Late at night, snow fell.
The cold wind howling from the Odin Ice Field swept through everything wildly, and fist-sized snow flakes that were almost frozen into snowballs fell from the sky, making a thick layer of snow rattle.
A faint red light shines through the edge of the thick dark clouds high in the sky.
Every time this strange light appeared, the people of the Western Continent knew that the real midwinter was coming, and the most difficult three months of the twelve months of the year were coming.
It is said that this layer of red light in the sky is the blood and fire inspired by the battle between the evil gods worshiped by Odin Ice Fields and the gods believed in by the people of the mainland, which is why the sky is dyed this color.
In the northwest corner of the southern business district of Berelli City, less than two miles from the university town of Berelli, a small tavern is brightly lit and bustling with nightlife.
The door of the tavern is not large, so it can only accommodate two or three people side by side.
In front of the door hung a signboard, a beautiful woman leaning against a huge rusty sword.
The signboard made of black ironwood was blown by the cold wind, and occasionally crashed against the wall with a dull sound.
This is the Sword and Beauty Tavern, a favorite pastime for students at the Army Academy in Berelli.
Entering through the door of the tavern, and walking through a narrow alley, there is a small square that can accommodate about a dozen two-bridled carriages.
A row of small two-story buildings stands on the north side, with the second floor being the inn and the first floor being the tavern.
The owner of the tavern, Dajian Qiao, a middle-aged man whose left side of his face muscle was slashed by a sword, and half of his face was almost indistinguishable from a skeleton, was a veteran who had struggled from the dead man's mill in the Land Island War thirty years ago.
This tavern was his ancestral business, and after he took over this tavern from his father, with the help of his connections in the army, the tavern became a stronghold for these students of the Army Academy, and business improved day by day.
Behind the small bar, the big sword Qiao was holding a heavy sword and slashing the orc's big hand frantically, squeezing a rag, trying to wipe a huge wine glass.
A few maids with only middle-to-lower appearances, but extremely hot bodies, stood behind the bar, laughing wildly, and laughing with the dozen or so disheveled Army Academy students crowded in front of the bar.
Although it was already late at night, these students did not care about the military regulations and military laws of the Army Academy, and they were drunk and had fun here.
Many of them were members of the Knights of the Round Table, and their Knights' leader, Dark Horsehouse, was sitting in the tavern at the moment, so they didn't care about military discipline or anything like that.
The corner of the tavern was very quiet, the tall and powerful Black Horse House sat at a round table, and there were several backbones of the Knights of the Round Table sitting beside him, and Charlie the Rabbit, who was known for his timidity and fear of death, also sat at the round table, but it was obvious that Charlie the Rabbit was not of high status, and no one would give him a second glance.
Dark Horse House gulped down the hot liquor, the alcohol causing his blood to rush wildly in his veins, and his eyes were a little red.
Born in a family of viscounts with outstanding military achievements, and his father is a famous general in the military department, Dark Horse Haus is very proud at the moment.
Tonight, just tonight, he must crush the Brotherhood of Iron Fist, who has been right to him for three years, in one fell swoop.
Three years ago, the Knights of the Round Table was the largest student group in the University Town of Berelli, and all students in the University Town of Berelli were overshadowed by the Knights of the Round Table.
At that time, just extorting from those timid and cowardly students who were born as rich landowners, Dark Horse House had a net income of nearly a hundred gold coins every month.
At that time, Dark Horse House had just entered the Army Academy, and he had just taken over the leadership of the Knights of the Round Table from his graduated brother.
The net income of one hundred gold coins per month completely belonged to the net income of Dark Horse House, which allowed House to spend many months of happy days.
Until now, Dark Horse House still remembers the scenery and leisure during that period of time, a hundred gold coins, which is a lot of money, a teenager like him, with an income of one hundred gold coins every month, represents what he wants to eat, what he wants to drink, and there will never be a shortage of those delicate and delicate daughters from the rich family.
But the good times come to an abrupt end when a student gang called the Brotherhood of the Iron Fist suddenly rises.
The Iron Fist Brotherhood led by Lin Qi was insidious, cunning, and intriguing, and the arrogant and arrogant Knights of the Round Table would be completely defeated in just three months.
Coupled with the fact that other student gangs have also taken advantage of this opportunity to emerge, the university town of Berelli no longer has the grandeur of the Knights of the Round Table.
Not surprisingly, Dark Horse House's monthly income has gone from a net income of 100 gold coins to making ends meet.
Hated and humiliated, Dark Horse House imagined countless times that he could kiss Lin Qi and beg for mercy, and since then he has reunified the university town of Berley.
But Lin Qi is so treacherous, so cunning, and his conspiracy methods are definitely not something that Dark Horse House can contend with.
Three years have passed, and Dark Horse House has suffered losses again and again, and has been fooled again and again, but Lin Qi's Iron Fist Brotherhood is getting stronger and stronger.
Thankfully, today they caught Vic As one of the core backbones of the Iron Fist Brotherhood, it is impossible for Lin Qi to ignore Vic's life and death Putting the wine glass on the table, the dark horse haus shouted: "It's today, right here, I want Lin Qi to kneel and beg for mercy" Nearly a hundred members of the Knights of the Round Table in the tavern raised their glasses at the same time and burst out laughing.
They clamored for the Brotherhood of the Iron Fist to be crushed, to return the university town of Berelli to the glorious rule of the Knights of the Round Table, and for the students to pour gold, silver, and bronze into their purses like water.
Dark Horse House hiccuped pleasantly, he patted the shoulder of the rabbit Charlie hard, and praised with satisfaction: "Charlie, you did a good job this time, you didn't lose the face of our Army Academy, you know, we are a regular army, they are just a group of hooligans, we will defeat them, we will" This is the pride of the Knights of the Round Table, and all the members of the Knights of the Round Table are students of the Army Academy, and they call themselves regular soldiers.
And dozens of core members of Lin Qi's Iron Fist Brotherhood are students from various universities, and the hundreds of thugs and errands on the periphery are really ruffians and hooligans that Lin Qi hooked up with.
From this point of view, Dark Horse House did not wronged Lin Qi.
Just when Dark Horse House was arrogantly threatening to defeat Lin Qi and the others completely, a dark shadow flickered outside the tavern, and a group of unknown people had already approached the tavern.
A few muffled grunts were heard, and several servants outside the tavern who were tending to the horses were knocked unconscious from behind
