Chapter 5: Chasing the Dead to the North

"Your Majesty, General Lucifer won the first battle and killed more than 10,000 enemies!"

In the empire, His Majesty the Emperor is having a meeting, but there is no such thing as a court meeting. The Emperor loves the people like his own son, and often summons officials from all walks of life for meetings due to various people's livelihood issues.

At this time, a guard came in quickly and said excitedly.

"What!"

His Majesty the Emperor immediately stood up, shocked by the news.

Although he also has expectations, he is still more uneasy. He doesn't know how many of the 100,000 soldiers sent this time will come back. If they can't come back, what will their families do? Even the issue of pensions has just been discussed. discussed.

I didn’t expect there would be results now.

"What are the casualties of our troops?"

His Majesty the Emperor then asked the question that concerned him most.

"Only more than a hundred of our troops were injured, and no one died!"

The injuries of more than 100 people were due to the cold, not battle damage.

"Okay, okay!"

His Majesty the Emperor was extremely excited. You must know that even the Imperial Guards could not annihilate more than ten thousand enemies in one battle. This was beyond the imagination of the Emperor and officials. Even the generals were dumbfounded and doubted the authenticity of the intelligence. .

But then the intelligence said that because of transportation difficulties, the corpse was not considered for transportation, but the empire had advanced things like cameras, so Lucifer had a Jingguan piled up.

It was horrifying to watch, but His Majesty the Emperor just couldn't bear it and accepted it, especially since it could be seen that it was not killing good people to take credit, nor was it looking for old, weak women and children of foreign races to prop up the scene, all of them were the corpses of adult men. !

There were tens of thousands, if not more than ten thousand. With so many corpses, it was clear that Lucifer was not lying.

After the empire received the news, Lucifer had crossed the northern border and entered the territory of the foreign nations in the north.

Along the way, the number of northern aliens who died at Lucifer's hands has exceeded the number reported to the empire several times, and the 100,000-strong army began to be somewhat short of manpower.

Because the deeper you go, the colder it becomes. It's hard to imagine how Esdeath and her army stayed in such a ghost place for so long. Anyway, everyone in the army brought by Lucifer has been frostbitten.

The foreign nations in the north also learned about the emergence of a powerful general and Teigu user in the empire. Lucifer's freezing breath and heat vision do look very much like the abilities of the Teigu user.

The key is that this guy is too lazy. Every time he takes a breath, he dies.

It may be a weakness for the northern foreigners to think that he can fight in close combat, otherwise he wouldn't be so afraid of being approached.

After thinking of this, he sent several Teigu users to assassinate Lucifer.

Then these Teigu users were tragically killed by Lucifer.

With the heat vision present, Lucifer actually has no time to accumulate power, and he thinks it’s good to be as powerful as Darkseid. Anyway, there are basically no people who can’t be killed by the heat vision. Now Lucifer’s heat The sight was already terrible.

Even if there was, it would only be a matter of one punch.

The foreign ethnic groups in the north chose to retreat after several Teigu envoys' assassinations failed and there was no more news, but Lucifer kept pursuing them, although the speed was not fast due to the wind and snow.

However, as the saying goes, the most terrifying thing is not immediate death, but death that is constantly approaching.

Lucifer's army is chasing after the foreign peoples in the north unswervingly, and those who fall behind will be killed. And being chased like this, they can't rest and live peacefully, and can only keep running away.

However, this is a cold area with a very harsh living environment, almost as bad as the Arctic, maybe even worse?

Therefore, no matter how familiar they are with this place, it is inevitable that people will start to lose their numbers due to natural environmental factors.

First they abandoned the old, weak, women and children who couldn't run fast, then the injured and disabled...

"It's starting to get chaotic."

After Lucifer saw a dozen lone adult men of the northern alien race protecting a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, he knew that the northern alien race was beginning to have disagreements and internal strife, because these people all had injuries and bloodstains on their bodies.

When they saw the appearance of Lucifer and the army, they knelt down and surrendered. However, Lucifer had already seen many people on the border of the empire who knelt down and surrendered being massacred by them. Lucifer felt that he was not qualified to forgive these northern foreign nations for them.

Moreover, it is not convenient for them to lead so many people to chase the northern foreigners who continue to flee, so they might as well kill them all.

Accompanied by curses, cries, and screams, the imperial army did not show mercy. They also saw many horrific scenes and understood that these people were completely beasts in human skin and did not deserve pity or sympathy.

"General, our supplies do not allow us to continue our pursuit."

Lucifer's adjutant's face has changed a lot. After all, he has experienced too many hardships. The skin on his face has fallen off, healed and fallen off again. He is obviously a very handsome young man, but now he is almost like an uncle due to the wind and snow. .

"Isn't the supply obtained from these foreign tribes in the north not enough?"

Lucifer asked with a frown.

"They didn't have the habit of storing large amounts of food, and they destroyed a lot of it by setting fires and poisoning while escaping."

The adjutant shook his head. The imperial army was able to pursue them to such depth only because of their anger and passion. In fact, they had lost contact with the empire's supply transportation for several months.

It was only because the invincible Lord Lucifer killed many dangerous species that blocked his way that he was able to hold on until now, but he couldn't hold on any longer.

Lucifer himself could continue to chase, but there was no point. This group of northern foreigners had been scared out of their wits by him.

"Then go back."

Lucifer didn't insist. After doing this, the emperor was not incompetent, so he naturally wouldn't think that he hadn't fulfilled his promise. Moreover, he had left room for maneuver. Lucifer just wanted to do it thoroughly, so he kept chasing for so long.

After they went back, they quickly reconnected with the empire. The empire had actually sent an order saying that they could stop chasing.

Later, when they couldn't contact each other, the order was constantly transmitted.

It wasn't until now that Lucifer received it.

"They all told me not to continue chasing."

After reading it, Lucifer said lazily.

But he didn't rush back to the imperial capital immediately. Esdeath couldn't run away, and he was now strong enough to do whatever he wanted.

The empire's idea was to build a wall on the border. Since Lucifer had already driven away the northern foreign tribes, they could just keep them out.
