GOR Chapter 633 Snowy Mountain Crisis
Muse had never been to the snowy mountain before. However, she had been in the Tulip Family's territory in the Northwest for a few years and had experienced quite a bit of training. Moreover, she was a tomboy by nature. Compared to ordinary girls, she was a little less delicate, but a little more spirited. During her years in the Northwest, Du Wei had sent her to train under the Female Knight, Ruo Lin.
During that time, she had come into contact with a number of mercenary organizations. She had even dared to follow the mercenaries and sneak into the grasslands to play.
Thus, Muse had quite a bit of understanding towards the grasslands. Although she had never been to the snowy mountain in the grasslands, she was still able to get a general idea of its location.
"You will take us there?" The elf frowned.
"I will take you there!" Muse replied boldly.
"You recognize it? You really recognize it? "
Muse did not say anything and simply looked at the elf.

Du Wei gently kicked away a piece of rock beneath his feet. Next, he pulled out the sword hanging from his waist and dug up a pile of dirt. It did not take long for him to find what he was looking for.
Inside the hole, there was a pile of beast fur and bones that had been gnawed on. There were also some ashes left behind by the fire.
Seeing those things, Du Wei knitted his brows. Ignoring the filth, he crouched down and picked up one of the bones. He brought it to his nose and sniffed it.
After standing up, he looked at his companions and said, "They have not left this place for more than six days."
This was a valley. It was the valley where the wolf riders had rested for three days after crossing the Kilimanjaro Mountain Range.
At that moment, the surroundings were silent. Within the valley, deep within the forest, not even the chirping of birds could be heard. The sun was setting in the west and the evening wind blew into the valley, causing Du Wei's hair to flutter.
Beside him stood his only companion, the tall and stalwart man with a Cross Knight sword on his back. He had long legs and broad shoulders, and a head full of thick golden curly hair. Although he wore an eye patch on his face, it did not detract from his resolute and upright temperament.
Hussain glanced at Du Wei and said calmly, "Are you sure?"
"Of course." Du Wei stood up and patted the dirt off his hands. He smiled faintly, "Don't forget that I once hunted with the Snow Wolf Mercenaries in the Frozen Forest."
After a pause, he looked at the things at his feet and said slowly, "These are the remains of the werewolves, but they haven't rotted yet. Judging from the weather and temperature here, it shouldn't be more than six days. "
Hossein nodded his head. He walked to the side and jumped onto a piece of rock. Observing their surroundings, he said, "They must have stayed here for quite some time. There are thousands of them. After climbing this mountain, they must be exhausted. Their strength must be at its limit. If they do not rest, they will not be able to continue fighting."
Du Wei nodded, "Then we should be able to make it in time."
After a pause, he continued, "Now our problem is to quickly find two horses in the surrounding grasslands. If not, we will be at a disadvantage if we rely on our two legs to chase after them."

After Longbottom escaped from death, he immediately sent the news to Du Wei. Judging from the results of this battle, if it wasn't for Fatty's bad luck at the end, where he encountered a large group of wolf riders on the way, it could be said to be close to perfect.
In the end, they had to split up and flee. Overall, their losses were not too great. Compared to the results of this battle, the losses were within an acceptable range.
However, the news of Muse's disappearance still made the fat man feel extremely ashamed.
After the news was sent to Du Wei, Du Wei didn't stop and immediately left the Eastern Fortress to meet up with Fatty. Then, he summoned Hussain and the two of them set off to pursue the matter!
It must be said that Du Wei didn't just want to save Muse.
In terms of his identity, as the commander of the Eastern Battlefront, he couldn't just leave hundreds of thousands of soldiers and the enemies on the other side of the river for a missing girl.
If it was just a simple matter like Muse's disappearance, then even if Du Wei had a good relationship with the Lister Family, and even if Muse was the woman his brother Gabriel liked, he would never leave the Eastern Battlefront and come here personally! This wasn't to say that Du Wei was cold-blooded or cruel, but ….. As the commander, he couldn't easily leave the army!
However, he still came.
This was because, according to Longbottom's report, this matter wasn't as simple as it seemed!
Du Wei keenly caught one point: Thousands of wolf riders suddenly appeared in the Western Battlefront in large numbers ….. What was their purpose?!
Early on, Du Wei had received a lot of information about the Sinners from Rohart: The Wolf Tribe was the only tribe among the Orcs that had a cavalry system. The warriors of this tribe were strong and cunning, brave in battle, and extremely loyal to the Elven King Luo Xue! In a sense, they could be considered as the only group of Luo Xue's direct subordinates among the Orcs other than the Elven warriors.
