A huge troop was slowly advancing on the grassland. In the endless grassland that had been dyed white by the snow, this troop was as conspicuous as a louse on a bald head.
But at this time, there were basically no people on the prairie. The prairie in winter was terrible. Cold winds, torrential rain, wolves, these were the most terrible things on the prairie in winter.
Beastmen rarely left their camps during winter, this was especially true for small groups of beastmen. But the number of beastmen in this group was really large, more than five hundred thousand. Although the snowy prairie wasn't very good to travel on, these people didn't stop.
If one looked carefully, they would find that this group of beastmen weren't all young and strong, there were also a lot of old people, children, and women. It was as if a large tribe was moving.
This group was the Herculean Bull tribe. This time, it wasn't just the two hundred thousand young warriors of the Herculean Bull tribe who followed, but all of them.
There was a saying in the prairie, "If a beastman is taller than a wheel, as long as he hasn't breathed his last, then he is dangerous." This was enough to explain the fighting strength of the beastmen. Some of the older beastmen were even more difficult to deal with than the younger ones. This was because they had been through hundreds of battles. Although their strength couldn't be compared to the younger ones, don't forget that their experience was something that the younger ones couldn't compare to.
The women of the Herculean Bull tribe were also not easy to deal with. Although they didn't learn any beast soul skills, they were still Herculean Bull tribe women. They were born with divine strength, and were in the prime of their lives. Their strength wasn't worse than an ordinary 4th rank human warrior. This was the most frightening aspect of the beastmen.
This time, the Herculean Bull tribe went all out. Now in their tribe, there weren't any young children or old people. This was because all the children and old people couldn't escape from the hands of the Fighting Bulls. They were now slaves. In this case, Wales decided that the entire tribe would go out. This battle must be won, otherwise the Herculean Bull tribe would rather die.
Zhao Hai and the others were in the group, but they were in their carriages and not on their mounts. Their carriages were covered with sheepskin, this was because Laura and the others were afraid of the cold.
Actually, as soon as they got into the car and closed the door, Zhao Hai and Laura entered the Space. They didn't suffer outside. After entering the Space, Laura and Meg immediately went to the villa's kitchen and made some hot tea before bringing it to the living room.
Laura drank a cup of hot cocoa and felt a bit better. She put down the cup and sighed, "It's better to be inside the Space. I thought I would freeze to death outside."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Is it that cold? I feel pretty good. It's not too cold. "
Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, didn't you live in the Imperial Capital before? You should be more resistant to the cold than me. How come you don't seem to be cold at all? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "You forgot, you gave me this magic equipment. It's not cold, hehe."
In fact, this was only one of the reasons. Zhao Hai himself was more resistant to the cold than Laura, but Laura believed his words. She nodded and said, "That's good. I was really afraid that you would be cold. Your body isn't good, if you get sick, it would be very troublesome."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Don't worry, my body is very good. I drink the Liquid of Life every day. If I get sick, I'm afraid there won't be any good people."
While Zhao Hai and the others were chatting and laughing inside the space, Wales and the others weren't having a good time outside. Their bodies were wrapped in sheepskin, and even their mounts were wrapped in sheepskin. Everyone had a wineskin in their arms, and the necks of the wineskins were exposed. As long as they felt cold, they could lower their heads and suck the wine into their stomachs. The wine was still warm, and when it entered their stomachs, it made them feel warm, so they could feel a bit better.
Marching in winter was the biggest test for the beastmen. It required great endurance and incomparable tenacity. Fortunately, Wales and the others were well prepared, so nothing happened.
Unlike the cold in the prairie, Fort Iron Mountain didn't feel too cold. People were even wearing unlined clothing. Zhao Hai and the others had already returned to Fort Iron Mountain when winter came. But at that time, Fort Iron Mountain didn't have any signs of winter. The grass was still green, it was like a completely different world compared to the prairie.
Zhao Hai knew that the reason why Fort Iron Mountain became like this was because of the ring-shaped iron mountains. So the cold of the prairie hadn't reached Fort Iron Mountain yet. Also, it was because of Cai 'er. Cai' er could release heat during winter, so Fort Iron Mountain's temperature was very warm.
Zhao Hai didn't need to worry about Fort Iron Mountain, so he could focus his attention on the prairie. Compared to Fort Iron Mountain, Wales needed help more.
After a day of arduous travel, Wales and the others stopped when the sky was about to turn dark. Everyone started to set up their tents and prepared to rest. But they didn't need to worry about dinner because they had steaming hot mutton to eat at night.
