Othua's War Banner

Chapter 192 0191: Recruits

[Snow] and his parents lived on grazing and farming in Tarize, a village on the mountain road south of Santon Kaya.

He hunted with the village elders when he was very young, loved snow wrestling and provocative fights, and always thought that life in the wilderness was full of loneliness until he became an adult.

Most of the villages that Winter Mother shelters are mild.

Both [Kehe Village] and [Tarize] have only Orion and a small number of militiamen.

The number of households in the village is very small, not to mention the wealth, it is considered lucky to make a living, and it belongs to the kind of miserable place that even the bandits in spring are unwilling to patronize.

About a year ago.

The outpost of the Painted Ice Apostle attacked [Tarize], and the leader was [Scimitar Kumber], a notorious raider.

At that time, Ken Bouvier had not yet appeared, there were still hundreds of households in Santon Kaya, Tu Zhanwa was stationed on the high wall, and Frengundo had just ended the frontier war...

Tarize was burned, and countless people were displaced.

Snow escaped by chance and became one of the refugees. He visited several villages affected by the war and embarked on a wandering journey.

Although the process was difficult, he and his parents fled to [Berlendi Port], which is the largest commodity distribution point of [Duwar Tribe].

The refugees are all waiting to be taken in, hoping that the merchant leader or the big tribe will recruit labor to get a place to live.

Snow's mother was in poor health, and his father had old injuries from hunting in his early years.

Although he is stubborn, he is kind and simple in his heart. He can't abandon his relatives and go to the port to take risks alone. So he gave up the work of the beast sailboat to the young people in the same village, took care of his family by himself, and continued to wait for the right opportunity.

One wait is one year.

Snow has been smoothed by war and life.

Frustrated everywhere, he worked as a coolie in the black market, did odd jobs for those fat traders and stingy intermediaries, and occasionally did some lesser-known jobs to earn money for meals.

During this year, the refugees left [Port Berendi] one after another to live a new life.

Snow was strong and strong, and he was once favored by the legion, who invited him to be a snowfield guide, and a mercenary leader handed him blood-stained gold coins.

He refused and continued to live in a daze.

The groaning voices of the parents lingered in my ears.

Sometimes, he doesn't know what he is waiting for.

Snow was working at the port, and every time he rested, he could see the new arrivals of refugees.

This shows that the war is still going on, not only the Ice Apostles, but also other conflicts are constantly unfolding in the northern border, and every spring is accompanied by a frenzy of death and wandering.

The subsistence stew and the heavy sack made Snow more and more tired.

With no way to vent his suppressed anger, he began to go in and out of the port tavern, using the inferior and choking [Rotten Leaf Stuffing] to numb himself.

until a certain time...

Snow overheard a businessman selling consumables discussing current affairs.

"A lacquered ice apostle in the south has been defeated. I heard that there is a newly rising tribe near the Qiuming Ancient Road."

"Zhanjing lacks population and promises a stable life to refugees."

"Ken Bouvier, that seems to be the name."

"There are rumors that he is from southern Xinjiang, but most of them are nonsense. Only drunk mercenaries can say such nonsense."

……

Snow hesitated again and again, and persuaded his family to accompany him to migrate south.

The blizzard and the beasts looking for food made him doubt his decision for a while.

But as he got closer to the Permafrost Falls and walked on the [Flynn Trail], there were more and more people traveling together, which made Snow feel more at ease.

Refugees flocked to Santon Kaya, and merchants and mercenaries also sensed an opportunity and used it as a stopover.

Defeating the tribe of the Ice Apostle will bring a sense of security to the traveler.

Snow mixed among the refugees, while distributing food to his family, he stretched his neck to observe the surrounding situation.

"The rumors are all true."

The brand-new and strong gate, the friendly and polite way of welcoming, the tribal rules of distribution according to work, and the coalition alliance gathered here, and...

The battle banner of the face of southern Xinjiang.

Ken Bouvier.

Snow saw his majestic giant wolf, his young appearance, and the majestic ax behind his back, which seemed to hide surging power.

Snow also found that:
The Thornton Kaya Light Cavalry is recruiting.

The army would provide extra food, wealth, and even a winter house to live in, so he enlisted.

Si Nuo was in good physical condition after climbing and rolling in the snowy field.

He is very eye-catching among the soldiers of the same class. The fighting skills he learned from the port criminals are overwhelming, and the bow and arrow riding skills are all out of the question. The twists and turns of fate also make Snow's will strong enough.

He became a new star in the barracks.

In the last level, facing the wolves, all recruits are looking forward to his performance.

Snow climbed over a tall wooden wall, shot a grass target on a shaky rope bridge, and finally plunged into a cold cave to swim to the other end, and then passed the old rider's combat assessment...

"Huh, finally."

He was shirtless, and picked the biggest whistle from the ones placed on the snow.

"Huh?" Kuima hummed lightly on the bed, he glanced at the battle flag beside him, "This wolf is..."

"I agree."

Ken waved his hand and looked towards the center of the venue with great interest. He even asked the person in charge for Snow's name, and then secretly remembered it in his heart.

The wild wolf will decide whether to deny the master based on the performance of the rider.

This level is usually just a symbolic test of courage.

but……

When Snow's chosen wolf came out of the animal shed, the exclamation of the onlookers instantly became a wave of sound.

This [Alienated Wild Wolf] is a temporary mount that Ken caught in [Su Penluo Valley]. It is not bad in appearance and of excellent quality.

The riders were so greedy, they didn't expect to be drawn by the lucky Snow!
"It's really strong."

Langz was gearing up, wishing he could jump over the fence and replace the tester with himself.

The shaman accompanying the army pointedly pointed out: "The battle banner has been its master, and I am afraid it will be a big test for the new rider."

"Hahaha, don't overestimate it, this wolf is just a little puffy and looks like a bluff."

Ken let out a light laugh and continued.

"That's interesting. The Santon Kaya wolf cavalry needs some brave men."

Ow—

Howling wolves resounded through the arena.

Before Snow entered the arena, the person in charge told him to just wait with open arms.

But he felt something was wrong, and dodged at the last moment. The wolf's claws grazed his chest, obviously a heavy attack!
"what happened!"

"The beast is not convinced."

The onlookers talked a lot, and the riders who passed the test felt a wave of fear. After all, they just opened their arms just now, and the beast took the initiative to accept its master.

A new situation appeared on the snow.

Snow spit out the froth in his mouth, frowned and stood up again.

"Ow."

Snow could hear the bluff hidden in the wolf's howl, like a tavern gambler holding bad cards and still yelling loudly.

He stood up and kicked out the snow dust to block his sight, then rushed in and rolled onto the wolf's back.

He didn't talk too much, just holding the huge wolf's head and swinging it with his own body weight.

The experience of working on the giant ship came in handy at this time.

The captain often asks the laborers to rescue supplies in rainy days, and the port is turbulent, so he can exercise his muscles and balance.

"Tell me, who is the boss!"

Snow got angry and threatened to break its neck.

Those blood-red eyes scared even wild animals.
