Infrastructure Throne

Dawn calendar 797 years, early winter.The first snow has not yet fallen on the territory of the human race, but the white snow has covered every inch of the Grand Canyon.

Deep in the Grand Canyon, the territory of the Silver Lion Tribe.

Here is a piece of abundant pasture, the water of the lake is clear and sweet, and now there is a thin layer of ice floating on it.

There are slaves who regularly clear snow by the lake, dig through the thin ice to get water, and can catch a few fish when the temperature is still warm, but there is no trace of it now.

The food brought back by the soldiers of the hunting team was decreasing day by day, and even the meat for the ancestor demons was much less.

When the shouts of the soldiers came from afar, Ah Bai was lying on the snowdrift basking in the sun.

The silver-white mane blends with the snowflakes all over the ground, and the four paws are buried in the snow, scratching the sound of the snow squeezing. If it weren't for the big tail that is swinging around, it is almost impossible to recognize the person lying there. A genuine little silver lion.

After a long time, the "snowdrift" under Ah Bai's body moved, and the snow slid down, and even Ah Bai rolled aside.

The two huge heads turned around, one on the left and one on the right, holding two balls of fresh venison, which had just been roasted and were still steaming.

Ah Bai has lived with people for a long time and is used to cooked food. Later, what Shen Qingze fed him was the energy crystal nucleus produced by the system store, and it was a highly concentrated energy essence. It was sweet and crisp when chewed, just like ordinary food. The food is totally out of class.

Ah Bai stretched out his neck and sniffed, grabbed one of them, and took a big bite.

The orc warrior who was in charge of cooking food in the distance looked at A Bai nervously: "Have you eaten? Have you eaten?"

Another orc in a fur apron beamed with joy: "Young Master ate the piece I roasted!"

"What are you proud of? Isn't it just sprinkled with salt and pepper?"

"Tch, it took me a lot of effort to exchange it with the miser in the neutral zone! If you have the ability, go!"

The other party resentfully said: "If the neutral zone could be robbed, I would have already obtained it."

After eating salt and pepper venison as big as his own body, Ah Bai burped, rolled over on the hill-like back of the silver lion ancestor, and let out a lazily purring sound.

"The young master is so cute!"

"If only I could touch it."

"Shut up, you dare to be disrespectful to the young master? Beware of being thrown into the ice lake by Master Zu Yao..."

Like Yaya, Abai is a pure-blooded monster, and will not turn into a human form. The appearance of the furry cub easily captured the love of the Silver Lion tribe, as well as the worship of the blood and the strong.

Feeding the cubs to the young master is already a rare entertainment for the orc warriors, and many warriors come to watch at this time of day every day.

Half of them like to watch Ah Bai, and half they like to smell the scent to satisfy their cravings.

The hunting team is always trying to find new things for Ah Bai to taste. Unfortunately, with the arrival of winter, the harvested food has decreased, and some slaves and sick orcs are already starving.

This is true for a super tribe like Lianyinshi, not to mention other small and medium tribes in the Grand Canyon.

This year's winter is extremely cold. There was an avalanche a few days ago in the far northern snow-capped mountains. Heavy snow covered forests and fields, and the lack of food became worse day by day.

The tribes on the north side of the Grand Canyon began to migrate to the south one after another, robbing the resources of small and medium tribes to ensure the survival of their tribes.There are conflicts and looting of all kinds happening almost every day.

When this survival predicament spread to the entire Grand Canyon, the tribes collectively crossed the Grand Canyon to invade the human territory, and the tide of beasts was about to be staged again.

For a super tribe like Feiluan, this winter is an excellent opportunity - the human race is in a civil war, and various forces in the Dawn Continent join forces to besiege Beiyuan, and that damned Shen Qingze no longer has time to shelter the neutral zone.

This is a great time for the orcs to clear up their shame and regain the territory of the neutral zone!

Why are the warriors from all the tribes in the Grand Canyon living a hungry and full life, while those weak and incompetent guys in the neutral zone can be kept in captivity by the human race, without worrying about food and clothing?

The law of the jungle is the eternal truth of the orc tribes in the Grand Canyon!

As the war in the north became increasingly fierce, the tribes in the Grand Canyon competed for food increasingly fiercely, and the orcs gradually became restless, and their desire for food and revenge gradually gained the upper hand.

It has been several years since Shen Qingze entered the Grand Canyon and killed all directions. The young orcs have long forgotten the horror of being dominated by this powerful human race.

The factors of bloodthirsty and aggression boiled in their bodies, and finally on a windy morning, some tribes began to migrate to the south in large groups.

The large-scale change quickly spread throughout the Grand Canyon, and the leader was the super tribe Feiluan who had fought against the Silver Lion tribe.

The orcs moving south will plunder all the way, and finally sweep the entire Grand Canyon like a snowball, and then cross the Chiyuan River south, set foot on the territory of the human race, and attack the human city.

