The northern frontier fortress.
The fortress here is the throat of the northern border of the empire. On the left and right sides of the fortress are snow-capped mountains that never melt all year round. The rock walls are so steep that it is impossible to climb the snow-capped mountains except by flying.
The harsh climate in the Far North has led to a lack of resources. People living in the Far North can only make a living by hunting. The customs passed down from generation to generation have led to the fierce folk customs of the Far North, with both men and women serving as soldiers.
The Far North originally belonged to the empire, but the empire's high taxes caused the far north to break away from the empire's control.
It is impossible for the people in the far north who are struggling to have enough food and clothing to afford that kind of tax, so it is inevitable to pull the lever.
The empire, located in the richest location in the center of the continent, of course could not tolerate this situation and sent a large army to suppress the Far North.
In the eyes of the empire, the far north is just a remote place. It can be easily defeated with hundreds of thousands of troops and can also deter other foreign races.
Will the people from the far north, who make a living by hunting all year round, have weak combat effectiveness? Of course not.
The 200,000 troops dispatched by the empire collapsed within a month. A war of 30,000 against 200,000 seemed absurd, but the Far North achieved a complete victory.
After this war, a key figure appeared in the Far North: Numa Saka, known as the prince of the alien race in the north. He had never been defeated with a spear. He was a totem-like figure for the people of the Far North. At the same time, He is also the leader of the Far North Army.
Only 70,000 of the empire's 200,000 troops survived, of which 130,000 were left in this frozen land forever.
This kind of loss has not been suffered by the empire for hundreds of years. The empire's underage emperor was furious and sent half a million troops and the empire's ace.
At this time, the empire’s 500,000-strong army was stationed in the ‘Ultra North Fortress’, but the situation was not as optimistic as expected.
The imperial soldiers who were accustomed to warm climates experienced attrition before the war even started after arriving in the far north.
Severe frostbite and severe colds are life-threatening.
Although the empire's medical conditions are developed, they are not universal due to the stupidity of those in power. Only the top brass of the empire can enjoy excellent medical conditions.
Because of the existence of Teigu, the empire does not pay attention to hot weapons, so today's wars are still a collision of cold weapons. Of course, this is also related to the inaction of those in power.
In the eyes of the empire's senior officials, soldiers are just chess pieces that can be discarded after use. It is "inappropriate" to issue them expensive thermal weapons.
Half a million troops rushed to the far north, and no more than 200,000 were able to exert combat effectiveness. This number is still decreasing as time goes by.
On the city wall of the far north border fortress, a group of soldiers wearing white winter coats were conducting routine inspections.
"This damn place is so cold. When can we go back?"
A soldier tightened his winter coat, but no matter how thick the winter coat was, it could not stop the cold wind from the far north. .
"Hurry up and finish the patrol. Go back and get warm. The entire city wall has been checked and there are no omissions."
Another soldier said, this is a group of more than ten people. squad.
"There seems to be someone under the fortress."
A soldier stood on the edge of the city wall and looked down.
"Aliens from the far north?"
"The snow is too heavy, it's a bit unclear."
"I don't think they are aliens. Have you ever seen them wearing single clothes?" Alien? This guy didn't freeze to death. He should be strong. Call more people to investigate."
A few soldiers rushed towards the city gate after greeting others, with neat steps and fighting spirit. They dare not relax because they have a very stern general.
The city gate opened, and dozens of soldiers armed with long weapons rushed out of the fortress.
"Who is it?"
A soldier yelled.
The wind and snow are blowing fiercely. In this cold temperature, people wear cool single clothes and exhale a white breath.
"I don't know if the Far North Fortress is still recruiting people. I am a wandering traveler."
The person who came had short black hair and a long knife on his waist. Gorgeous, but at first glance you can tell it’s not ordinary.
The little leader of the soldiers pondered for a few seconds.
"Capture him first. He may be a spy of the Far North Army. This is war time, so we must not relax."
