Long Live The Emperor!

Chapter 24: The ghost queen

Views:

For the first time since the war between the two sides, the ghost soldiers began to retreat on the frontal battlefield.

The morale on Dashang's side was as high as ever, and the soldiers roared to death and killed them.

On the city wall, Deng Jue even forgot about his fatigue, rushed to the top of the city, grabbed the drumstick with both hands and started beating it vigorously.

All of a sudden, the drums shook the sky and the trombones roared!

Xia Ji held the black halberd tightly and ran quickly. He didn't care about the retreating Guifang soldiers behind him, but just chased after the group of frost giants.

The frost giants ran at an alarming rate, panting. They seemed to think that the mace would slow them down, so they threw it away, then started running wildly with their heads in their hands.

The entire battlefield presented a strange see-saw state.

The frost giants at the front ran extremely fast.

Then he chased the Seventh Prince of Shang, who was running equally fast.

Behind the seventh prince were retreating ghost soldiers and alien bandits.

After that, there are the Red Leopard Camp and the Knights of the Imperial Capital Jianghu...

The first two waves ran very fast, and soon they were completely out of touch with the ones behind them.

Deng Gongjiu looked worried and said, "Oh no, His Highness has caught up with us."

Having said that, following such an invincible His Highness, he felt his blood was burning at this moment. And according to his understanding of the ghosts, this was not a race that would set up an ambush. The sneak attack at Seal Wolf Pass was only that of the ghosts. It's just King Fang's arrangement.

Just take care of yourself.

Deng Gongjiu put aside his distracting thoughts, grasped the Qinglong Sword, and focused on chasing down the enemy.

Already completely far away from the battlefield.

The frost giants ran very fast.

As they ran, they looked back and saw that the black-armored monster was still chasing him in the moonlight. They all howled. As the number one warrior, Rollo ran faster than anyone else and was the best.

However, no matter how they ran, Xia Ji was able to chase them not far or close.

Seeing that they couldn't get rid of the strongest black-armored dwarf, the frost giants began to "take the unusual path".

They started climbing the mountain.

Giants use hard skills to climb mountains. The huge force in their hands can easily penetrate into the rocks, and the ice and frost have high adhesion, carrying them over the mountains and ridges.

Xia Ji stood in front of the cliff and watched the big guys start to climb the rock. He did not lag behind. He used his eighteen prison strength with both hands to penetrate the mountain and penetrate the rocks. He was as agile as a spiritual ape and chased after them.

The frost giants climbed over the cliff and continued to run while looking back.

Between the white snow, a clear black-armored figure was chasing behind like a god of death. The frost giants howled, and some even turned around and began to roar with unknown meaning. Although they roared, no giant stopped. pace.

While running.

While chasing.

This situation actually lasted for most of the day.

Run from late night to dawn, and then run from dawn to noon.

Xia Ji has an endless supply of Nine Yang True Qi to recover. Running does not consume much for him. On the contrary, the fatigue from the previous confrontation is slowly recovering.

Eventually, the frost giants ran into a canyon where ice and snow piled up.

Xia Ji followed directly and observed carefully. Suddenly he rolled his eyes and saw a lot of blue belly in the distance.

"This is... the station of the Frost Giants? Are all three thousand Frost Giants here?"

He shook his right hand, pointed the black halberd diagonally at the snow, and stood outside the giant's station.

The Frost Giant who ran all the way finally returned to the camp.

Their arrival awakened the sleeping giants, so their big bellies stood up. Nearly three thousand pairs of eyes stared maliciously at the black-armored dwarfs who followed them into the canyon.

However, Rollo and the group of frost giants who escaped hurriedly began to communicate.

After some unclear conversation between each other.

Nearly three thousand pairs of giants showed fear in their eyes. Their limited brain capacity finally understood one thing: this was no 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, roaring far away in the direction of Xia Ji.

Xia Ji translated their meaning inexplicably.

"Oh, damn, don't come over here!"

"Don't come here!"

"Hey, what about you, don't come over, I swear if you take another step forward, I will definitely resist, I swear!!"

Xia Ji took a step forward.

A frost giant suddenly roared and threw a boulder at the black-armored monster from a distance.

Xia Ji caught it easily and threw it back in a more violent way.

boom! !

The boulder fell to the ground.

The ground shook.

Three thousand pairs of eyes stared at the boulder. The giants weighed their strength and suddenly showed more cowardice and shrank back one after another.

Xia Ji suddenly felt happy in his heart.

The brain circuits of these frost giants are really strange. They never thought that a group of people would come to drive them away. If that happened, he would definitely have to run.

