Winter is coming!

Perhaps the goddess in charge of the cold winter has awakened, and the most powerful city in the entire republic, Abiwei, has been covered in white since sometime. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The white baptism seemed to have slightly reduced the bloody aura caused by the years of war in the Republic, and the terrifying aura of slaughter that echoed in the air seemed to be blown away with the cold wind, and the ancient war drums that stirred in the hearts of the Goliaths and the thoughts of the great Goliathians to make meritorious deeds seemed to have faded.

War is not discussed in winter, it is a tradition of the Goliaths.

The sudden arrival of the cold snap was a kind of discomfort for everyone, whether it was the clean city streets lined with neat buildings, the dilapidated alleys dotted with all kinds of wind and moon establishments, or the villas of the rich and noble councillors in the center of the city surrounded by the river, all of whom sat in front of the fireplace all day long.

People are mabbling curses about the damn weather and worrying about their next meal, or they are thinking about how to make more money, or they are constantly planning the next step in the development of the Republic......

With the arrival of an even more devastating cold snap from the Germanic Black Forest in the far north, the city of Abivi and the surrounding cities were plunged into freezing temperatures of tens of degrees below zero.

Then, as if cursed, from the Crimean steppes on the northern shore of the Black Sea, where the brutal, warlike and tenacious centaur archers lived, a terrible cold wave known locally as the "Praise of the Witch of the Sea" spread from the depths of the Black Sea to the earth, and then fled far to the innocent city of Abivi.

At this time, the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees again, the two rivers were frozen, and several tall towers in the city of Abiwei emitted a soft light.

The light warmed the city, and the temperature rose by more than a dozen degrees......

And at the moment, the disaster is far from stopping...... At this time, the peninsula south of the city of Abigvi has come to an end of the famous double season of ice and fire, and has begun to gradually transition from the ice and fire season to a single ice season, and the temperature has dropped to the extreme.

In this way, a strange current blew from the peninsula, and something like a thick fog was "turned" by the gods from the peninsula to Abiwei, and the entire city or suburbs of Abiwei fell into extreme darkness - a white expanse, and nothing could be seen clearly.

And this is clearly not the end, some predict that the abrupt transition from the ice and fire season to the ice season may have a terrible impact on the climate, and perhaps a terrible land storm due to the imbalance of hot and cold.

The towering observation tower in the city of Abiwei is now brightly lit, and from her straight but actually slightly inclined tower body emanates a colorful light, the brilliance is like a dream, like the sun of tomorrow.

When the city of Abiwei was facing the invasion of fog, when countless people were in fear and uneasy, like a lantern in the darkness, it dispelled the fog for people and illuminated the way forward, in the city of Abivi, darkness and light coexisted.

The council received a foreknowledge from the observers in the observation tower that the peninsula would soon experience an unstable retrograde whirlpool of air from the fire season to the ice season, during which time an extremely powerful and devastating explosion would inevitably occur on the peninsula, comparable to that of a super-giant hurricane, and most likely to spread far away.

Such explosions are no stranger to the Goliaths, having occurred many times in the past and caused great disasters, but also with blessings.

Not to mention the era of the Republic, as early as the era of the peninsula, explosions occurred from time to time, the most serious one, even caused the death of more than 10 million Goliaths, accounting for half of the total population of 25 million Goliaths at that time.

The explosion caused the city lords and tribal leaders to kneel en masse in a sacred place called "White City" by the Goliaths, praying for forgiveness from the god of war.

The massive explosion, though devastating and casual, turned the southernmost desert part of the peninsula into a swamp and then into fertile arable land, which was also affected by the air currents of the sea, and the rainfall was abundant, resulting in a region of abundant food.

But this in no way did the Goliaths like this great catastrophe, the natural complexity of which is beyond the comprehension of the natural principles of the explosions, which are most likely to occur during thunderstorms and the alternation of the seasons of ice and fire, and at that time the greatest of the Goliaths, the great humanist philosopher, Boshua, felt the need to educate the people on the punishment of the gods for blaming this phenomenon.

But Boshua's true greatness lies in his political achievements, not in his scholarship.

However, as he wished, the Goliaths would not blame the traditional belief in the god of war, Andua, or the holy religion, the supreme Adua. The era of fanatical belief in God and God is long over, and the religious fanaticism that existed in the age of great expansion is no longer remembered by the Goliaths, who still believe in things because tradition wants them to believe, nothing more.

Big Bang ...... Panic does not spread in areas where the explosion does not, or even say, cannot be reached, and the Greeks in the Greek provinces, hearing the prediction of the explosion, are eager to run to the Black Forest of Far Northern Europe to live with Germanic women whose arms are thicker than their thighs, at least for them, so that they can stay away from danger.

