Chapter 658: Return
In a sense, Northland is probably the least inhabitable part of the world.
For more than a year, there are only two seasons, spring and winter, and the spring can be used as winter in other regions, and one-third of the year is in the ice period of continuous ice and snow, and the land is barren and everything withers...... But it's my hometown.
During the day, you can hear the howling wind, and the cold wind without the obstruction of forest vegetation freezes people shivering, and the cold wind during the day is just cold, and the night wind at night can really kill...... But it's still my hometown.
Winter wolves, snowmen, and ferocious bears, these beasts that have been demonized and thrown into the forests of other regions of the continent can probably play and dominate, but in the north, this is the most common beast, and it is normal to hear the roar of hungry beasts in the middle of the night, and the most headache is to hear the roar of the dragon, which often means that a group of hungry white dragons are too close to the human residence...... Living in such a hometown, new adventurers simply can't survive.
Avalanches, hailstorms, blizzards, frosts, droughts, bitter colds, tornadoes, snow disasters, probably except for the heat and floods, the people who live in this land have become accustomed to all natural disasters, and as time passes, the inhabitants of this land have found the advantages of this land as if they were having fun.
The cold weather of the barren land makes those greedy nobles unable to stand the harshness here, compared to those nobles who enjoy life in the interior, the lords who still choose to live on this land are in the style of ancestral knight lords, they are not only the masters of this territory, but also the guardians of the inhabitants of this land.
Lack of supplies and dangerous external environment. Let the people here have become accustomed to huddles for warmth. And the threat of aliens and monsters. Let the Northland people get used to protecting themselves with their own hands, here is rich in warriors and excellent soldiers, but also rich in true warriors who know how to sense of community and self-sacrifice, the Northland people have always been regarded as a barbarian nation by the entire human society, but they are also a fighting nation without strong blood power.
In this land, the noble character and the weight of the bearing are not ethereal and beautiful words, but the innate temperament of a Northlander. That's because in this icy and snowy land, banishment and isolation are equal to death, in the face of cruel natural tests, lies and cowards are impossible to get through every time, honor and loyal reputation are necessary to survive, and the real Northland brave who stand out in the elimination will become the pillars and protectors of their relatives and villagers, and cowards and big talkers will eventually die in shame.
ββ¦β¦ The first snow of the year came really early. β
Even lying on the slowly advancing battleship, the cold of the northern land still made the frail patient very uncomfortable, rubbing his hands and spitting out white mist. But the familiar coldness inexplicably refreshes people's spirits.
"Your Highness. This is the fourth snow of the year. β
The young squire's words revealed some fresh information, I was stunned at first, after all, this area is really familiar to me, and the falling snow often represents the advent of winter, the distribution of winter food, the organization of winter hunting teams and other winter preparations must be completed before, once the schedule is messed up, heavy snow will greatly hinder the construction period, and I have no reason to remember the time point of the winter snow period, normally it will take at least two weeks before the first heavy snow falls.
The dead cat jumped on my shoulder, and the attendants instinctively took a half step back when they saw her, she had been my bodyguard all this time, and with the fall of those Transcendent assassins, "Summoning the Ominous Black Cat", "The Death Cat in Captivity in the Eternal Night", and "The Ominous in the Shadows" have been declared to be invigorated.
The most popular rumor now is that this black cat is probably a god/demon lord/reaper-level undead disguised as a cat star, devouring hundreds of souls every day.
"Snowy Mountain."
Her words were very simple, but after a brief period of confusion, I made up for the lack of logical plates.
I inquired with the attendants, and unsurprisingly learned some facts, confirming that since five or six years ago, winter in the Northland has come earlier and later, and winter has become colder and colder.
"Elemental Plane......"
The Great Snow Mountain, which is full of ice and snow monsters, is completing the sharp transformation of its own ice and snow elemental plane, and although it is in the no-man's land mountains of the Northland, because the plane link has not been interrupted, the ice and snow element that seeps out is enough to make the cold Northland colder and colder.
In a sense, this makes the Northlands more uninhabitable, but in the current situation where the Great War is approaching, it is not necessarily a bad thing.
The demons' biggest weapons are probably their powerful bodies and abundant magic power, even if they don't consider the innate restraint of the ice on the flame attribute, the heat will be lost at a high rate in the low temperature environment, and the powerful body and magic power that rely on instinct to fight will become the source of their huge consumption.
Consumption can be replenished by food, but if you want to hunt in the winter in the Northlands, you must first find the prey, and even if you eat the beasts in the mountains, I am afraid that it will not be enough to eat the amazing demon Big-Bellied Han.
"Maybe you can take advantage of ......."
Seeing this situation, I have some thoughts again, maybe the elemental creatures of the Great Snow Mountain Demon Realm can participate in the construction of the defense line of the entire Northland, maybe we can artificially guide this natural cold defense line, but if it is to be realized, it probably needs to be considered more.
As I pondered, we had fully entered the Northlands, while the three giant ships of the New Polaris fleet began to disband, and the New Polaris continued north, heading north to the nameless capital of the Lanmeng, Difender, the Giantgate went to the industrial base of Sluvwell for repairs, and the Greedy Wolf went to the regions of the Ciro Empire for repairs and personnel replacements.
