1009. Winter Empire(1/2)

[In the first year of the mechanical calendar, the goddess arrived, and she made a contract with the king. Since then, history has entered a new era. 】

Under the cold moonlight, the ten-year-old white-haired chief of the Winter Tribe stared blankly at the goddess who had descended in front of him. His clear and stupid eyes reflected the goddess' figure of both strength and beauty.

The still young Elsa didn't know what true faith was, but when the six words "Don't kneel, stand up" came into her ears, the girl chief subconsciously stood up straight.

She thinks this goddess is quite good, so she will give it a try for a few days, hoping that she can make her people live a good life.

...........

[In the 10th year of the mechanical calendar, the Northern Frost Ghost Tribe invaded. Under the blessing of the goddess and the guidance of the king, the Winter Tribe defeated them. That night, the king received divine enlightenment in his dream, and the age of machinery began. 】

The white snowfield was dyed red with blood. The twenty-year-old Elsa led the team back from the battlefield in triumph, and the people in the tribe waved flags and cheered for the heroes.

That night, the Winter Tribe held a grand celebration. People gathered in the Goddess Square, singing, dancing, drinking and carnivaling.

Elsa didn't like dancing as much as before. As the chief of the tribe, she was much calmer now. She just looked at the lively scene in front of her with a satisfied expression, and then looked up at the statue of the goddess in the center of the square.

That location was the place where they first lit a bonfire and held a prayer ceremony ten years ago. It was also the place where she made a contract with the goddess.

It's just that compared to the desolate wilderness ten years ago, the tribe today is obviously much more prosperous. They have built a square here, and looking out from the center of the square, there are rows of sturdy and warm wooden houses, wide and spacious.

streets, various shops.

Outside there are cold-resistant farmlands, pastures, wineries...

Not far away there was the tinkling sound of blacksmiths hammering on steel, which was repairing the weapons and equipment of today's soldiers.

In short, although it is said to be a tribe, this is actually a quite prosperous town. Compared with the life of the savages ten years ago, when there were only a few thatched houses, the life was completely different.

And this also made Elsa couldn't help but think of the Frost Ghost tribe that had just been conquered and annexed today, and she didn't know how those barbarians who didn't even have armor or metal weapons dared to plunder them. They were really humiliating themselves.

However, after annexing the Frost Ghost Tribe this time, they also captured many people. Now that they have the labor force they lack, they can better fulfill the instructions of the goddess.

Elsa thought so in her heart.

Well, thanks to the goddess, it was her guidance that allowed the Winter Tribe to get rid of ignorance and move towards civilization and prosperity. Otherwise, they would probably still be worrying about food like the Frost Ghost Tribe.

While drinking wine, she listened to the sound of singing, dancing and blacksmithing not far away. Her vision gradually became blurred, and she finally fell asleep.

And in that half-dream and half-awake state, she once again saw the moonlight and flames, as well as the goddess holding a hammer in the fire.

"I've seen the goddess."

Elsa bent down and saluted.

Although she almost wanted to kneel down and worship, she finally resisted because the goddess did not allow them to kneel down. She said that her people did not need to kneel down to anyone.

Although Miss Chief now knows how difficult it is to achieve this oracle, she is willing to work hard to achieve this goal.

only.....

The goddess just looked at her quietly, her eyes gentle and loving, then she took her into her arms and hugged her gently.

"Cry if you want. No one else here will see your tears."

So, Elsa, who had always maintained confidence and smile in the face of the cheers and shouts of the people, felt a sore nose and burst into tears.

"Goddess, I'm so scared. Fighting is so scary. Karai, Linde, and Roman are all dead. They died to protect me."

Karai, Linde, and Roman were all childhood sweethearts who had grown up with her. A month ago, they were drinking and eating meat together, thinking about the future, but now Elsa can no longer see them.

Although the Winter Tribe won this battle, what was the point? They didn't want to fight in the first place, they just wanted to live their lives peacefully, but the damn Frost Ghost Tribe insisted on coming to plunder, and in the end they had no choice but to

Do not hit.

Now the battle is won, but many of her companions who initially went on the expedition will never come back.

"Goddess, why is there a war? Why can't we live in peace?"

Elsa lay in the goddess's arms and asked in confusion.

The goddess didn't answer, she just asked.

"Do you remember your original wish for me when you prayed to me?"

"I hope all my people can live a good life."

Miss Chief replied immediately.

She never forgot this for a moment.

