According to the analysis of the historians of the Amy Empire, Amy I did not want to deceive Muya VII. Just as in later history, when the Hami Kingdom had to withdraw from the Flower Language Plain, although it was within easy reach to regain the Flower Language Plain, its national strength was declining.
The Qiang Amy Empire did not send a single soldier into the Flower Language Plain. It was for this reason that the Holy Church, the second most powerful country on the continent, was able to develop. So what exactly prompted the so-called mainland king Amy I to do this?
What about a seemingly wrong decision?
Perhaps, we can discover the fundamental purpose of the Continental King from the same little mercenary named Amy 500 years later. - Continental King research expert Amy, imperial bachelor Feile's research notes

"Who?" Amy asked subconsciously, then suddenly realized the coexistence of wolves and humans. She was so scared that she hugged her grandfather tightly and almost screamed.
In Haike Village, no Hami people have ever arrived. Even if taxes need to be collected, it is the Hami people who send humans from other races. Therefore, in this area, there are wolves and no people, and there are people and no wolves. Wolves and people will not coexist at the same time.
of.
"Well, is this the Harper's house? I'm Lake Harper's friend." The man's voice came leisurely from above.
"Dad, Dad, he is Dad's friend." When Amy heard her father's name, she almost forgot everything, and reached out to open the lock of the iron door. The old man's hand pulled Amy.
"Looking at your language, you are not a Hami person. You should be from the Amy Empire, right?" the old man asked in a deep voice.
"Well, yes, you are Uncle Harper, right? Lake and I both serve in the Amy Empire Border Guard Army." The man's voice still said slowly.
"Why are you with the snow wolves? They will eat everyone except the Hami people. You..." the old man asked hesitantly.
"Oh, it's okay, I'll let them go. Haha, Uncle Hubble, there are some special opportunities, so I am one of the few people in the Amy Empire who will not be eaten by snow wolves." After the man finished speaking, he seemed to rush into the room.
Snow Wolf was talking: "Hey, brothers, let's go, I have something to do, Xiaobai, let your brothers leave this village."
"Woo~~"
After a low howl, the sound of the snow wolf inside and outside the house quickly disappeared.
The old man opened the iron door hesitantly to a small crack. After confirming that there was no snow wolf in the crack, the old man opened the door completely.
A middle-aged man wearing the traditional costume of the Amy Empire was sitting beside the bed. When he saw the old man coming out, he immediately stood up and nodded politely to the old man.
"Hello, Uncle Haber. I am Lake. I am a friend of Haber's in the army. My name is Han Feng. Chi, or you can call me Chi Hanfeng, which may be more smooth."
"Uncle, where is my father?" Amy jumped out of the hole and immediately asked the young man anxiously. The same question appeared in Old Haber's eyes.
"Well, to be precise, I don't know, that's why I came here." The young man said seriously.
"The situation is probably like this..." At Old Man Haber's signal, the young man sat on the edge of the bed and talked about the reason why he came to Haike Village.
The villagers of Haike Village, like most residents of Nuanshui River, mostly migrated from the Amy Empire and the Holy Church. This area is surrounded by a 1,000-kilometer-long and 200-kilometer-wide ice and snow forest in the north, and is surrounded by ice in the east.
The only non-coniferous forest on the mainland, the Nuanshui River Forest, is also very large, with a length and width of about 300 kilometers each. The south and west are the sea.
The Amy Empire does not have the power to build a port here, and due to climate reasons, the Hami Empire will not build a port here. Therefore, once most residents move here, they rarely leave again, especially people like Grandpa Haber.
First generation immigrants.
Young people are different. Lake Haber spent his childhood in the northern states of the empire. After growing up in Heike Village, the young man has a high-spirited nature and is unwilling to live in one place for a long time. He insists on going out to explore the world. Elder Haber
His opinion is very clear: young people need to go out and live for decades, and they should do what young people should do when they are young.
In this way, 10 years ago, during the latest invasion of the Amy Empire, 20-year-old Lake Harper joined the imperial army as a guide. If it were not for a large force, few people would be able to walk out of the ice and snow forest alive.
Nuanshui River Forest.
In the year 187 of the Red Lunar Calendar, that is, 55 years ago, Lake Harper, who had already accumulated military exploits in the army and became the captain of the Amy Empire's border army, took advantage of his vacation to return to Heike Village with his 2-year-old son Amy.
After giving birth to Amy, Lake Harper's wife became weak and unable to withstand the cold air of the frozen continent, and died a year later. Lake Harper was unable to take care of her son during his military life, so he left the burden to his father.
Hami already knew the first things, and knew them in more detail than Han Feng and Chi. The latter was the main reason why Chi Hanfeng came here.
