Chapter 189: Husband?
The Ice and Snow Saintess plans to send troops to attack the human world, not that there is a famine within the Snow Clan, and they want to go to the south to plunder on a large scale.
Today's Snow Clan has long been free from the problem of food and clothing.
She decided to send troops for two main purposes.
One, take a piece of wood that belongs to the Snow Clan, and get a large number of timber resources.
At present, the Snow Tribes have grain and coal, but because they do not have their own forest farms, timber resources are scarce.
Because the production of many tools, furniture, and daily necessities is inseparable from the participation of wood, there is no wood on the snowy region, and it can only be obtained from the forests in the southern border area.
But on the border, there are a large number of Terran garrisons.
The Snow Clan's logging team is often attacked by Terran patrols, and the losses are not small.
The Ice and Snow Saintess intends to put an end to this situation, attack the Terrans, and lay down a forest farm that belongs entirely to the Snow Clan!
Another purpose is to train troops.
Test the results of the Snow Clan's reform in the past 30 years.
With a war, see how powerful the Snow Clan is now!
In the Ice and Snow Legion, from generals to soldiers, many Snow Clan warriors are screaming and fighting, they haven't fought for too many years, and these Snow Clan warriors who like to fight by nature have long been unable to hold back.
Regarding the plan of the Ice and Snow Saintess, Zhou Ming nodded and discussed it with her.
"If you just want to get a forest farm that belongs to the Snow Clan and lay a forest, I don't recommend going too deep. ”
"Break through the first line of Terran defense line, at most three thousand miles deep, and the forest resources in this area are enough for the Snow Clan to use for many years. ”
"If the invasion is too deep, the Terran Spirit Saint will definitely intervene, and then the Snow Clan army will have to retreat. ”
Zhou Ming said that now the strength of the Snow Clan in all aspects is more than ten times that of thirty years ago, but there has not been much change on the Terran side, and in the face of the attack of the elite army of the Snow Clan, it will definitely be defeated on all fronts and will be difficult to resist.
But it can't be too much, in order to occupy a large area of warm land, go forward 30,000, 50,000, 100,000 miles, until the human race spirit saint is forced out...... This is not a wise strategy.
Zhou Ming's idea was to first lay a forest farm to meet the current needs, and then negotiate with the Terrans to establish equal trade ties and take what they needed, so as to eliminate the war between the two races.
If you don't agree, keep fighting!
Hurt the other party again and again, and the conditions proposed by the Snow Clan, the Terran would naturally nod and agree.
The purpose of the Snow Clan has been gradually achieved, and there is no need to occupy a large area of Terran land, and resources can be obtained through trade.
And there are more resources on the snow region, animal fur, countless buried underground ores, and a large number of spirit stones and spirit crystal ores associated with spiritual veins...... The purchasing power of the Snow Clan is far higher than the Terrans imagined.
Then through the "Ice Valley Track" for the transportation of personnel and materials, above the snowy region, the country that the Snow Tribes are building, the economic vitality is unprecedentedly high.
This will have a strong attraction to the Terran merchants.
The prospects for commercial and trade cooperation between the two sides are far greater than war.
This is also the external expansion strategy formulated by Zhou Ming for the Snow Clan - pure territorial expansion, which is not comparable to economic expansion.
As long as the degree of industrialization of the Snow Tribes is high enough, the Snow Tribes will be on the active side in future economic and trade exchanges.
"I see. ”
The Ice and Snow Saintess smiled and nodded, this human man is good in all aspects, but he is too verbose in some aspects.
For the expansion strategy of the Snow Clan proposed by him, the top leaders of the Snow Clan, including her, are very much in agreement
……
Three months later.
You're all set!
After completing the assembly and training around the Holy City, the army of one billion elite Snow Clan formed a team of 100,000 people, followed the "Ice Valley Track", sat on the upper rail train, and marched southward.
The so-called "ice valley track" is to first chisel out a five-meter-deep "ice valley" on the thick snow, and then tamp the ground inside the ice valley, pour water, and make an ice surface at least two meters thick, and then install hardwood tracks on this ice surface, run a light-loaded train on the track, use a steam head to pull, burn coal, and the maximum speed is 50 kilometers per hour.
With the "Ice Valley Track" and the "Steam Locomotive", the Snow Clan's troop transportation speed is at least ten times that of the previous one.
It will take only two months at most for the entire army to reach the southern border.
This was unimaginable hundreds of years ago, and every time the Snow Clan launched the "Millennium War", the troops dispatched were claimed to be "100 billion", but in fact, one-third of them arrived at the human border, and most of them died of cold and starvation on the march.
By the end of the war, it would be nice to have 5 billion people returning.
And this time, one billion elite soldiers were dispatched, and the combat effectiveness was at least equivalent to the tens of billions of troops sent in previous years, and it could even be said to be stronger!
Because of these billion elite soldiers, almost everyone has put on armor, and what each soldier holds in his hand is a fine blade made by his own craftsmen.
There are also a large number of long-range crossbow troops, ballista troops, and trebuchet troops, and the siege ability has been improved by 10 million times.
Looking at this legion, the Ice and Snow Saintess riding on the back of a giant Snow Wolf King was full of emotion.
Turning his head, he glanced at Zhou Ming, who was riding on the back of another snow wolf, and looked at his side face, the Ice and Snow Saintess was slightly distracted.
I secretly said in my heart: All this in front of me was brought by this human man.
