Chapter 670 Wolf Cavalry
The Holy Mountain towers into the clouds and consists of three peaks. Its highest peak is even more majestic than the former main peak of the Longji Mountains. Due to its extremely high terrain, this mountain is covered with ice and snow all year round from the halfway up. The steep roads in the mountain can make any ordinary human being daunted, and the brave werewolves also use this mountain as a place of trial for the young people of the clan. ——Whenever young werewolves reach adulthood, they will set off alone, carrying only three days of rations to climb the mountain. Only those werewolves who successfully cross the mountain and bring back a specific prey from the east side of the sacred mountain will be recognized as capable of being alone. . The highest peak of the Holy Mountain, "Sunburn Peak", is the target that the best young werewolves compete for: the bravest (and sometimes the stupidest and boldest) young werewolves will climb the peak with bare hands and climb from the top of the mountain. He took a piece of rock as a symbol of his bravery. This rock will be inlaid on the tribe's totem by the elders of the tribe, becoming a werewolf's lifelong glory. It is said that hundreds of the best werewolves challenge the peak every year, and less than 30% succeed. Thanks to the unremitting efforts of these heroic werewolves for thousands of years, the altitude of the holy mountain is now higher than when the werewolves first migrated here. It's almost two meters down...
Anyway, it is said that the leaders of the werewolf tribe are discussing whether to control the enthusiasm of the young people in the tribe-the stupid little wolf cubs who have no energy to dig stones from the top of the sacred mountain all day long are almost wearing out the top of the mountain. The corners are rounded.
Eighty percent of the werewolves on the planet Horleta live in the Sacred Mountain area. This majestic mountain and the surrounding vast land are enough to accommodate so many werewolves to thrive. The werewolves here form a society in the form of tribes. Each tribe has its own leader, and all the leaders form a tribal council to become the ruling class of the werewolf tribe country. It is said that this social form has been passed down since the ancient Magic Kingdom. It perfectly fits the werewolf tradition: it not only values blood but also unites the clan. Therefore, the tribal state system has brought stability to werewolf society for thousands of years, allowing They became an ancient kingdom comparable to the Kingdom of Horleta.
Uruk, who was sent by the werewolf tribe to contact Horleta this time, is one of such tribal leaders. His tribe lives on the side peaks of the Holy Mountain and has established a large-scale settlement there. In the city-state, his wolf cavalry team is not the most elite in the werewolf kingdom, but it is the largest in number - so Uruk can become the representative of the holy mountain rangers and assume the responsibility of commander of this joint operation.
The well-equipped elite knights and magic soldiers set out from Hodecius, divided into three teams and entered the Holy Mountain, and met the werewolf soldiers waiting here at the entrance of the mountain pass. Next, they will enter the Holy Mountain under the leadership of the werewolf, and the troops will be divided into three groups and enter the depths of the mountain. Hao Ren, Ofra and others walked with the largest main force. The other two groups were led by werewolf general Elson and Archbishop Auburn respectively. Since Big Beard was an ascetic, he also went with the third group. Together.
The knights soon arrived at the meeting place agreed with the werewolves. Lily stood on a boulder and took a deep breath: "Hiss-the air of my hometown..."
While looking at Lily's appearance, Nangong Sanba whispered to Hao Ren: "Does she really dare to confirm that Horleta is her hometown?"
"No way, we can't find any sources of werewolves on earth other than the dream plane. I haven't found the second case of huskies becoming sperms yet," Hao Ren twitched the corner of his mouth, "I can only assume that her hometown is Horleta."
Nangong Wuyue transformed into a snake, raising her upper body to nearly three meters high. She wandered and looked at the mountain road in the distance: "Uruk said he would wait for us here in advance, why hasn't he shown up yet?"
A werewolf lieutenant beside Ofra took the initiative and said: "The leader of Uruk is coming with his wolf warriors. He is probably arriving soon."
As soon as the werewolf adjutant finished speaking, Nangong Wuyue shouted from mid-air: "Oh oh oh, I saw it! It's really a wolf cavalry!"
