Chapter 698 The Great Army to the North

is already the early winter season, but at this time of noon, the temperature is still as high as 30 degrees. The temperature difference between day and night is very large, which is a climatic feature of the new era. Although it is about 30 degrees now, the temperature will drop to about 5 degrees below zero at night. Over time, when winter really comes, the temperature difference will narrow, but the temperature will be much colder than now.

The average temperature during the day is very close to zero, and in the middle of the night, the temperature will even drop to minus 20 or 30 degrees. Without enough heating and food, life will be difficult to survive a cold winter.

Like the Central Continent, most cities appear in the form of underground bases, which is conducive to isoling the cold. In the western continent, there are obviously not so many underground bases. But every big city will inevitably have a perfect heating system, which can ensure that people stay safely in their homes in winter. Naturally, such benefits are not available in every city. Except for New Rome, only a few other important cities will be equipped with such a system.

As for other places, only the most primitive heating methods can be used without a heating system. Wood and fuel are all necessary for winter, and many families will begin to stockpile fuel, food and water in autumn. Then when the cold winter comes, they will hide at home. Just like animals hibernate, what people do every day is to eat and sleep.

Of course, many people are unable to reserve enough materials. For example, the outer islands with harsh conditions have always been the place with the highest number of casualties every winter.

Humans must prepare early for winter, and so must animals.

Just like now, a red wolf was chasing the striped sheep, and the two animals moved quickly in the bushes and ran onto the highway. In the end, the red wolf was superior, and it bit the striped sheep to death.

These two animals are new species on the western continent. During the great purge of foreign beasts in the dark era, many strong mutant beasts on the continent died. However, some weak beasts have gradually evolved into a mode of adapting to the continental environment. However, perhaps the great purge in the Pope's Hall left a deep impression on animals, so these later species seemed very slow in the process of evolution, and the direction of evolution was mainly to adapt to the environment, reducing aggressive evolution.

This may also be out of self-protection from too aggressive evolution, which leads to the second sweep of the Pope's Hall.

Red wolves and striped wolves are new species after the Great Purge. Redwolves are close relatives of coyotes, but their physique is stronger. An adult red wolf is the size of a lion, and they are agile and cruel. Red wolves have more or less the affinity of fire elements, which makes their hair always red and can spew three hundred flames.

It's just that the ability to breathe flames is also a huge burden for them, and each breath consumes their huge energy. Generally speaking, the red wolf is better at using its agility and sharp teeth and claws to cause damage to its prey.

They are relatively powerful beasts in the western continent and have few natural enemies. It's just that the reproductive ability of red wolves has seriously deteriorated, and the whole continent has not added up to 3,000. This species can only maintain its own existence.

The spotted sheep are red wolves and even animals that humans like. They are natural foods. The fur of striped sheep can keep warm. Their muscles are rich in protein, and their calories and nutrients are quite high. More importantly, these grass-eating animals have a high reproductive ability, which is the opposite extreme as the red wolf.

Bite the prey to death, and the red wolf is preparing to drag it back to his nest. Coupled with this striped sheep, it stores enough food for its family to spend the winter. A gust of wind blew from the north of the road, with some complex smells. The red wolf is very intelligent, so it can easily distinguish the smell of gasoline and gunpowder in the wind.

The thick meat pad under the limbs also felt a vibration, indicating that something was approaching in front of the highway. The red wolf stood up very alertly. It looked at the body of its prey and finally had to bear the pain and leave it alone. The red wolf ran away from the highway like a stream of fire, and it plunged into the bushes. Using the bush as a cover, it calmly hid its body, and then a pair of wolf eyes looked out.

On the horizon at the northern end of the highway, a large truck jumped out of the horizon. Its engine made a strong sound, and the wheels of the truck rolled across the road and quickly drove near the bushes where the red wolf was hiding. In the pupils of the red wolf, the carriage of the truck was full of two rows of soldiers. Following one truck after another from the highway at the north end, they formed a torrent of steel rolling through.

This red wolf has also wandered to the suburbs of human cities. It knows that those large iron blocks can carry humans to move quickly on the ground. But the red wolf has never seen so many cars, and the number is so large that it can hardly be seen. The red wolf squatted there and dared not move, and the traffic in front of him had lasted for half an hour without stopping.

