Chapter 93: White Frost Cult
As the enemy's consciousness was blurred by the attack of the White Wolf incarnation, Rhodes rode on the Snow Field Horse and jumped up from the back of the clearing.

"Clean up the scene and eliminate the enemy."

The White Wolf incarnation was put back into the ring, and Rhodes waved his hand to give orders.

At the same time, he thrust the icy blade of his sword into the werewolf woman's chest.

This monster's strength has reached the first level, which is very strange.

But that was all he could do. He was unable to resist the mental attack from the White Wolf's roar and could only watch himself being pierced.

The cavalrymen who came with him followed behind him, waving their swords, and rushed into the group of barbarian villagers in the blink of an eye.

The situation here made the cavalrymen look angry. There was no need to hold back when facing a man-eating monster.

When they saw the cavalry coming, the villagers were not afraid at all.

Instead, he pounced forward with red eyes and attacked like a wild beast.

Rhodes looked around and confirmed that there was no serious problem.

For unknown reasons, the physical fitness of these villagers is exceptionally strong, not inferior to that of ordinary soldiers.

But when they gathered here, they had no weapons in their hands and no armor on them, and they could not resist the cavalry's attack with their mortal bodies alone.

After twenty minutes of repeated charges by the cavalry, the situation calmed down.

Except for a few who were left alive and tied up, the rest were beheaded on the spot without exception.

"It looks like this is the aftereffect of the cold wave."

Rhodes frowned and squatted in front of one of the prisoners, observing his condition.

Even though he was seriously injured and tied up tightly with ropes, he still bared his teeth and kept growling at Rhodes.

He was also mentally confused and his speech was intermittent.

The men took Baron Jeff down from the wooden frame and brought him in front of him.

Rhodes took a look at the baron's condition and shook his head regretfully: "He is dead."

The huge wound on his arm caused him to lose a lot of blood.

The only thing to be thankful for was that before he died, he saw Rhodes rushing over with a smile of relief on his face.

After cleaning up the scene, Rhodes asked his men to search the surroundings.

But all I saw was an empty old village and nothing was found.

Anything that can be chewed here has long been cooked in the pot, and even the clean rats in the warehouse don't want to come in.

After a round of searching without any results, Rhodes reluctantly led his men back.

a few days later.

Rhodes received an invitation to a party from the Knights of the Round Table.

The sender was Knight Kelvin, one of the twelve seats of the Round Table Council, from the Duke Dewitt family of the Golden Sword Territory.

As one of the Twelve Lords, the Knight Kelvin's territory is located in the Hanshui River Basin.

The strongest one in this area.

Not only Rhodes was invited, but most of the pioneering knights near the Hanshui River were on the list.

The purpose is very clear, to gather everyone to discuss the problem of interrupted material transportation.

Due to the chaos in the northern part of the principality, the supplies of these pioneering knights and the Dragon Breaking Fortress were once again cut off.

Instead of just standing there anxiously in your own territory, why not get together as a group and discuss a solution?

When Rhodes arrived at the other party's territory castle, it was very lively.

Hundreds of pioneer knights walked around, greeted each other warmly, and tried to get close to each other based on family relationships.

The scene may seem chaotic, but if you look closely you will find clear circles.

It’s mainly those with similar territories who stick together.

Rhodes was no exception and came to the circle where his alliance was.

In addition to Charlie, Byrne and other five Knights of the Round Table, there were more than twenty ordinary pioneer knights who raised their glasses to welcome his arrival.

Charlie savoured the red wine in his hand.

He glanced at the dazzling array of delicacies in the banquet hall and said in a sour tone:
"Kelvin is such a rich guy, he actually has extra food to hold a banquet at a time like this. The treatment of the twelve guests is really different."

Obviously, they are all extreme knights, and Charlie is confident that his strength is not inferior to Kelvin.

As a result, the family support the two received was completely different levels.

One eats coarse food, while the other eats meat and fish. The difference makes Charlie very unhappy.

Byrne beside him laughed and said comfortingly:

"In the current predicament, it is not a bad thing to have a strong leader. Since he has chosen to take the lead, we will just watch from behind."

Rhodes came over to the two men, picked up his glasses and clinked them.

During the chat, the host of the banquet came out.

Knight Kelvin stood in front of everyone and said with a smile:

"Thank you all for coming from afar. I have asked the chef to prepare a grand swan banquet. I hope you enjoy it."

He clapped his hands, and servants came out from the door carrying huge plates of food.

On top is a whole roasted swan, and the inside is stuffed with various foods such as corn and potatoes.

