Winter in Bracada has never been a suitable time for travel or expeditions.
Since September and October every year, ice and snow begin to visit the vast wilderness in the south of the continent early. Often just overnight, the originally yellow and green wilderness will suddenly become covered in silver and white.
Then, it will not be until around May of next year that the goddess of winter will reluctantly bid farewell to this vast land and slowly leave. Therefore, it can be said that Brakada is always shrouded in darkness for more than half of the year.
In big or light snowstorms, especially the two months before and after the New Year, it is the famous "snowstorm season". Within a few dozen days, it is almost rare to see sunny days. Therefore,
, whether they are humans, goblins, or even powerful races such as Nagas and Titans, they try to avoid and reduce the time for outdoor activities during the blizzard season.
However, due to the complete outbreak of the civil war between the north and the south, Brakada is destined to be unable to be peaceful this winter. In order to be able to pass smoothly in the cold wind and heavy snow, and reach Stormwind City on time, we also try our best to take care of the relative vulnerability of the mages.
In order to prevent the body from being damaged by the hard journey, Azurite City has actually made the most complete and detailed material preparations for the traveling Azure Mage Group. Including thirty wolf sleds specially allocated for the trip, hundreds of them passed by
Bracada sled dogs bred with special medicine, auxiliary attendants that are almost as many as the mage group, and of course the well-equipped and strong Olympus squadron. Such a travel configuration is enough to ensure that the entire mage group can face it calmly.
The cruel environmental challenges on the ice sheet. As long as there is no particularly bad weather conditions, the mage regiment can maintain a daily mileage of about 25 to 30 kilometers. And this march speed has exceeded the previous blue crystal legion's.
Average daily distance traveled.
By the sixteenth day after departure, the Blue Mage Group had completed 75% of the planned itinerary. In front of them, the majestic mountains of the A Coruña Mountains were clearly visible. And they continued to move forward.
Over a hundred kilometers away, you can reach Stormwind City, the Allied forward base.
"Your Excellency, squadron leader, the wolf-riding scouts reported that no suspicious conditions were found within twenty kilometers." Could it be that it was a sunny day, and Margaret, who was dressed in red armor on the vast white ice field, was like a blooming red flower?
Like a rose.
"Well, we are about to enter the mountains, and we are also approaching the war zone. Therefore, I require the Wolf Cavalry Company to maintain 24-hour uninterrupted reconnaissance from now on. At the same time, expand the reconnaissance range to thirty kilometers." Moriarty.
Standing at the front of the huge wolf-style sled, dozens of fierce dogs are working together to pull the sled forward quickly across the flat snow.
As the latest military snow transportation equipment developed by Blue Crystal City, the Wolf Sled has not only greatly improved its load capacity and length and width, but also has excellent control and passing capabilities on bumpy terrain. It is also very distinctive.
The forward tilted and raised front end not only gives the sled body good penetration and steering properties, but also resembles a snow wolf that raises its head and roars. This is why the name of the wolf sled comes. If it is called Olympus
Taking the squadron as an example, if it is full of personnel and equipment, it only needs ten Wolfs to fully meet its needs. In the past, if ordinary sleds were used, at least forty to fifty would have been needed.
"Thirty kilometers... After entering the mountains, the terrain will definitely not be as flat as on the snowfield. Is it too difficult?" White asked in a low voice.
"Thirty kilometers is nothing. The Wolf Cavalry Company guarantees to complete the mission!" However, it seems that the female werewolf did not have any fear of the difficulty and directly agreed generously.
"Let's do this. Before all the wolf cavalry set off, they should come to my place to make up for the 'Breath of Wind'. This can save some energy and reduce consumption." After looking at Margaret and White respectively, Moriarty decided.
.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
"Staff officer, what do you think of our final journey?" Moriarty nodded. Moriarty turned his attention to Clausewitz on the other side. Similarly, the old werewolf was also riding on his seat.
Get on the wolf and run parallel to the sleigh at the same speed.
"Mountains have always been the most ideal location for ambush warfare. Although the area north of Stormwind City is still under the control of the Allied Forces, because of the existence of goblin airships, we cannot ignore the possibility of the enemy launching a surprise attack.
As you have said before, sometimes a 'frog' that knows how to jump is more terrifying than a bison that can only blindly rush in." The old werewolf continued to look at the far end of the horizon in front of him.
Said slowly.
"Are you worried that the goblins will use the 'leaping frog' tactic to directly come to us for trouble?" White said solemnly.
"If the goblin commander in Yonville Valley has enough intelligence support, judging from his previous command style, I think it is quite possible to mobilize heavy troops, bypass Stormwind City, and airdrop to attack us. After all, a whole blue army
The mage regiment only has a defensive force to strengthen the squadron, so it is a tempting meal no matter how you look at it."