The news quickly spread to the Silver Lion Tribe. Abai missed his master in his heart and insisted on leaving the Grand Canyon and returning to Shen Qingze despite the dissuasion of the witch priest. The ancestor demon had no choice but to send a team of elite orc warriors to escort Abai all the way go south.

※※※

It was a foggy morning when I sensed Ah Bai's return.

After presiding over the court meeting, Shen Qingze was about to go to the city lord's mansion to inspect the work. Before stepping on the carriage, there were terrified screams from afar, followed by a few groups of snow-white silver lions jumping off the back of the griffin , jumped into the crowd.

Fortunately, Jin Da, who was following Shen Qingze, recognized Abai and avoided an oolong.

"Ah Bai!" Shen Qingze waved away the guards, looked up at the two-meter-tall pet, with surprise in his eyes.

It's been a long time since I saw A'Bai, now A'Bai has grown into a majestic big silver lion, he can no longer throw himself into the arms of his master to act like a spoiled child, A'Bai circled around Shen Qingze twice, couldn't help but take his head Arch him.

"Why are you back? Aren't you leaving in the future?" Shen Qingze stroked A Baiyin's bright mane, and carefully retracted its sharp claws, revealing only a pair of soft pads, obediently stretched out to the master touch.

"Aw!" Ah Bai called out briskly, and suddenly heard a crisp cry above his head.

"Chirp Chirp~" A golden-red phoenix swooped down from the sky, and instantly threw Ah Bai down. A lion and a bird rolled on the ground, ignoring the dust all over the ground and the guards watching, you Grabbed and pecked me and wrestled.

"Your Majesty the Monarch." The silver lion orc warrior who escorted Abai had witnessed Shen Qingze's terrifying power in chasing and killing a whole family by himself, and still retained respect for the strong.

Shen Qingze focused his eyes slightly, stroked the edge of the black diamond on the top of the Youji staff with his fingers, and raised his eyebrows: "What happened to the Grand Canyon?"

The silver lion orc raised its front paws and stood upright, transformed from a beast to a human, bowed to Shen Qingze, and performed the etiquette of a tribe of orcs.

"My family's ancestor demon and Lord Wuji, I am grateful that you did not enslave the silver lion orcs in the neutral zone, and guaranteed their lives. In addition, the young master has an extraordinary friendship with you, so I specially ordered me to come here and bring you a information."

Shen Qingze gradually frowned, combined with the recent information from the neutral zone, he vaguely had a not-so-good guess in his mind.

Sure enough, the silver lion orc on the opposite side didn't know how to beat around the bush, and said bluntly:

"The major tribes in the Grand Canyon have begun to gradually migrate south, and the territories of the tribes that rely on the south have been squeezed. It won't be long before they will launch a full-scale attack on the cities along the human race as they did a few years ago."

"As far as I know, in addition to the Feiluan tribe, there are several super tribes that will join. There is not much time left for you to be prepared."

Shen Qingze nodded slowly: "Thank you for letting me know, I wonder if the Silver Lion tribe will join this time?"

The Silver Lion orc shook his head frankly: "If there is a serious shortage of food, maybe it will."

Shen Qingze's heart suddenly sank. The last time the beast horde didn't join the super tribes, it still caused disasters to most cities in the Northland. It is obvious that this year's beast horde is bigger and the situation is more serious.

Especially at this moment, the Northern Cities Alliance is still at war with Beiyuan, and the situation is getting worse.

Shen Qingze resolutely canceled the inspection work, and immediately called the ministers to hold an emergency meeting.

The news sent by Abai and the Silver Lion Tribe is very timely. If all parties can be persuaded to cease fighting, and the 30 troops of the Zhucheng Alliance and the Eastern and Western Empires are united to fight against the beast tide, it may be possible to change the weak position of the Northland facing the Grand Canyon.

However, whether it was the opinions of the ministers or Yan Zui's reply from the front line, they all held a pessimistic attitude towards Shen Qingze's idea of ​​"fighting the enemy together".

For the Eastern and Western Empires, the people of the Northland lived in heaven or hell, which had nothing to do with them.

For the rulers of the Zhucheng Alliance, as long as the wealth and status of the nobles can be preserved, even if they voluntarily surrender food and slaves to the orc tribes, they can do it.

Shen Qingze's "optimal solution" has completely become wishful thinking in the face of naked interests and disregard for human life.

Even so, under Shen Qingze's stubborn insistence, Beiyuan's warning to the beast horde and the call for a truce to cooperate against the enemy still spread to all directions of the Northland at the fastest speed.

※※※

Moon City, the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

The north wind of the call sign was tightly shut out by the closed doors and windows, the meeting hall was still so cold that people shivered, and the burning flames in the fireplace failed to give people any warmth.

