With the arrival of the new year, it would also be tiovernether

Winter hunts were also common in other countries in Eich The cold winters ressive and attack humans more often The cold weather also meant that nobles couldn’t enjoy other types of entertainht of the idea of winter hunts in their boredom

The nobles would ride their tall horses and bring along retinues of fully ar and ho off the beasts’ heads to parade with as trophies, and decorating their rooh, those pitiful animals met such a terrible end just because they wanted to find some food for their children Hu to narrate forto kick you back to Sleuweir! Also, our winter hunts are completely different froical beasts here pitiful at all? They’re all carnivores ill eat humans!”

I felt rather helpless now While it was indeed good that Glina was more human than the porcelain doll she’d been before as her previous eical trau, she was now sometimes a little too lively Even I was unable to take how she loved to spout rubbish with such a serious expression I was even beginning to pity Sleuweir’s governreatly under the rule of such a queen

Upon hearingqueen expressionlessly slapped the butt of the gigantic ic puppet she rode on Another adamantite puppet came out from somewhere unknown (the previous one had died due to its accidental self-destruction) and loudly ruo hunt down the pitiful beasts she spoke of

Naturally, Glina’s retainers couldn’t allow her to go by herself Several dozen knights hurriedly rushed out of the procession and followed her The wry s since used to this, or perhaps they even enjoyed it? Since the delight and respect they showed seeenuine, I felt that they actually enjoyed this

“Winter hunt? Such a round The horses’ hooves round All exhaled breath instantly became visible white round see but endless ice tundra and snow e winter hunt procession contained several thousand people, we still seenificant in coht at dawn Most of us were knights with steeds The scouts had set out with the hunting hounds long before us The aerial knights would likely bring us information on the beast packs’ locations soon

Winter hunts in the Northlands were completely different from winter hunts in the mainland Others did winter hunts for entertainment, while our winter hunts were for the sake of survival…

The Northlands’ environment was incredibly harsh to live in The harsh environment wasn’t only harsh for huical beasts As long as the snowfall sealed the mountains, and the beasts were unable to find any more food on the mountains, they would naturally leave the e nu in the Northlands’ environ siical beasts Under the command of a pack leader, the wild beasts could even fore or town

Countless villages had been destroyed over the past several decades and centuries by wild beast stampedes In a way, it could even be said that the Northlands beasts had a tradition of co out to attack humans whenever they couldn’t find any food to eat in winter Naturally, this also created a tradition for the Northlanders: inter arrived, a winter hunt would always be organized in order to decrease the threat as much as possible before it arrived

Attack the wild beasts before they gathered enough nuical beast pack leaders as athered beasts to scatter This would reduce, and even potentially eliminate, the threat of beast stampedes

History and tradition had both proved that thisfor the beast sta would only allow the beast staather unstoppable nuathered together, it would be possible to h-level creatures It was already recorded in history that such a beast sta any Northlands city

The majority of countries in the Northlands thus had a tradition of a winter hunt However, e the wild beasts or a beast stampede The sly and vicious beasts would be difficult to handle even for a fully arh would be volunteering themselves as a free meal to the beasts In fact, the East Mist Co while This was a decision that had been made in helplessness

Back in those years, the people of East Mist had gotten accusto their entire families over to major cities like Diffindor when it inter They would then hide in wooden shacks while tre as they listened to the beasts’ roars outside They could only pray that the beast stampedes would end soon, and that their hoed too badly

It was already lucky for those whocities for protection Every year, countless citizens would be attacked and killed by the beast stahts’s numbers were coht years ago, e returned here, we started reorganizing the winter hunts Not only was this to eliminate the beasts and obtain ive theain

Over the past eight years, East Mist and the entire Mist Alliance had been rising in power on a daily basis East Mist’s ht’ve even reached the top of the entire Northlands There was naturally no more reason to stop the winter hunts

And as the winter hunts went on, the scale of the beast stampedes was reduced every year This nificantly less pressure If it was possible again to stop the threat of beast staer have to risk their lives on dangerous journeys to big cities every year
