Chapter 554 The Death of Yarna
The word "read" brings an endless sense of humiliation to Yarna.
This is not a reply, but a naked disregard.
Sunaifa’s meaning is very simple.
Your defense, your compensation, your historical friendship....
It is of no use to say so much, just do it and be done with it.
The truth is only between the soft and hard fists.
When the gap in strength is so huge, if I still argue with you, are you stupid or do you think I am stupid?
Of course, the answer is already obvious.
The one who is stupid is naturally Ya Erna.
凛冬之锤驻地之中,大长老神色肃穆地与娅尔娜汇报导:
「战母,苏奈法已经带着军队从菲尼克斯出发了。」
娅尔娜默不作声地点了点头。
"War Mother, do we really want to give up this territory?" In the silence, the Great Elder said bravely, with a trace of reluctance in his voice.
This settlement has been managed by Winter's Hammer for dozens of generations and is their home. Every inch of the land is soaked with the sweat of the tribe.
They were born and raised here, and have already developed a strong affection for this land.
"Otherwise, Great Elder, do we really have to wait here to die?" Yaerna gave the Great Elder a warning look, her tone as cold as the cold wind in the snowfield.
Yarna is "stupid", but not completely stupid.
She certainly knew that if Winter's Hammer officially started a war with the Zhenbing Tribe, it would have no chance of winning.
Fights that have no chance of winning are fought by fools.
The previous letter of negotiation was just an attempt, an attempt that she did not have much hope for.
Her real purpose was to try to buy more time for herself through this move.
In her opinion, even if Sunaifa disdains her negotiations, he still has to go back and forth for one or two rounds, right?
Kyarna never expected that Sunaifa’s reply would be so dismissive.
This made her realize that Sunaifa no longer regarded her as a person of the same level.
And this is also true.
·Yarna quickly recognized the current situation, quickly adjusted her mentality, and began to decide to act according to the original plan.
If you beat him, you will definitely not be able to beat him.
, that is also impossible.
Excluding these two paths, there was actually only one way left in front of her:
Escape.
The whole family moved.
Although she is very reluctant to part with this station that has been operated for decades, including various facilities that have been relatively complete, under the current situation, she has no choice.
In the north, the ups and downs of tribes are actually quite normal.
"Back then, we in Winter's Hammer almost fell to the point of annihilation, but that time we survived and mastered the power of fire.
This time, we are still the same. We are just leaving temporarily, and we will come back one day." Faced with the silence of the great elder, Yarna paused, and finally spoke to comfort him.
Her voice was still a little hoarse, but unusually firm.
"Crisis may not be able to turn into a turning point."
"We are forced to move our entire clan this time, and perhaps we can also usher in a new turning point for the tribe."
"War Mother, I understand what you mean. One day, our Winter Hammer will come back, not in our generation, but in the next generation, the next generation..." The great elder was both responding to Yarna and convincing himself.
"That's exactly it." Yarna affirmed, regardless of whether she was deceiving herself or others.
After receiving the news that the Zhenbing tribe wanted to send troops to launch the Hammer of Winter, Yarna gathered all the elders in the tribe and discussed the decision to relocate the entire tribe.
As for the previous letter of negotiation and the gathering of troops to resist, they were all staged for the outside world to see, and they were a cover-up.
Because for a large tribe like Winter's Hammer, relocating the entire tribe is not as simple as moving and can be done in an afternoon.
They need time to organize supplies, time to determine the migration route, and more time to cover up their true intentions to avoid being detected by Phoenix spies.
Among the things that need to be taken away, the most important things are the various tools, various "equipment" that have been built over the years, and the various precious ores that have been collected.
"Time is running out. Tonight is the last chance to evacuate. Preparations for evacuation must be completed before midnight and then set off overnight. As for those that cannot be taken away or have no time to pack up, just destroy them." Yarna said.
As for the large "equipment" that cannot be taken away, such as the forging furnace, Ya Erna will definitely not leave it to the Zhenbing tribe.
It should be said that nothing useful is going to be left behind.
The Great Elder nodded in agreement, and was about to turn around to convey the order, but was stopped by Yarna: "Wait a minute."
Yarna's voice suddenly became extremely calm, but it revealed a chilling cruelty: "There are also those elderly people and injured tribesmen with limited mobility. They can't keep up with the speed of migration and will drag down the entire tribe - just stay here, there is no need to take them away." < br/>
"Sunaifa cherishes his reputation very much. These tribesmen will definitely survive if they stay."
The great elder suddenly confirmed, but he said nothing. He just nodded solemnly, opened the tent curtain and walked out.
Yarna also walked out of the tent and looked up at the sky outside.
The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the dark clouds are like heavy black cloth, making people breathless.
It looks like there will be another snowstorm tonight.
This is not a good weather for migration and will make the journey difficult.
Hime tribe members may get frostbite, get lost, or even lose their lives in the wind and snow.
But she has no choice.
