The battle between the humans and the Gnolls had reached its climax. In order to survive, all the mercenaries, guards, and refugees were doing their best.
A Gnoll had just smashed a human mercenary to death with its mace. Before it could retrieve its weapon, a spear pierced its throat, and smelly blood gushed out. Before he could pull out his spear, a mace had already smashed his head into pieces.
Under the continuous impact of the carts, a gap was finally created. The Gnolls swarmed forward, wanting to rush in and kill the humans around them. The captain of the guards immediately led his men to block the Gnolls. For a time, the humans and Gnolls fought fiercely in this narrow passage.
Because of the narrow space, the Gnolls' heavy mace could not be used at all. Instead, they were killed by the humans. However, this situation only lasted for a few minutes. The gap in the carts grew bigger and bigger, and the humans' resistance became weaker and weaker.
The sounds of fighting on the battlefield spread far and wide. The animals in the wilderness had long fled the area in fear. The thick smell of blood covered the battlefield. Johnson finally arrived at the edge of the battlefield with the Barbarian warriors. Their arrival did not attract the attention of the Gnolls.
The fierce battle had caused the Gnolls to ignore their surroundings. Johnson suddenly attacked from behind with more than 20 Barbarian warriors. These Barbarians were wearing iron armor and wielded sharp giant axes in their hands. The Gnolls did not expect the enemy to appear from behind.
By the time they wanted to turn around and face the enemy, it was already too late. After activating Charge and Whirlwind Slash, the Barbarians had become efficient killing machines. All the monsters in their way were crushed by the sharp giant axes.
These Barbarians were at least Barbarian Warrior level. They were very powerful. The sharp giant axes they wielded were like chopping vegetables. The giant axes swept across, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. They were even able to cut the Gnolls' mace in half.
The blades of the axes tore through flesh and bones. Colorful organs scattered on the ground, and then were stepped into the mud by the boots of the Gnolls. The 20 Barbarian warriors were like 20 sharp blades, tearing the entire battlefield into countless small pieces. The Jackalan army suffered heavy losses in a short period of time.
The mercenaries, who were struggling to resist, suddenly felt the pressure on them lessen. The Gnolls, who were originally surrounding the carts, turned around and rushed towards the barbarians. But this time, they obviously kicked an iron plate. Anger and brutality could not make them strong. When they saw their companions being cut down like wheat, death and fear once again took over.
Facing the Barbarian warriors on the side of the Killing God, the morale of the Gnolls collapsed. They scattered in all directions, trying to escape. The humans, who were originally prepared to fight to the death, saw that the Gnolls were defeated. Their morale soared, and they rushed out of the carts to chase after the Gnolls. It was just that they were already exhausted and had no strength to chase after him after relaxing just now.
The barbarian warriors stopped after completely defeating the Gnolls. Their mission was to rescue the caravan, not to kill the Gnolls.
After the caravan people cleaned up the battlefield, the caravan set off again. Johnson was by their side as a guard. The mercenaries and guards were very respectful towards the 20 Barbarian warriors. They had seen with their own eyes how powerful these Barbarian warriors were.
When the refugees found out that these Barbarian warriors were from the Northern Castle, they were even more curious about it. With such powerful warriors, it must be very safe.
.....
Northern Castle in the endless wasteland.
The first thing that appeared on the ground was a black 'dragon'. The guards and mercenaries who had been here before screamed excitedly. This journey was very unforgettable for them. Many people had disappeared in this distance. At the same time, they also needed a safe place to rest and recover.
The attitude of the guards and mercenaries made the refugees sigh in relief. In order to survive, they dragged their families and risked their lives to cross the 300-mile wasteland. Now, they were finally at the end.
Kahn was lucky that he didn't die in the last battle. Instead, he killed 2 Gnolls with the mercenaries, which improved his relationship with the guards a lot.
The refreshing wind blew across the wasteland, and the black line in the distance became more and more obvious. Soon, they found a neat gravel road under their feet. The road snaked all the way to the town in the distance. Large tracts of farmland began to appear. At this point, they could finally clearly see the 'long dragon' crawling on the ground.
It was a majestic building that looked like a viaduct. One side was connected to the river, and the other side was connected to the town. On the river, there were 4 giant things that looked like wheels. Everything in front of them was very shocking to the refugees who had lived in the northern provinces since they were young.
The vision of the civilians in this world was very limited. Many of them had never been more than 30 kilometers away from a village in their entire lives. When they saw such a majestic building in front of them, they were all shocked.
The Northguard Fortress appeared on top of the mound. It wasn't a big place, but the environment was astonishing. Thousands of goblins, houndhead men, and gnolls were working under the whips of the overseers outside the fortress. The invincible aura they exuded fascinated the refugees.
The closer they got to the Northguard Castle, the more shocked they felt. Those ferocious gnolls, goblins, and kobolds were as small as dust under their feet.
"We'll be there soon."
After fighting together, the guards of the caravan had become a lot more familiar with Kahn. They looked at this rough-looking man and said with a smile, "When you get to the town, someone will make arrangements for you. As long as you work hard in the Northguard Castle, you will have enough to eat. If you work hard for a few years, you can buy farmland and a house. The Suhlen Monseigneur is a powerful and benevolent noble. You don't have to worry about your safety here.
"However, you have to be careful. There are a lot of rules here. You must follow them seriously, or you will be punished severely."
"Brother, what are the rules here? Can you tell me about them?" Kahn said worriedly.
"It's nothing, actually. The lord here is a little obsessed with cleanliness. He says that everyone has to pay attention to hygiene, bathe frequently, and don't litter or pee anywhere. Otherwise, if you get caught by the security, the lightest punishment would be cleaning the toilets and the streets," the guard said after some hesitation. The guard hesitated for a moment before replying. Furthermore, when he mentioned cleaning the toilets and sweeping the streets, his eyes flickered a few times as if he still had a lingering fear.
"Of course, apart from these strict rules, this place is actually quite nice. As long as you work for the lord, you can eat two free meals a day. There is even fish meat inside."
