Heaven is ruthless, and when people think that they are desperate, they may not be waiting for hope, but cruelty.

Since the Tieli people were discovered by the Chu people near Shuangchuan more than 700 years ago, and then driven further north, the hatred between Tieli and the empire has never stopped. Snow Devils have existed far longer than two countries. As early as that time, there was a very small snow demon zone, and over the years, there had never been a strong person among the Tieli people, and no one dared to go deep into the snow demon zone, which seemed to have more hope of breaking the empire than the giant beasts in ancient mythology. When each Tieli king is about to die, the next Tieli king will swear that he will continue the future of the Tieli kingdom for the rest of his life.

Such a continuation will naturally not be an enemy of the powerful creatures of the north. It is true that the King of Tieli has penetrated deep into the Far North, even deeper than Heretub, the strongest man in the seven hundred years of Tieli, but has never returned. The Tieli Kings also understood one thing, that giant beast had the ability to mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth, which meant that it would not be exhausted at all, which meant that even if it exhausted hundreds of thousands of troops, it would not be able to break through. It's like facing an endless number of warriors.

This kind of existence is already indelible in numbers, and only the truly strongest have a chance. But not to mention Tie Li, it seems that there has never been such a strong person in the entire continent, and there has never been a strong person who will go deep into the Snow Demon Zone for no reason.

For the Tieli people, in order to survive, they can only go to the south. The previous seven hundred years of countless battles originated from the Tieli people's desire to give the country a future. In the past few years, the Tieli people have become more and more courageous, because if they do not conquer the empire, they may not be able to do anything.

Eventually, there was a Heredub in the Tieli Kingdom, and under the leadership of this Nioh, the Tieli Kingdom had twice reached the gate of the Frost River, and the magnificent city walls were covered with ice and snow, but this kind of weather that the southerners thought was unbearable was the warmth that the Tieli people dreamed of.

It was also at that time that Khredub knew that his life's mission was to lead his people to recapture Frost River City.

Maybe yes.

Heredub is extremely powerful on the battlefield, and the Tieli people, who have been defeated for seven hundred years, feel unprecedented hope because of Hereyue and Heredub. Maybe it's okay, break through Frost River City!

But......

The empire has produced a Xiang Wu.

Xiang Wu's strength is far beyond the imagination of the world. He was stronger on the battlefield than Hredup, and the Imperial army he led was almost undefeated, and even in desperate situations, he was able to turn the tide on his own. The most influential place in the name of the dragon general is not in the empire, but in Tieli.

Tie Li Guo's attacks were crushed by Xiang Wu again and again, and Xiang Wu even almost came to the gate of Snow Dove City several times, as if Heredub had once arrived in front of the gate of Frost River City.

But in the end, the situation became a stalemate -

The Tieli people can't reach the Frost River, and the Imperial people can't enter the Fog Prison Valley.

This situation was almost broken seven years ago, but in the end, because of the appearance of the Shen family's scholars, the Tieli people were beaten back to the Northern Regions.

And now, the 50,000-strong army stood about five miles north of the Shuangchuan City Gate, and what resisted them was only the already weakened Xiang Wu and the imperial army of less than 6,000.

Everyone was thinking, it's almost okay to think you've won, right? The dreams of countless generations of Tieli people in the past 700 years can finally be realized, right? Those wives and children parents who are still enduring the cold in Snow Dove City can finally not worry about the arrival of the catastrophe, right?

That's why Heredub dared to say to Xiang Wu, you lost.

He wanted to cry at that moment, this unsmiling Tieli strongest man, this iron-blooded man who was extremely similar to the dragon general Xiang Wu in personality, seemed to see the faces of his father and grandfather and countless Tieli sages when he swung his sword.

He'd spent his life leading the Tieli people out of the cold of the Far North, and now he's finally going to do it.

But all kinds of things at this moment are just mirrors and dreams.

The iron knife fell to the ground, and it made a sound like a shatter. Heredub was stunned.

There were many people, so many that he couldn't see them all at once, these people let out a painful cry, and in a short time began to slowly change, in the direction of destruction and death, their bodies began to be as thin as dehydration, and their skin was wrinkled like the trunks of old trees, and finally slowly desertified, as if in an instant from young and strong soldiers, to extremely old and sick fistula,

What about such a soldier, even if there are 50,000? Even if it is a hundred thousand, it is difficult to fight against the empire. And some of those soldiers also knew that this would be the result. As the bearers of the medicine, they have been feeling the changes in their bodies, and the constant surging power makes them feel stronger than ever, but at the same time, they vaguely understand that this seems to be overdrawing the future.

Swapping all the future and hope for the rest of their lives for the future of all the people of Tieli, they never regretted this choice, and accepted the bet calmly.

