Chapter 734 The Land of Fire on the Ice Plane
【Segranrest】plane, also known as the ice plane in the mouths of players, is about 1/3 the size of the main plane.
The rulers of the ice plane, like the main plane, are all human.
A long time ago, there were no humans on the Ice Plane, only some indigenous wild animals, somewhat similar to the dinosaur era of Blue Star.
Later, the great power of the main plane who was good at interstellar shuttle in ancient times discovered this plane before Bard, and with the mentality of not wasting, forcibly transported a group of "ancestors" to live in this plane.
The "ancestors" spent scattered leaves on the ice plane, and gradually became the masters of this plane with their wisdom far beyond wild animals.
Although 1/5 of the Ice Plane is covered with ice and snow and is extremely cold, there are still many areas with warm climates and abundant rainfall near the equator.
Humans on the Ice Plane also mainly live in these areas, competing with other animals for living space and territory.
…
The largest human country on this plane is called the [Fire Country], which is located near the equator and has an area about a quarter of the Gorse Empire.
The reason why it is called the "Land of Fire" is because the citizens of this country have a fanatical and paranoid worship of flames, and believe that "fire" is the cornerstone of human survival against the cold winter.
"Fire" is also the totem of faith for everyone in this country.
However, for now, this "Land of Fire" is not very peaceful in the country.
In the eastern part of the Fire Nation, a massive peasant uprising is beginning.
The reason why the peasant uprising happened is essentially similar to the cause of the peasant uprising on the Blue Star - the ruling clique is tyrannical and greedy, the fruits of ordinary peasants' labor are robbed, they live under high pressure, and they work hard for a year to even support themselves with the food they harvest. All barely.
At this time, as long as there is a major disaster or a food shortage, the originally overwhelmed social system will collapse in an instant.
The peasants have no food to eat, so they can only walk out of the house with weapons (farm implements), and I will rob whoever has food.
Thus began a peasant uprising.
…
There is a medium-sized city in the middle of the country of fire called 【Shiroishi Castle】.
Shiraishi Castle has just experienced the war brought by the peasant uprising.
Now the gates of Baishicheng are open, and there are countless corpses outside and under the city walls, blood flowing into rivers.
The interior of the city is filled with the sound of burning, looting and looting, as well as the cry of women.
Quite a few houses were burnt to ashes in the raging fire.
The peasant rebels in garish garb are celebrating their victory on the streets of the city.
They held bright weapons in their right hands, and the “loot” they had snatched from the residents of the city in their left.
And they don't care about the life and death of the residents in the city. As soon as they see something good, they rush to grab it, and when they see a beautiful woman, they immediately go after them.
The peasants rebelled against exploitation at the beginning of the uprising, and it was a just cause.
But gradually, they lost themselves in the gold and silver treasures they robbed, and aimed their butcher knives at the commoners like them, and the dragon slayers gradually turned into evil dragons.
…
In a luxurious mansion in the center of White Rock City, the leader of the peasant rebel army, Duke Glenn Fire, sat on the main seat of the main hall, frowning.
There were also six confidant generals standing under the main seat, and their faces were not very good-looking at this time.
The Blue Stars will be very strange if they see this scene - Duke Glenn is obviously a duke, why did he become the leader of the peasant rebel army? Shouldn't the peasant rebels rebel against the aristocrats who oppressed the peasants?
However, the fact is that the situation of the Land of Fire cannot be used to set the situation of the Blue Star.
In Bluestar, the gap between people is very small, even a beggar like Zhu Yuanzhang has a chance to be the emperor;
But on the ice plane, it's a high martial plane.
There is a huge gap in human strength on the Gaowu plane. Even if 100,000 ordinary people hold bows and arrows, they can’t beat a fifth-order powerhouse who can fly.
There is no point in having too many people.
In this case, if an uprising wants to win, it must have the support of high-ranking powerhouses.
Duke Grant, as a prince with a huge private army and an ambitious party, has long wanted to replace the emperor.
After the peasant uprising vigorously unfolded, he actively contacted the leaders of the peasant uprising army and used coercion and inducement to accept them as dogs.
And he actively promoted himself among the peasants, gave the peasants favorable conditions, and led the peasant rebel army to attack the emperor's direct territory.
…
Everything was going very smoothly. Duke Glenn easily conquered half of the country, and he was about to attack the imperial city to unify the country.
But just after he took the White Rock City, a huge problem was placed in front of him, and this problem was - their food was running out, and the cold winter was coming soon.
…
Duke Grant looked at the few confidants under his seat, and among them was the army's logistics chief [Hunter].
"Hunter." Duke Grant looked at him: "How much food do we have?"
"Go back to the Duke." Hunter knelt down on one knee and replied respectfully, "All our food is enough for the kinship army and the peasant rebel army for 40 days.
If we save a little to eat and consume at a minimum, we can only last for a month and a half at most. "
"A month and a half?" Duke Glenn's brows furrowed even deeper.
In the entire ice plane, "food" has always been a scarce resource. Halfway through the war, it was almost winter, and the scarcity of food resources became more obvious.
"Herman, what's the harvest in the granary of White Rock City?" Duke Grant looked at one of his generals.
"I'm sorry, Lord Duke." General Herman knelt down on one knee with a pale face:
"The Sanger family in White Rock City and we were originally feuds. When their family was destroyed, the granary in White Rock City was burned down by them, and now there is nothing left."
"It's all burned?!" Duke Glenn lost his voice, and his face instantly turned extremely pale.
Originally, he was hoping to capture Shiroishi Castle, so he could breathe a sigh of relief for the troops who lacked food.
But I didn't expect that the breath didn't slow down at all, and it even made them almost "hypoxic"!
"Everyone, the situation is very serious now." Duke Glenn looked at the generals below with a serious look: "It won't be long before the four-month 'extreme winter' comes, and we haven't stored enough food.
If we can't solve the food problem within half a month, this peasant uprising is likely to fail! "
Winters on the Ice Plane are much scarier than those on the Prime and Bluestar.
At that time, there will be low temperatures of minus 30 to 40 degrees, and heavy snow that is waist-deep, even in the relatively warm country of fire.
There is no way to fight in this kind of bad weather. We can only store food in advance and find a way to spend the winter, and then fight when the snow melts in spring.
And now they don't have much food left, I'm afraid it will be difficult to spend this winter!
