The white world, snow, is the only melody.

For the Cangwu Ice Field, located in the northwest of the Great Xia Empire and also in the Northwest Pole Territory of Middle-earth, this is a world of snow.

The area of the Cangwu Ice Sheet is extremely vast, but because most of the area is covered by heavy snow all year round, there are very few areas suitable for human habitation, except for some [Heavenly Soil] that has changed its location every once in a while since ancient times, there are only some areas that have not formed frozen soil for some unknown reason.

In the long history, those God-given soils that periodically changed their positions gave birth to nomadic civilizations that were completely different from the farming civilization of the Central Plains Dynasty.

For example, the Turkic Khanate, which now has millions of string-wielding men.

The Turkic kings of the past dynasties, or the kings of the heaven-sent land of the past dynasties, all had their eyes on the Central Plains Dynasty, and as long as there was the slightest opportunity, they would almost inevitably send troops to the east, bent on occupying the incomparably rich land of the Central Plains Dynasty.

If the occupation fails, it will be changed to plunder, and the population, food, natural materials and earth treasures and other resources of the Central Plains will be snatched back to the heaven-sent soil, and resources will be accumulated for the next military dispatch.

The Central Plains Dynasty even had a record of being wiped out by a foreign race in the heaven-sent soil.

It was a very dark time.

Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains have fallen, and the Xuanyan nation has been reduced to a two-legged sheep, struggling to the death in the cruel laughter and heavy iron hooves of the alien race, and is almost wiped out.

Therefore, in the face of a huge threat in the northwest, each Central Plains dynasty would deploy heavy troops in military towns established in the frozen land zone to block the threat from the Central Plains.

The same is true of Great Xia.

After the establishment of the Great Xia Taizu, he set up the unfrozen land zone as a barren state, and at the same time forcibly relocated millions of people to the past, and then ordered a great general of the Zhu State who had great achievements at that time to lead the army to guard and control the military and political power of the barren state, except for the emperor, no one was controlled.

Then, the Shangzhu State, which had only eight members of the empire, guarded the barren state, and it became the ancestral system.

Nearly a thousand years have passed, and now as the largest and most desolate wasteland in the administrative region of Great Xia, Motian City still does not have the most basic characteristics of the Tianjie city - prosperity, on the contrary, the population here is not as good as a Xuanjie city.

Ice and snow hinder the pace of serious businessmen who are not afraid of hardships and dangers, after all, no one wants to travel thousands of miles to such a place with little commercial value.

Moreover, the land in the barren state is extremely barren, not to mention spiritual food, even ordinary food is difficult to grow, and the annual grain output is very low, so it can only rely on hunting or fishing to open the source, otherwise it will not be able to feed many people at all.

Although the imperial court transported grain, it was a long way away, and the consumption of manpower and material resources was extremely high, which was a great test of national strength; Second, the road is not smooth, monsters, monsters, monsters, alien bandits are rampant, even if there is an army escort, it is impossible to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

There is also a threat from foreign races here, so it is not very attractive to the common people, and no one will be willing to move to such a ghost place unless it is absolutely necessary.

At the same time, because it is located in the Northwest Pole of Central Continent, only a sea away from the world of sword and magic in the West Continent, there is a part of the misty ice field that is not suitable for human habitation, but it is a paradise for many non-human races such as dwarves, orcs, trolls, and even dragons.

Therefore, the living environment here can be described as extremely harsh.

It's simply a world where the strong are respected.

At this time, in Motian City.

The streets are silent, except for the whistling of the cold wind and the sound of footsteps.

Even in the cold winter, there are still some pedestrians on the streets, but there is no laughter and laughter of the human world on their faces, and some are just indifferent, and they are indifferent in the face of unknown fate.

Originally, their lives were quite passable, but since the Queen Mother took charge of the dynasty, the materials transported to Huangzhou have become less and less.

With fewer supplies and priority to supply the army, the lives of the common people naturally became more and more difficult.

Without enough food, they had to take greater risks and go out hunting and fishing.

Fight with the sky, fight with the earth, fight with people, and fight with beasts.

If you win the fight, you will lie down for a few days, and if you lose the fight, you will lie down for a lifetime.

In this increasingly hopeless city, the despair of the people has gradually become the mainstream, and no one knows when they will encounter a powerful demon beast in the hunt, or they will not find the prey and run out of strength and freeze to death on the ice field, becoming the belly of a certain monster.

Maybe it's an ice bear, maybe it's a saber-toothed tiger, and if you're lucky, you can turn into a lump of dragon dung, who knows which one you are?

At the highest point of Motian City, there is the watchtower of the City Lord's Mansion, where you can see a complete white capital.

Gu Simiao, who was dressed in light armor, held his hands and looked into the distance, and under the silver-white hair that he had cultivated and did not know what exercises he had practiced, there was an inexplicable trace of determination in his cold and solemn eyes.

Once known as the first beauty in Northern Hebei, although she has been in command of the army for two years, she is still as beautiful as she was two years ago, and even a little more heroic than two years ago, but her body is always exposed to a cold air that rejects people thousands of miles away, which makes people instinctively dare not approach.

As the general of the Pillar State who commanded the 700,000 Cangling army, her strength is beyond doubt.

After all, she was not only the youngest Shangzhu Kingdom in history, but also the only genius in the thousand years since the founding of Great Xia who had broken through the Guiyi Realm before the age of twenty.

Coupled with the battle formation techniques and tactics that have been passed down from generation to generation by the Jiangmen family, this has created the [Peerless Pillar Country] that has already shocked the Misty Ice Plain at a young age.

However, even if she is as powerful as her, there is still a trace of imperceptible sorrow hidden in her eyes.

Da Da...

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him.

Then a woman in light armor appeared at the entrance of the aisle.

"Miss..."

The person who came was the personal maid who had been with Gu Simiao since he could remember, the green pothos.

In Huangzhou, only Luluo would call her that.

Gu Simiao gathered her mind, then turned her head, looked at the pothos, and said lightly: "Pothos, have you done everything?" ”

Pothos nodded.

"It's all done, miss."

"Well, that's good, thank you for your hard work."

As she spoke, Gu Simiao gently patted the snow off her shoulder, then closed her eyes inexplicably and took a deep breath at the same time.

When she opened her eyes again, there was no trace of distraction in her eyes, clear and firm.

"Well, then, it's time to get started."

As the words fell, she turned around and walked towards the exit with a firm step.

Looking at Gu Simiao's back, Lu Luo's face inexplicably showed a tangled look, and then, she hesitated for a moment, and then gritted her teeth violently.

"Miss."

"Huh?"

Gu Simiao paused slightly.

"What's wrong?"

Green pothos plucked up her courage and asked in a deep voice, "Miss, do you really want to do this?" They're ......, sir."

"I know, pothos."

Before she finished her words, Gu Simiao interrupted expressionlessly.

"I know what you want to say and I know what it means to do it, but ......"

The footsteps that had taken a short pause lifted again, this time, without a pause.

"I don't have a choice."

As these words fell, I saw a blue butterfly suddenly appear around her body.

In the next second, the butterfly suddenly bloomed with a blue light, and at the same time, her figure gradually blurred, and the air around her began to distort.

In just a moment, her figure disappeared as the butterfly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

Only a faint scent of lingering fragrance in the air tells the story of what has just happened.

Unreal and real.
