Chapter 1062
At those words, the Insect Ruler could not help but sneer.
On the other side, the climate on Mount Valdez was indeed unusual. At some point, snowflakes the size of goose feathers had begun to fall.
Andrius and his group continued their journey through the snow.
However, with the Wolf King leading them, the morale of the Bardan soldiers remained high, and they were not affected by the weather.
“Mount Valdez truly is the foremost among mountains. It’s the peak of all gods.” The captain of the soldiers, Lewis Finch, brushed the snow off his body as he walked, sighing, “Since ancient times, no one has been able to conquer this legendary mountain, but it’s not without reason.”
Andrius smiled and asked, “If no one can conquer it, why do they still choose to come and go on this sacred mountain?”
Through casual conversation along the way, Andrius learned that the dozens of soldiers who accompanied him were not only the elite of Bardan but also frequently ventured into Mount Valdez to carry out tasks.
Thus, Andrius asked Lewis that question.
“It’s to feed our families.” Lewis smiled bitterly, but there was a trace of happiness on his face. “Bardan isn’t as prosperous as Florence.
“It’s hard for us to live good lives. Although Mount Valdez is dangerous, the rewards the king gives are extremely generous. They’re several times that of ordinary missions.
“The king also values our valor, so we’re taking on a few more tasks while we’re young and healthy to save money for retirement and spend our later years with our families.”
After he spoke, the other soldiers chimed in.
“Wealth hides within danger.”
“Actually, we’re already doing much better compared to those on the battlefield.”
“We’re already familiar with the western slopes of Mount Valdez. As long as no special situations happen and we avoid dangerous areas, we shouldn’t have any major problems.”
“A single trip can provide a stable life for our wives and kids for several years. Overall, it’s a good deal.”
Andrius fell silent. Whether in Florence or Bardan, the ordinary people were all sincere and lovable.
“Besides, I’ve already made up my mind.” Lewis said, “After this mission, I’ll hand in my resignation to the king, retire, and stay by my wife and children’s side. I want to be a good husband and father.”
At those words, Lewis‘ face carried a warm and gentle smile. Even the snowflakes that blanketed Mount Valdez seemed to melt at that moment.

Such was the happiness of ordinary people.
Andrius was moved and promised, “When the time comes, I’ll talk to King Laurent and get his approval for your retirement.”
“Thank you, Wolf King!” Lewis grinned, appearing simple and sincere. Then, he added, ” However, we still need to be careful for now. The wolves on Mount Valdez have absorbed the spiritual energy in the area and are much more cunning than wolves in other places.
“Sometimes, they even organize themselves to raid the villages at the foot of the mountain. They often steal livestock from the villages. Furthermore, some villagers have become their prey.”
Lewis’s face was filled with anger as he spoke. “The king has organized several wolf–hunting operations, but these beasts always avoid direct confrontation with the hunting teams. It’s as if they knew in advance.
“As a result, the wolf–hunting teams return empty–handed each time. Sometimes, people get separated from their teams and killed by the snow wolves.”
Lewis sighed helplessly. “Later on, the king had to change his strategy from offense to defense, making the situation barely manageable.”
The entire group fell into silence at those words. It seemed that the numerous defeats had lowered their morale.
Awoo-
Just then, a wolf’s howl echoed from the distant mountaintop.
Awoo-
Awoo-
The howls continued one after another, indicating that there were quite a number of them.
“Oh, no! We’ve been spotted by a snow wolf pack!” Lewis immediately exclaimed and ordered, “Everyone, draw your weapons. Don’t hesitate. If you see any movement, open fire immediately!”
