Chapter 9 Ice Punishment Forest
The morning sun slowly rose, and the sky turned slightly white.
As winter approaches, the cold wind whistles, and on the road in front of the castle's main entrance, Paris is walking in big strides in silver armor and a long sword on his waist. He has a pungent smell of blood on his body, as if he has just experienced a battle.
When he walked to the castle, Paris paused and opened the door.
"Where is Master Enzo?"
As soon as he entered the castle, a male servant stepped forward, and Paris detached the long sword from his waist and handed it over to the other party to wipe it.
"Master Enzo is in the living room and just had breakfast." The servant took the long sword respectfully and replied.
Paris turned around and walked straight towards the living room.
"Is there anything wrong?"
Enzo was a little surprised when he saw Parise. Since handing over the management tasks of Cayon City to the other party, Parise almost never came to the castle during the rest of the time except for reporting every four days. It has only been two days since the last report.
"While patrolling the border of Kaiyuan City this morning, soldiers below found the remaining bandits from the Blood Hand Gang near the Ice Punishment Forest."
Paris bowed slightly, his attitude was very respectful.
"I led a cavalry team to clear the gangsters and wiped out the blood-handed gangsters. When I was about to return to the city, I was suddenly attacked by a [Snow Bear], and many soldiers were killed and injured, but I was unable to kill them!"
"A snow bear appears near the Bingzhu Forest?" Enzo frowned slightly.
The Snow Bear is a rare monster that usually moves in the cold northern region.
According to the records in the books, the snow bear is violent and has great strength. When he is an adult, he can reach more than three meters in length. His whole body is white and his fur is very tough. The swords of ordinary warriors cannot cause damage to it at all. Only knights with fighting spirit can compete with it.
"Yes, an adult snow bear." Parist looked solemn and said, "Although I don't know why this snow bear appeared near the Ice Punishment Forest, it is still within the scope of Kaiyuan City. If it is not handled in time, it may pose a threat to the town."
"So, I hope to go to the Ice Punishment Forest with the True Knights to hunt the Snow Bear!"
"Yes, sending 200 cavalrymen, plus the Tru Knights assist you, should be enough to hunt the Snow Bear." Enzo pondered for a moment, raised his head and said, ": It just so happens that I have never seen the Snow Bear, let's go together."
"This...well, as you wish." Paris hesitated slightly, but still bowed and nodded.
......
Outside Kaiyuan City, on the road to the north.
The cold wind whistled and the fine snow flew like fluff. A team of black-armored cavalry riding tall horses were heading towards the distance.
This team of knights is moving forward with more than 200 people. The leading young knight is well-proportioned, riding a white horse under his crotch, and an exquisite short blade hanging around his waist. He still looks calm in the wind and snow, and his handsome face is indifferent.
Following closely behind are two tall dark horses walking side by side.
The knight on the left was wearing silver-white armor, with a solemn expression, and always paying attention to the movements around him. The knight on the right was burly, with muscles bulging like an explosion, full of wild power, and looked like a human-shaped monster.
This group of cavalry was Enzo and others who went to the Ice Punishment Forest to hunt the Snow Bear.
"Go close to the Ice Punishment Forest immediately, be careful!" Paris, wearing silver and white armor, whispered loudly.
When the cavalry team walked on the avenue, they could already see the ice punishment forest in the distance. The closer they got, they could smell a faint smell of blood. Traces of battle and some bloody broken limbs and broken arms could be found in the wilderness on both sides of the road.
Paris Tratt tightened the reins, leaned against Enzo, and pointed at the passage not far away.
"The stolen bandits from the Blood Hand Gang used to be active near this area."
Following Paris' finger direction, Enzo saw several corpses lying in the wilderness not far away, as if they were eaten by wild beasts not long ago. At this moment, it was beyond recognition and looked terrible.
"Since 7 days ago, the leader of the Blood Hand Gang 'Eble' was killed by the Knight Clarence, the remnants of the Blood Hand Gang have fled everywhere."
"These guys should have come from Lighthouse Town." Paris pointed to the distance.
Enzo nodded slightly. The siege army entered the wilderness 20 days ago. After discovering the Blood Hand Gang's nest, he directly launched a clearance. Under the charge of the iron hoof, the bandit gang, which seemed to be crowded, was vulnerable. After several rounds of attacks, it was broken. Even the originally arrogant bandit leader "Eibo" was killed by the Wildfire Town Knights.
Afterwards, the Blood Hand Gang fell into chaos and fled around under the harvest of the cavalry.
"After all, it's just a group of bandits. How can they resist the trampling of the cavalry's iron hooves?" Enzo sighed a little and sighed, "It seems that the destruction of the Blood Hand Gang is just a matter of time."
"It's true. Winter is coming, and Clarence clears around the wilderness, so the remaining bandits of the Blood Hand Gang can't hold on for long." Paris said.
As the two were talking, they were approaching the Ice Punishment Forest. Paris waved his hand, and the cavalry behind him divided into several teams, each entering the forest from different directions, and began to look for the snow bear based on the surrounding traces.
Enzo and Paris led some cavalry to search the south of the forest.
The climate of the Iceland Land is colder and snows often falls all year round. Plants that can survive in the Iceland Forest have adapted to the cold. Most of the trees here are called "Ice Leaf Cypress". This tree grows slowly, but its branches and leaves are particularly lush.
The cavalry team cleared the branches and leaves on the road while moving forward.
"The Ice Punishment Forest is close to Kaiyuan City. According to the rules of previous years, as long as winter passes, Lord Oquin will lead the army to wander around to drive out possible monsters." Parist kept paying attention to the surrounding dynamics and reminded Enzo, "It has been more than half a year since the last sweep. Apart from the Snow Bear, no one knows whether there are any other monsters here, so please be careful."
Enzo had no choice but to nod.
The team continued to move forward, and not far away, a few white birds rushed towards the sky, making screams.
Suddenly, a roar came from the forest.
"It's here, be careful!!!"
In the forest not far away, the soldiers' screams came, followed by a loud shout and the neighing of war horses.
