Chapter 185: Ice and Snow Saintess
As mentioned earlier, the Lingyuan Continent is a jujube core-type auto-rotating body.
Thick in the middle and pointed at both ends.
The 12 suns are also mainly distributed over the middle of the continent.
Because of the difference in distance from the sun, the distribution of light and heat resources is dense in the middle of the continent and sparse at both ends of the continent.
In a word: hot in the middle, cold at both ends.
Take the earth as an example, the north and south poles, because they are thousands of kilometers away from the sun than the equator, the temperature is forty or fifty degrees different from the equator, and even in the polar daylight environment, there is still a large amount of ice and snow.
In the Lingyuan Continent, the distance between the two poles and the middle of the continent is nearly half a light-year, and the temperature difference caused by this is almost from absolute zero to tens of degrees above zero.
Therefore, at the poles of the Lingyuan Continent, in an extremely cold environment, there is basically no life to survive.
Not to mention the poles, that is, in the middle and low latitudes, which are about 300 billion kilometers away from the equator, a large amount of ice and snow cover has begun to be covered, which is not very suitable for the survival of animals and plants.
Therefore, the entire Lingyuan Continent seems to be very large, but in fact, only about 8% of the place is suitable for the survival of animals and plants (mainly refers to organisms with sufficient sunlight and warm climate).
The other 92% of the area is not suitable for life?
Of course not.
Even in the endless darkness of the abyss underground, there are a large number of demons, how can ice and snow become an obstacle to the existence of life?
You must know that this plane is the plane of idealism.
Some special races and creatures can survive in the extreme cold of ice and snow.
For example, the Snow Clan, a race with morphological characteristics that are eighty percent similar to humans, is the master of the northern ice and snow world.
The survivability of the Snow Clan is very strong, and they can move freely in the cold of tens of degrees below zero, and the ice exercises they practice have huge attack power, and in the ice and snow environment, they have a bonus effect.
Therefore, the territory of the Snow Clan is difficult for humans to set foot in.
But for the human territory in the warm zone, the Snow has coveted it for millions of years.
Organize a small offensive almost every hundred years, and a large-scale attack every thousand years.
The scale of the number of troops dispatched is about 10 billion when it is small, and it may exceed 100 billion when it is large.
In the cold region to the north of the human world, there is no miasma forest, and the Snow Clan often invades tens of thousands of miles, hundreds of thousands of miles, and occupies large areas of territory without ice and snow.
Even if every invasion ended in failure under the counterattack of the human alliance, the Snow Clan still enjoyed it.
Still never give up.
Because they, too, are warm-blooded creatures, warmth makes them feel comfortable, and the land overgrown with greenery makes them feel happy.
There is also the food that grows on these lands, which can feed more people.
The easy-to-mine minerals under these lands can also enhance the strength of the Snow Tribes.
So for the warm land, the Snow Clan will never give up the thirst.
But......
Hundreds of failures have made the Ice and Snow Saintess have a trace of doubt about her own ability.
She did not doubt the combat effectiveness of the clansmen, and under her tutelage, every time the Ice and Snow Legion dispatched, the human coalition army was terrified.
But after so many years of fighting, the Ice and Snow Saintess also discovered a pattern.
That is every time the Snow Clan invades, it is like a bamboo, extremely smooth, and the human alliance army stationed on the border is overwhelmed.
But the smoother it goes, the worse it often loses!
This is not the reason for the Ice and Snow Saintess's side, the Spirit Saint on the human side, if it is one-on-one, she can repel it, if it is two-on-one, she will not be at a disadvantage...... Her "Ice and Snow Domain" can suppress the powerhouses of the same level.
The problem is on the Snow Legion's side.
One, the Snow Clan soldiers, after entering the warm zone, the physical vitality will not increase, but will decrease, and the reaction will be slower and listless.
And because there is no ice and snow on the ground, many natural skills cannot be used, and the combat effectiveness is reduced by more than 50%.
Second, army discipline, the Snow Clan army is far inferior to the human coalition army, even if the individual strength of the Snow Clan, on average, is stronger than the human race, but the discipline is loose, the temper is short, and the battle formation cannot be tight, and the battlefield is also self-absorbed and fighting.
The whole rabble.
In the face of the human coalition army with neat appearance and tight formation, it is often shocked and scattered.
Later, the Ice and Snow Saintess realized this problem, and specially selected a group of more obedient clansmen, imitated the Terran coalition army, and formed an ice and snow army, which slightly improved the situation.
Three, poorly equipped, extremely poor!
Because the smelting technology is too primitive and backward, it is difficult to mine minerals in the frozen ice field, more than half of the Snow Clan soldiers use wooden sticks and stones, one-third use primitive swords, and only a very small number of elites can wear armor and use the exquisite swords captured from the human alliance.
What about the Human Alliance?
Because of millions of years of war, weapon smelting is extremely developed, and every human soldier is armed to the teeth.
The disadvantages of many aspects led to the invasion of the Snow Clan, although the scale was not compressed, but the losses were heavier and heavier each time, and the distance to go deep was smaller and smaller each time.