In a sense, a fleet, the construction and maintenance sites of each large and super battleship are not together is the only one in this world, but the foundation of the Lan Alliance is here, and in the past few years, it is very reluctant for a shipyard to be able to build a giant ship, and if they are all piled together, no base can afford it.
Yes, our new Polaris fleet is only half back, after all, the Elf's journey continues. Press that walk-and-go speed. Even if it's all the way unimpeded. It's been at least a year since I arrived in the Northland.
We originally planned to escort all the way, but when the convoy became slower and slower, and this travel schedule came out, our fleet could not afford to consume, and the countries of the Lan Alliance could not afford to wait, especially now that the Demon Abyss had a new movement, and the whole world had entered a sensitive period of holy war, so. Leaving half of the fleet to continue the escort mission, we returned with three battleships first.
And these three giant warships are not empty-handed, the seriously injured and the special talents urgently needed in the north are among them, and the high-level of the elven empire is also half of it, they have to hurry up and do a good job in the preliminary work, site selection, city building, expelling beasts, preparing for war and other trivial and important preliminary work, giving them a year may not be enough.
The situation on the convoy side should not be much of a problem, the official diplomatic notes of the countries along the way have been completed, and according to the new plan, the new Polaris is in the Lanmeng. After the Giant Gate and the Greedy Wolf have completed the personnel replacement and repair, they will go again with the food and medicine that the elf convoy urgently needs. The other four ships will return to the Northland with the wounded to complete the rotation, and then there will be several rotations depending on the situation, but the convoy side will keep two ships on duty.
This journey will be very hard, but it will be very important for the future Northland Elves, but with the support of Lan Meng, this difficult journey is not only a test for the elves, but also an opportunity for the elves to merge.
Fusion, or communication and mingling, is not only the fusion within the elf race, but also the fusion of the nascent Northland Elf Empire and the Lan Alliance, and the fusion of humans and elves.
In a sense, the catastrophe is not without benefit, at least, it tears apart the old rules and ideas, the reserve and arrogance of the old masters, and gives a race a chance to re-understand the world.
This road will be very difficult, they will pass through half the continent of human countries, see with their own eyes the way of life and cultural society that they regard as barbarians, will be close to several war zones, see cruel holy wars and heroic warriors, and with the return of the elven imperial power, with the extreme deterioration of the situation on the continent, countless wild elven races will take the initiative to join this journey, every day new information is causing the entire elven race to explode consciousness and concept conflict.
I'm looking forward to what the elves will gain from this journey, what they will understand, what they will gain, what they will lose, what they will give up, and what they will awaken to.
Of course, I have a lot of things in my hands, and I don't have much energy to care about the elves......
"I said, it's all here, I won't run away, I'm the former prince of Lan Kingdom, it's better to understand my responsibilities, trust me a little"
I'm a little helpless, since I regained my mobility, I've been accompanied by at least four attendants of the Lan royal family, reporting to Renee at designated points, like guarding a fugitive.
"Please allow us to point out the error in your words, Your Highness, you are still the prince of Languo, and Your Majesty Renee has also promised that the door of the Languo royal family will always be open for you."
Although what you said was touching, the emotions in your words were very sincere, and your expressions were in place, why did you come one meter closer and send one to stand outside the house and block the door? I said I wouldn't run, didn't you believe it?
Looking at the nervous young attendants, I shook my head helplessly and gave up my intention to deal with them.
"You scared both of you into the emergency room, and the head of the guard was so nervous that he was about to jump ship, and he said he didn't care?"
"Tsk, that's because they're undertrained, I'm helping Renee train them."
The first two days they were too close, which made me a little unhappy...... I know they're kind, but I don't really blame me, there are two strong men behind the toilet, and when I wake up, the faces of several macho men are in front of me It's too disgusting, and after being disgusted a few times, I did a little prank.
Suddenly disappearing, suddenly screaming, suddenly laughing, suddenly shouting that there are assassins...... It is worth mentioning that the assassin really jumped out of the two assassins, and it turned out that they were discovered by me...... Ahem, well, I'll admit that these actions are a little childish and boring, but they work...... The effective result is that Renee waved her pen, the number of onlookers doubled directly, and she also rotated in three shifts, and put on a smiling face as soon as she met, which made people feel like coaxing an old child, am I so naΓ―ve.
"Tsk, I really didn't plan to slip away, why didn't anyone believe it?"
ββ¦β¦ Who left such a big stall as Lanmeng and walked away for eight years, and in the end, the bounty became the top few in the world and did not come back. Who still writes cheekily every year, asking for the salary of the Lanmeng government, but never works". β
"Who is it? It's that bastard who is so shameless as a paycheck thief. It's really enviable...... I mean shameless! β
I'm going to talk about other things, but this time I don't really want to go, because there are some things that really have to be done in the Northlands.
"In the Magic Sword Northland, only this land of ice and snow can give birth to this Sword of Natural Calamity......"
Behind me, the room was also white, the misty space was colder than the outside, the lifelike ice sculptures recorded the desperate situation of the Northland, the memories of the past were awakened little by little, but my sword of the Northland was just beginning. (To be continued.) )