If the wisdom of the red wolf is higher, it can estimate much more. The car dragon stretches for several kilometers. Tens of thousands of soldiers in this car add up!

The truck finally passed, but another monster appeared in the eyes of the red wolf.

Red wolves have never seen such iron. They are shorter than the truck in front of them and do not walk on wheels. There was an iron pipe surrounded above the iron blocks. Looking at the iron pipe, the red wolf felt extremely uneasy. With the wisdom of the red wolf, he could not understand what an artillery tank was, but instinctively sensed the danger on this human war weapon.

After the truck, it is the tank phalanx. Behind the artillery tank are missile armored vehicles, followed by three heavy tractors. Every car passed by, shaking the earth and moaning. On these three tractors, the red wolf saw giants!

The giant lay quietly on the trailer behind the tractor, with a metal-like body, shining in the midday light that frightened the red wolf. The red wolf lay himself on the ground. Only in this way can it slightly reduce its fear.

It sees the Knights of the Round Table in the Holy See, which represents the top technological crystallization of the Western Continent that makes the primitive animal, the red wolf, instinctively fear.

It was not easy to wait for the team to leave, but the red wolf found that he did not have the strength to stand up. It squatted there for a moment before gasping away from the bush. It returned to the place where it had bitten its prey before, and the body of the striped sheep turned into a puddle of mud under the car dragon tire that had just passed. The red wolf sobbed sadly, and then grass bit a few mouthfuls of blood before leaving the highway.

It came to a hillside not far from the highway. Looking far away, the convoy, like a black dragon, winding across the ground and heading south.

It was not until the evening that the black dragon stopped its pace.

The motorcade stopped in a plain area and occupied a vast highland to set up a temporary camp. The soldiers in the car quickly got out of the car and carried out their own tasks. Soon, sentries appeared around the camp, and a group of five soldiers began to patrol around in case of accidents.

The vehicles are parked neatly and divided according to the model. Three marching tents were set up near the three heavy tractors. These three tents are decorated with different patterns, representing the leaders of the 2nd, 9th and 11th Legions of the Holy Seal Knights.

Yafidi came out of his tent, glanced at the nearby barracks, and then walked to Leo's tent of the 2nd Army. He was stationed at the port of Faisello and was ordered by the Pope's Office to return to Rome. He formed a group of troops with the 2nd and 9th Knights to go to Fort Cannon to suppress the pirate rebels who captured the fortress.

Oh, by the way, those guys are now calling themselves "Sea God Group". Yafidi really didn't know where their courage came from and dared to openly fight against the Pope's Hall.

It is true that Cannon Fortress has a high strategic value. In addition, the three oil well platforms under its control and the mine factories within 500 or 600 square kilometers of the surrounding three towns of Tucson also give Cannon a certain economic value.

But these together cannot be the basis for fighting against the Pope's Hall. Even if there are several high-ranking pirates, Yafidi doesn't think they can safely survive the counterattack of the Knights' Army.

The reason why they were able to win the two battles of Roaring Bay and Fort Cannon was that it was a mistake of the Pope's Office. Like now, they have gathered three legion commanders, 25,000 soldiers, hundreds of chariots and mecha. Under such a terrible fighting power, even if the enemy huddled in the Cannon Fortress, Yafidi believed that even if it was piled up, it would be enough to flatten the whole fortress.

That is the result after countless deductions, and Yafidi is convinced of it.

As for the high-level combat power, now the group army also has the strength not to lose to the opponent. Those were Leo and Frank, the two legion commanders. When Jafidi returned to the Pope's Hall, he found that these two colleagues had been promoted, and now they were all nine-level strongmen!

Just...

Yafidi looked at Leo's tent with a complex look in his eyes.

The promotion of Leo and Frank seems unusual, and the energy level they are showing now is already above Yafidi. But the breath seems very rough, and it is also difficult for the two to master the power. If you want to describe it, it's like a child carrying a cannon and looking a little powerless.

What worries Yafidi more is the mental condition of the two army commanders. From the confluence of the Pope's Hall to now, their state has been very bad.

It's pretty bad!
