. War is inevitable. The city lord personally took several generals to the military camp. In the snow, there were huge tents made of animal skins. This was the first time Lin Ke had seen the real Beizhang since he came to this city. Because he had always been silly and only focused on improving himself, and he usually had very little time to go out officially, so how could he have time to come to such a remote suburb?

The northern country is different from those cities with a large population. The city lord Lao Qiao implements a system of military service for all people. Everyone has to serve in the military for two years at the age of sixteen. After two years of rituals, the city lord's mansion will issue each adult child a set of weapons and armor, regardless of gender.

The northern country has a harsh climate and rarely produces food. Except for a small part of it relying on imports, most of it comes from the endless oceans in their territory. People in the northern country have basically eaten meat since childhood. Because the temperature and pressure here are very low, meat is very difficult to cook thoroughly, and most of the time the meat is covered with blood. However, it is this living environment that has created the simple but extremely tough personality of the Chinese people.

Most people in northern China are tall and strong, and their health is naturally superior to those in other three cities who are born to eat grass.

When Lin Ke came with the city lord, he happened to see some men and citizens coming here with their armor to report. Seeing the city lord's arrival, they surrounded him excitedly. Lao Qiao said some inspiring words and led Lin Ke directly into Junying.

The house made of animal skin was very warm, and several people were discussing something fiercely around a map. When they saw Lao Qiao walking in, they immediately stopped discussing and stood attentively.

"grown ups!"

"Tell me about the situation!"

This is not a time to be polite, Lao Qiao's pace has accelerated a lot. He has to be extremely calm outside, in order to stabilize the morale of the army. He himself knew in his heart that in this war, the balance of victory was not at all on his side.

"Yes, their marching speed is relatively normal. As we expected, they did bypass the temple. Now the troops of the Western City and the Southern City have joined forces. The Eastern City has been suppressing speed and waiting for the Western Conference. After the Southern Alliance joins, they set off together. The goal is nothing more than our Great Snow Mountain Pass. It seems that they are planning to destroy the Northern Country and then consider the temple."

A thin man with almost only bones left said that he was Lao Qiao's staff officer and had convincing military abilities. However, Lin Ke remembered that he was not because of his military abilities, because he was too thin, almost like a mosquito. In the northern country full of big guys, this person was too special and could not remember it.

A mosquito-like man said slowly that compared to the northerners who are anxious, the mosquito-man's personality also seems to be much slower.

"Daxue Mountain? They can only come in from here. Bingyang and the others dare not go. The ice elements enriched there will be greatly repel other elements. Moreover, the winds are strong there all year round, and their flying techniques cannot be used normally there. If you walk, they will not dare to try the ice ocean tame beasts of the Icefield nomads."

Lao Qiao frowned. On the one hand, he hoped that those people would really advance from the Bingyang, so that they could relieve a lot of pressure on the front. But if the other party really divided the Bingyang, can the Bingyang nomads stop the other party? Lao Qiao is not a god, he cannot predict anything, and he must make all plans. The only advantage of the North is to take advantage of the harsh environment here, but Lao Qiao also knew that this thing could not determine victory or defeat.

The key is human.

"Whether it is the snowy mountains or the ice fields, we must pay enough attention to it. How many troops can we mobilize now?"

The city lord asked his general.

"It's the limit if there are less than five thousand people. Except for the elderly, children, and most women, all those who can pick up weapons are mobilized accordingly."

A general replied.

"Where is the other party?"

"About 50,000 people, all of them are regular soldiers."

The so-called regular army is a professional soldier. Their city lord does not require them to do anything except war.

Ten times the quantity.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn. Although I usually knew that the number of three cities was much larger than that of myself, such a huge difference in numbers still made everyone feel that there were heavy stones pressing on their hearts. The warm air in them seemed to become hot at this moment, and sweat gradually appeared on a general's forehead.

"Although the ants are small, they can cross mountains through the cracks of the rocks. Although the elephant is large, they may not be able to cross icebergs thousands of miles."

Lin Ke suddenly spoke, and at this time, all the people shifted their thinking back from the comparison of the number of people.

