Winter is approaching, and this winter of the Eternal Night Star is exceptionally cold, with heavy snowfall almost every day, and the open-air boiler has to clear the snow around it every day.

The boiler has now been built from the canyon to the ground, and the inertia brought by the height can easily transport hot water to the burrow.

There is even a part of the boiler used to generate electricity, and the electric crawler carries a large amount of coal into the boiler, forming a cycle.

Now that the people of the permafrost are ready to harvest and store food, if nothing else, it will be the saddest and best winter.

But apparently, fate does not favor the people of the tundra, and at this moment, what they do not know is that a great crisis is approaching.

But now, someone is carrying the weight for them.

Sparrowhawk and Tianhai, two old men who were over the age of six, were wearing heavy yak skins to face the wind and snow, and the wind and snow around them were resisted by them with the fifth element.

They set out from noon until now, and they climbed over a snow-capped mountain to the destination of this trip.

In the canyons of the snow-capped mountains, where a bunch of sprays are stationed, and the towering ice forms a wall that encloses these tents and shields them from the blizzard.

A group of warriors in armor patrolled with weapons in hand.

Sparrowhawk glanced at Tianhai, and then continued to walk down the mountain.

"Who!

？ ”

They didn't deliberately hide their figures, so they were soon spotted by the guards.

Sparrowhawk stepped forward and pulled her hood down.

"It's me."

The guard's eyes widened slightly, obviously not expecting anyone to come, he said with a slight astonishment.

"Sparrowhawk, you.... Are you still alive? ”

"This frozen soil can't kill us." Tianhai on the other side of the sparrowhawk said.

The guard looked to Sparrowhawk's side, and then, Amami took off his hood.

"Oh my God.... Amami-sama!? ”

"Who are your leaders?" Sparrowhawk asked.

"It's Brother An."

"Brother An." Tianhai muttered softly and paused, he raised his head and said, "Take me to him." ”

"Yes."

With that, he took Sparrowhawk and the others directly into the main tent.

The guard stood outside the tent and said respectfully.

"Brother An, Lord Sparrowhawk and Lord Tianhai ask to meet."

There was silence in the tent for a long time, and then the voice of the province was heard from inside the tent.

"Let them in."

The guards opened the tent curtains and faced the Sparrowhawk and the Sky Sea Road.

"Two adults, please ....."

Sparrowhawk and Amami walked into the tent.

The materials used in the tent are embodied by the fifth element, which has a strong thermal insulation effect, so they can clearly feel the warmth of the inside the moment they enter.

Of course, this is relative, and the temperatures here are still quite cold compared to the central heating system in the frozen soil.

In the middle of the tent is a wooden bed with a patchwork, and a table on the bed.

A middle-aged man in a black robe with a necklace around his neck is sitting on a bed with a kettle on the table.

The kettle was steaming hot.

"It seems that the Pope is right, you have indeed found new hope." Brother An looked at the sparrowhawk and Tianhai, and there was a glimmer in his eyes.

After a pause, Brother An picked up the kettle on one side and poured a little hot water into the cup on the table placed on the side.

"Let's drink some hot water, this way, it shouldn't be easy to walk."

This high-minded master-like posture made Sparrowhawk and Tianhai both frown slightly, but they didn't say anything.

"You don't have to drink water." Sparrowhawk said, "I'm here to confirm something to you. ”

Brother An raised his eyebrows and looked at them.

"Are the Elysed Land's armies about to arrive here, and you are ready to take the land that originally belonged to the people of the Frozen Land, right?" Sparrowhawk asked.

"Can you tell me before you answer that question again?" Brother An stared at the Sparrowhawk with burning eyes, "Who told you about it?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Sparrowhawk said.

Brother An smiled, "It seems that even if several adults leave, they have always been attached to the Promised Land." ”

After a pause, he said to himself.

"You may not know that during the time you left, the Promised Land has endured so many disasters that it is no longer able to provide us with survival.

An air of despair enveloped the entire Promised Land.

Do you know how happy we are when we know that the permafrost has another place for us to survive? ”

"As long as we survive this winter, the re-emergence of the sun will melt the ice, and we can survive in the permafrost and even try farming." Sparrowhawk Road.

"But we can't survive this winter!" Brother An's words were a little harsh, and he looked at Sparrowhawk, "Lord Sparrowhawk, the purpose of your trip is to convince us to give up this war, right?" ”

"We don't have to waste our time or lie to us, we all know that there aren't so many people in that place.

If you want to stop this war, it's simple. ”

Brother An looked up at him.

"Continue to implement the policy of God's outcasts, and weed out the low-powered, weak humans."

"It can't be!" Sparrowhawk vetoed this almost without thinking, and he looked at Ango.

"The Promised Land has abandoned them once, and they have built it by their own efforts, their own wisdom, their unyielding faith and the sacrifices of countless people.

Now, the one who abandoned them is coming to take the place where they have paid for everything, and there is no such reason in this world! ”

"Sparrowhawk." Brother An spoke again, this time, he accentuated his tone.

"You have lost everything because of your naivety, and even now, you have not recognized the reality?

Elysium is home to the finest human bloodlines, the most powerful, the most intelligent, and beloved by the gods.

They are the most deserving race, and there is no need for your weak bloodlines to continue.

