In this action, over 110 soldiers of the allied forces were killed or wounded, over 300 pioneers were killed or wounded. All the pioneers in the canyon were driven out by the allied forces.
After driving away all the pioneers in the canyon, the allied forces set checkpoints and camps at the two ends of the canyon and the entrances to the underground relics. They started to dispatch soldiers to guard and patrol. Everything was decided in this way.
In only one morning, Zhang Tie had witnessed the iron law of survival of the fittest in this age.
In the eyes of pioneers, the allied forces were like robbers and bandits; however, in the eyes of the allied forces, these pioneers were all thieves. Zhang Tie found that both parties had their own reasons. Therefore, reasoning was bullsh * t. In the end, they still talked with their fists and swords.
The allied forces had the toughest and most powerful fists. Therefore, the allied forces' words were the rules here.
...
At noon, when the sun was hanging high in the sky, Zhang Tie saw some fighters of the allied forces erecting a huge wooden bulletin board at the east entrance of the canyon on his rhino-horse.
— — This place is under the jurisdiction of the allied forces in the south of Ice and Snow Wilderness.
— — Pioneers are welcome to explore the underground relics for treasures.
— — We will levy a 50% relic excavation tax on all the achievements of pioneers in the underground relics. Meanwhile, we will guarantee the safety of taxpayers and their properties in Ice and Snow Wilderness.
There were only three sentences on the bulletin board. The wooden bulletin board was new. The words were bright red and eye-catching. They were written with the fresh blood of those pioneers whose heads had been chopped off. A few meters away from this public bulletin board, over 100 pioneers' heads were piled up, forming a sharp contrast with this bulletin board.
Relics excavation tax? Sh * t, when did these guys in Ice and Snow Wilderness, who were almost half barbarians, know how to collect taxes?
'Useless robbers need to use sabers and spears to rob others; capable robbers only need to collect taxes. 'This was what Donder once told Zhang Tie. At the sight of that ridiculous bulletin board, Zhang Tie finally understood that the so-called tax collection was just another way of robbery. The only difference between the two was that this way looked more civilized. Moreover, the victim's fragile self-esteem was taken care of.
At this moment, Zhang Tie heard the thundering hoofs of rhino-horse cavalries. He turned around and saw Sabrina rushing towards him with a team of over 200 female cavalries.
Sabrina was wearing the purple leather armor that Zhang Tie saw her for the first time. Her black hair danced up and down with the agile movements of the xiphodon, making her look very vigorous.
Seeing Zhang Tie stopping here, Sabrina revealed a smile. He then rushed towards Zhang Tie with the female troop and stopped in front of Zhang Tie.
It seemed that the rhino-horse was a bit afraid of Sabrina's xiphodon. When it saw the xiphodon approaching, it couldn't help but move back a couple of steps while shaking its head.
"The grey eagle tribe told me that you were out. You're really here!" Sabrina's voice sounded pleasant.
"What? Are you looking for me? "Zhang Tie asked her.
"It's so boring here. I heard that you're going to hunt huge wolves. How about we go together? We could have some meat for the tribe. Gangula said that we might stay here longer than expected. If we don't have enough dried rations, we have to find a way. I'm afraid that each tribe will send out hunting teams to hunt every day. Let's go ahead of them! "
Glancing at the female cavalries behind Sabrina, Zhang Tie knew that Sabrina was not hunting; instead, she was going out to play. If the wild bear tribe depended on these female cavalries for food, all the fighters of the wild bear tribe would have to eat grass roots in two weeks.
'But it's not bad. It's not contrary to my purpose here. If I go out with these female cavalries, I will not be that eye-catching no matter what I do. '
"Do you have so few people? You should know that the pioneers are still gathering outside the canyon!"
"I have you as my bodyguard. Additionally, don't look down on me. I'm already a LV 7 fighter!" Sabrina said proudly as she raised her chest.
Recalling the scene when he saw this mermaid swimming in the river, Zhang Tie stealthily glanced at Sabrina's two white rabbits and silently swallowed his saliva. After being silent for a short while, he said, "Fine, but you have to follow my order!"
