Chapter 331 Northern Lights (4000)
On the polar plateau, the farther north you go, the weaker the wind and snow are. It is surrounded by towering icebergs, and below the mountains is a rift valley of unknown depth. This place is supposed to be a forbidden land for life, but it is home to a variety of polar creatures, and the most basic nutrient that maintains the biological chain here is polar snow.
The snow in the central polar region is rich in ice elements and nutrients needed for life, but the nutrients in the snow cannot be absorbed by non-polar organisms. However, not all the snow that falls has nutrients, only the light pink snow has nutrients, so you can see snow-eating beasts migrating along the pink snow belt, and carnivorous beasts and cold monsters also move around the pink snow belt.
Slave York Red pulled the sleigh in the middle of a pink snow belt.
The flint giant summoned by Helot pulled another ice sled, and on the ice sled lay sleeping Melis. She closed her eyes, frowned, and looked as if she was having a nightmare.
Helot walked at the front of the team. The cold made him wrap himself tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. His eyebrows and eyelashes were covered with frost, and the contamination of the ice element caused the color of his pupils to change from black to light brown.
Panil followed behind Helot, dragging his shackles. He walked in a daze, as if he would fall to the ground the next moment.
Helot asked: "How far is it from the executioner's base?"
Panil gasped: "We're almost there! I was traveling faster than I was when I was sleeping. I'm really curious how you did it."
"Since yesterday, you have been saying that it is almost here, and you are still saying this now. If your base is lost before, you become worthless.”
"It's really almost there!" Panier pointed to a towering iceberg in front of him: "Just inside that iceberg, follow the snow and we will definitely reach it before dark."
Helot saw the iceberg ahead, undulating like the dragon he knew in his previous life.
The pink snow belt under your feet extends windingly towards the iceberg.
Helot quickened his pace and threw something to Panier, saying: "Let's go quickly! This is your second to last food. Look at the sun more, it's the last time you see it. . ”
Panil took the thing thrown by Helot with both hands. It was a piece of black bread, with heat radiating from the inside out. The toasted bread was soft and full of wheat flavor.
He would never have looked at such bread twice before, but now he couldn't help but devour it. For several days of travel, black bread was his main food, and he was still not full. On the other hand, the slave from Northern Xinjiang eats whatever meat he wants during meals. Even when he is traveling, he can take out a frozen sausage and bite into it at any time.
I will "repay" double the insults I receive!
While the bread was still cool, Paniel ate it as quickly as possible, then grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and put it in his mouth to quench his thirst.
When he regained some energy, he began to observe the surrounding glaciers.
Why hasn’t anyone saved me yet?
Paniel was sure that his father and the surviving tribesmen must have met with Fire Spirit, the person in charge of the Executioner's polar base, and they must have discovered this team heading towards the pole.
A fire magician, an Emmalu Bailey with almost no fighting ability, and a northern slave with only strength. They can be eliminated with a simple ambush. Why haven’t they been killed yet? action?
Do we really want to watch them reach the Pole?
What on earth is the father doing?
Panil was very anxious. He knew very well... that the moment he arrived at the Executioner's polar base, he would die.
What Panier didn't know was that Marquis Skovo was also anxious.
At this time, Marquis Skovo was standing on a raised glacier in the distance wearing a white cloak. He could clearly see his son's embarrassed appearance and wanted to rush over and rescue him immediately.
But he did not dare to do this, because behind this team, there was an army of undead.
The main force of this undead army is about five thousand skeleton cavalry. They march neatly in fifty hundred-cavalry squares. At the same time, they can quickly reorganize their formations according to changes in the terrain, showing extraordinary tactical literacy. .
It is conceivable that once the "bait" in front is attacked, these five thousand skeleton cavalry can rush forward in a very short time and complete the reverse encirclement of the ambush personnel.
And according to the information provided by Mistress Keshiya, these skeleton cavalry have extremely strong combat effectiveness, which cannot be compared with ordinary skeletons. They control the power of fire. When the sea of fire burns, the coldness of the ice field must also be avoided.
