Wolf King

There is no obvious difference between rainy season and dry season on the grassland.

The cursed land surrounded by three huge mountains is like a huge basin. When the temperature rises and the snow water stored on the earth in the long winter melts and evaporates, there is a possibility of rain from early spring to autumn.

The York Mountains block the subtropical monsoon from the Far East, making the summer on the grasslands later than other places, but when the hot wind blows into the grassland from the direction of the sea and blows towards the Samal Snow Mountain, it is also the summer on the grasslands. When there is plenty of rain.

The same period of rain and heat can bring about vigorous growth of crops. At the same time, when the rain is too flooded and it forms an alliance with the snow water flowing down from the Samar Snow Mountain, then the cursed land that has never had a large-scale water conservancy project for thousands of years will become You must be prepared for flooding.

This is the mighty force of nature, and it will not be transferred by the wishes of a certain person or group of people.

Ice and Snow King City.

The light figure in the silver-white armor quickly jumped up to the watchtower at the northernmost point of the king's city, and stood on the huge crossbow pedestal that could blast a dragon through with one shot.

The Elf King, who didn't wear a helmet or a cloak, looked up at the peak of the snow-capped mountain, frowning.

"King." General Snow Elf, who was slowly catching up, stopped under the crossbow seat and let out a soft cry.

"The snow on the mountain is less than in previous years." The Elf King turned his back to the general, and his deep voice could not tell the emotion.

There are ten generals in the army of the Elf King. In the past, these ten generals had to squat in Miriam for at least half of the time every year to guard the gate of the demon world; but since the last Frankish feast, a certain demon cub After the elf king who secretly pushed the flames and had a clear view of the fire followed suit and established a multi-ethnic alliance to guard the gate of the demon world, the life of these generals was finally not so hard, and they had more free time to arrange.

Even the middle-level backbone of the imperial army like Second Lieutenant Selina can have leisure to go to human countries to play warball... cough cough!

The snow elf general Otilia, who spent most of her life squatting in Miriam and now rarely able to return to the royal city for vacation, sighed softly: "Yes...the cursed land must meet the test."

The Elf King turned and jumped off the crossbow.

"Notify the tauren."

"Yes, King."

Although a bit cruel...but in the eyes of the snow elves, the only thing worth paying attention to in the cursed land is the native tauren.

Others, whether it is the centaur branch that moved to the cursed land during the race war, or the imperial refugees who took refuge more than 200 years ago, can only be regarded as outsiders and "outsiders".

"By the way, I heard that a branch of the forest elves has opened a port in the cursed land. Although I don't know if this natural disaster will endanger them, we should still inform the queen." The elf king strode towards the castle. General Tilia said.

"Let me tell Her Majesty the Queen." Ottilia said immediately.

The elf king nodded. This time, the forest elf queen is weak and has little control over the elders. If people with status are not allowed to go to the queen's city, the elders of the forest elves may not pay enough attention.

Before entering the palace, the Elf King finally remembered those snow werewolves on the grassland who sold a lot of cheap and high-quality goods to the Ice and Snow King City every year, and raised his brows: "Let Selena go—wait a minute, Selena went to the human kingdom. Ask Lieutenant Dana to take someone to the tribe of the Snow Wolf Clan."

"Eh?" General Otilia didn't react for a while.

"The Fire Department of the Snow Wolf Clan." The Elf King thought for a while and said, "I remember that this tribe seems to be located in the southwest corner of the cursed land, which is the area covered by natural disasters. Let them make early preparations and move to the highlands in time."

In the past few years when the Tiger Clan fell, the Snow Elves no longer stared at the cursed land as they did before, but the residences of the tribes were recorded in the inspection troops. Although General Ottilia squatted in Miriam for a long time, He also vaguely knew that the snow wolves in the cursed land did not continue to disperse, but chose to live together as a group, so they responded immediately.

The style of the snow elves was vigorous from top to bottom. On that day, including General Otilia, several teams left the royal city one after another.

Since the last Frank feast, not only the generals had more free time, but Lieutenant Dana, who originally only had half a month of vacation every year, also ushered in a happy three-month long vacation every year.

Wearing an apron at home, Lieutenant Dana, who made small desserts according to "Gourmet Hunter", was a little upset at first when she received the order from above, but when she heard that she was asked to notify the snow wolf clan to prevent natural disasters, she happily relieved the siege Waist, gather hands.

Hmm... It is reasonable for the Elf King to ask Dana to do this. Lieutenant Dana was the part-time maid who entertained the Snow Wolf Clan at the Frank feast...

Xiao Yun privately called him the "hair of the elves" from the snow elves, who were physically strong and full of stamina. When they descended from the Samar Snow Mountain, a small team of snow elves, headed by Lieutenant Dana, wore that rather handsome suit. The heavy armor ran towards the southwest.

After about half an hour.

Lieutenant Dana took the lead to stop, and silently removed the armor with the others, put their backs on their backs, and each of them only wore cool short sleeves... Although it was raining and the weather was relatively cool, summer in the cursed land was very important for the snow elves. , still too hot.

About a day and a half later, Lieutenant Dana and her team arrived at the upper reaches of the River of Earth despite the rain.

Lieutenant Dana and the soldiers she led were not in charge of patrolling the cursed land, and their knowledge of the cursed land was limited to the paper records of the patrolling troops, but this did not prevent them from being surprised when they saw the situation in the upper reaches of the river of the earth : The river overflowed to the bank!

"...It's too late to notify the Snow Wolf Clan now!" Lieutenant Dana couldn't help complaining about the Elf King...

"Lieutenant, the current is so fast, it's not easy to get through it?" The soldiers asked after observing the surface of the river, not aware of Shangguan's disrespect to their king.

