Xu Shuo didn't eat a single bite of the last barbecue.
The Silver Duke ate most of the food, and Zuo Fang quietly ate the other half, completely forgetting to earn the Pope's deduction points. After eating, everyone clapped their hands and got ready for action.
"I will send people to keep a close eye on the bishop in white. Let's go to the Far North Mountains first. The situation there is even more severe."
The Silver Duke's tone was unequivocal.
Everyone is now in his silver castle. Even if they have objections to this, it is probably not suitable to raise it and enforce it.
Unless everyone has a fight on the spot first, regardless of everything, whoever wins will listen to whoever wins.
But that's not necessary.
The Duke of Silver had already arranged the horses, and Zuo Fang, who arrived later, did not need to change his clothes. He followed the two of them with some dampness from the wind and snow before leaving.
It is also an advantage that the Silver Castle is close to the edge of the city wall. There is no need for everyone to cover up too much. They leave directly from the side door of the castle and ride their horses towards the distant Far North Mountains in the night.
Although the mountain range seems not far away, the distance from the city-state to the Far North Mountains is actually dozens of kilometers.
However, there are no woods or ridges along the road, only some criss-crossing hills and low shrubs occasionally, and the rest is all ice sheet and frozen soil.
The snow was falling heavily, and the three figures seemed to be drowned by a vast river of white clouds.
"There used to be a lot of forests here, but in order to make it easier to observe the movements of monsters in the Far North Mountains, they were all cleared, and then they stopped growing."
When passing by a dense bush, the Silver Duke said casually.
They are cut off as soon as they appear, or when they are half grown. Even leeks cannot withstand such cutting methods.
It is not easy to grow in the harsh fantasy world of ice and snow, so after being cut down hundreds of times, the forest simply stopped growing, and only some strong shrubs still persisted.
But none of the plants here are green.
They are single in color, gray and dull.
The branches of these plants are as hard as steel, and even the leaves that grow out are covered with ice crystals, which can cut human skin directly with a little force.
There was no sentiment at all, and the already dead ice field seemed even more desolate.
Xu Shuo turned his head and looked around.
There are many large and small holes in the snow. Some of them seem to be pits made by hailstones, and some of them can be seen from the footprints of some large species.
Over the past few hundred years, this place has suffered a lot of attacks. In fact, it might be useful if the Great Wall was built here.
However, the resources possessed by the Silver City-State were not enough for them to build such a protective circle for themselves, and the Saint-Varo royal family did not want to come up with such manpower and material resources.
Anyway, I can usually hold on to it.
Then why bother with this?
Totally unnecessary!
…
After spending more than half an hour.
Everyone finally arrived at the foot of the Eiger, a corner of the Far North Mountains.
The heavy snow and the mist are intertwined together. Looking up, the mountain peaks seem to merge with the sky. It is difficult to tell where the peak is, let alone where the end of this mountain range is.
The bright moonlight fell down, and only a piece of cold white snow could be seen.
The Silver Shield Legion is stationed at the foot of this mountain.
Because the three of them might have something to whisper about outside the world, Duke Silver did not let anyone else follow him, but led the two of them up the mountain.
The terrain here is complicated, but it is not difficult for three players to walk.
Soon we reached the top of the mountain.
Looking from the top of the mountain, there is a huge canyon in the distance. In the canyon, dense black things are moving, crowded together, exuding bursts of cold blood.
However, the blackness is not because those things are all black, but because there are too many of those things, which makes a dark color appear.
In this vast expanse of ice and snow, that area is particularly conspicuous, and even the night cannot hide it.
Duke Silver said calmly: "This is what I want to bring you here to see. It appeared after the battle that night."
Those dense things in the canyon.
All monsters!
You don’t even have to count them. When you look at the number of monsters that fill the entire Eiger Canyon, you can tell that there are probably hundreds of thousands of monsters!
Moreover, the entire Far North Mountain Range is vast and boundless. This is only the Eiger peak close to the Silver City-State. There may be more Warcraft lurking in other places!
Zuo Fang smacked his tongue, immediately suffering from trypophobia, and rubbed his arms.
"How many fights did you have that night?" he asked.
"It's only two or three thousand, and it seems to be a hastily gathered Warcraft race that often wanders around. So if it weren't for that bloodline suppression, our Silver Shield could have kept that woman." Duke Silver said with a frown.
When he talks about this matter, his originally calm and gentle mood seems to fluctuate, which shows that he is quite brooding about it.
Fight openly and honestly as promised.
It turns out that woman actually cheated!
When he found out that he was being suppressed by his bloodline and being ridiculed by the opponent, the Silver Duke was furious, and then this little bit of anger forced him to activate the character card.
Very good, it seems that the character himself looks down on this bit of elven blood!
But the side missions are really difficult.
——[Let the Silver City-State no longer be attacked by Warcraft.]
It’s hard to start and even harder to finish.
Although the character himself already wants to leave the Far North, as a Silver City-state that has been passed down and protected by the family for generations, it is impossible for the character himself not to have any emotions.
Judging from the content of the side missions, this feeling is even more profound. Even if I have to leave, I still want to arrange the funeral arrangements here.
But the Duke of Silver felt that unless all the magical beasts in the Far North Mountains were exterminated, and even the elves needed to be completely exterminated, this attack would not be able to end.
Killing an entire clan for one city?
It does sound very passionate.
But it has to be done.
Although the Silver Duke thought it was impossible, he still arranged for the Silver Shield Legion to conduct exploration deep into the Far North Mountains.
Then I discovered these gathered monsters.
"Not only here, we have discovered a large number of Warcraft gathered in three places in the past few days, and the Eiger is the closest place to the Silver City-State. This is why I dare not leave the Far North." The Silver Duke said slowly.
There are too many spies in Silver City State.
People from the Holy See, people from the empire, and even people from the elves are possible.
If he had just left, Silver City would have been overwhelmed by the army of Warcraft, and the side mission would have ended before it even started.
It may even affect the final camp mission, which really means there is no place to cry.
Looking at the army of monsters occupying the entire canyon in the distance, Xu Shuo pondered for a long time and finally said: "So, what are you going to do?"
Duke Silver looked at him: "What do you think I should do?"
The man's silver-white eyes were calm, and they looked at each other with a pair of equally calm eyes, and there was a faint conflict of cold energy.
Zuo Fang looked at Duke Silver, and then at Xu Shuo.
Although they didn't know what was going on, the two seemed to be testing each other.
Anyway, Zuo Fang never thought that Xu Shuo would be the kind of person who would take the initiative to follow other people's arrangements and would sincerely accept other people's suggestions - this guy didn't listen carefully to what others said.
And Zuo Fang didn't think that the Silver Duke would be the kind of person who would just let things go. On the contrary, the other party was very thoughtful and took the initiative to kidnap people.
Both of them have their own ideas.
But if everyone is not going to play their own game, the team must always have a leader.
