I, Wang Ha, the Assassin of Three Red Warriors

While the women and children fell silent, Anastasia nudged Estes and asked:

"What's the matter? Listen to what you mean, even the imperial army needs to be on guard?"

"The imperial army has always been lax in military discipline, and they blackmailed us tribes at every turn, and the army of foreign races came here to rob and fight the autumn wind. It would be a disaster if they were captured and made slaves."

Just when Esdeth explained the reason to Anastasia, the veteran soldier who was observing at the top suddenly changed his expression drastically, and exclaimed in a low voice:

"That's, that's the people of the Shaq tribe nearby. Why is the army of the empire massacring the people of the Shaq tribe? This, this shouldn't be!"

On the plain outside the forest, a group of Shaq people on horseback fled crazily in front, while a large number of imperial cavalry were chasing behind them.

In order to get rid of the chasing and killing of the imperial army, the remnants of the Shaq tribe ran towards the forest, just in time for the location of the Baluts tribe and others. The fastest Shaq tribe had rushed into the forest, rolling After falling off the horse, he was dragged into the jungle by the warrior who saw the right time, and asked:

"Brother, what happened? Why did the imperial army chase you down?"

"Dead, all dead, the Shaq clan, the Shaq clan is gone."

The blank-eyed Shaq people told the whole story intermittently, making everyone present realize the seriousness of the matter. The imperial army is carrying out a sweep against the rare ethnic groups. More than a dozen tribes, large or small, have been massacred. Two clean.

Originally thought that the Shaq people were hunted down because of a taboo, but they didn't expect that the empire wanted to completely eradicate the rare ethnic groups in northern Xinjiang.

What's more, this place is only a few miles away from the tribe's garrison. It is estimated that after chasing and killing the Shaq tribe, the next step is to attack the Baluts tribe.

"Tsk, damn it!"

The old soldier who understood the situation shouted ferociously, and looked around at the dozen or so soldiers around him, as well as the women and children behind him, feeling hopeless.

Facing the cavalry charge of hundreds of people, let alone these few people, even all the fighters of the entire Baluts clan are no match for them.

"Esdes, take the women and children back to the clan, let's try to delay here for a while."

Seeing the Shaq tribe fled into the forest one after another, the cavalry troops of the empire stopped and began to shoot arrows. The arrows thrown into the air fell like dense raindrops, covering a large area.

"hidden!!"

Under the shouts of the old soldiers, the frightened women and children began to take action, looking for a place to avoid the arrow rain in a panic.

It was only after Esdeth had hidden herself that she saw Anastasia standing alone, staring up at the oncoming arrow rain, her gentle eyes were replaced by icy ones, and she muttered murmuring;

"Massacre? It's really a bad memory, and I want to take everything away from me, even my life arbitrarily..."

Estes didn't know why Anastasia was in a daze, but she knew it was dangerous now, so she jumped out without hesitation, intending to take her to a safe enough place to hide.

But just when Esdeth came to the princess, Anastasia raised her right hand and pointed forward, singing loudly:

"Guard me, Kremlin."

Accompanied by the turbulent explosion of magic power, a gorgeous castle full of blood and gunpowder smoke materialized out of thin air, sheltering everyone in it, and the solid and thick walls brought an unparalleled sense of security.

"I am the descendant of the Tsar's blood, the princess who rules the Absolute Tundra Empire—— Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova."

Estes looked at everything in front of her in shock. She felt that Anastasia, who was usually gentle and elegant, seemed to be a different person at this moment. She was as cold and ruthless as a snowstorm, and even had a sense of tyranny like an angry bear. .

"Castle standing in the wind and snow, I order you as a princess! Protect my family and friends, and crusade against my enemies - the afterglow, the abominable blood citadel."

Chapter 3 and Seven

The sudden rise of the castle not only startled his own people, but also made the chasing imperial cavalry fall into a state of bewilderment, and even forgot to throw the arrows on the bowstring.

