Chapter 92 Abnormal Situation
The wolf-shaped dragon servant's head flew up and his body fell weakly to the ground.

Compared to the big guy encountered in the village, it is much faster, but also much more fragile.

Faced with Rhodes' full-strength attack aimed at his vital points, his skin's defense was insufficient and he died on the spot.

Rhodes put down the black sword and stood beside its corpse to collect the spoils.

A total of 40 units of mottled divinity.

Looking at the pure white in his hand with a hint of golden light, he chose to absorb it directly.

The divine power flowed back to the body along the soul, activating the blood power in Rhodes' body.

In reality, the rumbling sound of heartbeats could be heard in the house, and the frequency instantly doubled.

With a constant supply of blood and energy, muscles constantly undergo the repeated process of tearing and regrowing, becoming stronger and more powerful in the process.

This process will continue for some time, and by tomorrow morning, I will be able to become an elite knight.

Rhodes understood this and then looked at another trophy.

[Name: Thrust Sword Skill]

[Quality: First-class excellence]

[Effect: Concentrate strength on the legs and launch a long-distance thrust forward, which can cause powerful thrust damage.]

A spiritual inheritance similar to the rotating sword technique, and this time it is quite suitable for me.

The good harvest made Rhodes happy.

Unlike the knight skills in the kingdom that rely purely on physical strength, the Dragon Servant's inheritance belongs to the magic sword skills.

The spinning sword technique is to concentrate the magic power in the wrist, and the stabbing sword technique is to concentrate the magic power in the legs.

This unleashes a powerful force far beyond that of ordinary people, which is far beyond the reach of ordinary knights' skills.

The disadvantage is that it is difficult to get started and if it is not well controlled, it is easy to leave serious hidden injuries in the body.

It is much more convenient to learn using spiritual heritage.

Rhodes swallowed the thrusting sword technique into his soul, and the complete key points of the technique emerged in his mind.

At the same time his body changed, and muscle memory of thrusting appeared in his legs.

After digesting this spiritual inheritance, Rhodes continued to move forward, hunting the dragon servants on the road.

Another night passed.

As the sun rose, Rhodes returned to reality from the afterimage of the northern border.

After washing up, leave the room.

It has been more than a month since the cold wave receded.

During this period, Rhodes still stayed in Hekou Town to deal with the problems there.

According to the letter from the fortress, the first wave of food from the Great Plains of the Kingdom has arrived.

But it could only barely put out the fire and could not solve the food problem in the fortress.

This can be seen from the price of food, which is still more than five times the previous level and is still slowly rising.

No one knows when the next cold wave will arrive.

In order to protect themselves, stockpiling food has become a consensus among the nobles of the principality.

Under this general environment, Broken Dragon Fortress has not yet opened any channels for selling grain to the outside world.

Pioneering knights like Rhodes could only rely on their own special channels to transport some food back to their territories on a small scale.

It is still okay for those territories that have surplus food, but some knights who failed to store food in advance are already begging for food from everyone.

No matter what, with the support of the families behind them, these pioneering knights will always be able to hold on for a while longer.

The real disaster is in the northern territories of the principality.

In Hanshui County where Rhode was located, more than 50,000 people were affected by the disaster in all the territories.

A large-scale famine is breaking out in this area. It is not only a natural disaster but also a man-made disaster.

The local nobles forcibly plundered the food of the resident serfs, leaving them to fend for themselves.

Hunger caused the land to breed large numbers of mercenaries and bandit gangs who plundered food everywhere, further aggravating the severity of the famine.

Not only that, these bandits would also attack passing caravans.

During this period, what bothered Rhodes the most was the attacks on the caravans.

He didn't need to worry about such things before.

Merchants who can run caravans in the Northern Frost Principality all have powerful backers.

This ensures that the caravan is always full of martial virtue and is always equipped with a guard team of more than fifty people.

Long-term training enabled them to easily deal with hundreds of bandits, let alone hungry serfs.

But in recent days, the situation has taken a turn for the worse.

Many caravans suddenly lost contact, and the trade route that Hekou Town had finally restored became deserted again.

"It looks like there's a new problem." Rhodes realized this.

Unfortunately, information transmission in this era is too backward, and it is impossible to understand the specific situation in a short period of time.

Until a raven that was on patrol suddenly came back and made a cawing sound at him.

"You mean a caravan heading to Hekou Town was besieged in Baron Jeff's territory?"

