All one thousand men of [Zhan Long] slowly pushed forward. Afterall, we weren’t in any rush. It was fine if we just followed the NPCs.
After twenty minutes, flurries of snow covered the sky and the temperature slowly dropped. The Ice Ridge Mountain was known as the Great Wall of the North. It was several hundred meters high and helped the people of the mainland hold off the threat from the North. However, that didn’t mean that they would have peace forever. The strength of the Northern Demons was growing stronger and stronger by the day and they were also beginning to get restless. That was most likely the main reason why Luo Lei sent out soldiers to the Graveyard of Heroes to find the godly weapon.
“So cold…”
Qing Qian shivered as she wrapped her cloak more tightly around herself. Even Wan Er’s lips were pale. The two assassin girls’ equipment was made for the sake of simplicity and elegance. But at a time like this, they were the coldest. Dong Chen walked over and with a flick of her wrist, a ball of fire rose in her palm. She then smiled, “Wan Er, come here and warm yourself up…”
Wan Er smiled, “A mage really is the bane of nature, so helpful…”
Old K raised his battle axe. His barbarian berserker’s physique really was astonishing. A cape rested upon the shoulder pads of his armor and only a bit of his arm could be seen. A simple leather wrapped around his armor, revealing the strong muscles underneath. He laughed, “Females really can’t endure that much. How come I don’t feel the least bit cold? Ha ha ha….”
Dong Cheng glared at him and then curled her finger. A sliver of frost magic flew towards Old K’s nose, practically freezing it with ice. He retreated several steps, “Motherf*cker that’s cold!”
Dancing Forest and Qing Qian both giggled.
Li Mu looked up into the distance and said, “Why are all of those NPC’s not setting off from Dragon City?”
Instantly, I replied, “North of Dragon City is all thousands of meter high cliffs. There isn’t a single slope. If we try to go down from there, most of us would probably fall to our deaths.”
Wang Jian nodded, “Let’s see what Luo Lin decides!”
In the distance, Luo Lin lead his horse forward towards the bottom of the Ice Ridge Mountains and looked up at the ice walls, “Looks like we can only try to climb up the Ice Ridge Mountains from here!”
Frost looked up and said, “My lord, if we go up from here, then there will be no way for us to bring our battle horses.”
Luo Lin said, “I know, however, this is the only portion of mountain towards the north that has a little bit of a slope. Besides, we’re still pretty far from the Blood Plains, we won’t attract any monsters here.”
“Ok then!” Frost replied with a smile.
At that moment, Luo Lin and a Ba Huang General NPC walked towards us. Above the NPC was a line of characters, “Military Supervisor Wang Xuan”. He was probably one of Ba Huang City’s royal family. Wang Xuan raised his long spear and looked up at the sky and remarked, “Luo Lin, this slope is incredibly high. Naturally, with your strength, you wouldn’t fear these mountains. But what about the 2000 brave soldiers that we brought from Ba Huang City? They may not be able to survive such a climb. If they fall to their deaths then whose responsibility is it?”
Luo Lin was startled, “General Wang Xuan, when we set out, my father said that I will take over everything. There is no need for you to ask such questions, I understand the dangers.”
“You understand the dangers?” Wang Xuan let out a cold laugh, “You managed to get someone else to kill the army commander Purple Star, Raikes, Lin Huang, and Luo Ge, gaining all the military power of the four great armies. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re trying to do. It is true that you are the duke’s only son and this country will eventually pass down into your hands. But do not forget, for every day that Duke Luo Lei does not die, Ba Huang City remains his. Only when he give sit to you, is it yours. Otherwise you won’t be able to take it anyway!”
Luo Lei gritted his teeth, “Wang Xuan, just what are you saying?”
Wang Xuan softly said, “You know better than anyone what I mean!”
On the side, Su Ke raised his battle axe and shouted, “Wang Xuan, watch your mouth. Don’t forget that you are standing before both Ba Huang City’s prince and the Lord of Dragon City. Lord Luo Lin has spent his entire life guarding the Northern Gate. He doesn’t have the same crafty calculating moves that you Ba Huang City people have. Don’t think that just because your officer position is something incredible that you are all safe. If you provoke me, then I’ll kill you with just a swing of my axe!”
Wang Xuan smiled coldly, “Why don’t you come try and kill me? I want to see whether or not these 2000 brave soldiers of Ba Huang City are willing to listen to the command of your Lord Luo Lin!”
Su Ke didn’t say anything back. Luo Lin immediately shouted, “Su Ke, stop talking!”
