with only patches of dark green pine forests breaking the monotony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold wind howled like a knife, sweeping across and stirring up the snow on the ground, making it hard for people to open their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chris wrapped his fur cloak tighter around himself, still shivering involuntarily,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The northern winters are really not a place for humans to stay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cursed softly, exhaling a puff of white breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a knight like him couldn’t withstand the approaching Icefield region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mission Rod assigned to him was more troublesome than imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Find the territory of the White Claw Tribe, capture two Snow Rabbit People, gather intelligence—it sounded simple, but in reality, it was like walking on thin ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since he chose to serve Rod, he had to see it through, even if the path ahead was covered in frost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head to look at the small figure of the Snow Rabbit person beside him, his voice low: \"How much further?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snow Rabbit person’s name was Kael, a guide sent by Rod, fluent in both the alien language and the language of the Empire, considered as a translator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kael raised a paw, pointing to the gorge between distant mountains: \"Cross that gorge, and it’s the territory of the White Claw Tribe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’ll be active nearby, looking for food, we should be able to find their traces.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chris nodded and glanced at the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already afternoon, the sun was beginning to set, time was pressing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kael turned his head, his azure eyes watching Chris, speaking gently: \"Although they betrayed us, that was their leader’s mistake, it has nothing to do with the other Snow Rabbit people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, his voice lowering: \"I hope you...won’t harm their lives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most Snow Rabbit people are quite honest and rather timid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Chris didn’t like hearing such weak words; if Kael were his soldier, Kael would be kicked over by him right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality, Kael wasn’t his soldier and in Frost Leaf Town was just a craftsman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just want to catch a tongue, as long as they behave, I won’t be ruthless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chris frowned, his tone hard: \"But if they resist, they’ll surely suffer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his hand, signaling Kael to stop talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned around, whispered orders to the soldiers behind, \"Target the forest ahead, be aware of the surroundings, keep quiet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldiers immediately lowered themselves, moving quietly towards the direction Kael pointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chris walked at the front, his sharp gaze like an eagle’s scanning the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they had climbed halfway, the commotion on the hillside made Chris stop abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand, signaling the team to halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the pine forest, Chris saw forty to fifty Snow Rabbit people crouching on the ground, clawing desperately at the frozen soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside the Snow Rabbit people stood several Lizardmen holding long whips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whips occasionally struck the Snow Rabbit people, emitting a crisp \"snap\" sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snow Rabbit people winced in pain, immediately speeding up their clawing actions,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chris observed everything calmly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"White Claw Tribe...seems they’re not doing well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unfamiliar complexity arose in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fate of betrayers was never pretty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He himself could be considered a betrayer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know how Lord Rod would treat him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chris clenched his fists, his mind flashing with images of his wife and child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what, even if he suffered, he wanted them to live peacefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath, suppressing his chaotic thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned around, subtly signaling to retreat,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Retreat for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young soldier crawled forward, lowering his voice, anxious,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We finally found their location, why not... just kill those Lizardmen directly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chris turned sharply, his gaze cutting like a knife, his tone hard: \"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier hesitated, wanting to argue: \"I counted, only five Lizardmen, we can handle them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you know there are no ambushes in the dark?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chris’s voice deepened,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if you kill those Lizardmen, can you guarantee the Snow Rabbit people will come with us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, his gaze sweeping across the young soldier’s face: \"If there’s another betrayer in the White Claw Tribe, we’ll be in a mess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier clenched his teeth,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re right, sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your suggestion isn’t wrong, but it’s not right for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chris’s voice softened, offering a bit of comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no foundation in Frost Leaf Town, so having a soldier willing to propose ideas was precious, making Chris grateful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, if it were before, Chris might have thought the same as the soldier, charging straight in, so he understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after being ambushed by Rod, Chris learned to be cautious, still more cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would never make the same mistake again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every decision must be well-thought-out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chris looked up at the gradually darkening sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, near the Icefield Mountain Range, one could really freeze to death without a firesource at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chris pulled his cloak tighter, ordered softly: \"This time, it wasn’t fruitless, at least we mapped out the route.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tomorrow, take others and investigate the surroundings thoroughly, then make a decision.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his hand, leading the team to retreat silently, carefully erasing their footprints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the manor hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people with some authority from Frost Leaf Town were all present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some sat on either side of the long table, some stood in the back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know, today is the fourth week of the last month of winter, it’s Winterveil Festival here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rod’s gaze swept across everyone,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve prepared some Winterveil gifts for you all, you can collect them from Lawrence after the meeting ends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your generosity!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone spoke in unison, bowing to Rod.\u003C\u002Fp>",955,"2026-05-30T15:19:45.195Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","b83845888ee81e57ce114a1e020dfb323162b62c6def21e04f37d6b60760a707","farming-with-entries-from-lord-to-emperor-chapter-250","farming-with-entries-from-lord-to-emperor-chapter-248",776,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffarming-with-entries-from-lord-to-emperor-cover.jpg"]
