A violent explosion not far away caught his attention.

Ye Xiaofei didn't even have time to rejoice in escaping, he stomped his foot and turned into a black shadow and flew into the air. He could see more clearly, the river formed by the ice spikes flew from one side of the sky to the other. At the end of the line, a golden streamer was small, but it was like a barrage, firmly blocking the ice in the air.

"That's? Girl! ”

His eyes widened, he didn't dare to slack off, and rushed to the battlefield as fast as he could.

The Fighting Spirit Sword and the Living Spirit Sword complemented each other, the red and white rays of light rose and fell, and with a blow of the sword blade storm, the powerful sword air flow went upstream, sweeping the ice spike flow backwards five or six hundred meters.

"Brother, are you still alive?"

The Ice Cicada Insect Emperor's attacks continued to flow, and Fluttershy had no chance to breathe, and the sudden appearance of a powerful assist made her breathe a heavy sigh of relief, and her sore right arm was able to stretch a little, and the shallow fingers holding the hilt of the sword were already white, caused by excessive force and blood loss, and a moment of respite was enough to make the pale fingers ruddy and full of vitality.

"Listen to your tone, as if I shouldn't be alive. There is a monster hidden under that iceberg, and that mountain is strange, so don't approach it easily. ”

The iceberg almost trapped him to death and killed him, so he hurriedly reminded Ye Xiaodie. Behind him were the retreating Ice Clan, there were more than 10,000 in the valley, and there were only three or four thousand survivors at this time, and in a short time, six or seven thousand Ice Clan people actually died, and his heart sank suddenly.

Ye Xiaodie parried alone, which was a little difficult, but joining forces with Ye Xiaofei seemed to be at ease. Ye Xiaofei is the main defense, she assists at a high speed, and few ice spikes can pass them to join forces to defend and better protect the ice people.

"Brother, do you want to summon the north wind?"

The Golden Wing Titan Giant Beifeng, the peak powerhouse of the upper legendary rank, is thousands of meters tall after transformation, the defense is amazing, the power is infinite, the most deadly shortcoming before cannot fly, can only be called the king of the ground, but with the Golden Wing, he can soar for nine days, which is really a hegemon under the sky, powerful racial characteristics, and even qualified and terrifying Frost Dragon, he is Ye Xiaofei's last hole card. This hole card can only be played to its best if it is played against the Frost Dragon, and if it is exposed early, it will inevitably be half the effort.

He shook his head and swung out two huge sword qis, condensing into a cross sword slash, counterattacking the endless flow of ice spikes.

"Our goal is to protect the Ice Clan from leaving, that monster is not our target, you and I may not be able to defeat it together, but this place is too close to the Glacier Crown, and dragging it down will only attract more fierce beasts."

As the Ice Clan retreated another thousand meters, Ye Xiaofei and Ye Xiaodie immediately retreated the sniper point by a thousand meters, and they were more than 8,000 meters away from the iceberg, and the attack speed and intensity of the Ice Spike Flow began to plummet.

"Brother, what kind of monster is it, the attack power is so far."

She said and retreated back, rising into the sky, carefully looking at the iceberg in the distance, but it was only in vain, she found nothing, she looked back, and was pleasantly surprised to see that thousands of meters away, the reinforcements of the Nine Elders were coming quickly, the number was about two thousand, with a large number of supplies.

"Brother, reinforcements have arrived, our reinforcements."

Ye Xiaofei nodded, he didn't dare to slack off in his heart, cut off all the ice spikes, the more critical the moment, the more he couldn't relax, and his sharp gaze swept every piece of ice, looking for potential dangers.

"Girl, don't take it lightly, be vigilant."

Perhaps, in the eyes of the Ice Cicada Insect Emperor, more than 3,000 Ice Clan people were not enough for it to dispatch, until the Ice Clan and the reinforcements completely converged, there was no accident, the ice spike flow began to weaken, and when Ye Xiaofei retreated to a distance of 10,000 meters, it took the initiative to give up the attack and shrink up. The striking iceberg slowly receded, revealing the first glimpse of the ice valley.

"That's a huge trap!"

Ye Xiaofei pointed to the ice valley, and was still afraid in his heart, the flaw in the blood pool, the Ice Cicada Insect Emperor would definitely repair it, and the next time he fell into it, I am afraid that there was only a dead end. That hell place, it's exhausting to think about. In order to prevent Ye Xiaodie from taking it lightly, he described everything that happened before without missing anything.

After Ye Xiaodie heard this, she also felt a burst of fear for him.

"Brother, you can get out of the trap of the upper legendary rank. You're amazing. ”

Ninth Elder Novago flew over and interrupted the intimate conversation between the two.

"Thank you Elder Ye for saving the Ice Clan, your credit, the God of Ice and Snow will definitely not forget."

