Chapter 203: Fight as soon as you meet

Jibei Fortress.

This fortress was the throat of the empire's northern border. On the left and right sides of the fortress were snow-capped mountains that didn't melt all year round. The rock walls were steep, and there was no way to climb the snow-capped mountains except by flying.

The harsh climate of the extreme north led to a lack of resources here. The people living in the extreme north could only make a living by hunting, and the customs passed down from generation to generation led to the fierce folk customs of the extreme north, where both men and women were soldiers.

The extreme north was originally within the empire's territory, but the empire's high taxes led to the extreme north breaking away from the empire's control.

The people of the extreme north, struggling on the line of food and clothing, couldn't afford that kind of tax, and rising up was inevitable.

The empire, located in the most fertile position in the center of the continent, of course couldn't tolerate this situation, and sent a large army to suppress the extreme north.

In the empire's view, the extreme north was just a remote place. As long as they sent hundreds of thousands of troops, they could easily crush it, and it could also deter other alien races.

Would the combat power of the extreme north people who were used to hunting be weak? Of course not.

The 200,000-strong army dispatched by the empire collapsed across the board within a month. The war of 30,000 against 200,000 seemed absurd, but the extreme north won a great victory.

After this battle, a key figure appeared in the extreme north: Numa Seka, known as the Northern Alien Prince, who held a long spear and had never been defeated. He was a totem-like figure for the extreme north people, and also the leader of the extreme north army.

Only 70,000 of the empire's 200,000-strong army survived, and 130,000 of them were left in this frozen soil forever.

This kind of loss was something the empire hadn't suffered for hundreds of years. The empire's underage little emperor was furious, sent 500,000 troops, and dispatched the empire's trump card.

At this time, the empire's 500,000-strong army was stationed in the 'Jibei Fortress', but the situation wasn't as optimistic as imagined.

The empire soldiers who were used to the warm climate appeared to have reduced numbers after arriving in the extreme north before the war even started.

Severe frostbite and heavy colds were the death gods taking lives.

Although the empire's medical conditions were developed, they weren't popularized due to the incompetence of those in power. Only the empire's high-level officials could enjoy excellent medical conditions.

Because of the existence of Teigu, the empire didn't attach importance to thermal weapons, so the current war was still a collision of cold weapons. Of course, this also had something to do with the inaction of those in power.

In the eyes of the empire's high-level officials, soldiers were just chess pieces that could be discarded after use. Giving them expensive thermal weapons was a very 'inappropriate' behavior.

500,000 troops rushed to the extreme north, and those who could exert combat power didn't exceed 200,000. As time passed, this number was still decreasing.

On the city wall of the extreme north fortress, a group of soldiers in white winter clothes were patrolling routinely.

"This damn place is freezing to death. When can we go back?"

A soldier tightened his winter clothes, but no matter how thick the winter clothes were, they couldn't block the cold wind of the extreme north.

"Hurry up and finish patrolling this circle, go back and get warm. The whole city wall has been checked, there are no omissions."

Another soldier spoke. This was a small team of a dozen people.

"There seems to be someone under the fortress."

A soldier stood on the edge of the city wall and looked down.

"Alien race of the extreme north?"

"The snow is too heavy, a bit unclear."

"Doesn't look like an alien race. Have you ever seen an alien race wearing single clothes? This guy actually didn't freeze to death. His strength shouldn't be weak. Call more people to investigate."

Several soldiers greeted others and rushed toward the city gate. Their steps were neat and their fighting spirit was high. They didn't dare to be slack because they had a very strict general.

The city gate opened, and hundreds of soldiers holding long weapons rushed out of the fortress.

"Who is it!"

A soldier roared.

The wind and snow raged. In this cold temperature, the visitor was wearing single clothes and exhaled a mouthful of white air.

"I don't know if the extreme north fortress is still recruiting people. I am a traveling traveler."

The small leader of the soldiers pondered for a few seconds.

"Capture him first. He might be a scout of the extreme north army. It's wartime now, so we must not be slack."

The small leader roared, and hundreds of soldiers swarmed up, their feet stepping on the snow, creaking and creaking.

