It was snowing.
Cheil gazed at the snow-covered Velvet Mountains in the distance. She reached out and gently soothed the restless warhorse beneath her.
Behind Cheil was a fully-armed army. They were quietly lurking in the dense forest at the foot of the Velvet Mountains.
The interface of the magic net appeared in front of Cheil's eyes. A message group named "Rescue Team" was constantly being updated with all sorts of messages.
Cheil wanted to sneak into the ruins and destroy the Nephilic Judge's stronghold, but it was too risky for her to go deep into the enemy's territory.
Under the recommendation of the generals in the stronghold fortress, six elite assassins entered the ruins at the foot of the Velvet Mountains with a precious teleportation scroll.
As long as they rescued all the prisoners in the dungeon, Cheil would lead the army to destroy the ruins.
"Your Majesty, we've entered the underground ruins. There are many enemy guards in the ruins."
"Don't do anything! Those people … are not Nephilic Judges. They're just being controlled by them. They're also victims. "
Ravel's message instantly popped up in the group.
"Go to the side from the entrance. There should be a secret door there. Inject magic into a glowing stone, and it will lead you to a lower level."
He further guided the team's actions in the group.
Cheil quietly read all the messages in the group. This was not the first time she had experienced the convenience brought by text messaging on the battlefield.
This time, the plan was also built on the basis of SMS communication.
"Your Majesty, there's a high possibility that there are demons in this mountain range."
A general rode a horse to Shay 'er's side and said in a low voice.
"Demons?"
Shay subconsciously looked to the left. Not far from this forest was a huge rift valley, and on the other side of the rift valley was the Frost Plain.
The demons and the soldiers of the Land of Frost had been fighting on the battlefield for hundreds of years.
"My father once led an army to bypass the Velvet Mountains and ambush the demons. But the army disappeared after entering the Velvet Mountains. Only a small number of survivors were left."
The general hesitated for a while, but he still revealed what could be considered a family scandal.
"Did the survivors say it was the Demon Clan?"
Ever since Cheil became the king, he had been dealing with the internal affairs of the Land of Frost. He had never participated in the war between the stronghold and the demons.
However, the Snow Velvet Mountain Range was too far away from the demon's fortress for the Land of Frost to risk a lot of time and energy to build a fortification here.
"I'm sure. My father became a little abnormal after he came back. He kept repeating the phrase 'the devil is coming'," the general said as he tightened his grip on the reins.
Cheil could sense the undisguised hatred towards demons in this general's voice. This was the most normal view a person from the Land of Frost had towards demons.
The hatred accumulated in people for hundreds of years could not be easily resolved. However, Cheil didn't have this kind of hatred … because the first demon she knew was called Josiah.
"The ones hibernating in the mountains are the Nephilic Judges. They are not demons, but they are more suitable to be called demons."
This was the only thing Cheil could think of to refute the general. Halfway through her words, the warhorse beneath her became uneasy again. It kept stomping its hooves in an attempt to escape.
Cheil could only keep patting its neck to calm its emotions.
A strange sense of danger rose in Cheil's heart. The general beside her also felt a sense of danger.
"The horses of the soldiers are feeling uneasy." The general looked at the knights behind him and said.
The horses were stomping back and forth as if they were trying to escape.
Suddenly, Cheil heard something coming from the bushes in the distance. She immediately summoned an icicle and threw it in the direction of the sound.
A deer jumped out of the bushes and nimbly ran out of the forest.
"It's just a White Frost Deer and some Snow Squirrels."
Cheil said as she looked at the deer and squirrels that were chased away by the icicle.
"But a herd of deer gathering around the forest … It's strange." Cheil closed her eyes and used the Frost Spirit to transfer her vision to the frost and snow in the sky.
Cheil saw a herd of deer gathering around the forest.
"Maybe this is where they feed. The White Frost Deer are very docile. As long as we don't provoke them, they won't attack us."
The general seemed to be quite knowledgeable about these animals.
Just as Cheil was about to order the soldiers to retreat from the forest, there was a new message in the group chat.
"Your Majesty, we have killed the Nephilic Judges in the ruins and are preparing to evacuate with the captives. Please activate the coordinates of the teleportation formation."
This was good news. It was so good that Cheil felt it was a little unreal.
The Nephilic Judges in the ruins were so easily … killed by the assassins under her command?
The assassins Cheil sent were the most elite assassins in the Land of Frost. The fact that they could execute the mission flawlessly proved their strength.
"No, those lunatics aren't dead yet … Their throats were clearly slit."
"Activate the teleportation scroll. Don't fight!"
Cheil immediately sent this message. The spellcasters in the army behind him also activated the teleportation coordinates.
At this moment, a White Frost Deer slowly walked towards them.
Cheil's horse became uneasy again. The general dismounted and approached the White Frost Deer with a flower in his hand.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. They are very docile."
The White Frost Deer sniffed the flower in the general's hand. The general stretched out his hand and was about to stroke the White Frost Deer's fur.
"Dodge! This isn't a deer! "
A premonition of danger surged in Cheil's heart. By the time Cheil warned the general, it was already too late.
A crack suddenly appeared in the middle of the White Frost Deer's head. In the next moment, its head and neck were directly split in half. Scarlet flesh and jagged teeth appeared at the edge of the split. It looked like a crocodile opening its bloody mouth.
The jagged teeth on both sides bit towards the general's hand.
It was already too late for him to dodge. The general's arm was instantly bitten off by the monster.
Blood instantly gushed out of the wrist. A blue inscription appeared in Cheil's hand. Just as she was about to cast a spell, she suddenly felt a pain in her arm.
A Snow Squirrel … No! It wasn't a Snow Squirrel.
This furry monster looked like a Snow Squirrel, but its abdomen split open and a mouth full of sharp teeth bit Cheil's arm.
Cheil endured the pain and condensed a frost that instantly froze the monster into pieces.
The general was also a battle-hardened warrior. Even though he lost an arm, he dodged the White Frost Deer's attack without batting an eyelid.
The ground trembled slightly. The herd of deer outside the forest charged towards the knights that Cheil was in. There were also a large number of Snow Squirrels in the forest.
"Enemy attack! Be careful of those animals … They've all turned into monsters! "