This was also Zhao Hai's idea. He told Wales that if the cooked mutton was put away, it would still be hot when it was taken out. Even the mutton soup was the same. As long as the soup was put into the space, it would still be hot when it was taken out.
After hearing Zhao Hai's words, Wales and the others immediately changed their method of preparing the rations. After they cooked the mutton, they immediately had Zhao Hai put away the soup along with the meat. This way, when Zhao Hai took it out, they would be able to eat hot mutton and drink steaming hot soup. What could make people happier than this in the winter?
Therefore, after the camp was built, Zhao Hai immediately went to deliver food to everyone. This wasn't an easy job. One must know that the entire camp had more than 500 thousand people, and Zhao Hai was busy enough to deliver food to everyone.
However, Zhao Hai didn't complain. He knew that these beastmen had been on the road for a day, and now they were cold and hungry. Therefore, Zhao Hai didn't let them out of their tents. Instead, he let them stay in their tents while he delivered the food to them.
Now that they were going to war, they couldn't be like before, where they were divided into families. Instead, they were divided into men and women. Each tent had 20 people, and the men and women were separated.
In order to avoid accidents, the tents weren't lit. Everyone was wrapped in sheepskin to sleep. However, after eating the hot mutton and drinking the soup, they felt a lot warmer.
When Zhao Hai delivered the mutton and soup, he also delivered fodder for their mounts. These were prepared by Wales and the others in advance, and Zhao Hai put them into the space.
These Herculean Bulls were now very fond of Zhao Hai. When they went to war before, they didn't receive such treatment. Now, as long as they had Zhao Hai, all logistical problems would be solved.
Wales and the others were always by Zhao Hai's side. From time to time, Wales would ask about the current situation of his clansmen. This kind of behavior made the clansmen very moved. It could be said that Wales now had the hearts of his clansmen in his hands.
Because they had to travel during the day, they could only eat two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. Almost all of the time during the day was used to travel, and almost no one got down from their mounts.
This kind of traveling method was definitely a kind of torture for Zhao Hai. If he were to travel like this, he didn't know if he would be able to persevere. This also made Zhao Hai see the tenacity of the beastmen.
After giving out the meals to all the Herculean Bulls, Zhao Hai and the others gathered in Wales' tent. They hadn't eaten yet, and their dinner was similar to the Herculean Bulls', mutton and soup.
Wales drank a mouthful of mutton soup and let out a long breath, "With Little Hai following us, we're really happy. How could we be so relaxed in the past?"
Kony smiled and said, "Isn't that so? Not to mention the winter, even when we went out to war in the summer, it wasn't much better than now."
At this time, Yale frowned and said, "But our current problem is that we have too little time to travel every day. We have to pack up our tents in the morning and set them up at night. In addition to the fact that it's winter, the sky gets dark early and the sun rises late in the morning, leaving us with not much time to travel. Now that it's snowing, the distance we travel every day is really too short."
Wales also put down his mutton soup bowl and frowned. He didn't have any good ideas right now. If it was summer, they wouldn't need to set up a tent, they could just use a sheepskin to pass the night on the prairie. But it was impossible in the winter, if they did that in the winter, they would only freeze to death.
Zhao Hai looked at Wales and said, "Brother, let's do it this way. When you wake up tomorrow morning, don't take care of the tents, just go forward and I'll pack them up. I'll put them into the space and take them out at night. What do you think?"
Wales stared and said, "How are you going to dismantle the tents by yourself?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "If you can't dismantle them, then don't dismantle them. Just put them into the space, isn't that fine?" Actually, the tents were already in Zhao Hai's space. But when it was time to rest at night, Zhao Hai would take them out and then Wales would set up the tents.
But now it seems that dismantling and setting up the tents was a waste of time. Zhao Hai could only put the tents into the space.
Wales stared and said, "It can be put in?"
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "I don't know yet. If it can be put in, then it would be the best. That way, we can save a lot of time. Let's try it out yesterday."
Wales nodded and said, "Alright, let's try it out. If it really works, then we can have more time to hurry on our way."
Mendez said, "According to our current speed, it would take us about half a month to reach the headquarters. Little Hai, did you let the Blood Hawks see that the Fighting Bulls are all in the headquarters?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "They're all there. Sixth Brother can rest assured. Now they're just like the other tribes, they don't leave the camp during winter."
