Bab 128: Expeditionary Force

Unferth put a black armored hand to his helmeted chin as he peered down at the pile of goblin corpses before him. His eyes flashed as two green points of light through his helmet, and his breaths rattled as they sucked in through the filtration system of his All-Environment Suit.

Fjall was as cold as everyone said it was.

No, the stories did not do it justice.

Unferth was no stranger to cold.

Winters in Mercia were dreadful too, and there was once a time when dwarves like him had to hole up underground to watch them pass by.

Though with the Enlightening from the great god Wodin, there was no need to crawl around in the dirt anymore.
