Chapter 734: The Fire Kingdom in the Ice Plane

[Seglanrest] plane, also known as the ice plane by players, is about 1/3 of the size of the main plane.

The rulers of the ice plane are humans, just like the main plane.

A long time ago, there were no humans in the ice plane, only some indigenous wild animals, which was a bit like the dinosaur era of Blue Star.

Later, the ancient great powers of the main plane who were good at interstellar shuttle discovered this plane before Bard, and with the mentality of not wasting, they forcibly transported a group of "ancestors" to live in this plane.

The "ancestors" spread out in the ice plane, and gradually became the rulers of this plane with wisdom far superior to that of wild animals.

Although 1/5 of the ice plane is covered with ice and snow and is extremely cold, there are still many areas with warm climate and abundant rainfall near the equator.

Humans in the ice plane also mainly live in these areas, competing with other animals for living space and territory.

...

The largest human country in this plane is called [Fire Country], which is located near the equator and has an area of ​​about one-fourth of the Plantagenet Empire.

The reason why it is called "Fire Country" is that the people of this country have a fanatical and paranoid worship of flames, believing that "fire" is the cornerstone for human survival and fighting against the cold winter.

"Fire" is also the totem of faith for everyone in this country.

However, for now, this "Fire Country" is not peaceful.

In the east of the Fire Country, a massive peasant uprising is kicking off.

The reason why the peasant uprising occurred is essentially similar to the cause of the peasant uprising on Blue Star - the ruling group levied heavy taxes and was greedy, and the fruits of the labor of ordinary farmers were robbed. Living under high pressure, the grain harvested after working hard for a year can barely feed themselves.

At this time, as long as there is a major disaster or a famine, the originally overwhelmed social system will collapse instantly.

The peasants have no food to eat, so they can only go out of their homes with weapons (farm tools), and I will rob whoever has food.

A peasant uprising began like this.

...

There is a medium-sized city called [White Stone City] in the central part of the Fire Country.

Baishi City had just experienced the war brought by the peasant uprising.

Now the gates of Baishi City were wide open, and countless corpses were scattered outside and under the city walls, and blood flowed like a river.

The city was filled with the sounds of burning, killing, looting, and women's cries.

Many houses were burned to ashes in the raging fire.

The peasant rebels dressed in fancy clothes were celebrating their victory on the streets of the city.

They held shining weapons in their right hands and "trophies" robbed from the residents in the city in their left hands.

Moreover, they did not care about the lives of the residents in the city at all. Once they saw good things, they would rush to grab them, and immediately chased after beautiful women.

When the peasants first started the uprising, they were resisting exploitation, which was a just cause.

But gradually, they lost themselves in the gold and silver treasures they robbed, and pointed their butcher knives at civilians like them. The dragon slayer gradually turned into an evil dragon.

…

In a luxurious mansion in the center of Baishi City, the leader of the peasant uprising army, Duke Glenn Flame, sat on the main seat of the hall with a frown on his face.

There were also six trusted generals standing under the main seat, and their faces were not very good at this time.

If the people of Blue Star saw this scene, they would definitely be very strange-Duke Glenn was obviously a duke, why did he become the leader of the peasant uprising army? Shouldn't the peasant uprising army resist him, the nobles who oppressed the peasants?

However, the fact is that the situation of Blue Star cannot be used to fit the situation of the Fire Country.

On Blue Star, the gap between people is very small, even a beggar like Zhu Yuanzhang has the opportunity to compete for the throne of the emperor;

But in the Ice Plane, this is a high-level martial arts plane.

The gap in human strength in the high-level martial arts plane is very large. Even if 100,000 ordinary people hold bows and arrows, they can't beat a flying fifth-level strongman.

There is no point in having more people.

In this case, if an uprising wants to win, it must get the support of high-level strongmen.

As an ambitious lord with a huge private army, Duke Gran had long wanted to replace the emperor.

After the peasant uprising began vigorously, he actively contacted the leaders of the peasant uprising army and used coercion and inducement to accept them as dogs.

And he actively promoted himself among the peasants, gave them favorable conditions, and led the peasant uprising army to attack the emperor's direct territory.

…

Originally, everything was going very smoothly. Duke Gran easily conquered half of the country and was about to attack the imperial city to unify the country.

But just after he took over Baishi City, a huge problem was placed in front of him. This problem was that they had little food and the cold winter was about to come.

…

Duke Gran looked at several confidants under his seat, among whom was the logistics chief of the army [Hunter].

"Hunter." Duke Gran looked at him: "How much food do we have left?"

"Your Excellency." Hunter knelt on one knee and replied respectfully: "All our food is enough for the regular army and the peasant uprising army to eat for 40 days.

If we eat sparingly and consume at the minimum, we can only last for one and a half months at most."

"One and a half months?" Duke Gran frowned even more deeply.

In the entire ice plane, "food" has always been a scarce resource. Halfway through the war and approaching winter, the scarcity of food resources became more obvious.

"Hermann, what did you get from the granary in Baishi City?" Duke Gran looked at one of his generals.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency." General Hermann knelt on one knee with a pale face:

"The Sanger family in Baishi City and us are enemies. When their family was destroyed, the granary in Baishi City was burned down by them, and now there is nothing left."

"All burned down?!" Duke Gran lost his voice, and his face turned extremely pale in an instant.

Originally, he was still hoping to capture Baishi City and give the troops who lacked food a break.

But he didn't expect that this breath didn't come at all, and even made them almost "lack of oxygen"!

"Everyone, the situation is very serious now." Duke Gran looked at the generals below with a serious face: "It won't be long before the 4-month-long 'extreme winter' will come, and we haven't stored enough food.

If we can't solve the food problem within half a month, this peasant uprising is likely to fail!"

The winter in the ice plane is much more terrible than the winter in the main plane and Blue Star.

At that time, the temperature would be as low as 30 or 40 degrees below zero, and the snow would be waist-deep, even in the relatively warm Fire Nation.

It was impossible to fight in such bad weather, so they could only store food in advance and find a way to survive the winter, and then fight again in the spring when the snow melted.

Now they have little food left, and it will be difficult to survive this winter!
