Realm of Power

The northernmost part of the northern grassland and the edge of the cold land are represented by earth forests.

On July 21st, Baiku Jaye arrived at Daitulin to represent Juxiong Mountain at a meeting held in Daitulin. The heat of July could hardly be felt in this area of ​​the northern grassland close to the cold land. On the contrary, the cold wind howling from the north caused large amounts of snowflakes to drift here in July.

The giant bear mountain Bai Kujaye, who was dressed in military armor, got off his horse. The cold wind blew the robe on Bai Kujaye's body like a flag. He didn't even have time to wipe his face with the towel handed by the servant next to him. I hurriedly stepped onto the white steps of the meeting hall in the center of Daitulin. Coldland guards wearing heavy clothes stood on both sides of the steps holding long-handled battle axes. They were covered by the wind and snow like snowmen.

“It’s a bit colder today”

Such a hot and cold situation made Baiku Jaye frown and clenched his fingers into fists.

Time waits for no one. Is the situation in the north already so bad? After the large area of ​​​​hail in the front, snow is now falling in July, which seems to confirm the statement that if you do not go south, you will suffer disaster in the cold area. Such changes make Baikujia Ye Du felt a little shuddering

Winter is coming

In cold areas, July is the last warm month before winter. It is like an invisible whip, urging people from cold areas to go south, urging them to find a safe land where they can survive the cruel winter in the future. However, the war going south, Already losing energy day by day

During the battle at the mouth of Yawu Valley, the most valiant Giant Bear Mountain chose to evacuate. The resulting series of reactions was that the Coldlanders completely evacuated from the central part of the North Grassland, while the other powerful force, the God's Tomb Alliance, suffered more losses, not only The most elite troops have been lost, and there are still more than 20,000 prisoners. In the hands of King Yelu Ting, the strong soldiers and horses of King Yelu Ting broke through the mouth of Yawu Valley and pressed forward. The cold army retreated step by step. The 80,000 imperial cavalry with superb combat power followed closely behind King Yelu Ting's army, which was like a mountain of cold soldiers. The local tribesmen did not dare to raise their heads. At this time, who would clamor to go south? It is already difficult for the Yelu Imperial Court to compete, and coupled with the more powerful empire, if it were not for the severe climate change in the cold land, which has endangered the survival of the people in the cold land, who would be willing to leave that seemingly harsh land, but in fact it is cold land. The area where the locals have the best protection comes to this northern grassland where there are many powerful enemies!

"Sir, you are finally here."

A cold nobleman wearing a red fox fur hat walked back and forth at the top of the steps, looking very anxious. When he saw Baiku Jaye appearing, he hurried over as if he saw a life-saving straw and whispered, "The whole meeting hall is in chaos. The Yelu Royal Court suddenly proposed truce negotiations, claiming that as long as we cold people no longer go south and are willing to return the pastures we occupy, the Yelu Royal Court will allow us to settle in the northern part of the North Grassland and will not expel us. Now the entire council is in a quarrel. , “What does the Tomb of Gods Alliance say? Baiku Jaye walked into the door opened in front and asked in a low voice. The light from the lit braziers on both sides of the corridor inside shone on him, dragging out a long shadow.

"The Tomb of Gods Alliance has not made a decision yet, but I heard that more than half of the Presbyterian Council firmly disagreed." The noble followed closely behind and whispered.

"So, the Tomb of Gods Alliance doesn't even want more than 20,000 of its own warriors?"

Baiku Jaye stopped in the corridor, took a deep breath, and asked coldly, "You must know that the population of the entire cold area is hundreds of thousands. After excluding the old, weak, women and children, even ten men who can fight are Counting three-year-old children, there are definitely no more than 300,000, and more than 20,000 prisoners, that's one-tenth.

"The God's Tomb Alliance said that Yelu Royal Court is not the orthodox grassland. Unless the North Prairie Royal Court makes such a promise, it is meaningless." The noble said intermittently with an ugly face.

"It's true." After hearing this, Bai Kujiaye's face showed a solemn look, and he snorted heavily. The North King's Court is the orthodox North Grassland. It's really ridiculous. When did the Tomb of Gods Alliance care about the North Grassland? Who is orthodox? It is said that the Tomb of Gods Alliance and North Grassland may seem to be hostile, but in fact they have colluded together secretly. Although there is no evidence on the surface, I am afraid it is not as simple as groundless rumors.

