In the depths of the snowy mountains, it was a rare sunny day. The sunlight reflected off the snowy ground, creating a vast expanse of whiteness, dazzling one's eyes.
Childhood is the most memorable memory. Children's duty is to play and grow well. Through games, they can train their future life skills. This is the instinct of life, and it is the path that children of different races must take.
At this moment, in the snowy ground, the children of the Snow Country are playing and playing.
"Ah, Little Snow. Don't run. "
"Only an idiot wouldn't run, quickly chase after me!"
"Stop running, I can't run anymore."
"Wahaha, little Rolo has no stamina, his legs are short, he runs slowly, he is a useless ghost, useless ghost."
It seems that this is a group of innocent and lively children playing hide and seek, and the one who is the ghost is unable to run anymore.
As for those children who were still full of energy, they circled around him, and when he used the last of his strength to chase after them again, they suddenly scattered in an uproar.
It is no wonder that he is unable to catch up. Although they are all children, can the stamina of a snowman child and an ice unicorn child be the same? There are also young Snow Dragons and Snow Phoenixes, they can fly!
Looking at his little friends running further and further away, the little ghost laughs loudly. He has already chased for the entire morning, and is currently tired and hungry.
"Hahahaha, this is so fun, my tears are coming out … Brats, continue running, the ghosts are coming to catch you. The eternal Ice Aeon brings about eternal destruction, the eternal night has already descended, the Ice Aeon will finally arrive … "
The destructive incantation brings about an extremely frightening magical ripple, and a blizzard arrives as scheduled. The 'ghost' who is laughing hysterically starts to prepare a Forbidden Spell that destroys everything, but its target is a group of brats that he can't catch up to no matter how hard he tries.
"Hehehe, there are two types of brats, those that can move and those that can't move. Only the brats that can't move are good children. Soon, all the brats will become immobile, this is great …"
"Personality Modification Kick!"
As the huge ice crystal fist suddenly descends, the Ice Aeon Forbidden Spell is interrupted by the lion head that suddenly flies out. Even though he is clearly sent flying, the 'ghost' is still able to leave behind a final retort.
"What kick? That's a fist! Could it be that all four of your claws are feet? Do you eat with your feet? "
Well, I admit, the unfortunate person who was forced to become a ghost was me, and for the past three days, I have been doing what I hate the most in my life — playing with naughty children!
"How old are you? Still bickering with a child. To think you said you wanted to inherit Rivendate's will. How many days has it been? The Mist descendants are becoming more and more useless. "
"I … I can't take it anymore! I've been playing with those brats for two days. I'm going crazy. Calm down? My heart is about to burst! Are you sure it will help me? I only feel more anxious. "
It was a mistake to listen to this lion head's nonsense. Playing with a child with a smile could calm one's mind? Perhaps this would be the case for other people, but for me, this was simply the torment of purgatory. It was simply too unpleasant.
"… Three days? Oh, let's move on to the next stage. "
The lion shook its head and made a new decision.
"Gui Ming … Are you sure you aren't fooling me? Why do I feel that it's so casual?"
This gigantic ice crystal lion had a rather eastern name. This strange naming method seemed to be the hobby of the first Mist King.
"Un, actually, playing with children to calm down was just fooling you. The real goal was to be stained with the aura of the Infant Ice Beast, which was already achieved yesterday."
Alright, just hearing that it was fooling me made my anger rise.
"Then why didn't you inform me! Do you know how uncomfortable it is to pretend to push snowmen, have snowball fights, and play hide and seek? Especially when these brats are so unreasonable. They play with any danger and won't listen to me no matter what I say. They even treat me as a friend … I can't wait to throw these brats into a cannon and shoot them out! "
"Ah. Everyone thought that you were having fun with them. After all, you are much younger than them. Their parents were also happy to have a playmate from outside. Seeing that you were having so much fun, they allowed them to play with you for another day … Why did you pull out your sword? Why did you chant an incantation? "
At this moment, in my mind, there was only 'I allowed them to play with you for another day because I was having fun' echoing in my head.
"As expected, every brat has an unethical parent. Then, all of you shall turn into dregs. Eternal Glacier, listen to my rage …"
"Aha! The Mist King's direct disciple, the Personality Correcting Fist that specializes in dealing with abnormal people! "
"Ah!"
…
Reinforcements? This was completely out of Eliza's expectations.
The news of the defeat had just spread, and San Antonio's reinforcements were still a thousand miles away. The main forces of the five northern countries were already here. The second wave of mobilization wouldn't happen in a short period of time, so how could reinforcements arrive?
"The lords are waiting for your arrival. They hope that you can participate in the welcoming ceremony of the reinforcements."
Hearing this, Eliza was even more shocked. Currently, Donglan wasn't in a good position among the allied armies. It was obvious that they were being marginalized. How could those arrogant generals of the large countries place her and the Mist Kingdom in their eyes?
"… The generals have invited you over. It is said that this is the request of the reinforcements. They must see the representative of Donglan, otherwise, the reinforcements won't enter the city."
Following which, more news arrived one after another. Only then did she understand what was going on.
In that defeat, the general of San Antonio's army was said to be heavily injured. Thus, the 'Black Bear' Ainro, who was also from San Antonio, took over the command.
But even though they lost more than half of their army, San Antonio was still the largest faction in the allied armies. Considering some special reasons, the allied armies marginalized Donglan even more.
And now, the newly arrived reinforcements obviously didn't give them any face and only acknowledged Donglan. Naturally, this made the generals of the allied armies feel hurt. But since the reinforcements were sent to them, they didn't have the right to reject them.
At the very least, they couldn't expose the disharmony between the allied armies in front of the new reinforcements. Thus, they could only pretend to be powerful and quickly send Eliza to represent Donglan to make up the numbers.
