There were no unexpected gains during this inspection, nor was it a huge disappointment.
After all, Sean has often manipulated the thundering golden eagle to wander around here, and he knows most of the situations by heart.
Compared with the Andis Crater, the terrain of the Andis East Mountains is not as undulating. There are neither scary-high mountains nor insurmountable deep ravines.
Some places may not be suitable for large-scale marches, but for Sean and his party, roads are everywhere, and nowhere is it easy to walk.
The lifestyle of the Duanya clan is mainly based on gathering and hunting, with some sporadic farming and scattering seeds all over the mountains and fields. How much they can harvest in the end depends entirely on God's pattern.
Generally speaking, this place is still in an original ecological state.
Yong Yejun led the development here, basically starting from scratch.
Sean was accustomed to this situation. According to the standards of Yongye Army Leader, let alone the original home of the Duanya clan, even the prosperous Asia Minor plains were still at the early stage of development, and the most luxurious roads were no more than It is a rural road standard.
If it weren't for Jacob Jiang's convenience, the development speed of trade and industry under the Yongye Army would never have been so rapid.
But it's not so convenient when you get to Andis Dongluan.
If you want to develop, the first thing you need to do is invest huge sums of money to build a highway directly through the Kentana Icefield.
If you want to develop, you must first build roads.
This is already one of the core concepts of the development of Yongye Military Leader.
Only when the roads are open can the special products and materials here be transported out in a more convenient way.
Only when the roads are open can a large amount of manpower and material resources be transported in.
According to the current development plan of Yong Ye Military Leader, the development of Andis Dongluan should be at the bottom, and it is impossible to mobilize a large number of manpower and material resources in a short period of time.
In the next few years, or even more than ten years, this place is expected to be deserted and used as a reserved hunting area. During this period, the Yongye Army's main energy will be concentrated on the Donau Plain.
They don't have that many manpower to cultivate the fertile farmland, so how can they have the time to take care of the mountains here?
It is estimated that the ancient Andis Empire was also in the same situation.
Unknowingly, the mountains became lower and lower, and what we stepped on was a piece of hard soil - the tundra steppe.
Strictly speaking, the tundra grassland is also part of the remnants of the Andis Mountains, because compared to the Odin Grassland, the average altitude here is still four to five hundred meters higher.
The northern half of the Kentana Icefield is a solid iceberg, and underneath the snow that does not melt all year round, it is completely covered with ice.
The most intuitive feeling when arriving here is that it is cold. Not only is the air cold, but the earth is also exuding a biting cold air, and the sun radiates cold light.
"The temperature difference is big enough. We have already felt the spring in the mountains. Why is it still so cold here?" Marshal Tagore, who was walking here for the first time, couldn't help but rub his cold face and said Not fully adapted to this severe cold.
"Welcome to Kentana." General Cologne said with a grin, "Where is this? You have never seen the death ice storm on the ice sheet. It lasted for three days and three nights. The violent snowstorm lasted for three days and three nights. Let alone people, there are many thin Even the Koremons can't survive it, and in that case, you can't even hope to have a peaceful sleep."
"Why?" Marshal Tagore asked curiously.
"Because you have to get up and clear the snow every once in a while, otherwise you will be trapped under the heavy snow and never be able to climb out." General Cologne said with a smile.
"The heavy snow that drowned the Kentana people? Is it such an exaggeration?" Marshal Tagore opened his mouth.
"When you have the opportunity to see it in the future, you will know that what I described is less than one-tenth of its true power." General Cologne looked serious and did not look like he was joking at all.
"You don't have to wait. In another half day, you will have the opportunity to experience Kentana's unique weather. A snowstorm is coming." General Zuyuan strode back and said. It had just been his turn to serve as an outpost and lead people to check the situation ahead.
"Ah? Do you need to retreat to the mountains for a while?" Marshal Tagore asked hurriedly.
"It's not necessary. It's just an ordinary blizzard. It will pass after a while. The kind of blizzard General Cologne just mentioned is a rare occurrence in decades. If every blizzard was so terrifying, we Kentana people would have become extinct long ago.
Yes." General Zuyuan said with a smile.
"You want me to deliberately embarrass you!" Marshal Tagore glared at General Cologne angrily. Those honest-looking people played tricks on others, which made it even more difficult for people to guard against.
"Let us feel the enthusiasm of the Kentana Icefield. We also take the opportunity to plan the next trip. After you have made the arrangements, come directly to my camp." Sean left the matter of setting up camp to Cologne.
