274. Lake Beran

Eagle's Beak Rock, located on the edge of the mountains south of Nato City, is named after the shape of the peak that resembles the sharp beak of a harrier eagle.

Lake Beran, also known as the sapphire of Ravenham, was built on the southern shore of Lake Beran.

The city of Ravenham is named after the banks of the river, which is built on the banks of the river because of the abundant rainwater on the northern slopes of the middle of the purple green hills.

The Ravenham River passes through the cities of Purple Green Mountain and Ravenham, and is blocked by two ridges to the south of the Eagle's Beak Rock, which meet in a 'herringbone' shape and encircle Lake Belan.

The two mountain ranges do not completely isolate the Belan Lake from the city of Nato, the Belan Lake is on the high side, there is a gap between the mountains to form a waterfall with a drop of 100 meters, in winter this waterfall condenses into ice, becoming a huge ice curtain, the ice curtain still retains this spectacular scene of rushing down.

It is said that the two mountains north of Ravenham were formed by the arms of a god named Ravenham who died during the War of the Gods and held his head on the top of his head, and the head of this god was cut off and taken away by a hostile god, and his head smashed a huge pit in the earth, forming Lake Beran.

Legend has it that the bottom of Lake Beran still retains the appearance of a human face, but these two mountains are also named 'Left Arm Mountain' and 'Right Arm Mountain', and it is not easy to cross this mountain even in summer.

The nearest road from Nato to Ravenham is the valley road from the mouth of Beran Falls, and if you don't take this road, you can't cross the Arm Mountain, so you have to detour hundreds of kilometers to reach Ravenham.

The falcon team we met halfway through told us that the barbarian brigade of two thousand was wandering at the foot of the Arm Mountain, and after sacking the ten towns on the outskirts of Nato City, the barbarians had some of the barbarians return to the ice tundra with the slaves of the ten towns, and the remaining two thousand barbarian brigades were ready to cross Nato City and march further south to Ravenham.

There are probably no more than ten barbarian brigades that enter the northern province every year, and these barbarians are scattered in the vast northern territory and have extremely powerful destructive power, and under normal circumstances, such a large barbarian army is usually followed by the constructed knights of the North Wind Legion, and the two sides start a protracted war of attrition until this group of barbarians leaves the northern border.

According to the captain of the falcon squad, when this large barbarian army began to enter the territory of Nato City, the number of barbarian warriors once exceeded three thousand, and the combat power of such a barbarian team was equivalent to the six fully equipped knights of the North Wind Legion.

Although these barbarians are not enough to capture Nato City, they loot outside Nato City, and without the Constructed Knights of the North Wind Legion to intervene, relying on the Knights of the Guard Battalion in Nato City alone has no effect, and the knights in those Knights of the Guard Battalion may not even have the courage to fight to the death with the barbarians.

We chased the forty or so barbarians all the way to the southern mountains of Nato City, and I guess these barbarian warriors wanted to join up with the barbarian army in order to completely get rid of our falcon pursuit, but their luck was really not good, and they made a big circle in the southern mountains, but they could not find the large army of barbarians.

The captain of the falcon team told me that this was the most courageous group of barbarian warriors they had ever seen, and that more than forty barbarians were chased by a falcon team of less than twenty people and fled in all directions, and no one would necessarily believe it.

They learned that we were the falcons of the city of El and that there were four magicians in our team, so they said to us: I have long heard that the falcons of the city of El are good at hunting barbarians with magic traps, and it is said that this hunting method was conceived by a great magic apprentice in the city of El City, and the falcons in the city of El have some secret channels to buy cheap magic scrolls, are these true?

In El City, it has long been no secret that the Falcon Squad uses 'magic traps' to hunt barbarian warriors, just in the past two years, many Falcon Squads have been designing unique magic traps, so the traps arranged by this Falcon Squad are also varied, but no matter how these magic traps change, in the end they are inseparable from the ice magic scroll.

