Realm of Power

The sun shrouded in mist shines on the city of Hulanbei City, and the cold dew at night forms a layer of crystal clear white frost and ice on the city surface. The ruins of the broken walls hanging in Hulanbei City reveal a somewhat miserable look. superior,

The cold wind blew through the deserted streets of the city. There were no flowers or trees here, only some unknown and tenacious weeds. They tenaciously poked their bodies out of the cracks in the cold ruins, greedy. Absorbing the faint sunlight,

During the long ice age, this was a long and narrow cold river bed. The terrain was high on the four sides and low in the middle. The huge river beds intertwined and turned like a small hill rising toward the middle.

But as time went by, the river turned into a deep, dry ditch, and it eventually became a dry, desolate and uninhabited cold desert. In the entire world, except for some signs of plants that could be seen among the rocks, they were all dismantled. bits and pieces of stones, big and small,

The entire city of Hulanbei has become a collection of piles of rubble. If desolation and coldness are also characteristics, then it is the biggest characteristic here now.

What was once the center of the northern cold land is now uninhabited. Only the ruins, which are somewhat blackened by the fire, stand like a strong man with one arm in the biting cold wind.

Glory and tragedy are both concentrated in the records of this city. This was once the center of the northern cold region, a temple that countless northern cold region people flocked to and yearned for, but now it is a forgotten deserted city, and the new ruler is The city built by the Asuos and Dika people had been burned to the ground in the fierce war and the fire of the defeat.

This once largest city in the north was almost completely destroyed in the face of battlefield disasters. The fire burned in the city for a whole night. Not only did it burn down all the palaces and wealth of the Dika people, the fire also spread to the streets, and then the entire city. The city is like a huge torch being lit. The bright 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 now are the ruins of the walls covered in white snow, and empty streets filled with gravel. Grass has grown in some places, while others are covered by ice. In addition to the more than 40,000 people who died in the war, the Dika people who once lived here have become slaves of the Soviet-Russian coalition forces. With the original prosperity and glory, it has long been buried in the ruins in front of you.

"The Asu people need a new ruling center." After Asuo captured Hulanbei, Asuo became majestic and established its position as the northern hegemon. The first decision it made after occupying Hulanbei was to abandon this place.

Move to other places to build the new center of the northern cold land, Mokaru. According to the expected construction plan, the size of this new central city will be more than twice the size of the old Hulanbei City. It will have the same characteristics as a large inland city. Wide, unobstructed streets. There is a grand theater with a height of four floors, a trading house for merchants to trade, and a convenient urban road network. The most important thing is the location of the city,

The location of this city building point is exactly at the intersection of the Asuor and Besu tribes. It is the best location to serve as the joint capital of the two most powerful tribes in Hulanbei in the future. This will be the northern cold region. The first truly big city. For this purpose, Asuo mobilized nearly 30,000 slaves of various ethnic groups and hired a well-known builder to preside over the construction of this new center.

In the description of the Asuos, this city is a paradise-like existence. The city is wide enough to accommodate a population of more than 200,000. This means that a quarter of the population in the northern cold areas will be able to avoid the fate of camping in the wild cold areas. New towns and villages will also expand around this city, forming a northern cold area similar to the one in Japan. local cultural circle,

Asuo believed that as long as he gave himself three years or more, the first real kingdom might appear in the northern cold land. This is a sign of establishing the new order of rule of the Asu'u people, and an expression of his ambition as a northern hero to take over the world.

The new ruler naturally needs a new capital. The incomplete Hulanbei City should be included in the ranks of the forgotten like the Dika people who lost their rule. However, contrary to expectations, the construction of the new city has not yet been completed. , the Dongting army crossed the border, and the Vekia Falcon also led the army to land on the southeastern cape.

Asu'uo could only reluctantly leave the half-built new city, and led the army back to the ruins of Hulanbei City to take command. It was as if someone was always reminding him that Hulanbei is the north. the center of the cold land,

The negotiator who returned from the Falcon Army camp brought back two pieces of news. Asu'o, the northern hero's face turned livid and ugly. His cold triangular eyes glanced at Asu'odan, the elder of the returning negotiator's clan. "Crack," he slammed the negotiation book in his hand on the table and said angrily.

