Chapter 437 The Sheep Family
The strong wind in the north roared past with blizzards, but stopped in front of a rolling glacier and weakened.
The glacier is shaped like a giant creeping wolf, the sharp ice edges are the bristles, and the blue ice crevices are the slightly closed eye slits.
In the natural canyon at the foot of the glacier, tents made of animal bones and skins are scattered in an orderly manner.
Outside each tent, there are one or several snow wolves that are as big as war horses.
As one of the representative ferocious creatures in the north, the snow wolf has caused fear or headaches to countless Iceborn tribes. However, here it changes its ferocious appearance and rubs the palm of its owner's hand affectionately with the tip of its nose.
This is the residence of the Frostwolf Clan, one of the three major Iceborn tribes in the North.
After waiting for a week, Helica finally got the person she expected as the contemporary war mother of the Frostwolf clan.
The curtain of the tent was opened, and the biting wind and snow rolled a few snowflakes into the tent.
The chief elder of the tribe lifted the door curtain with one hand, and the wolf tooth necklace hanging on his chest jingled. Half a step behind him, there was a woman wearing a white animal skin cloak.
Her face was sharp and angular, and there was a ferocious burn mark on the corner of her left eye. She had a huge war hammer slung around her waist.
It is Winter's Hammer's contemporary war mother, Yarna.
She strode into the tent, glanced at the horseradish water being boiled on the stove, and the young wolf who was held in Helica's arms and could not fully open her eyes, and snorted.
"Helica, you should be calm. It's already this time, and you can still take care of your wolf cub."
"What time is it now?" Herika's expression remained unchanged, she took off the pottery pot from the stove, poured it into a cup, and handed it to Yarna, who was sitting cross-legged.
Yarna was not polite either. She took the cup of horseradish water, then picked up the wolf milk on the side and poured it into it.
Shake the cup slightly to mix the two, then drink it in one gulp.
"It's impossible that you haven't received the news from Phoenix, right?"
"Are you referring to the new king of the Zhenbing tribe awakening the Zhenbing bloodline?" Helica remained calm and calm, without adding wolf milk, and took a sip of the spicy horseradish water.
"Between you and me, there is no need to put on airs, right? We all experienced the vision seven days ago, and the tribesmen already had different thoughts about it. Once the Zhenbing tribe released this news, the situation became even worse."
"Yes, how could it not have any impact, but what can I do? Since it is impossible to surrender to the Zhenbing tribe for this reason, and I cannot defeat them, can I just pretend that nothing happened?" Helica spread her hands.
Her words made Yarna speechless.
The tent fell into silence for a moment.
Yarna glanced at Helica, and then at the elder of the Frostwolf clan who was also sitting cross-legged. After thinking about it, she spoke again: "The problem is, we can pretend that nothing happened, but what about the Zhenbing tribe? Will they do nothing?"
"Zhen Bing's intention to release the news that the new king has awakened Zhen Bing's bloodline is a precursor to action, and there will definitely be other actions in the future."
"In the past six months, the Zhen Bing tribe has been absorbing and annexing smaller tribes, and even specially sent people to come to the door. Bring the small tribes that are far away from Phoenix. "
"Sunaifa's intention to unify the northern territory is very obvious."
"As the two major tribes with the same name as Zhen Bing, we are bound to be regarded by Sunaifa as a thorn in the side of the unification process, and we are eyeing us."
“Zhen Bing has both thoughtfulness and strength. Are you really going to do nothing? Are you here waiting to be annexed?” Yarna stared at Helica.
"Then what do you think I should do? What can I do?" Helica asked, while picking up the wolf milk, pouring it into the bowl, and passing it to the mouth of the wolf cub in her arms.
The little wolf cub didn't even open his eyes. His nose first smelled the scent of milk, and he instinctively stuck out his tongue and slowly licked the milk in the bowl.
Yarna narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the wolf cub, and said word by word: "We really can't do anything about Sunaifa. Her bloodline is pure, and combined with [Blizzard], she is too powerful."
"One Sunaifa has already overwhelmed us, and now there is a new king who has also awakened the Zhenbing bloodline. When he grows up in two or three years, he may be another Sunaifa. By then, will our two clans be able to protect themselves wisely?"
"Zhen Bing wants to command us in the name of the new king, why don't we just do the opposite and use the new king to counter the Zhen Bing tribe?"
As she spoke, a trace of ferocity flashed in Yaerna's eyes, causing the wolf cub that was drinking milk to unconsciously make an uneasy sound.
"Are you going to take action against the new king?" Helica's expression changed slightly, and she was surprised by Yarna's boldness. "The new king has been in Phoenix all this time, and is under Sunaifa's nose. How can you take action?"
"It's not true," Yarna shook her head and said, "The new king does not stay in Phoenix all the time. He goes to the nearby Valar Bay every now and then, and in most cases there is no one accompanying him to escort him."
"This is our opportunity."
"What do you want me to do?" Helica seemed to be moved, put down the wolf pup, and looked at Yarna.
"The personnel we deployed in Phoenix were basically cleared by Zhen Bing last year, and in the end we spent a lot of resources to redeem them from the tribe.
But To tell you the truth, there are still two or three who have escaped their investigation and are still lurking in Phoenix. "
"I have not dared to contact them for the past year, for fear of exposing them."
"I think the situation of your Frostwolf clan is the same." Hearing this, Helica was silent for a moment, and then nodded slowly, "I also have three people in Phoenix, all of them are old people."
"How is the strength? I have three people here, two second-level iceborn mage, and one is a third-level iceborn mage." Yarna asked.
The two tribes join forces, so that they can gather five second-level ice-born mage and one third-level ice-born mage. They only need to wait for the new king to leave Phoenix and go to Valar Bay, and then take action together to capture the new king on the way."
