24. The alliance of one man and one nation
For the first time since the Great War between the two sides, the Oni soldiers began to retreat on a frontal battlefield.
On the side of the big merchants, the morale was unprecedentedly high, and the soldiers shouted like vents, covering up the past.
On the city wall, Deng Jue forgot his tiredness, rushed to the city, grabbed the drumstick with both hands and began to beat violently.
For a time, the agitation was stirring, and the trombone was excited!
...
Xia Ji held the black halberd tightly and ran quickly, he didn't care about the retreating ghost soldiers behind him, he just chased behind the group of frost giants.
The Frost Giants ran so breathlessly that they seemed to think that the mace would slow them down, so they threw them away, and then began to run wildly with their heads in their hands.
The entire battlefield presents a strange tug-of-war.
The first frost giants are fast thieves,
After chasing the Seven Princes of the Great Merchants who ran as fast,
Behind the Seven Princes are the retreating ghost soldiers and alien thieves,
After that, there is the Red Leopard Camp and the Imperial Capital Jianghu Knights...
The first two waves ran very fast, and it didn't take long for them to be completely out of touch with the rest of the race.
Deng Gongjiu said with a worried look, "Oh no, His Highness has caught up." ”
Having said that, with such an invincible highness, he only felt that his blood was burning at this time, and according to his understanding of the ghost party, this was not a race that would set up an ambush, and the sneak attack of the wolf pass was just the arrangement of the ghost king.
It's better to take care of yourself.
Deng Gongjiu put aside his distracting thoughts, grabbed the Qinglong Knife, and focused on chasing and killing the enemy.
...
A place that has been completely removed from the battlefield.
The Frost Giants ran fast.
As they ran, they looked behind them, and saw that the black-armored monster in the moonlight was still chasing, and they all let out a wail, and Rollo, as the first warrior, ran faster than anyone else, and rode in the dust.
However, no matter how they ran, Xia Ji could chase after them not far or close.
Seeing that they couldn't get rid of the strongest black-armored dwarf, the Frost Giants began to "go off the beaten path".
They began to climb the mountain.
Giants climb mountains with hard work, the great force of their hands can easily penetrate the rocks, and the frost has a high adhesion, carrying them over the mountains.
Xia Ji stood in front of the cliff, watching the big guys actually start climbing, he didn't lag behind, and used the eighteen town prison strength with his hands to penetrate the mountains and stones, so that he was as agile as a spirit ape, and chased after him.
The Frost Giants climbed over the cliff and continued to look back as they ran.
I saw that between the snow, the clear black-armored figure chased after him like a god of death, and the frost giants let out a wail, and some even turned around and began to let out a loud roar of unknown meaning, although they roared, but no giant stopped.
While running.
While chasing.
In this way, it lasted for most of the day.
Run from late night to dawn, and from dawn to noon.
Xia Ji has an endless stream of Jiuyang True Qi to recover, and running is not too much consumption for him, but the fatigue from the previous confrontation is slowly recovering.
...
Eventually, the Frost Giants run into a canyon where ice and snow accumulate.
Xia Ji followed directly in, observing carefully, and suddenly his eyes flickered, and he saw that there were big blue bellies in the distance, and there were quite a few of them.
"Here it is... Where are the Frost Giants? Three thousand Frost Giants are here?"
With a shake of his right hand, the black halberd pointed diagonally at the snow, and stood on the periphery of the giant's quarters.
And the frost giants who had run all the way finally returned to camp.
Their arrival woke up the sleeping giants, and their bellies stood up, and nearly three thousand pairs of eyes stared maliciously at the black-armored dwarf who had followed them into the canyon.
However, Rollo and the fleeing group of frost giants hurriedly began to communicate.
After a conversation of unknown meaning between each other.
Nearly three thousand pairs of giants had a look of fear in their eyes, and their limited brain capacity finally understood one thing: this was not an ordinary black-armored dwarf, but the strongest black-armored dwarf.
So, the giants stood up one by one, holding big sticks in front of them, and roared far away in the direction of Xia Ji.
Xia Ji inexplicably translated their meaning.
"Oh, damn it, don't come here!"
"Don't come here!"
"Hey, what about you, don't come here, I swear you take one step further, I will definitely resist, I swear!!"
Xia Ji took a step forward.
A frost giant let out a roar of rage, throwing a boulder at the black-armored monster in the distance.
Natsu caught it with great ease, and threw it back in a more violent way.
Rumble!!
Boulders fall to the ground.
The ground shook.
Three thousand pairs of eyes stared at the boulder, and the giants weighed their strength, and suddenly they all showed a more cowardly posture, and shrank back one after another.
Xia Ji suddenly felt a sense of joy in his heart.
The brain circuits of these frost giants were so strange that they hadn't thought that a group of people would come and drive them away, and if they did, he would have to run.