It is the basic etiquette of nobles to say a few good words when they meet, and Ye Xiaofei, who is straightforward and fast-talking, usually does not do this, but it is very useful.

"Relying on the brilliance of the God of Ice and Snow to be able to escape, Elder Nine, I wonder if the evacuation work is going well?"

In the distance, the Ice Clan were receiving reinforcements, mostly the corpses of the beasts collected on the battlefield, which were their only food.

"Material supply, food supply, treatment of the wounded, etc., are being carried out in an orderly manner, Elder Ye, if the Ice Clan wants to enter the human realm, I am afraid it will not be a difficult thing."

Within the empire, there are elves, dwarves, and a lot of non-human races, but it does not mean that the empire accepts any race, such as the ice tribe was isolated from the empire at the beginning of the empire, and is collectively referred to as foreign races. For foreigners, the empire is extremely vigilant, and in the impression of the empire, the foreigners have only two purposes, to subvert the empire, and to disrupt the borders, collectively called the enemy.

Once they get close to the borders of the Empire, what awaits them will not be hot food, but cold blades, resisting their approach. Even if they said that they wanted to join the empire, they were not very persuasive, and before that, the foreigners had used the means of false submission to set off a huge border crisis.

"Don't worry, in the thirty-six cities of the Western Regions, I am the general of Zhenbei, except for the general of Loulan Town, I am the highest rank of military general, I will vouch for you."

When the Nine Elders heard this, their sadness subsided, and they even showed a rare smile, turned around to arrange things, and urged the team to speed up. With hope, there is naturally motivation.

However, Ye Xiaodie tugged at his hand to make sure that the Nine Elders had gone far enough, and said in a low voice: "Brother, you may have forgotten that if we stole the Empire's heavy weapon, the Lightning Ship, the position of General Zhenbei will definitely be gone, and there are even people who are recognized as sinners by the Empire." If you vouch for the Ice Clan, I'm afraid it will only make the war happen faster. ”

When the Ninth Elder turned around, Ye Xiaofei's face was full of sadness, as if the Nine Elders' sorrow had been successfully grafted onto him. Sometimes scratching his ears and grasping his hands, sometimes frowning and contemplating.

"Of course I won't forget, we took a boat, no, didn't that come?"

The dark clouds in the sky rolled in both directions, and a metallic black object fell on it, but a large hole appeared at the bottom, which looked very dilapidated. The left side was like someone had bitten it, and a piece was missing, and a large hole appeared in the bridge, which should have attracted the most attention, and the left and right sides were transparent, and even the internal parts could be seen.

In short, the lightning ship that drove out of the territory of the empire was an imperial heavy weapon, and the lightning ship at this time was a broken ship.

Ye Xiaofei thought to himself, if this ship appeared in the empire, the people who wanted to kill him would be able to form a circle around the outer city wall of Loulan City.

A hundred years of craftsmanship, the painstaking efforts of the Empire, and the magical treasure condensed by the power of the Empire - the Lightning Ship, how many people's hearts and minds.

Squeak squeak——————

The lightning ship slowly stopped in front of them, but the harsh sound of metal grinding made people worry about whether the broken ship would disintegrate in the air. The hatch creaked open, and two people sprang out. Thor and Deputy Captain Zarin stood opposite each other.

"A warm welcome to the Captain."

Ye Xiaofei cautiously landed on the bridge, under the bridge was the big hole that ran through the hull, and he was worried that landing hard would make the bridge fall.

"Finally, I can still fly, Thor, Vice Captain Zarin, you don't have to chill me."

There's probably nothing more ironic than a warm welcome to the captain on top of a hole.

"Vice Captain Zalin, where's your Lord Mozi?"

In the history of the empire, the thirty-six spaceships of the Western Regions were weapons, and Mozi was the brain that controlled the weapons, and only it could surpass the limits of human beings to exert the true combat power of the spaceship. Therefore, every crew member of the spaceship offered Mozi as an ancestor.

"Lord Mozi is in the command room, and he is preparing to report the damage to the lightning ship for your lordship."

"It's windy outside, let's go inside!"

Crossing the hatch, everyone habitually removed their armor, even though they knew in their hearts that the current lightning ship did not have much combat power.

Ye Xiaofei's gluttonous soul armor with black gas. Ye Xiaodie's Pixiu soul armor with red light. All of a sudden, the passage was smoky.

As they entered the command room, Mozi flew out of the core formation.

"Welcome the two masters back safely." Mozi took his finger and tapped it, and the holographic projection appeared on the appearance of the lightning ship, as well as the internal structure under the perspective, and said, "The damage to the ship's hull is more than thirty-five percent. Among them, the weapon system is completely paralyzed, well, to put it simply, part of the power system is barely able to function, only the command room and a few cabin heating systems can be used, only the communication projection system of the command room can be used, all other systems, all functions are temporarily paralyzed and unavailable. ”

The Lightning Ship is even more miserable than it seems.

