Wolf King

In a world where the construction of railways, highways, and communications is infinitely approaching zero, traveling is a very painful thing.

The ancients on the earth had a folk proverb that "a thousand days is good at home, but it is difficult to go out for one day". This world is similar. Even in the human kingdom with the highest population density, only the larger cities have yellow mud and sand that can be used for horse-drawn carriages. Dirt road paved with stones.Well, that is, there is only the road, and nothing else can be expected.

If it's a remote place, it means leaving the house and entering the wilderness...

Or why is the express delivery (slow delivery + long and short-distance escort) business opened by Centaur in Cronin flourishing? Let alone the common people, the average middle class or even the little nobles are interested in watching a show or attending a wedding in the next city Celebrations and so on, you have to prepare at least half a month in advance and make a small fortune.

Of course, it’s not that there are more convenient transportation methods in this world, but the price is too high...Imagine eating tea in Guangzhou in the morning and eating mutton noodles in Guizhou in the evening like a person on earth, only the super rich can do it— — It costs hundreds of gold coins to activate the teleportation array once even if only the material fee is charged!

Human kingdoms with high population densities all have this virtue, not to mention the vast and sparsely populated Far East.Out of the populated area is the original primitive world. If you want to get any supplies halfway, you can only rely on hunting and gathering yourself.Not to mention sending troops to attack other places, even if it is a visit to another tribe's territory, it will take ten and a half months to prepare food and supplies on the way.

In June, the Moon Bear Army fell.In July, the Beast Emperor's spies received accurate information from the Elven Port and sent it back to the Far East that month.In August, the messenger of the Black Bear tribe arrived at the territory of the four tribes and asked to send troops. At the same time, there was a rumor from the Senate of the Supreme Court of the Empire: The Beast King asked the Elephants to send troops, but the Elephants refused, so the pressure to send troops was passed on to the four tribes.

Tea Bear and Lion Clan did not play with Elephant Clan, but they were seriously suspected of flirting with Elephant Clan. Wing Clan and Fox Clan even got on the boat of Elephant Clan. This gossip came from the Senate of the Upper House No matter how you look at it, there is such an aura of provocation & deterrence of all races-even if you play with the Elephants, the Elephants may not be willing to shelter these small races!

In this regard, the elephant clan's attitude was very ambiguous, and they did not expressly object to it, nor did they take any action.

For the four tribes, the attitude of the elephant tribe seems to be unimportant. There is no family resisting the order, and they all honestly started preparing for the expedition, and they have been preparing until October, when the crops in the field are almost finished. Noisy on the road...

During this period, the envoys of the black bears did not come to urge them, but every time they came, what they saw was the four clans who were seriously preparing for the battle, and the patriarchs and elders of the four clans either detoured or went straight Baidi stretched out his hand for money and food, forcing the envoys along the way to flee.

The Beast Emperor, who didn't intend to give money, naturally couldn't force the four clans to send troops quickly.

When the four clans dispatched troops, they each sent envoys to the imperial capital to indicate that their troops had already set off, and asked when the supervising army and food would arrive, so the Beast Emperor simply didn't even send the supervising army...

Halfway through October, the armies of the tea bears, lions, and foxes successively arrived at the Helsinki Wasteland, the territory of the Yi tribe, and joined forces with the Yi tribe's army.

The allied forces of the four races, with tens of thousands of people, entered the York Mountains that month.

In November, the Allied Forces of the Four Clans had traveled through the York Mountains for more than [-] days. Before entering the Cursed Land, they had a profound experience of the severe cold of the Northern Continent.

On the west side of the York Range, in the endless and vigorous pine forest, a few shivering lions with drooping ears walked forward feebly on the snow, holding sticks, branches and other things here and there. , After confirming that it was possible to move forward, one of the lions turned his head and trotted back.

Hmm... The former scouts of the army were originally the Wing Clan, but after they climbed the main peak of the York Mountains, these birds who lived in the warm Far East were asked to carry the cold wind and the ice slag and snowflakes wrapped in the wind to explore the way , it is very unkind...

About 500 meters behind the scouts, the front of the staggering army is full of cold-resistant tea bears, and many tea bears are carrying people on their backs—the dying Yizu need to lie on their backs and rely on their backs. Body temperature to keep warm, anyway, the Yi people are light, and the tea bears have long been accustomed to carrying them across the mountains to grow tea, so it is not a problem to carry them on the road.

Elder Kuku, who "led the army" personally, raised his arms when he saw the scout reporting back, "Rex, is it safe ahead... Hey!"

Rex hugged the chubby and round Elder Kuku, wrapped his arms around Elder Kuku's neck, and stuck his hands that were white with cold into the back of Elder Kuku's neck, hanging on him very naturally: "It's, it's okay, it's safe, you can go."

"Get down!" Elder Kuku was angry and funny, tearing Rex off with his arm, "You lion clan is not a wing clan, don't just run on me all day long."

"Even if you're not a Wing Clan, you're afraid of the cold!" Rex put his warmed claws into his arms, "Elder Kuku, how long do we have to go? I'm dying of cold and exhausted! "

"You're still too early to die!" Elder Kuku pushed him away angrily, "If you think it's cold, transform yourself, it's better than a human."

"Don't do it, once I transform, you will ask me to carry something." Rex followed the large group with his hands in his hands, and even clumsily stuck his waist behind Elder Kuku's buttocks, asking them to protect him from the wind.