"Look at this letter, my eyes don't have presbyopia, right? Shen Qingze actually asked our cities to merge into Beiyuan immediately, so as to ensure that when the beast tide comes, we can get his protection?!"

A nobleman waved a gold-scattered paper covered with the seal of the King of Beiyuan, and in an exaggerated and mocking tone, read the letter from Beiyuan to the Zhucheng Alliance word by word.

His rhetorical tone caused most of the nobles in the chamber to burst into laughter.

"Beiyuan is already in danger of protecting itself. Manxi and Daxia each sent more than a dozen powerful wizard masters to the front line to help out. In a small-scale war, one wizard is enough to turn the situation around, not to mention the empire. There are more than twenty members in the legion!"

"Beiyuan is finished! So what if they have more artillery and gunpowder? How many cars are there in those 'iron houses'? As long as they dare to go to the battlefield, wizards can turn them all into scrap iron!"

"I'm going to start to admire the Beiyuan Monarch. After all, at the time of life and death, it's really smart to come up with such a high-sounding excuse to divert everyone's attention and get a chance to breathe."

"It's all just cleverness! Shen Qingze is just dying, treating me like a three-year-old child who is being fooled by him?"

City Lord Moon was very satisfied with everyone's sarcasm: "The most ridiculous thing is that Shen Qingze is brazen enough to let us merge into Beiyuan to get asylum. Who does he think he is? A great savior?"

Laughter filled the meeting hall, only a few small cities near the Chiyuan River, the representatives of the nobles were uneasy: "Everyone, our guards have indeed found some sporadic traces of orcs on the north side of the Chiyuan River. Is the content true?"

Everyone's laughter stopped abruptly, and Moon City said with disdain: "Every winter, orcs come out to look for food, why make a fuss?"

The other nobles taunted eccentrically: "You are so scared, why not just follow Shen Qingze's instructions, surrender to him, and beg for mercy. But I want to remind you that Beiyuan is about to perish. At this time, it is wrong to stand in the wrong team. There will be good results!"

The nobles in the small cities along the river put on a bitter face, sat back in their chairs, and cursed in their hearts. Once the beast tide really came, these cities would bear the brunt and become the front line. How many good days are there?

※※※

As Yan Zui judged, neither the nobles of the Zhucheng Alliance nor the commander of the Imperial Army took Beiyuan's warning letter seriously.

Instead, he began to laugh at Shen Qingze wantonly, thinking that this was an excuse he made for begging for mercy knowing that the country was about to die.

The decisive battle on the front line is approaching day by day.

Since the upper echelons of the two empires sent more than [-] wizards to the front line, the sluggish imperial army seemed to have been injected with a boost.

Among these sorcerers, there are three masters who are good at medical treatment and healing. The battalion of wounded soldiers howling every night gradually stopped dragging away the dead covered in white cloth. The slightly injured recovered their fighting strength one by one, and the dying survived. Seriously wounded to lightly wounded.

The soldiers of the Imperial Legion were more and more motivated to fight for revenge, and they ignored Shen Qingze's warning letter.

In the 797th year of the dawn calendar, in the second month of winter, the two imperial armies finally completed the final deployment of the decisive battle, allowing twenty wizards of the combat system to join the decisive battle team, and at noon when the clouds and fog disappeared, Beiyuan Army's steel defense line launched a general offensive!

Yan Zui had seen the extraordinary power of wizards before, but neither he nor the Beiyuan army, including Shen Qingze, had ever seen twenty wizards attack at the same time, what a magnificent scene!

They were firmly protected by shield hands, standing far away from the edge of the battlefield, chanting spells one after another into a passionate symphony.

For a moment, the wind, fire, thunder, water, wood, gold, and earth in the world seemed to have all become their soldiers, and they attacked the Beiyuan army's defense line like their arms.

The landmines buried in the soil were lifted up by the undulating earth dragons and exploded in the air. The dense wire blocking net was distorted and deformed by the invisible magnetic field, and finally collapsed with a tooth-piercing creaking sound!

The last obstacle is also gone!

The faces of the soldiers of the Imperial Legion were flushed with excitement, and the sound of charging and shouting for killing filled every corner of the battlefield.

In the temporary fortress, Yan Zui stood in front of the window of the watchtower, and once again rejected Xiao Meng's suggestion to send tanks.

"It's useless, extraordinary power, only extraordinary can resist."

Seeing that the enemy troops all over the sky were about to engulf this last line of defense, Xiao Meng and Teng Changqing frowned in pain, holding the gun tightly in their right hands, ready to risk their lives and send the Marshal away.

It was as if there was a clear breeze blowing over the cheeks and forehead hair of everyone on the battlefield, blowing over the wet soil on the ground, and the dark red coagulated blood...

Time pauses at this moment.

On the long front, accompanied by the sound of chants coming from nowhere, a golden and transparent city wall rising from the ground suddenly appeared in front of everyone!