The undead army at the rear is not only composed of skeleton cavalry, but also a large number of crawling corpses scattered widely on both wings of the main force. They crawl on their hands and feet and can easily climb steep glaciers.
These crawling corpses serve as scouts for the undead army, and they may have discovered the ambush before it even started.
The undead army just followed the "bait" and moved step by step towards the executioner's polar base.
Marquis Skovo felt that there was an extra person beside him. After seeing the other person's appearance, he took the initiative to salute: "Mother Keshiya, have your troops arrived?"
After Mother Keshiya's cold demon army was defeated, she has been looking for the scattered cold demon groups and regrouping them. It's just that some of the cold demon groups were frightened and moved to new camps. It was impossible to find all the subordinate cold demons in a short time.
After discovering the size of this undead army, Mistress Keshia knew that the army was not strong enough, so she went to borrow troops from other tribes of Mistress Cold Demon.
Having hatred for the undead army, Mistress Keshiya said: "I borrowed three hundred cold demons, and including my tribe, there are a total of six hundred cold demons. Those short-sighted mistresses don't care at all. Knowing what it means for the undead to enter the polar regions, it’s ridiculous to think that the extreme cold can help the cold demons eliminate all invasions.”
There are only six hundred cold demons, too few!
The Marquis of Skovo was greatly disappointed with this number. No matter how strong the individual cold monsters were, they had to face nearly ten thousand undead.
"In this war, we are at home, but we are at a disadvantage."
Mother Keshiya said confidently: "Didn't you notice that all the polar beasts in this snow belt have disappeared?"
Marquis Skovo noticed that there were indeed no traces of polar beasts on the pink snow belt.
“Where have they gone?”
“We have all driven them to the Tormentor’s base. The Fire Spirit will use the medicine they made on those polar beasts. I see Through the crazy beasts they create, even the docile snow-eating beasts will become monsters that only know how to kill.”
After hearing that the Executioner's base had created an army of polar monsters to deal with the undead army, Marquis Skovo put aside some of his worries.
“Please, Mistress, give priority to rescuing my son. I guarantee that the new Ice and Snow Family will provide all conveniences to your tribe. Your army will be equipped with the best weapons and receive the best military training. Your power can expand beyond the Polar Plateau, and you can also complete the unification of the Polar Plateau..."
Mother Keshiya laughed: "Unify the Polar Plateau? I don't dare to have such a big ambition, the Polar Plateau? The great beings in the depths will not let me go. But the expansion of the tribe can be done, and it can be done by going to the northern border or further south."
The greed of the Marquis of Skovo. His expression changed, but for the sake of his family and his son, he said obediently: "The new Ice and Snow Family is your most solid ally."
"Let's wait until you become the new Ice and Snow Family to discuss the alliance." Mother Keshia was very arrogant: "Go back, the opponent's crawling corpse is approaching. Those ice undead are very agile on the glacier, don't be discovered by them.
Now is not the time for war. "Mother Keshia shook the ice wings and left the glacier. Marquis Skovo looked at his son in the distance and jumped off the glacier.
At this time, Helot didn't know what was ahead. There was something waiting for him.
He knew that someone would save Panir, so in order not to waste time in the counter-ambush battle, he arranged an army of undead to advance simultaneously in the rear.
Anyone who wants to save Panir must consider whether he can survive the rapid support of the undead army. The enemy will not act easily if he is not sure, and he will be able to reach the executioner's polar base earlier. < br>
As for Panir...
Helot has been hiding his identity from him, and he doesn't know that there is an army of undead behind him. In order to survive, he must reach the polar base before Melis is lost, hoping to be rescued on the way.
If he knew his identity as Claude, he didn’t know what he would do for the survival of the Skovo family.
Now, the Executioner's polar base is in sight. They had no choice but to receive themselves as uninvited guests.
Whether we can find a way to save Melis depends on what happens tonight.
The sun was watching its setting in the southwestern sky.
The glacier reflects the brilliance of the stars in the sky and the moon, making the polar night not as dark as imagined. The colorful aurora adds a fairy-tale color to the ice sheet.