"Where did the reinforcements come from? Donglan's army is already struggling to deal with the Beast Horde, and this reinforcements are giving me so much face. Could it be … "
She looked at the two people in the room suspiciously. From a certain standpoint, these two were super powerful figures. Of course, from their silly smiles, it was impossible to tell how respectable they were.
"It's not me. My accompanying army and the Dragons Guard are still waiting in the tunnel. Without my orders, they won't come out."
Alright, accompanying army? Guards of the Dragons? From a certain standpoint, Anne was doing much better than her adopted father.
With the support of the Dragon Queen, Ein Mezus, she was also a Dragon Princess. Coupled with the fact that the Devils had retreated from the Underground World, Anne and Sulfur Mountain City had become the Underground Autarch that represented humanity. Anne was becoming more and more like the Underground Empress.
Eliza's gaze turned to the other side. This centaur who was previously the destroyer of kitchens and lightning rod of misfortune was also smiling foolishly. Now, she was still the ruler of the Underground Beastmen, one of the 4 Underground Autarchs. At least for now, she was still an equal existence to Anne.
"My Ranger Army and Tribe Warriors are also resting in the tunnel. With Big Sister Anne around, it will be very safe. I don't want to cause any trouble. I can't do anything with my army, right?"
Alright, even if she wasn't lying, she still spoke the truth. She also brought her army with her. When she said that she couldn't do anything with her army, it was probably because it was inconvenient for her to go shopping with too many people.
"You …"
For a moment, Eliza was speechless. What could she say? These two were truly the Underground Autarchs. Since they came to the Surface, it would be inappropriate if they didn't bring a few armies with them.
"Aren't you afraid of causing trouble? The Underground Alliance Army appeared on the Surface and even appeared on the battlefield. If this was a conspiracy theory, it could be written into a few legendary novels. For example, 'The Shocking Conspiracy of the Underground Autarchs and Beastmen', 'Two Spies in the Holy War — The Dark Elves Who Try to Build Bridges'. Yes, if Master was here, he would definitely comment on it. "
"… We didn't expect to encounter a war, so we left everyone in the tunnel. Now that the situation is so chaotic, it should be fine."
"Don't worry. As long as they don't exit the underground tunnel, no one will go there. That is the tomb of the Elf Royal Family. Ordinary Superior Elves are unable to approach it. But in fact, it is a secret tunnel controlled by the Royal Family. This is also the reason why I stayed there to hide from my clansmen. "
Suana's words made everyone heave a sigh of relief. But then, a new question arose. Since the reinforcements weren't from the Underground Alliance Army, then who would it be?
"There are two batches of reinforcements, but they coincidentally met each other. The first batch is the allied forces of Sharal Autonomous Region and the Barbarian Tribe. They are here to support Prince Roland."
Hearing this, Eliza nodded. Roland did mention the secret agreement between the three territories, but he didn't have high hopes for them to send reinforcements. After all, the alliance was still in its probing phase. Many factors were unclear and Sharal itself was in a lot of trouble.
"The second batch of reinforcements is here to support Prince Renée. They are the Ottoman Empire. They said that His Majesty Dasos has sent reinforcements to thank His Highness for fulfilling the agreement regarding the 'key'. "
"Pfft." Hearing this, Eliza couldn't help but smile. Anne burst into laughter.
There were some things that even if Roland didn't say, he wouldn't be able to hide it from the resourceful Eliza. But Anne, who had always been underground, also knew about it. This was a little strange.
"Godfather mentioned it to me before. Is it that His Majesty who has bad eyesight for Uncle Bones? Looks like he's really devoted to Uncle Bones. But it's no wonder, Uncle Bones looks so cute when he's alive. When he was young, he really looked like a cute girl. I really want to hug him. "
Hearing this, while sighing that Adam was indeed Roland's number one bad friend and was really up to no good, Eliza couldn't help but laugh.
"Anne, don't say this in front of Roland. Otherwise, he will really cry in front of you."
…
"If you force me again, I will really cry in front of you!"
"Hatching eggs? Are you crazy or am I crazy? Don't judge me by my looks. You can only blame my mother for this. I am really a male … No, I am a male! Look at where you are going with me! I am a male, how can I possibly hatch eggs. "
My roar echoed in the cave, spreading far away. The reason? It was the new training plan that the lion head in front of me suggested.
"When it hatches, it will be the second step of your training. It is also for this goal that I want you to be tainted with the aura of a baby ice beast. "
It was a pitch-black ice crystal. Judging from the slight chill and the magic runes on the outer layer, it should be Frigid Maw's egg. But shouldn't Frigid Maw eggs be white?
"This is a dead egg, it hasn't hatched successfully. Logically speaking, it should be dead. But look at the magic runes and the ice crystal, you will know that it is still alive."
"Isn't this one of your tribesmen? Are you unable to hatch it yourself? "
"370 years ago, it almost hatched. After that, no matter what we did, it didn't react at all."
Hearing that, I was stunned. At this point in time, it always reminds me of some bad things.
"Twins are the most mysterious existences in this world. They are divided into many types, and one of them is the rarest type, but they are the twins of twins. Their soul fluctuations are the same, as if they were originally one person, but their soul was torn into two parts …"
"Enough!" I first roared angrily, but then I was stunned. What was I angry about? What was it that made me so flustered?
The lion head acted as though he didn't hear anything and continued to explain.
"The Twins of Misfortune? It should be the Twins of Fortune. They often have a unique way of working together and are the most compatible partners. Oh right, by the way, this egg is also Irene Béla's brother. Of course, it is possible that they are sisters. And it was also a descendant of the Mist who sent it here. I don't think I need to say his name. "
At this moment, if I had a mirror, my expression would probably be very ugly.
"I have said what I need to say. The rest is up to you."
