Chapter 404: The Eighteen Kingdoms of the Northern Regions
Are they all dead?
Wang Shou thought of a terrible possibility.
But he immediately put away this method, it was impossible, even if the army of the Holy Alliance was mad, it would be absolutely impossible to slaughter the entire people of the Far Eastern Prairie!
At this moment, Wang Shou suddenly thought of the Holy Alliance's move when he had just entered the Far Eastern Prairie.
Almost every tribe you go to is to exterminate the tribe you reach. For those people, it seems that there is no humanity at all.
In their eyes, life seems to be just a pile of mustard.
"That child of light will always leave, we will develop here, and one day we will return to counterattack!"
The isolated island hangs overseas, and it is not easy to counterattack outward.
On top of that, the Holy Alliance didn't know that there was an island in this place. If there was only one island, I am afraid that a large army would have been sent to wipe this place out long ago. All the people regarded the king's words as a utopia. It's not easy for them to make a living. Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but be silent for a while.
Again, it's a great thing to be alive. After all, compared to the rest of the clansmen, those clansmen are no longer there.
"Chief, we found another island on the other side of the island!"
A Wang Jun said excitedly.
"What? There are other islands? That's a good thing, find me, find a few more islands. In this way, we will have the opportunity to expand!"
The king said happily.
The island they are on is still too small. This island can barely accommodate 200,000 people, but once it multiplies, the population must be more than these 200,000. So if you want to be strong, it's obviously not that simple.
The most important link is the land. If there is no land, it is probably useless for many people, because there is no place to feed.
He even decided that every once in a while he would send a group of people back to the Far Eastern Prairie quietly, and then they would settle down on the Far Eastern Prairie and wait for the people on the island to counterattack.
......
In the Eighteen Kingdoms of the Northern Regions, Qin Ming finally found a living Holy Alliance soldier.
Qin Ming hurriedly stepped forward, and with a stroke of light-based healing magic, the wound on his abdomen was directly restored intact. The dying soldier of the Holy Alliance suddenly became alive.
"Say, what the hell is going on!"
Now Qin Ming just wants to know what happened inside.
For him, Atumu's life and death are very important to him.
"We encountered a force of elephant soldiers with heavy losses. ”
The soldier hurriedly spoke.
In Qin Ming's memory, it seems that there are no elephant soldiers in the eighteen countries of the Northern Regions.
But where did these elephants come from, did they come out of thin air?
Qin Ming absolutely didn't believe it. Of course, maybe the memory is too long, and Qin Ming's memory is a little thin.
In fact, there are elephant soldiers, but Qin Ming forgot about it for a while.
However, this is not so simple and easy for Qin Ming.
"Let's go, let's take a look!"
Qin Ming rushed directly with more than a dozen Sacred Domain powerhouses, and every second counted.
Sure enough, after continuing to push north for hundreds of miles, Qin Ming finally discovered the banner of the Holy Alliance.
It is a city surrounded by snow and ice. But there are still some huge footprints left on the snow and ice. These footprints are obviously not left by ordinary animals. Seeing this, Qin Ming understood that this must have been left by the elephant soldier in the soldier's mouth just now.
But looking at these footprints, the number of these elephant soldiers is probably quite large. Qin Ming just made a rude calculation, the number of this elephant soldier is probably in the millions.
Millions of elephants, it's unimaginable. The elephants of this world are not the elephants of the previous life for people to see. This elephant is a kind of magical beast, but this magical beast can be domesticated, just like the mount of the Crusader of the Holy See of Light in the beginning.
However, the grade of these elephants is much worse than the original crusade mounts, only the level of a fourth-level demonic beast. But even if it is a fourth-level demonic beast, this number is not small, you know, fourth-level demonic beasts, this is a very terrifying existence.
Of the millions of troops led by Atumu, there are probably no more than one million people who can have combat power above level 4. And the impact of these elephants is very terrifying. Coupled with the fact that the Holy Alliance's cavalry was not equipped with special horseshoes, the Holy Alliance's mounts could not last long on the icy snow layer of the Eighteen Kingdoms of the Northern Regions.