The most "dangerous" area, the city of Abivi, remained motionless in the face of a possible explosion, and the Goliaths did not seem to plan to flee anywhere, and there was no one in the whole of Abivi who had no intention of escaping anywhere in the near future.

This is the wisdom of the Goliaths, they have long been prepared, not that they are really not afraid of death.

The councillors were worried about the emergence of such predictive conjectures, and even more worried about how far away the "far away" of the "far-reaching area" would be as far away as the city of Abivi?

The city of Abivi was about to face such a crisis, but no one fled without permission, but followed the tradition of absolute unity of the Goliaths in the face of the crisis, a tradition born in the ancient tribal era, when no one wanted to flee in the battle of the battlefield, no matter what the situation was, because it was against the iron laws of the tribe, and when the time came, it would be condemned unanimously by all the Goliaths.

They built the fortress in an orderly manner, completed the work ahead of schedule with great enthusiasm, and then moved to live underground as a group.

The dark underworld is the territory of the Grey Cattle (Grey Dwarves, the Goliaths' scorn for dwarves) and the Sissies (Dark Elves, the Goliaths' disdain for the Dark Elves).

However, under the charge of the brave infantry regiment stationed in Abyvigoliath, the dwarves and dark elves suffered heavy casualties, and they had to agree to give up a piece of land for the republic's patriarchal fathers.

Guarded by sturdy, tall, strong, dark-skinned and resolute soldiers, the citizens of Abivi stretched their underground bunkers into the ground......

Deep underground, Goliath-wearing Goliath-wearing laborers with searchlights under the watchful eye of wealthy citizens, resolute but secretly dissatisfied, are also Goliaths, why are they doing the hard work of building underground fortresses like slaves.

As the whistle blew at the end of the working hours, the Goliath laborers shouted, and immediately took off the clothes they wore for their labor, and demanded wages from the wealthy citizens under the leadership of the leaders.

In this way, in the quarrel between the citizens and the laborers, day after day passed......

When the light finally appeared in the depths of the earth, the Goliaths had already made the underground a kingdom not inferior to the earth, no, a republic.

Lighthouses with soft glows, neat buildings and streets, shops and public baths, barber shops, libraries, and other essential things for the Goliaths were built.

Finally, the nobles of Abiwei can rest assured that they can sleep until they wake up naturally, and they are full of beautiful women and wine.

A Germanic slave poet who hated the republic wrote a poem satirically saying:

"Look at the Goliaths, how great they are!

They were nomadic barbarians, but they claimed to be the Romans and looked down on other barbarians.

Later, after defeating the Romans, they described themselves as conqueror nations of the sea, land, and sky.

Later, under the influence of the Greeks, they called themselves civilized peoples.

I think they can now call themselves the Underground Peoples, and they have finally led the progress of all mankind from terrestrial civilization to underground civilization. ”

The deputies were furious when they heard the poem and announced that he should be locked up immediately, but were later dissuaded by the court staff: "He has not yet been tried and his jury has not been voted on, and the laws of the republic are like empty paper." ”

The councillor then beat the clerk of the court and said, "You cyrisian fool, he is a Germanic slave who has no citizenship at all, not even a free man, who is not protected by the law, and I will kill him now." ”

As a result, the court clerk was also angry, and the handsome face under his red curls was twisted with anger, and he drew a knife to kill the councilor, and he didn't mention any laws, and the councillor was not to be outdone, and his whole body exploded, revealing the strength of the truth......

Elsewhere, Navy agents and Army agents each led their soldiers in fierce brawls, with their shoulders bare, exposing their strong and well-proportioned muscles, screaming and fighting, they were no different from when they were on the ground, they were all constantly making unbelievable and even ridiculous things in the noise of "stupid army" and "stupid navy".

As for the magicians, they also have Goliath characteristics, they don't have the calmness and indifference of magicians of other peoples, they have to ask everything, they have to take care of everything, and even scold each other for a little difference in philosophy.

"Stupid things, only when the military faction is in power, the position of the mage will be stable!"

Only the rule of the parliamentarians can guarantee the flourishing of spells!

"It's you too conservative, stupid Conservatives, like Hebrew money bags, crackling and not getting in......

The parliamentarians also do not waste time underground, discussing all day long when to go out and when to do something, and then arguing with each other, and no one is convinced.

"It's all damn weather, and this year's consulship election is going to be held in the capital of Arthur Britain, in the newly conquered northwestern Europe. That's Sullo's territory, and if it's in Abidville, we can secretly manipulate the Electoral College, it's disgusting!"

"Bastard, what a newly conquered Europa! That is called "recovering the lost land"! It is called "restoring order in the republic"! It is not called conquest! It is not the territory of Sullius, it is the land of the republic, and Sullo is just a general of the republic, he is not a dictator, let alone an emperor. ”

"That Yagonagus is still committing all kinds of crimes in the land of Abyssinia, completely smearing the image of the republic into a black monster, who is indulging him!"