In fact, the comparison of the number of people did not surprise Lin Ke, because 50,000 soldiers were not as many soldiers as a great master in the world, let alone a country. The Findel Empire in the world had a total of two million troops in its most glorious period. Although it was reduced by more than half later, it still maintained an astonishing number. When the comparison of the number of people was meaningless, any soldier in the world could destroy a regiment, but if it was just in terms of quantity, it was indeed not enough to surprise Lin Ke.

"Thanks."

Old Qiao nodded to Linko.

"This child is right. It is a thousand-mile iceberg between us and them. There, our soldiers can exert 200% of their strength, and for their soldiers, they cannot even exert half of their strength. In other words, one of our soldiers is the four of them! The men in our northern country have always been brave and good at fighting, and one can kill five of them at will! In this way, our team has half of their coalition forces!"

Old Qiao laughed and said. When the city lord said this, the air in his response immediately eased. Although everyone knew that war was not a simple math problem, who would be willing to believe that he was not as good as the enemy?

"Actually, there is nothing scary at all. If I had such good conditions to stick to, I wouldn't care how many people there were on the other side."

Phoenix, who had been quietly looking at the map, suddenly spoke.

"What did you say?"

A general seemed to have not heard clearly, or rather, he didn't realize what the girl in a tight martial arts uniform was saying.

"I mean, things are not as serious as you think. With such a huge advantage, I really don't understand what you are worried about."

The girl said.

Lin Ke first glanced at the Phoenix Girl with a puzzled look, and the other party blinked at him, indicating that he was not talking nonsense. Then Lin Ke suddenly realized that Phoenix's father was the Grand Duke of the Protectorate, and his mother was guarding the frontier for many years. When talking about marching and fighting, it is estimated that the Phoenix Girl will definitely not be bad if she is influenced by her.

In fact, Lin Ke's guess is completely correct. People who represent the world are not as powerful as those in the inner world, and the outcome of the war will be quickly distinguished. Therefore, people who represent the world always study many techniques of war methods. Since the battles in the inner world are air combat and have few people, the outcome of the war is generally determined by the soldiers' air combat skills, so few people will study these things.

"You don't understand, kid. The wars in the world all happen in the air, and there is no desire to be too much to be willing to do in the dangerous terrain."

The general understood Phoenix's words, and he also knew some ways of war that represented the world, and he did not think that would help.

"Can't your soldiers fly?"

Phoenix asked strangely.

"Of course! Will be born!"

The general answered with wide eyes.

"They can fly, so you can fly and intercept it. What's there to be afraid of? Even if you fight on the ground, the terrain itself will not help you fight. We are just using the special locations of the terrain to hide or help us resist. Could it be that the men in the north do not even understand their own ice fields?"

Phoenix's words were actually quite rude.

"The men of the North certainly understand every inch of land in the North!"

The general's face turned red. He didn't know why this beautiful little girl spoke so impolitely.

"So imagine that when the enemy flies by, you suddenly rushed out from under the snow. When the enemy attacks you, you hide behind obstacles that they have not noticed at all. When the enemy needs to land and rest, you trigger an avalanche, which forces them to keep flying in the air forever. Will the war become easier?"

What Phinex said in time made Lin Ke stunned, not because she said something unexpected, but because she said it was too simple and too shallow. What she said just now was basically content that was only in the enlightenment readings that were determined to become a commander. If she asked her to say the total content of this in such an occasion, wouldn’t she be afraid of others’ jokes?

However, Lin Ke's expected joke did not appear, but instead brought a surprising and admiration.

"Oh my God, why didn't I expect it!"

Lin Ke looked confused. Have they never thought about how to fight?

Phoenix looked at Lin Ke with a proud look on her face. She had been waiting for so long and finally had the chance to show off once.

Phoenix, who was born in the grand duke family, has always had a special liking for marching and fighting. For this reason, she has also learned relevant knowledge for a long time. Her smart mind has been combined with several actions to guard the frontier. Phoenix's command ability is not worse than that of ordinary people, but because of Phoenix's blood, she quickly lost interest in command and began to study more difficult-to-understand Eastern martial arts. However, her previous knowledge was not left behind.