Then, she saw a smile on the goddess's beautiful and dreamy face. The smile made her intoxicated in a trance and was engraved into the depths of her soul.

"Then I wish you can master the power to protect yourself. I hope you haven't forgotten your original wish when we meet next time."

The goddess said so.

Later, Elsa woke up from her dream.

At the same time, in the busy blacksmith shop, a thin young blacksmith named Walter looked at the cover blown away by the steam and couldn't help but sigh at the power of the steam.

"This is much greater than my strength. It would be great if I could use it."

The young blacksmith thought so in his mind.

............

[In the 20th year of the mechanical calendar, it has been nine years since the steam mentor Mr. Walter created the first steam. The power of steam spread throughout Winter City under the guidance of the great Queen Elsa. It was also this year that Frostwolf, the overlord of the northern snowfield,

The clan invades.]

Ouch...

The shrill howls of wolves resounded in the wind and snow, which was frightening to listen to. Then, in the snowstorm that was enough to obscure people's sight and make it difficult to see the scene five meters away, red lights lit up in the night.

.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Those are terrifying frost wolves.

This is a unique creature in the snowfields of the North. It is much larger than wild wolves in other places. An adult frost wolf is three to four meters long and more than one meter tall. It is enough to carry a fully armed warrior.

.

The Frostwolf clan is very good at taming frost wolves. Their ancestors have relied on the strength of their frost wolf companions to become frost wolf knights. Under the collective charge of the wolf cavalry, few enemies on the snowy field can stop them.

only.......

"Father, do we really want to attack Winter City? I think this is too risky. We already have enough food this year, so there is no need to take such risks."

A heroic female knight with a single ponytail looked at the majestic and tall city wall in front of her. She pursed her lips and persuaded the tall and mighty man next to her.

But the answer she got was a resounding slap in the face.

"Acat, what are you being cowardly about? This northern territory only needs one master, and that is our Frostwolf clan. If it hadn't been for that damn white dragon that has been causing trouble, we should have destroyed this Winter City a long time ago.

.”

The man shouted angrily.

The time for action was approaching, and he would not allow anyone to shake his military morale, not even his most beloved daughter.

"Get ready for action, Akat. I don't want to say it a second time. Otherwise, you will know the consequences yourself. It is the most punishing thing. You are not worthy of being on the front line. Go to the back and work as a logistics supporter."

After saying these words, the man took the reins and took the lead.

However, when he looked up and saw the tall and majestic city wall in front of him, a trace of worry actually flashed in his eyes.

The cavalry charge was most afraid of being blocked by the city wall. My daughter was right, this hard attack was not a good idea.

But there is no way. As he said, the North does not need two overlords. The resources of this snowfield are too poor and cannot support two overlords.

The Frostwolf Clan was once the uncrowned king of the North. All tribes surrendered to them and regularly paid tribute. However, since the inexplicable rise of Winter City that appeared out of nowhere, more and more tribes have joined them in recent years.

them.

If the Frostwolf Clan does not take action, then their past dominance will be lost, and all the tribes that paid tribute in the past will defect to the Winter City. By then, the Frostwolf Clan will no longer be as well-off as it is now.

It’s been a long time.

Now, he has no choice.

In response to this, the girl named Akat just covered her burning face and remained silent.

She remembered the envoy sent by Winter City a few days ago. The envoy invited her father to enter into trade cooperation with Winter City, saying that it would be a win-win situation for both parties.

Although she didn't quite understand it, she thought it seemed like a good idea. However, her father was furious and organized today's action.

Alas, I hope everything goes smoothly today.

Akat also pulled the reins and drove the rare pure white frost wolf sitting down towards the end of the team.

However, she was a little confused as she walked. After all, according to tradition, shouldn't she be punished for cowards who disturb the morale of the army by rushing on the front line and using their lives to clear the way? Why did her father punish her by joining the logistics force?

Oh, yes, she is the bravest warrior of the younger generation in the clan. If she is on the front line, this is actually a reward for her, not a punishment.

Acat could only think this way.

Soon, using the cover of the wind and snow, they arrived at the city, but the Winter City opposite seemed unaware of it.

So, the leading clan leader clamped his legs between the wolf's belly, sat down and the black wolf jumped directly onto the city wall. The sharp wolf claws were inserted into the cracks in the bricks of the city wall, and ice spread under the wolf claws.

, to help it crawl on the city wall better.

Led by the clan leader, many wolf cavalrymen behind them also followed suit, and they quietly crawled toward the top of the city wall.
