Volume 4 The First Kuroshio War Chapter 120 Frost Mist Forest

The logistics were well supplied, with enough supplies stored in St. Akromy's warehouse to make three or four trips from Lakesprings to Rift Fortress. The pursuit of the orcs caused almost no casualties, only a few militiamen broke their feet and broke their heads in a panic, so the spirit of the troops was quite good, after all, it was a victory.

Fang Qiuling had a map in his hand, and it was quite a detailed map. Elune, the elf, can't directly intervene in the world, but it's perfectly fine to draw an accurate map. The mountains and forests are densely wooded and have no obvious references, so it is easiest to get lost. It's often a hard day of trekking, and when you look up, you can see last night's campfire right in front of you. With an accurate and detailed map in hand, and a few magic props that can confirm the direction, if he can still get lost in the mountains and forests, then Fang Qiuling can return to the world as soon as possible. The promising job of the Adventist was not for him.

The rugged mountain roads are almost entirely covered with weeds. Even mountain dwellers who live in the mountains and forests all year round underestimate the situation in the frost and mist forests. Compared to the Misty Lake region where they lived, the trees in the Frostmist Forest were more lush and primitive. Originally, it was just a path that hunters had stepped on for many years, or it could have been a walkway for wild beasts to pass through, and it was almost impossible for a large army of more than 500 people to pass through, even without heavy weapons to carry logistical supplies.

So now there is very little time in the day to travel, and most of it is spent on opening up roads. Fang Qiuling, who took the lead every day, began to laugh at himself as the king of mowing grass - not the kind of grass mowing in the Wushuang game, but really having to take a sword and cut all the way through the mountains and forests. Of course, there are also some who are completely unaffected by mountain paths. For example, elves......

When he first entered the mountain forest, due to the close pursuit of the orcs and the imminence of the undead, both soldiers and officers held their breath and walked as much as possible every day. Every time you walk a little more, you can be a little farther away from the group of "beasts" and "bone frames" behind, and your own life will be a little more peaceful.

Every other day, the Griffin Knight delivers the latest information. At present, it can be confirmed that the undead have completely occupied Huquan Town, and Dongqiu has once again been occupied by beasts. And this time, not only the banner of the Fireblade Clan, but also the banner of the Brown Wolf Clan, was erected on the orc camp in Dongqiu.

The Brown Wolf Clan specializes in raising large brown war wolves and is known for their fierce and warlike Brown Wolf Cavalry. If it were another day later, the wolf cavalry of the Brown Wolf Clan would appear, and whether it was to storm through the Dongqiu camp or retreat into the Frost Mist Forest, Norn Wei would pay a lot of money!

- The Acting Lord's decision is very correct!

It can be regarded as a survivor of the disaster, and Nornwei is extremely lucky. As for the diehards who are reluctant to leave the town, and the adventurers who choose to stay in the town because they think they can make a windfall, they can only pray that they will be blessed......

Stepping into the Frost and Mist Forest meant that the road ahead was only a forest path, and it was a rugged mountain road full of thorns and weeds. The first to complain and complain was the Wuxi cavalry. The dense forests make it impossible to ride horses, but require riders to clear the way for them. The cavalry's "transfer" to the infantry was very unhappy for the Wuxi cavalry, and the identity of the cavalry was one level higher than that of the infantry, which was a very common perception. At this moment, not only are the cavalry and infantry treated equally, but there is more mess waiting for the cavalry, and the cavalry will of course express their dissatisfaction.

It was a very painful thing for cavalry to march through the mountains and forests. Not to mention galloping on horseback, it's good to be able to sit firmly on horseback. The ubiquitous branches and branches of trees can easily sweep a horse rider straight down. So most of the time, I can only lead the horses hard. And leading a horse in the mountains and forests is not an easy task. Even if the horses themselves are quite cooperative, the tonnage is directly there, and leading the horses on the mountain road is a standard physical work! At the end of the day, my back hurts and my legs cramp, and I am several times more tired than my usual training. Even, even a few cavalry captains with the strength of the Black Iron Rank found that it was less effort to walk directly with their mounts......

Regarding the complaints of the Foggy Knights, Fang Qiuling expressed his understanding and took measures as soon as possible. He began to make cameo appearances as political commissars and did ideological work for many knights. Every night after camping, he would bring a group of knights over to chat, let them tell their stories, and soothe the anguish in their hearts. Before the end of each party, Fang Qiuling will also play the piano and sing a song, so that everyone can appreciate the charm of music and relax.

This move, which was not new, but had a good effect, quickly attracted the attention of Gallas's butler. After observing a night bonfire, the old butler decisively asked his little master, Ronald Otis von Diharus, to participate.

The old butler didn't understand what a political commissar was, and he didn't know what the point of doing it was. However, he saw that after several night bonfires, the state of the Misty Cavalry had obviously improved, and by the way, he had become more respectful to the Acting Lord. Such a move obviously helps to win people's hearts, and their little masters must follow suit!

