High Magic Earth

Chapter 683: Drifters

Without Donneting, every once in a while, he continued to absorb energy dissipated in the air, and the temperature of Westeros, used to its existence, suddenly lost its balance. ↖, x.

A large amount of excess energy starts to converge. They have no place to release, they can only accumulate continuously. The unbalanced energy makes the entire world, including the monsoon, tides and air pressure change. This is like a lever. As long as you move it, then another One side will certainly change.

Whether this change is good or bad, it takes a long time to find a balance again.

Nowhere to vent energy gathered above Westeros, squeezing the cold air and cold current below, so it was definitely a severe winter for the mainland creatures, and it came.

The long night fell on this once warm land, as if it was an endless night, and the snow covered the forest and the stream, as if the world was covered with a thick carapace.

There is no more vitality in the forest in the past, and it is replaced by a quiet and empty. The cold temperature makes all movements daunting, even the master of the world, so is humanity.

Large plants withered and fell off, ending their lives in advance due to the coming of winter, and as the long winter continues, such a situation may be more and more, and no longer limited to plants.

The crisis hidden under this beautiful scenery of white snow is the most deadly trap.

Food, food is the biggest difficulty in winter, whether for animals or humans.

Because plants can not withstand the demise of bad weather, many herbivorous animals will die because of starvation. Similarly, the resistance of this food chain will flow through several layers. Eventually reflected in humans.

And the winter in Westeros is more than that. The long night is coming. . This means that this long winter will last for five or six years, sometimes even seven or eight years, and because of the disappearance of Dornting, this time the last winter may only be long and short, and The president is terrible. .

In this way, the storage of food will be useless, even if humans have been prepared for as long as possible to store food. It is impossible to survive this long time, because no food can be kept for so long, even in winter.

What's more, these life is hard, and even just the medieval poor who are struggling to live on the food and clothing of death, how can there be so much food to store, they often eat in the summer but not in the summer, the winter falls, for them That means death.

This is indeed the case, and every fall of Winter takes away the life of two-thirds of Westeros. Sometimes there are even more, otherwise why Westeros' civilization is not low. But the population has always been very sparse, because few civilians can survive a winter. . Up to two.

If it was not Westeros that still grows a plant that is only available in winter and available for human use, I am afraid that no one can survive.

and. . In this winter's landing, humans not only have to face the problem of food, but also their oldest enemy, the invasion of aliens. This time, they are not beaten and beaten outside the Great Wall as usual, but they have already After crossing the Great Wall, the shadow of death is about to fall on everyone's head.

so. . Even the most subtle changes will affect the whole world, and even turn the development process of the whole world onto an unknown road that does not know where to go.

This is just because winter will last for several years.

If the winter in reality is also such a long time, then I am afraid that the development of this world will not be better than the world of ice and fire. Even if one hundred Newtons are born, there will still be no way to store the food in the long night, let alone The apple on the apple tree hit his head.

Of course, these dangers are aimed at civilians. For those nobles and families, even the day before the end of the world, they have the ability to let themselves eat and then die, it is nothing more than a competition to eat better.

By the way. . The kind of plant that blooms in winter is called winter life, and unexpectedly, its taste is unexpectedly delicious, if it does not always contain some hallucinogenic toxins.

At this time, Niya was one of the mighty army of scavengers.

She was wearing a thin and worn linen cloth, hunting in the screaming cold wind, and the rushing cold wind passed through the cracked hole in the clothes, blowing it tightly against this thin and dry On the body, it can't play a role in resisting and defending against the cold. . Even, this can no longer be called clothes, because it is only a simple cut, which can be worn on the body so as not to fall.

Niya's complexion turned yellow, and an unhealthy color appeared. Her hair seemed to be dry grass that hadn't been taken care of for many days, accompanied by a skull-like thin head, like a ghost crawling out of hell.

Perhaps this is really the case, because after escaping from the city of death full of despair and blood, Niya has always felt that he is already in **** and still unable to escape.

This team is the crowd that rides down the river from Baigang. After discovering that Baigang will not be able to defend for a long time, Bran and the remaining Mandela family knights have moved the Baigang crowd out of the city as quickly as possible. For the reason that his people need protection, on the one hand, in order not to let the ghoul's power continue to increase, the reason for the death of the knights is another aspect.

However, since he hastily walked, there is naturally no preparation. Although Baigang is a rich commercial city, the civilians living in this city can only save a few days longer than the civilians in other places. It’s just rations.

The story of the assassination of the ghosts spread throughout the city as early as the first day, and the Niya couples were naturally prepared early, but when they boarded the ship, in order to save space, the poor people’s tattered They can't be taken on board anymore, so the two were driven to the ship empty-handed by the guards.

And in order to transfer the crowd out, the ship took them to a short distance downstream of Baigang, stopped in a hurry, and then returned at full speed. If it weren’t for Niya to hide the grain wisely. I'm afraid they couldn't survive the first few days.

But even so. . There is still one day to finish the food.

In fact. Three days after the start of the team, the rations accumulated by the two of them had already been consumed, and in order not to starve themselves, Niya could only come out and follow others to find something to eat.

Their goal is everything that can be eaten. At this time, the winter in Westeros far from the north has just landed. After the first heavy snow, only a thin layer of snow blanket was placed on the ground. Winter-life plants did not start to grow at all, but the same. Other food did not disappear completely because of the winter.