What's more, the weather is not completely bad.
At least this kind of weather can cover their whereabouts well.
The sky gradually darkened, as if it was soaked in ink.
In the Winter's Hammer camp, it was "brightly lit."
Various lighting spells such as [Fire Light Technique] and [Dancing Lantern Technique] were cast. The firelight illuminated the entire station, but it could not dispel the panic in the air.
It was already the last moment, so Yarna didn't have to worry about whether the news was revealed or not. She bluntly announced her decision to migrate as a whole to her tribe, so that they could be ready to go in the shortest possible time.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a commotion among the tribesmen who were not yet aware of it.
"Migrate? Where are we going?"
"Aren't we going to fight the Zhenbing tribe to the end?"
But under the tribal system, the prestige of the War Mother is still very high.
So, although many people have different ideas, even if they know that the road ahead is uncertain, they can only choose to obey. They still follow the instructions subconsciously and start packing their luggage and preparing to move.
Yarna was flying in the air, her eyes scanning the panicked tribesmen below, but there was no wave in her heart.
As a ruler, indifference is a basic quality in her opinion.
It's just that, for some reason, Ya Erna always felt an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness in her heart.
It was like a thin needle tingling her nerves.
It was at this moment that Yarna's pupils suddenly shrank, her eyes fixed on a certain direction in the night.
After a moment of silence, she spoke with difficulty: "If I said that what happened back then was just a misunderstanding, would you believe it?"
Yarna's voice had an imperceptible tremor.
The thing she was most worried about happened.
In the direction where Yarna's eyes were locked, there was originally a dark night sky, but at this moment, there was a light blue halo, slowly emerging from the darkness, with a breathtaking sense of oppression.
The light blue halo gradually became clearer, revealing a tall figure.
Hunting an ice bow on his back, Sunaifa, his long hair fluttering in the night wind, looked at Yarna expressionlessly.
After hearing Ya Erna's words, she shook her head slowly, without any wavering in her eyes.
Yarna’s elaborate deceptions such as “negotiation delay” and “military posturing” failed to deceive Sunaifa.
In fact, Sunaifa's idea is very simple. Judging from the results, with the strength of Winter Hammer, it cannot be defeated or surrendered. The only option is to escape.
Although Gothe said that population and talents are the most precious resources, other external resources should not be cherished.
But if you have the choice, you must still want them all.
Winter's Hammer has been operating for so many years, and the "infrastructure" of the station has been extremely complete. Sunaifa definitely hopes to take over the operation intact.
Based on her understanding of Ya Erna, she clearly understood that the other party would definitely not be willing to leave these things to Zhen Bing.
So after setting off with the tribe's large army, Sunaifa left the group alone and rushed towards the Hammer of Winter as quickly as possible.
As expected, he happened to bump into Yarna, who was about to burn all the belongings in the clan that could not be taken away, and then evacuate.
“What will it take for you to let go of our Hammer of Winter?” Yarna’s voice was full of final struggle. Her hand holding the sledgehammer was slightly hard, and her knuckles turned white.
She would never dare to confront Sunaifa head-on unless she was desperate.
The last time she joined forces with the War Mother of the Frostwolf clan, they were easily defeated by Sunaifa. Now that she is alone, her chances of winning are even slimmer.
ifies the people of Winter's Hammer by leaving them alive, and we will take them under the devil's control�
Sunaifa's voice was light but filled with undoubted power, "In Phoenix, they can have enough to eat, wear warm clothes, and have a stable life, which is no worse than following you. "
"Sunaifa, I, the Hammer of Winter, have a deep connection with your Zhenbing tribe in ancient times. Do you really want to kill them all and take my life today?" Yarna's face turned pale.
But when the words came out of her mouth, even she felt pale and weak.
"Anyone who rebels against my king shall pay with his life." Sunaifa expressed his attitude.
This sentence was like a sharp blade, completely cutting off Yarna's last fantasy.
Sunaifa was determined to kill her, not only for the ambush at the beginning of the year, but also for the prestige of Phoenix, and to clear the way for the unification of the northern territory.
Yarna took a deep breath, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes: "Are you really going to kill the fish and lose the net?"
"Haha..." Sunaifa chuckled.
The fish will definitely die.
The network is broken?
That's not the case.
The moment the laughter floated in the wind, Sunaifa had already taken off the [Blizzard]. She held the bow with her left hand and pulled the string with her right hand.
The magic power of Zhenbing gathered on the bow string, and instantly condensed into a crystal clear Arrow of Zhenbing.
Yarna looked at this scene, her face twitched slightly, and her eyelids twitched.
She actually felt that Sunaifa's aura was stronger than the last time they fought.
The fluctuation of mana was steady and heavy, like an endless ice field, making her breathless.
At this time, Yaerna actually felt a trace of regret in her heart.
Is it the best choice to make Gao De the king like the Zhenbing tribe?
