There were no unexpected gains from this tour, nor can it be said to be disappointing.
After all, Sean did not control the Thunder Golden Eagle to wander around here, and most of the situation was well known.
Compared with the Andes crater, the Andes Eastern Range has not so great undulations. There are neither high scary mountains nor insurmountable deep ravines.
There are some places that may not be suitable for large-scale marches, but for Sean and his party, there are roads everywhere, and there is no way to go easily.
The lifestyle of the Cliff Clan is mainly gathering and hunting, and some scattered farming is also part of spreading seeds over the mountains and plains. In the end, how much it can harvest depends on God's pattern.
Generally speaking, it is still in a primitive ecological state.
Yongyejun led the development here, basically starting from scratch.
Sean is used to this situation. According to Yongye’s standard, let alone the original home of the Cliff clan, even the prosperous Asia Minor Plain is at the early stage of development. The most luxurious road is nothing more than Township level.
Had it not been for the convenience of the Jacob River, the development of commerce and industry and commerce led by Yongyejun would never have been so rapid.
But when it comes to Andis Dongluan, it is not so convenient.
If you want to develop, the first thing is to invest a lot of money to build a road directly through the Kentana Icefield.
If you want to develop, build the road first.
This is already one of the core development concepts of Yongye Army Leader.
Only when the road is open, the special products can be transported out in a more convenient way.
Only when the road is open can a large amount of manpower and material resources be transported in.
According to Yongyejun's current development plan, the development of Andis Dongluan should be the last one, and it is impossible to mobilize a large amount of manpower and material resources in a short time.
In the next few years, or even more than ten years, it is estimated that this place will be deserted. As a reserved hunting area, the main energy of the Yongye Army leader during this period will be concentrated on the Donau Plain.
They don’t have so many people to cultivate the fertile fertile fields, so where is there any time to take care of the mountains?
It is estimated that the same situation was in the ancient Andes Empire.
Before you know it, the mountains are getting lower and lower, and what you step on is a piece of hard soil-frozen grassland.
Strictly speaking, the permafrost grassland is also part of the Andes Mountains, because the average elevation here is still four to five hundred meters higher than the Odin Prairie.
The northern half of the Kentana Ice Sheet is a large solid iceberg, underneath the snow that does not melt all the year round, it is full of ice.
The most intuitive feeling here is the cold, not only the air is cold, but even the earth exudes a biting chill, and the sun emits cold light.
"The temperature difference is big enough. I already feel the spring in the mountains. Why is it still cold here?" Marshal Tagore, who walked here for the first time, couldn't help rubbing his cold face. Did not fully adapt to this severe cold.
"Welcome to Kentana." General Cologne grinned, "Where is this and where? You have never seen a death ice storm on an ice field. It lasts for three days and three nights, not to mention people, many thin Klei beasts can't survive. In that situation, you don't want to sleep peacefully."
"Why?" Marshal Tagore asked curiously.
"Because every once in a while you have to get up to clear the snow, otherwise you will be under the heavy snow and can't climb out anymore." General Cologne laughed.
"The snow that flooded the Kentana? Is it such an exaggeration?" Marshal Tagore opened his mouth wide.
"When you have a chance to see it in the future, you will know that what I described is less than one-tenth of its true power." General Cologne looked serious, not like a joke at all.
"You don't have to wait, in another half day, you will have the opportunity to see the unique weather in Kentana. The blizzard is coming." General Zu Yuan strode back and said, just now it was his turn to act as an outpost to take people to check the situation ahead.
"Ah? Do you need to retreat to the mountains for a while?" Marshal Tagore asked hurriedly.
"It's not necessary, it's just a normal blizzard. It will pass after a while. The blizzard that General Cologne just said is rare in decades. If every blizzard was so terrifying, we Kentana would have long been extinct. Now." General Zu Yuan said with a smile.
"You want me to be deliberately ashamed!" Marshal Tagore gave General Cologne angrily. Those simple-looking people made fun of people, making it harder to guard against.
"Let us feel the enthusiasm of the Kentana Icefield. It happens that we also take the opportunity to plan the next itinerary. After you arrange it, come directly to my camp." Sean gave Cologne the matter of camping. General and General Zu Yuan.
