Chapter 35: The Wolf Is Coming
If you look at the ranking of the elite troops of the empire by the foreign media at that time, the ranking of the Fifth Mountain Division of the Sixth Army is not high, because this team rarely appears in front of the world.
If people who know history must know that during the period of Miller the Great, there was a magical army that swept across the northern hemisphere of the Bruxing and terrified 17 countries on the northern hemisphere continent, but later, for some reason, this magical force known as the "invincible iron wolf division" suddenly disappeared.
It wasn't until the archives of the empire were made public later that it became known that this unit had not disappeared, but had been reorganized into the Sixth Army due to some kind of change, and the 5th Mountain Division was the successor of this Iron Wolf Division.
βTerry's Autobiography, Vol. 20
The vast grassland is already white at this moment, and the first heavy snow on the Yigan Plateau has finally arrived.
In the middle of two small dirt slopes, a small tent with snow-white canvas makes this small tent almost integrated with the surrounding environment.
It's starting to snow, and Terry and Naboo's "hunting" operation can only end there.
Not to mention that in the past few months, the horse bandits have long been frightened under their blows, and they rarely come to this area again, even in the next days when the snow is fluttering, the horse bandits do not dare to come out to rob, after all, no matter how fierce the people, they can't compete with the power of nature.
"Brother Nabu, how far is it from Dangkang Temple here?"
In the tent, Terry asked Nabu beside him as he fiddled with a strange stove.
"Oh! Trezab, it won't be too far, if it weren't for the snow, you could already see the white tops of the Kamputra Snow Mountain. β
Nabu replied casually, but his eyes never took off the strange stove in Terry's hand, as if there was something special about this stove that was attracting his attention.
"Terezab, are you sure this stove can burn without firewood?"
Seeing that Terry fiddled with it for a long time, the stove was still cold, and Nabu couldn't help but ask suspiciously, because Terry had just told him that this boxy little thing could be used to boil water for cooking.
"This ...... I'll try again. β
In fact, Terry was very embarrassed at this time, and in the exchange interface of the system, the introduction of this called "induction cooker" was used to boil water for cooking.
And the method used in the description is also very simple, just press a few switches, and the stove will heat up automatically.
But after Terry redeemed it, no matter how much he fiddled with it, and even used his strength to press the button on the manual, the stove still didn't have any reaction, let alone heated up.
"That's... That system! What's going on here? β
Seeing that he couldn't do anything no matter how much he tossed, the bitter Terry had no choice but to admit defeat, close his eyes and ask about the system.
"Your Excellency, Honorable Inheritor, because you are not plugged in. So it can't start. β
"Ahh
After listening to the system's reply, Terry was embarrassed! He knows what the system means by "power". He had seen this knowledge when he was looking through the materials, but he had only seen it, and when the two things came together, Terry didn't think it was related at all.
"Looks like we're going to have to pay for that kind of device that can generate power."
Terry, who understood what was going on, could only endure the pain and spend more than a hundred gold coins to exchange for a small generator, who let him toss an induction cooker out and pretend to be forced.
"Sudden ......"
When the sound of the engine was heard for the first time in the Igan Plateau, Terry and Nabu finally got their wish and boiled the water.
"It's amazing that you can boil water without lighting a fire. Trezab, are these things from the divine realm? β
For Terry to "conjure" things out of thin air, Nabu is no longer strange at this time, because this is not the first time that Terry has shown such a "miracle" in front of him.
But for what was "changed" this time, Nabu still felt incredible, after all, it subverted his cognition for more than 20 years.
"Hehe, Brother Nabu, hurry up and drink some hot water to warm your body."
Of course, Terry knew where this thing came from, but he couldn't explain it to Nabu, after all, the so-called "science" and "parallel space-time" principles, even if they were told to Nabu, Nabu could only regard them as "myths", so it was better to let Nabu imagine it himself.
"Woo...... Appeal ......"
Just as the two of them were breathing and drinking boiling water, the anxious voices of the two white horses came to Terry's ears, and Terry, who had been dealing with horses for several months, of course heard that this was the perceptive white horse who had discovered the abnormality.
"There is a situation!"
Terry, who heard that something was wrong, quickly turned off the engine and grabbed the assault rifle next to him. He reminded the cloth first, then lifted the curtain and rushed out.
Outside the tent, the snow had stopped, and on the grass, two or three inches of snow had accumulated at the moment, and in the simple stables under the dirt bags next to them, two white horses were constantly snorting in the direction of the east, looking restless.
"Then you go untie the reins? I'll go up there and take a look. β
Terry, who got out of the tent, faintly heard some movement in the east because there was no interference from the sound of the engine at this moment, but it seemed that it was still a little far away, so he relaxed a little, and ordered the cloth that came out closely, and then took out the telescope and climbed the dirt slope.
Although the snow had stopped, the sky was still gloomy, but on the white plains, there was no reflection of sunlight, and Terry could see farther as he climbed on the dirt slope.
In the telescope, about six or seven kilometers away from Tubao, a long line was marching.
The earthy yellow figure is particularly conspicuous on the white snow.
In front of the team, a large flag hunting in the cold wind could be seen clearly in the telescope, and above the blue flag, a black wolf roaring in the sky came to life.
"How is it possible that there are so many Imperial troops here? It looks like there is at least one reinforced division. β
Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Terry sat up, because the distance was so far, Terry was not worried that the other party would be able to find out, but he was very puzzled by the sudden appearance of the imperial army.
"Not good, this force must be going for Major General Oprah."
Looking at the Imperial army in progress again, Terry estimated the direction in which they were heading, and couldn't help but be surprised, although he didn't know where this army came from, the direction they were now advancing was exactly where the basin was located.
"But how could the Empire know that Major General Oprah was in which direction? Do you say ......"
Thinking of a possibility, Terry couldn't sit still any longer, rolled over and slid down the dirt slope, and walked quickly to Nabu.
"Brother Nabu, hurry up and pack up, we must leave immediately."
"Let's go, Trezab, there's no such ideal shelter here, and besides, it's still a few hours before it gets dark......"
"It's too late to wait for tomorrow, Brother Nabu, there's an Imperial army over there heading to the base, and we must hurry up and inform Shaun of them."
Time was pressing, and although the Imperial army was not cavalry, it was only five or six days' walk from the basin, and the two of them had to make a detour, so Terry had to rush back overnight to report the news.
