The sun shrouded in mist shone on the city surface of Hulan Beicheng, and the cold dew at night formed a crystal clear hoarfrost and ice on the city surface, hanging on the ruins of Hulan Beicheng that were a little miserable.

The cold wind carried the snowflakes, whistling through the barren streets of the city, there were no flowers, no trees, only some unknown weeds with tenacious life, they poked out their bodies tenaciously in the cracks of the cold ruins, greedily absorbing the faint sunlight,

In the long Ice Age, this is a long and narrow cold riverbed, the terrain is also high on all sides and low in the middle, and the corners of the huge riverbed are like a small hill rising in the middle.

But with the passage of time, the river became a deep ditch that dried up, and eventually it became a dry and barren uninhabited cold desert, and in the whole world, except for some signs of plants that could be seen among the mountains and rocks, there were only scattered fragments of large and small stones.

The entire city of Hulan Bay has become such a collection of rubbles, and if desolation and cold are also a characteristic, then it is the biggest feature here now.

Once the center of the cold land in the north, now it is an uninhabited store, only these are still a little blackened by the fire, like a one-armed strong man standing in the cold and biting cold wind.

The splendor and tragedy are concentrated in the records of this city, which was once the center of the northern cold lands, and the temple that countless northern cold people flock to and yearn for, but now it is a forgotten deserted city, and the new rulers are the Asou Russians, the city founded by the Dika people, which has been burned down in the terrible war and the fire of defeat that day.

The city, once the largest city in the north, was almost completely destroyed by the war on the battlefield, and the fire burned the city for a whole night, not only burning all the palaces and wealth of the Deca people, but also spreading to the streets, and then the whole city was like a huge torch that was lit. The bright light of the fire lit up half of the sky, and the fire was not extinguished until noon the next day with a heavy snowfall,

All that remains are the remnants of the walls covered in snow and the empty streets covered in gravel. Grass grows in some places, others are covered with ice, and the Dika people who once lived here, in addition to the more than 40,000 people who died in battle, the other more than 60,000 people have become slaves of the Asovian and Russian coalition forces, and with the prosperity and glory of the beginning, they have long been buried in the ruins in front of them.

"The Asu Russians need a new ruling center!" After conquering Hulan Bei, the Asu Russia was majestic and established its position as the hegemon of the north, and the first decision made after occupying Hulan Bei was to give up here.

Moving elsewhere to build a new center in the cold north, Mokalu, which is expected to be more than twice the size of the old city of Hulanbe, and will have as wide and unobstructed streets as the big cities in the interior. There is a large theater with a height of four floors, a trading place that is convenient for merchants, and a convenient network of urban roads. The most important thing is the location of the city,

The location of this city will be at the intersection of the Asu Russians and the Besu people, and it will be the best location for the common capital of the two most powerful tribes of Hulan Bei in the future, and this will be the first real big city in the northern cold region, for which the Asu Russia mobilized nearly 30,000 slaves of various ethnic groups and hired a very famous builder to preside over the construction of this new center.

In the depiction of the Asovian Russians, the city is a paradisiacal existence, large enough to accommodate a population of more than 200,000. This means that a quarter of the population of the northern cold regions will be spared the fate of camping in the wild cold regions, and new towns and villages will also be expanded around the city as the center, forming a cultural circle similar to the independent northern cold regions,...,

Asuru believed that if he gave himself three years or more, it would be possible for the first real kingdom to emerge in the northern cold lands. This is a sign of the establishment of a new order of rule of the Asou Russo, and an expression of his ambition to conquer the heavens and the earth.

The new ruler naturally needs a new capital, and the crippled city of Hulan Bay should be classified into the ranks of the forsaken like the Dika people who have lost their rule, but it backfired, the construction of the new city was not completed, the Dongting army crossed the border, and the Vikia Falcon also led the army to land on the southeast headland,

Asu Russia can only be very reluctant to leave the new city that has been built for most of the time, and lead the army back to the ruined city of Hulanbei to take command, which is like someone is always reminding him that Hulanbei is the center of the northern cold land,

The negotiating envoy who returned from the Falcon camp brought back two pieces of news, the face of the northern tyrant of Asu Russia became iron blue and ugly, and his somewhat cold triangular eyes swept over the elders of the returning negotiator clan, Asu Odanks, and "snapped" The negotiation book in his hand was slapped heavily on the table, and said with an indignant expression

"What's the matter with you, asking you to negotiate is to let you go and create a false impression for the Vekia Falcon, so that he thinks that we have no strength to resist him, so that we can delay his march and buy us more time to prepare, but you are good, you really got me a negotiation letter back, now it's okay, if the content of this negotiation letter leaks out, our Asu Russian Ministry will inevitably suffer a huge test for the control of the cold regions in the north!"