The little boss roared, and hundreds of soldiers swarmed forward. , the snow crunched under the feet.
Su Xiao, who was surrounded by people, frowned. Samsara Paradise did not provide his identity this time, so he could only use the identity of a traveler to cover up.
Su Xiao has already thought of an identity that suits his temperament, but that will have to wait until he meets the leader of these soldiers.
"Sure enough, joining the imperial camp is not that simple."
Zhan Long flashed out of his body, and Su Xiao prepared to face the imperial army.
"Wait!"
A female voice came, and all the soldiers' movements stopped suddenly, and their bodies straightened subconsciously.
A figure wearing a white military uniform came up in the wind and snow. The style of the military uniform was a bit special and extremely sexy. She was a tall woman with a full head of blue hair hanging down her back to her waist. The strong wind With her blue hair blowing, this woman was dressed very coolly in the cold Far North. Judging from her attire, she must be a female general.
"What's going on?"
The female general's tone was not very good, as if she had encountered something unpleasant before.
"General Esdeath, my subordinates may have discovered the spies of the Far North Army."
The little boss looked respectful and lowered his head.
"Spy?"
Esdeath looked at Su Xiao.
"Um... It should be that my subordinates are just suspicious. After all, it is war time."
The little boss told Uncle Chen the entire situation without adding any personal emotions. .
"We can't do anything wrong. Although we have recaptured the fortress, we can't relax."
"Thank you, General, for the compliment."
Get Esdeath's The little boss was happy with the compliment and stepped aside respectfully.
"So,What should I do with you, a 'spy of the Northern Army'? "
Esdeath looked at Su Xiao with burning eyes, and pulled out the thin sword from his waist.
"You won't believe me if I say that I am not a spy. ”
“Heh~. "
Esdesti Sword rushed up, his figure was extremely agile.
Su Xiao's eyes sharpened, and he raised his hand to hold Dragon Slayer Flash in front of him.
p>
Ding.
The sparks flew up from Lao Gao, the knife and the rapier intersected, and the falling snowflakes were blown away by the force.
"Interesting, it was actually blocked. "
The corners of Esdeath's mouth turned up, and there seemed to be ice flames burning in her eyes. She was a trembling queen who was extremely excited when she encountered a strong enemy.
"So, this Can it be blocked? "
A row of ice blades appeared in front of Esdeath without any warning. The ice blades stretched rapidly and stabbed at Su Xiao.
Su Xiao was with Esdeath at this time. Des' swords met, and the ice blade suddenly appeared in front of him.
Su Xiao's combat experience was so rich that he had already reacted the moment the ice blade appeared.
He turned his body to the side and used the Dragon-Slaying Flash in his hand to block Esdeath's sharp sword and shatter the ice blades with the blade.
The ice blades shattered with a crack, and ice fragments filled the sky. Splash.
Su Xiao kicked up a large amount of snow to cover Esdeath's sight, and then kicked Esdeath's waist
Bang.
Su Xiao felt his calf go numb as his foot hit a hard object.
A large area of ice appeared on the side of Esdeath. Crack, which made Esdeath's face change slightly.
"This power..." ”
Esdeath’s expression became even more excited. She was eager to fight a strong enemy, and now she met it.
At this moment, a sharp blade came through the snow, and it was so sharp. Esdeath's blade dare not be underestimated.
You can't be hit, otherwise you will have to pay a heavy price, and you may even die.
After making a judgment in your heart. , a half-meter-thick ice wall rose up in front of Esdeath.
The ice wall rose, but Su Xiao's slashing blade did not stop.
.
The half-meter-thick ice wall was cut directly, and Esdeath took the opportunity to retreat.
Esdeath closed his hands, and his fingertips shone with white light. >
“White ice shatters thorns. ”
Dozens of white ice spikes appeared around Esdeath, and these ice spikes were extremely sharp.
