It’s December in the middle of winter, it’s freezing cold and the sky is full of snowflakes
The bone-chilling north wind dominates this continent. The climate was originally relatively warm. Heavy snow fell in Dongzhou, which stopped and fell. White snow thickly covered the earth. The surface temperature dropped below freezing. The growth of vegetation stopped and migratory birds migrated south.
Insects and beasts are dormant.
Thousands of species in nature have calmed down, but with the support of the flame of civilization, human activities have not calmed down, but have become more intense.
There is an official road. There are scattered snow here, but the sky is very cloudy. Microwaves are hitting the shore nearby. A group of cars is heading north along the road. There are three cars in total. The cars are sealed tightly. There are twenty soldiers in the caravan.
Accompany.
The large cart in front was six feet long and nine feet wide. It was harnessed to four horses. The carriage was made of logs and carved with clouds. There were seven copper bells hanging on them, which rang with the wind. At this time, I didn’t know what was said inside, and the coachman whipped "Crack."
"With a flick, it stopped in response.
In fact, according to the system, you can tell at a glance in the mainland that it is a princely standard, but here, no one can tell this.
After a while, the ladder seat was on the side of the wheel, and Ye Qing came out.
Such a big car can sleep and live in, and can accommodate several people to move around freely. At this time, Liniang followed him out, still reporting the latest information.
"East China Sea Qingmeng, transport 30,000 Taoist troops by sea."
"Gather the original 20,000 Taoist soldiers, a total of 50,000 Taoist soldiers, and 100,000 ordinary soldiers to assist. Under the protection of magicians, real people and vehicle-mounted magic arrays, we will cut and burn the vegetation on the old road and forcefully advance -"
Ye Qing was silent for a moment and just nodded slightly.
Vegetation growth stops in the cold winter. There is no need to worry about the vegetation being submerged when the team retreats. Just send real people to patrol to ensure smooth logistics.
People in this world have long realized that Daofa war has very high logistical requirements, and without sufficient material support, combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
But with logistical support, the coalition forces started to operate like bulldozers, clearing out all the new enemies that had appeared in the territorial area in the past year, and then breaking through the territory maintained by last year's winter defense campaign. The next obstacle was not only the dense forests of nature, but also the fearless
Savages and aliens in winter.
The Eastern Wasteland is their homeland. Savage tribes and alien city-states from all over the country will not sit back and watch foreign enemies invade their homeland, no matter how civilized they are.
Savage tribes with low civilization are easy to deal with in isolation. Their communication skills make it difficult to unite and fight together, but city-states know how to communicate with each other.
In a military sense, Dongzhou's strategic depth is vast, and the primitive dense forests make transportation and information inconvenient, which further strengthens this point - many more distant eastern city-states do not know about the wars that occur in the far west every winter, and do not even know that a war is coming from the mainland.
Colonists.
However, many people in the western region suffered losses, or saw their neighbors suffering losses, so they became vigilant after hearing about it.
Every time war breaks out in winter, many foreign city-states that were originally hostile to each other will temporarily abandon their hatred and join forces to join the western front to help their neighbors resist the invaders... This is to help themselves.
It was purely a matter of fighting for living space, rather than right and wrong between good and evil. The military groups of the East China Sea Alliance and the city-state alliance actively collided with each other, mixed with the passive participation of the savage tribes. The life-and-death war burned on the crescent-shaped edge of the colonial area.
Even here, Ye Qing could feel the black and red energy fighting fiercely.
"The Eastern Wilderness Continent is the homeland of the savages and aliens, and it protects them, but it is within this world, so the weather and time each occupy half of it, while the geographical location and the savages and aliens account for the majority.
"It's just a matter of people and superiors. After all, our side is a civilized army and we have the advantage."
In late November, before it snowed in Dongzhou, the battle lines between the two sides showed a criss-cross appearance. The East China Sea Alliance occupied many savage lairs and alien city-states, but many marginal villages were destroyed by the enemy. They looked the same as usual.
A balanced situation up and down.
"There are many enemies. The number that has been detected is 230,000, which is half more than us... But it will not be a stalemate. We have been waiting for this heavy snow. After the snow, the miasma in the jungle has calmed down and its toxicity has been reduced a lot. Our soldiers'
There will be less worries about use, and you can let go and launch an offensive..."
This is Liniang's sworn guarantee. When talking about the winter defense counterattack, her big eyes will become very bright and she will be very confident: "Everything has been planned and arranged. As long as the logistics resources are sufficient, our Qingmai will never lose."
"
Ye Qing believed in her, and he believed in Dongzhou's 100-year history of development. Qingmai was a group that was very good at summarizing experience and innovating.
The fact that winter defense and counterattack can continue as a tradition shows that the conditions in winter are the most superior, but they are still different from the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn.
"The war should be progressing next...but we don't have to participate, we can just watch."
Different from the consistent eastward advance of the Xianmen territory, the first-line territory between Hope Port, Fragrant Spring City, and Tea Castle was relatively quiet. There were only a few small-scale defensive battles this winter. This was probably because the alien city-state on the opposite side was occupied by others.
The immortal sects held back their hands and feet, thinking that each immortal sect would take special care of the new lord.