The Kentana barbarians led by them are all masters of survival in this extreme environment. They have already formed a set of methods to deal with this extreme environment, and he does not need to worry about them.
Sure enough, in less than an hour, they gathered all the Kolei beasts to form an array of Kolei beasts and tents intersecting each other to withstand the coming blizzard.
The benefits of doing so are obvious. The Kolymon can help the tent withstand part of the storm and prevent the tent from being lifted.
The relatively tall tents can also share part of their pressure and help them keep warm.
Although these Kolei beasts have not set foot on the Kentana Ice Sheet since the day they were born, they clearly felt something. They obeyed the arrangement extremely docilely, as if they had been drilled countless times, everything seemed to be engraved in their genes.
They only set up the camp on the front foot, and the blizzard arrived on the back foot.
Dark clouds cover the top, completely shielding the sun, which does not feel like it can provide much heat.
The cold wind is cold and violent, and there are fine ice particles like sand in it. If you are in it, it is like someone holding an invisible sandpaper and rubbing it on your face.
It didn't take long for the fine ice particles to turn into large snowflakes, falling one after another. Before the ground was covered, they were taken away by the gale.
However, it didn't take long for the goose feathers to fall under the heavy snow. It didn't take long for the entire envoy camp to be covered with a thick layer of snow. The Kelei beasts lay motionless there, letting the snow cover their bodies.
Only the big mouth that kept chewing proved that they were alive.
Like a cow, the Kolymon is also a ruminant. His stomach is bigger and more than that of a bull. It occupies half of their huge body. Just like a bottomless pit, they will desperately go to their own. With stuff in their stomachs, they can even hoard part of their food in their bodies like hamsters.
This is a function evolved purely to cope with the extreme shortage of food.
The bonfire in the camp had already risen, and there was a big pot on it, and a pot full of food was stewed.
Not only meat, but also fish, frozen tofu, bean sprouts, vermicelli, and dried fungus mushrooms, etc., there are some foods that are easy to store and carry.
Xiao En busily threw in the condiments such as green onion and coriander, and smiled and said: "This kind of weather is most suitable for sitting on a hot kang and listening to the sound of wind and snow outside, drinking spirits, and eating this cauldron stew. There is no kang tou, but there is no problem with the bonfire. The fire is almost ready and the chopsticks can be moved. Before that, the wine must be full."
"Do you still use Lord Lord to say that?" Marshal Tagore raised the full glass in his hand, sucking in his mouth, "I'm waiting for Lord Lord's food and wine."
"That's good. Before serving, you have to go first. Come, I will do it first." Xiao En raised his head and drank his cup first.
The sudden blizzard made him excited and set up the wine board.
"Fresh! Lord Zuling is worthy of being Lord Zuling. I like this kind of boldness." Zu Yuan laughed and followed up, raising his head and doing his own work, barking his teeth and grinning, "Good wine Enough!"
"Come, come, come!"
"Done it, did it, did it!"
There was no stage fright in this aspect, and they all just raised their heads.
"Eating dishes, eating dishes, tasting my craft, I haven't done it for a while, I don't know if the craft has regressed."
"Well, it's delicious, delicious, I have never eaten such delicious food, not only the meat and vegetables are full of flavor, but even the soup is so delicious."
"Unexpectedly, Lord Ancestral Spirit still has this hand. It is our greatest honor to be able to eat the food made by Lord Ancestral Spirit himself."
"Lord Lord's craftsmanship is as exquisite as ever, and it is better to show less in the future. If we taste more Lord's craftsmanship, how can we eat the food in the army in the future?"
"Haha... exquisiteness has exquisite enjoyment. Cauldron has the benefit of cauldron. After you are hungry for two days, do you have the time to say this?"
"Come, come, one more bite."
A group of eight champion knights gathered around the cauldron for a while, all with multi-tasking functions, while talking and laughing, the tableware never stopped.
For them, this big pot of stew is just an appetizer, and one person can see the bottom without a few chopsticks.
Xiao En had already prepared for this. The big pot of stew turned into a big pot of hot pot, with the soup base, and various pieces of meat and vegetables that had been prepared were poured into it.
One person drank a catty of spirits, and the conversation became stronger, and the relationship between the two parties became closer. General Zu Yuan untied his armor, shirtless, and sang the songs unique to the Kentana barbarians, if it weren’t for the venue. No, it is estimated that there is a possibility of a Kentana barbarian war dance.
