Su Xiao was lying in the bedroom, and there was a noisy sound of running and horns outside, and the army of the empire was gathering.

The outcome of this war was already doomed before it began, and the Imperial side was bound to win.

Not to mention that the leader of the Far North Army is dead, the Emperor 'Demon Essence' of Estes is not something that the Far North Army can stop.

The emperor is a very magical thing, which can help the user control the ice, water flow, etc., and some of the emperor tools are simply weapons, with special abilities, such as one-hit killing, extremely sharp, etc.

The Imperial Tool can be a ring, a knife, a sword, armor, etc.

The emperor is not available to everyone, the emperor will choose the owner who is compatible with the sex, and the ability of the emperor still exists after the death of the master, waiting for the next master.

The emperor can be divided into several categories.

The first is the Demon Essence, which can only be used once, and the ability of this type of Imperial Tool is generally very strong.

The second is weapons, which have a variety of imperial tools, all kinds of swords, guns, swords, halberds, and various abilities.

The third type is more magical, it is a biological emperor, which may be a humanoid creature, or a dog, a bear, etc.

The three imperial tools have their own advantages and disadvantages, and on the whole, it is still a one-time imperial tool that is stronger.

Su Xiao recalled the appearance and ability of various emperor tools in his mind, and he would have to face the emperor envoy in the future.

As he pondered the information on the Imperial Tool, a rallying horn came from outside the fortress.

"Are you finally going to send troops, what is the situation of the emperor now?"

It's too early to think about this, rest is the most important thing, and within five minutes Su Xiao fell asleep, and after returning to the imperial capital, he was not so comfortable, he went deep into the enemy camp.

……

In the early hours of the next morning, a cold wind blew.

Inside the Knock Tower Fortress.

At this time, the 'Dongdong Tower Fortress' is completely different from last night, a large area of ice has appeared in the fortress, the houses have been frozen, and the ground is full of frozen northerners, and the entire fortress has become a world of ice.

An Imperial soldier hurried out of the fortress, his heart throbbing as he passed through a snowy field.

The scene on the snow can only be described as horrific, with a large number of prisoners of war stabbed on wooden sticks, which stood in the snow.

As far as the eye can see, there are at least a few thousand of these wooden sticks dressed in humans, and the scene behind the wooden sticks is even more brutal.

After the battle began last night, the Far North Army was on the verge of collapse, without the command of a leader, and Estes's powerful ice ability turned the battlefield into a slaughterhouse.

The battle began at half past two in the morning, and the Far North surrendered at five in the morning.

There are 30,000 troops and 70,000 or 80,000 civilians stationed in the fortress of Dongdong Tower, don't underestimate these 70,000 or 80,000 civilians, they are also soldiers at critical moments.

After all of them surrendered, Estes gave an order.

Kill, not a single one is left! And kill in a cruel way, and use the blood of the Far North Army to deter other restless alien races around the empire.

The slaughter began at six o'clock and ended at less than seven.

Nearly 100,000 people were slaughtered in less than an hour, their bodies piled up, some made into 'snowmen', some pierced with wooden sticks.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the news reached the other small units of the Far North Army scattered around, and the various units of the Far North Army began to break and flee to the colder depths of the Far North.

At eleven o'clock in the morning of the same day, there was not a single Far Northerner within a radius of several kilometers of the Far North Fortress, and these people were frightened.

The Imperial Army withdrew to the Far North Fortress at about twelve o'clock, and at about one o'clock in the afternoon, more than 300,000 sick people were the first to return to the Empire.

At around two o'clock, more than 100,000 unill Imperial troops also began to withdraw, leaving less than 50,000 men in the Far North fortress.

The reason why the retreat is so anxious is because it takes a lot of money to march and fight, and the military rations eaten by the 500,000 troops every day is a very terrifying number, and these grains are all transported, and the cost is higher, and there are other expenses, such as medical care, medicine, wear and tear of weapons, pensions for casualties, etc.

If 500,000 people were allowed to defend the fortress, with the current savings of the imperial treasury, there would be a situation of arrears of military salaries within half a year, and the empire's economy would be greatly reduced within a year.

Fifty thousand men were enough to defend the fortress, compared to a few thousand in the far north.

It was too difficult to send supplies to the far north, and the empire had been cutting down on the number of border guards.

It is no wonder that the empire will eventually fall, and to reduce the number of border guards is to die in a fancy way.

The current empire is like a big tree that is rotten to the core, it depends on who has the courage to kick it.

……

On the way back from the Imperial Army, most of the soldiers were on foot, which led to an unfast overall march.

Su Xiao sat on the back of a bumpy horse, he had never ridden a horse, and he didn't expect that these four-legged vehicles would be so difficult to master.

But how can a dark man not be able to ride a horse, so if he can't ride, he must be able to ride.

Su Xiao relied on his waist strength and the strength of the lower plate to forcibly ride the horse, and the first horse he rode fell to the ground after thirty minutes of marching, foaming at the mouth and convulsing in the abdomen, which clamped him with brute force and also hurt the horse.

The fate of the second horse was much better, and there were no signs of foaming at the mouth.

This horse is fine, but Su Xiao's whole person is not good, it is very tiring to reluctantly ride a horse, his butt is very sore now, and the position below his chest is sore.

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

Su Xiao rarely took the initiative to speak to Estes.

"Huh?"

Estes was surprised.

"About two days."

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

"You don't know how to ride a horse."

was recognized, and Su Xiao was also very helpless about this.

"Hmm."

"Why?"

"I'm begging for this hairy brute, and it makes me uncomfortable."

Estes was surprised, she probably didn't expect Su Xiao of the 'cold face' to hate something.

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

"Taught, but I killed the horse."

This time Estes was not calm.

"Kill the horse? The consequences? ”

"I was hung up and whipped two hundred times, and I almost died."

Estes chuckled lightly and looked at Su Xiao in amazement.

"What happened to this matter in the end?"

"I practiced running, and in the end I ran faster than a horse, and my endurance was not inferior to that of a horse."

Estes chuckled again, as did the other officers nearby.

"Running faster than a horse, what kind of subordinate did I accept, since you don't like riding a horse so much, then why do you want to ride a horse now?"

Su Xiao knew that he couldn't avoid this question, so he gave a surprising answer.

"The assassination unit will not be suspected of riding horses."

If all ten sentences are lies, sooner or later they will be recognized, but if there are several truths in ten sentences, then the lies will also be taken as truth.

"Don't be reluctant, go and sit in the back of the supply cart, your horse is foaming at the mouth again."

The war horse under Su Xiao turned his head, and the innocent gaze seemed to accuse Su Xiao.

"General Xie."

Jumping off the war horse, Su Xiao limped towards the supply vehicle, he was finally freed and successfully fooled.