Sunaifa didn’t care what Yarna was thinking, whether she was feeling regretful or not.
The moment the Perfect Ice Arrow condensed, with the sound of the bow string collapsing, the arrow was like a stream of light, carrying an astonishing chill, and shot towards Yarna.
Yarna immediately took out the sledgehammer from her waist and injected mana into her body.
A flame shot forward, like a tornado or a big snake, opening its bloody mouth and rushing towards the Arrow of Perfect Ice.
The moment the flames collided with the ice, there was a loud "zilla" sound.
The fire snake twisted and struggled violently, but under the coldness of the Perfect Ice Arrow, it melted and shattered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into wisps of blue smoke and dissipated in the night sky.
It’s not a feeling, it’s true!
Sunaifa has really become stronger again!
Yarna’s heart sank to the bottom.
Just less than a year has passed.
Why is Sunaifa’s progress so rapid?
In an instant, various thoughts flashed through Yarna's mind.
But her thoughts quickly returned.
Because the current hurdle has not been passed yet.
With no time to respond, Yarna could only hold the sledgehammer in front of her as a shield.
The Arrow of Perfect Ice hit the sledgehammer, and with a clear clicking sound, it suddenly shattered into little ice fragments.
The sledgehammer was stained by a thin layer of ice, and Yarna was forced to retreat several meters, but the arrow was blocked by her.
“The Yang family’s forging technology is indeed good.” Sunaifa looked at the hammer in Yarna’s hand and nodded as if leisurely, fully affirming the Yang family’s forging technology.
"But...:" She paused and drew the bow again, and the magic power gathered on the bowstring.
What appeared between the bowstrings this time were two perfect ice arrows!
Whispering sound!
The Arrow of Perfect Ice shot towards Yarna with a harsh sound of breaking through the air, like a meteor.
This time, the speed was several times faster than before, and even the air was torn apart, forming tiny wind blades.
The light blue cold air dragged out a half-foot-long fog band at the tail of the arrow. Wherever it passed, even the falling snowflakes were instantly frozen and turned into tiny ice crystal particles, which flew forward with the momentum of the arrow.
Yarna's expression suddenly changed, she cast a spell, and at the moment when the Perfect Ice Arrow was about to arrive, her figure suddenly disappeared like a flicker of light.
However, something unexpected happened to her.
Her body moved shimmeringly, and just as she regained her footing, her pupils suddenly shrank, and her heart seemed to be rubbed tightly by a cold hand.
The two Perfect Ice Arrows did not follow her in the aftermath!
They found the point where her figure changed in an instant, and followed her.
The trajectory was terrifyingly weird, without any sluggishness at all, as if Yarna's teleportation just pointed out a new target direction for it.
Yarna's complexion changed drastically, and she had no time to think about it because the arrow was already so close.
Yarna suddenly placed the sledgehammer in her hand across her chest, and at the same time, she poured the mana in her body into the hammer body.
The flame runes on the hammer were instantly activated, and dazzling red light shot out from the gaps in the runes.
The raging flames spread upwards along the handle of the hammer, and soon the entire sledgehammer was turned into a burning fireball. Even her arms were reflected red by the flames.
Yarna roared, and the flaming sledgehammer moved forward.
The melon flame rubs against the air, making a "pop" sound. The high temperature even causes the surrounding ice to melt slightly, forming a thin layer of hand mist.
She hopes that this last line of defense can block these two fire and ice arrows, even if it only delays you for a moment, so that she can find another chance to survive.
But the next second, she was completely desperate.
The moment when the Perfect Ice Arrow collided with the flaming sledgehammer, there was no earth-shattering sound, but only a tooth-breaking "sizzling" sound.
The extreme coldness on the arrow was like an invisible torrent, instantly crashing into the melon flame.
The originally burning melon flame shrank and darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The edge of the flame quickly condensed into ice, and as soon as the red flame tongue touched the arrow body, it was frozen into tiny melon stars, which fell on the ice field and were extinguished instantly.
But in the blink of an eye, the melon flame on the sledgehammer disappeared without a trace.
Only the body of the hammer was turned white by the cold, and the surface was covered with a thick layer of ice.
An even more biting chill has crept into Yarna's arms along the handle of the hammer.
It was not an ordinary cold, but a deathly cold that devoured all life. It instantly penetrated into her pores and spread along the blood vessels throughout her body.
"No————. It's impossible——" Yarna wanted to scream, but found that her throat was frozen by the cold air, and she could only make a "
" weak sound.
Yarna's body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Not out of fear, but because the extreme cold made her muscles spasm.
She could feel that her body temperature was dropping rapidly, and her skin turned from pale to purple, then to a bloodless pale white, and finally it had a faint sheen of ice crystals.
Sunai was still standing in the distance, looking at all this calmly, as if observing something that was bound to happen.
The next moment, the chill finally reached Ya Erna's heart.
His heart suddenly stopped beating after a sudden contraction.