At this moment, Qin Ming couldn't help but suddenly think of Napoleon at the beginning, wasn't it because of the cold that he failed when he attacked the north? But since Qin Ming came, he would not become the second Napoleon. For Qin Ming, the Eighteen Kingdoms of the Northern Regions were basically in his pocket.
In the middle of the city, Atumu had a sad face, and kept sending wood into the furnace. They completely underestimated the cold of the Eighteen Kingdoms of the Northern Regions, even if they prepared cotton clothes, they still couldn't withstand the cold here. Some of the ordinary soldiers who stood guard stood guard and stood outside for only half an hour before they were frozen into ice.
For them, this is unimaginable. The temperature here is always lower than the minimum temperature that the human body can tolerate. And along with it, there is snow blindness. The existence of snow blindness, so that their eyes can't see anything, is the most deadly.
But fortunately, they captured a city in one fell swoop, and now they can only shrink into the city. Originally, there was a lot of food in the city, but the army of nearly two million people had been entrenched here for a month and a half, and even a super granary was probably empty.
Today's food is probably only enough for an army of two million to eat for five days. If you can't think of another way within five days. The only thing that awaits them is death. What's more, the firewood here is almost gone, and the army has begun to demolish the houses at this moment.
But fortunately, most of those houses are wooden, and they can hold on for a while.
The walls of the Ice and Snow City are very strong, not to mention the elephant soldiers, even the powerhouses of the Sacred Domain may not be able to break through, not to mention, there is no existence of the Sacred Domain powerhouses in the eighteen countries of the Northern Regions.
Even if there were, I'm afraid there were only one or two people, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from above the main hall.
"General, you've worked hard!"
When Atumu heard this, he was stunned, why was this voice so familiar.
At this point, he suddenly thought of something.
"Your Highness?"
He turned around, and it was Qin Ming who appeared behind him.
I saw Atumu hurriedly kneeling.
"Your Highness, my subordinates are incompetent, and in the past three months, I haven't even captured the Eighteen Kingdoms of the Northern Regions, which only have the land of projectiles, it's a shame!"
When Qin Ming heard this, he opened his mouth to reassure.
"The general doesn't have to blame himself, the main responsibility lies with me. It was my misjudgment of the temperature and environment here that led to the rash arrival of the army of the Eighteen Kingdoms of the Northern Regions!"
Qin Ming said slowly.
Atumu didn't say anything when he heard this, but the shame on his face still didn't disappear.
He knew that this was just Qin Ming comforting him with words. The main responsibility for this lies with oneself. If it weren't for his own problem, how could he not be able to attack for a long time, if it was His Highness who led the team, maybe the Eighteen Kingdoms of the Northern Regions would have been in the bag of the Holy Alliance a long time ago!
"Your Highness, you don't need to comfort me. ”
Qin Ming looked at the group of ascetics who were still dressed in single clothes around him, and suddenly said with some doubts.
"Aren't you cold?"
Qin Ming could see that these ascetics were using their bodies to resist the cold here. If you don't use the power in your body to resist, I'm afraid that even the powerhouses of the Holy Domain will be very painful, and they won't be able to hold it at all.
"Accustomed to it, the meaning of our existence is to endure all the hardships of the world. Experiencing all the sufferings of the world is our goal in life. ”
"What is the greatest suffering?"
Qin Ming said slowly.
"Die!"
The ascetic gave Qin Ming's answer.
When Qin Ming heard this, he finally understood. No wonder these ascetics don't take death seriously at all.
It turns out that in their hearts, death is an experience. They believed that they had ten lives and were blessed by the god of light.
Death is just a journey!
However, Qin Ming didn't have this kind of thought.
"Otherwise, a few of you, let's put on cotton clothes!"
Qin Ming continued to speak.
"His Highness the Holy Son doesn't have to care about us, under this kind of cold tempering, it is something we can't ask for!"
The ascetic continued.
What you can't ask for?Qin Ming was dumbfounded.
However, Qin Ming didn't continue to speak, he saw that these ascetics were all tendons, no matter what you said, they wouldn't change.
Since this was the case, Qin Ming didn't say much.
"If I help you level the elephant soldiers, can you take down the Eighteen Kingdoms of the Northern Regions!"
Qin Ming said slowly.
