Dark night, heavy snowfall.

A dazzling light fell from the sky, and a large war airship roared through the clouds and descended to a low altitude of only more than 100 feet from the headquarters building of the Ministry of Supervision.

The cold wind frantically slapped the huge hull of the airship, and a layer of dim light on the shell of the airship lit up, and the cold wind dissipated out of thin air when it touched the ghostly light, without causing any effect on the airship.

Changing into a new uniform, wrapped in a dark gray army winter coat and a large-brimmed hat buttoned on her head, Joe leaned over and shivered slightly, and followed Saria to the roof of the building.

After sacrificing Bavaria, Joe has been given rudimentary frost control, and his anti-freeze ability has been essentially transformed.

But he is not afraid of the cold physically, and psychologically he is still full of fear of this cold climate.

"What an unlucky weather!" Joe complained loudly after Sallian.

"It's unlucky weather." Salian said without looking back: "In the past, in this kind of weather, the Imperial Army could basically only lie on their stomachs in the barracks. But Lucia, as well as the Plateau Empire, their warriors will always take advantage of the coldest time of the climate to launch surprise attacks. ”

Dozens of huge pillars of light from the war airship illuminated the roof of the headquarters building of the Ministry of Supervision, Qiao stood on the roof of the building, looked down, dozens of pillars of light shone down, and he didn't leave any shadow on the snow.

"Interesting." The cold wind howled all around, deafening. Joe yelled loudly, "Let's take this thing to the Rann Corridor?" This thing isn't much faster than a war horse, right? ”

"Less nonsense!" Salian waved his hand vigorously, and then soared straight into the air.

Salian seemed to have turned into a light dandelion, and under the entanglement of a wisp of wind, it flew lightly, drew an arc in the air, and accurately drilled into the airship's pod.

Joe was stunned, nodded to the crowd behind him, and then stomped hard.

'Bang'!

Large snowflakes splashed, and Joe jumped straight up more than 100 feet high, like a stone bullet spewed out by a catapult, and flew straight into the pod.

Marcos, Lan Hibiscus, Lan Kikyo, Mr. Si Gengs, and a large group of family guards rushed over at noon, and they all jumped on the airship by means of patrolling around the Supervision Department all afternoon.

Joe was going to bring it over, and there were only a few people he could bring it over.

Running into the pod, Qiao looked around curiously for a while, then walked behind a glass window, and looked at the imperial capital outside through the half-foot-thick crystal glass.

"I've followed His Highness Salian to fight bloody battles for the empire, and I'm no longer in the imperial capital, so there must be any chaos here, but it has nothing to do with me, right?"

A colonel's officer pulled the oval door of the pod shut, and then shook a small bell hanging next to the door, and the airship let out a sharp 'poof' sound in the sound of the bell, and then quickly rose into the sky.

'Sneer~Snort~Snort~'!

The airship came to an altitude of nearly 30,000 feet above the ground.

Qiao suddenly stayed here.

30,000 feet above the ground, thousands of miles are cloudless, and there is no trace of noisy cold wind. The heavy dark clouds were all below the airship, well, higher above, there was also a thin layer of faint clouds that stretched out like a sponge, far away.

Through the thin layer of clouds, Muteste's round, clean, radiant face could be seen.

Compared to the ground, the moon seen in the sky was much rounder, and it was several times larger, and the moonlight was even brighter, and the silver-white moonlight sprinkled down like water waves, illuminating the heavy dark clouds below the airship were plated with a layer of silver.

For the first time in his life, Joe had seen such a strange sight.

He stood by the window, his forehead pressed against it, his gaze straight at the incredible grandeur of the scene outside.

Salian walked over with a thin cigarette in his mouth and handed one to Joe, "How is it?" First time seeing? Young people should go to more places, appreciate more scenes that ordinary people can't see, and experience more things that ordinary people can't experience. ”

"So, when you are old and dying, you can only sit in a rocking chair, gather by the fire, and take a nap with your old cat in your arms...... At least you won't regret wasting your life. ”

"At the very least, you can comfort yourself by saying that I've been here, I've been wonderful, I've lived a brilliant life, not ...... Simple, walking dead, lived! ”

Joe winked at Salian, took out a match, and lit a cigarette for himself: "That sounds very charming. ”

Salian shrugged: "What Your Majesty Grandmother said, I don't have so many feelings. ”

Joe glanced out the window.

Two swans...... That's right, it's two swans, Joe's eyesight is excellent now, especially at night, his eyesight is better than during the day, I don't know how many times. Although they were more than ten miles away, Joe could still see clearly that they were two swans with white feathers and fat bodies.

It's a couple, right?

I don't know what kind of disease they have, but in this cold winter, they actually flew to such a place!

"Those are two ......," Joe swallowed and foamed.

