That's very badass

Chapter 37 The Missing Troll

I stayed there until late November, with heavy snow covering my knees, but I still didn’t wait for the troll’s revenge.

Roland knew that these trolls probably didn't have the strength to retaliate against humans.This also confirmed his guess that such weather, whether for trolls or humans, this is no longer the season for fighting.

The outdoor temperature can reach as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius. Even during the day, the temperature is only minus ten degrees Celsius.But even so, those damn snowflakes are still fluffy.

Only trampled or compacted snowflakes turn into solid ice.

The road leading to the human world is a snow track made up of a layer of compacted ice. Even a horse will be slippery and unable to stand up.Therefore, foot horses came into being.

Each foot horse is about 8.9 cm long, 6.8 cm wide, and 1.4 cm high. It is made of iron, has four teeth, double hanging rings, and the two sides are slightly warped.The foot clip is a sharp anti-slip tool for snow walking. The specific method of use is that the four teeth of the foot clip are downward, and the iron nails are nailed under the horse's hoof. Using the grip force of the four teeth of the foot clip, the anti-skid effect is achieved.

Roland, who got up in the morning, pushed open the wooden door, and the cold wind hit his face, making him shiver uncontrollably.

I have to say that a wooden house, even if it is covered with mud, is still so cold, but at least it is much better than staying in a world of ice and snow.However, a day of training cannot be neglected, which at least allows the body to warm up.

He looked around, saw only a few people in the schoolyard, went straight to the room of Andal and Mirron, and kicked the wooden door away.

Mirlon who heard the sound immediately got up, and Andal was already pretending to be asleep. Roland immediately raised his two-handed sword and slashed at it fiercely.

Hearing a sound, Andal raised the weapon beside him, blocked the attack, and said helplessly: "Roland, my dear Roland, what are you doing so early in such a cold day? You can't let this damned Is training a little later?"

After speaking, he began to put on the armor neatly. Seeing this, Roland just stood by and watched without saying a word.

Obviously this was not the first time this happened, otherwise the sword would have killed Andal.

However, for Roland, if you neglect training today, you may die on the battlefield tomorrow.

"The last time we attacked the stronghold, so many people died, just because the trolls were born stronger than us." Andal said helplessly, and he was a little worried about the obstacles Roland fell into.

Seeing what Andal said, Roland's expression darkened, "Shut up."

Upon seeing this, Mirron quickly pulled Andal into the room where he left.

Roland didn't know it, but soldiers with a promotion system can greatly improve their abilities just by training.Their training time is far less than that of those natives who really train hard.

It's fine if the soldiers don't get up, since they are the deputy commanders, since they also got up so late.Even Mirlon, a conscientious person, was brought into this by Andal, which made Roland feel annoyed.

I don't know what's going on with the trolls. During this period of time, they haven't even sent scouts. . .

After the daily training, his strength has reached 20 points, and his height has grown again. This makes him feel mixed, and he will grow to 1.9 meters.As an LSP, he was a little worried that he would not be able to find a suitable partner in the future.

Roland opened the property panel: "

As for Andal, there was no upgrade.

In the blacksmith's shop in the stronghold, charcoal is always burning to forge weapons, agricultural tools, and everything needed.

The outside of the blacksmith shop was also where the soldiers gathered in their free time. Because of the temperature emanating from the entire blacksmith shop, there was no trace of snow on the entire outside of the house or on the roof.

The blacksmiths were only wearing a pair of pants, and they were making ironware by the fire in the blacksmith shop. Every time the hammer fell, there was sweat falling down.Sometimes when it falls on the equipment being forged, it will make a light bang.

When Roland had nothing to do, he would always come to the blacksmith shop and watch them forging iron.The temperature here is in great contrast to the ice and snow outside.Here, you can even take off your thick winter coat, squat aside and enjoy the comfort brought by the sound of iron.

In the past, he didn't like it so much, but now he can already fall asleep to the sound of iron hammering.

This, perhaps, is the rare warmth in this cold winter.

Can't drag it on anymore, Roland always felt that the troll was hiding some kind of conspiracy, he decided to take the soldiers and go to the depths of the Forest of Eternal Night to investigate.

Roland took a small group of elites and started to go deep into the forest. Along the way, except for the occasional trace of wild beasts, there was no trace of troll activity.

They came to the troll's stronghold with difficulty, seeing that there were no enemies on the map, Roland led them into the stronghold.It was a dreamy feeling to find that the heavy snow had completely covered the stronghold, turning it into a snow castle.

Obviously, no one has taken care of this place for a long time. Roland led the soldiers and began to dig the snow to confirm whether the troll's body had been cleaned up. It took a lot of effort to dig a short distance.

There is no corpse of a troll on the ground. It seems that the trolls have already been here, but for some unknown reason, they abandoned this place and left it deserted.

After digging a short section, he didn't intend to let the soldiers continue digging, because some soldiers could not stand the cold, so he could only judge based on this section.

Is the troll ready to give up here?With doubts, Roland led the soldiers back to the city.

Old trolls, unequipped strongholds, and cleaned up corpses, as well as deserted strongholds, missing scouts, and long-awaited revenge in the future.All this suggests that the trolls are in trouble, and possibly big trouble.

After discussing with Andal and Myeron, he made a bold decision.

That is, spread scouts widely, search the woods comprehensively, and use them to determine the movements of the trolls.

The soldiers' brows and beards were covered with ice scum, and their heads were wrapped in thick linen. Everyone was struggling in the snow, searching for traces of trolls.

The cold wind is biting and penetrates the soul like a needle. This ghost weather, birds and animals have all disappeared without a trace.

The soldiers were still walking on the snow with one foot deep and the other shallow. Occasionally, they would stop to make a snow pit to shelter from the cold wind.

Everyone carries flints and axes. They find dead branches from the ground, and in the snow pit, they light a fire, add a pot, put some snow, wait for it to melt quietly, and then put food in, enjoying this rare comfortable.

In the past month, they had searched almost the entire Evernight Forest, and they also discovered an abandoned stronghold. Judging from the deep snow, it seemed that it had been abandoned for a long time.

As for why it was confirmed that this was a troll, could it be that there are other alien races in the Evernight Forest?
Trapped in the frigid forest, the troll has disappeared.
