Chapter 431 White Disaster
The resistance forces had no horses, which meant that the Winter Wolves were completely overwhelmed in terms of mobility. Even if they couldn't win, they could always escape.
Considering that the scout who died last time was shot by a musket, the wolf leader chose a resting position a full two hundred meters away from the woods.
At this distance, even if a group of musketeers rushed out, they would be able to react.
What's more, there are several teams on guard near the woods. They are watching there and can give you warnings immediately if there is any problem.
Foolproof.
The Winter Wolves dismounted, but did not take off their armor. Instead, they took a short rest on the spot fully equipped.
Riding a horse is very tiring, and many people just lie on the ground, ignoring the pain in their waists caused by the breastplate.
The servants accompanying the army set up pots, lit a fire and cooked food.
Pancakes, dry food, vegetables, dried meat, all kinds of ingredients are cut up and thrown into the pot. The taste is naturally nothing to say, but at least it is hot and can fill the stomach.
A bowl of hot food was a great morale booster, and the soldiers lined up to get their food.
Mali glanced at the forest not far away. There were some soldiers standing guard at the edge of the forest. The aroma of food drifted over. They glanced over here from time to time with eyes full of resentment.
Sure enough, everything is safe. What the captain said is right. This time we are here to intimidate the enemy and there will be no fighting.
Besides, he glanced at the musket hanging on his waist. Who could confront the Winter Wolf head-on, especially the entire assembled army?
He took the stewed porridge with confidence, found a stone to sit on, and held the wooden bowl to start eating.
Most of the snow on the ground had melted, leaving only a thin layer. There was some snow in the fields on both sides, but the snow on the road had been trampled into water and mixed into mud.
"Sir! Something's happening!!"
A scream startled Miley, who immediately dropped the wooden bowl, trotted towards his horse, and turned to look towards the woodland.
But there seemed to be no problem in the woods. The sentinels were still standing there, looking over here in confusion, not knowing why the commotion had occurred.
"What what?"
"What's wrong?"
"Are there any enemies? Where are they?"
"Bullshit, there's no one there, who's yelling?"
Mai Li felt a little relieved and looked at the wooden bowl he had just thrown away with some heartache. His lunch was gone just like that.
Then he raised his head angrily, wanting to see who was playing tricks on him.
He soon found it. It was a tall soldier. He still had a terrified expression on his face and was pointing forward: "That, that side! What is that!?"
Miley was stunned, and looked in the direction where his finger pointed. That was the other side! ?
In the opposite direction of the woods, there was a cloud of white mist that was expanding rapidly. As Miley watched, it had grown to the height of several stories and was falling towards this side like a wall!
"White disaster! That's white disaster!!!" Screams broke out, and the hysterical fear hit everyone's heart like a nail.
That, that was the White Disaster? The White Disaster that destroyed the entire White Crow Principality and that even the Silent Temple could not resist?
Mai Li was instantly panicked. He tried to mount the horse tremblingly and it took him several attempts before he succeeded.
All they could hear was screaming, and the officers tried to give orders, but no one listened - they couldn't hear clearly.
The sudden and terrible disaster instantly threw the already highly tense army into chaos.
But fortunately, they are cavalry, and even if they flee in all directions, they will not be caught up. Next, the officers only need to slowly gather the remnants, and there will not be any particularly heavy losses.
As for the baggage and the vassal army, who cares? Mai Li couldn't think so much. There was only one word in his mind: escape! He rode on his horse, regardless of any orders or friendly troops, and immediately fled in the direction away from the white fog.
But after running a few steps, he suddenly froze.
There is woodland ahead.
The Winter Wolf had camped not far from the woods, and the white mist appeared from the opposite direction of the woods. He subconsciously ran to the other side and naturally plunged into the woods.
Milley immediately realized that something was wrong. He changed direction and tried to rush out along the edge of the woods and the fog, but the fog expanded too quickly and he could no longer see the edges on either side.
Hearing the howling of ghosts and wolves behind him, Miley gritted his teeth and rode his horse straight into the woods! He was not the only one who rushed into the woods. Most of the winter wolves were only concerned with escaping and entered the woods unknowingly. After all, the resistance army was easy to deal with, but the white disaster behind them was deadly!
No one can explain what the white disaster is.
It seems that this strange fog has been coming from the North for as long as records have been kept.
Anyone who goes in for a period of time will disappear, no matter if they are mortals or extraordinary people. If they delay for a little while, they will never be seen again.
The White Crow Principality and the Temple of Silence tried almost everything, but were unable to deal with it. This white mist was like some kind of natural phenomenon. It did not care about how humans reacted, but simply swallowed up everything it covered.
People therefore call it the White Disaster.
Every few years, a white disaster occurs. This fog seems to come from the north and spread all the way to the south.
No one knows where it comes from. To the north of the White Crow Principality is an endless ice field, and no living creature can set foot there.
Fortunately, the white disaster was not spreading very quickly, and people only needed to hide to the south and return to their homeland after it dissipated.
Until this time, the white disaster enveloped the entire White Crow Principality and never dissipated.
The Temple of Silence tried every possible means, but to no avail. All they could do was to move their believers southward, and they continued to move southward until they came to the four northern regions of the empire, and then they split into two factions, one led by Nora, and the other consisting of the top leaders of the Temple of Silence, who went to the present-day empire.
As an imperial citizen, Mali had never seen the true appearance of the White Disaster, but he had heard of its great reputation since he was a child. Now he urged his horse forward with all his might.
The mist behind him spread too fast! He didn't waste much time. After the mist appeared, he immediately got on his horse and ran towards the woods.
But the distance between him and the fog was still getting closer.
Looking at the fog that was already so close behind him, Milley's chest was completely filled with fear. He screamed, galloped forward on his horse, and looked back desperately.
Unfortunately, the woodlands are not suitable for horse riding.
He kept urging the horse on, completely ignoring the complex environment on the ground. After running for a while, the horse's hoof was tripped by a tree root, and the whole horse fell to the ground. Milley's stirrup did not catch, and he was thrown out and hit a tree straight.
He fainted.
