Chapter 1322: Chapter 785: Deep into the Northern Territory_1 Chapter 1322: Chapter 785: Deep into the Northern Territory_1 By the time evening came, the surroundings of Leo Ray and his party, who had been traveling through wind and dust, were filled with frozen soil piled high with snow and mud.
Like the roar of a dragon, the northern wind howled, and the snowflakes appeared and disappeared.
Under the setting sun, the perennial permafrost was covered with a layer of orange-red color, reflecting specks of orange glow. Although the vegetation was sparse, it had a unique charm.
“Is this the Northern Territory of Coldflame Kingdom? It’s truly different from the lush green Eastern Region.”
While racing against the wind and lightning, Leo Ray couldn’t help but sigh at the desolate twilight around him.
Due to the complex terrain of the Northern Territory with snow mountains and snow forests intertwined, and the vast snowfields stretching out, even with the guidance of Ariel Watson and Elusa, who knew the Coldflame terrain well, Leo Ray chose a method of alternating between short-distance teleportation and rapid travel.
In this way, not only could he appreciate the scenery of the Northern Territory and observe the vast land more deeply, but it also wouldn’t exhaust Jasper Richardson’s magic power, who was unfamiliar with the terrain. Maintaining their best fighting strength at all times was crucial with the uncertain future ahead.
During their journey deep into the Northern Territory, Leo Ray mainly did two things.
The first was to inform various leaders and their subordinates that the threat from Saint Night had been temporarily lifted, allowing them to focus on recruiting troops and producing resources to resist the joint forces of the two princes.
The second thing was to learn about the customs of the Northern Territory from Ariel in detail, as it was, after all, a part of the Coldflame Kingdom and needed to be incorporated under his domain.
“My Lord, as I just mentioned, the vast Northern Territory has almost three times the area of the Eastern Region, but there are still only thirty main cities, and the population is even less than that of the Eastern Region,” Ariel’s crisp voice entered Leo Ray’s ear through Mind Talk.
“To the best of my knowledge, out of these thirty cities, only the ten cities closest to the Coldflame Hinterland have joined the camps of the elder and second princes,” Ariel continued.
“As for the remaining twenty cities, all of them are maintaining a neutral attitude, neither having too much interaction with my sister nor meddling in the power struggle among the princes.”
“Regarding the military strength, there are five legions under the command of my sister guarding the Unfallen Fortress, and about fifteen other legions stationed in the thirty-plus cities,” Ariel explained.
Upon hearing this, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully and said, “No wonder your elder brothers are deeply wary of the third princess. This undoubtedly means that there are about fifteen legions of undecided factors, looming over the Northern Territory Region like dark clouds.”
“My Lord’s analysis is very insightful,” Ariel sighed helplessly through Mind Talk. “The situation in the Coldflame Kingdom is turbulent, and the Northern Territory alone is divided into four forces: my sister, neutral nobles, traditional nobles, and new aristocracy. It’s quite lamentable.”
“It doesn’t matter. The more forces on this frozen land, the easier it is to conquer them one by one. If everything goes smoothly, only our banner will be flying here in the future,” Leo Ray replied with a faint smile as he looked at the boundless frozen soil around him.
“I will do my best to assist you, My Lord,” Ariel’s spirited voice resonated in Leo Ray’s ear.
“Together, you and I will be unstoppable,” Leo Ray nodded satisfactorily before asking, “Ariel, this vast Northern Territory was personally reclaimed by your father from the Pars Empire, wasn’t it?”
“Yes, My Lord, it was!” Ariel’s passionate voice immediately came through. “My father used nearly five years to successfully eliminate the Pars Empire’s minions from this land, which was once conquered by the Ancestral Hero King, and bring it back under the protection of the Coldflame Royal Family.”
“To tell you the truth, My Lord, more than a hundred years ago, when the Coldflame Kingdom was at its weakest, the Pars Empire took advantage of the situation and ruthlessly spread war and death across this frozen land.”
“They turned the people of the Northern Territory into slaves and reduced the land to scorched earth. They acted recklessly and tyrannically, casting a shadow of tyranny over this land.”
As she spoke, a mix of admiration appeared in Ariel’s voice filled with anger.
“However, the people of the Northern Territory did not submit. They held their heads high, determined to resist till the end. They were not afraid of the snow and the fierce winds, nor the enemy’s blades and whips. Even if their blood dyed the frozen land red, it would still be the proud mark of the people of the Northern Territory!”
“Although they were weak, the people of the Northern Territory never chose to bow their heads. As a result, the Pars Empire never truly owned this land, not until my father’s army arrived.”
“From then on, the sick lion that had sunk into the snow awakened completely. In its place was the bone-chilling Cold Flame Sacred Lions.”
“With the unstoppable attack of my father, the once mighty Pars Empire was defeated and utterly destroyed, as my father’s army was aided and guided by the people of the Northern Territory, and they paid the price for their atrocities.”
Hearing Ariel’s words, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully and said, “It seems that the people of the Northern Territory are indeed resilient and admirable.”
