&Nbsp; seeing that the tribe was ready, Zhao Hai also knew that the time to attack was almost up. He was slightly excited. This was the first time he had seen a battle involving hundreds of thousands of people. How could he not be excited?
Zhao Hai and the others were also preparing. They knew that the day of their revenge was not far away. Just as they were busy in the tent, the tent flap was suddenly lifted and Wells walked in. At the same time, he brought in a gust of cold wind. Although they were wearing thick clothes, Laura and the others couldn’t help but shrink back.
Weyers couldn’t help but laugh when he saw Laura and the others.”Laura, you guys have to get used to this temperature as soon as possible. You should know that the coldest time on the grassland has not yet arrived.”
Laura’s face paled as she shook her head. &Quot; “I’m afraid I can’t get used to it. If it’s the coldest time, I’ll freeze to death.”
Weyers couldn’t help but laugh. He turned to Zhao Hai,”Zhao Hai, follow me. The Grand Elder wants to see you.”
Zhao Hai stared blankly for a moment. He had not expected that the great elder of the herculean divine ox tribe would actually want to see him. The great elder was a powerhouse of the ninth rank, and not just anyone could meet a powerhouse of the ninth rank.
However, Zhao Hai immediately reacted and nodded, ” “Alright, then let’s go quickly. We can’t keep the Grand Elder waiting.” Wales nodded and followed Zhao Hai out.
Although Zhao Hai was physically weak, he was not afraid of the cold. This might be due to the fact that he used to live in northern China. It was cold in winter in northern China, and Zhao Hai had gotten used to the temperature.
The two of them quickly arrived outside Weyers “tent. Weyers did not stand on ceremony. He lifted the curtain and entered the tent. Zhao Hai followed.
Mendus and Yale were both seated in the tent. However, both of them had their heads lowered, looking like obedient children. At the same time, Zhao Hai noticed someone else in the tent.
An old man in plain clothes sat in the tent. The old man was very tall and strong. He sat there like a mountain. Although his eyes were closed, Zhao Hai could feel every movement in the tent.
Once inside the tent, Weyers became cautious. He relaxed his steps and slowly walked to the old man. He said softly,”Elder, Zhao Hai is here.”
Zhao Hai stepped forward and bowed to the old man, ” “Zhao Hai greets the Grand Elder.”
The old man slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Hai carefully. Then, he smiled and said, ” “Get up, young man. I still have to thank you for the medicine you gave me.”
“Elder, you’re too kind. It’s my honor to be able to help,” Zhao Hai replied hurriedly.
The old man smiled at Zhao Hai. &Quot; you and Weyers are sworn brothers, so you’re also a member of the herculean bull clan. I won’t stand on ceremony with you. Young man, remember this. Since you’re a member of the herculean bull clan, you must always remember that the herculean bull clan has its own pride. This pride can not be abandoned even if you die. In order to keep the battle flag of the herculean bull clan from being covered in dust, you must protect it with your life. Can you do that? ”
Zhao Hai was taken aback. He didn’t know why the old man asked this, but he still replied seriously, ” “I can, I can do it,”
The old man nodded and turned to look at Weyers. Weyers bowed to the old man and walked to the side. He picked up a battle flag that he had prepared earlier and placed it in Zhao Hai’s hand.”Zhao Hai, this battle flag is the king’s flag. Only the king’s family can use it. Only the patriarch and the king can use it now. From today on, you are the king of the mighty divine ox.”
Zhao Hai was taken aback. He had not expected Weyers and the others to find him just to give him this royal flag. Not only did it mean that he had gained the approval of the herculean divine ox tribe, but it also meant that he had a clear identity here in the plains-the Prince of the herculean divine ox tribe.
At this special time, this Prince’s Flag represented a kind of responsibility. The vigorous divine ox tribe was about to launch a counterattack. Giving this flag to Zhao Hai at this time represented the vigorous divine ox tribe’s absolute confidence in victory and trust in Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai received the battle flag solemnly and looked at Wells. &Quot; “Don’t worry, big brother. I won’t embarrass the herculean divine ox clan.”
Weyers patted Zhao Hai’s shoulder and said,”Little hai, I originally wanted to give this flag to you after we took back everything, but the great elder felt that it would be too unfair to you. You’ve done so much for our herculean divine ox tribe. It can be said that the reason we were able to counterattack was all thanks to you. This flag should be given to you before the battle so that everyone in the herculean divine ox tribe will remember your contribution. Little hai, you must treasure this flag!”
“Don’t worry, big brother. I’ll love him as much as I love my own life.” Zhao Hai nodded his head seriously.
