King’s Kingdom - Chapter 247
In the ice and snow of the Hengduan Mountains, the army of the Lanyin Kingdom was advancing with difficulty, and the road conditions at this time were even more difficult than before.
It was January, and it was the coldest time in the Lanyin Kingdom and the entire Hengduan Mountains. Just yesterday, a goose feather snow fell from the sky, raising the snow on the ground by at least 50 centimeters.
Now that the entire team wants to move forward, they must send people to take turns to clear the snow at the front, otherwise the snow with a depth of nearly two meters can definitely make the entire army pay a huge price for every step forward.
Such bad weather and environment directly reduced the army’s speed to the extreme. Fortunately, there are many trees in the Hengduan Mountains that have adapted to the environment. Although they are far from the density of forests, they are enough for heating. use.
In this way, although the environment is harsh and the temperature can reach nearly minus 60 degrees at the lowest temperature, with the support of sufficient food, tents, and fuel, there are not too many non-combat attritions.
And thanks to the low temperature, the soldiers injured on the battlefield did not get infected, and the entire marching team had no accidents except that the speed was too slow.
Theodosius walked at the front of the line on horseback, Critidos sat in the carriage of a small four-wheeled carriage, and Connatis was also warming himself in the carriage.
He looked at the thick snow on both sides of the road, and couldn’t help but stunned. This scene was really amazing, and it felt like Moses was dividing the water out of the ground.
At the front of the team, a large wooden push board was slowly advancing under the impetus of six iron-boned horses. The entire team could continue to move forward by relying on this thing.
Manpower alone can’t push the snow away, and even an ordinary haul horse can’t shake the weight of the snow at all. Only an iron-boned horse that is strong enough to be like a monster can move forward slowly.
The elf scouts were light in stature, so they stepped on the large wooden platoon to check the terrain in front of them, and took multiple insurances to allow the entire team to move forward.
However, the speed of this advance is really unbelievable.
If it goes well, you can walk 11 or 2 kilometers a day. If it doesn’t go well, you can only walk five or six kilometers, which is quite random.
Connatis sat in the carriage of the four-wheeled carriage, curled up in the corner, and did not have any communication with Critidos at all.
She is no longer as cheerful and lively as she used to be, and she only hopes to live a good life under the protection of Theodosius, not to be looked down upon all day long as she was living in Ikopixi.
Kritidos didn’t care about the elf’s attitude either, so she wouldn’t be jealous or even punching and kicking her because of jealousy.
Although it is said that there is a right and a wrong wife, there is not much difference in status, and there is no absolute right of wives over concubines in ancient China.
Besides, Critidos is not the kind of person who has no taste. Although she doesn’t like the elf in front of her very much, she has to admit that she is indeed a very beautiful woman. Inevitably, the birth certificate feels pity for fragrance and jade.
Connatis’s eyes were out of focus, staring at the brazier in the carriage in a daze, the tenderness between his eyebrows could not be concealed.
Critidos looked at her and sighed. She had heard about the origin of this elf and what she had suffered recently. After scolding Theodosius as a scum, she also put down her hostility towards her.
“Do you want to eat?” Kritidos brought a piece of barbecue to Connatis, which was her gesture of good will.
“Ah? Oh, I don’t need it…you eat…” Connatis came back to his senses and waved his hand hastily.
Her personality has changed. Instead of her pungent and confident refreshing energy, she has become somewhat submissive.
“Eat it!” Kritidos leaned over and handed the knife with the meat in his hand to Connatis.
The elf girl seemed to be a little afraid of Kritidosi, and she shrunk in the corner just now and did not dare to stretch out, for fear of invading the opponent’s space.
“You are a real sinner!” Critidos scolded her husband in her heart, and at the same time took her place back.
Although she sympathized with the elf girl, in the final analysis, the two had a conflict of interest. After all, Theodosius had only one person, and if he invested more in one person, he should reduce his investment in the other person accordingly.
Although she sympathized and pitied her, she was the limit of what she could do.
In fact, Theodosius didn’t want to put these two women in the same carriage, but there were really no more four-wheeled carriages in the team, and these four-wheeled carriages would slow down the speed.
The journey was okay, although the speed of the journey was slow to my grandmother’s house, but there were no accidents. After walking for a month and a half, I finally left the range of the Hengduan Mountains and stepped into the territory of the Lanyin Kingdom.
The entire team of warriors finally breathed a sigh of relief~www.mtlnovel.com~ Although the natural conditions of the Lanyin Kingdom are not very good, they are still far superior to the Hengduan Mountains.
At this time, it was a cold winter, but the temperature was only hovering around minus seven or eight degrees. Although it was relatively cold, it was much warmer than the Hengduan Mountains.
Over the Hengduan Mountains, under the circumstance of sufficient supplies, more than 300 soldiers were still frozen, and nearly ten were disabled by the extreme low temperature, unable to continue to serve in the army.
You know, this is the case where every two kilometers you walk, you stop to make a fire to keep warm, you are wearing armed clothes, cotton-padded clothes, thick underwear and sweaters, and the kettle is filled with hot water, and there are still people who are frostbitten to the point of disability.
It can be said that the entire army was exhausted physically and mentally by the extreme weather.
After resting in place, warming up and refilling the water bag with hot water, this is the journey back.
Breathing in the cold air that is not so pungent, Theodosius felt relaxed and happy. In the Hengduan Mountains, his breath could freeze on his eyelashes, and when he breathed into his nostrils, it would condense ice in the blink of an eye. After all, the kingdom doesn’t have to endure this kind of pain.
The feeling of returning home and the joy of being free from pain are mixed together, and the morale of the soldiers in the army has directly improved several times.
Compared with the Hengduan Mountains, the snow in the Lanyin Kingdom is not exaggerated, and the deepest place is only 30 to 40 centimeters. Although it has a little impact on the marching speed, it is minimal.
The speed of the march has finally increased to more than 15 kilometers per day, which is still under the premise of keeping warm, otherwise, it can walk 20 kilometers a day.
In this way, the army continued its mighty southward march towards the direction of New Lanyin City.