Ronald showed up at the bonfire, and his sister Alina was not left behind. Later, the kitten charms also discovered the night's bonfire show and quietly appeared on the periphery of the bonfire. The kittens love the stories told by the knights, and several of them win their unanimous admiration.

The arrival of the kitten charms means that basically the entire team knows that every day the Descendant Lord will invite some people to a bonfire. The elves, who are accustomed to resting in the trees rather than in the camp, also know. The elves were not interested at all in the first half of the bonfire, what was the wonderful story of the knights, and the elves, who were only adults in their hundreds, were not interested. What really attracts the elves is the music and music performed by the Acting Lord himself in the second half of the bonfire.

Whether it is the harp version of "Canon" or the violin version of "Liang Zhu", the elves who have listened to it have issued heartfelt praises. And Fang Qiuling can be male or female, and her voice with full coverage of treble, midrange, and bass also opened the elves' eyes.

- Mr. Norn, you are worthy of the music, a true bard!

The elves who had never experienced the music of the present world were convinced, and Fang Qiuling had a small group of elf fans in Elune, and they directly put the title of music master on Fang Qiuling's head.

The elves hadn't been to the present world, and they didn't know about the thriving musical arts of the present world, but Lily did. Her attainments in music are only higher than Fang Qiuling, but because she stayed in the present world for a relatively short time, and put the main time on chasing dramas and movies, she gave Fang Qiuling the opportunity to shine. And in the face of Lili, a person who knows more or less the details, Fang Qiuling, the "porter", blushed a little.

However, as Steward Garras knew, Fang Qiuling did have the intention of buying people's hearts. It's been more than two weeks since you entered the Frost Mist Forest. In the past two weeks, Fang Qiuling has not been idle at all, but has been busy around the entire team, busy buying people's hearts.

Whether it's a squad of a handful of adventurers or a legion of hundreds of people, a team can only have one voice and only one commander. The orders are uneven, each has its own worries, this is a taboo for soldiers!

Taking advantage of the fact that he had just entered the Frost Mist Forest, the people's hearts were still fluctuating, and Fang Qiuling needed to establish enough prestige in the team as soon as possible to completely incorporate the command in his hands - not to lead the entire team as a acting lord authorized by Count DeHarus, but to dominate the entire team as Viscount Norn. This is not because he is greedy for power, but because of the safety of the whole team.

At this moment, the Frost Mist Forest looks no different from an ordinary forest, except that the trees are a little more lush and the road is a little rougher. But as you go deeper and deeper, the Frostmist Forest will gradually reveal its terrifying side. Nornway has to face not only the threat of fish-people and trolls, but also the threat of frost mist, the origin of the name of the Frostmist Forest.

Frost - white ice crystals formed by the air close to the ground that is cooled to zero degrees by radiative cooling of the ground and condenses on the ground or objects.

Fog – When the relative humidity reaches 100% with sufficient water vapour, light breeze and a stable atmosphere, the water vapour in the air will condense into fine water droplets suspended in the air.

The two are combined, suspended and the tiny droplets in the air condense into white ice crystals, like snowflakes that float in the air forever. The entire forest will be covered in an endless white frost mist, which can only be dispelled briefly by the summer midday sun.

Within the range of frost and fog, visibility around will be extremely reduced. Even if you hold a torch, you can only illuminate a range of less than 10 meters in front of you. With such a field of vision, even if you have a map and an experienced guide, you can get lost!

There are many reasons for the formation of natural frost fog, the most important of which is the combination of temperature and humidity. For example, deciduous forests can also experience frost fog in winter, but the frost fog only lasts for a short time until the sun rises. When the sun rises completely, the frost and fog will naturally dissipate.

The Frostmist Forest is located in the south-central part of the continent of Araka, and from the perspective of modern meteorology, this position has entered the southern temperate zone. The humidity in the southern temperate zone may be good enough to form fog, but the temperature certainly cannot. Not to mention that it is freezing at zero degrees all year round, it is difficult to drop to freezing even in winter. It is normal for frost and fog to appear occasionally, but it is a problem to be shrouded all year round!

Fang Qiuling knew the reason why the depths of the Frost Mist Forest were shrouded in frost mist all year round. The reason is actually very simple, it is because the Frost Mist Forest is adjacent to the Black Forest and is affected by the distorted laws of the Chaos Realm.

The world of the "spirit" is always so unreasonable. There will always be all kinds of phenomena that do not conform to the laws of nature, and there is often only one conclusion in the end of research - it is caused by magic. The same goes for the Frostmist Forest.

What is more important to note is that the distorted laws of the Chaos Realm can also affect personal perception, making people unconsciously have a vague sense of direction.

- You think you're going straight ahead, but you're actually going in circles!

This is the truest portrayal of the Frost Mist Forest!

Therefore, at this moment, it is necessary to collect the command of the entire team. If you wait for the frost and fog to fall and then start to gather power, then it will be too late!