"No problem. But are you familiar with the surrounding environment? Don't take us around for half a day without catching any prey! "Sabrina rolled her eyes at Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie revealed a smile as he raised his arm. After a few seconds, a white owl flapped its wings and landed on Zhang Tie's arm. At the same time, it rotated its head like a turret and gazed at Sabrina in front of him.
"Ah..." Sabrina watched Zhang Tie with an amazed look. "Is this your pet?"
"Not bad, how about it?" Zhang Tie became a bit pleased.
"A white owl, so beautiful!"
"With its help, you don't need to worry about finding prey anymore!" Zhang Tie said as he touched the owl's head and sent a command to it. Closely after that, he raised his arm and had the owl fly off. After reaching over 100 m high, it hovered in the sky for a short while before flying towards one direction.
"Go..." Zhang Tie shook the reins of the rhino-horse and rushed out together with the owl.
Watching Zhang Tie's back, a brilliant light flashed across Sabrina's eyes. Closely after that, she also shook the reins. The xiphodon also rushed out together with Zhang Tie, closely followed by the female cavalries.
In the sky, owls were not known for their eyesight, but in any case, their eyesight was still much better than that of humans. If they were placed in the sky, they would not be able to see anything. If they put it in the sky, it would basically be like putting an active sentry in the sky. Additionally, this owl had an ability that other animals couldn't match. That was its super hearing. Its hearing was even more terrifying than its eyesight. The shape of the owl's entire face was a sound radar. In winter, this thing could even hear the sound of mice moving under the snow from a kilometer away, and it could accurately locate them.
Zhang Tie discovered this knowledge when he contacted with this owl these days. The Great Wilderness Seal established a mysterious connection between him and the owl. Through this mysterious connection, Zhang Tie could gradually sense some bizarre abilities of this animal. This was also the power of the Great Wilderness Sutra.
Before this, Zhang Tie didn't know that this pet owl in Ice and Snow Wilderness could have such a great ability.
Therefore, although this owl's level was very low, it was the best sentry and scout for Zhang Tie at this moment.
...
After rushing out of the canyon for less than 1 km, Zhang Tie had found a problem. As long as Sabrina drew close to him on her mount, his rhino-horse would move back as if it dared not to be too close to Sabrina's mount. As a result, Zhang Tie became pretty depressed and had to adjust the direction and speed of his rhino-horse at any time.
Looking at this situation, Sabrina giggled. "Xiphodon is the best and most powerful mount in Ice and Snow Wilderness. Many animals are afraid of it. If not the relationship between xiphodon and the rider has to be cultivated, I would gift you a xiphodon!"
He recalled that Nurdo, the cousin of O'Laura, was also riding such a xiphodon in a coquettish way. Zhang Tie immediately became interested in this animal.
"Did you catch this xiphodon in the wild? Why did you catch it after coming to Ice and Snow Wilderness? How come I didn't see it in the wild? "
"Almost all the xiphodon are wild. However, wild xiphodon could only be seen in the north of Ice and Snow Wilderness. Only the huge bear tribe could capture and tame this powerful living being. Our xiphodon was purchased from the huge bear tribe..." Sabrina said as she gently stroked the golden hair on the head of the xiphodon, "Lili has been with me for over 20 years. She was gifted to me by my father on my 7th birthday!"
Zhang Tie glanced at that huge guy. He had not imagined that this guy was already over 20 years old. Given its performance, this guy seemed to have a much longer lifespan than a horse. When a horse was over 20 years old, it should have become old; however, this guy was still alive and kicking.
"Does this animal have a long lifespan?"