He came to the door at the end of the corridor,

"Lord Baiku Jaye"

The two guards at the end of the corridor saluted respectfully and opened the door. The noisy noise suddenly came from the front hall. The chaos was like pouring into Baiku Jaye's ears. Someone inside could be heard saying that Yelu Royal Court was powerful in battle. Since Everyone is allowed to take refuge in the North Grassland. Even if they withdraw from those grasslands, it is not impossible. Some people say that everyone risked their lives to capture the grasslands. Is it possible that because of a word from King Yelu, he will spit out all the fat in his mouth? No! Some people also say that the Royal Court of Yelu is not orthodox in the North Grassland and there is no need to pay attention to it at all."

Baiku Jaye did not walk in immediately. Instead, he stood at the door and listened for a few minutes before walking into the hall. His appearance made more than ten cold tribe leaders look over.

"Lord Baiku Jaye!"

"As long as Lord Baiku Jaye is here, whether it is war or peace, I will listen to Lord Baiku Jaye."

The leaders of the various ministries saluted. As one of the two major forces in the cold region, Juxiong Mountain has been the mainstay of the cold region's native factions for more than a hundred years. These cold region native factions are the factions that have given great hope to this negotiation. They were just going south to seek refuge. Since the Yelu Court agreed to allow them to stay in Beicao, If they had originally settled down, they would no longer be willing to fight against the powerful King Yelu. And those who clamored the most for going south were not the people from the cold area in the traditional sense, but were defeated in various disputes on the grassland and fled to Most of the grassland people in the cold areas gathered under the Tomb of Gods Alliance.

"Oh, look who is here. The most powerful warrior in my cold land became a coward who escaped at the mouth of Yawu Valley. He sat and watched tens of thousands of people from our God's Tomb Alliance die or be captured. Lord Baiku Jaye doesn't think so. Should I give you an explanation?" A deep rag-like voice came, causing the temperature in the hall to drop a bit. At the opposite end, Hulikaya, the great elder of the Tomb of Gods Alliance, has a stern face and gray hair, but his thin body is still very straight, and a wisp of frightening determination pours out of his deep eyes. The god master of the Tomb Alliance rarely shows up. Generally, the affairs of the Tomb Alliance are presided over by the Great Elder Hulikaya.

It is said that this sneak attack strategy to circumvent the Empire's Onnatso was personally arranged by the great elder.

"In the Battle of Yawugukou, our army of 50,000 fought against the 200,000 soldiers of the Yelu Royal Court and the imperial coalition. We held out for two days and two nights. We thought we had done our best, unless Elder Hulikaya believed that our army of 50,000 could defeat us. The other party is 200,000, so I have nothing to say. On the contrary, as for the Tomb of Gods Alliance, there will be a large-scale attack at the entrance of Yawu Valley during the rainy season. Collapse, as a result, thousands of our soldiers were buried alive. The God's Tomb Alliance, which originally requested our army to defend the mouth of Yawu Valley, should give me an explanation." Bai Kujiaye had a disinterested sneer on his lips, and I also want to ask, why are the people here all from my tribe in Giant Bear Mountain, tribes under the Tomb of Gods Alliance? It would be fine if the others didn't come, but why didn't even Kakia from the Khan's tribe and Kusuo from the Succession Sal tribe come? "

The great elder Hulikaya snorted majestically, with a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. He did not seem to feel sad at all for the soldiers of the God's Tomb Alliance who died in the battle at Yawu Taniguchi. Instead, he looked calm and said, "I, the God's Tomb Alliance, It’s not your Giant Bear Mountain Generally conservative and sedentary, for more than a thousand years, we have not had the courage to truly take steps forward. We have the guidance of God, the most sacred guidance in the world, and we are united as one. What do we need such people to do? I am the tomb of God. One person from the Alliance is enough to represent everything.”

"In that case, let's get it straight. What is the Tomb of Gods Alliance's response to the armistice agreement at the Royal Court of Yelu?" Baiku Jaye's face flashed with a true look, and he asked in a calm tone.

"The King of Yelu is just an outsider, what qualifications do they have to represent the real Northern Grassland, so the so-called armistice agreement of the King of Yelu is just a joke. Do we, the Tomb of Gods Alliance, still need to reply to a joke?" Great Elder Hulikaya looked on. He gave a contemptuous look, waved his arms, and laughed heartily.

