The stone bear and his party did not return along the same way they came, but moved eastward near the South Bank of Lake Superior.
After all, all around Lake Superior is the home of the chipewa. When the chipewa were eliminated, the first division and most of the pro guards marched from west to east along the shore of the lake. Therefore, these chipewa tribes scattered along the coast of Lake Superior became one supply point after another on the way of the fierce bear army.
There is a road between the tribes of these qipewa people. Although the snow buried the original road, under the guidance of the qipewa guide who is familiar with the local situation, the stone bears did not go the wrong way.
From the west end of Lake Superior, the former king's Court of the qipewa people, to the east end of Lake Superior, the distance is more than 600 kilometers. Because they are walking along the shore of the lake, even in the right place or even on the frozen lake, the actual distance is far more than 600 kilometers.
Even in summer, it takes at least half a month to take such a long route. Now it is the coldest time of the year. The road is blocked by heavy snow. Even if there are dogs pulling ploughs and reindeer, it takes more than 40 days for the stone bear to complete the journey.
Fortunately, more than 100 people have enough supplies, and there are enough prey in the jungle and the lake, so that they will not be hungry. But when the stone bear and their party arrived at Sue St. Mary at the east end of the great lake, all of them lost a lap.
Along the way, they passed through four relay stations. To the satisfaction of stone bear, although the soldiers in these relay stations were very lonely and bored, they still had a good life. Except for their mental outlook, they were also good in other aspects of their bodies.
Of course, along the way, Shi Xiong also instilled all kinds of soul chicken soup into the soldiers of these relay stations. Sure enough, he praised these young men one by one, which was not like drinking chicken soup, but more like beating chicken blood
The son of God, the great prophet and the greatest chieftain in the history of the tribe came to show solicitude and solicitude in person. How can these soldiers not be so excited? You know, they joined the fierce bear army in the first place to fight for their boss.
Now the legend of the boss came, but also self-supporting, they sent a variety of materials, and even taught them to play poker and mahjong... Such a boss, absolutely worth their own death!
In fact, along the way, in addition to the soldiers of the four relay stations, Shi Xiong also visited and expressed his sympathy to the soldiers who stuck to each stronghold on the road.
These strongholds are inhabited by people. They used to be tribes of the chipewa people. Later, after the stormy bear army conquered these tribes, they gathered the people of these tribes and then disrupted them. They were sent to the south by various means, and a large number of people were transported from the south to fill these tribes. Therefore, there are many people living in these tribes and the strongholds of the stormy bear army.
Because of the large number of people, the stormy bear soldiers stationed in these strongholds did not have a hard time. The integration of the previous four years has now played a huge role. The Indians of other tribes who have been integrated into the tribe are now able to cooperate well with the bear soldiers.
These people have excellent hunting skills, and the soldiers of the bear army have advanced weapons, so even if it's cold here, they can find enough food to eat.
Although it is still difficult, the spirits of the people in these strongholds and the soldiers of the bear army are very good.
Because they all know that once spring comes, they can plant a lot of food in this fertile land. When next winter comes, it will not be such a hard state any more, but will become a paradise.
Along the way, scattered strongholds are like a string of pearls along the South Bank of the great lake.
Stone bear knows that with the retirement of time, these strongholds will have great changes. By then, it will become one of the best areas for the tribe and Empire.
The Great Lakes region is one of the best regions in America. Stone bear is also confident of building a better area.
When March is approaching, the cold wind from the north is no longer so cold and piercing. The stone bear and their party finally made a hard journey. After more than 800 kilometers, they arrived at the later Susheng Mary, the place where Lake Superior meets Lake Huron.
The division headquarters of the first division of the bear army are stationed here. Kuaima and most of the high-level officers of the first division are concentrated here.
It was also the most prosperous place for the chipewa people before except the royal court. After all, it is from this area that the qipewa people rose. Hundreds of years ago, this place has always been the seat of the qipewa people's court.
Last year, after the blitzkrieg won the king's Court of the qipewa people, the first division had 3000 Pro guards. Under the leadership of Kuaima, they continued to attack eastward along the north and south sides of the great lake, and finally converged from Su Sheng Marie at the east end of the great lake before winter.
Later, in order to prevent the attacks of the Hurons and Iroquois, the first division, together with other stormy bear soldiers who beat down the Chinese of Ottawa and Miami, built the defense line of Su St. Mary, Detroit and Cleveland.
In this long line of defense, which is more than 600 kilometers long, there are 40 regiments of the fierce bear army, with a total of 40000 people stationed here. This line of defense is not only a line of defense, but also a forward base to attack the Hurons and Iroquois next year.
Stone bear and his party finally arrived at the northernmost part of the line of defense.
Here, Lake Superior and Lake Huron are connected by a wide natural waterway. Of course, there is no sushengmali canal built here, and there is no lock for ships to pass through this waterway smoothly between the two great lakes. At this time, the conditions of this natural waterway are still relatively poor.
After all, there is a drop of more than six meters between Lake Superior and Lake Huron. The huge amount of water between the two lakes makes the water flow in this waterway very fast.
But now, the waterway has been blocked by ice, which is more than half a meter thick, and people can freely pass through the ice to and from both sides of the river.
Of course, if you look to the east from the top of the highest hill here, you can also see maniturin Island, the world's largest island in the Lake Huron, more than 100 kilometers away.
After arduous trekking, the stone bear and his party completed the journey of more than 800 kilometers in the coldest season. This is certainly a great feat, but the arrival of the stone bear also brought infinite enthusiasm and confidence to the soldiers of the fierce bear army stationed here.
Of course, along the way, the stone bear also realized the importance of transportation.
Now the construction of cement road from Shangjing to Monongahela has begun in the south, and the road from Shangjing to several other important gathering places has also entered the construction plan. Now, stone bear has a plan to build a Northern Highway
