Bab 512: Flame in the Blizzard

At the eastern border of the Ice Cold Empire, within an outpost of a neighboring Dwarf barrack, flames were illuminating a group of burly men carrying rifles.

These Dwarves had large beards, with an average height between one meter fifty and one meter sixty. Each of them wore a leather cap and carried a Mosin-Nagant Rifle in hand.

The Mosin-Nagant Rifle was a rifle specially designed by the Great Tang Group for Dwarves. The technology was very mature and had become the standard rifle for the armies of seven or eight Dwarf Kingdoms and the Ice Cold Empire.

Next to the fire, a Dwarf was pinching a cup with hot soup steaming inside. Although it was nearing spring, the place was still very cold.

To cope with the cold climate, the Dwarves' winter clothes were very thick, making them look like round balls.

They sat around the fire, their fronts scorched by the flames, while their backs were cooled by the biting cold wind.