Watching the fire from the other side is actually a kind of happiness. Ye Qing did not refuse this care like the second grader, and took advantage of this peaceful time to continue to familiarize himself with the territory.
This incarnation looked up and saw a large cloud of red air shrouding it. This was the result of taking over the inspection.
Five hundred thousand people, in the land of three counties, this is the energy, but it is not yet the energy of a dragon.
The dragon spirit is the spirit of the system. It is necessary to establish a system, but it is not yet a trend now.
Leaving the port officer to expand the warehouse and urban area in Port of Hope, the avatar took a few real people to inspect the nominally owned territory in the southern part of the territory. Many maps lacked information, or were outdated information from last year's winter defense campaign, but there was Sichuan.
Lin Notes automatically records everything within ten miles.
The serpentine curve is used to maximize the effect. In order to make up for the lengthened distance, the patrol speed becomes very fast. It almost doesn't stop as it passes by, almost seeming like a quick glance.
The follower felt strange, but he had more or less established trust recently, so he didn't ask any more questions.
In addition to patrolling, proper rest is also necessary. When it gets late when arriving somewhere, Ye Qing will find accommodation in the nearest village and chat with the people in the village. The basic preparation plan has been finalized after the patrol in the northern border. It is just a matter of patrolling in the southern border.
Improve the resource map.
This kind of remote land reclamation was an unprecedented experience for Ye Qing. The clone had no real pressure to survive and was reborn like a spring breeze.
After a whole winter of hard work, the fatigue is suddenly swept away, and a new perspective emerges from the body. The phoenix rises from the ashes and returns to being a baby. Everything you see is novel and beautiful.
During the inspection, many rare species were discovered, with more and more rare species the further away they went, many of which Ye Qing could not find the corresponding pictures in the White Jade Bookstore, showing that they had never been recorded by anyone.
The vastness and brilliance of nature is far greater than the accumulation of civilization. Ye Qing somewhat understands the starting point of the immortal's creation of clones. Indeed, as Da Siming said, the research function is far greater than the combat function.
Ye Qing has specially prepared for the combat power of clones, but now it seems that the East China Sea Alliance has comprehensive protection for him, and the danger in the same lineage controlled area is not great. Most of the time, it is just through the communication function-the most obvious and intuitive benefit of sending clones.
As for intelligence communications, no information network in the world can match Tianluo in terms of distance, speed, and resistance to interference.
The research function is not directly helpful for the time being. Sichuan Lin's note deduction ability is not as good as a clone at the moment, or he may have to wait until there are more clones and more perspectives in the future to show his research advantages on the world... After all, he is the Five Virtues Fairyland.
Theoretically enough to support five times the number of clones.
The hard power that the avatar has brought to Dongzhou is negligible. The most valuable value is the idea, which can provide a lot of foundation to prepare for the subsequent large-scale migration.
Before Ying Xiang's main reinforcements arrived, the lord's life in Dongzhou was still relatively free.
Ye Qing's memories of his two lives in this region were all of them under heavy pressure of life and death during great catastrophes. This was the first time he discovered that there was such a peaceful land overseas. There were no serious foreign enemies or too unreliable pig teammates. He was simply not used to it.
It felt...but after getting used to it, I found that I fell in love with this land and the interesting people here.
"Probably, after Qianqian, I will be the third anchor point in this world for the Han people." He thought this way, feeling peaceful in this wild snowfield.
Just as a ship needs a lighthouse, even an immortal whose destiny ascends to the stars in the night sky needs something on the earth to provide positioning.
The night of December 4th·Cave
"Boom", the wind and snow rolled up, rushed into the cave, and quickly turned into water, carrying the dirty garbage out, and threw it into a river far away.
Although he is Qing De, he can still do this magic.
After the completion, the soldiers entered, and within a moment, the wood started to burn, burning into several piles, surrounding a large fire in the center.
After seeing that the water was gone near the fire and smelling that there was no smell, the soldiers went to Ye Qing who was in the car.
Ye Qing opened the red curtain and saw that it was still snowing under the dark sky. He took a breath and said, "Everyone, please come in... wash the car, take the horses to the cave, and feed them."
"Yes" the soldier agreed loudly.
The further south the territory goes, the fewer villages and people there are. Around the time when the war on the Eastern Front was still raging, when Ye Qing inspected the last area, he found that there were no villages in the wilderness. It happened to be snowing again, so he looked for one.
Staying temporarily in a small cave.
It may be necessary to mention the original owner of the cave - a savage male wild boar. When a stranger came in, he showed his fangs fiercely, obviously not welcoming the guests.
In this icy world, Ye Qing was kind enough not to drive it out to suffer the cold... Well, he just turned it into a warm roast pig.
In addition to this, there is also wine in the car.
As well as all kinds of food, snacks, and even precious spices.
In just a moment, Yu's floor was covered with carpets, and there were all kinds of food and drinks, as well as a big pot.
Take the meat squeezed from the water in a large pot, boil it in boiling water, add salt, onions, garlic, dregs and other spices, then take out the round cakes and bake them on the fire.
There was a constant sizzling sound, the aroma was fragrant, steam was rising from time to time, and hot wine was boiling. Everyone sat casually. In this cold weather, it was very comfortable to eat barbecue, drink hot soup, and drink fine wine.