But in the end, they lost.

No regrets, no resentment. Some are just unwilling.

All the soldiers who were devoured by the drug felt intense pain, where could their bodies withstand the cold of the Northern Regions at this time? They couldn't even withdraw their troops.

Will die here. All of them, all of Tieli's combat power will die here, and they are powerless to fight the Empire, and they will no longer be able to retreat from the north of the Frost River to Snow Dove City.

They can't convince themselves of the disappointment of all the people in Snowdove City.

They just raised their heads.

Before finally freezing to death, they chose to raise their heads and look at the walls of the frost river in the distance. The wall...... It was so tall, so tall that they didn't even climb the city wall with all they had.

Tie Li Guo, lost.

When he was about to win, Heredu felt the urge to burst into tears, and at this time, the defeat was decided, and he smiled instead. The smile was bitter, with a certain self-deprecation.

He doesn't believe that the so-called heaven can't spare me, and he believes that from the moment people are born, they are destined to fight with heaven and earth all their lives. But at this moment, he finally felt a kind of helplessness that was difficult to disobey the will of heaven.

Of course, he also knew that even if he didn't take these medicines, the combat power that the Tieli people had burst out in this winter might actually be able to come to Frost River before. But he couldn't stop his younger brother Heleyue from convincing all the soldiers to take this drug, and today's outcome was actually doomed from that moment on.

No matter how desperate they are, no matter how brave the soldiers are.

Fate cannot be broken.

It's really unwilling, but it seems to be ...... That's all it can be.

"If my Tieli Kingdom is defeated, it will be my sin, not the sin of the soldiers." Heredub slowly calmed down, and all his thoughts seemed to be frozen by the wind and snow.

Xiang Wu nodded, he wanted to say a lot of things about Heredub that he admired, but he didn't say so in the end.

"Seeking skin with a tiger is such an end. In the first engagement, I felt that your soldiers were using drugs, and I even knew who gave them. ”

Hredub said: "So, is this a conspiracy of the Empire? ”

Xiang Wu shook his head and said: "The empire is not so bold, we have suffered a lot of losses, the imperial army is 100,000, and now there are only a few thousand people left, if the backlash of this medicine is delayed, maybe ...... No, it's definitely that the frost river is gone. ”

Xiang Wu continued: "But you chose to cooperate with them after all, and this is your original sin. I admire you, but I do not sympathize with you. ”

Heredub smiled miserably: "It doesn't matter, I killed more than 90,000 of you, and now that this opportunity for revenge has come, it seems that it is unlikely to let them go." ”

Heredub was not afraid of death, but he wanted his soldiers to survive. But right now, what awaits them is either the blood blade of the empire or the deadly cold.

Where can they survive?

Xiang Wu shook his head and said, "At least, our losses are not less than yours. The blood debt of more than 90,000 people, they must pay it. ”

Heredub sighed, "It seems that you have not won either. ”

Xiang Wu was silent and finally agreed with this sentence.

This is a war that no one wins. But he is not a benevolent person, he is the enemy of a country in the Tieli Kingdom, even if he feels a little regretful about what happened to the Tieli Kingdom at the moment, but if the price of guarding the border of the Shuangchuan River is destined to destroy the Tieli Kingdom and let hundreds of thousands of living beings die, Xiang Wu will not hesitate.

He is a general of the Empire, and he is an iron-blooded man.

So Xiang Wu raised his hand, and the tattered black cloak swayed in the wind and snow, which meant that he would give the order for the whole army to charge. At this time, the imperial charge was no longer facing the powerful Tieli people, but a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people who had no power to resist and could not survive even in the wind and snow.

The soldiers of the Empire stopped at the moment, they had always been well-disciplined. Although they are all waiting to avenge their dead comrades, at this moment, even if they are in the middle of the battle, once they stop, they will wait for the order of the main general.

Ouyang Xi's expression also slowly eased from the shock, he also did not sympathize with the Tieli people, this is the choice of all the Tieli people, and Huang Sheng, he and Guan Xiao are close friends, he also gritted his teeth and stared, aiming at Khredub, he wanted revenge.

The screams have not subsided, but the flames of vengeance of the Imperial army have been burned.

At the moment when Xiang Wu waved his hand to signal the charge, Heredub did not resent his opponent, and if it was himself, he would only make the same choice.

He also understood that at this moment, the Tieli Kingdom would no longer exist.

……

Hades Arm.

Thousands of people faced hundreds of people, and there was not so much imaginary fighting, and Crewe felt his blood getting cold little by little, like wind and snow penetrating his skin. He also felt like he was getting numb little by little.

Because there are constantly partners dying.

In the face of powerful warriors, Ebony and Quink also seemed to be overstretched, while the rest of the cloud cavalry showed invincible strength but could not compete with the warriors after all.