Lieutenant Dana thought for a while: "I remember that there is a canyon where the river of the earth branched off, and we crossed it."

The group of snow elf warriors gave up trying to cross the river, and walked eastward along the upper reaches of the river of the earth. After running for about two hours, they arrived at the upstream diversion.

The channel of the river of the earth is naturally formed by the water scouring the earth for countless years. It twists and turns and flows to the southeast mouth along the terrain; In the basin, the two short mountains that are close to each other have been cut off by the water with the water grinding effort, just like the two closest cliffs in the basin shaped like a canyon.

A heavy snow werewolf can easily jump seven or eight meters away, while a snow elf with strong enough thighs and well-developed leg muscles is relatively light, and can jump ten meters if you add an approach run; Jumping from the cliff to the opposite side, swooping down the dwarf mountain, the group continued to go southwest.

After running out of the intertwined low mountains at the diversion, one of the snow elf fighters inadvertently looked back, and saw the concrete pouring dam that was hundreds of meters away and could only be seen as a vague outline in the pouring rain. The whole person was terrified: "What is that?!"

The other snow elves were also shocked when they heard the words and turned around.

"Go and see!" Dana said immediately.

The closer they get to the cement dam, the more surprised the snow elves are. This thing is "stuck" in the mountain, with a height of at least three to 40 meters and a length of four to 500 meters. Ladders for people to climb.

After getting closer, the group of snow elves saw something that was difficult to find in the distance——the lower part of this strange wall, which seemed to be moved from the city of giants, had a row of semicircular holes, stuffed with thick The steel plate; the place facing the hole in the steel plate is a deep ditch dug out by manpower with a width of 50 to [-] meters; the deep ditch is half-filled with rainwater and leads all the way to the southeast. Standing under the dam, No matter how hard I looked, I couldn't see the end of this deep ditch...

The muddy rainwater made it difficult to see the bottom of the deep ditch, but the two sides of the deep ditch and the two-meter-wide ground on the bank can be seen to have been filled with stones and the like, and then painted (actually poured) The same off-white substance as the dam.

The dumbfounded snow elves stood on the bank like this, drenched in the rain, staring blankly for several minutes.

"Is this...a river built by man?" Lieutenant Dana said incredulously, "Wait a minute, Second Lieutenant Selina's record of the Snow Wolf Clan said that these orcs built a 'canal' from their own tribe to the sea, about ten meters away. It is wide and two meters deep, which can be used by ships with a load of several thousand catties...they went to the upper reaches of the river of the earth and built another 'canal'?!"

The other snow elves are Miriam's soldiers on duty. Lieutenant Dana, who knows more about the Fire Department of the Snow Wolf Clan than he has carefully read the records of the patrolling troops, can't answer her questions.

A snow elf warrior looked up at the dam, then turned his head to look at the "deep ditch" in the distance, and couldn't help saying: "If this is the river built by the Snow Wolf Clan...then why don't they use this river to drain water? "

This question is indeed very strange. They traveled all the way, let alone the river of the earth itself, even the tributaries of the river overflowed to the bank, flooding the road along the way.

"Could it be that it hasn't been repaired yet?" Another snow elf warrior guessed, "Whether it's something like the giant's city wall..." Pointing to the dam, "Or this river ditch, it's very difficult to repair." It’s easy. The population of the Snowwolves is about the same as that of the Tauren, so digging this ditch to the seaside will take more than ten years.”

Even Lieutenant Dana couldn't help but nod when she heard this. The Ice and Snow King City has been built for hundreds of years. It is much easier to build an artificial river in the cursed land than to build a king city on the Samar Snow Mountain, but it is not just a few years. can be done.

"It's a pity that the cursed land didn't give them enough time." Lieutenant Dana said with emotion.

"Yes, I hope that the Snow Wolf Clan can save most of their clansmen this time, and continue to repair this artificial river ditch." The snow elf warriors also said.

The upper elves of the snow elves do not attach great importance to the snow wolves, and only regard the snow wolves as "good commodity providers"; but for the middle and lower elves, the snow wolves are undoubtedly more important than the tauren. It feels friendly—the sauces and vermicelli that flow to Frozen King City every winter, especially the sugary desserts and snacks that have become more and more affordable in the past two years, are quite good spices for monotonous life.

Feeling deeply, the group of snow elves continued on their way to the southwest. This time, Lieutenant Dana didn't need to urge them, and everyone tried their best to speed up.

Even if the Snow Elves are the "fools of the elves", traveling in the wind and rain is not a small burden for them. Three days later, the elite of the elf king's army entered the southwestern region where the Huoyan tribe and the "vassal races" lived .

The continuous heavy rain gradually exceeded the natural drainage capacity of the land. Even if the tributaries of the river flowing to the southwest hadn't exposed their fangs, the slightly lower-lying places were full of stagnant water; the drenched and exhausted snow elves stepped on When stepping into an area with obvious artificial traces under the muddy water and the rare sunny sunshine, from a distance, we saw tiny figures lined up in a long line, transferring supplies to the connected hillsides.

"They have already started to migrate...so it's too late for us to notify the Snow Wolf Clan now!" Lieutenant Dana, who had a more fiery personality, couldn't help but slander again.

The crowd moving supplies to a higher place found the approaching snow elves, and one of them quickly ran towards them.

Snow elves come to buy supplies every winter. Everyone in the fire department is no stranger to snow elves. The people who took the initiative to welcome them rushed to the nearby group and found that this group of snow elves was not the group that often came. This snow werewolf also He didn't care, and said with bright eyes: "Hi, snow elves, friends of the snow wolf clan, please help, we don't have enough manpower!"

Dana & Snow Elf Warriors: "??"
