Chapter 398: War is being told, and a glimpse of the future is revealed

The Empire sent a powerful legend to the Northern Wind Province, and what surprised Ryan was that this legend actually belonged to Meyers.

“The legendary ‘demon hunter’ Rosalind. His title is Demon Hunter. What he hunts is not magicians, but demons.”

“More than three Demon Dukes died at his hands. Such a legend is enough to fight against the werewolf king and other legendary chieftains of the werewolf clans.”

“But they definitely don’t know where the war is going.”

No matter who it is, they can’t kill the other party. All Rosalind can do is to prevent the legendary power from descending on an ordinary battlefield.

Knight Mulan looked at Ryan. With the arrival of the legendary Rosalind, what would the baron’s plan be?
“Mr. Mulan, are you worried about the divine bone potion? I don’t trust this Rosalind.”

Ryan shook his head and laughed.

“I want to protect my frozen land, but it is clear that this demon hunter will not live in my frozen land.”

“I will not give up this place. If the price of the divine bone potion cannot stop the orcs, then I will pay more.”

“Does Lord Mulan believe me?”

Ryan’s voice made Mulan a little dazed. He didn’t know why a baron was so confident, but…

“Baron Ryan has never lost any war, and I think this time will be no exception.”

I am not so confident in myself. Ryan turned and left. After all, news from afar is as ethereal as the wind. What is important is to keep your feet on the ground.

The war is still going on. The fortress defense line in the mountains and forests is harassed by tens of thousands of orcs every day. This is the key point.

Ahead is a continuous thorn bush, and in the thorn bush, there is only a passage that is no more than ten meters wide. This passage is not the only direction for the orcs to come, but it is the passage of the most powerful orcs.

The violent war bears were guarding the intersection, and behind them were the fortress defense line that was several hundred meters away.

The fortress built by Ryan has not yet been engraved with magic arrays, so those extraordinary orc warriors must leave the fortress to block the enemy, otherwise the powerful orc warriors are fully capable of breaking through the fortress.

“Brothers, rush!”

Bogeld shouted and killed the werewolves that rushed out, and used the thorn bushes on both sides to prevent the werewolves from approaching in large numbers.

In those fortresses, the soldiers were the vanguard and the civilians were the logistics. They constantly thrust their weapons through the gaps to kill the orcs approaching from the outside. The powerful knights charged onto the battlefield. Their strength made the orcs afraid, but the advantage in numbers allowed the orcs to overwhelm the knights who made mistakes.

This is the scene every day and every hour. No one in the entire North Wind Province knows about the tragic war in the Frozen Territory.

But they held on to this place tightly, preventing the orcs from crossing the fortress defense line on a large scale and appearing in the rear.

But obviously, there are always orcs who are lucky enough not to come into contact with the front line and appear under Winter City.

The Stag Legion patrolled the city. The scattered orcs could not pose a threat here, but the terraces outside the city and the farmers on the mountains were inevitably frightened.

The knights’ patrol range had to be expanded to the surrounding areas. As time went on, the number of orcs increased, and the area centered on Winter City undoubtedly became another battlefield.

The frozen land has more than 200,000 people.

At this moment, there are at least 150,000 soldiers in the Frozen Territory.

“We have already lost our homeland once, and this is our new homeland. For Lion, we cannot fail. In order to survive, we have no reason to give this land to the evil orcs.”

“We have faced many enemies, but only the North makes us despair.”

“We will bury those damn orcs in the snow of the North!”

Bards can always move people’s hearts. When winter comes and the first snowstorm comes, the voices of the bards give the people of the Frozen Territory infinite strength.

War creates heroes, and those dazzling figures on the battlefield gradually become heroes in the mouths of poets.

“The latest news, this is not a story, let us first mourn deeply.”

The bard clasped the stone on his chest with both hands, lowered his head, and spoke of the glory of the dead, and then began to describe the war to the people around him.

“Just last night, when most soldiers were asleep, the werewolves of the Earl clan launched an attack. They moved through the quiet mountains and forests like shadows in the dark night.”

“We all know the thorny jungle called Nastrund, a world of thorns that is said to be traversable only by the most agile warriors. Apparently, the werewolves of the swift Earl clan are such warriors.”

“The thorn forest was no obstacle to them. Every werewolf jumped on the sharp thorns. It was hard to imagine that they would not fall down even though they were so tall.”

“They leaped and rushed. The trees could not block the vision of Earl’s werewolves. Above the dense tree canopy, Earl’s werewolves were even able to use them to block the soldiers’ eyes.”

“In the dead of night, on a battlefield that even the beautiful Lady Moon could not illuminate, these werewolves were like ghosts, and they approached our army.”