"It's not us anyway, it's some of the scum in the council, and they don't see them winning with dice all day long!"

"What do you mean? I remember ...... clearly."

The lawmakers ended up scuffling, pouring fists into each other's faces, abdomen, chests, and cursing at each other or teasing each other's families......

It can be seen that the life underground did not make the Goliaths consume, and the Goliaths did not change the traditions of life in the depths of the earth.

The poet once again wrote a satirical poem, and as a result, even the clerk of the court complained about him, looking at him with a Goliath-esque "resentful gaze".

As a result, the poet will face prosecution in court just because of two poems, and if it goes well, he will be hanged for insulting the dignity of others by cooperating in public poetry.

As everyone expected, the storm that would have destroyed Abiwei didn't happen at all, so why did the Goliaths go to such great lengths to build such an underground fortress?

As a result, parliamentarians have begun to blame each other and shirk responsibility for this issue.

"I have long said that such a thing as a big bang is impossible, and the Republic is a kingdom of God under the protection of the Supreme!

"But no one could have predicted this kind of thing when it didn't happen......," whispered the lawmaker who had proposed to hide underground.

The Goliaths, in the midst of the bustling calm, moved back to the ground...... The citizens are very dissatisfied with the toss of the council!

"Didn't these bastards say that there was a catastrophe? and made us all hide underground, delaying a lot of things. Bastard, this year's elections have shifted to Europa, so there will be no free bread to eat. ”

"Yes, yes, if the election of consuls is held in Abidville as is customary, then the parliamentarians will definitely give us a lot of bread, and we only need to vote for the person they appoint, alas, so much bread, how many years of military service can Lao Tzu earn!

"What a pity!"

There are sighs and sighs everywhere, especially among the veterans living in the slums, who have struggled all their lives in exchange for nothing more than a palm-sized piece of settlement. One was not enough space for them to straighten out and lie flat to sleep.

And so, after a few more days, all of a sudden, all the grumblings ceased, and oh, the holy day had arrived.

Whether it's the people arguing over a little profit in the noisy bazaar, or the men and women in the dark alleys who are doing the most primitive acts of human beings, or the people struggling to make ends meet in the slums on the outskirts of a lonely city, they are all neatly dressed and solemn on this day......

The walls of the great square, with the statue of Abiwei straddle the horse and the statue of Sura kneeling with a scripture in one hand and a sword in the other, have long been painted with various propaganda slogans by some factions of the citizens, such as:

"There are two kinds of order, the physical order and the spiritual order. —Sura Abi said cheerfully standing in front of the pile of Germanic corpses.

"An empire or republic must be established by force. —Abiwei summed up to his followers in the face of his defeat.

"Force maintains the order of the flesh, and books maintain the order of the spirit. —a Roman said.

"The whole glory of war is to the man, and the sorrow is all to the woman. On the day of the conquest of Greece, Abivi said sadly as he watched the black smoke rise in the sky and listened to the wolf-like cheers of the Goliath cavalry and the moans of the women.

"He Abiwei was born in Goliath, which is a blessing for the Goliaths, but a misfortune for all races. - said the Roman Emperor on his deathbed.

"I came with a sword and faith. - Abiwei went to the Boyue Palace alone and said to the Boyue Emperor.

"He Abiwei has a book of scriptures in one hand and a murderous sword in the other, and if you believe the scriptures, he will kill you, and you can only resist him. "When the Boyue people revolted, the leader of the rebel army said to the crowd.

"We will conquer the land, we will conquer the sea, we will conquer the sky, and I will conquer our!" – Casaonidó the Goliath

"Build an empire by force, and keep him together by law. It is better to arm the army with faith than with desire. It is better to use knowledge to replace the scriptures than to interpret the scriptures with knowledge! Nations can perish, races can be exterminated, faith cannot be replaced, and traditions cannot be violated. —Abivi

"There may be fifteen thousand nations in the world, and our country rules over ten thousand, and I rule over our country, and my wife, who has long since died, rules over me. —Military Dictator Yagonagus.

"The queen of Macedonia is the mare under his crotch, the Egyptian holy palace is his bedroom, the Scythian witch has an ambiguous relationship with him, and all the women seem to have a relationship with him.

But when it comes to men, even the Germanic people who don't care about the world will hate him, and the Indians who hate cows will not like him, let alone the Goliaths.

To say who that person is, of course, is a military dictator. —a passage written in the diary of an unknown congressman.

Some of these propaganda slogans are decades old, they can't be erased, they are completely integrated with the architecture, but it is true that no one notices them, and the Goliaths are sometimes sluggish.

