Chapter 162. The Patriot and the Frost Star
When Zhou Jinru left the camp, he asked for Joshua's previous route of action. As for what would happen to the camp, it was estimated that Joe would probably be wary of himself and not dare to mess around.
Even if he messed up, his losses would only be the contents of the carriage and the suitcase. Precious items such as Xuyu's small wooden sculptures had long been stored in the Rutland Notary Office. After all, he suffered a loss in 1081, and many things were lost.
I don’t take it with me anymore.
"They went out hunting and were attacked by monsters. Only four of the fourteen people escaped. This loss was enough to bring the camp to collapse. But to hunt ten skilled warriors, the size of the monster group must be at least three digits. However,
Judging from Joshua's wounds, they were not too big."
Zhou Jinru braved the wind and snow and pursued all the way. As he went deeper, more and more traces were visible to the naked eye.
"There are many horse hoof prints and traces of bleeding. I didn't see any corpses nearby. Will this kind of monster take away the corpses?"
After walking for some distance, Zhou Jinru stopped and carefully observed the traces in the snow, his brows gradually knitted together.
The traces of people are different from Rusty Hammer. The shoe prints left by these new people all have the same pattern. This means that well-organized people arrived in advance and fought with the monster group in front of him.
Is there such a team on the Ursus Icefield?
Is it a regular army?
Based on Zhou Jinru's understanding of the Ursus Empire, most of the nobles who control the army will not agree to dispatch the army to protect some refugees in the cold winter. After all, the daily consumption of food and supplies is money, and the lives of the refugees are not at all.
valuable.
"Hey, no way, could it be them?"
A possibility suddenly occurred to him, and he blinked, a little unbelievable.
Whoops!
A signal arrow shot into the sky and exploded suddenly.
Zhou Jinru came to his senses. He didn't do anything to hide his traces all the way here. If this team had hidden sentries, he would have been discovered long ago.
At some point, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped several degrees, and even the breath he exhaled could freeze into ice.
In the wind and snow, two figures, one large and one small, gradually emerged, and then more figures emerged, forming a semi-surrounding force on Zhou Jinru.
White Carters looked at the man in black across from him, turned his head slightly, and whispered: "Father, why is there an outsider here? He doesn't look like Rusty Hammer, could he be our enemy?"
"Yelena, are you tired?"
"not yet."
She heard clearly what her father meant.
Wendigo stood about half the body behind White Carters. He was holding a halberd, and the biting cold wind blew his gray cloak, like a thick wall.
"There must be a Rusty Hammer camp here. Let me catch him. Father, please wait for me for a few minutes."
…
Zhou Jinru was secretly surprised that he would meet Shuangxing and Patriot here. A few minutes ago, he had indeed thought that it would be the Patriot troops who would deal with those monsters, but he did not expect that their father and daughter would appear at the same time.
The integration movement in 1093 was at its peak. The cooperation between leader Tallulah and Alina continued to grow this team. Compared with the madness during the attack on Chernobog, the current integration movement is more energetic and ideal.
and goals.
It was not until a year later that Alina disappeared and Tallulah collapsed that the integration movement began to decline.
To a certain extent, Patriot and Froststar will stand firmly on Tallulah's side at this time. The relationship between the father and daughter and the dragon girl is in the honeymoon period, far from the point where they are separated from each other.
"They probably won't listen to me, but to be honest, I'm really desperate and can't find anything. I originally thought it would take me a few months to find them, but now I have a good opportunity."
Zhou Jinru thought that he should seize the opportunity and sneak into the integration movement now. It would be best if he could get close to the dragon girl, observe Alina up close, and find out what Tracys' redemption plan is.
At this moment, Shuangxing walked forward alone and asked loudly: "Who are you and why are you here?!"
"I……"
As soon as he said a word, he suddenly found that his legs were frozen.
You frost magicians all like sneak attacks?
Zhou Jinru had been sneak-attacked by Candice before, and now he was attacked by Frost Star again. The method was exactly the same, using frost to limit his movement ability and further subduing him.
Moreover, they also have a common characteristic, that is, they have no intention of listening to what he has to say. They can do things and never talk nonsense.
The difference is that Candice still knows how to say a few words, and Shuangxing comes up and directly throws control skills...
Now that things have happened, Zhou Jinru doesn't want to be a good gentleman. He will fight back to whoever strikes first, without ambiguity.
Click.
He took a step forward, shattering the frost, and stood still with his arms folded, as if laughing at White Carters.
Frost Star's face changed slightly. This was the first time he saw an enemy who could disable the Frost Origin Stone's skills. Even his father could be frozen, but he couldn't stop the opponent in the slightest!
Zhou Jinru raised a finger: "Miss, if you attack me once, I will attack you again. What do you think?"
"I……"
Shuangxing was about to say something, but the patriot behind him took a step forward: "Your Excellency, are you not an evil spirit?"
"The devil is not as polite as me."
"This is a misunderstanding. Yelena mistakenly thought that you were the devil."
Zhou Jinru said nothing, just looked at Patriot.
In one sentence, Wendigo characterized the incident as friendly fire and stated that they were here to eliminate evil spirits. There was no problem from any point of view.
"This is not my fault. Due to this lady's mistake, I think you should be willing to make some compensation, right?"
Zhou Jinru sees the patriot's caution and intends to cultivate Shuangxing. As long as the conditions he proposes are not too excessive, he should agree.
The patriot asked: "Sir, what do you want?"
The man in black's eyes immediately fell on Shuangxing's armband...
White Carters are wearing the Integration Movement logo.
"Are you an integration movement? That's just right. I have some friends who were attacked by evil spirits before and now need a little help, in the name of compatriots."
Shuangxing snorted, she had long noticed the offensive look in this guy's eyes, but it was a pity that her father didn't want to have a direct conflict, otherwise it would be a good idea to poke a few holes in him with a big halberd.
Carters asked rhetorically: "Since when did Rusty Hammers and the Integration Movement become compatriots?"
"Of course not, I am talking in the name of Ursus people, aren't we a family?"
That's true, but Shuangxing always felt that something was wrong.
The patriot said solemnly: "Okay, I agree. Your friends, where are they?"
It is not that the Integrated Movement and Rusty Hammer have never been in contact, but there are conflicts that cannot coexist between the two sides in the handling of certain things, so they have always maintained a relationship where the two sides do not conflict with each other.
As the Ursus Empire's high-pressure policies tighten and the situation becomes increasingly difficult, the leader has recently begun to consider leaving the ice sheet to live in the south. Before leaving, joining forces with like-minded friends may make each other's lives a little easier.
Besides, the man in front of me didn't look hostile.
Patriot thought for a while and quickly agreed to Zhou Jinru's proposal.
