Just south of the Shenwei Fortress, dozens of white soldiers holding muskets appeared on the open space connecting the plains and the old river.

They did not ride horses, which shows that they were not really scouts, at least not the type that is familiar to the sub-education.

During the gap between the wars between the South and the Northern Territory, the Shenwei Fortress never sent infantry to cross the old river, that is, the canyon directly north of the fortress. This has been verified for hundreds of years. The reason is very simple - because of its advantages in height, physique, etc., the barbarian cavalry in the north far surpassed the whites in the south. Whether chasing or escaping, the whites were at a disadvantage. Therefore, the whites would only rely on the fortress to guard and defend, and would not easily send infantry.

Once their infantry moves, it means that war is coming again.

Yacheng finally understood why Lao Wei kept repeating those two words before his death, whether it was sound or silent————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

I have to live, not die.

...

The God of Luck favored Yacheng, and he rushed back to the Lock Dragon Pass without stopping. In order to increase his speed, Yacheng threw away the sacks filled with heavy soil and rocks, threw away the dry food he carried with him, and threw away the shields and weapons. If you want to run fast, you must reduce the weight, especially those stones. As long as you win the white man who dares to invade, you can still return to the place where the captain and Lao Wei died in battle and take back the lost things.

"What? The white man is coming again?"

The commander Hu Yongxian, who received the news, was full of surprise. He did not believe in Yacheng, but this fact was incredible and beyond imagination. After all, the white people in the south had never had such a short war interval in history. It has not been more than ten years since the last war.

He immediately sent as many as hundreds of scouts, and immediately dispersed after leaving the customs, gathering the Shenwei Fortress from different directions to search for all information.

By the early morning of the next day, more than a dozen scarred scouts brought back more accurate news————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

There is another even more terrifying news: the old river channel north of Shenwei Fortress has been filled, and tens of thousands of white laborers are appearing along the central area with a width of more than five meters to extend to both sides of the river channel. It seems that the width of this valley passage that is blocked across the fortress has continued to increase so that more troops can pass through in turn.

This is not a normal practice for whites. When they sent troops in the past, they never filled the river channel, but sent large troops to circle the sides of the valley. The reason is very simple. If the war is unfavorable and they are forced to retreat to the south, the Shenwei Fortress is the most important stronghold to resist the barbarian pursuers. In that case, there are no defensive facilities of any kind, not to mention that the whites have muskets and have a range advantage.

Hu Yong held an emergency meeting as soon as possible.

"Everyone, tell me what your opinions are. What exactly do those white people want to do?" Facing hundreds of officers of different ranks, Hu Yong first spoke out bluntly. He frowned very tightly. He had maintained this expression since receiving Yacheng's report.

"Do they want to start a war?" A senior commander who sat on the head of Hu Yong was puzzled by this: "How long has it been since the last war last time? According to past experience, white dwarfs must maintain a truce period of at least 30 years, and it may even last hundreds of years. Their losses last time were heavy. The number of bodies we brought back from cleaning the battlefield was as many as 800,000, which did not include the hundreds of thousands of wounded soldiers captured by us. The total number of whites is millions! Even if there are more whites than us, they will find it difficult to withstand this level of casualties. So I have to say that it is impossible to start a large-scale war, at most it is tentative harassment."

"Test?" Opposite, a commander with the sign of ten thousand people on his left arm had a different opinion: "We have been fighting with the white shorts for so long. When have you ever seen them sending people to test during the truce?"

Another commander thought more deeply about the issue and more meticulously: "In our opinion, a million troops are indeed a lot, but they are really nothing to the whites. We have never been to the southern continent and are not familiar with the situation there. But I think the whites must have some reliance on this large-scale military dispatch. Their king is not an idiot, and he will not be so stupid that he knows that we have the protection of the guardian god and will force the war."

There were a lot of discussions and various voices. The participants were very convinced because no one could produce enough evidence.

Deputy Commander Shi Zhenghao pushed away the chair and stood up. He coughed hard a few times, and glanced at the audience with a majestic and serious look: "It is useless to continue fighting like this. We currently have too little information to make accurate judgments. But one thing is certain, that is, the scale of the white dwarf's troops this time is similar to that of previous wars, or even more."

Hu Yong, who had been silently listening to everyone's opinions, turned around and stared at Shi Zhenghao: "Do you also think the white people will launch a full-scale attack?"

Shi Zhenghao shook his head: "I don't know. But those white people may just pretend."

"Pretending?" A senior commander sitting on his left disagrees with this: "One million troops are not as simple as saying it. Even if they are dispatched from the Shenwei Fortress, the daily food and grass required is a big problem. Are they really too much food to eat, and they have reached the point where they can be wasted at will?"

"I just said it's possible!" Shi Zhenghao emphasized: "The white people know that we have a patron saint, but it's difficult to summon the patron saint. Moreover, if the white people know this, they will send large-scale troops not to fight a war, but they just want us to become nervous and recruit a large number of resources from the rear... In this way, they will achieve their goal."

The commander was slightly stunned and suddenly realized: "Deputy Commander, do you mean that the white people deliberately consume our food in this way?"

"This is just my personal opinion." Shi Zhenghao's face still looked solemn: "We must consider various possible situations and minimize our losses."

Faced with the chaotic venue, the head coach Hu Yong made a decision quickly: "Order the departments to be prepared, and the alert level is raised to the highest. Scouts sent to inquire about the white people's march route and actual number. In addition, messengers were sent to explain the situation to the kings of each tribe, so that they could prepare military equipment, food and grass in advance, and recruit troops in case."

...

