The north wind was biting, and snowflakes slowly fell on the heads of the refugees.
[You and your team are trudging along the Flin Ancient Road. Hunger and cold are persuading every weak body to fall down. The morale of the team is low, and you must do something. ]
"Fortunately, it hasn't started to rain yet. Let the wolf riders drag the food to the valley."
Ken pointed to a gentle entrance at the end of his sight and said.
"The team will camp there tonight. Only by stepping in can we avoid being frozen to death by the cold wind. Tell everyone, even if you have to crawl, you have to crawl over!"
Quima asked the wolf riders to escort the food.
He didn't ride, and walked with his formation.
The refugees were miserable - pushing their belongings and walking on the mountain road of the Flin Ancient Road that was like ice chips, no one dared to stop.
But some people who shuttled among them acted as if nothing had happened.
Since they left the Duwa tribe, they often helped refugees in various situations. They had strange personalities, were unwilling to accept thanks, and some even refused to communicate.
The giant [Langzi] is a slightly more extroverted one among the Heilas.
He is tall and strong, and can't quickly reduce his presence. His gnarled muscles are full of explosive power, and he can easily carry the overturned carriage on the roadside back to its original position.
"I hope I can be as strong as you."
The refugee expressed his gratitude and said enviously. "If I wasn't so thin, I should be able to reach Sandonkaya alive."
"You will, drink it."
Langzi threw the winter grass wine to the people around him.
He likes the pure brew that is spicy to the throat, not this kind of urine with a strong medicinal smell.
These things were seized by Ken when he defeated the bandits in [Kue Village]. The quantity is limited, and they are distributed to the [Heilas] along with other equipment.
Prove your value and you can enjoy more resources.
Everyone understands this. For example, if you can chop enough firewood before dark, you will have thick soup delivered to you after nightfall.
Ken is a leader who keeps his word. As long as you are strong and hardworking enough, he will fulfill his promise and let you continue to survive in the wilderness of Pallotusby.
The refugees rolled and crawled into the valley.
They piled up the windbreak with their luggage and huddled beside the fire to keep warm. Occasionally, someone would breathe out, rub their hands, and look up.
The militiamen were running and gathering. On the back of the most conspicuous wolf king in the team, you can see Ken Bouvier himself - black armor, a face more resolute than frozen soil, and a dark battle axe on his back exuding majesty.
"Sorry, the wilderness doesn't give us time to rest. If you are too tired, give your weapons and food to the people around you."
Ken was powerful and shouted in the wind. No sentry at any post had ever seen him rest.
The Heiras provided many ways to obtain food.
They found fresh feces of giant beasts, edible berries, and streams and creeks that might contain strange fish in the wilderness...
[Discover resources, you can send people to complete the work. ]
Ken gave orders, there are many things to do, and the militia and refugees have things to do.
"The storm is coming, your brothers and sisters need enough supplies to go over that mountain!"
At some point, he grew a thick black beard on his face, his skin color darkened, and his armor had more scratches and mud spots, looking more reliable, and willing to trust at first glance.
[You inspired the team. ]
"If we don't reach Ke'e Village before the freezing rain falls, nearly half of the people present will be trapped on the mountain road forever, become rotten corpses, and turn into undead... Rather than letting the wilderness eat us, it's better to bite its neck tightly!"
[Benefit: Desperate Oppression]
[Effect: Team morale rises, and collection efficiency is increased by 16%. ]
The valley became a natural shelter, and a small amount of snow fell from the gap.
The beastman looked up and saw several flying monsters hovering.
"Still there. They have chased us from Dua to here. When are they going to start?"
The black people looked at Ken, but he just glanced coldly at the sky.
"It's not clear who is behind it. It could be a tribe or a kingdom. Maybe they want to chase us to Santonkaya and then send troops to start a war."
He remembered that Silena looked up frequently before leaving. She guessed it, but did not warn him. [The Revealer] was also observing him.
"It's not my character to sit and wait for death."
Ken turned and looked at the peak at the end of the Flynn Ancient Road: the highest altitude and the most dangerous section of the road on the way back. It is impossible to camp and repair. There are no supplies. All the preparations of the team are to climb over this snowy peak.
"We will kill it there."
"As long as it is close enough to me, I guarantee that thing will never fly again."
Meng said while sitting in the corner.
He ground the iron sheet into a pendant and put it around his neck. As the spear leader, he had once flown to kill a scale viper, so he had the confidence to say such a thing.
Ken did not express his opinion.
Since the monsters are controlled by humans, they will not easily give the opportunity to sneak attack. The difficulty of the problem is to close the distance.
"Don't worry, I have a good idea when we reach the snow peak," the beast tamer twisted half of his scary face, "Just don't miss it when the time comes."
Meng's eyes twitched.
[Temporary Mission: Hunter]
[Progress: 2D]
[The Heiras are gifted. As long as there is a chance, they will show you their skills to satisfy you. ]
Ken's heart moved slightly. He didn't expect that the mission would be triggered.
"To be honest, I am looking forward to it."
This sentence has a double meaning.
The beast tamer only heard the praise and encouragement in it, bowed slightly to the leader, and was still very confident. "I will definitely serve you a good portion of meat. Thick-winged eagle tastes quite good."
A light voice came from near the rock.
"Corpse."
Everyone's eyes gathered in the corner.
Arthur sat next to his package. He rarely spoke on his own initiative along the way, so every word was easy to attract attention.
"The body of a thick-winged eagle. The meat is optional. I want the skeleton."
"What are you going to do with it? Are you going to grind your teeth?"
Boyile hated Arthur's character of not showing his emotions, and he was not stingy with any ridicule, but this time no one agreed.
Everyone wanted to know how capable the blacksmith in the team was.
Arthur really ignored him.
He closed his eyes tiredly and murmured calmly: "Make something... interesting. If you want to know what it is, you have to be careful when handling the body."
Ken smiled and said nothing.
He suddenly realized that Heila was a professional with a wide range of experience and knowledge. He took this opportunity to ask all the things he didn't understand before.
[Quest: Farmer]
[Progress: Sedimentation Stone 0/1 Seed 0/30]
There is also a villager named [Torobi] in Santon who meets the requirements of the quest and can promote the development of the tribe's farming.
"How do I get the sedimentation stone?"
Ken asked a question, but the trainer didn't have time to show off his knowledge, and the fisherman answered it first.
"This material requires a rare stone spirit, which is more troublesome to catch, so it's easier for the giant eagle to handle it."