Without him, the Snow Clan would not be as powerful as it is today.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but speak: "Bai Feiyang, thank you!"
"Oh~!"
"You're welcome!"
Zhou Ming came back to his senses and smiled at her, his face a little worried.
Seeing that the Ice and Snow Saintess was very interested, Zhou Ming said: "Your Highness the Saintess, I have a few Terran friends who plan to come and see me, but ...... It's not very convenient, I wonder if I can leave the Holy City for a few days after the war is over and go and meet them?"
Zhou Ming made a request.
In fact, in the past 30 years, he has maintained a certain amount of contact with his wife Mu Feiyan through special channels and by writing encrypted letters.
Almost every month, there will be a letter exchanged.
And Zhou Ming also told them what he had gained.
It's just that......
After not seeing each other for thirty years, no matter how much Zhou Ming has gained, he can't alleviate the pain of lovesickness.
Especially his wife Mu Feiyan, in the letters in recent months, she has been clamoring to come to him, or ask Zhou Ming to leave the snowy region and go back with them!
Never come back!
She has almost had enough days without her husband by her side!
Gao Xiuzhen's attitude is similar.
Only Jiang Ruonan was better, and he comforted and dissuaded the two of them from time to time.
But in any case, this long-term separation situation will not last long.
"Leave?"
Hearing this word, the Ice and Snow Saintess's face changed, and she almost subconsciously said, "No, you can't leave!"
The hope of the rise of the Snow Clan is pinned on you, how can you leave?
Moreover, with his cultivation, the two elders of Uru and Kamon are no longer his opponents, as long as they are out of her line of sight and not within the range of her domain perception, the Ice and Snow Saintess has no way to confirm whether she can get this human man back after he is far away.
If he chooses to escape, the future of the Snow Clan will be bleak.
So this human man, even if he showed the slightest sign of leaving, she felt very nervous.
"This ......"
Zhou Ming was taken aback by the nervous reaction of the Ice and Snow Saintess.
It's just that he will leave for a few days, and he will not run away......
However, looking at the Ice and Snow Saintess's gloomy face, he had no choice but to say, "That...... How about a few of my friends come to visit me in the snowy region?"
Zhou Ming has also lived for hundreds of years, and it is very normal to have a few Terran friends who have a good relationship.
The Ice and Snow Saintess also understood this, so she nodded and said, "Yes, you can call them over." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Zhou Ming pressed his hand to his chest and said.
……
Three months later.
"Boom~" There was a loud bang.
A huge 100-meter-high Great Wall in front of it only lasted less than five days under the constant bombardment of trebuchets before collapsing.
The "Great Wall of Desperation", which took hundreds of thousands of years to build and had not been breached for 500 years, only lasted five days this time, and was bombarded by the Snow Clan army to create a huge gap of 100 meters.
The army of the Snow Clan in the north let out a cheer.
Then a full-scale offensive was launched.
Millions of Snow warriors are running wild!
"Kill!"
"The National Teacher said, the first army to climb the city, there is enough soju!"
"You mean that 80-degree soju?" the warrior ran faster at the word 'shochu', and his saliva flowed and spilled all over the ground.
"For the sake of the Shochu! For the sake of the Holy Highness!" Another warrior roared, and the Shochu actually lined up in front of the Holy Highness.
"Boom boom~!"
The wild run of millions of elite warriors of the Snow Clan, rolling up the snow and dust in the sky!
At this scene, the human coalition army on the city wall changed their faces wildly, and their bodies were like chaff.
"Is this really the Snow Legion?"
"No way, this can't be!"
"Ahh
"Run, if we don't run, we'll die!"
"Boom Boom~"
Three days.
The tens of millions of human coalition troops on the Great Wall of Desperation only held out for less than three days before they were routed on all fronts with heavy casualties.
In less than ten days, the Great Wall of Desperation completely fell.
The top brass of the Human Coalition was shocked and panicked.
On the Snow Clan's side, after taking the Great Wall of Desperation, they did not continue to advance in a big way, but after completely occupying the Great Wall of Desperation, they used this Great Wall as a base and steadily advanced to the south, and after breaking through several small defense lines, they went deeper into the interior for more than 3,000 miles, and after occupying a large area of forest, they turned from an offensive posture to an active defense.
This was a big surprise to the human coalition.
After that, several large-scale counteroffences were organized, but because of insufficient preparation and weak combat effectiveness of the corps, all of them ended in a crushing defeat and had to choose to retreat.
For the first time, on the territory of the human world, the Snow Legion has completely gained a foothold, and has enough spare strength to defeat the counterattacks of the human coalition army again and again.
The two sides entered a stalemate.
But the Snow Clan's side has full confidence to eat all the occupied territory and use that precious forest resources permanently.
However, the joy of victory did not infect Zhou Ming himself.
There were two women, controlling a floating magic weapon, and under the high vigilance of the Snow Clan elders, they landed in front of Zhou Ming's living tent.
The levitation artifact fell to the ground, and two human women walked out.
After seeing Zhou Ming standing on the side, one of the human women with a beautiful appearance rushed straight towards him.
"Husband!"
Mu Feiyan lay on Zhou Ming's chest, her powder fist kept beating, and her tears couldn't help but fall.
"Alright, okay, don't cry, don't cry. ”
Zhou Ming kept comforting softly, but his head felt extremely painful.
In this scene, the two Snow Clan elders next to him looked at each other with suspicious expressions.
The Ice and Snow Saintess, who was secretly observing from a distance, changed her face.
Husband?
