"We found him in the snow, his bow and arrows broken, and his horse gnawed down to a single head." Sejuani said.

"Who did it?" Ash clenched her fists, and even the cold of Zhen Bing was no longer enough to suppress her anger.

"Beast devouring doesn't destroy a skeleton like this, only a cannibal ice troll sucks the bone marrow and leaves a whole head. Those bastards wouldn't have been so stupid if they knew what to eat and what to supplement! ”

Sejuani had her men carry the corpses away with cloth and bury them, trolls were murderous creatures in the North, and she feared that Ash would forget them after living in the South for a long time.

"Ice trolls?" Ash's face changed: "Then the forest has fewer prey because of them?" ”

"Absolutely! Where the mongrels went, there was no grass to grow, and even the ground had to be turned out. Hordes of ice trolls are feared even by mammoths, and their stench scares away all nearby beasts. ”

Sejuani was a character who had fought with trolls many times, and she knew more or less about these vile creatures.

In the north, the trolls are the real bandits, who rely on brute force to plunder migrating human tribes, doing things that make no profit. The biggest reason why they can do this is that they have a slightly higher IQ than the beast and a strong physique, which is why Sejuani hates trolls so much - they are more difficult to deal with than the beasts, and they have no value after defeating.

Because they have nothing but foot hair on one leg!

Troll meat is not tasty, no one will wear it with thick leg hair to knit sweaters, and there will be no loot to gain after defeat, so don't think they will wear weapons or armor. Dealing with such a scoundrel-like creature can only lead to a thankless end.

"I wonder if the trolls can communicate and cooperate?" Ash asked, a question that seemed stupid to Sejuani.

"Ash? What do you mean? Do you want to talk to the trolls? As soon as these words came out, Sejuani immediately stared at Ash with a skeptical gaze, feeling unacceptable that she had such an idea.

"No, I'm just asking, after all, the trolls just happened to be around this time and cut off our food source, so it always feels premeditated." Ash explained that if the trolls were as stupid as Sejuani said, it was a bit of a coincidence that they were here near the furnace at this moment.

The trolls had arrived a few days earlier, but now they had spotted their tracks, suggesting that the trolls were deliberately covering up their whereabouts and erasing the footprints they had left behind. And can stupid beasts do this? Among them, I am afraid that there are the participation of the frost guards.

"In my experience, it's impossible. They do have some cleverness, but most of the time they are short-sighted and cunning, and no one wants to cooperate with such fickle creatures, because you have to be on the lookout for their betrayal. ”

Hearing that Sejuani had overturned his idea in an instant, Ash's brow tightened.

Is this really just a coincidence? Trolls just happened to be here to join forces with the tribe for food?

"Don't think about it so much, let me lead someone to slaughter those damn trolls. With those guys here, not only do we not have food, but we don't want to get a good night's sleep. ”

Sejuani came back simply to get someone from Ash and then to get rid of the trolls near the hunting grounds. But Ash couldn't give her a crisp answer.

"Wait, Sejuani, it's still unclear......"

She couldn't tell if there was an element of conspiracy, and while it was unlikely, if the trolls and the Frost Guard did work together, the expedition would likely fall into the enemy's trap.

"No matter what he is clear and unclear, if there is a grudge, he must report it immediately! What's more, this is still your people, do you want to chill the fighters by dragging it down? Sejuani yelled at Ash, she just wanted to be happy at the moment.

"It's not like that, I just want to ......"

Ash was just trying to calm Sejuani when a sudden trumpet suddenly swept through the camp.

"This is the clarion call of war, go and see! There is an enemy attack! Sejuani's face changed when she heard the sound of the horn, and she turned and rushed out of the tent.

Now that something more important had happened, Ash also quickly stood up, grabbed the ice bow and gritted his teeth and followed behind Sejuani.

Ash caught up with Sejuani, and they reached the edge of the round pit, standing high above the hill to get a full view of what was going on down the hill.

Something she didn't expect had happened—the trolls they had just talked about were charging towards the base of the mountain on the snowy field.

The troll warband targeted the Ernook herd at the foot of the mountain, and hordes of trolls rushed into the herd to slaughter while the clan had no time to defend itself. Sharp teeth and claws pierced through Ernuk's thick fur with ease, tearing open veins and spraying hot blood.

Their purpose does not seem to be to prey, but simply to kill. Whenever the trolls bite open the neck of an Ernouk, they will let it bleed to death, and immediately turn to kill the next Ernouk.

In the atmosphere of crisis, the panicked Ernuk scattered and fled, but they could not escape the trolls' grasps. Trolls may be bipedal humanoids, but when they lower their hands to help them run, they burst out at just as terrifying speeds, not to mention their near-infinite stamina. They chased after the fleeing Ernuk from behind, biting open his throat, and the fur chewed blood, letting out a bloody war cry.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Ernooks were murdered, lying silently on the blood-stained red snow and waiting for death. And on their side, more killings are still being made.

Witnessing the killing in progress, Ash couldn't hold his breath anymore.

"Kill me! These brutes must be paid! She roared angrily, and the warriors in the camp suddenly turned over the edge of the pit and rushed down like a tide, shouting that the killing sound shook the sky!

Sejuani took the lead, riding her massive steel mane to the bottom of the hill first, slamming a troll away with a single hammer, and then smashing its tall nose into its head with a second hammer, its whole face sinking.

Watching the human army pour out, the troll warband changed its direction, and they all withdrew at full speed in the direction away from the furnace village. They didn't even think about fighting the humans, and after slaughtering a large number of Ernuk, they fled, ignoring the beef everywhere for fear of slowing down their escape.

The troll warband fled at full speed, leaving the human army in the dust. With the exception of Sejuani, who managed to leave behind the corpses of the few Slayers, most of the trolls managed to make it away.

Seeing this scene, Ash, who had been running desperately to keep up, felt powerless and stopped, and looked at the dusty backs of the trolls and shed tears of anger.