"What's going on with you? I asked you to negotiate and asked you to create a false impression on the Vekia Falcon, making him think that we no longer have the strength to resist him. This way we can delay his advance and buy us more preparation time. , but you are so lucky, you actually got me a negotiation document. Now it’s fine. If the contents of this negotiation document are leaked, our Asuo Ministry’s control of the northern cold land will inevitably suffer a huge disaster. "the test"

"I don't want to either. Assuo Danks looked sad, shrank his head subconsciously, and glanced at the negotiation book on the table with some scorn, "But who knew that the Vecia Falcon would be so cunning, and for our I almost accepted all the negotiation conditions, but added a clause that seemed to have no effect. I thought there would be no big problem, so I brought it back."

"No big problem?" Asuo was irritated by this sentence. He stood up from his seat and roared loudly, "What do you know? Even the most seemingly useless one in your eyes is enough to make us Generations of descendants of the Northlanders have been wearing invisible shackles. If we really do this, you and I will be the eternal sinners of the Northlanders."

"It can't be so serious," Assuo Danks said in shock and disbelief.

"It's not that serious. Just read this so-called insignificant clause yourself." Asuo threw the negotiation book on the table to the ground angrily.

Asuo Danks picked it up with a blank expression, spread it out in his hands and said, "Article 14, as a guarantee for the ownership of the Falcon Empire in the northern cold region, the heirs designated by the chiefs of each tribe in the cold region must follow the Falcon Army. Go to the interior, until the patriarch dies, the heir can return from the interior, and must become the new patriarch of the tribe."

Asuodanks' voice stopped. He said hesitantly, "This shouldn't matter. Just let each clan hand over someone at will. Anyway, many clan leaders have more than one heir, and we can learn a lot of new things from each other. There is nothing wrong with it." OK"

"Are you a pig head? Asuo looked at the confused Asur Danks below, trembling with anger, and said angrily, "If the heirs of all races are in the hands of the Falcon Empire, then who will? Will they come to respect the order of us Asuos? At that time, just relying on these heirs, the Falcon Empire will be able to remotely control the entire northern cold land.

As for such stupid things as handing over a random person. You also made it clear that if the heir cannot ascend to the position of clan leader, it will give the Falcon Empire an excuse to send troops. I am afraid that even if you want to go back on your word, the other tribes that are still controlling the heir will not agree to it. They will directly surround you before the Falcon Empire sends troops.

The power of driving others without fighting, this is the wisdom of the Falcon of Vecchia. How could you, an idiot, understand that if we sign, the entire northern cold land will not only be over now? Even the future is over

The heirs who received education in the Falcon Empire will naturally have a favorable impression of the Falcon Empire in a subtle way. They returned to the cold land and became the clan leaders of various tribes. Naturally, they will bow to the Falcon Empire, which still recognizes us Asuos."

"Ah, this..." After hearing Asu'o's explanation, Asuo Dennis's eyes rolled around, and his face suddenly turned pale. He tried to open his mouth several times but could not make a sound, and his face was full of shame.

"I should have thought that you are no match for the cunning Vekia Falcon." Asuo's face softened a little and he said solemnly. "But it was not completely unsuccessful. At least, you made the Falcon Army think that the treaty had been signed. Naturally. Our precautions have been relaxed a little. If we take the initiative now, I believe even the monster known as the God of War in the mainland, the Vecia Falcon, will be surprised."

"Yes, why didn't I think of this?" Asuodenis made a surprised voice and said quickly with an excited expression. "Just when I left the Falcon Army camp. I also heard the sound of celebration coming from inside. Look. It seems that even the Falcon Army is not used to the severe cold here. It is estimated that they have already made plans to withdraw their troops as soon as they negotiate."

"Then why are you still standing there? Order the generals from all tribes to come to the big tent to discuss matters."

After hearing what Asuo Denis described, a ferocious smile appeared on Asuo's heavy face, 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 gesture of celebration, we shouldn't be absent."

"Yes, yes, it is very rude to be absent," Asuodenisi echoed with an exaggerated expression. "We should hold a farewell party for them and let them get out of the cold land of the north completely and happily."

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter in the big tent.

Falcon Scout Rokas was hiding behind an angular granite rock, covering his helmet with white lambskin in the snow. It was almost difficult to detect it. The black and white mottled rocks next to him were covered with snow flakes. The black armor of the Falcon Army is cleverly hidden, as if he is an integral part of this piece of Yan.

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

"Captain, what do you think we are waiting for here?" A white figure approached him and whispered in his ear. This was a falcon scout who was dressed almost the same as him. His young face was cold because of the cold. The weather was cracked several times by the freezing weather, but you can still see that he is a very energetic young man.

"I don't know. We just need to follow the orders from above and pay close attention." Rokas said calmly. The scar on his face would jump up and down every time he spoke, squeezed into a triangle, and looked particularly ferocious.