General and General Zuyuan.
The Kentana barbarians they lead are all masters of survival in this extreme environment. They have already developed a set of means to deal with this extreme environment, so they don't need to worry about it at all.
Sure enough, within an hour, they gathered all the koleys and formed a formation of koleys and tents intersecting to withstand the coming snowstorm.
The benefit of doing this is obvious. The Kolei Beast can help the tent withstand part of the storm wind and prevent the tent from being lifted up.
The relatively tall tent can also share some of their pressure and help them keep warm.
Although these Kore beasts had never set foot on the Kentana Icefield since the day they were born, they clearly felt something. They obeyed the arrangements extremely docilely, as if they had been practiced countless times, and everything seemed to be engraved in their genes.
They had just set up camp in front of them, but the blizzard arrived behind them.
The dark clouds cover the sky, completely blocking the sun which feels like it doesn't provide much heat.
The cold wind was cold and fast, and was mixed with fine ice particles like sand. If you were exposed to it, it would be like someone rubbing your face with an invisible piece of sandpaper.
It didn't take long for the fine ice particles to turn into large snowflakes, which fell one after another. Before they could cover the ground, they were carried away by the strong wind.
However, it couldn't withstand the heavy snowfall. It didn't take long for the entire envoy camp to be covered with a thick layer of snow. The Kolei beasts lay there motionless, letting the heavy snow cover their bodies.
Only the big mouths that keep chewing prove that they are still alive.
Like cattle, koleys are also ruminants. Their stomachs are larger and more abundant than those of bulls, occupying half of their huge bodies. They are like bottomless pits. Whenever they have the opportunity, they will desperately eat into their own stomachs.
If something is stuffed in their bellies, they can even hoard part of the food in their bodies like hamsters.
This is a function that evolved purely to cope with an environment of extreme food shortage.
The bonfire in the camp had already been lit, with a large pot on top of it simmering a pot full of food.
Not only meat, but also fish, frozen tofu, bean sprouts, vermicelli, dried fungus mushrooms, etc. There is a little bit in it for any food that is easy to store and carry.
While Sean was busy throwing in condiments such as chopped green onion and coriander, he said with a smile: "This kind of weather is perfect for sitting on the hot bed listening to the sound of wind and snow outside, drinking strong wine, and eating this kind of big pot stew, hot
There is no kang head, but there is still no problem with the bonfire. The fire is almost done, and you can move the chopsticks. Before that, the wine must be filled. "
"Is this what your lord is talking about?" Marshal Tagore raised the full wine glass in his hand and sipped his saliva and said, "I'm just waiting for your lord's food to go with the wine."
"That's good. Before we serve the food, one of us has to leave first. Come on, I'll do it first as a courtesy." Sean raised his head and drank his own cup first.
The sudden snowstorm made him very excited and started a drinking party.
"Refreshing! Master Zu Ling is indeed Master Zu Ling. I like this kind of boldness." Zu Yuan laughed and followed up. He raised his head and drank his own. He bared his teeth and said, "Good wine."
!Powerful enough!”
"Come, come, come!"
"Do it, do it, do it!"
There was not a single person present who had stage fright in this aspect, they all just put their heads up and started doing it without saying a word.
"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, try my cooking skills. I haven't done it for a while, I don't know if my skills have deteriorated."
"Well, it's delicious, it's delicious. I have never eaten such delicious food. Not only the meat and vegetables are full of flavor, but also the soup is so delicious."
"I didn't expect Master Zu Ling to have such a skill. It is our greatest honor to be able to eat food cooked by Master Zu Ling himself."
"The lord's craftsmanship is still as exquisite as ever. It's better to show less in the future. If we taste too much of the lord's craftsmanship, how can we eat the food of the army again in the future?"
"Haha... Exquisiteness has exquisite enjoyment, and a big pot has the advantages of a big pot. If you are hungry for two days, will you still have time to say this?"
"Come on, come on, have another bite."
A group of eight champion knights gathered around the cauldron to feast. They all had the ability to multi-task. While talking and laughing, they never stopped using the dishes and chopsticks.
For them, this big pot of stew is just an appetizer, and each person can finish it with just a few chopsticks.
Sean was already prepared for this, and the big pot of stew turned into a big pot of hot pot, with the soup base, various slices of meat and vegetables that had been prepared kept being poured into it.
