**Chapter 554: The Death God Gazing at the Snow Mountain!**
The northernmost part of the Empire Continent.
This is the vast Snow Region where the Randell People, whom The Empire calls 'Northern Barbarians', have lived for generations.
Because their strong Physique and cold-resistant Physique allow them to easily adapt to the extreme low-temperature Climate Environment, their national pride is very strong, and they possess a firm Will that is significantly stronger than other peoples.
However, after being completely defeated by The Empire a hundred years ago, they became The Empire's most important Military Source Great Zone.
It was fine at first.
But now it is somewhat overwhelmed. The Strength of The Empire's two Opponents in the west and east is truly strong, and for so many years, they have only been able to barely defend their borders.
Therefore, they have become increasingly resistant and averse to The Empire's conscription, as too few people return alive from the two Battlefields.
A portion of the Personnel were very fortunate to remain locally.
But it's easy to imagine that such precious spots were mostly given to the children of the powerful and wealthy, with the remaining vacancies filled by Civilians.
It's just that the probability...
Sekka Fortress, or rather Sekka City, was the Capital of the former Randell Kingdom and is now the capital of the Northern Ethnic Autonomous Region.
This is a rugged City built entirely of stone Houses, Paths, and City Walls. If the Accumulated Snow is not cleared daily, it will be covered in a layer of "white clothing".
Men, Women, Old and Young walking on the streets are all wearing Winter Clothes that are not very thick. Every household has a Stove and a Heated Kang, and the warm and bright Gunfire Flash lights up every home.
But it also produces a large amount of Black Smoke, which shoots straight into the sky through Chimneys and is then dispersed by the Cold Wind higher up.
The Center of the City.
A dark, large Castle stands tall, like a silent Giant guarding the entire Snow Region.
Recently, the Citizens living here have noticed that the Mobilize of Troops is very frequent, and Cavalry riding fast horses are often seen rushing in and out.
Soon, strange News began to circulate among the people, saying that a strange black force had appeared in the east and was approaching here, and that their own Troops were fighting them!
Inside Sekka Castle, Governor Numa, who holds the position of Governor of the Autonomous Region, was listening intently to the battle situation in the east. However, the more he listened, the more solemn his expression became, and his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
"It's only been a few days, and there are already nearly ten thousand casualties..."
"Lord, if it weren't for the assistance of various Ice Plain Danger Beasts, and General Bai Ya's timely adjustment of tactics, no longer engaging in Melee Combat with the Opponent, our Defense Line would have collapsed long ago!"
The Knight who came to deliver the Intelligence was filled with fear. His hoarse voice trembled repeatedly, and his Gaze seemed to be recalling some terrifying Screen Feed.
"Calm down first."
Governor Numa, known as the "Northern Brave", seeing his appearance, immediately got up and walked to him with Hot Tea, signaling him to drink a few sips to warm himself up.
Only after the Knight's Mind had stabilized did he instruct him to elaborate on the more specific Situation.
"Although their numbers don't seem like much, only two or three hundred people in each section, adding up to less than three thousand in total, they are very Strong, each and every one of them is terrifyingly Strong!"
"The Swordsmanship they display can not only produce various light and shadow effects and Sound like Wind, fire, Thunder, and Water, but its Power is also astonishing."
"Our Melee Combat Troops are completely no match for them. One person from their side can cut down more than ten, or even dozens of Warriors holding Blades or spears. If two or three people team up, they can turn an area of a hundred meters into a slaughterhouse..."
Hearing this, Governor Numa could roughly imagine that terrifying Screen Feed, and also realized that the Opponent was very likely an Elite existence similar to Imperial Fist Temple Disciples.
"What about Firearms?"
The Knight replied with a bitter face and a hint of Despair in his tone.
"Lord, their upper bodies are wearing Tight Underwear that looks like a Black Vest. It doesn't look very thick, nor is it Metal, but it can block our Blades and Spears, Bullet, and even the claws and fangs of "Ice Fang Wolf"!"
"Among them, there are some even more terrifying people with unusually tall Physique/Build who can easily kill even Rank 1 Danger Beasts. The Black Coat they wear also has Defense that is impervious to Blades and Guns!"
"So our people can often only pierce their Winter Clothes, and then are cut into pieces by the Opponent's Blade..."
Governor Numa was too shocked to speak, only feeling a heavy boulder pressing down on his Heart.
"But you should have killed some of their people, right?"
The Cavalry bit his dry lips and nodded.
"Before I set off, a total of thirty-two of the Opponent's people were killed. Light and heavy injuries cannot be calculated."
"Eleven of them were personally killed by General Bai Ya riding a "Polar Tiger", ten were frozen by the Ice Breath of a "Shuplinga Dragon" and then blown to pieces by Grenades, and the last eleven were surrounded by over five hundred Warriors fighting desperately, and then bombarded by twenty Heavy Cannon..."
Numa was too shocked to speak any further.
"Lord Governor, as I said before, if it weren't for the Danger Beast Troops and enough Bullet, Cannon, and Military Strength far exceeding the Opponent's, we wouldn't be able to stop them at all!"
After speaking, the Knight could no longer hold on and collapsed onto the ground, then buried his head in his legs and arms and cried softly.
It was simply too tragic!
Those who were not personally on the scene could not imagine how hellish that scene was. Even if the Cavalry riding Warhorses tried to outflank and stretch the enemy from both wings, they would be easily caught up by the Opponent riding a strange Mechanical Vehicle.
"Thank you for your hard work, go down and rest well first!"
After a long silence, Numa sighed deeply, gave the order, and walked back to his Office Desk. Then he wrote down these Situations one by one on letter paper.
He was writing a Request for Reinforcements Letter to the Imperial Capital.
It was clear that although there was a Large Army of 300,000 here, there were only three people who could be called Experts, including himself.
He was the only Imperial Arms User. He simply couldn't stop the Opponent's several thousand, or possibly nearly ten thousand, all-Elite Troops.
Opponents of this Rank could only be dealt with by calling in The Empire's Frontline Force, because they had more powerful Danger Beast Troops and Imperial Arms Users, Ministerial Arms Users, or by sending all the Disciples from the Imperial Fist Temple!
More than ten minutes later.
A White Feather Falcon, unique to the Snow Region, carrying a Small Package containing an Envelope, flew out of the black Castle, flapping its wings rapidly towards the Imperial Capital in the south amidst the Gale and falling snow.
The next day.
Numa Mobilized more Army to Support General Bai Ya in the east and sent him an Order to try his best to delay the enemy and wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the Imperial Capital.
In the following days, the unrest in the northern part of The Empire grew larger. In addition to tens of thousands of Army being Mobilized from various Camps.
There were also Ninja, Secret Agent, Assassin from both sides, and subsequently joined CIPHER POL Member, fighting one-on-one in various corners, Towns, and even the Snow Mountain Area on the Edge of the Snow Region.
Poison, Bombs, Trap, and various insidious and ruthless Means emerged endlessly, turning one living Human after another into Corpses with bizarre death poses, and then leaving them to the Cold Wind and Ice and Snow to bury them...
Just at this time.
Mellard Olberg, with his Butler Daniel and his two Personal Maid, Gilbert and Cassandra, riding an "Airship" pulled by a Large Bird-type Danger Beast, arrived at White Horse Town.
This strongest Assassin of The Empire, who holds the Epithet "Death God", was standing by the window of a three-story building with a Charm Smile, gazing at the faintly visible snow-white Mountain Peak in the distance.
"Although I don't know who you are, you'd better not hurt my Modai-chan, otherwise I'll really get angry~~"
