South of the Royal Court, the border of Baibing Grassland, where the army is located.
One hundred thousand cavalry lined up neatly on the grassland, quietly waiting for something.
Of course, the Baibing Empire's huge territory cannot only have a mere 100,000 soldiers, but there are indeed only these people guarding the border now.
This is what Ulan Tu meant.
When the demon army appeared, the White Ice Empire wanted to mobilize all its troops to garrison at the border, but Ulan Tu stopped it.
The demons are very powerful in combat, and the weaker soldiers can only be used as food rations by the demons.
Instead of doing this, it is better to reduce the number of troops and select only elites to form a cavalry unit with super mobility.
Anyway, if the demons attack in a swarm regardless of the cost, even if the whole army is here, they will not be able to stop them, and at most they will die together.
A small column of hundreds of troops appeared from the horizon and slowly drove towards the military camp.
Everyone in the White Ice Empire is good at riding, and basically everyone rides when traveling, even the female family members are no exception.
On the other hand, due to the vast territory of the empire, the people of the White Ice Empire rarely move slowly when traveling.
They usually go as fast as they can to shorten the time on the road as much as possible.
However, the situation of this small army was somewhat different.
Among the nearly one hundred people, less than forty were on horseback, and the rest were all walking, and none of them wore shoes and had bare feet.
Among the troops, there are also two huge carriages.
Although they do not look particularly exquisite, the models of the carriages are indeed ridiculously large.
Each carriage requires four carefully selected horses to pull it, and it is also Unable to move quickly.
It was probably because of these two carriages that the team was unable to move forward faster.
"Hmph, what a big arrogance.
We obviously set out on the same day as you, but we arrived five days later than you.
Do they think this is a tour?"
Princess Doro said angrily before the military camp.
Strictly speaking, she belongs to a foreign race, so she has less worries .
Although other people had some such thoughts, no one dared to speak out.
"Dolo, don't say that."
Wulantu looked around with a warm smile on his face, "According to the ancient tradition of our Baibing Grassland, a successful priest should walk barefoot throughout the grassland to Enlightenment.
The two high priests did not relax their demands on the apprentices, so they came a little slowly."
There is no doubt that the slow-moving small force in front is the two high priests from the royal court, High Priest Tolan and High Priest Fuya.
These two people originally set off from the royal court at the same time as Ulan Tu, but they arrived five days later than Ulan Tu, which was indeed slow enough.
Of course, Ulantu followed someone's advice and led his troops to meet him since the day before yesterday to show respect.
Today is the third time they have done this.
After waiting for two days in vain, the soldiers may still be able to accept it, but it is difficult to say how the officers and generals who were at the front of the team with Ulan Tu and the heirs of the major tribes felt.
"That can't be like this.
When did this happen?"
Wulan Mingzhu couldn't help it anymore and whispered: "For so long in the past, the high priests never sent their apprentices out to travel.
When did this happen, demon?
They could hit us at any time, why are we still walking so slowly?
We can't wait here all day."
"That's right, we actually found two such big carriages.
When did we grassland people become like those in the south?"
Gai Lou, who had always admired Wulan Mingzhu, immediately said, with a strong disdain in his tone.
"Don't say any more, don't go too far."
Wulantu said in a more serious tone, then dismounted and was the first to greet him.
Everyone else looked at me and I looked at you.
They exchanged opinions silently, then reluctantly dismounted and followed Ulan Tu.

In fact, Ulan Tu knew very well that the reason why the two high priests wanted to ride in such a huge carriage was because they did not want people to know that Tuva, who was frozen in the ice, was coming with them.
If you change to a smaller carriage, it won't fit at all, and it won't be able to be pulled.
As for why two carriages are needed, it is impossible for two high priests, a man and a woman, to ride in the same carriage, even if they are both very old.
"High Priest Tolan, High Priest Fuya, welcome you."
Ulantu was as enthusiastic as if he had not seen the two high priests for a long time, and as always showed his excellent negotiation skills as a prince.
Except for Ulan Tu, everyone else knelt on one knee and lined up on both sides of Ulan Tu.
The status of the high priest is so high that even Wulan Mingzhu cannot show off her status as a princess.
Because Ulan Tu was the commander-in-chief of the entire army, he was on an equal footing with the high priest.
"Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness, please get up."
The huge carriage like a house stopped, and the voice of High Priest Tolan came from the carriage, but the two high priests did not show up and stayed in the carriage.
Even for a highly respected high priest, this is a very rude move.
After all, Ulantu is also the future helmsman of the empire.
It is almost an insult for someone to go out to greet you but not show up.
So after hearing these words, even the priest apprentices and knights who came with the two high priests were a little surprised, not to mention the generals who came to greet them.
The high priest's status is noble, but in their hearts they recognize Ulan Tu's leadership more.
