Chapter 236: Ice and Snow War
Dragon's Nest World, a year later, August 15.
Forgotten Valley.
Time is like flowing water, which seems to be slow on the surface, but beneath the surface of the water, it is actually like a surging torrent, unstoppable. Half a year in the real world, one year in the world of Dragon's Nest, and it flies by in a hurry. And on the plains of the Forgotten Valley, which was originally cold, there were people and horses, and there was a solemn atmosphere.
The first world was only to familiarize the people of the Dragon Valley world with time and space travel, and at the same time, it also had information on the impact of large-scale world travel on the two worlds and the army, so the world level chosen by Qin Shao was not high.
However, the world level is not high, which does not mean that there are not many soldiers and horses gathered.
In this foreign war in which all the forces of the Altria continent were united and launched, the human kingdom recruited a total of 600,000 ordinary soldiers and horses, and 150,000 elite troops, including the knights and priests, for a total of 750,000 soldiers and horses.
As the second largest force in Altria, the elves also sent 100,000 elven warriors, 250,000 elven archers, and a total of 350,000 soldiers and horses to participate in the battle.
The Lotus Swamp is vast and sparsely populated, and most magicians have house attributes, so the soldiers and horses are the least, only 150,000. However, the attack power of the Wizard Legion is the strongest among all legions, and although its number is small, its strength cannot be underestimated!
In addition, there are other races with a small population base and few soldiers, and the races of the good and orderly camp have more or less sent some troops, first, to make their own stands, and secondly, they also want to share some leftovers in the expansion of the territory of the two races of humans and elves.
Although the number of soldiers and horses sent by these races is small, the number of races is large, and if all of them are combined, there are 100,000.
However, Qin Shao would not let them unite and become the fourth major force, so he scattered the armies of these races into the armies of the human kingdom, the elven kingdom, and the lotus swamp, preparing to slowly divide and absorb them, and realize a trial fusion between all the races on the continent of Altria!
And as a result of this fusion, if nothing else, there will be a real disappearance of the hundred tribes in Altria and the coexistence of the two powers!
In the middle of the Valley of Oblivion, on a high platform rising from the ground, the fake fat king, the elven queen, and the former leader of the magician who had not appeared for more than ten years sat solemnly. In front of them, Qin Shao, Nervin, and Kara Qiu faced the army and turned their backs to them.
As the supreme commander of this "Ice and Snow War", Qin Shao stood at the front in a black armor, and Karaqiu and Nervin stood side by side, half a step away from Qin Shao.
With 1,350,000 soldiers and horses neatly lined up in front of you, what kind of majestic scene will it be? Qin Shao's heart was not shocked, but his tone was heroic and passionate: "Some people say that war is evil, and some people say that war is just. But I say, war is glorious! β
"Whether you are a human, an elf, or another race living in the mountains and forests, the moment you take up arms and fight the enemy with a heart of victory or death, you are glorious!"
"At that moment, the people you defended and fought for will not forget you, the land that nurtured your growth and happiness will not forget you, and the sky that drifts through the white clouds and cooking smoke will not forget you!"
"The time and space channel is about to open, and the ice and snow war will eventually come, the moment you step into the other world, please remember, you must remember, because at that time, what you represent is not only yourself, nor the race behind you, but Altria, the first ray of light from the birth to the demise of this continent - the glory of war and civilization rising in the other world!"
"And what you have to remember, and what everyone on the continent has to rememberβyou are Altrians, in life or in death! And the splendor of Arteria will shine in every dark corner of your world until the end of that world! β
"Now, on the fifteenth day of August in the first year of the Holy Age on the Altrian continent, the ice and snow war launched by the Altrians has officially begun!!"
A brilliant light fell from the sky, splitting the Forgotten Valley into two thousands of meters in the sky, and colorful colors emerged from the shattered places, like a brilliant rain of light, scattered into the Forgotten Valley, hovering around the bodies of each soldier.
The next moment, under the gaze of the fat king and others, the 1.35 million army disappeared in an instant, and when they looked up again, Qin Shao and the others disappeared without a trace.
It's as if everything just now was just a grand dream.
β¦β¦β¦
There are no fairy tales in Hans Christian Andersen's world, just as there are no fairy tales in the world of fairy tales.
The Kingdom of Arendelle, a kingdom consisting of a small city and surrounding villages. The territory is vast, but 99 percent of the territory is covered by snow and ice, and the population of 150,000 is unevenly distributed over this 150,000 square kilometers.
Population density, one person per square kilometer!