I simply drew a few of the most common magical traps on the snow: there was the Frost Scroll to create a fog of ice, the Frost Nova to freeze the Barbarian warriors in place and then use the spears to surround them, and the Frost Nova to build traps in advance, filled with barbed spears, which were covered in snow in the winter to lure the Barbarians to the pit area, where it would be difficult for the Barbarians to pull out intact as long as one foot fell into them.

Both falcon squads had their own gains, and then we went in two completely different directions in a tacit understanding.

Noah couldn't understand why they were both Imperial people with the same purpose, hunting barbarians in the North, and they had to be so careful to guard each other.

Sitting on a sleigh pulled by barbarian slaves, I explained to Noah: "These falcon squads in the northern province were originally composed of strong people hidden in the markets in various cities, most of these strong men retired from the army, adventure groups, mercenary groups, etc., and every winter they would spontaneously organize falcon squads to fight against the barbarians who came to the ice and snow tundra. ”

"But in recent years, there will be some demon hunter organizations, adventure groups, slave catchers, etc., who will also take the opportunity to seek benefits in the northern province, and they usually disguise themselves as long falcon squads, and many demon hunter organizations are not only targeting barbarian warriors, but sometimes hunting other falcon squads and taking the spoils of those falcon squads. ”

"What is even more shameful is that some slave hunters, when they hunt barbarians, they will also accept the northern people captured by the barbarians and sell them as slaves to other regions. ”

"So unless it's a falcon team that knows each other very well, if they meet in the wild, they will basically guard against each other, and some falcon teams will even see it from a distance, so they will choose to avoid it, so as to avoid contact between the two sides and ensure the safety of their team. ”

Noah suddenly realized when he heard my explanation, but he didn't expect that there were so many shady things hidden in the Falcon Squad.

Deborah had been watching the barbarians from the air, so the forty or so barbarians tried to shake us off several times, but without success.

In the process of pursuit, the barbarians can only catch what prey they see along the way, and everyone will share it, but there are not many prey in the mountains and forests, more than forty barbarians can eat a big boar at a meal, and they never carry dry food with them, so they are basically running away from hunger for days, and their physical strength has been slowly depleted.

In contrast, the logistics of our team are very sufficient, we will eat regularly every day, rest on time, anyway, there is Deborah, and we are not worried that these barbarians will be able to escape, on the contrary, in the process of pursuing this barbarian team, we also eliminated two barbarian squads composed of several people by the way.

In fact, this group of barbarian warriors is also gambling, they want to join up with the barbarian brigade before their physical strength is exhausted.

However, this squad of forty or so barbarian warriors was eventually blocked by us in a col with a cliff on one side and a steep slope on the other, and their tall bodies were not suitable for digging into the dense pine forest, and the branches of the pine trees, although they could not hurt them, hindered their progress.

By the time we had trapped them in the col, the barbarian warriors were too hungry to walk.

These barbarian warriors gathered back to back, in anticipation of a sudden attack on them, and seeing that they didn't strike back against us in the first place, I was sure that these barbarian warriors were going to die in this col.

I slowly gathered up a wall of ice, and at the exit of the col placed a large array of ice walls, and then motioned for Ying Li to take out our secret weapon.

Ying Li, Helena and Becky each have magic fanny packs tied around their waists, and the magic fanny packs on their bodies are the best magic fanny packs that can be bought in the Imperial Capital Magic Store, which can hold a lot of things, and this time Ying Li dragged out of the magic fanny pack was a bunch of bed crossbow pieces.

Ten orc warriors assembled the bed crossbow very quickly in front of the ice wall array, and by looking at their skillful movements, they knew that they had received special training.

If it weren't for the barbarian warriors in the col, I wouldn't have taken out such stupid guys as bed crossbows, even though bed crossbows have a strong lethality against barbarian warriors, but as long as the barbarian warriors retreat beyond the range of the bed crossbow, these bed crossbows are helpless against the barbarian warriors.

"What else will these ten constructed warriors do, how can they give people different surprises every time?" Noah said with envy as he looked at the ten orc warriors in front of him.

I shrugged my shoulders and pointed at Kahlan to Noah, "You can ask her about this." ”

Noah immediately shook his head, waved his hand at me, and said, "Forget it!"