"How?"
"It's too dangerous. If Sunaifa is really controlled by us because of the new king, then everyone will be happy. But what if Sunaifa doesn't care about the new king? How can you and I withstand Sunaifa's anger?" After thinking for a long time, Helica still chose to shake her head, "Facing the crowd. Zhen Bing, two pure-blood ice descendants, I should be thinking about ways to protect myself, rather than risking my life with you."
"No, of course I have a backup plan."
After Helica said this, Yarna understood that it was impossible to convince Helica to take action without showing something real.
She gritted her teeth and decided to reveal some clan secrets,
Yarna knocked on the huge war hammer hanging around her waist, and her knuckles collided with the steel, making a clear sound like gold and stone striking against each other.
This warhammer, which became the symbol of the Winterhammer tribe, is really called "Icebreaker".
The Ice Breaker's hammer head is in the shape of an irregular polyhedron, cast from three pieces of molten meteorite iron. The surface is crisscrossed with ravines. If you look closely, the ravines are inlaid with red crystals, like magma flowing in metal.
The handle of the war hammer is three feet long, and the end of the handle is inlaid with a blazing red gem in the shape of a dragon's head.
This is a powerful warhammer that allows ice wizards to master the power of fire.
"You should know that the origin of Ice Breaker is not simple, right?" Yarna asked.
Helica's eyes wandered, and she glanced over the huge war hammer, hiding the greed in her eyes well, "Of course, who doesn't know that without this icebreaker, your Winter Hammer clan would have been wiped out long ago."
"Back when we were the Winter's Claw tribe, the tribe declined and was about to be exterminated. At this time of life and death, War Mother Varatea chose to leave the tribe and go east alone."
"Her original intention was to find the Frostguard tribe who had left the eastern region and pray for protection."
"But in fact, War Mother Varatea did not find Frost." The Wei tribe could not even enter the eastern restricted area of the North. "When she entered the central area of the North, she encountered a terrifying thunderstorm. In order to escape the thunderstorm, War Mother Varatea lost her way and accidentally came to a place called the Melting Plain."
“And at the foot of these volcanoes, there is a group of remnants who call themselves the Sheep Family.”
"War Mother Varatea got to know the Sheep Family because of this thunderstorm, and told her identity and origin. After learning about it, the kind-hearted Sheep Family made an icebreaker for War Mother Varatea."
The surprise in Helica's eyes could no longer be concealed.
Rongyuan, the sheep family
She never expected that there would be such a powerful tribe in the desolate central region of the North.
And they just spent a little time to build a hammer, which can bring Winter's Claw back to life.
"But," the shock was followed by confusion. Helica frowned and asked, "What do you tell me have to do with the plan to attack the new king that you mentioned earlier?"
"Of course it does matter," Yarna smiled mysteriously, and continued: "Don't worry."
"The Sheep Family is a reclusive clan. War Mother Valatea was sent out by the Sheep Family when she left the melting plain."
“After returning to the tribe, War Mother Varatea told the tribe about this experience. In the following years, many tribesmen tried to go eastward to find the melting plains and the Sheep Family, but they found nothing and returned empty-handed. Many of them even never came back.”
"We gradually understood that the Sheep Family did not want to be known to outsiders. War Mother Varatea accidentally entered the melting plain because of the thunderstorm, so we gave up the idea of looking for the Sheep Family."
"But just a week ago, our Winter's Hammer tribe ushered in the A special guest."
"You mean," Helica, as a war mother of a clan, reacted very quickly, "Sheep family?!"
"That's right."
"How come, didn't you say that they can't come out?" Helica was puzzled.
"It was the master craftsman they believed in who felt something incredible was born in the western part of our northern border last year."
h "So, he asked the Yang family to send people to come to our western region to find out."
"The north is so big that we can't even find a huge melting plain, let alone what they are looking for is just one thing. They must seek help from the local people, that is, us."
"This sheep family found our Winter's Hammer through the mark left on the icebreaker, expressed his intention, and hopes that we can help him find the thing that caused the master craftsman to be uneasy."
"Not to mention that the sheep family has a great favor to our Winter Hammer, but based on his strength, we cannot refuse his request."
"His strength?" Helica captured the key point.
The power of fire, even if it is only five rings, cannot be defeated by Sunaifa. "
"We are helping him find what he is looking for, and he himself is temporarily a guest in our clan, waiting for news from us."
"This is the best time."
"Capture the new king, and then escort the new king to our Winter's Hammer.
If we can attract Sunaifa to knock on the door, how can this sheep family just sit idly by?
I will think of something to do. Fa borrowed his hand to capture Sunaifa, thus completing his victory in one battle, so that you and my tribe will no longer have to worry about being annexed, and then use the new king to blackmail the Zhenbing tribe to hand over the No. 1 northwest barley species."
"But," Helica frowned slightly, sensing something was wrong, "Judging from what you said, it seems that it doesn't matter whether our Frostwolf clan joins in, so why do you need to go out of your way to persuade me to join your plan?"
"Because I'm worried that my people won't be able to win the new king with certainty, and after winning the new king, I need your cooperation to help me escort him to the tribe.
"In addition, for such a big event, I need someone to share the pressure with me." Yarna said frankly.
"Yarna, what do you think of my wolf cub?" Helica suddenly changed the subject at this time.
Yarna didn't know what Helica meant by this. She glanced at the little wolf cub and subconsciously replied: "The head is broad, the neck is thick, the frame is straight, and the hair is bright and streaked with dense and unvaried colors. It is a good breed."< br/>
"Indeed, it is a rare and good breed. War mother Yarna, you come back in half a year, when it will be weaned, and this wolf pup will be given to you then. I wish you immediate success." Helica said with a smile.