A standard football field has an area of 7,140 square meters, and one square kilometer is 1,000,000 square meters, which is 140 football fields.
In other words, one Arendelle has one hundred and forty football fields!
The small city is also a royal city, with no more than 30,000 inhabitants, surrounded by mountains and clear waters, beautiful but not lonely.
Because of its remote location and little contact with the outside world, the inhabitants of the kingdom of Arendelle are very simple. And because of the abundance of ice needed by the Southern Kingdom, Arendelle's commercial trade was very prosperous, which also created the special status of the Arundelle Kingdom on the continent - far from war!
Looking north from the tallest tower of Arendelle Palace, the Arctic ice fields are visible under the beautiful aurora borealis. It is a haven for magical creatures and the source of finance for the kingdom of Arendelle.
Today's Arctic ice sheet is clearly a bit unusual...... No, not somewhat, but very unusual!
Polar bears panicked and ran deeper into the Arctic ice field, wild reindeer scurried around in restlessness, and ice and snow elves flew in the sky, rising and falling irregularly like drunken old men.
A group of Arendelles mining ice looked up nervously at the sky and beyond, as they remembered that the Arctic ice field hadn't seen in years.
The last time this was seen, snow and ice had fallen for two years in Arendelle. Two years later, the sun reappeared in the sky of Arendelle and the queen gave birth to a princess for the king.
"What will it be this time?" The people of Arendelle, who mined the ice, couldn't help but think so.
Snow is common near the North Pole, and as long as the harbor is not frozen, making it impossible for merchant ships to travel or dock, Arendelle, who was born in the bitter cold and dies in the bitter cold, does not care how long the snow will fall that day.
"Uncle, uncle, what's that?" At this time, a little boy of five or six years old in the crowd asked with big innocent eyes and chubby little fingers pointing to the north.
The little boy was an orphan named Kstorf, and he had a friend, a lost little reindeer, whom he called St.
A man heard Kostov's question, laughed with his companion and looked absentmindedly in the direction of Kostov's finger, and the next moment, he fell into the ice cave that had just been hit.
At the same time, not far from here, a cavalry of about 5,000 men rushed towards it, and it was like thunder. If you rise to a height of 1,000 meters and look down from above, you can see that on both flanks of this group of soldiers and horses, a cavalry is outflanking these Arendelles.
Fifty kilometers behind these three cavalry, there were flags and horns, and the army that could not be seen at a glance even gave people the feeling that the Arctic ice fields were completely covered.
Above the flag, hundreds of ships were suspended in the sky, and the ship's weapons emitted green light, like the fangs of a hideous beast, which was intimidating!
When the man's companion hurriedly scooped up the man, the three cavalry had already formed a closed momentum and marched to a hundred meters away from the group. A knight who looked like an officer rode up to several people and said in a cold voice, "This is the territory of the Arendel Kingdom?" β
The lingua franca of the world of Dragon Valley is Chinese, while the lingua franca of the ice and snow world is English.
Fortunately, Qin Shao has already popularized English, Russian and other languages in the army, and the cultivators have excellent memory, and some simple conversations, the soldiers of the Dragon Valley World can still carry out normal conversations.
Although the words were a little lame, the Arendelle people still understood the question of the officer opposite, and looking at the long sword at the man's waist, the leaders of several Arundelles stammered: "Yes...... This is the territory of the Kingdom of Arendelle. β
"Where is the city of Arendelle?" The officer asked again.
The leader raised his trembling hand and said, "Dong...... Thirty kilometers to the southeast. β
"Now you have two choices, return to the camp with me, or...... Die! β
The leader looked back at his companions and asked with his eyes whether it would be a battle or a surrender, and the companions responded with idiotic glances and said in unison: "We are willing to return to the camp with the general." β
So, half an hour later, a group of six people, plus a child and a reindeer, were escorted to Qin Shao and the others.
"Kostov." Qin Shao looked at the little boy in front of him and said in an affirmative tone.
"You...... How do you know me? Kstorff wondered.
The child's world is innocent and forgetful, and at this time, Kostoff forgot that the people in front of him were all outsiders with bad intentions, and he also forgot the beautiful creatures behind Qin Shao who only existed in legends.
Qin Shao didn't answer the question: "You are a good chess piece, or, this ice and snow world, it is not bad for you, a native human, to manage it on the bright side." β
Kerstorf bit his finger and pouted, "You haven't told me yet, how did you know my name!" Do you know my mom and dad? β
Qin Shao touched Kstorf's little head and said gently: "From today on, this military camp will be your home." β
