Chapter 1010 1009 Winter Empire

Chapter 1010 1009. Winter Empire

[In the first year of the Mechanical Calendar, the goddess descended. She and the king signed a contract. Since then, history has entered a new era. ]

Under the sharp moonlight, the ten-year-old white-haired chief of the Winter Tribe stared blankly at the goddess who descended in front of him. The goddess' figure with both strength and beauty was reflected in her clear and foolish eyes.

Elsa, who was still young, did not know what true faith was in the past, but when the six words "No kneeling, stand up" came into her ears, the young chief subconsciously stood up straight.

She thought this goddess was pretty good, and she would believe in her for a few days to see if she could make her people live a good life.

[In the 10th year of the Mechanical Calendar, the Frost Ghost Tribe in the north invaded. Under the protection of the goddess and the guidance of the king, the Winter Tribe won the battle. That night, the king received divine revelation in his dream, and the era of machinery began. 】

The white snowfield was stained red with blood. Elsa, who was already 20 years old, led the team back from the battlefield in triumph. The people in the tribe cheered for the heroes.

That night, the Winter Tribe held a grand celebration. People gathered in the God's Descent Square, singing, dancing, and drinking.

Elsa didn't like dancing as much as before. As the chief of the tribe, she was much calmer now. She just looked at the lively scene in front of her with satisfaction, and then looked up at the goddess statue in the center of the square.

That was the place where they first lit a bonfire and held a prayer ceremony ten years ago, and it was also the place where she made a contract with the goddess.

But compared to the barren wilderness ten years ago, the tribe is now much more prosperous. They have built a square here, and looking out from the square, there are rows of solid and warm wooden houses, wide streets, and various shops.

Outside, there are cold-resistant farmlands, pastures, and wineries.

Not far away, there are clanging sounds from blacksmiths hammering steel. They are repairing the weapons and equipment of today's warriors.

In short, although it is called a tribe, it is actually a very prosperous town. It is completely different from the life of the savages who had few thatched houses ten years ago.

This also made Elsa think of the Frost Ghost Tribe that had just been conquered and annexed today. I don't know how those barbarians who don't even have armor and metal weapons dared to plunder them. It was really humiliating.

However, after annexing the Frost Ghost Tribe this time, they also captured a lot of people. The lack of labor force is now available, and it can better complete the guidance of the goddess.

Elsa thought so in her heart.

Well, thank the goddess, it was her guidance that made the Winter Tribe get rid of ignorance and move towards civilization and prosperity. Otherwise, they would probably still be worried about food like the Frost Ghost Tribe.

As she drank, she listened to the singing and dancing and the sound of iron forging not far away. Her vision gradually blurred and she fell asleep.

In that half-awake state, she saw the moonlight and the flames again, as well as the goddess holding a hammer in the fire.

"Meet the goddess."

Elsa bowed and saluted.

Although she almost wanted to kneel down and worship, she finally held back because the goddess did not allow them to kneel down. She said that her people did not need to kneel down to anyone.

Although the chief lady now knew how difficult it was to achieve this oracle, she was willing to work hard for this goal.

However,

the goddess just looked at her quietly, with a gentle and loving look, and then held her in her arms and hugged her gently.

"Cry if you want to. No one else here will see your tears."

So, Elsa, who had always maintained confidence and smile in the face of the cheers and shouts of the people, felt a sore nose and burst into tears.

"Goddess, I'm so scared. War is so terrible. Kale, Linde, Roman and others are dead. They died to protect me."

Kale, Linde, Roman are all childhood sweethearts who grew up with her. A month ago, they were drinking and eating together, imagining the future, but now Elsa can no longer see them.

Although the Winter Tribe won this battle, what's the point? They didn't want to fight in the first place, they just wanted to live their lives in peace, but the damn Frost Ghost Tribe insisted on running to plunder, and finally had to fight.

Now the war is won, but many of her companions who went with her at the beginning will never come back.

"Goddess, why is there a war? Why can't we live in peace?"

Elsa lay in the arms of the goddess, she asked puzzledly.

The goddess did not answer this, she just asked.

"Do you still remember your original wish when you prayed to me before?"

"I hope all the tribesmen can live a good life."

The chief lady answered immediately.

She never forgot this.

Then, she saw the goddess' beautiful and dreamy face smiling, which intoxicated her in a trance and was engraved in the depths of her soul.

"Then I wish you can master the power to protect yourself. I hope you have not forgotten the original wish when we meet next time."

The goddess said so.

Then, Elsa woke up from her dream.

At the same time, in the busy blacksmith shop, a thin young blacksmith named Walter looked at the cover that was blown away by the steam, and couldn't help but sigh that the power of the steam was really great.

"This is much stronger than my strength. It would be great if I could use it."

The young blacksmith thought so in his heart.