"Master, I can fly with it, I have a lot of strength." The Golden Winged Titan Giant Northern is kind and kind.

However, what Ye Xiaofei was anxious about was not whether he could fly or not, but how to pack it up and go back to the empire.

"Vice Captain Zarin, you are a member of the system, the last captain of the Lightning Ship. What would happen if we drove the current Lightningship back home? ”

Deputy Captain Zalin Teng Teng took two steps back, swallowed his saliva, and spit out a few words: "Kill all ———— heads"

There was a dead silence in the command room, and a pin drop could be heard.

"Vice Captain Zarin, is it that serious?"

"I'm not finished yet, after killing the head, the corpse will be refined into an undead, and the soul will be devoured by demons————"

Ye Xiaofei swallowed his saliva, didn't say a word, turned his head and left the command room. The iron law of the empire is not something that a few of them can shake, since the deputy captain Zalin said so, the empire will definitely do so. It's cool when you're flying a boat, it's cool when you're firing a gun, and it's cool when you're hitting a mountain with a spaceship. Now I want to die.

"Brother, or we won't go back." Ye Xiaodie chased after her, weakly suggesting.

Ye Xiaofei just shook his head, where else can he go if he doesn't go? Without the protection of the Empire, it is very dangerous outside, and he can die at any time, and the mission of the Emperor of the Sun is really inseparable from the power of the Empire. Otherwise, you won't even know where the Black Dragon Kingdom is. What else to talk about purifying the Ancient War Demon Tree.

"If you don't die in the northern frontier, you will be clicked by the empire."

The lightning ship was silent, the mood of the team members was low, and even the victory of the Ice Clan failed to stir up the slightest wave among them, and they were getting closer and closer to the border of the empire, and instead of the joy of returning home, they were more and more sad one by one, and they were getting harder and harder day by day.

It was almost dusk. It was only more than three hundred miles from the border of the Empire.

The Lightning Ship made a big turn from its intended course and swayed towards the east. A figure watched the lightning ship leave, only to feel light, and slowly fell into the ranks of the Ice Clan.

From this day on, the steel spaceship that had been hanging over the heads of the Ice Clan for more than ten days disappeared, and no one knew where it went.

Three days later, the border town of the empire, Yanmen Guancheng.

The wolf smoke is everywhere, the alarm bell is ringing, the war drums are thundering, the flag is hunting, the city wall is towering, and the crowd is surging.

Yanmen Pass is guarded by one main and two deputies.

The main general Xu Xiong and the deputy generals are Xu Hu and Guan Xing respectively. Adjutant General Guan Xing led cavalry troops to patrol the border and inspect various outposts. In the cold winter, the mountains are covered with snow and snow, and the roads are impassable, and only the griffons can carry out patrols. The winter of the border is very dangerous, fierce beasts attack the border, it is common for the soldiers of the entire outpost to die en masse, and remote places will not even be discovered in the spring of the next year, or directly become a ghost outpost.

The beast broke through the border and flowed into the empire, which would immediately cause huge casualties, and the entire village would disappear, and the outside world would not know. Winter in the Western Regions is the most terrifying, with death and destruction at any moment.

Once the city falls, the imperial frontier defense line will collapse, and half of the Western Regions will be completely exposed to the predatory range of fierce beasts.

Winter in the Western Regions has always been a thorny problem for the Empire. Heavy snow covers the mountain, the traffic is inconvenient, and the news is blocked. The empire has tried its best to build thirty-six magic ships in an attempt to fundamentally reverse the crisis in the northern frontier, but it can only provide town-level rescue, villages and the like, and they are powerless.

Every winter, the villages of the Western Regions tremble in the midst of destruction until they are completely wiped out.

Terrans have infinite possibilities for growth, but the starting point can only be described as humble. The strength of a newborn human being is civilian-level. Those who do not have qualifications can only be civilians and need protection. Even if they have the qualifications and can cultivate, they have to climb up slowly. Transformation level, micro level, feather level. A reborn Legendary Tier.

Seventy percent of human beings are destined to be civilians for the rest of their lives. Twenty-five percent of human beings can only grow to the spirit level, and four percent of human beings are lucky enough to become advanced level. Less than one percent of humans are capable of becoming feathered. Naturally, there are Legendary Ranks, but the number is very few.

You have the qualifications to grow, but the cruel reality will not let you grow up completely.

If you want to grow, you have to go through hardships, which often means death, and having qualifications is one thing, and you can really grow up to less than one-tenth.

If it weren't for the strong ability to reproduce and the huge population base, the Terrans would not have been able to become an empire.
