Chapter 2 Iron Horse Bingge Talking

According to the analysis of the historians of the Amy Empire, Amy I did not intend to deceive Mua VII, as later history, when the kingdom of the Hami people had to evacuate the plain of flowers. Although the Flower Language Plain can be obtained again, the Amy Empire, which is strong in national strength, did not send a single soldier into the Flower Language Plain, and it is for this reason that the Holy Court, the second strongest country on the mainland, has been able to develop. So what prompted the so-called King of the Continent, Amy I, to make such a seemingly wrong decision?

Perhaps, we can find out the fundamental purpose of the king of the continent from the same little mercenary named Amy 500 years later. -- Continental King Research Expert: Amy's Imperial Royal Scholar's Phil Research Notes

————————————————————————————————————————————

"Who?" After Amy subconsciously asked, she suddenly realized the coexistence of wolves and humans, hugged her grandfather tightly in fright, and almost screamed.

In the village of Haik, there has never been a Hami coming, and even if there is a need to collect taxes, it is the Hami people who send humans of other races. Therefore, in this area, there are wolves without people, and there are people without wolves, and wolves and humans will not coexist at the same time.

"Hmm, is this the Haber family? I'm Lake. Haber's friend. The man's voice came from the top of the city.

"Daddy, Daddy, he's Daddy's friend" Amy almost forgot everything when she heard Daddy's name, and reached out to open the lock of the iron door. The old man's hand tugged at Amy.

"Listen to your language, you're not from Hami, you should be from the Amy Empire, right?" The old man asked in a deep voice.

"Well, yes, you're Uncle Haber, and Lake and I both serve as border guards with the Amy Empire." The man's voice was still said slowly.

"How do you stay with the snow wolves, they will eat everything but the Hami, you ...," the old man asked hesitantly.

"Oh, it's okay, I'll let them go, hehe, Uncle Haber, there are some special chances, so I'm one of the few people in the Amy Empire who won't be eaten by the snow wolf." After the man finished speaking, he seemed to be speaking to the snow wolf in the house: "Hey, brothers, let's go, I have something to do, Xiaobai, let your brothers leave this village." "

"Woo~~"

After a low wolf howl, the sound of the snow wolf inside and outside the house quickly disappeared.

The old man opened the iron door hesitantly and opened a small crack, and only after confirming that there was indeed no snow wolf through the gap did the old man open the door completely.

A middle-aged man dressed in the traditional costume of Amy's empire sat on the edge of the bed, and when he saw the old man coming out, he immediately stood up and nodded politely to the old man.

"Hello, Uncle Haber. I'm Lake. Haber's friend in the army, my name is Han Feng. Chi, or you can call me Chi Hanfeng, which may be more agreeable. "

"Uncle, where's my dad?" Amy jumped out of the hole and immediately asked the young man anxiously, and the old man Haber also showed the same question between his eyebrows.

"Well, to be exact, I don't know, that's why I'm here." The young man spoke seriously.

"Probably this is the case... "At the signal of the old man Haber, the young man sat on the edge of the bed and told him why he had come to the village of Heiko.

Like most of the residents of the Warm Water River, the villagers of Haike Village migrated from the Amy Empire and the Holy See, and this area, in the north, is surrounded by ice and snow forests that are 1,000 kilometers long and 200 kilometers wide, and the only non-coniferous forest on the frozen continent in the east, the Warm Water River Forest, is also very large, about 300 kilometers wide and wide. To the south and west is the sea.

The Amy Empire does not have the power to build a port here, and due to the climate, the Hami Empire will not build a port here. So most of the residents who do move here rarely leave, especially first-generation immigrants like Grandpa Haber.

Young people are different, Lake. Haber spent his childhood in the northern states of the empire, and when he grew up in the village of Heiko, he was a young man with a high temperament, unwilling to live in one place for a long time, and insisted on going out into the world. The opinion of the old man Haber is very clear: young people need to go out and break out, live for decades, and should do what young people should do when they are young.

In this way, 10 years ago, during the most recent invasion of Amy's empire, the 20-year-old Lake. Haber joined the Imperial Army as a guide - few people would have made it out of the Ice Forest or the Warm River Forest alive if it weren't for the large force movement.

In the 187th year of the Red Moon Calendar, that is, 5 five years ago, Ryke, who had already accumulated military merits in the army and became the captain of the Border Army of the Amy Empire. Haber took time off to bring his 2-year-old son, Amy, back to Heiko Village.

Lake. After giving birth to Amy, Haber's wife was too weak to resist the cold of the frozen continent and died a year later. And Lake. Haber couldn't take care of his son in military life, so he threw the burden on his father.

The previous things were already known to Hami, and the level of detail he knew was greater than that of Han Feng. There are more pools. The latter is the main reason why Chi Hanfeng came here.