After each person drank a pound of strong liquor, the conversation became more intense, and the relationship between the two parties became much closer. General Zuyuan even took off his armor, went shirtless, and sang a song unique to the Kentana barbarians. If it weren't for the venue,
No, there is a possibility of a Kentana barbarian war dance.
As the saying goes, art knows no boundaries or races.
Although General Zuyuan is tall, thick and hairy, he looks like a human-shaped bear, but he has good artistic abilities. Kentana's barbarian songs are very tasteful, fully expressing the unique roughness and boldness of barbarians.
Even if you don't understand the language, you can still be introduced to the unique picture of the Kentana barbarians fighting against the sky, the earth, and nature by its rough and textured voice.
Not only did the people in Sean's tent couldn't help but knock the tools in their hands and make sounds in agreement, but echoing songs also came from other tents, which forcibly covered up the howling of the snowstorm in the Kentana Icefield.
When you are in Sean's position, eating and drinking often have a purpose.
In the past year, he has been squatting in the mage tower, creating many incredible things, and at the same time, he has not squandered the fireworks of the world. It is not that he has some signs of deification, but he has become deified, especially in the minds of the Kentana barbarians, he is aloof.
The giant incarnation of the ancestral spirit.
Being aloof certainly has its benefits.
But emotionally, he always seems too distant.
As a lord, he does not necessarily have to get along with the people below him, but occasionally it is a good choice to build closer relationships and feelings. Otherwise, if it continues, he will really become a loner and be worshiped as a god.
The enjoyment was only temporary, and the conversation eventually turned to the purpose of this time.
As for the impact of drinking on them, it is not particularly big. With their physical fitness reaching their level, it is a bit difficult for them to get drunk like ordinary people. No matter how much they drink, they can only stay half or six points drunk.
If you drink it, even if your body functions are damaged, it will not continue to increase your intoxication.
Because after being stimulated by alcohol, their body metabolism speeds up involuntarily, and ethanol and ether, which have side effects on the body, will be quickly decomposed and eliminated from the body.
Just like their physical poison resistance and wound healing are superior to ordinary people.
This is a characteristic that appears after the body has been tempered to a certain extent.
This is even more obvious in the bodies of the great knights and champion knights led by the Eternal Night Army, because their ultimate combat skills make their bodies no longer pure, and incorporate a large amount of magical energy into their bodies.
Fundamentally speaking, they are taking the same path as Sean, they are both transforming their bodies into symbols.
The only difference is that Sean knows what he is doing and works hard in this direction.
These champion knights are completely passive. They still exercise as before and let the magic energy subtly change their bodies.
There is also an unexpected benefit here, which is that it breaks the upper limit of human fitness.
Theoretically, with the help of magical energy, their physical fitness can continue to improve.
After all, what originally limited the upper limit of human body quality was the own power conversion system. After it was improved to a certain level, it could no longer be improved. With the intervention of magic energy, this was obviously broken.
How far they will go in the end, even Sean, the instigator, doesn't know. After all, they have no information to learn from and can only move forward gropingly.
"I think our primary goal for this trip is still the safari tribe." General Cologne took the initiative to express his thoughts.
Since these two Kentana barbarian tribes were temporarily united and did not even have a serious name, the leader of the Evernight Army now refers to them by their main components, which is easy to understand.
"Oh? Is there a reason? Please tell me in detail." Sean asked curiously.
The senior leaders of the Yongye Army had discussed whether to send envoys to the hunting tribe or the sea hunting tribe first before the trip. However, due to the relatively limited information they had on them, the matter was somewhat unresolved.
Because the difference does not seem to be too big, and once they enter the tundra grassland, the variables will increase significantly. Finding the Kentana barbarian tribe has become their first priority.
Decided to act according to the situation when the time comes. If it doesn't work out which tribe to find first, then that tribe will be the first target.
Now General Cologne has brought up old matters again. During the previous discussion, these Kentana barbarian generals listened most of the time, and this was the first time they took the initiative to provide opinions.
"Firstly, the scale of safari is larger. The population is more than three times that of the sea hunting tribe. The large population means that their food ration gap is larger. The current situation is even worse. They are more eager to find a way out. I'm afraid that we
If they arrive too late, they will lose their patience and move south first to launch an attack on the military leader. Once it is dragged into a war, the difficulty of peaceful resolution will be greatly increased." General Cologne analyzed clearly.
"It makes sense." Sean's eyes lit up and he nodded in agreement, "What about the second place?"