At this moment, the Supreme elder said, ” alright, little hai. Just remember what you said. We will launch a counterattack after the first snow. You guys should prepare well. &Quot; After saying that, his figure disappeared in a flash.
After deciding on the date of the counterattack, Weyers immediately sent a Messenger to the Mastiff race. Then, they waited in silence.
The weather on the grasslands was constantly changing. However, the beastmen who lived on the grasslands all year round still had their own way of predicting the weather. On the day Zhao Hai received the mighty divine ox tribe’s royal flag, Weyers told Zhao Hai that an elder in the tribe predicted that the first snow on the grasslands would come in ten days. Furthermore, it would be a Blizzard that would not happen in a decade.
Zhao Hai had no idea what this once-in-a-decade Blizzard meant, but he knew that it would cause a lot of trouble for their counterattack. On the other hand, no one would have thought that someone would be marching to war in such weather.
Ten days wasn’t a long time, but to the people waiting, these ten days were as long as ten years. For the sake of this war, the herculean divine ox tribe had gambled everything. Before they set off, all they had to do was sharpen their axes and take care of their mounts. At the same time, Weyers had even imposed a ban on drinking alcohol.
Not allowing beastmen to drink in winter was almost the same as killing them, but this time, no one opposed it. Everyone calmly accepted this order. If they were not allowed to drink, then they could only train. When they felt cold, they would come out of their tents and practice martial arts outside.
It was Zhao Hai’s first time seeing a human-beast hybrid using a beast soul skill. When they used a beast soul skill, a demonic beast’s shadow would suddenly appear on their bodies. Then, the shadow would slowly merge into the person’s body, and his strength would increase greatly. Zhao Hai felt a chill run down his spine when he saw this. It felt like a soul was being possessed, and it gave him a creepy feeling.
To everyone’s disappointment, even though the sky was covered in dark clouds, not a single snowflake fell. This made Weyers and the others even more anxious.
But at this time, the old man who had predicted the weather came to Wells again. He told Wells that the weather had changed. This time, they were not facing a Blizzard that was not seen in ten years, but a Blizzard that was not seen in fifty years. It was best to gather the camps immediately, or the blizzard would collapse all the tents.
Although the old man’s prediction wasn’t accurate, the dark clouds in the sky had explained everything. Weyers decided to believe the old man. He had everyone gather the tents and then fixed them. He had even built a few more tents and had everyone drive their mounts into the tents.
The old man’s prediction wasn’t wrong. While Weyers and the others were still reinforcing the tent, large snowflakes fell down like knives under the strong wind.
Fortunately, the people of the herculean divine ox tribe were all known for their strength. They had mobilized all their manpower and braved the wind and snow to finally reinforce the tents. At the same time, they had gathered all the tents together so that they could keep warm.
Of course, Weyers and Zhao Hai’s tents were in the middle of the camp. This way, they wouldn’t be directly ravaged by the cold wind. Instead, they were warmer than before.
When the blizzard really came, Zhao Hai, Laura and the rest finally understood what it meant to be a Blizzard that wouldn’t happen in 50 years. The blizzard was so fierce that it lasted for 10 days, day and night. The herculean divine ox tribesmen had no choice but to send people out time and time again to clear the snow on their tents. Everyone who came out of their tents had to tie a rope around their waists. Otherwise, they might be swept away by the storm. Once they were swept away by the storm, the only outcome would be death.
Laura and the others looked at the busy orcs and suddenly sighed. &Quot; “In the face of such a Blizzard, human strength is truly too weak.”
That’s right, in the face of such a Blizzard, human strength was really too weak. Even the herculean divine ox clan, which was famous for their strength, had no choice but to bow their heads to the force of nature. The power of nature was really great.
Ten days later, the sky finally cleared up and the sun came out. Although it was still very cold on the plains, the frightening Blizzard had finally stopped. The entire camp could not help but cheer.
Laura and the others couldn’t help but cheer. This was a battle between man and nature. Fortunately, the final Victor was man. However, they had also paid a price. When the final statistics were tallied, it was found that 123 people of the herculean bull tribe had been frozen to death in this Blizzard. Such a loss was nothing to a large tribe of more than 500000 people, but it was still very sad.
Although the blizzard had stopped, Weyers and the others couldn’t attack immediately because their camp was surrounded by mines. The snow in some places was even taller than their tents. They had to clear the snow before they could set off.
However, the people in the camp had an unprecedented enthusiasm. The snow was quickly cleared out. Although not all of it was cleared, it could be cleared by the people, and that was enough.