"However, you must know that the route and timetable of the Blue Mage Group are top secret. It is hard for me to imagine that the goblins can obtain such important information." After hearing the old werewolf's words, White shook his head hesitantly: "And it is different from being relatively thin.
We have a great arcanist in charge of the Crimson Mage Group. With such strength, it should be enough to dispel most people’s unrealistic illusions.”
"Maybe." In response to White's objection, Clausewitz just nodded noncommittally and said no more.
"Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, Master Depra, please come over." At this time, an auxiliary soldier drove a small one-man sled and hurried to the front of Moriarty, and then shouted loudly.
"Okay, I know."
The sleigh where the high-level mage was sitting was located in the middle of the entire marching column, next to Dean Figaro's position, so it was actually not that easy for Moriarty to move through the fast-moving column.
"Come on, I'll take you there." When she saw Moriarty planning to jump off the sled and take the "car" of the communications auxiliary, Margaret immediately urged the warg under her to get closer.
"That's fine." After looking at the female werewolf, Moriarty smiled and jumped directly off the edge of the sled. Then the balance and jumping ability of the third-level warrior ensured that it landed accurately and lightly on the wolf behind Margaret.
on the back.
"Please sit tight!"
She secretly praised Moriarty's neat movements in her heart, and Margaret encouraged the warg to make a sharp turn and run towards the rear.
This is the first time that Moriarty has had the honor to ride Wolfgang's exclusive mount. Although the feeling is very different from riding a horse, he has to admit that on such a snowy ground, the warg with its wide foot pads has no problem.
It is far superior to ordinary war horses in terms of running speed and smoothness. It even feels like sitting on a free-moving sofa. Moriarty can't help but want to twist a few times and try the elasticity.
Thoughts. In front of him, Margaret's long golden hair continued to float and rise and fall with the blowing wind. For the first time, Moriarty discovered that the female werewolf actually had a very special darkness.
Fragrance. It was not the pungent smell of perfume, nor was it the natural frankincense of children, but an extraordinarily distant fragrance. It was a little restrained, but also seemed to be particularly playful. Unknowingly, Moriarty was slightly
She leaned forward and took a deep breath. This movement and the sound of inhaling were immediately noticed by Margaret in front of her. The female werewolf couldn't help but feel the clouds flying over her face, but remained silent.
Looking at the man and woman walking away quickly, White and Clausewitz seemed to be looking at each other with different thoughts. Suddenly, they noticed each other's attention, and they both turned back.
The warg sprinted very quickly, and soon Margaret and Moriarty arrived at Depra's carriage. However, because she was worried that the warg's too close approach might affect the sled dogs pulling the carriage,
So Moriarty jumped up from behind the female werewolf again and jumped onto the parallel sled a few meters away.
Like the Grand Arcanist, as the second-largest figure in Hockenheim and the Blue Mage Group, the High-level Mage also enjoys the special treatment of one man and one sled, and of course there will be no shortage of drivers and attendants.
"Haha, Moriarty, your skills are getting better and better. You really look like a warrior." Seeing the other party jumping over like a pure warrior, Depra stood at the door of the sled's cabin, half in admiration and half in admiration.
Authentic sigh.
"I'm rude." Moriarty smiled slightly after standing firm, and then walked up to the senior mage: "Master, what's the matter with you summoning me?"
"That's right, the A Coruña Mountains are ahead. I want to ask you what your plans are." Depra returned to the cabin, and Moriarty followed immediately.
"What do you mean, Master?"
"Shall we slow down a bit and send people to Storm City first, and ask the city lord to send a legion to meet him." Looking at the young mage in front of him, Depra frankly expressed his thoughts: "It's not that he doesn't trust Austria.
The combat power of the Limpis Squadron, but after all, once you enter a real war zone, you may encounter risks at any time. Therefore, as the deputy leader of the Mage Group, I need to pay more attention to the safety of all members."
"Yes, your idea is very thoughtful." Moriarty did not seem to have any feeling of contempt or distrust, and immediately nodded in agreement: "I immediately ordered the team to slow down, and at the same time dispatched a sled and two pairs of wolf riders.
First go to Stormwind City."
"Well, that puts me at ease." The senior mage nodded with a smile and patted Moriarty on the shoulder with satisfaction.
"There is no need to send anyone. Someone from the south is coming to 'greet' us. It seems that they are our goblin 'friends'. Please prepare."
But at this moment, Dean Figaro's voice suddenly penetrated the bulkhead of the sleigh and came in.
When they heard this sentence, Moriarty and Depra's expressions changed at the same time. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