With the emperor's order, the Kremlin on the ground began to change, as if waking up from a deep sleep, the sound of gears gnashing and turning could be heard endlessly, and a dark hole opened on the wall, from which Protruded dense guns and ferocious muzzle.

In the blink of an eye, the bloody fortress turned into a fortress of war, which made the imperial army, which had an absolute advantage before, unable to react for a while. It wasn't until the leading cavalry captain tightened his reins and shouted loudly that he came back to his senses and hurriedly followed Turned the horse's head.

"Withdraw, withdraw quickly! Maybe, maybe Tegushi!!"

Anastasia stood on the top of the city, looking down at the fleeing cavalry in front of her. There was no mercy in her blue eyes, and she had no intention of letting him go. She murmured to herself:

"Bury it, Kremlin."

The next moment, the roar of guns sounded on the silent plain.

The bullets made of magic power poured out of the gun, tearing everything in the field of vision into pieces, followed by the magic cannon that washed the ground, turning the fragmented corpses into dust, explaining what the range of a cannon is All beings are equal within the scope.

The world is impermanent, and the slaughterer with a sword ushered in the retribution of being slaughtered.

Even if they just obeyed orders, they still bear bloody crimes. If hell exists in this world, they will definitely fall into the abyss and suffer for hundreds of years before they can be reincarnated again.

The billowing gunpowder smoke slowly dissipated. Although Estes, who ran to the top of the city, did not see the scene of blood flowing into a river, he had a judgment in his heart, and his tense heartstrings could not help but relax. Speaking of Anastasia.

The roar of the guns alarmed the imperial troops in the distance. They had just completed the bloodbath of the Shaq settlement, and the cavalry team was only sent out to hunt down the escapees.

In order to improve work efficiency, Hiram divided his 2000 troops into multiple groups, each with about [-] people, led by his most trusted subordinates to carry out the mission, and now he has completed most of the sweep of northern Xinjiang.

"What's going on? Could it be that the cavalry encountered resistance?"

The general in the commanding army frowned slightly, looking hesitantly in the direction of the roaring sound, but except for the large-scale invasion by foreign races in the north, there was no force in the northern border that could confront the imperial army head-on.

"According to the map given by Sir Hiram, there are no powerful large tribes nearby. Even if there are encounters, they are just small groups wandering around. Could it be that it is really an alien invasion?"

Thinking of this, the general didn't dare to be negligent, and ordered his men to go down to report to Hiram, and at the same time called the troops to march forward, and scattered all the scouts.

Riding on a tall war horse, the general looked back at the Shaq village in the sea of ​​flames, with suspicion in his expression.

But he didn't dare to ask why he did this, let alone let go of the target ethnic group, because those who wanted to play tricks had already been caught by Hiram and punished.

"Although I don't know why the empire wants to cleanse the rare ethnic groups in the northern border, but if there is an invasion by foreign races in the north, then there is nothing to hesitate, just fight!"

Esdeth, who had just relaxed, saw billowing smoke and dust in the distance again before he could catch his breath, as well as a team marching indistinctly in the smoke screen. He guessed that it should be the arrival of the large army that the Shaq survivors said.

On the open plain, the presence of the Kremlin was extremely conspicuous. Before the scouts delivered their reports, most of the army had already seen the bloody city like a war fortress.

"When did this extra come out?"

The general holding the binoculars was very surprised. Through the binoculars, he saw Anastasia standing at the head of the city, and felt a sense of danger. He felt that the cavalry unit that might encounter an accident was probably folded here.

"Order, the whole army stops advancing and stands guard!"

Seeing that the number of people was more than double that of the cavalry, even Esdeth, who hunted and killed dangerous species all the year round, was not sure. The ethnic group was stationed a few miles behind him, and there was no way for him and the others to retreat. If you give up your belongings and finances, you will not be able to escape anywhere.

"Sister Anna, the other party seems to have thousands of people, can this city stop it?"

Repressing the nervousness in his heart, Estes asked, and while speaking, he drew out his long sword and held it in his hand, as if he wanted to participate in the defense of the city.

"Don't panic, just leave everything to me."