However, these giants seem to be thinking that "even the strongest warriors can't defeat him, and they certainly can't defeat him." In other words, these big guys actually only know how to use brute force and blood in their bodies, and are not good at fighting, let alone Not proficient in martial arts, and also very afraid of death, it can be said that he bullies the weak and fears the strong.

This made Xia Ji laugh and cry.

He took a few steps forward, but stopped. He could still fight against dozens of frost giants, but there were three thousand giants here.

Besides, the reason why he came here was not to fight with these giants.

He had never killed a giant before. This was not because the giant's frost blood froze the wound too quickly, but because he had some thoughts hidden in his heart.

"I hope we can wait."

Xia Ji stopped and began to wait patiently.

In the distance, a quarrel suddenly broke out among the three thousand frost giants. Rollo was holding his head and roaring without meaning.

Xia Ji really wanted to know what they were talking about, but he couldn't understand the language. He could only feel that the tallest and largest frost giant had a bit of fury in it, and a bit of treason in the fury.

Not long after…

A smaller person was pushed out by the giants.

He was a "little man" who was only 1.8 meters tall, with silver hair and blue eyes, and skin as white as ice, full of exotic charm.

The woman's blue eyes stared at Xia Ji, and she spoke fluently in the Central Plains language.

"I am the Lord of Ghost Fang and the daughter of Rollo, the first warrior of the Frost Giants, Tu Luo."

Xia Ji breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Wait...

This is the person he's looking for.

That's why he came here with hope.

His idea is simple: since the ghosts can ask three thousand frost giants to help, then there must be a "middleman".

And this master of the ghost side is obviously the "middleman".

She is a hybrid with Frost Giant blood. As for how she was born, there is no need to go into detail.

His thoughts flashed by, and Xia Ji raised his voice and said, "I am Xia Ji, the seventh prince of Shang Dynasty."

Tu Luo was stunned for a moment. She obviously didn't expect that the existence of the Frost Giants who repeatedly emphasized that "this is a monster, this is definitely not one of those dwarfs" actually had such an identity.

So Queen Guifang said calmly: "You are very strong, and your father and two uncles say you are a monster.

And I, Ghost Fang, and the Frost Giants have always respected true warriors.

Since you are here in the Imperial City, we will not attack the Imperial City.

From now on, we will not go wherever you are,

If you guard Fenglang Pass, we will not come to the pass. "

Xia Ji suddenly said: "What if this is not why I came here?"

Tu Luoqi said: "Then why are you?"

Xia Ji: "Alliance."

Tu Luo asked strangely: "Do you want to ally us to deal with the Turks, Quanrong? But as far as I know, you have a marriage alliance with the Turks."

Xia Ji said: "No, I am alone in alliance with you."

Tu Luo came to his senses and said, "So you only injured your father and uncle, but didn't kill a frost giant?"

Xia Ji smiled and was noncommittal. His goal from the beginning was not to defend the imperial city, nor to kill all the ghosts and frost giants, but to increase his control and trump card.

Tu Luo said: "I will discuss it with my father and uncle."

With that, she turned around and began talking to the other giants in a growling manner.

The three ten-meter-tall frost giants looked sideways in the direction of Xia Ji as they spoke.

Soon…

Tu Luo came out and said: "Father and uncle said that they are willing to be friends with truly strong people, but what do you want us to do for you?"

Xia Ji smiled and said, "Be friends."

"friend?"

“When you need help, lend a helping hand when you can.

Now the entire Great Shang Dynasty hates you, and if the Great Shang Dynasty has good relations with the Turks, they can attack you in the spring and summer. You have the Turks in the west, the Rakshasa in the north, and the Quanrong in the south. Will the Quanrong and the Rakshasa Kingdom definitely help you?

Although the frost giants are powerful, they are too affected by the seasons. If the records in ancient books are correct, in midsummer, the frost giants need to enter underground ice cellars, or go to the northern mountains and rivers in advance for aestivation to survive the hottest period.

That will be the end of you. "

Tu Luo thought for a moment and replied: "You are right."

Xia Ji said: "But I can help you, and now I also need your help, at least before spring."

Tu Luo said: "Your Majesty, Seventh Prince, can we discuss it in detail?"

Xia Ji said: "Why not?"

Tu Luo was also very courageous and walked directly towards Xia Ji. When the giant wanted to follow, she raised her hand to signal that she would not use it.

On the other side, Xia Ji walked over without hesitation. The two looked at each other, and then slowly sat down beside a natural stone platform in the center.

Xia Ji smiled and said: "Your Majesty the Queen, you see, our initial trust has been established in this way, isn't it?"

Tu Luo also smiled: "Then, His Highness Seventh, let's talk openly and honestly about how to make friends."