"If Your Highness is willing to give me this opportunity, I am willing to make a military order, and I will definitely be able to recover the entire Eighteen Kingdoms of the Northern Regions. ”
"Good!"
Qin Ming nodded.
When Qin Ming knew that it was only a few million elephant soldiers who were blocking them, he immediately let go of his thoughts.
For him, the magician was the natural enemy of these elephants.
The elephants looked powerful and had a turret on their backs.
However, this is of no use to Qin Ming.
Qin Ming could use the divine summon, and Zhao sent out a group of angels to come out. Those angels are both excellent warriors and great magicians.
Some light group attack magic can be useful in this situation.
"It's a deal!"
......
Qin Ming did not let these ascetics follow, let them stay in the main hall, and ordered them to wear cotton clothes.
They are not afraid of death, and they can go to death at any time. But now that Qin Ming has more places to employ people, if they die, wouldn't they be sacrificed in vain.
So for Qin Ming, they must not die.
After the unification of the Magnolia Continent, these people are still important.
So, under everyone's gaze, Qin Ming went directly to the north with his back alone.
Qin Ming noticed that the elephant soldiers were among several small cities of considerable size in the north.
Many elephants are not able to enter the city at all, and have to be kept outside the city. There was feces and urine everywhere, and the stench was terrible.
Qin Ming didn't hide himself at all, so when Qin Ming had just arrived in the sky above the elephant soldiers, many people had already discovered Qin Ming.
So the elephant soldiers immediately formed a formation and waited for it.
But when they found out that Qin Ming was the only one who came, they were immediately very disdainful.
Immediately, an old man dressed like an ancient person who looked like a blue star tens of thousands of years ago slowly walked out.
"Are you here to surrender? We can't afford to feed you shit. Leave your gear and horses behind, and you're good to go. Otherwise, the elephant soldiers behind you won't let you go!"
When Qin Ming heard this, he didn't rush to make a move, which was a little puzzled.
"I can give you the equipment, but without the horses, wouldn't it be a dead end for us?"
When the old man heard this, he saw that he had really come to surrender, so he immediately spoke.
"You are the aggressors, and I don't care if you live or die? Otherwise, let my ten thousand elephant soldiers strike and destroy you all!"
The old man seemed to be speaking very fiercely, but Qin Ming could see that this old man was actually lacking in confidence.
Qin Ming looked around and immediately understood everything. These elephant soldiers are indeed brave, but the daily consumption of food is also a sky-high price.
In the usual deep winter, elephants are usually kept together, so that they only need to feed one meal for two days, because they do not consume much physical energy. But now in battle, these elephants have to eat five meals a day.
In the past three months, these millions of elephants have eaten up all the food accumulated by the eighteen countries in the Northern Regions for thousands of years.
If it weren't for the cold climate of the Eighteen Kingdoms in the Northern Regions, the grain would be conducive to preservation, and it would not deteriorate even for thousands of years. Otherwise, I am afraid they would have been defeated long ago.
These eighteen countries in the Northern Regions have probably already become Qin Ming's bag.
So this old man should want to take advantage of this opportunity to extort a sum of money. But obviously, this can't deceive Qin Ming.
"If you don't agree, then we'll have to fight to the death!"
Qin Ming pretended to be dead.
This look suddenly scared the old man.
If they fight to the death, they may not be able to win, and even if they win, they may be a miserable victory.
"Wait, you can take the horses with you, but the equipment must be left!"
The old man changed his tune.
Seeing this, Qin Ming suddenly spoke.
"I've changed my mind now, and I'm going to take the equipment with me!"
"You..."
The old man was angry for a while, he didn't expect Qin Ming to be so shameless.
"Okay, I'll let you all take it away, but you have to promise me that you won't be allowed to invade the Eighteen Kingdoms of the Northern Regions in the future!"
Qin Ming heard this.
"I've changed my mind again, let's fight a war, in case I destroy the eighteen kingdoms of your Northern Regions!"
So far, how can this old man not understand that Qin Ming is obviously playing tricks on him.
"Boy, you're looking for death!"
"I think it's you who are looking for death, divine calling!"
As Qin Ming's voice fell, more than a hundred angel gates suddenly appeared above the sky.
The feeling of carrying an army with you is simply not too cool!
