Does history create heroes, or does heroes create history?
It has always been difficult to discern the relationship, but from the perspective of Amy Haber, who entered the history of Amy continent as a small mercenary starting from the year 203 of the Red Moon Calendar, in the first 10 years, history was creating heroes, and in the next 10 years, it was history that created heroes.
Years are a dance between heroes and history.

"Woo~~~" "Woo~~~"
A loud horn sounded in the north of Haike Village. Along with the horn sound, a hoarse voice came from far to near: "The snow wolves are coming~~ The snow wolves are coming, there are about 20 of them,
Everyone, hurry up and hide, we are coming in in ten minutes." A panting hunter appeared at the north entrance of the village riding a snow deer.
All the people working inside and outside the village stopped their hands. Whether they were men, women, old or young, they all untied the working tools from the snow deer in the fields as quickly as possible, and drove away the snow chickens under the eaves.
Go to the cage and put the eating snow dolphins in baskets...every household
Everyone rushed or carried the livestock into the house as quickly as possible, and in unison they opened the bedding on the bed, lifted an iron plate on the bed, and threw the livestock in one by one through a big hole, and then all the animals were thrown into the house.
Everyone went down from the cave and locked the iron door.
"Amy, come in quickly." An old voice sounded from a small thatched house in the south of the village. "The Snow Wolf is coming soon." The old man's voice became more and more urgent and severe.
"Wait a minute, Grandpa, I'll be right back. The two little snow chickens that were just hatched yesterday ran into the grass." A childish voice came from outside the fence of the thatched house.
"Ouch~~" the wolf's voice came from far away.
A tall figure rushed out of the house - an old man with white beard and hair. He rushed to the door of the yard and grabbed the collar of a little boy from the short grass, ignoring his kicking, beating and screaming.
, "Grandpa, let me go, we'll find them soon, otherwise they will all be eaten, wuwu~~
Let me go, grandpa." The two figures also hid in the hole in their bed. As soon as the iron door was closed, the snow wolf had already rushed into the house, and the claws of the most majestic snow wolf had already begun to try to lift the iron plate.
, several other wolves sniffed around the iron plate, and white breath blew down from the iron plate.
"Woo, grandpa, the chick must be dead," the child in the cave cried, not paying attention to the noise above his head.
"Amy, be obedient, the chicks can hatch again, and more will come out next time," the old man helplessly advised his grandson.
"Grandpa, why are there so many hunters in the village and no one kills the snow wolves? Last time we went to kill the snow bears together. The snow bears are much more powerful than the snow wolves. We can kill them all, so why doesn't everyone kill the snow wolves?" Amy.
He asked while crying and gasping for breath.
"Alas~~" the old man said with a long sigh, "Snow wolves cannot be killed. Anyone who kills them will have to pay with his life."
"Then why did some uncles from outside kill snow wolves last time, and killed more than 30 of them?" Amy asked unconvinced.
"They are mercenaries, mercenaries can kill them." The old man didn't want to explain too much to his grandson.
"When I grow up, I also want to be a mercenary~~" Amy clenched her fists.
Haike Village is located on the east side of the Nuanshui River in the frozen continent. According to the border division between the Amy Empire and the Hami Kingdom, this place should belong to the territory of the Hami Kingdom. However, the Hami people have been accustomed to living in the
In the cold ice and snow, the birthplace of Nuanshui River is a hot spring lake (Xueyue Lake) formed after a volcanic eruption. Near Xueyue Lake and along the Nuanshui River, there is a unique lake without ice and snow on the frozen continent.
area.
In the 500-year history of the Amy Empire, it has repeatedly tried to acquire the Xueyue Lake and Nuanshui River areas through diplomacy, war, blackmail and other means, but all failed.
The red moon calendar is 3 years, the red moon calendar is 12 years, the red moon calendar is 35 years, the red moon calendar is 47 years, and the red moon calendar is 52 years. In just 50 years, two generations of kings of the Amy Empire targeted the areas of Xueyue Lake and Nuanshui River.
Five large-scale wars were launched, using all arms including dragoons. Each war ended in the same outcome.
At the southern end of the continent, the Amy Empire often captured all the land in the shortest time - or the word "conquer" cannot be used, because the Hami Kingdom never let go of a single soldier in this area. After the war began, in the Amy Empire
In the ice and snow forest on the northernmost side of the Northern Confederation of the Amy Empire, a large number of Hami wolf-riding warriors always launch attacks against the Northern Confederation of the Amy Empire along the only Dragon Tooth Mountain Continental Road in the ice-covered continent.
On the frozen continent, no matter what kind of soldier you are, facing the Hami people with white beards and hair, facing the ice and snow battle suits made of white bear velvet, facing the snow-white snow wolf warriors, facing the snow-white continent, they all have the only choice.
One ending: escape.
The combat effectiveness of any military unit in the ice and snow continent is less than 10%. Even the invincible dragoons can only achieve 50% of the combat effectiveness. How many dragoons are there in the Amy Empire? They are not as good as the wolves of the Hami people.
One squad of cavalry is more than enough.
There are also several Amy Empire monarchs who hope to obtain Xueyue Lake and Nuanshui River through diplomacy or blackmail, but the simple minds of the Hami Kingdom refuse to sign any agreement as long as they see any words related to the territory.
The only reason for this situation is that the founding monarch of the Amy Empire, Amy I, had successfully deceived the monarch of the Hami Empire once, and in that deception, he obtained approximately 25% of the original empire's territory.
The territory of the Hami Empire, large and small, and established the northern confederation of the Amy Empire. Amy I promised the Hami Empire and was willing to use the best territory of his country - the Flower Language Plain in the hinterland of the Amy Noir continent, in exchange for the ice
The territory at the southern end of the continent, and to the Hami Empire
Jun showed that they were rich in various fruits and animals. Muya VII of the Hami Empire was so moved that he signed a territorial exchange agreement that shocked the two continents at the time, despite the strong opposition of the king's brother and the empress dowager.