Although Elder Kuku was uncomfortable, he had no choice but to endure it; but the general in charge of the Lion Clan couldn't bear it. Not long after Rex fished, a lioness rushed over from behind, Kick your feet away...

Then the lioness didn't waste her energy spraying Rex, greeted Elder Kuku and dragged the guy to the front to explore the way...

"Lion clan, tsk tsk." Elder Kuku shook his head. It's a good thing that there are no such people in the tea bears, otherwise he wouldn't know what to worry about.

After a long morning's journey, the wind and snow had subsided by noon, and the lion tribe who explored the road also found a not too steep hillside that could accommodate the army to rest. Everyone stopped to rest, eat something and go on their way.

The pine branches picked up from the snow crackled and burned. After the snow water was melted, the tea bear who was in charge of cooking took out the hard gray bread and chopped it into pieces with a machete, along with dried vegetables, radishes, and meat. Throw in the portable dry food together and cook.

The lion tribes who were forced to serve as scouts dug up several nests of hibernating snakes, several litters of wild boars along the road, and found dried fruits stored by unknown animals (the so-called gluttonous cat nose spirit), all of which were processed for the tea bears and thrown into the pot Boiled into a stew.

The ingredients are not very particular, but after adding the thirteen-flavored chili noodles produced by the prairie people and the fresh juice provided by the lion tribe, the aroma from the pot is still very attractive, thanks to the tea bears carrying the Yizu people on their way Smelling the smell made me feel a lot more refreshed. One by one, I supported myself and sat up, waiting for the meal.

The four tribes brought as much food as possible before sending out troops, but they didn't expect that it would be so cold and consume so much after crossing the York Mountains. By now there was not much left, so they had to save food; the weak Yi tribe And the relatively slender fox clan consciously reduced their appetite, giving food to the tea bear who carried the most weight, and... the lion clan who were forced to drive ducks to the shelves, and acted as scouts and helped carry some supplies.

Elder Kuku drank most of the bowl of Luanlu, licked his lips, stood up and walked to a sick Yi tribe, without saying a word, poured the remaining snake meat and wild pork into the other's bowl, Then he went to the side and grabbed the snow on the stone to wipe the bowl.

Like Elder Kuku, quite a few tea bears also gave food to the Yi Clan who were suffering from frostbite. At any rate, they were the coalition forces who set off together, and they didn't see the Yi Clan dying on the way.

On the other hand, the painting style of the Lion Clan is hard to describe...

"It's not enough to eat!" Rex licked the bottom of the bowl clean, ran to the pot and found that there was no soup left, and was so angry that he wanted to throw the bowl. I'm full, is this the life of a human being? I'm starving and skinny!"

This time the leading lioness general did not come to kick him, but said kindly: "The conditions are difficult now, everyone is the same, not only you can't eat enough. It will be fine when you get to the place, where the snow werewolves have as much food as there are mountains, and they can cook , Anything you cook is delicious, and you can eat it openly. Didn’t the Snow Werewolf visit your house two years ago? Rex, do you still remember what kind of food the Snow Werewolf cooks?”

"Remember, remember!" Rex drooled, "It's delicious, but it's a pity that the wool left after living for two days, so I didn't cook a few more meals."

"How delicious is it, Rex?" Next to it, the male lions who also didn't think it was enough to eat looked over one by one with bright eyes.

Rex even forgot what he was angry with before, triumphantly promoting Wool's "extraordinary" culinary skills for the Nth time...

More and more male lions gathered around Rex to listen to his bragging...

The lioness general chuckled, lowered his head calmly and chewed on the dried radish.

Elder Xiu's husband is really useful!

The tea bears watching: "..."

"How many times has General Gloria dealt with them like this?" a tea bear whispered to his companion.

"I don't remember." The companion shook his head, with a troubled expression on his face, "It's so easy to be fooled every time, really... We used to have headaches for these guys for so many years, really..."

After eating and drinking, they continued on the road. The good-tempered tea bears consciously carried the allied army bags that they could carry on their own. Those who felt a little weak went to carry the Wings, which were lighter than the bags; the Foxes, who were not very strong among the orcs. There is no way to do this, so I only carry what I can afford, such as an iron pot, a tent or something.

As far as the lion clan is concerned... except for the hundred warriors who are responsible for the safety of the large army, all the other lions were called together to decide who would be scouts, who would carry the luggage, and who would paddle for fish...

There is no way, if you use other distribution methods, there will always be people who will not accept it and will rebel...

These "invaders" who traveled thousands of miles, had to drive hard for several days, and finally saw the great plain covered by ice and snow.

They saw the prairie, and so did the snow werewolves crouching in the abandoned stronghold of the Tiger Clan watching the west side of the York Mountains.

"It's here, it's finally here!" Xiaohua saw a group of people staggering down the mountain from the binoculars, and immediately greeted her companions in surprise. Soon, a large group of snow werewolves were abandoned by the tiger clan from here. They rushed out of the stronghold that had been slightly repaired.

"It's the Snow Werewolf! It's the Snow Werewolf!" The lion tribe who explored the road saw the white-haired wolf ears on the heads of the crowd running down the mountain, and tears filled their eyes with excitement.

The "invaders" who had been working hard for more than a month, and the "prairie defenders" who had been waiting under the York Mountains for almost two months, finally joined forces victoriously...