Two bed crossbows were assembled between the two ice walls, followed by a merciless shooting at the barbarian warriors, three meters of crossbow arrows flew out from the bed crossbows, with a faint magical glimmer on the tips of these bed crossbow arrows, the tips of these bed crossbow arrows were attached to the two magical attributes of 'sharpness' and 'penetration', and the barbarian's strong body had no resistance to this giant crossbow arrow.

Every time a crossbow bolt flies into the barbarian warrior horde, there will be some casualties.

The orc warriors only had time to shoot five rounds, and the barbarian warriors realized that they could only wait to die while standing still, and they were all dead, and they didn't rush together for a hearty battle.

It's just that the barbarians reacted at this time, and it was a little late to rush over, because my ice wall array had already been erected, and when they rushed into the ice wall array, ten orc warriors quickly withdrew from the ice wall array, and after one entry and one exit, I looked for an opportunity to detonate the ice wall with the 'ice blast technique', and more than thirty barbarians were buried under the ice and snow.

Immediately after that, I began to try to subdue these barbarian warriors, who had been exhausted by my torture in the last few days, so just by asking a few barbarian warriors, some of them chose to sign a slave contract.

Noah has been getting more and more curious about my Ice Wall Array and Ice Blasting Technique lately, and he can't understand why my ice magic is so powerful.

This kind of large-scale group magic requires at least two high-level magicians to cast, and I'm only a beginner magician, and I haven't even reached the first turn, so there's no reason why I can use the Ice Explosion Technique to detonate so many ice walls and cast such powerful ice magic.

If every ice mage could do this, then Sloit would only need a team of ice mages to wipe out the barbarians of the ice tundra.

In fact, there are two main secrets to the fact that I can wield such a powerful ice wall array:

A secret is in plain sight, but few people have noticed that it is the 'Frost Scrolls' that can reduce the temperature of the surrounding environment after detonation, and every time I cast the Ice Wall Array, I have to consume at least two 'Frost Scrolls' of magic chests to compensate for my lack of mana with a large number of magic scrolls.

Another aspect is my magical talent, which allows me to manipulate ten walls of ice at the same time in such a nuanced manner.

An ice mage of my level can't control an ice wall while still being distracted by casting an ice blast.

Twenty more captive barbarian warriors from this hunt signed a slave contract with me and became barbarian slaves.

Standing in the col, you can see the eagle's beak rock in the distance, but this group of barbarians did not have a map of the mountains south of Nato City, and we blocked them in the col, causing them to have no way out, and I sealed the exit with an ice wall array.

Our team walked out of the col and circled from the edge of the dense pine forest to the ridge ahead, and found that some barbarian squads could always be seen in the nearby hills, and Deborah flew over the eagle's beak rock and circled non-stop.

When we crossed a mountain range in front of us and looked through the dense pine forest to the eagle's beak rock, we found that a large group of barbarians was slowly moving from west to east along the arm mountain, and the long winding line could not be seen at all, and these barbarian teams numbered at least two thousand or more, and they also carried some imperial slaves, cattle, sheep, livestock, and so on.

A large number of barbarians rushed from the foot of the Arm Mountain bypassing the Eagle's Beak Rock directly to the icefall where the left and right Arm Mountains meet, where there was a pass in the canyon that led directly to the northern slope of the Lake Beran, and as soon as these barbarians entered the northern slope of the Lake Beran, the land of Ravenham City was completely exposed to these barbarians, and there was no natural barrier except the city walls.

It seems that this group of barbarians wants to break through the pass defense line directly and enter the territory of Ravenham City from here.

I stood on the top of the hill and took a cool breath, but it was good that the forty or so barbarians had entered a dead end on the last part of the road, otherwise they would have crossed the mountain at their feet to join the barbarian brigade, and in that case the barbarians would have escaped from under our hands.

I also found several falcon squads hiding in the mountains, all of them keeping a close eye on the movements of this barbarian team, presumably trying to sneak down some of the stragglers......