Surrounded, Su Xiao's eyebrows furrowed. Reincarnation Paradise didn't provide an identity this time, so he could only use the identity of a traveler to cover up.

Su Xiao had already thought of an identity that fit his temperament very well, which would have to wait until he saw the leader of these soldiers.

"Sure enough, joining the empire camp isn't that simple."

Checking Zhan Long Shan was unsheathed, and Su Xiao prepared to fight the empire army.

"Wait!"

A female voice came, and all the soldiers' movements came to an abrupt halt, their bodies subconsciously straightening.

In the wind and snow, a figure in a white military uniform walked over. The style of the military uniform was a bit special and exceptionally sexy. This was a tall woman with blue hair hanging down to her waist behind her back. The wild wind blew her blue hair. In the cold extreme north, this woman's dress was very cool. Judging from the dress, this should be a female general.

"What's going on."

The female general's tone wasn't very good, and she seemed to have encountered something unpleasant before.

"General Esdeath, the subordinate might have discovered a scout of the extreme north army."

The small leader's demeanor was respectful, his head lowered.

"Scout?"

Esdeath looked at Su Xiao.

"Uh... should be. The subordinate was just suspicious. After all, it's wartime now."

The small leader recounted the previous situation completely, without adding any personal emotions.

"Not wrong, although we took back the fortress, we still can't be slack."

"Thank you for the praise, General."

Getting Esdeath's praise, the small leader was overjoyed and respectfully retreated to the side.

"Then, how should I deal with you, this 'Northern Army scout'?"

Esdeath looked at Su Xiao with burning eyes and drew the thin sword at her waist.

"If I say I'm not a scout, you definitely won't believe it."

"Heh~."

Esdeath rushed up with her sword, her figure exceptionally agile.

Su Xiao's eyes became sharp, and he raised his hand to put Checking Zhan Long Shan in front of him.

Ding.

Sparks splashed high, the sword and the thin sword intersected, and the snowflakes falling around were blown away by the force.

"Interesting, actually blocked it."

The corners of Esdeath's mouth curled up, and there seemed to be ice flames burning in her eyes. This was a S-class queen who was extremely excited when encountering a strong enemy.

"Then, can this be blocked?"

A row of ice blades grew out in front of Esdeath without warning, and the ice blades extended rapidly, stabbing at Su Xiao.

Su Xiao was intersecting with Esdeath's blade at this time, and this suddenly appearing ice blade arrived in front of him in a flash.

Su Xiao's combat experience was so rich that he had already reacted the moment the ice blade appeared.

His body tilted to the side, and Checking Zhan Long Shan in his hand stirred, both blocking Esdeath's sharp sword and using the blade edge to shatter those ice blades.

With a crack, the ice blades shattered, and ice chips splashed all over the sky.

Su Xiao kicked up a large piece of snow to cover Esdeath's vision, and took the opportunity to side-kick at Esdeath's waist.

Bang.

Su Xiao felt his lower leg go numb. He kicked this foot on a hard object.

Crack.

A large piece of cracks appeared on the ice wall beside Esdeath, which made Esdeath's face change slightly.

"This power..."

Esdeath's expression was even more excited. She longed to fight with a strong enemy, and now she had encountered one.

At this moment, a sharp blade broke through the snow and came, and the sharp blade edge made Esdeath dare not underestimate it.

Can't be slashed, otherwise she would have to pay a not small price, and might even die.

After making a judgment in her heart, Esdeath raised an ice wall half a meter thick in front of her.

The ice wall rose, but the blade edge Su Xiao slashed down didn't stop at all.

Zing.

The half-meter-thick ice wall was directly severed, and Esdeath had already taken the opportunity to retreat.

Esdeath clasped her hands together, and white light flashed at her fingertips.

"White Ice Shattering Thorn."

Washinoki Washinoki Jishi of white ice thorns appeared beside Esdeath, and these ice thorns were exceptionally sharp. ===== CHAPTER 204 =====

Washinoki Washinoki Jishi of white ice spikes floated around Esdeath; these ice spikes were exceptionally sharp.
