The topography and landforms here are very complex and the environment is very harsh, covering an area of more than 13.7 million square kilometers.
If I could simply describe the North in one word, it would be big.
Apart from this big word, if I had to use another word to describe it, it would be desolate.
Big and wild.
Therefore, this area in the north is often called the wilderness by the people of the empire.
However, this "shortage" is relative.
To humans, this is a barren land.
For the orcs, this is a paradise.
In addition to the great wilderness, the third impression that the northern border brings to people is that of danger.
Extremely dangerous.
Moreover, danger is everywhere.
Before recovery, this was an indescribably dangerous and terrifying zone.
After the recovery, this place became a territory that the human race did not dare to set foot in easily.
Of course, in addition to the three points of greatness, desolation and danger, there are two other points that cannot be ignored for human warriors.
rich.
Chance.
The North Territory is vast and rich in resources. It is rich in many materials for medicine and weapon refining. It is also the origin of other natural materials and earthly treasures related to the cultivation resources of human warriors.
Therefore, this vast land is full of temptations.
Especially for those wild warriors and casual warriors, this is the place they most want to visit.
As long as you have a correct vision, good luck, and the courage to take risks and seize opportunities, it is possible to become rich overnight.
Speaking of which, there are mountains, rivers, grasslands, forests, deserts, Gobis, canyons, and even seas in the north.
The geographical, topographic and landform features found in other parts of the mainland can be found here, and topography and landforms not seen on the mainland are also likely to appear here.
Especially some mysterious and weird places are full of danger of death. If you accidentally enter them, you will often face death in despair.
Therefore, those human warriors who want to gain something in this hot land must not only face threats from mutant beasts, but also threats from the geographical environment, and must beware of dangers from other human warriors.
Winter City, as the largest city in the Northern Territory, is located in the southern part of the Northern Territory and the northern part of the main continent of the empire. It is the gateway to and from the Northern Territory.
Starting from here every day, there is an endless stream of trains bound for major cities in the empire, and there are also a lot of trains arriving here from the interior.
However, if you go from Winter City to places deep in the north, such as Boa Fortress, there is no train to reach it.
In fact, it’s not that the empire has never been built, it’s that it simply can’t be built.
There are not only countless types of mutant beasts in the north, but the number is terrifyingly large. Moreover, the level of mutant beasts is much higher than that in the interior, especially some unique existences, which are even more destructive.
The most important thing is that the mutated beasts hate the human race so much that it is difficult to build a human railway in their paradise.
Therefore, transporting key materials for the construction of the wilderness fortress between the northern border and Poya Fortress is not an easy task.
Nowadays, electric trucks are mainly used for transportation, but there are too many restrictions.
For example, the cruising range of the latest graphene battery panels.
Another example is the maximum load capacity of each transported cargo.
These are all problems.
However, the biggest problem is that the road is not smooth.
no way.
The higher the level of the mutant beast, the higher its IQ.
If you pick any of the mutated beasts in the north, they won't be stupider than humans.
The humans transport things from Boa Fortress to Winter City, right?
good.
You're lucky.
When you are nowhere to be found, they will start attacking you.
Rescue?
There is no way to rescue.
There are thousands of miles between Winter City and Boa Fortress, and the location where they are attacked is often far from the end point and .asxs. How do you save them?
To put it bluntly, even if we really knew the news that the convoy was under attack, we would not be able to save him in time.
What's more, in the main human living areas of the empire, including some large and medium-sized cities, communication signals have not been fully restored, let alone the northern border.
Speaking of which, the mutant beasts in the north are really smart.
They don't attack the convoy every time, because people are afraid that you will be unlucky, but they come every three or five.
The results of it?
Every attack would cause heavy casualties to the human escorts, but the mutant beasts that launched the attack could have a hearty meal and then sleep on the spot with their belly up.
That feeling...
Absolutely don't want it.
All in all, traveling between Poya Fortress and Winter City is by no means a simple matter, especially for a transport convoy. It is an arduous and dangerous journey, and the efficiency is very low.
But there is no way. The key construction materials of the Wilderness Fortress are near the Poya Fortress. If the things are not transported out, it means that there is a problem with the strategic layout for the human race.
Therefore, even though we know that the road is not smooth, we still do what we need to do.
Winter City has a garrison of 100,000 troops and a permanent population of about 3 million. Most of them are ordinary people, many of whom are engaged in business and derivative businesses.
At present, among these 3 million people, less than 20% are warriors, and the sources are relatively complicated.
Some of them are wild warriors who have traveled around and settled here.
Some of them are warriors who come here specifically to look for opportunities.
Some of them are weapon refiners or pharmacists from the interior.
Some of them are warriors born from local ordinary people.
Some of them are warriors descended from the local garrison or original residents.
Some of them are warriors from the interior visiting and communicating.
…
Of course, in a place like the Northern Territory, the Free Warriors Alliance is definitely indispensable. After all, they also need various resources and intelligence from the Northern Territory.
In addition, there are also a large number of warriors from surrounding empires who shoulder special missions in their respective empires.
These people have lived here for the benefit of their empire and are active in the industrial and commercial circles. This is something that the Imperial Martial Arts Department and the Imperial Military are well aware of.
In addition, there are also some warriors living here in the north.
Some of them belong to some martial arts organizations, some to some gangs and sects, and some to some temporary groups.
What these people are doing here is hard to say.
However, many criminal incidents such as assassinations, robberies, and frauds that occur in the northern border are often related to them to some extent.
Therefore, they are also one of the key targets of the local public security bureau, military and martial arts department.
In short, the composition of warriors in Winter City is very mixed.
However, the reasons why these people choose to stay and develop here are basically the same, that is, they hope to get more and better opportunities here.
As for what exactly this opportunity is, it varies from person to person.
