Chapter 209

Su Xiao lies in his bedroom. There are noisy running sounds and bugles outside. The imperial army is gathering.

The war was doomed before it began, and the Empire would win.

Not to mention the death of the leader of the northern army, the "devil's essence" of the emperor of Estes is not the northern army can stop.

Imperial utensils are magical things that can help users control the ice and water flow. However, some imperial utensils are purely weapons with special abilities, such as one hit, one kill, extremely sharp, etc.

The imperial utensil can be a ring, knife, sword, armor, etc.

Emperor's tools are not available for everyone to use. Emperor's tools will choose a suitable master. After the master's death, the ability of emperor's tools still exists, waiting for the next master.

Imperial utensils can be divided into several categories.

The first is the essence of demons, which can only be used once for eating or drinking imperial utensils. These imperial utensils are generally very powerful.

The second kind is weapons. This kind of emperor has various kinds of weapons, weapons, swords, swords, halberds and abilities.

The third kind is more magical. It's a kind of biological emperor like device, which may be a humanoid, a dog, a bear, etc.

The three kinds of imperial utensils have their own advantages and disadvantages. Generally speaking, the disposable imperial utensils are more powerful.

Su xiaonao recollects the appearance and ability of all kinds of emperor utensils. He will face emperor utensils in the future.

When he was thinking about the emperor's tools, a clarion call came from outside the fortress.

"Is it time to send troops at last? What is the situation of the emperor now?"

It's too early to think about this. It's most important to have a rest. Su Xiao fell asleep within five minutes. He didn't feel so comfortable after returning to the capital. He went deep into the enemy camp.

……

In the early morning of the next day, the cold wind blew.

Inside Dongta fortress.

At this time, the "Dong Dong tower fortress" is quite different from last night. A large amount of cold ice appears in the fortress, the houses are frozen, and people in the extreme north can be seen everywhere on the ground. The whole fortress has become the world of ice.

An imperial soldier trotted out of the fortress, his heart pumping as he passed through the snow.

The scene in the snow can only be described as miserable. A large number of prisoners of war were stabbed on a stick, which stood in the snow.

Looking at it, there are at least thousands of wooden sticks in human clothes, and the situation behind the wooden sticks is even more cruel.

After last night's war, the northern polar army was in a state of collapse. There was no leader's command, and Estes's powerful ice system capability turned the battlefield into a slaughterhouse.

At 2:30 in the morning, the northern army surrendered at 5:00 in the morning.

There are 30000 troops and 70000 or 80000 civilians in the fortress. Don't look down on these 70000 or 80000 civilians. They are soldiers at the critical moment.

After all these men surrendered, Estes gave an order.

Kill, not one! In addition, they killed in a cruel way and used the blood of the northern army to intimidate other restless aliens around the Empire.

The massacre began at six and ended at less than seven.

Nearly 100000 people were slaughtered in less than an hour. Some of their bodies were piled up in piles, some were made into snowmen, some were pierced with wooden sticks.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the news spread to other small units scattered around the northern polar army, which began to flee to the colder depths of the northern polar army.

At eleven o'clock that morning, no one from the far north could be seen within a few kilometers of the far north fortress. These people were frightened.

The imperial army withdrew to the extreme north fortress around 12 o'clock. Around 1 o'clock in the afternoon, more than 300000 sick people took the lead in returning to the Empire.

At about two o'clock, more than 100000 uninfected Imperial troops began to withdraw, leaving less than 50000 people in the northern fortress.

The reason why we are in such a hurry to retreat is that we need a lot of money to March and fight. The army grain eaten by 500000 troops every day is a terrible number. Moreover, these grains are transported at a higher cost. In addition, there are other expenses, such as medical treatment, medicine, wear and tear of weapons, pension for personal injury and death, etc.

If half a million people were allowed to guard the fortress and use the current savings of the imperial treasury, in less than half a year, there would be a default in military pay, and the economy of the Empire would decline substantially within a year.

It's enough to have 50000 people guarding the fortress. In the past, there were only a few thousand people in the extreme north fortress.

It's too hard to deliver goods to the far north. The Empire has been reducing the number of border guards.

It's no wonder that the Empire will eventually subjugate. To reduce the number of border guards is to kill in a fancy way.

Now the empire is like a rotten tree. It depends on who has the courage to kick it.

……

On the way back, most of the soldiers walked, which led to the overall speed of marching.

Su Xiao was sitting on the back of a bumpy horse. He had never ridden a horse before. He had never thought that the four legged vehicle was so difficult to master.

But how can a darkroom be able to ride a horse, so it's necessary to be able to ride a horse if it can't.

Su Xiao rode with the strength of his waist and his footwall. His first horse fell to the ground 30 minutes later, frothing at his mouth and twitching in his abdomen. It was a horse that used brute force to clamp him and also suffered from that horse.

The fate of the second horse is much better, and there is no sign of foaming at the mouth.

This horse is OK, but Su Xiao is not good at all. It's a very tired thing to force him to ride. He has a pain in his buttocks and a pain in his chest.

"General, how long will it take to return to the capital?"

Su Xiao's rare initiative to speak with Estes.

"Well?"

Estes was quite surprised.

"About two days."

Su Xiao's face is not very good-looking.

"You can't ride a horse."

Su Xiao has no choice but to be recognized.

"Well."

"Why?"

"I hate this hairy beast. It makes me sick."

Estes was surprised that she didn't expect Su Xiao, a cold-faced woman, to hate something.

"Your previous organization didn't teach you how to ride?"

"Yes, but I killed the horse."

This time, Estes is not calm.

"Kill the horse? What about the consequences? "

"I was hoisted and whipped for 200 times. I almost died."

Estes smiled and looked at Su Xiao.

"What did you do with it in the end?"

"I practice running, and I end up running faster than a horse, and my endurance is no less than a horse."

Once again, Estes chuckled, as did other officers nearby.

"I'm faster than a horse. What kind of subordinate did I take in? Why do you want to ride now, since you don't like riding so much?"

Su Xiao knew that he could not avoid the question, and he gave an unexpected answer.

"The assassin's inability to ride will be suspected."

If ten sentences are lies, they will be found out sooner or later, but if there are a few truth in ten sentences, then lies will also be regarded as truth.

"You don't have to. Go to the back material car and sit down. Your horse is foaming again."

The horse under Su Xiao turned around, and the innocent eyes seemed to accuse Su Xiao.

"Thank you, general."

After jumping off the horse, Su Xiao limped to the supply car. He was finally free and successfully muddled through.