That will only pollute the bloodline of human beings, and will only make human beings weaker and weaker! ”

"That's their own choice, no one can make a choice for them!" Sparrowhawk snapped.

Brother An raised his eyebrows, "That looks like there's nothing to talk about." ”

At this time, Tianhai spoke, "Brother An, your teacher and I are good friends, and he mentioned you to me, you are a warrior who is very loyal to the Promised Land.

Your ambition is to protect everyone in the Promised Land.

But have you ever thought that the people who live in the frozen ground are also the people of the promised land.

We are of the same culture, do you want to watch the two sides kill each other like this? ”

Brother An fell silent, "I understand all this, Lord Tianhai, but there is no other way to do this. ”

"We can provide you with some food and clothing, and together we can work to expand the space of the underground city.

Until this winter passes. ”

"Do you think that there are warmer places, and that people in the Promised Land would be willing to live on cold ground? This winter will be colder than ever.

Besides....."

Brother An's words froze.

"It's not for me to decide, the order, it's from the Pope, who has mobilized in Elysium.

Now, all the people of Elysium want to live in the so-called God-given land. ”

"It wasn't given by your god at all!" Sparrowhawk suppressed his anger and said, "It took you outcasts to build up little by little over generations!" ”

"But everybody thinks so, or do you want to talk to the Pope personally?"

Sparrowhawk fell silent, he wouldn't mind talking to the Pope if it worked, but he knew it was impossible.

The stubbornness of the Pope, he has already learned and has paid the price.

What he really wants to convince is the fighters who really go to the front.

"Do you know why the frozen ground of the eternal night reappears with sunlight?" Sparrowhawk spoke.

Brother An raised his eyes to look at him.

"For the true god has awakened, and he has defeated the darkness that hangs over our heads, and I think that the people of the Promised Land have seen that day.

Why did the Promised Land suffer such a catastrophe, and why did the frozen ground have such a God-given land?

I think you should think about it. ”

Brother Ann stared at Sparrowhawk, and after a moment, he said, "What do you mean?" ”

"We are the ones who are truly blessed by the gods." Sparrowhawk looked at Brother An seriously, "You have all been coaxed by the Pope!"

The gods you believe in are the real culprits responsible for the eternal night that has frozen this land.

The main culprit who caused us to endure this suffering! ”

"Sparrowhawk-sama!" Brother An accentuated, "Do you know what you're talking about? You are blaspheming. ”

"I know very well." Sparrowhawk looked at Ango, "We can fight this war, but I am sure that the loser will be a happy land, because we have God's protection."

And the existence behind you is the defeat of God. ”

"It's the funniest thing I've ever heard." Brother An laughed.

"The facts will prove everything, if you are suspicious of everything around you, or if you feel uneasy, you can always come to us.

You will still be welcomed in the afterlife. ”

"Afterlife?" Brother An frowned, "The land you live in?" ”

"No, it's the afterlife." Sparrowhawk looked at Ango, "Only believers in God, those who died fighting for righteousness, and the good are qualified to enter."

It is a place where people can live forever and enjoy endless wine and food.

And if they can't enter the afterlife, when people die, they will enter Hades, where the demon gods live, a terrible and eternal realm. ”

"Have you started making up stories?" Brother An said disdainfully.

"I have already told you the truth, how to make the right choice at the right time is your business, not ours."

Sparrowhawk looked at the sky.

Tianhai also understood, and followed the sparrowhawk to turn away.

They pulled open the tent, and the guard who had brought them there straightened up in panic.

"Sparrowhawk-sama, Tenkai-sama."

Sparrowhawk glanced at the guard and nodded at him.

In the first moment, he had noticed that this guard was eavesdropping here, and he was not the only one who was eavesdropping.

This tent is not soundproof.

The seeds of doubt had been planted, and what he had said here today would gradually spread through the armies of the Promised Land through the mouths of these low-level guards.

For these people, it's just gossip, a midday gossip.

They may not care, or even scoff at it.

But at some point, the seed will blossom and bear fruit, and finally accomplish what they want to accomplish.

They kept walking.

But they had just taken half a step out of the camp.

A fireball rushed straight from the distant sky.

Sparrowhawk and Tianhai reacted quickly, jumping away from each other almost synchronously.

"Boom!"

The fireball smashed on the ice and snow with a bang, melting a piece of ice and snow in an instant, and the surging water vapor slowly rose.

Sparrowhawk and Tianhai turned their heads to look not far away.

There, a group of men in clerical uniforms stood on the cliff and watched them, men and women, middle-aged and elderly.

Brother An hurriedly came out of the tent when he heard the sound, raised his head to look at the people on the cliff, and hurriedly lowered his head and said.

"Bishop Hein."

"Brother An."

The old man known as Hine was a thin old man with long, narrow eyes that looked slightly gloomy.

He spoke in a deep voice, "The enemy is right in front of you, why do you want to let them go?" ”

"Wh.... What? Brother An didn't react, he looked back at Sparrowhawk and Tianhai, "Lord Hein, but they are..."

"So, are they the people of the Promised Land now?" Hine interrupted him.

Brother An fell silent.

"They have been expelled from the Promised Land and are about to become our enemies.

They are all powerful magicians cultivated by the Promised Land at the expense of resources, and they must not be allowed to go back! ”

Hine ordered coldly.

He looked at Sparrowhawk and Tianhai and waved his hand.

"Kill them!"
