Lord of the North

"Their garrison general is dead?" After the siege, Gwendelyn was practicing swordsmanship in the lion principality's barracks, wearing an ordinary moon-white samurai uniform. After hearing the news, her face was full of disbelief. The veteran of the Lion Principality's army, who had been attacking wildly for more than half a month, died so suddenly?

"Yes, the soldiers who retreated alive from the city wall heard them shouting to avenge the old earl." A knight answered with a bow, not even daring to lift his head in front of His Royal Highness.

"Is that so?" Gwendoline pursed her lips, thinking in her eyes, the old earl shouldn't be short of guards, right?

"I see, pay close attention to the battle situation on the city wall and report to me at any time."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Go down."

"Dead? Is it such a coincidence?" Gwendoline muttered to herself after the knight stepped back, putting the sword back into the scabbard.

...

"Everyone spread out, and the distance between two people should not exceed five meters." In the forest north of Iron Tooth Town, Dawn led the soldiers to conduct a carpet search. The key target was the person he felt a line of sight last night. place.

No matter what beast or savage it was, he felt that it was necessary to come and search, and he would always find some clues.

"My lord, there is a discovery here!" Suddenly a soldier shouted.

"Everyone stand guard!" Don raised his right hand and ordered everyone to stop, and he quickly ran to the place where the soldiers found the situation.

"My lord, I found some animal bones." The soldier reported immediately when Dawn came over.

"What animal bones?" Dorn asked. A few animal bones should not cause this well-trained soldier to make a fuss.

"A lot of animal bones are leftover bones." After the soldier finished speaking, he pulled the snow off the ground with his feet, revealing the things buried underneath.

A pile of animal bones that still had a few traces of flesh and blood left over after eating by a wild animal, with bite marks on them.

"It's a mammoth." Don didn't care whether it was clean or not, and took out a few bones: "There is also a mountain bear, it is undoubtedly a savage."

At this time, the mountain bears are hidden in the caves and cannot come out. They should be hunted by the barbarians. In winter, no wild animal is willing to provoke the mountain bears that are very angry.

"They came too early this year, right?" the soldier said solemnly.

"Maybe something happened on the ice sheet?" Dawn looked to the north, his eyes seemed to penetrate the dense forest, he thought of Rockefeller, and...Morado!

"Let's go back." Dawn stared at the north for a while, then suddenly ordered to return.

"My lord, why?" The centurion who came after that was taken aback. Didn't the newly promoted noble force come out to hunt down these barbarians?

"We don't have an advantage in fighting them in the mountains and forests, and we are even easily ambushed. Don't underestimate the wisdom of these barbarians." Don said in a deep voice, pointing to his head.

"Yes, my lord, I understand." The centurion nodded, turned around and shouted: "My lord has an order, the whole army retreats."

"What shall we do next, my lord?" Then the soldier asked again.

"Leave the forest, build a small fortification, and station here to deter these barbarians, so that they can't enter the hinterland of Iron Fang for disaster!" Dawn squinted his eyes, and could only wait until the residents of the nearby villages were all transferred to Iron Fang. After Ya Town, these people retreated again.

"I understand, my lord!" The centurion nodded solemnly. He wanted to use people like himself as bait to restrain these barbarians.

"Should we send someone back to ask for reinforcements?"

"Can."

Donne lowered his head and pondered for a while. He didn't know how many barbarians would go south this time. If he had only a hundred soldiers guarding here, he didn't know what chaos would happen.

"I'll send scouts back right away." The centurion said and turned to leave.

They brought ten scouts in this team.

Dawn observed for a while before slowly turning and leaving.

Just after they all withdrew from the forest, less than 50 meters away from where Don was standing just now, a tall figure crawled out from the snow.

Then several tall figures climbed out one after another. These figures were all about three meters tall, with mouths full of fangs, and they were eight barbarians.

"The effect of this potion is not bad, and it successfully avoided the noses of those damned hounds." A barbarian wearing bone jewelry said, if anyone is here, he will be extremely shocked, because he speaks the pure lingua franca of the mainland .

"Maybe it just has a faint unpleasant smell." Another man with scars on his face raised his arm and sniffed carefully, with disgust on his face.

"If you hadn't exposed yourself, how could we be so passive." Another barbarian said dissatisfied.

"Shut up, let's go back and tell the chief about the information here, and kill them right away before they're ready." A barbarian with an unknown beast horn hanging around his neck suddenly said, and as soon as he spoke, the others immediately It is quite now.

They are similar to the advance team of barbarians. They came to observe the defense force of the Iron Fang collar and prepare for the next invasion. However, they did not expect that several of their partners encountered humans when they went out alone, and then became murderous.

What made him even more speechless was that after killing someone, he didn't clean up the traces, which exposed his group.

And the reason why they hid here was to see if there was a chance to ambush a few humans, but they didn't expect them to act collectively instead of searching in groups.

"Whoosh!"

A sound of breaking through the air interrupted his conversation, and a barbarian beside him was shot through the throat by an arrow, and fell to the ground with a "hehe" sound.

"Run!" The barbarian in the lead shouted loudly, turned his head and fled first.

"Kill!" The Tie Ya collar soldier who had just left came back again.

"My lord's archery is really powerful." The centurion next to Dawn couldn't help touching his neck and said convincingly.

"Catch them first!" Don put down his bow and arrow, pulled out the sword on his waist and chased after him. He felt a sense of threat when he just stood there. a hunch.

So he followed his plan and led the people out of the forest. Sure enough, after a while, these barbarians with their brains full of muscles exposed themselves.

"How did they find us!" A barbarian asked panting while running.

"There is a strong man among them, I was negligent." The leader of the barbarian ran fast, and he was able to speak calmly while running.

"Brother, aren't you sure about dealing with that person?" A barbarian said, the arrow almost scared him to death just now, and the arrow just brushed his nose and flew over and shot his partner to death.

"Even if I'm sure of killing him, are you sure of escaping from this group of humans?" The leader became furious, quickened his pace, and left the group of fools behind.

"Damn it! Shoot the arrows!" The centurion chased after them for a while and found that they couldn't catch up with them at all, so he could only order angrily.

"No need, the distance is too far." Don stopped and raised his hand to stop them.

"My lord..." The centurion had a slightly ashamed expression on his face.

"Let's go, retreat, don't fall into their ambush."