"Of course, xiphodon is a standard LV 6 living being. Common xiphodon could live about 100 years like commoners. In Ice and Snow Wilderness, each bear-killing fighter's biggest dream is to have a xiphodon as his mount and partner! In battle, the same number of xiphodon cavalries could easily restrain 3 times the number of other cavalries. Additionally, xiphodon's endurance and speed almost rank top 3 among all the animals that could be used as mounts by humans on a large scale. It's not difficult for them to run 1,000 miles overnight! "
After hearing Sabrina's introduction, Zhang Tie was startled inside. This animal was born to be a powerful mount. If it could be equipped on a large scale, it would be a biological tank on the battlefield. Additionally, given the xiphodon's body shape and how it could run easily, it would not be a problem to equip it with a full set of mount armor with high protective power.
"Has the wild bear tribe established a cavalry of xiphodon?"
Sabrina rolled her eyes at Zhang Tie, "Yes, each tribe in Ice and Snow Wilderness wants to have a cavalry of xiphodon. However, xiphodon is too hard to get. Additionally, the cost of feeding a xiphodon is too high. After 3 years old, a xiphodon would eat at least 20 kg of meat a day. It's not a small figure. The entire wild bear tribe only has a cavalry of 400 xiphodon, which is directly led by my father. They are the personal guards of the head of the tribe. Across Ice and Snow Wilderness, only huge bear tribe maintains a King's Knights Group which consists of about 5000 xiphodons to guard our Slavs' Holy Temple."
"King's Knights Group?" Zhang Tie felt strange about this special name.
"They're a bunch of lunatics. Generation after generation, they're guarding a strange prophecy. They're paranoid people who live in their own fantasies. You've already seen two of them!" Sabrina said with a hint of waning interest.
Zhang Tie's heart raced, "Roslav and Waajid?"
"Who else could it be? They came to the huge bear tribe to tell my father that the prophecy that they had been guarding for hundreds of years was going to come true. The king of Slavs who would unify Ice and Snow Wilderness had arrived. Let the wild bear tribe prepare to welcome the king!" Sabrina sneered when she said the latter part of the prophecy.
"There can't be any conspiracy here, right?" Zhang Tie blurted out at once. Because there were too many cases in the history of humans who made idols and puppets to order their feudal lords. Zhang Tie instinctively felt that there was a high possibility that there was a conspiracy. Humans' ambition and greed were the most unpredictable.
"All the bear tribes in Ice and Snow Wilderness have been dominating one region. They've long separated. How could they unite again? Why would they go to Elzida Mountain to listen to the words of a strange guy and put him on the throne?" Sabrina shook her head, "Do you know what my father thought when he heard this news?"
"What did he think?"
"My father told my younger sisters to stay at home and prepare for the throne. If the huge bear tribe really made such a guy, my father wanted to put my younger sisters on the throne. No matter whether that guy is real or not, my father wanted to be that guy's father-in-law first!"
Hearing this, Zhang Tie rolled his eyes, "These old guys are more shrewd than monkeys. Facing such a thing, they didn't make any practical promise; instead, they planned to recognize a son and establish an undefeatable position first. Damn it, it's not easy to find a few idiots in this world.
However, when he recalled the sneaky looks of Roslav and Waajid from the huge bear tribe, Zhang Tie felt better at once. "Whatever, the wicked will be tortured by the wicked. I only need to keep those weird guys away from me."
"Your father has no vision. If I were your father, I would marry you alone. Based on your ability, I'm sure that you could make that man who's going to be the king of Slavs in the prophecy dizzy!" Zhang Tie joked with Sabrina with a smile.
Sabrina also laughed. Closely after that, she pointed at the sky in the distance, "Look, your owl is hovering over there. What does that mean?"
The owl was hovering in the sky in the distance. At the sight of the figure 8, Zhang Tie burst out into laughter, "Ha... ha... the prey is in front of us..."
"Do you want to come over? My Lili could carry two people!" Sabrina threw a glance at Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie instantly jumped off the rhino-horse and came to the back of Sabrina. With Sabrina's exclamation, Zhang Tie tightly put his arms around her slender waist and kissed her face.
"Let's run, my little mare!"
"You little b * stard!" Sabrina swore Zhang Tie as she shook the rein. Closely after that, the xiphodon ran towards the direction pointed by the owl...