[20 years of the Mechanical Calendar, nine years since Mr. Walter, the steam mentor, created the first steam. The power of steam spread throughout Winter City under the guidance of the great Queen Elsa. It was also this year that the Frostwolf Clan, the overlord of the northern snowfield, invaded. ]

Woo-ow

The shrill wolf howl sounded in the snowstorm, which was frightening to hear. Then, in the blizzard that was enough to cover people's vision and make people unable to see the scene five meters away, a series of red lights lit up in the night.

They were terrible frost wolves.

This is a special creature of the northern snowfield. It is much larger than the wild wolves in ordinary places. The adult frost wolf is three or four meters long and more than one meter tall, enough to carry a fully armed warrior.

The Frostwolf Clan is very good at taming frost wolves. Their ancestors have become frost wolf knights relying on the power of their frost wolf companions. Under the collective charge of the wolf cavalry, few enemies on the snowfield can stop them.

Just

"Father, are we really going to attack Winter City? I think this is too risky. We have enough food this year, so there is no need to take such risks."

A heroic female knight with a ponytail looked at the majestic tall city wall in front of her. She pursed her lips and persuaded the tall and mighty man beside her.

But the answer she got was a loud slap in the face.

"Akate, why are you cowardly? There is only and only one master in the North, and that is our Frostwolf Clan. If it weren't for that damn white dragon that has been making trouble, we should have destroyed Winter City a long time ago."

The man shouted angrily.

The time for action is just around the corner. He does not allow anyone to shake the morale of the army, even his most beloved daughter.

"Prepare for action, Akate, I don't want to say it again, otherwise you know the consequences yourself. As a punishment, you are not worthy of charging on the front line. Roll back to the back and be a logistics."

After the man said this, he pulled the reins in his hand and led the way forward.

However, when he looked up and saw the tall and majestic wall in front of him, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

The cavalry charge was most afraid of being blocked by the wall. His daughter was right. This hard attack was not a good idea.

But there was no way. As he said, the North did not need two overlords. The resources of this snowy plain were too scarce to support two overlords.

The Frostwolf Clan used to be the uncrowned king of the North. All tribes submitted to them and paid tribute regularly. However, since the inexplicable rise of the Winter City that came out of nowhere, more and more tribes have joined them in recent years.

If the Frostwolf Clan does not take action, then their past hegemonic status will be lost, and those tribes that paid tribute in the past will all turn to the Winter City. At that time, the Frostwolf Clan will no longer have such a good life of food and clothing as it is now.

Now, he has no choice.

In response, the girl named Akat just covered her burning face and remained silent.

She remembered the envoy sent by Winter City a few days ago, who invited her father to reach a trade cooperation with Winter City, saying that it would be a win-win situation.

Although she didn't understand it very well, she thought it seemed like a good idea, but her father was furious, and then organized today's action.

Alas, I hope everything goes well today.

Akat also pulled the reins and drove the rare pure white frost wolf to the end of the team.

However, she was a little confused as she walked. After all, according to tradition, for cowards who disturbed the morale of the army, shouldn't she be punished by charging at the front line and using her life to open the way? Why did her father punish her to the logistics troops?

Oh, that's right, she was the bravest warrior of the younger generation in the clan. If she rushed to the front line, it would actually be a reward for her, not a punishment.

Akat had to think so.

Soon, they were hiding under the wind and snow and were at the gates of the city, and the Winter City on the opposite side seemed to be unaware of it.

So, the leading tribe leader clamped his legs around the wolf's belly, and the black wolf jumped directly onto the city wall. The sharp wolf claws were inserted into the brick cracks of the city wall, and ice spread under the wolf claws, helping it to crawl on the city wall better.

With the tribe leader leading, many wolf cavalrymen behind him also took action, and they crawled towards the top of the city wall silently.

The city wall is indeed an obstacle for the cavalry, but their frost wolf cavalry are not ordinary cavalry, and this is also the reason why they dare to attack when they see this tall city wall.

However, just when the wolf cavalry was about to reach the top of the city wall, a woman with white hair leaned out of the city wall, holding a black long pole in her hand. This strange long pole was aimed at the strongest frost wolf tribe leader rushing below, almost directly pointing at his head.

"Bang"

A crisp sound rang out in the wind and snow, followed by the sound of leaking air.

Then, the leading clan leader fell down from the city wall powerlessly, with a small bloody hole on his forehead.

And this was just the beginning. Soon, many guards appeared on the city wall, each holding a strange long pole.

The wolf cavalrymen were terrified when they saw this, and they fled in all directions, but it was too late.

Continuous roars sounded, and people poured out of the city wall like rain.

"Father."

Acate, who was in the logistics unit in the distance, had been paying attention to this side with concern, and after seeing her father fall, she roared with bloodshot eyes.

