Chapter 368
As Gavin returned to Brookspring in the Frostpeak, he was surrounded by a desolate, frozen landscape. Its reputation for harshness was earned through endless winters, where snow and ice held dominion
without respite.
The howling winds and relentless blizzards were constant companions, showing no mercy to those who dared to tread its frozen trails.
Once, this land had been alive with a thriving ecosystem, but fate had dealt it a cruel blow,
Overnight, unforeseen events had transtormed into a desolate wasteland devoid of any signs of life Even the tracks of animals had disappeared under layers of snow and ice.
Amidst this icy wilderness, there stood a remarkable oasis of life-the stronghold of the Frostpeak General
It resembled a grand medieval castle, radiating an aura of strength and authority that contrasted starkly with the desolation outside.
Despite its location in the harshest climates, this fortress remained untouched by the unforgiving weather.
Curiously, the conditions within and outside the fortress were worlds apart.
Inside the fortress, the scene was dramatically different. It was a lush oasis, impervious to the biting cold
outside.
No matter how fierce the storms raged beyond its walls, the fortress’s interior remained a serene paradise.
At a glance, it appeared as if it were plucked from the realms of fairy tales.
However, this sanctuary was inhabited exclusively by the personal guards of Frostpeak General, Jacket. There were no ordinary residents within its walls.
As the personal guards went about their duties, they exchanged hushed words:
