Translator: 549690339
Year 7286 of the Great Zhou Royal Calendar.
Li Yueming had been in North Glacier Town for three years.
After the initial discomfort, the Starmoon Troop had already gained a firm foothold in this cold land.
After three years of expansion, the population of Northern Ice River Town, which originally had more than 10,000 households, had already approached 100,000.
With such a large number of disaster victims, even if they came to Northern Ice River Town, they would not be able to eat their fill for the time being.
However, compared to the famine in the other cities and towns in the North, the famine was not a big deal.
There was at least one Northern Ice River in Northern Ice River Town that could be used for fishing.
With the many wild vegetables and fish soup that grew in the early spring, although the commoners were still not full, they did not have to worry too much about starving to death.
As for how long it would take for the disaster year to pass.
The Great Zhou did not know, and neither did the Northlands.
Years of cruel wars were always cold.
human lives are as cheap as grass.
To be able to struggle at death’s door and keep one’s life, one could already burn incense and pray to Buddha.
However, just as the citizens were working hard to take root in Northern Ice River Town.
However, something unexpected happened.
It was midsummer in the North, and the temperature should be able to reach a dozen degrees Celsius for a short period of time. Most of the snow that had been silent for a long time in the past would melt.
But this year, there was a rare anomaly.
During the midsummer season, the Northlands did not warm up. Instead, it suddenly became even colder than winter.
After discovering this phenomenon, the natives who lived in Northern Ice River Town all year round were all on guard.
Everyone packed their luggage while burying the treasures and tools that were inconvenient to carry in the caves that each family had dug in advance.
He hurriedly finished all of this and prepared to leave with his bag.
After seeing Li Yueming, a native hurriedly said, “”General Li, there’s a phenomenon in the world. I reckon that the spirit beast tide will arrive in less than two days. Quickly organize our men to retreat!”
Li Yueming also felt this abnormal phenomenon.
From the information he had, every time the weather was abnormal, there would be a huge wave of spirit beasts in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
At that time, tens of millions of Spirit Beasts would rush out from the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
He had to avoid the extreme weather in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The spirit beast tide usually came once every ten years or so, so it was probably about time now.
However, Li Yueming was obviously not prepared to leave, so he rejected the suggestion of the aborigines and replied, ‘”‘The Star Moon Army is stationed here not only to defend against the Qin army, but also to suppress the spirit beast tide. Now that the tide is coming, we naturally have no reason to retreat!”
Hearing Li Yueming’s strong and righteous words.
The native of Northern Ice River Town was dumbfounded.
He looked at Li Yueming from head to toe, as if he had gotten to know this young general in front of him again.
Initially, they thought that Li Yueming was joking when he said that he would be a permanent resident!
After all, the spirit beast tide was vast and mighty, and no one knew what kind of trouble it would cause.
Northern Ice River Town did not have a city wall to defend itself. If the number of spirit beasts exceeded the army’s ability to defend, the entire town would be at risk of being trampled by the spirit beasts at any time.
Who knew that Li Yueming wasn’t joking.
Were they really prepared to lead by example and resist the spirit beast tide?
Although this sounded a bit absurd, in general, this local citizen had to give Li Yueming a thumbs up in his heart.
After all, when the spirit beast tide opened.
The spirit beasts in the Hundred Thousand Mountains were endless.
As long as one’s brain was still normal, anyone would probably choose to avoid it. No one would want to have a conflict with a group of crazy beasts.
In this day and age.
There were many soldiers who bullied the people.
However, it was extremely rare to see an army like Li Yueming and his Starmoon Troop that could truly help ordinary people.
Regardless of whether this decision was wise or not, at least Li Yueming’s initial intentions were good.
The news of the upcoming spirit beast wave and the Starmoon Troop not preparing to retreat and staying behind to guard Northern Ice River Town had just spread.
Everyone in Northern Ice River Town was boiling with excitement.
When everyone heard the news, their first reaction was disbelief.
However, when Li Yueming’s instructions and the subsequent arrangements were written in black and white in the ‘decree notice room’, the group of people could only believe it no matter how hard they could not believe it.
For a moment, many people felt that their horizons had been broadened today.
The Star Moon Army was still acceptable to them. Even if the soldiers were short on food, they had never mistreated them.
Therefore, a group of people wanted to go to Li Yueming and explain the situation.
After all, in their opinion, Li Yueming’s move was not a good one. However, no matter how much they persuaded him, he would not be able to escape.
Li Yueming’s determination to lead the army to defend this place had never wavered.
The group of residents could only sigh helplessly when they saw that they could not move.
As they discussed, the residents quickly began to feel anxious.
After all, the spirit beast tide was no small matter.
If he didn’t handle it well, it would be a light punishment for his family to be destroyed.
He had to pack his luggage and go somewhere in the south to hide as soon as possible.
Many residents decided to pack up and flee south overnight.
After a period of time, the beast tide in Northern Ice River Town would end before returning to Northern Ice River Town.
Li Yueming didn’t stop them from leaving.
In fact, he couldn’t stop it. After all, these matters concerned the life and death of many people’s families. As long as Li Yueming didn’t put a knife on the necks of the residents of Northern Glacier Town, it was impossible to stop them from escaping in large numbers..
