Douluo: Xiu Xuanjun seven chapters, become the compassionate medicine king!

Chapter 107 Snowstorm
Darkness, extreme cold, and dead silence, this is how the people in the north describe the polar night.

At this time of year, the Far North is colder and quieter than usual. The entire sky is dark and hazy. Looking deeper into the Far North, all you can see is endless darkness.

Legend has it that it is an absolute forbidden zone for life, the domain of the emperor who rules over the ice and snow, and no one can set foot there!
The polar night is also synonymous with death. During this time of food shortage, all lives are both hunters and prey. Even a hundred thousand year old soul beast dare not face its own kind whose eyes are red with hunger.

Sometimes, human villages are found to have been completely eaten up when the polar day arrives, with all traces of the food being buried by wind and snow, and no one knows what exactly did it.

However, at this time when everyone was talking about it in fear, a steel city rose from the ground in the blizzard!

The tall energy tower in the center is like a sun in a winter night, providing enough heat and energy for the entire city, enabling the soul guides that would be affected by ice and snow to be used normally, and allowing the soldiers who came from afar to not be afraid of the cold.

In the room at the top of the energy tower, Orange sat upright on a chair, facing the huge floor-to-ceiling window that replaced the wall.

From this position she could see black smoke billowing from countless chimneys. Resources that had been buried deep under the frozen soil for countless years were being mined continuously and then transported back to the Sun and Moon Empire to supply the research and development of the god-making project.

Far away in the Far North, Orange had no idea about the progress of the god-making project, but as someone who controlled the supply chain, she knew very well that the annual output of steel produced by this entire city was comparable to that of the Sun and Moon Empire in three years. This meant that the city was supplying blood to the entire empire on its own!

Orange believed that the Church of Abundance had ill intentions, but she could not deny that the technology they had come up with was absolutely epoch-making. Without this technology, such a large project could not be carried out.

"Da da--"

There was a knock on the door, and the assistant came in and said, "Commander, the shallow resources in this area have been mined out. Should we continue to mine deeper?"

After hearing this, Orange said, "No, mining in deeper layers will waste too much time and resources. We should just move the city to the next planned location for mining."

"By the way, didn't those people from the northern border want to join us some time ago? We are short of manpower right now, so we can divide them into groups of ten. Each group will have a soldier to lead them and teach them how to use the machines."

After the First and Second Armies broke through the Shiming Pass, the Fourth Army led by her headed northward. She thought she would encounter fierce resistance, but she did not expect that the northern border, as a bitter and cold place, had always been unloved. When she encountered the powerful Sun and Moon Army, she surrendered very easily.

Even when they saw that the Sun and Moon Army had such good food, the people in the North immediately switched sides and cried and shouted, hoping to join them.

The assistant was extremely surprised by what Orange said, because she had never expressed her opinion before. Why did she suddenly agree now?

and……

The assistant frowned and asked, "But Commander, we are not short of manpower, and there are a large number of people in the North. If they suddenly mutinied, it would be a small trouble. And we don't have extra housing for them."

"..."

Orange looked at her quietly and said calmly: "I believe you will find a way to solve it."

Her expression was intimidating without her being angry. Although Orange had never experienced a proper battle, she was in command of tens of thousands of people. If she did not have some means and abilities, then her title of commander would be just a title.

As time goes by, some hidden characteristics of Orange gradually emerge.

In the assistant's sight, Orange's figure vaguely turned into those superiors who had been in power for many years and whom she had seen before. Their figures kept changing, and the one who finally appeared in her eyes was Emperor Xu Tianran!

The next moment, the fantasy suddenly shattered!

"hiss!"

The assistant was shocked and woke up from her fantasy in an instant. She looked at Ju Zi with more respect. She said respectfully, "Yes, I will do it now."

Orange noticed the assistant's emotional change in just a few seconds, but she didn't care and just nodded slightly.

Soon her order spread throughout the entire mobile city, and everyone began to carry it out. The process was orderly, and tens of thousands of people from the North were happily broken up into pieces and then redistributed.

Those reformed soldiers did not express any doubts and did not seem to worry that the addition of such a large number of people would affect their living environment.

Amid the confusion of the people of the North and the indifference of the Sun and Moon soldiers, the Iron City retracted its tripods rooted in the ground, extended its gigantic mechanical rollers, and the central energy tower began to operate at full capacity, driving the entire city to move horizontally!
The earth was shaking. The wind and snow could not stop the giant steel beast. The snow on the distant mountains was frightened by the terror and then collapsed down!

"Boom!"

Countless young creatures lost their lives in the avalanche, but this was insignificant compared to the moving city.

He continued to move forward along the originally planned route, and any destruction caused during the process was accidental and had nothing to do with him.

Orange walked out of the energy tower in military uniform, and the freezing cold wind and snow blowing on her face seemed like a little frost.

Suddenly, her beautiful eyes caught a glimpse of a dark shadow that seemed to flash by in the snow and wind in the dark sky. Her expression suddenly stiffened slightly and she gave a decisive order.

"The entire army is on alert!"

Just after this shout was made, an even louder eagle cry appeared in the sky.

"Wow!"

A snow sculpture soul beast with a wingspan of dozens of meters suddenly swooped down from the sky, grabbed two soldiers with its sharp eagle claws, and then flew into the sky again, playing with the two people in the air. Then, with a force, a few bright red blood flowers appeared in the snow.

However, before the Snow Sculpture Soul Beast could feel proud, a sense of crisis suddenly arose in its heart, and then scorching flames erupted from between its claws!
"boom!"

A huge explosion occurred in the dark sky, and the ten thousand year old snow sculpture soul beast died so hastily, and even the cause of death was unknown until the moment of death.

It was also because of the bright flame produced by the explosion that Orange saw some things clearly.

Countless flying soul beasts circled in the sky, forming a huge vortex, and every beast's eyes were staring coldly at the moving city below!
At this moment, endless roars of beasts erupted outside the city, and the figures of soul beasts appeared one after another in the wind and snow!
"Boom-boom-"

A huge roar came into Orange's ears, and she saw dozens of figures nearly a hundred meters tall on the mountain not far away, carrying huge snowballs and staring at this side closely.

Orange's expression changed and he yelled, "Activate the emergency brake!"

"Rumble--"

"Roar!"

The moving city roared again, and at the same time, all the beasts also let out earth-shaking roars!

It seems that the first battle between mankind and nature is about to begin here!
