Mountain and Forest Kingdom

Chapter 572 King of the Mountains



The convoy began to set off, with giant oxen and mountain boars dragging the heavy carriages forward.

On both sides of the convoy were cavalry warriors riding Dom sheep. The weapons of these knights were mainly spears.

There are also barbarian knights who ride giant wild boars. Compared with the strong and lightweight Dom sheep knights, these wild boar knights are taller and usually half a body taller than the young men farming in the fields, like The difference between adults and children.

The Hog Rider wears armor most of the time, and the weapons in his hand are mainly long-handled battle axes.

On the battlefield, each of them is an efficient killing machine, here they are just the escort knights of the convoy.

Following behind were female guards wearing light leather armor. They were the sentinels and scouts of the team, as well as the maintainers of order within the convoy.

Most warriors only need to deal with various battles, and the rest will be done by these men and women in civilian clothes.

As the ruler of the North, he has no shortage of barbarian warriors who can make people fear him.

These majestic warriors rode terrifying behemoths forward on the mountains, and their heavy bodies easily left clearly visible footprints on the ground.

Birds and beasts in the mountains stay away from these people. Many carnivores have a very keen sense of smell and can detect these terrifying "herds" from several kilometers away and quickly leave the area.

The heavy and slow convoy gradually circled the wide lake and headed down the sloping mountain on the other side.

From seemingly flat water meadows, to gradually drying out solid rocky roads, to rugged mountain trails.

Sometimes the convoy goes downstream, and sometimes it needs to climb over mountains.

Lawrence wondered why he had to climb over the mountain instead of just digging a tunnel through the mountain.

This doubt was answered in the evening.

Everyone in the convoy came to a flat stone road with an unimpeded road ahead. As long as they continued walking on this flat road, it wouldn't take long to reach the Snow Mountain Castle.

But the soldiers and servants in the entire convoy were in a panic, and even the wild boar and giant bull pulling the cart made frightened noises.

Lawrence quickly got out of the car and walked to the edge of the stone road.

At the foot is a common canyon. Such canyons with rapids often appear in the rolling mountains.

The canyon below is not steep, with only a normal slope of more than 40 degrees on both sides. The river below looks small and not wide.

On the way, you can see broad lakes in the distance and barren mountains that are mostly barren of grass.

The stone road at your feet is an air corridor connecting two mountains, standing quietly and steadily above the canyon three to four hundred meters high at your feet.

Lawrence stood on the four- to five-meter-wide stone road, feeling the breeze blowing from the valley. He understood the fear of the soldiers behind him about this spectacle.

Just like when the barbarians saw the Crow Feather Colossus for the first time, the shock was beyond the imagination of humans who often see skyscrapers and huge buildings.

Ordinary people would feel scared when they see a giant man who is two and a half meters tall, let alone a fifty-meter tall giant in this magical world.

Now everyone has not encountered the giant, but standing on this miraculous sky corridor, awe and fear naturally arise in their hearts.

Neither the giant bull nor the giant wild boar dared to move forward. They were huge and not very courageous, especially when they encountered giant beasts and terrors that were bigger than themselves. They were as timid as a chicken.

Maybe not even as good as a chicken, because these are beasts that originally live in plains and flat areas, and have an innate fear of this dangerous terrain.

On the contrary, Dom Sheep did much better and did not cause any commotion.

Lawrence looked at this boulder road in the air that was more than a hundred meters long. It was hard to imagine how Delen and Dashiell had made it. This thing had exceeded the limits of Lawrence's imagination.

"Go over there." Lawrence quickly reassured his men. "Try to walk in the middle. Be careful of the frightened livestock and don't be squeezed in by them."

Lawrence quickly led a giant bull forward. The four-meter-long giant bull behind him was very docile in front of Lawrence. Although he was still a little scared, he followed carefully.

The carriage behind it also moved forward steadily, slowly moving forward on this flat, dry and heavy stone road.

Under the leadership of the prophet, everyone mustered up the courage to follow.

The little nun Lana closed her eyes tightly on the hanging board at the back of the carriage, holding the somewhat curious Yu Bao in her arms.

Fuao walked silently on the road behind. She was very quiet along the way, learning various knowledge from the female warriors in the convoy.

Sophie, who is also a female warrior, also followed the team. Sophie was born in a poor mountain. It is difficult for people who are afraid of heights to survive in the mountains.

People who are afraid of water rarely drown, but in an environment full of deep water and rapids, people who are afraid of water are definitely more likely to die than people who are good at water.

In the mountains, it is difficult for the fear of heights gene to continue, and most of the survivors have adapted to the steep mountain terrain.

Most barbarians living on the plains and near the sea are afraid of heights, but some people are born warriors and are not afraid of many things.

Fuao falls into this category.

Tim and Fuao were crowded together, and she was afraid of falling.

Lolita, who was sitting between the two of them, was smiling and not afraid at all.

"It won't fall. I also helped when this road was built! You have to believe me!"

Lolita's abilities are very useful, even more useful than Heidi's water abilities.

However, Lolita itself does not have many subjective abilities. Heidi can better arrange how she uses her abilities. In exchange, part of the reward will be given to the girl who does the work.

Lawrence, who was walking at the front, thought about how to build this road. After passing this road, he also thought of several ways to build a stone bridge.

The safest way is to block one end of the canyon, store water in the valley between the two mountains in summer or during periods of heavy rainfall, and then rely on ships to transport stones, cement, sand, etc. on both sides for fixation.

With Delenn and Dashiel's earth attribute abilities, coupled with Lolita's buoyancy ability, building this boulder road is just a matter of assembly time.

But even so, this is still a huge project. It can be built in dozens of days or even less time while expanding the city. This kind of construction capability is already very terrifying.

Barbarian warriors rely on their strong physical fitness to suppress ordinary people in many aspects such as height, weight, and strength. When ordinary people face these powerful barbarians, they are like encountering natural enemies.

Although the barbarian warriors have a powerful physique, they have a blood-based fear when facing those seemingly thin and short wizards.

This kind of wonder underfoot, this kind of huge project may not be anything to a wizard.

For most wizards in this era, the legendary barbarian king Lawrence Crowfeather, the king of the mountains who conquered Mount Agama, is the most terrifying existence.

In the eyes of most extraordinary beings, Lawrence is the mountain they recognize. No matter how powerful the wizard is, he will realize his weakness and humbleness when facing the king of mountains.

He is the king of giants standing on the mountains, and can easily crush any wizard or any national force. (End of chapter)
