Chapter Twenty-Five: The Night King

"Twenty thousand troops! Twenty thousand troops! It's 20,000 pigs, and you can't cut them all in a day, why are they gone in one night?! ”

In the simple palace of the king, Ji Xu, who was wearing a white beast jacket, was furious.

The two stepped forward to comfort them, and one said: "The Night King is angry, presumably Lord Ji Hui also has a hard time, after all, the people in the south are cunning and deceitful. ”

Another person stepped forward and chimed in: "Yes, Lord Ji Hui has been invincible all the way south, and has captured the spirit ore vein of Bi Hui Kingdom for you, the Night King, which is enough to reveal Lord Ji Hui's ability to lead the army." ”

Ji Xuan snorted coldly and said, "So what? Now it's not that he has been beaten back, and when he comes back, I will personally inquire to see who the Divine can slaughter 20,000 troops in one night. ”

After saying that, he sat down on the deerskin chair, clenched the wooden wine glass in his hand, and faintly could see that several cracks had appeared on the wine glass.

......

Thirty years ago, the Yuan Zhou continent went to the north, the realm of eternal east.

Snowflakes outside the window swirled in the air with a biting cold wind, and the candlelight inside the window was bright, adding a touch of warmth to the long cold night.

The candlelight on the wall is looking through the book in his hand, reading the words in an old, hoarse voice.

At that time, we were the masters of this continent, children basking in the golden sun and frolicking in the grass, there was no snow and ice, and there were no wild beasts, and this was the safest and happiest place - Yayoi Province, our common great country, until the rebels of wolf ambition appeared, they divided Yayoi Province, and the royal descendants were exterminated and expelled to this bitter cold desperate situation...

The child lying on the cashmere bed frowned, poked his head out of the thick woolen quilt, and stared straight at the ceiling: "Why are they doing this?" ”

"Because the greed for power has turned them into demons, and these demons have destroyed our homeland..."

"The descendants of Yayoi will never forget, and the oath of blood and sword will be fulfilled."

Speaking of this, the old woman took out a small jug with strips of cloth wrapped around her jacket pocket.

Pulling out the cork, a wisp of fragrance came out, the old woman closed her eyes and sniffed it with great enjoyment, raised the pot and took a sip of the clear snow dew wine, and then continued to speak: "Child, you are the bloodline inheritor of the supreme ruler of Yayoi Province, and you will be the sword of Yayoi Kingdom in the future, and one day you will take up the burden of reviving the empire, this is your mission." ”

The child turned to look at the old woman sitting on the edge of the bed and whispered; "Nurse, what about my brother?"

The old woman smiled, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were twisted together, and she looked at the yellowed pages of the book in her hand and said; "Your brother is a natural leader, and he has led us to survive in this desperate land, so you must grow up quickly and become his sword, protecting him and protecting his people."

The child looked at the ceiling and thought for a moment, then said firmly; "Nurse, I will definitely protect my brother and everyone!"

The old woman nodded with satisfaction, took another sip of snow wine, and said, "Then you have to learn martial arts from Sect Leader Doss, so that you will have the ability to protect everyone in the future, so you won't skip class now, right?" ”

The child hurriedly argued, "No, no, no! I didn't skip class, I was just a little tired and went to take a break! ”

Knock Knock Knock –

There was a knock on the half-hidden spruce door at the door of the dormitory, and then the tall young man in the black bear's fur shawl gently pushed the door open and walked in.

"The old man greets the Night King." The old woman got up and bent down to look at the cold young man in front of her, and said respectfully, this young man is the leader of the Vault Dweller, the Night King Ji Xu.

The two brothers, Ji Zhu, were the direct blood of the previous rulers of Yayoi Province, and after their leader, his father, was killed in a raiding battle in the south, and Ji Zhu was elected as the new leader, the new Night King.

"Brother! You're back! The child lifted the heavy woolen quilt and jumped out of bed happily.

Ji Xuan sighed hoarsely, "Brother Xu, I haven't seen you grow taller again for several months, and you are becoming more and more like a man." ”

The Yongdong Realm is barren in resources, and Ji Xu, as the leader, needs to lead his people to search for supplies to ensure survival, but it is more of a plunder than a search, and the process of plundering south usually takes months.

The old woman slowly closed the book and put it at the head of the bed, Ji Xuan glanced at it and asked, "What book?" ”

"History of the Yayoi Empire!" The child ran to the bedside, picked up the book and shook it in front of Ji Xu.

Ji Xuan took the book, looked at the old cover and said secretly: "The descendants of Yayoi will never forget, and the oath of blood and sword will eventually be fulfilled..."

The old woman looked at Ji Zhu with a smile, "Hehe, the old body retreated first, you brothers haven't seen each other for so long, let's talk about the old days, I won't bother." ”

"Okay, nurse, go and rest early, take care of my naughty brother, thank you for your hard work."

"The Night King is polite, this is the duty of the old body."

After speaking, the old woman walked out of the door with small steps backwards and gently closed the wooden door.

"Brother, when can you take me out?" Ji Xuan looked at Ji Xuan with wide eyes and asked.

"When will you be taller than this sword of mine?" Ji Zhu stood on the ground with the giant sword he was carrying, and the giant sword wrapped in strips of cloth was two heads higher than Ji Yu.

Ji Hao sat on the edge of the bed and shook her legs, "Brother, take me next time, I want to see what the south side is like, to see if our former home is the same as in the book." ”

Ji Zhu patted him on the shoulder and said hoarsely: "Okay, okay, let's talk about it next time I go south." ”

Then Ji Hui pestered Ji Zhu to tell the anecdotes of those who went south, and gradually the night was deeper, and the sleepiness came, and he fell asleep after listening to it.

......

A few days later, the fleet arrived at the docks of the Luyuan Jiejiang in the Vault Dweller's sphere of influence.

The Vault Dweller's territory is now very different from what it was decades ago, when they cowered in the snow and ice, and now they occupy the entire Deer Plains of the Bijan Kingdom to the south.

As far as the eye could see, the meadows were littered with their captive horses, as well as many soldiers in black armor, all plundered from the kingdom of Bishan.

"Are you going south again?" Ji Yu looked at these black-armored soldiers and asked.

A small leader replied, "Yes, General, this time the soldiers are gathered to prepare to plunder the border city of Yantian County in the Bibi Kingdom. ”

Ji Yu: "Then if there is anything else to grab, move to the south of the heavily guarded area." ”

The little boss smirked: "Where there are people, there are resources." ”

Ji Hao glanced up and down at the little leader, then turned to mount his horse and said, "Go ahead, I'm going back to take the blame." ”

"Let's go!"

Ji Hui shouted the order, and the entourage got on their horses one after another, and followed Ji Hui to meet the Night King, including the carriage carrying a large iron cage, in the iron cage was a hideous-looking ghoul, he stuffed his head between the iron railings, and roared at the cavalry behind, and the cavalry turned his eyes to the side of the road, trying not to look at the ghouls, after all, the ghoul's white pupils were too penetrating.