Also in the year 187 of the Red Lunar Calendar, Han Feng Chi was ordered to be transferred from the capital of the empire to serve in the border defense army of the northern alliance of the empire. At that time, he was the captain of the cavalry battalion of the border guard army. When Lake Haber returned to the army after visiting relatives, he found that the original cavalry battalion captain
He has been transferred back to the Flower Language Plain on the border of the empire. During a very formal visit, he met Han Feng Chi.
According to this man named Chi Hanfeng, in the subsequent series of cooperation, Lake Harper, then the captain of the Glacier Infantry Battalion of the Border Guards, had life-saving graces with him several times: In the year 188 of the Red Moon Calendar, the newly appointed Captain
Chi Hanfeng's handsome team pursued the snow orcs who came out of the ice and snow forest to harass the border. Chi Hanfeng, who was not familiar with the terrain, was taken into the ice valley 50 kilometers deep in the ice and snow forest by the snow orcs. He wanted to annihilate them in one fell swoop.
After a group of snow orc cavalry rushed down, they discovered that the snow orcs had used the ice ladders on both sides of the ice valley to escape. The cavalry who rushed down the slope looked back at the 30° slope and felt as if they had been abandoned by heaven - 20 kilometers
It only took half a day to climb down the long slope, but what about going back? Can anyone go back? The horses simply did not have the strength to climb up the slope and overcome the slippery ice at the same time.
After Lake Haber learned about the whereabouts of Chi Hanfeng's troops, he quickly judged the worst outcome and led the Glacier Infantry Brigade on a sleigh overnight to catch up to the Ice Valley. Then he used the quilts he carried on the sled to spread out the
A non-slip road surface was created, allowing the border cavalry brigade to avoid the disaster of annihilation of the entire army.
Of course, there were several such situations, but most of them were personal help or life-saving grace. Chi Hanfeng's description is very simple.
At the end of the 191st year of the Red Lunar Calendar, Lake Haber, who was then the Captain of the Border Guards Cavalry Battalion and the Border Guards Glacier Infantry Battalion, received an order from the Governor of the Northern Commonwealth of the Empire to return to the location of the Governor's Mansion of the Northern Commonwealth of the Empire and escort the Imperial Archmage
Visit the Ice Begging Tower located in the North Hami Kingdom to accept the trial.
One of the brigade only needs to escort out of the ice and snow forest on the border of the Amy Empire, while the other brigade's task is to escort the Archmage into the Begging Tower.
In the history of the empire, there have been a total of 342 archmages, 134 of whom offered to enter the Begging Tower trial. According to records, a total of 35 archmages chose the Ice Begging Tower, but successfully passed the trial.
There are only three mages left. One of these three entered the Begging Tower and ended the trial 5 years later.
, the other two both completed their trials ten years later. According to the descriptions in the magic diaries of these three imperial magisters (magicians who pass the trial will receive the title of magister of the magic union), after entering the trial tower
, he was actually thrown into the ice and snow barrier, exercising and improving his magic level in the illusion of the barrier.
The mission of the escort is to submit credentials to the Hami Kingdom and the North Hami Kingdom in the name of the country. During this journey, there are three highest-level dangerous areas.
The three most dangerous places in the Frozen Continent are: Trial Cave, Dragon Tooth Mountain, and Ice and Snow Forest.
This trip will pass through all three dangerous areas. Among these three dangerous areas, the ice and snow forest is relatively the safest.
The danger in the ice and snow forest lies in the presence of snow wolves and snow beasts, making it impossible to obtain supplies in the desert; it is said that there are green dragons of the ice and snow type near the Dragon Tooth Mountain, and occasionally attack business travelers on the mainland highway; as for the written records of the trial cave, the distance
The most recent one was 56 years ago, when the team escorted the last archmage to a trial.
Description - You must pass through a 150-kilometer trial cave before you can reach the Ice Begging Tower. It takes at least 10 days to walk in this 150-kilometer cave. There are many monsters in it, and most of them can use ice magic. 750 people
The escort group lost 70% of its soldiers as they entered and exited the trial cave.
The approximate itinerary is as follows: from the Ice Fortress to the northern border of the empire, take the mainland highway, a distance of 500 kilometers, which takes about 15 days.
The ice and snow forest is 250 kilometers away via the mainland highway and takes about 10 days.
It takes about 10 days to go to the capital of Hami Kingdom to submit credentials and take the mainland highway, which is 300 kilometers away.
It takes about 15 days to take the mainland highway from the capital of King Hami to Mount Longya, which is 450 kilometers.
Crossing Longya Mountain and taking the mainland highway, it is 150 kilometers and takes about 7 days.
It takes about 10 days to go to the capital of North Hami Kingdom to submit your credentials and take the mainland highway, which is 300 kilometers away. In fact, although the Ice Begging Tower is located in North Hami Kingdom, the only way to enter the Begging Tower is through Long.
It is within the Hami Kingdom west of Asan, so you must return to the Hami Kingdom again.
From the capital of Beihami to the west side of Longya Mountain, take the mainland highway, which is 450 kilometers and takes about 17 days.