I saw a cloud of dust suddenly rising on the mountain road in the distance, and then dense and heavy running sounds came from the dust. Dozens of black figures galloped from the distance. Uruk led a group of fully armed werewolf warriors. Come to everyone's eyes. These warriors all wore rugged black leather armor, carrying huge decapitated swords on their backs, and animal tooth necklaces hung around their necks as decorations and kill records. Other than that, they did not have any heavy armor. And the mounts under them are huge black wolves - terrifying beasts that are several times larger than the earth's wild wolves and have bone plates on their waists. Due to their special body structure, these wolves can fight here. As a mount.
Dozens of wolf knights rushed from a distance and stopped at the same time less than ten meters in front of the knights' soldiers. Each wolf made no unnecessary movements and even stopped in a straight line. Their uniform movements make it difficult to imagine that they are a group of unruly and sharp-toothed beasts. Wolf cavalry and their wolf warriors live together all year round, and the werewolf's innate abilities allow them to communicate with these beasts without any barriers. So when the two work together, they have become the most combat-effective ground force in the world. We met for the first time today, and sure enough... well, it's quite neat.
Anyway, Hao Ren is a layman, so he can recognize the words "quite neat".
The attire of the Wolf Cavalry is all black, which seems to be for the convenience of night combat, but in fact their black armor and black wolves have nothing to do with "camouflage". This is just their traditional combat attire, even if they are active on the snowy mountains. At that time, they still wore this eye-catching outfit. This involves some customs and habits of the werewolf tribe, and it is very time-consuming to explain clearly to outsiders.
Uruk rode a wolf and came to Ofra: "You can't control the wolf. You can only move forward on foot in the mountains. To be honest, I don't think this is a good idea - the knights are very powerful. They turned into an infantry regiment." Not necessarily.”
Ofra smiled calmly: "Do you think the knights I personally brought out can only fight on horseback? We still cut down 200,000 barbarians in the south in the swamp. Let's go, I hope your wolf cavalry's nose is as good as According to legend, there is a spirit that can dig those pagans out of the cracks in the rocks."
Uruk smiled. It seemed that Ofra's hard-nosed answer was offended by his temper. However, before he ordered to set off, Hao Ren still asked quickly: "Check your protective crystals first. Are they all wearing them?"
Ofra turned around and waved to the knights: "Commanders of each team checked, all soldiers raised the protective crystals, and reported any missing crystals immediately."
Uruk also turned around and said hello: "Check your crystals! They are life-saving things!"
The soldiers all held up the protective crystals that were given to them before setting off. Those crystals were brought by Hao Ren from the Crystal Core Research Station. These things were piled up in mountains at the Crystal Core Research Station. Thousands of these fragments could be knocked off any large spare parts, so Hao Ren simply issued one to each soldier. Ofra also took out her own crystal and looked at it: "I can't believe... that monster's spiritual power can be suppressed by such a small stone. Previously, the most determined archbishop we sent could not reach the main peak. under."
The war wolf under Uruk had been looking at Hao Ren curiously since just now. At this time, he finally couldn't help snorting and said in a low voice: "Wait a minute, are you a tough person?"
Hao Ren was stunned by this title for a moment. Then when he saw War Wolf mouthing human words, he suddenly remembered whose special title it was. He was stunned: "...Wolf King?! The one on the grassland?"
The black wolf looked back and forth at Hao Ren and Lily and others next to him, and seemed quite surprised: "Hey, it's really you. I didn't dare to recognize it at first - you humans are too difficult to tell apart. I can't even tell the difference between the two. Damn, luckily your smell hasn't changed much. How did you get here?"
Hao Ren and several of his friends (the ones who had met the Wolf King before) were shocked. They never expected to meet the talking Wolf King under such circumstances. Lily sucked hard. Sniffing: "Oh, it's really you - I still want to ask you, how did you get here? Aren't you a steppe wolf?"
"Oh, this is a long story... There is a gust of wind on the grassland, the season has changed, many animals are migrating, and the wolves are also looking for a new place to live. Fortunately, I have great wisdom and brought my brothers here. Found a new home…”
Everyone around, from generals to soldiers, was stunned. Uruk stared and didn't know what to say. He faced the strangest situation in his life:
He, the commander, was ignored by everyone, while his mount was chatting with others...