"If you have read the edition compiled by the Imperial Ministry of Education twelve years ago, "Children's Picture Recognition Enlightenment Education Picture Book (Bird Edition)", you will know that the flight altitude of swans in nature can be ranked among the top ten." Salian smiled, quietly damaging Joe.

Joe rolled his eyes: "So, you must have walked a lot of places, seen a lot of scenery, and experienced a lot of things?" ”

Salian spat out a smoke ring, leaned against the bulkhead of the pod, and nodded vigorously.

"Ah, this, it's not that I'm bragging. I joined the Imperial Army at the age of thirteen, and followed the field army to fight with the Lucians with bayonets in the Rule Plain, and in the southwest mountains, I bombarded the mountain bandits' cottages with mortars, and I also led people to infiltrate the plateau and attacked and killed several Golden Ring chiefs of the Plateau Empire. ”

"Of course, this little thing, there is nothing to brag about."

Salian smiled with a hint of smugness: "As the imperial grandson of the empire, I also led the imperial diplomatic mission and traveled around the countries of Metland for five years...... I've seen a lot of incredible landscapes, I've seen a lot of amazing people, I've experienced a lot of ...... Magnificent things. ”

"For example?" Joe looked at Salian curiously: "What impressed you the most, the people, and the things?" ”

Salian's eyes drifted for a moment.

He took a deep breath, and the thin cigarette was instantly hit by his head in one breath.

He held the smoke in his lungs for a long, long time, and then slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke, and he also leaned over to the glass window, his forehead pressed against the glass window, because the bridge of his nose was so high that it was much higher than Joe's.

"It can only be the Principality of Thousand Lakes, right?" Salian muttered to himself.

Then, he suddenly rolled his eyes and punched Joe hard in the belly: "Bastard, are you going to probe into the privacy of your boss like this?" You have to be glad that you are not in the army now, or I will let you run a hundred miles of cross-country running for me in this hellish weather with your bare ass and a frozen dead boar on your back! ”

Joe rolled his eyes helplessly and shrugged his shoulders.

Is it for you to inquire?

Didn't you suddenly arouse this topic out of your own inexplicable interest?

However, the Principality of a Thousand Lakes?

Joe snapped his mouth.

The name of this country is somewhat familiar to him. The Duchy of a Thousand Lakes, deep in the mountains west of the port of Tulum, is a small duchy with a population of less than 30 million, and is known as the "most beautiful principality in Medland".

There are more than 9,900 small and strange lakes in a small principality, and the scenery is extremely charming.

What's more, because of the large number of lakes and streams in the Principality of Thousand Lakes, there are many top gold sand mines, many top natural crystal mines, and several rare magic metal veins, and at the same time, it is rich in all kinds of aquatic rare medicinal herbs.

So this is a rich principality.

The nobles of the Principality of Thousand Lakes have to import a large number of luxury goods from the port of Tulun every year, but all those who cannot be self-sufficient in their own country are food, clothing, housing, use, transportation, etc., and even beautiful slaves from other continents......

The Principality of a Thousand Lakes is a great patron of the port of Tulum.

"That's a very rich ...... A rich principality. Joe muttered his impression of the Duchy of a Thousand Lakes.

"A home encroached upon by a bunch of shameless villains." Salian's face was very ugly, he looked at Qiao with a solemn gaze, and said coldly: "Qiao, the Duchy of Thousand Lakes has been invaded by a group of shameless villains...... It is a place of sin that should be thoroughly washed away with blood and fire......"

"I firmly believe that sooner or later, the punishment from fate will turn into countless cannonballs, completely erasing them from this continent!"

Salian gritted his teeth and muttered in a somewhat hideous whisper.

Qiao felt a chill all over his body, and the hairs on his body stood on end—the crimson instinct told him that at this moment, Salian was really thinking about a plan to completely cleanse the entire Thousand Lakes Principality.

His heart was filled with an unforgettable ...... 'hatred' for the Principality of Thousand Lakes!

Joe raised an eyebrow, well, the Principality of Thousand Lakes.

A small principality with a size of no more than 30 million people, the Duchy of Thousand Lakes is remembered by the imperial grandson of the Delun Empire. The day Salian ascends to the throne will be the moment when the punishment of fate will turn into cannonballs and fall from the sky, right?

Unlucky kid!

The airship shuddered slightly, and the massive hull began to tilt downward, and with the harsh whistling of steam, the airship accelerated, and crashed headlong into the thick dark clouds below.

After about half an hour of passing through the thick clouds, a mountain range appeared below.

Looking down from the air, this mountain range is not large, stretching for only a hundred miles, the mountain peaks are not high, and the highest main peak is only two or three thousand feet. In the great mountains of the southwest of the empire, or in the mountains around the port of Tulum, this can only be regarded as a small dirt bag.

But in the Great Plains region in the middle of the empire, where the imperial capital is located, this is the very remarkable 'Xiongqi Mountain Range'!

The airship slowed down, slowly pushing away the snow, and leaned towards a brightly lit valley.