More importantly, according to Rohart's information, the population of the Wolf Tribe wasn't too large. According to Rohart's understanding, in this large-scale return of the sinners, the werewolves had mobilized their entire clan. Almost all the young and strong warriors of the werewolves had been mobilized. The werewolves that had been formed only had a total of about ten thousand riders!
Du Wei had encountered two to three thousand of them on the Eastern Battlefront. He had been suspicious for a long time. Where did Luo Xue send such a strong troop that was also Luo Xue's direct subordinates instead of bringing them with him?
Now, he received news from Fatty: The thousands of wolf riders had all secretly run to the Western Battlefront, far away from Luo Xue!!
This news was worthy of Du Wei's deep attention! For this, he didn't hesitate to leave the Eastern Battlefront and personally went to the central area to meet up with Longbottom. Then, he led a group of Gryphon Knight and Hussain to the enemy's rear, where Longbottom and the others had encountered the enemy, and searched for clues there.
In the end, what surprised Du Wei was that, according to the traces left behind outside the forest, there had indeed been a large group of enemy troops stationed here for a short period of time. But from the traces, the numbers seemed to be far more than the two to three thousand that Longbottom had said, but more than five thousand!
What made Du Wei even more puzzled was that these five thousand wolf riders had gathered in this barren and remote place and didn't go south to attack the human defense line! Instead, from the traces left on the road, they were heading west!
Following the traces, Du Wei and Hussain quickly chased to the side of the Kilimanjaro Mountains and finally concluded that the other party had entered the mountains!
This discovery made Du Wei even more puzzled. While he was puzzled, he had a premonition in his heart: This matter wasn't simple!
Du Wei, who had originally only planned to personally take a look and then return to the Eastern Battlefront as soon as possible, changed his mind at the last minute and decided to personally pursue!
This led to a problem: It was impossible for a human army to climb over the vast mountains! Thinking about it carefully, perhaps only the Wolf Tribe with their sharp senses could maintain mobility in the mountains and forests.
Therefore, Du Wei couldn't bring an army into the mountains to pursue, he could only …
Du Wei deliberated for a long time and made a decision: He wouldn't bring any army, not even the Gryphon Knight! He ordered the Gryphon Knight to return to the Eastern Battlefront to continue defending. At least with the Gryphon Knight in the Eastern Battlefront, if the Elf Tribe attacked, they could still put up a fight.
Du Wei decided that only he and Hussain would enter the mountains to pursue.
This was also an act of helplessness: The other party had a large army of five thousand people. If he brought too few people, it would be useless. If he brought too many people … But climbing over the mountains was not something a human army could do. He and Hussain both possessed the strength of the Sage level — two Sage level masters, if they caught up and started fighting with the other party, it would be enough. Even if the other party was powerful and there were Sinner masters hidden in the army — Du Wei already knew that there were Sage level masters among the Sinners other than Luo Xue — even if they couldn't win, Du Wei and Hussain could still escape if they wanted to.
Just like this, after Du Wei and Hussain entered the mountains, they were like hunters tracking their prey, carefully searching for traces left behind by the other party's army.
In the wilderness, the orcs had natural talents and were far better at moving in such an environment than humans. Moreover, the advantage of the werewolves allowed them to move quickly even if they left the plains and were deep in the mountains.
But fortunately, the other party's numbers were too great. No matter how careful the five thousand wolf riders were, they couldn't not leave any traces behind.
Just like this, Du Wei and Hussain barely managed to chase all the way. After many days of climbing over mountains, they finally crossed Mount Kilimanjaro!
They were just seven or eight days behind the Wolf Tribe's main army.
After crossing the mountains, Du Wei confirmed that they had arrived at the borders of the grasslands. Not only did the mystery in his heart not fade away, but it became even thicker.
Grasslands … Why did the wolf riders spend so much effort to sneak into the grasslands? If it was to sneak into the Empire, there would be a reason. But the grasslands … What was there in the grasslands that was worth Luoxue spending so much effort and risking the annihilation of five thousand elite wolf riders in the mountains?
This wasn't an exaggeration to scare people — crossing the enormous Mount Kilimanjaro was not an easy task, even for the wolf tribe. The enormous mountain range, the steep mountain path, the world of ice and snow above the snow line, as well as marching on the snowy peaks, were all extremely dangerous things!
There were countless dangers in the mountains: food shortages, getting lost, landslides, and even … If they were careless and encountered an avalanche on the snowy mountains, it would be enough to bury these thousands of elite wolf riders!
— — —
After leaving the valley, Du Wei and Hussain walked around the grasslands for an entire day, but they didn't find even a single grassland herdsman's camp.
This made Du Wei's heart even more gloomy.