When the bard said this, everyone around him became nervous, fearing that the next sentence would be that the werewolf’s claws would tear open the soldier’s chest, its sharp fangs would pierce the throat, and devour the human’s blood.

“Just at this moment, Commander Brand appeared.”

“He stood alone in front of hundreds of werewolves from the Earl clan. The stag supported his steps, allowing him to quickly approach the werewolves. The knight’s sword in his hand was the ‘Snow Dragon’s Song’. Master Brock said that the knight’s sword in Lord Brand’s hand was the best knight’s sword he had forged besides the legendary weapon.”

“The knight’s sharp sword cut through the dark shadows and nailed the werewolf to the tree. The struggling werewolf tried to tear open the armor on Lord Brand with his claws, but his strength was getting weaker and weaker.”

“Master Brand has killed the werewolf, but this is not the end, but the beginning. More werewolves are angry and are biting at Master Brand. They have turned into wolves the same color as the snow and wind, and have ferocious wolf heads like humans. In the darkness, countless werewolves from all directions are rushing towards Master Brand.”

After the bard finished speaking, his face turned red and he swallowed his saliva, and the people around him became even more excited.

“What happened next? What happened next?”

“Later, Lord Brand used a shield in one hand and a knight’s sword in the other to kill all the damn werewolves. When dawn came, only corpses were left around. Brand’s armor was covered in blood, but not a drop of it was his own.”

Some people in the crowd couldn’t help but become suspicious.

“But how could Lord Brand be there? He should be guarding Lord Baron at Rhino Horn Mountain.”

“Yes, that’s right. Lord Brand is a noble knight. He abides by the honor and code of chivalry. He should guard the Baron’s mansion.”

The bard glanced at the people around him and snorted coldly.

“How could you guys know that Lord Baron Ryan was on the battlefield last night?”

“In the words of the Baron, he doesn’t know whether his people can muster the courage to resist the evil orcs, but as a lord, he will lead the way and fight at the forefront.”

“The Baron actually appeared on the battlefield in the dark.”

Everyone around was a little shocked. Although most of them had never experienced the rule of the nobles, they knew very well that everything in the Frozen Territory was Ryan’s wealth. As a result, Ryan actually appeared on the battlefield.

“We are not afraid of death. None of the people of Gam are afraid of death.”

Some people in the crowd were dissatisfied and shouted, even those wearing wild animal skins started to scream.

“That’s right, the people of Gam never fear death!”

The bard pushed through the crowd and headed towards the tavern. He still had a lot of things to do and didn’t want to get excited with the crowd.

“Lord Brand has become even more powerful. He actually killed more than two hundred werewolves in the dark night.”

“The same goes for the Bucks. They were Baron Ryan’s earliest knight squires. If my limbs were not too thin at the time, I could have become Baron Ryan’s squire like my brother.”

“Yes, it was very easy to get the blessing from the Baron at that time. All you had to do was be strong. It’s not like now, where you have to study. Haha, those damn little bastards are so sad all day long.”

“It’s so refreshing to drink hot water. Take the rest of the hot water with you. I have to go.”

“Where are you going so soon?” The man in the tavern poured boiling water into the minstrel’s kettle and watched the minstrel put on his deerskin hood to protect him from the wind and snow.

“We need to go to Zero Crossing City. The one who fought last night was not only Lord Brand, but also Lord Egil. However, as you know, Lord Egil is not liked by the people of Winter City. They once had a serious grudge.”

“But those adventurers in Lingdu City admire the lone Lord Egil very much. They think that Lord Egil is a brave man.”

“Will the people of Zero Crossing City organize themselves to fight against the orcs?”

“I don’t know. That’s not my mission. We just need to do our job well. I don’t think the orcs will plunder our land.”

Lingdu City.

For the adventurers in the Northern Brave Guild, no matter the first adventurer to try something new or the Mad Wolf Sack who was the first to form a team, they could only be regarded as part of the after-dinner conversation. They could never find a dazzling adventurer, someone who had the potential to become a brave hero.

But recently, people seem to have a gathering of faith, and feel that someone with the potential to become a hero has appeared.

“Knight Egil led his three white wolves into the North and killed a large number of orcs. At night, the werewolves’ eyes could ignore the darkness, but in the dark, Egil was able to slaughter those damned werewolves.”

“Lord Egil is so powerful. I have seen the heads of those werewolves. They are more terrifying than wild beasts and can easily kill ordinary people.”

“This reminds me of Lord Embers Knight that day. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen Lord Embers Knight for a long time. Maybe he just passed by Zero Crossing City.”

People regretted that the Knight who called himself Ashes made them feel that the hero was not so far away, but now so much time has passed and the Knight of Ashes has never come to Zero Crossing City for the second time.