Travel southeast along the Longya Mountains to the trial cave, a 300-kilometer journey with no mainland roads and uninhabited areas, which takes about 20 days.
The trial cave is 150 kilometers long, with no mainland roads, and takes about 12 days.
The entire trip took about 200 days to go back and forth. Including the time spent in the two countries, the whole trip took about 230 days.
In the past four years, Lake Harper and Chi Hanfeng have completed many tasks together, but this is the first time they have quarreled during a task.
Chi Hanfeng's voice became heavier and heavier, and so did Amy and Grandpa's moods. Only people living on the frozen continent know the dangers of the frozen continent.
It is too common for this continent to have hundreds of miles of uninhabited people. A violent snowstorm can kill all people in a radius of hundreds of miles. No one in other continents can imagine that a snowstorm can last for ten days in a row, and the snow is three times thick.
Meters above, all people will be buried alive and suffocated to death.
The beasts that can survive in this world have extremely great abilities and destructive power. Of course, the humans who can survive in this world are also much more sturdy and brave compared to humans on other continents.
"According to the planned itinerary, we walked out of the ice and snow forest..." This man named Chi Hanfeng has already walked into the history of memories.
They have been active near the ice and snow forest all year round. The ice and snow forest is no longer a big danger to the border guards. Just like this time, after repelling three snow beast attacks, two groups of imperial troops arrived safely.
The territory of the Kingdom of Mi.
But over the issue of which team should return to the empire and which team should continue to escort them, Lake Harper and Chi Hanfeng started to quarrel.
Everyone admits that this trip is very risky, so everyone rushes to go.
Lake Harper tried to convince Chi Hanfeng with two reasons:
1. No heirs
2. When marching in the snow, the cavalry becomes a burden.
But in Chi Hanfeng's understanding, this is exactly the reason why Lake Harper cannot continue:
1. If something happens to Lake, his son will become an orphan.
2. When marching in the snow, horses can be somewhat faster, and if something happens, the horses can be killed for meat - the dismounted knight is naturally an infantryman. How is it worse than the glacier infantry?
Finally, the two good partners took action - in this case, let the stronger one go, the stronger one has a greater chance of survival.
Chi Hanfeng was full of confidence. He entered the Imperial Knight School at the age of 8 and has always been the best in the school in terms of martial arts. At the age of 20, he passed the XX trial and became a XX knight.
When talking about this, Chi Hanfeng's voice suddenly became unclear. The grandfather and grandson, who were concerned about Lake Harper's life and death, did not pay much attention to the details in his words.
The fight is held privately.
The result of the battle was something Chi Hanfeng could never imagine, losing in one blow.
In the previous missions when the two of them cooperated, the cavalry brigade often performed assault missions, while the glacier infantry brigade often performed the tasks of suppressing the formation or withdrawing. Chi had never seen Lake Harper take action in his memory, and he was afraid that
Strike, a good friend who was born as a mountain hunter, had never understood his martial arts skills.
But in this contest, Chi Hanfeng rode his mount and charged towards Lake Haber with his spear pointed out. Without any tricks, Lake Haber rushed forward in the wind and snow, and directly hit him head-on with the big sword of both hands.
After holding onto the spear, Chi Hanfeng felt his hand heat up, and the spear was shaken away from the shield's defense area. Lake Harper immediately retreated - for knights who use spears, if there is a gap between the spear and the shield, it means death.
Chi Hanfeng regretted that he did not use a two-handed spear, otherwise this situation would not have happened.
"Forget it, brother, stop fighting, this is your destiny and mine." Lake Haber patted Chi Hanfeng on the shoulder.
"My son is 7 years old this year. Originally, I wanted to take him to the Ice Fortress in a while and let him exercise well. Now this task is left to you. Help me take care of him. If I can't come back...
"
"This happened 11 months ago." Chi Hanfeng's eyes were already wet.
"Is my father dead?" 7-year-old Amy asked anxiously and incoherently.
"I don't know. A month ago, the soldiers who came back from the Begging Tower said that when the Archmage entered the Begging Tower, an enchantment storm occurred. Not only was the Archmage involved in the enchantment, but also the people near the enchantment.
Three of the ten accompanying mages were involved in the Begging Tower. You
For everyone's safety, Dad rushed to the door of the Begging Tower and tried hard to push the door shut to prevent the barrier storm from rushing out of the Begging Tower. When he used his two-handed sword as a latch to lock the door, he was sucked
Go in." Chi Hanfeng seemed to have recovered.
"Can he come back? What is the barrier storm?" Little Amy asked worriedly.
"It should be possible, but I don't know how many years it will take. You are still young. When you are older, you will naturally know." The man who was later called uncle by Amy simply answered.
In the year 192 of the red lunar calendar, a stranger named Chi Hanfeng became a member of Haike Village in the name of Amy's distant uncle. From the day he came to Haike Village, Snow Wolf never visited Haike Village again.
