i have a super island

Chapter 1098 Ice and Fire

Behind the walls is a small town that grew out of a military fort.

This small town is small, with only a blacksmith shop, a military supply office, a temple dedicated to the God of Amon, and scattered barracks for soldiers to rest.

There is almost no business here, and there are no personnel other than the army. The streets are usually deserted. Occasionally, some local tribes come here to exchange their specialties and the guards here for something.

Due to the steep and rugged location of the northern border, there is no land for farming, so the soldiers here cannot be self-sufficient, and all consumption comes from Nile's supplies.The soldiers' rations, military pay, armor, weapons, and clothes were all transported from the distant Nile. It was really helpless to rely on transportation for everything, which also doomed the northern border's dependence on the Nile authorities.

"Can those barbarians outside the Great Wall be difficult to deal with?"

Cynthia looked at the frozen mountains to the north of the city wall, and as far as she could see, she could only see a few tents scattered in the heavy snow. It seemed that they were just some scattered natives, so people would not think how difficult they were. Entangled.

Art denied Cynthia's opinion with a serious tone, "They are terrifying."

As a newcomer to the northern border, Cynthia had never seen the scenes of those barbarians attacking the city, so she took it for granted that the barbarians were not a big problem.If she had seen savages as dense as ants rushing towards the city wall, she would not have asked such an innocent question.

The word "terror" in Art's mouth is quite accurate. These barbarians are fierce, ferocious, and more importantly, they are huge in number, causing a huge impact on the city wall every winter.

Affected by the cold region in the north, if the cold current is strong that year, the scale of the southward invasion will also expand.

So Art doesn't seem to like the heavy snow, because the colder the weather means the larger the scale of the future war.

"That sounds a bit bad."

Cynthia sighed, although such a beautiful snow scene has become a warning that the war is coming.

Art said helplessly: "This is not the worst."

"Is there anything worse than this?"

"This year's supply has given problems. The coal used for heating is only [-]% of that of previous years, but it is such a cold winter." Speaking of this, Art's meaning is very clear. There is another problem with the supplies on the side. It seems that this winter is bound to be difficult.

Cynthia asked, "Why is there less coal than usual?"

Art shook his head and shrugged his shoulders, revealing his deep disappointment, "Although you have not been involved in government affairs in Nile these years, you should have an understanding of Nile's environment. This is not the first time that frontline supplies have been withheld. I'm used to it by now."

While speaking, a group of warriors wearing white cloaks came to the gate of the city, and behind them were dragging a few wooden carts, which were full of felled trees.

The soldiers on the city wall rushed down and asked, "How is the situation?"

The other side replied: "Everything went well, and no barbarians were encountered."

The two sides exchanged a password, and then the soldiers above lifted the city gate and let the team enter the city.

Looking at the team entering the city, Art said to Cynthia: "Coal is in short supply, so there is no other way but to let these soldiers go out and chop some wood for heating." Those who fought on the battlefield, but at this moment they can only be allowed to act as woodcutters and start felling.

Those who have never experienced severe winters will not understand that the winter in the northern region is no joke. If there is not enough coal for heating, people will really freeze to death.

Cynthia suddenly came up with a rebellious idea that she had never had before. She wanted to question her second brother, is such Nero really worth your swearing to protect?But rationality made her hold back these words. She knew how her second brother was, and she didn't want to make him unhappy.

The snowstorm is still continuing, the temperature has dropped even lower, and the severe winter in the northern border has just begun. Above the northern sky, layers of black clouds are getting thicker and thicker, casting a thick layer of clouds on the future of the northern border. shadow.

……

Waterrace City, the house of merchant Elle.

A sudden fire destroyed this place once, and the fire spread, and burned towards the houses next to it by the wind.

The Niro soldiers who came from all the streets immediately threw themselves into the tense firefighting.

Everyone was scrambling to put out the fire, only to see a figure on fire suddenly rushing out of the fire.

The blue robe on this man's body had been burned, and his hair was also scorched. He howled in pain as he ran wildly, and the terrified soldiers soon recognized that the owner of the voice was their commander, Tuttle.

The soldiers rushed up to extinguish the flames on Tuttle's body. At this time, this vicious and ferocious guy had been burned beyond recognition by the fire.

Everyone thought that he had been buried in the sea of ​​flames, but they didn't expect that he miraculously rushed out of the fire.

"Arrest all the members of the Waterles Chamber of Commerce!"

This was the last sentence Tuttle said before he passed out. This man is indeed a different kind. Others must have gone blank after being burned by the fire, and the first thing he thought of after escaping from the fire was Capture all members of the Chamber of Commerce.

So this is the uniqueness of Tuttle. He can become the chief of the secret service by not just flattering people. This cruel and vicious man has a psychological quality beyond ordinary people. followed by a series of actions.This Elle belongs to the Waterles Chamber of Commerce, and he was able to do such a thing, which shows that the entire Chamber of Commerce must have an inexhaustible relationship.

The wind was strong and the fire was spreading. Although the soldiers tried hard to put out the fire, they still couldn't stop the fire from spreading in the city.

While the fire was raging, the soldiers who had received Tuttle's order sprang into action and began to arrest all the members of the Chamber of Commerce in the city.

The already chaotic city of Waterles is now even more chaotic. There are Nero soldiers arresting people everywhere, and there are city residents in a panic everywhere. There are cries, screams, and roars one after another. .

If the city of Waterles is a firecracker, then these Niloticians are the spark that ignites the fuse of the firecracker.

Because of these guys' misbehavior, Waterless City fell into a sea of ​​flames.

At this time, in the port, Fang Fang stood by the side of the ship, watching everything that happened in the city with cold eyes. The more those Niloticians disturbed the situation in the city, the more beneficial it was for Fang Fang.
