Chapter 175: Kasa's Ambition

Storm Peaks, temporary camp of frost giants.

This was originally a lush forest, but the frost giants cut down all the trees, and the howling cold wind brought heavy snow.

A crude tent made of land dragon bones and furs was built on the snow, and next to it were piles of spoils looted from nearby, including food, furs, armor, weapons, etc.

The Frost Giant priests in the tribe would pray to the gods and cast ancient spells to create frozen lands, which not only created a comfortable environment for the Frost Giants, but also blocked the invasion of foreign enemies.

The frost giants would use these frozen lands as their bases to attack all nearby social communities and carry out large-scale plunder.

Kasa stood on the top of the slope, leaning on a double-edged axe, looking down at Baya, who was covered in scars.

"Baya, where are all your people?"

"Also, why didn't you bring back any spoils? Why did you return empty-handed?"

Baya lowered his head, gritted his teeth and said: "Chief, we have encountered a tough nut to crack. There is..."

He hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to tell the truth.

"A full twenty-six soldiers died heroically in battle."

When Baya said this, his expression was ferocious, and he immediately added.

"But don't worry, I will avenge them and destroy the fortress. Fifty. As long as you give me another fifty warriors, I promise--"

Kasa frowned, looked at Baya angrily, and interrupted him rudely:

"Twenty-six tribesmen? You actually lost so many people for a mere fortress? You have to know that sixty years ago, your father destroyed the entire city of Nitri and looted the treasures accumulated by the city for hundreds of years, but only eleven tribesmen were killed or injured!"

Baya defended in a low voice: "That is definitely not an ordinary fortress. There is a real dragon behind them."

Kasa interrupted him again coldly, not giving him any chance to explain: "The most important quality of a mature captain is patience. You obviously can't do that. Give your position to Tema."

"I don't want to see this kind of reckless behavior happen to you again."

"Yes, patriarch."

Baya originally wanted to argue, but when he saw Kasa's eyes that refused to accept, he swallowed his anger.

Kasa gave a wink, and Tema behind Baya took a step forward in surprise. The chief painted two scratches on his forehead with red paint - that was the mark of the leader of the Frost Giant army, used to distinguish them during war.

Kasa returned to the tent, where there was a huge cowhide map covered with rough markings.

There were several frost giant priests sitting nearby, most of them were strong and healthy, while the old and disabled Elder Nur chose to stay on the Wahala Glacier with a group of old and weak people.

"Will, can you feel the exact location of the Horn of Everfrost now?"

The young frost giant priest nodded slightly.

"Chief, we can't be completely sure, but we can make a rough guess based on the range."

He pointed to the old map and used his stick to mark an area on the map just south of Storm Peaks.

"However, according to the map of the previous clan leader, there is only one human city within this area - Beifeng Fort."

"good very good."

"Capture this city, take back the Horn of Everfrost, and the glory of our ancestors will be restored in our hands."

When Kasa heard the priest's affirmative answer, his eyes suddenly lit up.

But he seemed to have thought of something, frowned slightly, and asked another question. "According to your understanding, is there a dragon on this Storm High Slope?"

The Yongshuang Tribe is blocked from the south by the towering Korkha Mountains. Every trip back and forth takes a lot of time and energy, so they know almost nothing about the recent situation in the south and are limited to the information left by their ancestors.

The priest answered truthfully: "There is no such record."

"But Chief, please forgive me for being blunt. Our intelligence is from sixty years ago. For these weak mortals, sixty years is the reincarnation of several generations. Compared to before, the situation in the North may have changed dramatically."

"So that's what it is?"

Kasa rubbed his chin and narrowed his eyes slightly.

But soon, his eyes were filled with ambition again: "No matter how those tiny humans change, they will eventually be destroyed by our great giant race."

"And a dragon that was not heard from sixty years ago and was at most a young dragon? It is also not worth mentioning. It will only make my record more glorious and add another dragon-slaying feat."

"When we regain the Horn of Everfrost, I will turn the entire North into a frozen land and let the Frost Giants rule the territory that our ancestors once occupied!"

"Under the might of Eternal Frost, all resistance is so vulnerable."

North Wind Fort, Council Hall.

Cassius sat on the throne, browsing the latest information presented by his subordinates.

"They have reached the Rock Fortress? They are really quick."

Delena replied sternly, "The Frost Giants are well-known in the North for their rapid marches. They often form teams of dozens of giants, come with the cold wind, and quickly sweep through the area. Their marching speed far exceeds any human army in the history of the North."

"Currently, Batto City and Sger Town have both been attacked by small-scale frost giants, but fortunately neither caused too much damage. The Rock Fortress encountered the main force of the frost giants, but it still held on."

"According to the intelligence from the Red Scale Patrol, they seem to have given up on sweeping Storm Peak and are preparing to gather their forces and march south with all their might. Their target is most likely the Everfrost Horn.

"After research at the Tower of the Great Wisdom, Lord Rump suspected that the rune power of the horn could resonate with the blood of the frost giants and provide an effect similar to the location spell, but the level of this magical effect is too high, and he has no way to eliminate it for the time being."

Cassius climbed up from the throne, shook his body, and slowly stretched his wings.

"No need to eliminate them. Their full-scale march south is exactly what I want. I don't like the feeling of having to put out fires everywhere and losing the initiative."

"But this farce should end here."

"Notify all troops in the kingdom to stop the frost giants north of Trier's Mouthpiece. If they continue to run wild, I'm afraid they will disrupt normal production in the south."

"The era of the Giant Empire has long ended. These guys who gnawed at the heritage of our ancestors should have rolled back to their graves long ago."

Delena hesitated for a moment, then added:

"Master, there is one more thing."

"The Principality of Bosk sent a special envoy to help the Burning Kingdom resist the frost disaster. Please see..."

Kasius suddenly became interested.

"Oh, there is such a thing?"

"Please invite this 'warm-hearted' envoy in immediately. I want to see what the old lion is up to."

There was a hint of playfulness in the red dragon's golden vertical pupils.