Rhode stroked the raven's feathers and understood what it wanted to convey. His neighbor also engaged in robbery?

It doesn't seem right, not from the way Raven expressed it.

Rhodes did not hesitate and summoned fifty cavalrymen from the Royal Guard Battalion.

Then he rode on his snowy horse and took the fifty fully armed cavalrymen with him and quickly headed for the scene of the incident.

After more than two months of cavalry training, these soldiers assigned to the Royal Guard Battalion have mastered the essentials of horse riding.

Under his leadership, the group covered a distance of thirty kilometers.

In less than an hour, they arrived at the spot where the raven had found it.

It’s a pity that it’s still a little late.

When Rhodes arrived, there were only five dilapidated carriages left on the road.

The wooden body looked as if it had been torn apart by some ferocious beast, leaving irregular fractures.

Apart from the bloodstains on the ground, there was no one at the scene.

Rhodes turned his gaze to the raven's perspective, looking down at the ground from the sky.

He found obvious traces of blood on the ground.

Those were the traces left along the way by the attackers as they dragged away the bodies of the caravan members.

Following the blood trail, Rod arrived at Baron Jeff's village.

He didn't rush in, but let the raven investigate the situation inside first.

At the same time, in the open space in the center of the village.

A huge stone pot half a person's height was set up.

Under the high temperature of the burning flame, the boiling water in the stone pot continuously emits hot bubbles.

Above is Baron Jeff hanging from a wooden frame.

At this moment he had lost half of his arm and was dying.

The rising heat touches the skin, bringing a burning pain.

Baron Jeff opened his eyes with difficulty and saw in pain the boy and girl who were also hung beside him.

These were his son and daughter, who were less than seven years old. Before he left, they kissed his forehead and asked their father to come back early.

It’s a pity that he has stopped breathing now.

A sarcastic smile appeared on Baron Jeff's face.

Just two days ago, he had finally collected enough food and was preparing to distribute it to his subjects when he returned to his territory.

What he saw instead was a scene that nearly drove him crazy.

The village was littered with leftover bones.

Those are the residents here!

They were all people from the kingdom in the village, but the ones who did such a thing were actually another group of residents, the barbarians!
What was even more difficult for him to accept was that the leader was actually his barbarian wife!
After seeing the inhumane scene, Baron Jeff and his accompanying soldiers swung their swords in rage.

But he was easily defeated by this bunch of crazy barbarians, and his wife showed the power of a knight.

At that time, Baron Jeff could not understand why these ordinary villagers suddenly became stronger than the soldiers.

Now he understands.

He looked down and saw the group of barbarians gathered around the stone pot.

They were gnawing on the flesh in their hands with obsessed eyes.

During this process, muscles grew on the bodies of these barbarians at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His wife's body swelled up, and her head turned into the shape of a giant wolf, turning into a standing beast!

They actually get stronger while eating.

"You bunch of beasts, did you attack the caravan?" Baron Jeff noticed the clothes on the corpses and recognized their identities.

He opened his cracked lips and suddenly laughed heartily.

"Ha! You are finished. The nearby is the River Mouth Town, the territory of that Rhodes Knight. He will not let you go! Damn monster! Brutal barbarians! All of you just wait to go to hell!"

The woman who turned into a werewolf, Baron Jeff's wife, raised her head and glared at her husband with bloodthirsty eyes.

She glanced at the two children above with hatred in her eyes.

"Damned invaders! It was you, the untouchables of the kingdom, who angered the Supreme Lord of Winter! Now my Lord has brought down divine punishment, and the White Frost Doomsday will wash away all the filth on the earth!"

The werewolf woman roared fanatically, and the other barbarians around her all knelt on the ground, raised their arms devoutly, and prayed loudly.

"Hoarfrost Doom! Purify the filth!"

The werewolf woman laughed: "Jeff! You are the first sacrifice, but you won't be the last! I will eat those damn pioneer knights one by one!"

"Especially the bastard who tainted the blood of the North in your mouth! I will tear off his muscles one by one and eat his body while he begs for mercy in fear!"

"Oh, great Lord of Winter, you finally turn your gaze to your pious people once again!"

Faintly, the werewolf woman seemed to see a huge white wolf roaring in the air and rushing towards her.

This was the approval of the gods! It was proof that the Lord of Winter was watching her!

She was so convinced that the smile on her face became more and more fanatical.

Until the white wolf incarnation bit her head and a loud roar like a bell rang in her ears!
