Soon after, a group of ogres returned to the Bonecrusher tribe.
Garen stood on the edge of the dragon's lair, looking to the south at the huge mountains that stretched like a dragon's spine.
Because human beings appeared frequently recently, including high-ranking mages and adult silver dragons, he felt a little uneasy.
The person the ogre captured this time looked like he was dressed like a scout.
After much thought, Garen finally decided to head south in person to investigate the situation.
………………
Under the sky of the far north ice field, a large dragon with a length of 12 meters was galloping in the sky a thousand meters high. There was a faint cloud surrounding his body, which looked like a cloud from the ground.
Garen carefully used the spell-like ability Cloud and Mist to hide his body in the cloud and mist.
In this way, when encountering humans, they will not be detected immediately by some detection magic.
He has extra-distance vision. As long as he hides a little deeper, he can easily detect them before the other party finds him.
Leaving the ice cliff dragon's nest, passing through the abandoned glacier territory, and then crossing the bowl-shaped ogre basin.........the ogre who just contributed prey to Garon
The demons haven't returned yet, but Garen has already crossed the Ogre Basin one step ahead of them, flying further south.
Garen looked down from the air and gradually discovered that the Ogre Basin was located on a path that was very suitable for movement. There were no too steep ice valley cracks or towering snow-capped mountains in front or behind.
From this point of view, it is not entirely due to luck that Wuga and Broken Bones encounter humans so easily.
The Bone Broken Tribe was originally located in the south, and they continued to move south when they were hunting. That area was already considered the edge of the Arctic Ice Sheet, and beyond that was the rolling Dragon's Back Mountains.
In addition, if you can't fly, many of the rugged landscapes in the far north ice field are not suitable for movement. For creatures like humans or ogres, there are not many real paths that can be taken.
Humans from the southern countries want to enter the far north ice field. Under such circumstances, they are likely to collide with ogres.
As time passed, Garen flew south, and the Dragon's Back Mountains in his field of vision gradually became clearer. With concentration, he could faintly see a layer of green dense forest covering the surface of the mountains, like a green cloth.
Soon, he arrived at the location mentioned by the ogre.
This is near a low snow mountain.
To be more precise, it was just a low snow hill, like a bump on the flat ground.
In the clouds and mist, Galen looked down with his eyes downcast.
Although he was thousands of meters above the ground, due to his long-distance vision, he could clearly see a messy ground covered with traces of battle and frozen bloodstains.
"This is where the ogres and the human team met."
A three-dimensional map appeared in Garen's mind, and he made a mark here.
Because he has image-level memory, he can clearly remember the places he has flown and the scenery and terrain he has seen. A three-dimensional three-dimensional map will gradually form in his mind, and it will become more complete as he explores the world.
Some true dragons have a hobby of traveling throughout the continent.
At the same time, Garen smelled a human scent.
His eyes condensed, the dragon wings vibrated, and his body quickly lifted up. When there were no obstructions in his field of vision, he looked into the distance.
More than ten kilometers away, a dense group of small black dots like ants were moving slowly but firmly.
If you look more closely, you can find that around these dense black dots, there are smaller groups of black dots that seem to be exploring the path.
They were fully armed human warriors, quite large in scale.
There were approximately two thousand people.
As soon as he thought, the clouds and mist around him became thicker, as if they merged into the white sky, and not even a single dragon scale could be seen.
Immediately, Garen controlled the speed without bringing up too violent airflow, and slowly flew towards the position of the human army.
A human army of this size......Warriors, spellcasters, priests, and archers will all basically exist.
In order not to be discovered, Garen flew very high, with a sea of clouds all around him and a sky as clear as a mirror above his head.
When he was close enough to see the opponent's layout clearly, Garen looked at this human army of unknown origin carefully.
It was similar to what he thought before, the number was around 2,000, mainly cavalry.
Their mounts are not ordinary beasts. They have a faint elemental aura and contain the blood of magical creatures. They are still in good condition in the cold Arctic ice fields.
These knights are tall and tall, wearing heavy iron armor, carrying large shields behind their backs, and carrying swords at their waists. There is no other noise in the entire team except the sound of footsteps. The rigorous formation reveals a kind of chill that has been experienced in many battles.
breath.
Garen saw the emblem of thorns.
This means that these people are from the principality of Mosha.
"The human army of the Mosha Principality..."
"Are you here for the two dead high-ranking mages?"
Garen whispered to himself.
The status of spellcasters has always been lofty, especially high-ranking mages.
They often take sides in wars because they are influenced by national blood or human ties. If the leader of a country wants to order a high-ranking mage, it is not an easy task without a suitable reason.
Now there are two high-ranking mages fighting for the Principality of Mosha, but they have lost their news in the far north ice field and are most likely dead... In order to show that they take this matter seriously, regardless of the outcome, the Principality of Mosha sent troops to investigate.
A necessary thing.
If ignored, the Principality of Mosha will be spurned by the entire group of spell casters and will continue to decline in the future. In the Noah continent, if the country does not have spell casters, it will have no right to speak.
Given the cold and low temperatures in the Arctic ice fields, if you were wearing ordinary armor, let alone marching, you would be thankful that you didn't freeze to death.
What moved Garen very much was that the equipment of these knights were all magic items. The heavy armor was engraved with some runes and exuded a subtle elemental aura.
Although it is a standard product, as long as it is a magic item, it will be very expensive. For a principality to cultivate such an army of two thousand people, it will have to pay a considerable resource price.
"Or, not just to show attitude, they seem to have a clear purpose."
Garen looked thoughtful.
The equipment of these 2,000-man team is extremely well-equipped.
Just to show the attitude, there is no need to mobilize elites of this level. It is enough to summon some ordinary soldiers and let them die gloriously in the arctic ice field.
In addition, there was a knight in front of the army who was extremely tall, more than two meters tall, with a huge back and waist, and was extremely burly.
His face was wrapped in a metal helmet, and only a pair of calm brown eyes were exposed. Garen felt a vague threat from this knight.
The armor on his body is engraved with runes, and some places are inlaid with small magic crystals, and the aura is quite bright.
This is most likely a high-ranking warrior with a body as strong as steel.
In Noah's Land, other extraordinary power systems other than spell casters are also based on elemental energy, but they are used in completely different ways, and their methods are very single compared to spell casters.
It is difficult for high-ranking warriors to compare with high-ranking mages in terms of status and strength.
If it is a high-ranking mage, the opponent may have noticed the presence of Gallon. Mage has many detection methods, and it is difficult to escape the detection of a high-ranking mage by relying only on the cloud and mist technique.
But this does not mean that high-level warriors are weak.
Among the ranks of heavy armored knights, there are also many spellcasters, priests, etc., who are constantly casting auxiliary spells to help the army advance.
There was no one among them that Garen felt afraid of.
The sudden appearance of such a powerful army in the inaccessible Far North Icefield made Garen slightly frightened.
"However, whether it is the two high-ranking mages who pursued them all the way from the Southern Principality to the Far North Icefield, or this powerful army... they are beyond the scope of pursuit."
Pursuit is to eliminate the enemy and prevent the other party from retaliating.
But this is not worth using such a level of troops. If they just want to kill Moulton, the price they pay has far exceeded the gain.
Unless...Moulton has something in his hands that they want to get at this cost.
Garen moved his tongue and touched the space ring at the bottom of his tongue.
Red Flame Staff......There is something very wrong with this staff.
What could be the source of that vague sense of connection?