Looking at the mighty imperial army approaching from a distance, Anastasia held the doll in her arms without changing her expression. The ice-blue magic power suddenly dispersed, and the cold enough to freeze the air enveloped the land.

"Вий, look at everything, penetrate everything, and dedicate your mighty power to my ice fog."

An invisible force supported Anastasia, causing the princess to float in mid-air. A huge black shadow materialized from behind her. The ice-like body was almost transparent, and a pair of huge lantern-like eyes shone blue. of brilliance.

"Please, Вий. Let them all be cursed to death, plundered to death, and frozen to death! The magic eye is activated——Run away, Вий!!"

The huge icy palm slapped the imperial army head-on, and the boundless snow and ice swept in.

Before the generals and soldiers could react, the sudden onslaught of cold froze their bodies, and the hard ice spread along the soles of their feet, instantly turning the crowd of soldiers into ice sculptures.

Staring at the ice and snow world in front of him, Estes realized the terrifying power of ice for the first time, and even yearned for this power, which further strengthened the belief that "the strong survive".

"Facing the imperial army, my tribe and I are too weak, so we will die; but facing Sister Anna, the imperial army is too weak, so they will die too."

Under the prestige of the heroic spirit's Noble Phantasm, the empire's frontier troops with a total of thousands of people were powerless to resist.

And Anastasia, who was in anger, did not directly kill them. If the method of thawing was proper, these people still had a chance to survive.

In the final analysis, the princess is not a decisive figure. She has always been a princess living in a greenhouse. If it is not for bad luck, she probably will not be involved in killing in her whole life.

"Let the rest of the matter be left to Grandpa to judge and decide, and see if the bells of this group of people have rung."

After confirming that the enemies were all wiped out, Anastasia undid the embodied treasure, and Bartos also led the warriors of the tribe to rush over.

And the old man of the mountain walked out of the shadows and mixed into the team as if nothing had happened, pretending that he had just arrived.

While Bartos was understanding the situation, Anastasia ran to the old man of the mountain, intending to ask how to deal with the frozen imperial troops.

"I already know the matter. They all participated in the massacre. You can decide for yourself this time."

Anastasia nodded when she heard the words, and planned to put the ice sculptures here just like that. The sun should be able to melt the ice, but whether they can survive depends on personal creation.

After returning to the station, Bartos immediately told the people to pack up their luggage and planned to leave the place as quickly as possible. Seeing this, Anastasia was a little puzzled, so she asked the other party her doubts.

"Miss Anna, the army of more than [-] people just now is only part of the imperial army, and now that they are all dead, we can't stay here for a long time."

Bartos patiently explained the reason to the princess. The other party saved nearly half of the women and children in the clan this time. Even if he wanted to repay this kindness, given the current situation of the Barutus clan, he could not give enough weight. .

"The empire doesn't know why it's so ruthless. Now if you want to survive, you have to withdraw from the frontier and go to the alien race, but there is also a land of tigers and wolves, and it is not easy to survive."

Seeing the way Bartos sighed, Estes, who was standing beside him, hugged his hand and said firmly:

"It's okay dad, we will definitely find a new home, and we will come back when we become strong enough!"

Looking at his sensible daughter, Bartos raised his hand and touched Esdeth's little head, feeling that his gloomy mood was much relieved.

Seeing this, the soft-hearted princess looked at the old man of the mountain. The meaning in her eyes was self-evident. She wanted to help the Baluts tribe through this difficult time. After just seven days together, she had already fallen in love with him. This passionate and brave nation.

For Anastasia's plea, the old man of the mountain nodded and agreed, and they planned to leave in the near future, so it was the last shot before they left.

"Bartos, although the resident must be replaced, it is only a stopgap measure. If you want to solve the root cause of the problem, you still have to start with the attacking imperial army."

Hearing what the old man on the mountain said, Bartos's face flashed with joy, but he quickly suppressed it, touched his head with a wry smile and refused:

"No, our family has already been saved by you twice, and we can't cause trouble for you two, let alone this kind of hostility to the empire."

