As the Los Empire went north, the weather became colder and colder, the ice and snow had not yet melted, and the mountains and rivers were covered with white.
A chain of mountains and rivers runs across the northern border, blocking the cold from the far north ice sheet and leaving an environment in which humans can survive.
This mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles is called the Ges Mountains. It runs from east to west, like a natural chasm, guarding the northern border of the Los Empire.
After crossing the Ges Mountains, there is an ice field that does not melt all year round. The thickness of the ice can reach thousands of meters. It is said that if you go all the way north, you will enter the land of eternal night. No one knows what is buried inside.
This polar ice sheet is a restricted area for all living creatures. The bone-breaking cold will quickly take away your body temperature. Even if you don't move, your physical energy will be quickly depleted.
Even the common snow rabbits and snow foxes in the north are hard to find on the ice fields.
The Ges Mountains block the cold wind and the existence of life.
However, at this moment, on the side of the Ges Mountains near the ice sheet, there was a team of thousands of engineers busy under a cliff.
The cliff on the side near the ice sheet is covered with a thick layer of ice. Polished by the cold wind, it is as smooth as a mirror. The cliff is hundreds of meters high and is a pure natural city wall.
But it is a mountain range after all, and there are always gaps, large and small, in between.
The elites of the major armies of the Los Empire are gathering towards the north, and the engineering regiments of the northern army were dispatched three days ago to build fortifications under the Ges Mountains.
If you want to stop the undead army from moving south, the Gus Mountains are the only option.
The polar ice fields are vast and the weather is extreme. It is unrealistic to take the initiative to search for the undead army on the vast ice fields.
After passing the Gus Mountains and heading south, there is no natural danger that can stop the undead army.
With the help of the natural fortifications of the Ges Mountains, the entire mountain range was built into a hundred-mile Great Wall to stop the undead army trying to go south and fight decisively outside the empire.
This is the policy set by the coalition commander Alex and Marshal Dominic. No soldier in the Los Empire will question the decision of these two adults.
"Be quick with your actions! Today we will fill in these holes and spread the area with glutinous rice. We will barbecue for you tonight! The sentry brother just caught a few snow deer!" A tall and fat knight looked at him. He said loudly to the engineers and soldiers who were working.
"okay!"
When they heard that there would be meat to eat at night, the eyes of the engineers carrying the ice suddenly brightened, and their work became much more efficient.
This is a gap more than ten meters wide. From this gap upwards is a slope covered with ice. For ordinary people, it is still an insurmountable chasm.
But according to reports from spies who have entered the ice field, those skeletons can easily climb up any slope that is slightly sloping, let alone such a gentle slope.
Therefore, they will use ice mined from the ice sheet to plug this gap and connect it to the vertical cliffs on both sides to form a complete city wall.
This is what the tens of thousands of engineers and soldiers currently busy under the Ges Mountains are doing.
Of course, it would take less than ten days and a half to complete such a gap just by relying on engineers like them.
Fortunately, there were more than a dozen magicians assigned to their team. The wind magician was responsible for cutting the ice, and the water magician poured water into the gaps in the ice. After it solidified naturally, it became a solid ice wall.
Ice magicians are even more at home in such an environment of ice and snow. They can create ice very quickly and bear a large part of the workload.
"Sir, we have filled several big holes in a row, how many more do we need to fill?" An engineer dropped a large piece of ice and looked at the tall and fat leader and asked.
"Yeah, it's too cold here. I carry ice cubes every day and my hands are frozen."
The other engineers also turned their heads to look.
It’s okay to be tired these days, but this side of the mountain is no better than the other side of the mountain. Those of them who are used to staying in the north are also freezing.
At night, I had to huddle in a pile under the fire to barely fall asleep. Last night, a soldier went out of the tent to urinate and fell. When he was found in the morning, he was like a popsicle.
"How much to fill in?" The tall and fat legion smiled, and his expression suddenly became serious. He looked at the engineers and said: "Until it is filled in! If you don't get the order to retreat, you have to keep filling in!"
Are you scared just because it's colder? The next brothers who went to the front line to confront the undead came with their heads tied to their belts! You must remember that although we have never fought in the north, you are still soldiers! If the undead army crosses the Gus Mountains, your family will die in the hands of those devils! "
All the engineers lowered their heads, looking ashamed.
The engineer who asked the question before silently picked up a large piece of ice and walked towards the ice wall.
The engineers and soldiers worked silently, and their legs and feet were faster than before.
On the mountain, Dominic, who was wearing armor, nodded slightly, withdrew his gaze, looked sideways at the adjutant beside him and said: "Let the engineers of each legion step up their efforts on the front line. Food and grass will be given priority. The front line must be arranged as required within three days. "
"Yes, Marshal!" The adjutant nodded in agreement, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Marshal, there is a little thing I want to report to you."
"explain."
"Yesterday, a giant frost dragon appeared on the front line. She assisted the Ordnance Corps in repairing dozens of gaps, but she has been inquiring about the undead army," the adjutant said.
"Could it be her?" Dominic frowned, "Where is she now?"
"I don't know if they have left. I'm going to make inquiries." The adjutant said quickly and left quickly.
Soon after, the adjutant returned, looked at Dominic and said, "Marshal, she has left. It is said that she flew to the ice field."
"Entering the ice field?" Dominic's face darkened. During this period, the Los Empire lost many spies in the ice field. Whether it was the extremely dangerous environment or the skeletons hiding under the ice and snow, they were extremely dangerous existences. .
"Get ready, I want to write a letter to the Dragon Clan." Dominic said.
"yes!"
…
“If the millions of undead legions are like floods, then the Baili Mountain Defense Line is the first line of flood control.
However, blocking the flood alone is not enough. Such a surge will inevitably overturn the flood control system, making it impossible to control it.
So I left three flood outlets. These three flood outlets are three natural canyons with a length of between ten and fifteen kilometers.
Then, at the end of the flood discharge channel, the last gate is pulled up to ensure that not a drop of flood water escapes. "
Mag sat on the back of the griffin, overlooking the vast world of ice and snow below. The Ges Mountains were like a huge flood control system, blocking the cold air trying to move south.
"What if it can't be stopped?" Irina asked.
"There are no ifs." Mag shook his head and said with a deep look: "We can only guarantee that there will be no accidents."