The God's Tomb Alliance has been living in the cold land for so many years and has gathered so many grassland forces. Isn't it just to conquer this dense grassland in the south one day, absorb the nomadic cavalry produced by this grassland, and promote the glory of God to all parts of the world? , although the losses at Yawu Taniguchi were very It is large, but the God's Tomb Alliance has also absorbed more than a dozen regional forces that have been oppressed by the Northern Grassland. In addition, it has a secret agreement with the Beiwangting. The two sides are bounded along the source of the Ganla River. The north belongs to the God's Tomb Alliance, and the south belongs to the Northern King. Naturally, it is impossible to sign an agreement with the King Yelu Court. Coming here to attend the meeting is just a formality. The Khan Yan tribe and the Sal tribe all fled from the northern grassland to the cold land due to rebellion fifty years ago. In the past fifty years, the two tribes have never forgotten to counterattack the northern grassland. It was thirty years ago. The backbone of the force that encouraged people from cold regions to move south on a large scale many years ago, although Although they were repulsed by the King of Dongting in the North Grassland, they have been stirring up trouble at the border of the Cold Land for decades. They are the two sharpest minions of the God's Tomb Alliance. They are currently following the guidance of the North King's Court to attack the two sides. How could a piece of extremely important pasture be suddenly withdrawn midway?

"In this case, we, Juxiong Mountain, can only choose to retreat to the border temporarily," Baiku Jaye said in a threatening tone.

"Haha, whatever, even if there is no Giant Bear Mountain, our God's Tomb Alliance can handle it enough." After expressing his attitude, Hulikaya left the meeting hall with a look of disdain. The moment he walked through the door, Hulikaya Turning his head, he said in a cold voice, "Giant Bear Mountain is already the base camp of the cowardly and cowardly. Who else is qualified to lead the banner of the cold people? If I were you, I would choose a good destination and not be led along by anyone." Even when it gets dark, I don’t even know”

"Asshole, what does this mean?" Baiku Jaye glared angrily.

"You're crazy, you must be crazy. The Tomb of Gods Alliance really thinks that you can fight against the Royal Court of Yelu." A group of tribal leaders who looked at each other looked at the gloomy Baiku Jaye. The Tomb of Gods Alliance's statement was very firm, and they They were all a bit confused. Not to mention them, even Baiku Jaye was caught off guard.

Originally, the God's Tomb Alliance would at least consider issuing a threat, but unexpectedly the other party directly rejected it.

"I want to see how your God's Tomb Alliance fights against Yelu Royal Court! Baiku Jaye punched the long table with an angry expression in front of the tribal leaders. The God's Tomb Alliance has made it clear that it wants to stop this A war with disparity in strength is no longer possible. Just thinking of Hulikaya's proud look when he left, Baiku Jaye couldn't help but feel an ominous feeling in his heart. What on earth did Hulikaya say? mean?

"No, something big has happened." Before everyone in the meeting hall could react, a guard captain stumbled in, his face extremely panicked.

"What's wrong?" Baiku Jaye asked

"I don't know who in the city has spread the news that my Lords at the Juxiong Mountain Council Hall are going to have peace talks with King Yelu. This matter has been spread throughout the streets and alleys. Now the crowd is excited, and many people have rushed to the Council Hall. "We were asked by Juxiong Mountain to give an explanation before," the guard captain said breathlessly. "The peace talks with King Yelu are the most confidential matter. No one knows about it except the leaders of the clans.

The cold wind was blowing. When he heard the news, Bai Kujiaye, who was standing in the hall, turned pale, and his fingers turned pale from excessive exertion. He finally knew why Hulikaya, the great elder of the Tomb of Gods Alliance, left so decisively, even like He is a winner, which is really insidious. If it weren't for the arrangement of the God's Tomb Alliance, how could he have just left? The news that Juxiong Mountain wanted to cease war with the Yelu family had already spread throughout Daitu Forest.

The power of this news is no less powerful than the cold wind coming from the north. No matter how the Giant Bear Mountain explains it, the reputation of the Giant Bear Mountain, which had just evacuated at the mouth of Yawu Valley, has dropped to the freezing point again.

In Guangping in front of the meeting hall, heavy snow was falling, but more and more people gathered. Some of them gathered here initially, and more people came to watch the excitement. But after hearing the whole story, the people who joined in started to gather. It's like a snowball getting bigger and bigger,

"Is this true? Giant Bear Mountain actually wants to surrender to the prairie people alone!" The cold people on the street were talking about it.

"The original Giant Bear Mountain, which was brave and fearless and protected the cold people like the God of War, has lost its former glory. This Giant Bear Mountain is not the Giant Bear Mountain in my mind." A Giant Bear Mountain warrior wearing leather armor said sadly. A badge of military merit worn on the lower wrist.

The banner of the Giant Bear Mountain is to seek refuge, while the banner of the Tomb of Gods Alliance is to seize the most fertile land in the world, so that the cold people can get rid of the harsh environment for thousands of years and truly become the masters of the sun. Compared with the two Now, the ambitious young people from the cold area obviously believe more in the Tomb of Gods Alliance. Now the news of the peace talks is more solid. Half of the young people from the cold area in Daitulin area have left in a few days.