Also in the 187th year of the Red Moon Calendar, Han Feng. Chi was ordered to be transferred from the imperial capital to serve in the border guards of the northern Lian states of the empire, and was the captain of the cavalry brigade of the border guards at that time. In Lake. Haber returned to the army from a visit and found that the original cavalry captain had been transferred back to the Huayu Plain on the border of the empire, and in a very formal visit, he met Han Feng. Cistern.

According to the man, Chi Hanfeng, in a series of subsequent cooperations, the then commander of the Glacier Infantry Brigade of the Border Guards. Haber had a life-saving grace with him several times: in the 188th year of the Red Moon Calendar, the newly appointed Chi Hanfeng Shuai team pursued the snow orcs who came out to harass the border in the ice and snow forest, and Chi Hanfeng, who was unfamiliar with the terrain, was brought into the ice and snow forest 50 kilometers deep by the snow orcs, and the cavalry brigade that wanted to annihilate these snow beasts in one fell swoop rushed down only to find that the snow orcs used the ice ladders on both sides of the ice valley to escape, and the cavalry rushed down the slope and looked back at the 30 ° slope with a feeling of being abandoned by the sky - 20 kilometers long slope, It only took half a day to rush down, but what about going back?? Can anyone go back? The horses simply did not have the strength to climb the slopes while overcoming the slippery ice.

Lake. After Haber learned of the whereabouts of Chi Hanfeng's troops, he quickly judged the worst outcome and led the glacier infantry brigade to chase the cold ice valley overnight on a sled. Then he used the quilt carried on the sleigh to pave a non-slippery road, so that the border cavalry brigade could avoid the disaster of the total annihilation.

Of course, there are still a few times like this, but the others are mostly personal help or life-saving graces, and what Chi Hanfeng described is very simple.

At the end of the 191st year of the Red Moon Calendar, the then captain of the cavalry brigade of the border guards and the captain of the glacier infantry brigade of the border guards. At the same time, Haber received an order from the governor of the northern states of the empire to return to the seat of the governor's palace of the northern states of the empire and escort the archmage of the empire to the Ice Begging Tower in the kingdom of the northern Hami people for trial.

One of the brigades only needs to escort out of the icy forests on the border of Amy's Empire, while the other brigade needs to escort the archmage into the Begging Tower.

In the history of the empire, there have been a total of 342 archmages, of which 134 offered to enter the Begging Tower for trial, according to records, a total of 35 archmages chose the Ice Begging Tower, but only three mages successfully passed the trial. One of the three men entered the Beggar Tower and completed the trial five years later, while the other two ended the trial ten years later. According to the magic diaries of the three Imperial Magisters (who pass the trial will receive the title of Magus of the Magic Guild again), after entering the Trial Tower, they are actually thrown into the Ice and Snow Enchantment, where they exercise and improve their magic level.

The task of the escort is to present the credentials to the Kingdom of Hami and the Kingdom of North Hami in the name of the country, and there are three places of the highest level of danger along the way.

The three major dangerous places in the Frozen Continent are: Trial Cave, Dragon's Tooth Mountain, and Ice and Snow Forest.

This trip will all pass through these three dangerous places, among which the ice and snow forest is relatively the safest.

The danger of the Ice and Snow Forest lies in the presence of snow wolves and snow beasts, and there is no one to get supplies; Legend has it that there are ice and snow green dragons near Longya Mountain, which occasionally attack business travelers on the mainland road; As for the written record of the trial cave, the most recent one was 56 years ago, and the team that escorted an archmage to the trial described that it was necessary to pass through the trial cave for 150 kilometers before you could reach the Ice Beggar Tower, and in this 150-kilometer cave, it would take at least 10 days to walk, and there were many monsters in it, and most of them could ice magic. The escort brigade of 750 people, from the trial cave one in and one out lost 70% of the fighters.

The approximate itinerary is as follows: from the Ice Fortress to the northern border of the Empire, take the continental road, 500 kilometers, and take about 15 days.

Ice and snow forest, take the mainland road, 250 kilometers, about 10 days.

To the capital of the Hami Kingdom to submit the credentials, take the mainland highway, 300 kilometers, it takes about 10 days.

From the royal capital of the Hami Kingdom to Longya Mountain, take the mainland highway, 450 kilometers, and it takes about 15 days.

It takes about 7 days to cross Longya Mountain and take the mainland road, 150 kilometers.

To the capital of the Northern Hami Kingdom to submit the credentials, take the mainland highway, 300 kilometers, it takes about 10 days, and in fact, although the Ice Begging Tower is located in the Northern Hammy Kingdom, the only way to enter the Begging Tower is in the territory of the Hammy Kingdom on the west side of Longya Mountain, so you must return to the Hami Kingdom again.

From the capital of North Hami to the west side of Longya Mountain, take the mainland highway, 450 kilometers, and it takes about 17 days.

