Chapter 737: 734, Fire Nation of the Ice Plane_1

The [Segran Lester] plane, also known as the Ice Plane according to the players, is about 1/3 the size of the Main Plane.

The ruler of Ice Plane is also human, just as it is in the Main Plane.

Long ago, there weren’t any humans on the Ice Plane, only some native wild animals, somewhat similar to the dinosaur era on Blue Star.

Later, an ancient power in the Main Plane proficient in interstellar transportation discovered this plane. With a thrift mentality, they forcefully transported a group of “ancestors” to live in this plane.

The “ancestors” took root and flourished in the Ice Plane, gradually becoming the plane’s rulers due to their far superior intellect compared to the wild animals.

Even though 1/5 of the Ice Plane is covered by ice and snow, which makes it extremely cold, there are still quite a few areas near the equator with a warm climate and abundant rainfall.

...

The humans on the Ice Plane mainly live in these areas, competing for survival space and territory with other animals.

…

The largest human country in this plane is called the [Fire Nation], located near the equator, about a quarter the size of the Goldfinch Empire.

The name “Fire Nation” comes from the fanatic and obsessive worship of fire by its citizens, who believe that “fire” is the cornerstone of human survival against the winter.

“Fire” is also the totem of faith for everyone in this country.

However, the “Fire Nation” is currently far from peaceful.

In the eastern part of the Fire Nation, a massive peasant rebellion is unfolding.

The cause of the peasant rebellion is fundamentally similar to the reasons for peasant rebellions on Blue Star — the ruling group extorts and is insatiable, seizing the fruits of the common peasants’ labor and causing them to live under high pressure. The little grain that they save from a month of hard work is barely enough to feed themselves.

Once a major disaster occurs, or there is a grain shortage, the already burdensome societal system collapses in an instant.

Without food, the peasants can only take up arms (farm tools) and go out of their homes, robbing whoever has the food.

And so, the peasant rebellion starts.

…

There is a medium-sized city in the central area of the Fire Nation called [White Stone City].

White Stone City has just gone through the war caused by the peasant uprising.

The city gate of White Stone City is wide open now, and countless dead bodies are lying outside and underneath the city wall, with rivers of blood flowing.

The city is filled with the sounds of killing and looting, as well as the cries of women.

Many houses have been burnt to ashes in the raging fire.

The peasant rebellion army, dressed flamboyantly, is celebrating their victory on the city’s main street.

They hold shining weapons in their right hands and “spoils of war” stolen from the city’s residents in their left hands.

Moreover, they completely disregard the lives of the city residents, rushing to grab anything of value they see and immediately chasing after beautiful women.

At the beginning of the uprising, the peasants stood against exploitation, a just cause.

However, gradually, they lost themselves in the stolen gold and silver treasures, turning their blades against the common people like them. The dragon slayers gradually became dragons.

…

In the luxurious mansion at the center of White Stone City, the leader of the peasant rebellion army — Duke Gran·Flame — is sitting in the main seat, frowning.

Beneath him stand six trusted generals, all looking rather grim.

If people from Blue Star sees this scene, they’d certainly find it strange — Duke Gran is after all a duke, so why did he become the leader of the peasant rebellion army? Isn’t the peasant rebellion army supposed to rebel against these nobles who oppress peasants?

However, the fact is, you can’t apply the situation on Blue Star to the Fire Nation.

On Blue Star, the gaps between individuals are small. Even a beggar like Zhu Yuanzhang has the opportunity to claim the emperor’s throne;

But on the Ice Plane, it is a High-Ranking plane.

The power gap among humans on the High-Ranking plane is significant. Even if 100,000 ordinary people are armed with bows and arrows, they cannot beat a rank five power-user who can fly.

The power of numbers holds no meaning here.

Under such conditions, for a rebellion to succeed, it must receive the support of high-ranking power users.

Duke Gran, as a lord who controls a large private army with strong ambitions, has long wanted to replace the emperor.

After the peasant rebellion kicked off with a bang, he actively contacted the leaders of the peasant rebellion, using threats and lures to take them under his wing.

Furthermore, he actively propagandized himself among the peasants, offering them favorable conditions and leading the rebellion army to attack the emperor’s territories.

…

Originally, everything was going well. Duke Gran easily took over half the country and seemed to be on the verge of storming the capital and unifying the country.

However, after capture of White Stone City, a major problem arose — they were running low on food supplies and the harsh winter was approaching.

…

Duke Gran looked at the trusted aides around him, among them was the logistics chief of the army, [Hunter].

“Hunter,” Duke Gran looked at him, “how much food do we have left?”

“My lord,” Hunter knelt down on one knee and respectfully replied, “We only have enough food left for the regular army and the peasant rebellion army to eat for 40 days.

If we ration it, reducing the consumption to the lowest levels, we can barely last for one and a half months.”

“One and a half months?” Duke Gran’s frown deepened.

In the entire Ice Plane, “food” has always been a scarce resource. With the war halfway through and winter approaching, the scarcity of food resources become more apparent.

“Herman, what did we get from the food storage in White Stone City?” Duke Gran turned towards one of his generals.

“I am sorry, my lord,” General Herman knelt on one knee with a pale face.

“The Sang family in White Stone City has long been our sworn enemy. When their family was destroyed, they set fire to the food storage in White Stone City. There’s nothing left now.”

“Everything was burnt?” Duke Gran lost his composure, his face instantly turning extremely pale.

He was originally counting on capturing White Stone City, providing a breath respite for his food-starved troops.

However, instead of providing the needed respite, this turned out to make them almost “oxygen starved”!

“Gentlemen, the situation is now very serious.” Duke Gran looked seriously at the generals below, “In not too long, the ‘Extreme Winter’ lasting 4 months will arrive, and we have not stored enough food yet.

If we cannot solve the food problem within half a month, this peasant rebellion is likely to fail!”

The winter on the Ice Plane is much more terrifying than in the Main Plane and on Blue Star.

During that period, there are sub-zero temperatures of thirty to forty degrees below, waist-deep heavy snow, even in the relatively warm Fire Nation.

The severe weather makes fighting impossible. One can only store food in advance and try to survive the winter, waiting for the snow to melt and then fight in the spring.

But now their stored grain is running short, this winter might be hard to get through!