After signing, almost everyone agreed
Crazy for Amy I, who exchanged the richest territory for the poorest territory - except for the queen mother and the king's brother of the Hami Empire at the time, and the latter angrily returned to their own territory and risked execution to declare independence.
, established the Northern Hami Empire.
At that time, Muya VII was eager to move the capital to Huayu Plain, and made the important decision to gradually give up the territory of the Frozen Continent, so he did not argue with Wang Di. Wang Di used this precious time to change his territory from the Hami people.
The imperial capital expanded rapidly until it occupied the entire continent east and north of the Dragon Tooth Mountain.
The joyful King Muya VII and his ministers arrived at the Flower Language Plain. The first feeling was that they were in a paradise. In the northern part of the Flower Language Plain, it was like spring all year round, the air was moist, and flowers of all colors bloomed constantly. They rode horses and whipped their whips for three runs on the plain.
For days and nights, there are always flowers in front of you and fragrance in your nose. The southern part of the Flower Plain is a humid and rainy area, and there are countless sweet fruits in the large broad-leaved rainforest.
However, during the five years since the capital was established, the new capital established by Muir VII was attacked three times by surrounding countries. The last time, Muir VII rushed into the imperial army and washed away the shame of his wrong decision with blood.
Why did the most powerful country on the frozen continent end up being bullied by dogs after arriving in the Eminol Continent? Where are the invincible and invincible Snow Wolf Cavalry?
According to later generations of military strategists, the doctrine of mutual restraint of arms and the doctrine of arms blessing were written with the blood of the emperor and the blood of one hundred thousand snow wolf cavalry.
The Hami people who have lived in the frozen continent for generations have very long beards and hair, especially their eyebrows and eyelashes. In order to prevent the sun from shining on the snow and causing blindness, the Hami people's eyebrows and eyelashes are not only long, but also grow rapidly. But when it is wet
After the flower language plain, this physiological phenomenon was simply unbearable, and my eyebrows were often filled with water droplets.
Princes and ministers still have time to ask someone to help them repair it. What about the soldiers? How to fight in this situation? Snow wolves have longer hair, and they are all white. In the sultry plains, snow wolves that are not adapted to the climate have no fighting power at all. In
During the war, the original natural protective color has now become the color of the shroud after each battle.
In the end, out of the 100,000-strong army that entered the Huayu Grassland, only more than 10,000 people set foot on their homeland. Since then, the Hami people have learned to stop talking to anyone about anything related to their territory.
Xueyue Lake is the product of a volcanic eruption 100 years after the Hami people returned to the frozen continent. The Hami people will not make any mistakes on this.
Due to the Flower Language Plain, the Hami people stay away from Xueyue Lake and Nuanshui River and will not send any troops, but they will never allow the territory here to be lost. Once the war breaks out, they will immediately send troops from the ice and snow forest to threaten the external alliances of the Amy Empire.
The capital of the Ice Fortress. Finally, the Amy Empire was forced to withdraw its troops.
Nuanshui River and Xueyue Lake still have certain use value to the Hami Kingdom - they are feeding grounds for snow wolves. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the snow wolves, all snow wolves in the Hami Kingdom will not be kept in captivity.
Freed in the wild, or another way of saying it would be more accurate, after the war broke out,
The Hami people rely on their innate sense to find wild wolf packs and recruit wild wolves into the army. The wild wolves are also extremely cooperative. The wolves will be divided into various wolf cavalry teams according to the group. The wolf head becomes the captain's mount, and the other wolves
They will be assigned to warriors of different levels based on their status in the wolf pack.
In fact, the Hami Kingdom does not have the strength to raise so many wolves. For the Hami Empire, which is established on the barren ice and snow continent, any war with all members mobilized cannot exceed 6 months, otherwise the national economy will automatically
Collapse, the core reason for its economic collapse is that it was deprived by wolf warriors.
The number of snow wolves has always been around 150,000. They were originally distributed in every corner of the Frozen Continent. Ever since the Amy Empire took possession of territory in the Frozen Continent, the snow wolves have strangely automatically retreated to the Hami Kingdom and Beiha.
The territory of Miren Kingdom has about 70,000 heads each.
Right. There are very few animals and plants on the mainland, and it is very difficult for snow wolves to find food. It often takes several days and nights to catch a prey. Therefore, attacking non-Hami human villages has become a way for snow wolves to find food.
The main means. The Hami people are not opposed to other species
The Hami people live on the frozen continent - as long as they pay taxes, the Hami people will never allow anyone to harm the snow wolves. In every human village, there are various ways to avoid wolves. And more and more permanent residents
Residents have become accustomed to this kind of "wolf comes and I hide,
He believed that this was also a tax that should be paid to the Hami Kingdom. Originally, the Hami Kingdom lived a clean life and would not collect too many taxes from its citizens, so even if the "wolf head" was added,
"Tax" is still much lighter than in other countries.
Haike Village is such a village that needs to pay the "wolf head tax". People are accustomed to taking away only the main large livestock every time a wolf pack comes, leaving appropriate poultry for the wolf grandfathers to enjoy. Wolves generally
They won't stay for a long time. Firstly, they are not used to the hot and humid air; secondly, the next village is only half a day away from here, and there is also a tax collected there. They usually don't stay for more than half a day.
"Thump...thump...thump..."
Amidst the scratching sounds of the wolf's claws, the iron plate on Amy's head rang rhythmically, and a pleasant male voice sounded: "Excuse me, is this the Harper's house?"