It takes about 20 days to travel southeast along the Longya Mountain Range to the trial cave, 300 kilometers, no mainland road, no uninhabited area.

The trial cave, 150 km, no mainland road, takes about 12 days.

The entire round trip took about 200 days, and with the time spent in both countries, the whole journey took about 230 days.

For the last four years, Lake. Haber and Chi Hanfeng have cooperated to complete a lot of tasks, but this is the first time they have quarreled during a mission.

Chi Hanfeng's voice became heavier and heavier, and Amy and Grandpa's mood became heavier and heavier~~ Only those who live on the Frozen Continent know the dangers of the Frozen Continent.

A hundred miles of uninhabited people is too common for this continent, a violent blizzard can kill all people within a radius of hundreds of miles - no one on other continents can imagine, a snowstorm can fall for ten days in a row, the snow is more than three meters thick, and all people will be buried alive and suffocated.

The beasts that can survive in this world have extremely great ability and destructive power, and of course, the humans who can survive in this world are much more fierce and brave than the humans of other continents.

"According to the expected itinerary, we walked out of the ice and snow forest... "The man named Chi Hanfeng has walked into the history of memories.

Acting near the Ice and Snow Forest all year round, the Ice and Snow Forest is no longer too dangerous for the border guards, just like this time, after repelling 3 attacks by snow beasts, two large groups of imperial troops came to the territory of the Hami Kingdom safely.

But on the question of which team will return to the Empire and which team will continue to escort it down, Lake. Haber and Chi Hanfeng quarreled with each other.

Everyone admits that this trip is very risky, so they have to rush to go.

Lake. Haber tried to convince Chi Hanfeng with two reasons:

1. No heirs

2. When marching in the snow, the cavalry becomes a burden

But in Chi Hanfeng's understanding, this is precisely Lake. Reasons why Haber couldn't continue:

1. If something happens to Lake, his son will be an orphan

2. When marching in the snow, the horses can be more or less faster, and if something happens, the horses can also be killed and eaten - the knights who get off the horse are naturally infantry, where is it worse than the glacier infantry?

In the end, the two good partners made a move - in this case, the strong man goes, and the strong man has a better chance of survival.

Chi Hanfeng is full of confidence, he has entered the Imperial Knight School since he was 8 years old, and has always been the best in the school in terms of martial arts, and at the age of 20, he passed the ×× trial and became a ×× knight.

When he said this, Ji Hanfeng's voice suddenly became vague, focusing on Lake. Haber's grandfather and grandson didn't pay much attention to the details of his words.

The fight was private.

The result of the battle was absolutely unimaginable to Chi Hanfeng, and he lost in one blow.

In the previous missions of two-person cooperation, the cavalry brigade often performed assault missions, while the glacier infantry brigade often performed the task of pressing or retreating. Pool in the impression never saw Lake. Haber struck, and he was afraid of striking this good friend who was born as a mountain hunter, and he never knew what his martial arts skills were.

But in this battle, Ji Hanfeng rode his own mount and rushed towards Lake with a spear. Haber, without any fancy tricks, in the wind and snow Lake. Haber stepped up, and the two-handed big sword smashed directly on the spear, Chi Hanfeng felt that his hand was hot, and the spear was shocked out of the shield defense area. Lake. Haber immediately retreated - a knight with a spear, if there was a gap between the spear and the shield, it meant death.

Chi Hanfeng regretted that he didn't use a two-handed spear, otherwise this would not have happened.

"Forget it, brother, don't fight anymore, this is your fate and mine." Lake. Haber patted Ji Hanfeng on the shoulder.

"My son is 7 years old, and I wanted to take him to the Ice Fortress in a little later so that he could work out, but now this task is entrusted to you. Help me take care of him. If I can't come back..."

"This was 11 months ago." Chi Hanfeng's eyes were already moist.

"Is my dad dead?" 7-year-old little Amy asked anxiously and incoherently.

"I don't know, 1 month ago, the soldier who came back from the Begging Tower said that when the archmage entered the begging tower, there was an enchantment storm, not only the archmage was involved in the enchantment, but 3 of the 10 accompanying mages near the enchantment were involved in the begging tower, your father rushed to the door of the begging tower for everyone's safety, and tried hard to push the door shut, so as not to let the enchantment storm rush out of the begging tower, and when he used his two-handed sword as a latch to fasten the door, he was sucked in." Ji Hanfeng seems to have recovered his form.

"Will he be able to come back? What is Enchantment Storm? Little Amy asked worriedly.

"It should be possible, but I don't know how many years it will take. You're still young, and when you're older, you'll know. The man, whom Amy would later call her uncle, replied simply.

In the year 192 of the Red Moon Calendar, a stranger named Chi Hanfeng became a member of the Heike Village in the name of Amy's distant uncle. From the day he came to Hecker Village, Snow Wolf did not visit Hecker Village to collect taxes.