Animals like rabbits and foxes, as well as scarce food such as wild fruits and edible plants, can still be seen in the wild.

And they are also the biggest source of food for these exiles.

Three days ago, when they just came out of Baigang, these residents living in Baigang took over with Weiman Mandalay, the owner of Baigang, because after Weiman heard the strange ghost attacking Baigang, He rushed to the lower reaches of the river for the first time. Although he wanted to rush back to the battlefield in person, he dragged him back.

And their approach is correct.

Because on the fourth day of the crowd transfer, it was not enough to remove all Baigang residents. When only transferring less than two-thirds of the amount, the alien used a terrifying weapon to blast the magic wall of Bran, the messenger of the Green Prophet.

Then. . Baigang fell.

The remaining third of the inhabitants who did not escape from this death place. Approximately 10,000 people have all become victims of the attack of the ghosts, and have become a member of the army of ghosts, a new supplement to their members.

But before that, those soldiers who had resisted bravely and survived, had evacuated the boat safely with Bran, the messenger of the Green Prophet.

Oh yes, Bran already has his own name at this time, no longer the youngest child of the Stark family who has almost disappeared, but the messenger of the Green Prophet, even his four servants have been Bards are given different titles.

In front of the gossip, the news is always circulated fast, and there are stories and gossip about Bran, even faster than the fall of the strange ghost to Baigang.

However, even if the message transmission speed is slow, in the face of the war, all the news is still spread throughout the day at the junction of the northern and southern borders, and all the cities near Baigang.

Similarly, his team led by Sir Wiman Mandalay, the bad situation at this time, is also for this reason.

The civilians of Baigang fled along the river and escaped with Weiman. The people in the surrounding cities were not surprised. After all, Baigang had the most ships, and it was strange that they could not escape.

But the death of Willis Mandalay is a big news, because the oldest son of Weiman has died in the **** wedding, which means that he is facing the situation of no one succeeding. Of course, the huge Mandalay family cannot be a good one. Has no male offspring, but only a few sidelines remain.

If it is a homeless refugee because of a group of wars, then it is definitely a valuable asset that the major aristocratic families are competing for, but the situation is obviously different at this time.

First of all, Wiman Mandela is still alive, his family is still intact, and even all the main aristocratic families from Baigang have not suffered any damage. They escaped before the alien attack, what can they do.

So who do these listeners listen to, the local aristocracy and the city lord, still follow the Mandalay family, not to mention that he still carries a large number of soldiers, although he has suffered heavy casualties, but the remaining number is still challenging the nobles vulnerable nerve.

Secondly. . Even if some nobles do not count on their suspicions, and the little nobles who themselves depend on the Mandalay family dare to take them in, they do not have enough food to feed these refugees.

Since the first heavy snowfall in the south of Westeros, all experienced people know that the long winter is about to begin from this time, although it is not clear why this winter seems to be more than half a year earlier than before. But successive snowfalls are still inevitable.

The heavy snow covering the entire continent has always been the characteristic of Westeros. On the eve of winter, it will float to the snow for nearly a week, until the continent is wrapped up, and all breaths of life are isolated, and This time is no exception. After the first heavy snow, there will be only one color left between heaven and earth, that is, white.

In this case, food will become the most important thing. All cities must prepare in advance for food, so even the richest nobles and cities can’t change food out of thin air to feed this huge amount. Drifters.

So Wiman's abacus was short. At first, he planned to go to Carlin Bay, where it was relatively close, and he was often a city to settle in, but unfortunately Carlin Bay is not very big, much smaller than Baigang, There is also no ability and food to feed these refugees.

If they go there, these people will soon finish their food and die, and they will even drag the people of Carlin Bay to death.

So Earl Wiman must look for a big city, at least like the previous Baigang, in order to integrate these people without too much pressure, and the city needs to be close to the forest and the wild, because there must be many people Still unable to eat, they need to find their own food.

For example, Junlin, Twin River City, Seagull Town, etc. As for whether these cities accept it, it is not within the scope of Weiman's consideration. Once he takes people to the city, it is not known how things will become.

And even in these cities, Earl Wiman needs to solve some populations before going there, no matter what method, whether it is starving or sharing.

In fact, thousands of people heading to Carlin Bay had already shunted in advance one day ago under the **** of several knights and soldiers loyal to the Mandalay family, and the remaining people were going to the vicinity of Twin River City. Grey water look.

Because no matter what their final destination is ~lightnovelpub.net~, they always have to walk past, and they have to arrive before the snow, and even faster than the strange ghosts behind, no one knows where they will attack next.

So the situation of these civilians who escaped from Baigang is really not very good, of course. . The team heading to Carlin Bay may be in a worse situation. Although Carlin Bay accepts these people, there is no problem, but Carlin Bay is behind Baigang. If the ghosts continue to go south, it will bear the brunt.

In such a situation, Niya followed the migrating team out to find something to eat.

In the past three days, many people have died one after another. They have no food sources along the way. Only the food sent by the Mandalay family and other noble families along their caravans along the way, but the amount of these foods is not large. Moreover, priority is given to the nobles and soldiers, and when they are distributed to the civilians below, they are not even able to eat enough.

Every day civilians are starved and frozen to death, and Niya knows that if he no longer finds something to eat as soon as possible, I am afraid that he and his husband will soon follow in the footsteps of these people and become a dead bone in the wild . (To be continued.)
