Invincible Chapter 658
In a sense, the Northland is probably the most inhospitable area in the world for human habitation.
For more than a year, there are only two seasons, spring and winter, and that spring can be used as winter by other regions. One third of the year is in a period of constant ice and snow, and the land is barren and everything withers...but it is my hometown.
During the day, you can hear the howling wind, and the cold wind without forest vegetation hinders people to tremble. If the cold wind during the day is just terribly cold, the night wind at night can really kill people. If anyone spends a night outside, There is no need to collect the corpse, it can be directly frozen in the ice as an ice coffin...but it is still my hometown.
Winter wolves, snowmen, dire bears, these beasts that have been turned into monsters can be thrown into the forests in other parts of the mainland, and they can probably play and dominate, but in the north, these are the most common beasts. Beast roars are already 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, newcomer adventurers simply cannot survive.
Avalanches, hailstorms, blizzards, frosts, droughts, severe cold, tornadoes, and snowstorms, except for heat and floods, people living in this land have become accustomed to all natural disasters, but as time goes by, the residents of this land I found the advantages of this land like finding joy in bitterness.
The barren land and the cold weather make the greedy nobles unable to bear the harshness here. Compared with those 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 masters 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 hugging together for warmth, while the threats of foreigners and monsters have made the people of the Northland accustomed to protecting themselves with their own hands. This place is rich in fighters and outstanding soldiers, and even more abundant in groups that understand True warriors of consciousness and self-sacrifice, the Northlanders have always been regarded as barbarians by the entire human society. But it is also a fighting nation without strong blood power.
In this land, the noble character and the weight of commitment are not illusory and beautiful words, but the natural temperament of a northerner, because it is in this icy and snowy land. Being exiled and isolated equals death. In the face of cruel natural tests, it is impossible for lies and cowards to pass the test every time. Honor and loyalty are necessary for survival. The true northern brave who stand out from the elimination will Be the pillar and protector of loved ones and countrymen. Cowards and big talkers die with shame.
"...The first snow this year came really early."
Even lying on the slowly advancing battleship, the coldness of the Northland still made the frail patient feel a little uncomfortable. When he rubbed his hands, what he spit out was white mist, but the familiar coldness made people feel refreshed inexplicably. vibration.
"Your Highness, this is the fourth snow this year."
Some fresh information was revealed in the words of the young attendant,
I was taken aback when I heard that, after all, I am really familiar with this area, and falling snow often represents the coming of winter. Winter preparations such as distributing winter food and organizing winter hunting teams must be completed in advance. Once the schedule is messed up, the heavy snow will greatly hinder the construction period, and I have no reason to remember the time of the winter snow period wrongly. It will be two weeks before the first snow falls.
The dead cat jumped on my shoulder. When the attendants saw her, they instinctively took half a step back. She has been my bodyguard during this time. With the fall of those transcendent assassins, "Summon the unknown black "Cat", "Reaper's Cat Raised in Eternal Night", and "The Unknown in the Shadow" have already made a big splash.
The most popular rumor right now. Probably this black cat is an evil/demon lord/death-level undead pretending to be a cat star, and it devours hundreds of souls every day.
"Big Snow Mountain."
Her words are very simple, but after a brief period of confusion, I filled in the missing logical blocks.
I asked the aide. Not surprisingly, I learned some facts and confirmed some things. Since five or six years ago, the winter in the North has come earlier and earlier, but left later and later, and the winter has become colder and colder.
"Elemental plane..."
The Daxue Mountain full of ice and snow monsters is completing the sharp change of its ice and snow elemental plane. And even though it is in the mountains of the no man's land in the Northland, because the link between the planes has not been interrupted, the seeping ice and snow elements are enough to make the cold Northland colder and colder.
In a sense, this makes the Northland more difficult to live in, but judging from the current situation where the war is approaching, it may not be a bad thing.
The biggest 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 a low-temperature environment. source.
Consumption can be supplemented by food, but if you want to hunt in winter in the Northland, you must first find prey, and even if you eat all the wild beasts in the mountains, I am afraid that there will not be enough for the demon with an amazing appetite to eat Hansai.
"Maybe, you can use it..."
Seeing this situation, I have some ideas again. Maybe the elemental creatures in the Great Snow Mountain Demon Realm can participate in the construction of the defense line of the entire Northland. Maybe we can artificially guide this natural cold defense line, but if it is to be realized, it probably still needs to be done. Need to think about it a bit more.
While I was thinking, we had completely entered the Northland, but the three giant ships of the New Polaris Fleet began to disband. Sluwell's industrial base is being repaired, while the Greedy Wolf is going to the area of the Xiluo Empire for repairs and personnel replacement.
In a sense, a fleet is the only one in this world where every large and super warship is not built and maintained together. It is very difficult for the shipyard to produce a huge ship. If they are piled up together, no base can afford it.