Melis woke up from a long nightmare. The flint giant pulling the ice sled stopped, and then its body collapsed into a pile of flaming stones. The polar ice element suppresses the fire element too strongly, making it difficult for the flint giant to maintain its form for a long time.
The entire team stopped.
Slave York Red loosened the reins on his body, took out the food rack and grilled it on the pile of flints, and found a pot to boil water for a drink.
Herot helped Melis up: "We are almost at the end of the executioner's territory. After a while, we will be full and ready to fight...but we still hope they can be reasonable."
Melis watched Looking at Helot, it took a while before he suddenly realized: "I remembered you, team leader. It seems that my memory has declined very badly. I don't know when I will really forget you."
Loss of Memory It is the process of Han Yao getting lost.
Helot did not show sadness. He smiled and said: "You will be fine, I promise! Come, let's go see the Northern Lights together. The lineage of the Erwin family is called the Northern Lights. I don't know how. You can’t gain anything from the aurora.”
Meilis also smiled cheerfully: “When I went deep into the polar regions, I often watched the aurora at night, but I didn’t feel anything special. Where is the most beautiful place to see the aurora? Have you seen that rock? ”
"Let's go!"
Helot pulled Melis onto the huge rock. Looking up, the sky is indeed very different. It's like adding a layer of lenses. The bright stars in the sky are right in front of you, as if you can reach out and touch them.
The aurora is also very close, as if there is a screen surrounding the stone, and the aurora shines on the screen.
Helot was in the sudden scenery and couldn't help but be stunned.
At the same time, he said to himself: "The concentration of ice elements here is uneven, and the transmission and refraction of light produces an effect similar to a mirage."
Melis couldn't help but laugh: "As expected of a top student at the Imperial Academy, you saw through it so easily. Now I am going to interfere with the concentration of ice elements here, and you will see the most beautiful polar night sky."
Meilis stretched out her hand, and tiny ice crystals continued to rise in the palm of her hand.
The concentration of ice elements was disturbed, and the starry sky actually revolved around the boulder. The aurora turned into a colorful dancing light band, and six petals of ice flowers slowly fell.
At this time, Herot's eyes were all on Melis. She was like an elf in the ice and snow, innocent and innocent, and her eyes were full of nostalgia for this world. The red earrings were the most eye-catching color on her body, and the radiance reflected a warm blush on her cheeks.
Suddenly, Helot grabbed Melis's hand and used magic to stop her from releasing magic.
"I want to see this beautiful scenery a few more times on the way back, so don't have any overdraft before I cure you. Keep your mind clear and think back more about things that make you memorable.
Now let's set off..."
Helot didn't finish his words and turned to look in the direction of the iceberg.
There was a bright light approaching at high speed over there, and it flew close in a few seconds.
He is a man whose whole body is burning with fire.
Through the previous torture of Panil, Helot knew the identity of the other party, the person in charge of the Torture Bearer Polar Base, and one of the candidates, "Fire Spirit".
The bloodline of Duke Chiyan, one of the twelve founding Dukes, has a very high affinity for the fire element and is good at various fire-attribute magics.
Fire Spirit stopped far away and saluted Helot: "Dear Duke Claude, welcome to the Executioner's polar base. I am Fire Spirit, the person in charge here. What can I ask you? Can I be of service to you?”
“You, you are Claude!” The expression below Panier was extremely shocked. He did not expect that Claude would return to the center of the empire. Run to the iceberg and snow peaks. Looking back on Duke Erwin's respect for him, it seems that only this identity can explain it.
Helot ignored Panir, who was stunned, and said to the fire spirit: "I warned you torturers, I am not interested in what you are going to do, and I also ask you not to provoke me. Mei Liz is my assistant, I don’t care what you did to her in the past, I just want her to recover!”
Fire Spirit said with a smile: "Of course we must comply with the request of the Duke of the Undead. But... we have no way to reverse the cold demon's transformation. Princess Snow is dead!"
"You should think carefully before answering. ! Give you a chance to answer again."
"I'm sorry, Lord Duke. I understand your current mood, but we really have no way to reverse it, and we have never thought about it, because we don't need to. ”