"I don't want to ah, Asu Danks cried with a sad face, subconsciously shrank his head, and swept over the negotiation book pressed on the table with a somewhat curtled gaze, "But who knew that Vekia Falcon would be so cunning, and almost accepted all of our negotiation conditions, just adding a clause that didn't seem to have any effect! I thought there shouldn't be any big problem, so I brought it back"

"No big problem?" Asuo was enraged by this sentence, he got up from his seat, and roared loudly, "What do you know, it is the most useless one in your eyes, it is enough for our children and grandchildren of the Northland people to wear invisible shackles for generations, if you really want to do this, you and I will be the eternal sinners of the Northlanders!"

"It won't be so strict!" said Asu Danx, a little surprised and incredulous

"It's not so strict! You read this so-called insignificant clause yourself!" Asuo angrily threw the negotiation book on the table to the ground,

Asu Danx picked it up with a blank expression, spread it out in his hand and said, "Article 14, as a guarantee of the ownership of the Falcon Empire in the northern cold region, the heirs designated by the chiefs of the cold tribes must follow the Falcon army to the interior, until the patriarch dies, the heir can return from the interior, and must become the new patriarch of the tribe."

Asuo Danks' voice stopped. With a hesitant face, he said, "This shouldn't matter, just let each clan hand over one person at will, anyway, many patriarchs have more than one heir, and we can also learn a lot of new things from each other." There's nothing bad about it!"

"Are you a pig's head?" Asuru looked at Asur Danks, who was still at a loss, trembled with anger, and said in a thunderous voice, "If the heirs of all races are in the hands of the Falcon Empire, then who will come to honor the order of our Asuru-Russian people? At that time, with these heirs alone, the Falcon Empire will be enough to remotely control the entire northern cold region,

As for such stupid words as handing over a random person. You also said that if the heir can't ascend to the position of patriarch, he will not just give the Falcon Empire the excuse to send troops in vain, but I am afraid that even if you want to regret it at that time, the other tribes that are still accused of the heir will not agree to you! They will directly encircle and suppress you before the Falcon Empire sends troops...,

The power to drive others without a fight, this is the wisdom of the Vekia Falcon, where do you fool understand that if we sign, the entire northern cold land will not only be finished now. Even the future is over!

The heirs who were educated in the Falcon Empire will naturally subtly turn to a favorable impression of the Falcon Empire, and once they return to the cold land, they will become the patriarchs of the various clans. Naturally, they will bow down to the Falcon Empire, and they still recognize us Asouks."

"Ah, this ......" Hearing Asuo's explanation, Asuo's Dennis rolled his eyes, his face suddenly turned pale, and he couldn't make a sound when he tried to open his mouth several times, and his face was full of shame

"I should have thought that you are no match for the cunning Vecchia Falcon," Asu's face softened slightly, and he said with a solemn expression, "but it's not completely unsuccessful, at least, you make the Falcon army think that the treaty has been signed." Naturally, our precautions have been relaxed, and if we take the initiative to attack now, I believe that even the Vekia Falcon, a monster known as the God of War in the interior, should be very surprised!"

"yes, why didn't I think of that!" Asuo Dennis let out a surprised voice and hurriedly said with an excited expression, "Just as I left the Falcon camp. I also heard the sound of celebration from inside, it seems that even the Falcon Army is not used to the severe cold here of us, and it is estimated that it has already made a plan to withdraw the army as soon as it is negotiated!"

"Then what are you doing in a daze, ordering the generals of all clans to come to the big tent to discuss matters!"

Hearing the scene described by Asuo Dennis, Asuo's heavy face showed a hideous smile, and he gave the order to the guards outside the tent to convene an emergency military meeting.

Then he turned around and said, "Since the other party has already made a sign of celebration, we shouldn't be absent!"

"Yes, yes, it's rude to be absent!" said Denis with an exaggerated expression, "We should give them a farewell party, so that they can get out of the cold land of the north completely and lively!"

The two looked at each other and let out a laugh in the big tent

Hiding behind an angular granite rock, the Falcon scout Rocas was covered in the snow with a helmet covered in white lambskin, almost unnoticeable, and the black and white mottled rock piles next to him cleverly concealed the black armor of the falconers covered in snowflakes, as if he were an integral part of the snowy peak.

Rocas held up the lookout glass in his hand and searched the northeast direction in front of him, trying to see something from there. His eyes were unblinking, a little expectant, and a little worried.

"Captain, what do you say we're waiting for here?" a white figure leaned closer to him and whispered in his ear, a falcon scout dressed almost identically to him, his young face cracked several times from the cold weather, but still showing that he was a very energetic young man

"I don't know, we just need to carry out the orders from above and pay close attention!" Rocas said lightly, the scar on his face would jump up and down every time he spoke, squeezing into a triangle, which looked particularly hideous.