As more and more people entered, the grand but seemingly casual and simple festival began, starting with the speeches of the councillors.

"We are here today for the great founder of the Republic, the great signatory of the Declaration of Independence, the great conqueror, the great defender of human rights, Abivi.

On that day, he led nearly 300,000 Saint Sect followers to migrate to the south, where the power of the noble city lord was weak, and under the pursuit of the cavalry in the noble city, the followers suffered heavy casualties, and finally less than 30,000 people reached the southern land after a journey of more than 30,000 miles.

But Abivi still proudly declares to the congregants who have experienced the tragic loss of their brothers, that we have nothing but a firm faith, and that the lords of the city have everything, but not this faith, so victory will be ours.

He united with the tribes of the south, surrounded the city with tribes, and finally won the great victory of the revolution on the peninsula......"

The councillors were very hard-working, but the citizens were fighting, they didn't care who this Abiwei was, they were only here because of tradition.

After only a few hours, more and more people were bored and leaving, and although the speeches of the councillors were inflammatory, the Goliaths never liked to hear such things, things that had nothing to do with their interests, and the Goliaths did not remember their heroes in the slightest, because they never lacked heroes of one kind or another.

Goliath, a nation of heroes, should be said to be a nation of careerists, but the careerists of the Goliaths are no different from heroes, they are all under a good banner, and in the end, people find out that they are just a guy who "opens his mouth and closes his mouth full of wars".

In any case, they oppressed them, collected their taxes, demanded their food, and asked them to go to military service and war, and sometimes they were not allowed to slaughter and plunder.

The Goliaths hate this kind of people the most, a civilized person, saying that they can't slaughter the city, they don't know how poor the soldiers at the bottom are.

In many Goliath public cemeteries, epitaphs are usually written like this:

"Hey, my brother, I'm free at last! I don't have to fight all day, and I don't have to pay taxes underground, let the consuls go to hell, oh no, they see the ghosts, and they can't even encourage the demons to fight for them, let the heroes die, it's these kinds of people who make us suffer, otherwise the consuls will take heroes as an example when they say that they want the people to persevere. ”

A nation that has no shortage of heroes? How can it remember what heroes they are, they prefer to be heroes themselves, and then they can't make a lot of money.

They are more concerned about when they can fight, and although they don't really want to fight, they have worked hard all their lives (the courses taught in the compulsory colleges) to just fight and kill people.

A lot of people can't support themselves without fighting.

For example, a group of people in Abyssinia, they can't support themselves if they don't fight, because all their money is spent on recruiting troops, without reservation, Lewis felt a sense of confusion in front of him after looking at Lyuyeino's annual budget.

The land of Abyssinia, where blood has been stained red.

Although Lewis looked at the village in front of him that had been ravaged by his cavalry and infantry brigade with a cold gaze, he unconsciously left a trace of tears in the corner of his eye, and the tragedy was indescribable...... And of course, he was not sad because of the tragedy, but because of the wind and sand.

But the duke beside him thought his heart had softened.

The perpetrator of this tragedy was not the Goliaths, but the Duke of Pisanao, of the Samonai tribe, who had taken refuge in the Goliaths, and who had secretly thrown olive branches at Lewis when he was in a verbal confrontation with the King of Kings at the court of Abyssinia.

The Duke pondered and said, "These untouchables are the descendants of the pure-blooded Hebrew Praetorian Guard, absolutely loyal to the King of kings, and cannot be spared. ”

Lewis chuckled, "Aren't you also a pure-blooded descendant of the Hebrew Praetorian Guard, and you don't necessarily have to be loyal to the King of kings." ”

The Duke laughed grimly, "Ten years ago, when he betrayed our Samonai warriors, he was no longer loyal. ”

The Samonai were a nomadic tribe of the Hebrew people, who had not been accepted by the orthodox Abyssinian aristocracy, and ten years ago they had been exacerbated by the "Raid on the Camp" (at the behest of the Emperor, the Kyoto Forbidden Army attacked the camp of the Samonai archers who had just returned victoriously in the war against the southern peasants), which had completely exacerbated their conflicts.

So when they heard that the Goliaths had won many victories on the battlefields of the northern vassal states of the empire, they finally made a final plan - to join the Goliaths.

The duke is said to be a top powerhouse, Lewis took out his true skills and found that it was true, he could fight in front of Lewis for a long time without defeat, you must know that Lewis has a record of defeating more than a thousand people by one person, even the Norwegian dragon he has tamed, although he Lewis is a magician on the surface, but those who know him know that he is a warrior whose real strength is not in magic.

Lewis was completely capable of fighting ten thousand people alone, and few people knew about this except for Nishizawa Uyi and a few other people around him.