The heavy wheels rolled over the frozen soil, leaving ruts on the hard and cold surface. People in mail uniforms led cattle, horses and livestock slowly walked slowly from the south. They waved their pickaxes and used their strength to pry open the soil. More people in groups, holding steel pliers, smashed them with iron hammers, and digging out soil pits on the cold and hard ground, then expanded, inserting and burying four-meter-long metal poles, and starting to build tents based on this.

Duke Framar has a soft face line. At first glance, his skin looks between a mixed color and a white color. When you look closer, you are actually more light white. It is just because he is fighting outside for many years, and his skin looks rough, which is far less tender and smooth than the nobles who stayed in the Kingdom Court.

He is very handsome, with his carefully decorated beard on his upper lip and cheeks showing vicissitudes and heaviness. This is the charm of a middle-aged man. Young people who are just starting to get it through battles again and again, from the depths of swords, guns and blood and fire. Those dark blue eyes are the most prominent evidence of the Viking royal blood, revealing a faint indifference in the depth and a rock-solid heart.

Each kingdom has its own god of war————Duke Kalis is the pride of Rhine, the hero of the kingdom of God is Abbas, the Marquis of Brackbarn in the Saxon Kingdom, and the most famous general in the Kingdom of Gorebacea is Ioridis. As for Flamar, both the Viking royal family and the lower civilians, he is considered to be the greatest military commander in history.

The five kingdoms and the Holy See did not reach every corner of the continent's rule. In the southernmost part of the continent, close to those areas covered with ice and snow and cold all year round, there are large and small barbarian tribes. Unlike the giants north of the Lock Dragon Pass, these barbarians living in the ice and snow in the south have heights and physiques similar to those of white people. The biggest difference lies in their skin color.

They are people with charcoal-like black bodies.

Initially, a captain named Wilson discovered the black man. He was a naval officer in the Saxon Kingdom and was promoted to captain. During the battle with the Kingdom of God, Wilson was ordered to lead three second-class destroyers to carry out a mission of breaking the handover. The "Baojian" where he was located fell into the rarely-traveled southern polar region due to the storm. In order to find supplies, Captain Wilson led dozens of armed sailors to the ashore. They discovered and captured a black tribe, obtained a large amount of seal meat, and captured up to hundreds of black men.

The book "Wilson's Travels" has a high evaluation in the history of the cultural history of the southern white people. Wilson himself likes to write poetry, and his diary focuses on the form of mixed poetry. In that distant era, publishers with unique visions smelled the smell of money from Wilson's experience. They changed the diary to travels and published it, which caused a sensation after it was launched, and both civilians and nobles rushed to buy it. This special effect was largely caused by the giants in the north. After all, no one expected that such a special race existed in the distant southern polar region.

From the warm south to the cold polar regions, there are also tall mountains similar to Lock Dragon Pass blocking the traffic between the two places. The "Baojian" trek opened a new chapter in history in the Southern Continent. As more ships traveled to the polar regions along the so-called "Wilson route", people were surprised to find that there were a large number of black people living there, and the southern polar regions were not completely shrouded in ice and cold as imagined, including dozens of warm basins, and large islands without snow all year round. All of this constituted a paradise and paradise for blacks.

How many black people are there in this world? There has never been an accurate statistics.

But one thing is certain: since Captain Wilson discovered the secret of the southern polar region, all countries have been sending troops to open up connections with the polar region. Conquers from the civilized world used gunpowder to blow up the natural barriers of rocks and captured black tribes with powerful troops. In the past two hundred years, the major kingdoms and the Holy See brought back at least five million black slaves from the southern polar region.

Even if a rabbit is anxious, it will bite people, let alone black people. Faced with the threat of life and death, the black people learned to unite. They gained experience from the tragic experiences of countless compatriots and began to deal with outsiders with flexible guerrilla tactics.

Duke Framar fought in the south all year round to solve the threat from black tribes to the kingdom of God. Never underestimate the Antarctic ice field, which is very different from the civilization era. There is a rich aquatic product in the ice sea, and the crop harvest in the warm basin is extremely rich, which is enough to maintain a huge population consumption. Black people are far more familiar with this area than whites. They hunt seals, white bears, polar wolfs and snow leopards, get a lot of animal skins, and usually eat fatty animal meat and fish to maintain physical energy. With a sufficient material foundation and flexible guerrilla tactics, they can barely maintain a balance of combat power. Sometimes they can even seize the opportunity to attack the hinterland in the south and occupy towns.

The war between whites and blacks is endless. The former requires slaves, and will kill all the young and young in the conquest process, leaving only strong black men and women. The latter retaliates against whites because of hatred and survival issues, and they will not hold back. The first thing they do after conquering the white residential areas is to massacre the city. Men and young and young are killed and women are abducted. This is not because of sexual (harmonious) demands, but as a proposition of their own military achievements. These white women will be given gifts to various black tribes. Their endings are very miserable, they are killed in public after being humiliated, and they are eaten by the entire tribe. It is said that this can enhance the courage of tribe members, and may even develop magical immunity to bullets when facing white muskets.

Gradually, blacks also learned to use a meds. All this was because of damn merchants. They dared to sell anything in pursuit of profit and ignored the kingdom ban. After all, blacks were different from northern giants. Their size was similar to whites and had a lot of similar languages. Although they did not have much gold, they could take out a large amount of fur in exchange for it, and other types of special products... Over time, blacks also imitated the practice of the white army, and skilled musketeers appeared and learned linear shooting arrays.

Flamar never thought that blacks could win this war. They might occasionally gain the upper hand, but they could not avoid the failure. The reason is very simple. The number of blacks is too small, and the five kingdoms and the Holy See regard them as common enemies. Apart from capturing the strong as slaves, the rest of the old and weak are caught and killed. At this consumption rate, even if the blacks have strong learning ability, they cannot last long.
