Chapter 448 Gwen's Origin
"Pure White Realm. There is a peak made of diamonds in the Pure White Realm. It is the pillar of the world that supports the sky and does not fall. It takes a year to climb it and another year to go around it. Every hundred years, a two-headed bird the size of a sparrow will come here, sharpen its beak twice and then fly away. When this diamond mountain is ground into a flat ground, the pillar collapses, the sky falls to the ground, and the first second of eternal life is gone."
Noila smiled, which was rare, with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes: "You have a good memory."
This is what Nora told Hughes to warn him about the horror of the extraordinary curse.
As time goes by, Nora is left with only her head but still cannot die, which truly proves the huge price of immortality, or transcendence.
It’s a pity that we can’t go back to the past.
Xiu Si was a little disappointed: "Isn't this just a legend? Besides, in the book my friend read, that person is likely to be in the Ocean of Storms. Won't there be a white disaster in the Ocean of Storms?"
Nora was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "If there is really a white disaster in the Storm Ocean, it will only be a disaster. The white disaster is unstoppable, and the White Crow Principality was destroyed because of it. If it wants to swallow up the Storm Ocean."
Hughes licked his lips, also shocked by this possibility.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. I'll ask my friend to look through the book again. Can you tell me more about the Resistance Army?"
Zeus plans to investigate the matter of the shell further. It seems that even the Silent Temple, which knows the most about the White Disaster, doesn't know much about it. This white fog is really weird and mysterious.
Compared to the white disaster that was nowhere to be found, the problem of the resistance army was more realistic. Hughes originally planned to let his mother-in-law go to investigate, but the water in the north was unexpectedly deep, and the second batch of airships and ships had to go around a big circle before they could get through. Hughes planned to find out more about it with Nora first.
"I've basically told you everything about the resistance army. Did something happen?" After saying that, Nora was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted, her voice trembling.
"You guys have been taking me to the test site to look at the Dragon Breath Cannon lately. Could it be that they are being tested in the North?"
Hughes swallowed his saliva, his brain working rapidly, thinking about how to comfort Nora who was about to go berserk.
However, Noila quickly calmed down, her expression dimmed a little: “Ask, I won’t hide it if it can help those poor people.”
Although Nora doesn't think the Resistance can survive, she's willing to help.
So she carefully recalled every detail, while Hughes quietly recorded it with a pen.
Unfortunately, the more he understood, the more Zeus sighed in his heart.
Whether in terms of organizational form or population structure, the resistance army doesn't look like it can hold on!
The first is that the militarization of the resistance was not particularly thorough.
These people were just refugees from the North. Nora simply made some work divisions and did not organize everyone into groups and manage them militaristically. On the one hand, this was because there were so many refugees that management was difficult, and on the other hand, there were actually quite a few elderly, children, women and children in the resistance army.
If they could occupy a base, perhaps these people would be able to demonstrate their advantages in development. But at present, the environment in the North is very dangerous, and Nora is not here, so they may not have the opportunity to develop peacefully.
The second reason is that the resistance forces are outsiders and it is difficult for them to obtain reinforcements in the North.
Although they are all from the North to Castel, most of the resistance forces are from the Duchy of White Crow, and are mainly White Crow people with white hair and white eyes. The people of the four northern territories are mostly Highlanders, with light blond hair and eyebrows. Alexei has a typical northern appearance.
There are also differences within the northern border.
In addition to the difference in race, what is even more terrible is that the beliefs are different. The White Crow people are believers of the Temple of Silence. The White Crow Principality is also a country with integrated politics and religion, while the northern border is governed by the Candlelight Society. The two sides are in opposition with the Canary Mountains as the border.
According to Hughes' experience, it should be difficult for the resistance to gain support in the North.
The battle is all about logistics and supplies. Without support, you are like a candle in the wind.
Although she didn't say it out loud, Nora vaguely felt what Xius was thinking, and her expression became even darker.
"That's the main situation. Although the possibility is small, Gwen may be able to help them find a way out."
Hughes's pen stopped.
He raised his head little by little and stared at Nora: "You just said. Gwen?"
"Yes, she will probably take over the resistance after I die."
"Tell me more about this Gwen."
Although Nora was a little confused, she nodded.
"no problem."
"I was originally a farm girl. I may have had some happy times when I was a child, but that was too far away and I can no longer remember it."
Gwen took the branch and scratched the ground unconsciously.
"Then there was a war and my parents went out to look for food and never came back. Fortunately they left me a lot of food so I could stay in the house for a long time."
"You stayed here until the food ran out?" Isaac asked curiously.
"How could that be? I saw that there was not much food left, so I stuffed the last few biscuits into my clothes, ran out, and then wandered all the way to here." Gwen shrugged. "It's a boring story, right?"
Isaac thought for a moment and said, "That should have been the war between the Empire and the White Crows, right?"
The Empire and the White Crows fought only once, and after finding that the Silent Temple was difficult to conquer with muskets, they quickly signed an agreement to leave the North and open up a battlefield in the West.
"Well, it should be. I was just a little girl at that time. Several years have passed in a flash. I didn't expect that even the White Crows would be extinct."
"Didn't you think of heading south at that time? I remember the white disaster has been getting worse and worse since a few years ago."
"I didn't understand these things at that time. I didn't have any friends, and no one could give me advice. Everyone in the village fled, so I followed them. Later, I met the priest of the Church of Silence, and I never went back to that small village."
Gwen looked a little dazed. "I don't know what's going on there now. Maybe only ruins are left. But I heard that it was later included in the Empire, and a church of the Candlelight Society was built there. Maybe if I hadn't left then, I would have become a citizen of the Empire now."
"Ha, being a citizen of the Empire is not that easy. The North has never been peaceful since then. Later, the Queen granted border earls, and Bazel came here and turned the entire North upside down." Isaac curled his lips. "If you went to White Crow, there was only that one war. In the Empire, there are wars every day."
"But why? Isn't the empire very powerful? Isn't their queen very wise? Why are people still suffering?"