The scouts he led were all Kugit scouts who had experienced hundreds of battles. We have long been accustomed to this type of scars, and we are no longer surprised. The scars on the face of the Rusty Git scout are even more terrifying and ferocious than his own. In the hearts of Kugit men, a man without scars cannot be called a man at all.

As a forward scout of the Fourth Flag Regiment of the Central Army, he had just received a temporary emergency order and arrived here. This slightly protruding mountain peak was located just to the left of the vast ice field below. As long as there was no heavy snowstorm, he could basically have a panoramic view of the scene within several miles. The order above only asked him to pay close attention to the road below the mountain. In fact, the commander who came to hand over the order seemed at a loss as to what would happen on the road below.

Time passed moment by moment, from morning to afternoon. The Falcon Scouts felt that their bodies were too cold to be their own. The weather was too cold, but they did not dare to light a fire. The black smoke from the fire would expose them. location.

"Tell everyone to gather, let's return to the camp." He looked up at the sun that was about to set in the sky. Rocas stood up from the ground and moved his almost frozen body from side to side. According to the order, they can return to the camp when the sun sets on the horizon. Because no one can spend the night in the wild in such a cold weather in an extremely cold place, and staying here is tantamount to suicide.

Soon, nearby scouts gathered around. After counting the number of people, Rokas curled his lips slightly and said, "Okay. Our mission is completed. Everyone can go back to the camp and take a sip of the hot pork broth."

"Thank God, we can finally go back." When he heard that it was time to return to the camp, a scout whose palms were red from the cold rubbed his hands excitedly, and his face was darkened by the cold. Don't look at the misty sun here. But for some reason, the Falcon soldiers who had just arrived found that if they were exposed to the sun all morning, their skin would feel pain like a burn.

"Look. What is that?"

At this moment, a scout suddenly raised his finger and shouted in the distance. Rokas turned around quickly, and other scouts also lay down one after another. Everyone's nerves were tense.

Although there are preparations. The grand scene below also made everyone take a deep breath of air-conditioning. In the direction where the sun was about to set over the hills, 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 the legendary elves dancing on the distant lines of the earth

"Oh my God, it's reindeer. This is the first time I've seen so many reindeer in all my years of life." Rokas heard a low voice of surprise from a senior Kugit scout next to him. Sure enough, after identification, it was Countless reindeer herds are running at high speed, and their strong and sturdy hooves raise a burst of white mist on the snow.

"It's just a false alarm." Rokas' solemn expression relaxed. He waved to his subordinates behind him and said with a smile, "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 the way back in the snow."

"Captain, I think this is weird." At this time, the senior Kugit scout who was just said to be a reindeer stood up from the ground and said, "Although reindeer are social animals, they can never live in such large groups. In our prairie, the size of the reindeer herd will never exceed 100, but what we have seen now is at least tens of thousands. This scene is so unusual.

Moreover, the direction in which the reindeer run is too neat and uniform. Unless there are hundreds of reindeer masters who specialize in using deer whistles to drive them behind, it will never be possible on such a large scale."

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

"Yes, if my guess is correct, the other party drove so many reindeer away in order to hide the sound of their movement." The senior scout nodded, "For example, the sound of the hooves of the Northlanders' reindeer cavalry, or the sliding of the sled." sound"

"I know, it's the people from the North. They must have driven so many reindeer as a cover in order to cover up the sound of their hooves that might be exposed. It's really a terrible plan." Rokas suddenly looked excited,

As a veteran who participated in the Battle of Motu, he was extremely impressed by the reindeer cavalry of the Northlanders. The reindeer cavalry of the Northlanders ripped open the flank of the Dongting Army in one fell swoop, although they finally got the Dongting people. Although the reindeer cavalry of the Northlanders was not as powerful as the war horses in terms of overall impact, they almost overwhelmed the Dongting people.

But if fighting in the snow, the mobility of reindeer cavalry is definitely better than that of war horses. In terms of speed and time, the time when these reindeer arrive at their camp is exactly when the sun sets below the horizon, leaving the unsuspecting camp at that time. It 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 carrier pigeons." At the critical moment, Rocas decided to give it a try even if it was against military orders. He asked someone to bring the carrier pigeons that could only be used over a distance of 50 miles, and then quickly wrote down the situation and stuffed it into the The small bronze tube on the homing pigeon's leg,

"Okay, let it go." With heads held high, everyone watched the homing pigeon turn into a small black dot in the sky. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