However, Wulantu didn't mean to be offended at all.
He still smiled and took the initiative to get out of the way to let the carriage move forward.
Ulantu didn't move, and the others couldn't do anything.
They could only grit their teeth and get out of the way, watching the two huge carriages slowly enter the military camp.
Well, they certainly wouldn't know that the two high priests were not arrogant, but they didn't dare to risk others discovering what was in the carriage.
If they were allowed to see the tragic situation of the Tuva High Priest, the other High Priests would be embarrassed.
After all, they were together, and the family scandal should not be made public.
For ordinary soldiers, the high priest is still the spokesperson of the gods in their hearts, and it is not just as simple as having a high status.
The two high priests were still very flattered that they were willing to stoop down to the military camp.
But what made them slightly disappointed was that the two high priests did not show up at all.
They came to the back of the military camp and hid in the tent that had been prepared long ago, and they were closely guarded.
The soldiers were not given a chance to see their dignity at all.
The generals were a little dissatisfied, and the soldiers were a little disappointed.
If the two high priests Tolan and Fuya were smart enough, they might just need to take the initiative to walk out of the tent and express a few cordial condolences to resolve these emotions.
But they didn't.
On the one hand, neither of them had any awareness of this, and on the other hand, it was Ulan Tu's deliberate arrangement.
Tolan and Fuya came here, of course, to find a way to relieve the predicament of the High Priest of Tuva.
The only way was of course to ask Wu Tong, who was the most knowledgeable.
But things did not go as smoothly as expected.
Before setting off, Wulantu vowed that he would be able to convince his "good friend" Suzaku.
Unexpectedly, when the two arrived at the military camp, they did not even see Wu Tong's face. .
Whenever they asked Wu Lantu, the latter always looked sad and only said that he had done his best, but Wu Tong was very busy and had no time to see anyone.
Who are the two high priests?
They have not been treated like this for decades, and yet there are still people who dare to refuse their request to meet and talk.
The two became extremely angry upon hearing this.
The grumpy High Priest Fuya even wanted to go over and arrest Wu Tong, but in the end he was persuaded by Tolan.
In comparison, High Priest Tolan is a little smarter.
He knows that this is not their home field, and taking action rashly may cause unnecessary consequences.
Day after day of waiting, day by day of disappointment, the anger of the two high priests also increased day by day.
In the end, even High Priest Tolan, who had been urging Fuya to calm down, couldn't bear it anymore.

But just when the two of them couldn't bear it anymore and were ready to make a desperate move to kidnap Wu Tong, the person they had always wanted to see showed up.
"Oh, the two high priests have been waiting for a long time.
They are really busy and can't get away."
Inexplicably, Wu Tong suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, as if they had met them for a long time but could never take time off.
"You" Fuya was startled and didn't even know what to say for a moment.
Wu Tong's arrival was so sudden that Wulan Tu had no news at all in advance, and the soldiers guarding outside the tent did not inform him.
At this time, Fuya happened to be adding energy to the ice that sealed Tuva, and was knocked into by Wu Tong who fell from the sky.
An old lady was caressing an almost old man through the ice.
Well, probably no one has seen this scene before.
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Wu Tong smiled, "I knew the two high priests were looking for me, but I was afraid of wasting time, so I didn't alert others and came over in a hurry without scaring you.
Tsk tsk, this is Tuva.
High Priest, the situation doesn’t look very good.”
Wu Tong was talking to himself, and while he was talking, he walked forward, touched the piece of ice, and even tried to burn it with fire.
I don't know what kind of power this piece of ice contains, and the temperature is extremely low.
If it had been anyone else, maybe just touching it would have left the arm on it.
Wu Tong is familiar with it, but High Priest Fuya cannot do this.
Especially Wulantu didn't say anything beforehand, which made Fuya feel unsure about what Wu Tong meant.
This contrast also made it rare for her not to explode and suppress her violent temper.
Wu Tong's arrival could be concealed from the guarding soldiers, but it was impossible to conceal it from High Priest Tolan.
Wu Tong had just finished talking nonsense when Tolan hurried over, holding a sheep skull staff in his hand.
He probably thought Wu Tong was here for a surprise attack.
But as soon as he appeared, Tolan was stunned by the strange scene in front of him.
Because he saw Wu Tong smiling happily and talking to Fu Ya, the two of them were like Dolan's missing friends, so he was shocked and threw away the stick in his hand.
"Hello, High Priest Tolan.
I haven't seen you for a long time.
You are still looking as good as ever."
After Tolan arrived, Wu Tong became even more enthusiastic.
He even took the initiative to pick up the sheep skull staff and returned it to Tolan's hand. .
"Hello."
Tolan twitched the corner of his mouth and replied.
Judging from his expression, it seemed that he didn't know what he just said
.