Yes, our new Polaris fleet is only halfway back. After all, the journey of the elves is still going on. According to the speed of walking plus stop-and-go, even if the road is unimpeded, it will be at least a year before we reach the Northland.
We originally planned to escort them all the way, but when the convoy was getting slower and slower and the journey schedule came out, our fleet couldn't afford it, and the countries of the Lan Alliance couldn't afford to wait. Especially now that the Devil's Abyss has a new trend, and the whole world has entered a sensitive period of jihad, so half of the fleet is left to continue to complete the escort mission. We came back with three battleships first.
And these three giant battleships did not return empty-handed. The seriously wounded and the special talents urgently needed by the Northland were among them, and half of the high-level officials of the Elf Empire came. Trivial but important preliminary work such as expelling wild beasts and preparing for war. Giving them a year may not be enough.
The situation on the other side of the convoy should not be a big problem. The official diplomatic notes of the countries along the way have been completed. According to the new plan, the new Polaris will be stationed in Lanmeng, and after the Jumen and Greedy Wolf complete the personnel replacement and repair, they will take The food and medicines that the elf convoy is in short supply will go again, and the other four warships will return to the North with the wounded to complete the rotation. After that, there will be several rotations according to the situation, but the convoy will keep two warships on duty.
The journey will be hard. But it is very important to the future elves of the Northland, but with the support of Lanmeng, this difficult journey is not only a test for the elves, but also an opportunity for the great integration of the elves.
Fusion, or communication and mixing, is not only the fusion of the elves, but also the fusion of the new northern elf empire and the Lanmeng, and the fusion of humans and elves.
In one sense, the catastrophe is not without its benefits, at least. It tore up those old rules and concepts, shredded the reserve and arrogance of the old masters, and gave a race a chance to re-understand the world.
This journey will be very difficult, they will pass through the human country of half a continent. Witness with your own eyes the lifestyle and cultural society that it regards as barbarians. You will be close to several war zones, and you will see cruel jihads and heroic fighters. The elves will take the initiative to join this journey. Every day new information is causing an explosion of consciousness and a conflict of ideas in the entire elf group.
I am 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 in my hands, and I don't have much energy to take care of the elves' affairs...
"I said, it's all here, I won't run away, I'm the former prince of Lan Kingdom, you should understand your responsibilities, trust me a little bit"
I was a little helpless, since I regained the ability to move, I have been accompanied by at least four attendants of the royal family of Lan Kingdom, reporting the situation to Renee on a regular basis, as if they were guarding fugitives.
"Please allow us to point out the mistakes in your words. Your Highness, you are still the prince of Lan Kingdom. Your Majesty Renee has also promised that the door of Lan Kingdom's royal family will always be open to you."
Although the words are touching, the emotion in the words is also very sincere, and the expression is also in place, but why did you get one meter closer and send a person to stand outside the house to block the door? Don't you believe me when I say I won't run away?
Looking at the nervous young attendants, I shook my head helplessly, and gave up my plan to argue with them.
"The two of you were scared into the emergency room by you, and the head guard was so nervous that he was about to jump off the ship, and he said he didn't care?"
"Tsk, that's because they didn't have enough training. I'm helping Renee train them."
Two days ago, they followed too closely, which made me feel a little uncomfortable... I know they are kind, but it’s not my fault. There are two strong men behind me when I go to the toilet. When I wake up, the faces of these strong men are in front of me. It was so disgusting that after being disgusted a few times, I did a little bit of mischief.
Suddenly disappearing, suddenly screaming, suddenly laughing, suddenly shouting that there are assassins... what is worth mentioning is that two assassins actually jumped out of the shouting assassin, it turned out that they were discovered by me...cough, well, I I admit that these actions are indeed childish and boring, but they are really effective... The effective result is that Renee doubled the number of onlookers with a swipe of a pen, and took turns in three shifts. It makes people feel like coaxing old children, am I that naive.
"Tsk, I really didn't intend to run away, why no one believes me?"
"...Who left such a big stall in Lanmeng and walked away for eight years, and finally offered rewards to become the world's first few people who didn't come back? Who wrote letters every year with the cheek to ask for the salary of the Lanmeng government, but never did it live". "
"Who is it? It's that bastard who is so shameless as a salary thief. It's really enviable...I mean shameless!"
I talked about other things, but this time I was not talking nonsense. I really didn't plan to leave, because there are some things that really have to be done in the Northland.
"Devil Sword Northland, only this land of ice and snow can give birth to this sword of natural disaster..."
Behind me, the room was white, and the misty space was colder than the outside. The lifelike ice sculptures recorded the desperate situation of the Northland, and the memories of the past were awakened bit by bit, but my Sword of the Northland was just just started. (To be continued.)
