, at a glance can not see the end!
In the distance, the junction of green grass and blue sky seems to connect the city!
In such an open grassland, most werewolves are seen for the first time. In addition to these small teams who went hunting before, most werewolves can't help but draw a knife and howl on the back of the giant wolf!
A wild hidden in their blood, in this blue grass and blue sky scenery was inspired out!
Wolf! Originally should be living in this between heaven and earth!
This wolf riding has become a bloody wind on the grassland!
Five thousand wolf riders and six hundred elves turned into a killing stream and walked on the grassland for three days! Three days, everywhere. Burning, killing and looting, all the small herdsmen's stockade that they encounter will be destroyed!
Although the prairie people are strong and good at riding and shooting, after all, there are only three or five hundred small herdsmen at most, and the young and strong are only 30% of the total population. When they meet such 5000 wolf riders. It's all about being bullied.
Along the way, the herdsmen's cattle and sheep became food in the belly of the wolf, and one by one the nomadic stockade was burned and killed. Wolf riders rarely encounter effective resistance.
Moreover, the wolf rode quickly, coming and going like the wind, and left with one blow. Even if several large tribes on the grassland get the news and know that such an external enemy has appeared, they are ready to organize people to resist. Wolf riding has long gone away!
The Muse followed the procession, wondering what these five thousand elite wolf riders were doing here?
Sneak behind the Empire? It's not like that.
Although 5000 wolf riders are elite, if they run to the interior of the Empire, they will have to kill themselves. Besides, it's grassland. What does burning, killing and looting here have to do with the Empire?
Finally, on the eighth day after entering the grassland.
Wolf riding meets a caravan!
This is a caravan from within the Empire. There are about 100 people in the caravan, including 30 mercenary guards of Desert Fox mercenary regiment.
See the long line of horses. Immediately hundreds of wolves roared up!
The Muse saw the caravan from a distance. On the head horse of the caravan, there was a familiar flag!
Golden Tulip flag!!
On the grassland, any caravan with tulip flag has long become the object of awe of all tribes. Due to Duwei's prestige in the northwest, even Saladin, the most powerful caravan on the grassland, has to look up to Duwei and snore. Absolutely no tribe dares to rob the caravan with tulip family flag!
But this time, looking at the original roaring wolf riding, the caravan was obviously caught off guard, and even had no time to gather the horses to form a defensive array, so it was directly defeated by the roaring wolf riding! Watching the tulip family caravan being slaughtered by wolves, the Muse blushed, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. I'm going up there to fight. But he was stopped by the elves around him. The elves are powerful. With more magic power, the Muse was pressed on the shoulder by two people. All of a sudden, I lost all my strength. I watched the caravan's 100 people being slaughtered, and dozens of mercenaries were killed at the end of the battle. Some were killed by wolves, others were killed by giant wolves, until the last one was killed! Finally, several merchants in the caravan were arrested. These merchants can not only speak the imperial language, but also know the words of grassland people. They are the captives who were specially ordered to be captured by the elves“ They need to be translated. " The Muse's heart was clear at once. Sure enough, when the elves interrogated these merchants, they did not deliberately hide from the Muses, and let the Muses stand aside. Several people are ordinary businessmen. They paid the protection fee in the tulip family territory to get the protection of the tulip flag and the escort of Desert Fox mercenary regiment. I thought I could have a safe journey, but I didn't expect to meet such a group of wolf riders who suddenly fell from the sky! Several businessmen were all shaking with fright. They were just ordinary people. They just said everything under the eyes and blade of these werewolves. The Muse listened to the truth, only heard an elf with a cold voice asked: "the road to the snow mountain, how to go!" On hearing this, Muse's face suddenly changed! Big snow mountain!! In the northwest, who doesn't know the prestige of the snow mountain on the grassland? Da Xue Shan's disciples, magical wizard... And the wizard king who was regarded as a God by grassland people!! These guys, their target is big snow mountain?! Unfortunately, although these businessmen can speak some grassland language, no one knows where the snow mountain is. The wolf cavalry is cruel and barbaric. First, ask the first one. I don't know. Just go down with a knife and cut it into two sections! Ask the second one again. I don't know. It's a knife to go down! When asked about the third prisoner, the man was shaking all over, his face was like earth, and he smelled a stink, but his trousers were wet. However, Muse strode out, coldly looking at many werewolves and elves“ Are you going to Daxueshan The Elves were all in a daze, and the Muse looked cold: "I ask you, are you going to the snow mountain?"“ Yes, we are going to the snow mountain A genie came over with a gentle face. It was the one who gave the Muse his leather boots and magic cloak when he was on the mountain“ Let them go The Muse pointed to the remaining prisoners with a firm face: "I'll take you!"
