In a sense, Northland is probably the least suitable area for human habitation in the world.
For more than a year, there are only two seasons: spring and winter. Spring can be regarded as winter in other areas. One-third of the year is in the period of constant ice and snow, and the land is barren and everything is withered... But it is my hometown.
You can hear the howling wind during the day, and the cold wind without the obstruction of forest vegetation can make people shiver. If the cold wind during the day is just too cold, the night wind at night can really kill people. If anyone spends a night outside,
There is no need to collect the corpse, just freeze it in the ice and use it as an ice coffin... But it is still my hometown.
Winter wolves, snowmen, dire bears, these beasts that have been transformed into monsters can probably be played and dominated if they are thrown into the forests of other regions on the mainland. However, in the North, these are the most common beasts. In the middle of the night, hungry cries are heard.
Beast roars have become the norm, but the most troublesome thing is hearing dragon roars, which often means that a group of hungry white dragons are too close to human residences... Living in such a hometown, new adventurers simply cannot survive.
Avalanches, hail, blizzards, frosts, droughts, severe colds, tornadoes, snowstorms, probably except for heat and floods, the people living in this land have become accustomed to all natural disasters, but as time goes by, the residents of this land have
I found the advantages of this land as if I were finding joy in the midst of hardship.
The barren land and the cold weather make the greedy nobles unable to bear the harshness here. Compared with the nobles who enjoy life in the interior, the lords who still choose to live on this land are very much like the ancestral knight lords.
Style, they are not only the owners of this territory, but also the guardians of the residents on this land.
The lack of supplies and the dangerous external environment have made the people here accustomed to staying together for warmth. The threats from foreign races and monsters have made the people of the North accustomed to protecting themselves with their own hands. This place is rich in warriors and outstanding soldiers, and even more so in groups that understand
The true warriors of consciousness and self-sacrifice, the Northlanders have always been regarded as a barbaric nation by the entire human society, but they are also a fighting nation without strong bloodline strength.
In this land, noble conduct and the weight of commitment are not illusory beautiful words, but the natural temperament of a Northlander. That is because in this land of ice and snow, being exiled and isolated is equal to death. Under the cruel test of nature,
before,
It is impossible for lies and cowardice to get away with it every time. Honor and loyal reputation are necessary for survival. The real Northland braves who stand out from the elimination will become their relatives, the pillars and protectors of the villagers. Cowards and lies
Jing will eventually die of shame.
"...The first snow this year came really early."
Even lying on the slowly moving battleship, the coldness of the Northland still makes the frail patient feel uncomfortable. He rubs his hands and spits out white mist, but the familiar coldness inexplicably makes people feel refreshed.
Vibrate.
"Your Highness, this is the fourth snowfall this year."
The words of the young attendant revealed some fresh information. I was stunned when I heard this. After all, I am really familiar with this area, and falling snow often represents the arrival of winter. Distributing winter food, organizing winter hunting teams, etc. are all preparations for the winter.
It must be completed before the deadline. Once the schedule is messed up, heavy snow will greatly hinder various construction periods. And I have no reason to remember the time of the winter snow period incorrectly. Normally, it will take at least two weeks before the first heavy snow falls.
.
The dead cat jumped on my shoulder. When the attendants saw her, they instinctively took a half step back. During this period, she has been my bodyguard. With the death of those transcendent assassins, "Summoning the unknown black
"Cat", "Death's Cat in Eternal Night Captivity", and "Ominous in the Shadow" have become popular.
The most popular rumor now is that this black cat is probably a god/demon lord/death-level undead disguised as a cat star, and it devours hundreds of souls every day.
"Snowy Mountains."
Her words were very simple. But after a brief period of confusion, I filled in the missing pieces of logic.
I asked the attendant. Not surprisingly, I learned some facts and confirmed some things. Since five or six years ago, winter in the North has come earlier and earlier, and left later and later, and winter has also changed.
It's getting colder and colder.
"Elemental plane..."
The Snow Mountain, which is full of ice and snow monsters, is completing a sharp change in its ice and snow elemental plane. Although it is in the uninhabited mountains of the North, because the plane connection has not been interrupted, the ice and snow elements seeping out are enough to make
The cold Northland is getting colder and colder.
In a sense, this makes the Northland more difficult to live in, but considering the current situation with the war approaching, it is not necessarily a bad thing.
The greatest weapons of demons are probably their powerful bodies and abundant magic power. Even if the innate restraint of ice on the fire attribute is not considered, heat will be lost at a high speed in low temperature environments. The powerful body and magic power of relying on instinct to fight will become a huge drain on them.
the source of.
The consumption can be replenished through food, but if you want to hunt in the winter in the North, you must first find prey, and even if you eat all the beasts in the mountains, it may not be enough to fill the teeth of the devil with an amazing appetite.
"Maybe we can use it..."
Seeing this situation, I have some ideas. Maybe the elemental creatures from the Demonic Realm of the Snowy Mountains can participate in the construction of the entire Northland's defense line. Maybe we can artificially guide this natural cold defense line, but if it is to be realized, it may still be difficult.
Need to think about it more.
While I was thinking, we had completely entered the Northland, and the three giant ships of the New Polaris Fleet began to disband. The New Polaris continued northward, heading to Difende, the nameless capital of the Lan Alliance, and the Giant Gate.
