Lord of the North

"Suddenly?"

Beowulf frowned, he didn't think these soldiers would deceive him in such a matter, because these guards were all the elites he had carefully selected in the army, and they were part of the first soldiers to follow Jason.

Loyalty and responsibility are trustworthy.

"Yes, my lord, it seems that it suddenly appeared in front of us in the blink of an eye." The little commander quickly nodded and answered.

It's a bit weird, Beowulf looked intently at the ruins in the distance, especially the land next to it, but everything was normal, and there was no clue at all.

Is it illusion?

"My lord, it's a bit weird here, why don't we leave first?" At this moment, a commander came to his side and said solemnly.

Facing the unknown, it was better to retreat first, find out its details before returning, and he really felt a little hairy in his heart.

Anyone who encounters such a weird and frightening thing will feel flustered, not to mention that there are rumors that there is a group of unknown creatures with strong fighting power living in this ruins.

"Soulu, tell the soldiers to retreat immediately. You lead them back for a mile first. I will continue to observe here and then arrive."

Beowulf also agreed with his point of view, not because he was afraid, but because he was worried about what might happen to the soldiers under his command, and there were indeed some evil ways here, which made him a little confused.

"Yes, my lord."

Commander Thoru immediately agreed, then turned around and assembled the soldiers to clean up the camp, and retreated slowly to the rear.

After a while, the clueless Beowulf also followed, but his expression was a little ugly, and there was some light red blood on his saber.

He just broke in once, but to no avail, and he found that the more he walked in, the stronger the half-human, half-beast monsters became.

It seems to be divided into classes, and the weak and weak are only worthy of living in the outermost periphery.

"grown ups."

As soon as the leaders saw him coming back, they immediately stood up and saluted respectfully, and then hesitated to speak, but Beowulf raised his hand to stop him.

He sat down in front of the bonfire, his face was ugly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The people around looked at each other, not knowing what happened to him.

"Who! Come out!"

Suddenly, after a while, Beowulf grabbed a stick and hurled it toward a snowdrift in the distance.

The firewood shot into the distance with faint sparks, and when it was about to touch the snowdrift, a shield suddenly broke through the snow, and the sparks exploded immediately, but the shield also blocked his sudden attack.

"Young humans, we have no malicious intentions, it's just that you violated the ancient covenant and set foot on this cursed forbidden land without authorization."

A rough voice reached his ears, and a strong figure about 1.5 meters tall emerged from the flying snowflakes.

The thick beard, the heavy hammer, and the rough and heavy equipment made Beowulf and his guards feel a little familiar.

It seems that Rodney's forging style is similar to theirs, but a little more refined.

"dwarf?"

Beowulf was baffled. This race also existed in the myths and legends of his previous life, and compared to Rodney, this race was more like a dwarf.

That guy Rodney was taller than himself, it was hard to believe that guy could be a real dwarf.

"That's right, we are the dwarves, the Bronzebeard tribe that has lived in the northern ice sheet for hundreds of years. Standing in front of you is the most talented warrior of the Bronzebeard tribe, Cyre Bronzebeard!"

The dwarf nodded, shook the sledgehammer in his hand, and answered proudly.

Beowulf ignored his previous introduction, but was shocked in his heart. It turned out that the legend was true, and there really were dwarves on this ice field!

But don't dwarves all live in places with earth fire? How could it appear on this barren and cold ice field.

"You? Are there any other members of your tribe here?"

besides,

Beowulf asked with some doubts. After all, he only felt the breath of this one dwarf just now. Are there other dwarves nearby?

Thinking of this, he scanned the surroundings vigilantly, but found nothing.

"That's right, us!"

The dwarf Saier replied with some embarrassment. He was wearing the armor of forbidden magic, and he was discovered, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

As his words fell, dozens of short but extremely strong dwarf warriors quietly appeared in the surrounding snow and behind the distant rocks.

They were not careless like Sayre, but looked at Beowulf and the others with vigilant eyes. The weapons in their hands were also various, but the mainstream ones were still warhammers and battleaxes.

"Put your weapons away."

With a sudden change of mind, Beowulf immediately made a decision on this. He ordered to the soldiers behind him that just one Rodney raised the iron-fang collar's forging technology by more than one level, which shows how powerful these dwarves are. big impact.

What's more, he still doesn't know how many dwarf warriors exist on this ice field. If there is a conflict, it will be a blow to the outpost fortress.

The guards looked at each other in blank dismay, but still obeyed his order and put away their weapons, but the hands that did not leave the hilt still showed that they did not let go of their vigilance.

"Humans, why are you approaching this forbidden land?"

Seeing them like this, the dwarves also relaxed a lot, at least they didn't continue to maintain a tense momentum. At this moment, a dwarf with a gray beard came out. His armor and hammer were all black.

And his status doesn't seem to be low. As soon as he stood up, that Saier stepped aside just now with an extremely respectful expression.

"I am a legion commander under His Royal Highness Jason of the Kingdom of Lopez. I came here this time because several of my soldiers died here unintentionally, so I brought the soldiers here to check. We have no malicious intentions. .”

Beowulf was neither humble nor overbearing, first saluted the dwarf, and then explained softly.

"My name is Yatlin Bronzebeard, the elder of the Bronzebeard tribe, responsible for guarding the forbidden area. Some time ago, those humans came to the forbidden area before we had time to stop them, they had already entered. This is our negligence. "

After hearing this, Yatlin understood the cause and effect. They had known about the arrival of these humans long ago, and they also knew that they had expelled the group of evil barbarians, so he said apologetically.

"Humans, you haven't set foot on the ice sheet for a long time, can you tell me why you came here?" Then he asked a little nervously.

The dwarves are no longer the huge race they were thousands of years ago, otherwise they would not have avoided humans during the great search decades ago.

This is all because they are afraid of bringing disaster to their own race. The dwarves who have been allies with humans know too well the greed of humans.

If it wasn't for the forbidden area this time, they wouldn't show up rashly.