Since she came to the inner world, Phoenix has been in a daze. She knew that she had to improve, but Lin Ke's speed of improvement was much more amazing than she thought. On the one hand, the Phoenix girl refused to admit that the other party was stronger than her. Because the power of the Phoenix is ​​almost endless, but Phoenix herself also knew that even if she could not use the flames of the Phoenix to burn Lin Ke, would it be?

So how do you prove that you are strong?

The Phoenix Girl quickly discovered the strangeness of this world. They didn’t have a real set of fighting rules for marching and fighting?

In private, Phoenix once asked the city lord, and the answer he got made him laugh and cry. There was a war in the inner world. Although it lasted for many years, it was only once. At that time, people did not know how to fight. They only fought with their personal abilities. When the war ended, all peace would be achieved, the army had no chance of fighting besides maintaining training. Because there were only four cities in the inner world, and there was such peace between the city.

Therefore, no one studies how to fight, because there is no battle to study.

So, when it comes to fighting, what Lao Qiao could think of was that two groups of people went up to fight hard.

‘What a tragedy. Although I have won pride, I am not happy at all.’

This was Phoenix's idea at that time. Her knowledge was based on countless wars, which made her feel that there was no glory on her face. But glory was useless, victory was useful. She had a very keen military mind and quickly judged that a war would definitely happen in the future, so she had been secretly collecting information on soldiers from various countries, and she did not let go of anything that could be used on marching and fighting.

Unexpectedly, she actually came in handy.

When Phinex explained this to Linko completely, Linko felt incredible. At the same time, he was even more surprised. When did the history of the world begin? Since such a high level of civilization has been produced, why does civilization seem so uncontinuous? If the humans here were born naturally, how could they not even fight?

Lin Ke never thought about this matter, and now there is no time to think about it.

"When they attack from here, here, and here, we only need some simple preparations and then surround them, and we can use very little force to complete the blocking of the opponent."

Phoenix had already come to the front of the map and pointed to a certain location on the map and said.

Lin Ke didn't know how to command a war, and to be precise, he didn't know how to command a large-scale battle. All his abilities were concentrated on the understanding of local combat. So at this time he admired Phoenix, who suddenly showed his command ability.

"I didn't expect that, I really didn't expect that there are such outstanding talents among you!"

Old Qiao grinned happily and laughed. The pressure slowly dissipated in his heart, replaced by a desire for victory in the war.

"When it comes to talent, he is the real talent."

The phoenix girl turned her head and pointed at Lin Ke and said.

"Yes, his strength has been improving all the time, I can see."

The city lord nodded.

"No, it's not his power. A commander's policy can only exert its true power after being implemented by a suitable person. And he once protected a legendary weapon alone through a country, and he escaped countless enemy encirclements and blockades. It can be said that it is perfect to describe it as a blade."

Phoenix said.

Although Lin Ke was extremely thick-skinned and was praised in front of others, he still felt a little hot on his face. But he didn't need to be modest, he knew his abilities.

"Yes, I'm the best job of quests that need to tear a rift from the enemy."

Lin Ke said.

"So, what are we waiting for?"

Lao Qiao looked at the generals around him who had begun to show joy, and the flashlight was on the map.

"Let's crush them!"

The army of the three cities finally met on the northern border of Qian Plain. Nearly 50,000 people was not a very high number, especially on the vast plain, this mere 50,000 people was not even enough to fill a corner of sight.

The scout of the Northern City was wearing a white cloak, hiding in the snow pile, and was equipped with a huge telescope wrapped in white cloth in front of his body, nearly two meters long. This is the technology that has been circulated in the mechanical temple, and it is also one of the few technologies that have been quickly popularized. Now he is on a small hill in front of the thousands of miles of iceberg, and his every move is in his control.

Behind him, in a deep valley that cannot be seen, a group of people gathered together. At their feet were carved with complex magic arrays. The light of the magic array was always lingering, but no element flow was felt around them. Behind them, a strong wind suddenly rose above the tall snow peak. The strong wind blew the soft snow from the mountain along the ridge, forming a white veil.

It is completely different from the world of the world. Everyone can fly, and the marching speed is much faster than the world of the world of the world. So even though it is fighting across borders, the marching speed is amazing for the small world of the world.
