From the pure blood dragon clan, I started to become a human being

Chapter 108 Demonic Essence
A thousand elite cavalry quickly approached the border of the fortress county.

At the end of his sight, Jiang Yuan had already seen the middle-aged Duke sitting on a white horse.

He has a solemn face, long and half-white hair, and is holding a dark red spear. It has a rather strange appearance, and nearly half of it is made of sharp edges, a bit like a two-handed heavy sword with an overly long handle.

"General, the other side seems to be preparing to charge." Daidas shouted excitedly.

On the opposite side, the cavalry behind the Duke all raised their lances. For the elite, they were equipped with more than one lance, because the strong impact caused by the horses reaching extreme speed would cause the gun barrels to break.

Esdeath didn't reply. She saw her military boots hit the horse's head, and icicles rose from the spot. She was instantly high in the sky. The horse's front legs were fractured, and its head hit the ground hard, exploding into a ball of blood.

High in the sky, cold air spread wildly, and giant ice blocks hundreds of meters in diameter were formed in the blink of an eye. The unparalleled mass drove the surrounding airflow during the fall, and the dull howling of the wind oppressed the nerves of the cavalry.

The closer to the ground, the larger the shadow that shrouded the ground. The horses on both sides were frightened. The enemy continued to run wildly because they were in a panic. The enemy stayed still because they were at the point of fall, and the horses became stiff with fear.

Jiang Yuan looked up and looked at the giant ice cubes smashing forward. The blood-type Teigu, Devil's Essence, was said to be made from the blood of super dangerous species in the Far North. It could freely create and control ice.

With her body carrying the power of a super dangerous species, and judging from the compatibility between Esdeath and the Demonic Essence, she may have inherited it all. With human wisdom, combat skills and dexterity, her overall combat power is even better than the source. Now The only difference is adaptation and development.

The Duke on the horse sighed helplessly. Although Bude's letter said that Esdeath was extremely close to that level, it was still shocking to see him. At the age of 19, it was certain that he would become the strongest in the future. And that day won't be too far away, maybe a year or two later, maybe even tomorrow.

Bloody light emerged from the tip of Crimson Ode's spear. As the light shrank, fine red arcs flashed around it. The Duke of Norfolk raised his spear, and an extremely thick beam of light surged into the sky.

In just an instant, half of the Duke's remaining black hair turned white, and wrinkles crawled into the corners of his eyes like nematodes.

There was an explosion at high altitude, and the violent light temporarily blinded all nearby creatures. The broken ice fragments smashed into the forest, countless trees collapsed, and dust and smoke were everywhere.

Daidas excitedly threw out the two large axes of the Teigu. Dozens of cavalrymen along the line were torn apart by the axe blades. The horses were unable to dodge due to their stiffness. The poor cavalrymen could only attack forcefully.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan could only express his gratitude. He jumped up in the air and landed on the head of the snake puppet that happened to appear. The snake's tail curled and swung the giant ape. The latter swept forward like a siege stone. More than two hundred cavalrymen were crushed into mud because they could not disperse. .

Immediately afterwards, our own cavalry rushed into the enemy's battle formation. The lances were raised, hit, penetrated, broken, and abandoned. Both sides suffered about 60 and 300 casualties respectively.

After the charge, Daidas turned his horse's head, and they had broken through the defense line of the Duke's guards.

Esdeath landed, the ice sword in his hand pointing directly at the enemy's head.

"Let me and my army pass."

"The army is stationed directly outside the fortress. We will provide at least two months of food, grass and ordnance, and you will dispatch an additional [-] soldiers. This is my bottom line. The army must not enter the fortress city," said the Duke of Norfolk.

There are 15 border troops stationed in four fortress cities. It is simply playing with fire to allow other troops to enter their own territory. Both sides are in the military, and they know all about their virtues. It is impossible to let thieves stay at home for a long time, otherwise even the Duke would not dare to I am sure I can suppress the mutation.

"Yes, I will not consume your troops at will, provided they are obedient."

The ice sword shattered, and just as Esdeath was about to pass by the Duke, an earth dragon suddenly emerged from under her feet and lifted her to a position slightly higher than the Duke.

Norfolk: "..." What bastard is so boring! ?
"I almost got trampled to death." Esdeath thought to herself.

After the confrontation, the Duke of Norfolk led the remaining cavalry back the same way.

Daidas suddenly turned his head because he felt that Jiang Yuan's mood beside him was obviously abnormal.

As soon as Esdeath's eyes fell on his subordinates, a chill ran down his back.

"Noel!"

The ice spear has already formed in his hand.

Jiang Yuan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had returned to normal. He had just thought of an interesting idea.

Norfolk was killed, the frontier army and the winter hunting troops started fighting, the foreign nationalities moved southward in an instant, all the central army of the empire moved northward, the resistance army rose in the south, the central part of Anning Road rebelled, the Supreme Throne was activated, and the entire empire was in chaos. Theus Returning to the city to collect the defeated troops and the refugees, slaves continued to devour and grow, and went straight to the imperial capital. The best situation would be to hold the emperor hostage and order the princes.

The High Throne cannot remain activated forever. The Great Cold Wave has not yet completely arrived. Esdeath has not reached the point where he is tied for the strongest in the empire in the original timeline. He is only 19 years old and cannot support the collapse of the building alone.

The most important thing is that Esdeath is fond of war. There is a chance to persuade her to play this chaotic game with him, but it is not high. Judging from the fact that the other party chooses the latter between his future love partner and his identity as an imperial general, The Empire, which had been able to provide a steady stream of wars, left an excellent impression on her.

To put it simply, Esdeath was born into a hunting nation. After the entire nation perished, the empire gave her a sense of belonging, just like even the top hunter needs a cave to rest in, even if no prey can harm it.

Daidas quietly moved away from his new companions, realizing that the abnormal emotion was malice, pure malice.

"What are you thinking." Esdeath came to the side, and Noel made her feel out of control.

"If you don't bet, you won't lose." Jiang Yuan said calmly. He was somewhat sure of killing the Duke just now, especially during the period of weakness after the opponent's attack, because the ability of Bafang was very suitable for Dui Zi with Crimson Aria, but the premise was If Esdeath doesn't stop him, he has to rely on his words.

"Daidas, go back and let Liwa lead the army straight to the outside of the fortress. We will not enter the county." Esdeath ordered.

"Understood." Daidas led a group of cavalry back.

"Noel, can you detect high altitudes?"

"can."

"I will send additional sentries. You go to find out the information about the enemy general. If there is any abnormality, retreat without taking any risks." Esdeath took out a stack of yellowed old papers from the pocket of his white military uniform. It looked like it was from Where are the files torn directly from.

After Jiang Yuan took it, he found that it contained information about the main figures and cities of foreign nations, but it should have come from many years ago.

After the army enters the outside of the fortress, it still needs to set up camp. The strength of the wall must be at least enough to withstand a cavalry charge. Seventy-three thousand soldiers plus twenty thousand horses. A rough calculation means that sixteen thousand three hundred and eighty stones of food will be consumed every day. Not including waste and civilian needs, the hoarding and transportation of grain and grass took a period of time to prepare, and during this period, intelligence acquisition became the top priority.