The scouts he led were all battle-hardened Kugit scouts. He was accustomed to this type of scar, and some of the Kugit scouts had scars on their faces even more terrifying than his. In the heart of a Kugit man, a man without scars cannot be called a man at all,

As the forward scout of the Fourth Banner Regiment of the Central Army, he had just received a temporary emergency order to rush here. This small, jutting mountain was located just to the left of the vast ice field below, and as long as it wasn't a heavy snowstorm, it could almost be seen for miles, and the order from above was only for him to keep an eye on the road below the peak. In fact, the commander who came to give the order was at a loss as to what would happen on the road below...,

Time passed from morning to afternoon, and the falcon scouts felt that their bodies were not as cold as their own, the weather was too cold, but they did not dare to make a fire, the black smoke of the fire would reveal their position.

"Tell everyone to assemble, let's go back to the camp!" Looking up at the sun that was about to set in the sky, Rocas got up from the ground and moved his almost frozen body left and right, according to the order, the sun set on the horizon and they could go back to camp, because no one could spend the night in the wilderness in the extreme cold in such cold weather, and it would be tantamount to suicide to stay any longer

Soon, scouts from the neighborhood gathered around. After counting the number of people, the corners of Roccas's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "Okay." Our mission is complete, and everyone can take a sip of hot marble broth!"

"Thank God, we can finally go back!" Hearing that we could return to the camp, a scout with red palms rubbed his hands excitedly, and his face was also a little blackened by the cold, don't look at the foggy sun here, but I don't know why, the falcon soldiers who had just arrived here found that if they were exposed to the sun all morning, their skin would feel a burning pain

"Look. What's that!"

At this moment, one of the scouts suddenly raised his hand and shouted in the distance, Rocas quickly turned around, and the other scouts also fell down one after another, and everyone's nerves tensed,

Although there are already preparations. The grand scene below also made everyone take a deep breath of cold air, only to see that in the direction of the sun about to set on the hill, a black line appeared at the end of the earth at the same time, it was a long line composed of countless small black dots, like a legendary elf dancing on the line in the distance of the earth

"It's a reindeer! God, it's the first time I've seen so many reindeer in all my years!" Rocas heard a low startled sound from a veteran Kujit scout next to him, and sure enough, he recognized it as a herd of countless reindeer running at high speed, their strong and sturdy hooves raising a white mist on the snow

"A false alarm!" Roccas's solemn face relaxed, waved his hand to the subordinates behind him, and sneered, "It's nothing to be afraid of, it's just a group of reindeer running in the snow, let's go back to the camp early, it will be more troublesome when it gets dark, and it will not be easy to find a way back in the snow at that time!"

"Captain, I think this is strange!" At this time, the senior scout of Kujitte, who said it was a reindeer just now, stood up from the ground and said, "Although the reindeer is a social animal, it is impossible for it to live in such a large group, in our prairie, the size of the reindeer herd will never exceed 100, but we have seen at least tens of thousands of them now, such a scene is too unusual!"

Moreover, the direction of the reindeer running is too neat and uniform, unless there are hundreds of reindeer masters who can use deer whistles to drive behind, it is impossible to have such a large scale."

"Deer whistle?" Roccas's face was stunned for a moment, and he said solemnly, "You mean that there are people behind these reindeer?"

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, the other party drove away so many reindeer, probably just to hide the sound of their own movement!" the senior scout nodded, "For example, the sound of the hooves of the reindeer cavalry of the Northlanders, or the sound of sleighs sliding"

"I see, it's the Northlanders, it must be them! In order to cover up the sound of his might exposed hooves, he did not hesitate to drive so many reindeer as cover, what a terrible plan" Rocas suddenly looked excited,

As a veteran who participated in the Battle of Motu, he was extremely impressed by the reindeer cavalry of the Northlanders, who tore the flank of the Dongting Army in one fell swoop, although it was finally contained by the Dongting people, but it almost crushed the Dongting people, although the reindeer cavalry of the Northlanders was inferior to the war horse in the overall impact.

But if it is fighting in the snow, the mobility of the reindeer cavalry is definitely above the war horse, in terms of speed and time, the time when these reindeer arrive at their camp is exactly when the sun sets the horizon, when the unsuspecting camp will inevitably collide with the reindeer herd, and the reindeer cavalry of the Northlanders can fish in troubled waters and overwhelm their own camp in one fell swoop

"Bring the pigeon!" In an emergency, Rocas decided to give it a try even if it was a violation of military orders, and he asked people to bring a carrier pigeon that could only be used for a distance of more than 50 miles, and then quickly wrote down the situation and stuffed it into the bronze tube on the pigeon's leg.

"Okay, let it go!" Heads held high, everyone watched as the carrier pigeon turned into a small black dot in the sky. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
