The morning sun rose slowly, and the sky paled slightly.
Approaching the winter, the cold wind was howling, and on the road in front of the castle's main entrance, Pariste was wearing silver armor with a long sword on his waist, and he was walking in stride, with a pungent smell of blood on his body. It seems to have just experienced a battle.
When he reached the castle, Pariste paused and opened the door.
"Where is Master Enzo?"
As soon as he entered the castle, a valet came forward, and Pariste took off the long sword at his waist and handed it to the other party to wipe it.
"Master Enzo is in the living room and just had breakfast." The valet took the sword respectfully and replied.
Pariste turned his head and walked straight to the living room.
"Is there a problem?"
Enzo was a little surprised when he saw Pariste. Since he handed over the management task of Kaiyuan City to the other party, Pariste rarely came to the castle during the rest of the time except for reporting every four days, and since the last report, Only two days have passed.
"While patrolling the border of Kaiyuan City this morning, the soldiers below found the brutal bandits of the Bloodhand Gang near the Ice Punishment Forest."
Pariste leaned slightly and was very respectful.
"I led a squad of cavalry to clear them and wiped out the blood-handed bandits. When I was about to return to the city, I was suddenly attacked by a [snowman Bear], killing and wounding many soldiers, and failed to kill it. dead!"
"A snowman bear appeared near the ice punishment forest?" Enzo frowned slightly.
Snowman bear is a kind of rare monster, generally active in the far north of the cold plain.
According to books, the snowman bear has a violent temperament and infinite strength. It can grow up to more than three meters in length as an adult. It has a white body and a very tough fur. The swords of ordinary warriors can't cause damage to it. Only knights with fighting spirit can fight it. contend.
"Yes, an adult snowman bear." Pariste looked solemn and said, "Although I don't know why this snowman bear appeared near the ice punishment forest, it belongs to Kaiyuan City after all. If it is not dealt with in time , It is likely to pose a threat to the town."
"So, I hope to go to the Ice Punishment Forest with the Truu knight to hunt down the snowman bear!"
"Yes, sending out 200 cavalary, plus the trout knight to assist you, should be enough to hunt down the snowman bear." Enzo pondered for a moment, raised his head and said, "It just so happens that I haven't seen a snowman bear either. Go ahead."
"This... well, as you wish." Pariste hesitated slightly, but still bowed and nodded.
...
Outside Kaiyuan city, on the road to the north.
The cold wind howled, the fine snow was flying like fluff, and a group of black armored cavalry riding high-headed horses were marching towards the distance.
This team of knights is advancing vigorously, with more than 200 people. The young knight in charge is well-proportioned, riding a white steed under his hips, with a delicate short blade hung around his waist, and looks calm in the wind and snow, and his handsome face is full of indifference. .
Close behind are two tall black horses standing side by side.
The knight on the left is wearing silver armor and looks solemn, always paying attention to the surrounding movement, while the knight on the right is burly, with his muscles exploding and full of wild power, looking like a humanoid monster.
This line of cavalry was exactly Enzo and others who went to the Ice Punishment Forest to hunt down the snowman bear.
"I'm approaching the Ice Punishment Forest soon, pay attention!" Pariste, who was walking forward, wearing silver armor, said loudly.
The cavalry team walked on the road, and they could already see the ice penalty forest in the distance, and the closer they got, they could smell a faint smell of blood. On the wilderness on both sides of the road, you could also find traces of battle and some blood The stump has a broken arm.
Paris Terra tightened the reins, leaned forward to Enzo, and pointed not far away.
"The brutal bandits of the blood hand gang were active near this area."
Following the direction of Pariste's finger, Enzo saw several corpses lying in the wild not far away. It seemed that they had been gnawed by wild animals not long ago. At this moment, they were completely different and looked terrible.
"Since the leader of the Bloodhand Gang'Abel' was beheaded by the Clarence Knight 7 days ago, the remnants of the Bloodhand Gang have fled everywhere."
"These guys should have come from Beacon Town." Pariste pointed to the distance.
Enzo nodded slightly, and the crusaders entered the wilderness 20 days ago. After discovering the blood hand gang's lair, they proceeded to clear it up. Under the iron hoof charge, the seemingly crowded bandit was vulnerable. After several rounds of attack It was shattered, and even the invincible bandit leader'Abel' was also beheaded by the Knights of Wildfire Town.
After that, the Bloodhand Gang fell into chaos and fled around under the harvest of the cavalry.
"After all, it's just a group of bandits, how can you resist the cavalry's iron hoof trampling." Enzo sighed with emotion, "It seems that the destruction of the Bloodhand Gang is just a matter of time."
"Indeed, winter is approaching, and with Clarence's surrender in the wilderness, the brutal bandits of the Bloodhand Gang will not be able to support it for long." Pariste head said.
As the two spoke, they were already close to the Ice Punishment Forest. Pariste waved his hand, and the cavalry behind him divided into several teams, each entering the forest from different directions, and started looking for the snowman bears according to the surrounding traces.
Enzo and Pariste led a part of the cavalry to search south of the forest.
The climate of the Frozen Land is biased towards the cold. Snow often falls throughout the year. The plants that can survive in the icy penalty forest have adapted to the cold. Most of the trees here are called cypress trees. Planting trees grow slowly, but the branches and leaves are exceptionally lush.
The cavalry squad moved forward while clearing branches and leaves on the road.
"The Ice Punishment Forest is close to Kaiyuan City. According to the rules of previous years, as long as the winter is over, Master O'Queen will lead the army to wander around in order to expel the monsters that may appear." Pariste is always paying attention to the surrounding dynamics, To Enzo exhorted, "It has been more than half a year since the last raid. Apart from snowman Bear, no one knows if there are any other monsters here, so please be careful."
Enzo couldn't deny it and nodded slightly.
The team continued to move forward. Not far away, a few white birds flew towards the sky, screaming.
Suddenly, a roar came from the forest.
"It's here, everyone, be careful!!!"
In the forest not far away, the soldiers' exclamation was heard, followed by a roar of noise and the neigh of war horses.