She subconsciously wanted to drive the white wolf under her to charge, but the man who had fallen in the air not far away finally shook his head towards her, and then opened and closed his lips to tell her the last words.

The two were far apart, and it was a blizzard. In addition, the man was about to die, and his last breath was not enough to support shouting, so Akat did not hear his father's words clearly.

But she knew lip reading, which was taught to her by her father before.

So, she realized what her father's last words were.

"Surrender, submit, and live."

In an instant, the knight girl seemed to have lost all her strength. She looked up and looked ahead. The last wolf cavalry had all been shot and killed at this moment, and on the city wall, the black poles in the hands of the guards were all pointing towards her.

At this moment, Akat smelled the smell of death.

As a warrior, the knight girl did not understand too many things, but at this moment, she suddenly realized one thing, that is,

the times have changed.

The Frostwolf clan surrendered, and the City of Winter officially became the overlord of the North.

[In the 30th year of the Mechanical Calendar, the North was unified, Queen Elsa ascended the throne, was crowned the Ice Queen, and the Winter Empire was established. On the day of her ascension, the miracle reappeared, the goddess bestowed the Holy Hammer, and the Mechanicus was established. ]

Elsa is already 40 years old, but as a favored person by the goddess, her appearance has not changed since she was 30 years old, and she has always remained at the peak of her beauty.

Since the conquest of the Frostwolf Clan ten years ago, Winter City has become the new overlord of the North. As the Lord of Winter City, she is also the new uncrowned king.

And these ten years have also made her calm and majestic. The girl who danced the prayer dance, with clear eyes and stupidity has disappeared, and the weak who was afraid and wanted to cry after the first war has also transformed.

What still exists today is the Ice Queen who can decide the fate of the entire North with a single word.

And Winter City is particularly lively tonight.

Compared to the small town 20 years ago, the current Winter City has expanded more than a hundred times and has become a real giant city. However, the center of the city is still the God's Descent Square, but next to the square, a majestic and tall palace has taken shape.

Tomorrow is the day when the empress ascends the throne and the Winter Empire is established, so the palace is crowded with busy people. Many people have been waiting here overnight, just to see the great empress as soon as possible tomorrow.

In the newly built gorgeous palace, Elsa is processing documents in the study.

"Your Majesty, you should rest."

The door of the room was pushed open, and the armored general Akat walked in. She looked at the empress in front of her, frowned, and said so.

She had complicated feelings for the woman in front of her.

Elsa was the murderer of her father, and she should have killed her by any means to avenge her father.

However, the past ten years of getting along with each other made her admire her and even admire her. She knew that she shouldn't have such emotions towards an enemy, but she really couldn't control it. After all, this was a wise king who made all the people in the North well-fed and clothed.

She was so ambitious and broad-minded that even a guy like her who had a grudge against her could be appointed as a general. She even said that if she wanted to take revenge one day, she would give herself a fair chance to duel.

At first, Akat really wanted to challenge her directly, but she had given up the idea in the past few years because only Elsa could save the North.

Although it was very sorry to say this to her father, the revenge for killing her father was really not enough to be compared with the future of the entire North.

"Yes, yes, I know, I'll rest after dealing with these."

Elsa looked at the general who was both her enemy and her best friend, and smiled. She pointed to the mountain of documents on the table and said so.

Even if she was a body favored by God, this kind of high-intensity work every day still made her a little tired.

Akate was silent for a moment, then found a chair to sit down.

"Then I'll watch you."

The general knew the character of the empress. She never kept her word. If she didn't watch her, who knows how long she would work overtime.

"Yes, yes, yes"

Elsa nodded helplessly.

Then, the two of them were silent, one handling official business, and the other watching her handle official business.

Time passed slowly, and Akate was suddenly startled. She found that she had dozed off and fell asleep without knowing when.

This was normal, after all, for tomorrow's founding ceremony, she had been working overtime for several days and had not slept well.

When she woke up, she found that she was actually covered with a blanket.

This must have been covered by Elsa for her, after all, there was no one else in the room.

The general was a little ashamed of this.

She was obviously here to urge His Majesty to rest, but she fell asleep first.

But when she looked up at the desk, she smiled.

The always dignified and confident empress was also lying on the table at this time, and she fell asleep without knowing when.

Akat walked forward and gently picked up the empress's body. Her superb martial arts skills made her not wake up the person in her arms even so.

However, she suddenly saw the dignified empress in her arms suddenly burst into a childlike smile, and murmured so.

"Goddess."

In response, the general lady curled her lips.

"Oh, I really don't understand you fanatics."

In the dream, Elsa saw the goddess of light and fire again.

She said to the goddess with some pride as she did in her teenage years.

"My lady goddess, I did not violate your expectations, nor did I forget my wish. I did it."

The queen entered the dream.