He had been in the northwest for a long time and had done his homework on the grassland people. He calculated that the current gathering point was the height of autumn and the fertile season for horses. According to his calculations on the map, the place he was at was the northeast of the grasslands. The water plants in this area were not bad. Logically speaking, there should be many large and small nomadic tribes and herdsman's villages scattered around here.
But after walking for an entire day, they didn't see a single shadow!
Where did all the herdsman go?
Could it be that they were all wiped out by the wolf riders?!
Finally, on the night of the second day, Du Wei and Hussain finally found a group of passing horses!
This was a group of grassland cavalry, about a thousand of them. Du Wei identified them from afar and recognized the banner of this group of grassland cavalry. They belonged to a grassland tribe that he knew, and this tribe seemed to have some trade with his Tulip family. Thus, he and Hussain approached them.
At first, the other party was very hostile, but after Du Wei showed the badge of the Tulip family that he carried with him, the other party's attitude became much more amiable.
After a conversation, Du Wei obtained important information from this group of grassland cavalry!
It turned out that the wolf riders had been wreaking havoc in the grasslands for many days. Several of the surrounding small tribes had been wiped out, and the rest had migrated far away from this area to avoid disaster.
Some tribes, in order to retaliate against this cruel enemy that suddenly fell from the sky, joined forces and organized cavalry to conduct a carpet search of this area.
This group of a thousand cavalry was one of the groups that undertook the task of searching for the enemy.
Du Wei did not reveal his identity. He only lied that he was from a caravan of the Tulip family. He was also attacked by those hateful werewolves on the road and only managed to escape with his companions.
Facing the Tulip family, this tribe's cavalry showed enough respect. They even gave a few horses to Du Wei and Hussain. At the same time, they kindly advised Du Wei to quickly leave this place and quickly find a large tribe to ensure their safety.
After many days of searching, the grassland people had already grasped the whereabouts and information of the wolf riders. According to the information, the grassland people came to the conclusion that this' enemy 'was not human. At the same time, their numbers were in the thousands. Previously, they had always attacked small tribes in order to seize their supplies. At present, however, these fellows had disappeared without a trace. It was likely that they had enough supplies and had begun to hide their whereabouts.
Du Wei produced a map of the grasslands. From the mouth of the cavalry leader, he found out the exact location of the tribe that had been attacked a few days ago. Next, he produced a piece of charcoal and marked the locations on the map …
"Look." Du Wei threw away the piece of charcoal in his hand and glanced at Hussain. "Judging from the locations of the attacks and the order of the attacks, my judgment is that these fellows are heading northwest. The first few locations that were attacked were somewhat scattered. However, the last four locations were all heading northwest …"
Hussain's expression was indifferent. "Northwest … what is there there?"
Du Wei's face sank and he rubbed his chin. "This is what I find the strangest … there is only one place in the northwest!"
He glanced at Hussain. "Great Snowy Mountain!"
The name 'Great Snowy Mountain' made Hussain raise his eyebrows. Although Hussain had never directly fought with people from the Great Snowy Mountain. However … from Du Wei's words, he had long since learned many things about the Great Snowy Mountain.
Even Hussain knew about it. Back then, when they were exterminating the rebellion of the Northwest Army. He and Rodriguez, two Paladin, combined forces to fight the Northwest Army's commander, Rugaard. However, they only managed to fight to a draw. After that, Hussain also knew that Rugaard's true identity was a member of the Great Snowy Mountain, Crimson Water Duan!
"The Great Snowy Mountain is the place that the people of the grasslands view as a sacred place? There are shamans and shaman kings of the grasslands on the mountain? "Hussain shook his head." Why did the wolf tribe go there? Five thousand wolf riders, are they there to exterminate the Great Snowy Mountain? "
"This, I really don't understand." Du Wei rolled his eyes and smiled bitterly. "To be honest, that Elf King Luo Xue did suffer a loss on the Great Snowy Mountain. He was defeated by the Shaman King of the Great Snowy Mountain. But … with Luo Xue's style, he shouldn't be the type to secretly send troops to exterminate the enemy's home after losing a duel. Besides … Luo Xue knows Bai Hechou's strength. Does he think that five thousand wolf riders … "
At this point, Du-Wei suddenly shut his mouth, and his face suddenly changed!
He suddenly jumped up. "Not good!"
"What?"
"Bai Hechou is not on the Snowy Mountain right now!" Du Wei's face was full of bitterness. "Under the Snowy Mountain, whether it's Old White, Crimson Water Duan, or Lan Haiyue. Even if only one of them is on the mountain, they can definitely protect themselves. But the problem is that these three old monsters are not on the Snowy Mountain right now! The current Shaman King of the Snowy Mountain seems to have become that girl Elu! Elu's talent is not bad and her abilities are not bad. But if five thousand elite wolf riders come to her home, it seems that she alone won't be able to stop them! "
