Chapter 15: True Colors
"I don't know where you're from, but you're a good subordinate."
With a wave of his arms, dozens of ice spikes around him shot forward.
Su Xiao's pupils contracted slightly, and he began to capture the flight trajectory of those ice spikes.
The dragon slashing in his hand flashed and slashed, and those ice spikes that flew towards him were smashed one after another.
Su Xiao felt that Estes was very strong, stronger than any enemy he had ever fought against, but he talked a little too much nonsense when fighting, if he fought hard, the two of them were likely to die together, and he had a way to deal with that move that froze space.
Looking at Estes in front of him, Su Xiao suddenly thought that if he wanted to quickly climb up in the empire and get close to the little emperor, Estes was a good opportunity.
"You've won, I'm your subordinate now."
Su Xiao's words made Estes stunned.
"What are you kidding, this level of combat doesn't satisfy me."
Estes was visibly displeased.
"It doesn't matter if there is an army coming from the rear?"
"The army?"
Estes's preparation for the forward rush stopped, she just loved to fight, not irrational.
Su Xiao half-squatted on the ground, his fingers inserted into the snow.
"One, three, five or so."
Hearing Su Xiao's words, Estes smiled dumbly.
"Five people are also called the army, even if five thousand people come, it doesn't matter, a clumsy excuse, I suddenly don't want to accept you as a subordinate."
Su Xiao looked up at Estes.
"What if it's fifty thousand."
Estes looked sideways at the lieutenant beside him.
"Have you received any news of an enemy attack?"
The adjutant immediately shook his head.
"General, there is no news from the spies ahead..."
Boom, boom.
The earth was still trembling slightly, and a black shadow could be faintly seen in the flying snow in the distance.
"Retreat to the fortress."
Estes immediately led the men back to the fortress.
"You're with you, too."
With that, Estes rushed to the city wall.
Su Xiao put away the dragon slaying flash and followed behind the many soldiers, according to the intelligence in the original book, joining Estes's army is a good choice.
Although Estes is a well-built female general, she has a tendency to abuse and torture enemies, but Estes has a high reputation in the army.
The money that the empire gave to Estes was used by her to reward her soldiers, and she ate and ate with ordinary soldiers as usual, and did not have the habit of opening a small stove.
Unlike the rest of the Empire, Estes' army never accepted bribes, and had a good relationship with the commoners of the Empire, making it extremely prestigious in the Empire.
If Estes raises the flag to rebel, the success rate is more than 90 percent, or even higher.
Excluding his penchant for torturing enemies and his penchant for fighting, Estes is a top-notch general.
A large reason why the decaying empire has been able to survive until now is that it relies on hundreds of thousands of troops under Estes, and of course, it is not excluded that the empire has mastered a lot of imperial tools.
……
A loud roar approached in the distance, and rows of soldiers were already standing on the city wall, some of whom were sick and in battle, and although they were in low spirits, their fighting spirit was still high.
"How can there be so many enemies, is it because the intelligence is wrong."
Estes stood on the rampart and stared into the distance.
The black shadow in the distance gradually approached, and after seeing the appearance of the black shadow, the soldiers on the city wall let out a burst of exclamation.
"Snowwolf, isn't this dangerous species extinct?"
What caught everyone's eyes was a dense patch of giant wolves, the giant wolf's hair was grayish-white, its body was the size of a tiger, and its fangs were exposed when it ran, and there was ferocity and cunning in its eyes.
"I see, it seems that the Far North Army has reached a consensus with that cunning beast."
Estes muttered, she was from the northern border region and knew a little bit about the situation here.
"General, do you want to send troops?"
Estes' adjutant asked.
"No, I wondered how the Far North Army dared to invade suddenly, but now it seems that it was the beast that gave the Far North Army confidence."
Estes looked at the many giant wolves below with more interest.
"You, come with me."
Estes looked at Su Xiao.
Su Xiao hesitated for a few seconds and nodded, this should be some kind of assessment, wanting to join the imperial camp is not as simple as imagined, his teleportation location is too pit.
Estes commanded the adjutant a few words, and the adjutant was a little stunned, and said hurriedly:
"General, this person is of unknown origin, it is too risky to do this."
"It doesn't matter, as long as it is strong, my army will accept it, and if you don't have good intentions, you will peel it and throw it into the fire."
Estes turned his head to look at Su Xiao, his gaze seemed to be studying where to go with the knife.
Su Xiao's face was expressionless.
After looking at Su Xiao for a while, Estes rushed forward a few steps and jumped off the city wall more than ten meters high.
As she was about to land, a patch of ice formed under Estes' feet, and she landed smoothly after stepping on the ice.
Estes pressed lightly on the snow with one hand.
Rumble.
A layer of ice spread in an instant, and all the running giant wolves stood still, turning into ice sculptures.
Su Xiao was not surprised to see this scene, the development direction of Estes belonged to the opposing army, and he was biased towards killing powerful individuals.
Su Xiao also jumped down from the city wall, standing on the ice, a cold air gradually rose, and the temperature here was even lower.
The extremely cold weather in the north is very suitable for Estes to fight, but the combat power of killing tens of thousands of enemies in one blow is enough to shock.
"Let's go."
Estes got up and walked into the distance, and Su Xiao also walked forward.
Walking through the ice sculptures formed by a giant wolf, Su Xiao was a little puzzled, where is Estes going to go? And these giant wolves are clearly coming with a purpose.
"You didn't give your best in the fight just now."
Estes suddenly spoke, and Su Xiao guessed that this was the other party's attempt to find out his details, after all, he belonged to an unknown origin, if he didn't tell the details, the infiltration plan would basically be in vain.
Fortunately, Su Xiao consulted a lot of information on the slashing of red, and had already simulated his origin, origin, etc. in his heart.
"About seventy percent."
Estes was in front and Su Xiao was behind, and the two chatted while walking.
"Seventy percent? It seems that I underestimate you a little, a guy with strength like you will not appear out of thin air, if you want to join my army, you must explain your origin and name. ”
"Yes."
"My name is White Night, Pax Yasen from the East of the Empire, I have recently worked as a killer and mercenary, I was trained in the organization in the East, and then served in the army for a few years, mainly responsible for: assassination of key personnel, destruction behind enemy lines. Behead the head of the enemy army, serve in the army for five years, and then the army is ready to dispose of me, and that's it. ”
Estes's brows furrowed, in her opinion, Su Xiao's origin was a little complicated, he had been a killer and had been a shadow in the army.
"Why did your army abandon you?"
"I know so many secrets. And my country has won, and people like me are no longer needed. ”
Estes thought about whether Su Xiao's words were credible, although Su Xiao's origin was a little complicated, but Su Xiao's strength was there, and the origin of a person with such strength was not complicated.
"What is your purpose in coming to the Far North this time?"
"I'm going to take refuge with Numa Sekka of the Far North, but I don't think that guy has much future, so I'm going to join the more powerful empire."
Su Xiao's words can be described as simple and clear, and Estes does not take the initiative to ask, he never says more, this is the most accustomed style of speech of the assassination troops, Su Xiao is trying his best to simulate.
"What is your purpose after joining the Empire? Or what ideals do you have. ”
Estes asked one last question.
"Ideal? I was raised to kill people, give me money, status, and then I killed. ”
Hearing Su Xiao's somewhat explicit answer, Estes was very satisfied, she felt that she had picked up a treasure this time, a 'homeless' former underworld officer, who was very popular in any country that was not very peaceful, and what they could do was something that soldiers would never be able to do.