When Crewe thought this was the most desperate death, he never thought that the next scene would make him feel so suffocated.

He had recently suffered what he thought should have been the hardest blow. As a general of ordinary faith, he became a demon. At this time, the cloud cavalry team on the battlefield suddenly stopped moving.

When they were fighting with the warriors, they suddenly stopped all their movements because of the great pain, and they were powerful cloud cavalry troops, and they couldn't bear such pain at all in the process of drug backlash.

They are not stupid, they naturally know that the present is a death situation, and at this time, the drug is backlash, and the only thought in their divine consciousness is to finish this charge.

But they couldn't. Naturally, they can't hold the iron spear steadily, and they naturally can't have any combat power anymore. They really want to charge to death, they don't want to choose to freeze to death, or die of weakness, and they don't want to choose to spend the rest of their lives, they look old at the moment, feel the weakness and cold they have never had, where do they still have the face to see their relatives?

They want to choose to die in battle!

Heleyue didn't expect the backlash of the drug to come so quickly, he thought it could last a little longer, just as he was appreciating the death of the army with great interest, the backlash of the drug brought it all to a standstill.

The sadness and anger in his eyes were undisguised.

He raised his iron spear and roared loudly:

"We don't have a future anymore! Soldiers, but this time, we've cornered the Imperials! We have been regarded as the Northern Barbarians for 700 years! In the past 700 years, countless of our people have died under the iron spear of the Empire! Even if you die, you will have to bear the infamy! Today is our dead end, but we can at least choose! Is it to die in battle, to die heroically like our ancestors or to choose to be exterminated by the cold! ”

From the wailing sound came the angry roar of Heredub.

Crewe let out a long breath, with determination in his eyes, he could feel the fighting spirit of his comrades, but no one responded to Hereyue's words, he had to admit that Hereyue was really a very incurring person. But at this moment, no soldier can fight again, of course they want to fight, but they don't have the strength.

This is the Hades arm, which is colder and worse than the snowfield. They are also facing Imperial warriors who are a hundred times more powerful than the Imperial soldiers. Tie Li Guo is completely finished.

At this time, on the side of the imperial warriors, the warriors also slowly realized from the shock, some of them did not know why the strength of the White Cloud Cavalry was so strong, and at this moment they finally learned that they relied on a certain drug, but this kind of medicine was really terrible for them. It has been able to burst out with powerful combat power for so long, and the picture of the backlash is even more shocking, and a person who is alive and well has become a dying old man in the blink of an eye.

It's just that people in the rivers and lakes will take revenge if they have revenge. They don't choose to give up their rival because of their opponent's state.

Heleiyue's words moved Xiao Ye, but Xiao Ye couldn't stop everyone from taking revenge. In the same way, even though Heleiyue's words could not make Tie Li's Cloud Cavalry burst out again, that momentum did not weaken, but because of the mourning of checkmate, an unprecedented killing intent erupted.

They are hungry to die in battle.

The warriors of the empire also felt this killing intent, and they were eager to avenge their comrades.

A massacre will unfold.

……

Crewe, of Hades' arm, looked up.

Li Nianyun from the snow field raised his head.

They walked step by step, with a heavy gait and a certain determination.

It may be his last day to march to the front line of Hades' Arm Cloud Cavalry, and he has been fighting since he was a teenager, thinking that his life will eventually be spent dying on the battlefield, or looking at the mountains and rivers of the south with his people on the head of the Frost River.

Li Nianyun walked to the center of the snowfield battlefield, and walked to the middle of Heredubu and Xiang Wu. He wandered among the rivers and lakes, happy and leisurely, young and promising, he thought that his life would be a detached escape, or a boring river and lake in Yunci Valley when he was old.

But at this moment, whether it is Kru in the arm of Hades, or Li Nianyun on the snowfield.

They all have things they have to do.

Too many people have died in this war between nations, and even if some of them are still alive, they have long lost their futures. But Crewe didn't think so. Li Nianyun didn't think so either.

Because people, only when they live, will encounter good things, no matter how alive they live, no matter how painful they live, it is better than dying without doing anything.

Kru is no longer the elite of Tieli who has been active on the battlefield all his life, and Li Nianyun is not the lazy Jianghu man. Life is so short, it may be a blessing to go through life in a regular manner, but when the time comes, you should not hesitate to make a choice.

Li Nianyun chose so, and so did Crewe.

There should be an experience in life, including the consciousness of dying to save something, even if it deviates from one's own trajectory.

When the warriors of the Hades arm decided to rise up, when the imperial army in the snowy fields was about to charge.

Crewe's figure finally came to the front of all the warriors.

Li Nianyun's figure finally came to the two coaches.
