Othua's War Banner

Chapter 385 0384: Invitation to the War Jing Rally
The village seemed a little deserted.

Ken put on his coat and came to the stream in front of the village, the ice pick pointed at him like a watchdog or poultry barking, and the surrounding berry fields and plantations were blackened.

[You came to Tewen Village, a piece of land affected by the flames of war, and the villagers looked at you in fear. 】

Ken didn't rush to get in touch, but asked [Valery], who was proficient in the slang around him, to talk to him, and he was afraid that his rough appearance would cause misunderstanding, so he asked Quema to follow closely.

The marauders besieged Ambera Iceport, and the nearby villages were inevitably invaded.

Therefore, the villagers here did not reject the teams stationed here, after all, there was nothing to steal, so it was better to charge some rent for empty houses to barely survive the early cold after spring.

The negotiations were very successful, especially when Kuima said that he could pay in advance, the attitude of the villagers was much softer.

Ken could see the neatly arranged winter houses, the tanning yard that stopped turning, and the workbench built of cobblestones. The animal shed was more than half collapsed, but it was still able to barely shelter from the wind and rain, and it could be used directly with a little repair.

Kuima hurried back and reported to Zhan Jing:

"The team should be able to settle down and get through tonight's snowfall," he lowered his voice. "But there's a problem right now."

Ken nodded and leaned over, and heard Kuima say: "There is another group of people stationed in the village, all armed. They should be a team of a certain tribe. There are men and women, and they are all fighters who can fight."

This place is located at the junction of Snow Sea and Wangfeng Valley, and there are not many places to stay.

Ken had already guessed that there would be neighbors before he arrived, but he didn't have to choose, after all, the wind and snow are not forgiving.

"Just stay here, keep your position, don't send scouts, if the other side wants to find out about us, just turn a blind eye and close one eye, if it's too much, you can only show your temper."

Kuima could tell that Zhan Jing wanted to live more securely. "Hope it's all right."

The party pays, and the camels and mounts are led around.

The mountain people live by hunting, and almost every winter house has animal sheds and snow pits. The wild animals are tied up and fed with some snowmelt and forage. The members of the knife and ax team have all suffered in the north.

Dig a deep pit behind the leeward boulder, tamp the soil and bury the planks, light the firewood soaked in animal oil, and you can listen to the howling sound until dawn.

Ken has the Frost Whisperer, which has very high cold resistance.

There are also exceptionally talented individuals in the Ax team, so they can adapt to the harsh environment.

Scholar Norlin and Mag could only live in the winter house, and the flames were big enough to avoid frostbite.

The soldiers of Kuima and Thornton Kaya were in charge of guarding, and from time to time they would discuss the strength of the Knives and Axes.

They are also the aborigines of the northern border...

They are village farmers or refugees, able to live in cold climates, but the guys from the Sword and Ax team have been running around for survival since they were very young, and they are a group of tough guys who can preserve their fighting power in the wind and snow.

The night was not quiet, the wind and snow came mercilessly, and ice slag could condense in the howling sound.

Kuima and the scouts guarded the bonfire. At night, some villagers sent lambs with animal oil to warm their bodies. By the way, they checked whether the people showed signs of freezing to death, so that they could prepare for the disposal of the corpses after dawn.

"It's unlucky, but there's nothing wrong with it."

Lanz hugged the giant axe, rubbed his shoulders, and nestled by the campfire like a sleeping beast.

Kuima and Lorja were in charge of the first half of the night, looking at the backs of the villagers, and went to the outside to observe the weather.

The sky on a snowy night is a depressing blue-black, and occasionally there will be huge monsters looming, they are migratory flying monsters, and there are summons that only some tribes will use.

A clear ray of light penetrated the clouds and moved above everyone's heads.

"What is that thing? Meteor, it doesn't look like it, magic is not enough, what kind of light beam can fly so far..."

Kuima's muttering attracted Lorgar's attention. He shrugged his shoulders and ran out to squint his eyes to observe. Langz was awakened by the movement of the two, and walked into the snow with a bluff to look up.

The sky was so dark, and the wind and snow were so tight, it felt like my pupils were about to be frozen.

Kuima and Lorgar lowered their heads to avoid the snow blowing on their faces, but when they looked up again, they couldn't find them.

There are many wonders in Palotusbi, flooded beasts, looming illusions, and even nocturnal monsters can be seen everywhere. This little thing is quickly forgotten by everyone.

Kuima really thought about telling Zhan Jing, but saw that the doors and windows of his room were closed, so she dismissed the idea.

Ken just stayed in his winter house. The charcoal fire in the fireplace started to dim without any care, and there were no lights around.

He sat leaning against the wall, his pupils glowing with a faint blue light.

Ken's left hand was firmly cuffed to his arm, and the strong magic call almost made it difficult for him to concentrate. It was only with strong willpower that he suppressed it until he was alone.

His face was covered with cold sweat, and he worriedly opened his gray vision to observe the surrounding sentries.

Neither Quema nor the members of Team Ax paid attention to this side.

Ken let go of his hand with relief, trying to act according to the will of the magic call.

He slowly loosened his arm armor, took off his pitch-black gloves, and rolled up his sleeves again, exposing the black Thornton Kaya emblem to the air.

This is the [Certificate of Battle Banner] granted by Mother Winter to Ken, and it is the most orthodox proof of Battle Banner of Palotusbi.

When the meteor streaked across the night just now, the call became extremely strong.

Ken saw that the coat of arms on his arm suddenly began to glow, and the blue lines began to outline a specific shape, until they surrounded the entire battle banner, and then converged towards the palm.

He felt a ray of warmth hit him, and then the light condensed into a beast.

It is tall and powerful, and seems to be taller than Longjing and Feilang. The muscles on the four hooves are clearly visible, and then the rustling hair flutters backwards. As the distinctive head condenses, the phantom also begins to move. .

This is a wilderness lion, and it is an ice and snow alien species, very powerful.

Ken stared at it, as if it was staring at himself, and then the beast roared in his palm. Although there was no sound, his body was still involuntarily tense...

【Summon: Invitation Letter to the Battle Signal Gathering】

[Description: The battle flag meeting is held. As the leaders of the northern tribes, they should follow the etiquette established by the old gods, go to the Red Maple Heights to respond, and participate in the final vote. 】

"What is the Warring Gathering... Can someone know of my existence?"

Ken knew that there was great magical power in this wasteland, and now he understood its majesty, because the power of magic could be felt in the bones.

It seems that from the moment it becomes a war banner, it has established a connection with the ground under its feet.

This is both authority and responsibility.