In the past 10,000 years, if the number of warriors dispatched by the Snow Clan is less than 10 billion, it will be difficult to break through even the outermost line of defense of the human race.
Small-scale invasions have yielded little but heavy losses.
Of course, the Ice and Snow Saintess considered making a move and destroying the human defense line with one palm...... But doing so breaks the rules.
If the Terran Spirit Saint also intervened against her clansmen's army, the Snow Clan would also be unable to bear it.
And the number of human spirit saint-level powerhouses is much more than that of the Snow Clan.
She didn't dare to provoke too many Terran Spirit Saints.
It's just that......
The Snow Clan also needs to develop.
The Snow also needs more living space!
Although the ice and snow world is endless, if she can make an exchange, she is willing to exchange the territory of the Snow Clan with a radius of millions of miles for the warm and fertile soil within a radius of thousands of miles.
But what is the use of human beings in the unsurvivable land covered with ice and snow and cold?
War.
Only war can break out.
……
Northern.
A white earth covered in silver.
In a windless valley.
The temple of ice and snow stands tall.
The ice bricks of the exterior wall are crystal clear, shining in the dark yellow sun.
This palace, made almost entirely of ice, is where the Snow Clan's leader, the Ice and Snow Saintess, lives.
In a bedroom on the top floor, sitting in front of the dressing mirror, looking at the figure in the realm, the Ice and Snow Saintess frowned and fell into a tangled worry.
"Soon the millennium war will come, should this war be launched?"
"The new generation of clansmen are looking forward to living in the warmth, and who will tell those young warriors who are eager to try it that it is just a dream after all?"
"A large number of them will die in the war, and their bodies will be abandoned in the outer lands, never to return to their homeland in the Snow Country. ”
"Humanity is a blessed race from heaven, and no one can defeat them. ”
"This war is destined to end in defeat, and the warm land is destined not to belong to the Snow Clan. ”
What if you give up waging war?
Shook his head.
It can't be either.
After hundreds of years of reproduction, the number of the Snow Tribe's people has more than doubled, and a lot of food is needed, but the food production in the snowy area is limited, the production development is backward, and the survival is mainly hunting, and the snow within a radius of 100 miles can only feed one person.
The output of land can no longer meet the needs of population growth.
The life of the tribesmen became poorer and poorer.
One might ask: why not expand your living space further north into the snowy regions?
Shook his head.
The farther north is too cold for the Snow Tribes to bear.
What's more, there is less food over there, but there are many dangers.
The south side is the only direction to expand the living space.
"Hey, my people, please make sure that you continue to win brilliant victories in war. ”
The Ice and Snow Saintess muttered.
That's when it happened.
"Boom~"
"Boom!"
Outside the Ice and Snow Temple, a fierce fight suddenly sounded.
and a few roars of the Snow Clan elders.
"The bold human race dares to break into my Snow Clan's holy land, intending to disturb the Holy Venerable and die!"
"Elder Ulu, intercept this Terran, don't let him escape, watch me freeze him to death with a 'Frozen Hundred Miles'!"
"Okay! Kill him, this is the end of provoking the Snow Clan!"
The two Snow Clan elders frantically unleashed an attack to put Zhou Ming to death.
Zhou Ming dodged in embarrassment, and explained through amplification with a few words of the Snow Clan language he had learned:
"Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong!"
"I'm here to take refuge in the Snow Clan, to you!"
"I have a way to be strong in the Snow, and I have a lot of ways to help you!"
"Trust me, trust me!"
Zhou Ming kept repeating these words.
But instead of listening, the two Snow Clan elders attacked even more fiercely!
"You humans have always been cunning, how can we be easily fooled?"
"Hmph, my Snow Clan is so powerful, I want you as a human to help, it's just nonsense!"
"Stop talking nonsense, human boy, go die!"
The two Snow Clan elders were murderous, and their big moves were one after another.
"I'm really here to take refuge in you!"
"I really have a way to make the Snow Clan strong, trust me!"
Zhou Ming was still dodging, and his mouth still didn't stop.
Suddenly!
The air is stagnant!
Zhou Ming suddenly couldn't move, as if time had stood still.
"The Holy Venerable has struck!"
The two Snow Clan elders were overjoyed, and each waved his hand to release a sharp ice pick, stabbing straight towards Zhou Ming.
I'm going to prick him in the heart.
Zhou Ming was shocked and struggled hard, but as if he was entangled in the iron cable, he couldn't move, he could only look at the two ice picks, which were quickly enlarged in front of his eyes.
"Click~"
Just as the two Snow Clan elders were smiling wildly, the two ice picks, one inch in front of Zhou Ming's nose, paused.
Under the action of gravity, two huge ice picks fell to the ground and smashed with a bang.
"Holy Venerable, why don't you kill him?"
The two elders looked upward, puzzled.
"Bring him to the temple!"
The Ice and Snow Saintess said lightly, and with a wave of her sleeves, she froze Zhou Ming in a diamond-shaped block of ice.
"Yes, Holy Venerable!"
The two elders carried the ice cubes and flew in the direction of the temple.
Zhou Ming in the ice cube smiled bitterly in his heart: Ma Dan, if you want to be a "human traitor", it is so difficult!