But he is known as the first adventurer.

Although he was not the first one recorded, people prefer the first brave man to bring back the orc head.

“Damn orcs, they actually invaded the North Wind Province again. Why am I not a knight? If I were a knight, I would chop off the heads of all the orcs with my sword!”

In the distance, Liam Hutton was sitting on the second floor of a stone house drinking wine. The fiery energy brought by the strong liquor dispelled the coldness brought by the wind and snow falling from the sky.

The orcs moved south and invaded human lands. There were a large number of orcs in the Xiangshan Plain, but for Lingdu County, they would rather focus on the war in the Frozen Territory, because once Baron Ryan failed, the orcs here would first overwhelm Lingdu County.

The nobles were of course well aware of the difference between near and far, so they paid more attention to places with greater threats.

Many nobles were praying for Ryan to win, because this would not only preserve the noble territory of Lingdu County, but also free up their hands to command the war in the Xiangshan Plain Fortress. They all believed that Baron Ryan could win the war there.

In the noble territories, many young people are eager to build merits and careers in this war environment, but the nobles are afraid and stop their children from having children. Some nobles are even arranging for their eldest sons to leave the North Wind Province and go to the south.

Family heritage is above all else.

“No, no, my father will never agree to this.”

In the Barony of Hatton, as the eldest son of Baron Hatton, Liam had the backbone to not leave the North Wind Province, but stayed in the safe city of Zero Crossing.

Over the past few days, he had heard a lot about the battle situation in the Frozen Territory, and he was particularly concerned when others compared him with Egil.

“Egil, a name I have never heard of. Is there such a person under Baron Ryan’s command?”

Lian En knew Brand, and he thought that there was a gap in strength between him and Brand. That gap made him despair, and he could only comfort himself by saying that he was the heir of the nobility.

But Egil, he had not heard it before, but the tales told by the bards are never wrong, they never tell a tale that is not confirmed.

Those bards wearing the Tundra Territory badge have become a symbol of the North Wind Province. Those who doubt them will be questioned, but the bards’ words will always be recognized.

Lian was a little curious, because the warhorse and armor that Baron Ryan had given him were still in his home.

“Father will definitely not agree to my hunting orcs.”

Lian En is well aware that he has family responsibilities and cannot take risks.

But he was still moved.

“Maybe… I can also form a team.”

“yes!!!”

Liam woke up in shock. He was also an adventurer and a hero, so why couldn’t he form an adventure team?

And who can have more advantages than yourself?
That evening, many people in Lingdu City saw a majestic knight riding across the street and heading to the Northern Brave Guild.

“It’s Lord Embers Knight.”

Standing outside the Northern Brave Guild, Liam explained to people why he had disappeared for a while.

“I am loyal to my lords and nobles, and I will faithfully practice the chivalric code and follow the honor of chivalry.”

“But I also have a certain amount of freedom. My lord is very kind.”

So, on that day, the registration of the Ash Adventure Group caused an uproar in Lingdu City.

Many people signed up enthusiastically, and a small number of them even reached the physical strength of apprentice knights.

“Become a member of the Ashes, and I will help them qualify to be promoted to knights!”

Lian En’s words spread quickly in Lingdu City. Many people were surprised that a knight loyal to the nobility would actually form an adventure group. This was the first time.

“To become a hero is to kill the evil orcs. Can’t a knight kill orcs?”

The question from the Ash Knight made people laugh. When it comes to dealing with orcs, the Knight is the main force.

However, the choice of the Ash Knight also made some knights who came from afar in Lingdu City think deeply.

A new door seemed to open in front of them.

However, before this, the nobility was a threshold that could not be crossed, and they did not know what kind of relationship the Ash Knight had with the lord he was loyal to that he could achieve this.

“Perhaps, this adventure group was originally founded by nobles?”

The knights’ eyes lit up.

Lian En didn’t know what kind of feat he had accomplished. He was immersed in power, a different kind of power from that of an heir to a noble family.

The status of the eldest son of the baron was innate, and the hereditary authority was boring to him.

But looking at the loyal support of the dozen or so members of the adventure team around him made him ecstatic.

Yes, that’s right, aristocrats have their own ways.

“ash……”

Lian’s eyes were filled with longing. He could never forget the first large-scale war he participated in with Baron Ryan. The ashes flying in the sky seemed to be everything to him.

That war determined the future of the North Wind Province, and at that time, he was just an ordinary member of it.

The historical records would mention the Hatton family, but they would not describe the battles of Liam Hatton.

Lian En wants to become a legendary hero.

And how many people’s dreams are buried in this war with the orcs?