"It's okay, such a large-scale massacre is simply intolerable!"

The man on the mountain didn't pay attention to Bartos' persuasion, holding the hilt of the sword at his waist with one hand, looking along the plain to the distant horizon.

"However, we still have to travel deep into the hinterland of the empire, so let's change our identity this time and use the name of Ainz Ooal Gong."

Seeing that the man on the mountain had a firm opinion, Bartos didn't say anything more.

In fact, he originally hoped that the other party would make a move, but due to the great kindness he owed earlier, it was difficult for him to ask for help.

I owed it once, and I owed it twice, so there is no need to worry about it for the third time. I will remember it in my heart and find opportunities to repay it in the future.

"In that case, I really thank Lord Alsace."

Bartos bowed deeply to the Mountain Man, the gloom on his face dissipated a lot, but he still maintained a rather dignified expression.

"However, I still have to remind one thing, because there may be Tegushi in the incoming imperial army."

Chapter 3 Ainz Ooal Christine

At dusk and dusk, Anastasia reappeared in the Kremlin, protecting the entire Baluts clan, while the Mountain Man stood alone outside the city gate, quietly waiting for the arrival of the imperial troops on the border.

The setting sun sprinkled golden brilliance, and the gentle breeze blew the loose robe on the old man of the mountain. In order to change his identity, he had already taken off the armor of the Lich King and put on the long-lost mage robe .

The robe has a black background and gold trim, and the shoulders are decorated with bones. After the tall and burly man of the mountain wears it, the overall feeling is very oppressive and intimidating.

In order to prevent the appearance of the pure skeleton from being too scary, the old man of the mountain also took out a mask and put it on, re-enacting the magic caster who saved Karn Village once again.

"Well, there seems to be something missing... By the way, it's a staff!"

The man on the mountain who talked to himself found the abnormality, and then reached out and took out the guild staff from the great tomb of Nazarick. Only then did the whole set of disguises be completed, and he became the Supreme Supreme Ainz Ur Christine.

After getting everything ready, the Old Man of the Mountain released the familiar for reconnaissance, so as to monitor the movement of the imperial army. Otherwise, if the other party never came, he couldn't just stand here and wait.

At this moment, Hiram, who is in command of the army, is advancing towards the place where the Baluts tribe is located, and he, who has always been cautious, is constantly thinking about the reason why his troops lost contact.

"Did you encounter a foreign invasion? Or, did you encounter a passing strong man during the massacre?"

Hillam tried his best to deduce all the possibilities. Once the killing of the good and the taking of the meritorious service was done, it could not be stopped. At least those survivors who knew the truth had to be silenced, otherwise there would be endless troubles.

The mission that was originally carried out smoothly had side effects, which made Hiram feel very bad, not to mention that he might have lost two thousand loyal and elite subordinates, but soon Hiram felt that this was not a bad thing.

"Hey, it seems that we can only report the war damage to the empire. This is actually good. It makes the script I wrote more realistic. I originally planned to let some vacancies go out to serve as casualties, but now it seems that it is not right. I need it."

Just as Hiram was weighing the pros and cons, there was a sudden noise from the front of the army, which made Hiram, who had always strictly enforced military discipline, frowned dissatisfied, and drove over with his horse and whip.

When he came to the front of the team, he knew the cause of the army's riot without asking, because a large piece of shining ice sculpture stood in front of the team, and the person frozen in the ice was the lost empire Soldiers.

"What the hell is going on? Who did it?"

Hilem jumped off his horse and ran over, touched the ice sculpture and observed it carefully, with an uncertain expression on his face.

"It must be the handiwork of Teigushi. Others don't have this ability at all, but the 'Ice' Teigu? Is it the essence of the devil? But isn't that thing that no one can use so far?"

While Hillam was studying the ice sculptures, a sergeant ran back from a distant hillside and came to his side to report:

"General, I found a city a few miles ahead, which should be the settlement of a certain ethnic group."

Hearing this, Hiram looked up at the other party, and asked:

"City? You are indeed a city, not a walled city?"