Listening to the constant admiration and exclamations coming to his ears, Kelvin chuckled.

He knew that few of these people would be truly grateful, and most would be slandering him in their hearts.

Instead of showing off, why not sell the food to them? What a waste! But Kelvin didn't care. He needed to show that he had abundant supplies so that the plan of integrating forces could proceed smoothly.

Even though everyone has been hungry lately, the nobles have not lost their elegance.

After shoveling a few mouthfuls into his mouth, he stopped paying attention to the food.

Everyone's eyes were on Kelvin.

No one forgot the purpose of this gathering - to solve the problem of supply shortage.

"What happened in the northern part of the Principality? Why did all those transport convoys lose contact?"

Someone asked the biggest question.

Although they knew that famine was spreading in the area, it would at most give rise to a group of bandits and refugees.

They were all knights who had experienced war, and no one would take refugees seriously.

Even if there were thousands of them gathered together, what would happen? A few dozen cavalrymen could easily defeat them.

How is it possible to cut off the entire material transportation line?
In response to their doubts, Kelvin took out a pure white crystal and placed it on the table.

"The church's photo crystal?" Charlie was puzzled.

Rhodes looked at the white crystal curiously.

It is a specialty of the Papal States south of the Kingdom of Rosa.

It was made by local priests using a special mineral called light crystal.

Being able to record everything that happens around you in a short period of time and replay it is invaluable.

This thing is not the point, the point is the picture it projects.

As white light shone out from it, a projection screen appeared above everyone's heads.

"As expected, it's because of those monsters." Rhodes narrowed his eyes.

In the picture, he saw a group of naked people from the kingdom, both men and women, numbering thousands.

In the ice and snow, they were gathered together like livestock and fell to their knees in fear.

Surrounding them were barbarians holding whips and machetes.

In the following scenes, people from the kingdom were constantly being tortured and humiliated.

It's accompanied by violence and sex, and ends with appetite.

In this process, many thin barbarians became strong.

Some barbarians even mutated on the spot, changing from humans into humans with wolf heads, or humans with tiger heads, and roared towards the sky.

The crystal image ended, and the faces of the surrounding pioneer knights were extremely ugly.

Many of them vomited on the spot and their faces turned pale.

After everyone recovered, Kelvin began to explain:

"This is a cult that emerged in the northern part of the Northern Frost Principality. It is called the White Frost Cult. It is they who blocked our transportation of supplies."

The pioneer knights present gradually understood the situation.

Although the cold wave has passed, the impact it brought has already profoundly changed this land.

As the famine continued to worsen, a special cult developed among the people here, calling themselves the White Frost Sect.

The White Frost Cult promotes the cold wave as a miracle from the Lord of Winter.

It was the shameful people of the kingdom who entered the northern border and angered the gods, who brought down divine punishment.

A large number of barbarian residents in the northern part of the principality were brainwashed and joined in.

They regard the residents of the kingdom around them as food, and continue to strengthen themselves in the process of eating. Those orcs are even comparable to knights.

With the manifestation of this miracle, the White Frost Cult continued to grow stronger in this area.

The northern territories fell one after another, either join in or be eaten up.

The White Frost Cult spread too quickly. According to Kelvin's description, a month later, the number of members in Hanshui County behind them alone was said to have exceeded 10,000.

"This speed of spread must be due to preparation. It is definitely not just an ordinary cult that suddenly appeared. There are already traitors who believe in the evil god in the northern part of the Principality!"

A pioneer knight cursed angrily.

As citizens of the kingdom, they believed in the Heavenly Father of the church. Although it had nothing to do with piety, their attitude against evil gods was always unified.

Not to mention the horrific cannibalism in the scene.

Coupled with the natural contempt for the barbarians, all new and old hatreds were combined together, and everyone was united in their hatred of the enemy.

I wish I could go out right now and beat those beasts to pieces.

Kelvin was pleased with their attitude, which was exactly the reaction he wanted.

Even if he is one of the Twelve Chief Ministers, the support from his family has its limits.

The experiences during this period made him realize the power of working together, and that simply developing a few territories nearby was not enough.

He wants to integrate all the pioneering knights in the Hanshui River Basin and become the leader of this area!

This is difficult, as the forces in this area have already formed alliances and built their own interest groups.

No one wants to have a boss appear above their heads and tell them what to do.

To this end, he spared no expense in hosting banquets to demonstrate his abundant supplies and tell outsiders the benefits of joining him.

More importantly, use hatred and pressure from external enemies to push people to stick together.

"In order to solve the problem of supply shortage, I propose that everyone present unite."