As the saying goes, art knows no boundaries or races.
Regardless of General Zuyuan's five big and three thick, thick body hair, just like a human-shaped bear, but has a good artistic cell, the Kentana barbarian songs are very flavorful, fully expressing the unique roughness and boldness of the barbarians.
Even if the language is not clear, the rough and textured voice can be introduced into the unique picture of the Kentana barbarian fighting with the sky, fighting with the earth, and fighting with nature to survive.
Not only did Sean and the people in the tent knock on the tool in his hand and made a sound echoing, but also from the other camps there were songs of Yinghe, which forcibly covered the blizzards of the Kentana Icefield.
In the position of Sean, eating and drinking are often purposeful.
For the past year, he has been squatting in the mage tower, creating so many incredible things, but also not eating the fireworks in the world, not a little sign of deification, but has been deified, especially in the minds of the Kentana barbarian, he is high above Incarnation of the giant ancestor spirit.
Being high above, of course, there are advantages of high above.
But in terms of feelings, it is always too distant.
As a lord, you don't have to mingle with the people below, but it is also a good choice to get closer to the relationship and feelings occasionally, otherwise, if you continue, he will really become a lonely person and be enshrined as a god.
Pleasure is only temporary, and the topic finally turned to this purpose.
As for the impact of drinking on them, it is not particularly great. With their physical fitness to their level, it is a bit difficult for them to imagine that they are drunk like ordinary people. No matter how much they drink, they will remain drunk. Drink it, even if the body function is damaged, it will not continue to increase drunkenness.
Because after being stimulated by alcohol, their body's metabolism speeds up involuntarily, and they quickly decompose ethanol and ether which have side effects on the body and get rid of them.
It's like their body's resistance to poison and wound healing are better than ordinary people.
This is the characteristic that appears after the body has been tempered to a certain degree.
This is more evident in the bodies of the Grand Knights and Champion Knights led by the Yongye Army, because their ultimate combat skills make their bodies no longer pure, and a lot of magical energy is incorporated into their bodies.
Fundamentally speaking, they follow the same path as Sean, and they are all taking the body into a symbolic culture.
The only difference is that Sean knows what he does and works hard in this direction.
These champion knights are completely passive. They still exercise as before, allowing the magical energy to subtly change their bodies.
There is also an unexpected benefit here, that is, breaking the upper limit of human body quality.
In theory, with the help of magical energy, their physical fitness can continuously improve.
After all, what originally limited the upper limit of the human body was the power transformation system. Once it was raised to a certain level, it couldn't be improved anymore. With the intervention of magical energy, this was clearly broken.
In the end, how far they can go, even Sean, the initiator, doesn't know. After all, they don't have any information to learn from, so they can only move forward.
"I think the primary goal of our trip is to hunt the tribe." General Cologne took the initiative to confide his thoughts.
Since the two Kentana barbarian tribes were temporarily united, they didn't even have a serious name, the Yongye Army leader now refers to them as their main components, which is easy to understand.
"Oh? Is there a reason? Let's listen in detail." Sean asked curiously~EbookFREE.me~ Regarding the first-going envoy safari tribe or the sea hunting tribe, the senior officials of Yongye Army Leader had had it before the trip. The discussion is only limited by the relatively limited information they have, and this matter is somewhat inconsistent.
Because the difference does not seem to be too great, and once you enter the frozen grassland, the variables will rise sharply. Finding the tribe of the Kentana barbarian has become their top priority.
Decided to act according to the timing, it is impossible to find which tribe first, which tribe will be the first target.
Now General Cologne can be considered an old thing to mention again. During the previous discussion, these Kentana barbarian generals listened most of the time, and it was the first time that they offered their opinions.
"One is that the scale of safari is larger, and the population is more than three times that of the sea hunting tribe. The larger population means that their food gap is bigger. The current situation is worse. They are more eager to find a way out. I am afraid that we If they are late, they will be unable to bear it, go south first, and launch an offensive against the military leaders. Once the war is dragged into the war, the difficulty of a peaceful settlement will be greatly increased." General Cologne analyzed clearly.
"It makes sense." Xiao En's eyes lit up and he nodded in agreement, "How about this second?"
