Chapter 1416: Beiyuan War, Sisters and Brothers in the Snow
Chapter 1416: Beiyuan War, Sisters and Brothers in the Snow
The north of the divine realm is the worst place in the entire divine realm.
In summer, the temperature of this land can reach nearly fifty degrees, and in winter it snows all year round, and the entire grassland is covered with ice and snow.
It is precisely because of this extreme environment that it is difficult for plants to grow on this land. Only a short plant called "winter grass" can grow here, which is also the most common plant in the entire Northern Plains.
It is the Fiery Winter Grass that feeds all the creatures in the Northern Plains.
Because of the harsh conditions, the barbarians have always been composed of tribes and tents. Each tribe is far away from each other, and each tribe is almost mainly engaged in animal husbandry.
The barbarian population was not large to begin with, and could not be compared with the human race in the Central Plains of the Divine Realm. In addition, the tribes were far apart, so recruiting troops and logistical supplies became a big problem.
Ever since the war between the barbarians and humans began, decades of warfare have consumed nearly 70% of the strategic materials in the entire Northern Plains, and the number of the barbarian snow wolf riders has also dropped by one third.
It can be said that the war between the barbarians and humans, although the barbarians seemed extremely ferocious, was actually completely a war to support war, and it seriously consumed the barbarians' various resources.
This is why the barbarians chose to form an alliance to fight against magic while gaining the upper hand in the war.
Because the barbarian leaders knew very well that they could not win this battle at all, unless they could use blitzkrieg to sweep all the way in the early stages of the war, destroy the Qin royal family and all the major transcendental forces of the human race, and then use a policy of keeping the people ignorant to appease the mortals of the human race. Only then would there be a slight possibility of winning the war.
But after decades of war, the barbarians began to show signs of fatigue after occupying most of the territory of Yan State, and it was extremely difficult for them to make any further progress.
On the other hand, the human race not only became more powerful as the battle went on, but also had ample logistical supplies. Their tenacious will to resist even frightened the famous Snow Wolf Riders.
Therefore, the barbarian leaders finally realized that they could not win this battle at all. If they continued to fight, they would lose all their capital. Not only would they have to face the wrath of the human race, but they would also be unable to explain to the demons who were eyeing them covetously.
It is precisely based on the above reasons that alliance becomes the only option for the barbarians.
However, since the alliance, they have staged several self-torture tricks with the human race to kill many powerful demons. Eventually, the news of this leaked out and was known by the demons.
The demons were furious at this and immediately sent troops from Beichuan to attack the divine realm.
In just a few months, the barbarians were defeated and finally realized the horror and brutality of the demons.
To the demons, all the living beings in Jiuzhou need to be wiped out. Only by slaughtering all the living beings in Jiuzhou can they truly destroy the luck of Jiuzhou. Then the way of heaven will collapse, and the demons will then establish a new way of heaven and completely turn Jiuzhou into their home.
Therefore, wherever the demons pass, all living beings suffer!
As the demon army advanced, the barbarian tribes were slaughtered one after another, and even the so-called king's tent was destroyed. Even the new barbarian king who had just taken office could not escape the bad luck and was beheaded in public!
For a time, the barbarians were in danger!
At this moment, millions of human troops appeared and finally blocked the advance of the demon army for the first time.
Just when the entire barbarian tribe felt that they saw hope, some powerful demons took action and the millions of human troops were eventually defeated.
In order to avoid being defeated by the powerful demon saints in one fell swoop, the leader of the human army immediately ordered the army to be divided and adopt small-team guerrilla tactics to delay the demon offensive. At the same time, a huge high wall was built at the border between humans and barbarians.
This high wall was built by the spells cast by countless monks. It stretches for tens of millions of miles, like a huge barrier that completely isolates the Northern Plains of the Divine Realm!
It has to be said that guerrilla tactics did achieve certain results.
Faced with the harassment of the human guerrilla groups, even those powerful saints were quite distressed. This was because the human army came prepared and carried a rare material called "Mystical Wood". This kind of wood could avoid the detection of divine consciousness. Once divine consciousness came, it would only see the army carrying this kind of wood as grass and trees.
In fact, the God-confusing Tree is a plant unique to a small country in the divine realm called "Baekje". Apart from being able to confuse the gods, it has no special use and was often used as firewood by the people in Baekje.
It was not until the Qin Dynasty conquered various countries and finally destroyed Baekje that it obtained this wood. It then blocked the news about the wood and secretly transported it back to the heartland of the Qin Dynasty.
After decades of cultivation, the mysterious wood has long become a real strategic material of the Qin Dynasty.
In order to deal with the demons and prevent them from being on guard, the Qin Dynasty had never used this wood until this time of aiding the barbarians, when it finally used this magical wood.
It was precisely because of this wood's confusion, coupled with guerrilla tactics, that even the powerful demons found it difficult to find all the Qin troops at once. They could only use their eyes to see, so they were exhausted and finally gave up.
However, the constant harassment from the Qin guerrillas made the demon army miserable, and eventually the demon army also dispersed and targeted them one by one.
Although the effect was significant, it did slow down the advance of the entire demon army.
However, this also brought suffering to the ordinary people who were fleeing from the barbarians. Many of them often encountered the demons who were searching for the Qin army on their way and were killed one by one.
In just a few months, the entire Northern Plains was almost stained red with blood, and the barbarians had reached the critical point of racial extinction.
In the cold wind, a shirtless young man with animal skin tied around his waist was roasting a snow rabbit with a tired look on his face.
The boy's name was Aji, and he was a livestock herder from a barbarian tribe a hundred miles away.
Not long after the demons invaded, his family fell in a pool of blood like other warriors in the tribe, but he was herding a group of snow deer at the time, so he escaped the disaster.
When he discovered the demons, he was so scared that he trembled all over. He finally drove the snow deer to lead away the demon soldiers, and then ran all the way back to the tribe, but he saw a sad scene that made him tremble all over.
Just when he decided to bury all the tribesmen after crying bitterly, he found that his sister was not dead, but had broken her legs and fainted.
Since then, he has been living with his sister.
His sister is blind, but she is the only witch in the tribe. She is born with the ability to get close to snow, so even though she is blind, she can sense movements from a long distance as long as it snows.
So Aji became his sister Axue's legs, and his sister Axue became his eyes, and the two siblings depended on each other, avoiding many demons and getting closer to the southern divine realm.
But soon they could no longer move, because Axue sensed that there were too many demons searching around, so they could only stay in the snow.
Fortunately, they found two pieces of the mysterious sacred wood from the bodies of two human soldiers during their journey, so once they sensed that a large number of demons were passing by, they would bury their bodies in the snow and thus avoid many disasters.
Of course, they did not compromise with fate, nor did they bow to the demons.
During this period, the two brothers and sisters worked together to kill many lone demons.
"Aji, hurry... hide quickly, I sense another demon approaching, this time there are... two demons!"
At this moment, Axue, who was sitting opposite Aji, suddenly spoke, looking a little nervous.