The industrial base in Siluwell was undergoing repairs, while the Greedy Wolf went to the West Luo Empire area for repairs and personnel replacement.
In a sense, it is the only fleet in this world where every large and super battleship is not built and maintained in the same place. But the foundation of the Lan Alliance is here. In just the past few years, a
The shipyard can barely build a giant ship. If they are piled together, no single base can afford it.
Yes, only half of our new Polaris fleet is back. After all, the elves' journey is still going on. At that walking and stop-and-go speed, even if the journey is smooth, it will be at least a year before they reach the Northland.
We originally planned to escort all the way. But the convoy is getting slower and slower. After the journey timetable is released, our fleet cannot afford it. The countries of the Lan Alliance cannot afford to wait, especially now that there are new trends in the Demonic Abyss. The whole world has entered a holy war.
It was a sensitive period, so half of the fleet was left to continue completing the escort mission. We returned three warships first.
And these three giant battleships did not return empty-handed. Among them were the seriously injured and the special talents that the Northland urgently needed. Half of the top leaders of the Elf Empire were also here. They must seize the time to do the preliminary work, select sites, and build cities.
Driving away wild beasts, preparing for war and other trivial but important preliminary work. Giving them one year may not be enough.
The situation on the convoy side should not be much of a problem. Official diplomatic notes from various countries along the way have been completed. According to the new plan, the new Polaris will be stationed in Lanmeng, Jumen, and Tanlang after completing the personnel replacement and repairs.
The urgently needed food and medicine for the Elf convoy will arrive again, while the other four warships will return to the North with the wounded to complete the rotation. After that, several rotations will be carried out according to the situation, but two warships will remain on duty over the convoy.
This journey will be very difficult, but it is very important to the future elves of the North. However, with the support of the Lan Alliance, this difficult journey is a test for the elves, but it is also an opportunity for the great integration of the elves.
Integration, or communication and mixing, is not only the fusion within the elves, but also the fusion of the newly born Northern Elf Empire and the Lan Alliance, and the fusion of humans and elves.
In a sense, the disaster is not without benefits. At least, it tears apart those old rules and concepts, and the reserve and arrogance of the masters of the old era. It gives a race a chance to re-understand the world.
This journey will be difficult. They will pass through half a continent of human countries. They will see with their own eyes the lifestyle and cultural society that they regard as barbarians. They will be close to several war zones. They will see cruel jihad and heroic warriors, and as they follow
With the return of the elven imperial power, as the situation on the continent has extremely deteriorated, countless wild elven groups will take the initiative to join this journey. New information every day is causing an explosion of consciousness and conflict of ideas among the entire elven group.
I'm looking forward to what the elves will gain, understand, gain, lose, give up, and awaken from this journey.
Of course, I have a lot of things on my hands, and I don’t have much energy to take care of the elves’ affairs...
"I said, we are all here. I will not run away. I am still the former prince of the Lan Kingdom. You should understand your responsibilities and trust me a little."
I was a little helpless. Since I regained my ability to move, I have been accompanied by at least four attendants from the Lan Kingdom royal family, reporting to Renee at designated points. It is almost like guarding a fugitive.
"Please allow us to point out the error in your words. Your Highness, you are still the prince of the Lan Kingdom. Your Majesty Renee has also admitted that the door of the royal family of the Lan Kingdom will always be open to you."
Although these words are touching, the emotion in the words is also very sincere, and the expressions are on point, but why did you come one meter closer and send someone to stand outside the house to block the door? I said I won't run away and you just
Don’t believe it?
Looking at the nervous young attendants, I shook my head helplessly and gave up my plan to argue with them.
"You scared us two into the emergency room, and the captain of the guard is so nervous that he almost jumped ship, and you still say you don't care?"
"Tsk, that's because they haven't been trained enough. I'm here to help Renee train them."
They followed them too closely the past two days, which made me a little uncomfortable... I know they mean well, but it's really not my fault. There were two strong men following me when I went to the toilet. When I woke up, it felt like the faces of these strong men were right in front of me.
It was so disgusting that after being disgusted a few times, I did some pranks.
Suddenly disappeared, suddenly screamed, suddenly laughed, suddenly called for assassins... It is worth mentioning that two assassins actually jumped out when I called for assassins. It turned out that they were discovered by me... Ahem, okay, I
I admit that these actions are indeed a bit childish and boring, but they are indeed very effective... The effective result is that with a swipe of Renee's pen, the number of onlookers doubled, and she also worked in three shifts, putting on a smiling face as soon as they met,
It almost makes people feel like they are trying to coax an old child. Am I that naive?
"Tsk, I really didn't plan to run away, why doesn't anyone believe me?"
"... Who left such a big business in Lanmeng and walked away for eight years, and finally the reward was so high that it was the first in the world and they still haven't come back. Who still shamelessly writes letters every year, asking for salary from the Lanmeng government, but never does it?
live"."
"Who is it? It's that bastard who is such a shameless salary thief. It's really enviable... I mean shameless!"
I looked around and talked about other things, but this time I rarely talked nonsense. I really had no intention of leaving, because there were some things that I really had to do in the North.
"The North of the Demon Sword is the only land of ice and snow that can give birth to this sword of natural disaster..."
Behind me, the room is also completely white, and the mist-shrouded space is colder than outside. The lifelike ice sculptures record the desperate situation in the North. The past memories are awakened little by little, but my sword of the North is just
