Chapter 460 Golden Armor of the North
Northern border, Bingling Palace.
The vast mountains are covered in boundless white. A staircase to the sky extends from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. The towering palace complex in the middle is looming in the wind and snow.
The cold wind is like a knife, and the falling snow is like an arrow.
A man in black armor walked down the stairs. With the friction of the heavy metal armor, his iron boots crushed the ice and snow on the ground.
“Click.”
A crisp sound in the wind and snow made the man in black armor stop and lower his eyes to look in the direction of the sound.
At his feet, a severed arm buried in ice and snow stood out.
The neat incisions and the frozen flesh showed that the owner of this arm had passed away for a long time.
After staring at the broken arm for a few breaths, Yuan Hao slowly raised his eyes to look at the Ice Spirit Palace below in the wind and snow.
Under the sky, there was wind and snow, and it was as quiet as night.
The once prosperous Qionglou Yuyu has been reduced to a torch in the flames of war, and the remaining ruins tell that a sect named Ice Spirit Palace once existed here.
Continuing to move upward, Yuan Hao saw more corpses.
Some corpses were scattered on both sides of the stairs like fragments, while some corpses were piled up like debris in front of the ruins of Yuyu, and then buried in the snow to form a huge grave.
It takes tens of hundreds of years to build such a sect's fairy palace, but it only takes one day to destroy it.
“Creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak”
The combat boots are stepping on the snow, and the footsteps are crisp.
From time to time, Yuan Hao saw at the end of the stairs the Ice Spirit Main Hall, which had collapsed into ruins, and the woman in golden armor sitting alone on a boulder in front of the ruins.
The woman is very beautiful, with phoenix eyes like the moon and a face like water.
On the mountaintop where the wind and snow were rolling, three thousand soft green hairs were splashed in the air at will, while the blood-stained armor and blade in her hands made her whole body carry countless fierce evil spirits.
As Yuan Hao arrived, the woman's knife-like gaze slowly fell on him.
With the sound of armor rubbing against each other, the heroic woman slowly stood up and looked at the black-scaled commander in front of her with a little tiredness:
“You are late.”
Yuan Hao bowed respectfully to the other party and replied with a smile:
“It is indeed too late. It must have been half a decade since His Highness Wu Yuan destroyed the Ice Spirit Palace, and all the luggage and finances inside have been accounted for.”
Hearing this, Li Qingyan stared at the other person for a few breaths, and his red lips slightly opened:
“Commander Yuan is here specifically to borrow supplies? I remember that your Black Scale Guards just massacred Luoxianmen not long ago, so there should be no shortage of supplies for the time being.”
Due to the horrific epidemic that almost swept through the three northern continents, official roads everywhere were blocked, and as a result, there were more or less problems with the logistical supplies of the various armies in the northern territory.
Not only the rations of the soldiers, but also the armor and siege equipment of the spiritual soldiers were in short supply.
If each army wants to continue to maintain its strongest combat power, it basically can only rely on fighting to support war.
certainly,
Armies that are closely related can also help each other.
Due to Li Qingyan’s relationship with Xu Yuan, and now she has extremely abundant supplies, if the other party wants to borrow them.
“Your Highness, you have misunderstood.”
Yuan Hao stood up slowly after bowing and said softly: "Yuan is here to deliver a message to His Highness Wu Yuan."
Convey a message.
“Do you want to cooperate?”
The other party came here now, did he want to lure her into making a big deal?
The current situation in the north quickly passed through my mind.
Because of the natural disaster caused by the snowstorm and the disaster caused by the epidemic, the original plan has been completely disrupted.
Although her Yulin Army had cooperated with the Xiangfu's Black Lin Army several times when dealing with the tide of disease-ridden people, now that those diseases and man-made disasters have been controlled, the common interests of the royal family and the Xiangfu There has been some slight change in stance.
They still have a cooperative relationship on a large scale. After all, the sect alliance is trying every means to destroy various infrastructures in the three northern continents, and their ultimate goal is to destroy the sects in the three northern continents while retaining the various subordinates. Such industries will be reserved as a rear area that can stably produce various war materials in the future.
But there are already differences and contradictions between the two in terms of details.
Because a new round of massacre competition has begun.
It’s just that this time the target is no longer the tens of millions of people infected with the disease, but the northern sects whose vitality was severely damaged in the barbarian war.
in short,
The royal family and the prime minister began to compete for territory.
The properties controlled by the sects that were defeated by the Black Lin Army will obviously not be handed over to the court.
vice versa.
With his thoughts at this point, Li Qingyan looked at the man in front of him with a hint of sigh.
Her Yulin Guards have always behaved well under her control, but the rest of the royal family's armies and the Prime Minister's Mansion have already begun to cause trouble with each other because of this matter.
Neither side wants to see the other party occupy too many northern industries and expand its strength too much.
According to the information she received, both sides are still in the testing stage. They are only doing some small actions of cutting off supplies and harassing the other party's logistics on a small scale. However, if this trend is not followed, I am afraid this matter will develop. It has to intensify.
In the end, it will even evolve into the royal family and the prime minister destroying the production facilities occupied by each other.
After a moment of thought, the look in Li Qingyan's eyes changed slightly, and he said solemnly:
“If it’s reasonable, I can agree.”
As one of the only three commanders of the royal family in the north, if she chooses to cooperate with the Black Scale Guards at this moment, it will be a very clear statement.
How can the internal fighting within the imperial court begin when the clan alliance is still around?
Yuan Hao's elegant eyes showed a hint of surprise when he heard this, but he immediately realized what His Highness Wu Yuan meant and smiled softly:
"Your Highness is very righteous. This matter can be discussed, but the message that the general came to deliver is not military affairs."
ˆ “.”
The wind and snow were swaying, and there was a moment of silence.
Li Qingyan frowned slightly, casually pulled a strand of loose black hair behind her back, and asked:
“Then what do you mean by coming here?”
Yuan Hao lowered his head slightly, thought about it for a while, and finally chose to say directly in front of this princess with great military achievements:
“The third young master was assassinated on his way south.”
ˆ “.”
Li Qingyan was stunned for a moment, and then the expression on his face became a little strange: "You said that guy is dead?"
Yuan Hao lowered his head and said in a very soft voice:
“Your Highness, you have been here attacking the mountain gate of the Ice Spirit Palace these days. The sun has shrouded you and news cannot be transmitted. In two or three days, the royal family should also send someone to inform you of this matter.”
ˆ “.”
Hearing this, Li Qingyan narrowed his eyes and subconsciously clenched the blade in his hand.