However, these giants seem to be thinking that "even the strongest warrior can't beat him, and he definitely can't beat him", or that these big guys actually only know how to use brute force and blood in their bodies, and are not good at fighting, let alone proficient in martial arts, and are also very afraid of death, which can be described as the ultimate in bullying the soft and afraid of the hard.
This made Xia Ji laugh.
He took a few steps forward, but he still stopped, facing dozens of frost giants and still fighting, but there were three thousand giants here.
What's more, the reason why he came here was not to fight these giants.
He hadn't killed a giant before, not because the giant's frost blood froze wounds too quickly, but because he had some thoughts hidden in his heart.
"Hopefully wait. ”
Xia Ji stopped and began to wait patiently.
In the distance, there was a sudden quarrel among the three thousand frost giants, and Rollo was holding his head and letting out a roar of unknown meaning.
Xia Ji wanted to know what they were talking about, but he couldn't understand the language, so he could only feel that the tallest and largest frost giant had some fury in it, and the fury had some taste of the nest.
It didn't take long...
A small man was pushed out by the giants.
It was a "little man" who was only 1.8 meters tall, and he was a woman with not blue skin, but snow-white, full of exotic style.
The woman's dark blue eyes stared at Xia Ji, and when she opened her mouth, it turned out to be fluent in the Central Plains language.
"I am the Lord of the Ghost Side, and the daughter of the First Warrior of the Frost Giants, Luo Luo. ”
Xia Ji breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
Wait a minute...
That's the guy he's looking for.
That's why he came here with hope.
His idea was simple: since the ghost party could ask for the help of three thousand frost giants, there must be a "middleman".
And this master of the ghost side is obviously the "middleman".
She's a half-breed with the blood of a frost giant, and there's no need to go into detail as to how she was born.
Thoughts flashed, and Xia Ji raised his voice: "I am Xia Ji, the seventh prince of the Great Shang. ”
Tu Luo was stunned for a moment, she obviously didn't expect that the frost giants repeatedly emphasized that "this is a monster, this is by no means those little dwarfs", and it was actually such an identity.
So, the queen of the ghost side said calmly: "You are very strong, my father and two uncles said that you are a monster.
And I, the Ghost Fang and the Frost Giant, have always respected true warriors,
Since you are in the Imperial City, then we will not fight the Imperial City,
In the future, where you are, we will not go,
If you guard the Sealed Wolf Pass, we will not come to the Seal Realm. ”
Xia Ji suddenly said, "If I came here, wouldn't it be for this?"
Tu Luoqi said: "Then why are you?"
Xia Ji: "Alliance." ”
Tu Luo wondered: "Do you want to ally us against the Turks, Inurong? But as far as I know, you have a marriage with the Turks. ”
Xia Ji said: "No, I am the only one who forms an alliance with you. ”
Tu Luo came to his senses and said, "So you only injured your father and uncle, and didn't kill a frost giant?"
Xia Ji smiled and was noncommittal, from the beginning, his purpose was not to defend the imperial city, nor to kill all the ghosts and frost giants, but to increase his control, as well as his hole cards.
Tu Luo said: "I will discuss it with my father and uncle. ”
With that, she turned around and began to talk to the other giants in a roaring manner.
The three ten-meter-tall frost giants said as they looked sideways in the direction of Xia Ji.
Not allong...
Tu Luo came out and said, "Father and uncle said that they are willing to be friends with real strong people, but what do you want us to do for you?"
Xia Ji smiled: "Be friends." ”
"Friends?"
"When you need help, you can lend a helping hand.
Now the whole Great Shang is hostile to you, and if the Great Shang is friendly with the Turks, they can wait until spring and summer to flank you, you have the Turks in the west, the Rakshasa in the north, and the Dog Rong in the south, will the Dog Rong and the Rakshasa Kingdom definitely help you?
Although the Frost Giants are powerful, they are too affected by the seasons, and if the ancient books are correct, in the middle of summer, the Frost Giants need to enter the underground ice cellars, or go to the mountains and rivers of the Northland in advance to sleep in order to survive the hottest time.
Then will be your end. ”
Tu Luo thought for a moment and replied, "You're right. ”
Xia Ji said: "But I can help you, and now I need your help too, at least until spring." ”
Tu Luo said: "Can Your Highness the Seventh discuss it in detail?"
Xia Ji said: "Why not?"
Tu Luo was also quite bold and courageous, and walked directly towards Xia Ji, and a giant wanted to follow, and she also raised her hand to signal that she didn't need to.
On the other side, Xia Ji walked over unhurriedly, the two looked at each other, and then slowly sat down on a natural stone platform in the center.
Xia Ji smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you see, our initial trust has been established in this way, isn't it?"
Tu Luo also smiled: "Then, Your Highness the Seventh, let's talk openly and honestly about how to make friends." ”
